Leisurely Farmer's Family: A Strong Man and His Broken Leg Son-in-law

The days are short in winter, so most of the women and husbands in farmhouses start cooking early to save money on lamp oil.

It's dark, I've finished eating, I've washed myself and I can go straight to bed.

The same is true for Wujiacun!

Not long after lunch, Ye was thinking about the time when Wu Ping and Liu Meixiang would come back.

Mrs. Ye was basking in the sun, sewing cotton-padded clothes for the New Year for her two children, and looking at her mother-in-law who was sitting under the eaves peeling peanuts.

He rolled his eyes, the needle raked his hair, and said with a crisp smile: "Mom, let's make some dry rice tonight. My sister-in-law's family is hosting a banquet, and my grandma is a very polite person. At least I can't bring back ten pounds. A pound of meat!”

Ye secretly dug a hole for Liu Meixiang and continued.

"Last night Chengxue was telling me that he wanted to eat meat and rice. When he grows up, he can buy meat and wine for his grandpa and grandma!"

When Mrs. Yan heard her daughter-in-law say that she wanted to steam the rice, she frowned and started scolding her!

The greedy woman eats too much and is too lazy to cook all day long.

When he heard that the eldest grandson wanted to grow up quickly and be filial to him, his eyebrows instantly softened, even though he knew that these words were probably used by the lazy Ye family to trick him.

But it’s true that we haven’t steamed rice at home for a long time, and it’s true that my eldest grandson is greedy!

"Huh, rice is for the hard work of the family. I am studying and growing, so I must not lose it. I will steam a bowl in the evening. You bitch, don't be greedy!"

Mrs. Yan glanced at Ms. Ye who was smiling and spoke out.

"I don't want to eat. I am a woman who neither goes to the fields nor works, but I have no shame in asking to eat rice with the men!"

Mrs. Ye didn't care about her mother-in-law's beatings. Her son only needed to eat something sweet. When he becomes a successful student, he would eat meat with white rice, while that girl Xiaoxue ate grains and watched eagerly!

Just thinking about it relieves your anger.

What the hell, how dare you expect to be treated as if you are a successful student!

Mrs. Ye snorted coldly, counted the time, and continued sewing the clothes in her hands.

By the time dinner was cooked in the pot and the fire in the stove was lit, the three people hadn't come back yet. Mrs. Ye couldn't help but feel anxious. She kept adding firewood in her hand and kept looking towards the courtyard door.

With a "squeak" sound, the courtyard door opened from the outside.

Ye's heart was filled with joy.

When I saw Wu Ping and his son both making faces, I couldn't help but feel a little strange. Then I saw that there was no bitch Liu Meixiang or Wu Xiaoxue behind them.

Mrs. Ye glanced at her mother-in-law who was picking up turmeric by the stove, and couldn't help shouting: "Brother, why are you back alone, sister-in-law and Xiaoxue!"

When Mrs. Yan heard that her son and grandson had returned home, she hurriedly looked back and saw the two of them holding hands with each other on their faces. She couldn't help frowning: "Meixiang and Xiaoxue! Why, after eating the oil and water of your mother's family, you can't look down on the simple food of my old Wu family." "

"No, no, Mei Xiang doesn't have it. Yes, it's the grandma of the Liu family. She said she was happy with the child Xiaoxue and wanted to stay close to her. She also said Xiaoxue couldn't live without her mother, so she wanted to stay with Mei Xiang for a few days..."

Under the glare of his mother, Wu Ping's face turned red and he stumbled all over his words. As for the Liu family's unwillingness to adopt the eldest son of their second wife, he did not dare to say anything!

"Wow……"

Wu Chengxue burst into tears. He was ten years old and could already understand speech. When Nian was talking to Xu Hong at Liu's house, no one avoided him.

Wu Chengxue cried and cried, but he didn't delay in talking. He learned all the words and finally said: "They all took meat with them when they left. Xiaoxue and her aunt took such a big piece back, and we had nothing when we came back!"

Wu Chengxue made a big gesture with his hand. This must not weigh ten kilograms. When Ye saw it, he was angry and distressed, and his eyes were red.

"Mom, no matter how bad we are at school, we can't be disliked by the Liu family. It's just meat. The things from the Liu family are precious and we don't deserve to eat them!"

"Chengxue came here as a guest, but he suffered these grievances. It is obvious that my sister-in-law said something. Now there are people behind us, and they don't take us seriously. Let's forget about the adoption. I don't blame my elder brother for the loss of the family. The elder sister-in-law is always unkind!"

"Mom and dad will go and take my sister-in-law home as soon as possible. Our Wu family's own business is whether to adopt or adopt her. Why should the Liu family get involved?"

Mrs. Ye glanced at Wu Ping's gloomy look, then looked at her mother-in-law's angry look, rolled her eyes, and couldn't help but add to her anger.

"I think their family wants to use my sister-in-law and Xiaoxue to control us and make our parents bow their heads and submit!"

"Bah, I'm living in their spring and autumn daydreams. She, Liu Meixiang, is nothing, but she dares to run back to her parents' house and kidnap me!"

Mrs. Yan spat fiercely and continued: "No one is allowed to pick me up. How can the Liu family keep a woman who can't give birth to a son? I have to ask them to send them back to me."

After that, he went to comfort the wronged eldest grandson with a distressed expression, but saw that Wu Chengxue's tears had already dried up.

He was squatting in front of the backpack and happily playing with a pig urine bubble.

"Where did it come from!"

"What a bastard, he didn't let me play with him, so I picked him up while he was eating and put him back in our basket."

Looking at the basket on her back, Mrs. Yan felt a little heartbroken. She originally planned to have a banquet with her in-laws, but because Mei Xiang didn't give birth to a son, she needed to bring back more meat and vegetables.

Unexpectedly, my backpack was empty when I went there, and it was still empty when I came back!

It's not empty at all, Yan couldn't help comforting herself when she looked at the pig urine bubble in Wu Chengxue's hand.

...............

Not to mention the Wu family's incompetence and rage, the Liu family's old house is very lively today.

Liu Meixiang also learned how to make good food when she was at her parents' house. The men in the family wanted to have wine, so she and Chen Jinmei prepared the dishes together.

According to the old lady's request, every meat and dish was cooked in double portions, one portion in the main room was reserved for the men to drink, and the other portion in the kitchen was reserved for them.

A big hot pot of stew is filled with fried golden crispy meat and pink meat, cooked with green vegetables and pickled peppers. It is sour and spicy, very meaty and appetizing.

Braised pork with a spicy sauce, sweet and sour fish fillets, lean pork slices mixed with coriander, and shredded mustard greens mixed with onion, ginger, and coriander.

Add a few drops of sesame oil to the salad!

Refreshing and crispy, very refreshing!

After three rounds of drinking, everyone seemed to have forgotten the quarrels and unpleasantness in the afternoon.

In the main room, Liu Fan was the boss of his generation, looking for people to talk to, taking care of everyone, adding wine, serving dishes, and busy around.

In the kitchen, there is not so much fuss. The children are holding bowls with hot soup and rice in the soup basin, and they are eating happily and lively.

When the wine in the main room was almost finished, Liu Fan called for dumplings, and Chen Jinmei took the bowl and hurriedly boiled the water in the pot that had been boiled earlier.

Liu Meixiang was busy cooking dumplings again.

There were so many people that one pot couldn't make a lot, so we filled the main room first. The children ate about the same amount. Liu Meixiang counted the dumplings, added water, and prepared for the second pot.

Everyone was full after dinner. After dinner, the men sat down and talked together. Liu Shan and Liu Yan packed up all the dishes and chopsticks in the main room and put them in the kitchen.

Chen Jinmei and Liu Meixiang were about to take over, but were dismissed by Xu Hong and Qi Chunhua.

"You should go back with your children first. It's a cold day. Take advantage of the warmth on your body to go home and wash the children before they go to bed. It's the New Year's Eve, so don't freeze!"

Liu Yan held Brother Qi in one hand and supported the inconvenient Zhao Tianyu with the other. He smiled at Liu Meixiang and said, "Sister, please help me hold some green girls. I don't have any hands."

"I'll hold Brother Qi, and you can pick up some sweet jade carefully!" Liu Meixiang was about to hug Brother Qi.

Suddenly I heard Mr. Nian say: "Send them back. If you come back, you can sleep with us on the kang in the east room during this period."
