On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

When Boss Xiao and the others arrived, Xiao Lian invited everyone to have a bowl of Laba porridge first: "I thought you might come, so I went to the back house early in the morning to buy a lot of ingredients, and started cooking Laba porridge when I came back."

Even though there was a lot of rice and noodles prepared at home, dried lotus seeds and longans were expensive and he was reluctant to eat them, so Xiao Dalang did not stock up on them.

Xiao Lian is now a rich man with hundreds of taels of silver in his pocket, so he is not willing to spend money to buy these good ingredients.

The snow on the road turned into water, and when the weather got cold, it froze into ice, so it was not easy to walk on this road.

They walked for almost two hours before arriving home, so they were all hungry and thirsty. It would be so comforting to have a hot bowl of sticky, soft, glutinous and sweet Laba porridge.

"My mother, second girl, you are so willing. There are lotus seeds and longan in the porridge." Mrs. Wu drank the porridge faster: "This is the first time I have eaten such good porridge, I have to drink two more bowls. "

Mrs. Xiao said with disgust: "You can't spend money so lavishly in the future."

But not wanting to lag behind, he also went in to serve the porridge.

Xiao Xiao saw that they had brought the three puppies at home.

The puppies are still very timid now. They came to a strange place and shivered while huddled together.

Xiao Xiao found a basket, put some straw in it, and placed it in the corner of the kitchen. He also soaked the leftover lunch in hot water and placed it in front of the basket: "Come and eat, you are here." A new home.”

"Remember to go to work after you've had enough to eat and drink. I don't mind if you guys mess around with rats, just mind your own business."

"You also need to be smarter. I'll be counting on you to take care of the home and nursing home from now on."

At this moment, Mrs. Wu walked in with an empty bowl and asked anxiously: "Is there more porridge?"

Seeing that the three puppies were eating well, I came over to take a look and gasped: "You damn girl, we haven't even had a few meals of white rice, but you let the dogs eat white rice."

Xiao Xiao couldn't deny that what the second aunt said was wrong, but there was nothing else to feed the puppy, so he couldn't starve the puppy, right?
Xiao Xiu was afraid that her sister and her second aunt would get into trouble, so she opened the lid of the pot and said with a smile, "Auntie, come and serve the eight-treasure porridge."

Then he asked considerately: "Isn't it difficult to walk on the way here?"

When Mrs. Wu thought that Xiao Xiu was going to marry Jiang Yu, she gave her face: "Well, we didn't dare to come in the morning because we were afraid that the road would be icy and slippery. Who knew the weather was so cold, and there would be some pain on the road in the afternoon. The ice in the place hasn’t even melted yet.”

Then he asked curiously: "How is Mr. Li injured? Do we need to go ask him how he is?"

Xiao Xiu knew that Jiang Yu and Mr. Li had something to say now, and of course he didn't want his second aunt to go in and disturb them now, so he smiled and said: "Auntie, don't worry, he can get up and take two steps now, and you can see him at dinner. "

Then Mrs. Xiao, who came recently, also gave Wu a sideways look: "Don't stretch your hands too far and your mouth too wide. A dog is nosy when it comes to mice. Even with so much food, I can't stop your mouth."

Just these days, when I didn't scold her, she became distracted and wanted to get involved in everything.

Didn't you see that the third girl was unhappy?

Everyone saw Jiang Yu looking for Mr. Li as soon as he entered the door. There must be something important, and she also wanted to join in and enjoy the fun.

But why did Mrs. Wu forget that this house was bought by the boss, so she wasn't afraid of being kicked out?

Furthermore, the two sons went out with their two granddaughters a few days ago. The two sons came back injured. Although they did not report the truth, it was definitely not good.

Didn't the boss already say that they were only slightly injured, but someone on the other side died?

In addition, the eldest daughter-in-law also gave her a delicate gold bracelet, which she could keep and wear or exchange for silver. I also knew that it couldn't be bought, but a trophy.

She actually prefers gold, but this style is too delicate and has little weight.

Finally, I went to a store that sold gold and silver jewelry and replaced the gold bracelets with a pair of heavy silver bracelets. I just regretted that it was not summer, and the silver bracelets were covered by cotton clothes and no one could see them.

She also listened to her old man's words very much. She was neither deaf nor dumb nor a householder. She had better not be too lenient, especially not to talk about her granddaughters' lavish spending, lest her boss would be unhappy and clamor for a separation.

Mrs. Xiao is very sensible. If she doesn't like something, she will pretend she didn't see it, or she will say in her heart: I don't want to separate the family, so I'll pretend I didn't see it.

She felt that there was probably no elder in the world who was as considerate to her daughter-in-law and treated her granddaughters as kindly as she was.

But I didn't expect that the second daughter-in-law also cared about food but not about beatings, and she just couldn't speak.

Xiao Xiao didn't expect that Madam Xiao would speak for him, and he instantly felt at ease. He leaned close to Madam Xiao and smiled sweetly: "Grandma, I'll serve the porridge for you."

Then asked Mrs. Xiao: "Grandma, do you know how to pickle bacon? The village has started killing New Year pigs now. I want to get more bacon. When spring comes next year, stew bamboo shoots with bacon or stew tofu with bacon will be a good dish. vegetable."

In fact, Xiao Xiao can do it, but curing bacon is very troublesome and she has to find a helper.

But Liu didn't know how, so she had to find someone else.

At this time, even Xiao Xiao didn't feel that there was a big chaos here, so he went to think about food.

Mrs. Wu rushed to say, "Oh, this is a good idea, third girl. My mother and I both know how to marinate meat. You can just buy it and leave the rest to us."

Mrs. Xiao also nodded: "Then you have to buy some salt and some spices."

As she gets older, she is afraid that there will be no food or food at home, not to mention, who can resist the temptation of pork?
Wu added cleverly: "In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't use spices."

Mrs. Xiao glared at her: "If you don't add spices, will it taste the same?"

Wu murmured aggrievedly: "This star anise is so similar to that grass, if you neglect it, someone will die."

"We don't know whether those unscrupulous businessmen will use bad or poisonous spices to fool us?"

Madam Xiao also remained silent.

Xiao Xiao sighed: "Second Aunt, you have a really good memory."

She estimated that the second aunt would never forget this reckless behavior in her lifetime.

Wu smiled proudly: "That's right, I have a very good memory. The first man, second son, and third son all follow me. I have a good memory and am good at reading. I will definitely pass the exam."

Xiao Dalang, who wanted to come in later to serve porridge, heard this and turned back quietly. He was embarrassed to hear his mother's boast.

After eating eight-treasure porridge, Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Wu went out to wander around the village. While ordering pork from the people who wanted to kill pigs, they also listened to the village gossip.

Not to mention, the city is famous for its food and drink, but when the restaurant is open, they are busy in the kitchen, so there is no time for leisure, not even time to listen to gossip.

Now when I return to the village and listen to them flattering me to go to the city to enjoy the blessings, and then listen to some parents in the village who are mean-spirited, do I suddenly feel that I am enjoying it too?
