Chapter 164: Changing to Calling Mother



Gu Xiufang said this on purpose in order to take the blame on herself.

The family actually has enough oil, and they definitely have enough money to eat it. Jiang Zao just doesn't want to spend it: "If you want to eat it, just fry it. I'll wash it twice more, and then we'll marinate the fish and fry it."

If my mother wants to eat it, it will definitely be better if fried in oil.

It needs to be marinated before frying. Wash it and marinate it with green onion, ginger and thirteen spices for 5-10 minutes. After marinating, coat it with a mixture of flour and egg liquid, coat it and put it in the pan.

Heat up a pot of oil. The fish is relatively small and not that thick, so just enough oil to cover the fish. Fry it in several batches to save oil.

When the oil temperature was about the same, Jiang Zao put the fish in. The fish coated with batter was put into the oil pan and soon turned from light yellow to golden yellow. Crackling sounds came from the bottom of the pan and the fragrance rose from the bottom of the pan.

Gu Xiufang couldn't help swallowing just by smelling the fragrance.

I wanted to see him running back from playing with the old man and the old lady. As soon as I entered the yard, I smelled the fragrance: "Grandma, what are you having for dinner?"

When Huo Xiaoman was not around, the child played like crazy, and was covered in dirt every day. The little bun on his head was all blown out, his pants were hanging down and covered in dirt, and his clothes were black and white. He wiped his big nose with his sleeve and lay at the kitchen door, staring inside eagerly.

"Wow, what did Auntie do? It smells so good!"

I want to see her playing with her little feet on the door sill while she's talking.

The child's hands are relatively short, so Xiao Shuisheng ground his own long chopsticks into shorter pieces and gave them to Xiangbi to use, making it very convenient for Xiangbi to hold them.

Jiang Zao took out the chopsticks he wanted to look at, picked up a fried willow root fish and put it in the bowl: "Take it to the door and eat it. Be careful not to eat the fish bones."

Actually, you don't have to worry too much about this. She just wants to be very careful about what she eats (because Huo Xiaoman used to mix sand into her food in order to make her eat less).

She took the bowl and went to the door to eat.

The freshly fried willow root fish was so delicious. As she chewed and swallowed it, big bubbles of delicious snot came out.

Xiao Yetong and Xiao Ye'an were wandering at the door. When they saw that someone wanted to eat, Xiao Yetong pulled Xiao Ye'an and ran back home.

After returning home, the two siblings were a little unhappy and wanted to eat.

Ding Qiu caught them and was a little unhappy: "Why are you back just now? Come in and eat."

Although Xiao Yean is young, he is very talkative. He said to his grandmother, "What are you eating? Every time you wash the vegetables, you call us to eat. We have to wait for a long time when we come home. It doesn't seem like there is delicious food every time I go home."

"I wish I were Aunt Jiang Zao's child."

In the kitchen, Jiang Shan was busy cooking. There were leaves on her head, dry bark on her pants, and a hole in the front of her cloth shoes was burned by the fire, revealing a toe. When she heard Xiao Ye'an's words, she gritted her teeth viciously.

You bastard, just wait for me. I'll give you some of the medicine when it arrives.

You bastard, it’s good enough that you have something to eat. Why are you so picky?

Ding Qiu pulled the two children to the well to wash their faces and hands. The water in the first basin turned black, and it took a second basin to wash them clean.

Xiangdi, the classmate whom Xiao Ye'an envied, had already sat down to eat. He had two willow root fish and a bowl of eggplant, potato and rice, sprinkled with chopped green onion leaves, which made Xiangdi dazed.

Xiao Shuisheng picked up a willow root fish for Jiang Zao and ate it himself.

It was crispy and salty with just the right amount of crunch. The most satisfying thing was that the meal was made by his wife.

Coming home after a busy day to eat a meal cooked by your wife, is there anything more cost-effective than this?

Xiao Wensheng has performed quite well at the factory recently and received extra benefits: two bars of soap, two pairs of white gloves, and a bag of flour.

"Xiangdi and I won't need much, so we'll give you two a portion of the soapy water. We'll also give you the gloves, and we'll share the flour."

Not counting welfare benefits, he also pays ten yuan for food expenses to his family every month. He can definitely benefit from the vegetables, chickens and ducklings grown in the front and back gardens, and he pays more when it's time to eat.

A child without a mother definitely cannot rely on his father alone. Since his younger siblings are helping him, he should pay more since he is being taken care of so well.

I want to see him ignore the adults' business and just use his little spoon to scoop up rice to eat. His little face looks much chubbier.

Xiao Shuisheng knew what his brother cared about, so he said without hesitation: "Okay, I'll save money to buy things this month."

Working together, we enjoy every day.

On Sunday, Jiang Zao and Xiao Shuisheng took Xiangdi to the park for a stroll. There was a white duck-shaped boat in the park. Xiangdi had never been on one before, so the three of them, holding orange soda, sat on the little duck boat and wandered in the center of the lake.

The lake water has not been polluted by heavy industry and is very clear, reflecting the willow trees and small flowers on the shore. When the wind blows, the surface of the lake wrinkles, as if someone is kneading the lake surface with hands.

The temperature gradually rises, and the wind blows, bringing out the summer.

I want to sip the soda and have a mouth full of orange flavor.

"Burp~" He burped while holding the big glass bottle.

Before boarding the boat, Xiao Shuisheng bought a palm-leaf fan and slowly waved it beside Jiang Zao, his eyes deep: "Is it hot?"

A cool breeze blew slowly, pushing the summer heat aside. Jiang Zao opened his mouth and exhaled, "How can it be hot with you fanning me?"

While he was attracted by the flock of ducks on the lake, Xiao Shuisheng raised the banana fan and kissed Jiang Zao's rosy little mouth. He kissed her very delicately and even traced the protruding and plump lips of Jiang Zao with the tip of his tongue.

The touch on her lips felt tingling and numb, as if an electric current was passing through them. Jiang Zao was afraid of being seen, so she pushed him away and pressed her hand on his chest through the fabric, and was held by his big hand.

Xiao Shuisheng leaned back, looking serious as if nothing had happened. He was teaching at school, and who knew what stupid thing he had just done: "Behave yourself, be careful not to overturn the boat and fall off if you move around."

Jiang Zao: “…”

She has been wronged so much, why hasn’t it snowed yet?

She glared at Xiao Shuisheng fiercely, turned around and lay down on the side of the boat, closing her eyes to enjoy the breeze. Xiao Shuisheng couldn't help but chuckle behind her and continued to fan her with a fan.

It’s so comfortable, this is how summer should be spent.

After playing for an hour or so, we went home before the sun came up completely.

The three of them passed by the door of Old Man Xiao and his family and saw Qin Taoxian sitting inside washing clothes. Old Mrs. Xiao stood beside her and said, "Don't wash it. I'll wash it myself later."

It was impossible to stop her. Qin Taoxian came here on purpose to act like this. She rubbed her clothes while pushing back the hair that had fallen on her forehead with her hands: "Mom, I'm not tired. I'm your wife, and I should do these things."

No one stopped her here, and when Mrs. Xiao turned around, she found that Huang Wanqing was actually holding a basin and a rag to wipe the glass.

"Oh my God, it was just wiped. Don't wipe it anymore. Why bother to wipe it?" Old Mrs. Xiao is so old that there is nothing she doesn't understand. The other party is here to please them.

But she doesn't need it.

Xiao Qiang clutched a handful of fried soybeans and leaned against the doorframe. "Then let my mother and sister do the work. They're both very nice people, hardworking and kindhearted. You two old bones can save some energy. Just let them do any work!"
