Chapter 276: Sister-in-law quarrels
At noon, Chen Xingling took his son home.
Xiaohuzi played all morning, and his stomach was already hungry.
"Mom, what do we eat? I'm going to eat a lot, a lot! ”
Chen Xingling replied: "There is beef soup at home, let's cook vermicelli and eat it." ”
Before going out in the morning, she took a large piece of beef brisket from the supermarket space and cut it into small pieces, boiled it to remove the blood, and put it all into a saucepan to boil.
Calculated by time, it should have been cooked by now.
There is soup and meat at home, so they only need to throw some vegetables and potatoes, and get a small bundle of vermicelli to go down, which is enough for their mother and son to eat enough.
Xiaohuzi couldn't help but ask, "When did you have beef soup?" Why didn't I smell it! ”
"Uh...... It's cold. Chen Xingling explained perfunctorily: "I couldn't eat it after boiling it yesterday, it has formed a solid state, and the taste naturally can't be emanated." ”
"Uh-oh." Xiaohuzi rubbed his stomach and said, "Mom, I'm so hungry!" Hurry up and cook it. ”
Reluctant to starve his baby son, Chen Xingling hurried to the kitchen.
After a while, she put the hot beef brisket soup on the honeycomb coal stove, stirred it a few times with a large spoon, and found that the brisket inside was crumbling, obviously soft, and the soup was rich and fragrant.
She quickly tossed the potato slices down and threw two more bundles of small vermicelli.
"Mom! The fourth uncle is here! Little Tiger ran to open the door.
At this time, the hearty laughter of the fourth brother came from the door: "It is worthy of being a tiger!" The ears are very sensitive! ”
Chen Xingling cut one more potato and threw another handful of vegetables into it.
"Fourth brother, have you eaten? Let's eat vermicelli together! ”
Chen Jixing didn't say anything polite to her, and shouted: "I'm dying of hunger!" Get more! ”
Chen Xingling saw that the noodles were almost cooked, so he simply added two more packets of instant noodles, stirred well, and served on the table.
"Wow!" Chen Jixing took a few deep breaths and asked in surprise: "Beef?!" Aroma! ”
Chen Xingling spooned a large bowl and handed it to him, and took a large basin and half a basin.
Chen Jixinghu asked: "What are you doing?" Do you eat with this? ”
"Mine!" Xiaohuzi smiled and swallowed saliva: "Fourth uncle, my mother is afraid that I will be hot, so every time I spoon it into a big basin, and then spoon it into a small bowl, so that it will cool quickly." ”
"I see." Chen Jixing nodded suddenly, took a bite of meat and ate it, and then squinted his eyes: "Yes, only use ginger as a seasoning to remove the fishiness, and retain the umami and aroma of the beef." The dish eliminates some of the oiliness of the beef, and the verdant taste is good. The potatoes are paired with beef, and they become more and more fragrant. ”
Then, he glanced at his sister: "When I was at home before, why didn't I see you make one or two meals like this for us to eat?" ”
Chen Xingling took a big bite and didn't raise his head: "I only practiced it after being a daughter-in-law for others." ”
"Do what you have to do." Chen Jixing whispered with pity: "Just think it's for Archie and Xiaohuzi." If you make it delicious, they will enjoy it. ”
Chen Xingling shook his head: "I basically only make breakfast now, and eat lunch on the construction site." Lunch and dinner were made by Ah Yi's daughter-in-law, Xiaoxing. She is very diligent, she washes the dishes and chopsticks when she finishes it, and even the kitchen will help me clean it before going back. ”
“…… Yours is it! Chen Jixing smiled, as if he remembered something, and whispered: "When we move to the east of the city, you have to help find a capable sister-in-law or aunt to help us take care of our daily meals." ”
Chen Xingling was slightly stunned and asked, "Doesn't the fourth sister-in-law know how to cook?" Didn't she open a tavern before? ”
"Alas! Opening a tavern is not opening a restaurant, where do you understand. Chen Jixing smiled bitterly: "She can only bake bread and make some simple burgers or fried meat." Her lifestyle is different from ours, and she can't be said to be lazy - it's just that her concept is different. Don't mention it, it's hard enough! ”
"What's wrong?" Chen Xingling raised his eyebrows and asked.
Chen Jixing lowered his voice: "Yesterday Siya and the fifth sister-in-law quarreled......"
"Quarrel ?!!" Chen Xingling was taken aback and asked, "It's not serious, right?" Don't make a fuss! I heard from my fifth brother that my fifth sister-in-law was pregnant, and she was less than three months old. ”
In recent months, she has been busy with classes and work, and she has no time to go back to her parents' home.
Fortunately, several brothers often come to work on the construction site, and she knows everything in the family.
The old mother and father are in good health, and they are busy every day, and she has nothing to worry about, so she can rest assured that she is busy with her own affairs.
More than half a month ago, the work on the construction site began to come to an end, and a few brothers didn't have to come over, so they accompanied their father to fish.
Without her brothers as a mouthpiece, she didn't have time to go back to her parents' house, and she didn't know anything about the situation at home.
Chen Jixin shook his head and whispered: "It's just noisy, I didn't do anything." Although the fifth sister-in-law is pregnant with a child, she is full of energy, Siya's words have just been said more fluently, and she can't understand a lot of scolding words, where is the opponent of the fifth sister-in-law. Everyone was there, and they were quickly coaxed away. However, quarrels can easily hurt feelings - enough to choke! ”
"Because of what?" Chen Xingling asked curiously: "Is there anything you can't say well?" The fifth sister-in-law is the youngest and more calculating, but she is still quite easy to get along with. ”
It's not that she brags, the sisters-in-law in the family are easy people to get along with.
The atmosphere at home is good, the parents are "well-governed", and the brothers are never biased towards their daughters-in-law. Thanks to the guidance of the elders and her husband, the sisters-in-law have always gotten along very well.
Chen Jixing sighed and explained: "It's all trivial. Siya doesn't know how to cook, so she often goes to her parents' place to eat. The fifth sister-in-law couldn't stutter, and when she saw that her parents always cared about Siya and didn't dare to argue with her parents, she always mocked Siya in a sour tone. Siya is not honest, where would she swallow her anger, so she quarreled directly with the fifth sister-in-law. ”
After hearing this, Chen Xingling found that it was indeed a trivial matter, so he didn't take it to heart.
"It turned out to be just a competition for favor. It's okay, just coax it over. Our parents are not eccentric people, you all know it, and several sisters-in-law also know it. The fourth sister-in-law has just come to our house, and it is also appropriate for parents to take care of the new daughter-in-law more. ”
Chen Jixing shook his head: "That being said, many of Siya's ideas and daily habits are too different from those at home. Fortunately, the family always turns a blind eye, otherwise they would have quarreled a long time ago. ”
"The land has been bought." Chen Xingling said: "You have agreed with your family that you will move to the east of the city after the construction site is completed, and they all know in their hearts that you will move out soon." Rest assured, they can endure it. ”
"Alas!" Chen Jixing was quite embarrassed, and whispered: "The family used to be so harmonious, but Siya was an outlier - no, it should be a special person who stirred it up, it seems that everything has changed." Therefore, we can't wait to get married for the New Year and move out immediately. ”
Chen Xingling nodded in understanding: "When the New Year is over, we will start work immediately." ”
"Can't...... Ahead of time? Chen Jixing smiled bitterly: "Try to be as fast as possible." If it's our brothers, it's no problem to fight and make trouble, and we can reconcile without talking when we turn around. But the sisters-in-law are different, and when they quarrel, the relationship will be stiff. Once there is a rift in the relationship, it will be difficult to repair it later. ”
Chen Xingling thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, I'll ask Master Mo to find a few workers, plus a few of you, to dig up the weeds and level the ground first." The place is very big, and it's almost the New Year after finishing it. ”
"Fifty acres of land!" Chen Jixing couldn't help but ask: "Just a dozen people?" Can it work? ”
Chen Xingling nodded: "I'll buy some good herbicides and spray them one by one first." After a few days, weeding and leveling should be done. ”
There are high-efficiency herbicides in the supermarket space, just take them out and follow the instructions, it shouldn't take much effort.
"Are you sure?" Chen Jixinghu asked: "Is more than a dozen workers enough?" ”
Chen Xingling explained: "We have very handy tools and shovels, and we can dig grass and level the ground very quickly. How? You still can't trust your own sister? ”
She had found a lot of good tools in the gardening tools in the supermarket space before, and Ma Dali had always praised them, and when she was finished, she put them under her desk and protected them well.
"Faith!" Chen Jixing laughed: "Even the vermicelli can be cooked so delicious!" If you can go to college, you can make a lot of money - now you are 180,000 proficient in all kinds of martial arts! ”
"If you don't come to this set, you have to give as much as you want!"
"Hey! I was just going to praise you! ”
"Kua Chenghua also has to pay for it."
"Hahaha!"
