Chapter 38: Daughter-in-law
The winter solstice arrives at the end of the month, after the winter solstice, the days are getting longer day by day, the yang energy is rising, it is the beginning of a solar term cycle, and it is also an auspicious day.
As the saying goes, 'if you eat the winter solstice, you will be one year old'.
The Cheng family is the poorest in the village, so they have never made soybean buns, and they will buy some glutinous rice noodles to make some winter solstice rounds.
Pour boiling water into the glutinous rice noodles, make rice milk, and then drain into lumps, then knead into long strips, and then pick off pieces of them, so that it is convenient to rub the circle for a while, and knead it into a circle of equal size by hand, people with good conditions will buy some hawthorn and come back to boil, and use the soup to boil out the noodles, so that there is a red dough, a white dough, the red one is called "Golden Round", and the white one is called "Silver Round", pour the water open, pour the winter solstice round into the pot, add sugar, cover the pot lid and boil it, wait for the water to boil and the soup ball floats to the surface, and the winter solstice circle can be fished out.
In previous years, when there was no separation, these jobs were done by the Zhang family, but now that the family is separated, looking at the glutinous rice noodles that the family bought from the town, Mrs. Cheng was reluctant to let the Wang family waste it, so she did it herself.
There was also an episode of this, at dinner the night before.
Cheng Laohan dropped his chopsticks before speaking, "Tomorrow is the end of the month, ask the eldest daughter-in-law and Peach Blossom to come over to wrap the winter solstice round." ”
In Cheng Laohan's thoughts, the festival should be lively, and the whole family should be together, even if it is separated, Xun is also a family, and the broken bones are still connected to the tendons.
Mrs. Cheng was not happy, and dropped her chopsticks with a snap, "I bought a total of half a catty of glutinous rice noodles, and divided one bowl per person according to the head, and asked their mothers to come over, then there are two people who can't eat it, who doesn't eat it?"
Wang took advantage of Mrs. Cheng's temper tantrum, and the chopsticks quickly clamped the sweet potato, but Mrs. Cheng's hand was faster, and she took the chopsticks and hit it, and there was a red mark on Wang's hand.
"Mother" Cheng Lao Er can't even look at it.
Yu Qi said that he couldn't look past it, but it was better to say that he was ashamed.
In any case, it is also in front of the children, Mrs. Cheng does not save face for the Wang family at all, how will the children see the Wang family at that time?
Wang put down his chopsticks, "I can't live this day, I will be beaten if I eat more, it is better to die." ”
It's really weird today, the old lady didn't fall off Wang's face on weekdays, Wang is eating correctly, today Cheng Lao Er helped her say a word, but she got into trouble, and Wang also picked up Jiao.
Mrs. Cheng scolded, "If you die, you will die, who will you threaten with death every day? If you die, our old Cheng family can still marry a fourteen-year-old girl." ”
"Cheng Laoer, do you still want to marry again?" Wang didn't dare to scold Mrs. Cheng, and pointed at Cheng Lao Er on the side and scolded.
Cheng Lao Er was honest, and he didn't dare to fight back when he was pointed at by Wang, and he didn't raise his head.
Mrs. Cheng's eyes were red, "Who are you scolding? The old Wang family taught a daughter like you? Dare to scold your own man? Can you and my father die together?"
"Okay, let's not say a word. Cheng Laohan shouted.
Wang shut up stupidly, in fact, Cheng Laohan didn't shout this, she didn't dare to speak, in the past, she scolded Cheng Lao Er behind their backs, but as soon as she was excited today, she was used to scolding again, so much so that she forgot that it was this.
No, the old man's voice made the Wang family have a step down, but the old lady Cheng had no face, and the daughter-in-law here dared to scold her son in front of her, and she didn't know how to scold her behind her back.
This mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies, and the son was taken away by the daughter-in-law, and there is no way to do it, Mrs. Cheng is in this kind of heart, she can scold as much as she wants, that is her son has to listen to her, but the Wang family is not good, and he does not have this right.
It's no wonder that the daughter-in-law doesn't like her mother-in-law, but the granddaughter-in-law likes her mother-in-law, after all, the enemy of the enemy is a friend.
"Let me say a little less? Why did our eldest also pass the Tongsheng exam, and now he is not at home, so our family is also a person with status, and the daughter-in-law scolds her man in front of the elders, and how do people think of our family?"
"Second daughter-in-law, you gave birth to a boy within a year of marrying into our family, which can be regarded as a contribution to our Lao Cheng family, but this man is heaven and woman is earth, you should understand this truth, right? Mrs. Cheng glanced at Wang fiercely.
Wang didn't think about it, but he didn't dare to fight back.
To say that this Wang family and Mrs. Cheng are really a couple, two people half a catty to eight taels, they will always do shameless things decently, which makes people feel that it is not a shameless thing.
