Hearing this, Liu Jun realized that the 'widow' was referring to himself, a piglet? Dropping up to the waistband? Sister-in-law Osmanthus's kindness was distorted into ulterior motives?

Pressing the urge to jump out and tear up that stinky mouth, Liu Jun quietly retreated, if he really wanted to do that, Sister-in-law Osmanthus might really have a mouth that couldn't be explained.

There will be some particularly annoying people in every village and town, long-tongued women, shrews refer to this kind of people, they don't have much ability, but their ability to gossip is first-class, and the things that are obviously shadowless can make them catch the wind and make a series of gossip, and they also say it 800 times in the streets and alleys, and the fake can also be said to be true.

The voice of the stinky mouth is one of the best, Zhu Liu's, everyone calls her pig behind her back, in fact, her mouth is more stinky than the pig that slipped through the, and she is spicy, quite unreasonable, and she can block the door and scold for a day when she makes trouble, and the scolding is known to the whole village, and the chickens and dogs are restless.

Such a person has not been torn apart, purely because there is a strong mother's family, the Liu family is one of the top landlords in the vicinity, one of the most powerful, dozens of slaves, thousands of tenants, there are several storefronts in the county, and the patriarch often goes in and out of the county government to drink and talk with the county.

For the Liu family, who are used to being domineering, Zhu Liu's is bullied and face-saving, and it is impossible not to get out, plus she has a pungent temperament, so that no one dares to provoke her.

However, this Zhu Liu has a weakness, that is, she can't have children, and she hasn't given birth to a son and a half daughter so far, and everyone scolds her behind her back for 'hens that don't lay eggs' or something, but don't let her hear it, otherwise she can block your door and scold for half a year.

Although Liu Niang has never been blocked by her, she is often targeted, because Liu Niang gave birth to ten children in a row, and some people gossip behind her back, and they will definitely be compared together.

Such a shrew, Liu Jun doesn't want to provoke for the time being, it seems that Sister-in-law Osmanthus's kindness can only be accepted for the time being, and when she looks back, she will wait for herself to stand firm, and then tear up this stinky mouth.

It just so happened that I was still thinking about an adequate source of protein last night, and today the soybeans were delivered to my door.

Protein is roughly divided into three types, vegetable protein, animal protein, heterogeneous protein, soybean is a good source of plant protein, especially good for women, boiled into soy milk two cups a day, Feng brother whitening.

If you're a man, it's better to get protein from red meat, and when you think of braised beef and roast lamb skewers, Yoo Jun is full of relish.

When I got home, I was about to make a fire to boil water, but when I got home, the fire had been lit, and two thin and small figures were busy in front of the stove, skillfully lighting the firewood, and laboriously looking at the pot from the bucket.

The two little guys are Liu Niang's twin daughters, the eldest girl and the second girl, without a name, the vast majority of women in this era will not have their own name, only a nickname.

For example, Liu Niang, who is called a girl in her mother's house, is called Liu Yatou outside, and is called Liu Niang when she gets married.

The eldest girl and the second girl are eight years old this year, and since two years ago, they have begun to help Liu Niang with the affairs of the family, lighting fires, boiling water, washing and cooking, and taking care of younger brothers.

Seeing the two unkempt little girls, Liu Jun was heartbroken and relieved, he felt very big yesterday when he thought of taking care of ten children, he was still a medical student who had never been in love in his previous life, but he became the mother of ten children in a blink of an eye.

God, just thinking about ten children around him, one person said a word, Liu Jun felt like he was going crazy, and couldn't help but come up with some terrible thoughts: Why don't you sell it, it's not illegal to sell children in this era.

But now it seems that these children may not be a burden, but a help, in this era, what is a more solid backing than their own children?

Thinking of this, Liu Jun raised his voice and shouted: "Li Youwei, the eldest and the second, come here." ”

Li Youwei was washing his face, the eldest and the second child poked their heads out of the west wing, and when they saw that it was really their mother calling them, they hurriedly ran out, their bare feet flying.

Liu Jun looked super uncomfortable, he didn't even have shoes, it's so pitiful, it's okay to be warm, what can I do when it's cold?

Frostbite or necrosis is a big problem in this era, and cold and fever can be fatal, and Liu Niang's memory has many scenes of children dying.

"Mother, did you call us?" The boss stared at them with wide eyes and asked curiously, usually in the morning, the mother will only call them when they eat, is the meal ready?

The eldest is ten years old this year, in ancient times, the virtual age is counted as twelve, and in two or three years, he will be able to tie his hair, count as a nominal adult, and he can get married and have children, and pass on the lineage.

But in front of me is a small child, who looks thin because of insufficient nutrition.

Such a child, Liu Jun's previous era did not allow him to do manual work, but he had been working in the pottery cellar for two years, and the second child was also asked to work last year, and Li Youwei worked for seven years.

Don't look at a few of them lean and lean, the work is not light, and none of the work in the pottery cellar is easy.

Liu Jun sighed secretly, heartache and helplessness, no one can live easily in this era, including children, if you don't work, you won't have anything to eat, such as now.

Although there was some heartache, Liu Jun still asked the three of them to take out the stone mortar and measure about a pound of soybeans for them to crush. If they don't help, they rely on Liu Jun and the eldest girl and the second girl, and don't want to have breakfast until noon.

The eldest and second looked at each other, but did not move.

"What's wrong?" Liu Jun asked.

The boss asked weakly: "Dad is dead, why are you boiling beans?" "Usually soybeans, meat and other rare things, only Li Dashi can eat, people are dead, who is cooking it for?

He didn't have the concept of eating this thing by himself in his heart, and there was no sadness in his tone, as if 'Dad is dead' was no different from going out, but there was a vague relief.

It's not that he is wolf-hearted and ungrateful, but because Li Dashi didn't fulfill his father's responsibilities and called his children as slaves at all, his father may be more hated by these children than the bullies in the village.

This is a good phenomenon for Liu Junzhi, at least there will be no children who will be born because of Li Dashi's death.

Smiling slightly, Liu Jun said: "Cook it for you to eat, and my mother will cook soy milk and baked bean cakes for you to eat." "This 'mother's self-proclaimed name makes him uncomfortable.

The eldest and second blinked violently, looking incredulous: "Really? ”

"Really." Liu Jun nodded affirmatively.

"It's so good, there are bean cakes to eat Luo." The eldest and second jumped up excitedly, and the wind swept to the corner and dragged out of the stone mortar. For children of their age, eating and playing are the two biggest things in life.

The stone mortar is a stone grain crushing device, and most of the crops grown in the field are shelled, and they must be crushed and husked before they can be eaten.

There is also a larger stone mill in the village, when there is a lot of food, you can borrow the stone mill to use, but you must pay a usage fee, such as the shell taken off, to be handed over to the village for a part of the public property, feed the cows, feed the horses and feed the chickens, the use is more.

But the poor are willing to give their shells, and would rather live their own lives at home. But to cook for thirteen people, Usuya alone has to be half an hour smaller, and half a day has passed to make a meal.

Liu Jun went back to the room, cut off a piece of unused fabric, washed it, put it in water to boil, and then fished it out for later use.

Re-boil the water, boil the powdered soybeans into a pot and boil them into milky white soy milk, cover the pot with a boiled cloth, pour the boiled soy milk on it, and filter out the okara.

At this time, the soy milk can be drunk with a little salt, of course, it is better to add sugar, but unfortunately there is not, sugar is something that rich and noble people can't afford to eat, and it is just maltose, the white sugar in Liu Jun's memory, there is no one in this era.

Despite this, the children were still very happy to drink, the thick soy milk dripping at the corners of their mouths, and they would stick out their little tongues around them, and they were not willing to waste a drop.

The rest of the bean dregs and willows are not wasted, add a little salt and flour, knead into a small ball, and fry in oil.

Looking at Liu Jun's boldness, the eldest girl and the second girl were frightened, and they looked 'The days are over?' Looking at Liu Jun's hand, there was always an urge to rush over and grab the oil bottle.

You know, oil is also a very expensive thing in this era, as can be seen from the fact that people call windfalls or income 'oil and water'.

Liu Jun doesn't care, isn't it just oil, although it is a bit expensive, but you can still buy it with money, the main thing is that the bean dregs cake is difficult to eat without oil, and there will be a fishy smell of beans.

The cake can only be simply put a little green onion, ginger shreds and salt, Liu Jun is not used to eating, but for the sake of nutrition, he still forcibly ate two cakes and a cup of soy milk.

As for the children, it was even more joyful than the Chinese New Year, and the golden fried bean dregs cake mixed with the aroma of wheat noodles and the smell of high protein induced by the high temperature were so delicious that their tongues swallowed it.

A pound of dried beans is ground and the remaining bean dregs are mixed with a pound of flour, which can only fry about 20 cakes, which is not enough for everyone to eat openly, but Liu Jun is deliberate, and sure enough, not long after eating breakfast, Li Youwei and the third child and the eldest girl have diarrhea.

Just as milk can make people lactose intolerant, plant protein is not digestible by everyone, and people who are not suitable for eating plant protein will have diarrhea at the light level, and will have allergic rashes, eczema, sweat rashes, and rashes.

It seems that Li Youwei, the third child and the third girl, will have to find other ways to supplement protein in the future.

Liu Jun rubbed his head in distress, this is not an easy task, forget it, let's find a way to make money first, there is no money, let alone protein, I can't even afford to eat oil.

"Youwei, eldest and second, you take me to see the pottery cellar at home." Liu Jun said.

"Okay, mother." The satisfied boss jumped out to respond immediately, and immediately asked curiously: "Why do you call Li Da 'promising'?" ”

Liu Jun glanced at Li Youwei, he happened to turn his head as well, his eyes collided in the air, Li Youwei's gaze was very steady, and he didn't feel flustered.

Liu Jun said with a smile: "When Li is old, he should have his own name, so my mother named him Li Youwei, and you will call him 'Brother Youwei' in the future." ”

In essence, Liu Jun is unruly in doing this, she is a woman, what qualifications does she have to name a man? But who let the adult man in the family be gone, she is now the head of the family.

The children are too young to understand these rules, and the boss even shouted: "Mother, mother, I'm old, you can name me too." ”

"Absolutely." Liu Jun naturally does not object, the children do not have names now, first, they are too young, and secondly, they are afraid of costing money.

Li Dashi doesn't know a few big characters, and he has no culture, and the most he can name is a big tree and a small tree, a prosperous wealth and a small fish, etc., if you want to give a proper name, you have to spend money to invite a showman or fortune teller in the township, Li Dashi is not happy to spend this money.

It's inconvenient to have no name, and it's not good to call, Liu Jun is happy to change it, and such a trivial matter as a name can't be difficult for her, so she simply changed it together.

"Boss, your name is Fu Yi, Li Fuyi, the second, your name is Li Minzhu, the third, your name is Li Wenmin, and the fourth Li and ......." turned his head and said to the big girl and the little girl: "The big girl is called Li Shu, and the second girl is called Li Shu." ”

The eldest girl and the second girl clapped their palms excitedly, the name, she actually has a name, and the playmates of the same age have nothing, as for what Shu and the concubine mean, they don't care.

The children were all immersed in the joy of getting a new name, and only Li Youwei looked at Liu Jun in surprise, because he didn't know that Liu Jun knew so many words.

Under the guidance of Li Youwei and the eldest and second eldest son of Li Fujiang, who changed his name to Li Fujiang, Liu Jun and his entourage walked to their own pottery cellar, the pottery cellar is on the hillside behind the house, Li Dashi likes to climb up from the back of the house, Liu Ke has no ability to climb, so he can only go around the village entrance through the front door.

On the way, I met the villagers and greeted each other, but Liu Jun found that everyone looked at her strangely, and after walking away, she could still faintly hear their whispers.

Forget one or two, everyone is like this, Liu Jun couldn't help but stop a person with a better memory relationship to inquire, and when he inquired, he suddenly exploded, and there was a rumor in the village that the stupid son of Osmanthus sister-in-law's family had taken a fancy to her, a new widow, and was about to come to the door to propose, and she even accepted the dowry.
