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

Liuyu and Changshengqian have also made these two kinds of shortbread many times.

After thinking about the ratio of various things, Liu Yu started kneading the noodles.

As for immortality, even if he could only use it on himself, Liu Yu was still reluctant to use it.

He was also afraid that it would be difficult for him to hurt his legs while making the noodles, so he left the task of preparing the fillings to Changsheng.

"Sister, should we make the shortcakes and sell them, or should we just make the cakes in advance!"

It's much easier to make it in advance, but the taste is very different.

Although it is also crispy and crumbly, the cold filling is also sweet but condensed.

The fillings made freshly on the kang are much softer and more fragrant, and they come out piping hot. They look pleasing to the eye, but Liu Yu prefers the latter.

"You two have a meeting to catch up with, so why don't you have sex in advance? The taste won't be any worse!"

It was the first time for the young couple to attend the town meeting, so they had to have a good time. Liu Meixiang was too embarrassed to tie the two of them to the stall.

"How long does it take to catch a meeting? The same goes for waiting until the show is over to go shopping. There will be fewer people then and there will be no need to squeeze in!"

Liu Yu couldn't help but smile when she saw that Liu Meixiang was still worrying about herself for the meeting.

"Okay, let's make it into a cake!"

The weather is nice today, so Nian said he would take the chopping board to the yard to bask in the sun, and his body would be warm, and his hands would not get cold if they got the noodles on them.

Nian is old and relies on clothes and hot food to keep her body warm. She is most afraid of the cold. She said so, and Liu Yu and others certainly have no objection.

A chopping board has clear longitude and latitude. Nian and Liu Meixiang are on one side, one is making noodles and the other is making twists.

Liu Yu and Chang Sheng were on the other side, one making the fillings and the other rolling out the pies, working together in perfect harmony.

During the gap between rolling out the pie, Liu Yu couldn't help but look at Liu Meixiang's hand.

All I saw was a short and thick noodle. In just a few breaths, it became thin and long as Liu Meixiang rubbed it up and down.

Use one hand at one end and two hands in opposite directions to rub the noodles skillfully until the noodles are slightly twisted. Then grab the two ends and bring them together so that the noodles are spinning and entangled in the air. The noodles with a twist rope are ready.

Continue to rub the two ends of the twist in tandem, tightening the twist strands, and pinch the two ends together again to merge and twist them into a noodle rope.

Then fold up this strand of dough rope with your hands and spread it out. In this way, a twist embryo is ready.

"This is very similar to twisting a hemp rope!"

Liu Yu looked at it with great interest and found that it was not too difficult.

"It's not just rolling hemp rope, it's just made of flour and edible!"

Liu Meixiang put a little bit of vegetable oil on the twisted twists, covered it with a steaming cloth, and chuckled.

By noon, Liu Meixiang had rolled out more than 300 twists, and Liu Yu had rolled out more than 400 brown sugar shortcakes and sesame shortcakes!

"We don't have much oil and sugar at home. I'll have a meeting tomorrow. If the sales are good, I'll need to replenish some!"

Nian stood up from the stool, patted his back and explained.

"Hey, I got it!"

These raw materials take up almost as much space as the curtains and bamboo plaques at home, and the steamed cloth is not enough.

In the end, Nian took out a few pieces of white mourning cloth given by her host's family when she attended the funeral in the past, and finally managed to cover it up.

There is only one child in the family, Xiaoxue. Xiaoxue has always been well-behaved. She knows that these are all exchanged for money at the meeting, so she pays close attention to them, so she doesn't have to worry about the child being naughty and knocking her off.

When Liu Fusheng was making lunch, he returned home with a basket on his back. When Nian saw that there was nothing in his basket, she couldn't help but wonder: "I'm not talking about holding Piggy, Piggy is here!"

"The litter at Mr. Li's house is eight or nine days old, and it hasn't been weaned yet! I've looked at other litters too, and they're also small. Let's wait a little longer!"

Liu Fusheng frowned slightly, obviously feeling a little disappointed.

"It doesn't matter. It's worth your frown. It will be better to live a better life and be stronger. It will be better to take it home and feed it!"

After finishing speaking, Nian took the flour ladle and went to the main room. The flour was all finished today. Let's eat multi-grain pancakes at noon!

Liu Fusheng was sitting on a bamboo chair in the courtyard, smoking a pot of dry tobacco!

He was not worried about not being able to buy Piggy. Today when he went to Lijia Village to see Piggy, he had no intention of buying it at once.

Lijia Village and Zhuyuan Village are separated by the Moon River. They are not too far apart. Our ancestors moved here and put down roots. People in the nearby villages are not familiar with each other. They all know each other's names, and some of them are distant relatives. , can discuss seniority.

When I went to Lijiacun today, others asked about Liu Meixiang openly and secretly. They felt sorry for Liu Meixiang in their words, sighing that Liu Meixiang had not given birth to a son. Otherwise, in the good days of the Wu family, it would never be a widow's turn. superior.

What kind of family background is the Wu family? Liu Fusheng just doesn't know how much the family has. Everyone is digging for food in the dirt, so they have many blessings to enjoy. The only exception is that the widow is pregnant, just waiting to eat and drink!

"Old Liutou, you still don't know. One of my nieces got married in Wujiacun. I heard from her that the widow used some tricks to make your eldest granddaughter's ex-law-in-law use the money to rent a house in the town for the two of them. The two of them are living in the town with the widow's two oil bottles!"

"No matter how good the widow is, she can't be treated so favorably by her husband's family. What the old couple is doing is not just for the piece of meat in the widow's belly!"

"…………"

Everyone was saying something to each other, which made Liu Fusheng's head spin.

After asking around a little bit, I found that these people didn’t know very clearly, and they only heard about it from beginning to end.

On the way back from Lijiacun, Liu Fusheng really couldn't understand why his own Mei Xiang, a virtuous and sensible girl, could not be compared to a widow in the eyes of Wu Boliang and Yan.

Not only is the plum fragrance at home inferior to a widow, but Xiaoxue, a blood relative, is also inferior to the two children brought by the widow.

You can't say these things to the old lady. She has a bad temper. She will burst into flames when she is kept in custody. She will hurt her body if she doesn't get angry.

Since these things could not be exposed in front of his family, Liu Fusheng thought about it over and over again, and he was inevitably depressed.

"Xiaoxue, do you miss your grandpa, grandma and the others?"

Liu Fusheng waved to Xiaoxue, who was circling around the bamboo plaque, took a look at the kitchen, and asked softly.

"No, they are not good, I don't want them!"

Xiaoxue didn't hesitate at all, shook her head and said decisively!

"Do you miss your dad!"

Liu Fusheng asked again.

"No, dad doesn't like me either. He likes my second uncle's elder brother and younger brother!"

Xiaoxue thought for a moment this time, and finally shook her head.

Liu Fusheng looked at the child in front of him whose originally cheerful features had lost his smile, and he felt a little regretful.

He hurriedly patted Xiaoxue's arm and said: "We don't want them, so let's go play. Tomorrow my grandpa and grandpa will go to a meeting. You can accompany them."

Soon, Nian's voice called for dinner. Liu Fusheng gathered his emotions, washed his hands and walked to the kitchen.

He took a hot multi-grain rice dumpling from Changsheng and looked at Liu Meixiang's face carefully for a moment!

Under the mist of steam, the eldest granddaughter looked calm, with a faint smile on her face. She looked more at ease than she had in previous years when she went home to visit relatives.

Liu Fusheng's depressed mood suddenly seemed to dissipate!
