When the lid is lifted, a rich smell of chicken soup hits you. The taro was boiled for about twenty minutes, Li Xin took the chopsticks to try the softness and hardness, and the outside was already soft, but the inside was still a little hard. Pour down the leftover rice from yesterday and boil it, let Ah Xiu burn the fire smaller, shovel it in the pot, and put the lid on again.

When the chicken soup was a little better, Li Xin thought about making a pot of meat. Although it is not good to eat greasy meals in the morning, the conditions at home are like this, and it is not necessary to pay attention to them.

Guan Wen is a man, and if he has a daughter-in-law, he will no longer stay in the stove, and go to the hall to set up a table. Li Xin and Ah Xiu chatted without saying a word, Ah Xiu mostly told Li Xin how good her eldest brother was, and Li Xin kept listening with a smile. She is still very satisfied with the man she married.

After the taro chicken soup was cooked, Li Xin filled a large pot, put it on the table on the other side of the stove, cleaned the pot, and fried the fat pork and cabbage left over from yesterday. Because there is no special watercress seasoning, Li Xin can only use some sugar and sesame oil to stir-fry.

Ah Xiu couldn't stop swallowing saliva when she smelled the fragrance, and couldn't help asking: "Sister-in-law, what kind of dish is this......

"Back to the pot meat."

Li Xin's hand movements did not stop, and he quickly stir-fried the pot and put it aside. Ah Xiu put out the fire, Li Xin scooped the water into the pot, let the residual temperature warm, and after eating, he could wash the dishes with hot water.

"Daughter-in-law."

Just thinking about whether to bring the food to the table now or wait for the tea to be busy, Guan Wen entered the stove and gently grabbed her hand and said, "Dad and grandpa are up, let's go and give them a salute." ”

"Well, let's go."

Li Xin pulled Guan Wen to wash his hands quickly, and Ah Xiu grinned on the side: "Big brother really loves sister-in-law." ”

"Someone will hurt you soon." Li Xin didn't bother with other people's jokes at all, and replied with a smile, which made Ah Xiu blush.

Li Xin has not been to the Guan family's hall yet, when she got married, she was covered with a hijab, and she has been busy working in the stove since she got up today, and now she saw the whole picture of the Guan family's hall.

The hall is the living room of a home, and it is the largest room. The Guan family's hall is not too big. It's the same, the new houses are so small, how big can the halls be? When I crossed the threshold and looked up, I saw that the hall was very high, but it was ...... Two coffins hung overhead.

The elderly in the countryside will prepare a coffin for themselves early, commonly known as the "coffin book". I used to hear that the place at home was not big enough, and the coffins prepared by the old people would be hanging, and this is the case when I wanted to come to the house. Lying across the two thick logs, I didn't worry that it would fall down, but seeing the coffin early in the morning still made Li Xin feel a little uncomfortable.

Guan Wen took Li Xin in, and Lao Guantou and Guan Ming were already sitting upright, with two dilapidated futons in front of them. On the left and right stood Guan Wen's younger brother and sister.

Guan Wen knelt down first, and Li Xin knelt down and kowtowed to the two elders. Li Xin gave them tea.

When it was given to Lao Guantou, Lao Guantou quickly took it, smashed his mouth and took a sip, took it out of his pocket, and finally took out a small piece of broken silver for him, handed it to Li Xin and said, "The eldest grandson's daughter-in-law, good, good!" ”

Li Xin took the dirty broken silver and said "Thank you, grandpa" to Lao Guantou, who happily asked her to continue.

He served tea to Guan Ming again, but Guan Ming put down the score and said, "Ah Wen's daughter-in-law, since you are married to our Guan family, you must abide by the rules of our Guan family and live a good life with Ah Wen." ”

Li Xin replied "yes", and there was no dissatisfaction on his face. Guan Ming was very satisfied, and said: "It's what you should do to take care of the housework, don't be lazy." You are the eldest daughter-in-law, you have to set an example, and when you go back to your fourth brother and daughter-in-law, you will have to supervise on the side. ”

Li Xin secretly laughed in her heart, this father-in-law likes to put on a show, nodded and responded, "Yes, father-in-law." ”

Guan Ming took the tea and took a sip, his waist was straightened, and he also took it out of his pocket, and the broken silver he took out was slightly smaller than that of Lao Guan, thinking that they had discussed it, they couldn't give it, but they couldn't give more, it was a meaning. Guan Ming couldn't get past the old juncture, and the meeting gifts given to Li Xin by the two of them added up to only half a tael of silver, but Li Xin was also content.

After serving tea to the two elders, it was considered to have entered the door of the Guan family. Li Xin said with a smile: "Before I came, I bought shoes for my grandfather and father-in-law, and my daughter-in-law went to get them." So saying, he went into the new house, took the shoes out of the dowry box, and offered them respectfully.

Lao Guan happily took it in his hand and touched it, but Guan Ming coughed pretendically, "Awen's daughter-in-law's craftsmanship is not bad." "Didn't say anything more.

Of course, this is also a courtesy, and Li Xin won't care too much, after all, this thing is a heart.

This was followed by an introduction to the other family members of the Guan family.

Guan Wu is honest and honest, Guan Quan is clever, Guan Zhicheng is a scholar, at the age of sixteen, he looks at Li Xin's eyes with some disdain, and the whole person has a kind of arrogance that makes people feel uncomfortable.

The three younger brothers all called their sisters-in-law, and Li Xin obviously felt that Guan Zhicheng was very reluctant.

It's the turn of the two sisters-in-law who are like flowers, Ah Xiu is more familiar, but Ah Mei is a little timid, and when she sees her, she will hide behind Ah Xiu.

Li Xin watched a farce of the Guan family that day, and vaguely remembered that the Sun family had beaten her sister-in-law at home, and she should be referring to Ah Mei. If this sister is cowardly, it's better, you can turn it around and get along better.

Ah Mei whispered "sister-in-law", Li Xin smiled softly and said, "You're going to eat, right?" Ah Xiu, Ah Mei, come and help my sister-in-law bring the meal. ”

Ah Xiu hurriedly said: "Okay, I've wanted to eat it for a long time." Ah Mei pursed her lips and didn't speak.

Li Xin didn't care either, and brought a large basin of taro chicken soup and rice, and Ah Xiu took the dishes and chopsticks in the back, all of which were washed by Li Xin. Two pots of back pot meat, Li Xinyun put out some and put a bowl for the three of them, and Ah Xiu made a more trip to serve it.

After the meal was served, Li Xin also set up the dishes and chopsticks in a timely manner, and said to Lao Guantou: "Grandpa, Awen said that you don't eat hard food, this taro is soft, can you try it?" The meat is all stewed and won't knock your teeth. ”

The old man smiled and said yes, Li Xin put the soup and rice outside, and the meat was just on the table.

"Wow, what smells so good!"

Guan Quan's nose sniffed, and his eyes stared at the back pot meat in Ah Xiu's hand. Ah Xiu said with a smile: "The breakfast made by my sister-in-law is fragrant." ”

Lao Guan drank a sip of chicken soup and rice, and smashed his mouth, "It's delicious, fragrant!" ”

Guan Wen brought the meat back to the pot, thinking that Li Xin had been busy since he got up in the morning, and said busily: "It's all served, you can eat it too." ”

Li Xin's heart warmed, nodded softly, and served the men of the Guan family before turning around and going to the stove.

Ah Mei was just bored eating, Ah Xiu kept saying that the meal was delicious, and Li Xin responded from time to time, her stomach was already hungry, and she was busy eating.

Ah Xiu involuntarily learned Li Xin's eating movements, mouth chewing movements, and the posture of resting his hands on the small table. Li Xin was looked at several times and found that Ah Xiu was learning from her, and glanced at herself, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's not ......" Ah Xiu smiled shyly, "I just think that my sister-in-law looks very good when she eats, and the aunts and sisters-in-law in the village eat with a big mouthful, and the sister-in-law eats very much, well, yes, delicate......"

Li Xin smiled, and saw that Ah Mei had been holding the cabbage leaf in front of her, and sandwiched a piece of meat for her, "Ah Mei, eat more, girls are still fat and beautiful." ”

Ah Mei raised her head in surprise, her eyes wet.

Li Xin had seen Ah Mei that day, and her temperament was so soft. Ah Xiu is better, when Sun married her, she was almost sensible, and her personality was almost determined, and she would not suffer a loss if she married in the future. But Ah Mei is like this, marrying is the master of being manipulated by others, and she is not tough at all. Li Xin sighed secretly, comforted himself and said, forget it, take your time.
