Jia's daughter-in-law of Zhen Hanzi's family

Chapter 182
On the afternoon of the second day of the twelfth lunar month, in the Nanshanwu Brigade, Zhen Xiaoer saw that the sun was about to set like an egg yolk, so he also turned around and went home from the entrance of the village in dismay.

Hey, if the eldest brother and sister-in-law don't come back, he feels that he might be hungry.

When I look at the sun, I think of egg yolks. When I see the moon, I think of biscuits. When I see a river, I think of fish. Anyway, I can’t look at anything, and I feel hungry.

Of course, it's not that Sister Zhen doesn't give them enough to eat. Cornmeal steamed buns, rice bran cakes, sweet potato noodle porridge and steamed buns come in rotation.

Chinese cabbage, radishes, potatoes, pickled radishes, sauerkraut vermicelli are also available.

But these things are not oily, and you will be hungry after a while after eating them.

Although they ate like this before, they ate well with their sister-in-law. Even if there is no meat, there is no shortage of scrambled eggs, steamed eggs or boiled eggs.

Now the eldest sister is in charge of the house, hey, the three chicks and two ducks in the family are still young, and he can't wait to become a hen to lay eggs.

When he went back, Sister Zhen had already prepared dinner, and when she saw him, she greeted him with a smile: "Go to the back and call your sisters to have dinner."

Behind them is their own vegetable garden, and now there are celery, wutaicai, garlic, etc. in winter, and they like to work in the back when they are free.

"Okay." He turned around after taking two steps and asked, "Sister, what are you having for dinner?"

Sister Zhen really didn't have the idea of ​​ill-treating her younger siblings, but had the instinct of thrift and frugality. When she heard his words, she smiled: "Sweet potato porridge, and steamed buns with Erhe noodles."

"Then why don't you get some celery and eat it?" He salivated when he thought of the knife of bacon hanging in the kitchen, "Sister, I want to eat fried bacon with celery."

He really misses the time when his sister-in-law was at home. At that time, he was worried that her sister-in-law would make the family poor.

Sister Zhen was a bit reluctant: "Just a little bit of celery, let your sister-in-law and the others come back to eat, and besides, it's almost Chinese New Year, so that's also a dish."

After finishing speaking, seeing his listless look, he couldn't help laughing: "Okay, tomorrow we will make bacon vermicelli, and you will definitely have meat."

In fact, she felt that her younger siblings were tricky. When they came back, she would definitely have to be more willing. Now it's good to take advantage of them not being frugal anymore.

But seeing that he seems to be a little thinner, he can only make a good dish for them to beat their teeth.

Besides, there is Dr. Huang around, so I can't be too stingy.

Of course, she really didn't think she was stingy, it would be nice to be able to eat enough now, and she was willing to put lard, even the porridge was delicious.

Zhen Xiaoer cheered when he heard it: "That's great, I can eat meat tomorrow."

In fact, even when their mother was around, it took ten days and a half months to eat some meat, but it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance and it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. I don’t even eat meat, can I not be hungry?
Not only him, even Zhen Erniu and the others who came back from work couldn't help swallowing when they heard that tomorrow they were going to eat bacon stewed vermicelli.

In the next afternoon, Sister Zhen chopped more than half a catty of bacon, washed it, cut it up and put it in a large pot.

Zhen Xiaoer graciously stole the second sister's job of lighting the fire, and took the opportunity to put a few small sweet potatoes in the stove, and said greedily, "Elder sister, put more vermicelli!"

"Understood." Sister Zhen replied with a smile.

Most of the sweet potatoes distributed this year, they made sweet potato vermicelli a few days ago. Although it is a bit troublesome, they are not active in winter now. However, Zhen Xiaoer often sneaks to burn charcoal during the day, and the women also made 20 Many catties of vermicelli.

At this time, Zhen Xiaoer's partner ran in from outside and shouted excitedly: "Xiaoer, are you there? Your sister-in-law and the others are back, and there is a boy who is about your age with you."

This is Zhen Xiaoer's little friend who bought him with a few fruit candies and a dozen candy wrappers. Because he lived at the entrance of the village, he asked his little friend to pay attention, and if he saw his brother and sister-in-law come back, he would hurry up and tell her.

"Really?" Zhen Xiaoer jumped out from behind the stove, didn't even bother to light the fire, and went back to the room to change clothes.

Today he went to the mountain to help with work, and now he is worried that his sister-in-law will bring her younger brother. If he is sloppy, then he will be inferior to him?
When we met for the first time, I couldn't be too much worse than him, lest he, a city person, would look down on me, a country person even more.

He also greeted his sisters: "Sister-in-law is here with her younger brother. Sister, you all changed into old clothes for work, so that you seem to value others."

After speaking, he rushed out to pick up people.

However, as soon as he reached the door, he saw the three of them coming back.

The eldest brother is carrying a big backpack, a snakeskin bag in his left hand, and three or four net pockets in his right hand, inside are lunch boxes, apples and oranges.

The sister-in-law was also carrying a big backpack and a rattan box, and smilingly took out candies from her pocket to give to the children who came up to call for help.

In addition, there is a boy who is about the same height as me, carrying a big bag and a snakeskin bag, his face seems to be whiter than his own, his eyes seem to be bigger than his own, and he looks around curiously.

Zhen Xiaoer's heart was bubbling with sourness, this person looked better than him, and he didn't know if his sister-in-law would like him after this came.

Even though he had a lot of ups and downs in his mind, he still shouted cheerfully, and stepped forward to pick up Jia Haohao's rattan box with winks and dog legs.

However, the rattan box that Jia Haohao was carrying was a fool. There were only a few cotton-padded clothes in it, so he didn't dare to give it to him, so as not to be suspected by him, so he smiled and said: "That's my brother Jia Yunhang, who is one year younger than you , he will also be your younger brother in the future, you should take him with you and carry the snakeskin bag in for him, right?"

Sister Zhen and the others also came out to welcome them. Jia Haohao went in and put the things in the room, and then introduced each other to everyone, and said with a smile: "In the future, everyone will have a younger brother. If there is anything wrong with him, everyone Just say it, don't treat him as a guest."

Sister Zhen smiled and agreed: "What my brother and sister said is, if you have something to do, Yunhang, just tell us. You must be tired from the journey. Hurry up and go to the kitchen to eat?"

Before coming here, Jia Yunhang made the worst plan.

He had heard from his classmates before that their relatives' homes in their hometown were full of chicken excrement and cow dung, stinking flies and mosquitoes were flying all over the sky, and the house was also full of soot and oil, and there was simply nowhere to set foot.

However, now he realized that his worries were for nothing.

Although there is no spacious cement road here, but a mud road, but everywhere is very clean.

(This kid is stupid, where are the flies and mosquitoes flying all over the sky in winter?)
Moreover, although my sister's house is not a green brick and tile house, it is also a new house. There is a big yard when you walk in, and the inside is also clean.

He was relieved all of a sudden, obediently called out, and his things were taken into the room by the enthusiastic second brother.

Steamed steamed buns with Sanhe noodles in the big pot, and a pot full of bacon, vermicelli and cabbage in the small pot.

Sister Zhen knew that her younger siblings were not used to eating steamed buns, so she quickly cracked eggs and boiled noodles, and said with a smile: "Okay, you and Yunhang will eat a la carte to fill your stomach first, and I will be ready soon."

As soon as Zhen Xiaoer rolled his eyes, he smiled cleverly: "Sister-in-law, does Yunhang have a nickname?"

Jia Haohao followed his intentions and said, "No, but you are the mistress, and he will be the mistress from now on."

The calculation in Zhen Xiaoer's heart succeeded, and he handed her a bowl and chopsticks very attentively: "Okay, this sounds kind."

Although Jia Yunhang felt that the nickname was sloppy, he didn't refuse, and felt that it was integrated into his sister's family instead.

Zhen Youqin came over with two lunch boxes: "There are roast duck and braised pork in here, please warm them up, sister."

He took out Song Zheng's letter to Dr. Huang again, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Dr. Huang, their brothers are all well. If there are no accidents, they can come here for the New Year."

Dr. Huang didn't expect to hear this good news, and the usually calm person shook his hands excitedly when he received the letter: "That's good, I really trouble you."

"You're welcome, everyone use your chopsticks. This dish won't taste good when it's cold." Zhen Youqin was also thinking about how he would ask Dr. Huang to move out.

Jiahao first picked up a piece of bacon for Xiao Qi who was meowing just after waking up, and then he picked up a chopsticks of vermicelli and ate it. He was full of praise: "This vermicelli is strong and delicious, and it also has the smell of bacon. It would be even better if you add more tofu."

Of course, what was not said was that it would be better if there was more bacon.

Zhen Xiaoer felt that this was his bosom friend, and quickly nodded in agreement: "I think so too."

Sister Zhen thought to herself, this tofu can be fried or boiled, is it delicious?
It's just more troublesome to do.

Anyway, I'm really fine these few days, so let me trouble you, anyway, I can eat tofu until the New Year if I make tofu in this weather.

She responded with a smile: "Then let's soak the beans later, and we will also make tofu tomorrow."

"Sister, can you make tofu?" Jia Haohao was really surprised. People nowadays are too capable, right?

Sister Zhen was a little embarrassed when she saw her siblings looking at her with admiration: "It's not difficult, if you want to learn, I'll teach you."

Let Jia eat well, then she has no objection at all, but if she is asked to work, she is absolutely unwilling.

But now she was also curious, so she agreed with a smile.

Soon, two bowls of egg noodles were placed in front of Jiahao's siblings, and the roast duck and braised pork were also heated up.

Even if Sister Zhen and the others were reluctant to eat such good meat dishes and wanted to keep them and eat them slowly, under Zhen Youqin's insistence, everyone ate to their heart's content.

Not to mention that Zhen Xiaoer thought it would be good for sister-in-law to come back, even Xiao Luxiu came to Jia Haohao's side and smiled obediently: "It's good for aunt to come back, I miss aunt."

Although my mother is good to me, my aunt is even better, and I picked up several pieces of meat for myself.

Jia Hao heard what she said, and hugged her with a smile on his face: "Xiaoxiu is so good, my aunt misses Xiaoxiu too."

After finishing speaking, he took out all the candies from his pocket and put them into her pocket, and said with a smile, "Auntie brought you a lot of delicious food."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhen Youqin: "Bring the snakeskin bag, everything inside must be taken out."
