Lu Wenping didn't dare to pick his mother's fault, so he could only say to Hua Ronghua solemnly: "Hua Niang, the conditions at home are limited, and maybe you are not as rich as your father-in-law's family, but you can still eat and cover your body with cotton clothes, please don't complain anymore." ”

"I'm complaining?" Hua Ronghua pointed to her nose and felt very strange, what she just said was obviously her daughter's lack of nutrition, why did she become a complainant in a blink of an eye?

"If you don't belong to your family, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are." Lu Wenping ignored Hua Ronghua and continued: "Mother is thrifty, if some food is not as exquisite as Hua Niang's in Yue's house, I hope you will take care of it!" ”

"Huh!" Hua Ronghua sneered, "Don't you know how expensive firewood and rice are at home?" I don't think she's going to be in charge, right? Won't you have three or four taels of silver a month enough to give your daughter an egg? Is it interesting to wait until you starve people to death and sweat with that silver? ”

Mrs. Lu quit, "Who do you say won't be in charge?" Will you? Look at your fat and powder all day long, I'm afraid you can't even tell the difference between oil and salt! ”

"Of course I'll be in charge, at least more than you will!"

"What's the matter? You are a rotten black-hearted liver, and you still want to be my ......" Mrs. Lu saw that her dignity was provoked, her hair exploded, and she was about to pounce with both hands, but she was stopped by Jiang Lan.

"Old lady, old lady, listen to me!"

Lu Wenping let out a sigh of relief when he saw his mother being stopped, and glanced at Jiang Lan gratefully and appreciatively.

Jiang Lan returned a shy smile, and then continued to persuade Mrs. Lu, "Old lady, listen to me......"

"What do you want to say? If you dare to help that slut run the house, I'll pick your skin! Mrs. Lu looked at Jiang Lan, who had always been obedient to her, with hatred.

"Old lady, it's not that the lady is in charge, it's just that she is in charge of the kitchen......"

"You still say it's not ......"

"Shh Jiang Lan motioned to Mrs. Lu to be silent, and then pulled her away before continuing in a low voice: "You think, only if the lady is in charge of the kitchen, she can add money to it!" ”

"Huh?" Mrs. Lu's eyes widened, can she make Fahrenheit pay for something at home?!

"Didn't the lady say that there is less meat at home? Then you can let her take care of the grocery shopping and cooking! At that time, you mean to give a few pennies, and then you want to eat roast chicken or something, and she has to pay for it! It's like buying salt this time. Jiang Lan continued to bewitch Mrs. Lu, "And there is only this one in the house for her to manage, and you have to decide the rest of the place!" ”

In fact, Jiang Lan also had enough of her daily meals, so she took this opportunity to come up with an idea.

Mrs. Lu's eyes rolled, how to figure out how to think Jiang Lan's idea was good, so she nodded, "Well, that's it!" ”

Lu Wenping and Hua Ronghua stood aside and watched Jiang Lan and Mrs. Lu muttering something without knowing what to say, and then Mrs. Lu came back with a spring breeze on her face, and said to Hua Ronghua in a stiff tone: "Hua's, since you said that you can take care of the house, then the kitchen will be in charge of you in the future!" In the future, it will be your business to buy vegetables and cook every day! ”

Not only Hua Ronghua, but even Lu Wenping was taken aback, what did this Jiang Lan tell her, it made this Mrs. Lu change so quickly!

Could there be some conspiracy here? Hua Ronghua's suspicious gaze shifted from Jiang Lan to Mrs. Lu's body, letting herself take care of the kitchen? Although I don't want to take care of it, but for the sake of my stomach, this is not a bad way! If you want to lose weight, you can't eat like this, or you won't go out for a while today and be hungry like that.

Now that I don't have an independent household registration, I can't leave the Lu family for the time being, so I can't go out to buy and eat every time, in that case, the gold and silver mountains will not be enough to spend on my own. It's just that Mrs. Lu obviously hated to tear herself up and agreed as soon as she turned around, there must be something greasy here.

Thinking about it carefully, I also guessed that I couldn't help but be angry, I really don't want to care about this matter, but I don't care about it, but I have to go out to buy and eat every once in a while, and I have to quarrel, although she is not afraid of quarrels, but she is tired and panicked because of the quarrel of steamed buns and meat!

Lu Wenping couldn't help but be happy when he saw that his mother was willing to take a step back: "Hua Niang, since my mother said it, then the kitchen at home will be biased towards you from now on." ”

"It's done, bring the money!" Hua Ronghua unceremoniously stretched out her hand to Mrs. Lu, wanting her to take care of the kitchen, but she always had some blood.

Mrs. Lu's mouth twitched, and she almost scolded, a thief dared to ask the old lady for money, look for scolding!

"Old lady!" Jiang Lan pulled down her sleeve at the right time.

"Wait!" Mrs. Lu gritted her teeth and spit out two words, then ran back to her house on her feet, and after a while, she came back with a string of copper plates, "These are the remaining food expenses for this month, all for you!" ”

"Hey, you're going to let go!" When Hua Ronghua went to pick up the copper coins, he found that the hemp rope was being dragged by Mrs. Lu.

"Hmph, let me tell you, it's not easy for Rokuro to make money, if you dare to spend a penny, the old lady will pick your skin!" Mrs. Lu warned Hua Ronghua viciously.

Hua Ronghua ignored Mrs. Lu's nonsense, and directly grabbed the copper coin to take a closer look, "There are only so many left?" It's only about sixty articles! "I even said that I ate until the end of the month, and now it's only the beginning of the month!

"It's not for you to eat meat all at once, why isn't it enough?" Mrs. Lu glanced at Hua Ronghua.

"No, your son earns three or four taels of silver a month, and it's too ...... for you to spend so much money to eat and drink."

Lu Wenping dragged Hua Ronghua, who still wanted to continue the theory, and whispered, "Let's do this first, I'll look for you later." Then I went to comfort Mrs. Lu.

"Cut!" Hua Ronghua threw the half string of copper coins on the table, and regretted this trip a little.

Lu Yuanniang looked at the copper coins on the table with blank eyes and asked in a low voice, "Do you still buy meat buns tomorrow?" ”

"What?" Hua Ronghua didn't hear clearly.

"The meat is delicious, will you buy it tomorrow?" Lu Yuanniang repeated it again.

This kid, I'm afraid he hasn't eaten meat seriously a few times when he grows so big! Hua Ronghua couldn't help but pat her soft and burnt hair comfortingly, "Don't buy buns tomorrow, eat stew tomorrow!" ”

"Really?" Lu Yuanniang smiled at Hua Ronghua again.

As soon as Lu Wenping entered the door, he saw the scene of Hua Ronghua and Lu Yuanniang's mother and daughter's filial piety, and he was a little stunned for a while, as if he had never seen his daughter smile like this, and his daughter in his impression had always lowered her head and didn't like to talk.

Hua Ronghua cleared his throat and asked Lu Wenping, "How can you eat until the end of the month with just a few pennies?" Unless it's cabbage pickles all day long like your mother! ”

Lu Yuanniang immediately disappeared when she saw the smile on Lu Wenping's face, and turned around and hid behind Hua Ronghua.

"My mother is your mother-in-law!" Lu Wenping was very disgusted by Hua Ronghua's tone, and his daughter's obvious lack of kissing made him even more annoyed, and his tone couldn't help but be a little rushed.

"Well, she's my mother-in-law. Then you say, how can my mother-in-law give me so much money to eat until the end of the month? Hua Ronghua asked unceremoniously, pointing to the copper coins on the table.

Lu Wenping sighed, "You use it first, maybe the warden will have a reward in a few days, and I will give it to you then." ”

"Don't tell my mother-in-law anymore?" Hua Ronghua squinted his eyes and asked, I usually look at this surnamed Lu as very filial!

Lu Wenping's face flushed, "Mother doesn't ask, I don't need to say it!" ”

Hua Ronghua let out a long sigh and didn't say anything, if there was Lu Wenping's secret supplement, the kitchen would have been solved.

"One more thing." Hua Ronghua continued: "In the future, Aunt He will help me with the things in the kitchen, and let Jiang Lan do the rest of the house!" Then you can tell you, uh, my mother-in-law. ”

"Okay." Lu Wenping felt that this was a trivial matter, so he happily agreed.

In this way, Hua Ronghua was in charge of the Lu family's kitchen.

Just now, dinner was about to be made, so Hua Ronghua took Aunt He to the kitchen for a turn.

The kitchen is quite spacious, two stoves, next to two jars, open to see, one is filled with solidified meat oil, the other is salt, but the top has fallen thick grease, when you put down the lid I feel sticky on my hands, extremely uncomfortable.

There are only a few cabbages and radishes on the board, but they are soiled, plus the water accidentally spilled when washing vegetables, there is a muddy top, and there are several pickle jars without lids under the board, and occasionally a few drops of muddy water fall directly into the jar; Firewood was piled up in a mess next to the stove.

There were a few firewoods even in the stove hall, Hua Ronghua was afraid that it would cause a fire like this, but fortunately, the fire had not been ignited, and there was a pile of dishes and chopsticks that had not been washed in the wooden basin on the side, and the swill bucket was placed in the ground, and a foul smell wafted out.

"This Jiang Lan looks very clean, how can the kitchen be managed by this virtue?" Hua Ronghua is simply an eye-opener, it's really dirty enough, can you eat the things made here? I didn't know a few days ago, otherwise I would have to vomit it all, but now I still feel like my stomach is churning!

Aunt He also scolded: "This Jiang family is a careless goods, just that clean face!" ”

"Yo, your cheeks are clean, so you can show them to the big guys!" Jiang Lan leaned on the kitchen door and looked at Aunt He with a sneer.

said behind his back that he was arrested, and Aunt He was not embarrassed for a while, but she was bored and silent.

"You've come just in time, clean up this kitchen for me." Hua Ronghua directly arranged, "The dishes and chopsticks and this board are all washed with hot water." ”

Jiang Lan twisted her body and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, lady, the master just told me that the kitchen will not let me take care of it in the future, so I can only work hard for you." ”

Hua Ronghua turned around and stared at her and sneered, "What? I, the lady in charge, can't support you? Well, I'll ask the master to come over and show him how you clean up the kitchen. As he spoke, he was about to go out.

"Hey, lady, lady!" Jiang Lan was startled and hurriedly stopped her, if she really let the master see the kitchen like this, would it be okay? Although she was reluctant in her heart, Jiang Lan still smiled, "I'll clean it up, I'll clean it up!" ”

Watching Jiang Lan go to work honestly, Hua Ronghua said to Aunt He on the side: "You watch her clean up here, and then cook some porridge, and I'll go buy something on the street." ”

"Okay! Don't worry, I will even let her brush the mud in the cracks of the cutting board! As soon as she heard that she was going to be an overseer, Aunt He's eyes lit up, and she patted her chest and promised.
