Chapter 115 I'm not your dad! Don't call me!
What Lu Junxing didn't mention was that the village was only so big, and there was only one family raising pigs. These old ladies wanted to buy pig heads but hadn't been able to, which showed that pig heads were a scarce commodity here.
If they knew that my uncle didn't keep this item for anyone in our own village, but instead gave it away for free to someone from out of town, they'd probably hold a grudge against him.
She was also afraid that if she sold the goods too easily, it would disrupt her uncle's rules for selling pork, and then no one would buy according to the pre-ordered rules.
In this village, everyone helps each other out when one family is in trouble. You can tell from the fact that the village chief protected and even stole their valuables. A few months later, when my uncle's family gets married and holds their wedding banquet, they'll definitely need these old women's help.
I'm afraid they'll hold a grudge against my uncle, and that would cause him trouble.
When the group returned, they saw Shen Shaocheng sitting in front of the tent cleaning fish. He had brought back seven or eight fish that he had caught for the host family, along with some pickled vegetables.
He gave Yangyang's family a fish in exchange for some sweet potato sprouts and chili peppers, planning to make a steamed fish head with chopped chili peppers, a steamed fish, and a fish soup later.
The pickled cabbage was homemade by the villagers, and it was extremely sour. He planned to soak it for a while and then make pickled cabbage fish for dinner.
When he saw that she had returned, he greeted everyone and, after learning what had happened, gave Ni Hao two more fish and some vegetables. He only spoke after everyone had left.
"Duoduo's family will be eating together later. Duoduo's mom doesn't know how to kill fish, so I'll just kill them here and take them to their house to cook later! It'll be more convenient for them since they have gas there!"
Where is Shen Yu?
"They're at Duoduo's house. They have a TV. I'll go over there later and get some spices and braise it for dinner! Pig's head meat is really good stuff!"
"Looks like An'an didn't get away with getting covered in pig manure for nothing! It's actually helped improve our lives!"
Shen Shaocheng also found it amusing; you never know what a kid might do next: "Her embarrassing past happens to be high-definition; we'll show it to her when she grows up, hahaha~"
When the two of them carried the things to Duoduo's courtyard, they saw three little kids sitting in front of the TV in the living room. Shen Yu glanced at them when he saw the commotion.
The troublemaker was so engrossed that he didn't even lift his head, occasionally grinning from ear to ear.
Seeing this, the man shoved the large pig's head he was holding in front of her: "Here you go~, this is the pig's reward for helping you!"
"Wow~"
Duo Duo was so frightened by the pig's head that she backed away, too scared to look again. Shen Yu, on the other hand, remained calm, because his father liked to eat it and he had seen it at home several times before.
An'an, on the other hand, was very excited to see the big pig's head. If Lu Junxing hadn't picked it up, she would have hugged it: "Really? The pig is so nice, giving us its brain to eat!"
"Dad? Did you thank it on its behalf?"
An'an stared at the pig's head, no longer liking Peppa Pig as much as she did on TV. She tugged at the man's pants and said, "Daddy? Can you sweep up pig poop every day? That way, people will have lots of pig heads!"
"Dad! Can you please not go to work? Can you just feed the pigs and clean up their poop instead?"
The man tapped her on the head, then carried the pig into the kitchen: "What's so good about it? Do you think I'm living too well? One pig is enough for me!"
I also heard the troublemaker ask, "Brother Shen Yu~, Duo Duo~, is my dad going to feed the pigs or not?"
"Probably, I don't know either~"
Shen Yu shook his head. He didn't understand what An'an's father meant either, but An'an didn't care and only listened to what she wanted to hear.
"Then my dad will feed the pigs, and I'll have lots of piglets! One for Duoduo, one for me, one for Brother Shen Yu, and one for me!"
"An'an~, I don't want to raise a piglet, I just want to eat its meat, okay?"
Dodo remembered the horrible pig's head from earlier and was reluctant to raise such a pig. She tugged at her skirt and asked...
Lu Junxing, who was in the kitchen, only knew how to cook simple things like noodles and fry eggs. He didn't know how to cook fish, so he just assisted Xu Tinglan, who stir-fried yesterday's tomatoes.
Finally, the dishes were served. Shen Yu was allergic to fish and could only eat vegetables. Shen Shaocheng felt sorry for him and made him a pack of instant noodles that he had been craving.
Xu Tinglan wanted to steam another egg custard for him, but Shen Shaocheng stopped her, saying, "You guys eat yours! No need to go to all that trouble!"
Shen Yu was a little awkward and wanted to refuse, but before he could speak, he saw his father enter the kitchen with a bag of instant noodles. A moment later, Shen Shaocheng placed a stainless steel bowl in front of Shen Yu: "Eat later!"
“It smells so good~”
An'an stared at the steaming instant noodles in the stainless steel bowl, and moved closer, almost pushing Shen Yu off the table without her realizing it.
"Slurp~, what does this look like? Brother Shen Yu~"
Shen Yu looked at An An, who was staring intently at him, and pulled up the hem of her coat to wipe her drool. He then silently pushed the instant noodles in front of her.
"This is instant noodles! But we'll have to wait a while before we can eat it!"
"Yes, An'an~, instant noodles are so delicious, my dad has eaten them before!"
After Duoduo finished speaking, she stared longingly at the bowl and shoveled two mouthfuls of rice into her mouth, afraid that she would be unable to resist wanting to eat too!
Finally, Lu Junxing couldn't bear to watch any longer. He dragged the troublemaker back to sit down and pushed the instant noodles back in front of Shen Yu: "Eat your fish! Shen Yu can't eat fish, that's why he's eating instant noodles!"
Xu Tinglan also piled a lot of food into the two children's bowls, urging them to eat quickly so they wouldn't crave more food.
In the end, Shen Shaocheng felt a little embarrassed and realized he had forgotten about the two children. He then made the remaining packet of instant noodles and asked if the children could eat them, since he was an adult.
Seeing the two girls drooling all over the table, how could Lu Junxing and Xu Tinglan possibly refuse to let them eat?
That's how An'an learned that besides chocolate and cake, the world also had other delicious foods, and from then on, her taste buds were marked by the taste of instant noodles.
On the way back, An'an was still savoring the taste, and patted the man's shoulder in dissatisfaction: "Dad? Instant noodles smell so good! How come I've never had them before?"
"I want to eat instant noodles every day!"
An'an suspected that she had many, many delicious foods that she had never seen or tasted before.
"I can't afford instant noodles! They cost a lot of money!"
The man said without changing his expression, thinking to himself, "I'll have to be careful next time! I can't let her eat any other junk food; she's never seen the world! She wants to eat everything!"
"Then go make some money!"
"I can't earn that much money!"
"Then... can you help me find a dad who can buy lots and lots of instant noodles... okay?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Junxing stared sharply at her, wanting to see how she could say such a thing. He hadn't expected her to be so demanding.
"Shen Yu's dad is just fine~ Dad~, Cheng-ge can buy two instant noodles!"
"I'm not your dad! Don't call me that!"
Shen Shaocheng watched the father and daughter bickering with amusement, then explained to the child that eating instant noodles could lead to nutritional imbalances and was difficult to digest, so she shouldn't eat too much, especially reminding Shen Yu.
"It smells so good~, it'll definitely be fine~"
An'an nodded seriously. How could she not eat something that smelled so good?
