Chapter 41 "Haunted"
Everyone also saw that Shen Lan didn't want to talk about her mother-in-law's family, so she was smart not to dwell on this topic, plus Song San's sister-in-law saved the scene from time to time, Shen Lan didn't think that talking to people about gossip would step on a landmine.
Time passed slowly, and in the middle of the afternoon, it was finally Shen Lan's turn to make rice noodles, and the people who were waiting were almost gone, only Shen Lan and Song San's sister-in-law were left, seeing that there was no one, Song San's sister-in-law got up to clean up the stool outside, and Shen Lan also poured the half-dried sorghum rice into the stone mortar, and took the mallet to prepare the rice.
"Where can you do this, don't put it down soon, I'll give it to you, you sit next to you and sift the rice noodles." The third sister-in-law of Song, who had put the stool out, was startled when she saw Shen Lan's high wooden mallet, and hurriedly stopped her.
Shen Lan was stunned for a moment, but the gavel in her hand was taken over by Song San's sister-in-law, and she was immediately embarrassed, she thought that Song San's sister-in-law was just talking about it before, but she didn't expect that she really wanted to help Chungmi.
"Third sister-in-law, I can do it, let's do it myself." After all, this rice is also a hard work, Shen Lan is really embarrassed to let the family do it, so she immediately spoke up.
Song San's sister-in-law raised her head and glanced at Shen Lan, then lowered her head to go to the rice, and said angrily while cooking: "You've been here for six months, and you don't pay attention to it, you dare to do anything by yourself, don't you want to die?" ”
Shen Lan was trained to be a little uncomfortable, in fact, she didn't want to do everything by herself, but she was alone at home, and her mother and younger brother were there before, and all the work was done, but tomorrow the rice noodles used for the sacrificial sweep couldn't help but come out, so I thought I would try it first, if I didn't work hard, I would continue to do it, and I would rest for a while, anyway, there was no one behind her.
I didn't hear Shen Lan's movement for a long time, Song San's sister-in-law couldn't help but glance at her, seeing her ashamed appearance at this time, she couldn't help but soften, and persuaded in her mouth: "The third sister-in-law knows that you are a strong character, but you don't care about yourself and your child, you are more than six months old, and you are the first child, so naturally you should be careful." ”
I don't know if pregnant women are more prone to emotional fluctuations, obviously Song San's sister-in-law didn't say anything, but Shen Lan just couldn't help but want to cry, her eyes were unconsciously red, and her nose felt even more sour.
"Thank you, sister-in-law." In the end, Shen Lan still thanked her softly.
Song San's sister-in-law also heard the crying voice in Shen Lan's voice, sighed and comforted: "Don't be blindly stubborn, if you really can't do something, come and tell the third sister-in-law, in the past, you lived under your mother-in-law, and your third brother and I are not good to interfere in your family's affairs, now that you are living by yourself, if there is any inconvenience, just tell the third sister-in-law, and the third sister-in-law and your third brother will definitely help." ”
Shen Lan wiped her tears and nodded vigorously, she was very moved by Song San's words, but she didn't expect an outsider to cherish her more than the people of the original owner's mother-in-law's family, I really don't know what that family thinks, not to mention helping her, but also thinking about making trouble for her all day long, just hoping that the patriarch's words can play a role, and don't come to her trouble again in the future.
Song San's sister-in-law looked at Shen Lan's appearance, and sighed in her heart, maybe Brother Wenxiang shouldn't marry such a weak daughter-in-law back, if she married a fierce daughter-in-law, maybe her life would not be so sad, but such a woman is afraid that she won't be able to enter the eyes of Brother Wenxiang.
Song San's sister-in-law scooped rice, Shen Lan sifted rice noodles, and the two cooperated to scoop out the sorghum rice, and the rice noodles of the sorghum rice were not white, but a little red, but not completely red.
After cooking the rice, Song San's sister-in-law told Shen Lan to prepare the things for tomorrow's worship today, and also told Shen Lan not to fire tomorrow, so it is best to steam some food and put it away, Shen Lan thanked her again and again before going back with rice noodles and pots.
Not long after returning home, I heard someone shouting outside the door, Shen Lan hurriedly walked out of the stove room, and it turned out to be Song Wenrui, dragging two slugs, standing on the drying field with a dirty face and shouting Shen Lan loudly.
"What's the matter?" Shen Lan was staring at the rice noodles in a daze in the stove, in fact, she really didn't know how to make dim sum, and she didn't know what to do when she took the rice noodles home.
"Mother asked you to prepare the meal for tomorrow's worship, and don't forget to go to the sacrifice tomorrow." Snorted, Song Wenrui looked like a microphone.
Shen Lan nodded and replied, "I know." ”
"My mother said that you should have fish and meat, so don't forget to buy meat." Song Wenrui then spoke, and his eyes lit up a little when he talked about meat.
Shen Lan looked at Song Wenrui, and couldn't help but guess in her heart, her mother-in-law wouldn't want her to buy meat, right? Where does she have the money to buy meat, this is too much to ask, right?
"Song Wenrui, is my mother going to sacrifice the two families together or separately?" Shen Lan faintly felt that her mother-in-law sent Song Wenrui to send her a message, which must not be a good thing.
Song Wenrui glanced at Shen Lan, looking Shen Lan very stunned, before he spoke: "Of course, let's sacrifice together, my mother will let you give out fish and meat, as well as rice." ”
Damn, let yourself produce fish and meat, as well as rice, so what does the Song family come up with? Chickens, ducks and geese? Shen Lan wanted to ask such a question, but seeing that the other party was a child, she still stopped asking.
"You go back and tell your mother, since the family has been separated, it is better to separate the sacrifice and sweep, and I can't take out the fish and meat, so the ancestors will blame it, so let's separate the sacrifice and sweep." Shen Lan spoke gently, asking her to vent her dissatisfaction with a child, she really couldn't do it, so she only persuaded Song Wenrui gently.
"I don't care, anyway, that's what my mother said, you must produce meat and fish, don't think that I don't know that you made money picking tea, and you are reluctant to take it out to buy meat for us to eat, stingy ghost." Song Wenrui spoke with a rogue face.
"Song Wenrui, all the money I used to pick tea leaves was used to buy sacrifices, where is the money to buy meat? Besides, can't you all go to tea picking to make money? If you want to eat meat, you won't buy it yourself? Why should I buy it? I'm still pregnant with a baby, so I can't afford to leave some money for a midwife. Shen Lan was angry when she heard this, and she really fell in love with the money she spent picking tea, who is this.
"Anyway, my mother asked you to buy meat and fish, you hurry up and buy it, and the meat will be sold out later." Song Wenrui didn't give up.
Shen Lan endured it, and knew that she couldn't understand it with a child, so she said, "Okay, you go back, I know." ”
Seeing that Shen Lan agreed, Song Wenrui happily jumped directly from the edge of Shen Lan's house, and Shen Lan was dumbfounded, it was a shore more than one meter high, and it took him half a day to go down cautiously last time.
However, Shen Lan didn't bother to care about the idle affairs over there, so she went back to the house directly, and wanted to eat meat, but she was afraid that the people in the house wanted to eat her Shen Lan's meat, but it was a pity that she was not Qin Xianglian, and she was willing to cut her own meat to feed her in-laws.
Back to the house and then study how to make the so-called rice cake, the food of this era is really difficult for Shen Lan, it is difficult for her to cook rice and stir-fry, but Shen Lan really can't do it in terms of noodles, she is not a pastry master, where can she make rice cakes, steamed buns and other things.
It's really not, after struggling for a long time, Shen Lan thought that Song San's sister-in-law had said that she could go to her if she was in trouble, so Shen Lan went out to find Song San's sister-in-law with her family's rice noodles.
When I came to Song San's sister-in-law's house, Song San's sister-in-law was also making rice cake, and when she saw Shen Lan holding a dustpan of rice noodles, she was dumbfounded for a while.
"You won't forget to cook, will you?" Song San's sister-in-law asked.
Shen Lan nodded embarrassedly, usually she boiled porridge and then made some cold dishes, or baked breadfruit and took it out, and did not ask her to do any special processing, which naturally would not expose the disadvantages of her not being able to make pastries, and it was because of this that Shen Zhao did not ask her if she could make rice cakes.
"It's not that I forgot to cook, but I just don't know how to cook rice cake anymore." Shen Lan explained in a low voice.
"Isn't it that the other baba won't make it?" Song San's sister-in-law asked.
Shen Lan blushed, she really didn't know how to do it.
Seeing her like this, Song San's sister-in-law also knew, so she steamed her own rice cake and began to teach Shen Lan how to make it, and knew that Shen Lan didn't even have a steamer at home, so she simply asked Shen Lan to make it at her house, and directly took the finished product back.
Shen Lan didn't know it either, but after listening to Song San's suggestion, she naturally responded, and when Song San's sister-in-law's rice cake was steamed, Shen Lan found that it wasn't the so-called rice cake in her time? There is no milk in this rice cake, and it lacks the milky flavor of the rice cake that Shen Lan has eaten, but it is soft and glutinous and delicious in the mouth, and there is a faint sweetness, I have seen the process of Song San's sister-in-law making rice cakes before, and I also know that Song San's sister-in-law added some green juice to the rice cake, so this rice cake is not snow-white or light yellow, but a little dark, but it is okay to eat.
After steaming the rice cakes, Shen Lan directly took the rice cakes back with the dustpan filled with rice noodles, and went home with her little Lori Song Lian, it seems that Song Lian and her mother declared that they would not stay overnight, but unfortunately they were rejected by Song San's sister-in-law, and poor little Lori still had to follow Shen Lan back.
Back at home, Shen Lan first put the rice cakes into the basket, and then hung them in the middle of the stove, at this time there is no refrigerator, most people will use this method to put leftovers or ingredients in the basket and hang them in the air, it seems to be used to prevent mice, after all, the basket is a thin rope, and mice can't climb down the rope.
"Aunt Six, when did you prepare the fish and shrimp? And is this Haizi? Song Lian, who followed back, guarded Shen Lan inch by inch, so she followed Shen Lan into the stove, and naturally saw what Shen Lan had originally prepared for the sacrifice, and immediately shouted.
I really want to slap myself in the face, Shen Lan silently lit a candle for herself in her heart, why didn't she remember to put things away, and put them on her stove so generously.
"Lianniang, what do you see behind you?" Shen Lan suddenly screamed, Song Lian hurriedly turned around, Shen Lan took the opportunity to put the eye-catching coconut crab into the space, and at the same time there was blood silently in her heart, so the big crab was gone.
