Hearing Cui Hu's voice, Jia Hua smiled and then hugged her sister to the bed.
Cui Hu hesitated for a while, took out half a pancake from his pocket and handed it over, "Daughter, you can eat what daddy secretly hid."
Jiahua looked at the pancake, followed the pancake to the skinny fingertips and wrists, and finally met her father's cautious and flattering gaze. Her chest felt tight and her nose felt sore. She couldn't bear it anymore, so she took the pancake and said
: "Thank you, Dad."
She complained that her father did not do anything at home and allowed her mother to suppress her, but her father was good to her and her sisters... She felt so aggrieved.
Jiahua whispered: "Dad, you should keep the pancakes for yourself from now on. You still have to work in the fields. You can't do it until you're full."
Cui Hu grinned, "Don't worry, my dear, there is no work to do in Maodong now. Your mother has been getting along well with the Xiao family recently. I know that Doctor Tang doesn't like the harsh girl... Your mother actually saw me hiding it secretly."
Cake, I didn’t say anything.”
This is true.
Since the Xiao family took root in Jiuli Village, many people have been rushing to curry favor and cater to Doctor Tang's hobbies. After all, anything leaked from Doctor Tang's fingers can benefit them, not to mention that she will expand her business in the future and take the lead.
What we are considering are the villagers of Jiuli Village.
The Xiao family has been harvesting vegetables. Many people feel that growing vegetables has a future, and plan to set aside one-third of an acre of land next year to grow vegetables instead of grains. The money earned from growing vegetables can be used to buy grains, which can save a lot of trouble.
.
The cycle of vegetables is much shorter than that of grain, and they are easy to feed. Someone asked Tang Zangyue whether to harvest leeks in the future. After all, leeks grow after one crop. The latter's answer was: Harvest.
In this way, life in Jiuli Village will be better. Even if they don't help the Xiao family and sell vegetables to the Xiao family, they can still save surplus food throughout the year.
Like a house flower.
At the beginning, she was very afraid of strangers, hiding from the children in the village, and her long hair covered her eyes without realizing it. It was her cousin Tiehua who brought her into contact with Sister Ling, and she gradually came out of the shadows.
It turns out that it’s the man’s fault that he can’t give birth to a son——
From now on, she doesn't have to worry that not being able to give birth to a son is her own problem.
There is no distinction between high and low. As long as she is free and does not sign the deed of sale, she will die violently and no one can do anything to her.
So, as the one who did the most work, she started to protest with her mother.
At first, Mrs. Cui was cursing and wanted to hit someone, but the lady became bolder and faced Mrs. Cui's slap. She didn't hide, choked her neck and said: "Mistress, you can hit me! It's better to beat me and my mother to death! Just don't do it."
Even if we are beaten to death, we will be exhausted from these jobs! We have died a hundred times, but if you, grandma, have the same reputation as Granny Chen, then it will be difficult not only for your father to marry, but also for your grandson to marry! Chen
No matter what my mother-in-law did, she would never kill her granddaughter, but you are different! You are even better!"
Since then, the four houses have been turned over, and the housework has been done in turn by the daughters-in-law of several houses.
As Sister Ling's son taught the family, if you kill your daughter-in-law these days, the whole family will be labeled as ruthless, let alone a family that won't even let go of your granddaughter. Mrs. Cui really dared to do this. What follows?
The clan uncle was the first to speak out against it and expelled the Cui family from the family tree.
Even afterwards, Tiehua was shocked and even asked her if Sister Ling taught her.
Jiahua didn't say anything. She was not stupid enough to confess Sister Ling. When Tiehua saw this, she also snorted, "I know even if you don't tell me, your temper is exactly the same as that of the third aunt. You can't think of anything at all."
Defiant milk. But..."
Tiehua winked at her coquettishly, "Isn't it great?"
"ah?"
"Fuck grandma. Isn't it great?"
Jiahua recalled the scene at that time, and the depression that had been accumulated in her chest for several years seemed to be released all at once——
It's really cool.
It's a pity that after the temporary relief, except for the housework being distributed to other houses, nothing else changed much.
After all, no matter how noisy the family is, they are still children. They have not established their parents in this house, so whatever they do or say is useless.
My mother is still as weak and uncontested as before, and my father is also tolerant to the other uncles, but he is a little more flattering to their sisters.
she--
Don't want such flattery.
She is not that heartless, selfish child. Her father is so tired outside, yet he still has to please them in his own room...
Who do you think she is?
But she, and... just like the words Sister Ling described, she summarized the conflicting feelings in her heart into: being angry and refusing to fight.
Yes, she was very angry at her father's behavior.
Jiahua sighed, Cui Hu's words brought her thoughts back.
"Jiahua, what were you laughing at just now?"
Jiahua then showed a sincere smile, "Ling'er's birthday is coming soon."
…
The rice wine made by Tang Zangyue is quite good.
When she took a sip, there was a faint aroma of wine, which was very sweet. If added to water, it would not be cloying.
Tang Zangyue has been kneading glutinous rice flour since she woke up early in the morning. As for the fillings of glutinous rice balls, there are dried fruit fillings, sesame fillings, and crushed peanut fillings.
Roll each glutinous rice ball into a very round and festive shape, and put it in the pot when the water boils.
Finally, scoop out a few tablespoons of rice wine, which is called glutinous rice wine in the south.
When it comes out of the oven, I add brown sugar to it and smell the faint aroma of wine.
Xiao Zhonghao put his head together, looking very obsessed, "Grandma, what did you do?"
"You have eaten rice balls with fermented rice wine before? But the ingredients are not complete. Grandma only makes them with a few kinds of fillings."
I'm talking about when I was in the General's Mansion.
Rice dumplings!
Each bowl also has a poached egg nestled inside.
Sister Ling likes snacks the most, and she also likes sweets very much, otherwise her chin would not be so round.
She finished a bowl and still wanted it. Aunt Liu took the bowl and helped Sister Ling to scoop it out.
Tang Zangyue doted on the children openly, so Aunt Liu secretly doted on them. The children said nothing but murder and arson. Aunt Liu's delicate body could even carry a knife and raise a torch to rush forward.
Tang Zangyue held up her forehead to stop her, "These meatballs are made of glutinous rice. It's not easy to digest if you eat too much. Sister Ling is already fat. Do you still want her to be fatter? You'd have to be so fat that you can't walk, right?"
Sister Ling:!!!(⊙⊙)
Grandma! She's still here!
She's right next to you!
Sister Ling was angry, her cheeks were bulging, and she corrected: "Grandma! I'm not fat!"
Tang Zangyue didn't even blink her eyelids, indicating that she didn't hear it, and continued to say to Aunt Liu: "I'll just get another poached egg."
Woo woo woo...
As if hearing Sister Ling's fake cry, Tang Zangyue paused and sighed: "Forget it, have you finished eating the snacks at home? Let's make some more. I really can't give this to Sister Ling anymore. The child's gastrointestinal
It's not like you don't know." After that, he said sharply to Sister Ling: "That's almost enough! Who can you show the cat urine you squeezed out? Isn't it enough to see?"
Sister Ling, who was so frustrated that she couldn't help but feel loveless, finally stopped pretending to cry and turned her head away with an expressionless face.
She doesn’t want to lose face!
The others listened and smiled.
Even Aunt Liu suppressed her laughter and promised: "I understand, old lady."
