Holding a Space in the 60s: A Nest of Seven Babies, Five Soldiers

Zhang Siyu was involved in a car accident. When she opened her eyes again, she was in a small fishing village in the 1960s, as Cheng Zhenzhu, a widow single-handedly raising three children.

Chapter 152 Cooking a Meal

"Liu Tiao, what are you eating?" Cheng Zhenzhu heard the voice, narrowed her eyes slightly, and straightened the little guy's head.

The six little guys made an "oh" sound with their eyes wide open, and had a guilty expression on their faces as if they had been caught.

"Oh, he's eating. I didn't even notice." Zhao Fangrui was stunned for a moment and couldn't help laughing. "This kid is a glutton."

"Wow, he ate a lot." Cheng Zhenzhu looked at the half-eaten glutinous rice noodle and held her forehead in frustration. Little Liu Tiao was really quick with his hands and feet, and his "chi chi" mouth was also very powerful...

"Okay, I don't want to eat anymore." Cheng Zhenzhu took the six glutinous rice noodles in her hand and ate them all in front of him.

"Woo~" Liu Tiao looked aggrieved. He only got half of it and had to chew it for a long time before biting off a little bit.

"This is too hard, you can't eat it." Cheng Zhenzhu laughed and gave Liu Tiao a small piece of peach cake, asking him to lick the crumbs.

Zhao Fangrui looked at the baby sitting in her second daughter's arms, eating obediently, and asked, "You said he was nine months old when he came to your place. So he didn't drink milk for nine months?"

Cheng Zhenzhu shook her head. "Liu Tiao vomits easily when drinking milk, so I didn't bother to do anything about it. I just fed him egg custard, fish soup, vegetable porridge, etc. He likes apples, so I scrape some for him when I have them."

"It's pitiful for this child. He's only a few months old, without a father or mother, and he doesn't even have milk to drink..."

"Guoguo~" When Liu Tiao heard his mother say apple, he raised his head with shining eyes.

"This kid." Zhao Fangrui laughed. "Six, calling grandma. Grandma bought apples."

"Oh, damn~" Liu Tiao looked at Zhao Fangrui, pointing his fingers.

Seeing that Zhao Fangrui seemed to want to hold Liu Tiao, Cheng Zhenzhu stuffed the baby into her arms and went to call someone to take a bath.

Cheng Zhenyu took the lead and let her third daughter go to the bathroom to take a bath by herself.

Sanni was a bit reluctant to wash, so her two sisters finally helped her. After washing, she put on some clean clothes, looking quite proud. She glanced at her brothers who were having fun, then left her two sisters and strolled out into the yard...

After the third daughter finished bathing, Cheng Zhenyu took another bath herself, and then followed Zhao Jiawang to take a bath.

Wang Xiaomei waited for her sister-in-law and her family to finish washing, then quickly gave Xiao Huzi a bath and changed his clothes before cooking...

There were so many people, and they probably didn't eat well in the car, so Cheng Zhenzhu steamed six pounds of rice. The duck was already stewed, and there was a chicken, which she planned to stir-fry with black fungus. She also had three fish: one boiled, one braised, and the remaining one fried. She also scrambled two pounds of meat with eggs, chili peppers, and other items.

Kelp and bone soup is a must, and a plate of prawns is perfect.

"Isn't this too much? How much does this meal cost?" Zhao Fangrui wasn't one to be frugal, but she was still shocked by her second daughter's behavior. She remembered that her second daughter was always frugal...

"Not much. There are so many of us. We have a food factory on the island now. We have chickens and ducks. Fish, shrimp, kelp, etc. are almost free. Bones, you know, are cheap."

"What about the meat?"

"The meat was bought yesterday. It will go bad if we don't eat it now." Cheng Zhenzhu replied.

"Pearl, we still have to live frugally these days. The 1,200 yuan you have is too much to spend." Zhao Fangrui couldn't help but worry. When did her second daughter become as extravagant as her eldest daughter?

"Mom, I know. Don't worry, I have a plan. Aren't you happy to have me here?" Cheng Zhenzhu sliced ​​the fish, marinated it, and set it aside. It was almost time to cook.

Zhao Fangrui heard her daughter cooking, the sizzling and swooshing sounds coming from her, and couldn't help but stand up and watch while holding Liu Tiao. "Yeah, it's like your dad cooking."

Cheng Fugui was strolling in the yard when he heard someone enter the kitchen. "What are you talking about?"

"My dad is a great chef and my cooking skills can't catch up with him." Cheng Zhenzhu took the fried chicken with black fungus out of the wok and started to make braised fish.

Cheng Fugui looked at the shiny, colorful fried chicken with black fungus, then glanced at his second daughter, who looked quite stylish, and nodded, "She looks about three or four times as good as me..."

Cheng Zhenzhu smiled, brought over a steamer, and placed the stir-fried chicken and wood ear mushrooms in the rice steamer to warm them. After finishing the braised fish, she began to boil the fish. After cooking a few fish, Cheng Zhenzhu used two pounds of meat to make a large bowl of "Farmer's Delicious."

"Cool~" Peng Sandiao smelled the fragrance, ran into the kitchen happily, and hugged his mother's thighs and acted coquettishly.

Immediately afterwards, several little heads appeared at the kitchen door.

Everyone is here except Sanni.

"Mom, it smells so good!" Peng Ertiao's nose twitched.

Cheng Zhenzhu waved to the little kids and fed each of them a chopstick-full of meat.

Before Peng could even swallow a piece of meat, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Delicious!"

Seeing his brothers and sisters eating with relish, Liu Tiao started to move his upper body and began to scoop food from the bowl with both hands.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't catch it, and his little mouth was crying.

"I'll give you some soup later." Cheng Zhenzhu nodded in satisfaction and put the dishes into the steamer.

After tasting the delicious slices of meat, Zhao Dani and Zhao Erni suddenly realized Sanni wasn't there. Sanni was always the most enthusiastic about eating, so why hadn't she come? Panic-stricken, the two sisters hurried to look for her. They found a bedraggled Sanni at the gate.

"Sanni, where have you been? Why are you so dirty?" asked Zhao Dani.

Zhao Sanni wanted to say she saw the kids next door playing with something on the street, so she grabbed it and got hit. But she was afraid her mother would punish her, so she changed her story and said she fell. But she was still punished by her mother...

"You are the only one who falls. Why didn't your two sisters see you fall? Who will help you wash? Go wash it yourself later..." Cheng Zhenyu couldn't stand dirt, so she scolded while changing clothes.

This girl is such a worry! Why did she send her to her mother-in-law to be raised for the sake of ease? She is the one who suffers in the end after raising her like this!

"Wow, I want to go home! I don't want to be here anymore, I want to go home!" Zhao Sanni was already feeling wronged because she was beaten, and now she was being scolded by her mother. Zhao Sanni couldn't stand it anymore.

"Okay, I'll take you back now!"
