Zhao Yunlan looked at the expressions of the Li family and the others should have not finished digesting the matter of borrowing money, and got up and said, "Mother, I'll go and prepare dinner first, Xianggong, you look at Xiaobao." ”

Li Mingmei watched Zhao Yunlan go to the kitchen, and after being stunned for a while, she also went to the kitchen to help. Zhao Yunlan didn't care what the Li family was thinking now, she just thought that she could eat chicken tonight.

Zhao Yunlan peeled out the winter bamboo shoots that she hadn't eaten before, washed the fungus, and when she saw Li Mingmei come in, she called her to wash a few radishes, and cut a cabbage and pulled out some garlic seedlings in the vegetable garden.

When Li Mingren comes back tonight, the family can eat some fine grains. Zhao Yunlan was going to steam a small pot of rice and make some cakes with radish and flour.

The rice is steamed in the pot, and the dishes here are almost ready, Zhao Yunlan split the chicken in half to stew the soup, because the stove is not enough, so here Zhao Yunlan asked Li Mingmei to make a stove to stew the soup, and when the soup is stewed, the fire in the stove can also give Wang's hot medicine.

Zhao Yunlan put the green onion in it and stewed it with the chicken first, there was still half a chicken here, Zhao Yunlan didn't plan to keep it, so she slaughtered it into small pieces and burned it with winter bamboo shoots and fungus. When the chicken soup was almost stewed, Zhao Yunlan asked Li Mingmei to throw the radish pieces in and stew them together.

Zhao Yunlan continued to cook, leaving a small half of the pork belly and a small piece of lean meat before, ready to use it to fry a garlic sprout to fry the meat, Zhao Yunlan didn't put the oil, directly put the fatter pork belly in the pot and boiled it out of the oil, put the lean meat in, and finally put the garlic sprouts. Zhao Yunlan once again sighed that there were no chili peppers, and the dishes were missing souls.

In the end, Zhao Yunlan fried cabbage again, and there was oil stored at home, and Zhao Yunlan was very handy in cooking. Finally, after controlling the water with the shredded radish cut by Li Mingmei, wrapped it in flour, and baked a pot of multigrain radish cakes. Zhao Yunlan wanted the fried cakes to be more delicious, but the oil was not enough.

The Li family has been slowly accepting the family's borrowing money in the fragrance coming from the kitchen. A few of the little ones couldn't wait to eat, and their stomachs rumbled several times.

Zhao Yunlan came out of the kitchen and called for Li Mingren to help set the meal.

Zhao Yunlan just habitually thinks that housework is shared by the family, and you can't stop doing housework because you have a better career or are more liked by your elders. What's more, this family doesn't have the ability to support the master.

Li Mingren heard Zhao Yunlan's command and before he could react, he took the chopsticks handed to him. The brain is confused to set the bowl. Wang watched from the side and was silent, Old Man Li wanted to speak, but was stopped by Wang.

Li Mingren didn't do much work at home before, and the Li brothers and sisters felt that something was beginning to change quietly, but they couldn't say why, Li Mingmei only felt that her sister-in-law was so powerful.

When waiting for the dishes, the family smelled the fragrance, although there was rice in this meal, but it was only enough for each person to share a bowl, the Li family's fine grain was basically a meal that the family could eat once a year, and the rest were given to the patient alone or left for Li Mingren Xiaobao and the two.

The most pleasing thing about this meal is not that you can eat fine grains, but that basically every dish is meat, even the stir-fried cabbage is fried in lard.

This is the first time Li Mingren has eaten the food cooked by Zhao Yunlan up to now, and he was amazed in his heart, and suddenly thought that he hadn't cared about his wife for a long time. I didn't know there would be such a good craftsmanship.

Wang looked at Zhao Yunlan and said, "Lan Niang, do you have anything else to say, let's say it now." ”

Zhao Yunlan didn't want to talk about those serious things during the meal, and suddenly said with a flash of inspiration: "Good luck, eat chicken tonight, let's go." ”

Old man Li said: "Okay, good luck, good luck." ”

Everyone in the Li family didn't know why they suddenly said blessings, but everyone liked to hear good words, and tonight was indeed a chicken meal, and the family ate happily. Zhao Yunlan gave a bowl of chicken soup to Xiaobao, the old man of the Li family, Li Mingren didn't wait for Zhao Yunlan's chicken soup, his heart flashed with loss, tonight's dishes were so fragrant that the Li family couldn't stop talking, and even Xiaobao usually didn't have time to make trouble, so he ate Zhao Yunlan's torn chicken one by one.

Zhao Yunlan also drank the chicken soup with satisfaction, and finally came here to eat decently. This meal was satisfying for the Li family, the second and third rushed to wash the dishes and clean up, and the fourth Li wisely said, "Sister-in-law, let's go to the mountains another day to see if we can meet pheasants." ”

Wang was beside him, "You are so good to be a dead pheasant, and you can't beat a live pheasant, I can say, don't take that porcelain if you don't have that diamond diamond." ”

The fourth child didn't dare to speak, Zhao Yunlan said here: "Mother, let's listen to everyone here, my plan for the next step of this family." ”

The second and third children came over after cleaning up the kitchen, Li Mingren also sat next to Xiaobao with him, and during the meal, the father and son got a lot closer, and Li Mingren also helped feed Xiaobao to drink chicken soup during the meal.

Li Mingmei also sat next to the Wang family, and Zhao Yunlan saw that everyone was gathered and began to say: "First of all, land is the foundation of a family, so we can't sell land anymore. Then the difficulties we are facing now are money, the father-in-law studying, the mother drinking medicine, and the family having to live. So I decided to borrow a sum of money, at the beginning my mother said to give Xianggong 1,200 yuan, and the family currently has 1,100 Wen, so we will borrow 1,000 yuan, Xianggong's 1,200 yuan is still the same, borrow money? Let's go to the village chief, the eldest grandson of the village chief's family is studying, and he can understand the difficulty of reading people, and the village chief is in charge of the affairs of a village, and he is also a fair person, so he is the best person to borrow money. ”

Wang didn't speak, looking at his expression, it should be a default.

"The second brother is also old enough to start a family, we will do this in the second half of the year, second brother, sister-in-law here to assure you, and also to my father and mother, in the second half of the year, there will be money to talk about family affairs. These two things are the bulk of this year's money, and then the family has to drink medicine, which is a necessary expense, so this money must be kept. At least stay enough for three months, and then prevent a headache and brain fever at home, this one will leave 100 wen, which is about 250 wen.

Let's talk about how to pay off the borrowed money, and save the bride price money for the second brother. Xiang Gong immediately took the exam, so Xiang An's peace of mind to prepare for the exam, there is still a period of time before the spring harvest, during this time there is little work at home, the second brother and the third brother went to the town to do odd jobs, the fourth brother helped to do the work in the field at home, I am almost recuperating now, I can also do the work in the field, the little sister will help with housework at home in the future, and the work in the field will be less to do, our family, everyone also sees it, no one can live an easy life, so my words may be disrespectful to my father, my mother's task is to take care of the body, In this way, everyone can have less worries when they work, and they can concentrate on the public entrance examination. Dad can't afford to lose his job at this age, for the sake of a large family, so I hope that Dad can do his own handicraft when he is not busy, and we will bring some bamboo baskets to the town to see the situation next time. ”

Li Mingren was stunned for a moment when he heard Zhao Yunlan say that no one in this family could live an easy life, and he thought that something was stabbing it, but the feeling for a moment reminded Li Mingren of why a lady who couldn't read big characters could make these arrangements.

Zhao Yunlan also realized that she had said too much, and the Li family was almost used to Zhao Yunlan like this, but Li Mingren had only contacted her for the first time, and Zhao Yunlan decided that it was time to turn over the old accounts and sell them miserably.

"Last month I fell and was in a coma for a while, when I thought I was dead, my head has been flashing the past from my birth to three years of marriage, looking at my previous muddy nightmare, especially when I came to our old Li family, I didn't help my mother, I didn't take care of Xianggong and Xiaobao, and I woke up at once. I fought hard to sober myself up, my brain was about to explode, and in the end, I didn't know which god saved my life, and I woke up. Later, during the period of cultivation, I have been thinking, I want to keep up with the footsteps of Xianggong and start to change, so I followed my younger brothers and sisters to recognize words, and slowly recognized more words, and I can also understand some of the annotations on Xianggong's book, and I feel that my brain is becoming clearer and clearer, and I can understand the truth of many things better. ”

The fourth Li Mingzhi hurriedly said: "Yes, eldest brother, my sister-in-law is very serious in reading and writing, and she is more diligent than when I was studying." ”

Li Mingren was very ashamed after listening to Zhao Yunlan's words, as a husband, the lady was sick and injured and could not be taken care of by the lady, and her doubts about Zhao Yunlan were greatly dissipated. Zhao Yunlan looked at Li Mingren and lowered his head, thinking that this cheap husband was still saved, and he could be ashamed.

"So, now our family is working together to create a better life for the Li family, as the daughter-in-law of the Li family and the sister-in-law of my younger brothers and sisters, I take the first step and set an example."

The eyes of the old couple of the Li family were a little red, and a few small ones were also trembling under the encouragement, and Li Mingren once again felt that he was pierced in the heart, as if something was about to be broken. Li Mingmei held Wang's hand tightly. Only Xiaobao was dancing in Zhao Yunlan's arms, Zhao Yunlan looked at Xiaobao and suddenly thought, "Xianggong, Xiaobao is not famous yet, this task will be handed over to you." Li Mingren nodded in agreement.

Zhao Yunlan beckoned everyone to go back to the room to rest, hugged Xiaobao back to the room, Li Mingren followed silently, and when Zhao Yunlan returned to the room and turned around to close the door, he suddenly collided with Li Mingren, Li Mingren staggered back, Li Mingren has been studying hard for many years, he has not done any heavy work, and the conditions of the Li family are not too good.

On the other hand, Zhao Yunlan, the bottom plate was already strong, and after giving birth to Xiaobao, it soared all the way, although this period of time has decreased a lot, compared with Li Mingren, it is not one or two points worse. Zhao Yunlan reacted to share the bed with Li Mingren, and was suddenly cramped and uneasy, Li Mingren stood firm before stepping in, the two of them seemed to have returned to the wedding night, embarrassed and cramped, but this time Zhao Yunlan was less admiring and shy.
