Reborn 1960之巧女当家

Chapter 14 Dinner
After Grandpa Xia and the others left, the people around dispersed when they saw that there was no excitement to watch. As for Xia Zhongguo and his family, they were so happy to see them leave.

"Okay, Wen Hao, don't take your grandma's words to heart. Your grandma is confused if you didn't listen to what your grandpa just said. You can't waste the first meal Xiaonuan made."

Xia Zhongguo didn't take his parents' words to heart at all, as long as he took care of his own family, he would be filial to his parents, but he didn't want his wife and children to be wronged.

Wang Ximei on the side didn't look good because of Grandma Xia's disturbance. There are many people in the village who are rushing to reclaim the fields. Grandma Xia's nonsense just now attracted many people to watch the fun. Wang Ximei feels very uncomfortable being watched by others like this .

Of course Xia Zhongguo had already noticed this, he picked up a chopstick and put it into Wang Ximei's bowl, talking to her in a low voice.

"Don't worry about what Grandma Nuannuan said just now. She will feel uncomfortable if she doesn't make trouble for a day. I will deal with things in the old house in the future. You'd better not go there, lest your mother embarrass you."

Xia Zhongguo's thoughtfulness and comfort made Wang Ximei feel much better.

Xia Zhongguo and Wang Ximei had a lot of physical exertion during the autumn harvest, and their family ate all the lunches Xia Nuan had prepared.

"Mother, I saved the teapot for you, remember to drink more water on such a hot day." Xia Nuan put the teapot on the ridge of the field where Wang Ximei and the others were cutting rice, and followed Wen Hao and the others back home.

After lunch, this time is the hottest time of the day. Wen Hao wanted to go to the mountain to dig the remaining sweet potatoes, but Xia Nuan felt that he could dig sweet potatoes anytime.

Now that the sun is so strong outside, she is worried that there will be problems going out at this time. The children of Xia's family are all very thin due to malnutrition.

In the end, Xia Nuan acted coquettishly and insisted on keeping Wen Hao. They took a nap at home for a while before going out together with their things. The four of them dug up all the sweet potatoes on the mountain, and cut them on the mountain. A lot of pigweed.

The sweet potatoes dug in the morning have been collected and just waiting to be put into the cellar. In the utility room, there are only grains that will be eaten in the near future. Most of the grain is hidden in the cellar in the yard. The cellar is usually locked. The key is kept by Wang Ximei, and these children can't get in without the key.

Xia Nuan was packing up the freshly dug sweet potatoes at home, while Wen Hao took his two younger brothers to the small pig farm in the brigade with the newly cut pigweed on his back to change centimeters. The surface of the sweet potatoes was air-dried and preserved The time will be longer, and the sweet potatoes will rot easily if the humidity is too high.

Xia Nuan knew these from the memories she got. Xia Nuan put one of the pheasants in the casserole at home, added seasoning, red dates and some wolfberries to prepare chicken soup with red dates and wolfberries. The red dates and wolfberries are from the mountains. She didn't feel bad when she got it back, and using these to stew chicken soup has a good nourishing effect on the body.

The other processed pheasant, Xia Nuan, put some salt on it and put it in the bamboo basket hanging from the beam, so that it could be preserved for a longer period of time.

Wen Zhi rushed in excitedly, "Xiao Nuan... what are we going to eat tonight? Chicken?"

At noon, besides the two adults and Wen Hao, Wen Zhi ate the most. He ate one and a half of the big pancake alone, almost as much as Wen Hao.

Xia Nuan, who was standing on the bench and was about to order pancakes, was taken aback by Wenzhi's voice, "Xiaozhi, what are you shouting? It scared me to death. You are a glutton who always thinks about pheasant meat. And I am Your sister, what should you call your sister, Xiaonuan!"

She felt that she was slowly integrating into this family. She, Wenhua and Wenzhi were born on the same day as the triplets, and the difference was only ten minutes. Xia Nuan thought that she could call Wenhua Second brother, as a younger brother, Wen Zhi should be called elder sister.

She used to be an orphan without any relatives, but now she has parents, an older brother and a younger brother, of course she hopes that Wen Zhi can call her older sister.

"I don't, what sister, you were born ten minutes earlier than me, Xiao Nuan, tell me what are we having for dinner? Don't spoil the chicken in this weather."

Now Wen Zhi is only thinking about the two pheasants caught in the morning, and the meal Xia Nuan cooked at noon made Wen Zhi swallow his saliva.

"Okay, the chicken is already stewed, you go out first and don't make trouble here, I'm going to start pancakes."

Wen Zhi always talks here, Xia Nuan feels that she can't even cook with peace of mind, if she used to be fine, but now that she has short arms and legs, it's really distracting for Wen Zhi to talk to her like this.

She went to her private plot to pick some vegetables and made a few dishes, baked a few pancakes and made a pot of millet porridge, which was different from noon. Xia Nuan mixed four eggs into the pancakes at night. She felt that she could eat them during the day. It's inconvenient to worry about being seen by others. There are very few people in the village who visit at night to eat better at night, so don't worry about anything.

As soon as Wang Ximei and his wife came home, they saw Xia Nuan stepping on a small stool, standing on the stove and waving a spatula. It was a much stronger reaction than hearing Xia Nuan say that she was cooking at noon, but when they got home, only A few pancakes and two dishes were not ready, and everything else was ready.

Seeing that Xia Nuan was about to finish dinner, Wang Ximei wanted to take over and finish the rest, but she and Xia Zhongguo were both covered in stinky sweat just after returning from work in the field, how could they bear it? what!
Xia Nuan had thought of this a long time ago, so she started to boil the water in advance. She was sweating all over and couldn't eat comfortably. The hot water can be used immediately after heating it on the fire.

"Mom, the hot water is ready. You should take a bath first. It will be more comfortable. I have almost finished dinner." The food distribution is about to start and the food at home is plentiful, so Xia Nuan cooks dinner It doesn't feel bad at all to use fine grains when it comes to food.

After she finished her meal, it was already completely dark. Wang Ximei and Xia Zhongguo had already showered and changed into clean clothes and came out. Wen Hao and the others helped Xia Nuan take all the prepared meals to the main room. on the table.

Xia Zhongguo and Wang Ximei were very relieved to see the children helping together. Almost everything was moved there, except for the big casserole of chicken soup.

, Wen Hao wanted to take it, but Xia Nuan stopped him. No matter how strong Wen Hao is, a pheasant and soup are not light, and the casserole is very hot. If the pot of chicken soup is smashed, she will feel distressed. .

"Dad, it's time for dinner, can you help me bring out the chicken soup, it's too heavy and I don't dare to ask my brother to bring it."

Xia Zhongguo took the casserole away in a daze and waited until he lifted the lid of the casserole and saw the chicken in it before he came back to his senses, "Chicken? There are many chickens at home. Where did your chicken come from? By the way, there are Where the hell did the eggs at noon come from?"

Xia Zhongguo's face darkened when he said these words. Although he loved Xia Nuan very much, he didn't dare to relax his requirements on the children's life. What can't be done must be clear.
