Chapter 57 Isn’t It Good to Have Enough Food to Eat?
Roe deer meat stewed with potatoes, a circle of big pancakes on the edge of the pot, then pick the tender hearts of the newly picked wild vegetables and blanch them in water. It's too hot in the summer, so it's better to eat some pickled vegetables to relieve the heat, cool down, and relieve boredom.
Every rural family pickles a lot of mustard pickles. When there are no vegetables, pickled vegetable strips can be eaten as vegetables.
She cut the mustard greens into thin strips. The seasoning at home is limited, not even soy sauce. She can only mix it with wild hair onions. It looks much better than just pickled vegetable strips and can arouse people's appetite.
Her meals are ready, and the people who went to work in the fields have returned. It's a good thing to have hot meals when you enter the door, and you don't have to do it yourself.
But Li Xiuqin was very angry. At noon, she was scolded by her sister-in-law for cooking and washing clothes. Why did she still do it at night?
She felt that Zheng Xinyue did it on purpose. The mother-in-law scolded her so that she could watch the fun and pretend to be a good person.
"Xinyue, why are you cooking again?"
Gao Guilan looked at her daughter distressedly. She took her daughter home to enjoy herself, not to let her be a little girl to serve two lazy women.
"Mom, I'm bored at home. Let me go to the fields with you tomorrow!"
Zheng Xinyue pulled Gao Guilan's arm and acted like a spoiled child. Before the space took effect, she wanted to be self-reliant and didn't want to be a parasite supported by others.
"Okay! You can only go for one morning. It's too hot in the afternoon and you can't stand it with your weak body."
Gao Guilan touched her daughter's face distressedly. If she didn't let her go, she would serve the family at home, which was more tiring than going to the fields.
"What are you two still standing there for? Let my daughter serve like a young lady?"
Seeing the two daughters-in-law standing there motionless, Gao Guilan was furious and directed at them.
Li Xiuqin looked at her sister-in-law with resentment. She was trying to please her in the morning! As a result, she was scolded twice because of her in one day.
I really want to beg her to stop doing anything and go back to the house to be a big lady.
When I went to the kitchen, I saw that there were big pancakes. Li Xiuqin curled her lips and said to Li Xiuli in a low voice: "If we dare to cook like this, Mom will peel our skins."
Li Xiuli's eyes flashed, and she didn't say a word. She was not happy! Isn't it good to have a full meal?
Do you have to be hungry and can't sleep at night to feel comfortable?
In the past, there were two meals of wild vegetable porridge in the morning and evening, and half a pancake at noon. Every day was just a forced life.
How good it is now. I eat dry food at noon and at night, and I can eat meat in a row. People should be content. If you are not content, be careful of being struck by lightning.
This meal made Li Xiuqin angry again. The meat was eaten by the men and the sister-in-law. She and the children didn't get any. After cleaning up the dishes in anger, she took the children back to the house.
When Li Xiuqin opened the door, she smelled a damp and rotten smell. Looking at the dark adobe wall, her anger rose.
Her family originally lived in the main house, which was a symbol of the family's status. The main house was warm in winter and cool in summer, unlike this house, which was damp and itchy.
"Mom, I'm itchy."
Tiechui came over and pulled her clothes to act coquettishly.
"Mom will boil water for you, and I'll wash it with mugwort later."
Li Xiuqin saw the red bumps on her son's body, and she couldn't suppress her anger.
"What's wrong with Tiechui?"
Zheng Chenglong took off his coat and followed in from outside the door wearing only a vest. Hearing what his wife said during the day, he also felt that he seemed to have gone too far. Seeing the bumps on Tiechui's body, he took the initiative to ask Li Xiuqin.
"It's because the house is too damp. How can the child bear it with his weak body? The same goes for my younger sister. If you don't tell me a few days in advance when you come back, I will open the windows and doors and let it go in the house, and it won't be so damp."
