Madam, go home and farm

Chapter 57 Thick-skinned
At noon on the first day and the last day, a more formal lunch was prepared, so Puhuang returned after delivering the herbal tea. When passing by Hong's house, he was a little surprised that he didn't see Mrs. Wu and Xiaomei Hong.

Based on her understanding of their mother and daughter, her homestead started construction, would they not go to trouble? Thinking about it was a little impossible. After a mental test, no one was there, only Hong Haobao and Xia Shi were still lying on the bed. fell asleep, while Chen silently led the two children to do embroidery work.

Did you go to the county seat?Pu Huang guessed that it might have something to do with the housekeeper Nalu yesterday, but it has nothing to do with her. The first day is a more important day, so it's better if no one comes to destroy it, so as not to be unlucky.But this Chen family became more gloomy, and even agreed with Hong Haoping to help dig the foundation, Puhuang couldn't understand this second younger sibling.

Shaking his head, Pu Huang felt that he was thinking too much, and there were still a lot of things to be busy at home.

Puhuang's cooking skills are not good, and of course they are not so bad that they can't eat them. For rural people, unless the family has more conditions, the general family's cooking skills are very low. Oil can be considered delicious.

When he got home, Hong Haoan had already folded a small pot of green beans. Puhuang looked at it and thought it was almost done, so he asked him to cut half a pumpkin.And she herself started to take out the three-layer meat that was used for worship just now, and it was going to be cooked with green beans, chicken and winter melon, and stir-fried pumpkin slices and sweet potato leaves were four dishes.

Looking at the existing materials, they were not very suitable for making soup. After searching, I finally found the fungus she had picked from the mountains. It's ready, the fungus lean meat soup, the taste is not bad, Puhuang can't help but miss the seaweed, it tastes good, a little bit can cook a big pot, it's easy, but it's a pity that this place doesn't sell it.

The kitchen is not very big, but Puhuang still had two stoves provided by people, and the two pots can be cooked together. Even if you need to take a bath and wash your hair, the water can be boiled much faster.

I went to pick up two more loads of water, and when I came back, I saw Mrs. Xu walking in front with a basket, "Mother."

After Mrs. Yang gave birth, Mrs. Xu was so busy that she lost weight several times without the help of her daughter-in-law.Puhuang's own schedule is also tight, and he doesn't have much time to help.

"Your house is under construction today, and I can't help you much. You can just take these eggs and add vegetables." When Puhuang put down the bucket, Xu stuffed the basket into her hands.

"Godmother, there's no need for that. We have things at home, and my aunt also brought a lot." Pu Huang just refused to pick it up.

Mrs. Xu blamed: "Your aunt is an aunt, can you be counted as a godmother like me? I feel guilty enough for not being able to help you. Besides, there is no shortage of eggs. The few eggs raised at home recently They all started laying eggs."

Pu Huang thought about it, and then accepted it, "Well, if the godmother needs help with anything, just call out, I have nothing else, but I have a lot of strength." Xu Shi is still good to them, so she has great strength I didn't hide it either.

"Pay more attention to your own body, don't push yourself, you haven't had a baby yet." With a word from Xu, Pu Huang choked on it.

have a baby?Pu Huang didn't even think about it, she didn't know how to return to Xu's for a while, so she just smiled silly.

Mrs. Xu thought Puhuang was shy and didn't say anything more. Instead, she said to Hong Hao'an who was peeling the pumpkin: "Hao'an, you have to tell your wife to pay more attention to her body."

"Godmother, I understand." Hong Hao'an replied with a light smile, without saying anything, as long as the topic of the child could not be brought up, he would not bring it up.

After sending Mrs. Xu away, the two didn't continue to talk about it. Hong Hao'an's knife skills are very good, so I left all the vegetables to him.Puhuang began to wash the pots, preparing a large pot for cooking and another for soup. The weather is not cold, so it doesn't matter if the food is cold.

After estimating the time, Puhuang planned to cook first, and when it was done, it would be stuffed in the pot with a layer of crispy rice, so that the rice would be delicious enough.

Because there is only one fish, which is not big enough for a big man to eat, Puhuang can only be put in a bucket filled with well water to cool, and eaten at night.

The meal time is at noon, so when Carpenter Wang brought people over, Puhuang had already set up two tables at the door. Due to the location of the room, at noon, the sunlight would move out inch by inch, and the shadows would just be able to There is room for two tables.

There were ten people in total, so the two tables were not enough to sit. However, when he saw the food on the table, Carpenter Wang still felt very satisfied. , much better than those stingy people.

Liu Hong Haoan greeted Wang Carpenter and the craftsmen, and Puhuang went to the homestead to see the progress. He went around and was quite satisfied. At this speed, it is estimated that it will be completely finished in three or four days, and the needed stones will be delivered. Come here and start laying the foundations.

There are indeed many small stones in this wasteland. Fortunately, the bottom layer is not a huge rock or the like, otherwise the problem will be serious. The soil dug out is not transported away immediately, but thrown in the area that is divided into a vegetable garden. The soil may be It is not suitable for planting, and it is not good for making mud bricks, but it is still possible to build a low wall for a vegetable garden or something.

She put away the wooden bucket and pottery bowl filled with water. She drank all the water in it. Maybe she burned another bucket. With so many people, one bucket might not be enough to drink.

Passing by Hong's house again, Puhuang caught a glimpse of Hong Haoping squatting on the edge of the patio eating with a bowl, seeing that he didn't move his chopsticks much, he should be drinking porridge. At that time, he was also so harsh, "Second brother, why didn't you go to eat at your elder brother's place? Do you think that the food I cook is not delicious?"

"No, no, no, sister-in-law, you misunderstood, I, I..." Hong Haoping straightened up, holding the bowl, watching Puhuang stammering, like a child who has done something wrong.

"Since you don't dislike it, then follow me to have dinner. Don't be afraid of not being enough. I have prepared well, and I am afraid that I won't be able to finish eating." Pu Huang said with a smile.

At this time, Mrs. Chen came out of the wing room, glanced at Hong Haoping, a flash of distress flashed in her eyes, and then said to Puhuang with a flat face: "Sister-in-law, it's not that you don't think you're doing well, it's just that you don't do things well." He went over to eat, he was afraid that you would not have enough to eat."

Pu Huang immediately realized that during the meal, Xia Shi and Hong Haobao were not seen in the room, so how dare they all go to her place?This time is really good!

Pu Huang had an idea in his mind, so he went back without saying anything, and sure enough, he saw Mrs. Xia holding a large bowl, and Hong Haobao occupied a table with Hong Haobao, enjoying themselves.

Seeing Puhuang came back, Mrs. Xia put down the bowl and complained to Puhuang: "Sister-in-law, what's the matter with you, the dishes you cook are so small, how can people be full, go fry two more." I was already hungry after a day of work, and I ate fast. When Xia Shi and the others came, more than half of the food on the table they were sitting on was gone, and these craftsmen were sincere and gave it to them.

Pu Huang sneered, "I mean fourth brother and sister, I'm not your servant girl, I'm someone you call around, and you don't like me to come to my house for free, is there such a person?"

Hong Haobao finished the food in the bowl in two or three mouthfuls, put down the bowl, wiped his mouth, and said to Hong Haoan with a grinning face: "Brother, thank you for your hospitality today, chicken and winter melon are good, more meat would be nice It's gone." With that said, he walked away slowly without even giving Puhuang a look.

Hearing what Pu Huang said, Xia continued to put the rice in his mouth, and replied: "Sister-in-law, I have two bodies now, one eats and two feeds, you won't be so stingy, and you will satisfy your unborn nephew's gluttony." Don’t even want to part with it? Hmph, it’s just some meat, what’s so rare about it.”

Saying that, he put down the bowl and chopsticks like Hong Haobao, and left without looking back.

Pu Huang looked at the two shameless people, and didn't know how to deal with them for a while. Would it be like this every day in the future?

Seeing people at another table pour vegetable soup on the rice, Pu Huang signaled Hong Hao'an to add more vegetables, telling them not to feel restrained and dare not let go of eating because of Hong Haobao Xia's family.

There are a lot of cattail vegetables, and besides those on the table, a lot of them are left in case there is not enough. It seems that it is right to prepare more.

I took a big bowl, filled a bowl of rice, picked up a lot of each dish, and added a large bowl of fungus and lean meat soup. Then Puhuang took it to Hong's house. Hong Haoping helped her, but didn't mention it. She is not the kind of person who likes to owe others wages, even though Mrs. Chen didn't say anything, she will definitely be dissatisfied.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Puhuang heard Xia family mocking Chen family inside, "I said, second sister-in-law, you are in charge of the kitchen, and you are reluctant to cook some dry rice. You are so stingy, we won't even lose our share today." Let's cook, don't think that you can go up to the sky without your parents."

"I'm talking about the fourth younger siblings. You can't stop your mouth after eating so many delicious foods at Big Brother's. You really think that sister-in-law is so easy to take advantage of. You should be careful." Chen's is not that good either. Offended, he immediately fought back.

"What's the matter, the fourth brother and sister are not full after eating so much at my place, want to grab the bowl of the second brother and sister? Tell me earlier, if you tell me that you are not full, then I will not let you go." Pu Holding two large bowls full of them, Huang stepped steadily into the threshold.

When Mrs. Xia saw Puhuang, then looked at the two sea bowls in her hand, she couldn't help but swallowed. She was still a little guilty after eating something from someone else's house, so she snorted, walked away with her head held high up.

"Sister-in-law, come here as soon as you come, why are you bringing these?" Chen said politely, but stood still.

Pu Huang ignored Chen Shi, knowing the entanglement in her heart, and brought two new big bowls from the kitchen, "Second brother must not be full, don't do this next time." The bowl is gone.

Chen looked at Puhuang's back with a complicated expression, and stood there blankly for a moment.

When Hong Haoping came back from feeding the pigs, he saw his wife standing there blankly, and couldn't help being surprised, "My lady, what's the matter?"

Chen Shi pursed her lips, pointed to the two large bowls on the edge of the stove, "Sister-in-law brought it, you should eat it soon." Her tone was a little low.

Hong Haoping touched his head, hehe said: "Lady, let's eat together."
