The educated youth aunt who dresses as the heroine of period novels

He Xiaoxiao saw her running away and took the wreath off her head.

The garland is woven from small purple and yellow flowers by the river. Although Zhang Yunxi took a short time to weave it, it is very beautiful.

She knew in her heart that the wreath did not match her face, but she still put the wreath on her head silently.

When walking back to the educated youth dormitory, Deng Damei accidentally saw her, took a quick look, and laughed subconsciously, "Oh, I'll go, you look ugly with this garland on your face."

"No, it's so beautiful." Zhang Yunxi hurriedly ran out of the kitchen to speak for He Xiaoxiao.

At least I made it up myself.

It needs to be maintained no matter what.

He Xiaoxiao also nodded in agreement, "I think it looks pretty, the color is very bright."

"I'll just tell you!" Zhang Yunxi raised her chin and stood proudly in front of Deng Damei, her tone full of showoff: "I made it up, it's so beautiful."

Deng Damei looked at her face for a long time and gave her a thumbs up, "You are amazing."

After going out to coax He Xiaoxiao for a long time, He Xiaoxiao became more gentle towards Zhang Yunxi, with a hint of pampering.

Better than the educated youth before.

"I think so too." Zhang Yunxi was pleased and returned to the kitchen to cook.

Today I eat dried vegetables, and the staple food is brown rice.

The dried vegetables are filled with soy sauce, salt, and lard, which is actually very fragrant. If the pork belly is steamed with the dried vegetables, it will not only have the fragrance of dried vegetables and pork belly, but also have a sweet taste. It will go well with rice when mixed!

"Auntie, you are eating."

Zhao Mo and Er Gouzi came in carrying a bamboo basket.

Zhang Yunxi stood up and walked towards them, not forgetting to ask, "What did you get?"

"Chestnut." Zhao Mo replied.

He Ergouzi put down the heavy Burr Er, gasping for breath from exhaustion.

Because the shell of the chestnut has not been peeled off yet, the outer skin is full of thorns, and it needs to be peeled off with scissors.

Zhang Yunxi picked it up with one hand.

I didn't mention it.

"You must have picked up thirty kilograms."

Ergouzi sat down on the ground, panting and wiping his sweat, "No, no, we are much older. If Heidaner hadn't found us picking up chestnuts, he would have picked them up too, but he couldn't carry so much. He went home to get tools. We won’t take advantage of this time to pick up the chestnuts, it’s so tiring!!”

Deng Damei came over and tried it, "It must be forty pounds."

Zhang Yunxi was shocked by the strength of the two little guys, "You are so awesome. Then we can not only make sugar-fried chestnuts, but I can also make chestnut cakes for you."

"Chestnut cake?"

Ergouzi's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yes, let's cut the shell open after dinner. When I come back tomorrow to buy honey, oil and sugar, I can make it." Zhang Yunxi told He Xiaoxiao again, "Xiaoxiao, can you please make one? As for the mold, just press the approximate shape of the chestnut cake, no pattern is required."

"I have it, I'll get it for you." He Xiaoxiao took the remaining two mouthfuls of rice into her mouth and went to look for her big treasure box.

Everyone watched her bend down and rummage for a while, then she took out two wooden molds with three patterns on them, namely, pig, chicken, and fish.

They are all carnivores that everyone loves.

Zhang Yunxi took it over and looked at it. The small carving was really exquisite.

That's right...

She had never seen anyone making chestnut cakes with this pattern.

but!

The problem is not big.

What we are saying is, as long as it works.

The main one is not picky.

"It's good. When the chestnuts are mashed into puree tomorrow, we can use the mold to press them and get the appearance of the chestnut cake."

"Auntie, will you peel off the shell tonight?" Ergouzi asked. "Yes, tonight, I have nothing to do after dinner anyway, so why not do some work."

"Then I'll go to my grandma and ask for scissors. It will be easier for us to cut later." Ergouzi said.

Zhang Yunxi: "Okay, go ahead."

Zhao Mo went straight to get the scissors and started cutting and peeling.

Zhang Yunxi was afraid that her hand would be injured later, so he quickly put the gloves on her.

"Auntie, please wear it. You are more likely to be injured than me." Zhao Mo told the truth.

Zhang Yunxi: "..."

So heartbreaking!

"Then let me use it. If you feel uncomfortable or injured while peeling, you have to tell me, you know?"

"Uh-huh."

Zhao Mo responded.

But I think it’s impossible.

There were calluses on her hands, and little thorns couldn't penetrate them at all.

After the three of Zhang Yunxi finished eating, they all came to work together.

Peeling chestnuts is really hard work, but looking at the plump chestnuts gives me a sense of accomplishment, especially if it’s free!

Chestnuts weigh about forty pounds.

It weighs about 13 pounds after peeling it off, which is pretty good.

Zhang Yunxi put the chestnuts away and saw that it was getting late, so he asked them to go back.

Zhao Mo just returned home.

Her stepmother was cursing behind her, "Your heart has really strayed into the creaking nest. If your aunt was so good, why didn't she take you over to raise you? Now she gives you good food and drink, and also allows you to study." Who sleeps in a room alone?

it's me!

Are you so stupid that you can't even distinguish this little thing? Let me tell you.

Without us, your aunt wouldn't be nice to you. She must be greedy for something, or she just can't find a man and wants to use you to support her in her old age.

Think about it with your head, she is your only relative, and she must have put all her hopes on you. If you don't treat her well when you grow up, she will not scold you to death.

You also know that your aunt is a difficult mistress. I have never seen such a shrewd and shameless girl.

Let me tell you, only your parents really love you. Even though I am your stepmother, I have brought you up so much. I am no different from your biological mother. You have to know who you are truly grateful for! "

boom--

The sound of the door slamming shut was Zhao Mo's greatest response to his stepmother.

The sound of her closing the door was accompanied by Zhao Hongqiang's roar.

"I asked you to work, don't make noises all day long, can't you hear me? I am so tired all day long, working in the fields and repairing canals, how can you be like a woman like you, who is so relaxed at home, but you don't give me anything when you go home? Peace, if there is a shortage of people to work, what will your ex-husband’s son do to eat, eat and drink from me? He still lives in my house. If he doesn’t take the initiative to work for me, don’t you still want me to serve him? !! !”

"no……"

Yuan Guixiang slumped her shoulders in denial.

Yuan Dafan, who came back from playing wildly outside, hid in the woodshed.

Seeing her son like this, Yuan Guixiang felt even more distressed. The child had no father in the first place, and now he has a stepfather who abuses him. How sad it must be.

Yuan Guixiang guessed wrong.

Yuan Dafan was not sad at all.

He is angry!

Why didn't Yuan Guixiang die?

He also wanted an aunt like Zhang Yunxi who could always make delicious food. He had just come back from outside and had already heard Er Gouzi saying that they were going to eat chestnut cake tomorrow.

This was his first time hearing chestnut cake.

Why didn't he eat?

All because he is not a good person!

Or, his mother is willing to remain a widow for his father, and now he won't be beaten by his stepfather.

It's all her fault! (End of chapter)
