Chapter 89 No Cover-up
Who would have thought that Huo Changan blushed after being stunned for a moment.
"It's not wrong to shout like that in the room...but I feel it's a bit bad."
After all, he really does have a sister.
My brothers and sisters-in-law at home are all well-behaved and don't call me like that.
A guy like Chen Ye has this habit. When there is no one around, he forces his wife to call him brother.
When he heard it for the first time, he got goosebumps.
"Or, you can call me...Brother Changan."
After saying that, I felt unlucky again.
Because Yun Shuixian also shouted that.
"Why don't you just call me by my nickname, Zile." The young man pursed his lips, seeming a little shy.
No one called him by his nickname anymore after he turned ten.
I’ve heard about the third brother and his wife’s affair before, and his wife always called him by his nickname.
It's a little corny, but that's okay.
Sang Ning was stunned.
Man, what are you thinking about!
"You haven't even learned to walk yet, but you're already practicing figure skating. I'll give you a pillow, so go and dream big!"
Still playing the brother-lover and sister-lover game.
I'm talking about siblings!
Sang Ning ignored him and continued to cook.
She walked away for a long time, and the heat on the boy's face gradually subsided.
And he also reacted.
He lowered his head and gritted his teeth, muttering to himself, "I insist on being your husband."
"Don't you like touching my abs? I'll take them off to sleep tonight!"
Sang Ning took out some rice and flour from the small cellar hidden in the kitchen, mixed them together and put them aside to wake up.
This was sent by the villagers, and it is not ground finely at all.
There were also some wheat, beans and the like. She threw everything that could be planted into the space.
It takes time to mature.
He took out another big pumpkin, cut it into pieces and put it in the pot to steam.
I'm going to make some pumpkin buns today.
These are for the family to eat. In addition, a pot of wild vegetable steamed buns must be steamed for the Liu family father and son.
After working for most of the day, the old lady and Xie Yurou came back.
They actually brought back a lot of stuff.
"Third sister-in-law, you are seriously ill, why are you hanging out with mother?"
Xie Yurou smiled and said, "This was my mother's idea. She took me, a seriously ill woman, on a tour of the village to see who was worth associating with in the future."
They just wanted something to fill their pillows. Almost everyone who owned land had some, something that was dispensable.
But some people refuse to give and even curse.
Those who are kind-hearted will not only give her food, but will also take an extra bite of food when they see her pitiful appearance.
There are nearly a hundred households in the village, and more than a dozen of them gave gifts.
What I brought back included dried bamboo leaves, buckwheat husks, rice bran, a few scattered dates, a handful of wolfberries, pears, and even a little brown sugar and two goose eggs!
"Who gave you this goose egg?"
Such valuable things, and he gave two of them at once.
"The woman at the easternmost end, who is over 40 years old, is called Aunt Goose. She looks a little abnormal and says the egg was laid by her son," said Xie Yurou.
Sanning: "????"
The old lady said, "Don't worry about whether she is normal or not. She is kind-hearted and worth making friends with. We will return the gifts later. Mother has made a note of the people who gave the gifts."
"Mom, this is a very clever trick of yours." Sang Ning praised.
Now is the time to test people's hearts. In two days, if she finds the water source, then the people who come to help will be icing on the cake, but they will not be as precious as the people who come to help in times of need now.
"I'm not smart. I learned this from your father," the old lady recalled.
"About ten years ago, there was a famine in the north. The people didn't plant any grain during the spring plowing season, and the grain and seeds sent by the court were not enough. The county magistrate didn't know how to distribute them.
Your father disguised himself as a beggar and begged from door to door in the village. Those who gave him a bowl of water or a mouthful of food, and who did not curse or hit others, were finally given grain seeds.
Your father was so dirty when he came home, I even made him take a bath three times."
The old lady smiled as she thought about it, and her eyes were very gentle.
It can be seen that she and the Marquis have a very good relationship.
This is a woman who has been spoiled by a man all her life, and her memories are all sweet.
But the sweeter the memories, the harsher the reality.
Afraid that she would continue to think about it, Sang Ning changed the subject: "Mom, Third Sister-in-law, are you hungry? Look at what I did."
"What did you do again? Let me take a look!" Xie Yurou walked forward with interest and lifted the lid of the pot.
"Wow!" she exclaimed.
What exquisite pastries!
They are small yellow pumpkins, made just like the real ones, with two green wild vegetable leaves stuck on the top.
The sweet and sticky aroma of pumpkin makes people drool.
"Is this pumpkin cake?" the old lady asked curiously.
"This is a steamed bun, um, but it can also be called Chinese sugar-free pastry, hahahaha!" Sang Ning laughed exaggeratedly.
The old lady and Xie Yurou also laughed.
For lunch, I had pumpkin buns with cumin potatoes, fried eggs and chili peppers, and corn porridge.
Liu Dong and his son were each given two large steamed buns and a bowl of thick vegetable porridge.
Neither of them had such a good meal during the Chinese New Year.
It’s said to be lunch, but it’s actually a whole day’s worth!
The father and son squatted at the foot of the wall, eating and wiping their tears.
"That's good, that's good. I won't be afraid of being hungry anymore. Dongzi, remember this great kindness. When we return to Lu, don't forget to bring something back for him."
They are different from the Huo family. They were only sentenced to seven years and can go back in three years.
"Remember, Dad."
Dongzi hid the two steamed buns in his arms and took them back to feed his wife and children.
One portion is enough for the father and the son.
The Huo family closed the door and had a lively meal in the cabin.
Cumin potatoes were so popular that even if I cut twelve of them, they still weren't enough. This was mainly because cumin as a condiment hadn't been discovered or used yet.
I was amazed at how delicious it was once I tasted it.
Furthermore, only a few people have tried chili peppers and have not yet mastered the correct way to eat them.
They are all delicious with rice, and the whole family can’t stop eating them.
I thought the pumpkin buns were enough to last me three meals, but half of them were gone in an instant.
Huo Jingya's face wrinkled into a bun.
"Fourth sister-in-law, we can't make this chili anymore. It's too wasteful. Ugh~" She burped.
Wow, she was actually full!
It’s too extravagant!
Hiccups are contagious, and the three little ones also started burping.
Then Huo Changan, Li Yuzhi...all ate their fill.
"Eat it, don't worry! I've already thought of a way to make money. How about selling these cumin potatoes on the street?" Sang Ning asked.
She saw a few scattered food shops on the street. The government took special care of them and had yamen runners patrolling nearby.
It can be seen that Bai Yi and Rong Kun wanted to strike a balance, and they attached great importance to and encouraged those who were willing to take out surplus food from their families.
When the time comes, she will make a five-spice dish or a spicy dish, and sprinkle some sesame seeds and chopped green onions on top, perfect!
"It will definitely sell well," said Li Yuzhi.
The Huo family had never eaten such delicious food in the capital.
But the key is that it is fried, fried!
It consumes a lot of fuel!
"We're running out of oil." Xie Yurou reported weakly.
"That's easy! Tomorrow I'll go up the mountain and bring back a basket of peppercorns, and we'll squeeze them."
Just kidding, there are so many mountain peppers in the space that it will take two years to finish eating them!
"Okay, I'll do it." Huo Changan immediately said.
In the dim little room, his gaze, flashing with tiny and gentle starlight, fell on the spirited woman.
No concealment at all.
The old lady pursed her lips and smiled.
"Ah, there are some on this mountain too?" Huo Jingya asked doubtfully, "Why don't I see any?"
Xie Yurou nudged her elbow and said, "Your eyes are like wheels, they're spinning so fast, how can you see anything?"
Huo Jingya: "..."
Looking at Li Yuzhi's meaningful eyes, Huo Jingya suddenly understood.
"Yeah, my eyes are almost as blind as a blind person's."
