Zhulan knew who Li's voice was talking to, so she nodded and said: "This time I went to Beijing to take the exam, whether I can stay in the capital in the future depends on the results of the spring festival in charge, and I can't say for sure what will happen in the future." ”

Li's second aunt asked, "Isn't Chunfu next year, why do you leave this year?" ”

She really didn't know what Chunfu was, she just listened to what the head said, the eldest brother's in-laws became a lifter, and she had to be an official in the future when she participated in Chunqiu, so she knew what Chunfu was.

Zhulan explained: "There is a house in the capital, and we can go to the head of the house in advance to take care of our bodies and prepare for the spring festival, so as not to miss the spring festival next year when we are in a hurry and get sick." ”

The third aunt of the Li family grasped the point, "There is a house in the capital? ”

My dear, how much silver is the house in the capital worth? I was angry that my mother-in-law was partial to the big house, such a good family affair was given to the big house, and now it's okay, not only to rely on the big house to say good things to pull the relationship, but also to please the niece, and I feel uncomfortable when I think about it.

Li Xu's heart is pounding, her daughter's blessing is really great, maybe there will be a father-in-law who is an official in the future, hey, so I think that the Li family also has an official family!

Zhulan smiled, the men of the Li family are straightforward, the daughters-in-law are all shrewd, Zhulan doesn't hate the aunts of the Li family, there are many small calculations, but they will not step on the bottom line on the big picture, Zhulan admires the deceased Mrs. Li even more, the old lady must have spent a lot of effort to find a suitable daughter-in-law for her son, and the old lady is not easy.

Li also remembered that there was no food at home, so he came from the kitchen, "A few aunts are also here!" ”

Li's third aunt saw that the clothes on her niece's body were sour again, and she wore such good clothes for cooking, and then looked at the pearl hairpin on her head, oops, her heart was sour, and she had to smile on her face, "Yes, look, I also brought a lot of dishes!" ”

Li was thinking about going home to pick vegetables, "Thank you aunts, I just wanted to tell my mother to go home and pick vegetables!" ”

Zhulan smiled and said to the Li family: "I will stay for dinner today, and you can look at the food and weigh it." ”

The Li family sighed, there are a lot of people in the four rooms of the Li family, "Mother, do you want the child to eat too?" ”

She didn't see the children of the Li family, they should have stayed at home.

Zhulan's generosity is not only because of the door-to-door congratulations, but also because of the Li family's care of the house for most of the year, she took a cursory look all the way, there was no grass in the yard, and the tables and chairs were not gray at all, which shows how sincere the Li family's maiden family is.

In the future, even fewer of their families will come back, and the Zhou family will have to rely on the Li family to take care of the house and land, plus the wild things sent by the Li family, when Pingzhou City was closed, it really helped the Zhou family a lot, and this meal must be eaten.

When the city was closed, meat was the most scarce, and the Zhou family sent wild things to Xu Jinshi's family, the Wu family, and Zhao Bo, and the Zhou family in exchange for a lot of favors!

Zhulan smiled, "Come and eat." ”

Li Xu hurriedly said: "This can't be helped, it's embarrassing for us to stay." ”

How many children are in the Li family's rooms, she knows in her heart, if they all come to the Li family, they can sit down at five or six tables, and this meal is not a small eight table!

They had come to have a look, but they didn't expect to stay for dinner.

Zhulan pressed Li Xu's hand, "Let's eat when I'm happy today, let's be lively together, my mother-in-law doesn't need to say it anymore, everyone listens to me today." ”

After speaking, Zhulan said to Li: "It's not dark now, you and the boss said to buy some chickens and come back to kill them." ”

Coming back from Pingzhou, Zhulan bought more than 20 catties of sauce meat, and bought ten roast chickens, which were originally going to be half of the eldest daughter's family, but they all ate it today, and the one for the girl could only go to the county tomorrow to buy it.

Zhulan also brought back a lot of food, it seems that this dinner is going to be gone, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are also brought back from Pingzhou, and the meal is estimated to be gone, and it will be re-purchased in the county tomorrow.

Li Shi responded, "Mother, I went out with the dishes." ”

"Go ahead."

Li Shi had a lot of strength, and he went out without much effort with three baskets.

Li Shi weighed the dishes in his heart while walking, the three aunts brought a lot of dishes, not only the vegetables grown in the yard, but also mushrooms and fungus, it is not difficult to cook eight tables of dishes at night, and there are three ready-made dishes, which is actually quite easy.

A table of eight dishes, sauce meat, roast chicken, pork trotters in sauce, chicken stewed mushrooms, fried cabbage with fungus, scrambled eggs with chili, and stewed potatoes with beans.

Li carried the vegetable basket to the kitchen and came to Zhao's side, "Brother and sister, my mother asked me to buy chickens back, I am thinking about buying some eggs back, you can give me some silver!" ”

Zhao was brushing the dishes and chopsticks, put down the bowl in his hand, wiped his hands and untied the purse around him, "How many chickens does my sister-in-law want to buy, how many eggs do I want to buy?" ”

Li Shi folded his fat hand and calculated, "To make eight tables of dishes, it is enough to buy six chicken stewed mushrooms, buy a hundred eggs, and boil eggs for the children tomorrow for breakfast!" ”

Looking for something, he took out a tael of silver and said: "Sister-in-law, you see that Zhoujia Village is not far away, the butcher's family should still have meat, our family has a carriage, let the eldest brother go to Zhoujia Village to buy it and pick up the eldest sister's family by the way." ”

Li Shi accepted the money, "It's still thoughtful, okay, I'll talk to your eldest brother." ”

Dong interjected, "Sister-in-law, if you cook eight tables of dishes at night, is the staple food made first?" What is the staple sister-in-law going to do? ”

Li Shi thought about mixed flour steamed buns, cornmeal didn't bring back much, in Pingzhou cornmeal is either porridge or pasted cakes to change the taste, most of them eat white flour steamed buns and rice, well, after arriving in Pingzhou, the food of the Zhou family has risen sharply.

Li coughed, "Steamed steamed buns, the noodles we brought back are not enough, just let your eldest brother go to Zhoujia Village to exchange some back." ”

The Dong family is no longer silent, and the sister-in-law is confused, but she is the most knowledgeable about the kitchen.

Several sisters-in-law of the Li family on the side believed that the sister-in-law did not brag, the sister-in-law really said it, happy and envious at the same time!

Zhulan and Li Xu's chatted for a while, and the lady from Lijia Village came and brought some vegetables and eggs, knowing that Zhulan's family was afraid that there would be no vegetables to eat when they came back.

Zhulan didn't forget the vegetable garden in the house, she didn't entrust it to the Li family, she also had her own scruples, the Zhou family had already helped the Li family a lot, and the vegetable garden was forgotten, so Zhulan was always empty.

By the way, there are a few dogs that I bought at the beginning, which are still raised in the house, the Zhou family left food for a few dogs, the Li family took good care of the dogs, and a few big dogs are still very energetic, as for losing weight, it is inevitable that the Zhulan family can often have bones to eat in the dog, and the Zhulan family is gone, where is the Li family with bones for the dog, they can only eat the food left, and the dog will naturally lose weight if it is not meaty.

When the Zhulan family came back, they were happiest to have a few big dogs!

Half an hour later, Xuemei came with the child, and Zhulan learned that Boss Zhou went to Zhoujia Village to buy chickens and picked up Xuemei's family by the way.

Zhulan didn't pay attention to Xuemei's belly last time she came back, this time Xuemei was wearing a thick one, Zhulan looked at Xuemei's belly, "Why is your belly so big?" ”
