The peasant girl who escaped the famine: pick up the leak and pick up a prince

Chapter 120 Chen Xia'er's Illness

In the evening, after Yu Maimai cooked the pig's head in a pot, he ordered his two daughters-in-law to come over to help.

There were vegetables in the vegetable garden outside, Ning picked some up, put them in a basin, washed them, and cut them into small cubes.

Yu Maimai put the cooked pig's head meat on a plate, wrapped it with a piece of coarse cloth, and then told Mrs. Zhang: "What are you waiting for, quickly find a stone and press it on it, and let it cool down in a while." eat."

"Mother, why don't you eat the freshly cooked meat while it's still hot, instead of waiting for it to cool?"

Ning Shi didn't speak, sometimes, she clearly thought of it, but didn't dare to ask her mother-in-law directly, for fear that her mother-in-law would say something to her, but Zhang Shi was not afraid, and said everything, so Ning Shi would be left behind. Quiet.

Li Shengwang walked in, just saw Mrs. Zhang moving the stone, and said, "Shall I come?"

Seeing this, Qiao Shan ran over immediately: "My lord, let me do it, I can move it!"

Li Shengwang ignored it and continued to move the stones. After pressing the pork head, he clapped his hands and said flatteringly, "How is it? When can I eat it?"

Qiao Shan Qiao Mai looked at the bones in the basin in front of him, and said with some regret: "I really didn't expect that a pig's head would only have bones left like this. You said that people nowadays are really cruel, and they want everything. eat?"

The corners of Yu Maimai's mouth turned up, and he grinned and said: "Yes, anyway, if you eat it, it will kill your life. You two should stop eating it after a while. You will feel bad if you eat it."

Qiao Shan blushed when he heard this, and said embarrassedly: "We, we are just talking casually, killing everything, and not eating meat, this is unreasonable."

Pork head meat can be made into pork belly. This is in Maimai’s hometown in his previous life, but it is an important dish. I don’t know why I came here. People here think that pigs are bad. It’s really puzzling. of.

Yu Maimai then steamed the rice in the iron pan, cut the pork liver into uniform slices, and then ordered Mrs. Zhang: "Master, help me wash those wild peppers and cut them into slices, waiting to be used." .”

Mrs. Zhang stopped talking, and washed the wild pepper, cut it into slices, and put it on a plate for use.

With a sizzling sound, Yu Maimai first poured the wild pepper into the iron pot, and gently turned it a few times with a shovel, and then smelled a choking smell, which spread throughout the kitchen and the entire small yard , and even this spicy taste has drifted to Aunt Chen's house.

Li Shengwang was naturally disgusted with this spicy taste. As soon as he smelled it, he covered his mouth and said, "You, are you right with me? You clearly know that I don't like this spicy taste, so you still do it?"

"You think it's beautiful, and I won't cook what you don't like. Let me tell you, the more you don't like the food, the more I want to eat it, and I have to cook it deliciously. If you don't eat it at that time, think Eat, if you want to eat, hot mouth?"

Li Shengwang walked out of the kitchen with his eyes closed and his mouth covered. Yu Maimai turned over the pork liver and wild pepper in the pot, and said with a smile: "A big man always stays in the women's kitchen, and he doesn't know What will others say about you if it gets out?"

Yu Maimai doesn't like such a man, and naturally she doesn't like Li Shengwang staying in the kitchen all day, even if it is to help her with something, Yu Maimai still doesn't like it.

Aunt Chen was doing needlework in the house, and she couldn't help sneezing a few times when she smelled the pungent spicy smell.

"Really, it must be that this widow Zhang is doing something to eat again. This woman is also true. She doesn't like to eat anything, except that she likes spicy food. She is really different from other people."

Chen Yan'er sat on the edge of the Kang with a glass of water, her eyes rolled a few times, and then she snorted a few times.

"My aunt is making delicious food again, mother, why don't you study hard with my aunt, everything they make is delicious, whether it's pancakes or steamed stuffed buns, they are all so delicious, but what mother makes is just delicious. Don't want to eat?"

Aunt Chen put aside the needle and thread in her hand, and said angrily: "I said you are a dead girl, how can you say that about mother, mother's cooking is not good, and you have raised you so much, really commit crimes."

At this time, a roar came out of the small house: "Fat woman, I want to eat, I want to eat!"

This voice is the voice of Aunt Chen's daughter, Chen Xia'er. This Chen Xia'er has become like this since she got married. Her husband's family doesn't want her, so she can ignore her as a mother. Chen Xia'er took her home.

"Oh, what a crime, why am I so miserable, your brother is a prodigal, gambling all day long, it's fine if he doesn't give the family a penny, and he's still hooking up with me outside, what about your sister? , just like this madness, you want me to serve you, and you, although you have a marriage contract with that Liu Wenbing, but you don't know what will happen in the future, why do you say that I, a mother, have such a hard life?"

When Liu Wenbing was involved, Chen Yan'er blushed and said with a smile: "Mother, Wenbing said, can I wait for us to get married, and give it slowly, his father is sick, and there is no money at home. Do you still need someone to take care of you?"

As soon as Aunt Chen heard this, she put her hands on her waist and cursed: "I just said, this Liu Wenbing is not a good guy, as expected, he is hiding a hand with me, what's the matter, his father If you are sick, you will marry my daughter for free, how is this possible, you go and tell Liu Wenbing to stop dreaming in broad daylight."

Chen Yan'er knew that her mother would definitely not agree to this matter, but Liu Wenbing begged her again and again, so she bit the bullet and told her mother. Very angry, cursed cracklingly, and walked towards the small house.

Chen Xia'er's small room was dark and damp. There was a mat on a kang, which was already worn out. Aunt Chen's old quilt was used as a quilt for her, and the whole room was smelly.

The newspapers on the wall had already been torn by Chen Xiaer. On the mat, because she often didn't take a bath, she slept like a human being. Chen Xiaer herself also had disheveled hair, her face was swollen, and her eyes were deep-set. Deep caved down, watching, very scared.

Aunt Chen brought a bowl of rice, put it on the rough and uneven table beside her, pointed to the rice on the table and said: "Xiaxia, get up and eat a little, don't fall asleep often, if you fall asleep like this, what will you do in the future? "

Every time Aunt Chen mentioned the future, this Chen Xia'er was very angry and began to swear: "You fat woman, what are you talking about, do you want me to die?"
