take a wife to support the family

Chapter 52

There are some things that can only be said when the young couple are alone.Now that the girl is still there, why not just speak out?
Lily glanced at the solid-eyed fool, "Go and rest, let's make dumplings today."

The dumplings that catch the wind and the noodles that are blown by the wind (Note 1), the noodles are all about care, and the dumplings and Hemeimei are about reunion.To make dumplings, there must be meat and vegetables. Lily went into the kitchen to look around, gave Lamei money, and sent her to buy some leeks from the vegetable growers in the town, and then went to the butcher shop to cut two catties of meat back.

Leeks are troublesome to grow, but they are rarely eaten on weekdays. It just so happens that there are people in the town who specialize in growing leeks, and Lily does not grow them by herself.

Lamei took the money and ran out like flying. She felt that she was too redundant at home.Strange to say, the eldest sister and brother-in-law didn't talk much, one was doing things normally, and the other just stared at her intently, which made Lamei feel flushed for no reason.

There were more than two hours before dinner time, Lamei was not in a hurry, she went to buy a catty of leeks slowly, and then went to the butcher shop to weigh the meat.

The butcher Song Dagui saw Lily bringing winter plums to buy meat every day, so he had already gotten acquainted with each other, and said with a smile, "Sister of the Li family, are you buying ribs again?"

Lamei shook her head and said in a low voice, "No ribs this time, but lean meat, mixed with fat." This is what Lily taught her, and she said it very fluently.

Song Dagui was taken aback, and quickly figured out the reason: "Have you come back from the Chinese New Year?" He cut off a piece of good lean meat, weighed it, and said with a smile, "The extra will be spared. , I’ll talk to brother Danian later.”

Here Lamei is walking home slowly with vegetables and meat. Lily at home has already kneaded the noodles. She used the white noodles that she can’t bear to eat on weekdays. It is chewy and white. Serve noodles.

Song Haonian went to sleep without listening to Lily, his sister-in-law was still living at home, and the two buckwheat pillows on the bed belonged to his wife and sister-in-law.

My brother-in-law is sleeping next to my sister-in-law's pillow, what's the matter?Song Haonian is a person who knows how to avoid suspicion, so he would not do such unethical things.

Besides, the daughter-in-law and the family have changed a lot now, he is too busy just looking at his eyes, how can he be willing to go to sleep?

The house is still the three thatched houses, but it has a lot of human touch.In the yard and in the vegetable field next to the house, there are some vegetable seedlings growing neatly, and it is known that his wife planted them without asking.

Originally there was only one bed in the bedroom, but now it is different. There is a wooden shelf in the corner, with a washbasin on top and a footbath on the bottom. A snow-white handkerchief is hung above the washbasin.

There are a few beautifully woven small baskets hanging on the wall, with some flowers and willow sticks inserted in them, Song Haonian can't tell what is particular about it, but he just thinks it looks good.

My daughter-in-law is so skillful...

The sheets and bedding were also replaced with new ones, and they were all washed clean and refreshing.The tables and stools were polished, without a speck of dust, and the seats were covered with rags, which were beautiful and practical.

There are even more changes in the kitchen. There are pots and jars along the corner, needless to say, they must be all kinds of vegetables pickled by lily. There are also some baskets and baskets hanging on the wall, which contain various dried wild vegetables and flowers...

If he didn't like to go home before, he thought it was deserted when he returned home, no one greeted him, he was naked and had nothing, which made people worry.

Now the house is full of little things added by Lily. It looks cumbersome, but interesting, and it doesn't look messy.The more he watched, the more he fell in love with him, and he deeply felt that his daughter-in-law was right, and that the big girl was born to live with him, Song Haonian!

The joy in his heart slowly rose, overflowed, spread to his face, and then turned into a happy smile and flowed to the corners of his lips... Song Haonian was so happy that he couldn't stand what to do, Lily kneaded his face on the table, he I just rubbed back and forth and wanted to talk to her, but I didn't know what to say when the words came to my lips, so I just smiled foolishly.

Lily got angry with him and said to him: "After these days of exhaustion, don't you want to take a good rest?"

"I'm not lacking at all!" Song Haonian patted his chest, expressing that he was still very energetic and wanted to see his wife for a while.

"You can watch it if you want." Lily hummed and continued to meet.

Song Haonian watched his daughter-in-law having fun for a while, then ran to fetch water diligently, filled the water tank in the kitchen, and scooped water to help Lily wash her hands.

Lily's hands are not big, with thin, white fingers.Song Haonian was so envious, he couldn't hold it back, held Lily's hand, salivated and said, "Daughter-in-law, let me help you wash your hands..."

His hand was held in his palm, Lily struggled for a while but did not break away, she laughed: "Then you wash it, I will blame you if you can't wash it clean."

The daughter-in-law is good in everything, but she is a bit soft-tempered, she doesn't speak harshly at all, and she needs to say hello in advance...

Lily thought that she was "super fierce" with raised eyebrows, but she didn't know that in Song Haonian's eyes, she was soft, not as hard as Song Xiuxiu was when she acted like a baby with his brother.

Finally touching his daughter-in-law's hand, Song Haonian was in a better mood and asked attentively: "Daughter-in-law, what else do you want to do, I will do it."

Lily said: "I'm going to pull out two cabbages, you'd better sit still and drink more water."

Her original intention was to tell Song Haonian to rest his feet and drink some water to relax. Unexpectedly, when he came back from pulling the cabbage, her dull husband said with a smile: "I've already drank three bowls of water, when will it be enough?"

lily:"……"

Is it really okay for my husband to be so dumb?Is it too late to reunite now?

Lily plans to make two kinds of dumpling fillings, one color leek egg, one color cabbage pork.Choose only the stalks of cabbage, chop them and sprinkle some salt to "kill" and "kill", and keep the leaves for cooking soup.

Cabbage has a lot of water, and it will precipitate out when it meets salt. If you don’t kill it with salt in advance, the vegetable juice will definitely soak the meat stuffing.

Let the cabbage stalks come out of the water slowly, and Lily walked to the door to have a look: "Why hasn't Lamei come back?"

Song Haonian thought to himself, if he doesn't come back, he won't come back, if his sister-in-law doesn't come back, he just happens to be getting close to his wife... Before he finished thinking about it, San Niu came back with meat and vegetables, and went into the kitchen without raising his eyes, afraid to see Seeing that the elder brother-in-law made some strange moves, it seemed like a needle's eye.

Pick out the dry and rotten leaves of leeks, wash and chop the green leaves one by one, exude a unique spicy aroma, and kill them with salt.Fry the eggs with lard, mix them with leeks, add some pepper noodles and salt to taste, and the leek egg filling is ready.

Chopping meat stuffing is a laborious job, Song Haonian didn't want his wife to be tired, so he volunteered to take it, chopped the meat stuffing finely and evenly, mixed with chopped green onions, seasonings, and shredded cabbage stalks that had already wilted after killing water and poured it together vigorously Stir, stir until it is a little bit vigorous, and it will be considered complete.

When Song Haonian was chopping the minced meat, Lily took part of the prepared dough, kneaded it into three-finger-thick strips with his hands, and then cut them into similarly sized pieces.

Hold a jelly in your left hand and rotate it continuously, and roll the rolling stick with your right hand, and in a blink of an eye, you can roll out a round dumpling wrapper that is thick in the middle and thin around the sides.

After rolling out five or six sheets, move them to Lamei. Lamei puts the dumpling wrapper in the palm of her hand, puts a ball of stuffing in it, squeezes her hands together, and a bulging ingot-shaped dumpling is formed.

Lily said while rolling out the noodles: "Be careful, and squeeze the sides tightly, otherwise it will fall apart as soon as it is cooked."

"I know." Lamei seldom makes dumplings at home, but she cooks a lot, and she is quite familiar with the things on the stove. It doesn't take Lily to say that she knows how to pinch the edges of the dumplings tightly.

As for Song Haonian?
He was happily chopping meat, thinking that everything his wife said was right.

The meat stuffing was chopped, and the leek and egg stuffing was almost used up. Lily adjusted the flavor of the meat stuffing, and asked Song Haonian to beat it in one direction with bamboo chopsticks. It seemed that he was about to start making cabbage and pork dumplings.

Lily and Lamei were both quick in their hands, and it didn't take long to wrap up two baskets of plump dumplings, and covered them with gauze to keep out the dust.

Send her husband and sister to wash their hands and see if the weather is about the same. Lily burns a large pot of water to boil the dumplings. .

While cooking the dumplings, she also specially prepared three bowls of dipping sauce.People at this time like to eat dumplings more than soup. She likes to dip them in since she was a child. After learning the secret recipe for delicious dipping sauces from her classmates in Sichuan, she has a special liking for dipping dumplings.

Garlic autumn oil, vinegar, garlic sprouts, coriander, and sesame seeds. The only pity is that there is no chili, which loses a lot of color.However, Song Haonian and Lamei still welcome this way of eating, and they praised it as delicious.

The pork filling is extremely delicious, with a small amount of fat mixed in it, making it even more plump.A large amount of cabbage and green onions dilute the oiliness of the meat and make the taste crispy.

Eat a dumpling stuffed with meat, and then eat a vegetarian dumpling. The eggs are mellow, and the leeks are slightly spicy, so delicious.

Lily and Lamei are not Miss Jiao, they have to work every day and eat a lot, Song Haonian is a strong guy, one pot of dumplings is not enough, Lily went to cook another pot, and left three bowls of dumpling soup to help digestion.

While drinking the soup, Song Haonian sighed, "It's better to be at home!"

It opened my eyes outside, and I saw everything I had never eaten or seen before.But no matter how good it is outside, where can there be such a good daughter-in-law, such a comfortable hot meal?

When a person travels far away, his heart is not settled, and his strings are tense. Only when he returns home and sees the person who can make him settle down, will the wandering soul return to him, and even his eyes will become gentle. .

After eating, Lamei became very nervous and almost hit the dishes while washing the dishes.Lily didn't say anything about her, she turned around and said to Song Haonian: "Take a break, you can make do with another place for the night."

Song Haonian was taken aback for a moment, then remembered that his sister-in-law was at home, it would be difficult for him to stay at home at night - otherwise, he couldn't ask his sister-in-law to go to another place to stay overnight, right?
But he really misses his wife... Song Haonian looked at Lily pitifully.

Heihu sometimes looked at her like this, Lily felt sore when he saw it, and she also knew that she was not doing it properly, but she had no choice but to push him hard: "I didn't expect you to do this. It’s time to come back, you just go and come back tomorrow morning for breakfast.”

"Hey!" Hearing that he could come back early for breakfast, Song Haonian finally pulled himself together and agreed to find a place to sleep for himself.
