The husband's son-in-law

When the partition wall of the Zhang family scolded, the stewed chicken in the kitchen of the Li family was almost done.

Gu Zhao read the book all morning, smelled the smell and was hungry, so he stretched himself, put down the book in his hand and went to the kitchen, just as he walked out of the main room, he heard scolding from the low wall.

"Sister, it will be ready soon." Li Zhouzhou stroked the stewed chicken in the pot twice with a spoon, while uncovering the wooden pot lid of the rear stove, a burst of sweet and mixed grain rice was ready.

Today I eat stewed chicken, and Li Zhouzhou puts more white rice in the stewed multigrain rice.

"It smells so good." Gu Zhao said, knowing that Zhou Zhou was shy and didn't get started, so he just whimpered and said coquettishly: "Follow Zhou Zhou, I am willing to eat soft rice for the rest of my life, and I will eat soft rice if I eat soft rice."

Li Zhouzhou liked the way the little Xianggong hummed and acted like a baby next to him, he was pretty, so he couldn't help smiling and said, "Do you like softer rice, Xianggong? Then I'll put more water next time."

"...That's just right, it's not this soft meal." Gu Zhao couldn't explain clearly, they were the only ones in the kitchen, put his hand on the back of his wife's hand, and said with a cute smile, "It means eating my wife's tofu."

almost.

Li Zhouzhou first looked outside the kitchen, but his father didn't come at the door, so he held back his embarrassment and touched his husband's hand.Xianggong's hands are soft and white, and Xianggong is soft rice.

Xianggong is younger than him.

When the lid was lifted, the water vapor that filled the pot couldn't compare to the temperature of the little husband.Then I heard the cries of cow eggs, saying that they want to eat meat, the stove house is only one wall, and although the voice from that end is quieter than when they scolded just now, it can still be heard clearly.

The Zhang family taught Niudan to ask for meat.

Li Zhouzhou held the spoon in his hand, the smile on his face faded, and he frowned angrily.It's been a while since the two got married. In the past, Li Zhouzhou never showed any unhappiness in front of his husband, and he could say whatever he wanted. It was the first time that he expressed his unhappiness in this way. Gu Zhao thought it was very good. With a smile.

"Sir, you are still laughing at me." Li Zhouzhou was a little embarrassed after finishing speaking, restrained his displeasure, and said seriously: "Aunt Zhang's doing this is not good for Niudan. What does he know at the age of four? He wants ours today. This is a habit. No, in the future, whoever makes meat or chicken, is it possible to ask for it when it smells?"

"What our family Zhou Zhou said is true." Gu Zhao nodded in agreement with his wife's words.

Li Zhouzhou knew that Xianggong was not making fun of him, so he felt relieved and said, "Fortunately, I closed the door."

"Then what if the cow smashes the door? Crying and shouting through the door? Zhou Zhou, can't you open it?"

Li Zhouzhou hesitated, although it has become a habit in every household in the meat-making village to close the door, but he has never seen it, saw the door closed, smelled it, and knew that there is a stewed meat in the house, but still acted like he couldn’t understand it. of.

But Niudan is only four years old, so he can't really listen to Niudan cry...

"You." Gu Zhao knew that his family Zhou Zhou was soft-hearted, and he was fine with an adult like the Zhang family, but the child was really soft and hard, so he said, "I'll go coax the eggs, Zhou Zhou, give me a piece of meat, With bones."

"Okay." Li Zhouzhou didn't feel sorry for the meat, or he was unhappy with it, and he felt suffocated, but he didn't show his face to the Minister, and he picked a bone with a heart.

"Sir, don't pinch it with your hands, it's hot."

Li Zhouzhou took a bowl for Xianggong to put it in.

Gu Zhao thought about the temperature of the footwashing water last night: ...

Then he obediently went out with the bowl, walked to the gate of the courtyard, and pulled the latch. Niudan opened his mouth wide and was about to howl. He looked at Gu Zhao.

He didn't speak or call anyone, just watched.

Before Niudan shouted, Gu Zhao shook the bowl in front of Niudan, "Look what this is?"

"Meat, meat, chicken." Niudan's eyes were fascinated by the fragrance.

Gu Zhaowan seemed to be patting flowers, held up the bowl, smiled and said, "That's right, it's chicken, how did the chicken come from?"

Niudan sucked his saliva, looked straight at the bowl, and said, "Chicken."

"Yeah, this is my family went to the chicken coop early in the morning to pick a fat chicken and kill it. He has great strength and picked a big chicken. If the chicken is alive, it can't be eaten, but if it is dead, it can eat meat."

"Do you have any chickens?"

Niudan nodded, was stupefied, and said: "I have raised, my family has a lot of chickens."

"Look, it's stewed with cabbage and tofu. My family has stewed it all morning. Do you smell it? Does it smell good?"

Niudan nodded his foot and sniffed, but before he could say anything, his saliva flowed down first.

Gu Zhao stopped teasing the children, and passed the chicken over with a smile. As soon as Niudan took the chicken, he put it in his mouth when it was delicious. Gu Zhao said with a smile: "If you want to eat this chicken, ask your mother to make it for you. "

With the meat stuffed in his mouth, Niudan said vaguely that Aunt would not give it.

"What are you afraid of, kid? Look, you came here today to beg for meat. Did your mother beat you and call you out? Children are not afraid of things. Your mother always loves you. You can't just eat a piece of chicken and leave you alone. "

"Okay, eat slowly." Gu Zhao stood up, heaved a long sigh, and said sadly: "Ah, only one chicken died in my house, and it will be gone after eating it. If I want to eat meat in the future, I have to wait for the chicken to die." Only then will there be meat to eat."

Niudan is only four years old, and he doesn't understand the logic, why he kills the chicken and kills the chicken for a while, his mouth and brain are full of delicious smells, he gnawed on the chicken bone and even went to find his mother, he got the chicken and ate it.

Gu Zhao closed the door again.

In the kitchen, Li Zhouzhou had already put the chicken out of the pot, and he was carrying miscellaneous grains and rice. When he saw his husband came back, he called him to eat. He was still wondering, so he gave the cow egg a piece of meat, why did he delay the meeting.

After Gu Zhao finished speaking, seeing that Zhou Zhou was puzzled, he simply said it.

"...I'm just saying, maybe I can't break a chicken." Speaking of this, Gu Zhao blamed himself.

When Li Zhouzhou saw this, he immediately said: "It's just a piece of meat, if you give it to you, give it to you. Don't take it to heart, my husband. How can a cow's egg be so small that it can kill a chicken? He can't even hold a knife. It's okay, let's eat meat. Stop talking."

Gu Zhao nodded.

The Li family came to have lunch behind closed doors.The multi-grain rice stewed by firewood, with a lot of white rice, is very fragrant. Usually, the porridge pot is used to hold chicken, but Li Zhouzhou stewed half of it today, and put the mushrooms he picked up in the mountains in autumn. He dried it and put it away. The tofu bought from Uncle Wang at the entrance of the village.

Uncle Wang is also a brother. He has a skill in making tofu. When the farming is slack, he will make a plate of tofu every day. It costs a lot of three Wen for the villagers. Sometimes people from Dongping Village also come to buy it. Gone.

Li Zhouzhou bought it when he came back from washing in the morning.

Mushroom chicken, tofu and cabbage in a pot, stewed with firewood over a low heat, the tofu is full of the meaty aroma of the chicken, the fungus and cabbage are fresh, half a spoon is attached to the meat with vegetables and the soup is covered on the miscellaneous grain rice, delicious hot.

"We eat meat every week." Gu Zhao picked up chopsticks meat and another piece of tofu for his wife, "This one is especially delicious when it's full of meat juice."

Li Zhouzhou slaughtered the chicken to make up for his husband, and he ate cabbage and tofu by himself, without even thinking about picking meat with chopsticks.

Half of the chicken is so much, Xianggong and Dad just eat more.

"You can eat, Mr. I like tofu and cabbage."

Gu Zhao and Zhou Zhou were sitting on the same stool. At this time, they were very shameless under their father's gaze, and they said coquettishly against Zhou Zhou, "Let's eat together, let's eat together."

Li Da coughed and almost choked, he had never seen such a virtuous man.

But Li Da is really hard to say, can't it be said that Gu Zhao is not allowed to act like a baby to Zhou Zhou and can't be nice to Zhou Zhou?

Li Zhouzhou's face was going to turn red, especially when he heard his father coughing, he was embarrassed and had no choice but to say, "I'll eat, and my husband should eat obediently."

Gu Zhao watched his wife eat, so he ate obediently.

Li's family and He Lele ate meat, and Zhang's family made a fuss.

A piece of chicken is not too big, the cow egg has finished eating the meat, and the bones are reluctant to throw away, and they are smashed and smashed in the mouth. The bone can't taste the meat at all, and I can't bear it, so I hold it in my hand .

The Zhang family, like the Wang family, has no courtyard walls, three mud-tiled rooms in the main room, and a kitchen in the side room.However, the Zhang family is small, with an old father at the top, and a 16-year-old brother in front of Niudan.

But the difficulty is that the Zhang family's natal family is very poor and miserable.

The Zhang family's surname is Tian, ​​and their home is farther than Shili Village, in Datian Village.When Tian was at home, she was the third child. She had two older sisters and two younger brothers. Her twin brother was born with a lame foot and was thin. On the contrary, she was strong and had good hands and feet.

The villagers said that it was Tian who robbed her eldest brother of food while he was in her mother's womb, and kicked her eldest brother to death.

Tian Shi also felt the same way, since she was a child, she always followed her elder brother first for delicious food and drink.

Later, the two older sisters got married one after another, and Tian took the older brother and the younger brother with him for a few years. He was really old, and if it was delayed, he would be the same as the first two older sisters. bastard.

Fortunately, Mrs. Tian looks good, so the matchmaker found Zhang Zhuzi from Xiping Village after looking around.

Zhang Zhuzi's family is poor, his mother passed away two years ago, so he lives with his father.When Tian heard the conditions, she agreed without thinking about it. There was no mother-in-law to restrain her, so she would be the master of the house when she entered the house.

Actually too.Zhang Zhuzi's father is honest and responsible, he works in the field every day, eats and sleeps, and has no objection to his daughter-in-law, even if he has an opinion, he dare not say a word, because Tian's family is very aggressive and loud, Zhang Zhuzi's father can't say it.

Especially after the Tian family gave birth to a son for Zhang's family, she was not afraid anymore. From time to time, she would help her elder brother, give him some money, or bring some meat and candy.

The elder brother's second son was born before full term. Since he was a child, his body was weak and he was not tall.Mrs. Tian was worried about her elder brother. When she heard that Li Zhouzhou was going to recruit a son-in-law, she made up her mind on Li's family.

In the end, Li Zhouzhou refused.Naturally Tian was not happy, she could say something bad about her nephew, but outsiders couldn't say a word, no matter how bad it was, he was still her elder brother's son.

"My mother eats meat and eats meat." Niudan wrapped his mother around the bone.

Mrs. Tian pulled the cow's eggs away in annoyance, and cursed bitterly: "I knew Li Zhouzhou was a bad fart, so generous, why didn't I give you a bowl, what to put in it, just to see if I gave you a bite of meat. I bother!"

"Aniang, I want to eat meat, but I still want to eat meat."

"Eat, eat, eat, eat, go, ask Li Zhouzhou to go." After Tian finished speaking, seeing her son really ran to ask for it, she couldn't help but get angry, and pulled and twisted, "You are not a pig, you know how to eat all day long, I You just got laughed at, and you still know how to eat, you've lost all your face."

Niudan was twisted and hurt, crying.

As soon as Zhang Zhuzi entered the door, he heard his youngest son howling, and the mother-in-law was cursing. He heard that the ox egg had to be eaten, and said, "I haven't eaten meat in the house for a long time. If I'm hungry, I'll cook the ox egg."

"It's impossible to eat meat every day, he eats as he pleases." Tian refused.

"It's not every day. Cut less meat to see the meat, and I'm tired during the busy farming season, so I'm stained with oil and water."

Mrs. Tian exploded, with her hips on her hips and her voice said: "Zhang Zhuzi, are you living a life ahead of others, and dare to open your mouth to eat meat, what do you buy? Cut less, if you have the ability, we will eat meat every day , I don’t want to eat, can’t I? Look at Daniel Sixteen, don’t you ask for money for a wife? Don’t build a house?”

Every time I talk about eating meat, or eating a snack, this is what the mother-in-law does.Zhang Zhuzi was scolded all over his face, so he had no choice but to hide and say: "I won't eat, I won't eat meat anymore."

Don't eat meat again?Niudan stopped crying when he heard his father said that he would eat meat. Now after hearing that he would not eat meat, he couldn't hold back his groaning voice and rolled on the ground wanting to eat meat.

Tien was annoyed at hearing this and threatened the cow on the ground with a broom, "Can't you get up? If you don't get up, I'll kill you."

"If you want to eat meat, you want to eat chicken." The cow howled.

Tian beat up the child, and Niudan cried at the top of his voice and splashed on the ground.The noisy Zhang Zhuzi's father couldn't see it, this was his grandson, he stopped him and said don't hit him, and he coaxed us not to eat meat or meat.

Niudan pitifully buried his head in his grandpa's arms, weeping, and called him "eat meat".

Both Zhang Zhuzi and his father felt sorry for the child, but no one dared to eat meat after seeing Tian.This matter was thought to be over like this, anyway, the excitement in the village in the afternoon was given by Mrs. Tian, ​​and they got together and chatted.

"First use Niudan to ask Zhou Zhou for meat, and Zhou Zhou gives it. Maybe Niudan wants to eat and makes a fuss and gets beaten."

"Hey, poor man, I can hear the cries of Niudan in my house, and I don't give a bite, and I don't know who to save for when I'm going through life."

After saying this, several people looked at each other, winked and frowned, who didn't know that the Tian family in Zhang's family would grunt, and take meat candy to her mother's house every new year and festival. money.

"Fortunately, Zhou Zhou recruited Gu Shulang."

"That's right, the Tian family who donated his family money to subsidize his mother's family is very good at it."

"Looking at the New Year's Eve, Niu Shiqiu has not even found a daughter-in-law. The Zhang family keeps talking about showing the eldest son a wife. I think it's better to take care of her crippled brother's son."

They chatted a lot on weekdays, but everyone knew that they just didn't want to provoke Tian.

"How can you expect Zhang Zhuzi to stand up in front of his mother-in-law? As long as Tian yelled, Zhang Zhuzi and his father are like house sparrows, and they dare not fart."

"Poor big cow."

No matter how pitiful he is, he is not his own child, so to speak.No one believed that Zhang Zhuzi could take away his mother-in-law's job of managing money.

Listening to the excitement in the Zhang family's house, the days of chatting and chatting are about the same, and they go back to their respective houses to cook.After a while, there was smoke from every household in the village. Neighbors and neighbors could smell it clearly.

Aunt Wang smelled the fragrance of Li's house, it didn't look like meat, she didn't know what to eat.

At night, the Li family drank big bone radish soup and pancakes with millet and miscellaneous grains.

The bones bought back have no trace of meat, and the stall owner picks them clean, so they are cheap, and one penny can buy two big festivals.After one section was washed with clean water, Li Zhouzhou took the back of the knife and cut it off so that it would be easy to cook.

It is a waste of firewood to stew, and it tastes delicious without meat, and a pot of water from the stew will not fill the stomach, so the villagers don't like to boil the bones.But my husband wanted to drink it, saying that it is cheap and can also supplement calcium, and it can grow your body——

Li Zhouzhou heard it and kept it in his heart, he just ran up the mountain more diligently, he was not afraid of waste wood.The bones are placed in a pot under cold water, a piece of ginger is placed, boiled to skim off the foam, and simmered on a low heat for an afternoon, the soup in the pot will be milky white, cut radish pieces, and a few jujubes put in.

Xianggong said that eating jujube can nourish qi and blood.

Li Zhouzhou thought that Xianggong was afraid of the cold, so he got into his arms as soon as he got on the kang and took off his clothes, so he had to make up for it.

Brush the bottom of the front stove with lard, and Li Zhouzhou starts to paste pancakes.

Zhangjiazao House.

Tian grabbed a handful of miscellaneous grains and put them into the pot without washing them, so he just threw them in, casually fished out half a piece of radish from the pickle jar, cut it up, and cut it up, there are steamed miscellaneous grains steamed buns from yesterday, heat it up, this is Dinner for five members of the Zhang family.

Multigrain porridge is easy to cook, especially thin soup with little water and few grains, which saves trouble and firewood.

When the meal was ready, Tian yelled at the top of his voice, "It's time to eat, why do you want me to invite you one by one?"

The grandparents and grandchildren came out one after another to serve meals in the kitchen, each eating their own food.Tian looked around but didn't see Niudan, and asked Daniel, "Where's your brother?"

"I don't know." Hungry, Daniel gulped down two mouthfuls of soup first, then took a hard bite of the steamed bun.

Tian looked at it and said, "The big ones can't eat enough, and the small ones can't be seen. I'm just a hard worker..." After talking, he shouted at the top of his voice.

She yelled a few times but didn't respond, Tian swears to blame her, thinking maybe she ran away, and was about to go out to look for it, when she heard the chickens in the backyard crowing non-stop, Tian turned her foot and went to the backyard go.

The left and right cow eggs are playing outside after a short run, which is still expensive.

As soon as Mrs. Tian arrived in the backyard, with the light, she saw the cow's eggs in the hen pen, and she was still clutching a little chicken in her arms——

Her chick!

This little bastard who kills a thousand knives!
