Travel through 1972 with a space mall

Wu Xiaoqin: "?!!!"

Wu Xiaoqin looked shocked. What happened to this idiot in her family? Was he stimulated?

Li Shoucai took a deep breath and continued: "Daughter-in-law, it was my fault in the past. I was too cowardly. I would hide behind you every time something happened, making you anxious and angry."

Wu Xiaoqin looked at Li Shoucai blankly, unable to believe his ears.

The second elder of the Li family looked at Li Shoucai in shock. He didn't expect these words to come out of Li Shoucai's mouth.

After being stunned for a while, Wu Xiaoqin came to his senses and asked anxiously: "Shou Cai, what's wrong with you? Who told you what?"

Li Shoucai stretched out his hand to hold Wu Xiaoqin's hand and said firmly: "On the way back from the county town, I met Mingyuan. Mingyuan chatted with me for a few words. After thinking about it for a while, I realized how useless I was before. Mingyuan said That's right, I'm married and I'm going to be a father soon. I should be the support of my wife and children, instead of cowardly hiding behind you every time."

Wu Xiaoqin looked at Li Shoucai in disbelief. All the grievances that had been deliberately suppressed in the past surged into her heart, and her eyes turned red instantly.

"Daughter-in-law, don't cry. If you believe me, I will change." Li Shoucai comforted him hurriedly.

Wu Xiaoqin always wanted to be strong, and Li Shoucai had never seen Wu Xiaoqin cry before.

Wu Xiaoqin couldn't help but smile when she saw the frightened Li Shoucai, wiped the tears on his face and said, "Okay, I believe you."

Li Shoucai just saw Wu Xiaoqin's aggrieved look. Li Shoucai was very worried, and he felt that he had been wrong in the past.

He felt as if there was a beast in his chest that was about to break out of its cage, and he was eager to do something to prove himself.

So after comforting Wu Xiaoqin, Li Shoucai said, "I have to go out for something," and hurried out.

Wu Xiaoqin looked at Li Shoucai's back, her heart filled with gratitude to Su Jiao and Ye Mingyuan.

She had been married to Li Shoucai for half a year, and she knew many people in the village who were close to her. But no one has ever persuaded Li Shoucai like Ye Mingyuan did. Everyone acted like they had nothing to do with themselves.

Wu Xiaoqin knew that when her family was bullied by Li Shoucai's two brothers, everyone helped them, but behind their backs they also laughed at Li Shoucai for being cowardly.

Although Wu Xiaoqin is still a little doubtful about the guarantee Li Shoucai just made, it is at least a good start, right?

Ye Mingyuan didn't know that his few words actually woke up Li Shoucai, who was busy cutting meat and chop ribs.

Ye Mingyuan cut the pork in the basin into small pieces, chop the ribs and chicken into small pieces, and put them separately in the pottery jar in the yard.

It's freezing outside now, so it's like a natural refrigerator. Put the cut meat in a tank in the yard, and it can be stored for a long time.

Cut into small pieces, it is more convenient to use when cooking, just take as much as you need.

Ye Mingyuan tidied away all the meat in the basin, then walked to the corner of the kitchen and picked up a basket. He put a piece of fat meat that had been set aside in advance and wrapped it in oil paper, about a pound, into the basket. He returned to the west room and put on his hat. , putting a box of snacks and a pack of assorted candies on the kang, as well as the two bottles of liquor bought specially for Su's father, into the basket.

He said to Su Jiao: "Daughter-in-law, I'm going to go to my parents."

"I'm bringing some shrimp skin and kelp stew for my mother to drink, and I'm also bringing a bowl of chestnuts I fried in the morning for my parents to try." Su Jiao nodded while looking at the things in the basket, and then added.

"Okay." Ye Mingyuan responded and took the shrimp kelp and sugar-fried chestnuts.

Sugar-fried chestnuts were placed on the shelf in the east room. Ye Mingyuan saw it when he went to the east room to put kelp and shrimp skin. He even tasted one at the time. It was sweet, glutinous and delicious.

"Why did you bring so many things again? You can keep them to eat. We haven't finished the meat we gave you last time." Mother Su said when she saw the things Ye Mingyuan piled on the kang.

The Su family is not as willing to eat meat as Su Jiao and Ye Mingyuan. Maodong does not have to work at home. The family only cooks some meat for three or four days. Last time, Su Jiao and Ye Mingyuan did not even finish half of the meat and ribs they gave them.

"Mom, Jiaojiao asked me to bring this. Jiaojiao will be angry if I take it back. Also, Jiaojiao made these chestnuts. She asked me to bring them over specifically for you and dad to try." Ye Mingyuan He hurriedly pointed to the chestnuts on the kang and lifted Su Jiao out.

"Keep the chestnuts and take the rest back. Your eldest brother also went to the city in the past two days. He bought whatever was needed at home. Don't keep sending things here. Doing this again and again won't be enough for you, no matter how much money you have. , as long as your parents know what you want." Mother Su still felt sorry for her daughter's wallet, and quickly stuffed the things on the kang into the basket in Ye Mingyuan's hand.

Seeing that it didn't make sense, Ye Mingyuan stopped trying to persuade her. Without giving Su's mother a chance to refuse, she didn't even bother to take the chestnut bowl, and ran away with the basket while dodging left and right.

Mother Su looked at Ye Mingyuan's furious back and stamped her feet helplessly.

"Okay, they sent it here, do you still expect them to take it back? It's the child's wish, so just keep it. The chickens at home don't lay eggs anymore. I'll kill two of them in two days and send them to Jiaojiao to replenish her health. ." Su's father, who was weaving bamboo baskets with sorghum and platycodon on the ground, said gloomily.

"Do you still need to tell me? You can kill the chicken and send it to me tomorrow. If you ask me to keep something, I think you are interested in those two bottles of wine." Su's mother couldn't help but give Su's father a blank look.

After being married for so many years, Su's mother could see through Su's father's thoughts at a glance.

Father Su chuckled, "Isn't this what the children want?"

"Virtue." Su's mother cursed with a smile and began to pack the things on the kang.

When Ye Mingyuan returned home, Su Jiao had already stewed the ribs and was making gestures on the kang with a cloth.

Seeing Ye Mingyuan coming back, Su Jiao called him over, measured the size of his hands, and started cutting the cloth.

She planned to make a pair of gloves for Ye Mingyuan first. Ye Mingyuan often went out and his hands were red with cold every time he came home. It would be a lie to say that Su Jiao didn't feel distressed.

After Ye Mingyuan took the measurements and knew that Su Jiao was going to make gloves for him, he turned around and went to the kitchen to pickle salted eggs with great enthusiasm.

Last time, I only salted two kilograms of salted eggs. Half a month had passed and I had almost eaten them. This time, Ye Mingyuan planned to pickle more, so he went to the city to buy another five kilograms of eggs today.

After half an hour, the ribs in the pot were almost cooked. Su Jiao poured the prepared potatoes and beans into the pot and continued to stew for ten minutes. Finally, paste the fermented corn dough into pancakes and simmer for ten minutes, and the fragrant braised pork ribs will be out of the pot.

The family was quite satisfied with the dinner they had. After finishing the meal and washing the dishes, Ye Mingyuan went to the cowshed to deliver things.

I didn't take much else, just a pack of snacks and sugar, and a bowl of braised pork ribs and roasted chestnuts with sugar.

Su Jiao took Ye Yao, who was full, for a walk.

After a while, Ye Mingyuan came back, and the family washed and soaked their feet as usual before going to sleep on the kang.

The next morning, Su Jiao was tinkering on the kang making gloves for Ye Mingyuan, and Wu Xiaoqin came to visit happily.
