After get off work in the afternoon, Xia Meng left the factory and returned home.

When Xia Meng arrived home, it was still dark. Sun Mei, who was sitting on the steps in the yard eating cold steamed buns, saw Xia Meng. Her eyes lit up and she jumped up from the ground happily.

"Sister, you're back!"

Xia Meng smiled and nodded, his eyes falling on the steamed bun in Sun Mei's hand. There were a few pickles in the steamed bun.

Xia Meng frowned, with a hint of distress in her tone, "Sister, is this what you have for dinner?"

"This..." Sun Mei looked at the white-faced steamed bun in her hand, smiling with satisfaction, "This is so good. As for the white-faced steamed bun, I could only eat it once a year, but now I eat it every day, sister, don't you You know how content I am!"

Xia Meng still looked disapproving, "Didn't I give you living expenses?"

"The people in our country are so miserable. I cover food and accommodation, and also give you living expenses. Sister, you should eat more meat."

But Sun Mei was cheerful and silly, saying over and over again, "This is good, this is good..."

Xia Meng couldn't change Sun Mei's thinking immediately, so he said,

"Now that I'm back, let's eat meat today!"

"And tomorrow morning, I want to eat fried dough sticks and meat buns!"

Sun Mei was in high spirits and said happily, "Okay! Whatever the girl likes to eat, I will cook it for you!"

After Sun Mei said this, she finished the steamed buns in her hand in a few mouthfuls, then went into the house carrying the vegetable basket and said to Xia Meng,

"Sister, I'm going to the vegetable market to check. There should be meat for sale."

Xia Meng, "Okay!"

An hour later, Sun Mei came back with a vegetable basket and said to Xia Meng with some disappointment,

"Sister, the pork is sold out. I only bought one pound of mutton and a three-pound grass carp."

Xia Meng was not picky about food, so she said, "Let's eat grilled fish tonight, and as for the mutton...let's make mutton buns tomorrow morning."

Sun Mei, "Okay!"

Sun Mei carried the fish back to the kitchen to pack and cook.

Xia Meng barely slept last night, and her body had not fully recovered yet. Her eyes were sore and she was a little sleepy at the moment. Xia Meng told Sun Mei and called her during dinner before going to bed.

Xia Meng was woken up by Sun Mei.

The first time Xia Meng opened her eyes in a daze, she smelled a strong spicy smell.

Xia Meng became more energetic after yawning.

When Sun Mei saw Xia Meng woke up, she went to bring the dishes and chopsticks to the main room.

By the time Xia Meng finished washing, Sun Mei had already prepared everything.

Xia Meng liked barbecue. When Gu Ye found out, he gave Xia Meng a barbecue grill and cooked barbecue for him several times.

Sun Mei can cook, and the taste is very good, but she has been used to the hard life in the past, and she is reluctant to put in more oil and salt, so the taste of the dishes is a bit lacking.

Later, after Xia Meng reminded her countless times, Sun Mei finally dared to put more oil.

They had eaten grilled fish before. After Sun Mei cleaned up the fish, she split the fish head and put it on the grill. Grilled the fish until it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. She fried some side dishes and put them under a tray. Put the fish on top, use what Xia Meng gave her, it seems to be called 'grilled fish ingredients', fry it in oil, a spicy and fragrant smell immediately permeates the whole kitchen, then add some hot water and cook After opening, pour it into a tray. The red oil soup almost covers the fish and side dishes. Sprinkle some minced garlic, minced green onions, and green peppercorns on top, and pour some hot oil on top...

"thorn"

The hot oil completely stimulates the aroma of minced garlic, minced green onions and Sichuan peppercorns. Combined with the spicy and fragrant taste, the spicy taste penetrates directly into people's nostrils.

So delicious!

only...

Sun Mei looked at the thick layer of red oil in the tray with a distressed expression;

It just consumes too much fuel!

So much oil was used to make this meal, how could it not be delicious?

This kind of red soup tastes delicious even when soaked in the soles of your shoes!

Grilled fish should be eaten with rice, and Sun Mei specially steamed a pot of fragrant rice.

Xia Meng sat at the dining table. Sun Mei quickly served Xia Meng a bowl of rice. Seeing that Sun Mei was going to get the steamed buns, Xia Meng quickly said,

"Sister, you haven't heated up the steamed buns yet, they're still cold. Why should you eat steamed buns? Eat rice."

The rice has distinct grains and exudes a rich rice aroma. Rice is more expensive than white flour, so Sun Mei is reluctant to eat rice.

Xia Meng had no choice but to serve Sun Mei a large bowl of rice and stuff it into Sun Mei's hand, "Sister, eat!"

The two of them sat together. Xia Meng was afraid that Sun Mei wouldn't eat fish, so he specially picked up a large piece of fish with chopsticks and put it into Sun Mei's bowl.

Sun Mei grinned happily. The kindness she had received since childhood was limited. After meeting Xia Meng, her hard life finally came to an end. I feel like I am in a dream, and everything in reality is unreal.

But the fragrant rice, the spicy, delicate and smooth fish, and the caring smile of the girl in front of her all reminded her that this was real!

that's nice!

Xia Meng picked up a piece of white fish meat with chopsticks. The fish meat was dipped in some red oil and put it in her mouth. It tasted delicate, fragrant, numb and spicy, um... delicious!

Xia Meng ate two large bowls of rice, and she and Sun Mei devoured all the fish and side dishes.

Sun Mei didn't seem to be full yet, so she picked up a white flour steamed bun and planned to eat it with oily soup.

With a thick layer of red oil, Sun Mei broke off a piece of steamed bun, held it with chopsticks, and dipped it in. The white steamed bun immediately absorbed a lot of red oil and turned red...

Sun Mei stuffed it into her mouth with a happy smile on her face.

"Sister, are you not full?" Xia Meng asked.

"No," Sun Mei said with a simple smile, rather embarrassed.

"I just think it would be a pity if so much oil was poured out like this. It's such a waste. I want to eat the oil with steamed buns."

How greasy this is!

Although people in this era are short of oil and water in their stomachs, it is still not good to eat so much red oil.

Xia Meng quickly advised, "Sister, food is for people to eat. We cook grilled fish. Although we use a little more oil, it is not a waste. We don't eat all the grilled fish and side dishes." Is it light?"

"Besides, you are full. If you overeat, it will be bad for your health."

It's not that Sun Mei doesn't understand, it's just that she's been through too much hardship in the past, and it's just distressing to see so much oil that she has to pour it out.

After Xia Meng's persuasion, Sun Mei finally poured out the soup with a distressed look on her face.

Sun Mei kept the spacious courtyard very clean. She also planted some vegetables in it, including cucumbers, tomatoes, coriander, eggplants, beans, etc.

Some vegetables have sprouted green buds, full of vitality.

Xia Meng walked around the small courtyard a few times, took a bath, and went to sleep.

Early the next morning, when Xia Meng woke up, Sun Mei had already wrapped the mutton buns.

In addition to mutton buns, Sun Mei also cooked a pot of fragrant millet porridge.

The mutton buns are not big, with soft outer skin and a ball of mutton balls inside. When you take a bite, the unique aroma of mutton melts in your mouth, it is very fragrant!

Xia Meng ate seven steamed buns in one go, drank a large bowl of millet porridge, took the bedding that Sun Mei had prepared for her after finishing cooking, and got ready to go to work.

Sun Mei felt a little worried when she saw Xia Meng hugging the quilt, "Sister, I'll give it to you."

Xia Meng was a little worried, "Then you have to take the car by yourself when you come back, is that okay?"

Sun Mei smiled with an honest face, a little proud in her eyes, "No problem, I can take the bus now."

"Okay," Xia Meng handed the quilt to Sun Mei to hold. She took the sheets, pillows, clothes and other items, and the two of them went out to the bus stop together.

Xia Meng left early and arrived at the factory before half past seven, so Xia Meng took Sun Mei to the dormitory assigned to her by the factory.
