Chapter 036: The Great Gathering
The next day was the weekend, and Xu Ying was resting.
The family had breakfast, cleaned up and prepared to go out.
Sun Yue said that she wanted to go to Xu Ying's stall to have a look, and by the way, she also helped her daughter-in-law.
Liu Mingda was going to pull them there.
But as soon as they opened the door, they saw Liu Mingda's second aunt Zhang Ru.
"Eldest sister, Mingda, Yingzi, who are you?"
Zhang Ru called out with a smile, she knew that these three people were not here to greet her, otherwise only one person would open the door for her, not so that all three of them would come, it seemed that they were going out, but so early, where would they go?
"Ru'er is here, why are you here so early today, come in and sit, Wen'er? Why didn't I come with you? ”
Sun Yue let her brother and daughter-in-law into the house, and there were relatives in this house, so they naturally couldn't go out, and Xu Ying had to turn back again.
"Sun Wen is at the eldest brother's house, the eldest brother found someone to buy half a pig, it was the pork from the countryside, and he killed it, saying that it was gaga fragrant, and the eldest brother said that he would pull the pork over for a while, and everyone tasted it together, Sun Wen was afraid that the eldest brother would not be able to move alone, so he went to help, and the sister-in-law said let me come over and prepare first, but I bought two sauerkraut, thinking about cutting it first, and stewing it in sauerkraut soup with big bones for a while."
Zhang Ru explained the situation.
"Why buy two such big ones, you have to cut them for half a day."
Sun Yue looked at the bag of sauerkraut, the sauerkraut was well preserved, but the two were very large, and they were serious.
"The eldest brother said to let the second sister and the third sister come over, there are many people, I'm afraid there won't be enough to eat."
Zhang Ru washed his hands as he spoke, apparently preparing to cut sauerkraut.
Zhang Ru almost married in and lived with the Liu family.
Sun Wen is the youngest child of the Sun family, Liu Zhi is also the best to him, Zhang Ru is virtuous and diligent, so she and the Liu family are quite good.
She has the key to the Liu family, in the Liu family, she still lives by standing, Xu Ying didn't marry in before, and she helped Sun Yue cook or something.
Xu Ying was slightly surprised that his uncle Sun Cheng actually bought half a pig at once. You must know that this is not a few catties of pork, even if the meat here is cheaper than the vegetables, the average person can afford to eat meat, but half a pig also costs a lot of money, almost two or three months of the uncle's salary, what is he going to do.
After the last quarrel, they didn't come for a week in the middle, Xu Ying heard Liu Mingda say, usually they don't talk about weekends, they almost come when they have nothing to do, there is time every day, there is time for a few days, there has never been such a long time, it is estimated that it was the last time that they made trouble, this time they may be a little embarrassed, so the uncle bought half a pig and called relatives to come to eat, which is considered to ease the relationship.
"Why don't you buy half a head, how much does it cost?"
Sun Yue felt a little uncomfortable, and when she arrived at her house, she was embarrassed to let them bring things.
"You care about him, it's long overdue, when they come back, they will open their mouths, thinking how easy your life is, even if you bring something, you and Ru'er, and Yingzi also have to cook for them to eat, so many people, cooking is not easy, then Chen Lan is a good mouth, just instruct Ru'er to come, why don't you see her come over to work by herself, next time he comes to eat and drink for nothing, just kick her out."
Chen Daniu was angry when she mentioned this eldest daughter-in-law.
"Mom, forget it, as long as they are doing well, forget it, don't be angry."
Sun Yue persuaded.
Chen Daniu pursed her lips, she looked at the second daughter-in-law Zhang Ru, who was slightly embarrassed on the side, and said: "Ru'er, Mom didn't mean you, who you are, Mom knows what kind of person you are, Mom wishes you and your eldest sister and them were close, you just come every day, Mom and your eldest sister, brother-in-law have no opinion." ”
She was afraid that her second daughter-in-law would be wrong.
"Mom, I know, sit down, I'll cut sauerkraut."
Zhang Ru knew in her heart that she wouldn't think much about it.
"Go ahead."
Chen Daniu waved her hand.
"I'll cut it, auntie."
Xu Ying also washed her hands, she couldn't go to the train station to go out of the stall today, but with Sister Hu, it was nothing if she didn't go.
It's just that when relatives come, so many people eat, and cooking is also hard work.
However, Xu Ying, who has experience in selling boxed lunches and opening a food shop, is not afraid, there is nothing hard, as long as you are happy.
"Don't need Yingzi, I'll just cut it, you can rest for a while, you will have to be busy in a while."
Zhang Ru took the kitchen knife and did not hand it to Xu Ying.
"Yingzi, let your aunt cut it, your aunt is good at cutting sauerkraut, her sauerkraut is thin, fine and even, but it is amazing, but your knife skills are also good, just me, I work roughly, I don't have your carefulness."
Sun Yue appreciated the work of this younger brother and daughter-in-law.
Xu Ying looked at it.
The second aunt Zhang Ru first cut off the cabbage head, and then took it off piece by piece.
She used a kitchen knife to apply a few knives to each slice, so that the sauerkraut would not appear thick.
After the slices were ready, she stacked the sauerkraut slices evenly and cut them with a knife.
Her movements are very fast, and she looks like she is cooked, and the shredded sauerkraut cut out is thin and well-proportioned, which is really good, and it is a working material.
Xu Ying looked at her second aunt Zhang Ru a few more times.
Zhang Ru's figure is slender and well-proportioned, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he can see that he is also good-looking when he is young, and he is more beating than his aunt.
It's just that the second aunt is not as good as the eldest aunt's life, the uncle's work is thriving, but the second uncle's work is not so satisfactory.
In addition, the eldest aunt's job is stable, but the second aunt's job is average.
Although she and her second uncle said that they were just one daughter, their daughter had just entered college, and it was the time when she needed money, so she and her second uncle lived a tight life, and they were reluctant to buy a piece of clothing.
This second aunt is quick, can also do, and has a very soft temperament, if she needs someone in the future, she can ask the second aunt to help, and she can give her more money, which can be regarded as helping her.
"Okay, then I'll prepare something else first."
Xu Ying thought about herself in her heart, and she didn't force herself to cut sauerkraut, there were so many people in a while, and the plates and bowls had to be prepared.
In addition, it is not possible to prepare only pork, but also vegetables.
When they were almost ready, there was a knock on the door.
After a while, a group of people entered the room.
Uncle Sun Cheng, aunt Chen Lan, second uncle Sun Wen, second aunt Sun Qin, second aunt Zhao Bin, and their two daughters, Zhao Peng, Zhao Jing, and Zhao Peng's husband Lin Dahai.
In addition, there are the third aunt Sun Yu and the third aunt Hu Zhong.
Xu Ying secretly smacked his tongue, there are so many people, plus himself, almost seventeen or eighteen. Just the son of the eldest uncle's family, the daughter of the second uncle's family, and the daughter of the third aunt's family are all going to school in other places and haven't come, so wouldn't it be twenty people to come.
Xu Ying called people one by one, and then went back to the kitchen, someone was sitting on the matter of pouring tea, and she was not needed.
