Rebirth in 1980s: The Evil Aunt Rejects the Cannon Fodder Script

Chapter 37 Dried sweet potatoes
Liu Yunshuang felt unhappy. The old Xu family were all close relatives and they had various schemes.

These are neighbors, and they can be so sincere.

It's really annoying to compare people to each other!

"Mom, the third wife and the third wife are not here, what should we do?"

Xu Zhiqing also felt that she should stay. It would be bad to let people go back like this.

“It’s okay, they have a lot of food at home and it’s better than what we eat at home.

Let's steam some rice and send it to them. "

The little girl's eyes lit up and she immediately went to the kitchen.

Rice is a fine grain after all. Even if it is grown here, no one would be willing to eat it every time.

Not to mention that the output was not high, what was distributed was simply not enough for the whole family to eat.

Moreover, most people will replace it with whole grains, which can make a lot more.

That is to say, just to have enough food and clothing, save a few pounds, and eat it once during the Chinese New Year, that is also good.

Some families don’t even eat refined grains even during the Chinese New Year.

Looking at the thatched sheds rising here, she also felt a sense of accomplishment.

At present, the food is enough to last for a while, and then the firewood is stored.

You can get through the period of flooding.

Later, we can plant a few more vegetables to ensure our winter rations.

After the rice was steamed, Xu Zhiqing scooped out a small porcelain basin and sent it to the backyard.

Liu Yunshuang picked and picked and finally found a handful of tender sweet potato leaves.

After blanching in boiling water, sprinkle with seasonings and serve cold.

Next year, I must grow more vegetables at home.

When I was at Lao Xu's house, I was told to grow grain, not vegetables.

However, the vegetables have been served well, but there is a lot of harvest.

If you can’t eat it, you can dry it in the sun and keep it for winter.

Or make it into pickles, which can be stored for a long time.

"Mom, look, my eldest sister gave away all the rice. This little bit is not enough for us to eat~"

Xu Zhili looked at the rice on the dinner table, feeling a little unhappy.

Xu Zhiqing also came back and happened to hear what he said.

“How can we have so much food at home?

Soak these in some rice soup, but it's not enough.

I'll give you half of mine, okay. "

Liu Yunshuang has never heard her eldest daughter refute others like this. In the past, it was others who did the talking, and she agreed.

This change, mixed with the tone of lecturing her brother, she found quite interesting.

"No, don't I think there is not enough food? We have all worked today."

Xu Zhili's voice became much softer, and he seemed to understand that things in his family were not easy.

"Second brother, I didn't mean to say that to you.

The Third Grandpa and the Third Grandma were so old, but they still climbed up and down to help us.

Moreover, the thatch on top belongs to other people as well.

The helper is still setting up things, but if we still don’t say anything, will people feel comfortable? "

She didn't expect that her eldest daughter, only ten years old, would be so transparent.

If he hadn't been stupid in his previous life, he would have been a powerful person.

"Your eldest sister is right, helping us is a matter of affection, but not helping us is a duty.

Since we have helped, we should give the best to others.

If you eat something in one bite and fuss over it again, it will make people feel cold. "

Xu Zhili lowered his head, he already knew.

"Okay, stop talking so much, let's eat quickly."

Children won't be really angry. Although they have to make rice soup, it is still fine food.

When I was at Lao Xu's house, I might not be able to eat it just once a year.

There are also cold sweet potato leaves, which is naturally a pleasure.

Big and strong food is not prepared for it alone. Just take some cornmeal and wash it with boiling rice soup.

The family was enjoying themselves happily, and Xu Zhiyi learned to eat by himself.

It's okay in summer, even if it gets on clothes, it dries quickly after washing.

After eating, she was not idle.

Gather the firewood and put it in the shed.

I have been making fire for the past two days, and I haven’t done much fussing.

I had taken wicker sticks before and tied them up one by one. It is convenient now.

A lot of sweet potatoes came out, and she was going to make them into dried sweet potatoes. The sun has been particularly good these two days.

The ones dug out before are also a little wilted in the cellar.

Simply take them out.

It was inconvenient for Xu Zhili to sit down, so he brought a basin over, placed it on the stool, and washed the sweet potatoes.

The large tank next to it is filled with warm water.

After washing them, Liu Yunshuang was responsible for peeling them.

Xu Zhiqing cut the peeled sweet potatoes into four quarters.

Take it to the kitchen to wash it. This process is more, but the storage time is longer.

Many tools at home are inconvenient. The paring knife, curtain, and grate are all borrowed from the backyard.

It just so happened that the dried sweet potatoes were ready, so I gave some to the third master and the third wife to try.

The last time I went to the supply and marketing cooperative, I didn't buy these things, mainly because I couldn't get them.

When I am fifteen, I will go to Qingyang Town to go to the market and get all these things.

After the sweet potatoes are steamed, put them on the curtain and take them to the yard to dry.

After it cools down, cut it into smaller pieces and dry it in the sun.

While I was busy, Xu Zhinian and Xu Zhixin came.

Liu Yunshuang still treats the two children differently, especially Xu Zhinian.

"Come in quickly, why are you here?"

Xu Zhixin took the small basket inside and opened the scarf on it.

"Double beans, where did this come from?"

Even for ordinary people, it is rare to eat.

Because no one grows it, it seems very precious.

"Second Aunt, we went to work in Nandi this morning.

I don’t know who mixed in a few beans when cooking the oil sunflower.

There are three seedlings over there, which bear a lot of beans. We will bring them to you. "

"Give me?"

Liu Yunshuang was quite surprised by what he said.

Even in Lao Xu's house, she didn't have much intimacy with these two nieces!

"Yes, if we take it back, we won't be able to eat it in the end. We might as well take it over and give it to Zhiyi."

Xu Zhixin pursed her lips, looking unhappy.

"How come? This is not a small amount. It can at least fry half a plate. I can't deny you all your milk."

Xu Zhinian also rolled his eyes, obviously very dissatisfied with Mrs. Xu.

“Absolutely none of us, Second Aunt, you don’t know.

Since you took Zhiqing away, my grandma asked me to stay and help her cook.

My mother didn't agree and was afraid that I would be beaten too, so she had a problem with me.

Later, I had no choice but to leave my sister behind.

As a result, she boiled an egg for Zhili, and you know what happened next. "

Liu Yunshuang nodded. Zhinian was beaten, but she went over to make trouble.

"Then you don't have anyone behind your back?"

"There is no one left, mainly because neither of us wants to serve her anymore, who else can she keep?"
You don’t know, they didn’t do anything but pointed at us.

When cooking, I asked my sister-in-law to light a fire, but she was unwilling and would curse. "
