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

"Ah Yu, feed the pigs. Grandpa and Grandma are here. We are making chestnut cakes."

Before Chen Jinmei and Zhao Tianyu entered the courtyard, voices came in.

"Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, come in quickly. Grandpa and grandma are planting vegetable seedlings behind the house." Liu Yu stepped forward and untied the rope that tied the fence door, and let the two cousins-in-law in.

"How is Changsheng's leg recovering? Is it still hurting badly?"

Although the two of them had been married to the village for a long time, they were not familiar with the young men in the village. Before that, they mostly just said hello face to face.

Regarding longevity, apart from the gossip they heard, they were strangers.

"You are always getting stronger day by day. You must take good care of yourself and get the root of your youth."

Changsheng stood in front of the kitchen door, listening to his two sisters-in-law greeting him. He raised his head and smiled shyly at them, and tried his best to answer the conversation.

The two of them had heard people in the village talk about the longevity of the Tian family earlier. It was a pity that he was not lucky enough to have a good father and mother, and they affirmed that he was hardworking and willing to work. Most of them said that he was dull and dull.

The words of the women and husbands in the village were really unbelievable. Their speeches were very organized.

Chen Jinmei and Zhao Tianyu looked over after hearing the sound, and saw a slender and somewhat thin young man leaning on a cane under the cool morning light, looking a little shy and reserved.

The originally rickety back, and the thin, hunched appearance that always appeared whenever I saw it, were nowhere to be seen.

Sure enough, the Tian family doesn't support people, and this man seems to have changed his appearance after being away from the Tian family for a long time.

The beard that used to be all over his face was cleanly shaved, and his hair was glowing under the morning light.

The facial features are also completely revealed, and a pair of coarse clothes can't hide the delicate and handsome appearance.

This life is so good!

Chen Jinmei and Zhao Tianyu secretly praised in their hearts.

"Sisters-in-law, sit down for a while, Ayu will be busy soon." Changsheng saw Zhao Tianyu's belly swelled, and hurriedly went to the kitchen to get a small bamboo chair.

"Don't be too busy, we can do it ourselves." Chen Jinmei was frightened when she saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward and took away the bamboo chair from Changsheng's hand.

If they fell down again because of greeting them, they couldn't afford it.

Changsheng was a little embarrassed, so he let go.

Just at this moment, Liu Yu also fed the pigs and came over carrying an empty bucket.

"What are you talking about? It's so lively."

"Changsheng is too polite. You want to bring a chair for me and your second sister-in-law to sit on." Chen Jinmei put the bamboo chair aside for Zhao Tianyu, a pregnant woman, to sit.

"The two sisters-in-law are not outsiders. They are very familiar with each other in this house. They will find whatever is missing by themselves. Your legs are not fully healed yet. You must not injure them again. Please sit down and rest for a while."

After Liu Yu finished speaking, she went to move the recliner under the eaves where Chang Sheng often sat.

Chen Jinmei and Zhao Tianyu looked at each other and looked at them jokingly.

Liu Yu didn't realize it at all, leaving Changsheng alone to face the teasing gazes of her two sisters-in-law, and a blush quickly appeared on her face.

Move the deck chair under a jujube tree in the courtyard so that you can bask in the sun without the sun being too bright to dazzle your eyes.

After looking at it, she felt that there was nothing wrong with it. Liu Yu told Chang Sheng to take a rest when he was tired, and then turned to look at his two sisters-in-law.

Seeing the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law smiling broadly and winking at each other, I was a little confused and assumed it was because they were making chestnut cakes later.

I heard Liu Yu ask whether to make chestnut cake in the courtyard or in the kitchen.

The two of them stopped watching the excitement and started preparing the ingredients for making chestnut cake together.

Lard, sugar, flour, this is the most important thing.

After some discussion, they decided to do it in the kitchen. The kitchen in the old house is two rooms without partitions. It is quite large inside and can be used widely.

Furthermore, the old house has no courtyard wall, only a hollow fence. People passing by outside can see at a glance that they are cooking.

If there is a greedy person, he might even break in to find something to say and take the opportunity to taste it.

Although the things were small, they were still making money from them, so they couldn't be spied on.

Liu Yu and Chen Jinmei cleaned up the pots and chopping boards, took out the lard, flour, and the sugar they bought before, and laid them out one by one.

Chen Jinmei and Zhao Tianyu also took out the materials they brought from the basket.

A small cloth bag contains about two or three kilograms of flour, a small can of lard, and half a bag of granulated sugar.

The two of them brought about the same amount of things and placed them one by one in the dustpan.

Liu Yu took out two pieces of chestnut shortbread from the house, and the four of them shared one piece, then divided the other piece into two, put it on the plate, and kept it as a sample.

"The chestnut cakes in this restaurant are just different. They are crispy on the outside and pink on the inside. The chestnut cakes I made in the past can only be called chestnut buns."

Zhao Tianyu tasted the chestnut cake in small sips. Liu Yan brought the chestnut cake back yesterday, and when she was sharing the food, she felt that her cooking was not bad at all.

"Second Sister-in-law's cake is also delicious. The skin is soft and waxy, and every bite is full of chestnut aroma. No one in our village makes chestnut cakes that are more delicious than Second Sister-in-law's cake."

This is not possible. Zhao Tianyu is an important person in making chestnut cakes this time. Seeing that Zhao Tianyu's morale is low, Liu Yu hurriedly started to praise her.

Zhao Tianyu listened to Liu Yu's serious words, and her face was filled with smile again. She bit the chestnut cake in her hand and sighed: "These cold ones are so delicious. If they are just out of the pot, I don't know what they are." taste."

"The cold chestnut cake tastes very pink, but when it's hot, it's soft and sweet, delicate and pink, and it melts with just a sip."

Liu Yu reminisced about the texture of the chestnut cake just out of the pan, which made him drool when he saw that Chen Jinmei and Zhao Tianyu also had yearning on their faces.

He couldn't help but be puzzled and said: "Don't you two sisters-in-law want to try it? Let's do it now."

Chen Jinmei and Zhao Tianyu imagined the wonderful taste Liu Yu said and cheered up instantly.

Both of them were very agile with their hands and feet. Liu Yu found the most comfortable chair for Zhao Tianyu to sit on, and Liu Yu and Chen Jinmei got busy.

Water-oil crust and puff pastry are not bad, just use flour, lard and sugar.

The stuffing inside has to be prepared, but luckily when Nian was cooking this morning, he had already cooked the chestnuts.

But the shells hadn't been peeled yet. Liu Yu brought the drained chestnuts and the three of them started peeling them.

"Second sister-in-law, please go outside for a walk. Don't sit still with the child."

Liu Yu looked at the bulging belly, fearing that Zhao Tianyu would press the fetus when she leaned forward while holding the chestnut.

"It's okay. The child is well behaved. If he feels uncomfortable, I will tell you."

Zhao Tianyu's heart warmed slightly, she looked down at her abdomen, smiled at Liu Yu and shook her head.

The three of them, plus Chang Sheng who joined in halfway, quickly finished peeling about two ladles of chestnuts.

"This is a bit too much. We can't use this much. I'll prepare the stuffing later. You ask me to make it." Zhao Tianyu separated out most of the chestnut kernels and said to Liu Yu.

Liu Yu nodded, took the rolling pin, put the peeled chestnut kernels on the chopping board, and rolled them in one go. He was very strong, and after a while, the chestnut kernels were rolled into pieces.

I rolled it out several more times until the chestnut kernels were no longer grainy.

"Pei Lan said that when it is broken into pieces like this, the filling will be soft and smooth and will melt in your mouth."
