Chapter 314: Shallow-eyed, cunning heart
Zhao Changying: "Okay, you can do it. Your pork liver and lean meat soup is delicious."
Yu Hui first sliced the fresh pork liver, marinated it, and then cut off a piece of lean meat and cut it into slices.
Zheng Rong was draining the rice while Gu Qiuye was lighting a fire in front of the stove.
Tian Ying walked into the kitchen carrying the washed cabbage from the yard. Seeing that the youngest wife had cut a lot of lean meat into large slices, she curled her lips and said, "Sister-in-law, you're really generous with the meat, cutting it into such large slices."
This amount of meat would have been enough for the family to have two or three servings of lean meat soup.
There was already pork liver, but she still cut so much lean meat.
"..." Yu Hui was slightly stunned, not understanding what she meant for a moment.
Zhao Changying heard it and replied directly: "Cut it into big slices so it's easier to pick up."
The third daughter-in-law said these things simply because she felt that Xiaohui cut too much meat and cut it into too large pieces.
The meat was originally cooked for the whole family to eat, and the youngest brother and his friends bought so much meat. Tian Ying is just short-sighted and cunning.
Tian Ying curled her lips without saying anything, put the washed cabbage on the table, and turned to leave.
Mom always thinks that the distant ones are more beautiful than the close ones. She thinks the youngest and Yu Hui are promising, so she always sides with them.
She remembered that not long after she got married, her mother-in-law scolded her for cutting the meat for two meals and eating it for one meal. She said that she didn't know how to live by cutting such large pieces.
Now I have changed to Yu Hui, which cuts the food into larger pieces that are easier to pick up.
Yu Hui: “…”
Does Third Sister-in-law think that the pieces of meat she cut are too big?
The pork liver and lean meat soup is out of the pot, and the kitchen is filled with fragrance.
The pork liver and lean meat soup was served in two soup bowls, one bowl for each table.
After making the pork liver and lean meat soup, Yu Hui simply stir-fried the shredded radish and cabbage. The cabbage was stir-fried and a few pieces of dried chilies were added.
The Gu family started their meal with two dishes and a soup.
Normally, we only cook one dish to go with the rice at home, but now we have these two dishes, a soup and meat, which is considered a good meal.
As soon as she sat down at the table, Wang Mei reached out and picked up the spoon, scooping a spoonful of soup mixed with pork liver and lean meat into the bowl. There was more meat than soup in the spoon.
Zhao Changying rolled her eyes. Wang Mei was really afraid that she would not get to eat a bite of meat.
When she was about to scoop the second spoonful, Zhao Changying reached out and took the spoon from her hand, and scooped a spoonful into the bowls of the old lady, Gu Pingshan, Beibei, Yu Hui, and Gu Huai in turn, and then put the spoon into the soup bowl.
"You didn't stir-fry this shredded radish, did you?" Gu Jiang turned his head and asked his wife Zheng Rong.
Zheng Rong ate the stir-fried cabbage and said, "I didn't cook it. Xiaohui cooked all the dishes today."
Gu Jiang: "Xiao Hui's cooking is really delicious."
It was the first time for him to eat such delicious shredded radish.
"Cabbage is delicious too." Gu Hai stuffed a big mouthful of cabbage into his mouth.
Tian Ying rolled his eyes at him. He had meat but didn't know how to eat it, only eating cabbage.
She picked up the soup spoon and scooped a spoonful of pork liver and lean meat soup for herself and Gu Hai.
"This pork liver is tender, delicious and not fishy." The old lady gave high praise to the pork liver and lean meat soup.
Yu Hui smiled and said, "Mother-in-law, if you like it, eat more."
Tian Ying: "Xiao Hui's cooking is so delicious. Why don't we let Xiao Hui cook from now on? Otherwise, when they return to the city, we won't be able to eat such delicious food."
Just as Zhao Changying was about to speak, she heard Yu Hui say with a smile, "Sure."
Yu Hui agreed readily, without showing any displeasure on her face.
Zhao Changying looked at Yu Hui disapprovingly and said, "With so many people at home, how can I let you cook alone? If you take over this job, what will your second and third sisters-in-law do?"
Normally, she cooks at home when she has to go to work. Now she doesn't go to the fields until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so it is natural that the sisters-in-law should take turns cooking for the family.
Zhao Changying said this to remind Xiaohui that her third sister-in-law was deliberately trying to bully her, so she threw all the work onto her.
Yu Hui knew this, so she smiled and said, "Usually, it's the eldest, second, and third sisters-in-law who are at home to show filial piety to you, Dad, and Mother-in-law. I finally got home, so you asked me to show some filial piety to you."
Wang Mei and Tian Ying blushed when they heard this. The eldest sister-in-law was very filial to her parents-in-law. Apart from her mother-in-law, she cooked the most and also made shoes and other things for the three elderly people.
Whenever the two or three elderly people had something to do, they would try to avoid it. Even when it was their turn to cook, they would wait outside for a while, waiting for their eldest sister-in-law to go to the kitchen to cook, and then they would run back and say, "Sorry, I'm back late."
The two of them really haven't done anything filial. Wang Mei just feels guilty and ashamed, but Tian Ying thinks that Yu Hui is just being nice in front of the elders and deliberately mocking them.
After lunch, Zhao Changying directly asked Tian Ying to wash the dishes.
Zhao Changying was in the kitchen, cutting the large piece of pork butt into long strips four fingers wide.
She cut more than seven pounds of meat into seven strips.
After cutting, they were weighed separately, and three pieces of equal weight were separated out.
These three pieces of meat weigh one pound each, and are given to the three daughters-in-law to take back as gifts when they return to their parents' home on the second day of the Chinese New Year.
It started snowing again in the afternoon, and this time it was even heavier than before. The snowflakes were falling like goose feathers.
The Gu family closed the door and warmed themselves by the fire inside. Gu Pingshan looked out the window at the heavy snow and said, "We haven't had such heavy snow here in years."
Gu Huai: "Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest. Next year will definitely be a good year with good weather and good harvests."
Gu Pingshan nodded, touched the pipe at his waist, and wanted to smoke, but when he looked at the children who were reading comic books around the baking basket, he held back.
At this moment, the Lin family and the Lu family met in a state-owned teahouse in the provincial capital.
Last night, Lu Tianyou told his parents that Lin Qingxue was pregnant and that they were going to get married.
The first thing Mr. and Mrs. Lu thought about was not marriage, but whether they could have a child.
Although they want to have grandchildren, the timing is obviously not right now.
Both of them are in college now. If they have children and raise them now, it will definitely affect their studies.
Besides, there is no room at home now.
Once they graduate from college, get a job, get a house and get married, the housing problem will be solved.
But Lu Tianyou said that children should not be beaten. Lin Siyu was kind-hearted and was reluctant to abort the fruit of their love.
In fact, when Lin Siyu found out she was pregnant, she went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said that she had given birth to so many children before, and if she had an abortion this time, she might not be able to get pregnant again in the future.
For the rest of her life, Lin Siyu was determined to be with Lu Tianyou, and they must have a child, so Lin Siyu insisted on giving birth to the child.
Lu's mother asked Lu Tianyou to persuade Lin Siyu, and Lu Tianyou told her that Lin Siyu had become a great writer and her book was about to be published.
Lu's father and mother thought that now that Lin Siyu has become a writer, she has surpassed her son and is more promising than him.
If she climbs higher in the future and meets more outstanding people, it is inevitable that she will change her mind.
She was so capable, and it would be a good thing for his son to marry her, so he agreed.
As they worked in the hospital, they did not think there was anything inappropriate about the betrothal gift proposed by the Lin family.
When their hospital family compound marries off their daughters, the dowry is basically the same standard.
