When my uncle led him in, the little chicken was frightened out of his wits.

It is a local custom that when the son-in-law comes to the house, the chicken is stewed with mushrooms.

On the Yujia Kang table, there is a big rooster stewed with hazel mushrooms in the middle.

In addition to this dish, there are also braised carp, duck gizzards stewed with dried potatoes, stir-fried dried eggplant with minced meat, scrambled eggs with soy sauce, stir-fried pork liver and kidneys, fried in oil.

Xu Youliang, Yu Qiniang, and the brothers Dali and Xiaoli all stared at the food on the table.

They only knew that Ms. Lin insisted on cleaning up the table, but they didn't expect that she would be so willing.

You must know that Mrs. Lin has never been so extravagant. In the past, it was considered generous of her to have a meat dish.

In some respects, Yu Qiniang is just like her mother, Lin.

What's the reason for today? Let a man who can even grind corn cobs to make porridge cook so many delicious dishes.

Mrs. Lin wiped her hands with her apron and said with some embarrassment: "There is one more dish. Mom will make a chicken blood paste for you. What, Dali, drink with your brother-in-law, don't wait for me, you eat first."

After saying that, Ms. Lin turned around and went to the kitchen to continue her work with a smile on her face.

She is so happy today.

My daughter finally got pregnant after three years of marriage. The son-in-law in the uncle's family has gone from being a son-in-law whom no one is optimistic about to becoming the top uncle in every village in the country. It is difficult to find even a lantern.

If her Xiaoqin hadn't entered the Xu family early, and now she wanted to marry into the Xu family, she wouldn't know where to open the door. She knew what the people in the village were saying about her family. They were complaining that her daughter was not outstanding in all aspects and still had such a good life. Her husband's family had gone from a poor family to a famous and wealthy family in the blink of an eye. Those people felt a little unbalanced.

Someone who can talk will say that her daughter is blessed and that her husband's family is prosperous. It is said that some people marry without choosing anything. If they are lucky, their husband's family will become rich sooner or later if they are poor. Those who don't have that kind of good fortune, who have to pick and choose their family status, and are unprepared to marry into their husband's family, will gradually fall into poverty.

He couldn't speak, as if he was just waiting to watch the excitement. It was said that her uncle would change his mind sooner or later. Haven't you heard that sentence? Can we share the joys and sorrows together? When you were poor, what mattered most to your chosen wife was whether she was in good health and able to work. Could it be the same as the wife I want when I get rich? After getting rich, what you value is other things. Ask her Xiaoqin if she has anything else?

Her two uncles and sisters-in-law seemed to care about her, chatting with her like this on weekdays. She said that her daughter had a petty attitude and couldn't bear the burden of Lao Xu's parents and daughter-in-law.

Every time after chatting, Ms. Lin didn't say anything, but her heart was filled with panic. To be honest, she was still worried. I even thought wildly that if my uncle and my in-laws gradually change their minds, we might as well just live a prosperous life. If we remain poor, we won't change.

Unexpectedly, she finally got her long-awaited son-in-law today. When she saw with her own eyes that her uncle treated her daughter better than before. He was still so down-to-earth, he didn't show off even if he owned a car, and he treated her daughter better than he treated an ox cart. Mrs. Lin felt in her heart The big stone was finally put down.

She didn't care about the number of annual gifts, she only cared about the attitude of her uncle and her biological mother towards her daughter behind the annual gifts.

Seeing it with her own eyes this time, Mrs. Lin was overjoyed. If it weren't for the lack of preparations at home and the lack of pork knuckles, to be honest, she was so happy that she would have given the pork knuckles to her uncle to eat.

Xu Youliang looked at Yu Qinniang:

"No wonder people say that more children are not a treasure. We don't have these things to eat at home. It can't stop my mother from not talking to us. She is both a granddaughter and a grandson. It is a blessing to come to my mother-in-law's house. Come on, get off. Kang, help your mother-in-law with something. Don’t carry a baby in your belly, just work at your mother-in-law’s house, and then don’t do anything when you get to your mother-in-law’s house.”

"Hey." Yu Qiniang was happy to be criticized.

When her eldest brother stopped her, she pushed him away and insisted on getting off the kang to light the fire, "I'm going to learn how to make chicken blood paste with my mother. I heard that my grandma learned this dish in Guanli and taught it to my mother. Also. No one knows how to cook it, only my mother does. I learned how to cook it for my mother-in-law. If she says it’s delicious, my shop can make money by diversifying its dishes.”

Yu Dali then let him go, let's go and learn.

Yes, I will ask my mother later if she knows any other strange dishes and teach her to her. Although the possibility is low, but what if.

After all, the ancestors of the old Yu family had a glorious past and collected dung at the root of the imperial city.

"mother."

"Why are you out? Come in and eat."

"I'll help you light the fire."

The so-called chicken blood paste is to cut some minced green onion and minced coriander, use chicken hearts, chicken livers, chicken breasts and a pot of cooked chicken blood. Heat a pot of cold oil with a larger amount of oil. Put it together and stir-fry over high heat. Sprinkle it before taking it out of the pot. Some garlic sprouts.

Mrs. Lin waved the rice shovel and asked casually, "How did you cut your hand? Doesn't it hurt now?"

Yu Qiniang was stunned.

It turns out that this is how the body, hair and skin are affected by their parents.

She didn't do any work, and she didn't even stretch her hands when she got home, but her mother still noticed that she was injured at a glance.

"The house exploded. Tian Xin'er was staying there. I was shocked when I heard the letter and cut my hand. Later I found out that no one was hurt, only me."

Yu Qinniang was afraid that her mother would be worried, so she smiled and said:

"I'm screwed, I can't bear it mentally.

However, the pain has long since stopped, and my mother-in-law used powdered sugar to hold me down on the spot. Don't worry, my uncle Guan's doctor is here in my husband's village. Besides, Tian Xin is also studying medicine now. He always prepares all kinds of food for me to replenish my health, and also for her uncles.

I suspect that it took me three years to get pregnant because of the fish maw and milk. My husband’s family is eating so well now that my mother-in-law is willing to eat it.

Mom, you don’t know that your son-in-law also drinks supplements. Just for your son-in-law to drink till he pinches his nose. Not long ago, I changed the detoxifying decoction and improved it. Tian Xin said that they drank too much sewage while digging ditches, and they couldn't get rid of the irritation without detoxifying. "

"Yes, don't worry." Mrs. Lin saw that her son-in-law also had two hands, presumably for working.

She doesn't have much ability. To deal with many things such as her daughter's birth in autumn, she really depends on her in-laws to have many capable people.

In fact, she even wanted to raise a lot of chickens, ducks and geese this year, and she was really grateful to her in-laws for recruiting her family Dali, because Dali went to Erdaohe and caused a lot of trouble. On the other hand, it is also true that I will kill them all and give them to my in-laws to help my daughter warm their hearts.

After the two of them had fried the last dish and brought it into the room, Yu Qinniang told Mrs. Lin that Tian Xin had ordered a lot of scalpels and silver-needle scissors this year so that she could use new ones when she gave birth.

Mrs. Lin was so happy that they were all new? Oh, this is true. As the family becomes more prosperous, every aspect, including the treatment of childbirth, has undergone earth-shaking changes. In the past, I never dared to think that it would be great to have a new piece of cotton cloth to wrap the child.

I regret even more that I didn’t give away the New Year’s money I prepared. She is not worthy to be that little girl's grandmother, but she will definitely treat that child with the same heart as a grandmother.

"Why don't you bring the child? Do you really think that I prepared all this food and bought candy and melon seeds just for you? I wonder if you can really bring it to me."

Yu Qinniang laughed out loud and went into the room to complain to Xu Youliang: "Listen, my mother is telling the truth now. She was not prepared for us at all."

Xu Youliang had already drank two bowls of wine with Dali, and today he wanted to eat and drink well at his mother-in-law's house.

After eating and drinking, he lay down on the hot kang, hugged his brother-in-law Xiaoli and fell asleep, taking a good rest.

This blessing is not something that the two stinking younger brothers at home can enjoy. Who prevented those two from getting married?

But no, Xu Youcang and Xu Youyin were bored.

Xu Youyin was chatting with his second brother and said, "Third brother, do you think the second brother will show off when he arrives at Yujiazhuang?"

Xu Youyin added: "It's time to pretend. I have been suppressed for so many years, and my hands are full of big wounds from working, just for this day. Third brother, why don't you say anything?"

Xu Youcang: "You know how to ask and answer questions, why do you ask me?"

"Oh," Xu Youyin sighed. He was really bored. He had known better than to go to Yujiazhuang with his second brother. Suddenly, loud laughter echoed outside the Xu family's gate.

Xu Youyin complained in his heart, a bunch of big girls were skipping rope outside the door, you said they were all big girls, haha, it made it difficult for him to go out. Listen, his niece laughs loudly.

In the distance, there is a group of young children throwing away handkerchiefs, all of them are bored.

Just as he finished complaining, another wave of laughter came from the main room. Xu Youyin thought to himself: How can these aunts who have returned to their parents' homes chat with their mother so well.

He didn't know it, but his second brother also laughed and said:

"Mom, you don't know, my niece is much busier than Xiaoqin and I.

I guess those little sisters who are working are designated to be at my house right now, either playing or chattering and looking at the bronze mirror. There has never been anyone in her house.

Even on the first day of the Lunar New Year, my family didn't call in anyone to calm down. All kinds of people were looking for Tian Xin.

My niece ate four meals from one dinner on New Year's Day. Think about her popularity.

I ate ribs at Uncle Li Zheng's house, and was taken away by her fourth uncle to eat some pieces of fried fish. There was another family halfway down the road, and I didn't even figure out whose family it was taken away from her. I heard that she gnawed half of a pig's trotters, and that person said that she was in the business of catching money, so she had to gnaw pig trotters and chicken feet.

My mother didn't even eat the pig's feet, but she ate all the chicken feet, duck feet, and pig's trotters. "

Yu Qiniang nodded and smiled, it was a fact.

Her family, Tian Xin, has never failed to make a name for herself during the Chinese New Year. Tian Xin has tasted almost every delicacy in the village.

Her Tian Xin put warm sleeves in her hands and said hello to someone across the wall. After a while, she disappeared as she walked. That is, she was dragged into the house for dinner.

There was no way, Tian Xin handed over all the old men who were in charge of each family.

Xu Youliang picked up the wine glass: "Mom, I wish you a stronger body in the new year. Don't worry, the two brothers will only become more successful. Xiaoqin and I will live better day by day. At least we are a bunch of people who are doing hard work. My family has the money for military service, and our family members will not leave home. If this can be achieved, for us farmers, what can be more practical than this?"

"This is the truth. Why is what I said so right?"

Mrs. Lin was so excited that she picked up the wine bowl and took a big sip, and even choked.

She coughed and smiled, and took a large piece of fish from her daughter in a bowl: "Eat, try the craftsmanship, I haven't cooked meat for many years, I don't know if it tastes good."

Xu Youliang picked up a pair of chopsticks and stir-fried kidneys. This dish went well with wine, and then he gnawed on a chicken thigh that he tore off vigorously.

At the same time, at the intersection outside, Uncle Tian's son-in-law was waiting eagerly.

His wife came to find her, with an embarrassed look on her face and persuaded her: "The child's father, come back with me quickly, otherwise my father will beat my second sister to death, and my mother is crying so hard that she is about to go away. This is the Chinese New Year, no matter what , that’s my biological sister too. If you don’t care about anything else, for the sake of my parents and me, don’t be the same as her. She’s just like that, she wants to show off her face. She’s not irritating you, she just can’t stand the third wife. My cousin's life is much better than her now. My cousin used to be the worst in the whole family, who would have thought."

When Tian's son-in-law heard this, he suddenly yelled: "It was the worst in the past. I finally understand. No wonder your parents are poor. Why don't you die of poverty? If you don't do business, hate others and laugh at others, it's okay to be poor." If you think so, go back to your parents’ house. You can come back when you figure it out. I have to wait here for my cousin-in-law to sell ducks, and my Lao Tian family still has to live a good life!"

The third cousin choked: "..." I'm really afraid that I won't take her back to her in-laws' house. Alas, I don't know what her in-laws will do to her when they find out that her man was beaten here.

The third cousin shed tears again: "Don't get angry at me. I didn't expect it to be like this. It's the hardest thing for me to be in the middle. You said I just finished my confinement and I feel so exhausted that I can't stand up." He burped and asked again: "But where is my cousin-in-law? The third aunt's house is closed, has she gone back?"

Seeing his daughter-in-law crying, Tian's son-in-law softened his heart. Looking at her tearful eyes, he turned away and muttered: "No, my brother-in-law went to give gifts. I have been staring at this place and haven't returned yet. As for closing the door..."

Tian's son-in-law wanted to get angry again and ask, is his mother-in-law mentally ill? I dislike the snacks given by others. That box also costs a hundred taels of silver. Why, if someone has money, they owe it to you. The son-in-law next door is not a relative. How generous is it to give you ten taels of silver? They don't ask your family to do things, and your family has no kindness to others before.

As his own son-in-law, he couldn't bear to listen to what he said: "I just heard that the third aunt was so angry that she went back and closed the door. I'm really convinced by your family. It's too late for me to make friends! Why did you go to the third aunt's house to wait for your brother-in-law? Why don't you go to the third aunt's house to wait for your brother-in-law? Why don't you wait here and explain it to your brother-in-law first."

"Can you explain clearly what would happen without us?"

"Have you never bullied your cousin before? You haven't given me old clothes or said anything. My cousin's husband does big things, and his big heart can explain it. It's cheaper for me to give him a duck."

The third cousin was very suspicious. She had never been bullied, but it seemed even worse that she had not given or helped her. In the past, she didn't need to look for superiority over her cousin like the second sister. She was the daughter-in-law of the Tian family and it was enough to show off in the village, and she didn't bother to step on her cousin.

Mrs. Lin of the Yu family went to fry some peanuts and brought them into the house, just because his uncle was already happy and said he wanted to eat peanuts.

Xu Youliang ate four bowls of rice, just eating together during the Chinese New Year, and was telling his mother-in-law:

"My mother can rest for just these two days. There are no people at home like this, and she wants to accompany her married girls to ask about the situation in other villages.

Thanks to my aunt, the table in the shop was full. My mother took a break, but the other side didn't. Many mothers and daughters-in-law are still employed to make Yuanxiao and glutinous rice balls, which will be taken away and sold on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

Haha, my grandma was afraid that as an elder, she would give money to the children of this family and that family, so she hid in the shop and followed me to make glutinous rice balls. "

Outside, Tian's son-in-law was so cold that he started to sniffle. He was looking at the intersection where Xu Youliang left, brother-in-law, why are you still not coming back after giving him gifts?

When Xu Youliang was completely drunk, he began to ask his mother-in-law for something to eat. He said over wine, "Mom, I'm willing to eat the big buns stuffed with radish tassels that you steamed that year."

Radish tassels are fed to pigs. In the first year of marriage, the best meal for my mother-in-law’s family to entertain my uncle was steamed buns stuffed with radish tassels and corn bread.

Xu Youliang choked up: "There are also hot soup noodles made by my mother. Maybe I will never have enough of these two in my life, and I will never forget them."

Mrs. Lin was extremely emotional and responded loudly: "Okay, Mom will wrap it up for you tomorrow morning. Come on, uncle, eat a frozen pear. Mom has cut it open for you."

"Emma, ​​I haven't heard that you have to cut this into pieces when you eat it." Yu Dali said after tasting it.

At this time, Tian's son-in-law outside was already so cold that he started to fidget.

The three girls and uncles from Uncle Yu's family left beside him with sad faces. None of them had eaten, and the party was over. Passing by Tian's son-in-law, he looked down upon his worthless look.

When Xu Youliang had fallen asleep with his brother-in-law in his arms, Tian's son-in-law was still waiting outside persistently, but his father-in-law pulled him and said: "Third son-in-law, dad drove away those useless people, don't do this , go home with dad for dinner. I finally came back, and I’m so hungry that I’m grumbling. Dad will spread the jade for you to warm it up quickly and we’ll start dinner.”

"Dad, I'm waiting for my cousin's husband to sell ducks. This matter is more important than eating. Otherwise, he won't be able to see me when I go to Erdaohe."

Uncle Yu sighed, "Okay, then dad will accompany you to your third aunt's house and wait. Take the four ducks you brought this year to your third aunt's house and say something nice. Dad will be shameless and wait with you."

When Uncle Yu and Tian's son-in-law entered the house, Xu Youliang's snoring was loud. Xiaoli was in his arms, Daili was lying on his lap, and even Yu Qinniang was lying in the hut and fell asleep.

Mrs. Lin was washing the dishes in the kitchen and kept her face from being woken up. Her uncle could not rest easily all year round, so he could only sleep until dawn.

Uncle Yu said he had brought ducks, but Mrs. Lin said, "You are not allowed to wake up if you bring anything."

The two of them looked at the people on the bed who had finished eating and drinking: "..." When did you come back?

Tian's son-in-law covered his tearful eyes with his cold-curled fingers, and suddenly choked up: "I've been through this whole day, how can I be so unjust?"

The next day, when Xu Youliang came out after finishing his radish-tasseled buns before dawn, he was startled by a dark shadow that suddenly stood up.

While loading the car, he laid out a basket of eggs given by his mother-in-law and was about to go home.

At the same time, he asked Tian's son-in-law in confusion: "Why are you squatting here?"

"Brother-in-law, what is that? Happy Chinese New Year." (End of Chapter)
