Chapter 32

When I went out in the morning, I brought a vegetable pancake and a pot of water, but I didn’t eat anything else. I was hungry all day, and now I smelled this fragrance, my stomach couldn’t take it anymore, and I immediately started gurgling.

Li Hongxiang smiled and told the story of the children catching pheasants during the day, saying that Lingbao'er also picked up delicious mushrooms, which were not poisonous.

Zhang Tiezhu didn't expect the children to be able to catch wild pheasants when they went up the mountain to collect firewood. He was so excited that he praised the children for their strength, and Li Hongxiang also looked relieved.

At this time, Zhang Tiezhu noticed the slap marks on his daughter-in-law's face and the messy hair. He couldn't help being taken aback, and quickly asked, "Daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you? Who hit you?"

Before Li Hongxiang could speak, Zhang Zhiqiang and Zhang Zhiwen beside him couldn't wait to tell about Zhang Youqian's daughter-in-law's visit to make trouble, their two little faces were still full of anger.

When Zhang Tiezhu heard that his daughter-in-law had been wronged, he immediately became angry, turned around and walked out of the courtyard, he didn't even care about dinner, he had to go to Zhang Youqian's wife to settle the score, but was stopped by Li Hongxiang.

"Husband, let's forget about this matter. Lizheng was there before and brought clothes to Ling Bao'er. We can't make it difficult for Lizheng. Besides, when she hit me, I didn't just stand there stupidly. I also hit her." Hit her a few times."

Zhang Tiezhu just gave up, but next time Zhang's rich daughter-in-law dares to bully his mother-in-law and his son, he will definitely not let her go!

Fortunately, in the end, Ling Baoer was smart and thought of the difference between wild pheasants and domestic chickens, otherwise it would be unreasonable for a scholar to meet a soldier.

"Father and mother, the meal is ready, we can eat now." Zhang Yuxiu reminded.

In one pot was the chicken soup boiled at noon, and in the other pot was still steamed wheat rice.

"Let's not eat wheat rice at night, and mother will bake pancakes for you." Li Hongxiang laughed.

"But the wheat rice is already cooked..." Zhang Yuxiu frowned. Pancakes are delicious, but the wheat rice should not be wasted.

"Mother, since the wheat rice is already cooked, let's eat the wheat rice, and we can bake pancakes tomorrow." Su Jinse said.

Although barley rice is unpalatable, it is one of the few rations in the family. In this era, poor people eat all barley rice. Pancakes are made of white flour, which is much more expensive than barley rice.

Only those wealthy households could regularly eat white flour and rice.

Li Hongxiang thought about it for a while, and the steamed wheat and rice should not be wasted.

As soon as the lid of the pot was lifted, the smell of chicken became stronger. At noon, the four children didn't eat a few pieces, and they all wanted to keep it for their parents, so there was still a big pot of chicken.

The whole family sat around in the kitchen, and each of them filled a large bowl full of barley rice. The bowls were filled with chicken soup, and the chicken was so fragrant that it almost flowed out. There was also stewed radish with chicken offal. It has been stewed for a long time, and the taste is more fragrant.

Li Hongxiang saw that Su Jinse ate small pieces of chicken, so she put a fat chicken leg into Su Jinse's bowl, "Lingbao, eat quickly."

Su Jinse was taken aback, a little touched, she picked up the chicken leg and wanted to put it in Li Hongxiang's bowl, but Li Hongxiang stopped her, "This is for rewarding you. If you weren't smart today, none of us would have had chicken, and maybe we would have to be punished." Zhang's rich daughter-in-law was wronged and lost money."

Zhang Yuxiu's three siblings saw that a big chicken had arrived in Su Jinse's bowl, and they couldn't help but stare helplessly, but the three of them were very sensible, and when they heard Li Hongxiang's words, they all nodded in agreement, saying that the younger sister should eat chicken legs.
