After her mother's family went out, Shen Su'e said something to her husband, telling him not to worry about her, as she would definitely be able to take good care of Lingbao.
"The eldest brother and sister-in-law are fine, it's just their daughter-in-law..."
"Can I still be afraid of her?" Shen Su'e laughed, "Even when you were paralyzed in bed and the family's money was all taken care of by the boss, second wife and daughter-in-law, I wasn't afraid, let alone now. I don’t have to count on them to eat.”
Jiang Qingshan nodded, "That's right. It doesn't matter what the fuss was like just now. This way, if you eat separately, it won't be easy for you to have conflicts."
"Yes, I originally thought that Lingbao, Tugen, and I were not good at eating noodles and meat, so I thought I would let my eldest brother and the rest of the family eat together. These twenty kilograms of flour probably won't last long, but now it seems Ah, if we only live here for half a month, this white flour will be enough for us to eat." Shen Su'e said.
After saying these words, she picked up the flour and bacon again, "Okay, I'm going to make breakfast. You can rest."
"Mother, Lingbao will help you light the fire."
"I'm going too." Tugen followed her aunt.
After they left, Jiang Qingshan gave celery and sauerkraut to his wife. Then he returned to the house and found an old bamboo broom on the second floor. He swept the floor first, then wiped the table and wooden bed, and finally wiped the quilt. Spread on the bed.
At this time, in the hall, the Shen family was sitting around the Eight Immortals table having breakfast.
"Mom, why is it that only Dexi's cornstarch is sweet?" Deshun pouted, "The salty one doesn't taste good. I also want to eat the one with added sugar."
"Dexi is my sister, you are the brother, you have to take care of your sister."
"Then Dele and Dehuan are also sisters. The corn paste they eat is not sweet," Shen Deshun said unhappily, "It's really unfair!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his father knocked him on the head, "As long as you can eat it, really, if you don't like salty food, ask your mother not to add anything to you in the future."
Dexi smiled and made a face at her brother, "Slightly, slightly..."
Seeing her giggling, Shen Dexi said calmly, "Humph! Dad, you are partial, and so is mother. I think what my eldest aunt just said was right. Dexi is just uneducated. She never screams My brother always bullies me."
"What are you talking about? That aunt of yours has a bad mind and talks nonsense. What are you going to learn from me? Don't talk about my sister like that!"
Thinking of what Shen Su'e had just scolded, Wang Chunmiao still felt angry.
She frowned and said, "From now on, you should stay away from your aunt and the two children she brought with her. You are not allowed to play with them, do you hear me?"
Deshun reluctantly agreed, "If I don't play with them, can I eat cornstarch with sugar tomorrow?"
"You ghost...okay, okay, mom promises you that she will add some sweets to you tomorrow, okay?"
After Wang Chunmiao said this, her eldest brother's youngest son became anxious, "Mom, I also want to eat sweet corn paste. I have never eaten anything with sugar..."
Hearing him making a fuss, Liao Guifen frowned in displeasure and said, "Why are you making such a fuss? What did mother teach you before? Eat well and don't talk!"
Shen Zhaogui and De Shun are the same age. He curled his lips and said, "De Shun and De Xi chatter every day while eating. I am the only one who can't speak."
His elder brother, Zhao Ping, was thirteen years old. He had already finished the cornstarch in his bowl. He stood up and said, "Grandpa, grandma, mom and dad, I'm going to school."
"Ah?" Liao Guifen said anxiously, "Wait for your brother, there are Deshun and Dexi."
Zhao Ping picked up the old school bag on the chair, slung the strap over his shoulder, and said expressionlessly: "They eat too slowly, and they will be late if they stay late."
Seeing him walking straight out the door after saying that, Shen Zhaogui said anxiously: "Brother, wait for me, I'm going to finish eating soon...Brother..."
Before he could continue, his brother had already left the courtyard.
After casually popping two more mouthfuls of cornstarch into his mouth, Shen Zhaoping put on his schoolbag and hurried out the door, shouting, "Brother, wait for me!"
"Oh, it's true in Zhaoping. Why are you leaving in such a hurry? I don't want to wait for my younger brothers and sisters. We still have to walk for an hour to go to school."
After Wang Chunmiao finished speaking, she touched her daughter's head and said, "Dexi, please eat slowly. It's okay. Mom will send you and your brother to school later."
"Mom, are there any more?" Dexi finished a bowl of cornstarch and licked the edge of the bowl, "I'm not full, I still want to eat."
"The pot is gone, there's still half a bowl here..."
With that said, Wang Chunmiao poured the cornstarch from her bowl to her daughter, "It's your first day at school. Eat well and study hard. Do you understand? Your grandma said you are lucky and will definitely be successful in the future, mother." I’m counting on you too.”
"Mom, don't worry. I am a lucky baby. I will definitely be able to work in a factory as a worker in the future, so that my parents and grandparents can eat commercial food."
"Okay, okay," Wang Chunmiao said with a smile, looking at the red birthmark on her daughter's forehead, "Eat quickly, eat enough."
Under her mother's gaze, Dexi took a mouthful of corn paste with a spoon, put it into her mouth, and frowned in disgust, "Eh, it's salty..."
"Mom, this bowl is salty, so just make do with it," Wang Chunmiao said.
"The salty taste is not good. This is too salty to taste bitter. I like sweet food. Mom, why don't you go get me some more sugar? I want to put sugar in it."
Wang Chunmiao looked embarrassed, "This..."
After being teased by her daughter for a while, she looked at her mother-in-law and asked, "Mom, can I get some more sugar?"
"Grandma, I want some candy, grandma..."
"Hey," Zhao Cuilan sighed, "go get her some more candy."
When she said this, her eldest daughter-in-law, Liao Guifen, frowned and was about to say something when her husband grabbed her arm and shook her twice.
"Forget it, just bear with it." Shen Guisheng whispered.
Liao Guifen gritted her teeth, suppressed her temper and remained silent.
"Haha, grandma is the best!" Dexi said happily and urged her mother, "Mom, go and bring me the sugar. I want to add two spoons of sugar."
Wang Chunmiao said "Okay" in a loving and helpless tone, got up and walked to the kitchen. She smelled the aroma of bacon and swallowed her saliva with greed.
Shen Su'e made the simplest noodles without resting them. After kneading the dough into long strips, she cut the strips into small noodle pieces with a knife, soaked them in water for two or three minutes, then stretched and thinned them, and threw them away. Into the scalding hot water.
When the noodles were almost cooked, she put the bacon that had been blanched in water into the noodles. After taking it out of the pot, she added some chopped celery and sauerkraut.
"Wow, daddy also brought celery?" Lingbao said with a smile.
"Yes," Shen Su'e put the noodles in a big basin and said while ladling the soup, "the noodles are cooked, go and ask your dad to come over and eat."
"Okay!" Xiao Lingbao nodded, turned around to find her father, and found that the aunt who had quarreled with her mother before was standing at the door of the kitchen.
After eating a few pieces of pork on New Year's Day, Wang Chunmiao never tasted oil or water since then. She smelled the aroma of bacon and kept inhaling. She felt that bacon was too fragrant.
"Mom, where's my sugar? Why don't you give it to me?" Dexi ran outside the kitchen before his mother came back for a while.
The moment she smelled the bacon, she couldn't help but take a deep breath, "It smells so good! Mom, what does this smell like? I want to eat it!"
