Miao Xiuying said slowly: "In a few days, I will go dig some water celery to make pickled cabbage, which is sour, crisp and refreshing. The red radishes your father planted are as big as thumbs. I will pull them up someday and make pickled radishes.
When the time comes, make sweet potato porridge or pumpkin porridge, which will be very delicious. I remember you like to eat bamboo shoots. Aunt Guihua said she would take me to dig some. I will dig more and eat as much as I can.
If you can’t eat it, add some hot water to it and put it in a dustpan to dry. There are many people in our family, so we are afraid that we won’t be able to finish it. I went up the mountain today and picked up a lot of fungus. Oh, by the way, look at this.”
She carefully took out two ginseng roots from her purse. Jiang Yan had taught her how to identify them. After digging them out, she put them in her bag without letting the other three see them.
If she can't divide it properly, she might as well keep it all!
This thing can be used to stew chicken and provide some nutrition for the family. She is not stupid.
Jiang Yan couldn't help but admire her, "Mom, you've gained a lot this time. Dry it and buy an old hen and stew it together."
Miao Xiuying smiled so hard that her teeth burst out. "I thought so too. I cooked a pot of soup to nourish you. You have worked hard in training, studying, and of course, those who went to the Red Education Class have also worked hard."
Mi Li's eyes curved into crescents, and she said adorably, "Grandma, who is at home taking care of things, is the hardest-working one, and Grandpa, who is playing chess, is also very tired, so we all need to catch up."
Miao Xiuying talked to her, "Baby is right. No matter who you blame, you can't blame this mouth."
Gu Chaoyang asked pleasantly, "Grandma, is there a portion for me?"
Miao Xiuying said generously: "Of course, let Mi Li invite you, and we will make soup together."
Gu Chaoyang said loudly: "Thank you grandma, you are so kind."
The little girl is very sweet-mouthed. In order to come to her house, she even said that the dead are alive.
Mi Li asked about the Chinese toon, and Gu Chaoyang was curious: "What is this? It smells weird, is it delicious?"
How could a child from a rich family have ever seen wild vegetables? Usually, many ingredients such as bird's nest and shark's fin are imported.
Don’t say that the 1970s were poor. There was no shortage of rich people in every era. The poor were just ordinary people.
Mi Li explained: "This is Chinese toon, it can be fried with eggs, it's delicious, I'm just afraid you can't get used to it."
"Sister, I am used to it. It looks delicious. I want to eat it until my belly is full."
Mi Li reserved his opinion, and after picking the wild vegetables, Miao Xiuying brought them into the kitchen.
There were still sparks in the stove hole. She steamed the dried corn silk.
Throw it in and blow hard.
The flame whooshed up high and almost burned Miao Xiuying's hair. Fortunately, she dodged quickly.
Jiang Yan scooped water into the pot with a wooden ladle and couldn't help laughing, "Mom, be careful, or your hair will become naturally curly."
She has been enjoying a good life following Jiang Yan in the past few years. After she pulled out her white hair, it never grew back.
It was like a second spring, and he grew thick and abundant black hair, which was really enviable.
After all, many people of her age are bald. Even Aunt Guihua asked her how she maintained her hair and what shampoo she used.
Miao Xiuying said that it was Jiang Yan who gave it to them, so they didn't dare to ask Jiang Yan for help.
Miao Xiuying joked with her, "That's pretty fashionable. I saw some people getting their hair permed in the barber shop, and they asked how much it cost, three yuan. I was going crazy. It's better to use chopsticks to perm your hair at home, which is simple and practical."
Jiang Yan smiled and said, "That will damage your hair. If you want to dye your hair, you can come to me."
There are still a lot of hair dyes in her space, which will expire if they are not used.
Miao Xiuying shook her head: "No, I won't dye my hair. I'm already old. If I dye my hair yellow or green like that youngster, how will others see me? Even if I dress up to be seductive and bright, I'll almost have a big mouth. I'd better keep a low profile!"
Jiang Yan disagreed with this, "Mom, we dress up to please ourselves, why do you care what those sour girls say? Now that we have enough money, we can do whatever makes us comfortable.
In the future, you will be a boss, so you should dye your hair red to look more energetic, and curl it, and you will look 20 or 30 years younger!"
This was quite attractive to Miao Xiuying. She said uncertainly: "Dyeing your hair really makes you look younger!"
She was a country woman with little knowledge. Jiang Yan said with certainty, "Mother, would I lie to you?"
What Jiang Yan said was true, and Miao Xiuying believed it without a doubt.
Let the fly take action: "Then please change my appearance for me someday and make those wives jealous to death. I love to see them making sarcastic remarks."
Jiang Yan smiled and said, "Okay, wait for me to buy hair dye, and save the labor cost."
Miao Xiuying saw how clever she was and praised her: "Xiaoyan, you are so versatile. Is there anything you can't do? It's really eye-opening for me to follow you."
Jiang Yan scooped the boiled water into the basin and began to bend down to wash the wild vegetables. "What's the big deal? You have good things, and you think of me. I have good things, and I think of you too. Hearts are exchanged for hearts."
Miao Xiuying's eyes softened, "We are meant to be a family, we think alike, let me cook this dish!"
Jiang Yan refused: "You cook every day, so I only cook occasionally. Today I'll let you taste my cooking skills. Go and take care of the children, and don't let them fight."
I’m afraid that if the fight goes on, they might get serious and kill each other. It would be fine if it happened to my own family, but I would have to explain to the Gu family.
She came here in good spirits, so let’s send her back in good spirits.
Miao Xiuying wiped her hands with a towel and said, "Okay, you cook, and I'll clean up the stove later. Be good kids! You won't..."
With a "bang", there was a noise in the room. Jiang Yan put down the kitchen knife in her hand and went over, only to see Gu Chaoyang and Fantuan wrestling with each other on the ground.
You punch me and I punch you, and it's pretty aggressive.
