take a wife to support the family

Chapter 40 Scallion Egg Pancake

In that room, Li Caifeng swept away the little scholar like a gust of wind, took the time to wink at Lily, Lily understood, took Heizi back to the door quickly, and Liu Rulong didn't even see the corner of her clothes.

Calm down, Lily scolded the little scholar for being shameless, saying that he was a scholar, and he hadn't learned any manners, justice, and shame. Back then, the eldest girl was not married, so he wanted to take advantage of the eldest girl and be irresponsible. Now, taking advantage of Song Haonian's absence , he came to hook up with Lily again.

As the saying goes, a wife is worse than a concubine, a concubine is worse than a thief, and it is better not to be able to steal than to be able to steal.Now, in Liu Rulong's eyes, Lily is a piece of meat that cannot be stolen, hanging far away, it is more fragrant than anything else.

He was so bold that even his usual timidity faded a bit, and he vowed to get Lily.Little did he know that Lily was also furious and wanted to teach him a lesson!
Most of the things on the festival are women's disadvantages, especially in ancient times. Lily didn't plan to head-on with the little scholar, so she went back to her mother's house the next day.

This time, Lily brought a lot of things with her when she came back this time. It is impossible for her to hide the fact that she made money from doing business in the town. Later, Mrs. Zhu learned from others that she had made money, so she was bound to make trouble, so it was better to stop it with something earlier. Her mouth is convenient for everyone.

But he didn't directly say that he earned it by himself, but only said: "Bring me a message in New Year's Eve, let me buy something to honor my parents."

Zhu Shi pouted: "For he has a conscience."

With the money her daughter earned, why did Song Haonian dare to honor her parents after speaking out?

After taking the things and turning them over, Mrs. Zhu smiled, and quickly told Lily to sit down, and called Lamei to pour water for her elder sister.For so many years, it was the first time that Lily was treated like this at home, and she couldn't help but feel that Mrs. Zhu was really unreasonable.

Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Zhu talked to Lily one by one, why should I earn more money to subsidize my mother's family, and why a man who has been coaxed will naturally have a good life... "Qingsong is the root of our old Li's family. You don't love him, but you still love him." Which one? He's living a good life, so he can treat you badly? Don't make a mistake!"

Lily smiled or not: "Mother, is this how you subsidize my uncles?"

Zhu's face suddenly stretched out.Her hometown was so poor that she couldn't afford to eat. Her brothers didn't have a single good thing. Ever since she could remember, how many scars would have been added to her body?

Ever since she ran away with Carpenter Li, Mrs. Zhu has never returned to her natal family for half her life. She only treats her natal brothers as dead, so how dare she subsidize them?Once those few locusts get on them, they can suck out the bone marrow of the Li family!

Zhu felt that the eldest daughter was not as obedient as she used to be since she got married. On second thought, it was only after she got married that she became more capable. She hated and loved Lily at the same time. After all, she didn't point at Lily to beat and scold her, but just gouged her out with her eyes.

Only then did Lily talk about her reason for coming, "I'm going out to do business on New Year's Eve, and I can't take care of it at home alone, mother, let San Niu stay with me for a while."

Mrs. Zhu raised her eyebrows immediately: "It's not enough for you to eat and be lazy, and San Niu is also going? San Niu is gone, what should I do with so many things at home? The food and drink are all brought by the old sparrow, I don't need Do you work?"

Lamei heard her sister's suggestion first, her eyes lit up, and then she was shocked by Zhu's series of words and shrank back, not daring to vent her anger.

Mrs. Zhu patted her thigh and scolded Lily for not knowing how to be considerate of her own mother, seeing her exhausted and not knowing how to reach out, and instead wanted to take San Niu away, this unfilial daughter should have been strangled to death when she was born...

Fortunately, Lily didn't have much expectations for this cheap girl, and she knew that she was just such a foolish person, despite her pretty appearance, in fact, she didn't have any guards on her lips, she just opened her mouth to speak vulgar words, and she didn't know the depth of it at all.

When Mrs. Zhu wanted to scold, she listened with a smile on her face. Seeing Mrs. Zhu scolding dryly, she even pushed her water bowl over: "Mother, are you hungry? Drink some water to moisten your throat."

Zhu was so angry that he fell backwards.

In the end, it was the Li bamboo craftsman and Qingsong who pleaded together, and Lily promised that Lamei would go with her, and she would send money back every month like Yingchun, so Zhu was willing to let go, and entangled with Lily about money: The month will send back one hundred dollars, you have to act like her, and the money will be the same!"

Lily sneered: "What kind of family did Er Niu go to? Mr. Liu's family is one of the best in the town, and even in the county town, he has a head and a face. Which famous brand am I, dare to be on par with his family? Twenty dollars a month , no more, you won’t kill me.”

Mrs. Zhu wished she could pick up the broom and hit her a few times now, but she was someone else's daughter-in-law again, so she couldn't beat her easily, so she had to swallow this breath: "Fifty money! Don't pretend I don't know, you carry it on your back." I'm making money."

Lily: "25. I married someone, and the money I made is also from the old Song's family. Mother, you said that I was behind your back, and the old Song's family also said that I was behind their backs to subsidize you. I am not happy."

The mother and daughter bargained without any affection at all, and finally agreed to send back [-] yuan a month, even if Lily took Lamei away.

On the rugged mountain road, Lily walked with ease, Lamei followed behind and started to cry: "Sister, how can this happen?"

It's common for a big sister to ask her sister to accompany her and help her a little bit in the countryside. How can anyone ask for money for this?It's not enough for mother to sell the eldest sister, but also to rent her out!

Lily didn't see Lamei following her, but when she turned her head and saw she was weeping, she quickly smiled and said, "What's the matter?"

Lamei was extremely wronged. She was at home and couldn't cry when she saw her mother. Now she can finally cry in front of Lily, regardless of being in the barren mountains and wild mountains, sobbing and crying , One line cried and one line said that mother shouldn't do this.

Lily quickly wiped her tears with a handkerchief: "Stop crying, don't you know what our mother is like?"

"I know what she looks like, but this is too much. How do you behave in the Song family?" Lamei's eyes were red, and she was afraid that she would hurt her eldest sister and cause her new daughter-in-law to be talked about by her in-laws.

"Eldest Sister really needed you to do something, so she forced you to come here. Whether my mother wants money or not is another matter. Even if you help me, I have to give you a salary."

"...No...I don't want to..." Lamei protested weakly, but her voice was too low for Lily to pretend that she couldn't hear her.

She is different from Da Niu and Lamei. She was born in the countryside, and she is also a person who has received equal education between men and women. She will not look down on herself. Ready to turn over.

The three daughters of the Li family, even Yingchun, who is the hottest and capable, would not think that she is more expensive than green pines and gold.Da Niu and La Mei live like mice, trembling with fear every day.

Lily occupies the body of the eldest girl and the status of the eldest sister, and she intends to help San Niu, and San Niu happens to be able to help her, so why not do it?
Lamei finally stopped crying, just lowered her head and followed her eldest sister. After more than an hour, she came to the town. When she saw a lot of people, the relaxed and stretched state on the mountain road just now disappeared. She shrank behind Lily, wishing she could hide herself in the ground go inside.

Lily sighed, she was too timid, she might be useless for a while, she had to rely on herself.

That night, I made scallion egg pancakes to welcome Lamei. It was the first time she came to live in her sister's house, so she couldn't feel that she was being neglected.

Lily asked Lamei to light a fire for her, cooked a pot of millet porridge, cracked a few eggs and stirred them evenly, mixed in Luo Hao flour and stirred in one direction to make a thick paste, and pulled a few juicy green onions from the yard, Wash and chop and season the batter.

Scooped a spoonful of lard boiled a few days ago and melted it in an iron pan. The bottom of the pan was thick with oil, and Lamei was speechless: "Sister, there is so much oil!"

"It's the first time you've come here, and it's okay if you don't have any oil?" Lily said, rolled up her sleeves, scooped a spoonful of batter into the pot, wrapped her wrists, and the egg batter spread into a cake shape, steaming outside. aroma.

Lamei watched the fire while swallowing, so that it would not be too big to burn the pan, nor too small, so that the pancakes would not be cooked for a long time.

Seeing that the omelet was solidified, Lily turned it over with a spatula. The turned side was already attractive golden yellow, dotted with green onion, which looked very beautiful.

Not long after, Lily spread out three or four omelet pancakes, guessing about the same, and cut a few slices of the sausage given by Li Caifeng, chopped it, mixed it into the batter, fried it with the remaining oil in the pan, and made two pancakes .

The meals are on the table, millet porridge, egg pancakes, all of which are yellow and clear, and the red sausage and green chopped green onion add color and fragrance.

Just waiting for Lily to say "eat", Lamei hurriedly picked up the bowl and drank a few mouthfuls of porridge. Mother was away, so she didn't have to wait until the whole family had finished eating before picking leftovers to eat. Her eyes are red.

She only cared about eating porridge, and didn't dare to move her chopsticks for a long time, so Lily did it herself, and put an egg pancake into her bowl: "You should also try Big Sister's handicraft, and tell me if it's not good, so I can try to improve it."

Lamei pursed her lips. Where can she get good things like eggs, lard, and sausages at home?Even if Qingsong tried every means to save food for her, mother would still pull Qingsong's ears and call him a prodigal, and only pay for money-losing goods.

She peeked at Lily, and carefully took a bite of the egg pancake.Freshly baked egg pancakes are glistening with oil, and there is a strong aroma of oil at the entrance. The eggs are mixed with flour, which is fluffy and sweet with a rustle of noodles. The chopped green onion enhances the flavor, and the sausage enhances the freshness...

Lamei didn't hesitate any longer, and took big bites of the egg pancakes, lest her mother's broom would fall on her back if her speed slowed down, and she would scold her for losing money and not worthy of such a good meal.

Lily sighed, the big girl was exactly the same as Lamei in the past, the first time she ate chicken soup, she also looked like a hungry ghost who devoured it.She is lucky, meeting someone like Song Haonian, and with her hundreds of years of experience, she can always slowly earn a way out.

Let’s not talk about it, let’s just say that she has never had anything, and now her life is better than her mother’s, so she is very proud.

People don't have to be rich to help and help others.As long as her life is a little bit better than before, she is determined to help her sister, so that she can live like a human being.

What she is looking for is not great wealth, but peace of mind.

Lily also put a piece of egg pancake into her mouth, one mouthful of pancake and one mouthful of porridge, it tasted very sweet.
