Chapter Thirty-Eight: Surprise! Starch was introduced
Jianghu stared at the movements in the hands of the sister-in-law without blinking, and after seeing this scene, he even said that he was surprised, "It's amazing, it turns out that starch is used like this." My sister-in-law has too many ideas in her head. You can think of it. ”
Gu Xia accepted the worship of his second brother, put a bowl of tofu brain in his hands, and poured the newly improved salty marinade. beckoned Jiang Yi, who was still chopping wood, "Don't do it, come over and drink a bowl of hot bean curd." ”
"Great!" The lines on Jiang Yi's face, which was originally tense, suddenly softened a little. A few big strides walked in front of his daughter-in-law.
Jiang Yi took the bean curd, turned around and took another spoon, and fed the first spoon to his daughter-in-law's mouth, "Daughter-in-law eat." ”
Gu Xia enjoyed the feeding of her father-in-law, and also fed her father-in-law a spoonful with a conscience, "It's delicious, and the father-in-law also eats." ”
The two of you feed each other one by one, Jiang Hai came out and wanted to go to the thatched house, and when he saw the scene of the eldest brother and sister-in-law being close, he was stunned and held back his urine, turned around and went back to the house, as if he didn't see anything.
Jianghu did it himself, drank half a bowl of salty bean curd, satisfied the appetite, and then came to the eldest brother and sister-in-law, and the excited voice was a little louder than usual, "Sister-in-law, this salty marinade is added with starch, the taste is not too good, and the marinade is more delicious and silky." This is not more popular with the villagers, why worry about not earning silver taels. ”
His sudden appearance, Gu Xia was quite embarrassed, and he didn't continue to feed him in the same referendum, keeping a certain distance from him, which was a little embarrassing.
Jiang Yi glared at the second brother with a straight face, and said angrily, "If it's delicious, you can eat more, and you can't stop your mouth if you eat." ”
Gu Xia and the three of them all got up early, and before Jiang Mu and the two little ones got up, Gu Xia made a good face. This time, it's all white noodles. I've always eaten multigrain noodles, and when I earn money, I want to improve my food for everyone.
The day before yesterday, she squeezed a barrel of oil and left some lard residue, just enough to wrap a meal of meat buns. "Xianggong, I remember that on the day I got married, the people from the village who came to drink the wedding wine gave radishes. Where do you put the turnips? I'm going to get two of them and chop the stuffing. ”
"The radish is in the cellar, daughter-in-law, don't move, I'll go get it." Jiang Yi asked, turned around and took out two radishes from the cellar.
Mother Jiang also got up at this time, and the two little ones were still sleeping.
"Xiao Xia, why don't you sleep more, and get up so early." Mother Jiang is embarrassed, she is used to sleeping lazily, and she has a few filial sons, and she was weak before she was added, and she didn't need to do the work at home.
The eldest daughter-in-law gets up early to work, and her mother-in-law is very unhappy.
"Mother, I go to bed early and wake up early. But you have to put two little ones to sleep at night, and sleep late. In addition, children love to sleep and are not honest. I think you can't sleep at night, and you should sleep more in the morning. Gu Xia was a smart person, and she could see her mother-in-law's embarrassment at a glance, so she hurriedly helped find an excuse.
Her mother-in-law loves her very much, and she is not as domineering and caretaking as other mothers-in-law. She is in charge of everything at home, and she is very supportive of whatever she does.
It's just a little later than she started, and she doesn't care about that.
In her eyes, her mother-in-law is open-minded and has a good personality, and she is a rare good mother-in-law.
Mother Jiang was deeply moved, her daughter-in-law was a caring and good girl who couldn't be found with a lantern, and married her best eldest son. She was relieved.
Mother Jiang took the initiative to snatch the job from Gu Xia's hands, and said that she would peel the radish for her.
Jiang's mother used to be delicate and used to it, and she was not good at work, just out of the psychology of helping her daughter-in-law.
In fact, she works very slowly, peeling a radish to her fingers.
She was afraid that her daughter-in-law would say that she was useless, so she didn't dare to make a sound, her fingers were connected to her heart, and her eyes were red because of the pain in a small bite.
The dough has already been served, just waiting for the two radishes to chop the filling.
Gu Xia waited for a while, to be honest, she was a little anxious, she was a cool character.
She leaned in front of Jiang's mother, thinking about seeing how her mother-in-law peeled the radish skin, it would be so slow.
It didn't matter what she saw, she was startled, she saw her mother-in-law squatting on the ground, her eyes were red, she was clutching her fingers, and she didn't say a word, and there were blood stains on the ground.
Gu Xia suddenly felt distressed, "Mother, did you cut your hand?" Get up and let me see, don't crouch there. Your fingers are bleeding, why don't you squeak? ”
"It doesn't matter, it's just a small injury. If you come a little late, I'm afraid you'll be all well. Mother Jiang was helped up by her daughter-in-law, knowing that her daughter-in-law cared about her, and her heart was moved. My hand didn't hurt that much.
"Mother should take care of her body, even if it is a small wound, she can't be careless. Mother is waiting here, I have homemade band-aids in my medicine box. It is specially used to bandage wounds on the fingers. I'll go back and get it for you. After Gu Xia finished speaking, he turned around and went back to the house in a hurry.
She took a band-aid and came back, and the three brothers of the Jiang family all gathered around their mother-in-law for a lot of concern.
When the three brothers saw Gu Xia coming, they all consciously made way for her.
Gu Xia didn't care about talking to the three of them, so he stepped forward to detoxify his mother-in-law's wound and put a band-aid on it.
Several people had never seen a band-aid, so they couldn't help but look at it a few more times and feel surprised. Knowing that Gu Xia had a lot of ideas and superb medical skills, and the band-aids were made by her, she didn't ask too much.
"Xiao Xia, your band-aid is so good, it won't hurt to put it on. Hurry up and give your mother a few more, and your mother will peel and cut her fingers, and then you can bandage it yourself. Don't bother you. Jiang Mu said happily. I don't have the uncomfortable pain in my fingers before.
Gu Xia was speechless when he was "......", and he didn't know what to say?
"Mother, don't touch the knife in the future, cut your fingers and bleed, and the whole family is worried. My son's heart doesn't resist your fear. Jianghu said fearfully.
His family's knife was just sharpened by the eldest brother a few days ago, and it was very sharp. He was afraid that his mother would shave her fingers off with some more force.
"Mother, it's not an accident this time! Take the knife a few more times to familiarize yourself, and you won't be able to cut your hands. Jiang Mu replied unconvinced.
"Isn't my mother proficient in embroidery? That mother's hand is the hand of the embroidery girl, but it is very valuable. In the future, don't do these rough jobs, take care of your hands, embroider when you are really idle, and do what your mother is good at. Gu Xia persuaded at the right time.
Mother Jiang was still a little guilty that she was useless in this family and became a drag on the family.
On the way to exile, if it weren't for the third child to protect her, he wouldn't have lost his legs.
If it weren't for her perennial bedriddenness, all the money the boss earned from hunting would be used to treat her and get medicine. The life of the family will not be destitute.
Now the daughter-in-law actually said that her hands are precious, and they are the hands of the embroiderers. She couldn't say that she wasn't touched in her heart, and she found a trace of value in this home.
"Xiao Xia Niang made you a new pair of shoes, and the mother gave them to you after dinner."
The cloth that her daughter-in-law bought before, she took the job to make clothes for several sons, and after the clothes were cut to a good size, she had to sew and embroider a few patterns.
She put it aside, and instead used the rest of the fabric to make the upper of her daughter-in-law's shoes. First of all, I made her a new pair of shoes.
