Chapter 35

Shen Qinghe's face was dark, and there was faint anger in his voice: "The cellar is under pressure, and the beams cannot be moved for a while. I guess we will only eat sweet potatoes tonight."

After finishing speaking, he sneered: "I don't know if that little thief still has some conscience, and left us a bag of sweet potatoes."

Aunt Qin's eyes were already red, and she cursed in a low voice: "This man is really a son of a bitch, if he still does these immoral things at a time like this, he won't be afraid of choking to death if he grabs food from the confinement woman."

Mrs. Zhou also glanced at her sleeping sister-in-law. For a while, she felt somewhat uncomfortable. When a woman is in confinement, she must not be sloppy. If she can't sit well, she will be sick. They were all eating white flour and new rice, who would have thought that they would suffer a crime when they came to their sister.

I was frightened last night, but now even a good amount of food has been scoured by wicked thieves.

In the end, there was really no other way, Shen Qinghe felt sorry for his wife, and ran around trying to borrow some from those who had fine grains at home, but in the end, they couldn't borrow any.

After all, whoever shows a little bit of wealth at this time is easy to be targeted by others.

Seeing Shen Qinghe come back drooping, Aunt Qin also understood, and only asked him to get some salt and sesame oil back home, without fine grains, adding some sesame oil and salt to sweet potatoes is more delicious than boiled.

But Mrs. Zhou suddenly remembered something, told Aunt Qin and hurried to Nanzhi.

Seeing Nan Zhi talking to the dog, he opened his mouth a little embarrassedly: "Sister Nan Zhi, I have something to ask of you."

Nan Zhi looked at the awkward Zhou Shi for a moment. She didn't understand why Zhou Shi would look for her, so she nodded and agreed, "Sister Zhou, tell me what you want."

"I, my sister-in-law is in confinement now, but the food at home is gone. I want to ask you to borrow some."

Mrs. Zhou was a little nervous when she spoke. Although Nan Zhi had been married for five years, the two of them had no friendship on weekdays. She suddenly came up to borrow grain, but she still wanted to borrow fine grain. No matter how you looked at it, she seemed to be bullying the orphans and widows.

After waiting for a while and not hearing Nan Zhi's reply, Mrs. Zhou felt a little lost, and just as she was about to thank her and go back, she heard Nan Zhi speak.

"I only have Chenmi at home, but I have some other things for the confinement mother-in-law."

After hearing this, Zhou's eyes widened in surprise. She thought that Nanzhi would not agree, but they said that there were other things suitable for the younger siblings to eat.

"Just wait for a while, I didn't bring anything out, I'll go home and get it for you."

Mrs. Zhou nodded quickly and agreed to wait here for a while.

Nanzhi said a few words to Gou'er before returning home with his changed clothes.

Dried scallop porridge is nourishing for confinement women. Although it is not as good as scallops and scallops, there are many benefits as long as you don’t eat too much.

Thinking about it, Nanzhi packed a handful of scallops and a bowl of old rice, hesitated for a while before leaving, and then grabbed two wild crucian carp from the wooden barrel that the dog caught a few days ago.

Aunt Qin's family has helped her a lot with crucian carp soup, so this idea is nothing.

Before going out, Nanzhi still didn't forget to lock the door carefully. After all, if he was not afraid of [-] yuan, he was afraid of the eventuality. If Zhao Si and the others thought about being extinct, wouldn't it be easier to bully him as an orphan and widow?

Mrs. Zhou paced back and forth, feeling a little worried. After all, her mother-in-law ordered her not to borrow food from Mrs. Lin. If she went back with her things, she wondered if her mother-in-law would scold her.

"Auntie is back."

The dog was already a little dazzled by Mrs. Zhou walking back and forth, and when he saw his mother's figure from a distance, he waved happily.

Nanzhi felt a little funny when he saw the dog waving under the tree, and was worried that he was pulling the injury on his hand, so he could only speed up his pace.

"Sister Zhou, you know the situation of my family. These old rice should be enough for two days. These dried mussels are washed and mixed with old rice to make porridge. Pack more."

Mrs. Zhou felt grateful in her heart after receiving the grain bag. There were so many "relatives" in Lihua Village, none of them were willing to hold hands. In the end, they had to rely on the orphans and widows to borrow grain.

"Thank you, girl."

"Sister Zhou, there are two crucian carp here. I thought the cow turned over so loudly last night. I'm afraid that little sister Zhou didn't rest well all night. My natal family has a folk prescription, which says crucian carp can produce milk after drinking soup. , you take it back and clean it up, make some soup for Miss Zhou to drink."

Mrs. Zhou was stunned for a moment, her eyes turned red when she saw the two crucian carp that Nanzhi handed over.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhou didn't respond, Nanzhi thought it was because she didn't know how to deal with the fishbone, and added: "This fish has thorns, you can find a clean cotton cloth to wrap the fish, so that the boiled soup can be drunk directly. "

"Hey, hey, that's true, thank you very much." Mrs. Zhou didn't know what mood she was in, she just felt a little trembling when she spoke, carefully wrote down what Nan Zhi said, and thanked you several times. Just left with these things.

Seeing Zhou's leaving, Gou'er tugged at Nan Zhi's sleeve, and said coquettishly, "Aniang, I just had a baby. After a while, Gou'er misses Aniang."

The little baby acted coquettishly and his voice was soft, Nanzhi laughed straight when he heard it, hugged the dog and kissed his little face before saying: "The dog is so good, I will make fish soup for you when I get home tomorrow .”

The dog smiled and said yes.

The two girls began to tease each other again.

Aunt Qin was still worried at first, but last night the cow turned over and little Zhou was shocked. Today's milk is not enough, and now there is no fine grain, and she doesn't know if her little grandson will be able to eat today.

As a result, Mrs. Zhou came back with a bag in one hand and two crucian carps four fingers wide in the other.

"You are..."

Mrs. Zhou just handed the grain bag in her hand to her mother-in-law, "Mother, here is some old rice, you take it and boil it for your sister."

Mrs. Qin was a little surprised when she took the bag of grain. Qinghe borrowed grain everywhere but didn't get anything. Why did the Zhou family get back the old rice after a while?

When she opened the bag and saw the dried scallops inside, Aunt Qin suddenly realized that only the girl Nanzhi was handling this thing upside down. Looking at Mrs. Zhou standing aside with her head bowed and waiting to be scolded by herself, Aunt Qin sighed.

Although Mrs. Zhou didn't listen to her and went to Miss Lin to borrow food, but it was for the little Mrs. Zhou who was in confinement. If he still scolded her, he would appear to be harsh.

"It's hard work for you, go and rest."

Mrs. Zhou was originally waiting to be punished, but she was relieved when she heard that her mother-in-law didn't care about anything, and then raised the two crucian carp in her hand, "Sister Nanzhi said, this crucian carp can produce milk after drinking soup, give it to me." I have two. They said wrap them in a clean cotton cloth and stew them, so there will be no thorns."

After hearing this, Aunt Qin also felt a little surprised. She had eaten the fish in this river before. Not to mention the less meat and more thorns, it was a bit fishy, ​​but she didn't know that it could still produce milk.

If it is really useful, the younger daughter-in-law can also suffer less.

After nodding, he and Zhou began to work.

It was not until the fish soup was stewed, and the milky white soup wafted out the aroma, that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law tasted it before smashing it. This fish soup is so fresh, why didn't I know it before.

"It's also strange, this fish soup is so fresh, why hasn't Miss Nanzhi stewed it for the dog before, otherwise how could the dog be so small."

Mrs. Zhou relished the umami of the fish soup, and asked suspiciously.

Aunt Qin felt strange when she heard this, but she didn't say much, she just told Mrs. Zhou to take the casserole and leave quickly.

Although most of the families only took sweet potatoes and chestnuts from home as rations, some people even used this temporary stove to cook some soup.
