Chapter 88 The Best Mother-in-law's Handbook 10
Before dawn, the door creaked open.
The man with hurried footsteps left behind a panicked back, and after a moment, the room returned to calm.
Feng Wu woke up naturally, stretched himself, meditated on the bed for a while, got out of bed with full energy to put on his shoes, ignored the growing hole in his cloth shoes, and got up to open the door.
The house was quiet. Feng Wu stood in the fenced yard for a while and saw Zhu Dalang carrying a bucket of water on his back and walking home from afar.
The kitchen was as quiet as a chicken. It was obvious that Liu Qiao, the lazy woman, had not gotten up to cook this morning. Feng Wu was too lazy to go to the left wing to call for help, so he went straight into the kitchen.
The kitchen is very tidy. My mother-in-law is a very clean-loving person and keeps the house and the outside in tidy order.
The little remaining white rice and yellow wheat flour were pulled out from the cupboard. At that time, in order to have more wheat flour, farmers ground the whole wheat flour together with the wheat bran. It was not as white and bright as refined flour, but it was ground three or four times with a stone mill, and the taste was no worse than refined flour.
At this time, at the foot of the mountain in the village, the wives and children of the village got up early in the morning and were busy picking wild vegetables with bamboo baskets.
At this time, the daughters-in-law of the Zhu family were stretching their necks waiting for their mother-in-law to prepare breakfast for them. They never thought of picking some wild vegetables to enrich the dishes on the table.
While he was lost in thought, he heard a noise in the yard. He went out to take a look and saw Dalang, who had gotten up early in the morning to fetch water, and Xiaozao from the eldest wife's house.
The child was carrying a backpack as big as an adult. Looking inside, he saw a lot of fresh wild vegetables.
Fengwu only knows one of these wild vegetables - dandelion, also known as dandelion.
I didn't expect that this child was the only one in the family who thought of adding food to the house. From what I remember, this girl seemed to have married a bastard from a poor marquis's family, and the ending was not very good.
The little girl looked up at Feng Wu with a look of begging for praise, her little hands nervously grasping the edge of the backpack.
"Wow! You've picked so many wild vegetables. Our Xiaozao is really good. I'll make you some steamed egg custard later." As he spoke, he looked towards the chicken coop. His original self was diligent and raised quite a few chickens. Thinking of eggs, he patted the little girl's head and said, "Go and see if the chickens laid any eggs this morning?"
The little girl who was praised had a rosy face full of joy. She responded happily and immediately ran into the chicken coop to touch the eggs.
After picking up the wild vegetables in the basket, he decided that he couldn't just make do with breakfast, so he turned around and went to the second room.
Bang, bang, bang! The door panel was slammed loudly. "Second brother, if you don't get up and cook, you won't have dinner today."
Liu Qiao, who had been working hard for half the night, yawned and muttered softly, "Damn old woman, calling my soul so early in the morning!"
Feng Wu was once again called an old woman, and her attitude was very positive. "Get up and move quickly. Second brother, you should get up quickly too. While it's still early, chop the firewood under the courtyard wall. You've been eating free meals all day long. You've got two holes in your eyes, and you're just trying to breathe..."
Zhu Erlang covered his head with his hands, his sleepiness had been scared away by his mother's deafening nagging. The voice seemed to be ringing in his head, and even covering his ears did not help.
"Oh, you are really my mother. You won't let me sleep well so early in the morning!" Zhu Erlang opened the door with a yawn and stared at his mother with resentment.
Feng Wu looked at the slightly dark circles under the eyes of the couple inside the door, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "Did you two go out and rob last night?"
Liu Qiao: "..." She coughed uncomfortably, hurried out the door, and said obediently: "Mom, I'll go cook now."
Feng Wu just said it casually. Seeing the person's uncomfortable face, Feng Wu did not expose her. He just nodded lightly. Then he thought of his second daughter-in-law's dirty temper and quickly made amends: "Remember to wash your paws with soap nuts before cooking. Oh, no, I have to watch you myself..."
Feng Wu pulled Liu Qiao and supervised her to wash herself clean before sending her into the kitchen to cook.
Liu Qiao, who was kneading the dough, came to her senses and thought, "Mother-in-law, this mother-in-law is disgusted with her because she is so dirty..."
While Feng Wu was washing up, he stared at Zhu Erlang who was chopping wood in the yard. This super lazy guy was really lazy and would only move when pushed.
After she has dealt with these bastards enough, she will separate from the family and live on her own. She will then hire a cook with good cooking skills to help her with the cooking, and spend her retirement life in peace and leisure.
"Grandma, Xiaohong and Xiaohei have laid eggs, there are two of them!" Zhu Xiaozao held an egg in each hand and trotted over to show Fengwu the two eggs she had just taken out of the chicken coop.
"Well, not bad, not bad. Take it to the kitchen and ask your second aunt to steam a bowl of egg custard." Feng Wu, who was originally greedy for meat, had planned to secretly kill a chicken in the chicken coop in a few days to satisfy his hunger, but the chicken was laying eggs very hard, and he was reluctant to do so.
As he was thinking, his eyes fell on the willow branch in his hand. He sighed and thought it was really hard to brush his teeth with this willow branch. He threw away half of the willow branch in his hand, looked at the two eggs, and nodded with satisfaction.
How long had it been since this original body had eaten eggs? His mouth was actually watering unconsciously.
After a busy morning, breakfast was served on the table. Looking at the normal rice porridge and Hu pancakes, Feng Wu smiled.
"The second son's wife is a good cook. The porridge is soft and tender, the flatbread is crispy, and the cold-mixed motherwort is fresh and refreshing." He scooped two large spoonfuls of egg custard from the large porcelain bowl and put it into Liu Qiao's bowl. "This is a reward for you."
Liu Qiao swallowed her saliva, picked up a big mouthful with chopsticks and put it into her mouth. The egg custard dripping with sesame oil was so fragrant!
After giving the reward, Feng Wu did not forget to remind him, "Next time, if you prepare breakfast earlier, you can also have egg custard."
Liu Qiao smiled and said, "Yes, Mom, I saved myself from that!" After she finished speaking, she did not forget to raise her eyebrows and smile at Lin.
Lin held the bowl of porridge, ignored her mother-in-law's pointed words, and didn't care about her second sister-in-law's provocation. She just drank the porridge in silence.
He scooped two more spoonfuls of egg custard for Xiaozao and patted the little girl's furry head. "Xiaozao is diligent. She picked a lot of wild vegetables early in the morning. She deserves a reward."
Jinbao saw that there was not much golden egg custard left and he had not yet received his share. He immediately became anxious, "Grandma, Xiaozao and I will go pick wild vegetables together tomorrow!"
Okay!
Considering that the boy didn't open his mouth to ask for the egg custard, Feng Wu scooped a large spoonful for him.
Feng Wu did not show favoritism towards anyone regarding the remaining half bowl of egg custard, and gave each person a small spoonful.
Mrs. Lin, who had lost her appetite, looked at the egg custard in the bowl that was not even enough for a mouthful, and felt inexplicably panicked. Ever since her mother-in-law recovered from her illness, everything seemed out of her control.
Can she still stay in the Zhu family peacefully and comfortably?
The thought of leaving came to my mind again!
How could she, a young lady from a marquis's mansion, eat disgusting pig food every day and deal with the pestering of peasants every night?
Give birth to a son!
Tsk! She never thought of giving birth to a child for this man!
Especially if it’s a son, it will be a big trouble if he is really born.
