Su Ruobai was not at home yesterday afternoon, and Aunt Xiao thought she had gone into the mountains and had not returned yet.
Anyway, she was not worried at all about her third daughter-in-law's affairs.
So I didn’t take it seriously.
This morning, Aunt Xiao picked up the potatoes she had harvested.
Put away the big ones.
The small one was put into the pot and cooked.
When it is fully cooked, take it out, cut it into thick slices, and dry it in the sun.
It can be kept for a long time.
Eat Dudu in winter.
Sometimes, either add some pork or a chicken.
Put them together and stew in a pot.
Oh, that's delicious.
The key is that potato chips taste better than meat.
In a big pot of stewed meat with dried potatoes, the dried potatoes are always the first to be eaten.
Thinking of this, Aunt Xiao worked even harder.
Her third daughter-in-law must like it.
Miss Xiao wanted to go and see her third daughter-in-law.
I don’t know what time you came back last night!
After packing up, Aunt Xiao came to Su Ruobai's courtyard with a basket of vegetables.
Knock on the door hard.
No movement.
Knocking on the door.
Still no movement.
Aunt Xiao was a little nervous.
Didn’t her precious baby come back last night, or did he go out again this morning?
Do you want to ask the old man to take a look?
Aunt Xiao, who had lost interest, paced around the door again and again.
I looked up inadvertently and found that the lock on the door was covered with a thin layer of dust.
At that time, Aunt Xiao stood still.
This, this has been a few days since you came back?
It will take at least two or three days.
Aunt Xiao became anxious and immediately went to find her husband.
We need to quickly mobilize the villagers to help look for it.
After walking a few steps, I saw a man coming down from the river bank.
He looks listless and has no energy.
He was holding something with a straw rope in his hand.
Aunt Xiao took a closer look and realized that this was her third daughter-in-law.
Looking closely, wow, there are several big fish in his hand.
He trotted a few steps and immediately took the thing from Su Ruobai's hand. Wow, it's so heavy.
At a rough glance, there are four of them, each weighing at least ten kilograms.
Aunt Xiao took it and couldn't lift it for a moment, and the fish fell to the ground.
One of them fell and was hurt, making a dying struggle.
Aunt Xiao didn't care about the fish and asked Su Ruobai in a concerned tone.
"Su, where were you yesterday? Jindan brought you some chicken and potatoes, but you weren't there. I saw the lock on your door was covered in dust. Where have you been these past few days?"
He took a good look at his third daughter-in-law, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with her except that her face looked a little pale.
"Su, what's wrong with you? Why are you so pale?"
Su Ruobai picked up the fish and took out two to give to Aunt Xiao.
"Mom, it's okay. I went fishing at the river these days. I go out early and come back late. I'm tired at night. I guess I can't hear you knocking on the door.
The dust on the lock probably came from yesterday. I didn't pay attention when I locked the door, and it fell to the ground. I guess it was there then.
Take this fish, I was just about to send it to you! Now you don’t need it. Keep one for yourself and give one to my second brother’s family.”
Last time, Xiao Yiyun braved the heavy rain to deliver something to him.
She has to remember the good things about others.
After hearing this, Aunt Xiao nodded repeatedly.
Just looking at Su Ruobai's little face with a look of heartache: "Su, don't get tired. We have plenty of food at home. Here, take this dish and fry it later."
Su Ruobai nodded obediently and reached out to take the basket.
"Okay, Mom, I understand. I'm going to the educated youth camp and ask Qian Huan to help me make a pot of fish soup."
Aunt Xiao wanted to say no, she could do it.
Later she thought that she couldn't be that kind of domineering mother-in-law.
This is the daughter-in-law's own business, she can do whatever she wants.
Then he smiled and nodded, "Okay, give money when it's due, give things when it's due, we can't owe favors to others!"
I regretted it as soon as I said it.
Why are you getting involved again?
Think about what those people in the county said, the new era, the new mother-in-law, who is determined not to interfere in their small family.
Aunt Xiao quickly said, "I'm going home first, you should go back later too.
