Chapter 7 Eat, Eat
The unit was not busy today, so Mu Nan went home a little early.
Xinxin was overjoyed to see Mu Nan come back early. She had no taste for breakfast, and when she saw that her mother-in-law was preparing to put down the noodles at noon, she was a little sick to her stomach. Seeing Mu Nan was like seeing a savior, and hurriedly made a look to let him go to his room, climbed on his shoulder and whispered: "Husband, I want to eat grilled fish." ”
Mu Nan gently swept Xinxin's hair, and said lovingly, "Okay, I'll buy it for you." ”
Xinxin replied sweetly: "My husband is so good!" He also pursed his mouth and kissed Mu Nan on the face.
Since the child was born, he was hospitalized, and he asked for a confinement sister-in-law, and Xinxin took care of the child at night, and for a few months, the two have been living in two rooms at night. Usually Mu Nan is busy with work, Xinxin is tired of watching the children, and there are two old people, after all, it is not very convenient, not to mention that the young couple are in the same room, and even the affectionate behavior has become very rare. Mu Nan hadn't touched Shin Shin's skin for a long time. This time Xinxin took the initiative to kiss her, where did Mu Nan still hold it, hugged his wife's waist, and his lips came over.
The two were entangled, and suddenly heard the door "creak", and hurriedly separated, and before they could tidy up their clothes, the mother-in-law had already stepped in. Xinxin blushed a little and hurriedly stopped looking at the child. The mother-in-law didn't seem to see anything, so she hurriedly asked Mu Nan what dishes she wanted to eat at noon. Mu Nan was afraid that Xinxin would be embarrassed, so she led her mother out, and said as she walked: "Don't worry, I'll go out first and come back in a while." I'll talk about it when I get back. ”
The mother was a little puzzled: "It's all back, why are you going out again?" ”
Mu Nan said: "Xinxin wants to eat grilled fish, I'll buy some for her." ”
The mother-in-law was not very happy: "How expensive it is sold outside, I'll just make it." ”
Mu Nan was happy: "Mom, do you know how to make fish?" "Mu Nan's hometown is an authentic inland, there are few fish ponds, fewer fish, and people have never had the habit of eating fish. It is only in the last few years that fish has started to eat, and there are very few people who eat it. During the three years of natural disasters, people were dying of starvation, and no one thought of fishing for small fish in the pond to eat. My mother-in-law also arrived here and listened to Xinxin talk about how to make it, so she fried the hairtail fish a few times according to the method of fried chicken.
But after cooking for a lifetime, my mother-in-law was very unhappy when my son asked if he could cook it. She pouted disapprovingly and said, "Isn't it just fried and stewed, what else can there be." ”
Mu Nan smiled even more happily: "My mother, it's just a good mouth." Last time, he ...... "He originally wanted to say: Last time, my mother-in-law heard her son and daughter-in-law say that the fried noodles sold in the small shop outside were delicious, so she volunteered to do it, but as a result, she made a pot of batter noodles, and Xinxin and Mu Nan didn't eat it, so they had to throw it away." The mother-in-law was reluctant, so she was stopped alive and dead, and she and the old man ate two meals before cleaning.
But before Mu Nan finished speaking, he saw that his mother-in-law's face changed, so he quickly stopped his mouth and went out with a smile. Leaving her mother-in-law alone and sulking again.
After a while, the grilled fish was bought. Mu Nan didn't bother to change her shoes, so she took them into the house for Xinxin. Xinxin was so hungry that her tongue was licking her nose. Mu Nan nodded her nose and laughed at her: "What a little gluttonous cat!" Xinxin didn't care about him at all, until she swallowed the last piece of fish meat, she wiped her mouth with satisfaction, patted her stomach, and said, "It's delicious!" ”
Mu Nan said: "Since you love to eat so much, I'll buy it for you in the evening." ”
Xinxin happily said, "Okay." However, let's buy it tomorrow, and eat it out for a while, so my mother should be unhappy. It seems that she dislikes that the food she cooks is not delicious. ”
"You," Mu Nan shook her head helplessly, "You just like to think about it." My mom doesn't have so much to do. ”
"No, no." Xinxin ate happily, was in a good mood, and her temper was easy-going, and she then asked Mu Nan to buy double portions tomorrow.
"No," Mu Nan was very surprised when she heard this, "Your amount of food has become so big, I can't eat one at a time." ”
Xinxin waved her hand: "No, I wanted to eat it so much today, I ate it all without thinking too much, and I didn't let my parents-in-law taste it, tomorrow you sell more, let's eat together." ”
Mu Nan shook his head and said, "No, my parents don't like to eat fish." ”
Xinxin said: "That's why you bought two servings, if they like to eat, they should buy four." Besides, do you want to eat it too? ”
Mu Nan looked at Xinxin's serious appearance and couldn't help but say, "You have a lot of things." Xinxin raised her hand to hit him, but he jumped away and fled out the door. Before leaving, he didn't forget to take out the fish bone garbage that Xinxin had eaten.
Xinxin looked at Mu Nan's back, and a trace of sweetness slowly spread in her heart. Speaking from the heart, Mu Nan is really a good husband. For Shin Shin, although it can't be regarded as 100 followers, it is always in mind. Let's take the matter of eating as an example, it's a shame that Mu Nan always gives Xinxin more meals every now and then to improve the food, otherwise, Xinxin really doesn't know how to live this day.
Shin Shin doesn't want to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas all at once, just a few home-cooked dishes, but the dishes that Shin Shin is used to eating are always re-improved in the hands of her mother-in-law, and even make new inventions. The point is that not only did her mother-in-law fail to improve it, but even the newly invented dishes were very strange, and Xinxin really didn't know how she came up with them. What stir-fried shrimp skin with potatoes, fried onions with green peppers, fried vermicelli with fungus, scrambled eggs with mung bean sprouts...... And the condiments used are also ingenious, often green onions, ginger, garlic, peppercorns, and large ingredients. Or simply what you see and what you put in it, completely ignoring whether it fits the dish or not. The most unacceptable thing for Shin Shin is that she also put the leftovers in the new dish and fry them together. For example, the leftover scrambled eggs with tomatoes and shredded potatoes from last night, when she fried lotus root slices this morning, she would mix them in and fry them together and serve them on the table.
Mu Nan was also very unimpressed with her mother's approach, and argued with her several times about this. In the end, the old lady finally gave in, and leftovers were leftovers, and they were no longer mixed with new dishes. However, the stubborn mother-in-law also has her own coping skills, she simply reduced the two dishes of each meal to one dish, so that when the hot dish is hot, it does not need to be heated twice, one time is enough, and the new dish can also be fried at one time, which saves a lot of trouble.
In fact, my mother-in-law is not intent on mixing vegetables together, but she has been used to only one dish in her hometown for so many years, and she eats what she grows, and the dishes are single, and the two dishes are rarely mixed and matched, so the leftovers and new dishes are basically the same, and there is no problem of mixing and matching. When I was at home, even fried tomatoes were only fried tomatoes without eggs. Generally, at most, it is scramble with green onion and eggs, which is considered high-end. Meat dishes are even less common. So except for chopping meat and making dumplings, she hardly knows how to make meat. There is also fried meatballs, fried chicken are necessary during the New Year, so she also made this quite conveniently. When she arrived at her son's house, she could have several dishes at each meal, and she didn't know how to match them, so she could only think about coming. Although her son and daughter-in-law often tell her how to do it, for her mother-in-law, who has cooked all her life, she still needs someone to guide her to stir-fry a dish, which makes her feel that it is really a "collapsed" thing. When I first came, it was okay, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law kept face, Xinxin opened her mouth and said, the mother-in-law can still be patient to do it, after a long time, there are many contradictions, where is the mother-in-law willing to listen to Xinxin's dispatch in everything. Especially choking pots, there is nothing particular about what to put in the pot in my hometown, there has always been what to put in it, and the onions, ginger and garlic are not all about the same. But the daughter-in-law has a lot of things, fried potatoes with green onions, fried eggplants with garlic, so many differences, how can she remember her sixty-year-old people, and finally put them in, you don't have to say it.
Of course, after all, her mother-in-law has been cooking for decades, and although she is not one in a hundred in the village, she is still very conceited about housework. As mentioned earlier, when Shin Shin was pregnant, her mother-in-law cooked very well. At that time, the mother-in-law was bent on increasing the nutrition for Shin Shin, for fear that Shin Shin would not be able to eat, so what Shin Shin said was completely according to her daughter-in-law's preferences, and everyone was naturally happy. But after the child was born, the situation changed.
It all has to start with the first few days after the confinement lady left.
