Travel through time and become the wronged stepmother

Sister-in-law Li casually took the eggplant handed over by Jiang Luorou, and then said half-jokingly: "Then I'll be here. Thank you for your respect, boss."

This sentence made several people laugh.

Sister-in-law Li suddenly slapped her thigh and said, "Hey, look at my memory. There is still stew on the stove at home. You two continue chatting, and I will go home first."

Mrs. Zhao joked: "Go back quickly. If you don't go back, I'm afraid I'll have to eat a plate of stewed charcoal cubes tonight."

Several people laughed again.

After Sister-in-law Li returned, Jiang Luorou pulled the bullock cart into the yard. She saw a lot of chopped firewood in the yard and asked suspiciously: "Sister-in-law, what's going on with all this firewood?"

Mrs. Zhao said with a smile: "Brother and sister, thank you for taking in our family a few days ago. We eat your food, drink your food, and live with you. We really feel sorry for you. We have nothing to repay you. We miss you here." If you don’t have much firewood, go into the mountains and cut some. I think it’s the rent I’ll give you, but you must accept it.”

When Jiang Luorou saw that the conversation had come to this point, she couldn't refuse anymore, so she said, "Then I would like to thank my sister-in-law. Come and help us unload the things."

As they said this, the two of them started busy unloading the things. In a short time, all the things were taken off the bullock cart and piled in the house.

At this moment, Ning Tang came swaying in with a bundle of firewood on his back. Jiang Luorou saw Ning Tang and joked: "The fourth brother came back just in time, but he lost a piece of work."

Ningtang didn't know how to answer the question, and he held it back for a long time, "Brother and sister, you are back." After some small talk, Jiang Luorou tied the cow under a big tree in the middle of the yard, and fed the cow some chopped corn stalks and hot water mixed with wheat bran.

After doing all this, Jiang Luorou distributed the snacks she got from Mo Jinhe to the children, and then turned to ask Mrs. Zhao: "Sister-in-law, is dinner ready?"

Mrs. Zhao replied: "I just added the pot when I went out. Calculating the time, it should be cooked."

It just so happened that I bought a rack of ribs today as a side dish for the kids.

Mrs. Zhao said with a puzzled look on her face: "Brother and sister, you have money to buy a piece of fat meat to satisfy your craving. Why buy a piece of bone? You haven't lost much food yet."

Jiang Luorou also didn't expect that one day the delicious ribs would be disliked by others. So he vowed to Mrs. Zhao: "Today I will show you my hand and show you how delicious this bone is."

Then he rolled up his sleeves and walked to the kitchen carrying the ribs.

Jiang Luorou walked into the kitchen and came to the chopping board. First, she washed the ribs and chopped them into small pieces with a knife. Pour an appropriate amount of water into the pot, add an appropriate amount of ginger slices, blanch the green onion segments and the freshly chopped ribs, and then boil the water. Skim off the floating residue after three minutes, remove the ribs and wash them in clean water. After washing, drain the water and set aside.

In another pot, add a little oil, add an appropriate amount of white sugar and stir-fry over low heat until the maroon color bubbles slightly. Add the drained pork ribs and stir-fry, then add an appropriate amount of ginger slices, green onion segments, dried chili peppers, and chopped garlic cloves. Put a small piece of cinnamon and two star anise into the pot and stir-fry until fragrant. Pour in an appropriate amount of rice wine and soy sauce. Stir-fry for a while. Add enough water to cover the ribs and bring to a boil. Then reduce the heat and simmer for half an hour.

After half an hour, open the lid and use chopsticks to pick out the spices, add an appropriate amount of salt to taste, then use high heat to reduce the juice and serve.

Didn't we just stew a group of greedy little cats and smell the smell and come to the kitchen one by one to watch eagerly and slobber.

Zicheng: "Mom, what delicious food are you making? It smells so good."

Zimo: "Mom, this looks delicious. When will it be ready? I can't wait."

Zi Qing ran to Jiang Luorou's side with a smile on her face, hugged Jiang Luorou's waist and rocked her gently, saying in her sweet voice: "Mom is the best, she will make delicious food for us as soon as she comes back." , Ziqing likes my mother the most."

Xiao Liu'er said with envy: "Aunt, you cook so deliciously, can you teach me? Liu'er wants to learn."

Jiang Luorou smiled and touched Xiao Liu'er's head and said, "If you want to learn, come to Auntie in the future."

Hua'er said with a slightly aggrieved look: "Aunt, when are we going to eat? Listen to Hua'er's belly singing."

Jiang Luorou said lovingly like an elder: "You guys go play outside for a while. The food will be ready soon."

After coaxing the children away, Jiang Luorou fried a large plate of water spinach.

With the help of Mrs. Zhao and Xiao Liu'er, Jiang Luorou set up the bowls and chopsticks and a group of people gathered around the table and started eating.

Mrs. Zhao picked up a piece of spareribs and put it into her mouth, and said in disbelief: "I didn't expect this bone without any meat to be quite delicious. After all, my siblings are good at making flowers out of anything."

Xiao Liu'er happily said to Mrs. Zhao: "Mom, from tomorrow onwards I will learn cooking skills from my aunt, and I will make such delicious meals like my aunt in the future."

Ningtang said to Xiao Liu'er in a slightly serious tone: "Since your aunt is willing to teach you, you must study hard. In the future, you will have a skill by your side, and your life in your husband's family will be easier."

When Xiao Liu'er heard this, she couldn't help but feel sad. Yes, I am already thirteen years old this year and will be of age to discuss marriage next year. But looking at the life her mother was living in the Ning family, she didn't want to get married at all. Is marriage the only way out for women? Suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, he responded: "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely study hard."

Jiang Luorou asked at this time: "I wonder if Fourth Brother is free tomorrow? I have something to ask Fourth Brother for help."

As soon as Ningtang heard that Jiang Luorou had something to ask of him, he quickly said, "If you have anything to do with me, sister-in-law, just ask me, and I will definitely handle it beautifully for you."

Jiang Luorou heard Ningtang's assurance and said, "It's not a big deal. I just bought a bullock cart. It doesn't look good if it's tied up in the middle of the yard all the time, so I thought about letting my fourth brother build a cowshed in the yard." , and then go to the county cattle trough to feed the cattle.

Upon hearing this, Ningtang said that the matter would be taken care of by him, which reassured Jiang Luorou.

After everyone had dinner, Zhao helped Jiang Luorou put away the dishes. Ningtang's family said goodbye to Jiang Luorou and returned to their home.

After sending Ningtang's family away, Jiang Luorou quietly put the pork and suet into the space, boiled a large pot of hot water, washed the children one by one, and sent them back to sleep. Ziqing took Jiang Luorou's hand and said coquettishly: "Mother, you haven't been back for so many days. Ziqing misses you so much. Ziqing wants to sleep with mother tonight, okay?"

Jiang Luorou saw Ziqing's cute little appearance, and there was no reason to refuse. Holding Ziqing's little hand, they entered the bedroom together.

Next to them, Zimo and Zicheng looked at Ziqing who was taken away by Jiang Luorou with envious eyes. They also really wanted to sleep with their mother.

Jiang Luorou hugged Ziqing and patted her back gently, and they both fell asleep unconsciously.

Early the next morning, Jiang Luorou had breakfast and began to prepare the tools needed for the next grinding.

Not long after, Ning Tangyi arrived in the courtyard. Jiang Luorou gave Ningtang a lot of copper coins and asked him to buy a cow trough and two large water tanks at the same time.

Ningtang took the copper coins and without a moment's delay, he hitched the ox cart and went to the county town to buy an ox trough.

At this time, Mrs. Li led a young woman in her early twenties to Jiang Luorou.
