Chapter 18: Sister Rourou
"Sister Rourou?"
Zhou Li'an called out with some uncertainty.
It's really in the memory of the person in front of you and the original owner, and the difference is too great.
In the memory of the original owner, Zhang Rourou has always been a gentle and gentle girl.
She looks beautiful, and she smiles warmly and beautifully.
It's like nowโ
The temperament around him is gloomy, and his face is so thin that he is skinny, and there are many bruises on that face.
With a pair of eyes that look lifeless, it is shocking to watch.
Seeing the injury on Zhang Rourou's face, Zhou Li'an didn't have to stare at the other party's wrist.
Ninety-nine percent of the bruises on the wrists were injuries.
"Xiao An?"
Zhang Rourou's gaze stayed on Zhou Li'an's face for a while before she seemed to recognize her.
"It's me."
After Zhou Li'an finished speaking, he put down the bucket in his hand and was about to pull the other party: "Sister Rourou, get up first." โ
As a result, Zhou Li'an's hand had not touched Zhang Rourou yet, and was dodged by the other party.
Zhang Rourou dodged Zhou Li'an's touch, then got up from the ground in three or two times, and then quickly ran away.
Zhou Li'an frowned slightly, and subconsciously ran a few steps behind.
While running, they also called each other's names.
The more she screamed, the faster the other party ran.
Zhou Li'an had no choice but to stop.
She was sure that the other party didn't want to see her at this time.
Zhou Li'an stood in place for a while before continuing her water delivery work.
When she arrived at the place, she saw several people working in an orderly manner from a distance.
Lay the foundation of the foundation, and transport the earth bricks of the earth.
"Uncle Cheng, I'll bring you something to drink."
After Zhou Li'an approached, he stopped Uncle Cheng and said.
"Let's put it somewhere first, we'll drink when we're tired."
"Okay."
Zhou Li'an found a clean place and put down the bucket and bowl he brought.
Seeing that Zhou Li'an had put his things away, Uncle Cheng and Zhou Li'an confirmed the details of the house before letting Zhou Li'an leave.
When Zhou Li'an came home, it was just a little past an hour.
She scooped up the pig's head in the pot and deboned it while it was hot.
After cleaning up the pig's head, Zhou Li'an began to prepare dishes again.
When peeling the potatoes, Zhou Li'an also set aside a trace of his mind to plan the afternoon's trip.
She was going up the mountain in the afternoon to pick some mushrooms and come back.
It's mushroom picking season, and you can add a dish when you pick them.
After going up the mountain, she can also pick up some firewood by the way.
She has space, and she has to come back full of harvest when she goes out.
When Zhou Li'an was cutting potatoes, he thought that there were pheasants and hares on the mountain.
To tell the truth, Zhou Li'an is greedy for these two things, but in the end, he knows that these two things are not easy to get, so he has to give up regretfully.
ยท
Zhou's mother did what she said, and came back from work early today to help Zhou Li'an cook.
It's just that when she came back, Zhou Li'an had already done most of the things and was making braised pork and stewed potatoes.
Zhou Li'an cut the two catties of pork belly into small pieces, put it in a pot under cold water, and added green onion and ginger wine to remove the smell.
Bring the water to a boil, skim off the floating powder, scoop up the meat, and fry it directly.
Fry until golden brown on all sides, then scoop up again.
Add rock sugar to the oil and stir-fry the sugar color, and after each piece of pork belly is fried with sugar, add spices, soy sauce and water to simmer.
When it's almost time to get out of the pot, add the potato wedges and cook them.
Zhou's mother looked at Zhou Li'an's series of actions, and praised with a smile: "My daughter is really capable. โ
Zhou Li'an: "......"
The elder's straightforward praise made her a little embarrassed.
Zhou Li'an rolled his eyes and said, "The most capable thing for your daughter is to find you, a mother who is good all the time." โ
Now I'm embarrassed to change my mother.
Zhou Li'an put the lid on the pot, thought of what happened this morning, and said to Zhou's mother: "Mom, I saw Sister Rourou today, do you have any recent news about her?" โ
Soon after Zhang Qiaoli got married, the original owner began to accumulate depression and didn't care about many things outside.
In addition, the original owner got married later, and then Lu Yanzhou had an accident, and the original owner had no energy to care.
Hearing her daughter ask like this, Zhou's mother was rarely silent for a while before answering: "She is married, and she is still married from our village." โ
"Speaking of which, you will be neighbors in the future."
Zhou's mother looked at Zhou Li'an and said: "There was a family before the back mountain, although it is some distance away from the place where you built the house, but it is also a neighbor, she is the family she married, but that family came later, and there is not much contact with the people in the village, so I don't know what people are like." โ
"Why haven't I seen Sister Rourou before?"
Zhou's mother was helpless: "During the time she got married, you didn't go out much, plus the girl always walked around us when she saw us, so naturally you haven't seen it." โ
In the end, Zhou's mother sighed deeply: "It's also evil." โ
To say that this Zhang Rourou is the sister-in-law candidate in the hearts of Zhou's mother, the original owner and the eldest brother himself.
In the memory of the original owner, the eldest brother and Zhang Rourou liked each other when they were still in school.
The eldest brother originally thought that when he reached the marriageable age, he would find someone to go to the Zhang family to propose marriage.
No one thought that there would be an accident when proposing marriage, and Zhang Qiaoli would be killed halfway.
Don't be famous, take off your clothes and pounce on your eldest brother with a dead face.
Zhou Li'an thought about it, and told Zhou's mother about the injuries on Zhang Rourou's face and body today.
"I suspect that they are abusive."
Zhou's mother groaned: "I didn't know that family had such a problem." โ
After speaking, Zhou's mother sighed again: "You will be over there in the future, pay more attention to yourself, and if you can, take care of that child more." โ
Other than that, Zhou's mother couldn't think of what they could do.
The Zhou family does not allow domestic violence.
But in these days, domestic violence is not uncommon in other people's homes.
Zhou's mother is not used to domestic violence, but she can't do anything, so she can only restrain her son not to allow domestic violence.
"That's all there is to it for the time being."
This sentence is Zhou Li'an's response to Zhou's mother saying to take care of it more.
Although I knew that Zhang Rourou was beaten, this was also someone else's business, so it was not good to meddle rashly, so I could only wait to learn more about the situation.
ยท
After lunch was ready, Father Zhou and Brother Tuesday went to call Uncle Cheng and others to eat at home.
There were six people who repaired the house, and if they couldn't sit at one table, they simply sat separately.
Uncle Cheng and the others were a little surprised when they saw the dishes.
Although I have been entertaining people with good things these years, it is really rare to be able to take out two meat dishes at once.
In these years, depending on whether people value you or not, you will know it by having a meal.
Faced with such a dish, the people who came with Uncle Cheng decided that they must work hard when they go back and strive to build the strongest adobe house in the village.
Originally, Uncle Cheng and the others still thought that the food was so good, they would eat less.
When I ate it, I found it to be delicious.
The red meat melts in your mouth, and the potatoes in the broth are full of meat.
Stir-fried green pepper with pork head meat is even more rice.
By the time they reacted, the food on the table had already been eaten.
When I left after eating, I was once again determined to build the strongest adobe house possible.
There are more people eating, and there are naturally more dishes and chopsticks.
Zhou's mother screamed at Zhang Qiaoli, who wanted to sneak back to the house, "Where to run, wash the dishes for me!" โ
When I ate, I didn't see her eat less, so I couldn't stop working.
Zhang Qiaoli, who was called, had to go into the kitchen to wash the dishes, and Zhou Li'an and Zhou's mother were still cleaning up the empty dishes in the yard.
Zhang Qiaoli looked at the more and more dishes and chopsticks in the pot, frowned and said: "There are so many empty bowls and plates, I don't know how much firewood is used when cooking, and I haven't seen her pick one up and come back, and work with our whole family to repair the house for her." โ
Zhang Qiaoli was just unwilling to wash so many dishes, and habitually began to find faults, but she didn't expect that just this sentence would lead to unacceptable consequences.
