Rebirth of the pastoral landlady

Chapter 15
Chapter 15 Good Daughter-in-law
"Mother, let me sit under the stove and stuff firewood for you!" Jin Xi said.

"You're just a little bit better, why do you want to do this, just watch, mother can handle it!" Sun said.

"Stuffing firewood is not tiring, and it's still warm to sit by the stove!" Jin Xi said, without waiting for Mrs. Sun's consent, she walked over and sat down.

Glancing at the fire in the two stoves, and at the dishes in the small pot, he grabbed a handful of firewood and pushed it into the stove outside with a fire stick.The fire in the small stove came up, and the vegetables were frying.

Jinrou picked up the root vegetables and leaves and paddled in the water. Seeing this, she clamored for help.

Jin Xi asked Jin Rou to take care of the stove inside and the pot for stewing rice, which is easier to take care of.

Jin Rou happily left, and Sun's smiling face was hidden behind the oily smoke.

"You two children, hold back! Be careful not to get your sleeves dirty!" She smiled and told her, the spatula in her hand was flipping, and after a while, fried potato shreds and fried garlic sprouts came out of the pot.

"Boss, what are you doing in the yard? This big family is so busy that they don't touch the ground, why are you standing there with your hands down?" Outside the kitchen, Mrs. Tan began to reprimand Mrs. Jin again.

Old Liangtou and Mrs. Tan, in front of all their children and grandchildren in the dining hall, praised Liang Yuju for his safe work.But the things that Liang Yuju prepared this time surprised and disappointed the old Liangtou.

After counting those things, Old Liangtou looked a little unhappy.Hastily opened another order, asked Tan to open the box and take the money again, and ordered Liang Yuzhong and Liang Yuzhou brothers to go to Changqiao Town with the family's ox cart to buy according to the order.

The two brothers haven't returned to the village yet, but Liang Yuju has been missing.

"Sister, why is my grandma so disrespectful to auntie?" Jinrou leaned her head closer, and lowered her voice to discuss with Jinxi: "Auntie and mother are both good tempered, listen to what grandma says!"

Jin Xi glanced out the window of the stove room, Tan Shi was scolding Jin Shi.

This afternoon, Mrs. Tan went in and out, her face was always dark, Mrs. Yang took the opportunity to hide early, Mrs. Sun was busy without stopping, and Mrs. Jin was the only daughter-in-law wandering in front of her.

Liang Yuju's lack of preparation caused Tan's family to spend again. Although Tan's dissatisfaction with his eldest son, the more he didn't want to see Jin's.From Tan's point of view, it is the daughter-in-law's inability to manage the family properly because the man is in charge of the outside and the woman is in the house.

So when Jin came back, Tan took it as a target to vent.Jin didn't even have a sip of the tea, so she sent off to the miscellaneous room next to the dining hall to peel the cotton husks.

A few days ago, I was in a hurry to pull out the cotton stalks. There were still some unpicked cotton left on the stalks. They were all cotton with shells. The small half of the basket was enough for Jin to peel for a while.

"My grandma really cares about money!" Jin Xi and Jin Rou said in a low voice, the two sisters looked at each other and smiled, lowering their heads to light the fire.

"Mother, I just wanted to ask you, where should I put the cotton husks?" Jin asked timidly in the yard.

"Why, followed my elder son to the town to work as a shopkeeper's wife for a few days, and then forgot about this farmer's family? Where do you think the shell will be put?" Tan asked back.

"Auntie is going to ask grandma about such a trivial matter, isn't it obvious that she is uncomfortable!" Jin Xi muttered softly, Jin Rou nodded in agreement, and Sun used a shovel to stir the soup in the pot, and then covered the pot Let it stew by itself, and squat down to the mouth of the stove.Hearing this, he glanced outside the room: "Your aunt has never had the knack of turning in her mind."

Jin Xi guessed that Sun's meaning should be that Jin's lack of brains, he didn't know how to think on his own, and he relied on others for everything, and he listened to what others said, and he was quite slow-witted.

"Then, send the shell to the stove to make firewood?" Jin asked Tan for instructions in a low voice outside.

Here Mrs. Sun shook her head again, and sighed: "Sister-in-law is a nice person, but it's a pity that she is in charge of the housekeeping!"

"The shell is still moist, try burning it?" Mrs. Tan was already furious.

"Then, then I will put the shell away first, and when the sun comes out tomorrow, I will take it outside to dry, and then make firewood to light the fire." Jin said: "Well, mother will assign me some other things." Let's work."

"You know how to fix the shell, and you still ask me? Ask me everything, and I, an old woman, have to worry about it. It costs me money and effort. What do you think of my longevity?" Tan said.

Jin Xi could tell that Mrs. Tan was making excuses, and she was in a lot of pain for the money to make up for things in the afternoon.

It's a pity that everyone in the kitchen could understand Tan Shi's excuses, but Jin Shi who was standing in front of Tan Shi didn't necessarily understand.

"Mother, you are the master in this house, I will do whatever you ask me to do," Jin said.

"What are you doing? You want me to tell you, what are you doing with those holey eyes?" Tan scolded.

Jin was terrified: "Mother, calm down, I'll look for it myself."

"Aren't you the daughter-in-law of Lao Liang's family? You still have to pick and choose the work? Don't look for it, the pigsty in the backyard hasn't been shoveled yet, so you have to shovel it!"

"Well, I'm going to find a shovel." Jin said, before turning around, Tan called to stop him.

"Change the clothes on your body, you don't look like you are working!"

"Well, then I'll go back to the house and change my clothes."

"The powder on your face was wiped off too, mother of four brats, what are you doing with that thing? It's white, it's infiltrating! I've only lived in the town for a few days, so you've got to clean up some crooked ways! Prodigal bitches!"

Both Sun and Jinrou acted as if they were used to it, while Jinxi pricked up her ears when she heard this, with an embarrassing expression on her face.There are quite a lot of people who are as difficult to deal with as Tan Shi, but such a good temper as Jin Shi is really rare!
It is said that the clay figurines still have three parts earthy nature, but this Jin family accepts every picky thing about Tan family, and there is no sign of any unpleasantness.

Mrs. Tan came to inspect the kitchen again, and ordered some other things by the way, and Mrs. Sun responded with a full mouth.

Mrs. Tan glanced at the two sisters who were squatting by the stove, her eyebrows frowned, and she scolded Mrs. Sun: "It's such a big deal to cook a meal, why does it take so many people?"

Sun smirked in embarrassment.Tan Shi turned around and went to a corner of the kitchen room, where the baskets were piled up with things that Jin Shi had brought back from the town, and the ingredients for the banquet bought by Liang Yuju.

Tan untied one of the sacks, leaned over and scooped out half a basket of potatoes from it, picked it up and threw it directly at Sister Jinxi's feet by the stove door.

"Both of you, don't just sit and wait for the fire, and peel this half of the basket of potatoes. Later, you will use it for frying potato balls at night." Don't expect to eat!"

Jin Xi glanced at the potatoes in the basket, she really didn't know where Liang Yuju found such potatoes!
Most of the potatoes in the basket were moldy and rotten, but none of them were complete.The indentations were filled with mud, and in some places green shoots the length of a pinky finger had sprouted.

Jin Xi's eyes widened, didn't she say that these potatoes are difficult to plan, even if they are cleaned out, can they still be eaten?

"Grandma, there are so many potatoes, it takes a lot of work, and I haven't got a good one yet, I'll get sick after eating it!"

Before Jin Xi could speak, Jin Rou was already frightened, the little girl asked Tan Shi innocently, Jin Xi lowered her eyes, Jin Rou stepped on the thunder again.

"If you're afraid of getting a stomachache, don't expect anything! Lazy and greedy girl, she planed this potato in a hurry, when will she be ready and when will she have dinner!" Tan Shi continued to train Jin Xi together.
