"Go, of course go, prepare enough firewood at home, and see if there are any game and wild fruits. We won't be able to get anything when the mountains are closed by heavy snow."
"Daughter-in-law, Lele, come out and help."
Li Huan's voice appeared, and several women quickly took away their blankets, put on their coats and walked outside. They saw Li Huan and Shouhou each pulling a flatbed truck into the yard.
"Oh my god, where did you get so much coal?"
As soon as Cheng Qiao saw the coal, her heart moved. She also had an old-fashioned briquette stove in her space warehouse. If she put a briquette stove in the room in winter and put a pot on it, she could cook some soup and water to nourish the body.
Especially for Mother Li, Cheng Qiao has been quietly paying attention to Mother Li's health since the day she got married. Even though she usually has no problems, when it's windy or rainy or the temperature changes, she will inevitably catch a cold or have a fever.
Looking at what Li's mother ate, Li Le, Li Huan and himself put all the good things into their bowls, but he was reluctant to take another bite. This was obviously an empty base and he had to make up for it.
By the way, you can’t take supplements blindly. Why don’t you go to Uncle Ye and ask what you should eat for a body like your mother-in-law’s.
"I want to go to Uncle Ye's place."
"Daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you is why you need to see the village doctor."
"I think my mother's body foundation is too weak. I have a briquette stove and a pot here. I just want to make something delicious for my mother this winter."
"daughter in law……"
Li Huan's eyes grew hot. All the young daughters-in-law in the village wanted to take things out of their mothers-in-law. Some mother-in-laws with bad consciences were also thinking of ways to tease their daughters-in-law.
Only the relationship between his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is so harmonious, and the relationship between his sisters-in-law is as good as real sisters. How could he, Li Huan, have such a good mother and sister, and marry such a well-behaved daughter-in-law.
"Let's do it tomorrow. Let's unload the coal today. Skinny Monkey has to rush back."
"Then let me go get some food for the thin monkey. It's not easy."
"Well, wife, take the pheasant you shot yesterday to Shouhou. Just give him some simple food. Don't be tired."
"Mom, look at my brother, how sticky my second sister-in-law is. Oh, it's so miserable."
"Damn girl, I just learned Chinese characters from your second sister-in-law for a few days, and then I just used idioms blindly, and it's terrible, so why don't you just close your eyes?"
"Okay, I'll close my eyes. Oops, it hurts."
Li Le closed her eyes and walked towards the flatbed truck. She suddenly kicked the wheel of the flatbed truck with her toes, which made her scream out in pain, which made Mother Li so angry that the dead girl looked less and less like a girl.
"Lele, go wash the clothes."
Mother Li said with a straight face, although Shouhou was a regular guest in the family, he was still a young man after all, and his girl was too lively, which gave people a bad impression.
Of course, Shouhou knew what Li's mother was thinking. He glanced at Li Le secretly and went to move the coal with a smile. Li Le pouted, took a basin full of dirty clothes, went to the well in the next yard, and shook the windlass to draw water.
.
There is a wall between Li Huan's yard and Li's mother's yard. Li Huan opened a door on one wall of the yard. In this way, the two yards become one yard, making it convenient for people to come and go.
.
Li Le shook the wheel and brought up bucket after bucket of well water. The second sister-in-law brought out a lot of soap and told her to use it without fear. If there was not enough, she would go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy it.
Li Le looked at the dozens of neatly arranged soaps and marveled at how his second sister-in-law could have so many soaps, but she was no longer as restrained when using them.
The second sister-in-law likes to be clean, so she must wash the family's clothes cleanly so as not to let the second sister-in-law dislike it. She also takes advantage of the fact that the weather is not too cold yet, so she can wash the inside and outside of the house.
net.
After Li's mother and Cheng Qiao had moved the coal and cleaned the yard, they went to the kitchen to cook dinner. Skinny Monkey took a whole pheasant and some large white steamed buns that Cheng Qiao had brought out, kicked them in his arms and left quickly.
He was about to get ready. Brother Huan said that when the New Year pig was killed in the village, he would get some pork or something, and then he would be able to make a fortune again.
You must know that business is booming before the Chinese New Year. Everyone wants to have a good year, but there are not enough meat tickets, candy tickets, and cloth tickets, so the black market is their only option.
"Lele, why do you wash so many clothes?"
Cheng Qiao came to call Li Le for dinner and saw clothes hanging on the clothesline in the yard, and there were washed and unwashed clothes in the basin by the well.
"Second sister-in-law, you haven't been here a year yet. I didn't know that the winter here would freeze to death, so I took advantage of the fact that it's not too cold and washed everything that needs to be washed, so that I can have a good winter."
Cheng Qiao secretly sighed, how could she not know how cold the winter here is, but it doesn't matter if the weather is cold, people's hearts are colder than the weather.
"Eat first, and after that, my second sister-in-law will wash up with you."
"Hey, what are you eating today? Do you have that grilled sausage?"
Ever since he gave Li Le a piece of grilled sausage from the grocery store, Li Le remembered the taste and asked about it from time to time.
Cheng Qiao said it was difficult to make. She also got it by chance when she went to the county town. If she wanted to eat it, she had to get some casings, fill them with pork, and then slowly roast them on the fire. And there was no guarantee that the taste would be the same.
.
When Li Le heard that there was such trouble, the greedy man ran back automatically. Now that his second sister-in-law was at home, the food at home was obviously better. She couldn't be greedy.
"Daughter-in-law, do you want to eat grilled sausage? If you want to eat, I will go to the county to have a look and buy more if you can."
Cheng Qiao secretly rolled her eyes at Li Huan and said it as if it was true. If you are not greedy, huh, I won't give it to you.
"I don't want to eat it, it's too greasy."
Cheng Qiao shook her head. She really didn't want to eat it. Maybe it was because she was pregnant and the smell of grilled sausage made her feel a little uncomfortable.
"Since my wife doesn't want to eat it, Lele, you are not allowed to eat it either. If your second sister-in-law has a baby in her belly, it will harm your second sister-in-law if you eat it."
Li Huan spoke quickly, and Li Le was really shocked, waving his hands repeatedly and refusing to eat.
Mother Li's eyes lit up. It had been almost a month since Cheng Qiao married into the Li family. She might actually be pregnant with Li Huan's child. Thinking of this, she scolded Li Le with a straight face:
"What kind of sausage you want to eat? It depends on what you can do, or you might as well treat your mother like a sausage."
Li Le: "...#￥..."
"Second sister-in-law, if you really have a baby, can I help you take care of it when the baby is born?"
Cheng Qiao's nose ached when she heard this, she looked at Li Le with watery eyes, and nodded vigorously. In this life, she must protect Li Le, her children, and Li Huan.
Early the next morning, Li's mother stayed at home and was busy. Li Le went to the back mountain to chop wood and dig wild vegetables. There were also black fungus, hazel mushrooms, matsutake, and porcini mushrooms halfway up the mountain that she was looking for.
