Chapter 153: Mother-in-law's strength
Li Wenfeng really didn't have any photos in his hand, but Meng Yi was in a good mood today, so he still went to cook rice balls for him.
Anyway, there are a lot of rice balls brought by Shuxin's sister, and it won't be in the way to give him a few.
The Mu family next door also rose with curling smoke.
Today's dish is sauerkraut fish, the fish fillets have been marinated and flavorful, the fish bones are also split, fried until browned, and then add ginger slices, green onions, and the pickled pepper and sauerkraut bought in the morning to fry together, and then add water to boil.
The burnt fish bones render the fish soup into a thick milky white, and the sauerkraut is not to be outdone to dip its emerald green into it, and a pot of fish soup instantly boils a lovely golden color.
Shu Xin scalded the bean sprouts and vermicelli, took them out and put them in a small casserole, and began to scald the fish fillet.
The fillet was cut very thin by her, and a pot of fillets was put into the pot, but it only took a few minutes to gurgle and bubble.
Shu Xin took out the fish fillet and put it on top of the bean sprouts and vermicelli, poured the fish soup into it, put some minced garlic, dried chili pepper and Sichuan pepper on top, cooked a spoonful of hot oil, and the whole pot of Jintang sauerkraut fish Zrazra danced.
There were a few torrential rains a few days ago, and the rainwater filter at home had collected a lot of water, Mu Jianyun went to take a shower, watched the hot oil splash, and hurriedly protected his little daughter-in-law.
"I'll do it!"
Shu Xin wanted to get him two towels to pad, but seeing that his hands didn't seem to feel the heat, he didn't bother.
Mu Jianyun finished the sauerkraut fish, went to the pot to bring the rice, comfortably took out the remaining bayberry lychee in the refrigerator, and poured two cups.
It is a set of light cyan glazed slub cups.
This was given to her by Professor Meng when she left comfortably.
Mu Jianyun put the rice in front of his little daughter-in-law and listened to her muttering.
"Is it as obvious as what I like?"
"Huh?"
Shu Xin held the glass bamboo cup in his hand, and pouted puzzled.
"That's it! Do I like it as obviously? ”
"Nope!"
Mu Jianyun said yes, but a light smile gently spread on his lips.
When the little daughter-in-law sees something she likes, the light in her eyes can be brighter than the light bulb, it doesn't need to be obvious, as long as anyone who pays attention to her emotions can find out about her hobby.
"It's good if you don't have it!"
He nodded comfortably and appreciatively when he looked at the glass slub cup.
"I don't know where Sister Meng's mother-in-law is? It's so good to taste! My sister said that this glass slub cup was made by herself by drawing patterns and finding someone to burn it, and it really looks like a work of art! It should be expensive! ”
"Buy whatever you like! Here's to you!"
She was still immersed in amazement, and she had already stuffed two passbooks in her hand.
"What is this?"
Haven't Mu Jianyun's salaries and savings all been handed over to her? How can there be??
Comfortably look at these two passbooks, one new and one old, and open the new one first.
“880...”
Hearing her read out the amount, Mu Jianyun blushed a little,
"This is the bonus and dangerous mission subsidy from the last flood fight, and I gave some to the brothers, so there is not much left..."
The flood and flood fighting deeds were reported on Hong Kong Island, where the Haihai Provincial Chamber of Commerce remitted a large sum of money, partly for post-disaster reconstruction, and partly for commending flood-fighting heroes like Mu Jianyun.
Originally, it was given 3,000 yuan, but Mu Jianyun gave a large part of it to the brothers who were also injured in the flood fight, and allocated some to Xiao Zhang's salary (the child has to spend money to talk to), and there is only so much left.
Shu Xin didn't care much about that, and pushed the passbook over again.
"Divide it, divide it! There's so much left! I'll save this for you, and I'll send it to those sacrificed comrades at the end of the year! ”
Mu Jianyun only paid two-thirds of the salary to his little daughter-in-law every month, and he sent the remaining third to the homes of his deceased comrades-in-arms, and he already felt guilty about his little daughter-in-law.
"But..."
With a smile on the corner of his mouth,
"But what is it? Our family has money! ”
As he spoke, he opened another old passbook.
"Three... One, ten, hundred, thousand, thousand... Thirty thousand??? ”
Looking at the numbers in this passbook, Shu Xin's pupils were about to earthquake, squeezing Mu Jianyun's hand, and said in a panic,
"Where did you get all this money??"
Mu Jian held her hand with his backhand,
"Don't panic, this is what my uncle sent me today, saying that it was the manuscript fee for the books that my mother wrote in the past, and he was going to send it in person, but there is something temporary on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and it may be after the Dragon Boat Festival."
Shu Xin took a serious look, and the name written on the passbook was indeed her mother-in-law's name - Qiuhe.
In the past, she published a lot of books, and the manuscript fee has been accumulated until now.
In the past two years, the college entrance examination has been resumed, and the country's investment in education, especially foreign languages, has increased.
The uncle knew that his sister wrote these books for the purpose of "mastering the skills of the master to control the country", and he must be happy to see these books seen by more people, so he took the lead and sold the copyright.
"Oh my God! Mother-in-law is too powerful! ”
Shu Xin looked at the string of zeros on the passbook, and the admiration in his heart was incomprehensible.
She carefully put away the passbook.
When I thought that such a powerful woman as my mother-in-law might have died unexpectedly, my heart was even more sad.
As soon as I re-seated, the door was pushed open,
"It smells so good! Haven't eaten yet? It's just too late for me to come back! ”
Without waiting for anyone to be invited, Xiao Zhang hurriedly went to the stove room to add a pot of rice, and looked at his sister-in-law and the company commander with excitement on his face.
If a person can grow a tail, it is comfortable to feel that this guy can wag his tail when he sees food.
Fortunately, the uncle who knew how to fish gave him a lot of fish, otherwise he wouldn't have enough to eat.
Today, after Xiao Zhang followed Mu Jianyun to pick up people early in the morning, he took a boat to Huaning to find Xiaoqing.
In addition to bringing the recorded tape to Xiaoqing, he also took a lot of things back from the photo studio.
In addition to the free-range chickens that Aunt Li bought from the village, there are also soap molds, propaganda posters painted by Ye Lingling, and Hanfu made by Xiaoqing for her.
Next week, during the Dragon Boat Festival, Huaning County will hold a dragon boat competition, and Mu Jianyun and his company will represent the military region to participate.
Before she came back last time, she had already agreed with Aunt Li and them, and when the time came, she would set up a small stall next to them to promote a photo studio and a dim sum shop, and at that time, she said that everyone would wear Hanfu.
No formality, no dynasty.
But everyone felt that it was too strange and refused to agree.
In the end, she only drew a simple skirt style for Xiaoqing, and asked Xiaoqing to help her make a dress.
After Xiao Zhang left, he took a comfortable hot bath and took out the skirt to try it on.
