If those sweet words that are so annoying and cost nothing are spoken by someone else, Gu's mother will only think that person is hypocritical and will stay away from him completely.
But the daughter-in-law is different. Mother Gu is very hypocritical. She has long been confused by Shen Yunshu's praise.
Sure enough, in the eyes of her daughter-in-law, she was the most important person, and she felt so relieved.
Grandma Gu secretly gave Shen Yunshu a thumbs up. When it comes to coaxing people, no one can compare to Shen Yunshu.
It can be said that this is also one of the reasons why the family likes and loves Shen Yunshu.
This dessert of brown sugar, osmanthus, glutinous rice and lotus root is easy to make but it takes time, coal and brown sugar. The glutinous rice needs to be soaked for more than five hours in advance.
Moreover, if you put too little brown sugar when cooking, it will not have that sweetness and the taste will be greatly reduced.
There wasn't much brown sugar left at home. Luckily, Shen Yunshu went to the county town today and brought back two bags. Otherwise, she really wouldn't be able to make the dessert she wanted to eat today.
While the spareribs were cooking on the stove, Grandma Gu quickly soaked the glutinous rice. She had used up all the rice left over from making rice dumplings.
If she doesn’t use up all the lotus root from making brown sugar osmanthus glutinous rice, she will use the remaining glutinous rice to make brown sugar eight-treasure rice pudding.
My granddaughter-in-law will definitely like the eight-treasure rice steamed with raisins, brown sugar and red dates.
When Mr. and Mrs. Shen came home from get off work, they smelled the aroma of meat before they even reached the door. The two of them were tired after a morning of work and their stomachs were growling with hunger.
Mother Shen said: "Shushu went to the county yesterday and brought back a lot of meat. Dad and the others must be making something delicious at home."
Father Shen said, "The New Year is coming soon. When you give the children red envelopes this year, put more money in them. There are so many mouths to feed at home. If you rely on just the couple, they will eventually eat themselves to death."
"Don't worry, I know all this. We only have Shushu as our daughter, so who else should we love more than her?"
On weekdays, she tried every possible way to give money to her daughter, but in the end, her daughter secretly gave it back to her. Mother Shen had no choice but to take advantage of the New Year to supplement the couple's income.
The few cans of milk powder she asked her colleagues to buy a few days ago should be available soon, and she will give them to her grandchildren then.
Chen Yunshu chirped, "Mom and Dad, you're finally back. Hurry up and wash your hands and have dinner. Grandma made lotus root and pork rib soup, Grandpa made pork and cabbage stewed with vermicelli, and a pot of cornmeal pancakes..."
Father Shen said happily: "Your mother and I smelled the aroma of meat at home before we even got home. We guessed that there must be something delicious at noon today."
"Not only will there be delicious food at noon, but we'll also have braised pig's head and lotus root with brown sugar and osmanthus glutinous rice tonight. You can have a drink with Grandpa and the others tonight. I remember there's a bottle of good wine under Gu Jiuyan and I's bed. I'll give it to you later."
"It's all thanks to you." Father Shen looked at his precious daughter in front of him and felt that his life was getting more and more promising.
But when he thought of the Jiang family who bullied his daughter, a fleeting murderous intent flashed in his eyes. After the New Year, he would go to Hai City to settle the account from eighteen years ago.
He will not let any of the Jiang family members go.
There are many people in the family, and the dishes are all served in pots. There are two coal stoves in the house, one for cooking porridge and the other for stir-frying vegetables, which makes cooking faster.
Mother Shen filled a bowl of lotus root and pork ribs soup for her daughter, looking for lotus roots among the pork ribs.
"This is too much. I can't finish it."
"If you can't finish it, let your dad eat it. Your dad loves to eat leftovers."
Shen Yunshu, whose opinion was rejected, looked at the bowl full of ribs that were sticking out, and picked up a few pieces with chopsticks to share with everyone.
She has no shortage of food as she lives alone in her own space. She can eat whatever she wants. But it is different for her family members. They usually lack oil and water in their stomachs, so they need to eat more good food to replenish their energy.
Everyone looked at the ribs in the bowl, feeling sad but also moved.
Grandma Gu said, "Shushu, we have spareribs in our bowls, you don't have to pick some for us."
"I just ate some biscuits, and my stomach is still full, so I can't eat that much." Shen Yunshu paused and continued, "When the team slaughtered pigs, I asked the team leader to save one for me and asked Wan Xinyu to make bacon for me next time I go back."
Even if the bacon is kept for a year or two, it will not go bad. A pig weighing three or four hundred pounds is enough to make bacon, which is enough for their whole family to eat for a long time.
It was painful, as a pig would cost Gu Jiuyan four or five months' allowance, but in her opinion, as long as she could eat it, it was worth it.
Everyone at the dinner table was shocked by the whole pig in Shen Yunshu’s mouth, but when they thought of Wan Xinyu’s skill in making bacon, they became excited.
It's the excitement of having delicious food in your mouth.
Grandpa Gu said, "I'll have my wife get you the money later. You can't pay for the pig."
Grandpa Shen said: “Your grandpa is right, you can’t take this money, I will go back and get the money for you later.”
Old man Lin, who refused to fall behind, also jumped in and rushed to pay.
