Chapter 73 Sumu Boiled Eggs
After dinner, Sun Erni instructed Yang Jinsheng to take out several usable washbasins in the house.
"Jinsheng, wash the eggs one by one. There is a lot of chicken shit on them. Be careful not to break them."
Sun Erni finally bought a hundred eggs, which made Sister He very happy. She kept saying that if she needed more in the future, she could ask her for a discount. At this moment, the eggs were all densely packed in the basin, taking a bath.
"Mom, when did you buy so many eggs? What are you going to cook?" Li Huifen looked at her mother-in-law's series of actions with some curiosity. Even if she was giving them to her third brother's wife, they wouldn't be able to eat so much. Besides, boiled eggs cannot be kept!
"I just bought them. I'll cook them tonight and give two to each of the neighbors in this building tomorrow. By the way, I also bought a few pounds of fruit candies. I'll give ten to each family, and then it will be perfect." Sun Erni answered as she took out a small cloth bag from the cupboard.
"Mom, you are too partial. I didn't see you make such a big fuss when I gave birth to Zhenzhen and Ningning. Qiuyan, you didn't make such a big fuss when you gave birth to Lili, right? Tell me, am I too partial?" Li Huifen exploded when she heard this. It was not enough for her to say it herself, but she had to drag Su Qiuyan into it. This was really too partial.
Su Qiuyan was actually very dissatisfied when she heard her mother-in-law say that, but she has always been unwilling to speak up, so when Li Huifen asked her, she just washed the dishes in her hands silently without saying a word.
Sun Erni didn't think she was biased. Even if she was biased, it was justified. She raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "You said I was biased? Okay, if any of you give me a grandson, I will follow this process and give you a set. I, Sun Erni, will keep my word."
"Mom, you are being unreasonable. You know very well that ..." Li Huifen was so anxious that she jumped up and down. Knowing that she just wanted to have a son, yet she still said this. If he wasn't trying to make her angry, what could he be?
"What do I know? Now Xinbai has given birth to the eldest grandson of our Yang family. She is the great contributor to our Yang family. Giving her some red eggs is nothing. You will have a lot to feel resentful about in the future." Sun Erni stated her partiality clearly. She will favor whoever makes her look good.
Su Qiuyan listened to her mother-in-law's words and secretly made up her mind. She must take this folk remedy this time. She didn't believe that God looked down on her. She must give birth to a son. She lost the position of the eldest grandson, but she would never have too many grandsons. When she gave birth to a son, her parents-in-law would definitely treat her like they did to her third brother's wife. She must work harder.
Li Huifen was about to say something when she accidentally caught a glimpse of Su Qiuyan's ferocious face. She was startled, "Qiuyan, what are you doing? Is your face cramping? That's too scary."
Su Qiuyan lowered her head quickly after hearing what Li Huifen said. After adjusting her expression, she replied softly, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? You were too excited just now and stepped on my foot. How can I not have cramps on my face? It hurts so much."
"Really? Did I step on your foot? Why didn't I feel it?" Li Huifen was a little confused. Did she really step on it just now?
"I stepped on it." Su Qiuyan nodded seriously.
Li Huifen touched her head and said indifferently: "Oh, I'm sorry, I was just excited, but mom..."
"Okay, keep it to yourself. I don't want to hear it." Sun Er Nicole didn't care what they thought. She was the one in charge now and she had the final say.
"Jinsheng, have you washed the eggs?" Sun Erni shouted outside.
"Part of it has been washed, and half is left." Yang Jinsheng also shouted at the top of his voice.
"I'm dying, why are you so loud? What if you scare my grandson?" Sun Erni came out angrily and pulled Yang Jinsheng's ears hard. Really, he is already a father, but he has not improved at all.
"Mom, oh, it hurts, please let go..." Yang Jinsheng felt aggrieved. He just heard his mother ask so loudly, so he answered loudly subconsciously.
"Jinqiang, move the eggs in and put them in the pot to boil. I'll be back soon." After giving the instructions, Sun Erni hurried out.
Yang Jinqiang came to the kitchen carrying a basin of eggs. He whispered, "Huifen, don't make mom angry. Look at you, you always like to jump out of everything, but you don't see you get any benefits. Be smarter." After saying that, he glanced at Su Qiuyan. My second brother's wife is really smart!
"Boil the eggs, mom will be back soon. I'll buy you a box of clam oil tomorrow, you've run out of that box." Yang Jinqiang knew that his wife was the kind of person who would give a sweet date after a beating, so she would feel that the date was very sweet.
Li Huifen was a little unconvinced at first, but after hearing what her husband said, she softened her temper. She glanced at Su Qiuyan with some embarrassment and whispered, "Who would use that greasy clam oil in the middle of summer? They just want to waste money."
"Then I won't buy it, and I'll save money."
"Hey, please don't do that. You said you would buy it for me. What do you care if it's greasy or not? I can't keep it for winter!" Li Huifen hurriedly grabbed her husband's hand, fearing that he would regret not buying it for her.
Yang Jinqiang was helpless, "Okay, okay, I'll buy it, and boil the eggs quickly."
Li Huifen then smiled with satisfaction, quickly put all the washed eggs into the big pot, opened the coal stove wide, and fanned it several times to make the coal stove burn vigorously.
Sun Erni came in with a large steamer, and said with a smile, "Luckily I remembered that your Aunt Xu has a large pot, so I can borrow it to use."
"Mom, how do I boil these red eggs? I've never seen anyone boil red eggs." Li Huifen was a good-tempered person. She would calm down after being angry for a while. Now she was following Sun Erni happily to see how to boil red eggs.
Sun Erni also knew her character and said with a smile: "What's there to not know? It's very simple. Look, this is sumac, used for dyeing." As she spoke, she untied the cloth bag she had just taken out of the cabinet, and inside was some things that looked like dry grass.
"Fill this pot with water, then put all the sumac in, put more, the color will look good, cook for ten minutes or so." Sun Erni instructed Li Huifen to boil the sumac water. Then she looked at the other pot and instructed: "Qiuyan, the eggs are cooked, take them out and put them aside."
"Mom, the eggs are all washed and here. What do you want me to do?" At this time, Yang Jinsheng also brought in the last few eggs. He looked down at the slowly changing color of the hematoxylin water in the pot with a curious look on his face. "Mom, this is the water for boiling red eggs? It's not poisonous, right?"
"Just shut up. I get a headache listening to you talking." Sun Erni rolled her eyes at her younger son. She used to like him quite a bit, but now that her eldest grandson was born, she found her younger son annoying no matter how she looked at him.
