Chapter 56: Daily Life (I really don't know how to name the chapters!)

The day after the snow fell, it cleared up, and the temperature was quite high, and the snow on the house melted, and water began to drip from the eaves.

As soon as Zhou Shujie saw that the snow had melted, he threw all the snow that was still piled up in the yard into the trench outside the wall, and even the little snowman was thrown out, otherwise when they melted, the yard would be muddy and there was no way to leave.

It only took two days for the snow on the sunny side to melt clean, and there was not much left on the shady slope.

On this day, Zhou Shujie was thinking about picking up the pile of potatoes in the vegetable garden and putting all the potatoes into the vegetable cellar.

Zhou Shujie, sometimes I feel that the eldest brother is very powerful, whenever there is a job at home, they can arrive immediately, as if they have clairvoyance and have a tailwind.

As soon as there are many people, the work is very fast, Zhou Shujie and Zhou's sister-in-law put the box on the pile of potatoes, and Brother Zhou was responsible for carrying the frame back and forth, and Brother Zhou followed the basket in the vegetable cellar.

You may wonder why so many strangers come in and out of the vegetable cellar. Why didn't Zhou Shujie's mother-in-law cry? Because Zhou Shujie sent her mother-in-law and child to the next door, Aunt Guo's house went to her son's house.

Taking advantage of the absence of my mother-in-law, three piles of potatoes were poured out in two hours, and some bad ones were thrown out, and there were two big bags, and the eldest brother carried them into the kitchen.

After finishing the potatoes, he helped Zhou Shujie move the radishes into the vegetable cellar, and transported two baskets of soil to bury the radishes.

You see, don't look at potatoes and cabbage, you can put them like that in the vegetable cellar, but you can't do radish, you have to bury them with soil, and if you don't bury them for a few days, they will be bran.

After all the work was done, Zhou Shujie took the kettle on the stove and poured out hot water for his brothers and sisters-in-law to wash their hands.

After all the washing, Zhou Shujie asked the two brothers to wait at home for a while, and she took her sister-in-law to Aunt Guo's house next door to pick up the children and her mother-in-law.

Zhou Shujie took her sister-in-law to Aunt Guo's house, and chatted with her sisters-in-law for a while, before she and her sister-in-law took the child home with her mother-in-law.

didn't let my brothers and sisters-in-law go home at noon, and sister-in-law Zhou helped make lunch with Zhou Shujie.

It happened that there were potatoes in the house that had just risen, so I fried two plates of shredded potatoes, boiled a cabbage soup, and baked a large stack of white flour double pancakes.

This pancake is two agents dipped in oil and pasted together to make a cake, when eating, it is two sheets, thin and soft, put shredded potatoes, sprinkle a roll of green onions, eat two mouthfuls of cakes, and then drink a sip of cabbage soup, and after eating for the two brothers, they all said that they had eaten it. (I don't know how to describe it!)

After eating, the eldest brother and the second brother said that they wanted to go up to the back mountain to have a look, so they asked the sister-in-law to wait at Zhou Shujie's house, waiting for them to come back and go home together.

The two elder brothers were at Zhou Shujie's house, and they both found a knife to chop wood as a weapon, and brought two ropes, so they went to the back mountain, and when they left, they smiled and said, maybe they can catch pheasants!

Zhou Shujie and Sister-in-law Zhou were at home, chatting around the child's problems while coaxing the child, and chatting about giving birth to a child.

Sister-in-law Zhou said: "There are many little daughters-in-law in our village, all of whom are pregnant when they enter the door, and they can give birth to sons that year. There are also a few people who can't give birth to children, and those days are ...... Alas...... I can't say anything," he said this, and lowered his head in a depressed mood.

Zhou Shujie joked a few words and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry, how long have you been married to my brother, and now you are in a hurry!

"Oh, you little girl, you're still laughing at me. Aren't you in a hurry if you give birth to two at once!" After speaking, he pushed Zhou Shujie with a smile.

After laughing with Zhou Shujie for a while, Sister-in-law Zhou expressed her own concerns.

Sister-in-law Zhou said worriedly: "I'm afraid that I will be like my mother, give birth to several girls in my life, and give birth to a son only after I have enough tables." I'm also afraid that like my aunt, I will be married for many years and not have children. I also know that your eldest brother and my parents-in-law are not unreasonable, and if that time comes, I am afraid that I will not be able to pass my own level. ”

Zhou Shujie comforted her sister-in-law and said: "Giving birth to a girl, giving birth late, what's the matter! How many people are not like this, when they first got married, they had no children, or they gave birth to girls, our family does not value sons over daughters, and no one dislikes you when you give birth to a girl." You really can't be in a hurry to have a child, and besides, you just got married to my eldest brother now. Why are you in a hurry?"

Sister-in-law Zhou frowned and expressed her hidden worries: "I just got married to your eldest brother, and I shouldn't be anxious about having a child, but I have a lot of pain when I come to menstruation every month." I used to secretly find someone to see it, and people said that they didn't pay attention to it when they came to menarche and got a cold. There is cold in the body, and it is not easy to conceive a child. Although I have been paying attention to keeping warm since then, I have always worked more to make my body stronger. I still have pain when I have menstruation, even if it's not as severe as before. After getting married, the better your eldest brother treats me, the heavier my heart will be, and I am afraid that I will not be able to give birth. As she spoke, Sister-in-law Zhou's tears fell.

Seeing Zhou's sister-in-law's sad appearance, Zhou Shujie didn't know what to say to comfort her, so she could only pat her hand wordlessly.

Sister-in-law Zhou wiped a handful of tears and said to Zhou Shujie: "I, I also hold it in my heart every day, it's really uncomfortable, I just told you today, don't tell your brother and them first, if you really can't give birth to a child in a few years, I will make room for your eldest brother." Sister-in-law Zhou gritted her teeth and made this decision.

Zhou Shujie patted Zhou's sister-in-law's hand and said, "No, look at what you say, what kind of room is available." Don't worry, I won't tell my brother about them, and besides, it's not like you can't get pregnant, it's just a little cold, let's go away the cold, won't it be over? ”

Sister-in-law Zhou sighed: "It's so easy to get rid of the cold, I've been raising this for many years, and the effect is not great." ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Shujie's mind suddenly remembered that what he saw in the "Home Remedies Book" in his previous life was a home remedies for the cold.

Zhou Shujie hurriedly said to Zhou's sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, I have a home remedy to get rid of the cold, so I haven't tried it, you can drink it and see, if it's not good, we won't eat badly, right?"

Sister-in-law Zhou grabbed Zhou Shujie's hand with some excitement and asked: "Sister, what kind of home remedies, whether it's good or not, I have to drink it and try it, if it's really good to make your sister-in-law, I will thank you for a lifetime." ”

Zhou Shujie said: "Okay, sister-in-law, you wait for me to write it down for you." ”

After speaking, he found a pen and paper and wrote down the home remedies he had seen.

……

Two taels of ginger, two taels of fennel seeds, an appropriate amount of brown sugar, 1 kg of 60-degree liquor. Soak for half a month, three times a day in the morning, noon and evening, each time a small sip.

After writing, he handed the paper to Zhou's sister-in-law, and Zhou Shujie also said: "You can put as much brown sugar as you want, if you want to drink too spicy, put more, if it's not too spicy, it doesn't matter if you put less, it won't affect the curative effect." ”

Zhou Shujie said again, "Sister-in-law, you drink first to see if there is any curative effect, it depends on the menstrual affairs every month, if the stomach ache is lighter than the last time, it is effective, so that we can continue to drink, it is not good for us to find a way." ”

Sister-in-law Zhou, thanking and thanking, carefully folded the paper with the prescription and folded it in the pocket of her clothes.

The rest of the time, talking and chatting with Zhou Shujie, she would inadvertently touch the pocket of her clothes with her hands, feeling that the paper was still there, she was like a sigh of relief, as if the pocket of the clothes was her hope.

It was just over three hours, and Brother Zhou and Brother Tuesday came back, carrying a bundle of "racks" ("racks" are branches used to frame cucumbers and beans every summer. Each of them carried two pheasants.

Zhou Shujie smiled in surprise and said, "Big brother, you are very powerful! ”

Brother Tuesday swaggered and said, "No, you don't look at who I am." ”

Brother Zhou said: "The two of us went around the mountain for a long time, and we thought that we couldn't touch it, so I thought that one person would come back with a bundle of racks, and just after the fight, I ran into a group of pheasants." If the pheasant had run, he would not have been able to catch up, so he threw the rack on his back into the pheasant flock, and killed four of them, and the others all ran away, and they had to run more than a dozen. ”

Listening to Brother Zhou, he explained the process of catching pheasants.

Funny, Zhou Shujie and Sister-in-law Zhou laughed, it turned out that this pheasant was not caught, but smashed!

Brother Zhou and the others left two pheasants for Zhou Shujie and brought the other two home.

It's the result of some tugging.

A total of four pheasants were shot, Zhou Shujie only needed one, and asked the two brothers to take the other three home, and if they couldn't eat it, they would send one to the sister-in-law's mother's family.

If it was before, Sister-in-law Zhou would have asked for it, this time Sister-in-law Zhou said that she would not do anything, and after general pulling, she finally left two pheasants for Zhou Shujie, saying that the weather is cold now, and it is okay if you can't eat, keep it and eat it slowly.

Zhou Shujie also understood that the sister-in-law felt that the home remedy owed her a favor, and then returned her favor, and later Zhou Shujie accepted it without pulling her.

After sending the eldest brother away, Zhou Shujie put two bundles of racks by the wall, keeping them for next summer to use to rack beans and cucumbers.

Then he boiled both pheasants in hot water and put them away.

One was put in the barn with salt, and now that the weather is cold, it should last for a few days.

The other one chopped it, chopped it, put a handful of dried mushrooms in the evening and stewed it, and ate it!

The two children also woke up at dinner, smelled the smell of food, and were hungry for "ahh

It's not okay to give Zhou Shujiele "Ahhhh

"Ahh

"Ahh

"Hahahaha! Look at you guys! Are you all little gluttonous cats?"
