The fertile farm girl in the portable space

Chapter 23 Who Killed the Reed Flower

"Dinner is ready!" Mrs. Chen rubbed her rough hands on the apron a few times, and shouted happily while standing in the yard.

Coriander patted her grumbling stomach, and happily climbed up to the dining table in the yard.

Today's dinner table is not ordinary rich.

There was a plate of golden and crispy sweet potatoes, one big and two small.There is steamed fragrant white rice, a plate of crispy sweet and sour lotus root slices, a plate of dark soybean paste, and the most eye-catching thing is the bowl of slippery steamed eggs, which are rarely sprinkled with a thick layer of Roumozi.

That layer of greasy meat was made by Mrs. Li after spending some money, and asked the coriander to buy the meat from Mrs. Liu’s house next door. The old lady was reluctant to eat it all at once, but there was only a small piece of meat in total, so she thought about it. Chop it into minced meat, sprinkle it on the eggs, and save the rest for next meal, next meal.

Coriander looked at the "ba da da ba da" of his saliva, quickly picked up a small piece of lotus root and put it in his mouth, smacking his mouth, it was sweet, sour and crispy, delicious.This cannot be blamed on her, since she was born in this poor family, she has never seen such a sumptuous meal.It may not be a big deal to put it in other people's house, but it is a big meal to put it in their house.

The old lady happened to come out of the stove with a bowl, and when she saw it, she walked over calmly, staring at the head of the coriander with a sudden burst of chestnut, and the painful coriander shrank her neck "Ouch".This little old lady is so ruthless, why don't she practice martial arts with this skill, she is definitely a master.

"Grandma, can't you be gentle? This is a head, not a winter melon!" Coriander rubbed her head vigorously, muttering aggrievedly.

"Hmph, children, what's wrong with learning? Stealing from others!" The old lady put down the bowl sharply.

"Coriander, come, eat this!" Mrs. Li glanced at the old lady, with a sneer at the corner of her mouth, picked up a large hot potato, peeled off the scorched outer skin, revealing the golden potato, and stuffed it into Coriander's hand.

Picking up the coriander, he smiled openly, and the sweet potato was still smoking white smoke, which was called a fragrance.

The old lady twitched her eyebrows, what a big potato!

As soon as the coriander took a small bite, the old lady snatched it away, and said with a sinister smile: "Coriander, such a big one, how can you finish it? Divide it in half and give half to your father."

The old lady said that it was about to be broken into two pieces, Li Shi snatched it up again, stuffed it into the hand of the coriander, and said casually: "This Ruxian wants to eat, there are still two in the bowl."

"I'm not afraid to hold on to such a big baby!" The old lady's face changed suddenly.

Mrs. Li took the coriander in her arms and warned: "Hold on. Eat! Coriander, can you eat this?"

"I can eat three more big ones!" Coriander replied loudly after taking a big bite and chewing.

The old lady's face turned green immediately.

The family sat around and began to eat.The old lady, as usual, always leaves the best things for her son.She unceremoniously picked up the bowl of steamed meat and eggs, put it in front of Hai Rui, and said: "My son, you have worked hard at reading, so eat more."

Li held up his chopsticks and laughed, his grin became wider and louder.

"Grandma, what are you laughing at?" Coriander asked while nibbling on a potato.

"Ru Xian, are you pregnant too?" Li said with a smile, "If you are not pregnant, give this bowl of custard to those who are pregnant!"

Hai Rui looked uncomfortable, pushed the bowl of minced meat custard, took a few mouthfuls of rice, said he was full, and went back to the house to read.

The old lady couldn't hold back anymore, and said with a sullen face: "What do you mean? My son, at his own home, can't even eat a custard?"

Mrs. Li giggled and shuffled her chopsticks with a "giggle" smile, and then said slowly: "Mother-in-law, take a look at this Qingshui Village, which family's men don't go down to the land? It's just Ru Xian, good luck, marry me with a solid heart What a stupid girl! Don’t say that I bought the meat. Men who don’t go to the land have to eat meat. My daughter is pregnant with a baby, so shouldn’t she eat meat? There’s no reason for that.”

The old lady choked, and blushed for a while and said: "Isn't my son still taking a test for fame? He is not the one who picks up cats and dogs. In the future, when he is in his early years, Chen Feng and Wa'er will also enjoy the blessings?"

"Come on!" Mrs. Li lowered her head and ate a mouthful of food unhurriedly, then raised her head and said, "Mother-in-law, you're just bluffing Chen Feng and her honest father! Feng has been married for more than six years, and she wants to be a I became an official a long time ago. At the beginning, I refused to let Dafeng marry, what happened. Hmph."

"At home, our Dafeng's house is twice as big as the small shabby one to the west! Who would have married such a worthless husband, hey."

"You...you look down on my son!"

"That's it!" Li Shi put the chopsticks on the edge of the bowl crisply, and said loudly with rounded eyes.

"Mother...don't talk about it." Mrs. Chen hurriedly tugged at Mrs. Li's sleeve.

Mrs. Li slapped the table heavily with a "pa--", and the fragrant coriander lying on the table was taken aback.

"Shut up! We didn't send it to other people's house to be spoiled for nothing!" Li Shi pointed at the bowl of meat soup angrily, "Eat it, eat it all for me, don't leave a single bite!"

Mrs. Chen looked at the cloudy old lady and at the high-spirited mother, in a dilemma, so she took the minced meat soup and ate it with a spoon.

The corner of Li's mouth curled up into a smug smile, and the old lady threw the chopsticks on the table with a "slap", and went back to the house with small steps.

When the pay was paid, Mrs. Li pinned Mrs. Chen to death on the bed again and refused to let her go to the fields. The old lady stood under the window of the west room and scolded for a long time. "Boom—" it hit the window glass.Unexpectedly, with too much force, the glass cracked a fine line, and the old lady was distressed to death.

Mrs. Li was still as stable as Mount Tai, and after a while it became quiet, Mrs. Li pouted her mouth outside, "Xiangcai, go and see if your grandma is gone?"

Coriander looked around, then came back and said, "My grandma is gone."

Mrs. Li smiled slyly, and told Xiangcai: "Take good care of your mother. I'll go get your mother some delicious Bubu!"

Coriander nodded, Li turned around and went out.

After a while, there was a flustered and high-pitched rooster crowing in the yard—"cuckoo—cuckoo!".Coriander listened carefully, it was a reed flower.The cry was different from usual, it was flustered.

Coriander poked her head out of curiosity to have a look, and she saw that Mrs. Li was vigorously chasing the shiny black reed flowers all over the yard.Mrs. Li caught the reed flower all at once, smiled triumphantly, and twisted the reed flower tightly.Mrs. Li took a broken sea bowl, scooped half a bowl of cold water in the water tank, put some salt, and placed it on the steps of the yard.He took a wooden basin and a kitchen knife from the kitchen.The stove was still "gululu" boiling water.After preparing these, Li took a sharp knife and began to cut the chicken's neck.

With a flash of bright knife light, warm blood sprayed into the sea bowl. Li Shi held Luhua tightly, beat her to death and struggled a few times, stretched her legs, and stopped moving.When the chicken blood came down, Mrs. Li stirred it a few times with a pair of chopsticks.
