Chapter 123 The First Hot Pot in Winter



As the two were pushing the cart on their way back, they saw four or five people running towards them from the other side of the road.

The two of them almost couldn't dodge and collided with each other, but fortunately they were smart and quickly abandoned the car and hid by the wall.

"Sister-in-law, is this a group fight?"

Jiang Yanli grabbed Tang Xinyi's arm and stared at the group of people with some fear.

"It doesn't seem like it. Let's just keep quiet and wait for them to pass!"

Tang Xinyi was also a little scared. These people rushed over in a hurry, and it was obvious that they had bad intentions.

Although it wasn't directed at them, it still made them a little scared.

"You two bitches, why did you leave your bikes in the middle of the road?"

When the group of people rushed up to the two of them, one of them kicked Tang Xinyi's bicycle.

If she hadn't been worried about being beaten by these people, Tang Xinyi would have rushed up and slapped this guy twice.

But because of this delay, Tang Xinyi had already seen the crowd rushing up from behind.

They were members of the public security station wearing red armbands, chasing and shouting with batons in their hands.

“Don’t run!”

“Don’t run!”

Only after the two groups of people had completely passed by did Tang Xinyi and Jiang Yanli start pushing their bicycles.

"Sister-in-law, let's go quickly. It seems that the group of people we met before were not good people!"

Tang Xinyi deeply agreed with her sister-in-law's words.

"Hurry up and leave this troubled place!"

After this scare, the two of them rode much faster and forgot the cold winter for a moment.

When he was about to reach his yard, he saw Zheng Xiulian standing at the gate waiting anxiously.

"You're finally back! I heard today that there are spies in our town, and many people are trying to catch them!"

"How come these damn spies appear here?"

"There's already not enough food this year, and the people are worried. Add to that these human disasters, and I think our customers will be even more afraid to go out!"

Zheng Xiulian quickly led her daughter-in-law and daughter into the house, then closed the door and took the two back into the house.

"Mom, what spy are you talking about? Can you tell me in detail?"

Jiang Yanli and Tang Xinyi have been working in the supply and marketing cooperative, so they have never heard of this.

"This afternoon, the security team came door to door to search and verify the population. They told us that there were spies in our town and told us to be extra cautious when going out and about. If we see anyone unfamiliar, we must report it immediately!"

"Didn't you see that when I came back today, every household had their doors and windows closed? They were worried that they would be implicated!"

Since ancient times, enemy spies have been the most hated.

The Japanese were driven out many years ago, but I didn't expect that there were still enemy spies lurking in their country.

"It seems we have to be more careful when we go out next time. Let's go back and find the wrenches and pliers at home so we can take them with us for self-defense!"

It makes sense to carry this thing for self-defense, and it can also be explained even if you encounter a patrol by the security team.

These two women can't stay at home, after all, they have to work, so it's not too much to bring a few tools for self-defense, right?

"Yes, your sister-in-law is right. I'll go find the tools right away. You two can choose!"

After hearing what her daughter-in-law said, Zheng Xiulian thought it made sense, so she went to the toolbox and took a few handy tools to the main room.

"The hammer is too heavy, I'll just use this wrench!"

Jiang Yanli looked around and finally chose a wrench that was not light but not too heavy.

"Then I'll choose this claw hammer!"

“Even though the claw hammer isn’t big, getting hit by it isn’t easy!”

Seeing that the wrench had been picked up, Tang Xinyi chose a claw hammer.

"Okay, I'll feel more at ease if you guys go out with weapons."

"I've been worried about you two this afternoon, but I didn't dare leave the house for fear that something might happen to the children, so I haven't had time to make dinner yet!"

"Now that you two are back, what do you want to eat?"

Now that her daughter and daughter-in-law have returned home safely, Zheng Xiulian finally feels relieved and starts to think about what to eat in the evening.

“I want to eat hot pot!”

Tang Xinyi raised her hand. She was too lazy to do it by herself on weekdays. Her sister-in-law could only help her out at most. She couldn't even cut the meat properly.

My mother-in-law is here today, so why not have some hot pot?

"Then I'll go clean the hot pot stove, and Yanli will help your sister-in-law wash the vegetables!"

Zheng Xiulian didn't dare let her daughter do the job of cutting vegetables because her skills were not up to par.

"Auntie, we can also help wash the vegetables!"

There are two large pots of hot water boiling in the pot. Just add some cold water when you need it.

Otherwise, if you rely solely on cold water, you could freeze someone to death.

"Okay, you two can help too, but remember to roll up your sleeves so your clothes don't get wet!"

Zheng Xiulian looked at the two children's active work and did not say anything to stop them from working.

Just like my daughter-in-law said, when the family eats together, the food tastes better if everyone helps.

Otherwise, it is not appropriate to rely on only one or two people to cook while the others just lie there and wait for food like big bosses.

The men in the Jiang family are not lazy, and they all know how to cook.

Regardless of whether it tastes good or not, at least there is someone to help when my wife is inconvenient.

Since the two children have come to their Jiang family, they must inherit the fine traditions of the Jiang family men.

Pampering daughters and raising sons in poverty is definitely the comprehensive index of raising children in the Jiang family.

Several women were busy working, some cutting meat, some washing vegetables, and some cooking.
