Chapter 216: Making Jam
Several militiamen searched for a whole morning and didn't see anyone, so in a fit of anger, they pulled out Liu Widow and his wife and Xu Yongmin to criticize and fight.
Xu Yongmin scolded Liu Cuifang in his stomach, but Liu Widow and Liu Fenfang had a dull expression from beginning to end, and there was no light in their eyes.
Song Enli didn't care much about where Liu Cuifang went, anyway, she wanted to find her, and she washed the wild fruits picked from Baizhen Mountain a while ago to make jam.
She picked up some bad fruits and rotten fruits, and took some more wild fruits from the space and carried them to the well to wash.
Xiao Heping wanted to help, but Song Enli thought he was squeezing himself in the way, so he threw him a basin of dirty clothes that he had changed, "You are so idle that you just take this to wash." ”
Xiao Heping sighed, he really left.
The members usually take advantage of the break after lunch to do laundry or something, so there are several people squatting by the river downstream.
Seeing Xiao Heping carrying a basin of clothes to wash, they asked him one after another, "Fourth, why are you alone, your daughter-in-law?" ”
After knowing the truth about Lin Xiang's matter, everyone was more or less sympathetic to Xiao Heping, and of course they didn't gloat.
Xiao Heping said sullenly, "I'm such a big person, do I need someone to accompany me to wash my clothes?" ”
The laundry men immediately accepted the homely interest in talking to him.
The old son of the Xiao family doesn't know how to talk about family affairs at all!
Xiao Heping didn't come to talk about homely things, he just buried himself in the laundry, he moved neatly, cleaned it after a while, and by the way, he poked a fish with a branch in a slightly deeper water.
And Song Enli, who was squatting by the well, was picking up fresh wild fruits and gnawing hard, and several babies in the family were all squatting next to her, and one person was holding two of them, which was like a toad meeting.
Xiao Heping pulled her up funny, "It's not that you won't be allowed to eat wild fruits, you don't eat a lot of apples and bananas in the cabinet, and your stomach should be uncomfortable again." ”
"I'm fine, so I ate that one." Song Enli said unashamedly to the three or four wild fruit cores at his feet.
She hurriedly finished the last few bites, "Xiao Heping, you help me wash this box of fruits, and come to the stove later, and I'll go and make a fire first." ”
Xiao Xiaozhuan immediately caught up with her, "Little aunt, I'll help you make a fire." ”
After reacting, Xiao Xiaoshu gave himself a mouthful, "Why is he a little slower again." ”
Fortunately, he can't burn the stove, he can help hold firewood, the hard-working and sensible child has a cheap advantage, regardless of whether he is real or pretending, Song Enli boiled a white water egg for him and Xiao Xiaoshui, so beautiful that he ran out with the egg to show off everywhere.
Because of this, those women hate Wu Sanmei and Chen Zhaodi even more.
A person who can boil white water eggs for children as snacks!
Whoever marries in is not happy, originally Hua Mada let Wang Xiuying pick someone, but the mother and son of the son of a bitch jumped out to make trouble, and as a result, the little fool in Xiao Laosi's house was scared away, and they all let Xiao Heping get out.
Everyone thinks that if Wang Xiuying chooses, she must be her sisters, cousins, cousins, nieces, cousins, cousins, granddaughters, cousins, granddaughters, cousins, and granddaughters...... As well as all sorts of distant relatives.
In short, it was Wu Sanmei and Chen Zhaodi who spoiled their good deeds!
It is said that when Song Enli slowly boiled out the big pot of jam, it was already a matter of hours, and the children in the family were looking forward to eating this new thing.
"It's still very hot and can't be eaten now, it's delicious when it's cool, and if we don't have bread, we can only eat it on the steamed bun, how about I make you white flour steamed buns?"
"Really! Really make us white? Steamed buns? It's been a long time since I've eaten white bread. Xiao Xiaoshu was the first to jump up, "Fourth aunt, you are so good!" ”
Except that Song Enli used pure white when cooking before? Noodles to make steamed buns, Wang Xiuying will mix cornmeal in order to save grain, make two-sided buns, and sometimes mix one kind, that is, three-sided steamed buns, but whether it is two-sided steamed buns or three-sided steamed buns, they are all rare delicious, Wang Xiuying will not do it often, let alone give them enough, only when opening a small stove for Song Enli and Xiao Heping, Wang Xiuying will seriously knead a white? Noodles and buns.
Stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, Xiao Xiaoshu is honest now, Song Enli didn't shake his face with him, he said "um" lightly, took the key given to her by Wang Xiuying and went to the cellar to scoop a pot of refined flour, and prepared the Xiao family's dinner by the way.
Kneaded the noodles and waited to wake up, and the jam in the pot was also dry, Song Enli asked Xiao Heping to help find a bunch of empty cans and bottles, and put them in one by one.
The jam made by myself is full of flesh, and the raw materials used are rock sugar and honey, and the sweet and sour taste is very good.
Song Enli dug a little with a small spoon and tasted it, "It's so sweet." ”
Xiao Heping lowered his head and tasted the corner of her mouth, "It's so sweet." ”
Then he secretly took a bottle of jam and went back to the house and hid it at the head of the bed.
Song Enli was busy distributing the packaging and didn't notice his small actions.
A large basket of wild fruits, a full twenty cans and bottles, still left.
Song Enli took two bottles and handed them to Xiao Xiaoshuan, "This is for your uncle and grandfather's house." ”
Among these children, except for the four girls in the second room, she only believed that Xiao Xiaozhuan would not steal it, but the four girls in the second room family were worried that she would go back and send the jam to her grandmother's house.
After all, Chen Zhaodi's brainwashing of them is quite thorough, and she can't help it for a while, for example, Chen Zhaodi has broken Siya's appearance, and she doesn't care about her at all, but Siya has never blamed her mother, but she thinks about when her mother will come back every day.
After sending two bottles to Wang Baosheng's house, there were still eighteen bottles, Song Enli asked Xiao Heping to send two bottles to Secretary He's house, and she planned to give one bottle to Yang Chaoying, two bottles of Sheng Li, and two bottles of Yan Chaozong.
Others don't know, Yan Chaozong must not lack this thing, but after all, this is made by her own hands, the courtesy is light and affectionate, and the uncle is lonely and pitiful.
Song Enli originally planned to take the time to go to the county seat to send it to them, but who knew that her things had not been sent yet, but Yan Chaozong's letter arrived first, but the letter did not say anything, only told her that the silk and keys had arrived, let her have time to go to his place to get them, and told her to take care of herself, and specially left the phone number of his office, so that she could find a way to go to the post office or call him somewhere if she had something.
The letter was accompanied by a heavy rattan suitcase, which was full of food, and Yan Chaozong told her that this was to fulfill her promise to let him eat and drink.
Since there was a postman in the commune, letters and packages could be delivered to the brigade, and today, she just caught up with Song Enli, and she took it herself.
After reading the letter, he naturally took the space, and only carried a suitcase home, Xiao Heping was quite curious and asked her where she came from.
Song Enli casually said that a friend sent it, but he didn't think much about it.
His daughter-in-law is full of friends on the street, Xiao Heping knows.
Song Enli didn't plan to go to the provincial capital for the time being, she was 100% at ease with Yan Chaozong, so she wasn't in a hurry, and besides, these things were originally bought by Yan Chaozong, so she mentioned them in her reply to him by the way.
She sorted out the things sent by Yan Chaozong, in addition to the canned food that was easy to preserve, there was also a cloth bag of fine rice, not to mention a ten catties, as well as a large jar of imported chocolate and a chic army green tweed blouse, judging from the style, it should be imported.
Yan Chaozong was so polite, she naturally couldn't be rude.
In addition to the two bottles of jam that she had planned to send him, she estimated his height and weight and took two shirts and a finished men's cashmere sweater from the space, thinking that there was still room in it, and by the way, she stuffed a few old ginseng and a large bag of dried wild mushrooms that she dried.
Song Enli was busy, Xiao Heping was reading, and he didn't pay attention to what she put in the box, and when she only covered the lid, she glanced at it and it was full, which was quite delicious, "Daughter-in-law, who are you sending things to, shouldn't it be a man?" ”
Song Enli was frank, "Yes, it's a man." ”
