Chapter 313: Visiting the City
Zhou Shuilian put her hand on the side, and the rice was already stuffy, Mu Xiu poured the prepared marinade into the pot, and put the pig's head, pig's feet, pig's belly and more than 30 catties of pork belly into the pot to make braised meat.
After Mu Xiu put out the rice, blood sausage and cabbage and pig blood, he fried a fish-flavored shredded pork, and then beckoned everyone to eat.
"Brother Chen, you can set aside a little bit of the dishes and send them to Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen next door." Mu Xiu said to Chen Xuhui.
Chen Xuhui nodded, took a big bowl, put all the dishes in, filled two bowls of rice, and sent the rice.
As soon as Zhou Shuilian and Mu Xiu brought the food to the hall, Chen Xuhui came back.
"Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen have been thanking each other, the two of them look much better, and Aunt Chen has much more strength when she speaks." Chen Xuhui sat down, picked up the rice, and took the initiative to speak.
"People say it's a blessing to never leave home, and they're really pitiful." Zhou Shuilian sighed, and then said: "Mu Xiu, after dinner, you accompany me to the county seat, let's go to see your aunt." ”
"During the time when I was hospitalized in the county, I was busy and didn't have time, and the child didn't go to see it for a hundred days, and now it's eight months, just in time to kill the pig, so much meat we can't eat, take some meat and go over to see."
"Okay, mother." Mu Xiu stuffed the pig's blood with chopsticks in his mouth, and his eyes narrowed with satisfaction, this taste is so fragrant,
"I'll catch the car with you." Chen Xuhui said.
Because Xiaohua and Pandi were cold, coughing, and afraid that the illness would be too bad for the two little babies, Mu Xiaocao stayed at home and watched the two children.
After eating, Chen Xuhui went to set up an ox cart, and Zhou Shuilian picked up a few clothes that Mu Xiu brought back from the provincial capital Lu's house last time and packed them up.
"Mother, you are reluctant to wear these clothes." Mu Xiaocao couldn't help but say.
"We are in the countryside, all the good clothes are ruined, your aunt is in the county seat, and she is dressed just right." While Zhou Shuilian was talking, she took out another sweater and stuffed it into her baggage.
On Mu Xiu's side, he cut 20 catties of pork belly, picked up 100 eggs, two bottles of sesame oil, two salted fish, and five catties of dried mushroom fungus.
"Brother Chen, you bring the 100 catties of salted fish and 20 catties of soy sauce that you collected last time, and let's send them to the proprietress by the way." Mu Xiu said.
When all the things were packed up and the entire ox cart was full, Chen Xuhui drove the ox cart and the three of them rushed to the county seat.
After swaying for almost two hours, and finally arrived at the county seat, Mu Xiu and the others went to the hotel first, and sent the salted fish and soy sauce over, the proprietress Liu Xuenu paid one hundred and thirty yuan, Mu Xiu directly took out one hundred and handed it to Zhou Shuilian, and said, "Mother, you can take it to my aunt in a while." ”
"We've all taken so many things, and we won't give money." Zhou Shuilian shook her hand and refused, and then said: "We still owe so much money outside, we can't spend money so lavishly." ”
Mu Xiu thought about it and put the money away, Zhou Shuilian was right to do this, she couldn't spoil her relatives, she felt that it was too easy to take things from them.
Although Mu Xiu had only been to Zhou Dujuan's house once, she had already made a note of how to go, and under her command, Chen Xuhui drove the ox cart downstairs.
"Brother Chen, you drive the ox cart to the side of the road and wait for us." Mu Xiu said to Chen Xuhui.
Chen Xuhui nodded and took all the things off the car.
Zhou Shuilian and Mu Xiu carried the basket on their backs, carried large bags of things upstairs and knocked on the door.
"Sister, why are you here, come in." Song Shunli opened the door, saw the people outside the door, was stunned for a moment, and then turned sideways to get out of the way.
"I killed the pigs this morning, so I thought I'd send you some while they were fresh." Zhou Shuilian said with a smile.
Walking in the door, the things in the house were stacked in a mess, Sun Yufeng was sitting there with a straight face, and Zhou Dujuan was feeding the child neatly.
The two children were side by side on the chair, Zhou Dujuan squatted, holding a bowl in his left hand and a spoon in his right hand, a child on the left fed a mouthful, and a child on the right fed a mouthful.
"Eldest sister, Mu Xiu, you sit down first, and I'll feed it right away." When Zhou Dujuan heard that her sister and niece were coming, she turned her head and said a word, and continued to feed.
"Come on, I'll feed you." Zhou Shuilian put down her things and was about to walk over.
"Shuilian, it's not easy for you to come here, sit down and rest for a while, you see the cuckoo, she doesn't have to work in the field and don't have to go to work to make money, and she is busy with a child at home." Sun Yufeng said dissatisfiedly.
"Auntie, everyone is a child on weekdays, and they can just be busy, two children are much more difficult to bring than one child." Zhou Shuilian looked at Zhou Dujuan distressedly,
"Eldest sister, I'm busy coming here, you and Mu Xiu will rest first." Zhou Dujuan continued without looking back, it seems that she has become accustomed to Sun Yufeng's attitude.
"Auntie, you put these things away first." Zhou Shuilian said helplessly.
"You said that you guys came here and brought so many things, it's really polite." Sun Yufeng finally stood up reluctantly, looked at the pile of things on the ground, and said polite words on his lips, with a greedy look on his face.
Last time, the things that Zhou Shuilian brought over could make her family improve their lives for a while.
"Auntie, these two children look alike, they are so good-looking, I want to feed them." Mu Xiu leaned over and took the bowl in Zhou Dujuan's hand, looking curious.
Sun Yufeng's eyes glanced over, and when he saw Mu Xiu's excited appearance, he finally didn't say anything unpleasant.
Mu Xiu fed the two children in a good way, Zhou Dujuan watched Mu Xiu's skillful movements, and knew that Mu Xiu also took care of Xiaohua on weekdays and had experience, so she stood up, rubbed her waist, and walked towards Zhou Shuilian.
"I see you're tired and you've lost a lot of weight." Zhou Shuilian took Zhou Dujuan's hand distressedly.
Zhou Dujuan now looks thinner than before he had children, his clothes are loose and hanging on his body, his hair is not only messy, but also greasy, his face is covered with big dark circles, and his face is waxy.
Although Zhou Shuilian is a few years older than Zhou Dujuan, Zhou Shuilian is now recuperating well, and she is getting more and more proud, and her spirit is very good.
"Both children have to feed, feed this and feed that, put down this and hug that, and get up more than a dozen times a night, the third is weaker than the second, I was cold some time ago, and my little face was red when I coughed in the middle of the night, and I stayed up for several nights." Zhou Dujuan saw his sister and couldn't help but confide.
