Cao's mood was comfortable, and he actually hummed a small tune when cooking, and his brother and sister's got goosebumps when they heard it.

Because of the delay in tearing up with Widow Zhang, Cao's didn't have time to go to the vegetable field to pick vegetables, so he picked up the two lettuce left at home.

The tender lettuce leaves are used to make green vegetable soup, and the lettuce stalks are stir-fried, and the eggs that are usually reluctant to eat are knocked several times in a row, and the pickles in the jar are fried into a large plate.

Tao Tianbao smelled the aroma and came into the stove room, saw the pickled vegetables and scrambled eggs that had just come out of the pot, and stretched out his paws to grab them.

Pomegranate Hua lit the fire in front of the stove, saw Tao Tianbao's movements, and reprimanded: "Have you washed your paws?" How do we eat the dishes you caught? ”

Tao Tianbao is used to being at home, how can he be afraid of pomegranate flowers, grabbed an egg from the bowl and stuffed it in his mouth, and said vaguely: "It's best if you don't eat it, I can catch more food." ”

Pomegranate felt nauseous, turned her head away from looking at Tao Tianbao, and reminded herself that she would never eat that plate of scrambled eggs for a while.

When Cao Shi saw it, he said to the pomegranate flower in an unprecedentedly good voice: "Mother will fry a poached egg for you alone." ”

Pomegranate looked at Cao in shock, in the usual situation, it would be good if Cao didn't scold her for bullying her brother, where would there be such treatment for her? It seems that today's fight was not in vain for her to fight.

Seeing that the pomegranate was staring at her, Cao Shi probably guessed the girl's thoughts, her face was a little unnatural, and she turned around to get the eggs.

Tao Tianbao shouted that he also wanted to eat poached eggs, but Cao didn't rely on him this time.

The meal was served on the table, Tao Yougui also came back, washed his hands and came to the table to sit down, and the family began to eat.

Tao Tianbao sat opposite the pomegranate flower, looking at the fried poached eggs in the third sister's bowl, his cheeks bulging.

Pomegranate pretended not to see it, picked up the poached egg and took a bite, and then deliberately raised her eyebrows at Tao Tianbao.

Tao Tianbao was so angry that he threw away the chopsticks, threw himself into Tao Yougui's arms, and shook his father vigorously, "Dad, I want to eat meat, our family hasn't eaten meat for a long time, can you go to the second sister's house in the town tomorrow to get meat back." ”

Pomegranate almost laughed and sneered: "The water spilled by the married girl, do you understand?" When the second sister's man's shop is opened for you, you can take it. ”

"Why can't you take it? Before the second sister got married, her man didn't often send meat to our home to eat. Tao Tianbao didn't believe the words of the third sister, he wanted to eat meat, and the second sister would definitely not give it.

Pomegranate looked at Tao Tianbao, who was accustomed to being an idiot by her father, and couldn't help but roll her eyes, "Do you also know that before the second sister got married, have you ever seen hunters go to the mountains to put bait after the prey is successful?" ”

Tao Tianbao's eyes were confused.

Cao Shi and Tao Yougui glanced at each other, and they both felt that what the pomegranate said made some sense.

The second daughter Xinghua married Xu Pingchang, the son of the Xu butcher in the town in the winter last year, Xu Pingchang came to the house every three or five days before getting married. After getting married, the young couple has not been to the door for three months except for a trip to the door and the first month of the New Year.

This meal Tao Yougui and his wife ate a little tasteless, and Tao Tianbao ate more than half of the scrambled eggs.

In the afternoon, Pomegranate Flower went to the next yard, and by the way, he asked Tao for advice on the technique of raising flowers and plants, and the two got along very happily.

The day goes by in a blink of an eye.

The next morning, Pomegranate Flower was cleaning the chicken coop in the yard, Tao Tianbao and Tao Xinghua, who had not returned to her parents' house for a long time, came in hand in hand, and Xu Pingchang, the man of Xinghua, followed behind, carrying a lot of things with his hands.

"What did I say yesterday, I want to eat meat, and the second sister will definitely give it. You see, it's coming to me today. As soon as Tao Tianbao entered the door, he jumped in front of the pomegranate flower and proudly showed off.

He was playing at the entrance of the village, and when he saw the second sister and her family bringing a lot of good things, he threw down his friends and went home with apricot blossoms.

"Go aside." Pomegranate Hua stretched out her hand to put Tao Tianbao aside, put down the shovel and greeted Xinghua and the two of them: "Second sister, second brother-in-law, you are here!" Yesterday, my mother was still talking about you not coming for a long time. ”

Xinghua is three years older than Pomegranate Flower, and she loves her younger siblings very much, and she rushes to do the work at home, and Pomegranate Blossom likes this sister very much.

"When you get married, you can no longer be as casual as when you were a girl, you have to learn to take care of a lot of things in the family, and you will naturally understand when you get married in the future." Xinghua came over and took Pomegranate Flower's hand and walked into the house, not treating herself as a guest at all.

Xu Pingchang followed into the house and put the things in his hand on the table, there was a pig's head, two pork legs and half of the lard, and a few packets of snacks.

Tao Tianbao hurriedly lay on the side of the table and guarded, as if he was afraid that others would snatch the meat away.

"Little sister, what about my father-in-law and mother-in-law?" Xu Pingchang put his things and sat down, and when he saw that Tao Yougui and Cao were not there, he asked.

"Daddy and Mom went to plough the ground and grow vegetables." After answering the pomegranate flower, she poured water for the two of Xinghua, and at the same time supported Tao Tianbao: "Tianbao, you go to the vegetable field to call your father and mother back, and tell them that the second sister and the two are here." ”

"Why don't you shout?" Tao Tianbao pursed his lips, his eyes stared at the pig's leg and refused to move his feet.

"I'll shout, are you here to greet the second sister and the second brother-in-law?" Pomegranate glared at Tao Tianbao.

Tao Tianbao probably saw that he had meat to eat today, so he didn't quarrel with the pomegranate flower anymore, and went a little reluctantly, and didn't forget to look back at the things on the table when he got to the door.

Xinghua walked and walked thirsty, and after drinking the water poured by the pomegranate flower, she poured another cup herself.

Pomegranate Blossom sat down next to Xinghua, took Xinghua's arm and asked, "Second sister, it's not a New Year's festival today, what are you and your second brother-in-law doing with so many gifts?" ”

The apricot blossoms were red on the ground, and the teacup was put down, squeaking for a while, but he didn't say why.

Liuhua looked dazed, but saw Xu Pingchang and said happily: "Your sister was diagnosed with a happy pulse two days ago, and today my father and mother sent us to report the good news to my father-in-law and mother-in-law." ”

I haven't been back to my parents' house for so long, it turns out that the little couple is busy making people!

Pomegranate blossom suddenly realized.

Xinghua blushed and looked at her toes, pomegranate smiled snickeringly, and said with concern: "Sister, why do you still run so far when you have a body, in case the child in your belly has a mistake, it will be bad, you will let your brother-in-law come alone!" ”

Taojia Village is more than ten miles away from the town, and it is really tiring to walk over two mountain beams in the middle.

Xinghua raised her head and said nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of walking this way after only two months, how can I be so squeamish, I used to carry the burden to the town." ”

"Yes, yes, I just saw your sister carrying a burden passing by in front of my shop, so I took a second look, and this look was in love, begging my father to ask someone around, and then ask the matchmaker to come to the door to kiss, hehe......" Xu Pingchang took the words on the side.

Xinghua was embarrassed again, glared at Xu Pingchang, and said angrily: "Little sister is still young, what are you talking about in front of her!" ”

"My little sister will be thirteen next month, and she can set a family, where is she still young." Xu Pingchang refuted Xinghua very unkindly, and said to Pomegranate Flower: "Little sister, do you want your brother-in-law to help you pay attention to a wishful man in the town?" Most of the descendants in the town are familiar with me, the boy of the He family in the pastry shop, the boy of the Li family in the grocery store, and the boy of the Cai family in the soy sauce shop are all good, and the age is also suitable for you. ”

Belch...... me well!

The pomegranate blossom blinked a few times, and was thinking about the words to reject Xu Pingchang's kindness, and the apricot blossom had already jumped up.

"You still say, you still say, how can your mouth owe it so much." Xinghua pinched the man's arm hard, scolding while pinching.

"It hurts, it hurts, good lady, I was wrong, don't be angry, beware of hurting the baby in your belly." Xu Pingchang cried out in pain, dodging and begging for mercy.

This dog food came too suddenly!

Pomegranate looked at the pair of little people who were playing with flower guns, and wrote a big word of contempt in her heart.

Fortunately, Xinghua knew that she was married to a wife, and she was afraid of her little sister's presence.

Later, Tao Yougui and his wife came back with Tao Tianbao, who was running errands, and the family suddenly became lively.

Knowing that Xinghua was pregnant, Cao's loud voice never stopped, explaining this and that, and under the urging of Tao Yougui, he went to the stove with Pomegranate to cook.

The pig's head and pork leg are not very easy to deal with, after scalding with boiling water, they are scraped and washed and then burned with fire, and it takes half a day to clean up, and when all the meals are on the table, other families have already finished eating and are flossing their teeth.

Although Cao's temperament is splashy, the meals are well done, such as marinated pig's head meat, cold salad ear shreds, braised pig's feet, bone broth, looking at the color and smelling make people quite appetizing.

Tao Yougui brought two small wine cups and a pot of wine on the table, and said happily: "Come, Pyeongchang, happy today, let's drink some." ”。

"Father-in-law, I have a shallow amount of alcohol, and I have to go back with Xinghua in a while, I'm afraid I won't be able to walk if I drink too much, so don't drink it!" Xu Pingchang refused.

"What are you going back, I haven't been here for so long, why do you have to stay overnight and then leave, Xinghua is now pregnant with a baby, I can't let her rest?" Tao Yougui poured two small wine cups, and couldn't help but put a glass in front of Xu Pingchang.

Xu Pingchang thought about it, too, Xinghua is now pregnant, and she will definitely be tired of walking dozens of miles of mountain roads a day, so he picked up the wine cup and said, "Okay, father-in-law, everything is up to your arrangement, I will toast you first." ”

"That's right!" Tao Yougui happily picked up the wine cup and clinked glasses with his son-in-law.

"I'll kill another chicken at night." Cao said on the side.

Tao Tianbao had already eaten it, and when he heard about the chicken, he swallowed the meat in his mouth and cheered: "Okay, there are chicken legs to eat at night!" ”

"Eat, you know how to eat." Pomegranate glared at Tao Tianbao, and said angrily: "The second sister hasn't moved the chopsticks yet, but you eat first, and you are usually asked to work faster than a rabbit." ”

Xinghua and Pomegranate sat together, and persuaded Pomegranate with a smile, "Tianbao is still young, what are you doing with him all the time, work and wait for him to grow up!" ”

Tao Tianbao saw that the second sister also helped him speak, and he became even more angry, picked a piece of good meat and stuffed it into his mouth, and then raised his eyebrows proudly at the pomegranate flower.

He glanced at the pomegranate blossom white, put a piece of lean pig's head meat in the apricot blossom bowl, and said, "Sister, you are pregnant, eat more." ”

Xinghua looked at the meat slices in the bowl, shook her head and said: "Xu is because I am pregnant with my first child, and I have been very happy and harmful in just two months, and I will be sick to my stomach when I eat greasy things." ”

Pomegranate Hua looked at the dishes on the table, only one fried small rape was vegetarian, and Cao's fried it with lard to be green and oily, and there were some lard oil residues in it.

Xinghua looked at the lard residue in the dish, and couldn't get off the chopsticks, so she asked Cao's: "Mother, do you still have sour radish and sour cowpeas at home, I want to eat something sour now." ”

"Yes, you wait, I'll get it." Cao put down his chopsticks and went to the stove room.

Tao Yougui and Xu Pingchang Weng's son-in-law persuaded each other to drink, and the chat was so lively, Tao Tianbao ate meat by himself, where did he care if his second sister ate it, only Pomegranate saw that Xinghua had no appetite, and she also put down her chopsticks to accompany her.

Not long after, Cao came in with a bowl of pickled radish and cowpeas.

Xinghua smelled the sour smell and suddenly smiled, and as soon as Cao put the bowl on the table, she couldn't wait to put a piece of sour radish into her mouth, as if it was some kind of delicious food.

"Is it really that delicious?" Seeing that the apricot blossoms were eating with relish, the pomegranate blossom muttered in her heart that she would also eat a piece of sour radish, but her teeth were sour.

The radish was soaked by Cao's at the beginning of winter last year, and after a few months, the sour taste can be imagined.

Kimchi is not nutritious and high in salt, so pregnant women should not eat more. Pomegranate thought that the woman in her previous life had been supplementing folic acid since she was preparing for pregnancy, and she thought that she should find an opportunity to persuade Xinghua to eat more vegetables.
