The husband's son-in-law

Yellow rice pancakes are fried with lard, the surface is browned, and the inside is sticky and fragrant of millet.As a side dish, I didn’t eat sauerkraut today. Li Zhouzhou used the leftover half of a large radish, shredded it, marinated it with salt for a while, poured out the water from the radish, poured in vinegar, and mixed it. It was simple and refreshing.

It's not good to eat cold on a cold day. It's not that the soup is boiling hot tonight, and the pancakes are also hot.

This meal is easy to cook, except for the bone soup that has been cooking all afternoon, you need to add a piece of firewood from time to time so that the fire does not go out.Li Zhou got it done in two strokes on Wednesday, and it was already dark when it was time to eat.

There is no way that the days are getting shorter and shorter, and I can't eat earlier, and I will be hungry when I go to bed at night.

A family of three sat in the hall.

Li Zhouzhou made soup for his father and Xianggong, "There is still half of the pot in the pot, I added a piece of firewood to heat it up."

"Thank you Zhou Zhou~" Gu Zhao's voice was soaring.Since the last time he shamelessly acted like a spoiled wife to his wife in front of his father, he has become more and more daring. From then on, he sat on the same stool with his wife when eating, and picked up some food for his wife and handed pancakes if he had nothing to do.

Li Da coughed to no avail, holding a large porcelain bowl to cover his face, and buried himself in eating.

Li Zhouzhou was ashamed for a while, but he couldn't say anything else to the little Xianggong who was cute and cute, and besides, the Xianggong was also kind to him.

A family of three eats.

Gu Zhaoai praised Li Zhouzhou, but it was not a hypocritical and polite compliment, every time the compliment was on point.It's like the chicken at noon. The chicken is stewed badly but still has the elasticity of the meat. The shredded radish is refreshing and goes well with big bone soup. Anyway, it's all good.

Li Da ate the shredded radish and thought to himself, where did the word come from? As expected of a student, even a shredded radish can boast a lot, but let alone, he didn't think it was good before, but now when his brother-in-law said it, he felt The hot soup is refreshing with shredded radish, and it feels comfortable in the stomach.

"Xianggong likes to drink another bowl later." Li Zhouzhou was also happy.

Gu Zhao knows that Zhou Zhou loves him, and the stewed meat, chicken, and eggs at home are all close to him first, including his father. He thinks that he should make up for his body. The two are tall and strong and can make do with each other, but the reason is not like this.

The family has [-] mu of land, so many fields, it would take a lot of time and effort to put them in modern times with the help of mechanization. This is really manpower, sowing, weeding, irrigation, autumn harvest, and pulling them back to dry, dry, and pound rice Shell and other procedures.

It’s true that there are [-] days a year to do hard work in the crop fields, and the remaining two months are also busy. I don’t take it seriously because I am young and have a lot of strength. In fact, I am tired and tired.

Gu Zhao just took the opportunity to say, not to mention, Zhou Zhou is reluctant to eat every time he has a supplement, and save it for him to eat. Can the meat he picked up with a couple of chopsticks make more supplements?Zhou Zhou and Dad have to pay attention to it.

"Bone soup, I still listen to the prefectural medical center saying that red dates can nourish qi and blood."

Li Zhouzhou: "No wonder my husband asked me to put dates, which are not used in stewed bones in our village."

"Sweet or not, salty or not." Li Da said.

At home, Li Zhou Zhou cooks, no matter what kind of food it is, whether it tastes good or not, Li Da will eat it clean and don't pick it up, and of course he never praises it.

"It turned out to be the way of the prefecture." Li Zhouzhou said.

Gu Zhao took a sip of the soup, shook his head and said, "No, it's what the medical clinic tells pregnant women."

"Cough cough cough——" Li Dagang took a big sip, thinking that he had to try the recipe of the people in the prefecture and county, and tasted it carefully, but he heard that it was a woman who drank it, or a pregnant woman. Suddenly choked.

Li Zhouzhou was also stunned, but he didn't say anything about his husband, there must be a reason for his husband to ask him to do this.

"Father, Zhou Zhou, listen to me." Seeing that his father was choking, and his face was messed up, Gu Zhao hurriedly said, "The woman was poor, and when she was young, she had to do housework and field work, and she was tired. It was tight, and I couldn't get pregnant for a long time, and then I finally got pregnant, and even had a miscarriage."

Li Zhouzhou listened to it at once, became nervous, and asked, "Then what should I do?"

Li Da didn't cough anymore, Zhou Zhou also worked in the field and at home.

"The doctor said that when you are young, you need to make up for your body, but the woman's family is poor and has no money to buy tonic, so the medical clinic offered such a trick. The bones and dates without meat are cheap, and they are stewed together. The stewed soup should be white. Drink it often. , can make up for it.”

"When I heard it, the woman's belly was already growing, and her family's situation was better. She bought dried fruit and went to Xie Medical Center. I could only listen to it when I passed by."

Gu Zhao's story was made up in a round and round way, good people get rewarded, saving his family Zhou Zhou's soft heart and worrying about the 'woman''s family situation and health, they were all arranged.

Sure enough, Li Zhou got better after hearing that on Monday, so he felt relieved.

Li Da said: "The medical clinic in the prefecture county is still good."

The focus of the two is off again.Gu Zhao put the jujube in the bowl into his wife's bowl, pasted it, and said intimately: "The last time I bought bones, I thought of Zhou Zhou, you should also make up for your body."

The words were not finished, but they were all understood.

This, this is mended, have a baby.Li Zhouzhou blushed, but when she thought that she was really like the woman in Xianggong's talk, she lost her first child, how pitiful, so she endured her embarrassment and obediently ate the dates.

"I spend money on studying now, and my family can't see the sky and kill chickens and eat meat, so I can only use cheap methods." Gu Zhao blamed himself in a tone, and before his wife comforted him, he cheered up and said, "Our family will have a long life. For a long time, it's not just me and Zhou Zhou, dad, you should also make up for it."

"I'll have to work hard for you to look after the children in the future." Gu Zhao struck again to kill him.

Li Da originally wanted to say that he didn't need to make up, and he didn't have children, so Zhou Zhou would give it all, and he was used to making up for work, but the result:...

So the father and son of the Li family drank the soup obediently.

This one is two bowls per person.

Li's house was full of joy and harmony, while Zhang's house was endlessly noisy.After dinner, when Li Zhouzhou went to clean up the stove, he could hear the Zhang family howling and cursing through the wall and Wang's courtyard.

I just don't know who to scold.

It was cold and windy, so I couldn't hear you clearly.

Li Zhouzhou originally wanted to ask Xianggong if he heard it, but thinking that the Zhang family's swearing was ugly, it was better not to let Xianggong hear it, it has nothing to do with them.

No one in the village provokes Mrs. Tian, ​​not because of how powerful Zhang Zhuzi is, but because Mrs. Tian's mouth is shameless when she scolds others, just like a little widow crying at a grave. The voice is high-pitched, weeping and howling cursing, it can sing for a whole day.

Anyone who sees them will run away.

In Zhang's yard.

The little chicken tightly held in Niudan's arms saw that A Niang shook her hands in fright, and the chicken fell to the ground and fluttered twice. It was not very angry. If it was cold today, I knew it would not survive.

Mrs. Tian was so angry that she rushed forward and beat her up. She was scolded by her family when she was a child, saying things like 'a little bastard who killed a thousand knives' and 'why he didn't die'. No matter how to manage the words, get angry first and then speak.

After being beaten like this, Niudan couldn't speak well, and could only cry and eat meat.

There was a lot of movement, Tian yelled at her chickens, and finally raised them bigger, and watched them sit still, waiting for the chickens to lay eggs in the spring of the coming year...

You can hear clearly from the left and right next door yards, hehe, it’s not just the little chickens, they’ve already sat down, that’s really a big loss.The chicks brought back are small, and among the ten they are carefully cared for, only seven or eight can be raised to lay eggs, and there will always be two or three chicks.

Just like pregnancy, you can feel at ease after three months have passed.The same is true for chickens. At this time, the chickens are not big or small, and they don’t have much meat if they want to eat.

Everyone listened to the lively dinner in Zhang's courtyard, and no one cared or stopped them. Some people kindly persuaded them before, but they were scolded back by the angry Tian, ​​which caused a whole body of blood.

It is common for Tian to beat and scold children, and there will always be a stop.

"After tasting the meat in the afternoon, it's not like I'm thinking about it."

"However, this cow egg is so small, how dare you touch the chicken at home?"

"You said that Niudan is small. Children know what they want, and they just want to eat meat. Mrs. Tian doesn't show the children any meat all year round, so they are diligent in getting meat from their mother's house. It should be."

"That's right, it wouldn't have happened if she hadn't ordered the cow eggs to ask for meat at noon."

"You said that Tian's family broke a chicken, so it won't come to the Li family's head to pay for it tomorrow, right?"

"What's the matter with Guan Li's family? She asked for cow eggs and chickens, and everyone gave them all. What do you owe her?" But when it comes to this, thinking about Tian's temper, it's really not certain.

Maybe Tian's family will go to Li's house to make trouble tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Tian didn't stop beating the child so quickly today. She washed and slept on the kang, and Mrs. Tian was still scolding, but this time she didn't scold the bull, she was scolding the big cow, Zhang Zhuzi might protect the child, saying After a sentence, Tian scolded Zhang Zhuzi again.

At night, the village was quiet and quiet, and even the dogs didn't bark in the cold, Tian's voice became especially loud.

"Sir, are you too noisy to sleep?" Li Zhouzhou asked.

Gu Zhao pricked up his ears to listen to the excitement, but it was really far away, and he couldn't hear anything clearly, so his ears were covered by Zhou Zhou.

"Go to sleep, my husband."

Gu Zhao: ...

In order to be nice to his wife, Gu Zhao could only nod his head regretfully, but he couldn't hear clearly anyway, so he knew it was a chicken thing.Besides, if anyone in the village throws a needle, it will be a topic of conversation tomorrow, so you don't have to worry about hearing gossip.

So Gu Zhao obediently leaned on his wife's arms.

Li Zhouzhou loved his pretty little husband-in-law very much, and pulled the quilt again, covering it tightly so that no wind could get through, so he closed his eyes.

Not long after he fell asleep, he heard Tian's high-pitched howl in the distance. Li Zhouzhou was awakened, and just as he moved, the gentleman on his waist clapped his hands.

"My wife, be good, don't be afraid."

Xianggong's voice was still sleepy.Li Zhouzhou's heart was sweet, and he didn't feel unhappy when he was woken up.

Early the next morning.

Li's family has had breakfast and is busy with their own work.At dinner yesterday, Li Da heard from his brother-in-law that drinking big bone red date soup is good for his health, especially for giving birth. Anyway, he had nothing to do and went to the mountains to collect firewood after breakfast.

There is a firewood room at home, and the firewood is not afraid to put it on, and it is also used for burning the kang.

Li Da went out with a basket on his back, and he was able to cut the pigweed in the basket easily, so Zhou Zhou didn't have to do it.

Li Zhouzhou was carrying a pole, and Xianggong was carrying an empty bucket, and the two went to the river to fetch water, which was also a morning habit.Li Zhouzhou originally wanted to say that the weather was getting colder every day, so Xianggong didn't need to accompany him, but Xianggong said that this was also exercise, and he even told him about the imperial examination on the way.

"...If it's Chun Wei's turn, the cold spring is so cold that you can't wear jackets, you can only wear single clothes, and you will be locked in a cubicle. You will eat and sleep in the cubicle for three days, and you still have to do problems. Your body will not be able to withstand it." Gu Zhao explain.

Li Zhouzhou had never heard of it before, "It turns out that it has to be so hard."

"It's not hard, it's not hard compared to the work at home." Not to mention the crops.Therefore, having fame is turning over, one day at a time.

When they got to the river, there were still people fetching water. When they saw Li Zhouzhou, someone said, "Zhou Zhou, the Zhang family didn't ask you for anything, did they?"

"What's the matter?" Li Zhouzhou took the bucket from his husband and squatted down to fetch water.

The man said: "Didn't you hear that? The Zhang family quarreled like that yesterday." He didn't pretend to be a joke, and just finished speaking, "I can hear clearly, the cow egg smothered his mother's chicken to death Oh, the Zhang family beat and scolded you all the time, and even said that she wanted you to pay for her chicken..."

"The cow egg suffocated the chicken?" Li Zhouzhou stopped working.Last night Niudan howled, he thought it was Niudan arguing about eating meat, Zhang's family beat the children, but he didn't hear clearly.

"Be careful, you are giving trouble to the chicken."

The water for speaking was finished, and it was difficult for Gu Zhao to be present, so it was difficult to learn it carefully for Li Zhouzhou to listen to.I can't say why, maybe Gu Zhao is a scholar, and she feels embarrassed to talk about the excitement.

"Sir, you are right." Li Zhouzhou carried a pole.

Gu Zhao: "You can't give chickens."

"Of course not, why should I give her a chicken for nothing." Li Zhouzhou said with certainty, seeing that the husband was still there, he put it away fiercely, he was afraid that the husband would not like him like this.

Gu Zhao only thought that Zhou Zhou was cute and fresh.

Who can't get angry without losing his temper, that's dough.

Back home, Li Zhouzhou filled the water tank with water, and did not wash clothes in the morning. If he left, there would only be a husband left at home, and the Zhang family came to beg for chickens. scold.

Li Zhouzhou didn't like to listen to what the village said, and he seldom quarreled with others. The main reason was that he couldn't say bad words, and he didn't learn them.Now I know how to knead noodles, and the family finished eating steamed buns, so I thought about steaming them in the afternoon, so I decided to steam them now, while working, Li Zhouzhou thought in his mind, if the Zhang family dares to scold Mrs. Xianggong, then he will definitely scold him back.

As a result, after waiting for a long time, Zhang's family didn't come. Brother Xing said at the gate of the courtyard: "Zhou Zhou? Why didn't you go to wash your clothes today? I was waiting to tell you."

Brother Xing was carrying a basin of washed clothes, his fingers were red from the cold, and he was talking as he walked.

Li Zhouzhou came out of the stove house and led Brother Xing into the stove house to talk, while Xianggong was reading a book in the house.Brother Xing looked happy, put the pot under the eaves, sat in front of the stove to warm his hands, and said impatiently: "The Zhang family has returned to her mother's house."

"Ah?" Li Zhouzhou stopped rubbing the steamed buns.

Brother Xing gloated and watched the excitement, and said triumphantly, "I don't know? Hewanwan has been talking about it for a long time, and I've been waiting for you to come over. I didn't expect you to come here today, so I'm happy to hurry up and talk to you .”

"Relieve your anger."

He talked for a long time without saying what's the matter, even if Li Zhouzhou didn't like to listen to the excitement, he couldn't help interrupting, "What's the matter? I know the cow's egg killed the chicken."

"It is said that Daniel raised a knife and killed a chicken last night." Brother Xing said.

Li Zhouzhou's eyes are round, how come one chicken has become two?

"How dare Da Niu?"

It wasn't that Li Zhouzhou underestimated Daniel, Zhang Zhuzi and his father together didn't dare to eat a single vegetable in Zhang's house without Tian's opening his mouth.

Brother Xing was beaming with joy, and the fire stopped. He happily said: "It was the chicken that was smothered to death by the cow's egg. After the Zhang family scolded and beat them, the family members said that the chicken was dead, so they simply stewed it and ate it."

No, the chicken can't live if it's dead. Although the meat is small, it can smell like meat.

"Who knows that the Zhang family scolded back, saying that no one dares to eat her chicken, I can hear it, anyway, she scolded the whole family, scolded and scolded, and finally said that she would take the dead chicken back to her mother's house to make up for the eldest brother."

"Daniu somehow entered the stove house, touched the chicken coop with a knife and killed a chicken."

Li Zhouzhou said that it was quiet at night, so he came again.

"I heard that Daniel didn't clean the feathers of the chicken, and he boiled the whole chicken in the dark at night. Zhang's family jumped and scolded at the door of the stove in the middle of the night, and their throats were cracked. Here, Daniel didn't open the door. The chicken was boiled." After the door opened, Zhang Zhuzi and his father were dumbfounded and didn't know what to say..."

Li Zhouzhou asked, "Where's the chicken?"

"It is said that they ate them all. Oh, the Zhang family didn't eat them. They were so angry that they couldn't eat any more. They beat and thumped Daniel, saying that they wanted to separate the family. Zhang Zhuzi and his father finally spoke human words. There is no home for a daughter-in-law."

After a night of commotion, it was her son who was riding on the head of Tian Shi for the first time.I am used to prestige at home, how could I bear this tone.

"It wasn't so early in the morning that I was carrying a basket. I heard that the chickens and eggs were all taken away. Who knows if there is any money? I guess there is. The Zhang family's money is managed by Zhang. Zhu Zi chased after him, and he hasn't returned yet."

Brother Xing learned with gusto, and then sighed again, "I'm afraid I'll be back by noon, the Zhang family didn't go far, and after going back and forth like this, what happened before will still be what happened in the future."

After talking about the excitement, Brother Xing didn't sit still and left with the clothes basin, and went back to cook.

Li Zhouzhou thought so too, the Zhang family was still under the management of the Tian family, but it was only a day if the ears were quiet, if the Zhang family dared to come to the door, he would stand in front of the husband.

Just as Li Zhouzhou and Xing Ge'er guessed, Tian and Zhang Zhuzi came back before it was dark that day, and the baskets were empty, probably given to their natal brothers.

Li Zhouzhou was worried, waiting for Zhang's family to come to his house to beg for chickens the next day, but unexpectedly he would not be able to wait.

Tian was restrained by Daniel.

To be precise, after Daniel slaughtered the chicken, he seemed to have found a way to deal with Niang. As long as he was shameless, Niang couldn't really kill him, just scold him, so why worry about Niang.

If you want meat, if you don't give it, you will kill the chicken.

If you want to eat dry rice, if you don't give it, you will kill the chicken.

Tian yelled every day, couldn't speak, and pretended to go back to her mother's house, Zhang Zhuzi chased after him again, tossing back and forth, how could she think of Li's house.
