Chapter 43 Smoke is coming out of your ancestral tomb

Zheng Lanhua pulled Shen Haiping aside, watching Fang Xiaoluo and Shen Jinxia being intimate, and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

When Fang Xiaoluo looked over, she pressed her mouth down again, still the same look.

"I'm not worried about you." She said stubbornly.

Fang Xiaoluo came over, "Yes, I know, you are just worried about your son."

Zheng Lanhua: "It's good that you know."

Fang Xiaoluo walked slowly holding Shen Jinxia. Shen Zheng asked, "What did you talk about with mom?"

Fang Xiaoluo deliberately said loudly, "Mom praised me for being beautiful and capable, saying that you can marry me because of the great incense you have burned for eight generations, and the ancestral tombs are full of smoke."

Zheng Lanhua paused in front of her, her body stiffened for a few seconds, and then pulled Shen Haiping forward.

Shen Zheng smiled and said, "You are right."

After returning home, Fang Xiaoluo started to cook dinner.

She and Shen Zheng bought a lot of things today. She first threw the quail eggs she bought into the pot to cook, and then cleaned the newly bought pork belly and cut it into large pieces.

Shen Zheng stayed in the kitchen, helping to light the fire and add firewood.

Then, he took the apron and helped Fang Xiaoluo tie it on. He stood aside and watched her cook very carefully, silently memorizing the steps in his mind.

Heat the oil in a pot, Fang Xiaoluo began to boil the sugar color, watching the small bubbles in the pot and turn it into caramel color, she poured the processed pork belly into the pot.

With a "sizzle", hot steam rose.

Fang Xiaoluo stir-fried quickly, and soon, each piece of pork belly was covered with a layer of bright red sugar color.

After stir-frying until almost done, Fang Xiaoluo added soup, green onions, ginger and various seasonings.

She rinsed the cooked quail eggs with cold water so that they would not burn her hands and would be easier to peel.

Shen Jinxia poked her head out, "Sister, is there anything I can do?"

Fang Xiaoluo looked at her head still wearing the two little red hairpins, so cute.

She waved to Shen Jinxia, ​​"Go and move a small stool and help me peel the quail eggs."

Shen Jinxia nodded wildly, "Okay."

As she spoke, she moved her short legs very quickly, and quickly moved a small stool and sat there.

It was obviously a small quail egg, but it looked very big in Shen Jinxia's hand.

She imitated Fang Xiaoluo's appearance, knocked it on the edge of the basin first, and then carefully peeled off the skin.

She frowned and pouted, looking very serious and working very hard.

Her movements were slow, but she never stopped.

She put a peeled quail egg into another bowl, and finally smiled with relief.

Fang Xiaoluo praised, "Our Xia Xia is awesome, so capable." Complimented

, Shen Jinxia worked even harder.

Shen Zheng looked down at the two, one big and one small, who were so happy just peeling a quail egg, and couldn't help asking, "What else can I do?"

Fang Xiaoluo instructed, "Go peel four or five potatoes, then cut them into shreds, and cut a carrot."

"Got it."

Shen Zheng said, and quickly washed the potatoes, peeled them, and cut them into shreds.

Fang Xiaoluo stood up, washed the rice, and steamed the white rice in the pot.

The quail eggs were peeled, and Shen Jinxia clapped her hands, "Sister, we have finished peeling them, we are so capable."

"Yes, we are really capable." Fang Xiaoluo gave Shen Jinxia a thumbs up.

She washed the quail eggs and threw them directly into the pot.

Afterwards, Fang Xiaoluo cut the dried tofu, tied it into tofu buckles, and threw it into the pot.

The soup was boiling and bubbling, and the fragrance was overflowing, making people swallow their saliva.

Shen Haifeng came back from school, and before entering the yard, he smelled this tempting fragrance.

Yu Feixu, a classmate who came back with him, stretched his neck, "Shen Haifeng, it smells so good, your stepmother's cooking is really good. When will you invite me to your house to try it?"

Shen Haifeng had a cold face, "Eat shit, I'll feed you to death!"

Yu Feixu snorted, "You're really a thief!" After that, he ran away alone.

When Shen Haifeng arrived in the yard, he found that his grandmother Zheng Lanhua was cooking on the stove in the yard.

He ran over to take a look and saw that his grandmother was stir-frying shredded potatoes.

Although it was called stir-fry, it was actually the same as stewing, basically just adding oil and salt. Even so, Shen Haifeng thought it was very good. Although it was not very delicious, at least it was not difficult to eat.

"Grandma, are my dad and the others back?"

Zheng Lanhua responded, "Yes."

Shen Haifeng ran back to the house, only to see Shen Haiping sitting at the table, writing and drawing on paper.

He walked over and looked Shen Haiping up and down. Shen Haiping looked very good, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He leaned over to look at the paper, which showed three children and two adults.

In the past, when Shen Haiping drew this picture, there was only one adult, but now there was obviously a woman.

"Are you drawing our stepmother?"

Shen Haiping didn't say anything and didn't hear anything at all.

Fang Xiaoluo's rice was steamed, and the braised pork, quail eggs and tofu were also stewed, filling a large pot.

Afterwards, she washed the potato and carrot shreds that Shen Zheng had cut, blanched them, and then rinsed them with cold water.

Then she sprinkled chopped green onions, minced garlic, and peppercorns with hot oil, and the aroma was immediately stimulated.

Then she added appropriate salt and vinegar, stirred evenly, and a dish of cold potato shreds was ready. It

was very crisp and refreshing. The yellow and red colors looked very good.

It would be better if chili peppers could be added, but Fang Xiaoluo felt that the children could not eat spicy food, so she simplified it.

A large bowl of rice, a whole pot of braised pork, and a large plate of cold potato shreds were served on the table.

On the other side, Zheng Lanhua's fried potato shreds were also served.

She didn't prepare any staple food this time. She thought that the rice steamed by Fang Xiaoluo would be enough for the whole family.

Fang Xiaoluo obviously understood what Zheng Lanhua meant. She didn't say a word while the whole family served themselves some food.

This was enough to show that Zheng Lanhua was gradually falling apart, which was a good thing.

However, this old lady, who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, with a sharp tongue but a kind heart, was gradually falling apart, and she needed a step for the next step.

Everyone sat down around the table, and Fang Xiaoluo used small plates to peel off some dishes for each of Shen Haiping and Shen Jinxia, ​​so that it would be easier for them to pick up.

Shen Haifeng watched Shen Haiping put a piece of tender and crispy braised pork into his mouth, and quickly retracted his gaze and put a chopstick of shredded potatoes into his mouth.

But when he turned around again, Shen Jinxia put a mouthful of cold shredded potatoes into her mouth.

The crisp sound, the food in Shen Haifeng's mouth was tasteless to begin with, so he bit his tongue directly.

This time, Shen Haifeng covered his mouth, groaned, and his face flushed.

Shen Zheng looked at his expression, "What's wrong?"

Shen Haifeng paused for a long time, "I bit my tongue."

Shen Zheng naturally knew Shen Haifeng's stubbornness, he picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his bowl, "There is meat on the table, you are biting your tongue, you are so old."

Shen Haifeng stared at the piece of meat, not knowing what to do for a moment.

He raised his head and glanced at Fang Xiaoluo carefully, and found that the stepmother did not have any expression, nor did she stop him from eating the meat.

Don't stepmothers always forbid everyone to eat meat? Especially since he has been so rude these days, why didn't Fang Xiaoluo, his stepmother, stop him?
