marriage is natural

Chapter 477

It was almost 10:30 when He Wei's family returned to Wenxin Garden.

Hemu took out a large bag of wild vegetables dug from the tomb-sweeping in Hejiabu two days ago from the refrigerator freezer, and said to her daughter who came to help her: "Let's keep it simple at noon and eat dumplings. Mom made a lot of shepherd's purse dumplings the day before yesterday." It’s in quick freezing, you take care of these wild vegetables, chop some bamboo shoots, and mix some cold dishes with dumplings.”

Speaking of this, he paused, looked at the living room with his head, and asked his daughter uncertainly: "Do you think Ah Qing would mind the wild vegetables on the table at noon? If I had known that I had come back from Hejiabu yesterday, I should have gone there first." The meat from the supermarket is not as fresh as the meat that was killed alive, so I didn't go..."

He Wei was sorting Malan heads in front of the sink. Hearing this, she smiled and said, "No way, when he was in the hospital, he asked me what the wild vegetables looked like, and asked me to take him to dig them when I was free... "

There was a sudden pause, parents didn't know about her dating with He Qingdong yet, so they stopped quickly and agreed that he would lead the battle.Changing the subject casually: "By the way, Mom, you and Dad are going to Hejiabu, auntie and the others didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"

"What can we do? No matter how ugly the words are, we have already scolded us. If there are too many lice, it doesn't matter if there are too many debts. Let her scold her." Hemu snorted.In fact, it was more than just scolding badly, this trip back to Hejiabu might see blood.If it wasn't for the call from the police station to tell the elder sister-in-law to go there, the elder sister-in-law would block the door with a kitchen knife and curse, insisting on an explanation from the two of them, otherwise she would not be allowed to go home.He Mu was really annoyed and laughed.statement?He Meiqin did such a nasty thing, but she still needs to explain it herself?What the hell is this!

But these bad things, Hemu didn't plan to tell her daughter, so as not to worry her in the capital, she just picked some unimportant things to chatter: "Your grandma has also changed ways to persuade her several times, your father and I They always say they can't handle it. Tsk, I really think our family is easy to bully. This time, I didn't pick up anything high and put it down lightly. He Meiqin should be taught a lesson. According to me, what complaints should be withdrawn? Ah, let the court decide what to do, let's see if she dares to act like this in the future, what kind of virtue!..."

He Wei knew her mother's typical sharp mouth and bean curd heart.It really made her look at He Meiqin in jail, even if she said "he deserves to suffer and be taught a lesson", she would definitely feel uncomfortable in her heart.

After all, her father and uncle are brothers, broken bones and tendons, unable to write two words in one stroke.He Meiqin's performance was certainly disappointing, but considering it was her first offense, she didn't go to the point of murder and arson. The torment in the detention center these days, if she is willing to repent, she has learned a lesson.And if you are not willing to repent, even if you go through the prison, it will still be a disaster if you come out.The headaches are the uncle and the uncle, who were wronged when they were young, and how difficult it is to break up when they grow up!

So she comforted her mother: "Mom, you don't have to be angry about sister Meiqin. If you get too angry, it's not because you are hurting your own health? Our family will do what we want to do. As for the future, what will happen to sister Meiqin, won't my aunt worry about it?" ? It’s enough for you to worry about me and my brother.”

Hemu was so happy being coaxed by her daughter: "No way! I can't even worry about your brother and sister's affairs. There is no foreign time to care whether He Meiqin is rotten or a pillar."

While speaking, he raised the knife and swiftly chopped half of the bamboo shoots into cubes.

He Wei straightened Malan's head, put it in the washing basket and passed through the clear water several times.

According to her mother, when it was dug, it had just rained, and the leaves were clean, and it was dug on the mountain, so there was no pollution.

The washed Malan head was given to her mother to blanch, and she continued to work on the grass seeds.

The southern scientific name of grass seed is milk vetch. The root, whole plant and seeds can be used as medicine.Therefore, every year after the spring thunder, especially during the period around the Qingming Festival, Caozinan, shepherd's purse, and Malantou are also known as the "most down-to-earth" three types of wild vegetables in Qingshi, and they enter thousands of households in a low-key manner. kitchen.

The same goes for the He family.During this period of time, Hemu would drag Hefu up and down the mountain to dig wild vegetables.In the early years, it was mainly to save expenses. Now that the living conditions are better, it is a new idea, and it is a habit accumulated over the years.Every Qingming, if you don't eat wild vegetables for a few days, you will feel bad.

The hills near Qingshi are almost covered by Hemu, where the shepherd's purse is the most tender, where there are many Malan heads, and where there are wild mountain bamboo shoots... Go out for a day, and often come back with big bags, muddy and dewy.If you can't finish eating on the same day, tie the mouth of the bag tightly with a plastic bag and put it in the refrigerator to refrigerate. It will still be fresh and tender after a few days.

But usually not for that long.

Needless to say, shepherd's purse is the best partner for dumplings, moxa dumplings, and fried rice cakes.Dumplings and moxa dumplings are made at one time, steamed, cooled thoroughly and then frozen.If you want to eat it, take it out and heat it up, it is still full of flavor.Then there is the famous fried rice cake with shepherd's purse. Once it is out of the pot, the daughter's godmother's house, the son's master's house, and the fruit shop owner's house who often come and go, occasionally give it to the old man who has a good relationship upstairs and downstairs. Send two plates.The rest is homemade. If you have a small amount, you can try something new, and if you have a large amount, you will be addicted.

Malantou is usually used for cooking.After blanching, cut it into pieces, and mix it with the same blanched bamboo shoots and dried tofu in a hot oil pan. It is a delicious and refreshing meal.Malantou is very popular among the locals because of its heat-clearing, detoxifying, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory effects.Even if you can't go to the suburbs to pick it, you will buy two catties at the farmer's market and try it.Toothache got angry, eating some Malantou immediately healed without medicine.

I don’t know how Caozi Nanbie’s family eats it, but Hemu likes to use it to cook glutinous rice.

After cleaning and clearing the grass seeds, chop them into fine pieces, and cook salty glutinous rice with diced bacon and fresh bamboo shoots.It is delicious and does not get angry, clears away heat and detoxifies.

But even though it was just dumplings and wild vegetables, the two of them were busy for an hour from beginning to end.

Just after eleven o'clock, the fragrant glutinous rice was steamed, the moxa dumplings stuffed with shepherd's purse and shredded pork with Qingming characteristics were out of the pan, and the soup dumplings with shepherd's purse and shiitake mushrooms were ready, and five side dishes were served on the table in turn: cold salad Malan head, stewed bamboo shoot slices, tofu preserved eggs, black fungus with pepper and garlic, and chicken feet with pickled peppers made in the refrigerator early in the morning.

"Dinner is ready!" He Mu brought the bowls and chopsticks to the table, and greeted the men chattering happily in the living room.

Father He was pulling He Qingdong to talk about tea.Although he doesn't pay much attention to tobacco, wine and tea, but who doesn't like good things?Touching the door-to-door gifts brought by He Qingdong one by one, he said happily and embarrassedly: "These are not cheap, are they? I think it's better to put them away and wait for your uncle and aunt to come back and give them a drink. I have a big leaf It’s good to drink, it’s a waste for me to drink such a tender bud tip.”

How could He Qingdong bring it back, and while his mother-in-law greeted him for dinner, he hurriedly said: "Uncle, you are too polite, this food is meant for people to drink, there is no waste or waste. Look, I come to your house to eat and live, you If I don't even accept such a small thing, how can I have the nerve to stay?"

"How can this be such a small thing, you see that you brought so much..." Father He rubbed his hands, really embarrassed.

He Qingdong came this time, in addition to a set of change of clothes, a large 32-inch suitcase stuffed full of cigarettes, wine and tea looted from Mr. He, and skin care products that Zhou Yuele bought for Hemu's age, there is also a This flower was purchased from an online auction at a high price and was going to be given to my future brother-in-law. I just don’t know if he will appreciate it or not.

He Wei was embarrassed when she saw him taking his pajamas on the train. At first, he thought that he was going out with such a big suitcase because he was going to stay in Qingshi for a few more days. How could he know that changing clothes only took up Mimi's small area? In one corner, the rest were all door-to-door gifts for her family.

A certain person smiled disapprovingly, and quickly stole a kiss on her face while the future brother-in-law was washing up outside.

So this matter, before arriving home, only He Wei knows.

He Mu didn't know how much the tobacco, wine and tea on the coffee table were worth. Hearing what He Qingdong said, she hurried over to persuade her: "Oh, what are you doing pushing around? Wash your hands and eat. Ah Qing, there is not much time at noon , I didn’t go shopping for vegetables, they were all ready-made at home, easy to eat. In the afternoon, I asked someone to buy a home-raised chicken, and I will make chicken soup for you. There will be another soil turtle tomorrow, which is Weiwei’s father. I agreed with others that the hem of the skirt is the best for repairing your body. I heard Weiwei say that your injury needs to be strengthened, and you still need to rest. After eating, go to the room to rest for a while, and we will rectify it in the evening."

Young Master He was flattered by the ardent exhortations from the future mother-in-law, and hurriedly said: "Auntie, you have worked hard, I can eat anything, I am not picky."

He Xidong grinds his teeth and rolls his eyes.My heart said yes, I am not picky eaters, the most beautiful sister in our family has been taken into the nest by you, so naturally I am not picky eaters...

Before he finished rolling his eyes, Hemu slapped the back of his head: "What are you doing stupidly? Why don't you take out the hot coconut milk, where is your usual cleverness?" He Qingdong said: "Weiwei said that the doctor told you not to drink alcohol until the injury is fully healed, so I won't ask you to drink it, but it's okay to drink some coconut milk."

He Xidong felt sour in his heart.Mother, I'm your son!This man is here to recruit your son-in-law, he has bad intentions!Unpredictable!Don't be fooled!
But having said that, the door-to-door gift prepared by this guy is really satisfactory.Not to mention the expensive items given to parents, just the treasure appraisal album given to him, I couldn't stop looking through it.

As expected of being a soldier, the trick of knowing yourself, knowing your enemy, and winning every battle is masterful!Knowing that his father likes it, knowing that his mother has become obsessed with maintenance in recent years, knowing that he likes antique treasures... The call for no war has not officially sounded, and the internal forces have almost been disintegrated.

……

He Qingdong's first wild vegetable feast was at the future mother-in-law's house, and his appetite was surprisingly good.

He finished the [-] shepherd's purse dumplings with soup and the grass-seed Nanglutinous rice balls pinched for him by Hemu; a fist-sized Aiqing glutinous rice ball with hemp heart stuffing and a half-adult rice ball that Hefu gave him The palm-sized Ai Qing dumplings filled with shepherd's purse and meat, as well as the fragrant and refreshing side dishes and a bottle of warm coconut juice, made He Wei worry that he would be full.

Although He Mu was also quite surprised, but thinking about He Qingdong's height and shape, such a burly young man should not eat too much, and he just got out of the hospital after being injured, shouldn't he eat more?So he got up and wanted to add another bowl of dumplings for him, but He Wei stopped him: "Mom, don't add more for him, the grass seed rice balls are made of glutinous rice, and the glutinous rice dumplings are also mixed with glutinous rice flour, if you eat too much, you won't be able to melt it. What's more, his injury is not healed, glutinous rice should be eaten less, it is easy to get hair."

He Qingdong nodded kindly: "Wei Wei is right, and I am indeed very full, I can't add any more, Auntie, please sit down and eat."

He Mu subconsciously returned to her seat, picked up a green dumpling and bit it, chewed a few mouthfuls, and then recalled: Why did the girl just say so strangely?Without even asking, she just held herself back and refused to let Tim. Is she and Ah Qing that familiar?

After thinking about it like this, and then looking at the interaction between the daughter and the eldest nephew of the He family at the dinner table, He Mu always felt that he was not only familiar, but also a little... How do you say that word?intimate?close?

Hiss——Hemu took a deep breath, and seemed to have discovered some great secret...

In the second half of the meal, He Mu could barely eat the dumplings, mechanically poking her chopsticks to finish eating the dumplings in the bowl, seeing that everyone had finished eating, she thought and thought, gritted her teeth, and turned her head to call out to her daughter: "Weiwei, you Come with Mom to the kitchen."

In fact, even if He Mu didn't shout, He Wei would go to the kitchen to help clean up the dishes.

It's just this shout, but He Wei hasn't noticed anything yet. The young master He, who has keen observation skills, knows in his heart that his mother-in-law has already seen something. Xiao Nizi felt aggrieved, so she solemnly said to Father He and Mother He: "Uncle, Auntie, I have something to discuss with you, why don't we sit in the living room and talk?"

While getting up, he pinched the back of Xiaonizi's hand comfortingly, signaling her not to worry, everything is his.

This scene happened to be seen by He Mu, and the shock in her heart was even worse.If it was just a guess just now, then now, she is [-]% sure: there is absolutely something between her daughter and the eldest nephew of the He family.

He Xidong was still gnawing on the chicken feet, and almost choked on hearing the words, so why don't you just confess before the meal is digested?Is it too impatient?
Only He's father was still not in the situation, and happily followed He Qingdong to the living room: "Just say what you want, and be polite to us."

He Mu glared at her husband, her heart was in a mess, thinking about how she would react if what she said was true for a while?Agree or disagree?oops!What do you disagree with?How old is my daughter, it's too early to think about this kind of thing.Also, didn't Ah Qing already have a date?She remembered hearing him talk about it two or three years ago, and said that she was going to talk about marriage...

Thinking of this incident, He Mu's face suddenly darkened, and her eyes towards He Qingdong were not so friendly.If you have a date, you come to provoke your daughter, not to mention other things, this attitude alone is not enough!Absolutely not!

So, He Qingdong began with a deep groan: "Uncle and aunt, Weiwei and I..."

Hemu couldn't help shouting: "I object!"

Father He, who was taken aback, said, "..."

You object before people say anything, why are you objecting?
He Xidong: "..." Poof!Mom is mighty!

Just as He Wei carried a stack of bowls to the sink, when she heard the three words "Niang Gao Octave", she shook her hand and knocked over the stack of bowls.
