Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 196

After the noodles were reconciled, the mother-in-law asked someone to light a fire under the griddle, first wiped the griddle with oil dipped in oil, then took a spoonful of batter and put it on the griddle, and immediately Spread the batter evenly on the pan with a bamboo batch, the batter changed color in a blink of an eye, and gave off a tempting aroma. It turned out that the pancakes were already cooked, so they uncovered them and put them aside to fry the next one.

Ning Wan looked at a few, then took the bamboo batch with a smile and said, "Mother-in-law, let me try it."

"That's fine, but you have to be quick, otherwise the pancakes will be mushy."

Ning Wan thought it was easy, but it was different when she made it by herself. It was not easy to spread the batter evenly into a large sheet with a bamboo spatula. The first few sheets were really mushy, and then it gradually got better.

Lu Tieshi rolled up those mushy pancakes and said, "I like mushy pancakes the most, why not eat a few while they are still hot!"

Mrs. Wu laughed, "There is pork head meat at home, I'll roll it for you to eat." She cut the pork head meat into large slices, rolled it with pancakes and handed it to her son, but told Ning Wan, "This way of eating is from our hometown. People’s favorite, Tie Shi and his father also love to eat it. There are also people who roll beef, shredded pork, and scallions in pancakes. When the poor have nothing, they roll a few scallions. My father and I used to eat it. .”

Ning Wan had already mastered the cooking at this time, so she said: "It's really convenient, and it can be served with a lot of dishes. We will fry two side dishes later, cut two plates of meat, and cook a soup. It will be a very rich meal. It's lunch..." Without saying a word, Tie Shi stuffed the pancake into her mouth, "Try it."

When Ning Wan saw Tie Shi in front of her mother-in-law, she was intimate with herself without avoiding suspicion. She was afraid that her mother-in-law would not be happy to see her. She had been peeking at Mrs. Wu since he was eating mushy pancakes, but she saw that she was not doing well, and she really wanted to try it too. He tasted the newly made pancakes, so he took a bite out of his hand, and praised: "It's really delicious!" But he didn't want to neglect his mother-in-law, and asked with a smile: "Grandma, what do you like to roll? Let Tieshi roll it for you one."

Mrs. Wu waved her hand and said, "When I was young, I loved to eat shredded pork. Now I can't eat meat, and I don't eat too many pancakes. I don't need to roll anything."

Ning Wan said to Tie Shi, "How about wrapping the pralines we brought in pancakes for your mother-in-law to try?"

Tieshi laughed, "Where can I find rolled sugar?"

Mrs. Wu said: "You don't know, there are really rolls of sugar. Some children like to eat sweets, so they roll some sugar."

Ning Wan smiled smugly, "You see what I said is not bad."

While chatting and laughing, a pot of batter turned into a stack of pancakes. Mrs. Wu said: "Pancakes have another advantage. They can be kept for a long time without breaking. I heard that when Meng Jiangnu went to the foot of the Great Wall to find her husband, she brought pancakes. When Tie Shi and his father go out, I often make pancakes for them.” As he said, he folded the paper-thin pancakes one by one, and it turned out that a pancake spread out was about half the size of the table. Well, as long as the palm is big, it will be much more convenient to pick it up.

What they ate at noon that day was pancakes, Ning Wan cooked a few more dishes, and then Tieshi and Tie Shi tried to roll all kinds of things into pancakes to eat, it was really fun to eat and play.

Everyone was having fun at first, but Mrs. Wu suddenly sighed and said, "It's been many years since there was such a lively scene, and it was still when there was no iron and stone..." The words stopped here, and then she shed tears and choked up.

Although Ning Wan had just married, she could understand that when there was no Tie Shi, her father-in-law was still at home, and Tie Shi's brother, who had the same father and mother, was still alive, so the house was naturally lively.Just now, mother-in-law mentioned her father-in-law a few times, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally, and she and Tie Shi pretended not to hear it, but now they can't get around it.

Tie Shi fell silent immediately, and Ning Wan hurriedly took the handkerchief to her mother-in-law, "It's the worst thing to shed tears when it's Chinese New Year. Don't think about the past anymore. How nice it is to have fun with us now."

What's the use of bringing up decades-old things now?In addition to making everyone unhappy!Ning Wan couldn't directly say that her mother-in-law was wrong, but she really felt that her mother-in-law was too disappointing.After coaxing for a long time, the mother-in-law finally stopped, and the unhappiness just now seemed to be over.

But everyone was disappointed, and no matter how hard they were, they couldn't restore the original laughter.After a while, the mother-in-law said sleepily, "Go back to your room." Ning Wan walked out of the main room and quietly asked Tie Shi, "Did mother-in-law also be sad during the Chinese New Year?"

"She will cry every New Year. This year has been much better than previous years. At least we have had a few days of happiness." Lu Tieshi took Ning Wan's hand, "Don't worry, my mother has always been like this. It will be better when someone is sent over there to pick us up."

"When will they send someone to pick up my mother-in-law and go to Anpingwei?"

"Sometimes it's earlier, but usually it's not until thirty, and the family still eats together for reunion dinner."

It turned out that the Lu family only had a reunion dinner together on New Year's Eve!Ning Wan could only say: "Fortunately, I'll be thirty in two days."

Mrs. Wu cried a lot during the festival, and hid in the room to rest that night, and she was a little embarrassing when she had dinner the next morning.She was used to crying only to her son before, but now that she has a daughter-in-law, she also feels ashamed.

Ning Wan still treats her as before. She has heard countless people talk about Mrs. Wu's faults. Even if Mrs. Zhou pushed her, it cannot be completely false. Her mother-in-law really did not do well in many things.

But for Tieshi, Ning Wan will get along well with her mother-in-law, not to mention that her mother-in-law is not a difficult person to get along with, and she knows that Mrs. Wu's life is not long, so she has more sympathy for her and is willing to let her a little more.

Seeing her mother-in-law sitting around all day with nothing to do, Ning Wan felt that it would be better to let her do something, so as not to be easy to think about her father-in-law all the time and hurt her heart.So after breakfast, I took out the red paper, "Grandma, let's cut some window grilles if we have nothing to do, it's beautiful and festive."

I thought my mother-in-law would not, but she took a piece of red paper and quickly cut out a big double happiness. There are many flowers and plants in the strokes of the character "Xi", but Ning Wan was startled and cried out, "Grandma, your hands are amazing." What a coincidence!"

"This pair of happy characters is the easiest. No matter it is very common in door curtains, curtains, and handkerchiefs, it is often painted in patterns, and when we get married there, we need to paste a big one. Back then..."

Ning Wan was afraid that she would recall what happened when she married her father-in-law again, so she hurriedly handed the red paper to Tie Shi, "My mother-in-law and I both cut it out, so you can try cutting one too."

Lu Tieshi understood what Wan'er meant, so he took it with a smile and said, "I see that you cut it so well, and I'm a little tempted." He cut with the scissors for a while, and cut out a strange thing. Madam Wu looked at it and kept saying: "It doesn't look like anything!" Ning Wan even wanted to guess and said: "It should be a horse, but the tail doesn't look like it at all, it should be changed."

The mother-in-law also came to her senses, "Sure enough, it looks like a horse at first glance, but not only the tail, but also the head, so it needs to be changed."

Under the command of the two of them, Lu Tieshi changed and changed again and again. With one scissors on the left and one scissors on the right, a horse as big as a bowl was changed to the size of an egg, and it looked even less like a horse.Ning Wan laughed so hard that she collapsed on the kang, "Oh, my stomach hurts so much!"

Mrs. Wu also laughed for a long time, but she said for her son: "I don't blame you, how have you ever moved the scissors? It's not as good as we often draw flowers."

Lu Tieshi put down the scissors, "You guys should cut it, I'll just watch it." Then he started gossiping, "Mom, you are about the same age as your mother-in-law, so you should smile like your mother-in-law and look young. "

"I'm several years older than your mother-in-law!"

"Actually, it's not two years younger." Ning Wan and Tie Shi had discussed it, so they sang together, "In the past, my family was very poor and was bullied, and my mother didn't smile much every day. Later we Trying to make money, and no longer giving in to those who bully us, life at home will get better and better. Now that there is no shortage of food and clothing, my mother is very content, and she is happy all day long, everyone said She's younger than she used to be."

Although the mother-in-law encountered many unfortunate things, if she looked at it, it would not be too bad. For example, she has always had no worries about food and clothing, and her son is very promising, but she has always been unhappy. I was smiling in one place, but I was just smiling, my brows and eyes still couldn't be fully stretched.

"Yes, mother," Lu Tieshi said again: "You can also become younger by smiling more."

Mrs. Wu raised her hand and licked her hair, "I'm old, why am I still young?" She really never wore fashionable clothes, nor did she wear fancy and beautiful jewelry, coupled with her sick appearance, she simply looked old-fashioned A few points.

Ning Wan smiled and said, "Actually, my mother-in-law looks good, especially if you look closely. Tie Shi's eyebrows and eyes are just like my mother-in-law." Then she took out the clothes she made for her mother-in-law, "Let me say, my mother-in-law usually wears It's too plain, it's better to be brighter, I made one for my mother and mother-in-law each, and you all look good in it!"

The bright red auspicious wishful ball fabric can make people look better, the mother-in-law touched the satin surface gently with her hand, and said for a long time: "I will wear it again during the Chinese New Year." But she said: "It's time to prepare lunch, too. I'm going to rest for a while after dinner, you guys go out for a stroll, it's boring to be bored at home all day."

After the meal, Lu Tieshi took Ning Wan out for a stroll, and comforted her: "My mother let us out because she is used to being alone, so don't take it to heart."

Ning Wan just laughed, "I know, mother-in-law's temperament is like this, so I naturally don't care about it. Besides, mother-in-law is kind enough to let us go out for a stroll, I just feel bored at home all day."

Lu Tieshi just laughed, "Actually, I don't want to sit at home all the time."

However, it is cold outside in winter, and the trees in Liaodong are withered at this time, and the dripping water turns into ice, which is not very interesting. After turning around the iron stone, he said: "Last time you said you wanted to ride a horse, why don't I take you to the county town for a ride?" change?"

How is that possible?Ning Wan said, "Ten miles away!"

"What's more than a dozen miles? It won't be long. We just took advantage of the afternoon to go around the county town."

Ning Wan was a little tempted, but she didn't know how to ride a horse yet. If Tie Shi took her with her, she could only ride with her, "It's not good for people to see. You should take me to the wilderness to go to school when you have time later."

"At this time everyone is in Maodong, how many people are there outside?" Lu Tieshi looked at her and asked with a smile: "And you don't want to go back to your mother's house for a while?"

Ning Wan's eyes lit up when she heard that she was going back to her mother's house. Tieshi is good, and she has a good life in Lu's house, but she still really wants to go back to her mother's house! "Okay, let's go for a walk!"
