Of course, in front of such a shrewd person as Ma Yinghua, Zhou Lanxiang couldn't treat others as fools, she lowered her head a little ashamedly: "Sister Ma, in fact, this also complains that I am too greedy, I am thinking that you are here today, you can support me, let my mother-in-law give us some more food, Manhoard is injured, my body is not good, and I can't starve like before......"

When she said it, Ma Yinghua's heart didn't mind at all.

Of course, she could see that Zhou Lanxiang wanted her to support her and ask her mother-in-law for food, but this was also as it should be, Mrs. Wang took away more than half of the rations of the two of them every year, and Zhou Lanxiang was hungry and miscarried twice! This time, both of them are not in good health, shouldn't the father and mother take out some food to nourish and replenish?

Besides, Zhou Lanxiang didn't ask for more than one thing in a row, as long as a bucket of coarse grain, it was really not too much. She went to weigh them the grain that day, and she saw all the grain in the old Wang's warehouse, and she couldn't starve the two of them.

Besides, Zhou Lanxiang really gave her a long face today, not only did all the leaders of the commune look down on her, but even the leaders of the county remembered her, so she rushed to this, she should help this poor and awake little daughter-in-law more!

Ma Yinghua came today to thank Zhou Lanxiang in disguise, thinking about solving some more difficulties for her in the future, and there will be a chance soon: "Lanxiang, don't be stupid!" Your production team will have to be able to distribute the food for a few days, right? You don't want food, what are you two sick people to eat? ”

When people talk partially, they don't feel unreasonable, Zhou Lanxiang has the fine grain of the previous day in her hand, even if she can eat it alone, she can't finish it alone. As long as there is some left, and then mixed with potatoes and sweet potatoes, it will definitely be enough to make do with the production team's grain, and this bucket of coarse grain is really not necessary.

But Ma Yinghua is now thinking about it from Zhou Lanxiang's point of view, and she just thinks that there is nothing wrong with her!

"If your mother-in-law wants to serve, let her serve, your little confinement is also a confinement, you can rest for a few more days! That's her own son, and she can't starve your man no matter how she is! ”

Zhou Lanxiang wiped her eyes and agreed in a muffled voice: "Sister Ma, thank you, my heart is much brighter when you say this." When the production team has distributed the grain, I will let him come back, and he will still take care of himself with peace of mind. She has to say this now, if she is a person who is not at ease living with a man, Ma Yinghua will not stand on her side even if she wants to thank her.

The events of her previous life made her see too clearly, and everyone sympathized with her now, that is because she is a woman who keeps to herself and lives a good life, if she tosses and divorces, no one will definitely be so towards her anymore.

How much she has suffered and how many sins she has suffered, no one cares except Xiaoshan and Han Jin, what everyone cares about is the set of standards in their hearts, if she dares to cross the line, it is wrong, and even a sinner, not only did no one speak for her in the past, but she would even be considered deserved. Who made her a woman who doesn't live well with men!

Sure enough, the smile on Ma Yinghua's face became more sincere when she heard her say this: "In the future, you can call me Sister Yinghua!" I'm in love with you, let's not be so outside! ”

Zhou Lanxiang was a little embarrassed, but she still shouted happily: "Sister Yinghua!" ”

The two chatted a few more words, and Zhou Lanxiang talked about the purpose of going to her today: "I will distribute the food in a few days, I am thinking about going to talk to Sister Yinghua for an idea, I think that day in front of everyone to give all the filial piety to the upper room, in the future, I am optimistic about the full hoarding, not to say a little, I can always let him move less to the upper room." ”

"In the past few days, I have told a few daughters-in-law in Tunzi who have a good relationship, and they also have this meaning, or everyone is privately giving to the elderly, and there is no charter for how much, and in the end they always quarrel. Some old people are still lonely, today to take a little tomorrow, when the time comes, no one can say, and finally quarrel with the mother-in-law and fight without saying, the man also complains that the daughter-in-law is not sensible and does not know how to honor his father. ”

"But not everyone agrees with this, the daughter-in-law of the second pillar is unwilling, last year she just dragged on and never gave her in-laws pension food, and her mother-in-law didn't ask for enough to find the captain." Not all mothers-in-law are strong, like the daughter-in-law of the second pillar, they just don't give it, and in the end, the in-laws find the captain to find the cadres of the brigade, and the matter may not be solved satisfactorily.

The more Zhou Lanxiang said that Ma Yinghua's eyes were brighter, this is really a good idea!

In the countryside, where there are family conflicts, almost all of them are related to women, especially the issue of pension, she doesn't know how many families to adjust for this pension money in a year, but it is difficult for the Qing officials to cut off the housework, and in the end it is thankless, and if the trouble is big, it may also be troubled to the commune, so that the commune leaders criticize them for their poor work, that is really bad!

Zhou Lanxiang's idea is so good! Now everyone has no money, the pension is mainly for food, if the food is given directly in front of everyone on the day of the distribution, each family gives the same, no one can make trouble in the future, whether it is a bad mother-in-law or a bad daughter-in-law, they have to be honest, even if there is a family conflict, they are easy to adjust!

The more Ma Yinghua looked at Zhou Lanxiang, the more she liked it, this little daughter-in-law knew who was good to her, and her brain was awake, it was really rare: "Lanxiang, you have a good idea, I think it's very feasible!" I'll talk to your captain later, and let him come forward to support you!" ”

I can't say too much, but Ma Yinghua has already planned in his heart, it's too late this year, the Red Flag Brigade has already had several production teams finish distributing grain, and these two production teams will be piloted in Mopantun, and it will be promoted to the whole team next year!

Ma Yinghua comforted Zhou Lanxiang again, telling her not to worry, let Wang Manchu live with her mother-in-law, she took good care of herself, and as for the matter of pension food, she went to tell the captain.

Ma Yinghua left in a hurry, and Zhou Lanxiang was completely relieved. Today's work was done smoothly!

The report letter was sent out, double insurance, Zhang Zhumao will definitely not be able to run, and he will have to be guarded soon, don't think about going anywhere. If he doesn't die, there will be no such case at all, and there will be no Han Jin to blame.

Wang Manchu won't come back for the time being, she can plan the divorce slowly, but she doesn't want to see this man at a glance! You must not live in the same house with him again! Before the divorce, she would find a way to let him live in the upper house forever.

Ma Yinghua also happily took over the matter of distributing food to the elderly, and with her coming forward, it must be many times more effective than Zhou Lanxiang going to tell the captain. At that time, she doesn't care what happens to Wang Manho, at least this year she has to keep her rations.

The more I thought about it, the happier I became, Zhou Lanxiang saw that it was already dark outside, Xiaoshan said that I was going to a good classmate after school today, and I might eat there, Han Jin hadn't come back yet, and the production team organized strong laborers to go into the mountains to chop firewood every year to drive a few carriages to a big day, and then come back when the cars were full, and it would be good to get home not in the middle of the night.

Both of them must have come to her to see her, and they must have been hungry.

Zhou Lanxiang hurriedly went to the ground, the two little ones were too nervous these days, and they didn't let her do any housework, and they brought her the washing water to the kang, she was really too careful.

Zhou Lanxiang washed her hands while boiling water, the two children must be cold and hungry when they came back, she wanted to make something hot today.

In the evening, Xiaoshan came back first, and the child ran in panting, and pounced directly in front of Zhou Lanxiang: "Sister, have you eaten?" If the kang is cold, I'll go burn it immediately! ”

Zhou Lanxiang grabbed him and let him roast his hands on the stove first: "Don't worry, I'll eat." The chicken soup you left in the morning is enough for me to drink for a day, and you still hide two white flour steamed buns in the pot! You were asked to bring it for lunch on the day of the exam, right? Not next time! How can I take the exam well if I don't eat enough? ”

Xiaoshan grinned, his big eyes shining: "Sister, have you eaten then?" ”

Zhou Lanxiang's eyes were hot, and she rubbed his yellow hair: "Eat, I won't eat it in vain (waste) your mind?" ”

Saying that, he went to the ground to cook noodles for him, the soup had already been boiled, and it was boiled over high heat with the skeleton of pheasant and rabbit and simmered slowly, it was thick and white and mellow, and as soon as the pot was boiled, Xiaoshan took a deep breath: "It's so fragrant!" Sister! As soon as I entered the house, I smelled it, and I wondered how I could make such a fragrant chicken soup, it turned out that I didn't keep it! ”

Zhou Lanxiang also laughed, asked him to add firewood to the stove pit, and she began to roll out the dough sheets.

Put salt and eggs in the noodles, roll out the dough sheet is thin and tough, cut wide, put it in the pot and boil it to boil, sprinkle some shredded cabbage before coming out of the pot, the mellow aroma of noodles and bone broth with the sweetness and refreshing taste of vegetables, not to mention the fragrance!

The fragrant bone broth, the thin and firm noodles, the unique grain aroma of the new wheat noodles, and the crisp shredded cabbage, Xiaoshan is already hungry and can't take his eyes off it.

Zhou Lanxiang picked up two large pieces of golden and soft cornmeal cake from the black tile basin next to her, which she made with cornmeal mixed with white flour, and put a little white sugar in it, which was fragrant and sweet, and it bounced back immediately after pinching the outer skin, and it was soft and chewy at a glance!

Xiaoshan was led by Xiang'er and followed his sister into the house like a puppy, looked at the big bowl of fragrant and hot boiled noodles in front of him and swallowed his saliva: "Sister, have you eaten?" Did you leave it for Brother Jin? ”

Zhou Lanxiang stuffed the chopsticks into his hand: "I ate it, Xiaojin also has it, these are all yours, eat it while it's hot." ”

Xiaoshan couldn't help but take two gulps of soup before he suppressed his hunger, and his brain returned to normal operation: "Sister, why did you cook on the ground?" What if you touch cold water and get sick?! The wound on your leg has just grown, and it will be possible to crack it open again! Fine grain can't be wasted, it has to be left for you to nourish later! I'm not going to eat it, so I'll leave it to you to eat slowly later......"

Zhou Lanxiang stuffed the hair cake into his mouth, blocked the chatter of the little mill, and got up and went to the kitchen to get a bowl of chili flakes mixed with cabbage slices, the chili peppers are fresh chili peppers harvested in late autumn, stored under the thatch, and taken out to freeze in winter, and when they are eaten, they are thawed and are about the same as fresh chili peppers.

Although there are few seasonings, there is a crisp and refreshing taste of cabbage in the salty and spicy, and it is served with hot noodle soup and fragrant and sweet cornmeal cake, not to mention more appetizing!

Xiaoshan devoured it, and after eating, he couldn't move on the hot kang: "Sister, it's so delicious!" I don't think I've ever eaten such a delicious meal in half my life! ”

Zhou Lanxiang looked at this fourteen-year-old little guy, it was not half a lifetime, since she got engaged to Grandpa Han seven years ago and took Han Jin away, she herself has never eaten enough, and she has never had a chance to cook food for Xiaoshan.

When Xiaoshan himself was full, he waited for Han Jin with great interest, wanting to see him as hungry as himself.

But Han Jin only came back from the mountain in the second half of the night, for fear of affecting Zhou Lanxiang's sleep, he didn't come at all, and came over early the next morning before work, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Zhou Lanxiang rolling out dough on the board, as if he didn't smell the warm fragrance of the bone broth in the house at all, his face suddenly changed, and his gloomy and cold gaze frightened Xiaoshan subconsciously took a step back.

Han Jin took a deep breath and suppressed the irritation that suddenly surged in his heart, although he knew intellectually that Xiaoshan would not deliberately tire Xiangxiang, it was likely that Xiangxiang himself was going to work in the field, or asked Xiaoshan in a deep voice: "Who let Xiangxiang work in the field?" Why don't you persuade her to do it? ”

In his heart, even people all over the world are wrong, and Xiangxiang can't be wrong.
