Chapter 9: Resourcefulness
"Mother," Wang was a little entangled, "how much food does this need?" ”
She was a little puzzled why her mother-in-law always felt that their days were as bitter as Coptis chinensis.
Obviously, their life is already quite good.
Three meals a day can be mixed with water, and there is no need to work in the field, and many little daughters-in-law in the village are envious.
Wang once again affirmed that her mother-in-law really treated them as daughters, otherwise, which mother-in-law would be afraid that her daughter-in-law would be wronged like her.
No, my mother is better than my mother, my mother cooks dumplings, and I will only give myself one or two tastes, and she can't say it in her mother's life.
Jiang Nuan didn't know that there was so much drama in Wang's heart, and when he heard the words, he opened his mouth to reassure, "Don't worry, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and there will always be a way to solve it." ”
"Sister-in-law, there will be nothing wrong with my mother's words," Xie was in a very happy mood, "We can earn it if we don't have any money, what are we afraid of." ”
Turning his head, he looked at Jiang Nuan doggedly, and said sweetly, "Mother, you go to the hall to rest first, and your daughter-in-law will go to cook." ”
"Don't, I'm with you," Jiang Nuan refused, "The three of them cook faster, and the chicken hasn't been cleaned up, I'll help you faster." ”
The two daughters-in-law were busy all morning and had to cook, and Jiang Nuan felt that she had no face and didn't help.
Anyway, it's almost time to rest for so long.
"Mother, just rest, we'll do these things." Wang softly refused, she didn't dare to let her mother-in-law work.
My mother-in-law is not in good health, and it will be difficult to deal with it when she is sick.
"Don't make a noise, that's all." Jiang Nuan refused to go into the kitchen.
Seeing this, Xie Shi hurriedly spoke, "Sister-in-law, you clean up the chickens, and I and my mother will be in the kitchen." ”
She can do the work in the kitchen by herself, so she doesn't want her sister-in-law to be in the middle and affect her relationship with her mother.
After saying this, regardless of Wang's reaction, Xie went to the kitchen in a hurry.
In the kitchen, Jiang Nuan was a little at a loss, although she could use an earthen stove to cook, she didn't know where to put these things.
"Mother~" Xie Shi rushed in, "Mother is sitting on the stool, I'll meet first." ”
"Then I'll chop the stuffing." Jiang Nuan answered.
"No, it's too tiring to chop stuffing, just watch me chop." Pressed Jiang Nuan to the stool without saying anything, Xie rolled up his sleeves and began to work.
She was used to doing work and arranged things in an orderly manner, Jiang Nuan couldn't intervene at all, so she had to sit on the low stool in front of the stove bored.
Wang saw her boredom, and talked while working, "Mother, the conscription is about to be apportioned again, will our family still use silver to redeem?" ”
"In previous years, silver was used, but this year is the same." Jiang Nuan said this, with a little scheming, she didn't know how to deal with it before, she could only say such specious words.
Xie Shi didn't doubt it, and said a little melancholy, "It's really distressing to have to pay two taels of silver again." ”
So, Jiang Nuan knew that the Huang family had two taels of silver to resist the conscription.
Praise her wit, she squeezed out a reluctance on her face, "This is also a helpless thing, the conscription is heavy and costs people's lives, and their brothers are not strong, and their lives are gone, what's the use of keeping money." ”
"It's still my mother's vision, those men in the village are not as visionary as my mother's woman," after blowing a wave of rainbow farts, Xie Shi said angrily, "Our family spends money every year to resist forced labor, and many people see jokes, and when they really die, some of those people regret it." ”
Jiang Nuan thought deeply, "Yes, no matter how important money is, no one is important, the family is healthy and sound, and the life is hard." ”
Although she didn't know how heavy the conscription was, she lacked medical care and couldn't eat enough in this era, so she also knew that the conscription was not so easy to take.
"Mother's words are reasonable, just like our family, the bitterness is a little bitter, and we are happy every day." Xie Shi said, the movements of his hands became more and more neat, and he soon kneaded the dough into a ball, and then began to chop the filling.
The two chatted with each other, and when Xie Shi almost finished chopping the stuffing, Huang Xiaowu and they came back.
Before she entered the hospital, she rushed inside and shouted, "Mother, I'm back." ”
Then, he trotted into the hospital.
"Little five, my mother is in the kitchen." Jiang Nuan was afraid that she would not find anyone to speak out.
"Mother, I dug up a lot of wild vegetables today and pulled out a few bamboo shoots." Xiao Wu ran to the kitchen, looking like he was begging for praise.
Jiang Nuan didn't disappoint her either, "Mother's little five is awesome, she can work at such a young age, go wash your hands first, and cook dumplings to eat today." ”
"Dumplings?" Hearing these two words, Xiao Wu's saliva was about to flow out, and his excited eyes seemed to melt into the stars, full of streamers, "Mother, our family eats dumplings today?" ”
"yes, isn't that fun?" Jiang Nuan rubbed her little fluffy head, "Your brother can't come back at noon, let's eat dumplings, and wait for chicken and fish in the evening." ”
Slippery!
These words made the corners of Xiao Wu's mouth flow out of a shiny liquid.
Seeing Jiang Nuan's smiling eyes, she wiped her saliva with a red face, and asked coquettishly, "Mother, what day is today, why do you eat so well?" ”
"It's not a day, the reward for you, are you happy?"
"Happy, so happy." Jiang Nuan's coaxing words, Xiao Wutian really believed it, and laughed like a second fool.
At this time, Huang Xiaosi also came to the kitchen.
"Little Wu, you're coquettish to your mother again!" The poignant tone is like a husband who catches his wife cheating.
"Slightly ......" Xiao Wu made a clever grimace, "Fourth brother, you are jealous of my mother's good relationship with me." ”
After Xiao Wu finished speaking, he rubbed Jiang Nuan's arm provocatively.
This incident made Jiang Nuan cry and laugh.
What should I do if my child competes for favor? She doesn't know how to handle it at all.
Helping his forehead, Jiang Nuan, who had a headache, spoke, "Little Four, don't make trouble, go wash your hands and come over to help make dumplings." ”
She didn't know how to coax people, so she simply turned her son's attention to the side.
Sure enough, hearing this, Huang Xiaosi's eyes lit green, "Mother, our family eats dumplings today?" ”
"Yes, your second sister-in-law can't be busy alone, so if you want to eat early, you can come to help."
"I'll wash my hands and make dumplings." Huang Xiaosi rushed outside, and returned to the kitchen with his undried hands in the blink of an eye.
The family worked together, and in a short time, they made dumplings with two curtains, and there were more than 300 of them.
After cooking the dumplings, Xie Shi first filled the bowl full of two seas, Jiang Nuan thought that she had left it for her two sons who went out, and did not interfere.
"Mother, let's send these dumplings to my grandparents."
I can stay alone with my mother again, Meizizi, Xie's face smiled.
"Grandparents?" Jiang Nuan stiffened for a moment, and immediately reacted, "Okay, let Xiaosi go with you." ”
She is not ready to meet her in-laws, Jiang is not ready to meet her in-laws, Jiang is used to being domineering at home, she may not be able to please her in-laws, she is a little nervous.
"But," Xie looked at Jiang Nuan suspiciously, "I usually sent it to my mother." ”
"That's okay," Jiang Nuan nodded resignedly, "I'll go with you." ”
