Farmhouse vicious stepmother, she is super fierce

Chapter 258
Hearing that Li Goudan's father spoke first, he asked him to help tomorrow, and entrusted him with all the matters.

Li Goudan's father naturally patted his chest and promised not to mention it.

The eldest and second child of the Zhu family glanced at each other, both somewhat regretful.

But his face was still calm, and he also smiled and said that he would come to help tomorrow, and told Mu Pojun not to be polite.

Talking and laughing all the way, but I don't feel tired.

Back in the village, he unloaded all the things in the courtyard of Mu's house.

Everyone said goodbye and went home.

Shen Jiayan asked them to eat, but they refused, they just said to take home the things they bought first, arrange the family affairs, and bring someone to help in a while.

After leaving the gate of Mu's house, the eldest and second child of Zhu's family were very close, and returned home within a few steps.

As soon as he entered the gate of the courtyard, the face of the second son of the Zhu family sank.

Just when the younger sister of the Zhu family came out of the house, she bumped into each other head-on, and timidly showed a flattering smile: "Big brother, second brother, you are back, why didn't you see sister-in-law—"

Before he finished speaking, the second child of the Zhu family snorted coldly: "Thanks to you, sister-in-law is probably still in town now!"

After finishing speaking, he walked into his own room with his hands shaken.

The younger sister of the Zhu family had tears in her eyes, she looked at the boss of the Zhu family whether she wanted to cry or not: "Brother, why did the second brother get angry, and turned towards me—"

The boss of the Zhu family felt a pain in his head when he saw the younger sister of the Zhu family, and waved his hands: "You have so much time to cry, and you didn't see me coming back with your second brother? I don't know, ask me to have dinner with your second brother." No? If you have leftovers from lunch, go heat it up and bring it to me and your second brother? You are also very old, not a child of two or three years old, so you don’t have any eyesight?"

"Besides, your second brother said a few words about you, so why can't you do it? Just gang up on you? He is telling the truth, and you have the nerve to ask your sister-in-law? If it's not for you, your sister-in-law would need to be so cold One day, I went to the town to beg my grandpa to sue my grandma, and look for the material that was cut by you?"

The younger sister of the Zhu family burst into tears, feeling both wronged and sad.

Inside, the old man and the old lady of the Zhu family heard the commotion outside. The old man frowned and knocked on the pipe pot: "Old woman, you go outside and call your daughter back! It's almost Chinese New Year, weep all day and wipe away tears, let's be parents Damn, that's all, isn't brother and sister-in-law bothered?"

The old lady of the Zhu family couldn't help but said: "Boss and second child really love their daughter-in-laws! Otherwise, when they come back in good condition, what face will they give to our daughter? It's just a little clothing material, how much will it be?"

The old man of the Zhu family glared at the old lady: "You have the ability to say this in front of the boss?"

The old lady shrank her neck and said nothing in the end.

He went out with a sullen face, called the younger sister of the Zhu family into the house, and asked the third daughter-in-law to come out and go to the stove to warm up meals for the eldest and second child of the Zhu family.

The boss of the Zhu family saw his old lady go into the house to comfort the younger sister.

He stomped his feet, sighed, and entered the main room.

Seeing his boss's face, the old man of the Zhu family knew that he had something to say, and motioned him to sit down.

The boss of the Zhu family sat down, holding back a sentence for a long time: "Father, in the coming year, hurry up and find someone to marry the younger sister!"

The old man of the Zhu family lowered his face: "What? Keeping her at home, is it in the way of any of you? Or did your daughter-in-law say something in your ear?"

The boss of the Zhu family smiled wryly and wiped his face: "Father, what you said hurts people's hearts! What kind of person is the child's mother? After all these years, don't you know? Don't say anything else, let's talk about today Well, she is still in the town up to now, busy cleaning up the mess for the younger sister, she doesn't even have a mouthful of hot water! She hasn't been wronged yet, but the younger sister has been wronged?"

"Besides, with my little sister's temperament, you are not afraid of staying at home? The life of the Mu family next door is getting more and more prosperous. If my little sister goes out one day, she is angry and says the wrong thing, then how many generations of our family? How can you lose your face? How will you get along with the Mu family next door in the future?"

"Today, there is a banquet at Mu's house. According to the relationship between our two families in the past, I don't need to go to the door by myself. I'm afraid people will come to ask me to help me to be Mr. Zhike. But after this incident, although The Mu family doesn't know about it, but I feel guilty! I'm afraid that one day if the Mu family finds out, our family will be ashamed to face others."

"So I retreated first, but let that kid Li Dagen pick up the leak, and he was taken advantage of in vain! That's all, for my own sister, this is nothing, but when I go home and take a look, my little sister is still It's hard to understand-"

"No matter how much my son loves my sister, she will eventually marry and become a member of someone else's family! I can't just give up my whole family for her sake, right? Dad, what do you think?"

The old man of the Zhu family didn't speak, he just put his head down and took several puffs of his cigarette.

The smoke covered his expression, and after a long while, he finally spoke: "Since that's the case, don't let her go out this year! After the new year, whether it's your daughter-in-law or someone else, find her It would be good to marry a farther away in-law's family."

Only then did the boss of the Zhu family feel relieved. He knew in his heart that although his parents loved his younger sister, it was their sons who loved him the most. When it came to their fundamental interests, they would definitely favor them.

No one else knew about the Zhu family's affairs.

It was already dark for Bai's family to go home, but of course they got nothing.

Going home tired and hungry, without a sip of hot tea or a bowl of hot rice, my sister-in-law asked if I had bought the ingredients?

I heard no, she didn't say anything, but she cried first, as if she was sorry for her.

Bai Shi only felt that she was tired and flustered. If she used to say a few words of politeness and coax her sister-in-law a few words.

But today I really didn't have any strength, I didn't even say a word, I didn't even eat, I went directly into the house and lay down on the bed.

There was a commotion outside for a while, I don't know what the old man said, and then it was quiet.

After another half a day, the boss of the Zhu family came in with a steaming bowl of Erhe noodles: "My mother, are you starving? Get up and eat! I asked Sanya to serve you a bowl of noodles, and I'm still lying down." I ordered a poached egg, eat it while it’s hot—”

Bai Shi turned over and got up, the tip of his nose was red, and he spoke in a low voice: "You asked Sanya to make me noodles, and no one is gossiping?"

The boss of the Zhu family handed the bowl and chopsticks to Bai's hands: "Who dares to gossip? Don't worry, with your man here, who dares to talk about you?"

Bai-shi spat on her man and buried her head in eating the noodles.

The boss of the Zhu family sat next to her, and then slowly said: "You have been wronged today! My parents and I know it well! I also told my father about this, and after the new year, I will find someone home, just marry the younger sister far away."

After hearing this, Mrs. Bai stopped eating noodles, looked up at the boss of the Zhu family, and said after a long time, "Dad and mother are willing?"

The eldest of the Zhu family snorted: "You can't make the whole family suffer because of a little sister, right? Parents still have to rely on us sons to provide for them! Even if mother is confused, father will not! Dad has already agreed , just marry someone out after the new year!"

After a pause, he said: "It's just that you have to be wronged again. Since you can't buy the clothes material, you can go and talk to the Mu family siblings, and you can either wait until the end of the year, or our family should pay some money to the Mu family? It can't be said that the Mu family is generous, considering the relationship between our two families in the past, we don't want us to lose money! It's just that you have to humbly compensate—"

Bai sneered in her heart, after all, this matter still has to fall on her own head.

But if you can get it right, it is good news to marry my sister-in-law.

The big deal is to let go of her face and just go and make amends to Shen Jiayan.

Although he agreed in his heart, he refused to agree easily, lest the Zhu family would take it seriously.

After struggling all night, I barely let go until the next morning.

Only then did the Zhu family breathe a sigh of relief, and the almost stagnant atmosphere in the early morning revived.

The eldest and second child of Zhu's family both said yesterday that they would go to Mu's house to help, so after breakfast, they rushed to Mu's house together with Mrs. Bai.

I thought it was too early for them to get close, but as soon as they entered the courtyard of Mu's house, it was already full of excitement.

Before it was dark yesterday, Mrs. Huang had already gone to Mu's house to look at the various vegetables she had purchased, and she had a good idea of ​​what she had bought.

After deliberating with Shen Jiayan and Mu Pojun for a while, the menu was finalized.

Last night, Da Zhuang's half-grown children had packed up some big herrings, cut up the half-fried pork, and picked out the ribs and big bones.

Pork belly and lean meat are all cut up and set aside.

Quan's family already knew the vegetables needed for today, before dawn in the morning, they searched all over the village and bought all the vegetables they needed.

They are all pulled from their own vegetable fields, fresh and crisp Chinese cabbage, juicy radish, green and fragrant celery, tender and raw cabbage, green garlic sprouts, with mud and unmelted ice and snow The dregs were put into a basket and carried into the courtyard of Mu's house.

The bowls, chopsticks, tables and chairs are all borrowed from someone. The bowls, chopsticks, and plates are placed in bamboo baskets. After being carried into Mu's house, a woman who washes dishes will take them over.

The hot water has been boiled long ago, so I stirred it with plant ashes, threw the bowls and chopsticks in to refresh it, and passed the hot water again, and it was clean.

The tables and chairs were also borrowed by Li Dagen from someone he knew, and he helped them carry them to the courtyard of Mu's house and put them in order.

From three or four o'clock in the morning, Da Zhuang and Da Zui got up to boil hot water. They had to boil enough tea for the guests for a day, and they also had to prepare things for the stove.

Shen Jiayan loves cleanliness firstly, and secondly, he is willing to spare firewood. When washing vegetables and dishes, he asks everyone to mix them with hot water. Otherwise, in such a cold day, washing vegetables and dishes in cold water may freeze your hands.

Although women in the country rarely use hot water to wash vegetables at home, they always wash vegetables and rice in cold water. Their hands are as cold as carrots, and many of them have chilblains. They are used to it.

Suddenly let them use hot water, I feel a little embarrassed.

But on such a cold day, who can resist the feeling of putting their hands in warm water?

What's more, there is a small clay stove next to it, and a pot of brown sugar and ginger soup is always hot on it. Anyone can scoop a bowl to drink.

A bowl of hot, spicy and sweet brown sugar and ginger soup warmed up the body of those who came to help.

Everyone has a smile on their faces, and they are more motivated to work.

Because there are five and a half kids in Mu's family, they can't do anything else, so it's just right to serve the dishes.

And they are not like other men who help in the village, sometimes they like to get a Joe, as long as they call.

Not to mention that Li Dagen felt that the arrangement of things went very smoothly today, even the women who helped out felt a little more relaxed.

Just call, and they can come to help when they are free.

Huang Pozi came at dawn, and the meat and fish were cut up according to her instructions.

It is rare to have these meat and fish for Mrs. Huang to show her skills. She is busy by the stove.

Today's main dish is stewed radish slices with pork belly. Although it looks rough, it is affordable!Stir-fry large pieces of pork belly into a transparent ladle shape, then add homemade bean paste and continue to fry until fragrant, then add chopped garlic and radish slices, stir-fry for a while, sprinkle with salt and soy sauce, and finally add water Cook.

Before serving out of the pan, sprinkle with chopped green garlic sprouts and coriander powder, it is very fragrant.

Local radishes are the sweetest after being covered with frost and snow. Stewed with pork belly absorbs the aroma of meat without losing the sweetness of radishes.

The herring is cut open, the fish head, homemade sauerkraut, and frozen tofu are stewed into a pot, and the dried chili is put together. There are not many dried chili peppers, which have a slightly spicy taste, which suppresses the fishy smell of the fish head, and the sauerkraut is slightly spicy. Sour, crisp and refreshing in the mouth.

The frozen tofu absorbs the deliciousness of the fish head, and the inside is full of juicy water. When you take a bite, your tongue will blister and you can't bear to spit it out.

The remaining fish body is used to make fish cakes. The meat on the back and belly of the fish is lightly cut off, together with the finely cut fat meat, chopped into puree, egg white and flour are added, and the chopped ginger paste is added. Stir well with scallion and white mince, and steam in a steamer. When it is half-cooked, open the steamer and spread a layer of beaten egg yolk on top.

Then steam for a while, take out the steamed kamaboko, and the egg yolk on the smear has solidified into a golden yellow skin.

At this time, use the red paper that was prepared a long time ago to write the Spring Festival couplets and soak it in the wine. The spots on the skin are very beautiful.

Finally, cut the hot fish cake into strips and put it aside. When it is slightly cold, you can cut it into slices. Put the side dishes made of vermicelli and fungus on the bottom, and then form the fish cake into a ring piece by piece. Spread it on top of the side dish and pour over the thickened toppings.

Light and nutritious, suitable for all ages.

And the leftovers of cutting fish cakes, eaten while it is hot, are children's favorites.

Locally, fish cakes are only eaten during the Chinese New Year or when the family is wealthy and holds banquets.

Only the children of the host's family can get some of this kind of fish cake just out of the pan.

Therefore, as soon as the smell of the fish cake came out, several children couldn't help but gather around the stove.

Even Shen Jiayan couldn't help coming over when he smelled the fragrance.

When it was time to cut the fish cakes, Huang Pozi also cut a few small pieces of fish cakes from the corners, cut them into pieces, put them on a plate and handed them to Mu Yue.

Mu Yue's face flushed with excitement, and she cut about ten pieces into this plate.

She looked at it, picked up the biggest piece with chopsticks, and offered it to Shen Jiayan.

Shen Jiayan was also unceremonious, took this piece of fish cake, took a bite, it was springy, soft and delicious, occasionally he could bite into a little bit of ginger, and that little bit of spiciness was also special.

After two mouthfuls, it was over, and Shen Jiayan still had something to say.
