Chapter 267 Dragon Boat Festival gifts
When the mother and daughter left, they passed by the stall of Yao Cuihua and his wife, and Yao Cuihua said in a strange manner: "Yo! It's not easy to feel sorry for outsiders, so don't feel sorry for your own aunt! ”
Bai Mengdie immediately slammed back: "What about my aunt?" The relationship between our two families is not as good as that of outsiders, so why should I feel sorry for you!
When we didn't break up, you never admitted that your mother was your sister-in-law, and now in order to sell us the drowned pork, this mouth is so sweet, and you called my mother's sister-in-law just now!
Now that we bought other people's meat, you have changed your face again, and you want to scold, right, you scold, I just don't buy your meat, and I'm angry with you! After that, he took Tian Chunfang and left.
It's not early, and she doesn't have the time to quarrel with Yao Cuihua endlessly.
When I arrived at my grandmother's house, it was already half past four in the afternoon.
Bai Mengdie looked at her grandmother's house and was very emotional.
It's the end of the 90s, and my grandmother's house still lives in an adobe house, this kind of house is no longer inhabited in the countryside, and my grandmother's family is really poor!
Grandma was very happy to see Tian Chunfang's mother and daughter, but there was some uneasiness between her eyebrows.
Bai Mengdie guessed that it must be because Tian Chunfang hadn't come after noon, and her grandmother thought something had happened to her in-law's house, so she was uneasy.
Mrs. Tian saw that Bai Mengdie was also coming, although she was very surprised, she was still anxious to ask Tian Chunfang why she came so late.
Tian Chunfang put away the umbrella, leaned against the wall outside the gate and let it flow, and told her the reason.
Mrs. Tian was relieved.
Tian Chunfang handed over the gift to Mrs. Tian.
Mrs. Tian saw that Tian Chunfang had bought a lot of fabrics, glanced at Bai Mengdie cautiously, and complained: "Why did you buy so many fabrics, why don't you keep them to make clothes for your parents-in-law and men?" ”
Tian Chunfang took the boiled water handed over by her brother-in-law, and said with a smile: "Didn't I tell my mother, my second brother and daughter-in-law and I are in the cloth business, and my mother is still afraid that my parents-in-law and patriotism will have no clothes to wear?" These cloths didn't cost a lot of money, so Mom can accept them with confidence. ”
Mrs. Tian then sent the fabrics, along with wine and snacks, to her room and put them away.
Tian Chunfang pointed to pork ribs and pork liver and other ingredients and said, "Mom, don't put these, cook and eat them at night." ”
Mrs. Tian said angrily: "Why do you buy so much meat, just buy a piece of ribs." ”
Tian Chunfang wanted to put gold on Bai Mengdie's face, and said, "Why do I want to buy so much, it was Fluttershy who asked me to buy it to be filial to my parents." ”
"Yo! Fluttershy is ...... It was so good for us! Mrs. Tian was flattered and spoke a little incoherently.
Bai Mengdie's face flushed.
It's all because the original owner is stupid, she was provoked by Bai Jie's dog thing, and she disliked Tian Chunfang's maiden family in every way, so Mrs. Tian was so afraid of her, and they were all trembling when they saw her.
Bai Mengdie laughed embarrassedly: "Why didn't grandma say that you were better to me, when I was a child, I always took me to live in your house, all the delicious food and drink were given to me, and my cousin didn't have a share, so I should be filial to you now." ”
Tian Yongkang snorted coldly on the side.
Tian Laohan slapped him on the back of the head: "What are you doing standing stupidly, why don't you buy half a catty of fruit candy for your cousin to eat!" ”
Tian Yongkang said in a rough voice: "I have no money!" ”
Mrs. Tian hurriedly took out two yuan from her body and gave it to him: "This is not money, go buy it!" ”
I have to hurry up and spend this ignorant grandson, so as not to offend Bai Mengdie, a distinguished guest.
Tian Yongkang reluctantly took the money and prepared to go out to buy fruit candy.
Bai Mengdie hurriedly said: "Don't buy it, I'm losing weight, I don't eat sugar." ”
Tian Yongkang whispered BB: "Lose the fat of a fart, the more you lose weight, the fatter you get!" ”
Bai Mengdie is not angry, nor is he smiling, and he doesn't know what expression to put on.
Tian Laohan slapped Tian Yongkang on the back of the head again, and scolded: "Tell you to buy a fruit candy, why are you farting so much, hurry up!" ”
Tian Yongkang was slapped twice in a row because of Bai Mengdie, and he didn't like her even more, and glared at her very unhappily when he went out.
Bai Mengdie was speechless when she saw it in her eyes.
It was the original owner who was at odds with Tian Yongkang, but now he let her take the blame~
Mrs. Tian looked at the meat ingredients that Tian Chunfang's mother and daughter bought, and said, "These are enough to make a good table, so I won't kill chickens." ”
She originally planned that Tian Chunfang would bring Shi Lei to give a gift and kill a chicken to entertain them.
But now Tian Chunfang's mother and daughter have bought so many meat ingredients, and if they kill the chicken, they are afraid that they will not be able to eat it, and the weather is hot, so they will spoil it overnight and spoil things.
Tian Chunfang nodded: "It's good to be able to eat all this meat, what kind of chicken are you killing?" ”
Tian Laohan frowned and said, "Old woman, even if you don't kill chickens, you have to make a bowl of poached eggs for Chunfang and Fluttershy alone, why do you keep talking?" ”
Mrs. Tian smiled apologetically at Bai Mengdie: "I'll make poached eggs for you." ”
At the end of the 90s, eggs were really nothing in ordinary farmers' homes, raising more than a dozen chickens, laying eggs, eating half of them at home and selling half of them.
But the Tian family is too poor, and they have to rely on selling eggs for a few cash, so eggs are considered delicious in the Tian family, and even the only grandson Tian Yongkang can rarely eat one, how can Bai Mengdie bear to eat it?
She stopped Mrs. Tian and said, "Grandma, don't beat poached eggs, let's make dinner directly, my mother and I have to rush back to eat our Bai family's holiday dinner." ”
Mrs. Tian looked at Tian Chunfang hesitantly.
Tian Chunfang nodded, "Just listen to Fluttershy." ”
Mrs. Tian went to the kitchen with her daughter-in-law to clean the meat ingredients.
Bai Mengdie stood at the door of the hall and said to the kitchen: "Grandma, do you have potatoes at home, I will make steamed pork ribs for you later." ”
"Potatoes, there are no potatoes at home, so I'll ask your uncle to dig potatoes in the vegetable field." Mrs. Tian immediately instructed Tian Chunping to dig potatoes.
Tian Chunping honestly took the shovel basket and went out with an umbrella to dig potatoes.
Tianjia Village is far away from the town, and it is not convenient to buy things, so there is a nimble family in the village who has opened a small shop to facilitate the villagers of this village and nearby villages to buy things.
Tian Yongkang came back from buying fruit candy, and just happened to hear Bai Mengdie's words, and sneered: "Do you know how to make tamales?" Net bragging! ”
Bai Mengdie had already let him go several times, but this guy was staring at her.
She was just a little girl, Tian Yongkang ridiculed her again and again, and she was angry.
"Am I bragging? I've made this dinner at your house today, let you taste my cooking skills, and see if you will make fun of me in the future! ”
Tian Yongkang pursed his lips disdainfully: "You better wait quietly and wait, don't spoil things." ”
Tian Chunfang said, "Yongkang, I'm not happy that you say that about Fluttershy, she is really good at cooking, I'm afraid that you will eat her dishes later, and even lick the plate three times!" ”
Tian Yongkang likes his aunt very much, so he won't scold Tian Chunfang, but he doesn't believe what she says at all.
The pampered white dream butterfly can cook, and the sow will go up the tree.
Bai Mengdie didn't care if he believed it or not, just roll up his sleeves and finish it, and let him slap his face like crazy later.
After the old lady and daughter-in-law cleaned the ingredients, Bai Mengdie went to the kitchen to cook.
But she didn't want to cheap Tian Yongkang, so she pointed at him and ordered: "You go to the fire for me!" ”
Before Tian Yongkang could say anything, he was kicked out of the hall by Tian Laohan: "Your cousin asked you to go to the fire, you go quickly, what are you doing here?" ”
The corners of Bai Mengdie's mouth twitched, Grandpa, can you not be so violent to your only grandson?
Although Tian Yongkang was very unhappy, he still went into the kitchen to help Bai Mengdie light the fire.
Pork belly and fat sausage must be cooked before they can be cooked.
Bai Mengdie put the pork belly and fat intestines in the pot and boiled them, added white wine to remove the peculiar smell, and dropped a few drops of vinegar to make the pork belly and fat intestines rot faster.
The pork knuckle was soaked in cold water by her, so that the blood in it could be cleaned up, and it would be made into Dongpo pork knuckle later.
Roast Dongpo pork knuckle to star anise, cinnamon, pepper, cloves, fennel, grass, nutmeg, bay leaves, tangerine peel and other spices.
But how can ordinary rural families have such a complete set of spices.
Fortunately, there are thirteen spices and star anise cinnamon peppercorns in the kitchen of the Tian family, which can barely cope with making Dongpo pork knuckle.
The taste is definitely worse than the Dongpo pork knuckle made with all the spices, but the face of the stinky boy Datian Yongkang is still enough.
Bai Mengdie was busy in the kitchen, and Tian Laohan and the others sat in the hall and talked with Tian Chunfang.
Mrs. Tian asked Tian Chunfang, "Why is it not Lei Lei who is following you today, but Fluttershy?" ”
I don't blame Mrs. Tian for the question mark in her stomach, the original owner refused to come to their house again since she was eleven or twelve years old, and now she suddenly came to their house, of course Mrs. Tian felt strange.
Tian Chunfang told Mrs. Tian and others about the changes in her stepdaughter during this time.
Finally, he said, "Fluttershy is a good boy, she used to be blinded by Bai Jie's dog, so she hated us, but now that she understands it, of course she is willing to follow me to visit her parents." ”
Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered something: "This Dragon Boat Festival, Fluttershy gave me eighty yuan for you to give, but I forgot~"
After that, he took out a stack of money from his body, looked at it, and handed it to Mrs. Tian: "Eighty yuan is given by Xiaodie, the other forty yuan is from Lei Lei's filial piety, and the other sixty yuan is given by patriotism." ”
Mrs. Tian blossomed: "Your children and men all have hearts, I only accept patriotic, and you can use the rest of the money to honor your father-in-law and mother-in-law." ”
Tian Chunfang's ex-father-in-law and mother-in-law because her mother-in-law was poor, and she always suspected that she was secretly subsidizing her mother's family, so she beat and scolded her, and as soon as Shi Lei's father died, her mother and son were driven out of the Shi family by her ex-father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Tian Chunfang's mother and son have suffered so much in the Shi family, which is an eternal pain in the hearts of Tian Laohan and his family.
They would rather Tian Chunfang give them nothing, as long as she and the child are not angry at her in-law's house, so they don't dare to accept Shi Lei and Bai Mengdie's money to honor them, for fear that the old man and the old couple will have ideas.
As for Bai Aiguo's filial piety money for New Year's holidays, they still accept it, and they will return it in the future.
Tian Chunfang stuffed all the money into Mrs. Tian's hand, and said, "Lei Lei and Xiaodie gave their grandparents money for the Dragon Boat Festival, and their grandmother also told them not to be filial to their grandparents and grandparents, not to their grandparents, so this money can be accepted boldly and boldly." ”
Mrs. Tian accepted all the money at this time, and said with emotion: "Your father-in-law and mother-in-law really have nothing to say about their character, compared with the old couple of the Shi family, one is in heaven and one is on the ground." ”
Tian Chunfang lowered her head and said quietly: "Can it be the same, Grandma Shi Lei is his father's stepmother......
Tian Laohan lowered his face: "I said old woman, what are you doing with the Shi family during the big holiday!" ”
Mrs. Tian sneered and changed the subject: "Your relationship with Fluttershy has improved, but what about the patriotic?" ”
Bai Aiguo doesn't like Tian Chunfang, this is the heart disease of Mrs. Tian's old couple.
Although Bai Aiguo fulfilled his responsibility as a son-in-law to their Tian family, Mrs. Tian and his wife still hoped that he would love each other.
Tian Chunfang blushed and said shyly: "Love him...... It's been nice to me with Fluttershy's persuasion......"
As soon as the four members of the Tian family heard this, the stone that had been pressing on their hearts for a long time suddenly disappeared, and they all felt inexplicably comfortable.
Tian Laohan was very excited, and said again and again: "This is good, this is good!" ”
Tian Chunfang asked Tian Yongkang how much money he made by selling gardenias.
The old lady was quite pleased: "I have earned five or six hundred from selling gardenias this week, but I am delaying my studies." ”
The Tian family does not have a top lintel, and he is very bullied in the village, Tian Yongkang wants to buy gardenias in the village, and the family does not sell him, he has to go to other villages to buy them.
However, these hardships Mrs. Tian didn't want to nag her daughter, lest she remember her mother's family.
After everyone pulled the routine for a while, Mrs. Tian remembered Bai Mengdie, who was cooking in the kitchen, and asked suspiciously, "Fluttershy, this kid really knows how to cook?" ”
Tian Chunfang said with a smile: "If you really know how to cook, Mom will put a hundred hearts." ”
Mrs. Ketian was still not at ease, so she went to the kitchen to take a look.
Bai Mengdie has already cooked stir-fried pork liver and green pepper pork belly, and is burning spicy fat sausages at the moment, and the kitchen is filled with a pungent spicy smell, which makes people cry in a second.
Bai Mengdie saw Mrs. Tian coming in, and said with tears in her eyes: "Grandma, go out quickly, it's too choking here!" ”
Mrs. Tian glanced at the two dishes on the stove, which looked quite good, but she didn't know if they were delicious.
She retreated, returned to the hall, and said to Tian Chunping: "You go and catch a big and tie it up, and let your sister take it away later." ”
Tian Chunfang hurriedly stopped: "Mom, don't catch chickens, keep them for the New Year and sell them for money." ”
Mrs. Tian said, "I didn't catch you to eat, I caught it for our Fluttershy to eat, what are you stopping me!" ”
When she said this, Tian Chunfang couldn't say anything more.
After more than an hour, Bai Mengdie finally made dinner, mainly because the dish of Dongpo pork knuckle was too time-consuming.
In addition to the ingredients brought by her mother and daughter, Bai Mengdie also made a dry fried beans and sauced eggplant with the existing ingredients in the Tian family's kitchen "according to local conditions", plus four meat dishes, a total of six dishes, enough for seven people to eat.
When the meal was put on the table, Tian Yongkang took out the courage to eat, carefully took a bite of the potato in the tamale, and immediately froze.
There was a storm in his heart, how could this fat guy who was not diligent and did not distinguish between grains and grains make the dishes so delicious, how could it be!
Bai Mengdie took a piece of pork belly and put it in her mouth, chewed it unhurriedly, squinted at him and said, "What? Is it hard to eat? Then you can eat rice. ”
Tian Laohan and the others have already tasted a bite of the dish made by Bai Mengdie, which is obviously so delicious that it explodes, but Tian Yongkang's kid has to put on an unpalatable expression, which is really infuriating.
