The bride entered the door to show her skills, although there were no elders above who needed to make rules for herself, Chen Xiuyan still went to the kitchen.

Luo Mingqing and Luo Mingxin were both in the kitchen, one of them was boiling hot water, the other was scooping hot water, and when they saw Chen Xiuyan coming in, they all smiled and called, "Little aunt." ”

"Huh." Chen Xiuyan's return is smooth, not pretentious at all, which makes the image of the two better.

"Little aunt, I'll take you to our cellar and storehouse first, and then I'll give you all the keys to the house." Luo Mingxin stood up from behind the stove, "In the future, our little aunt will be in charge." ”

"Our uncle is the oldest, but he has no interest in chores, they used to worry about it when my father and mother were there, and I and my eldest brother have been in charge of the house for the past few years." Luo Mingxin sighed and said, "Oh yes, little aunt, except for the dowry in the room, the rest is in the warehouse, you can also go and take inventory." ”

Luo Mingxin took Chen Xiuyan and began to look at the Luo family.

Compared with the mother's character institution, the Luo family is more like a courtyard house, with houses on all sides, but what is more comfortable than the courtyard is that the courtyard is larger, and the remaining place in the middle is larger, and the lighting is good.

There are three rooms in the main courtyard, there are two ear rooms on both sides, Luo Wenqian lives in the room on the left, the ear room serves as a study, and the net room is a small space separated in the room; In the middle is the hall, which is also the other party who worshiped yesterday; The main room on the right is Luo Mingqing's room.

There are also three rooms in the east and west wings, the kitchen is on the south side of the east wing, and the thatched house is on the south side of the west wing.

"Little aunt, I live in the west wing, and the second brother and younger brother live in the east wing." Luo Mingxin introduced them one by one, "There are three inverted seats, one is usually used by the uncle, and two rooms are set up, so that relatives will not have to worry about having no place to live in the future." ”

"There is a backyard at the back, and there are also several rooms for the storeroom, and the cellar is also in the backyard." Luo Mingxin led Chen Xiuyan to the backyard.

The backyard occupies a large area, and the front yard is also paved with bluestone slabs, three rooms, on both sides are wooden sheds, and in the wooden shed near the back door are donkeys grazing, and on the other side is a pigsty, and the Locke family has two pigs.

There is no waste on both sides, one side is surrounded by the ground, a low shed is built to raise chickens, the other side is the countertop of the stone base, there is a well on the side, usually laundry, washing vegetables, etc. is very suitable, the middle rectangle is not paved with bluestone slabs, but surrounded by a small vegetable garden.

The whole is clean and substantial, Chen Xiuyan likes it very much.

There are three rooms in the backyard, two are storerooms and one is a firewood room, and the cellar is dug under the firewood room.

"Little auntie, what are we going to have for breakfast today?" Luo Mingxin held an oil lamp to illuminate the cellar, which was full of refined grains, coarse grains, bacon, and vegetables......

"Make a gnocchi soup, boiled eggs one at a time, and some cornmeal tortillas." Chen Xiuyan said, Luo Mingxin took the eggs according to the scoop noodles.

Passing by the backyard, Chen Xiuyan plucked a celery and green onion.

Although Chen Xiuyan's cooking skills are not as good as those of her second sister-in-law He, she has also understood that the ingredients are the same, and the amount of seasoning that is good or not, the mastery of the heat is very important.

Wash the celery and chop it finely, stir-fry it with lard until fragrant, put the celery down and fry it a few times, then add water, pour in the flocculent gnocchi that is rubbed open with cold water after it opens, put salt and pour a little soy sauce after boiling, and finally sprinkle the green onion, and the gnocchi soup comes out of the pot.

Luo Mingxin can make eggs and corn tortillas, two pots in the kitchen, and when Chen Xiuyan is busy, go to see Luo Mingxin on the side.

The cornmeal cakes were of different thicknesses, Chen Xiuyan saw that the corners of her mouth twitched, and she took her job to rub the dough and paste the cakes by herself, and it was also important whether the food was beautiful or not.

When all the cakes were ready, Luo Mingxin actively filled the pimple soup, went to the hall one by one, and shouted loudly, "It's time to eat." ”

"It's all made by my little aunt today, and this pimple soup smells so good." Luo Mingxin praised Chen Xiuyan vigorously.

All the members of the Luo family arrived, and the juniors saw that Chen Xiuyan obediently called the little aunt, Chen Xiuyan found that the second Luo Mingchu was the coldest to him, and the fourth Luo Mingnian was the closest to him.

At the square table of the Eight Immortals, Luo Wenqian beckoned Chen Xiuyan to sit next to him, just in the main seat, Luo Mingqing and Luo Mingchu were on one side, and on the opposite side were Luo Mingxin and Luo Mingnian.

"Little auntie, the gnocchi soup you made is so delicious." Luo Mingnian was very enthusiastic and praised while eating.

"Mingnian, food is silent." Luo Mingchu interrupted his younger brother's words, and also made the atmosphere at the dinner table silent.

However, these did not affect Chen Xiuyan's appetite, I don't know if it was related to whether it was made by himself, Chen Xiuyan ate very fragrantly, spun two bowls of gnocchi soup, and ate an egg and two corn tortillas.

"Knock-"

"Ming Qing, come and open the door."

As soon as Chen Xiuyan put down her chopsticks, there was a loud shout outside, accompanied by a strong knock on the door.

"It's a ghost." Luo Mingqing rolled his eyes.

"Big brother." Luo Mingchu wrinkled his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Luo Mingqing disapprovingly, "After all, he is an elder, and he still has to save face, how can he say such a thing in front of so many people, in case it reaches the ears of others, it will be bad for the uncle." ”

"Got it, got it." Luo Mingqing said impatiently, "The second brother didn't say you, you have to work hard to study, don't be stupid to read, you are even more boring than your uncle now." ”

"Uncle, the second grandfather's family must have come to drink his nephew's and daughter-in-law's tea." Luo Mingqing was like a mirror in his heart, "Little aunt, if they make things difficult for you later, you don't have to endure it, they ask you for gifts, and you don't give them, and you are not a serious elder." ”

Chen Xiuyan turned her head to look at Luo Wenqian, after all, he was the head of the family at home.

"There's no need to worry, and there's no need to give them tea, just recognize your face." Luo Wenqian said.

Chen Xiuyan smiled and nodded, knowing in her heart.

Luo Mingqing went to open the door with joy, and Luo Mingxin went to make tea.

"Mingnian, you take your little aunt to deal with the doors that should be closed and locked in the backyard, and it will take a while for your eldest brother to open the door." As soon as Luo Wenqian explained, Luo Ming Nianxing hurriedly pulled Chen Xiuyan away.

At this time, Luo Wenqian and Luo Mingchu were left in the hall.

"Uncle, I'm ...... too"

"You wait a minute." Luo Wenqian stopped Luo Mingchu, "Do you know why I want to leave you alone to speak?" ”

Luo Mingchu lowered his head slightly, and Luo Wenqian sighed when he saw this.

Chen Xiuyan has good ears, even if she is out of the hall, as long as she listens attentively, she can still hear the conversation between her uncle and nephew.

"You are stubborn and admit death, I have always told you to know how a person gets along with each other, you can't be guilty of some unfounded rumors."

"I have a name for Auntie."

"But why did you say that just now, you are afraid that what your family will say will spread out, that is, you are not at ease with your little aunt, yes or no?"

"Uncle, I know how to do it."

"Hmm."
