During the few days Qiu Dashan stayed at his father-in-law's house, he was drunk every day and rarely sober.
Until the day before leaving, Zhang Xunfang ordered his unreasonable father-in-law not to force his son-in-law to drink anymore, otherwise he would drive the car into a ditch the next day.
"We still have Duo'er." Although he argued like this, he actually listened to the advice and did not touch the wine jar again.
Qiu Dashan's heart was hanging in the air until he finished his meal, and only then did he finally feel at ease.
However, the father-in-law was generally satisfied with him. When he left the next day, he not only loaded a lot of wool and dairy products into the car, but also a half-grown lamb.
"Duo'er loves to drink goat's milk. This little ewe will have a baby after she grows up and gives birth. Let's go back." After Huang Youfa finished speaking, he slapped the donkey on the butt, and the little donkey started to trot away.
It was not until she could no longer see the people that Huang Duoer's tears burst out and her voice was no longer suppressed.
Qiu Dashan took both the person and the lamb into his arms and promised that she could visit her parents' home as often as possible.
"Mee~"
"These sheep have been sold to the commune, so where do the lamb sounds come from?" Li Qingmei thought she was hallucinating, and Qiu Yuling also said that she heard it. Just as they were wondering, the door creaked.
"It must be my eldest brother who has returned." Qiu Yuling heard the donkey's snorting, lifted the door curtain and went out, and sure enough, it was him.
The two people were just entering the gate. Her sister-in-law was holding a half-grown lamb in her arms. Wanjin came over and barked at the lamb.
"Go, go, go and play, don't make trouble yet." Huang Duoer carried the lamb into the main room first, and Qiu Dashan carried the rest of the things himself.
"My parents gave it to me. They asked me to raise it to eat goat's milk." The lamb was carried by the couple all the way, and although it was hungry, it was not cold.
"I'll take care of it. Take off your shoes and get on the kang first. Yuling, pour a bowl of hot soup for your sister-in-law." Li Qingmei took the lamb and helped people get on the kang first.
Qiu Yuling poured a bowl of fish soup from the clay pot, scooped out all the remaining fish meat, brought a basket of scallion pancakes, set them on the kang table, and put them on top.
"Sister Duo'er, drink first. I'll get you a plate of pickles to go with it. Big brother, come up and accompany my sister-in-law."
"You girl, sister-in-law is sister-in-law, sometimes sister, sometimes sister." Before Qiu Yuling could do anything, Qiu's mother had already picked up the plate of pickles and placed it on the kang table while smiling at her daughter.
"You can call me whatever you want. Calling me sister is more intimate." Huang Duoer quickly excused her sister-in-law.
"How can they be the same? There are many people who call you sister when they go out, but you are the only one who can make her call you sister-in-law. Change it quickly." Qiu Dashan finally spoke up at this moment, and Huang Duoer smiled and glared at him.
"Your elder brother is right." Li Qingmei poked her daughter's forehead with her finger and said with a smile, "Just change it in the future."
"Change, change, change~ I was just waiting for the money to change my statement, but I didn't know that big brother would be the first to turn his elbow in that direction." Everyone started joking.
"Oh, this is my fault. Can you give the lamb to Yuling?" Huang Duoer said in a tone of coaxing a child.
"Well, they say you marry a daughter-in-law and follow your mother-in-law. Sister-in-law, you look exactly like our mother. This isn't a favor, it's a job for me. Let me take care of her until she grows up, and then we can all feed off her together. I won't be fooled."
"What are you all laughing at?" Qiu Jianshe came in from outside, and his two sons followed him into the house one after another. All three strong men fell to the ground, and the whole hall became a little cramped.
"Dad, second brother, third brother, have you eaten? I'll go get it." Huang Duoer immediately stood up to make room for them.
"Just eat yours peacefully. We have all eaten. We estimate that it will be ready today or tomorrow morning. When you come back, we will stew some in a clay pot." Li Qingmei leaned against the edge of the kang and hurriedly held down her daughter-in-law who was about to get up.
Qiu Jianshe and the others also said that it was not necessary, they just wanted to warm themselves by the fire and then go out.
With this interruption, no one mentioned the joke anymore, and Qiu Yuling went back to flipping through her book.
As there were so many people around, Huang Duoer felt embarrassed to eat, so she drank up the soup at the bottom of the bowl and insisted on washing the dishes herself.
"I'm just standing on the ground. Be good and cover your legs with the quilt to keep warm for a while. We'll see you next time." Li Qingmei took the dishes and Klima wiped them and cleaned them up.
The warm kang rustled with sounds. Huang Duoer was so sleepy that she was staggering, but she was holding her eyes open. Qiu Yuling saw this and closed the book. "Mom, I'm sleepy. I'm going back to sleep for a while. Sister-in-law, can you come back? They're talking so noisy. Let's go back to our own room."
"Dashan, go back with Duo'er and rest for a while. It's still early. Go back to the house and lie down for a while. I'll fry some meatballs for you in the afternoon."
After sending everyone back to their own rooms, Li Qingmei told Qiu Jianshe about the things she had just unloaded from the truck. At the end, she sighed that the Huang family really loved their daughter.
From the moment we decided to get married to the wedding, we've brought so many goodies to our daughter-in-law's family. We can't be stingy, and we can't show our shyness when we ask our daughter-in-law to return to her parents' home.
Qiu Jianshe could only say, "I'll do as you say." But he still looked happy. Compared with his eldest brother's daughter-in-law, the difference was obvious.
The two of them whispered to each other, thank goodness they acted decisively and didn't let Dashan get involved with the widow in the city, otherwise his family would be in trouble now.
In a good mood, Li Qingmei worked more methodically. In addition to frying meatballs and tofu balls, she also made potato balls and sweet potato balls as Qiu Yuling mentioned. She also took the time to knead the dough and baked a stack of white pancakes.
In the evening, I had meatball vermicelli soup with pancakes.
It's already the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month. The closer we get to the Chinese New Year, the more work I feel like I have to do.
Thinking that it was rare for her children to be together this year, Li Qingmei took the trouble to fry some leavened fruit. She was busy around the stove all day long, and she didn't complain.
From time to time, he would pull out a sweet potato from the stove, bury it in the ashes to keep it warm, and wait for his children to wake up from their break so that he could have a snack.
Qiu Yuling also took advantage of this opportunity to sell another wave of crops and only kept the seedlings from the livestock, and sold the rest. In an instant, she earned a large amount of points.
Since she didn't need to find ways to exchange supplies at home, she continued to expand the scale of planting, opening as much land as possible and cultivating and planting batches of seedlings until she had spent most of the points coins on hand.
As soon as she came out of the space, she smelled the smell of cooking smoke through the crack of the door. She habitually planned to put on her shoes and go to help, but then she heard the voices of her sister-in-law and Qiu's mother asking for advice.
She shrank back again, not wanting to disturb the friendly relations between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law. Although she was often an unsung hero, the prosperity of this family had a lot to do with her, but she couldn't always rely on herself to blow up the bunker.
Everyone in this family must find a suitable way to survive so that everyone can move forward together!
