There is Room For Abandoned Women In the 1980s

Chapter 57 Isn’t it good to have enough to eat?

Roe deer meat stewed with potatoes, a circle of large pancakes placed around the pot, and then the tender hearts of newly picked wild vegetables are picked and boiled in water. It is too hot in the summer, so it is better to eat some mixed vegetables to relieve the heat, cool down, and relieve troubles. .

Every household in the countryside pickles mustard greens and pickles in large quantities. When vegetables are out, the pickle strips can be eaten as vegetables.

She cut the mustard knots into thin strips. The seasonings at home were limited, not even soy sauce, so she could only mix it with wild green onions. It looked much better than just pickle strips, and it can arouse people's appetite.

The food is ready here, and the people who went to work in the fields have returned. It’s a good thing that you can have hot food when you walk in, and you don’t have to do it yourself.

But Li Xiuqin was very angry. She had already been scolded by her sister-in-law for cooking and washing clothes at noon. Why did she still do it at night?

She felt that Zheng Xinyue did it on purpose. Her mother-in-law scolded her because she wanted to take advantage of the fun and pretend to be a good person.

“Xinyue, why are you cooking again?”

Gao Guilan looked at her daughter distressedly. It was a blessing for her to take her home, not to let her be a little girl serving two lazy women.

“Mom, I feel uncomfortable being idle at home. Let me work in the fields with you tomorrow!”

Zheng Xinyue took Gao Guilan's arm and acted coquettishly. Before the space had any effect, she wanted to support herself and was unwilling to be a parasite being fed by others.

"Okay! You can only go there for one morning. It will be too hot in the afternoon and your body will not be able to bear it."

Gao Guilan touched her daughter's face distressedly and refused to let her go. She just stayed at home and served the family, which was more tiring than going to the fields.

“What are you two doing standing around stupidly? Are you asking my daughter to serve you like a eldest lady?”

Seeing the two daughters-in-law standing there motionless, Gao Guilan became very angry and directed all her anger at them.

Li Xiuqin glanced at her sister-in-law resentfully. She had even tried to please her in the morning! As a result, she was scolded twice in one day.

I really want to beg her to stop doing anything and just go back to the house and be the eldest lady?

When he went to the kitchen, he saw that there were big pancakes. Li Xiuqin curled her lips and lowered her voice and said to Li Xiuli: "If we dare to cook like this, mom can peel off our skins."

Li Xiuli’s eyes flashed but she didn’t answer a word. She couldn’t be happy about it! Isn’t it good to have a full meal?

Do you have to be hungry and unable to sleep at night to feel comfortable?

 In the past, we had wild vegetable porridge in the morning and evening, and half a pancake at noon, so we could survive every day.

How good it is now. We can eat dry food at noon and evening, and we can also eat meat. A person should be content. If you are not satisfied, you will be struck by lightning.

Li Xiuqin was very angry again for this meal. All the meat was eaten by the men and her sister-in-law. She and the children didn't get a share. After clearing the dishes and chopsticks in anger, she took the children back to the house.

Li Xiuqin smelled a damp and rotten smell when she opened the door. Looking at the dark adobe wall, she felt angry rising in her heart.

Her family originally lived in the main house, which was a status symbol of the elder's family. The main house was warm in winter and cool in summer, but it was unlike this house which was so damp that it made people itch all over.

 “Mom, I’m itchy.”

Tiechui came over and pulled her by the skirt of her clothes to act coquettishly.

“Mom will boil water for you and wash yourself with mugwort later.”

Li Xiuqin couldn't suppress the anger in her heart when she saw the red bumps on her son's body.

 “What’s wrong with the hammer?”

Zheng Chenglong took off his coat and came in from the door wearing only a vest. When he heard his wife's words during the day, he felt that he had gone too far. When he saw the knot on Tie Hui's body, he took the initiative to ask Li Xiuqin.

"It's not that the house is too damp. How can a child with a weak body bear it? My sister is the same. If I don't tell you a few days in advance when I come back, I can open the windows and doors and the house won't be so damp."
