In fact, her ear didn't hurt much, but Song Jiayu still pretended to be in pain. It wasn't very painful to begin with, and Zhao Qiuqin loosened her grip even more.
"Mom, these are what Jiang Baizhou wants to buy. I have persuaded him, otherwise there would be more." Song Jiayu looked aggrieved.
"Are you two going to live a good life in the future? You spend the money recklessly. The county is not like our village. We can live without starving in Lushan Village. Everything in the county requires money and tickets. How are you going to live in the future with your extravagant spending?" Zhao Qiuqin wanted to bring the two of them to have a few lessons.
Song Jiayu climbed onto her mother's shoulders, punched her a few times, and said, "Mom, it's just this one wedding," and after that, you won't be able to control or see me anymore when I move to the county compound.
"There's a gift from Jiang Baizhou for you inside~" It's obviously something from the check-in system, but I can't tell anyone about it.
"Let's stew the pork elbow tonight." I want to eat meat, woooo.
The words sounded good at first, but at the end, Zhao Qiuqin stood up and said, "You're trying to fool me. You only think about eating. Have you ever taken what I just said to heart?"
Song Jiayu blinked, looking innocent. "Mom, look at everyone in the family, they're all eager to eat meat. Besides, we're going to stew the pork elbow on the wedding day. Don't let it go bad on that day. If we really cook it that day, everyone will rush to eat it, and we won't be able to eat much. So why don't we stew it tonight~ Okay~"
"...Okay, I really owe you guys, so let's eat it tonight." Zhao Qiuqin couldn't stand this the most. It would make her feel like she was floating in the air all day long. So later, when she saw her daughter and son-in-law getting along, she had to say that her daughter was worthy of being her daughter, and she fell for this.
Song Beiwang, who had been waiting, cheered: "Eating pork elbows! I have never eaten pork elbows in my life. I have only seen pig pork elbows."
Tonight's dinner was prepared by Ms. Zhao Qiuqin. After her sister-in-law finished using the kitchen, she came in carrying the pork elbow with the fur removed, which attracted Wei Meihua's attention several times.
In the kitchen, pork elbows were being stewed with the few spices available. The aroma of meat wafted out. Wei Meihua, who had returned to her room, started cursing, "What kind of people are you? They're my second brother and his wife. We just separated, and you don't even consider my eldest brother and his wife family? You can't even have a bite of meat? You insist on waiting until I'm done cooking before you go. What a vicious mind."
Seeing his daughter Song Xiulan, he couldn't help but vent his anger: "This is the marriage you absolutely don't want. Look at your second uncle's family, they are like dead during the New Year, and Jiayu got those things for nothing."
Song Xiulan's heart ached when she heard this. She consoled herself mentally while trying to persuade her mother, "Now is the moment, Mom. We need to see how long Jiang Baizhou's body can hold out. Maybe he'll die of an illness this winter."
She still remembered that Jiang Baizhou fell seriously ill in the winter of that year. He took good care of himself for four months and did not fully recover until the beginning of the next spring. All the savings in the family were spent on this illness.
The aroma of the pork elbow filled the entire courtyard of the Song family. The old couple of the Song family and the eldest family in the main room ate their steamed buns and burnt pickled cabbage, attracted by the aroma.
The pork elbow, stewed in a large pot over a firewood fire in the countryside, was not only well-seasoned, but also had a chewy, soft, and tender skin, while the meat inside was also very delicious. The elbow was served on the table without breaking. Zhao Qiuqin used only a little force with her chopsticks, easily removing the bone from the elbow and dividing it into several small pieces. She filled a small bowl with half a bowl of meat and a spoonful of broth, and instructed, "Beiwang, take this to your grandparents."
"Okay."
Song Beiwang quickly got down from the ground with the bowl in hand. He ran out so fast that Zhao Qiuqin was frightened by the way he almost fell. She warned him loudly, "Don't run! If you drop the meat or break the bowl, don't come back to eat the meat."
This threat was more effective for Song Beiwang than a beating. He stopped running and walked slowly, carefully holding the bowl in his hand. By then, the people from the main room had already gone back to their rooms, leaving only the two elders. When they saw their grandson come in, they were stunned for a moment, "Beiwang, why are you here?"
"Grandpa, Mom said this bowl of pork elbow is for you and grandma to nourish your body. I have to go back to eat. I'm leaving first."
After saying that, he ran away impatiently. The small bowl of meat could only be looked at and smelled but not eaten. Song Beiwang's heart had long been hooked by the aroma of the elbow meat.
In the main hall, Old Mrs. Song swallowed her saliva, but she was concerned about her eldest son: "Old Song, should we call the eldest son's family over?"
Old Man Song shook his head, pointing at the small bowl, and said, "Look at this bowl of meat. Can we and the eldest brother's family each have a piece of meat? It's obvious that the second brother's family gave it to us just for the two of us. If you invite the eldest brother's family over, next time there's more, will the second brother's family give it to us?"
The desire for meat took over, and Mrs. Song said, "Okay, then only the two of us can eat it."
Wei Meihua was leaning against the window in her room, waiting for the old lady to call for help. But a few minutes passed, and the main hall seemed to be as calm as if nothing had happened. Song Quanqing knew the old man well, and knew that if he didn't call for help at first, he would call for help after a while. Seeing Wei Meihua eagerly waiting for meat, he was annoyed and scolded her, "Have you never eaten meat? Don't get in my way! Don't wait any longer, it's useless!"
"In the past, any good things would always be thought of in our family. Now that we've split up, it's still the same." Wei Meihua sat down on the kang on the other side.
Song Quanqing was annoyed: "You ask me, who should I ask?"
That night, Song Jiayu brought a seven-foot-long piece of blue cloth to Song's parents' room. After much persuasion, she finally got them to agree to use the cloth to make two tops for her wedding day.
After returning to the room and falling asleep, I took another farming class. The old village chief taught me how to choose seeds, how to grow seedlings, and to what extent to fertilize the land so that the land would be fertile without burning the crops.
After four tiring hours, I woke up again in the morning, bleary-eyed, still sleep-deprived.
Today's tasks are as follows:
[1. Intercede between Aunt Zhang and Aunt Wang who are arguing]
2. There is a buried snuff bottle in Lushanlinli. Find it and learn about its origins.
[3. Ask Song Tianshun a math question]
There are three tasks. With Tianshun, you can complete the daily task smoothly. As for the second task, just try your best. Lushan is too big, and the continuous peaks form a mountain range. Even if you ask the whole village to search in the forest, they may not be able to find it. You have to let go when it is time to let go.
The first task is still better, she can eat melon again.
Today, the people from the old Song family went to work, and Song Jiayu also wore a straw hat and went out. However, she did not go to the fields, but went to Lushan Mountain to try her luck. If she found a snuff bottle, it would be considered lucky, but if she didn't find it, it didn't matter. She used a wooden stick to push away the grass and searched the field with her eyes. She didn't know where she was when she heard a sound in her ears.
