Chapter 15: Grandma

Shen Shiliu felt that there was nothing wrong with the liveliness at home, but what about this condition, there were a few thatched and muddy houses at home. Originally, the plan was for my grandmother to come and squeeze a room with the Zheng family, and my father and brother to share a room, but now there is a sister-in-law, should I let Shen Cuilian and the Zheng family squeeze them, or squeeze with her? She is so fat that her small bed is just enough for herself, and if there is another person, the bed will be ruined and fallen.

"The child in the family doesn't have to worry about it, his father can take care of it!" Shen Cuilian's expression was a little unnatural when she said this, and Shen Shiliu pondered that there was something wrong here.

Father Shen also saw that a married woman could say that it was okay to go back to her parents' house for a few days, but she couldn't say anything if she ran to her brother's sister-in-law's house to live without anything!

"Cuilian, is there something going on at home?" Father Shen asked, and Zheng pursed his lips and did not say anything.

Zheng's idea is very simple, it must be that his brother-in-law can't stand this lazy woman, what else can he do?

Shen Cuilian hurriedly waved her hand: "It's okay, it's really okay, I just miss my brother and sister-in-law and nephew and niece!" ”

Father Shen sighed and said, "After eating for a while, you can hurry home, your mother-in-law is coming today, and you won't have a place to live if you come again!" ”

When Zheng heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and quickly let his sister-in-law go!

"I'm not leaving, I'm just staying here for a few days, I'm afraid of something! I'll just squeeze it with the pomegranate! After Shen Cuilian finished speaking, she hurried to Shen Pomegranate House to see, dead or alive, she just didn't leave.

Zheng stepped forward and whispered to Father Shen, "There must be something!" ”

Father Shen also knew that something was wrong, and seeing that it was still early, he said to the Zheng family: "You will eat first in a while, and I will go to Xiayang Village to inquire." ”

Zheng nodded, it would be less upset to get this sister-in-law out of her earlier.

Xiayang Village is not far from Chaoxia Village, and half an hour back and forth is enough, Shen's father went without eating at noon, and when he came back, he was really hungry and angry, as soon as he arrived at the house, he pointed at Shen Cuilian and scolded: "You are really embarrassed!" ”

Shen Cuilian was nibbling on boiled corn, and when she saw Shen's father coming back, she scolded her, and she also knew that Shen's father had gone to Xiayang Village.

Shen Shiliu and Zheng were also inexplicable and stepped forward.

"Dad, what's the matter, I have something to say!" Zheng persuaded him, looking at Shen's father's appearance, Shen Cuilian seemed to have really done something wrong.

Shen Shimei brought a bowl of water, and after Shen's father drank it, he sat down and said, "You let her say it herself!" I'm so cold! ”

Shen Cuilian pursed her lips, and then said, "It's not my fault for this!" ”

"Not bad for you? The family surnamed Zhou had asked Mrs. Zhang to say before, either let a good son go to the house, or let a good girl marry, you are good, why don't you tell the truth when you tell people the matchmaker? Father Shen was so angry that he spoke in two tones.

Shen Shiliu was stunned, what Mrs. Zhang did before, it was really disgusting, and now she is still angry when she thinks about it. But listening to the meaning of Shen's father's words, which family surnamed Zhou has something to do with it? ”

Shen's father told him the news from Xiayang Village, Shen Cuilian herself is not a matchmaker, but she is too immoral to do this, a good girl said to the old disabled, if it weren't for the parents of later people to inquire about it, maybe this dowry would have passed, and finally let the family find the door and scold. The brother-in-law felt too embarrassed, so he slapped Shen Cuilian in the mouth, but Shen Cuilian lost her temper and said to leave, it is estimated that her mother did not dare to go back, so she came here.

When the Zheng family heard this, Shen Cuilian was really difficult to handle, she ran out by herself, and if her husband's family didn't come to pick her up, it would not be easy to go back. If Shen Cuilian doesn't leave, will it be possible to live forever?

Father Shen is still angry here, someone came to the door at the other end, and Zheng's mother-in-law came!

"Mother!" Zheng screamed and hurriedly went to pick it up, muttering in her heart that if it weren't for Shen Cuilian's, she would have gone to the entrance of the village to greet people!

"Grandma!" Shen Shiliu called people, and the family also went over to bring people in.

Liang is almost sixty years old this year, with half a hundred hair, and a smile on his face, although he is old, he still looks very tough.

"Pomegranate! It's so big! Look what Grandma has brought you! Liang touched Shen Pomegranate's head and put down the big bag he was carrying on his back, took out a bag of marzipan from it and stuffed it into Shen Pomegranate's hand.

"Thank you, Grandma!" Shen Shiliu said with a smile.

Zheng hurriedly passed, and Shen's father also passed, and said, "Mother-in-law, come here, carry so many things, I knew that I would pick up your old man today!" ”

Liang waved his hand: "This little thing doesn't weigh much, the old man is okay!" ”

Zheng smiled and helped his mother to enter the house, and he was fetching water to wipe his sweat and serving tea and water, which made Shen Cuilian outside feel delicious.

"I can really see that it's a kiss, I didn't see her entertain like this!"

Father Shen turned around, frowned and lowered his voice and said, "Shut up, as if you are willing to let you stay, your sister-in-law is still willing to keep you, otherwise I would have coaxed you out!" ”

Shen Cuilian pouted and stomped her feet, and finally sat down and sulked. Shen's father pondered that he had to discuss this matter with his brother-in-law, and if Shen Cuilian didn't go back, he might really get to the point of divorce from his wife.

Shen Pomegranate saw that her grandmother was coming, and it was not early, so she hurriedly lit the stove, and she had already boiled it out in a hurry to clean it up, so she could only use the small stove in the kitchen, fortunately, there were not many people, and the small stove was enough.

At first, the blanched mushrooms are first coated in egg mixture, and then coated with homemade powder. Pour oil into the pot, pour not much, dare not waste.

After the mushrooms are wrapped in starch, they are thrown into the oil pan and fried, and after the skin is fried until golden brown, they are fished out with a gedge, and then a large handful is put to continue to fry.

Shen Pomegranate changed the pot, scooped a small half spoonful of oil from the pot next to him, put shredded green onions and peppers, and sugar, and when he saw that the heat was almost over, he scooped two spoonfuls of vinegar into it, and the sour gas burst out at once, and Shen Pomegranate quickly poured the prepared sauce onto the fried mushrooms.

Liang heard the movement outside just as he came out, just in time to smell the acid in the air.

"Our pomegranates can cook!" Liang asked, a look of surprise.

"No, our pomegranates can work, whether it's kitchen work or hard work in the mountains, they can do it well, otherwise the pigs at home can't afford to raise them!" Zheng complimented.

Liang smiled: "Oh, it's really good, I will definitely be a good wife in the future!" ”

As soon as Liang's voice fell, Shen Cuilian said in a weird manner: "No matter how virtuous you are, you can't get married!" ”

Everyone was embarrassed, Shen Shiliu didn't hear it, Shen's father was anxious, and he was about to go up and count Shen Cuilian, but was stopped by the Zheng family.

The Zheng family is not protecting the sister-in-law, but his mother-in-law is still there, don't make a big fuss!

Father Shen is really angry, he will deal with it first, and when it dawns tomorrow, he will hurry to the neighboring village to find his brother-in-law and pick up Shen Cuilian!

"Grandma, you taste it first, do you like to eat it?" Shen Shimei took a bite of the "pot-wrapped mushrooms" he made with chopsticks and handed it to Liang's mouth.

After Liang ate it, she felt that the taste in her mouth was crispy and soft, and her appetite was not very good when she was old, but there was a sweet and sour taste in her mouth, which was sweet and easy to bite, and she was very appetizing when she took a bite.

"It's good, it's delicious, our pomegranates are really capable!" Liang was happy, Shen Shimei was specially taking care of her old man.

Shen Shimei smiled, and hurriedly continued to do it, the salted shrimp that had been pickled earlier was picked a big one, and after peeling the shell, he cooked a large bowl with garlic vermicelli, and the air was filled with salty fragrance, even Shen Cuilian licked her mouth and wiped her tongue, it was so fragrant!

Shen Shu also came back from the school at this time, and he also carried a piece of tofu in his hand, and after saying a few words to the Liang family and Shen Cuilian, he saw that Shen Shimei was busy, so he put the tofu in a basket and threw it directly into the well. When Shen Shimei was done, he fished out the bought tofu from the well, and in the morning, the fish that Shen Shu fished also came from the wooden basin and ate it alive.

"Grandma, sit down for a while, we'll be right away!" Shen Pomegranate said and put the cleaned fish into the bottom of the oil pan left over from the fried mushrooms just now, and the oil was not wasted at all.

Cut the tofu into cubes and boil it in boiling water to remove the brine and bean flavor.

Fry the fish on both sides, then pour water over it and boil it, and when the soup turns milky white, throw the processed tofu cubes into it. Cover the pot here, and bring the dishes to the table first, and when everyone finally sat down, the fish soup here was also out of the pot, and there were not many dishes on the table, but they also saw that Liang and Shen Cuilian were dumbfounded.

"I'm a good girl, our pomegranate is really capable!" Liang sighed, they have all seen these ingredients, but they have never seen Shen Pomegranate do it so exquisitely!

Shen Cuilian was already about to drool, and said: "I think these dishes are the same as those made in the big restaurant in the county seat!" "The restaurant in the county town is very expensive, and she is reluctant to burn money if she is allowed to eat!

Shen Shimei washed his face, washed the fumes and sat down.

"Grandma, eat it!" Shen Pomegranate said and gave Liang's vegetables, a table of dishes is estimated to be able to take into account the teeth and appetite of the elderly, Liang's should have no problem eating!

The Liang family ate happily, and every time they ate, they had to praise Shen Pomegranate, and the family had a happy meal.

After eating in the evening, Shen's father had no choice but to combine the two tables in the courtyard into a bed, Shen Cuilian said why not live on the table, and was finally scolded by Shen's father.

Shen Shimei counted the accounts in the evening, and there was a lot of income these days, and Shen Shu's other half of the tuition fee would be paid tomorrow.

After one night, in the morning, Zheng took two hundred and fifty yuan and asked Shen Shu to make up the tuition fee, a small bag of money, and watched the money bag bulging.

"Hey, second brother, I've really made money, I said how can our big tree go to the county seat to study!" Shen Cuilian's attitude also changed after seeing the money, and Shen's father really didn't want to deal with this sister.

"Let the big tree and pomegranate accompany you to the county seat to sell broth in a while, and I'll go to Xiayang Village!" Father Shen whispered to Zheng, Zheng nodded, if she could invite this sister-in-law away earlier, she would also save her worries!

"Mother-in-law, we'll be busy in a while, you and Cuilian will be at home first, and we can all come back at noon!" Father Shen said to the Liang family.

"Cheng, you're busy with yours!" Liang said that it is a good thing for everyone to work hard, and the daughter and son-in-law's family were also difficult before, she has always been thinking about it, and now she is also comfortable when she sees it prosperously.
