Chapter 220

At noon, Tian Shao was in charge of the spoon.Li Guihua's culinary skills are actually not bad, but she is reluctant to add oil, soy sauce and other seasonings, so the taste of the dishes she makes is far worse.Not to mention the sisters, even Tian Dalin misses Tian Shao's cooking.Therefore, it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.

It took a lot of effort to make six dishes and one soup, braised pork in brown sauce, sweet and sour pork ribs, steamed fish, fried bacon with garlic sprouts, fried tofu wrapped meat, fried cabbage and stewed chicken with small mushrooms.

Li Guihua brought two small bowls with sweet and sour pork ribs and fried garlic sprouts with bacon.As for the missing chicken, every family will kill the chicken on New Year's Eve, so there is no need to send it away.

Wuya carried the basket and walked lightly to the old house.

Xu Zhaodi wanted to pick her up, but she avoided her: "Grandma, grandma, I'm here to deliver the food."

Mrs. Tian came out of the kitchen to pick up the basket, looked at the bright red and oily sweet and sour pork ribs and asked, "What is this?"

Wuya said with a smile: "Grandma, these are sweet and sour pork ribs, made by my elder sister. Besides oil, there are also sauce, vinegar and sugar in it. It's delicious. Grandma, I'm sure you'll want to eat it again after eating it."

Mrs. Tian took the two dishes into the kitchen, then returned the bowl to Wu Ya: "What's for dinner?"

Wu Ya was not angry either, and said: "My mother said, after eating so much meat at noon, I eat vegetable porridge at night to clear my stomach."

Mrs. Tian felt that Li Guihua was becoming more and more stingy, but after making an agreement, she would not make trouble again.You can't get anything if you make trouble, but if you win the bet, you will have 180 catties of grain and 30 yuan in one year.With this money, she could marry Erli a wife after two years of savings.

For Chinese New Year, no matter how poor this day is, there is meat and fish on the table. Tian Erlin's family also made braised fish, braised pork with preserved vegetables, and stewed whole chicken.

When everyone was at the table and ready to eat, Xu Zhaodi got up and asked the kitchen, "Mother-in-law, where are the dishes from Wu Ya?"

Mrs. Tian promised Tian Shao not to share the dishes with them, so she dared not bring them to the table, so she just put some in the bowl: "Dalin told Li Guihua that I can only eat the dishes they brought, if I won’t bring you food after I serve you.”

Tian Dali was unhappy, and said: "Grandma, my aunt has told me about this many times, why should you take it seriously."

Tian Erlin also said: "Yes, mother, let's eat ours, and don't let them know that it's okay."

"This time is different."

As for why it was different, she couldn't say, she could only grit her teeth and say that she could only eat the food.But after taking a bite of sweet and sour pork ribs, she fell in love with it.

Li Guihua is not a very generous person, so she picked up five of the smallest ones.But the bones are crispy and crispy, and the old lady can still bite with her teeth.

Sanli was unhappy, and said, "Grandma, I want to eat too."

Mrs. Tian grabbed her without giving it to her. The ten-year-old boy was so strong that he almost pushed her to the ground.In the end, Tian Sanli made a mistake not only did not apologize, but also felt aggrieved: "Whoa, if grandma didn't give me meat, I wouldn't push him."

Old Mrs. Tian was about to die of anger, why not give him meat?If I could give it, I would have given it long ago.Thinking about giving all the delicious food to her grandchildren in the past, she was not willing to take a bite, but this time she complained because she didn't give it to her, which made her feel uncomfortable.

Seeing her stern face, Xu Zhaodi said immediately: "Mother, Sanli didn't do it on purpose, so don't argue with him."

Old lady Tian was so angry that she almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Unlike Tian Erlin's family, Tian Shao's side is full of joy.San Kui ate a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs, and praised: "Cousin, this meat is delicious. Cousin, your cooking skills are getting better and better. Uncles, aunts and cousins ​​are really lucky."

Tian Shao knows her own background, her cooking skills can only be considered average, and the dishes are delicious, and she is willing to spare no expense.

Tian Dalin cheerfully poured himself a glass of wine, and then asked, "San Kui, would you like a glass?"

San Kui was astonished and asked, "Uncle, you let me drink?"

His family makes wine every year, but only three jars a year.His father is good at wine, he can't drink enough for himself, and the brothers don't even want to touch it.

Tian Dalin said with a smile: "You are old now, you can drink."

The main reason is that Tian Shao brought back a lot of wine, so he was willing to give Sankui a small glass, if it was replaced by him before, he would have given it to him if he thought it was too little.

Sankui hesitated for a while, but shook his head and said: "Wine is so precious, uncle, you'd better keep it for yourself! Or wait until my father comes out, and you can drink it with my father."

Well, Tian Shao thinks this kid is nice and very filial.

There is a custom here on New Year's Eve. The whole family must take a bath on this day, from head to toe, which means saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.With San Kui here, the heavy responsibility of carrying water is entrusted to him.

Tian Shao watched him pick up water without any complaints, a smile appeared on his face, this kid is very simple but his work is unambiguous.

In the afternoon, Siya pestered Tian Shao to tell her a story, but she didn't finish her homework.Then, Siya and Wuya were driven into the house to write, and she was also reading beside her.

Sankui looked speechless, and said to Li Guihua: "Sister-in-law, my cousin is too hardworking, she doesn't rest on New Year's Eve."

Li Guihua was already used to it, and said, "She can't be idle."

Tian Shao has not lost his horse for such a long time, thanks to Yuanshen being a good boy who works hard.Except for her physical discomfort, she seized all her free time to study.For this perseverance, few people can match it.

After finishing dinner, Li Guihua distributed red envelopes to everyone.Tian Shao didn't get any red envelopes for the money he earned because of his work, but he got them from Sankui to Liuya.

Wu Ya opened the red envelope and saw that it was only two cents, she couldn't help complaining: "Mother, you gave too little."

"Give it back to me if you think it's too little."

It's still impossible to pay back, Wu Ya can only look at Tian Shao helplessly, the elder sister should not only give such a small amount now that she is generous.

The New Year's money that Tian Shao gave to everyone was [-] cents, which is considered a huge sum now.

Wu Ya's eyes narrowed into a smile, and she said, "It's better to be a big sister."

Li Guihua stepped forward and pulled her ears, and scolded with a smile: "You mean I'm not good? My old lady has worked so hard to bring you up, so you hate me if you don't give me enough New Year's money?"

Wuya ouch, yelled and begged for mercy: "Mother, I was wrong, I won't dare again."

Looking at Li Guihua's movements, Tian Shao knew that it was useless, so she smiled and watched the two fight.

Li Guihua had no objection to giving Erya a red envelope of [-] cents each. After all, the children would not spend the money recklessly, and finally used it for practical purposes.But she was worried that Tian Shao's hands would be loose, and she warned: "Our family is not rich, so just give two points to the children of relatives."

Tian Shao was speechless, she was not being taken advantage of, how could she give a [-] cent red envelope to relatives and children: "Don't worry, I will pay back whatever lucky money they gave me before."

Li Guihua immediately thought of Second Uncle Li, and she hurriedly said, "You still have to give. If you don't pay after a minute of work, you will say you are stingy."

What Tian Shao is most afraid of is gossip, what other people like to say, people have too many scruples in life, and life will be very tiring.
