Chapter 242: Giving Away
"Grandma and little aunt, are you hungry after walking all the way? first drink a bowl of sugar water to cushion your stomach to warm your body, and I will cook when the water is boiled." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"You kid, it's all your own people, you don't have to waste any sugar eggs you boil!" Grandma Lu said with a pretended anger.
"Grandma, listen to me, I am alone in my family, but I raise two chickens, and I lay eggs every day, and I can't eat all the eggs...... Yingfang explained with a smile, and persuaded the two to eat while it was hot.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other and smiled, this child, how can there be too many eggs to eat, it is just to persuade them to eat. My heart was suddenly warm, and I didn't shirk anymore, and I picked up my grandson's heart one by one, and drank it one by one.
After Yingfang waited for the water on the stove to be hot, she first wrung a hot towel to wipe their faces, then scooped the hot water into a wooden bucket, and laboriously carried it to the hall and divided it into two footbaths.
The little aunt, who was used to rough work, hurriedly put down the bowl in her hand and got up: "You put it down, come here." ”
"It's okay little aunt, you can sit too, I'll mix some medicinal baths for the two of you, and the effect of soaking your feet is better. ”
"Medicated bath?" the little aunt obviously didn't understand, "What is a medicated bath?"
"It is to soak your feet in the water with some herbs, which helps to invigorate the blood and relax the muscles. As he spoke, he brought out a basket of herbs from the east house, which was dried and matched with herbs for soaking feet and bathing, and grabbed a handful of the footbaths of the two of them.
"Come, grandma, I'll help you take off your shoes and socks and slowly put them in hot water...... Little aunt, you also soak like this, and when the water temperature is not so hot, I will add hot water to you. ”
"Ah, do you want to add it? Soak it in the water until it's cold?"
"In this kind of weather, you have to soak for half an hour to see the effect. Ying Fang simply took a small bench, sat between the two, and from time to time reached out to test the temperature of the water, and added a scoop of hot water to it when it felt a little cooler.
Grandma Lu and her aunt are so rare that they can't do it.
"Sure enough, it's still a good girl, how caring. The little aunt who gave birth to two sons held Yingfang's hand and refused to say.
Grandma Lu also nodded in agreement: "No, when I was a child, the three babies were the most filial, but it's a pity that ...... "Shameless." Every time I think of my daughter and aunt who died early, Grandma Lu can't stop being sad.
Yingfang had to do everything she could to comfort them.
Grandma Lu felt even more ashamed of this granddaughter.
Although there is no blood relationship between them, they are adopted by their daughters and sons-in-law, and they are such well-behaved and sensible children, Grandma Lu has no idea of being intimate. The reason why I didn't move around was because of the conditions. Now that I'm getting married, even if I am in debt, I have to come here.
Thinking so, Grandma Lu asked Yingfang to open the basket picked by her little daughter-in-law, and soaked her feet and commanded remotely: "In the blue baggage on the top are the clothes and shoes made for you by your two aunts, the size is comparable to that of your mother at that time, you take it out to try if it fits, your little uncle has a needle and thread, and if it doesn't fit, let her change it at any time." When is the wedding wine set for? You didn't say anything specific in your letter, only the year before. Years ago, the production team had long hair and short hair, I was afraid that your two uncles would not be able to carry it out, and your eldest aunt was pregnant again, and the fetus was not very stable, so I had to wait until all of them were sent down before leaving, fortunately, I didn't miss the ......"
Yingfang listened to her grandmother's chatter, and took out the new clothes and embroidered shoes that she gave her in the basket.
The clothes are a bright red diagonal cotton jacket, the cotton is very soft and smooth, and it doesn't look bloated at all. The cuffs and neckline are embroidered with yellow and green double-strand silk threads, implying lingering. The embroidered shoes with the clothes are mainly emerald green, black velvet edges, and the uppers have red peonies and yellow stamens, implying that the flowers are rich and rich.
"Thank you, grandma, thank you, little aunt, and thank my aunt and uncle on my behalf. I love it!" Ying Fang bent her eyebrows and thanked sincerely.
"A family doesn't speak two words. Grandma Lu saw that her granddaughter really liked it, and said happily, "Go to the back room and try the size." It's not appropriate for your aunt to change it for a while. ”
Yingfang was about to go when the swallow came with a bamboo basket.
"My grandmother heard that your grandmother and aunt were here, and asked me to bring some vegetables. Grandma and aunt must be tired after taking the train for such a long time, so I will deal with it tonight, and at noon tomorrow, I will go to my grandmother's house for dinner. ”
There were not many dishes brought by the swallow, and they were all large meats—half a white-cut chicken, two smoked rabbit legs, and a small knife of frozen pork belly.
"The white-cut chicken can be eaten by steaming and cutting it hot, the pork belly can be stewed with dried bamboo shoots, how are you going to cook the rabbit meat?" Yanzi helped carry the vegetables into the stove room and asked Yingfang casually.
"Stir-fry the garlic with the chili. My grandmother's house eats spicy food. Yingfang helped her grandmother finish her foot soaking business, poured out the footwashing water and returned to the stove, intending to show her little hands. I followed my teacher's mother, but I learned a lot of dishes.
So, one of them made a fire to stew rice, and the other picked up dinner.
After soaking her feet, the whole person was a lot more relaxed, and she also came to help after settling down with her mother-in-law.
Grandma Lu was afraid that her granddaughter would be too polite and take out all the food she was going to eat for the New Year, and repeatedly advised: "It's okay to cook two dishes less, don't be so extravagant yourself." Grandma brought hot sauce, and you asked your aunt to cook hot and sour cabbage and stir-fry shredded potatoes, which is enough to eat. ”
What a line of work!
"Grandma, you sit, Yanzi also brought tofu and bean curd over, tofu I will make mapo tofu for you in a while, the bean curd is heated and ready-made, let's grind it ourselves, the taste is better than what is sold in the restaurant in the city, I don't believe you can taste it......"
"Really, you can grind tofu at a young age, which is amazing!" Grandma Lu's attention was successfully diverted.
The little aunt sliced the cabbage and smiled and bent her eyebrows. Mother-in-law's stubbornness is cured.
That night, Ying Fang played extraordinarily and prepared six dishes, three meat and three vegetarian dishes, namely white-cut chicken, garlic fried smoked rabbit meat, braised pork with fungus bamboo shoots, mapo tofu, stir-fried Chinese cabbage, and hot and sour shredded potatoes. At the end, there is also a nutritious medicinal mushroom soup, which warmly entertains grandmothers and aunts who come from afar.
The two who were entertained had mixed feelings in their hearts.
I thought that my granddaughter/niece would not want to see them, after all, her parents died that year, and no one in her family rushed to the funeral. They were all wrong—their granddaughter not only accepted them without any qualms, but also cooked a table full of dishes for them. It's not in vain that they borrowed money to give them a wedding.
After dinner, the little aunt rushed to wash the dishes, and Yingfang went to the east house to clean up the bed.
"When you get off the dock, you are looking for someone to inquire about the location of your house, and a few of them don't tell you how to go, but say something that people don't understand, saying that you have a snake in your house, and it has become a snake cave, what is going on?"
Grandma Lu asked about the rumors she heard along the way, and her face was full of sorrow.
