Chapter 161 Abnormal Bai Ziqian
The whole village worked together and worked hard for most of the day, but the embankment was only half a person high.
Digging pits, bagging, transporting, building walls and driving wood piles, no matter which one is hard work.
It is even harder and more tiring than farm work.
Sun Jinhua dragged her tired body back home.
Seeing the cold black noodles, she was full of complaints and annoyance!
The mother-in-law was not exposed to the wind and rain at home, and she only had to cook two meals, but she was unwilling to do it!
Fan's mother glanced at Sun Jinhua sideways. After her throat became hoarse, she rarely spoke, only humming from her nose.
Fan Qian, Fan Dazhu and the other four also returned home extremely tired.
Seeing the cold black noodles, the five frowned unhappily.
"Mom, we worked outside in the rain for a whole day, and came back wet, why don't we even have hot porridge?" Fan Qian asked dissatisfiedly.
Ever since he could remember, he had been eating black flour porridge and black flour buns, following his mother and eating endless black flour porridge!
It’s okay to eat black flour porridge now, but it’s still cold!
Fan’s mother has been pampered for many years. Although life at home is not easy, she has not suffered. Since the two daughters-in-law were married, she didn’t have to do the laundry and cooking. Even the foot washing water was prepared by the daughters-in-law first and then the granddaughters.
Today, she was asked to cook, and the gap was huge both physically and mentally.
Her face was dark, and she pointed at Sun Jinhua and winked at her son: "Let her heat it up!"
On ordinary days, Fan Sizhu and the other two would not offend grandma for their mother, but today they worked in the heavy rain all day and knew how tired they were.
They didn’t even want to move after they came back, let alone their mother.
"Grandma, it’s just heating up the rice, can’t you just heat it up?" Fan Sizhu grumbled dissatisfiedly.
Fan Sanzhu also thought so, "We are tired all day, and we just want to eat something hot when we come back.
Not to mention that there is ginger soup and sugar water waiting for us, there is not even a hot porridge?!"
Fan Erzhu sneered, thinking that his grandmother really regarded herself as the queen mother, and only thought about enjoying herself, and did not look at the current situation!
Fan Dazhu lowered his head and said nothing.
Ana has always been like this, only caring about herself and not caring about the lives of others.
However, he did not need to offend Ana for A Niang, and his three younger brothers could take the lead.
Fan Qian looked at his mother, his drooping eyebrows full of resentment.
It was not easy to finish the work and go home, but he still didn't let people rest!
Noisy and noisy, no peace!
He looked at Sun Jinhua and scolded in a low voice: "Go! Heat up the porridge, and boil a big pot of ginger soup to get rid of the cold;
If our whole family gets sick at this time, it will be a disaster."
Fan's mother raised her chin proudly.
Sun Jinhua opened her eyes wide and looked at Fan Qian in disbelief.
It would be fine for her as a husband to protect her mother-in-law on weekdays, because she was his biological mother after all, and he had to take care of filial piety and the family property and money.
But today she was doing the same work as them, and was just as tired, and the head of the family actually asked her to cook again?
She stiffened her neck and said, "I won't go!
If mother doesn't do it, everyone will be hungry!"
Why can the younger brother-in-law protect Hu Shuiqing and would rather divide the family than side with his mother-in-law, but her husband can't do it!
Why don't the younger brother-in-law and Hu Shuiqing have to dig pits and carry mud, but her family has to go with her!
Why doesn't Hu Shuiqing need to live with his mother-in-law and live a happy life alone, but she has to live under the same roof with her mother-in-law every day.
Sun Jinhua looked at her mother-in-law with a vicious look in her eyes.
She really wanted to kick this old man out...
Fan's mother was frightened by what she saw, and she quickly approached her eldest son, crying and complaining with a hoarse voice.
Fan Dazhu thought of the family property and hurried forward to comfort grandma.
It would have been better if he didn't comfort her, but once he comforted her, Fan's mother cried even harder.
The house was in chaos.
Fan Damu and his friends came back, and as soon as they entered the house, their mother came up to complain.
"Your aunt doesn't want us to use firewood, so we can't even heat up the porridge.
She is lazy and doesn't want to heat it up, and you see she is making a fuss, and she also makes us unable to eat hot food. She is so cruel!"
Fan Damu spat.
The family stared at the old woman who was making a fuss in the main room.
Other men also returned home one after another.
Although there are only three brick houses in the village, other families have also built adobe houses because they earned some money from helping Fan Qian and Shui Qing build houses last year, and sold part of the rice they exchanged for mushrooms and chicken head rice.
Even in heavy rain, the house did not leak.
Without leaking, life is much more comfortable unconsciously.
In addition, only part of the rice they exchanged before was sold for silver, and the rest was all used to exchange for black flour and coarse salt for storage, and their mood was much better than they imagined.
They couldn't imagine how they would spend the next few days if there were no Fan Jin and Shui Qing's family last year, who made them earn money to build houses and exchanged for rice, and the heavy rains in the past few days...
As for the two families of Fan Qian and Fan Damu who insisted that Fan Jin's family was coming to build a dam, none of them responded.
We are not fools, can't we tell who to follow to get food!
Drinking steaming ginger soup and taking a hot bath, they are even more grateful to Fan Jin's family.
The three Li Wen brothers also returned home.
First, they drank the ginger soup in one gulp, then took the clothes handed to them and took a hot bath to change into.
They had a large family, and they had been chopping wood and cutting straw since winter and storing them, and also burning some charcoal.
They didn’t cook as well as the gold and silver bulls, but they didn’t sell them. It didn’t matter if they used them poorly.
Nowadays, thatch, firewood and charcoal can be burned as much as you want. It’s no problem to use them for three to five months, so there’s no need to save.
After taking a bath, the three brothers were even more surprised to see the food on the table.
“Why is there still meat?”
We had one meal last night and one meal at noon. How come there is still meat in the evening?
Wang Guifen smiled brightly: “Sister Shuiqing gave a lot. You don’t know how much the earthenware basin is filled with!
It’s full of meat, and the gap in the middle is filled with soup.”
The broth was mixed with the dishes, and even the dishes became fragrant.
The three grinned naively.
After doing physical work for a day, there is nothing more comfortable than coming back to take a hot bath and eat meat.
The three thought at the same time: Dealing with Fan Jin’s family, there is meat to eat!
And Sister Shuiqing is even more willing to spend money. With her, there is endless meat
Shuiqing’s family also has meat today.
I soaked soybeans last night and ground them this morning. I drank soybean milk with fried dough sticks and sweet tofu pudding early in the morning.
At noon, I stewed vegetables and tofu with rice with lard residue;
In the evening, I stewed a large pot of tofu and fish head, added several vegetables, and served them with cornmeal cakes.
The pure white flour cakes have a very delicate texture, but after adding corn, they have the fragrance of corn and a richer taste, so the family prefers to eat the flour cakes with corn.
While chewing the crispy corn cakes and drinking the fish soup, Shui Qing looked at Bai Ziqian who was absent-minded and asked, "What's wrong?"
This child, every time he eats, he eats like a piglet, grunting and eating.
But today he was particularly abnormal.
