After an undisturbed night, Jiang Manyue woke up feeling refreshed.
Jiang Manyue took a piece of butter bread and a box of milk from the space for breakfast. After eating, she quickly grabbed Lu Junan who was rushing out.
She hadn't given Lu Jun'an any supplements during the days Lu Lin was at home, but now that Lu Lin was gone, she had to continue giving him supplements.
"Don't rush out to play. You haven't taken your supplements in a few days. It's time to take them today."
Lu Jun'an also remembered that he used to drink supplements every day, but since his uncle came back, his aunt stopped giving him any.
"Aunt, why can't you drink when my uncle comes back, but can drink again when he leaves?"
Jiang Manyue made up an excuse and said, "If you drink this, you'll grow bigger. I'm afraid your uncle will snatch it from you."
Lu Jun'an suddenly realized, "So that's how it is, Auntie is so nice to me!"
Jiang Manyue prepared the tonic and stuffed it into his hand, "Drink it quickly, and you can go out and play after you finish it."
Lu Jun'an drank up all the sweet supplement happily and grinned at Jiang Manyue.
"It's so delicious, Auntie! I want to drink it every day so I can grow taller and protect you in the future!"
Jiang Manyue pinched his little face and said, "Okay, Auntie will wait for Jun'an to grow up."
Lu Junan nodded contentedly, turned around and ran out to play.
Jiang Manyue washed the cup, tidied up, and went to Jiang's house.
Miao Xianghua was just looking for her. When he saw her coming, he quickly dropped the work in his hands and pulled her into the house.
"Lu Lin returned to the army yesterday?"
Jiang Manyue nodded, and then Miao Xianghua asked, "Are you two okay? Did he mention divorce when he came back?"
"No, my mother-in-law seemed to have said something to Lu Lin, and Lu Lin said that I should stay at home and take good care of the family. His allowance will be divided into three parts, one for my mother-in-law and the rest for me."
Miao Xianghua finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. "He's definitely thinking it through. If he really dares to bring up the matter of divorce, I won't let him off."
Jiang Manyue began to brainwash her again, "Mom, look, I took good care of the Lu family, and what happened? Lu Lin came back and didn't divorce me, and he even gave me most of his allowance. How great is that."
Miao Xianghua thought about what his daughter had said before and laughed, "My daughter is really smart. She has taken the allowance. From now on, the Lu family won't be able to talk about divorce."
Jiang Manyue nodded in agreement, "That's right, Mom. I'm definitely right. Our family and the Lu family will get along well. I'll treat the two elders and Jun'an well. In the future, Lu Lin's blessings will be shared by our family."
Jiang Manyue took out some more money and bills and said, "Mom, take these. Lu Lin gave me enough. I can't use it all. You can use it."
Miao Xianghua didn't want it at first, but after hearing Jiang Manyue say that Lu Lin could give her 70 or 80 yuan a month, which was not much for household expenses, she finally accepted it with peace of mind.
Miao Xianghua was in a very good mood after receiving his daughter's filial piety, so he wanted to invite Jiang Manyue to have dinner at home.
But there was nothing good to eat at home. After thinking about it, she said, "Man Yue, you rest here for a while. You and Jun An can have lunch at home. I'll go kill our chicken that doesn't like to lay eggs."
With that, Miao Xianghua stood up and walked out, ready to catch the chickens from the chicken coop.
Jiang Manyue originally wanted to stop them, but after thinking about it, she decided not to stop them. She just killed the chickens that didn't lay eggs. She would go to the county town in a few days and bring back a few chicks.
The Jiang family is large and can raise a lot of chickens. The chickens they raise now are actually not up to the standard. She will add a few more chicks and see how many can survive. If there are too many, they will just kill them and eat them.
Miao Xianghua rushed into the chicken coop, spotted the hen pecking at food, and grabbed it.
Speaking of the hen, Miao Xianghua was about to go to the kitchen to get a knife to kill the chicken, but he saw his fourth daughter-in-law Chen Li coming back stealthily with a backpack in her arms.
Miao Xianghua looked at her strangely. "Lili, what are you doing? Didn't you go out to pick grass for the pigs? Why are you back so soon?"
When Chen Li saw Miao Xianghua holding a chicken, the one at home that didn't like to lay eggs, she knew she was going to kill it. She quickly waved at her, "Mom, please let the chicken go! I picked up a rabbit!"
Miao Xianghua's eyes widened. "What did you say? Picked up a rabbit?"
Chen Li moved the grass on the backpack and showed Miao Xianghua the rabbit inside with its hands and feet tied with grass.
"This rabbit was very stupid. When it saw people coming, it wanted to hide in the hole. However, it missed its aim and hit the rock at the hole entrance. That's when I picked it up."
When Miao Xianghua saw such a fat rabbit, he no longer had the heart to kill the chicken and just threw it away.
"Hurry, hurry, kill the rabbit quickly. I'm inviting Manyue and Jun'an to have lunch at home. Rabbit is much more delicious than chicken."
Miao Xianghua was very excited. He asked Chen Li to take the rabbit to the well, and he hurried back to the kitchen to get a knife.
When Jiang Manyue was about to come out and tell Miao Xianghua that she was here to roast chicken, she saw Miao Xianghua and his fourth sister-in-law Chen Li squatting by the well, busy "killing chickens".
But something seems wrong with that chicken. How can it be gray?
When Jiang Manyue got closer and took a look, she realized that it was not a chicken, but a rabbit!
"Mom, where did this come from?"
Miao Xianghua looked up and saw Jiang Manyue, and quickly made a shushing gesture to her, "Don't shout, this is something your fourth sister-in-law found on the mountain. Don't let anyone hear it, or we'll have to hand it over later."
Jiang Manyue quickly shut up and dared not say a word.
If she handed over such a fat rabbit, her mother would probably be so angry that she wouldn't be able to eat for three days.
"Mom, let me cook it later, and let you taste my cooking skills."
Miao Xianghua refused without a second thought, "You've never cooked rabbit meat before. If you can't make it well, just let Mom do it."
Jiang Manyue kept begging for a long time, and Miao Xianghua was really annoyed by her and had to agree, but she had to watch from the side.
"Okay, Mom, just wait and see."
After saying that, Jiang Manyue went into the kitchen and secretly added a lot of oil into the oil bottle at home.
Rabbit meat has a relatively low fat content, so if you want it to taste good, you have to use more oil. Jiang Manyue was afraid that the Jiang family's oil bottle could not withstand her use, so she could only add some oil first to prevent Miao Xianghua from being heartbroken.
After adding oil, Jiang Manyue went to her private plot and picked a lot of green peppers, planning to make stir-fried rabbit meat with green peppers.
The green peppers grown here are not very spicy, and the children can eat them normally. Not only can they be used to stir-fry rabbit meat to enhance the flavor, but the peppers in the dish can also be eaten as a dish to go with rice.
After Miao Xianghua and Chen Li finished processing the rabbit, seeing that it was still early, they hung it in the well and waited until lunchtime to take it into the kitchen.
Jiang Manyue also felt that it was still early, so she simply told Miao Xianghua that she was going back to Lu's house to get some seasonings, and by the way, she would tell Lu Jun'an to come to Jiang's house for lunch at noon.
