Chapter 41: The Best Village Woman
Ma Jingui washed the green onions in his hands and said, "If you want me to say, even if my mother doesn't accept their money, I'm afraid that Aunt Lu won't either." Their family is this kind of character, and they refuse to take advantage of us in vain.
I think Uncle Cai and Uncle Tan are not very good at farm work, and I think they haven't done these things before, so it's better for my mother, father and Liangzi to go over and help them when they can't be busy.
On weekdays, they are not like our family, they are native villagers, there must be things that they don't understand and are inconvenient, what we can help, my father and mother take the initiative.
If they send something, my mother is embarrassed to accept it in vain, so she will give them some bacon, pickles, tofu and garlic sprouts, leeks and celery that we planted. β
When Ma Yuan heard his daughter's reasonable words, he was relieved and said: "After you got married, you have grown up, and you still say it one by one, which is more thoughtful than I thought!" β
The two of them talked for a while, and Ma Yuan saw that the ingredients at hand were ready, and began to cook.
Ma Yuan's first made a long-lasting radish and mutton pot, and she washed the mutton according to Lu's mother's teaching, cut it into small pieces, and then boiled it in hot water to remove the blood foam, and then rinsed it in clean water.
Ma Jingui picked a large radish, washed it, peeled it and cut it into small pieces.
Then Ma Yuanshi put the mutton pieces in the pot with hot water, and then put in the ginger slices, peppercorns, star anise, spices and soy sauce and other condiments, wait for the water to boil, and then simmer for half an hour on low heat until the mutton is boiled.
Then add an appropriate amount of salt and cut white radish pieces, and then cook until the radish is cooked.
While the mutton was stewed in the pot, Ma Yuan's began to make sweet and sour pork ribs again.
She first chopped the large ribs, washed them repeatedly with water, and put them on a plate next to her.
Then pour hot water into the pot, and when the water is about to boil, put in the ribs and blanch them, without waiting for the water to boil, and when the surface of the water floats to foam, the ribs are fished out.
Then heat the wok, add oil, add a few pieces of rock sugar, stir-fry the sugar over low heat, and stir with chopsticks until the sugar color changes from white to light yellow, and then turns golden brown.
Ma Yuanshi saw that the sugar was almost fried, so he instructed Ma Jingui to drain the pork ribs, then pour them into a wok, and then stir-fry quickly until the ribs were evenly coated with sugar.
While she was stir-frying the ribs in the pot, she heard Ma Jingui, who was chopping vegetables on the side, ask: "By the way, mother, I heard at home that there was a commotion in Erya's house?"
The people in our village said that it was quite a big trouble, and they also said that in the end, the second girl hit the wall and almost couldn't be saved! I don't know what's going on, but I've only heard a few words about it, and I'm quite worried. β
When Ma Yuan heard Ma Jingui's question, his subordinates paused for a moment, and then continued to wave the spatula and said, "If you don't mention it, I almost forgot to tell you!" What a sin!
Tell me, Erya is such a good girl, she looks smart, has a good figure, does needlework well, is diligent, and speaks gently and gently.
You also know that Xiao Bolt was seriously ill at the beginning, and their family was forced to do nothing, but Siya sold herself to the Rong family, so she finally had the money to treat Xiao Bolt.
Speaking of which, at that time, I looked down on Siya and her father!
Tell me, although it is not easy for us farmers, no matter how difficult it is, there is no reason to sell our sons and daughters!
The big girl and her family are indeed really difficult, her father has a sudden illness and is gone, leaving this family behind, and she still owes a lot of debts; It's really not easy for her mother to pull her and a few younger siblings, just like that, when the eldest girl wanted to sell herself to the Rong family, her mother was still crying and unwilling!
But what about the four Ya's family! Although Xiao Bolt is a bad body and bones, and she has to see a doctor and take medicine for many years as an adult, but Siya's father and mother are all young and full of strength, where can they not work hard to earn money for Xiao Bolt to see a doctor?
There are also those in our village who can't live at home, and the two of them go out to work, and they work as helpers in those big families, sign a work contract, and they also have freedom, they can do what they want, and they can leave immediately if they don't want to do it. A family of two can save more than 20 taels of silver a year, can't Siya's father and mother go?
If you want me to say, if they had gone out to earn money earlier, Siya would not have been so difficult to see at home, Xiao Shui was sick in bed and couldn't get up, but he didn't have the money to take medicine to see a doctor, so he was ruthless and sold himself to the Rong family! Such a young girl, she ran to the Rong family and sold herself, and I don't know how scared Siya was at that time!
If you think about it, when Siya's father and mother knew that she sold herself to the Rong family, she only saw the silver given by Mrs. Liu in her eyes, and she never thought that this girl would become a slave in other people's families from now on!
I've heard Lizheng say that according to our Da Chen's law, a slave like Siya, who has signed a death contract, has no freedom at all!
It's that the Rong family doesn't like her, beats and scolds her all day long, and even beats her to death, and their family has nowhere to reason! β
ps: When I went to the exam this morning, I felt hit by Sensen, and I felt very wrong as soon as I entered the exam room!
In the words of one of the candidates' parents: "You children are still too young to know how dark this is!" Don't let you take the test, you don't believe it, it feels like it's discouragement! In fact, this is all predetermined! β
Boom, the exam room is so chaotic, it feels so casual, there is no order at all, Grandma wants to go to the corner to be alone and quiet......
The recent collection has always been falling off in the "swish", I really don't know why, the little angels feel that they are so willful! Just abandoned Ah Yu Bang Bang ......
In order to appease Grandma's injured heart, so I asked my girlfriend to go out tomorrow tomorrow, and Grandma will try to get out of tomorrow's update tonight, but it is estimated that it may not be too late to write a chapter, so tomorrow's update may be later, and the little angels will come back to refresh and see the update in the evening~ (β§β½β¦)
Finally, it is a routine rolling and selling cute to ask for recommendation tickets, collections, messages, and all kinds of begging...... Let's look at Auntie's shining eyesβΟβ, ask for recommendation votes and collections to feed ING~ If you like it after reading it, remember to put the text in your bookshelf~O(β©_β©)O~~
