Chapter 22: Making Dumplings (2)
"Okay, don't talk so much, hurry up and make dumplings!"
Orchid couldn't stay in the house anymore, and when she heard a ding-dong sound coming from the kitchen, she hesitated: "Oh, when will this be born, it's not a way to let my mother-in-law cook all day long?" No, I'm going to take a look, is there anything I need help with? ”
Orchid walked into the kitchen wearing a shirt with blue flowers on a white background, and said with a smile: "Mom, this is making dumplings, how can you not let Huahua call her daughter-in-law for such a troublesome thing?" ”
Wei Ran glanced at her daughter-in-law: "Look at you, what are you doing in the house, what are you doing running out, and you are still wearing such thin clothes, what if you catch a cold?" ”
Orchid had already thought of the lines to deal with her mother-in-law, and grinned: "Mom, staying in the house all day, I'm also bored, listening to the next door, I can't lie down all the time when I'm pregnant, my grandmother's era is still cutting wheat in the field when she is pregnant?" ”
"Okay, don't talk about so many useless things, Huahua, go get a coat for your sister-in-law to put on!" Huahua put down the work in her hand and hurriedly ran out.
Orchid washed her hands, began to sit on the stool, making dumplings, she used chopsticks to pick up a little meat filling, and her eyes widened in surprise: "Oh, damn this meat filling is so fine, it still smells so good?" ”
"You and Huahua have discussed it, do you want my cooking skills to stay on the same line forever?"
Zhang Huahua took a coat, draped it on the orchid, pulled a stool, and began to make dumplings.
In the hall, Old Man Zhang hesitated: "Tell me, why did your mother go to the backer, this matter was forgotten, this Jiang family's mother-in-law actually rode on our heads and shit, I really thought that our old couple had no one to take care of or something, but your mother went to make trouble this time, so that the people in the two villages said that my old Zhang family has no one!" ”
Zhang Qiang and Old Man Zhang have a lot of topics, at this time, Zhang Qiang was afraid that his grandfather would be angry with his mother, so he said: "Grandpa, don't be angry, my mother is different now than before, she said, our old Zhang family does not lack this food, but, in order to give you and my milk to fight for a breath, she must this food!" What is said is reasonable, the people of the Jiang family have nothing to say, and even the old men in the backing mountain tun admire my mother and say it right! ”
When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she quickly put down the needle and thread in her hand: "Really? Zhang Qiang, is that really what your mother said? Oh, my God, your mother can finally stand by my side and talk to your master, hurry up, I want to thank God! ”
Zhang Qiang nodded confirmatively: "What's not to believe in this, didn't my mother let me buy meat and eat dumplings as soon as I came back?" My mother said, be kind to your grandma in the future, your second uncle's white-eyed wolf doesn't recognize your grandma, we must help your father be filial to your grandma! ”
Old man Zhang decisively didn't want to mention the things that went to Jiang's house this time, but on the contrary, he was happed by Zhang Qiang's flickering: "Okay, good, our old Zhang family finally has someone who stands in the way, okay!" ”
In the kitchen, there was no ding-dong sound at this moment, but a burst of giggling laughter was heard from time to time.
"Mom, Aunt Liu's Yinxia is very good at talking, last time I said to borrow her shovel to use it, guess what she said about that Yinxia?"
Wei Ran glanced at Huahua: "If you have anything to say, it's not the style of our old Zhang family!" ”
"Mom, she actually said that she doesn't have a shovel at home, I obviously saw her digging herbs with a shovel, but she didn't, she obviously didn't want to lend it to us!"
Wei Ran pondered for a while: "By the way, right now, we should plant all the grain on the ground, and then you will be like Yinxia, dig up a wild vegetable, dig a herb or something, earn some pocket money, and buy you some face oil, isn't it great?" ”
Orchid took a dumpling, compared it with Wei Ran, and was surprised to find: "Mom, why are the dumplings you wrap so small, they weren't very big before, and you said that you only wrap straw hats, now, are the dumplings really full of tricks?" ”
Orchid interrupted the topic, and Huahua took it over again: "Mom, the work in this field, in previous years, it was you and my brother, and this year it is you and my brother, the difference is that the second uncle's family is gone, and there is no white food at home!" ”
"That's a good thing, if you don't eat white food at home, you have to work harder, tomorrow I'll find Lao Liu next door and see if you're willing to farm for our family?"
Orchid paused: "Mom, Lao Liu next door, forget it, there are artemisia seeds growing in my own field, how can you go to help us farm the land, don't go, if you ask him, it is better to let my grandfather go to plough the land, anyway, our family also has two cows, it is not rare for their family." ”
This Lao Liu, who is Aunt Liu's man, is also lazy in the village on weekdays, holding a smoking pot every day, shopping in the east and swaying in the west, in short, he is an idle person who has nothing to do.
Zhang Qiang came in at this time, saw a board of dumplings on the board, and rubbed his hands happily: "Mom, don't worry about this matter, I'll discuss it with grandpa, no matter what, I can't let Mom Qiang come out!" ”
"Otherwise, I'm waiting for you to help make dumplings, is the daylily cold?" Zhang Hua said jokingly.
Wei Ran said to his son: "Okay, you go and pound the garlic!" ”
Zhang Qiang went out with the garlic jar.
Wei Ran squatted down and stuffed some firewood into the stove, and the red flames suddenly jumped up, and water was poured into the pot, and after the water boiled, the dumplings could be cooked.
Orchid sat for a long time, got up and moved, and when she saw the uncomfortable appearance of her second daughter-in-law, she said: "Okay, you go out, there is nothing for you to do now, wait in the yard to eat." ”
Orchid didn't expect that since her mother-in-law was beaten by the Cao family, she was like a different person, especially taking special care of her, which made Orchid's heart very unhappy, in her heart, she said silently: "I hope this baby is a male baby, so that my mother-in-law can be happy!" ”
The dumplings were cooked, Zhang Qiang pounded the garlic, Wei Ran made another garlic water, sprinkled a little chili pepper and coriander on it, and instructed Zhang Qiang: "Okay, let's prepare to serve rice, and by the way, call your grandma to eat!" ”
Zhang Qiang sniffed the dumplings in the bowl, squinted his eyes and said, "Mom, it's so fragrant, my saliva is about to fall out!" ”
"You give me care, don't let your saliva fall into the bowl!"
