Chapter 13: A Dose of Luxury

Tian Zhiquan took his sons to continue to work in the fields, and after Zhang Chunhua returned home, he was helped on the kang by the little girl, with a soft quilt behind her back and a thin towel quilt on her body.

Tian Xiaoya carefully examined Zhang Chunhua's right ankle, the swelling had completely disappeared, and the red and hot skin before had returned to normal, and she poked the swollen place before, but Zhang Chunhua was not in pain at all.

"Old girl, get up quickly, my feet are dirty, don't rub your body dirty."

"Mom, if you don't feel pain, I'll wash you in a basin, you're my mom, I don't feel dirty."

"Old girl!" When Zhang Chunhua heard this, her eyes were red, it was better to raise a daughter, none of those bear sons would wash their feet.

Tian Xiaoya made a basin of foot-washing water and wanted to rub Zhang Chunhua's feet, but Zhang Chunhua didn't agree, she was reluctant to let the old girl do this, so she insisted that the old girl hurry up and go to her house to rest.

After Tian Xiaoya went out, she saw that her sister-in-law was scratched everywhere, so she simply asked her sister-in-law to rest, and asked her second sister-in-law to watch the child and roll up her sleeves to cook.

Hearing that Tian Xiaoya was going to cook, Yang Juan and Zhou Dongmei were all startled, where is the sister-in-law who works, not to mention that she has never done anything, even if they can't let the sister-in-law work, if the in-laws and husbands know, then they must not blame themselves.

It's a pity that neither of the two has been strong against Tian Xiaoya, Yang Juan was personally helped by her sister-in-law to rest on the kang, she was really tired after a day of tossing today, she closed her eyes and fell asleep after a while.

After Tian Xiaoya pushed Zhou Dongmei out of the kitchen, he looked at the food at home, in fact, almost all of the Tian family were strong laborers, Tian Aihua was still a regular employee of the county cannery, and his life was still good.

It's just that Tian Zhiquan's four sons, marrying a daughter-in-law will have a lot of money, plus there are two sons who are not married, both husband and wife are extremely frugal, and they have eaten coarse grains and pickles for many years.

I ate too hard, and now my body can endure it, and I definitely can't do it when I'm older.

Thinking of this, Tian Xiaoya took out five eggs from the cupboard, knocked them in the bowl and broke them, and looked at a few lines of bacon on the beams of the house, which were almost the amount of meat eaten by Lao Tian's family in a year, hanging on the beams on the roof of the stove, and were smoked black by the cooking smoke.

Tian Xiaoya thought about it for a while, picked up a piece of bacon with a bamboo pole, a black knife, she gestured, she wanted to cut the size of a fist, but when she thought of the large population of the Tian family and the children, she gritted her teeth and cut the palm of her hand.

It's not a double rush of time, the family eats porridge, but bacon is delicious with rice.

Forget it, the big head is out, is there still a little rice?

Tian Xiaoya doesn't do it endlessly, since she wants to eat a good meal, then eat a good meal, just eat rice.

Eggs fried green onions, the oil in the pot is hot, the beaten egg liquid is poured in, "stinging" sound, with the aroma permeating the iron pot, with Tian Xiaoya's spatula of the stir-fry, the eggs are golden yellow, and exude a unique fragrant taste, the oil is more, the scrambled eggs are extraordinarily loose, and they taste more fragrant.

Cut the green onion into sections, mix it with the eggs and stir-fry it in the pot, only add a little salty salt before coming out of the pot, it is a plate of delicious dishes, Tian Xiaoya can't help but sigh, the eggs, plus the wood stove, the fried green onion scrambled eggs, are more fragrant than any time they have fried before, and the onion and egg fragrance are mixed with pot gas.

Put the scrambled eggs on the side of the stove, simmer at the temperature and it won't be cold, Tian Xiaoya fried a vegetarian fried eggplant again, and then fried the salted radish strips that he ate on weekdays with hot oil, and added a few drops of sesame oil out of the pot, which completely removed the smell and water smell of pickled radish.

After a while, the rice was cooked, the bacon in the rice pot was also steamed, and the lid of the pot was lifted and a meaty aroma mixed with the smoky smell came to the face, Tian Xiaoya inserted the bacon with chopsticks, and after the meat was cooled, cut it into thin slices with a knife, the pork belly was smoked for several months, the fat part became crystal clear, the lean meat was red, and all the meat slices were shining like grease.

Bacon fried garlic sprouts are the most fragrant, but a large family, so the meat is not enough with garlic sprouts, she cut off all the garlic sprouts in the broken plastic pot in the yard, and cut several green peppers, with vegetables to fry, these vegetables are stained with fat, and gradually become soft and oily.

"It smells so good!"

The two children stood in the yard twitching their noses, the smell was more fragrant than the New Year, Zhou Dongmei was also surprised, she was afraid that her sister-in-law would burn the fire room, but this aroma was more fragrant than the dishes made during the New Year.

The sky gradually darkened, and the men working in the fields went home one after another, and after a busy day, they couldn't see clearly after the sky was dark, dragging their tired bodies home, eating a bowl of hot rice, and soothing the hard work of the day.

As soon as the men of the Tian family arrived at the gate of the courtyard, they collectively twitched their noses, and Tian Aimin shouted at the top of his voice: "Mom, what are you cooking?" ”

This voice woke up Zhang Chunhua, who had been sleeping all afternoon, and when she opened her eyes, she found that it was dark outside, so she panicked and put on her shoes and immediately went to the ground, and walked to the hall and was stunned.

There were a lot of vegetables and white rice on the table, and if you looked closely, eggs, bacon, and fragrant white rice, Zhang Chunhua almost carried it in one breath.

"Who told you to get these meals!"

Pointing to the two daughters-in-law standing at the table in a daze, Zhang Chunhua took a deep breath and was about to scold.

"Mommy!" Tian Xiaoya came out of the kitchen with the last two bowls of rice, and when she saw Zhang Chunhua's face, she knew that she must be angry, you must know that Zhang Chunhua was not only generous to the original owner, but also reluctant to drink a sip of sugar water when she was sick.

It's not that Zhang Chunhua picks, but that thrift is a traditional virtue in this era, Zhang Chunhua is a person who can live, and the two sons haven't said that they are daughters-in-law, so they naturally have to work hard and pull out the marriage money of the two sons from between their teeth.

"Mom, don't scold your sisters-in-law, I made all these meals."

"You?" Zhang Chunhua's eyes widened, "Xiaoya, don't favor them, Mom knows, you don't know how to cook." ”

"Mom, it's me who wants to eat meat. And you are getting old with your father, and you are sick again, so you need to eat something good to replenish your body, and besides, the children are growing up, so you should also eat better. ”

Seeing that Zhang Chunhua still had a black face like a pain, Tian Xiaoya stepped forward and hugged Zhang Chunhua's arm, learning from the coquettish appearance on TV, shaking Zhang Chunhua's arm, "Mom, I'm hungry, I want to eat scrambled eggs, I want to eat scrambled bacon." ”

"Forget it, Xiaoya has done everything, let's eat."

Tian Zhiquan came in from the courtyard, a table of good dishes, made him feel hungry instantly, he did everything, he just wanted to eat bacon and three bowls of rice at the moment.

"My old girl, if you want to eat, tell your mother, and your mother will make it for you. You've made a big table, what a waste, we don't have to eat these, we're in good health. ”

"Mom, this is my filial piety to you and my father, if you don't eat it, my daughter's heart will be cold."

After some coquettishness, Zhang Chunhua finally smiled, the whole family sat down to eat, the sound of talking at the dinner table in the past, today is not a sentence, only the sound of chopsticks and dishes colliding, and the sound of chewing.
