As soon as Zhang's mother raised her head, she saw the ugly expression on her biological mother's face.
She had already heard from her daughter what happened in the past two days.
Hu Hongju's family's conditions are better than those in the production team, not only because her husband is the team's accountant, but also because her father is the accountant of the Wang'er production team. Every time she comes back from her parents' home, she is always packed with money.
After her daughter and Li Zhengguo broke off their engagement, she tried every means to marry her daughter into Accountant Li's family. It was really difficult for young men in Kushan to find a wife, otherwise Hu Hongju would not have agreed to the marriage.
She glanced at the people surrounding her daughter, raised her fingers and said, "It's all their fault. When they saw Fangcao falling backward, they not only didn't reach out to help her, but also stepped back, causing Fangcao to fall.
Already."
The few women around were unwilling. They would never take the blame.
"Bah! Your daughter was standing next to you talking and laughing. You didn't know why you were crazy. Suddenly you stretched out your hand and pushed her, causing her to fall back uncontrollably. Why should others hold her up? Fortunately, I didn't help her.
, if this one is not held firmly, the shit basin will be held firmly on your head."
"Even if you don't look at your daughter's character, who would want to get close to her? It would be unlucky to meet her."
"You pushed her yourself, and you blame others for not helping her? Why didn't you tell her why you pushed her?"
"Yes, we saw your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talking to her, and why did they suddenly fall out?"
Zhang's mother also retorted, "It's just your fault. If you just stretched out your hands, wouldn't everything be fine?"
Hu Hongju rubbed her chest. The breath she had been holding for the past two days was uncomfortable in her chest.
Now that her in-laws can still say such shameless words, let her understand what it means to be like mother, like daughter.
"Shut up, you pushed Fangcao yourself, and you blame others for not helping you. Only you, the Zhang family, can say such shameless words. I feel so ashamed. Why were you blind in the first place? Patriot, hurry up.
Come and take your wife to Dr. Yang."
Hu Hongju had already seen her youngest son squeezing over and hurriedly called him over. These women were talking and talking, which wasted a lot of time, but looking at the amount of blood, they probably couldn't save it.
…
Li Zhengguo carried the pork and walked home quickly. He didn't know what was happening behind him. Even if he knew, he wouldn't stop going home.
The Li family's kitchen is steaming pumpkins. The smell of pumpkins that Tian Jing has spawned with wood-type powers is really mouth-watering.
Facing the heat emanating from the side of the pot, Li Min sniffed hard. It was so fragrant, like yesterday's wild vegetables. It seemed that the fragrance of the food was stronger than usual.
She couldn't tell, but it was very fragrant and she wanted to eat it.
Li Zhengguo carried the pork into the kitchen and saw his sister's greedy look. He also smelled the rich pumpkin fragrance, which was more fragrant than the pumpkin in his memory.
He looked at Tian Jing, who was looking at the pork, and his mind could only change, "Tiantian, is the pumpkin in this pot steamed enough?"
When Li Min heard this, he became anxious and said, "No more, no more, just steamed two."
After steaming two, it's still called not much? But smelling the fragrance, Li Zhengguo also knew why his sister didn't say much. He probably would have to eat a lot later.
"Then you cut two more and steam them, I will use them."
"Okay." Li Min went out of the kitchen to pick up the pumpkin, as long as her eldest brother didn't snatch the pot from her.
Li Zhengguo whispered in Tian Jing's ear, "The captain said there is no need to hand in the pumpkins. I originally wanted to send two away, but this smell..."
"It doesn't matter, you just decide."
Li Min came in holding a pumpkin. Li Zhengguo changed the topic and pointed at the things he brought back, "Are these going to be cut out?"
"Well," Tian Jing nodded, "You don't need to cut these, I need the ingredients."
"you say."
"Panthoxylum bungeanum, aniseed, soy sauce, ginger, onions, garlic, and a little white wine. Can you borrow a pumpkin?"
Tian Jing knew that those who had these things were either the captain's family, the butcher's family, and then the accountant's family.
The accountant is my uncle. I already talked about that yesterday. I definitely can't borrow it anymore, and I have to pay it back. Remember to ask Li Min about this.
"Okay." Li Zhengguo went out to borrow something.
Li Min came in with the second pumpkin in his arms. After cutting it, he carefully collected the seeds.
"Sister-in-law, do you think if these melon seeds are planted next spring, will they be able to bear such a big pumpkin and have such a fragrant taste?"
"I don't know." Tian Jing rolled his eyes, "Li Min, won't anything be planted after the autumn harvest in Kushan?"
"Yeah, don't look at it. The weather is not bad now. As long as it rains, it will get cold immediately." Li Min was talking and his hands were working non-stop. "Don't you want to grow pumpkins?"
"Yes." Tian Jing nodded.
Li Min poured cold water on her, "Don't dream. Pumpkins and loofahs in summer and autumn only have small melon eggs. We are worried about them, but they just don't grow, and it's even less likely in winter."
"Then I'll give it a try. I won't be convinced if I don't try. Besides, I don't plan to plant it outside. I want to plant it inside the house."
When Li Zhengguo comes back, I will assign him work. Seeing that he is doing quite well in carpentry work, I think it should be okay if I want a few wooden boxes, right?
"Plant it in the house?" Li Min's work finally stopped, "How to plant it in the house?"
"Ask your brother to help make something this afternoon. After it's done, just watch what I do." Tian Jing didn't want to explain.
"Okay, then I won't be polite to you. I can learn as much as I can from you."
The sister-in-law asked her to look at it, and Li Min knew that this was another opportunity for her to steal from her master.
Li Min shoveled the pumpkins on the bamboo drawer in the pot into the basin, added water under the drawer, placed the washed pumpkins on the drawer, covered the pot and added firewood.
"Let's go, sister-in-law, let's go have a meal and then work after eating. We will be even busier this afternoon. I'm full of energy."
Li Min was holding a basin in her hand and called Tian Jing. She couldn't wait to eat. She had a lot of work in the afternoon and was anxious.
"immediately."
Tian Jing placed the clay pot used for kneading noodles on the meat and liver on the chopping board to prevent it from being stolen by wild cats and dogs.
It’s inconvenient if there is no courtyard wall. We need to ask Li Zhengguo to enclose the courtyard wall. There is also a kitchen with ventilation everywhere. How can we cook in winter?
After Li Zhengguo borrowed what Tian Jing needed, he found that everyone in the family had already started eating, and no one wanted to wait for him. The pumpkin was too fragrant.
Two large pumpkins weighing more than ten kilograms will shrink after steaming, but they still weigh at least twenty kilograms.
An ordinary-sized wooden tub for washing vegetables was filled with steamed pumpkins, which were eaten by four people, not even the pumpkin skin was left.
Li Min patted his belly and said, "I'm so full. I haven't eaten enough in many years."
Tian Jing took the opportunity to ridicule her again, "You have listened to good words for so many years, but you don't care if your stomach is full?"
"Sister-in-law, I was wrong, can you give me some face?" Li Min has already figured out Tian Jing's temper, and he will accept softness rather than hardness.
"Okay, you go do the work quickly and I won't mention it anymore."
