Rebirth of the farmer's daughter-in-law

Chapter 20

Si Ya ran away happily after hearing this, and Meng Duo carried the pot to the firewood room and placed it at the northernmost point.In this way, it can be stored until April and May. Put a piece when stewing, and the pot will be full of fragrance!

She picked out the fat under the skin of the chicken. This pheasant was very fat, and it was full of white flowers.Cut the chicken skin into strips, disassemble the chicken chops into small pieces, and sprinkle some salt to marinate them.There is no flour at home, so I used the sweet potato powder I ground to grab it.

Sanchun burned the pot until it was smoking, and Meng Duo put down the chicken oil, and there was a prickling sound, and the yard was filled with aroma.

"It smells so good!" Sanchun sniffed vigorously, Siya ran over from a long distance, and Meng Da washed his hands and stood at the door watching.

Meng Duo used a shovel to stir fry back and forth, a lot of butter was forced out of the chicken fat, and she scooped out the butter with a spoon and put it into the basin.

After a while, the pot was filled with a lot of butter, and the chicken fat in the pot shrank into a small piece, which looked mushy and delicious.

Si Ya, that greedy girl was about to reach out her hand, Meng Duo quickly patted the back of her hand, "Go wash your hands first, and eat after I serve it out."

When she came back, Meng Duo had already packed a meal in a small plate, and asked the two children to take it inside to eat, so as not to choke on the wind.

"Second sister-in-law, eat a piece first." Sanchun sensiblely picked up a piece and put it in Meng Duo's mouth, as if she would not give up if she didn't eat it.

She had no choice but to bite a small piece, her mouth was full of fragrance, and the greedy worms in her stomach were almost hooked out.

"I still have to cook, you go and feed uncle." Meng Duo said with a smile.

Meng Da was happy to see Siya eating with satisfaction, but he felt a little uncomfortable when he stood at the door and saw Meng Duo busy on the stove.If the second brother is still alive...

"Brother, you eat too." Sanchun's words interrupted his meditation.

He shook his head, "You guys eat, I saw that your second sister-in-law saved a lot, and I will eat it later when I eat. Don't eat too much, your second sister-in-law is still making delicious food, so as not to be unable to eat for a while."

"Is there something else to eat?" Siya smiled happily when she heard this, and threw away the food in her hands and ran to the yard to look for Meng Duo.

Meng Duo put the remaining chicken bones in the oil pan, then put half of the pot of sweet potato leaves and stems, stir-fried several times before adding water, and then added some chopped green onion and salt to cover the pot.

She called Sanchun out to light the fire, and went into the house to make cornbread.Her hands and feet were very nimble, and she took out a steamer in a short while and placed it on top of the pot.After about a quarter of an hour, the food was ready.

Meng Da asked them to eat a large pot of chicken bones and steamed buns with warm cornmeal.

Sanchun picked up a steamed bun and took a bite, "Hey, there are fillings in it! It smells so good!"

Every time I eat the steamed buns are dead lumps, this time Meng Duo chops up the sticky oil shuttle that has been removed from the fat and mixes it with Chinese cabbage to make the stuffing. Very appetizing.

"Is it delicious? Eat slowly, there are plenty." Meng Duo said softly, seeing his uncle and sister-in-law eating deliciously, he was happy, "Eat some more vegetables and drink some hot soup to warm your stomach."

Si Ya ate two steamed buns one after another, and a big bowl of stew. There was not much meat on the chicken bones, but the meat with the bones was particularly delicious.The Meng family is a vegetarian all year round, and it feels delicious to be able to eat some meat.

She reached out to get another steamed bun, but Meng Dayi's chopsticks hit her hand.

"I see." She pursed her lips and retracted her hand, "It's better to have it all at once than to be fragrant. Big brother always says this sentence, and I will recite it."

Meng Duo laughed and said: "Uncle is not afraid of you eating, but worried that you will hurt your stomach if you eat too much. Our family's life will be better and better, and we will eat more meat, and it will not make you hungry again." abdomen."

"Really?" Siya clapped her hands and jumped up, then lowered her head again, "Second sister-in-law is lying. Life is easy, why do you hide the meat in a jar? Do you want to give it away? The fat boy said, go The pheasant sent by the second sister-in-law is delicious."

"It's not a gift, it's for our family to eat slowly. The [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month is your birthday, and the second sister-in-law will make you something more delicious." Meng Duo nodded her nose.

Birthday?Si Ya was bewildered when she heard the words, she looked at her second sister-in-law and then at her elder brother, feeling as if she was dreaming.

Meng Da's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he thought that when his parents were still alive, although life was a bit more difficult, the birthdays of the three brothers were still celebrated.Later, both parents passed away, Si Ya was just one year old, and Meng Da was only fourteen, and they took on the burden of the family at such a young age, so they never thought of celebrating their younger siblings' birthdays.Therefore, in Si Ya's impression, there was no birthday at all.

"Just listen to your second sister-in-law, and I will celebrate your birthday then." Meng Da felt bitter in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.

Si Ya then screamed happily, and then grabbed San Chun and said, "The fat guy next door showed off to us as soon as his birthday is over, now I have my birthday too. Third brother, did you celebrate your birthday? Is it fun? I couldn't be happier..."

Seeing her talking endlessly, Meng Duo regretted saying it so early.

Si Ya kept making noises until it was time to sleep, but she shut up not because she wanted to sleep, but because she had a bad stomach and diarrhea.The stomach and intestines have not seen oil and water for a long time, and she suddenly eats too much, which is too young for her.

Meng Duo fed her a bowl of warm water, rubbed her belly gently, with a worried face.Fortunately, Siya stopped pulling after three times, and fell asleep feebly.

When I woke up the next day, Siya was still arguing and tired.Meng Duo watched her not to let her eat indiscriminately, and only fed her some clear porridge.In less than half a day, Siya was alive and kicking again.

Meng Da laughed and joked when he saw it: "This greedy girl is destined to eat porridge."

"Then what should I do? The second sister-in-law promised to make a lot of delicious food tomorrow, so I really have to eat porridge?" Siya shouted after hearing this, and Meng Da and the others all laughed.

The family was talking and laughing when they heard the sound of a gong beating.Every time there is a big meeting in the village, the village head will send people to beat gongs everywhere.I don't know what's going on in the village again. The last time the whole village gathered seemed to be to elect a new village chief.

Meng Da hurried to the village commune. After Meng Duo cleaned up the house, he took his uncle and sister-in-law to watch the excitement.

When she arrived, the village office was full of people, all of them old and young.There are several chairs at the door, on which are the famous members of the Chen family. The men are gathered in front, and the women are whispering.

She saw Meng Da through the crowd, and saw him frowning slightly in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

Listening to the discussions of the three aunts and six wives next to her, she probably knew what was going on.It turned out that the village head advocated the redistribution of land and invited respected clan members to testify.

"What's a good place to divide?"

"The one who died, was born, married, and married in, how much has changed in ten years? The land should have been redistributed." The speaker married a new wife three years ago, and gave birth to two children one after another, but there was no distinction. Heaven and earth.I just heard the village chief talk about the rules of land distribution, so I was naturally anxious.
