Chapter 299 Steamed Yellow Croaker

After unloading, the truck drove away directly.

Xu Bin stepped forward and opened one of the bags, and his face suddenly became excited: "Mom, are all these salted fish?"

"Not entirely, there are more than 850 kilograms of salted fish, and there are also 80 kilograms of frozen fresh large yellow croaker." Xu Ma introduced.

"So many? It seems that the third child is quite capable!" Xu Bin said with emotion.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he knew that he and his brothers, including his father, were no longer in the same world.

"Your brother is not very motivated at work, but he is still very good at making food. All the food and drinks in our family are all due to him."

Xu Ma was so sad.

Sometimes I think about it, to a certain extent she is definitely happier than her old friend Wang Xiujuan. In the current environment, she can take good care of the whole family, so that the whole family can eat and drink without worries.

Is there anything more important than this?

"Mom..." Xu Bin hesitated.

Father Xu said angrily: "Just say what you want to say. We are all one family, regardless of mother-in-law or mother-in-law. What's there to be embarrassed about?"

"Can I buy some salted fish and take it back to Luyang?"

"No." Xu Ma refused directly, "These salted fish are made of dead fish. Eating them is not good for your health. If you want to eat fish, when you leave, Mom will pack more dried seafood for you."

"Mom, it would be nice to have meat to eat. Our family is not picky about food." Xu Bin emphasized.

Not only does their family need these salted fish, but they also want to bring some to their mother-in-law's house. Her mother-in-law will definitely be very happy when she sees these salted fish.

"That's not okay. You must not eat this stinky salted fish."

Father Xu helped to persuade: "Boss, you are right to listen to your mother. Our family has not reached that stage yet, and your mother is doing it for your own good."

"Okay, I won't say anything anymore." Xu Bin shook his head helplessly.

After seven or eight trips back and forth, Xu’s mother drove the scooter and transported the salted fish back to the garage bit by bit. In an instant, the fish was piled up in a corner of the garage.

Yang Lina brought the children over to see Qiqi.

Xu's mother pointed to a red woven bag and said, "Boss, this bag is filled with fresh fish. It needs to be put in the refrigerator. You and your dad can carry it one side at a time."

"Mom, let me do it. Dad has a bad back and it would be bad if he gets hurt." Tan Aifang requested proactively.

Xu Ma thought about it. Although eighty pounds is not too heavy, it may not be bearable for the old man. It is better to be safe, so she agreed:

"Okay, Nana, please help me too!"

Yang Lina nodded and immediately rolled up her sleeves.

Dabao jumped up to Xu's mother: "Grandma, grandma, I have an excavator, and I also want to help."

"Dabao, dear, your excavator can't go up the stairs, can you help grandma next time?" Xu's mother coaxed.

"Okay!" The little guy looked regretful.

The westmost room on the second floor is specially used to store the refrigerator, and there are five large freezers in it.

Two of them are used for tuna meat, two for emperor goose meat, and the last one is dedicated to fish balls and other perishable foods, including some bread and pastries made by Yang Lina.

This was the first time for Xu Bin and his wife to see this, and their eyes almost popped out of their eyes. No wonder the family ate so well every day, it turned out that there was such a rich reserve of meat.

"Mom, did the third child make these too?"

"Who else is it if it's not your brother? Your dad doesn't have this ability." Xu Ma replied with a smile.

Father Xu touched Xiaobao's head to cover up his embarrassment. Although he had some success in his career, his contribution to the family was far inferior to that of his younger son.

So much so that most of the time.

The third child in their family is the one with the most say in the family. Unless it is something too outrageous, his opinions will basically be accepted by the whole family.

"Brother-in-law is so awesome!" Tan Aifang sighed sincerely.

Although Yang Lina felt very happy, she still had to humbly say: "That's all he has."

"Isn't your ability so small? Cao, the richest man in our hometown, probably doesn't live as well as our family." Tan Aifang said in surprise.

"How can this be compared? Cao, the richest man, is a man who does big things. He has several big factories under his control, and the layout is different."

"What's wrong with the richest man?" Xu Ma said unconvinced, "The richest man's family also needs to eat. Our family has no shortage of food and drink. It's not necessarily worse than the richest man's family."

Seeing that her father-in-law and mother-in-law were about to quarrel, Yang Lina quickly dissuaded her: "Dad, you have to work hard. Our family will strive to become the richest man. In this way, we will have a career and a life. Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"

"I wish I had this ability." Father Xu waved his hand, obviously lacking in confidence.

"Grandpa, I believe you can do it." After Xu Jingyi finished speaking, she looked at her little cousin: "Lele, do you think grandpa is great?"

"Grandpa is the most powerful." Lele said proudly. She and her sister often went to grandpa's office to play, knowing that grandpa was in charge of many people.

Coco echoed: "Grandpa is very prestigious in the company. I want to be like grandpa when I grow up."

"Then you have to study hard. Only by going to college can you be like your grandfather." Yang Lina took the opportunity to teach.

"But grandpa never went to college?"

Lele responded quickly. Grandpa often told the sisters stories about their youth. Grandpa didn't even go to high school at that time, let alone college.

Dad Xu called his granddaughters over and said earnestly: "Grandpa suffered from lack of education. You two should learn from your eldest sister, study hard, and go to college. Do you know?"

"I know."

Mom Xu didn't want to continue the previous topic. She called Yang Lina and Tan Aifang to help untie the bag. The frozen yellow croakers came into everyone's sight.

Yang Lina picked up a fish at random and weighed it in her palm:

"Mom, one fish is about one pound. There should be about 70 or 80 fish in this big bag."

Tan Aifang touched the yellow croaker and couldn't let it go: "This fish is so good!"

"Grandma, I want to eat fish." Several children cheered. Every time there is a new ingredient at home, it is their happiest time.

"Okay, grandma will fry the yellow croaker for you tomorrow morning." Mom Xu smiled.

Lele pouted and said, "Grandma, I want steamed food. Too greasy food will make you fat."

"Okay, let's make steamed food."

Xu's mother accepted the advice. Several children in the family have obesity problems to varying degrees, so they should pay attention to their daily diet.

...

At the same time, Xu Dong and his five companions finally arrived at the power company. Section Chief Li, Director Cao, and several other leaders were waiting at the north gate.

"Here we are, the truck is here!" Datou shouted at the door.

Section Chief Li and others hurried out of the guard room.

Xiao Zheng drove the truck into the north gate and parked it directly in the middle of the road. Anyway, there was no one there at night, so there was no need to worry about blocking the road.
