Xiao Zhi's enthusiasm and Xiao Lian's diligence made An Lan very impressed, she was a sick seedling in the eyes of outsiders, so she didn't "hold on", closed the chicken coop neatly, handed the struggling chicken in her hand to Xiao Zhi, and said: "After a while, put these three chickens in the pot and cook a pot of chicken soup, so that everyone who works can drink fresh and delicious soup, the chicken doesn't need to be chopped, just throw it down, and wait for the chicken soup to boil, and then take out the chicken and cut it for free." ”

When An Lan talked about boiling chicken soup, Xiao Lian was greedy.

She has the most no status in the family, unlike the second daughter-in-law who will stammer, and the food is the worst, even if there is a good one, Xiao Lian keeps it for the girl to eat, and would rather be hungry than see the girl starving.

There was fresh chicken soup at this time, and Xiao Lian thought of her daughter who was still helping to grow peanuts in the field.

"When I went back, the second brother and sister-in-law called a few children from the family over for lunch together." An Lan knew that chicken soup was rare.

The second child squatted down, his hands and feet were sharper than An Lan, the knife slashed through the chicken's neck, and the trachea was cut with a knife, and blood splattered all over the ground.

"Then what's the matter, everyone who eats today is helping, so don't come over and join in the fun." Xiao Zhi shook his head.

Xiao Lian nodded, feeling that what the second brother said was reasonable: "The sister-in-law who is kind to my brother and sister understands it, so don't go back and call the child over at this time, so as not to ......"

Speaking of this, Xiao Lian couldn't hide her bitterness, but she didn't continue.

"Third brother and sister, sister-in-law will go to the stove to make a fire first, and it will be good to boil chicken soup for a while."

"I'll bring my sister-in-law over."

……

Guan Liu went for a quarter of an hour and came back with Widow Zhao, carrying two catties of rice and half a catty of white flour in his hand.

Widow Zhao carried a straw basket with sweet potato leaves, lettuce, tomatoes, bitter gourd, and cowpeas.

followed Guan Liu into the house and put the dishes in the house.

Guan Liu returned the copper coin to An Lan intact, told An Lan that Widow Zhao didn't ask him for a penny, and went to the vegetable garden to pick a lot of vegetables.

An Lan stuffed the copper money to Widow Zhao, but Widow Zhao directly refused, telling An Lan that she gave herself nine acres of land, and it was nothing to give two catties of rice and some vegetables, and then took out the vegetables and went outside to pick vegetables.

After the big guy finished moving his things, he sat in the open space in front of the door drinking water and chatting.

The conversation is nothing more than Xiao Rui's grandmother, Xiao Rui's stepmother, Xiao Rui's useless father, Xiao Rui's family, and Xiao Rui's poor mother.

As she chatted, she heard a very informative past.

Xiao Rui's mother is a young lady from a rich family, and she eloped with his father, and his father's leg was not injured by hunting, but was disabled by his mother's father!

But such a sensitive topic was pressed back by Widow Zhao.

These pasts, I'm afraid that Xiao Rui doesn't want to mention them, and it's not easy for her to run over to inquire about Xiao Rui's mother.

……

At noon, I made fried eggs with tomatoes, fried hare meat with cowpeas, and by the way, the remaining wild meat was stuffy, the white-cut chicken, and the green vegetables brought by Widow Zhao were all fried, and the white noodles were used to make steamed buns.

At this time, four or five of the men who went to the mountains to carry wood returned.

An Lan walked over and asked, "Is my husband behind?" ”

The young man replied politely: "Sister-in-law, Brother Xiao Rui is still on the mountain, we just carried some wood down, he told you not to wait for her, he will not come back until the next day." ”

"Then a few people down now."

"Eight people, three more in the back, three more on the mountain."

"Okay, you eat first and then go up the mountain, and I'll bring some food with you up the mountain to give the three of them food."
