The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 70 Grandma~Is the New Year coming?

Sun Fendou first glanced at the salesperson, who immediately understood what he meant and took a piece of good meat with only a little lean meat.

People in later generations like to eat lean meat because it is not lacking in nutrition.

People nowadays prefer fatty meat.

Li Mu naturally noticed the eye contact between Sun Fendou and the salesperson, and looked at him with gratitude.

When we got the meat out, Sun Fendou was waiting outside.

The two walked for more than ten steps before Sun Fendou said, "Didn't I tell you that if you want to buy meat, don't bother, just come to me."

"But you can also buy it at the supply and marketing cooperative. I'll talk to Xiao Chen and ask him to pick out the meat for you."

Fat and lean meat are both meat, but at this time everyone likes to eat fat meat, so lean meat is actually not popular.

But if you buy it at the supply and marketing cooperative, you're lucky to get it, there's no choice at all.

"Is this convenient?" Li Mu was a little tempted, but still didn't want to owe anyone a favor.

Sun Fendou smiled and said, "Is it inconvenient? Or you can just give me the meat ticket in the future. I will get the meat from the factory for you, and I can also give you some offal."

"Then I will look for you, Brother Sun, next time." Li Mu smiled and did not refuse.

Afterwards, he chatted with Sun Fendou for a few more words before riding away on his bicycle.

……

Back to the slum.

Just as he stopped at the door, a voice rang out from behind Li Mu: "Hey, college student, what a coincidence!"

Li Mu turned his head and saw Shazhu running towards him with a smile on her face, and she seemed to be holding a bag in her hand.

"It's a coincidence that we meet again." Li Mu smiled.

Sha Zhu chuckled and said, "Actually, I came to you specifically to find you. Last time, your uncle made me an air fryer. I took it home and tried it out. It's really good!"

"Everyone in our courtyard is full of praise for you!"

Shazhu said this while giving a thumbs up.

"I heard that it wasn't like this before." Li Mu said lightly.

He didn't need to ask about those rumors, because he could remember a lot of them just from what Grandma Li said every day.

Among the bunch of weirdos in Shazhu's courtyard, how many can say anything good about it?
"That was all they said in the past. Now they all say yes when they see each other." Sha Zhu rubbed her hands and said, "Take Sister Qin from our courtyard for example. She also wants one."

"Don't worry, it's not in vain. I'll provide the ingredients and you can also keep this piece of braised pork as a token of my appreciation."

Upon hearing this, Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "Want to make another one?"

Who could be the Sister Qin that Shazhu is talking about but Qin Huaiyu.

"Yes, but your uncle insisted that it would only work if you agreed." Sha Zhu laughed and patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I will never let your uncle suffer any loss. This time I will give you more..."

"Shazhu!" Li Mu's eyes suddenly became sharp, scaring Shazhu so much that she stopped talking immediately.

If it were someone else, if they glared at him like that, Shazhu would have rolled up his sleeves and taken action.

But he is a bit confused, not really stupid. Can a college student fight?

Li Mu looked around and saw that no one heard him. His expression eased a little and he said, "Shazhu, only you can do this, but no one else can do it."

"My uncle works for the factory after all. Once or twice is fine, but if you do it more than once, people will gossip about you. You will understand that."

"Oh, look at my brain, I haven't thought of this." Sha Zhu slapped his head, not knowing whether he was really stupid or pretending to be stupid, and said: "Just pretend I didn't mention it, just pretend I didn't mention it..."

Having said that, Shazhu left in a hurry.

When they reached the end of the alley, they met Xu Damao. Before they had said a word, Shazhu started to roll up his sleeves. Xu Damao was so scared that he ran away.

...Walking into the yard, under the banyan tree, Grandma Li was sitting and chatting with a few old sisters.

Seeing Li Mu coming back, Grandma Li stood up quickly: "Xiao Mu, you're back, are you hungry?"

"A little bit. I bought some meat today. Grandma, you can ask Auntie to cook it later." After saying that, Li Mu thought of the air fryer, which can be used to fry chicken legs, so he said, "By the way, grandma, you can marinate the chicken legs with some seasonings, and I will cook it myself."

"Why buy so much? It's a waste." Grandma Li took the meat and seemed to be complaining, but in fact she was showing off to the old sisters she had just chatted with.

"Xiao Lan and Xiao Yu are growing up and eat a lot." Li Mu explained, and then asked: "Why didn't I see them running around today?"

Grandma Li said, "You are so old and you still only know how to play. If you were in the countryside, you should be working in the fields at this age."

"At noon, they were locked in the room and told to learn how to write. They were not allowed to come out until they finished writing."

"Then it's about time they take a break." Li Mu said with a smile.

"Okay, now that you're back, I won't worry about you watching over me." Grandma Li said with a smile.

Only then did Li Mu go to the room to find his two little sisters.

Li Mu called out at the door: "Xiao Lan, Xiao Yu."

"Brother~Brother~" A soft and cute voice responded at the same time. Before Li Mu pushed the door, Li Lan and Li Yu opened the door and threw themselves into Li Mu's arms and acted coquettishly.

Li Mu rubbed their heads and said, "You must have worked hard writing today. Now you can go play."

"It's not hard~Brother, look at what I wrote." Li Lan handed the notebook to Li Mu, and one side of it was covered with crooked words "Li".

Li Yu quickly went to get his own notebook: "Brother, look at mine, look at mine~"

"You all wrote very well. I'll reward you with delicious food tonight!" Li Mu praised.

Li Lan and Li Yu's eyes lit up immediately: "What a good deal! What a good deal~"

"Do you want to know? Come with me and you'll find out." Li Mu smiled and led the two of them to the kitchen.

Grandma Li was packing up the meat she brought back. When she saw Li Mu and the two little girls come in, she knew that he was here to fry the chicken legs, so she put the chicken legs that she had prepared earlier on a plate and handed them to Li Mu.

Li Lan and Li Yu exclaimed at the same time:
"drumstick!"

“It’s a chicken drumstick!”

"Grandma, is it New Year's Day?" asked the younger Li Yu, making Grandma Li laugh so hard that she couldn't stop.

Li Mu couldn't help but smile, but after smiling, he felt sad.

"Come, let's make fried chicken legs." Li Mu quickly calmed down and took his two little sisters out.

Put the air fryer in place and start frying!
Twenty minutes later, Li Mu opened the pot and the rich aroma of meat immediately emerged from the pot.

"It smells so good~" Li Lan and Li Yu swallowed their saliva, staring at the chicken legs with their big black eyes.

Li Mu waited for the chicken drumsticks to cool down before taking them out and giving one to Li Lan and Li Yu: "Eat slowly, be careful of the heat."

The two little girls took the chicken legs and ate them in one bite. Their mouths were full of oil and they responded, "Howl~"

At this moment, the voice of my aunt Wang Juanhong came from outside: "Xiao Lan, Xiao Yu, where are you?"

"Tsk~" The two little girls were busy eating and their speech was a little unclear.

Wang Juanhong walked in smelling the aroma of meat and was surprised to see Li Lan and Li Yu eating chicken legs. She asked, "Where did you get the chicken legs?"

But when she saw Li Mu standing aside, Wang Juanhong suddenly understood.

"Xiao Mu, don't spoil them too much. You're going to spoil them. Look at other children, they can't eat meat for ten days or half a month, but they eat meat every few days." Wang Juanhong complained, but her expression was very happy.

Li Mu could see it, of course, and said with a smile: "Other people's families are their families, we are us, why not eat if we have the ability."
