Chapter 300 Convinced
Tian Sumei moved quickly, and in a short while, she had taken out all the "treasures" from the sack.
Xie Fangshu felt a bitter taste was about to overflow from her mouth, but she didn't dare to say no.
After all, I only gave birth to one child, which was somewhat unreasonable.
Which family in the team doesn't have three or four children? Some even have seven or eight.
Who in the whole group didn't laugh at her for only giving birth to a son?
Having more children is what she should do as a daughter-in-law.
But thinking of this, Xie Fangshu felt extremely upset.
It was as if someone had placed a stone on her chest, making it so depressing that she could hardly breathe.
However, even so, she still had to force a smile and said to Tian Sumei gratefully: "Mom, thank you for your hard work. You haven't eaten yet, right? I'll make you some noodles."
Hearing this, Tian Sumei waved her hands and said, "Don't waste the noodles. Just make some black flour dumplings and some pickled vegetables. We women should learn to be frugal and not spend lavishly. Save this money for building a house in the future. Erga will have to get married when he grows up."
How could Tian Sumei let Xie Fangshu use white flour when her son was not at home? There was no need to waste it.
Xie Fangshu had heard this many times in the past.
Whether in her parents' home or in her husband's home, everyone told her that a woman should be virtuous, should know how to endure hardships and work, and that the good things should be saved for men and sons.
In the past, she didn't think there was anything wrong, and she always kept the good things for her son and her man.
But when she heard these words again, she inexplicably felt that they were a little harsh.
However, Xie Fangshu still didn't say anything, and instead cooked the black-faced steamed buns neatly.
Now that the weather is cold, she might as well make more so that she can eat it for several days at a time, so she doesn't have to cook it every meal.
Tian Sumei found a place to put the "folk remedy" materials she brought.
Then he walked around the house.
As she looked at it, she kept saying, "Why buy such a big cabinet? What a waste of money!"
"Why do you need so many corn stalks to heat your kang? You have to be careful with these things in your life. Don't be extravagant if you don't want to spend money."
She criticized the entire house from top to bottom, and it seemed that nothing satisfied her.
Xie Fangshu wanted to say something several times, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't help swallowing them back.
That’s it.
She knew it when she was in her hometown that if she dared to say anything in reply, she would be scolded by her mother-in-law without stopping.
The worst time was when she scolded Xie Fangshu for an entire afternoon.
Now that she had figured out her temper, she just had to wait until she had finished nagging.
It's better to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Sure enough, after Tian Sumei finished her scolding, she seemed to feel a lot better.
Sitting on a stool in the kitchen, she drank water while watching her daughter-in-law kneading dough.
Xie Fangshu moved quickly and skillfully, and quickly kneaded the dough. After that, she quickly started to pinch the dough into buns.
It didn't take long to make thirty or forty black-faced dimples.
She took out the steamer, put the steamed buns in, and started a fire.
After a while, Erga also came back from outside.
As soon as he entered the door, he happily rushed to the stove, broke the white flour steamed bun in his hand into two halves, and handed one half to Xie Fangshu.
"Mom, have some of the steamed bread Auntie Su gave me."
As soon as Erga returned to the kitchen, he went straight to the stove and didn't even notice Tian Sumei sitting at the dining table.
Tian Sumei was not angry either. When she saw her grandson, her eyes were smiling.
"My Erga is so good. Just eat the steamed buns by yourself. Your mother has to steam the steamed buns when she is busy."
When Erga heard Tian Sumei's voice, he realized that his grandmother from his hometown had also come.
Suddenly, the happy smile on his face froze.
Xie Fangshu rubbed his head and said, "Mom is not hungry, you can share some with grandma."
Hearing this, Erga glanced at his grandmother who was sitting at the table, with a hint of reluctance clearly flashing across his face.
"But...I want to share this with my mother."
Although Tian Sumei loved Erga very much, Erga didn't like his grandmother very much.
Because every time grandma would give his mother bitter medicine, and after his mother finished drinking it, she would always secretly wipe away her tears. Erga had seen it several times.
After hearing Erga's words, the smile on Tian Sumei's face faded a little.
She glanced at Xie Fangshu with some dissatisfaction, as if blaming her for how she taught her children.
Then she patted the stool next to her and said to Erga, "Come sit here with grandma, I'll give you something delicious."
Tian Sumei thinks that women should not eat too much white flour, otherwise their mouths will become picky and they will not be able to eat black flour.
Therefore, she used the excuse of giving Erga food to get him out of the way.
Erga is just a child after all, how can he resist the temptation of delicious food?
Hearing that grandma had delicious food, he didn't doubt it and followed her with the two halves of the steamed bun.
In the kitchen, only Xie Fangshu was left, lighting the fire, staring blankly at the steamer stacked high.
…
Since the plan to develop the saline-alkali land in Ya County was launched, Su Ranran's already busy life has become even busier.
In the morning, I went to the logistics department of the unit to check on the pigs and formulate a pig feed recipe.
As expected, she had systematically studied pig-raising techniques. With the specially customized pig feed formula, the pigs in the entire pig farm grew fat much faster than before.
This also completely convinced the soldiers in the logistics department who were in charge of raising pigs.
Basically, I report all the big and small things every day to Su Ranran in the morning.
Su Ranran's attention was more focused on the little pig in the space.
There are several breeds of pigs in the space, and the one that Su Ranran took out has a medium to high growth rate but is particularly rich in fat.
Su Ranran’s space also sells this kind of pork. Apart from a thin layer of lean meat, the rest is basically white fat.
If this kind of pork were to be found in the future, no one would want it.
But in this era of extreme oil and water shortage, it is still a top-notch product.
Therefore, she paid special attention to the growth of this pig every day.
Fortunately, the sow was well taken care of by her through postpartum care, and now has enough milk to feed the piglets.
The twelve little pigs drank the milk for more than a month, and each of them grew up very nicely.
Especially the space pig, which looks obviously bigger than the other pigs.
The soldiers were also amazed at the pig's growth and would come to take a look at it every day when they had nothing to do.
After looking after the pigs in the morning, Su Ranran took her two babies to Beijia Mountain at noon.
