husband and wife

Chapter 62

Fortunately, Su Wan is not a caring person. She just wants to do her best and obey the destiny. The eldest and second children are not real brats. They are sometimes naughty, but they are very obedient. Seriously copying the words, and squatting meticulously, Su Wan didn't say much, but slowed down the progress, and asked them to recognize and write the words they had learned before.Now even the three girls and the three babies can learn formally, as long as they are not required to write, they can barely keep up with the progress.

The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Father Song and the others finished their work in the town, received a few pennies, and smiled all over their thin and tired faces. Sure enough, Song Ziheng did not come back on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but Mother Song also cut her After bringing back a whole catty of meat, Su Wan saw that it was almost Sparta. She already knew that fat meat is regarded as good meat here. However, Su Wan only listened to her saying to Zhang Shi: "You can fry this meat directly. Everyone has been tired for a month, so make up for it."

Su Wan thought for a while and asked: "If you want to replenish your body, why doesn't mother buy a few bones and cook soup?"

"Bone soup? You don't know, there is no meat on the bones, and the soup doesn't taste very good after cooking. People who can't afford meat eat that!"

Su Wan couldn't imagine that there was such a style of comparison in ancient times, and she wanted to laugh when she heard Mother Song say it, but she said seriously: "It's because they just boiled the water to save trouble, and didn't boil the essence of the bones. What kind of smell does it have, just put a little salt in the water, and you can't even smell the meat."

Mother Song hesitated: "According to you, pig bones are more nutritious than pork?"

"Mom, go buy it now. Choose the ribs from the pig. You don't need too many, just one or two. From now on, cook it slowly over a low fire, and you can eat it at lunch time. Peel a few big ribs while boiling." Put the chestnuts they picked up, and the soup will be more fragrant, and you don’t even need to add seasoning, just add some salt.”

"It's just a matter of spending some firewood and effort. It's the festival, so you can buy it. Anyway, the bones are not expensive." Song's mother turned around and went out after she finished speaking. Today, someone in the village is killing pigs. Let the people in the village buy the butcher first. Only then will the rest be taken to the town, so Song's mother went out for a few minutes, and then came back with two bones. Su Wan had already returned to the main room for class. I don't understand, but seeing her grandson dressed in clean clothes, shaking his head and following Su Wan to read the words in the book, he felt joy in his heart. Her youngest son is going to be the No. [-] scholar in the future and married a daughter-in-law who can read. The two grandsons are learning to read with their daughter-in-law, and everyone in the village is not envious!
Mother Song happily entered the kitchen with her bones in her hands. Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Li were busy making mooncakes, and Miss Song was also helping. She was not needed at first, but Mother Song said that she was old enough to learn everything she needed to learn. It just so happens that Song Xiaomei also likes to cook these things. She has been trained by her third sister-in-law to cook well. Even if she goes out in the future, her husband's family will only be satisfied.

Thinking of this, Song Xiaomei blushed quietly, and when she saw Song's mother coming in, she wanted to go up to her: "Mother..."

But Mrs. Zhang said: "Little sister is good at learning how to make moon cakes. I will handle the pork bones. I heard what the three younger siblings said before."

Mrs. Zhang is a gentle person, but her work is quicker than that of Song Xiaomei. She brought water to wash the bones, then chopped them into small pieces, and threw them into a clay pot. This pot was newly bought. My parents-in-law were sick, and I bought them to stay up late, but they recovered before they were used. Just now, the third sibling said that the soup made from this medicine pot was fragrant and nutritious, so she found it.

Mrs. Zhang quickly peeled another half bowl of chestnuts and put them in, filled them with water, and cooked them on the small stove that had just been raised in the yard. When she saw her husband bring the cow in, she said, "His father, help me watch the stove." Don't put out the fire, but turn the fire down a little after the water boils."

Song Yougen didn't take it seriously at first: "What is this for?"

"Boiling bone soup, the third brother and sister said that they probably want to eat it. You should watch it carefully. I heard that it takes a small fire to cook the taste."

Song Yougen's face suddenly became serious: "Okay, leave it to me."

It is no exaggeration for the couple to take Su Wan's words as an imperial decree. She taught their son to read seriously. The night before yesterday, the two children showed them a piece of paper with writing on it. Naturally, they couldn't understand it. The son said it was They all wrote down his father's name. Song Yougen was in tears when he heard it. Mrs. Zhang looked at it several times before carefully folding it up and putting it in her only jewelry box containing a silver bracelet. How much you value this piece of paper.
