Chapter 429: The Best Sister-in-law of the Farmer's Family (6)
Anne walked out of the east wing with the child and was about to go to the hall.
As soon as she took two steps, Anne suddenly stopped, she sniffled, hey, it was the smell of steamed eggs.
Anne turned and walked straight to the kitchen.
In the kitchen is an old-fashioned earthen stove with a large iron pot on the stove.
In this era, iron pots are a rarity.
After experiencing a large steelmaking, ordinary people have no serious iron tools at home, especially iron pots, such a big guy was donated early.
Most homes use clay pots, mud pots, or aluminum pots.
Although there is no large-scale steel smelting now, it is very difficult to buy another pot.
First of all, you have to have industrial vouchers, and one is not enough, at least four. This is distributed according to the proportion of wages for incumbents in the city, and the average salary is 20 yuan before one is issued.
But the problem is that the salary of ordinary apprentices and first-class workers is only 18 yuan per month, which is not enough to be eligible for the issuance of industrial vouchers.
This is true of ordinary workers, not to mention the vast number of peasants.
The Zhang family was still exchanged for industrial coupons because of Zhang Dahai, who was a soldier.
Secondly, you have to be rich. The iron pot is not cheap, in an era when eggs cost two cents, a good iron pot costs more than ten or twenty yuan.
That's the equivalent of a month's salary for a regular worker.
Last year, when Daddy Zhang carried the iron pot back from the county seat, he was watched by many villagers, and I don't know how many envious eyes he received.
At this moment, there was a cage drawer on the large iron pot, and the main picture was steaming white.
The peculiar aroma of steamed eggs wafted out with the steam, and the little girl in Anne's arms swallowed her saliva with hunger.
Not to mention Zhang Xiaoxue, even the older Zhang Xiaoman and Zhang Yinsuo couldn't help but swallow and spit at the mouth.
It's so fragrant.
In the years when you can't get enough to eat, eggs are the only nourishment and luxury.
Even with the conditions of the Zhang family, only Daddy Zhang and Zhang Dahua are qualified to eat one a day.
Even if it was Zhang Jinsuo, the grandson of the Zhang family, Mrs. Niu did not let go, at most she turned a blind eye to Mu Guizhi's occasional act of stealing an egg.
Antani had also made trouble before, but there were some problems with the way she made trouble, she only knew that she was crying, but she couldn't say why...... It's always disgraced, but it doesn't achieve its goal.
Anne thought of the things that the original owner had done, and couldn't help but shake her head, and her heart spoke, dear, "trouble" should also pay attention to ways and means.
If you "make trouble" well, you can not only achieve your goal, but also occupy the highest point of morality.
But as far as Antani's kind of trouble, it is too untechnical, and it will only make people laugh and highlight her pungent and unreasonable.
Now that she is Annie to play Andani, she will not be so rampage.
Anne put down Zhang Xiaoxue, found a rag to pad her hands, opened the lid of the cage drawer, and took out a bowl of steamed eggs stewed yellow and tender.
Anne put the eggs on the stove, took out a few more spoons, and stuffed one for each child, "Eat, eat!"
"Mom, this, this is my sister-in-law's egg, we can't eat it!"
Zhang Xiaoman swallowed another mouthful of spit, turned his head, tried his best not to look, and said with difficulty.
"Yes, yes, if we eat, the milk and the sister-in-law will be angry. ”
When the milk is angry, she will scold her mother, and if her mother is not convinced, she will return the mouth.
It's just that his mother can do it, but his mouth is not sharp enough, and he is dumbfounded by his grandmother every time.
When the time comes, the whole family will accuse his mother of being unfilial, ignorant, and an unruly shrew.
Now Zhang Yinsuo is not completely disappointed in his mother, he still feels very sorry for his mother.
Although, many times, his mother will make a lot of bad things and cause him to be laughed at, but he knows in his heart that his mother is for their good.
"Let you eat it, why is there so much nonsense?"
Anne scolded angrily, dug up a spoon directly, put it to her mouth and blew hot air, and then stuffed it into Zhang Xiaoxue's mouth.
Zhang Xiaoxue is young and has good things to eat, her happy eyes narrowed.
I didn't care about the egg custard, so I swallowed it in three or two bites, and then licked my lips unsatisfactorily, "Mom, it's delicious." ”
"If it's delicious, eat two more bites, or I'm Xiaoxue smart, unlike your sister and your brother, I'm stupid to read, and I don't know how to eat good things. ”
Anne slapped Zhang Xiaoman and Zhang Yinsuo, then dug up a piece of egg custard and continued to feed Zhang Xiaoxue.
Alas, this child is two and a half years old, and it turns out that he does not look as strong as a child who is a year old in later generations.
His hair is thin, his skin is sallow, and his small arms and legs are as thin as reeds.
Typical malnutrition.
This is still Andani's tight protection, and she did not ignore her daughter, like the two sisters and sisters of the third room, the situation is even more unbearable.
Zhang Xiaoxue: ......
Zhang Yinsuo: ......
The two sisters and brothers didn't resist the temptation of egg custard, so they took the spoon and dug a small piece.
The egg custard is in contact with the tip of the tongue, and the feeling of tenderness and lubrication almost makes the two people who eat wheat bran steamed buns and three-way noodles all day cry happily.
It turns out that eggs are so delicious, no wonder my sister-in-law eats so happily every day.
“...... Auntie, why did you eat my sister-in-law's eggs? ”
Zhang Ernier, who is only five years old this year, ran in to serve Zhang Dahua rice, and as soon as she entered the kitchen, she saw An Dani and a few children eating a bowl of egg custard.
She was taken aback, and she couldn't speak.
Then, without waiting for Anne to speak, Zhang Ernier hurriedly ran back to the hall.
The little girl shouted while running, "Milk, sister-in-law, it's not good, the aunt ate the sister-in-law's eggs!"
Anne didn't stop it, but took out a hot white-flour steamed bun from the cage drawer.
She divided the steamed buns into four portions, stuffed one in each child's mouth and ate one for herself.
By the time the angry Mrs. Niu came with a freshly tied broom and a pimple, the four mothers had already eaten up all of Zhang Dahua's "small stoves".
Looking at the bowl that was licked by Zhang Yinsuo, and the bare cage drawer, Mrs. Niu was so angry that she almost fainted.
"Okay, okay, you Andani, I just fought with your concubine in the morning, grabbed eggs with Jin Suo to eat, I haven't settled accounts with you yet, and now you are even worse, and you even dare to steal your sister-in-law's things"
Zhang Xiaoxue and Zhang Yinsuo were trembling with fright, but the two children, in the end, still had a conscience, no matter how scared they were, they didn't hide in general, but forcibly stood in front of Annie.
Seeing this pair of young brothers behaving like this, Anne nodded secretly: Cheng, there is still salvation. They are not born cold, they can only say that the original owner is too capable, and they have forced their own children into white-eyed wolves.
"Whoever steals it, I eat it brightly." ”
Anne licked her lips, well, although the grain of this era is a little rough because the processing technology is not advanced enough, the taste is really good.
It's been a long time since she's eaten such a wheaty steamed bun, sweet and silky, no side dishes are needed, just eating steamed buns is very delicious.
"You, you"
Mrs. Niu almost couldn't believe her ears and eyes.
In the past, the eldest daughter-in-law also used to steal food, but every time she was caught, she would be weak and afraid.
Although he will pretend to be ruthless and talk to himself, but the momentum is inferior in the end.
Every time Mrs. Niu scolded and chased her, Andani would finally run away, and in the following days, she would be able to settle down.
It's like now, stealing and eating my sister-in-law's things, and still being so arrogant, really, really not taking her as a mother-in-law in my eyes at all.
Hmph, the money sent back by my man to buy something, I, as a daughter-in-law, am of course qualified to eat. ”
Anne pulled all three children behind her, lifted her chin, and said in a deliberately sloppy tone......
