Zhao Qingru stretched out her hand and patted her sister-in-law's hand, and continued: "By the way, does your brother know? There is also a mother-in-law's ......."

"I came here today to tell Sister Qingru and my eldest brother the news. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Big Brother already knows, as for the mother's ......"

Zhao Qingru instantly understood. It seems that my mother-in-law still doesn't know about it.

Zhou Wenyan is only one and a half years younger than Zhao Qingru, and she is almost thirty years old. Zhao Qingru's mother-in-law, Zhou's mother, has been worrying about finding a hairy son-in-law who is called (ten) heart (whole) like (ten) meaning (beauty) since she graduated from college.

Zhou Wenyan is middle-class, graduated from the Department of Foreign Languages of Yenching University, originally worked in a public institution, and then left her job without pay and went to the sea. The conditions are not too bad, and they are even quite good.

It's just that when Zhou's mother is picking a son-in-law, the other party is also picking a daughter-in-law. At this time, the standard for choosing a daughter-in-law is not like a Wu Zetian type (career has been formed), virtuous and virtuous, and it is best to be filial to her in-laws at home to take care of her uncle and children. Zhou Wenyan is not good at cooking, and wants her to cook, but it is luck that she didn't burn the kitchen.

In this way, Zhou's mother wants to find a pleasing son-in-law for her daughter in Sijiu City, which is not easy to say. Finally, there were a few pleasing to the eye, but Zhou Wenyan didn't call at all. As Zhou Wenyan got older year by year, Zhou's mother naturally became more and more dissatisfied with Zhao Qingru, the daughter-in-law who snatched her intended son-in-law.

Later, Zhou Wenyan finally had a lover she liked. It's a pity that it's a foreign devil...... This stimulation of Zhou's mother is basically equivalent to a thunderbolt on a sunny day. Now Zhou Wenyan finally agreed to the foreign devil's proposal.

Zhao Qingru, who is a sister-in-law, thinks that maybe she should return to Yanjing a few days later, otherwise...... Go back to Xiangjiang to live for a year and a half?

The sister-in-law fights with her mother-in-law, how can she break it next to her sister-in-law......?

Zhao Qingru has a feeling that she has no love, and it is difficult not to sigh in her heart, why haven't those forum circles appeared at this time.

At night, after finally coaxing the three babies in the family to sleep, Zhao Qingru directly pushed his nerd to the bed, and then came to press the bed first.

"Your sister agreed to that stupid big man's marriage proposal, you heard. ”

"Well, when Wen Yan took Xiao Yuanyuan home in the evening, she told me in the kitchen. Zhou Wentao wrapped his arms around his daughter-in-law's slender waist, and naturally went up and down.

"Then?" Zhao Qingru stopped the restless paws, "Don't move!"

"And then? What else? My sister is finally willing to get married, and I look at that Pete, it's called Pete, it's good...... What?" Zhou Wentao saw the obviously wrong look of his daughter-in-law lying on top of him, so he asked, "What's wrong with that kid?"

"No, according to Wen Yan's conditions, he can turn Pete, and he is so desperate, Wen Yan's vision is really good. ”

"That's not over, I don't know what you're worried about. Zhou Wentao turned over, pressed his daughter-in-law under him, and was about to enjoy a "delicious meal", but was stopped by Zhao Qingru.

"You idiot, did you ...... your mother" Zhao Qingru stretched out her index finger and pressed it on Zhou Wentao's nose, "My mother-in-law forgot." ”

"Ah......" Zhou Wentao obviously forgot about this matter, "Then what do you say?"

"I'm asking you about this, why did you ask me again?" Zhao Qingru was a little speechless.

Zhou Wentao suddenly lost the mood to eat meat.

"Think about it, while there's still some time. Zhao Qingru covered the quilt in a good mood, then closed her eyes and chose to sleep directly. Anyway, on her mother-in-law's side, she has always left the problem to Zhou Wentao, her son, to be responsible for it.

Zhou Wentao looked at his daughter-in-law who had fallen asleep in his arms, and suddenly had the illusion that he had nothing to love.

The next day, Zhou Wentao appeared in the small living room with two big dark circles under his eyes and a yawn. Zhou Wenyan was helping to scoop white porridge, and was startled when she saw her eldest brother like this, and then with a mocking expression, she teased: "Yo, big brother, you went to be a thief last night?"

Big brother, although it is said that "a little don't win a newlywed", but you are like this...... It's not even forty. It seems that it will not work if you don't make it up......

! I'm not like this because of you stinky girl!

Ay?

Zhou Wenyan was obviously stunned, and looked at Zhao Qingru who was helping Xiao Yi wipe his mouth in confusion, and blinked.

Regarding the silent communication between the two brothers and sisters of Zhou Wentao who squeezed (eyebrows) eyebrows (eyes) and made (transmitted) eyes (love) there, Zhao Qingru only didn't read the specific information, squinted and smiled: "It's not early, I'll send my three children to school first." ”

Zhou Wentao saw that his daughter-in-law was leaving, so he hurriedly got up and grabbed Zhao Qingru: "Ru'er, that ......"

"If you don't leave, I'll be late. Zhao Qingru glanced at Zhou Wentao, it was obvious that Zhao Qingru still didn't plan to interfere, and let Zhou Wentao deal with the problem that he had been entangled for most of the night yesterday.

Zhou Wentao has always had no choice but to wave a small handkerchief with tears (fog) and watch his daughter-in-law send the three little guys to school.

On the contrary, Zhou Wenyan on the side had vaguely guessed something from the loving interaction between his eldest brother and sister-in-law, and when only the two brothers and sisters were left in the small living room, he took the initiative to pull Zhou Wentao to the seat.

"Brother, don't tell me, are you worried that your mother won't agree with me and Pete, so you haven't slept all night?"

Looking at Zhou Wentao like that, Zhou Wenyan knew that she had guessed correctly, and it would be absolutely a lie to say that she was not moved. Zhou Wenyan leaned on Zhou Wentao's shoulder, grabbed his eldest brother's right hand, and said coquettishly: "Brother~~ You are so good." ”

Even if he has been with his daughter-in-law for many years, occasionally Zhao Qingru will be coquettish to Zhou Wentao like this, Zhou Wentao is still not very used to it, and twisted his sister's body with a somewhat awkward face, and said, "Sit up straight." Such a big person, still, so coquettish. What does it look like?!"

"It's not fun. No wonder Sister Qingru always says you're a nerd. Zhou Wenyan unceremoniously whitened her eldest brother.

Zhou Wentao didn't bother to refute his sister-in-law, and twisted the topic that was a little pulled away again: "I'll go back to the institute in a while, Yan'er, tell me what to do." ”

"What else can I do? Cold salad. Zhou Wenyan naturally knew that her eldest brother was really busy all year round, so she restrained her jokes, "Brother, did you make a mistake." ”

"What?"

"Since Pete wants to marry me, taking care of his mother-in-law is what he should do. ”

"......" Zhou Wentao was a little confused.

On the other end, Zhao Qingru, who was sitting in the car and sent the three little ones to school, lowered his head coldly and laughed.

"Mom, what are you laughing at?" Xiao Yi blinked suspiciously, and looked at Zhao Qingru in confusion.

"Nothing. In fact, from the very beginning, I heard from Zhou Wenyan that my sister-in-law had agreed to Pitt's marriage proposal, and I knew that the hairy foreign son-in-law would definitely be able to deal with his picky mother-in-law Zhao Qingru, not intentionally, but inadvertently brought Zhou Wentao into the ditch.

A few days after Zhao Qingru returned to Yanjing, it was the eighth day of the lunar month. On the day of Laba, in previous years, when Grandma Qian was there, she would prepare all kinds of dried fruits early and get up early in the morning to cook Laba porridge. It is a large firewood stove that is boiled over high heat and then boiled over low heat. During the boiling process, in order to prevent the bottom of the pot from sticking, they will also stay in front of the stove and slowly stir it with the large iron spoon in their hands from time to time.

Although there was a rice cooker later, Zhao Qingru felt that the laba porridge boiled in an earthen stove had a unique flavor. Not to mention that a few little radish heads in the family like it, even the old man and the old lady of the Zhao family are also obsessed. So in the courtyard, at the end of Grandma Qian's yard, there is still a big earthen stove in the kitchen, but it has not been changed to biogas, which is more convenient to clean.

Of course, the entire kitchen has been renovated to prevent fire.

"Sister of the Zhao family, are we still boiling porridge for this year's Laba Festival?!" Two days before the Laba Festival, the aunt of the Wang family, who was in charge of housework at home, took advantage of the gap between last night's dinner and turned her head sideways to ask Zhao Qingru.

The school is approaching the end of the term, and Zhao Qingru, who has cancelled the leave, is also busy. If it weren't for the reminder of the Wang family's aunt, it is estimated that she would have forgotten about making laba porridge. After all, in previous years, Grandma Qian was there to show up, and Zhao Qingru, who has always been very busy, was at most on the sidelines, and finally helped to deliver Laba porridge door-to-door, and then drank a big bowl beautifully.

Hearing the aunt of the Wang family ask herself like this, Zhao Qingru was obviously stunned, and after coming back to her senses, she smiled and said: "Boil, this tradition, even if it is not a statutory holiday, has to be celebrated at home, and it has to be lively." It's not just Laba porridge to drink on Laba Festival, but also big traditional festivals like Qingming, Dragon Boat Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival to remember. ”

"Wouldn't it be too troublesome?" The aunt of the Wang family has been helping with housework in the courtyard for more than a year or two, and naturally knows how busy her employer and her family are on weekdays.

"It's a bit of a hassle. But these are all things that have been passed down from our ancestors, and there is a deep cultural heritage in them. If we don't pay attention to it, after ten or twenty years, our children may gradually forget. When they grow up, get married, and have children, few of them will remember the next generation. It is very sad for a nation that has no historical heritage. ”

The aunt of the Wang family didn't understand what Zhao Qingru said. However, she still knows one thing, since Zhao Qingru plans to boil a big pot of Laba porridge in the Laba Festival, she has to prepare more ingredients. Everything that should be soaked in advance must be soaked, and everything that should be selected must be selected......

On the first Laba Festival after Grandma Qian left, Zhao Qingru, with the help of the Wang family's aunt, boiled the first pot of Laba porridge overnight the night before. It is also thanks to the fact that I have seen Grandma Qian boiling laba porridge a few years ago, and I worked hard for most of the night, and when it was dawn, the finished product was nine points similar to Grandma Qian's.

Don't look at the raw materials, Zhao Qingru has not boiled Laba porridge before this, and even when he was an educated youth in Shenjiawa Village, he also boiled Laba porridge, and then carried a small bamboo basket according to the custom to send this Laba porridge to the people who have dealings with Shenjiawa Village on weekdays.

Zhao Qingru naturally remembered that she was robbed by the notoriously lazy aunt in the village who liked to take advantage of her halfway. Of course, Zhao Qingru was not polite, and added some ingredients to the laba porridge without a trace, so that the other party could clear his stomach well. If you think about it, it seems that I haven't seen that family for more than ten years.

Before, Zhao Qingru had followed his eldest brother Zhao Qingshan back once, and heard that the family was afraid of being asked by the bitter master to ask for an explanation because of a crime, so he fled overnight. As for where he fled, no one in the village knew about it, so naturally he couldn't meet it.

"Fragrant, mom is so fragrant. Just as Zhao Qingru was distracted, Xiao Yuanyuan, who had already washed up, appeared in the kitchen with his younger brothers and sisters.

"Mom, do you want to drink red bean porridge today?" Xiao Yi lay on the earthen stove, looking at the bubbling laba porridge in the pot, his big black and white eyes were shining.

"Little gluttonous cat. Zhao Qingru smiled and nodded Xiao Yi's little nose, "I have to wait a little longer before I can drink it." Don't help your Aunt Wang serve side dishes. ”

"Mom, I'm coming. Xiao An took the initiative to ask.

Boil a big pot of laba porridge, if it is just a person in the courtyard, even if you count a few leftovers, it is estimated that you will have to drink it for three or four days to drink it. In fact, there are only not enough points every year, and there are no extra ones that take several days to eliminate. As soon as a few frequent families sent it, there was basically only a pot bottom left.

Of course, it's not that there is no rebate, and the problem is that Grandma Qian's Laba porridge tastes obviously better. came and went, and it was not a polite master, it was basically relatives and friends who were labeled as bad friends, and they were lazy about what they needed to boil.

Therefore, when Zhao Qingru came to the door with a thermos pot according to the process of previous years, all of them showed more or less surprise on their faces.

"I thought I wouldn't be able to eat it in the future. Tang Yue Song's daughter-in-law Li Yu who said this.

"Taste it, isn't it the taste that you will never forget?" Zhao Qingru smiled.

"Look at the appearance, there are ninety percent similar, but I don't know if the taste is also ninety percent?" Miss Jiang scooped a small bowl for herself, tasted it lightly, and after savoring it, "Eighty percent, it's not bad." Qingru is actually ...... It's still delicious. ”

"I know. It's not enough to have Grandma Qian's decades of skills. I'm very happy to have 80% of the similarities. At least it can be passed down from generation to generation, and it is also the ancestor of the Qian family. ”

"Qingru, it's good that you can think so. ”

Coming out of Miss Jiang's place, Zhao Qingru somehow suddenly lost the interest of taking the car home, thinking about walking a few steps first, just take a walk and relax her mood.

Since the reform and opening up, the whole country has changed quite rapidly, especially the capital Yanjing. There are obviously a lot more cars than there were ten years ago. Of course, the viaduct subway was also built little by little.
