In the evening, the family finished dinner and sent Su's mother away. Ye Mingyuan was pouring hot water to wash Su Jiao's feet when Sun Tong just came to apologize with a shivering Tiezhu Niang.

Su Jiao looked at Tiezhu Niang's expression and knew that Tiezhu Niang was frightened by what she said to Ye Mingyuan that afternoon.

Thinking about it, a rural woman who earns work points in the fields every day can only go to the county town a few times every year. She has no contact with any public security officers. She was scared to death when she heard that Ye Mingyuan wanted the police to investigate her.

"Mingyuan, I'm sorry, I just found out that my wife is talking nonsense in front of you again." Sun Tonggang lowered his head and said guiltily.

But since Sun Tonggang said bad things about Su Jiao in front of Ye Mingyuan, Ye Mingyuan has never worked with him again, and he will not say anything if he can.

Sun Tonggang had always wanted to ease the relationship with Ye Mingyuan, but he never found a chance. As a result, his wife directly offended Ye Mingyuan this time.

Su Jiao didn't say anything. To be honest, she looked down on Sun Tonggang. He was honest and dull. She knew what kind of person her wife was, but she didn't care. She just took whatever she said.

If he married a wife like Wu Xiaoqin, his family would be better off, but he married a woman like Tiezhu Niang who doesn't do anything serious and talks nonsense all day long. If he continues like this in the future, he might have to follow Tiezhu Niang. What a pain.

It's better to stay away from such people.

Ye Mingyuan glanced at Sun Tonggang indifferently, "You'd better ask your wife to control her mouth in the future. If she talks nonsense every day, sooner or later your family will suffer because of her mouth."

"Haven't we all apologized to you? Why do you curse our family?" Tie Zhuniang, who had been lowering her head behind Sun Tonggang, exploded when she heard Ye Mingyuan's words.

Sun Tongang hurriedly tugged on Tiezhu Niang's sleeve to signal her not to speak.

Tiezhu Niang had just spoken without thinking. After she finished speaking, she realized that she was here to apologize and quickly lowered her head.

"Okay, look at your wife's appearance. We can't bear your family's apology. Don't let me hear her nonsense in the future, otherwise don't blame me for being merciless." Ye Mingyuan Looking at Sun Tonggang and his wife with expressionless faces, they raised their hands to see off the guests.

"Mingyuan, you..." Sun Tonggang wanted to continue talking.

Ye Mingyuan raised his hand to see off the guests again.

Sun Tonggang and his wife had no choice but to leave in despair.

Ye Mingyuan walked to the yard and closed the door, then returned to the house and continued to pour water for Su Jiao to soak her feet, completely ignoring the two people just now.

Ye Mingyuan thought to himself that Sun Tonggang and his wife had better think clearly and not get involved again. As the saying goes, do it again and again, not again and again. Don't blame him for being rude next time.

The next morning, it was already three o'clock in the morning when Su Jiao woke up. Su Jiao stretched out comfortably.

She was the only one left on the kang, and there were faint voices coming from the kitchen.

The windows at home were sealed with plastic sheets to prevent ventilation. Ye Mingyuan was afraid that Su Jiao would get cold, so the firewood in the stove was not cut off, and the kang was kept warm every day.

The bed was extremely comfortable and warm, and since she didn't have to work or do housework, Su Jiao had become more and more lazy recently, lying on the kang until midnight every day.

Before, Ye Mingyuan wanted to ask her to get up and have breakfast before going to bed, and Su Jiao got into a bad temper. From then on, Ye Mingyuan and Su's mother followed her, warming breakfast in a pot every day until she remembered it. eat.

After Su Jiao had slept enough, she prepared to put on her clothes and get out of the kang. Her clothes were under the mattress.

Every day after getting up, Ye Mingyuan would put Su Jiao's clothes under the mattress to warm them, so that Su Jiao wouldn't feel cold when she got up and put them on.

Su Jiao got dressed and opened the door and found Su's mother and Ye Mingyuan making pickled vegetables in the kitchen.

"Is it frosty?" Su Jiao asked aloud.

"Daughter-in-law, you're awake." Ye Mingyuan, who was busy chopping cabbage roots, quickly looked up when he heard the sound and found that Su Jiao had already gotten up.

Mother Su, who was washing cabbage, saw Su Jiao woke up. She immediately washed her hands, walked to the stove, opened the lid of the pot, took out the breakfast prepared for Su Jiao, and pulled Su Jiao back to the house, "Jiaojiao, wake up, hurry up." Go back to the house and eat breakfast first."

"Mom, if I don't go back to the house, I will eat in the kitchen and talk to you. I am very bored in the house alone." Su Jiao said coquettishly.

In the end, Su's mother couldn't resist Su Jiao's coquettishness and had no choice but to comply with Su Jiao's wishes.

For breakfast, Su's mother cooked millet porridge and egg custard. Su Jiao held the bowl and ate while watching Ye Mingyuan and Su's mother busy.

Ye Mingyuan was chopping vegetable roots and talking to Su Jiao, saying that when he woke up this morning, he found it was frosty, and then he collected all the cabbages and radishes in his own plot.

The radishes and most of the cabbage are put in the vegetable cellar, and the ones outside will be made into pickled vegetables.

Su Jiao also knew how to pickle sauerkraut. In her previous life, when she was on weekend break in the winter, Su Jiao stayed at home and learned online. She even practiced it, and the final result was quite good.

When Su Jiao was growing cabbage, she had thought that after the frost came and the cabbage and radish were harvested, she could make part of it to make pickled sauerkraut, and dry some radish to mix with pickles. However, her pregnancy broke all her plans. Now she I was like a protected animal at home, not allowed to do this or touch that. I could only eat and sleep every day, and I gained a few pounds.

Su Jiao saw Ye Mingyuan chopping cabbage roots, and couldn't help but ask her doubts, why didn't they just chop them off at the roots when harvesting the cabbage, which would save time and effort? Why did they have to dig it out and chop it off in vain?

Su Jiao's question really stumped Ye Mingyuan. He looked at Su Jiao in confusion, not knowing how to explain it.

Ye Mingyuan just saw that the Ye family's parents did this, so he did it without knowing the reason.

The couple stared at each other for a long time to no avail, and finally turned to look at Mother Su.

Mother Su looked at the confused couple, held back her smile and began to explain.

It turns out that by pulling out the roots when harvesting, the freshness of the cabbage can be maintained during storage, and the storage time will be longer. Moreover, if the cabbage is pulled out by the roots, the cabbage will continue to grow slowly during storage.

Ye Mingyuan and Su Jiao exclaimed that it was magical.

Su Jiao had finished her breakfast, and Ye Mingyuan and Su Mu had finished the preparations for pickling the sauerkraut, and the official pickling process had begun.

Mother Su first put the cleaned cabbage into the boiling pot, then pressed the cabbage with a sharpened wooden stick and blanched it for a while, then quickly picked it up and put it in a basin of cold water to soak in cold water.

Ye Mingyuan took out the cabbage that had been soaked in cold water and placed it on a sloping wooden board in the yard to control the water.

Mother Su and Ye Mingyuan, one ironing and the other drying, cooperated very well in the assembly line work, and they were all placed in a short time.

After a while, when the cabbages in the yard were completely cool, Ye Mingyuan carried them back to the house one by one. Mother Su put them one by one into the pre-washed jar, and finally compacted the cabbages, and then pressed them again. Serve pickled cabbage stone.

In this way, the preliminary work of pickling sauerkraut is completed.

Mother Su also asked Ye Mingyuan to wait for two or three days for the cabbage to come out of the water and let him press it again, and then fill the tank with water, so that he could finally wait for a month to pickle the sauerkraut.

Ye Mingyuan nodded repeatedly to express that he remembered.

When the two of them finally finished their work, Su's mother went to make lunch, and Ye Mingyuan began to clean up the kitchen.

The freshly harvested cabbage was sweet and refreshing, so Su’s mother made vinegar cabbage for lunch.

During the meal, Su Jiao had a huge appetite after eating vinegar cabbage, and ate almost double the usual amount.

Ye Mingyuan and Ye Yao also praised Su's mother for the delicious food, which made Su's mother smile and narrow her eyes.
