Chapter 2 The New Daughter-in-law
Dong Xiaoman is a person who must stick to the decision when he makes it, and he got up early the next morning. After changing clothes, washing up, and getting ready to do what a new daughter-in-law should do, make breakfast.
Zhang Chengwu also got up when he heard the sound in the house, and secretly told himself with the anger of getting up: From today onwards, he will start taking care of that fool to eat, drink, and Lazar.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I looked up and saw the beauty coming out of the warm pavilion, I immediately forgot what I had just thought. Bright eyes, red mouth, delicate figure. Zhang Chengwu rubbed his eyes in disbelief, he thought that her stupid wife was a person with drooling and demented eyes.
I saw the beautiful woman in red slowly walk up to her and grin her cherry-like little mouth: "Good morning, husband, did you sleep well last night?" β
Zhang Chengwu was stunned and stammered a little and said, "Okay, it's okay." β
Dong Xiaoman is very satisfied with the effect she has made, although she is not tall in this life, she has prominent measurements, big eyes, and white skin. Although she is not a beauty, she has been influenced by many years of nude makeup and makeup in later generations, and of course she knows how to dress herself.
Dong Xiaoman didn't pay attention to Zhang Chengwu after speaking, and walked out of the door directly, Zhang Chengwu was stunned for a moment and immediately caught up: "Where are you going?" β
Dong Xiaoman turned around and smiled gently: "Of course, I made breakfast for my parents-in-law!" Isn't your husband hungry? β
Zhang Chengwu was a little puzzled, isn't his wife a little stupid? Could it be that this time is good again, or a fool who knows how to cook.
was thinking about it while walking behind Dong Xiaoman, not wanting Dong Xiaoman to stop suddenly. Zhang Chengwu was startled and hurriedly took a step back. I saw Dong Xiaoman turn around and say in a somewhat delicate voice: "Husband, I don't know where the kitchen is!" Will you take me there? "Okay, this is asking Zhang Chengwu. Looking at Dong Xiaoman's longing expression, I don't know why Zhang Chengwu's heart softened.
I didn't notice that my voice became very soft, and I said, "I'll take you there." β
The Zhang family, as a farmer, actually has a good family background, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law live in the three main houses. The uncle's family lived in two rooms on the east side. My family and my uncle live in two rooms on the west side, and the granary and kitchen and toilet are in the backyard.
Dong Xiaoman walked into the kitchen and saw the leftover food on the mat that was piled up in a mess. It can be seen that the sister-in-law is not a neat person, otherwise she would not let these plates and bowls get everywhere.
Dong Xiaoman asked Zhang Chengwu again in a soft tone: "Husband, can you help others boil some water?" This time, Zhang Chengwu didn't even have any doubts and started to work without saying a word, he comforted himself that he was so obedient because he wanted to see the extent of his daughter-in-law's illness.
While the water was boiling, Dong Xiaoman divided the leftovers. All the dishes were gathered together, and some of the dishes were really unsightly and the weather was so hot that they were just put together and prepared to feed the pigs.
picked out the dishes that were quite good and put them together, and Dong Xiaoman decided to reprocess them to make stews. When the staple food at home was that there was still a pot of steamed buns left, Dong Xiaoman went to the vegetable garden and pulled a few radishes and a handful of shallots to prepare to make a radish soup.
After the water in the pot boiled, Dong Xiaoman once again instructed Zhang Chengwu to pour hot water into the basin for washing dishes. Then soak the dirty bowl in hot water and pour the leftovers into the pot for secondary processing.
Stew vegetables in one pot, boil water in the other pot, throw the shredded radish into the pot, sit on the curtain, and put the steamed buns on top. In this way, there was rice, vegetables and soup, and when it was not good, I quickly found some flour alkali and began to wash the dishes.
Looking at Dong Xiaoman's actions in one go, Zhang Chengwu was a little dumbfounded. He guessed that Dong Xiaoman and his family must treat her as a maid, and this job was too neat.
Dong Xiaoman looked up at Zhang Chengwu, who didn't know what he was thinking, and was wandering into the world, and had the intention to let him go and said, "Husband, I don't need you to be busy here." You haven't washed yet, go wash your face, we'll start dinner soon." β
In fact, Dong Xiaoman and his wife have been out of the room since the beginning, everyone knows what they are doing, there is no way, there is nothing to do, and they are quiet and curious about this stupid daughter-in-law.
When I saw Zhang Chengwu coming out of the kitchen and detouring to the front, I saw everyone in the room standing at the door as if waiting for him.
The Li family was the most unobtrusive, and immediately stepped forward and quipped: "Erlang, what are you doing in the backyard with your daughter-in-law?" β
Zhang Chengwu usually hates this sister-in-law's nonsense all day long, learning everywhere, hating it, hating it, after all, it is the eldest brother's daughter-in-law. But today, when I saw my daughter-in-law like that, I found that women can also speak softly and move softly, so I feel more and more vulgar about my sister-in-law.
Zhang Chengwu saw that his parents were also waiting for his answer, so he had to frown and say in a muffled voice: "She went to cook, and she brushed all the dishes." β
Mrs. Dong is a traditional mother-in-law, and she can grasp the "point" in her words, and said with some displeasure: "Eldest daughter-in-law, you went to bed yesterday without even brushing the bowl!" Why don't you brush and wait for us to eat with a plate of vegetables? β
Li's face turned red, and he said with a dry smile: "Mother, I was really tired after a busy day yesterday. I thought I would get up early this morning and finish all the work, but I didn't expect ......"
Mrs. Dong muttered unhappily, "What didn't you expect?" I didn't expect people to get up earlier than you and finish it early? You're not even a fool! After saying that, he pulled his face, shook off his clothes and entered the house.
Li's face turned blue and white for a while, and he hurriedly walked towards the backyard, cursing in his heart: You fool embarrassed me as soon as you entered the door, and you will suffer in the future.
I saw Dong Xiaoman walking over with chopsticks, walked in front of him and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is early." β
Li Shi looked at Dong Xiaoman with pity on the shelf and said, "Well, it's really hard for you to get up and cook so early!" Did your mother teach you? What else did your mother teach you? β
Dong Xiaoman was very disgusted by Li's attitude, but he also pursed his lips and said: "It's not hard, my sister-in-law was tired yesterday, and Xiaoman should cook today!" β
After speaking, regardless of Li's astonishment, he passed by her and walked towards the upper room.
Dong Xiaoman's blow to everyone is too great: there is a torn roast chicken on the table, and if you don't look carefully, you can't find that it is the leftovers on the table, the elbows that have been messed up are stir-fried by sweet and sour garlic and immediately fragrant, the remaining big pot of stewed vegetables is also fragrant, and there is no more luxurious breakfast than a big soup bowl of radish soup and hot steamed buns.
Dong Xiaoman served everyone the soup one by one, and put the steamed buns in everyone's small plate. After watching everyone sit down, she naturally stood behind Mrs. Dong and looked at everyone quietly.
"Second daughter-in-law, what are you doing standing? Sit down and eat! Old Man Zhang was very puzzled and asked the questions of everyone present.
Dong Xiaoman replied in a soft tone rather than respectfully: "My mother taught me: There is no reason for a daughter-in-law to sit and eat in the high hall, and you should stand and wait for the elders to eat at any time." β
This is indeed what Dong's mother said, she herself is a maid of a big family. Therefore, I can read and write, settle accounts, do needlework and understand etiquette. The two siblings of the Dong family were influenced by their mother, and they did not see the vulgar temperament of their body at all. Although Dong Xiaoman is stupid, he just has a relatively low IQ like a child.
Although this rule did exist in ancient times, it was not acceptable in the eyes of most countrymen. Only a particularly tricky mother-in-law or a daughter-in-law who is particularly good at things will be like this.
"Our family doesn't like this, you can eat with us in the future." Old Man Zhang pointed to the position next to Erlang, meaning to let Dong Xiaoman sit down to eat.
In fact, of course, Dong Xiaoman sat down to eat immediately, but she was very clean and didn't want to eat other people's leftovers. She left herself a bowl of radish soup and a steamed bun and waited to eat it later.
Dalang Zhang Chengwen is an honest person, and he also said politely to Dong Xiaoman: "Brother and sister, sit down and eat, our family doesn't have that rule." Your sister-in-law has been in the door for several years, and she hasn't served us for dinner. Hehe, you go scoop a bowl and eat it. β
As soon as Da Lang's words came out, Mrs. Zhang immediately snorted coldly: "Yes, I haven't known how to serve Gao Tang for dinner after entering the house for so many years." β
As early as when Zhang Chengwen spoke, Li expected that her mother-in-law would take the opportunity to talk about herself, but she was really as angry as she expected, and she was really like a slap in the face to that fool. It's really her nemesis, she just got scolded twice in a morning just after entering the door, disaster.
Dong Xiaoman knew that if he sat down today, he would definitely be put into his mouth, saying that he was pretending, and he really didn't want to eat other people's saliva. had to excuse himself: "Let me serve everyone to eat today, and tomorrow I will follow the customs." β
After speaking, he saw that the little fat dun who saw his sister-in-law's son changing his name to Bao'er was getting up and struggling to hold the meat, and immediately stepped forward and said, "Auntie is here to pick up vegetables for you." β
Zhang Chengjie said with a mouth full of oil: "Second sister-in-law, your cooking is so delicious." Yesterday's table was not as delicious as yours, and this meat is so delicious. β
Dong Xiaoman knows that all parents are more partial to the youngest children, and it is the key to be able to win the favor of his mother-in-law. If Erlang said that he was good, his mother-in-law would think that he was lying and afraid of his daughter-in-law, but if the uncle said that he was good, then he was really good.
picked up a large piece of meat, put it into the small plate in front of Zhang Chengjie, and said softly: "If you like to eat, eat more, eating well is also good for your brain." In the future, I will take the top prize and earn a life for our mother. β
It's just a casual remark, and Mrs. Zhang, who was casually boastful, smiled and gave a piece of chopsticks to her youngest son: "Your second sister-in-law is right, eat more of the champion." Hehe. β
Zhang Chengjie is a ghost, knowing that his sister-in-law cooks deliciously, he immediately stammered: "If I eat them all, my sister-in-law will be gone." β
Dong Xiaoman wiped the corners of his sister-in-law's daughter Yun'er, and said in an indifferent tone: "Sister-in-law likes to drink soup, and she will drink a big bowl of soup in a while." β
Seeing Dong Xiaoman talking and doing things like a normal person, Old Man Zhang was a little surprised: "How are you the second daughter-in-law?"
Dong Xiaoman waited for this sentence, and was busy all morning before asking. I saw that she was not in a hurry to serve Hao Yun'er, slowly raised her head to look at everyone and chuckled: "It's just a long time, and she's just timid." By 17

No, not at all. But Old Man Zhang was still a little puzzled: "Then your mother also said that you have been good in the past few years, and your father also said that you are stupid." β
Dong Xiaoman covered his mouth lightly and smiled: "My mother is from a big family, and her words and actions are unusual; My father's ability is also incomparable to me; My brother grew up like a monkey, and I couldn't catch up. In addition, I have been weak since I was a child, and I can't do the same rough work at home. You see, don't I stay at home like a wreck? β
So it was as if the crowd had been struck by lightning. Especially Zhang Chengwu, he didn't expect that his daughter-in-law was not only not a fool, but also a beautiful woman who could speak well and cook good dishes.
Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang looked at each other, and they both saw a sentence in each other's eyes: I took advantage!
