The rule here is to worship ancestors at night, which is very strange, Dong Xiaoman thinks it is so terrifying. The group went to the cemetery and found that the whole village was basically worshipping their ancestors from house to house.

is different from the terrifying and eerie scene that Dong Xiaoman imagined, here is a scene of lights and prosperity. Torches were lit, red lanterns, laughing children, and firecrackers were gasped from time to time. Dong Xiaoman didn't understand why some people still set off firecrackers when they went to the grave of their ancestors, but Erlang secretly whispered to her: "The ancestors are also going to celebrate the New Year, we have to burn firecrackers for them." ”

After returning from worshipping his ancestors, Dong Xiaoman is about to start the main event again. Prepare the most important Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, fortunately, because she is in charge of cooking the dumpling stuff is handed over to Mrs. Zhang and Li.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is the most sumptuous dish of the year, and Dong Xiaoman prepared sixteen dishes in one go, which means auspicious wishes. In fact, it wasn't that she wanted to cook sixteen dishes, it was Li who chewed his tongue in front of the old lady and said: "Since the family loves to eat, let them eat enough at thirty, anyway, cooking is tiring and not dying." ”

In this way, Mrs. Zhang gave an order to sixteen, Dong Xiaoman rolled his eyes and thought to himself: Eat so much at night, aren't you afraid to hold on?

Sixteen dishes, Dong Xiaoman thought for a long time, and decided to give it ten meat dishes and six vegetarian dishes. Cold dishes are cold salad peel, soybean sprouts, pork skin jelly, pumpkin and jujube cake dipped in sugar, three vegetarians, one meat and four dishes. The hot dishes are stir-fried dried beans, scrambled eggs with garlic sprouts, stewed tofu soup with various mushrooms, braised pork belly, chicken feet in sauce, braised fish, stewed mushrooms with chicken, braised pork ribs, hand-grilled meat, dry pot fat goose, fried chicken gizzards, and fat intestines. All of them add up to exactly six vegetarian dishes and ten meat dishes, and Mrs. Zhang's request has been fulfilled.

These sixteen dishes are really not easy to make, but Dong Xiaoman thinks that these people will not pay too much attention to the taste of eating. simply boiled all the meat that could be cooked, a bit like the pressure cooker of later generations.

Fortunately, after the pork skin is frozen, it is a dish to cool down on its own after it is frozen, and the skin is also easy to make, and the bean sprouts can be cold when cooked.

While making the chicken and mushroom stew, the other pot is stuffed with braised pork, covered with a curtain to steam the pork, and then the sauce for the hand-grilled meat is made. One pot of braised pork ribs, one pot of dry braised fish, and all the cold dishes are ready while waiting. When making tofu soup later, just heat up the pumpkin and jujube cake that is already there. The rest of the dishes were quickly fried and finished, and all the dishes were served to the table by the Li family, and Dong Xiaoman put the dumplings in the pot non-stop.

When Dong Xiaoman cooked all the dumplings, the last one left the kitchen and entered the house with dumplings, and he wanted to scold when he saw the scene.

For no other reason, Chinese New Year's Eve worked hard to make a table of dishes, and no one waited for him to eat together. I can't wait to finish it all, and then I feel comfortable and wait for myself to serve the dumplings.

Da Lang puffed his stomach and said to the Li family: "You go and serve me a bowl of dumpling soup, give me Shunshun, it's so delicious." ”

Dong Xiaoman sat beside Erlang unhappily, and Erlang brought a plate with a large plate of dishes. smiled and said, "Eat quickly, you're tired of making so many dishes by yourself." ”

Dong Xiaoman could see at a glance that Erlang left it for her, and it was strange how Mrs. Zhang could tolerate her son's behavior of being so accustomed to her daughter-in-law under her nose.

Sure enough, Mrs. Zhang said in a weird manner: "Hurry up and eat, Erlang is afraid that we will starve you." Hmph, I'll get you a plate with so many dishes. ”

Erlang said with a smile: "Xiaoman is just cooking dumplings, this dish is about to be eaten, so I have to leave some for her." ”

Mrs. Zhang said, "Can I still give her food?" Now the time is good, if in the past, hum, even the Chinese New Year's Eve daughter-in-law would have to squat in the kitchen to eat leftovers. ”

Dong Xiaoman was silent, and reached out under the table to pull the corner of Erlang's clothes. Erlang noticed it and unconsciously approached Dong Xiaoman. Dong Xiaoman said next to Erlang's ear: "Isn't it just a meal, don't make a noise, I don't care." ”

Again, men will always sympathize with vulnerable women, whether they are daughters-in-law or mothers-in-law. Especially in the case of Dong Xiaoman, who is bullied and returns to his parents' home, if you show the attitude of "I don't care", "I don't care, I'm fine", "It's okay to suffer a little loss, it's okay to suffer a little crime", then the man next to you has started his heroic thinking.

"Okay, you guys really are, just like that, you won't have anything left to eat. Are you embarrassed, in the future, if the whole family is not gathered at dinner, no one is allowed to use chopsticks for me. Old Man Zhang actually didn't notice that the second daughter-in-law hadn't been served yet, although he didn't think much about Erlang's plate of non-stop dishes, so he realized that it was reserved for the second daughter-in-law.

"It's okay, I can't eat much, as long as everyone likes to eat it." Dong Xiaoman said politely and indifferently.

The attitude of the people is there, and it seems that Mrs. Zhang is even more mean. She felt it herself, pursed her lips and turned her head and said, "Eldest daughter-in-law, you will follow when you cook in the future." Don't keep letting people do it, can't you cut a vegetable even if it's unpalatable? Learn from others to cook two more dishes for my grandson, and I want to vomit when I eat that stuff every day. ”

Li's face turned white, and he said unhappily: "How can I have the skills of my younger brothers and sisters, if I have that skill, I would have opened a restaurant and become the proprietress a long time ago." ”

Speaking of this, the Li family came to the spirit, and said to Dong Xiaoman, who was chewing slowly: "I said brother and sister, since your craftsmanship is so good, why don't we open a restaurant between the two of us." You're in charge of cooking, and I'm in charge of the hospitality, what do you say? ”

Dong Xiaoman choked when he heard this, and before he could swallow the food, he actually sprayed it into his nose and choked himself. Erlang patted Dong Xiaoman on the back and said, "Then what am I doing?" ”

Li said with a smile: "Of course, your family has so much land for farming, and in the future, your eldest brother and you will farm at home." Your daughter-in-law and I will open a restaurant to make money, how good it is for one to cook and the other to cook. ”

"Nonsense, what do women do when they show up? Make people laugh! Old Man Zhang was very unwelcome, but Mrs. Zhang was very happy: "Then what's there, just make money." Oh, the eldest daughter-in-law is a good method, I'll show you the child, and you can earn money. ”

Dong Xiaoman patted his chest and finally got his breath, and gently pinched Erlang's leg under the table. Then he was silent and bowed his head to eat. Li Shi was unhappy when he saw it, and opened his mouth and said, "What's the matter, brother and sister, would you like to say something?" ”

Erlang looked at his mother and said, "Mother, this matter is too unreliable." ”

Mrs. Zhang glared and said, "Why is it unreliable?" Your daughter-in-law has good craftsmanship, and she will definitely make money by opening a restaurant. The two of you can sell it for money when you make some dim sum, and you can pay it back with a meat grill bar, what is this? ”

Erlang smiled bitterly: "The two of us are not fighting so hard for the house, where do we have the time to open a restaurant if we want to build a house this spring?" Besides, the houses in the city are so expensive that we don't have enough money. ”

Mrs. Zhang then remembered the reality, Dong Xiaoman put down the chopsticks and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, since the sister-in-law has this calculation, it means that the sister-in-law is rich." It's better for my sister-in-law to buy a house or rent a shop in the city, and I will be the same as a cook for you when the time comes. After speaking, he was very longing and pulled Erlang and smiled: "When the time comes, you build a house at home, and it is also a good way for me to work part-time for my sister-in-law." So I can still subsidize the family, you agree, okay? ”

Dong Xiaoman said this well, the two of them didn't spend a penny on the house. Erlang spent money to build a house here, and Dong Xiaoman was very reasonable to be a cook to earn money.

Li was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect to become his own boss, but how could the two of them have so much money in their hands? Even if there is, what if you lose money? She said that when she did business, she thought that Erlang and his wife would invest, and then take a piece of the pie with their labor.

The direction of things has changed, and Mrs. Zhang has always looked at her son rather than her daughter-in-law. nodded immediately and said, "Eldest daughter-in-law, the two of them still have to build a house." If you want to open a restaurant, you can hire your younger siblings. ”

Li smiled dryly: "How can we have all that money, I thought I would make a fortune by relying on Erlang and his family." ”

Da Lang sneered here: "You can think about others blindly every day, and you are not able to calculate yourself." ”

Li was stunned, his face was red and white, and he didn't dare to show his face, let alone quarrel with Da Lang in public. Said curtly: "Don't I also do everything possible for the sake of this family, Erlang and they are going to build a new house, and I don't know when I will be able to live there." ”

Da Lang is a solid person, and his daughter-in-law is really not very good these days. Besides, people like to compare, every day you don't need to look at other people's homes to see Dong Xiaoman's attitude towards Erlang, Dong Xiaoman's look, language and temperament are not the best.

Look at your daughter-in-law on the other hand, the thick waist and tiger's back are foul words, laughing at others all day long about other people's affairs, or they like to mix with Erlang. None of the so many bad things in the family have nothing to do with his daughter-in-law, so he is embarrassed to talk to Erlang.

Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, the big man who was originally holding his breath in his heart, met such an understanding brother and daughter-in-law, and then looked at the daughter-in-law who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic all day long. Then a wave of fire slowly spread from the soles of the feet.

When a man hates his wife and thinks she is worthless, when he starts looking for flowers and willows. As a wife, don't complain that all men in the world are distracted, but think about where your problems are.

A slap can't be slapped, so he who loves you is now disgusted with you, and half of the responsibility is always on yourself.
