The following days returned to normal, and more than ten days passed in this way.
Yun Ningyan and Huo Junshan studied at home every day and didn't go out to play anymore.
However, those kids would come and ask her to go out and play every few days, but she never went.
I study, do exercises, and read books at home every day.
Zhang Hongying has been suffering from severe morning sickness lately, vomiting every day. Huo Jiandang has come twice and taken away some frozen fruit.
Yao Qingqing stayed home quietly for a while, but when she saw Huo Jiandang bring back a lot of fruit, her cravings were piqued.
I also wanted to go find Yun Ningyan to get some fruit.
But Huo Changlan stopped him: "Didn't you get enough last time? You want to go find someone to beat you up again? You can get it if you go."
If I clash with Yun Ningyan again, who knows what she might do next.
Yao Qingqing pouted: "Mom, it's been so long since we've eaten meat. It's been more than ten days since we last ate any, and I haven't had any meat at all. I'm really craving it."
"You'll have to put up with your cravings; you should be grateful to have food at all."
Yao Qingqing said, feeling wronged, "I just want to eat a frozen pear."
Huo Changlan's eyes widened: "You've offended everyone completely, and you still want their things? Do you think she'll give them to you?"
"Should we send my second uncle?"
Huo Changlan...
"Mom, don't you want to eat? We only eat two meals a day at home. I heard from my sister-in-law that my third sister-in-law makes as much meat as you want. Their shredded pork noodles are so delicious. I'm never full. My aunt doesn't cook any meat at all now. I'm so hungry."
Huo Changlan: "Yun Ningyan is a city dweller, she has money, of course she can eat however she wants, how can we be the same? We eat for free."
"Dinner's ready!" Li Xiangyun called from outside.
Everyone rushed out at once.
After Wang Cuihong finished tending the fire, she said, "Mother, I'm not going to eat. I can't eat."
Li Xiangyun asked in confusion, "You used to eat five, six, seven or eight bowls of rice every day, how come you can't eat anymore?"
Wang Cuihong smiled and said, "Mom, I haven't had my period for a few days, and I've been feeling uncomfortable in my stomach lately."
"What? Could she be pregnant?"
Li Xiangyun exclaimed in surprise, "What if she gets pregnant? Both of my daughters-in-law are pregnant around the same time!"
"Eldest daughter, why don't you go to the clinic and get it checked out?"
Wang Cuihong waved her hand: "No need, my period is always right on time every month, it's definitely true. It would be great if it were a son, then Xiaohuzi could have a brother."
Li Xiangyun wiped her hands: "Didn't you say you wouldn't do it for the next two years? Daya is still so young..."
Li Xiangyun called Huo Changgen to come and help her start the fire. She also steamed two bowls of egg custard, one for Wang Cuihong and one for Zhang Hongying.
When everyone sat down to eat, there was only one dish of shredded potatoes, served on a flatbread made from a mixture of wheat and potatoes.
Corn porridge made by boiling.
But Wang Cuihong and Zhang Hongying each had a bowl of steamed egg custard, while Yao Qingqing's face was a little sour: "Auntie, why can they eat eggs, but we can't?"
Li Xiangyun rolled her eyes. What more could someone who eats and drinks for free want?
Want to eat eggs? Dream on!
Huo Changgen also said, "Old woman, there's so much cured meat, if you don't let us eat it, when are you going to save it?"
Li Xiangyun: "If we can't eat it when the wheat is harvested next year? If we eat it now, what will we eat when the wheat is harvested next year?"
Huo Changgen: "Didn't the third brother bring back a lot?"
"Eat if you want, go hungry if you don't. Cuihong is probably pregnant, and the two of them need nutrition, so some eggs will do. As for the others, do whatever you want. If you don't want to eat, get out!"
"What? Cuihong is pregnant?"
Huo Jianguo broke out in a cold sweat. Hadn't he always used a condom? How could she still be pregnant? He didn't want any more children!
He glanced at Wang Cuihong, who felt a little guilty and didn't dare to look at Huo Jianguo.
Wang Cuihong chuckled, "Jianguo, aren't you happy? Little Tiger is going to have a brother."
Huo Jianguo was a little sullen, and his unhappiness was written all over his face.
Yao Qingqing's expression was also not good.
She only said one sentence, but her aunt had a lot to say to her.
Huo Changgen slammed his hand on the table: "So you've learned from the third son's family now, haven't you? The kid wants to eat meat, just get him some, what's going on here?"
Li Xiangyun glared at Huo Changgen, who dared not utter another word, afraid that this crazy woman would twist his ear again.
Yao Qingqing was furious when she saw that her second uncle hadn't said anything about Li Xiangyun. So much meat was just sitting there uneaten; was he just waiting for it to get infested with maggots?
After everyone returned to the house after lunch, Huo Changlan sighed deeply inside. Actually, she was also craving meat.
After tidying up the kitchen, Li Xiangyun massaged her aching back.
There are many people in the family, many people eat, and many dishes are washed, which makes it a bit sour.
Just as I stepped out of the kitchen, Yun Ningyan and Huo Junshan arrived.
The two of them haven't come over for more than ten days.
Yun Ningyan went over to support her and asked, "Mother, what's wrong? Does your back hurt?"
Li Xiangyun shook her head: "It's an old problem, nothing serious."
Yun Ningyan said she was going to the kitchen to get a bowl, and secretly took out a bowl of spiritual spring water and handed it to Li Xiangyun: "Mother, drink this water."
Li Xiangyun: "I just ate, so I can't drink anything right now."
Yun Ningyan had no choice but to say, "I put medicine in it, it would be a waste if you didn't drink it."
Li Xiangyun immediately drank it all in one gulp, and afterwards she felt much better about her back.
Li Xiangyun held Yun Ningyan's hand and said, "Ningning, let's make some dumplings later to save for the New Year. Third brother, go to the cellar and get the meat out."
She called out to Wang Cuihong's room, "Boss, bring out some pickled cabbage, we'll be making dumplings later."
Her shout brought everyone inside the room out.
Everyone was excited when they heard that they were going to make dumplings. They hadn't eaten meat for so many days and were all craving it.
Huo Changgen also came out to find clean things to spread on the snow so that he could put the dumplings out to freeze later.
Wang Cuihong and Zhang Hongying also came out to work, some washing vegetables, some chopping filling, and some kneading dough.
Even Huo Changlan and her two daughters came out.
Yao Qingqing and Yao Tingting, who knew how to make dumplings, washed their hands and waited there to make dumplings.
Only Yun Ningyan had nothing to do, so she stood at the door watching Huo Junshan chop the filling.
She said, "Do we only have sauerkraut filling? Don't we have any other fillings?"
Huo Junshan nodded: "We mainly have pickled cabbage and Chinese cabbage here, nothing else."
Yun Ningyan nodded, walked to the stove, where there was a stool, and sat down.
Before she could even get comfortable, a sarcastic voice said, "Third Sister-in-law, we're all working, and you're just sitting there playing around. If you can play, can't you come out and lend a hand?"
It's Yao Qingqing again!
Yun Ningyan lifted her eyelids, a cold smile curving her lips: "Yao Qingqing, you've been naughty again. Do you want me to hit you, or do you want Dahei to bite you?"
