Chapter 49: She's Not in a Hurry
"Didn't you say that your family won't kill pigs this year? Why did you change your mind again? Mei Zhiqing's daughter-in-law asked She Yufen with a smile while helping to add firewood to the stove.
She Yufen also smiled, "Isn't this what my Yali wants to eat?" Ever since I went to your house to eat a pig-killing dish, this kid has been completely worried about it. In the past two days since she came back, she has been grinding me and your second brother every day, asking us to kill pigs for her to eat. ”
Mei Zhiqing's daughter-in-law laughed when she heard this, "You guys are too used to children." If the child wants to eat, you will kill her and eat it. ”
She Yufen glanced at the East House with a doting look - Mei Yali was looking at Mei Hongwen on the East House Kang at the moment, "My Yali is like a little adult, and I feel distressed." You said she wanted to eat a pig-killing dish, how could I bear not to give it to her? ”
Mei Zhizeng's daughter-in-law suddenly looked envious, "It's not good!" You Yali are more sensible than my Juanzi! My Juanzi is six years older than her! You see her and my family Hongjie, and the two sisters of the two heads will fight in three days. ”
Mei Zhiqing's daughter-in-law helped her eldest niece to fight the grievances, "Why do you just say Juanzi?" Hongjie is not small. He's naughty at his age, and he's so smart, you and my eldest brother don't always argue with him, but don't spoil a good child. ”
Hearing others praise his son for being smart, Mei Zhizeng's daughter-in-law suddenly smiled.
She wanted to be modest, but her tone was full of pride that she couldn't suppress, "He is a villain, how can he see whether he is smart or not." I don't expect him to have any great success, as long as he can study a secondary school and learn a craft, don't be like me and your eldest brother, just dig in the soil for a lifetime. ”
How could She Yufen and Mei Zhiqing's daughter-in-law not hear the pride in her tone?
The two followed her words, and made persistent efforts to praise Mei Hongjie, until the mouths of Mei Zhizeng's daughter-in-law couldn't close.
Mei Yali in the east room couldn't help but laugh secretly when she heard it.
Her relatives, what they were thinking in their hearts, were still so simple and easy to understand, that people could see through their clumsy disguises at a glance.
However, they are still very cute.
After a while, Mei Zhijun walked into the stove room and took a big basin out.
This large basin is specially used to catch pig blood.
Fresh pig blood is mixed with soba noodles and other accessories, and then poured with cleaned pig intestines, and finally put in a large iron pot and cooked with dried cabbage and pork.
In her previous life, Mei Yali's favorite food included pig-killing vegetables and pig blood sausages, but unfortunately, since she left her hometown, she has never tasted the two flavors she remembers.
The desire of a lifetime completely hooked her gluttony.
As soon as the pig-killing vegetables and pig blood sausages in the stove room came out of the pot, she immediately called She Yufen in the house, "Mom, Mom, I want to eat." ”
She Yufen was angry and funny, in the laughter of Mei Zhiqing's daughter-in-law and Mei Zhizeng's daughter-in-law, she neatly scooped up a bowl of pig-killing vegetables and a piece of pig blood sausage, and then carried the bowl into the east house.
"Eat slowly, don't burn." After saying this, she turned around and went to the stove to work.
Mei Zhiqing's daughter-in-law was putting the second batch of pig blood sausages into the pot, and when she saw She Yufen walking out so quickly, she hurriedly pointed to the east house and reminded She Yufen, "You better go and watch a little Yali, don't burn her throat." ”
She Yufen smiled, "It's okay, she's not in a hurry." ”
Mei Zhiqing's daughter-in-law was very surprised, "Oh, then she understands things better than the boss of my family!" The eldest of my family is seven or eight years old, and I still can't wait to eat something good and stuff it all in my mouth. ”
Mei Zhizeng's daughter-in-law nodded on the side and agreed, "The two in my family are too, and they are very anxious." ”
"Maybe it's because my family doesn't like meat very much." She Yufen took an unused needle and pierced a small hole in the pig's blood sausage while saying to her two concubines: "I haven't seen her anxious since I was a child, and I can rest assured that she eats by herself." ”
Mei Zhiqing's daughter-in-law thought about it and found that Mei Yali really didn't like to eat meat very much, "I just remembered that you Yali ate pig-killing vegetables at my house on the day I gave her meat, she ate two small pieces, and she picked the rest for her father to eat!" ”
Mei Zhizeng's daughter-in-law was amazed when she heard it, "No wonder Yufen brought her a small bowl of cabbage and blood sausage just now!" I thought she was afraid that Yali would eat too much at this time, and she wouldn't be able to eat it when it came to the table. ”
In the room, Mei Yali was accompanied by Mei Hongwen's babbling and spoonful of soft and sweet pig-killing vegetables into her mouth, and when she heard the laughter coming from the stove, she couldn't help but bend the corners of her lips slightly.
The so-called thriving and prosperous is what her family is doing now, right?
Although in terms of material abundance, the quality of life in her home is still far from the level she wants, but she likes the cheerful atmosphere at the moment.
Just like her mother said, as long as she is diligent and willing to work, her family's life will always be good.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Mei Zhijun and others, who had been busy for most of the day, finally removed all the pork and cut it into pieces of pork of different sizes.
And in the stove room, She Yufen and the others have already cooked all the pig blood sausages.
"Sister-in-law, you can help me send these to my uncle's (Mei Zhizeng and Mei Zhiqing's father)'s house."
She Yufen said as she stuffed a wicker basket containing a strip of pork belly with skin, two pieces of pig blood sausage, and a porcelain pot full of pig-killing vegetables into Mei Zhizeng's daughter-in-law's hand.
The pork belly weighed about two pounds, and half of the pig-killing dish was boiled soft and sweet, melt-in-your-mouth fresh pork.
"Juanzi, you can take a few of them too." She Yufen put the share of Zhao Huiying in another wicker basket, and at the same time told Mei Zhizeng's daughter-in-law to bring several children from her family and Mei Zhiqing's family.
Mei Zhizeng's daughter-in-law was not polite to She Yufen, and after a refreshing "hey", she took a wicker basket and went to the southernmost head of the village.
She Yufen called Mei Zhijun in here again and asked him to send it to Zhao Huiying.
Although Mei Zhijun was full of reluctance, he still carried the wicker basket out of the door.
She Yufen gave Zhao Huiying as much pig-killing vegetables and pig blood sausages as she gave to Mei Zhijun's uncle's family, but the fresh pork she prepared for Mei Jinfeng's old couple weighed about five catties.
Seeing Mei Zhijun carrying the wicker basket away, Mei Zhiqing's daughter-in-law asked her in a low voice, "My second aunt (Zhao Huiying) didn't ask you to go over to eat meat on the day their family killed pigs?" ”
She Yufen shook her head, "I didn't call." ”
Mei Zhiqing's daughter-in-law had a complicated expression on her face that she couldn't tell what it was, "Then you will give her meat!" ”
She Yufen sighed, "It's for Yali's sake." Besides, I don't want people to pay attention to Yali's father is not filial. She is hers, we are ours, and we can live with our conscience. ”
