This way, Lin Lan obtained six catties of pork belly, 6 catties of pork ribs and another one and a half catties for a pig’s ear, tongue, two pig’s trotters and a small pot of pig’s blood.
Since fatty pork could flourish merely with oil and could be eaten slowly with vegetables, it was very fragrant so members of the commune loved it.
As for those pig’s ears, offal and blood, they weren’t bad taste wise, but at most they would be gone after one meal, which was why no one wanted them.
Except for Lin Lan, no other family decided to stew the meat right after distributing it. Their plan was to place it in a jar after stir-frying it and add a spoonful of meat every time they fry vegetables.
This time, the meat was supposed to last until Chinese New Year.
Seeing them take so much pork, some of the cadres eyes were red with envy, “Look at them, it’s also an old woman who’s leading so many children, so how can she be so capable?”
“Who asked you to keep looking down on women?” The woman rolled her eyes at them, “You guys don’t even see how much Director Han loves his wife!”
Han Jinyu also accompanied Old Lady Han in the pork distribution process. The two of them were worried that the Eldest Sister-in-law and the others would hide some of the meat, so they decided to come and monitor the situation themselves.
Seeing that Lin Lan was taking so much with the children, their eyes were practically about to pop out.
Han Jinyu gulped, “Mother, look at her behaving like that.”
Old lady Han was also furious.
Yu Wuzi was also suffering the same fate as the mother-daughter duo, all being driven into a corner by Lin Lan and Han Qingsong, “Ain’t that the same thing? She doesn’t even care about you being her mother-in-law.”
The old lady was blowing her nose. Damn, it was already freezing, but to see Lin Lan carry a bunch of meat home without even bothering to give some to her own mother-in-law was aggravating.
Lin Lan was about to lead the child home. Before leaving, she bid farewell to Dong Huaihua a few times, but did not greet Old Lady Han.
Looking at two annoying things would further disrupt her mood, so she would rather see them less.
Old Lady Han had been staring at her discreetly, just waiting for Lin Lan to turn her head to address herself. She wanted to roll her eyes and pretend to be indifferent to embarrass Lin Lan in public. Who would have thought that the mother of five didn’t spare a single glance at her and left.
Old lady Han, “… vicious shrew!”
Lin Lan and the children carried the meat home and soaked a portion with mushrooms. After that, she grabbed two handfuls of mushrooms and asked Maisui to deliver them to Dong Huaihua and Xiuyun’s mother.
She led Erwang to handle the meat.
It was impossible to eat more than 10 catties of meat and bones at once, but since there wasn’ a refrigerator at home, it could not be left for too long.
Fortunately, meat didn’t spoil that easily in the winter.
Soon, Maisui came back with a few persimmons and a small bundle of vermicelli, “Mother, the persimmons are from the Women’s Director and the vermicelli are from sister Xiuyun’s family.”
Lin Lan asked her to put them all aside and asked the children to share the persimmons. Because the quantity was limited, two of them would share one.
