Li took the children to work in the pot house.

In the upper room, Mr. Li said to Mr. Chen: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, since you have decided to split the family today, you will take advantage of them to divide the family today." ”

Old Man Chen nodded, went to Murazheng's house and invited Murazheng, Master Qin, Han's shopkeeper, and Xianglian's father to his home again.

Xianglian's grandmother asked Xianglian's father to bring a few pieces of tofu to the Chen family, Murazheng brought a piece of beef, and Master Qin asked Jia Dashan to send a jar of good pear blossoms.

The pot house was busy, and Chen Xuejiao said what dishes were there one by one.

The villagers have to have fruit plates for guests, and the head is four plates of fruit plates, mung bean cake, plum blossom cake, osmanthus cake, and fried dough fruit. This is followed by four kinds of cold vegetables, a spinach, the spinach in autumn is tender, sprinkled with chives and shredded peppers is the most appetizing; a dish of shallots mixed with tofu and dotted with sesame oil; A salted duck egg, which was not eaten last time by Xue Jiao; A tea egg, cold, cut and placed on a plate.

This was followed by a hot dish, and a total of eight hot dishes were prepared. The villagers are energetic and like to eat stews, which can fill their stomachs. There are stewed pork belly with beans, roasted potatoes with beef, tofu crucian carp soup, scrambled eggs with leeks, stir-fried pumpkin shreds, stir-fried meat with pulled skin, fried peanuts, and stewed chicken with radish.

These hot dishes are all made by Chen Xuejiao, and they are also home-cooked dishes that she often ate in her previous life. Uncle Li Yuntian often goes out to sell dry goods, and some time ago he went to Weishan Lake and bought a lot of dried shrimp, and took advantage of this time to bring them here. Chen Xuejiao always feels that the dishes she usually cooks are less umami and fresher, and it is easy to do with dried shrimp, and a pinch is put in each hot dish. The umami flavor of the dried shrimp was stimulated by the hot dishes, and the smell was irresistible all over the yard, which attracted Zhang to enter the pot house several times.

In the end, Chen Xuejiao made a big bowl of soup with dried shrimp, winter melon, chives, and coriander, which was very appetizing. Jing Hao helped to light the fire, Chen Xue chose vegetables, and Li was responsible for cutting vegetables, killing fish, and removing chickens. Chen Xuejiao is holding a spatula to stir-fry.

Old Man Chen, Old Man Li, Mura Zheng, representatives of each house, Master Qin and others sat in the main room of the upper room and talked, and they didn't know what they said, Cun Zheng came out and personally invited Chen Qi'an into the house.

said that Chen Xiucai was sick, and a woman in the Li family was not good at participating in the division of the family, so she asked Qi An to represent Dafang.

Chen Xuejiao listened, and her heart was put back in her stomach. Chen Qi'an is not as good as Chen Xiucai to the Li family, with the support of the Li family, he will definitely be able to get back the part for the family.

The meals for the guests in the township should be fine, especially the meals for finding people to talk about things to the banquet are almost sumptuous, and Li calculated the number of people and felt that these dishes were enough. The staple food is baked white flour cakes, and when Li made noodles, Chen Xuejiao dripped two spoonfuls of sesame oil, beat an egg, and sprinkled a handful of chives.

"Mother, it's delicious." Chen Xuejiao said confidently.

The first long dough cake came out of the pot and Li broke it and distributed it to a few children. I also tasted it, it was fragrant, and it was really better than the white flour cake.

"My mother didn't see how you cooked, how did you figure it out." Li asked.

"From the book, I pondered." Chen Xuejiao smiled.

In Zhao's room, Mrs. Chen smelled the fragrance wafting from the pot house through the window, and felt uncomfortable for a while, how much oil does this have to use. I was anxious. How could Mrs. Li keep pulling her and talking, she couldn't get out. He glanced at Xue Miao in front of him.

Xue Miao ran out, Zhao couldn't hold it, and this stupid girl was used as a gun by Mrs. Chen.

Chen Xuejiao was flipping the pancakes, when she saw Xue Miao running away from the door of the pot house.

"Milk, the Dafang family used a lot of oil for cooking, and last time my uncle used half a jar of lard." Chen Xuemiao stuck to Mrs. Chen's side. Gesturing with his hand, he said indignantly, "There is also white noodles, and I also used most of the bag." ”

Zhao's words were stopped, and Mrs. Chen was in a cold sweat. This dead girl, I mean to let you go and mention some big houses and use less oil, you actually said it in front of the Li family.

Mrs. Chen couldn't hold her face.

Qiao's and Wen's eyes were on each other, what kind of life did the sister-in-law live in the Chen family, and she was used as a thief by her mother-in-law when she cooked.

"Knowing that my in-laws have little oil and water, we brought a fan of fatty pork today, which is enough to eat for half a year." Wen's tone was cold.

"I said you kid, you look handsome, why don't you talk much, you don't even recognize your uncle and aunt in a big room. I used to hear my sister-in-law boast that the second brother and sister in the family are a talker, and it stands to reason that she has been trained by her mother, so why can't this child talk on the stage. Qiao looked at Zhao with a smile.

Zhao's face flushed.

Mrs. Li took Mrs. Chen's hand, and at first she was talking about homely things, and wiped her tears as she spoke.

“…… The oil surface is worth a few dollars, it is important to have a child's body, the boss is lying there, his face is yellow and crooked, can you be a mother? Isn't my son-in-law the baby of the Chen family, and my daughter-in-law marrying the Chen family is not the daughter-in-law of the Chen family? I don't even let you eat oily noodles, take pity on my girl. ”

Mrs. Chen wanted to break away from Mrs. Li's hand, but how could she bear Mrs. Li's clenching tighter and tighter.

"Mother-in-law, over the years, my daughter has not been sorry for you. She got married, how many things did I give to the dowry, we don't compare with the rich and noble people in the city, only with the surrounding ten miles and eight towns, the Li family is called the second, and no one dares to call it the first. What's the matter now, the fabrics and golden hairpins are gone. My daughter has shed a lot of blood and sweat for the Chen family over the years, and she has finished pasting her own body, and she is not a good one, what is she drawing, isn't it that you can treat her as a person and a child as a grandson. ”

Mrs. Chen couldn't sit still.

The more Mrs. Li spoke, the more excited she became.

“…… The two daughters in front of me didn't feed, the first one was not in the stomach, I heard that Wen Yan tripped my daughter at that time, and the child fell off at night; The second is that she was born to lose her breath, and my daughter's body and bones have fallen into trouble, and she is still Langzhong invited by the Li family. Li cried about his lost granddaughter again, "My poor granddaughter, I just hope that you can be reincarnated into a good family." ”

As soon as she mentioned the first child in the Li family, Mrs. Chen's eyelids jumped, it was Wen Yan's fault back then, and this matter has been kept secret. Zhao's heart chilled, back then......

"Back then, my daughter-in-law gave birth to Qi An, and your second daughter-in-law gave birth to Qi Lin, a difference of twenty days. The second daughter-in-law didn't have enough milk, so it was my daughter-in-law who fed Qi'an. Old in-laws, my daughter-in-law is worthy of the Chen family. The second child wants to let Xue Jiao change relatives and marry Qi Lin a good relative, you just watch them push Xue Jiao into the fire pit, and you will persuade you to treat the boss as your own child. ”

Zhao's face was scornful. Mrs. Chen couldn't tell the difference, because these were facts.

"She also ruined my brother's future, and it is a blessing for her to let her go to Sun's house......" Chen Xuemiao scoffed.

"What's the matter, you still blame my niece, the Sun family is good, why didn't your mother replace you in it." Qiao Shi was about to roll up his sleeves.

Xue Miao was so frightened that she didn't dare to squeak.

Zhao pulled Xue Miao and endured it for a long time before he spoke: "I didn't know the situation of the Sun family at that time, I just thought it was a rich family, and I only went to enjoy happiness, and my mother thought the same way." ”

"Oops. I let my daughter not be happy, but gave that opportunity to others, I didn't know that there was such a mother in this world. Qiao Shi was mean to Zhao Shi.

Zhao's face was red when he was stabbed.

"Second daughter-in-law, you didn't have enough milk for Qi Lin back then, do you remember, Qi Lin was my daughter's milk. At that time, the two of you were confined together, and all the delicious food at home was given to you, and even the old hen I gave to my daughter to mend her body entered your stomach. Why are you so ruthless? Do you think your sister-in-law is a bully, you and your mother-in-law are ruined to death together. Your sweet mouth can talk in front of your mother-in-law, if you have a conscience, you can not be busy with your sister-in-law to talk a few words. Mrs. Li said unceremoniously to the Zhao family.

Mrs. Chen looked at the meaning of the Li family, it was the autumn queen who came to settle the account. She was at a loss, and there was no reason to talk about it, so she was angry.

"My mistake is that I am not my mother. I'm a late mother, so what do I do wrong, if I am a mother-in-law, my daughter-in-law's mother can come and mess with me......"

Mrs. Chen opened Mrs. Li's hand, and saw that her arm was purple. I cried.

Old Lady Chen's cry came into the upper room, and Old Man Chen frowned.

Chen Zifu opened the curtain and said to Mrs. Chen: "Mother, it's time to eat, we will split up after dinner, and my father invites you to come out and see where the meal is." ”

When Mrs. Chen heard this, she wiped away her tears, put on her shoes and walked out, followed by Zhao and Chen Xuemiao.

Mrs. Li saw that the heat was almost over, and she said what she should say, so she also took her daughter-in-law and others to the pot house to help the Li family.

In the main room, Mrs. Chen took Zhao's, Xue Miao, and Da Dan to set up the table, a total of two tables, Old Man Chen, Old Man Li, Master Qin, and Mura Zheng and others had one table, and Mrs. Li took the big house and the old lady Chen to make another table. Because it was in the name of entertaining the Li family's mother's family, the second, third, and fourth rooms were not served.

The meal was ready, and Qiao and Wen helped bring it in one by one. Muramasa looked at Mrs. Chen, this is too unusual, the in-laws came to the family, not to mention the good hospitality, but also let the family work.

Old Man Chen's face was not good-looking.

Everyone sat down one by one and began to eat.

These two tables are full of color and flavor. Master Qin is an uninhibited person, so he took a bite and tasted it, with a satisfied look on his face. Old Man Chen felt that his face was bright, and the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were smiling.

"There are no good things at home, in-laws, you eat more vegetables." Old Man Chen let it.

"This dish is better than what we make in Qingfengzhuang." Shopkeeper Han took a bite of crucian carp tofu and exclaimed.

He didn't know that dried shrimp could enhance umami.

"This table is ready for a first-class banquet." Mura Zheng sighed, "Old man Chen, your eldest daughter-in-law is a good hand outside the family, who doesn't boast, just look at this dish, we really can't find a second one in the village." ”

Muramasa has the heart to raise the Li family in front of the Li family.

Sure enough, both Old Man Li and Old Lady Li laughed.

"My daughter, not my boast, was a good hand at home back then, filial piety to her parents, and respect for her sister-in-law. married into the Chen family, with the advice of his own mother, and now he has also experienced it, and he is more generous than his family. Old Man Li toasted Muramasa with a glass of wine.

As soon as these words came out, everyone turned their heads to look at Mrs. Chen. Bicun Zheng took this seriously, and stretched out his thumb to Mrs. Chen: "Auntie, when will you go to my house and tell my mother-in-law about the mother-in-law's scriptures." ”

Mrs. Chen was uncomfortable, she had no appetite for eating, and scolded in her heart, you are a Li family, you married the Chen family in the name of Kefu back then, and now they praise you for being a treasure.

"I have to take care of the children's father, and this dish is made by the children." Li smiled embarrassedly.

So the crowd praised a few more children.

The one who praised the most was Chen Xueru.

"This crucian carp tofu soup and radish roast chicken are made by Sister Jinghao." Chen Xuejiao pointed to Jing Hao, so everyone praised Jing Hao again.

"A granddaughter, a granddaughter, not only looks good, but also does housework." Han's shopkeeper praised it.

"I've heard that needlework is good." Muramasa admired.

Chen Xuejiao is happy for the two of them, especially Jing Hao, who is thirteen years old this year, girls in this era usually marry at the age of fifteen or sixteen, but she has such a father, and there will definitely be a toss in family affairs. Now that the village is boasting about Jing Hao, if this is spread out, it will be very good for Jing Hao.

At this time, the in-laws' requirements for girls are to have good housework, good personality, and good needlework.

Jing Hao knew that Chen Xuejiao was making a long face for her, and the grateful Chao Xuejiao smiled, her face crimson.

Talking and laughing, after eating, they began to officially separate.

Old Man Chen and Old Man Li invited Master Qin and Cun Zheng to the top position, and the two of them sat down without excuses.

Old Man Chen and Old Man Li sat down on the left and right, Xianglian's father sat under Old Man Chen, and the shopkeeper Han sat next to Old Man Li.

Master Qin took Chen Qi'an to his side and sat down again.

"Now when it comes to the separation of the family, I am just my in-laws, and I don't have the right to intervene." Old Man Li smiled at everyone, and said to Mrs. Li, "Women and children are not allowed to intervene, you take the children to the girl's house." ”

Mrs. Li took her daughter-in-law and grandchildren out, and Mrs. Chen couldn't stay and entered the Zhao family's house.

Chen Xuejiao looked through the crack in the curtain, and saw her brother Chen Qi'an sitting straight next to Master Qin, with a pair of clear eyes, a straight nose, and a resolute face.

Chen Xuejiao settled down, and her brother had grown into the main force supporting the portal.

"There are ...... in the family now," Mr. Chen began to calculate one by one, "This year's corn and soybeans have been harvested into the family, plus the wheat harvested in May, these grains are distributed to them according to the capita, and the rations for one year ensure that they are full; This year's new cotton has come down, a total of 100 catties, and they are given 40 catties to weave cloth and make clothes. The family has a total of 15 acres of land, and the four acres of land on the side of the Xiaohuai River are distributed to them, and the seeds of the four acres of land in the spring of the next year will be produced by the public. (To be continued......)

ps: Thank you for the reward, don't say much about gratitude, I know it in my heart!
