The wicked girl

Chapter 13
After Ding He drank the soup, he still felt puzzled and showed Xu his expression for a few days.

After being tidied up, Mrs. Xu felt much better. She has also been bored in the room these few days and has not come out to make troubles.

The Ding family had a rare few days of comfort.

On this day, Mrs. Mei still went to work in the vegetable garden by herself, and her lunch was packed by Ye Kui again.

When it was almost noon, the aroma of rice came out from the cracks in the pot lid, and Mei came back with a basket.As soon as she entered the door, she saw Chunxi wearing a half-worn spring shirt and trembling with her arms around her arms. She patted her angrily, and really couldn't understand that this girl of hers seemed to be more beautiful than others when she was born.She has a clever temperament, and because her mother-in-law, Ding He, likes her, she is often used to it. It is more difficult to get her to do some work on weekdays.

In this village, when it comes to who has the prettiest girl, Chunxi is ranked second, and absolutely no one dares to rank first.So all along, except for the little girl Chunlan who can help, the work of this family has actually fallen on Mei's shoulders.

Looking at Ye Kui sitting in front of the stove and burning a fire, she couldn't help but secretly rejoice.

When she gave birth to her son, Chunjiang, she had a difficult delivery. Chunjiang was broken by the midwife before landing on the ground, and escaped from death.Now that he's grown up, his studies are mediocre, and he's born with bad legs and feet, and it's hard to be a farmer. In the future, it must be much more difficult to talk about kissing than the third child today.She had been anxious all along, but looking at it now, she seemed to be able to breathe a sigh of relief.

It would be very appropriate for the child who grew up under her watch to be her own daughter-in-law in the future.

Mei was thinking about it in her heart, but she didn't reveal it to anyone. She only secretly wanted to teach Ye Kui to the daughter-in-law she wanted.After putting down her things and going into the stove, she prepared to make the braised pork herself.

A few nights ago, Lao Ding went out for a walk, and when he met his nephew who was visiting relatives in the village, he was invited to have a drink with him.This man opened a tailor's shop in the town, and the business was very good.

During the dinner, he heard Lao Ding muttering about the fact that his elder brother was not able to make money, so he patted his thigh with a smile and said to him, "Uncle, if you don't mind, let Brother Duoshou come to my shop to learn." How about two years?"

Old Dingtou hastily agreed.

The third child is eighteen or nineteen years old. Although he is a little older as an apprentice, but fortunately he is following his own people, so he can't suffer much.Besides, after learning this, you can become a craftsman, which is faster than being a farmer facing the loess!
So today, in order to practice for the third child, Lao Ding went to buy a catty of pork early in the morning and came back.

This is Mei's specialty dish, so she prepared everything in a few clicks.Mince the fat meat and stir fry the oil in a hot pan. Add star anise and dogwood and saute until fragrant. Add ginger slices and garlic cloves and stir-fry until slightly browned.Then pour the rib pork belly with skin that was washed and cut into large pieces into the pot, add rice wine and stir-fry for a while.Then add autumn oil, salt, water, bay leaves and cinnamon in turn, and then add a few spoonfuls of sugar and boil on high heat.After the water boils, skim off the froth, cover the pot, and turn to low heat and simmer for an hour.

If foreign sugar is used, the meat will be even more red, bright and crispy, but now it is a luxury to use this big spoonful of white sugar.

As the soup gradually thickened, the aroma couldn't stop overflowing.

After simmering carefully until it was crispy, Meishi took out the meat and began to arrange the rice.

At the dinner table, Mrs. Ding He burst into tears while picking up the rice: "Poor third child, it's all because your sister-in-law made three extra mouths, and you are so tired that you have to be an apprentice to beg for food, even your daughter-in-law Can't tell!"

The words were so shabby that Mei suddenly lost her appetite.

Any money in the family was held by Ding He's family. All the money earned by the eldest was spent on the second and third children, and he had to buy a dowry for the sister-in-law Cuiyu.Now she was just thinking about making some early plans for her son, and wanted to make people sick at the dinner table. She was so wronged that her mouth was full of bitterness, but she couldn't say it clearly.

Chunlan is about to be able to become someone else, and Dalang Chunjiang is studying, and sooner or later he will have to give it a try. This exam is not worth money?The money was supposed to come from business trips, but although Chunjiang is the eldest grandson of the Ding family, he was born with a limp and was not favored by the Ding He family since he was a child.There is no private school in the village, and Chunjiang's school is several miles away. He usually stays at his master's house and only comes back every now and then. Ding He never has a good face.

How can you survive these days?

Mei's eyes were red, and the food in his mouth tasted like chewing wax.

Fortunately, after the third child went to the town, Ding He missed his son every day, and he didn't have the thought of torturing Mei.

When Mrs. Mei got some free time, she led Chunlan and her sister-in-law Cuiyu to do needlework, embroider flowers and tie nets.Knowing that these things can be exchanged for money, Ye Kui wanted to learn, but Chunxi dragged her outside, "Let's go, catch fish, I haven't had fish soup for a long time."

The water in the Taohua River in the village is crystal clear, and when the weather warms up, the fish in it start to swim freely.In Chunxi's eyes, it becomes food.

Today when Chunjiang came home, Chunxi called him up.Xiaojiu recovered from her hand injury and followed along with Ye Shu.Xu's only son, Chunhai, also hurriedly followed them after seeing him.

"Xiaoshu, it's just warmed up today, and the water is still cold, let's play far away." Ye Kui asked him softly, pulling Ye Shu.

Unexpectedly, Mei's eldest son, Chun Jiang, suddenly said: "It's okay, the water in the Taohua River is not so cold this season, besides, the sun is hot now, and the water is already warm."

Hearing this, Ye Shu hurriedly grabbed her hand and acted coquettishly: "Sister, just play for a while, you see brother and brother Chunjiang are here, everything will be fine."

The breasts on the top of her head were bright, she looked at Ye Shu as if she really wanted to play, so she nodded helplessly.

Chunxi also fell into the water at some point, and Chunjiang frowned and chased her to the bank, "How can you roll up your trousers and go into the river?"

"Oh, brother, why are you so pedantic, and there are no outsiders here, so what if you let me play for a while?" Chunxi said coquettishly, and went down the river regardless.

Ye Kui didn't want to play in the water with them, so she found a comfortable place under a tree on the bank and sat down to watch.She looked at Ye Shu from a distance, and thought of things from a long time ago for no reason.It seems like this is also the case when spring is about to die and summer is about to come. She went to the swimming pool with her younger brother who was already in junior high school. The two were arguing. She pushed his head into the water and almost drowned him.Speaking of which, her temper was really violent at that time, fortunately, after he woke up, the old god was still there to comfort her.

He is completely different from the Ye Shu in front of him...

After a few people played for a while, Chunxi suddenly got angry and wanted Xiao Jiu and Chun Jiang to siege fish together.But Xiaojiu was tired after saying something lightly, so she walked to the shore.

This can be regarded as offending Chunxi.

She snorted coldly, and suddenly approached Xiao Jiu's position, then suddenly picked up a large handful of water and splashed it on Xiao Jiu.In an instant, Xiao Jiu's half-worn spring shirt was soaked through.
