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

Chapter 205 Marriage
Zhen Youqin not only bought more than a dozen catties of beef this time, but also bought some squid, octopus, and a blanket with Double Happiness printed on it.

Faced with Sister Zhen's distressed expression, he didn't dare to tell the truth: "Sister, these beef will be made into beef jerky, and I will give it as a present."

When he said this, Miss Zhen didn't feel distressed anymore, she nodded repeatedly: "This is what it should be, don't be stingy when giving things away."

Worrying again: "Unfortunately, I don't know how to make beef jerky?"

"It's okay, I can do it well, big sister, just help her do it together." Zhen Youqin didn't dare to tell her that it should be Xiaoqi who can make beef jerky.

The current temperature in Nanshanwu is mostly minus [-] degrees. Putting fish and meat outside is like putting them in a refrigerator.

This kind of weather will continue until the early first month of next year, so Sister Zhen first puts hairtails in a clean water tank outside.

When Jia Haohao came back and didn't see Zhen Youqin, she was called by Sister Zhen to make beef jerky.

The problem is, Jia Haohao is not a good cook either.

She hurriedly went to Zhen Xiaoer's room and dug out Xiao Qi who was still soundly asleep under the blanket in their room: "Hurry up, I'm starting to make beef jerky for you, go and watch it yourself."

As soon as Xiao Qi got out of the warm bed, she exploded. Hearing Jia Haohao's words, she raised her head and snorted arrogantly: "You are so stupid, didn't I tell you before?"

Jia rubbed Xiaoqi's fluffy body well, stared at it again, and said hesitantly, "Why do I think you've gained a lot of weight?"

This little liar complained to himself yesterday how hard and tiring it was to go out in the wind and rain.

Tired but still gain weight?I really feel bad for nothing.

Xiao Qi tried hard to relax himself, making the fried yellow hair soft, trying to cover up the truth of his growing flesh: "No, it's so hard outside, how could I gain weight? It may be that my cat's hair has grown longer."

Jia Haohao didn't expose Xiao Qi's lies, but removed the muscles and membranes of the beef according to Xiao Qi's instructions, rinsed it several times with clean water, and then put it in the pot to cook.

This can remove the blood in the beef, and then skim off the foam. When you see that the beef is white, you can take it out, clean it, and then put the beef into the pot...

After the two of them worked hard for more than two hours, sister Zhen smelled the aroma of beef and felt that her siblings were actually very talented in eating. If she was herself, she would never have imagined that beef could do this.

It's just that the kitten next to it is too noisy, and it keeps barking from time to time, as if it was being abused.

"It smells so good!" Zhen Youqin pushed the door open and entered the kitchen. It was rare to see his daughter-in-law stir frying the beef with a shovel. Xiao Qi was squatting on the stove, eagerly eating a piece of beef.

"Try it too." Jiahao took a piece with his chopsticks and gave it to him, and said to Sister Zhen who was lighting the fire, "Sister, move the fire to the middle pot, this side is ready."

There are three pots on the stove. Generally, big pots are not easy to cook, and they are all used to boil water.

But today, Jia took good care of the beef jerky in a big pot, and boiled radishes in the side pot with beef tendons picked out.

Sister Zhen responded, and asked her younger brother curiously: "What's the matter with Second Aunt asking you to go there?"

"I asked my second uncle to make some furniture for me, now go over and look at the wood." Zhen Youqin winked at his daughter-in-law, and changed the subject: "By the way, I also sent the blanket over there. If you want help, I'll go."

He deliberately took the blanket to the second aunt's house first, and then sent it to his father.

The current blanket is expensive, not the best, nor the thickest, and it cost me 32 yuan.

Even Second Aunt Zhen praised herself for being generous.

He also said on the spot that when his cousins ​​got married, he would definitely not be less courteous than this. He also said that it would be more convenient for him to drive outside to buy things, and let his second aunt speak up if needed.

After all, my relationship with my own father is not good now, so I can only get closer to my second uncle's house, so that even if I am away from home, if there is anything at home, my second aunt can help.

What made him even happier was that when he delivered the blanket, he invited a few aunts to sew the quilt, and happened to see the gift he sent. Can't find an excuse?

Sister Zhen saw that it was getting late, and she was afraid that her younger siblings would be greedy when they came back from school, so she quickly took a clean washbasin and handed it to Jia Haohao, urging them: "Hurry up and put all the beef jerky in it." to your room?"

Jia listened carefully and was a little embarrassed. These were actually snacks for himself and Xiaoqi.

But in this age, I dare not tell them the truth, it is too extravagant.

She still kept some beef jerky and said with a smile: "Anyway, Brother You bought a lot of beef, let everyone eat some!"

"..." Sister Zhen saw her younger brother taking out the washbasin filled with beef jerky, and seeing her siblings holding the kitten and feeding the kitten the beef jerky, she was so distressed that she almost cursed.

It's too much of a waste of a good thing.

Even pork is a good thing now, let alone beef. She grew up so big, and she only ate beef once when she was a child.

Of course, when the children came back and saw the beef jerky, they were all very excited, and everyone didn’t grab it. Jia Hao Hao gave each of them three pieces, and they cherished it and ate it in small bites: “It’s really delicious, Fragrant, spicy and strong."

In the blink of an eye, it was the morning of the 25th of the twelfth lunar month, and this time it was Zhen Baoqiang who came to call out: "Brother, you all go over to have lunch tomorrow."

Zhen Youqin was cooking egg custard for his daughter-in-law in the kitchen, and when he heard this, he responded, "Got it."

Zhen Baoqiang was a little curious about the transportation team, so he took the opportunity to ask him, "Is it difficult to learn to drive?"

"It's not difficult, someone taught it, and you can learn it soon."

Jia Haohao hadn't woken up for a long time. When he came in and saw the two brothers chatting, he almost thought he was still dreaming.

She also said hello to Zhen Baoqiang, took a look at him, and felt that he had lost a lot of weight and his complexion became fairer.

Zhen Baoqiang took the opportunity to leave: "Then I'll go first, brother and sister-in-law, you all go to have lunch tomorrow."

After he left, Zhen Youqin put the egg custard in front of Jia Haohao, and hummed sourly: "Everyone is gone, what are you looking at?"

Although he thought he was no worse than Zhen Baoqiang in appearance, he was indeed not as fair as him.

Anyway, his daughter-in-law looked at Zhen Baoqiang several times before, which made his heart sour and his mouth full of bitterness.

Hey, I don't know if I start now, if I apply more clam oil every day, it will make me look fairer.

"Ah!" Jia was stunned for a moment before he realized it, and couldn't help laughing: "I just think he is thin and white now, and he looks like a little boy. If I didn't know him, I would suspect that he is a woman disguised as a man." .”

Blinking at him with bright eyes: "I just like a man like you!"

Zhen Youqin was so happy being coaxed by his daughter-in-law that he couldn't find Bei. He couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth that turned up, and his voice softened a lot: "Come and eat egg custard?"

Jia stirred the steaming egg custard that looked like tender tofu, and asked curiously, "I thought they wanted you to come and help today?"

"Actually, it's nothing to worry about. If you help today, then you won't be in charge of the food?" Zhen Youqin is aware of the stepmother's temper. She looks generous on the outside, but she is actually very calculating: "Anyway, the blanket we sent is worth a lot. Tomorrow We all go to eat at noon."

Jia Haohao also nodded, and taking advantage of the fact that no one else was in the kitchen, asked him in a low voice: "Have you talked to Eldest Sister about the blind date?"

"I said it, the eldest sister also said that we will talk about it when we meet someone." Zhen Youqin chatted with her while cleaning the kitchen diligently: "By the way, do you still remember Chen Weiting?"

"Remember!" Jia swallowed the tender and smooth egg custard before asking him, "What's wrong with him?"

"He said that he would come to visit us during the New Year." There are two younger sisters in Zhen Youqin's family. The third girl is young, so he doesn't have to worry about it, but the second girl is about the same age. He thinks Chen Weiting is a good person: "He is not married yet. , It's a pity that I had such a relationship with Zhen Qianqian before, otherwise I think Er Niu and him can get along."

"That's right, Erniu will be 21 next year, right?" Jia Haohao's eyes lit up: "He and Zhen Qianqian are fine, let Erniu meet him first."

Sister Zhen, who was carrying a kettle outside the door, frowned slightly, but she still didn't open the door to come in, but left quietly.

She hadn't thought about remarrying at first, but now she heard them talking about the second sister's marriage, she began to hesitate again.

From what they said, one knew that Chen Weiting was a very good young man.

If they knew that the Zhen family had a divorced elder sister who was living with her daughter in her natal family, she was worried that it would affect her younger sister's marriage.

Although people don't have those cumbersome etiquettes when they get married nowadays, if they really want to do well for their children, they will quietly ask someone to inquire about the other party's family.

Sister Zhen was just perfunctory to her younger brother at first, and didn't want to remarry at all, but now she feels that if the other party doesn't dislike her taking her daughter, then she should marry, right?
So as not to become a drag on younger brothers and sisters.

On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, amidst the sound of firecrackers, Bao Chenwei came to pick up the bride in an ox cart.

Not to mention others, even Zhen Baoqiang and Zhao Yonghua, who work under his hands, are all smiling and accompanying him. The women in the village also come forward to say a few nice words to him as the vice president. , Mix familiarity, join in the fun.

Zhen Youqin didn't go up to talk to him, but helped serve the dishes.

The Zhen family prepared eight tables this time, but those under the age of 16 are considered children and have no seats.

Zhen Xiaoer and the others didn't care, but Jia Yunqiang was not used to it. He found his sister who was helping in the kitchen and said in a low voice, "Sister, why don't I go back and eat?"

"Ah!" Jia took a good look around, then smiled at his younger brother: "You wait, I'll find you a job."

After she went to the stove, she talked to the aunt who was lighting the fire: "Auntie, the banquet is going to start ahead, you go and sit in the front, just let my brother come here."

Uncle Zhen, who was invited to cook, also agreed when he heard it: "Yes, there are enough people here, brothers and sisters, go and sit in front."

"Then I'm not welcome!" The aunt was also happy to join in the fun. Although the work of lighting the fire was not cold, it was deserted.

She has long wanted to go to the front and gossip with others, but she has to watch the fire on the three stoves, so she really can't leave.

After she left, Jiahao asked his younger brother to light the fire: "You can light the fire here!"

Jia Yunhang didn't realize it at first, but soon he felt that this kind of fire was really good.

After coming to his sister's house, he would often huddle with Zhen Xiaoer to make a fire, and it was not difficult for him to control the temperature of the fire.

Sitting here burning the fire is still warm, and my sister will cook a small stove for me, and when the dishes are cooked, I will make half a bowl for myself.

I don't have to compete with others to eat, and I don't have to stand outside to eat, which feels very good.

After a while, Zhen Xiaoer also rushed in and squeezed together with him, complaining in a low voice: "Okay, you didn't ask me to come with you, luckily my sister-in-law reminded me."

"Hey, it's not too late now..." The two brothers got together, and neither of them disliked the other, so they just ate from the same bowl.

It gets cold quickly in winter, and all the dishes except cold dishes are prepared before cooking.

However, fish and meat that are not easy to cook are all processed in advance. Pork head meat fried with green onions and peppers, stewed fish, braised pork, pork vermicelli, and a few potatoes, fried cabbage and so on, all the dishes will be served soon up.

Zhen Xiaoer and Jia Yunhang were also full, and when they heard that there was no need to light the fire, they ran out to play.

It was impossible for Zhao Lanfang to let Jia Haohao and Zhen You sit comfortably and eat delicious food, and he didn't want them to talk to his eldest son-in-law, so he deliberately kept them busy serving food.

After all the dishes were served, he came to the kitchen and smiled hypocritically: "Oh, it's really hard for you today, and there is no vacant seat in front, so I am sorry for you to eat a little in the kitchen, and I will greet you well in the evening. "

Jiahao is actually full.

She also thinks this job is pretty good, especially when the meat and vegetables are out of the pot, Old Uncle Zhen will give the couple some more, fearing that they will starve.

She felt that even if they went to the front, it would be impossible to eat so much meat.

"It's okay," Jia said with a rare good temper, "we'll just have something to eat in the kitchen."

Zhao Lanfang swept around in the kitchen, but she didn't see any extra meat and vegetables, and she smiled even more happily: "Okay, if you work hard later, put away the plates, these bowls and chopsticks are all Pay it back."

Even if she had considered meat dishes before, she was absolutely reluctant to cook too many meat dishes.

Now seeing the dishes left in the kitchen, I admire myself for being able to manage the family.

In addition, she couldn't bear her daughter to clean up the dishes, so she simply asked Jia Haohao and the others to continue doing it.

When Zhen Youqin came in and heard this, he was in a bad mood for an instant, and said with a cold snort: "Bowls and chopsticks, whoever borrows them will return them, now we are done with our work here, we have something to do at home, so we will go back first. "

Zhao Lanfang didn't even see when he came in. She was afraid that if he left now, people would gossip if they saw him, so she hurriedly said with a smile on her face, "It's because I didn't think carefully. You guys eat first. After you're done, go sit in front and have a chat with him." Xiaobao talk."
