Chapter 35 Su Ruanruan Cooking



Since the educated youth went to the countryside, each production brigade has accepted some educated youth every year.

These educated youth all came from the city. Even if they were not all spoiled, they had never been to the fields or done farm work.

Forget about asking them to support construction. It would be good enough if they could earn work points to support themselves without having to rely on subsidies from the brigade.

If it were just that it would be fine, but some educated youth always like to make trouble.

Xu Li and Xue Hong were the two educated youth in the Hongqi Production Brigade who loved to cause trouble.

It would have been fine if there had been trouble in the past, and Fu Chunshan could still handle it with patience.

Who could have thought that these two people were so bold that they actually plotted against Fu Wenjing.

If Xu Li really succeeds, the Fu family will never have peace in the future, and Fu Wenjing's future might even be affected.

Thinking of this, Fu Chunshan could no longer sit still and stood up quickly. "I will go to the commune and the Youth Office to discuss this matter. Such a scourge cannot be allowed to stay in our Hongqi Production Brigade any longer."

Even though Fu Wenjing would be returning to the army in a few days, Fu Chunshan was unwilling to let Xu Li and Xue Hong stay in the Hongqi Production Brigade.

If we really let them stay, who knows what trouble they will cause in the future.

Fu Wenjing followed Fu Chunshan out, "Dad, I'll go with you."

"Okay, let's go together."

Fu Wenjing looked at Su Ruanruan, "Ruanruan, go back to your room and rest. Don't go out alone."

"I know, go ahead!"

Even if Fu Wenjing didn't say it, Su Runrun had no plans to go out.

Xu Li and Xue Hong have already been exposed, and it would be bad if they were desperate to do something desperate now.

She should just stay at home and wait until this matter is settled before going out.

Just as Su Ruanruan was about to go back to her room, she was stopped by Liu Feng.

"Sister-in-law, what happened? Why do our father and the seventh brother look so angry?"

Su Ruanruan smiled at Liu Feng, "Fourth sister-in-law, it's nothing."

Just as Su Ruanruan finished speaking, she noticed that Liu Feng's eyes had turned resentful. "Seventh brother's wife, we are all family. If you have something to hide from me, don't you consider me a family member?"

"How could that be possible? You are overthinking it. It's really nothing. Sister-in-law, if there's nothing else, I'll go back to my room first."

After saying that, without waiting for Liu Feng to say anything else, Su Runrun quickly walked into the room and closed the door.

As the door closed, Liu Feng's sight was also blocked, which made Su Ruanruan breathe a sigh of relief.

Although Su Ruanruan knew that everyone is curious, it didn't feel so good when she was the one being gossiped about.

Su Ruanruan originally thought that this matter would take several days to resolve, but unexpectedly it was resolved so quickly.

Only two days later, Xu Li and Xue Hong left the Hongqi Production Brigade.

No one knew where they went, and of course no one cared.

Su Ruanruan didn't ask where Fu Wenjing and the others had gone, as long as they were not in front of her.

For Su Ruanruan now, the most important thing is cooking.

After being married into the Fu family for a few days, it was Su Ruanruan's turn to cook.

As an orphan, Su Ruanruan grew up in an orphanage and learned various survival skills since childhood.

After being able to live independently, Su Runrun studied cooking because she loves eating and her cooking skills are quite good.

But cooking for one person and cooking for twenty or thirty people are completely different things.

When Su Ruanruan cooked for herself in the past, she had plenty of time to think carefully about the dishes, and the meals she made were meticulously crafted, with good color, aroma and taste.

But when cooking now, Su Runrun didn't dare to think so. She had to prepare the meal before the whole family got up, so as not to delay them from eating and going to work.

With this matter on her mind and without an alarm clock, Su Runrun did not sleep well that night and woke up several times.

It was almost five o'clock, when the sky was just getting light, and Su Ruanruan could no longer lie down.

Su Ruanruan had just sat up when she heard Fu Wenjing's voice.

"Wife, why are you up so early?"

"I'm going to cook!" Su Ruanruan replied softly, "It's still early, you can go back to sleep!"

Fu Wenjing did not lie down again, but started to put on his clothes swiftly.

"I'll go with you and help you."

Hearing Fu Wenjing's words, Su Runrun felt warm in her heart and did not refuse.

Both of them dressed very quickly. After a short while, they were dressed, opened the door and walked out.

The yard was so quiet that even the chickens hadn't crowed yet.

When I got to the kitchen, I didn't need to turn on the lights. I just lit the fire in the stove. It was getting brighter outside, so I could see clearly.

The water tank was filled with water last night. Su Runrun scooped some water and poured it into two pots, one large and one small.

The small pot is used to cook porridge, and the big pot is used to steam steamed corn bread.

The dough for steamed steamed buns was mixed by Su Runrun before going to bed last night. After a night, it had been fully fermented, and small holes could be seen when it was peeled open.

This kind of noodles cannot be steamed directly. They need to be rolled first to expel the air inside.

Just as Su Ruanruan was about to make her plans, she was stopped by Fu Wenjing.

"Wife, I'll serve the noodles, you go get something else."

It is strenuous to roll out noodles, especially when there are steamed buns for 20 to 30 people to eat. There is really a lot of noodles, so it is even more difficult to roll out.

Fu Wenjing can't cook, but he is really strong, which is just right for making noodles.

Su Ruanruan sprinkled a layer of alkaline noodles on the chopping board, "Then you should cook it carefully, for at least twenty minutes."

"Okay, leave it to me."

With Fu Wenjing preparing the noodles, Su Runrun carried the basket and went out.

She is going to pick some vegetables from the vegetable garden.

In the vegetable fields in the early morning, all kinds of vegetables are covered with dew and smell very fresh.

Su Ruanruan picked and chose cucumbers, eggplants and peppers.

Early in the morning, the food will be simpler. Su Ruanruan prepares a cold cucumber salad and stir-fried three fresh vegetables.

After the new potatoes came down this year, we dug them all up, dried them, and put them in the cellar, ready to eat whenever we wanted.

Su Runrun took twenty minutes just to wash and cut the vegetables.

By the time she had prepared all the dishes, Fu Wenjing had also prepared the noodles.

At this time, the sky was bright, the roosters began to crow, and the other members of the Fu family also got up.

Su Runrun put the steamed bread into the pot after it was shaped, and then poured the cooked porridge from the pot into the basin.

Fu Wenjing had been standing nearby, and upon seeing this he immediately stepped forward to wash the pot.

Seeing Fu Wenjing rushing to work, the smile on Su Runrun's face never faded.

Just as I was feeling happy, I heard Liu Xiu'e's voice behind me.

"Hey, sister-in-law, why do you let Old Seven help you when you're making breakfast? Who would want a grown man to hang around in the kitchen? If other people knew about this, Old Seven would be so embarrassed!"

Hearing Liu Xiu'e's words, the smile on Su Runrun's face instantly faded.

Su Ruanruan slowly turned her head and looked at Liu Xiu'e indifferently, "What are you talking about, sister-in-law? We are in a new era now, and we emphasize equality for all. Women can hold up half the sky, so why can't men enter the kitchen?"

"I just said it casually, why did Seventh Brother's wife make such a fuss?" Liu Xiu'e laughed as she spoke, turned around and shouted towards the upper room, "Look, mother, it's different now that we're married. When Seventh Brother was at home before, he never cooked. Our Seventh Brother still loves his wife!"

This sounds fine at first glance, but if you think about it carefully you will find that Liu Xiu'e is trying to stir up trouble.

Before Su Ruanruan had time to worry whether Wang Maoni would be angry, she heard Wang Maoni's voice.

"What does the fact that the Seventh Brother loves his wife have to do with you? You're here whining so early in the morning. What's wrong? Do you think the First Brother doesn't love you anymore?"

Su Ruanruan, "!!!"

At this moment, Su Ruanruan didn't want to say anything else, she just wanted to say that her mother-in-law is awesome!

Wang Maoni's ability to confront others is truly perfect.

Liu Xiu'e originally wanted to instigate Wang Maoni to teach Su Ruanruan a lesson, but she didn't expect that she would be squeezed out instead.

She was really angry, but Liu Xiu'e had no way to refute it and could only leave in a huff.

Fu Wenjing had also finished washing the pot by this time, and said in a gentle voice, "Wife, don't take what the eldest sister-in-law says to heart. Our mother is a sensible person and won't listen to her nonsense."

Su Ruanruan nodded heavily, "I know, mother is the best."

Wang Maoni, who had just walked to the kitchen door, heard the conversation between two people in the kitchen. The corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise a little, then she turned around and left.

Su Ruanruan didn't know that Wang Maoni had come and gone, she was waving her homemade stir-fry.

Three Fresh Vegetables is a classic dish. Although it is all vegetarian and does not contain much oil, it is still very popular.

It was Su Ruanruan’s first time to cook a big pot dish. Her arms felt sore when she waved the spatula.

But fortunately, this dish cooks quickly and it didn’t take long to stir-fry.

Under normal circumstances, steamed cornbread can be cooked in fifteen minutes.

But now they are using the big earthen stove of the farmers, which has very strong fire and only needs to steam for ten minutes.

After the dishes are fried and served, the steamed steamed buns are also steamed.

Su Runrun packed up the various dishes, and Fu Wenjing took them out one by one and placed them on the big table in the yard.

A few minutes later, the whole family was sitting around the table.

Liu Xiu'e obviously still remembered what had just happened. As soon as she sat down, she couldn't wait to start finding fault.

"Seventh brother helped with the cooking. I thought Seventh brother's wife could cook the meal to perfection, but I didn't expect it to be just like this!"
