The widowed sister-in-law is embarrassed, she criticizes the villain like he only wants to be a love

Liu Wenniang put down her work and hurried out. Yan Shu took out a bag of yeast powder, two Chinese cabbages, a handful of green onions and a piece of fat and thin pork leg from the space.

When Liu Wenniang and Yan Wu brought the food in, they saw a pile of things Yan Shu put on the small wooden table.

Liu Wenniang ordered Yan Wu to put the flour on the wooden shelf in front of the stove, and then asked him to run and get the chopping board for chopping meat.

Yan Wu responded and turned around and walked out.

Liu Wenniang glanced at the large piece of pork on the table: "Daughter, are we going to use such a large piece of meat to make steamed buns?"

She estimated that there were four kilograms of meat. If it were up to her to prepare the stuffing herself, she would really be reluctant to part with it.

"Our family lost a lot of weight while escaping from the famine. It was not convenient to cook in the team before. Now that we can finally settle down, we naturally need to eat some good food to make up for it. My daughter has money in her hands, so you don't have to worry about money. .”

Thinking of something, Yan Shu took out a thousand-tael silver note from his arms and stuffed it into Liu Wenniang's hand.

"Mom, please keep the money. I think the house we live in is quite old. If we just repair it, I'm afraid we won't be able to live in it for long. We'll live like this for the time being. After spring, we can find a group of craftsmen to knock it down and build a new house. "

Liu Wenniang saw the word "thousand" on the banknote. She knew only a few characters, but she could guess that the banknote was of a large denomination, and she immediately wanted to return it.

"Mom has money in her hands. You gave me more than five hundred taels before we fled the famine, but you haven't used a penny of that money. There is also the money your second brother and third brother earned from helping you buy mooncakes. They belong to the family. Boy, they should have paid for the building of the house, not to mention that the mother wanted to live in the village for a long time and keep a low profile, so she just built five ordinary houses. After all, it only cost thirty or forty taels of silver. This money is still safe in your hands."

Yan Shu shook his head, stretched out his hand to hold Liu Wenniang's hand and said, "Mom, if I'm not with you one day, leaving some money on you will be an extra guarantee, and I can feel more at ease outside."

Liu Wenniang held Yan Shu's hand tightly as soon as she heard what she said: "Our family has finally settled down, but we can't be separated anymore. It's better for you, a girl, to stay with your parents."

Yan Shu smiled and said: "I'm just making an analogy. If I can stay with my parents all the time, I won't be happy yet. But no one can predict what will happen in the future. It's always good for you to save more money."

Seeing Yan Shu's firm attitude, Liu Wenniang pondered for a while and then nodded in agreement.

"Then Mom will save it for you first, and then you can ask for it when you need it."

"You can spend it as you should. Last time I sold plague prescriptions and earned three thousand taels of gold. That money is enough for my daughter to spend her whole life. You don't have to worry about me."

After Yan Shu persuaded her for a while, Liu Wenniang finally had the nerve to accept the banknote.

In the evening, a pot full of big meat buns came out of the pot.

In the past half day, Yan Ersheng took Yan Wen, Yan Wu, Yan Huai, and Jiang Ci up the mountain to cut firewood. They also dug two traps on the mountain to see if they could harvest something early tomorrow morning. This busy work ended at dusk.

As soon as they walked into the house, the smell of meat hit their nostrils.

Yan Wu's stomach was growling with hunger early in the morning. He smelled the fragrance and threw the firewood on his shoulders, and ran towards the kitchen.

Yan Shu was standing in front of the stove, putting the freshly cooked meat buns into a bamboo basket.

"Mom, little sister, the big buns smell so good. We smelled them right after we came back."

Yan Wu stretched out his hand to take it, but Liu Wenniang knocked it on the back of his hand with her chopsticks.

"Look at your dirty hands, wash them quickly."

Yan Wu rubbed the back of his hand that was red from being beaten, and smiled with his big white teeth.

"I'm so hungry and all I can think about is the delicious big buns. I'm going to wash my hands right now."

Yan Shu smiled and said: "There is also winter melon and pork ribs soup. Let's light the fire here. Let's have dinner in the kitchen."

"Okay, I'm going to wash my hands and call dad and the others to come over for dinner."

Yan Shu cleaned the wooden table where he was eating, and Liu Wenniang poured out the pork rib soup.

Yan Shu walked to the stove and took a look into the iron pot. When she was stewing the ribs tonight, she deliberately added more water, and now there was still half of it in the iron pot.

"Mom, there is still a lot of soup in the iron pot. I will ask the eldest brother, the second brother, and the three of them to deliver some to Aunt Mei, Brother Qi, and Wen Yutang respectively in the yard later."

Liu Wenniang hurriedly agreed: "I think so too. These three families are now our neighbors. Needless to say, your Aunt Mei's family has taken good care of us all the way. Brother Qi has a good relationship with you, and we are neighbors across the street. , I have to send some over. The children Wen Yutang and Erzhu are orphans. They stayed here because of you. Our family is too busy to help, but we still have something to eat. We steamed two tonight. Big pot of steamed buns, I’ll send them some to try later.”

As soon as Liu Wenniang finished speaking, Yan Ersheng walked in with four boys who had washed up.

Liu Wenniang filled three bowls of pork ribs soup with the big noodle bowls used by men in her family. There were several pieces of pork ribs in each bowl.

"You three go and deliver it to Aunt Mei's house, Brother Qi's house, Wen Yutang and Erzhu's house."

"Okay, mother."

Jiang Ci also came over.

"I'll come too."

"No, just let the three of them send it off. Erlang, you and your second uncle sit down and eat first."

Jiang Ci smiled and said, "I happen to be looking for Wen Yutang, so you can eat first."

After saying this, he picked up the big basket of steamed buns from the stove. Liu Wenniang put thirty large meat buns into the basket and distributed them equally among the three families.

The four of them walked out of the house together. Opposite was Aunt Mei's house. Yan Huai stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Yan Xiangyang, who was chopping firewood in the yard, heard the noise and immediately came over to open the door.

Yan Huai, Yan Wen, Yan Wu, Erlang? Why are you here suddenly so late? "

Yan Wu stepped forward: "Quick, quick, go to your house and bring a plate over. The pork rib soup is still hot. It won't taste good when it gets cold."

Yan Xiangyang saw the bowl of broth in Yan Wu's hand and immediately understood what was going on.

"Dad, Mom, Aunt Wen Niang has brought us food."

Aunt Mei, who was preparing to finish cooking in the kitchen, stood up quickly and went out to greet her.

Yan Wu smiled and handed a large bowl of pork rib soup to Aunt Mei: "Aunt, my mother and little sister made dinner. I thought you guys haven't eaten yet, so I sent you some."

"Oh, why did your mother send so much food to my family again? This meat is so valuable, we can't always let your family spend money."

"My family has stewed a big pot of pork rib soup tonight, and we can't finish it in one meal. Moreover, my little sister also steamed big buns and brought some for you, so you won't have to cook tonight."

Yan Dahu came over and said: "Yan Wu, tell your parents, just keep this good food for yourself from now on. You have taken enough care of our family, and we can't always let you spend money."
