Chapter 22 Good sisters, share the hardship
Everyone is relieved that nothing serious is happening.
Gao Ming educated Old Lady Mu: "Aunt, I'm not saying anything, but Feng Zhen is just too reckless. If you do this again next time, I won't take care of it."
Old Mrs. Mu's face hurt so much that she responded in a muffled voice.
Mu Jingzhou quietly asked Su Tang: "Did the elder sister hit you?"
"No. But I was too nervous when I was trying to stop the fight, and I didn't let go of my sister's hair for a while..."
Su Tang stuck out her tongue, looking playful, cute, and timid.
Mu Jingzhou was relieved and rubbed her head: "If the eldest sister wants to hit you, just run away, understand?"
"Yeah, I got it." Su Tang smiled happily.
Mu Jingzhou felt a sweet feeling in his heart, and whispered as he walked, "I went to the mountains to collect more pine resin today."
"Ah, why are you going to the mountains to pick it instead of working?"
"Don't you want to make soap?"
"Pfft, the rosin is just used to help with lathering. A small handful is enough for several bars of soap."
"So what are you lacking?"
"Shells. I plan to make my own alkaline water instead of alkaline flour to reduce costs as much as possible."
"Okay, I'll go pick it up by the river later."
A group of people returned home in a mighty procession. Li Lan quickly expressed her concern: "How is my second brother's wife?"
"Injured."
Mu Jingyun's two cold words froze Li Lan's smile on her face.
It wasn't her who hurt her, so who was she showing her disapproval to?
Mu Jingyun carried Yu Miaomiao back to the bed and asked, "How are you now?"
"I feel much better when you're here." Yu Miaomiao said softly.
Mu Jingyun's heart tightened, and he grabbed her hand and kissed it: "Are you thirsty?"
"I'm not thirsty, I'm just hungry."
"You lie down, I'll go cook."
Mu Jingyun turned around and went out. Old Lady Mu and Li Lan were already lighting the fire and preparing to cook.
This time, no one dared to just sit and wait, except Old Man Mu, everyone was actively looking for work to do.
Su Tang uses stone mortar to pound Gastrodia elata.
But it was too hard! She didn't have enough strength, and after pounding it for a while, it was still in a lump.
"Third sister-in-law, today is all thanks to you, let me do it!"
"good."
Mu Jingyun took it, pounded the Gastrodia elata into powder, and sifted it finely, scooping out the coarse particles again.
Su Tang admires how meticulous the work is.
As expected, people with paranoid personalities all have obsessive-compulsive disorder.
"Mom, where are the eggs?" Mu Jingyun asked.
Old Lady Mu looked at her eldest son, speechless. Finally, she went back to her room and got an egg: "Here you go!"
Mu Jingyun mixed the eggs with oil and salt, sprinkled them with Gastrodia elata powder, and steamed them in a steamer.
Eggs are also precious things.
After Li Lan found out she was pregnant, she had never seen eggs. She added firewood and smelled the fragrance of eggs, and she was very greedy.
But the second child's eyes were sharp, so she didn't dare to argue with Yu Miaomiao. She asked, "Mom, how do you eat rabbits?"
"Add some potatoes to stew together. I'm not very good at it..." Old Mrs. Mu missed Yu Miaomiao's cooking skills in her heart.
If Yu Miaomiao wasn't sick, it would definitely be delicious if she cooked it.
"Why eat rabbit? Not today!" Mu Jingyun said with a cold face.
Li Lan laughed dryly: "They've all been slaughtered. If they're left out until tomorrow, they'll go bad."
"My wife and my third brother's wife hunted rabbits, and no one else can eat them unless she eats them."
Su Tang agreed: "We can pickle it first and eat it together when my second sister-in-law is ready. Second brother, can you pickle rabbit?"
"The Third Brother will."
Mu Jingzhou first rubbed the rabbit with wine, then rubbed it with salt. When he felt that the rabbit was well-seasoned, he covered it with a basin and said, "Marinate it for two days and then hang it up to dry in the shade."
Since they didn't find any chicken in the morning, the people who had been thinking about rabbits all day long were left staring blankly.
But no one dared to say anything.
Su Tang realized: Everyone is afraid of paranoids!
In the end, they could only eat the taro and cabbage soup cooked by Old Lady Mu.
"Brother, you guys eat. I'll take the eggs to Sister-in-law."
"Trouble the third brother and sister."
"fine."
Su Tang brought the egg custard into the room: "Second sister-in-law, get up and eat the eggs. They are so delicious."
"You steamed it?" Yu Miaomiao asked suspiciously, "When did you steam eggs so well?"
"It's not me. It's my second brother. My second brother is so good to you. He does everything himself. He even saved the rabbit for you to eat after you get better." Su Tang said.
Yu Miaomiao didn't expect that a stand-in could receive such treatment.
But, you must not be tempted!
What they are changing now are just some insignificant little plots, and when Shen Mingzhu comes back she will be killed instantly by the heroine's halo.
"Eat quickly!" Su Tang giggled.
Yu Miaomiao tasted it and said, "It's bitter..."
“It tastes bitter but it is good medicine.”
"I'm not really sick."
"Gastrodia elata is a good thing. It can cure diseases and maintain health."
"Then let's eat together."
Su Tang didn't dare and shook her head: "I'm afraid that my second brother will beat me. He is so fierce when he gets angry that he even stuns his parents."
"Paranoia is roughly equivalent to willfulness, which is in disguise equivalent to tyranny. Everyone is afraid of unreasonable people." Yu Miaomiao snorted coldly and forced Su Tang to eat together, "Hurry up, let's suffer together."
“…”
Although the gastrodia elata tastes bitter, the eggs are fragrant. The two sisters took a spoonful each and ate them with great relish.
After dinner, Mu Jingyun handed the remaining Tianma powder and five eggs to Su Tang: "Third sister-in-law, I will be busy tomorrow, please take care of your second sister-in-law. Three of these eggs are for your second sister-in-law, and two are for you."
"Second brother, you are so polite! Don't worry, I will take good care of you." Su Tang took the things and went back to the house humming a little tune.
Five eggs. Oh, I really don’t know how Mu Jingyun convinced Old Lady Mu to give so many.
Tomorrow, she will have fried rice with egg!
Mu Jingzhou had finished taking a shower and was drying his hair.
There was twice as much rosin in the sieve used to dry it, and Su Tang suddenly thought of rosin's sister - peach gum.
Rosin is used to make soap, but peach gum is edible!
"Third brother, pick peaches from the tree next time."
"That also works?"
"Yes."
"Okay. There's a grove of peach trees in our village. Next time I go to the peach forest to work, I'll get more."
The orchard in the village is public. Every year, part of the peach and plum fruits are sold and part is distributed to the villagers.
Now people don’t know the magical effect of peach gum and don’t take it seriously. If they find out one day, the whole village will scold them for stealing public property.
Su Tang thought about that scene and became timid: "Forget it, let's just pick some from the mountains..."
"What are you afraid of? No one wants that thing. My contribution to the village is more than just this little thing." Mu Jingzhou's habitually tense face relaxed.
She is both beautiful and timid, how can she be so cute?
I married the right daughter-in-law!
"Third brother, what contribution have you made to the village?" Su Tang asked curiously.
Mu Jingzhou pinched her face and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Go take a shower. I've been missing you all day."
“…”
Easy to understand tiger and wolf words!
Su Tang was sweating all over today and felt that her body was sticky. She had wanted to take a shower for a long time, so she didn't ask any more questions.
The room smelled of roses all day long, and the two of them made love in the strong fragrance.
For Mu Jingzhou, who never uses incense, the experience is superb.
It was also from tonight that Mu Jingzhou developed the habit of picking flowers and taking them home...
