Chapter 78

"Okay!" Kou Xi pushed Huo An away, straightened her hair uncomfortably and lowered her head: "I'm going to get busy!"

Seeing Kou Xi fleeing, Huo An frowned puzzled.Kou Xi deliberately stayed next door for a long time, picking and picking and procrastinatingly cutting up the things she needed, and then putting them in a basin and returning to her room.

Going to the door, Kou Xi saw that the bathtub had been moved under the window, and it was covered with a plastic sheet and covered with a quilt.After entering the corridor, the water on the ground was wiped clean. Kou Xi put down the basin and walked into the room to look around and saw that Huo An had already taken out the quilt and rested.

With a sigh of relief, she closed the door and went back to the stove to fry something.

First fry sweet potato pieces, then deep-fry shrimp slices, radish and tofu meatballs, and finally fry the octopus with batter.Kou Xi was so hot that he was sweating all over his body, and he opened the door to let the air in the room get a good breath.

Huo Tianyi ran back and forth several times, eating up the fried sweet potatoes, shrimp crackers, and meatballs.

Over there, Gao Liman delivered the melted mutton, and smiled as she looked at her son's greasy face: "You are such a naughty boy, you must be full!"

She stretched her neck curiously to look in, and asked curiously, "What are you doing, big brother?"

"Didn't you hear the loud snoring inside?" Kou Xi laughed and said, "How tired are you? How dare you try to help me with work."

"The work in the kitchen, what can a man do!" Gao Liman immediately waved his hand in agreement: "Tianyi's father also insisted on helping me with the work. I despised him for being clumsy, so I sent him out to play mahjong. "

"Sister-in-law!" Gao Liman patted Huo Tianyi on the head and asked him to take a small bowl containing sweet potatoes, meatballs, and shrimp chips to deliver to his daughter.

Seeing her son leaving the house, she couldn't help lowering her voice: "Big sister will come back tomorrow, how much lucky money do you plan to give the child?"

Kou Xi cut the leg of lamb with a sharp knife, and said disapprovingly: "How much can I give, just like Tianyi in your family, five yuan per person!"

"Oh, it's so much, I thought it would make sense to give two yuan!" Gao Liman bit her lip with a pained look.

"You don't have to compare with us. How much money you give is a matter of thought. Besides, if you give two dollars, you will get two dollars back. The New Year's money is a lottery. Don't you think that our family has no children. The money is all for nothing. Send it out!"

Gao Liman muttered: "Or I'll tell my eldest sister that none of us will give this money. It's meaningless to exchange it!" After finishing speaking, he added: "We didn't have this habit in previous years. !"

Kou Xi raised his face and said with a smile: "Oh, really. That's really my mistake. Our family didn't like this. You mean, I don't have to give it to Tianyi and the others. We won't do this in the future. Feudal superstition activities. All right, I will follow everyone!"

You don't need to look at Gao Liman's face to know that she is very upset at this moment.Kou Xi said again: "If you want to say that, I can understand. You said that I had to give the New Year's money just now, and the second sister and his wife don't know what to think. We both have jobs, and the second sister It's not easy for a couple!"

"What's not easy!" Gao Liman said angrily, "I think people are doing better than us. If life is not good, my mother's family will give me relief. To put it bluntly, our father just meddles in his own business. It doesn't cost money in this life." Huh? Didn’t our dad pay for it? That day when my second sister went to the hospital for an examination, she said she lacked nutrition. You said that the big fat man made it in her mouth like she didn’t need money. Nutrition. I didn’t look at the eggs at home and didn’t let her eat them, so I saved them for her. I didn’t do this when I was giving birth, and I didn’t realize it.”

Gao Liman's complaints Kou Xi has heard a lot in the past two days. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not easy to get along with, and adding an aunt who goes home to give birth must have many conflicts.

"It's not easy for her!" Kou Xi persuaded Gao Liman in a low voice: "Song Jiangang's family is poor, and the two of them don't have much land for a year and don't have much savings. The first child gave birth to a son, but it's a girl. I hope this Titus is a son, so I won't need the help of the family from now on!"

"It's hard to be so pretentious towards her!" Gao Liman curled her lips: "It's not that I speak badly, people, sometimes don't take yourself too seriously. If you take yourself too seriously, God will not Take you seriously!"

Kou Xi, however, refused to go along with saying bad things about others. She was an experienced person and knew that it only took a bag of cigarettes to spread bad things to the ears of the person concerned.Be a listener at most, but not a participant.

Chop the leg of lamb into pieces, chop the sauerkraut finely, and soak the vermicelli until soft.Pour the leg of lamb into the pot with cold water and boil the blood foam.Skim off the blood foam with a colander, pour out the mutton, and pour the broth on top.

Put the garlic cloves, ginger slices, and dried peppers into the pan and stir-fry. After the aroma is released, add the leg of lamb.After the aroma is released, take out the leg of lamb and put it in a clean casserole, then pour the broth just now into the cauldron.

Put the casserole on the stove and simmer slowly until the pot is opened.Kou Xi evenly sprinkled the chopped sauerkraut into the casserole.Brush the pot here, and put the cleaned carp into the pot.

Instructed Gao Liman: "You have to watch this casserole carefully, don't burn it to dryness. When the water is low, you can pour some soup in this pot, and wait until the fish is cooked before adding vermicelli into the casserole. Keep using a spoon Stir the casserole carefully so that it heats evenly."

Gao Liman didn't understand what it means to be heated evenly, but felt that Kou Xi liked to pretend too much and always liked to say things she didn't understand.

In the room, Huo An was lying on the kang and heard Kou Xi's words, and felt that she was really different from the past half a year after marriage.The words became a little more polite, and the content of the letter became richer.It seems that people will still change with the environment, and Kou Xi has changed a lot in the past six months.

Huo An is also relieved that Kou Xi is no longer as innocent as before.No longer being cautiously manipulated like a quail, let alone participating in the activities of women's parents gossiping about their wives.

Kou Xi went back to the kitchen next door and made braised pork ribs first.While waiting, I mixed a cold dish.Another pot cooked the blood sausage, cut it and put it on a plate.The braised pork ribs here are ready, put them aside and cover them.I also want to make chicken stewed mushrooms, and then make fat sausage, stir-fried tripe shreds, and candied sweet potatoes. As for whether I want to make sweet and sour hairtail, it depends on the time.

Gao Liman came in with a plate of carp and removed the panel from the kitchen.Li Cuilian led Zhang Yao and Gao Liman to start making dumplings in the house. Li Cuilian rolled out skins and Zhang Yao made dumplings stuffed with chives and eggs, while Gao Liman made dumplings stuffed with celery and pork.

Huo An also woke up at this time, closed the door in the room and opened the door outside.Evacuate the smell in the kitchen, so that Kou Xi will not have to clean up again when he comes back at night.

"Huo Lu, come and help!" Huo An greeted Huo Lu: "Finish the package early!"

Li Cuilian couldn't see her son working, so she hurriedly yelled: "What kind of work does a man do? It's all about old women! Go, go, watch TV!"

After speaking, he yelled at Kou Xi who was cooking in the kitchen behind the house: "Kou Xi, fry spring rolls for the children again."

Kou Xi agreed, and Huo An frowned unhappy: "There are so many dishes, isn't it enough? Kou Xi has already made candied sweet potatoes and shrimp crackers."

"Oh, it's Chinese New Year. It doesn't cost her anything to make spring rolls, it's very simple!" Li Cuilian disagreed: "You don't have to feel sorry for your wife, she can do it!"
