Chapter 120: Was it just her illusion a few days ago?
Because her family didn't buy new cotton-padded clothes, Sun Weidong was dissatisfied and nagging her, blaming her for being too fussy 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 unhappy.
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 rolled 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 keep throwing tantrums at me, do you believe I will beat your butt until it blooms?"
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 your child as a stepmother! I don't want you anymore!! Bad woman!!"
As he said that, 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 what he said to Sun Weidong, she almost died of anger!
Naturally, Sun Weidong was not happy to hear him talk about his mother like that.
She immediately frowned and reprimanded him: "How can you talk to your mother like that, kid? Your mother beat you because you were disobedient and threw a tantrum! Apologize to your mother now!"
Xiao Douzi was already angry, and when he heard him say this, he immediately started crying and refused to do it.
"You, you guys, I don't want you guys anymore! Wow!!!"
Having said that, he turned around and ran out, crying loudly.
At this time, it was already dark outside. Xiaodouzi was only a few years old, so Sun Weidong naturally didn't dare to let him run away alone, so he chased after him in a hurry in anger.
"Little Bean, stop right there!"
Zhou Xiaomei raised her foot but didn't move in the end.
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 anymore 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 large 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 cheered immediately: "Yeah! We can eat now!!"
"Great! I can finally eat meat. I'm starving to death!"
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 made of two-grain flour 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 liver, pig lungs, and pig heart, took out a few sections of the large intestine, cut them into pieces, and put them on a large plate separately. She also cut the pig liver, pig lungs, and pig 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 soup.
The method is very simple, and the drink is also very warm to the stomach.
Wash and cut the ginger into shreds.
The cilantro that she had planted at the door some time ago had sprouted. Although it had not grown too big yet, the small sprouts were edible. She picked some and washed them for later use.
Add clear soup to 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, mix starch with vinegar, and thicken with running water.
Then, crack two eggs, pour them on top and beat them into frangipani. When they roll again, pour them into a large soup bowl, drizzle with sesame oil and sprinkle with coriander sprouts. 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 everyone.
Eat the braised pork with steamed buns made from 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 felt a little embarrassed.
"Did I eat too much..."
Song Shi smiled and said, "I am happy because you eat a lot. It means that the food cooked by my sister-in-law suits your appetite! What is the thing that a cook likes to see the most? Of course, it is to see the food that he cooks, and he may eat it all!"
Zhou Tingyue also laughed: "You are growing up, so you need to eat more. What's a few steamed buns? Come to me, I'll give you as much as you want! And I won't be happy if you don't eat enough! 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 complained: "If I don't drink that half bowl of soup, I will eat more than my brother!"
Zhou Tingyue patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, you are all little calves, each one 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 that Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin have grown taller? It seems that after this summer vacation, they have caught up with me!"
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! Boys grow fast 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 braised meat for him, which contained some chopped large intestines, pork liver, and pork lungs.
"Take these back!"
Xiao Zhang didn't want it at all.
But Song Shiwei insisted: "Hurry up and take it. Tomorrow, 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 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 were all asleep.
Zhou Tingyue brought the foot washing water and helped her wash her feet.
"You've been running all day. You must be exhausted. 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 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 meet acquaintances at the military hospital. If her gynecological problems were to be spread, 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 to sew shoe soles, they can talk about other people's affairs.
If this matter really got known to others, the entire residential compound would probably know about it!
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. Otherwise, I won't be at ease!"
