Chapter 28

Zhou Shiye nodded obediently.

He was complaining in his heart.

His mother was not like this before. She would talk to him gently and teach him gently, so she would not be so fierce and look scary.

Shi Qingxiao stood up, "I'm going to the kitchen to cook, so that your dad won't smash the only pot in the house with his shaking hands."

Zhou Shitang's three siblings: "..."

Dad's hands were shaking terribly.

Zhou Shitang followed Shi Qingxiao, "Mom, I'll go with you. I know how to fry wild boar meat to make it delicious."

Shi Qingxiao smiled fondly, "Snack."

Zhou Shitang held his mother's arm and said, "That mother is a big foodie."

Mother and daughter came to the kitchen.

Zhou Yancheng had already picked up the broken barrel and put it in the corner, and put the scattered firewood in one place to prevent others from stepping on it and falling.

When Shi Qingxiao saw that the water tank was out of water, he went to look for the big basin, but he didn't see it. "Where's our big basin? Isn't it also rotten?"

Zhou Shitang quickly shook his head, "No, no, sister went out to fetch water with a basin."

Zhou Yancheng divided the two kilogram piece of pork into two halves. He planned to marinate the pork into bacon as his little girl said, so that it could be preserved longer.

However, when he saw his wife coming in, it was obvious that he wanted to do it himself, so he immediately handed over the main task to her, "Madam, you can pickle the bacon. I will help you from the side."

After Shi Qingxiao came to Lingnan, he started cooking for the sake of food and drink for his family. From the beginning, the fried vegetables turned into a black mass, and now he can barely eat them.

When she heard Zhou Yancheng's words, she didn't hesitate to chase them away, "You go out and chop firewood. It's a hindrance here. I have Tangtang, which is enough."

Zhou Yancheng lacked confidence and walked out slowly.

Shi Qingxiao picked up the kitchen knife and cut half a catty of pork for today's dinner, and the rest was used for bacon.

She didn't know the process of making bacon, so she turned to Zhou Shitang and asked, "Tangtang, please tell me the process of making bacon."

Zhou Shitang: "The only seasoning we have is salt. The cured bacon may not be very delicious. Alas, we can only make do with it."

She pointed at the pork, "First remove the dirt on the skin, make a small hole here, and then marinate it with salt, with the skin down and the meat up. But since we only have a little pork, we don't pay that much attention."

"It takes about ten days to marinate, then thread a thread through the holes and hang the meat in a ventilated place to dry until it is semi-dry."

Zhou Shitang paused and continued: "If you want to fry pork, boil it with water first, add some salt to remove the smell, cook it for a longer time, then pick up the pork, pour out the water, and then fry it."

Shi Qingxiao nodded, indicating that he understood.

She looked around, wrapped a piece of pork in banana leaves, and handed it to Zhou Shitang, "Take this piece of pork to your aunt and ask her to cook the pork until it becomes softer. Your grandmother has a bad speech and cannot eat too much." Something hard.”

"Then you can eat when you come back."

Zhou Shitang took the pork and took some celery and medicinal herbs. "I dug up celery and medicinal herbs today. I will also send some to my eldest aunt."

Shi Qingxiao hummed. Thinking of her sister-in-law's temperament, she couldn't help but tell her, "Come back after talking to your grandmother. You don't need to remember what your aunt said."

Zhou Shitang smiled and said, "I know."

She walked out with the pork in her arms, and happened to see Zhou Shiruo coming back from fetching water, "Sister, mother is back. She is in the kitchen now. I will send the pork to my eldest aunt."

Zhou Shiruo curled his lips, "Auntie has always been stingy. If my grandmother hadn't lived with her, I wouldn't have wanted to go see her, so as not to say bad things about me behind my back."

When she was in the capital, when she went out to play with her little sisters, her eldest aunt often whispered behind her back. Don't think she didn't know, she heard it several times.

She said that she went out to show off every day, which made her lose the face of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and her identity as the Prime Minister's daughter was lost in vain.What's bothering her when she goes out to play?

Get angry when you think about it.

Zhou Shitang raised his hand and gently touched Zhou Shiruo's face, comforting him, "Okay, sister, don't be angry. Think about it, we have meat to eat tonight. Are you happy?"

Zhou Shiruo's eyebrows curved, "Happy."

"I won't tell you anymore. I'll bring the water to the kitchen first." Zhou Shiruo hurried to the kitchen, his eyes shining with the light that only came after hearing that he could eat meat.

Zhou Shitang walked out holding the pork in his arms.

Zhou Yancheng was chopping firewood. When he saw Zhou Shitang going out alone, he put down his ax and shouted, "Tangtang, why are you out so late?"

"Mom asked me to deliver pork to my eldest aunt. I'll be back soon. You don't have to worry." Zhou Shitang pointed to the package of pork in his arms.

Zhou Yancheng understood instantly, and his heart felt hot. He turned his head and looked in the direction of the kitchen.

The relationship between my wife and my sister-in-law is not good, and they even had a quarrel.

But at this moment, she asked her daughter to send the pork over.

He knew that his wife wanted his mother to eat pork.

He also knew why his mother chose to live with his eldest brother.

Zhou Yancheng turned around and shouted towards the room: "Zhou Shimu, go to your uncle's house with Tangtang."

Zhou Shimu came out and went to deliver pork with Zhou Shitang.

Zhou Yancheng strode into the kitchen without even chopping firewood.

When Zhou Shiruo saw his biological father coming in, he picked up the basin and ran, "I'll go get some more water and come back."

"Xiao'er, thank you." Zhou Yancheng approached the stove and slowly stopped, feeling deeply moved. "Without you here, I don't know if I would have come to Lingnan alive."

Shi Qingxiao was lighting the fire. She didn't understand why he was so emotional all of a sudden. She added a piece of firewood and said, "You are the greatest thank you to me if you don't cause trouble for me in the future."

"I'll try my best." Zhou Yancheng's eyes were locked on Shi Qingxiao, and he continued, "Thank you for taking my mother into your heart."

Shi Qingxiao's hand paused, and she probably knew what he wanted to express, "She raised you, taught you knowledge, provided you with education, and allowed you to come to the capital to be an official, so that you could get to know me."

"Since I married into your Zhou family, she has never treated me harshly and treated me like her own daughter, so everything I do now is as it should be."

"She is in poor health now. It's a pity that I can't be by her side to serve her, so I can only send some food to show my filial piety."

Tears flashed in Zhou Yancheng's eyes, "I..."

Shi Qingxiao interrupted him and started to chase people away, saying fiercely: "Don't get in the way here, get out of here."

She was going to cry if she said any more.

Now is not the time to be sensational.

Zhou Yancheng took back what he wanted to say and said instead: "I'll help you."

……

Zhou Yanshao's home is about one mile away from Zhou Yancheng's home.

Zhou Shitang and Zhou Shimu arrived not long after leaving.

Zhou Mingyi came back after fetching several buckets of water. He fetched another bucket at this time. When he came back, he saw the two brothers Zhou Shitang. He was pleasantly surprised and shouted with a smile: "Second brother, third sister, you are here. Grandma is still talking about you today." .”
