Chapter 120: Was it her illusion a few days ago?
Because their family didn't buy new cotton-padded clothes, Sun Weidong was dissatisfied and complained to her, blaming her for being too calculative and offending everyone.
Xiaodouzi has been making a fuss for two days. Now, perhaps because he smelled the aroma of meat wafting from the yard, he became even more dissatisfied.
He pushed the bowl and chopsticks away and insisted on eating meat.
"Wow!!! I don't care!! I want to eat meat! Go buy me some meat! Why can Zhou Xinxin and Zhou Wei's families eat meat all day long, but we can't!"
Just as Sun Weidong was about to persuade him, Xiao Douzi covered his ears, sat on the ground and started rolling around, "I don't care! I want to eat meat! I want to eat meat!!"
Zhou Xiaomei was so angry that she picked up the broom and hit him on the butt.
"Eat, eat, eat! All you know is eating!! If you mess with me again, do you believe I will beat your butt until it bursts?"
As a result, Xiao Douzi was not afraid at all. Instead, he glared at her fiercely: "Bah! Bad woman!! You are a bad woman! I am definitely not your biological child! You are not as good to the child as a stepmother! I don't want you anymore!! Bad woman!!"
As he said this, he crawled into Sun Weidong's arms and cried, "Dad, can you find me a stepmother? It would be best if she was like Zhou Xinxin's mother!"
Zhou Xiaomei was already stunned by what he said just now, and now after hearing him say that to Sun Weidong, she was almost angry to death!
Sun Weidong was naturally unhappy to hear him speak like that about his mother.
She immediately frowned and reprimanded him: "How can you talk to your mother like that? Your mother beat you because you were disobedient and rolled around! Apologize to your mother now!"
Xiao Douzi was already angry, and when he heard him say that, he immediately started crying and refused to do it.
"You, you guys, I don't want you anymore! Wow!!!"
Having said that, he turned around and ran out, crying loudly.
At this time, it was already dark outside. Xiao Douzi was only a few years old, so Sun Weidong naturally didn't dare to let him run away alone, so he angrily chased after him.
"Little Bean, stop right there!"
Zhou Xiaomei raised her feet but did not move.
She leaned against the door frame with a dejected look on her face, looking at the dark night sky outside, and suddenly two lines of tears fell.
The broom in his hand fell to the ground with a "click".
She couldn't control herself any longer and started crying with her hands covering her face.
Song Shiwei naturally didn't know all this. The meat she stewed was out of the pot, and she was carefully cutting a small piece of intestine with a knife to taste it.
Almost everyone was staring at her.
She tasted it and nodded, "Mm, delicious!"
Zhou Xinxin and Zhou Wei immediately cheered: "Yeah! We can eat now!!"
"Great! I can finally eat meat. I'm starving!"
Song Shiwei knew that everyone was hungry, so while the meat was stewing, she used the coal stove to heat up a lot of steamed buns that Zhou Tingyue brought back from the cafeteria.
Call Zhou Tingyue to take it out in the steamed bun basket and bring it to the dining table first.
She took out the pig's liver, lungs, and heart, removed a few sections of the large intestine, cut them into sections, and put them on a separate large plate. She also cut the pig's liver, lungs, and heart in half, and placed the slices on three plates for Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin to take out.
She cut the pork tripe into shreds and prepared to make a spicy and sour tripe shreds soup.
The method is very simple, and the drink is also very warm to the stomach.
Wash ginger and cut into shreds.
The cilantro planted at the door some time ago has sprouted. Although it has not grown too big yet, the small sprouts are edible. She picked some and washed them for later use.
Add clear soup into the pot, add shredded pork, shredded ginger, soy sauce, salt, pepper, and some white wine and cook together.
Bring to a boil, skim off the foam, dilute the starch with vinegar, and thicken with running water.
Then, crack two eggs, pour them on top, beat them into egg flowers, roll them up again, pour them into a large soup bowl, drizzle with sesame oil, sprinkle with coriander sprouts and it’s done!
As soon as she brought out the soup, the sour and spicy taste immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Song Shiwei served a bowl to each person.
Eat the brined pork with a steamed bun made of two-grain flour, and have a sip of spicy and sour shredded tripe soup!
Oh, it’s so delicious!
Xiao Zhang simply couldn't stop eating.
He ate seven steamed buns in a row before stopping.
After he finished the last mouthful of soup in the bowl, he realized how much he had eaten and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Did I eat too much..."
Song Shi smiled and said, "I'm happy that you eat a lot. It shows that the food my sister-in-law cooks suits your appetite! What's the thing a chef likes to see the most? Of course, seeing the food I cook being eaten up!"
Zhou Tingyue also laughed: "It's the time to grow up, so you have to eat more. What's a little steamed bun? Come to me, I'll give you enough! And I won't be happy if you eat less! Didn't you see? Even Zhou Cheng ate four steamed buns!"
Zhou Cheng rubbed his belly and laughed: "That's because my mom's cooking is so delicious!"
Zhou Lin also ate three and a half and drank a large bowl and a half of soup.
He said dissatisfiedly: "If I didn't drink that half bowl of soup, I would have eaten more than my brother!"
Zhou Tingyue patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, you are all little calfs, each of you is more greedy than the other!"
Song Shiwei looked at Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin, his eyes full of surprise: "Hey, why do I see Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin have grown taller? It seems that they have caught up with me after this summer vacation!"
Zhou Tingyue asked the two children to stand up and compare.
"Yeah, he has definitely grown taller. He must be about 1.6 meters tall now! Boys grow fast when they are in their teens!"
Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin were very happy.
Song Shiwei also laughed.
“You’ve really grown up!”
After dinner, Xiao Zhang helped wash all the dishes because he felt embarrassed.
Song Shiwei also packed a lunch box of brined pork for him, which contained some chopped large intestine, pork liver, and pork lungs.
"Take these back!"
Xiao Zhang didn't want it at first.
But Song Shiwei insisted, "Hurry up and take it. Tomorrow my sister-in-law will have to ask you to go to Qing City with me. I have also ordered pig offal and a big pig head from Sister Juan from the supply and marketing cooperative, and I am counting on you to bring them back for my sister-in-law! If you don't want them, I will go by myself tomorrow!"
Zhou Tingyue also smiled and gestured for him to take it.
Xiao Zhang had no choice but to accept it happily.
"Then sister-in-law, I'll pick you up tomorrow morning!"
Song Shiwei nodded: "Okay!"
After Xiao Zhang left, the children all fell asleep.
Zhou Tingyue brought some footbath water to help her wash her feet.
"You've been running all day. Are you tired? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"
Song Shiwei shook his head.
"I really don't feel any discomfort. My stomach doesn't hurt anymore, and I don't feel anything anymore!"
Was it her illusion the past few days?
But Zhou Tingyue was still worried: "Although you feel fine, after these two busy days, I will still accompany you to the hospital for a check-up!"
He knew that she didn't want to go for a check-up because it was easy to run into acquaintances at the military hospital, and if her gynecological problems were to be spread out, it would have a bad impact.
Especially the women in the family compound, when they have nothing to do, they love to gossip. Even when they sit together and mend the soles of shoes, they can still gossip about other people.
If this matter really got known to others, it would probably spread to the entire family compound!
As if he was afraid that she would refuse, he hurriedly said, "Let's not go to the military hospital. Let's go to Qing City and find a gynecologist to help you check it out. Otherwise, I won't be at ease!"
