After shopping, the mule cart was full of people, and there were no more people.

Xie Wang's family asked Xie Ping'an to transport things to Zhuangzi, and his family hired a donkey cart at the carriage and horse shop next to the city gate, spent thirty yuan, and did not go home, and directly sent his own group of women and children to Zhuangzi.

I bought a bunch of things, and I was busy for a long time, and the time was only half over.

When they arrived at Zhuangzi, Xie Ping'an had not yet arrived, so Xie Wang and Hui Niang hurriedly took the children out of the car and sent the donkey cart back.

The workers were still working in the basement, and the only sound in the kitchen of the West Wing was the clanging of Lin and Qiu Niang washing and chopping vegetables.

It's all their own family, and they are not polite, Xie Wang also hurried into the kitchen to work, Hui Niang vacated a large wooden basin, wrapped the sleeping Sheng Lin'er and put it in, and put it not far from the stove, taking advantage of the residual heat in the stove.

Where is the farmer who has the ability to pamper the child, sometimes go to the field to do farm work, just stretch a straw mat on the field, put the child up and let him play by himself. After doing some work and coming back, common ants and insects have crawled into the child's mouth, and the adults are very distressed, but what can be done?

"Ying'er, Lian'er, you two look at Sheng Lin'er!" Hui Niang called the sisters.

"Mother, why do you always ask us to watch the children, what is Xuanxuan doing?" Li Lian has another opinion.

"Don't let me lecture you! You can do whatever you want to do, and you have learned to talk back to me! Hui Niang's face tightened, what Li Lian had done in the past few days really made her a little annoyed: "You don't know how to be the second sister, just let your sister go, these days, you want to go back to your grandmother's house and say it as soon as possible!" ”

Li Lian stiffened her neck and didn't speak, and was pulled away by Li Ying.

Qiu Niang also called Zhou Qin, "Qin'er, look at your brother, don't let him run around!" He who ran into the wilderness called the wolf to go! ”

Zhou Qin also hurriedly responded.

Left Xie Xuan, she consciously followed the adults and helped out.

"Grandma, what are we going to cook today?" Xie Xuan asked.

"I don't need to go through any dishes, in winter, get them a few plates of meat and vegetables to drink, and then make a pot of stew, boil a pot of egg soup, with steamed buns, and eat it hot." Xie Wang said, "With this kind of food, people are not as rich as our family!" ”

"I think it's okay, I like to eat grandma's stew! Last year's Dragon Boat Festival, grandma did it once, and I like to eat meatballs inside! Xie Xuan recalled it and praised it.

Braised vegetables are the home-cooked dishes of Zhangde Mansion, which is to boil red and white meatballs, vegetable balls, cabbage, tofu, pork, bean curd, fungus, mushrooms and other vegetables and meat in a big pot, and all kinds of flavors are gathered into one pot, and the people of Zhangde Mansion like to eat.

It is more hearty, and there are a few slices of braised pork on top of the stew, which is eaten with steamed buns, which is the most satisfying and delicious, and if you come to a bowl of egg soup to fill the seams in your stomach, it will be even more beautiful.

Because there are many kinds of vegetables and meat in the stew, and there are a lot of meat and oil, ordinary farmers only cook it once for the festival, and Ping Suli does not dare to eat it like this, it is too wasteful.

"Yo, it's been so long, Xuanxuan still remembers! Sure enough, it's a little gluttonous cat! Xie Wang couldn't help but laugh and said, "Grandma will make more meatballs today, so that you can eat enough." ”

While he was talking, Ping An arrived with a mule cart, moved his things into the kitchen, rested for a while, and went to the back house to take a look.

"Why don't you buy some things, and spend a lot of money!" Qiu Niang saw that there was something in the kitchen and smacked her tongue.

"Today is different from the past, don't spend money when you should spend, and when the time comes, people will say that you are stingy!" Xie Wang said.

"Mother, is there enough time, there are many people, how can we provide for it?" Qiu Niang is an anxious child, and the cutting board is banging.

"Why can't you provide it, you're in a hurry. Let's boil a pot of noodle soup at noon, sift a few eggs into it, and eat it with pickles. In the afternoon, the banquet is the big one! It's long enough for us to do it. Xie Wang's disgusted look at the vegetables cut by Qiu Niang, "Look at the vegetables you cut, some are thick and some are fine, can't you be careful?" Always frizzy! ”

Lin and Hui Niang laughed together, and Lin said: "She was like this when she was at home, she got married and gave birth to two children, where can she change it?" Fortunately, my uncle's temperament is calm, if he is also a hurry, the two of them will fight against Mai Mang, and the day will be wonderful! ”

"I am the hundred-year-old pine tree, the plantain in May - I have always been used to thick branches and leaves, and I can't change it!" Qiu Niang said with a smile.

"That's right, my uncle is the wind of the four seasons, Rao is your thick branches, and you have to follow him!" Lin made fun of his sister-in-law.

Everyone laughed together, Rao is Qiu Niang's heart was big, and her cheeks couldn't help but turn red, and she got up and patted Lin's family.

After laughing once, Lin said with a smile: "In the morning, we went to Zhuangzi, and my father announced to the big guys that everyone should eat casually at noon, and keep their stomachs to finish early in the afternoon to eat. I see that my father has arranged it properly, and the big guys will be happy when the time comes, and they will all have to rush to come when they recruit workers in the future! ”

Xie Xuan also said: "It's good to rush to come, our family will have more time to hire workers in the future!" ”

"Then inherit Xuanxuan's auspicious words, so that our family will be more prosperous in the future!" Xie Wang's smiling eyes narrowed into slits.

Just as everyone was busy working and laughing, they saw a head poking into the kitchen door.

"Chun'er, you don't work hard, what are you doing in the kitchen?" When Lin saw it, his face was not as happy as before, and he asked him out loud.

Probably seeing a room of people in the kitchen, Lin Chun rolled his eyes and said with a hippie smile: "Aunt, I'm thirsty, come and ask for a bowl of hot water to drink." ”

Lin softened his face somewhat, and was about to speak, when Xie Wang smiled and said, "Hongmei, the sugar I just bought in the county seat, in that small jar, you make a bowl of sugar water for Chun'er to drink!" ”

Xie Wang is an elder, Lin Chun is a guest of her daughter-in-law's maiden family, and she is a junior, so she should be more enthusiastic no matter what.

Lin said, "Mother, he is an adult, and he is not a child, what kind of sugar water do you drink?" I'll just scoop him up with a bowl of cooked water to drink. ”

Lin Chun's eyes were rolling, and he couldn't stop looking in the kitchen, and when he saw the pile of things that Ping An had unloaded just now, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but say: "Auntie, milk, I don't have a taste in my mouth, just drink a bowl of sugar water!" You're busy, I'll fetch the ...... myself."

Xie Xuan hurriedly stood up, grabbed the front of Lin Chun, and said with a smile: "Brother Chun, you have been busy for a long time, and this house is messy, you can't find it!" Let me do it! ”

Lin Chun stood a little unwillingly, his eyes kept staring at Xie Xuan turning over things.

Turning out the jar of sugar, Xie Xuan scooped a large spoonful of boiling water with a spoon, stirred it well, handed it to Lin Chun, and knocked on the side: "Brother Chun, are you going to drink water alone?" Why don't you see my Brother Lin Zhu coming? ”

Lin Chun pretended not to understand, and only said: "I didn't eat enough in the morning, so I came to ask for water to drink!" Your brother Zhu is probably full! He turned his head and asked Lin, "Aunt, is there anything delicious, I'm hungry!" ”

Xie Wang hurriedly said: "The meat we just bought is raw, why don't you make a bowl of shredded meat noodles for you!" ”

"Good! Good! Lin Chun's eyes lit up when he listened, and he replied in a loud voice.

"What kind of shredded meat noodles do you eat? It's been less than an hour since breakfast! The younger generation of the mother's family acted like this in front of his aunt, which made the Lin family feel very shameless, so he had to show his majesty as an aunt, and reprimanded him with a stiff face: "I'll give you a banquet in the future, we are busy here without touching the ground, where can we have the kung fu to make shredded meat noodles for you?" You drink water and go to work, whatever you want to eat, you have everything at the banquet later! ”

Lin Chun drank the sugar water in one go, put the bowl on the stove heavily, and left unhappy.

Lin's face was flushed, and he was secretly angry that his nephew didn't give him any face in front of his aunt.

"Hongmei, he is a young child, and he never grew up beside you, don't be like him......" Xie Wang saw that his eldest daughter-in-law was angry and ashamed, and couldn't help but persuade.

"That's it, sister-in-law, it's not a big deal, don't take it to heart!" Hui Niang also persuaded.

"When you eat later, tell his father and uncle, and ask his elders to teach him a lesson!" Qiu Niang snapped and put the kitchen knife on the cutting board, "It's so big, who is still making that face in front of the elders?" ”

"You kid, it's better to have more than less, aren't you looking for trouble." Xie Wang's couldn't help but say Qiu Niang, because she was the nephew of her daughter-in-law, she thought about calming things down, and it was also the meaning of giving her daughter-in-law face.

Under everyone's explanation, Lin felt less uncomfortable.
