take a wife to support the family

Chapter 227 Spicy Pepper Scrambled Eggs

Today happened to be a grocery store came to buy flowers, Song Haonian counted the amount with them, handed over the money, and went home after working for half a day.

He left the shopkeeper at home for dinner, and the shopkeeper said: "There are so many of us, why bother? I have booked a room at the foot shop in the town, and I will leave early tomorrow morning. If Mr. Song has to go to the city in the future, the little old man will be the host to welcome you." Wash the dust."

Song Haonian couldn't stay, so he sent them to a foot shop to live in, and told them which one had clean food, and said: "My family runs a tofu shop, and I will deliver soy milk and buns to you tomorrow morning, and leave after breakfast , it won't take long."

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Master Song has good intentions, and the little old man will accept it."

After the two of them were polite, Song Haonian returned home in the scorching heat, Lily quickly poured water for him to wash his face, and made a cup of rose water for him to eat.

While wiping his face, Song Haonian felt a burst of coolness, and the heat of the day disappeared without a trace, and said: "Is there anything going on today? I'm not very happy to see you."

Lily thought she was covering it up very well, but she didn't expect Song Haonian to be able to see it at a glance, sighed and said: "Xiuxiu is talking gossip again today, the left and right are not good, it's so ugly that I can't even say it, what is Yingchun thinking?" ? I didn't keep her at home to make her angry."

In the end, I still don't trust my sister, for fear that she will be bullied elsewhere, so I can protect her anyway.Unexpectedly, because Song Xiuxiu was pregnant, no one could touch her, and she was so arrogant that her tail would stick to the sky, and she was so angry with Lily and Yingchun by herself.

Song Haonian was silent for a while, then said: "It's okay, I have a solution."

"What way?" Lily asked curiously.

She knew very well that Song Haonian was generous, and he didn't care too much about how many excessive things Song Xiuxiu did to him before he was married, and now he is even less likely to embarrass a pregnant woman.

Song Haonian said: "I'll talk to Xiao Xiucai, if Xiuxiu comes to find out what's wrong with you, I'll talk to him."

Lily blinked, and understood Song Haonian's meaning: his so-called "talking" did not mean that his brother-in-law and brother-in-law would bond with each other, talk well, and at least talk to scare the little scholar.

Song Haonian used to be in awe of Xiao Xiucai, a scholar, but now he gradually feels that Xiao Xiucai is not a good person, so he doesn't respect him as usual.

Bai Cheng said to him on a daily basis: "When a scholar does bad things, he is more afraid of people than an illiterate person. After all, his little scholar is just a person. For him to be literate, can he write off all the wrong things he has done?"

To put it too much, Song Haonian saw Liu Rulong as an ordinary person, he could read a few words, his character was not good, and the way he looked at his wife was uncomfortable.

The young couple looked at each other for a while, and they both remembered the incident when Song Haonian beat Xiao Xiucai to the point of fright. Lily smiled and said, "I will leave this matter to you, I am very relieved."

After saying that, he withdrew to the kitchen and called Yingchun to help with the cooking.

As soon as Yingchun entered the kitchen door, Lily told her: "Go to the vegetable field and pick some fresh peppers. I want green ones, thin and long ones."

Yingchun bit her lip, intending to say that she didn't want to go out, but she was also afraid that Lily would feel unhappy because she only ate and didn't cook.Go if you want, it is really difficult for her to go out, and there are hired workers working in the vegetable field, she will definitely meet others when she goes out, just thinking about it makes her tremble with fear.

Baihe didn't see Yingchun talking for a long time, and saw her standing there in a daze, her face pale, as if Lily didn't want her to pick some peppers, but actually told her to go up the knife mountain and down the oil pan.

It took a while for Yingchun to whisper, "Sister is hungry, I'll wash the rice and steam it, can you pick the chili peppers?"

Lily's heart softened, and she almost agreed, but then thought that Yingchun couldn't stay at home for a lifetime, the more she didn't go out, the more she was afraid of going out, and if it went on for a long time, a good girl would become useless.

"It's hot outside, it makes me dizzy, go quickly and put on your hat." Lily pretended not to know Yingchun's fear, and still urged her.

Yingchun was about to cry, her elder sister was such an elf, why didn't she know how to be considerate and considerate to her, as long as she was not asked to go out to meet people, even if life was not as good as it is now, she could bear it.

The two sisters stalemate silently for half a day, Lily finally compromised, and asked Song Haonian to pick peppers, and then ordered Yingchun: "Crack some eggs, sieve half a bowl of cold water in and beat them well."

Yingchun knows how to do this, she is like a duck that plunges into the water and refuses to look up, let out a long breath, and doesn't think about whether Song Haonian and Baihe will be happy, just thinks that she has escaped death, let alone Lily only told her to crack eggs, but also told her to chop firewood, and she was not allowed to eat dinner, she accepted them all.

When Song Haonian came back from picking peppers, Lily picked up a handful, threw them into cold water and told Yingchun to wash them clean, and twisted off the stalks at the back.

There is a trick to twisting the pepper stalk: hold the tail of the pepper with one hand, press the stalk inward with the thumb of the other hand, and then turn it left and right to pull out the pepper stalk and the pepper seeds completely.

These peppers are slender and thin-skinned, so it's not convenient to twist them like this. There are still a lot of pepper seeds left inside the peppers, and Lily doesn't care about them, "For today's dish, it's delicious to leave some pepper seeds." She said Give Yingchun two demonstrations, and ask her to follow suit.

After processing the chili peppers, cut them into fine pieces. Lily first scrambles the eggs, then frys the chili peppers with oil in the pan. The kitchen is immediately filled with a pungent aroma. Finally, put the eggs back and stir well, season with salt, and the vegetables are fried.

Buy a catty of fresh lean meat, grasp the starch evenly, add more oil to fry until fragrant, sprinkle with shredded scallions, and it is another dish.

While Lily was frying the meat, Yingchun had already stirred up a pot of batter, scooped a spoonful, spread it out in a flat-bottomed pan, baked it on a low heat, rolled up the edges after a while, carefully turned it over with a spatula, and baked until both sides were pliable, Just shovel it out and burn the next one.

When all the hired workers come to eat, the dinner of the day will be burritos, shredded pork with green onions, or stir-fried peppers with peppers. You can choose, and there is a pot of mung bean soup to quench your thirst.

Knowing that the hired workers are not used to eating spicy food, Lily told them in particular: "Let's put a little less and try it. If you can eat it, eat more. If you can't eat it, eat meat." Some people get sick when they eat chili peppers. Not so good.

Their own family is used to chili peppers, so they do it themselves, wrapping chili peppers in thin pancakes to eat. The chili peppers are spicy and fresh, and the eggs are tender and smooth. Anyone who can eat spicy food will find it delicious.

After eating two at a time, I felt that my tongue and stomach were burning. Lily quickly brought up the mung bean soup that had been left to dry in the morning. The mung bean soup was filled with sugar. Can eat more than one.

People who do farm work consume a lot of energy, and their appetites are not as delicate as those in the city. Even Lily and Yingchun can each eat two burritos.

After dinner, everyone dispersed, and while washing the dishes, Yingchun whispered to Lily, "Sister, I want to go home."

Lily was stunned: "It's not good for me to live here? Or who is gossiping with you?"

Yingchun shook her head: "You can't live here, but I want to go back."

Lily didn't speak for a while, her life at home was naturally not as good as that of the Liu Mansion, but one didn't have to serve others, and secondly, she didn't have to look at anyone's face, so it was naturally better than the maids in the Liu Mansion.

The other side of her mother's house is even more comfortable than her own. In addition, there is a Zhu family who is more mean than her daughter. Take Lamei as an example. She would rather eat bran here than go home.

Yingchun is not stupid, she is living well at the elder sister's house, why should she go back?

Lily thought for a while, and seemed to understand: "Are you doing it for Xiuxiu? Don't worry, your brother-in-law has already talked about her, and she will naturally restrain herself in the future."

Yingchun was silent for a while, but still said: "It's not good for me to live in your house, tell me to go back."

Her brother-in-law can stop Song Xiuxiu from talking nonsense, and can't stop these people in the town from talking gossip.Lily was ridiculed and ridiculed because of something that couldn't happen, but now that she is such an embarrassing girl, it makes people laugh even more.

Although Yingchun doesn't go out, she has been in Liu's mansion for a long time, and she knows that her eyebrows are high and her eyes are low. She only sees that the people who hang out with Lily these days are the family members of Song Haonian's brothers.

The neighbor's sister-in-law used to ask her daughter to borrow a rolling pin and ask for a spoonful of vinegar from time to time, but now she seldom comes, and she is especially taboo to ask her daughter to see Yingchun, as if talking to her, a good little girl will be spoiled.

Yingchun herself did something wrong and was willing to bear the consequences, but now that Lily was involved, she felt that her life was in vain, and she couldn't do a single good thing.

As long as Baihe thinks that Mrs. Zhu can't speak well, she dare not let Yingchun go back, for fear that she will be forced to die again by her mother.He just said: "You promised to help me. I have worked hard to teach you arithmetic, and now you have only learned half of it. You have to leave these things and go home. Are you afraid that I will test you?"

Yingchun didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You're still joking at this time! For a person like me, what good is it for you to stay at home? It won't hurt your reputation."

She suddenly said what was in her heart, and Lily didn't dare to joke anymore, she was so serious: "I don't care what other people gossip about, I just ask you, can you live well with me when you go home?"

Yingchun thought about it seriously: "No matter how bad it is, I still want to kiss my parents. If you say something ugly, what can you really do to me? Even if the family is difficult, I haven't lived through those days, and I can still get by."

She said it easily, but Baihe didn't believe it. She still had one more thing on her mind: Yingchun would fall into Mrs. Zhu's hands this time, and according to Mrs. Zhu's actions, she would be able to find a family for her in a short time and marry her off casually. .

Previously, Lamei was an innocent girl with yellow flowers, so Zhu could promise her to Guo Shuicheng, who beat his wife to death, without feeling sorry for her.The people she could tell Yingchun might not be as good as Guo Shuicheng.

Lily told Yingchun her worries clearly, Yingchun's face changed again and again, and finally she was as white as a wall, and she cried with trembling lips: "If I don't go home, where can I go? Sister, I am waiting for you in this town. If I don’t go down, let someone poke my spine like this, I’d rather die!”
