Zhou Sining walked to the stove, first threw the scoop back into the water tank, then picked up the rag on the stove, and lifted the lid on the left side.

In a burst of mist steaming, she put the lid of the pot on the inside of the stove, took out two chopsticks from the chopstick cage, and then took the chopsticks and accurately pierced the largest sweet potato in the pot.

Feeling that the chopsticks in her hand could be inserted smoothly into the sweet potato, she nodded with satisfaction.

Squatted down with chopsticks and removed all the unburned firewood from the stove, then stood up and picked up the sweet potatoes in the pot with chopsticks.

There are many Zhou families, that is, everyone eats two sweet potatoes, and every meal has to cook sixteen sweet potatoes, not to mention a big man like Zhou Yaosen, who does physical work, and two sweet potatoes in one meal can't be enough at all, so every morning and evening, Zhou Sining has to cook a big pot of sweet potatoes.

After picking up all the sweet potatoes into a clean wooden basin, she removed the lid curtain from the pot, and the water below was not very much, but the water was still boiling under the residual temperature, she quickly put the cleaned wild vegetables into it, stirred it with chopsticks, and quickly fished it out after it was broken, and put it in cold water to soak.

She quickly took out the hot water at the bottom of the pot and poured it into a swill bucket by the stove, which was also to be eaten by the pigs for a while, and there was no waste in the Zhou family.

Brush the pot a few times, scoop two scoops of cold water into it, and cover the pot again.

Then she took a handful of hay from the pyre and stuffed it into the hole, and the flames that had been sporadic in it burned again at once, but not for long, and in a moment the flames dimmed again.

Zhou Sining didn't care about the water in the pot anymore, and quickly took out a small basin, fished out the wild vegetables that were still soaked in the cold water, and then scooped some salt water into a bowl on the stove with a spoon and poured it in.

The Zhou family has no other seasonings except salt, even salt is also a large grain of salt, Zhou Sining found a bowl for the convenience of cooking, and used water in advance to dissolve the large grain of salt and turn it into salt water, so that when the cold salad is not eaten, the salt particles will not be eaten.

At this time, there is no cooking skill to speak of, as long as there is a salty taste to eat.

Zhou Sining is also a clever woman who is difficult to cook without rice, what she can do is to cut off the wild vegetables and remove the bitter taste inside.

The meals were all on the table, and Zhou Yaosen and his wife had not come back yet.

After dinner, she didn't have time to rest, there was a bunch of wild vegetables on the kitchen floor that had not been dealt with, it was all her work, she didn't clean it up at this time, and she would do it herself tomorrow morning, so she took advantage of the fact that it was not yet dark, moved a small bench to the kitchen door, and picked the remaining bunch of wild vegetables in the light outside.

When Zhou Yaosen and his wife came back with a hoe, they saw this scene.

At this time, there is no electric light, the lighting relies on kerosene lamps, and the Zhou family only has one, which is placed in the house of Zhou Yaosen and his wife.

In such a poor family, Zhou Sining must not be able to light an oil lamp when she works, because the work she does is inconsequential and dispensable.

"It's not easy to cook a meal, so you have to run to the door and let people watch you work, right? His father said that your girl has a lot of eyes, you still don't believe it, look, look, did I say it wrong, now you don't believe it or not. Before the hoe on Li Rucui's shoulder was dropped, he began to pick thorns.

Zhou Sining raised his head, reached out and stroked the bangs that had fallen, glanced at Zhou Yaosen, and didn't reply.

She is very good at reading people's faces, although she can't look down on Li Rucui, but she also knows that she can't scold her in front of Zhou Yaosen, or whether she is justified or not, Zhou Yaosen will not treat her.

She didn't want to please Zhou Yaosen, to be honest, she didn't have a very good sense of Zhou Yaosen, but she had no choice now, she was penniless, if she left the Zhou family, she really had nowhere to go.

Besides, she has the memories of the original owner's two lifetimes, and knows that the country will be very turbulent for the next ten years, and it will be really dangerous for a little girl to go out by herself. She wanted to leave the Zhou family, that was to live a good life, so she chose to follow the male protagonist, believing that in this male-centered book, the world must be the safest by the male protagonist's side.

Her task now is to make money, earn enough travel expenses, and then keep up with the male protagonist's footsteps, so that she can have a good life in the future. She can still endure some of the bird's anger before this, after all, we are not RMB, and there is no guarantee that everyone likes us.

Zhou Yaosen raised his eyelids and teased the kitchen.

Zhou Sining stood up very obediently and took the initiative to greet the eldest parent, "Dad, you are back, the meal is ready, I will go and fetch water for you, you can wash and eat." ”

"Hmm. Zhou Yaosen agreed, and was very pleased with the honesty and sensibility of the eldest girl.

How could he not see his mother-in-law's provocation, he was not stupid, but no matter how he said that his mother-in-law was a mother, no matter what was wrong, the eldest girl had to be respected, after all, the grace of life is greater than the sky.

The eldest girl has been doing very well before, but her mother has made a lot of trouble, and she has always been honest and obedient, hard-working, and she should be like this when she is a child, and he is very satisfied. It's just that in the recent past, he feels a little different, but today it seems that the big girl is still the same big girl, maybe it's his mother-in-law who has been making trouble recently.

Zhou Sining didn't know that in just this moment, Zhou Yaosen made up so much in his brain, and automatically attributed some of the changes he gave her to Li Rucui, which could be regarded as invisibly solving a problem for her.

She just wanted to behave well and make Zhou Yaosen, the eldest parent, happy, if there was anything in the future that she could show mercy to her subordinates for the sake of her diligence today, and by the way, she could be angry with Li Rucui. She has this temper, she looks like she smiles at everyone on the surface, but in fact, she is small-minded, who makes her unhappy, when she has the ability, she must also make that person unhappy.

Thinking of pleasing people, she quickly picked up the wooden basin under the wall and went into the kitchen to scoop water.

"Look at your eldest daughter, these eyes have grown to the sky, I am a mother when I go home, she doesn't say hello, this is not me in the eyes at all, you still hum every day and don't care about anything, it's not good for such a big girl to be so used to it. Li Rucui worked all afternoon, tired and anxious, and saw the eldest girl picking vegetables at the kitchen door, the wind could not blow and the rain could not be drenched, and her heart immediately became unbalanced, so she came back and began to look for trouble.

"Mother, you wait for a while, and when my father finishes washing, I'll fetch you water." At this time, Zhou Sining's voice rang out from the kitchen.

Zhou Yaosen listened to the ironing in his heart, thinking that it was really his mother-in-law who was too capable of making trouble, so he turned his head and glared at the old woman, "Okay, don't talk endlessly as soon as you get home, if you don't get tired, you can go to work in the field again." ”

One sentence made Li Rucui extinguish the fire.
