Chapter 016: Eating

When Qiao Zhen heard this, his heart was a little sour, and it was not easy to be an elder. In fact, what my mother said is also that the food at home is already nervous, and it must be more difficult for multiple people to open their mouths, and their parents have family affection with themselves, but the sister-in-law does not, and it is normal for her to be picky in her heart.

"Mother, I won't eat this egg, I don't eat anything less, as long as the family is happy." Qiao Zhen really doesn't want to make a big noise at home, and she doesn't want her mother to be embarrassed in the middle.

"Mother's stupid girl." Qiao Zhenniang touched Qiao Zhen's hair, rubbed her nose, held back her tears, and continued: "Your sister-in-law has not been at home for the past two days, and she has been clean for two days. ”

Qiao Zhenniang's heart was also sour, but she couldn't say this in front of her daughter. Qiaozhen nodded and didn't speak again.

Things really didn't happen to Zhenniang's expectations, Yuhua really didn't stay in her mother's house for three days, and the next day she led Chengzi back, she said that Chengzi missed her grandmother, and she didn't come back, but Chengzi said that he and his mother were driven back by his uncle.

Everyone didn't deal with her, what should I do, Yuhua was still the same as before, but she didn't go to see Qiaozhen, nor did she go to find trouble, she just muttered a few words, and no one paid attention to her.

Qiaozhen has been lying in bed for a few days, and now she doesn't need to be watched, and when there is no one in the house, she also gets out of bed and walks, and looks out of the window.

The courtyard of the Wang family is quite large, there are several trees in the yard, Qiaozhen recognizes them, there are locust trees, elm trees and paulownia trees, and there are small benches under some trees, obviously you can sit under the trees and enjoy the shade when you have nothing to do.

The place against the wall is open two squares, and there are green vegetables planted in it, but before you get close, Qiaozhen can't see what kind of vegetables it is.

In addition, there are some farm tools, such as rack carts, hoes, wooden shovels, forks, rakes, etc., and there is a tank in the yard, I don't know if it is a water tank.

In addition, there is a small house, which seems to be a stove house, which is used for cooking.

Very simple and pure farm yard, Qiaozhen looked at it a few times, and did not see the flowers, but there was nothing to do in the house, and it was also haode to see the yard.

Qiaozhen watched it for a long time, felt tired, just walked to the bed and sat down, ready to lie down, when she heard the voice of the second sister-in-law coming back, she went back to her parents' house today, and she will come back.

Qiao Zhen walked back and looked out.

The second sister-in-law actually came back with a rack car, and there were things on the rack car, and I don't know what they were.

"Yo, this is a lot of things to get back, your mother is really willing, what is this." Sister-in-law Yuhua looked at the things in the car and shouted.

Meihua glanced at her sister-in-law Yuhua, didn't say anything, smiled, and she began to take things down.

"Mother, this is bean dregs, just make haode, my mother said let me take it back to eat at home." As she spoke, she handed the basket to her mother-in-law.

"That's a lot, enough for our family to eat several meals, I was saying that I'm going to get some after eating the bean dregs in the past few days, your mother really knows my mind." Qiao Zhenniang took it with a smile.

"It's bean dregs again, I haven't eaten enough every day, this mouth is full of flavor, and I'm disgusted when I eat it." Yuhua said dissatisfiedly.

"What? Do you have a body? Qiao Zhenniang deliberately damaged her.

"What did my mother say? I haven't raised this body yet, how can I have it? Yuhua's heart was angry and painful.

"What's disgusting without a body? We don't eat it every day, why is no one disgusting, in previous years, you couldn't eat it if you wanted to, this day was only two days to put it up, this doesn't eat that you don't eat, you want to eat dragon meat and you have to be able to fly. Qiao Zhenniang said about her daughter-in-law.

Qiaozhen heard and saw clearly through the window, it was tofu dregs, which was basically fed to pigs in modern terms, and this was eaten at home? Can this be used as food and vegetables? No wonder my mother didn't give me the food that the family fed, it turned out to be like this, and Qiaozhen's eyes were astringent for a while.

"Mother, this is half a bag of dried sweet potatoes, which was dried by my mother last year, and my mother thought that Qiaozhen's sister was back, and I was afraid that the food at home would not be enough to eat, so I also brought it back." Meihua handed her mother-in-law another bag.

The bag is a small bag, which is half a bag, but it is about five catties if it is weighed. Just this Qiao Zhenniang was grateful in her heart, she said: "Plum blossom, how can I thank your mother for it, your family's life is not easy, you see that your mother also let you take this food back, I ......"

"Mother, it's not an outsider, my mother is polite, my mother said, there are few people over there, we can't eat much, we have a lot of family, more things will be less hungry, mother, you're welcome, by the way, there is a little bit of millet, my mother asked me to bring it back to Qiaozhen, and said to let Qiaozhen cook soup to drink." After Meihua finished speaking, he took down a small bag, which contained about a pound of millet.

"I'll see." After listening to her brother and daughter-in-law, Yuhua hurriedly took the bag, opened it and saw that it was indeed millet inside, she grabbed a handful, and the small grains flowed down her fingers.

Qiao Zhenniang looked at the yellow, orange and orange grains, her eyes were red, she also wanted to make millet and cook soup for her daughter, but there was no one at home, and she didn't get it, and now her daughter-in-law got it from her mother's house, and she remembered this love.

"Plum blossoms, this thing shouldn't have been accepted, but your sister is ...... now. Mother for Qiaozhen xiexie you, xiexie your mother, mother accepted, wait for your sister to come out in the future, so that she can't forget this kindness. Qiao Zhenniang said emotionally to her daughter-in-law.

"Look at what my mother said, we are not outsiders, what is not kind, Qiaozhen is also my sister. It's all supposed to be done. Plum smiled.

Qiaozhen also saw the millet, it is a de-haode grain, also called millet, this thing is boiled into porridge is very nourishing, especially suitable for women who are confinement, and drinking this is also a symptom for their own miscarriage, but this thing is very expensive, right? The second sister-in-law is really good to herself, and her mother is really willing. I can get her to come back with these things.

"Mother, when it's dark, use millet to cook soup, don't need to be too thick, put two handfuls in the middle, I have to make up for this body, or how to give birth to a child for the Wang family." Yuhua looked at Gu Zi's greedy panic.

"How light do you say when your upper lip touches your lower lip, and it doesn't need to be thick, two handfuls are in the middle, how many handfuls are there in total? What did you drink, what did your sister drink? I tell you, if you dare to eat this millet for me secretly, I will replace everything at home with millet for Qiaozhen to eat, do you hear? ”

Qiao Zhenniang shouted to her daughter-in-law, if she wasn't stronger, otherwise her daughter-in-law would really be able to eat secretly.

"If I hear it, how dare I not hear it, and I'm not deaf, and I can't hit it if I don't eat? My mother can use this fierceness, my mother wants to eat me. Yuhua said weakly, suddenly her eyes flashed, and she pointed to the dried sweet potatoes and said: "Mother is not allowed to eat millet, this dried sweet potato is finished, and the dried sweet potato tea is also in the dark today." ”

Qiao Zhenniang looked at her daughter-in-law's greedy appearance, although her face was dark, she felt a little bad in her heart, and she was sad and troublesome.

"Okay, just put two pieces in the pot when it's dark, this half bag is enough for us to eat for half a month." After Qiao Zhenniang finished speaking, she carried the bag into the stove house.

Qiaozhen saw that there was no one in the yard, and secretly sighed and returned to bed, she also knew about dried sweet potatoes, when she was a child, every time the sweet potatoes were harvested at home, the mother who couldn't finish them always rubbed them into thick slices, and then took them into the roof or spread a mat on the road with her father, put the sweet potato chips on to dry, dried them and then put them away, and waited for the winter time to take them out to make porridge to eat.

In this way, it is easy to store, and the porridge made is sweet and delicious, and the dried sweet potatoes are also noodles, which tastes good.

Later, science and technology developed, there are fewer and fewer sweet potato cellars in rural areas, sweet potatoes are not easy to put and are easy to spoil, and drying is a good storage method, but such methods are becoming less and less, because there are more and more people going out to work in rural areas, there are fewer people who farm the land, and the days are good, nothing is rare, and many families are too lazy to do such dried sweet potatoes.

Qiao Zhen was stunned when she thought of this, she felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't remember, what was wrong?

Right! Sweet potato, if she remembers correctly, sweet potato should have been passed down from Fanbang at the end of the Qing Dynasty, but she saw that her family's dress did not look like that of the Qing Dynasty, what was going on? What dynasty is this? Is it overhead? Qiao Zhen fell into deep thought for a while.
