Chapter 67 Sister, I will go to town tomorrow to return the money you spent on your new clothes

The younger brother openly asked her for money and cried in various ways. Wang Ziru didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Well, it's just a marriage. If the girl agrees with the Wang family, then marry her. If not, advise her to marry someone else as soon as possible."

"No, sister, you can't say that!" Wang Zonghao held his sister, knowing that she was eager to greet his father and brother, and his thin face was wrinkled with anxiety. "You are my good sister, no matter how much money I lend you, I will definitely pay it back in the future."

Wang Ziru rolled her eyes, "Wang Zonghao! Are you still relying on me?"

"No, sister, you don't know that I've been worried about this and can't sleep at night."

In the crowd, Wang Dongsheng, who was surrounded and questioned by villagers, also found his youngest son and his sister. He didn't know what the two siblings were talking about.

"My dear, you are back." A brilliant smile appeared on Wang Dongsheng's dark face. He raised a big crab in his hand high and shouted loudly.

Wang Ziru pushed her brother aside and ran to her old father.

I saw two bamboo baskets in front of the old father, half filled with fish, shrimps and crabs of all sizes.

The wet bamboo basket exudes a salty and fresh seafood aroma.

Many villagers even picked out some better crabs from them, as if they wanted to buy them.

"Dad! You guys fought so much this time?"

Wang Dongsheng chuckled and said, "It's cold now, and it's the fish fry season, so we can't catch much valuable fish near the coast."

"By the way, where's Bao Er? I heard that Bao Er's father is back to visit relatives?"

Wang Dongsheng thought that his daughter and her family had come to the dock to pick up the three of them.

I looked around for a while, but I didn't see my son-in-law.

Wang Ziru waved her hand and said, "Bao'er's dad is slaughtering ducks at home. Let's steam some crabs and roast the ducks tonight. This year, I'll give you a great birthday."

"Hey, you bought a duck when you came back?" Wang Dongsheng frowned immediately, feeling sorry for his daughter, "Why buy a duck? Our family is already poor, and Bao'er's father just came back..."

At this time, Wang Zongming dealt with the villagers, walked over, and looked at his sister with a smile, "Didn't Baoer come to the dock to play with us?"

"He and Zhuzi are playing at home."

The pier was crowded and bustling, with some people from Asahi Town coming to buy seafood.

The Wang family's three sons and father didn't buy much seafood this time, but they sold some valuable goods on the spot.

I took the remaining small fish, shrimps and a few crabs home to eat.

Wang Zongming carried the bamboo basket on a shoulder pole and went home.

The younger brother and old father followed behind, dragging their fishing gear, and walked towards the stone house on the top of the rock.

While walking, Wang Dongsheng was still asking about his daughter and son-in-law.

When the father and his two sons returned home, they first hung all their fishing gear on a bamboo pole in the corner of the yard to dry.

Lin Xiuying saw that there were still many good things in the bamboo basket that her eldest son had brought back, and she smiled gently, "Dad Baoer, how do you like to eat shrimp? Do you like it steamed and dipped in soy sauce?"

"Mom, pick out all the shrimps. Don't steam them. I'll put them where they are. You can steam these crabs." Wang Ziru said.

"You want to grill the shrimp too?"

"No, stir-fry shrimps. You guys prepare some shredded ginger and green onions. Never mind. I'll go inside and do it myself."

Wang Ziru knew that her mother had spent her entire life in a fishing village and all she knew how to do was steam a bunch of fish and shrimps in a pot and then dip them in soy sauce to make a delicious dish.

Can't make stir-fried shrimp.

Turning back, he told the man, "Bao'er's father, make a fire in the yard."

"oh."

The man saw that everyone was busy, but he didn't know what to do for a moment. When he heard the child's mother remind him, he came to his senses and told his brother-in-law that they were going to make a fire in the yard to roast the duck.

"Well, you'd better not make something that only you like to eat..." Lin Xiuying looked at her son-in-law and smiled.

Together with my eldest daughter-in-law, I used basins to pick out the shrimps and crabs.

Wang Ziru carried the cleaned duck in a basin, walked into the kitchen and placed it on the chopping board.

Ginger slices and green onion segments had already been prepared on the chopping board.

She rummaged around and found half a bag of sugar, and unexpectedly discovered half a bowl of honey under the chopping board.

"This is really good stuff. It's hidden so well. They must be afraid that Zhuzi would sneak in and eat it."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked into the kitchen carrying shrimps and crabs.

Wang Ziru was seen holding the bowl of honey in one hand, and scooping honey from the bowl with the other hand, then smearing it on the duck.

Li Hui's pupils shrank, and she put the porcelain bowl on the chopping board, feeling distressed: "Sister, who taught you this? Why do you have to apply a layer of honey?"

What a waste.

If this duck is cooked into soup, everyone can enjoy the delicious soup.

Lin Xiuying also followed her into the kitchen. Seeing her daughter wasting the hard-earned honey, she cried out, "You little bastard! You're roasting a duck with honey!"

"That was something your brother found with great difficulty in the mountains..."

Li Hui smiled awkwardly, "Sister really knows how to eat."

"You don't understand. When you make roast duck, you have to spread a layer of honey on it. When it's cooked, the duck will be shiny and delicious." Wang Ziru spread the honey all over the duck and threw down the earthen bowl in her hand. "A little bit of honey, look how distressed you are."

"You are just wasting the honey, and I don't deserve to say anything." Lin Xiuying quickly put away the honey and hid it somewhere else.

After being marinated in honey and soy sauce.

In the yard, Wang Zongming also lit a pile of firewood.

Wang Ziru brought out the duck that had been marinated for half an hour, and instructed her elder brother to tie the duck to an iron stick, making it into a flexible rack that could be turned over, and then began to roast the duck.

"Watch out, make sure you flip it over."

"Don't worry, I've learned it."

Wang Zongming smiled.

I like this sister more and more. It seems that this girl is smarter than before.

What kind of roast duck is this?

Several men brought chairs and benches to the yard and sat by the fire to chat.

After Wang Ziru gave her eldest brother instructions, she turned back to the kitchen and asked, "Mom, are we going to eat these dishes tonight?"

"Then what do you want to eat, little girl! Mom knows that you have a hard life in the Zhai family, so I asked your brother to go to the town to buy a piece of meat. If we had known, we wouldn't have wasted that money."

My daughter and son-in-law brought back a pig's trotter, which the whole family ate for several days.

I don't plan to eat that piece of pork belly for the time being.

"Cut some lean meat from the pig's trotters you brought tonight, stir-fry a dish of meat, and give it to the men as a snack." Lin Xiuying said.

"You make it sound like we women are not worthy of eating meat."

"You little bastard, you talk nonsense all the time. No wonder your mother-in-law hates you."

Wang Ziru grinned, "Fortunately, now that we have separated, my mother-in-law can't do anything to me even if she hates me."

"I've heard about this, too. How come you didn't get a paddy field? How much food can you grow on two dry fields? In the future, you'll have to rely on your son-in-law to support the family."

"If I don't count on him, can I count on the wild men out there?"

Hearing her daughter's outspokenness, Lin Xiuying was so angry that she wanted to give her two heads off on the spot.

Li Hui watched her husband roasting a duck in the yard. After a while, she returned to the kitchen, took out the radishes and cabbages that had been washed long ago, and began to cut the vegetables.

"Sister-in-law, I'll cook later."

Seeing that there were radishes and cabbages at home, Wang Ziru volunteered.

Stir-fry the vegetables first, then the shrimps last.

Li Hui smiled sheepishly, "You are a guest when you come back, and you are asked to do everything. You will not dare to go back to your parents' home in the future."

"The married girls in our village always eat ready-made food when they return to their parents' home."

"My brother is so lucky to marry such a considerate woman like you." Wang Ziru naturally wanted to eat the ready-made meal, but if she waited for a ready-made dinner, she would probably only have boiled shrimps and crabs tonight.

And boiled cabbage and radish.

Since there is an abundance of food tonight, why not cook it yourself and make the whole family eat and drink well.

Wang Zonghao sat in the yard, warming himself by the fire and drinking tea. His stomach was full, but his sister didn't come out.

So he got up and went to the stove.

Lin Xiuying and her eldest daughter-in-law were busy preparing meals for the family. When they saw their youngest son come in, they thought he was hungry and came in to urge him to eat.

"You little brat! Are you hungry? It's rare for your brother-in-law to come to our house. Why don't you sit in the yard and chat with him instead of coming to the stove room?"

Wang Zonghao scratched his head, walked to the stove, sat down, and helped add some firewood.

Looking at her sister cooking, she said, "Mom, please persuade my sister."

"What should you persuade her to do?" Lin Xiuying looked at her younger son.

"Look how nicely my sister is dressed! It's really expensive."

"That's also your brother-in-law's money. Why are you saying these things here? If your brother-in-law hears it, he will think that the three men in our family depend on him for a living." Lin Xiuying scolded.

Wang Ziru held the spatula in her hand and stir-fried the cabbage in the pot, "Wang Zonghao, don't you think that your brother-in-law has become rich in the army?"

"If he hadn't become rich, could you afford such nice clothes?" Sitting at the stove, Wang Zongming rolled his eyes and said with a pout.

Suddenly, he raised his head again, his eyes sparkling, "Sister, go to the town tomorrow to return this new dress, I'm sure you can get a lot of money back."
