Chapter 141: The Battle of the Xu Family
"It's still the same, not very energetic. I gave it some water, but it didn't drink much."
Speaking of this, the children were quite sad.
Da Zhuang has been in our family for several months and has long been accepted as a member of the family.
It is definitely heartbreaking when something like this happens.
Liu Yunshuang didn't say anything else and asked the children to eat first.
I bought a lot of meat today and I have to clean it up in the afternoon.
I only had three pounds of meat coupons left, which I was going to use to make dumplings during the Chinese New Year.
The rest, I asked her to buy them all.
In addition, I also bought two sets of offal, along with pig's trotters, large bones and so on.
There are ten pounds of pork belly and ten pounds of pork bones.
These are enough to eat before the New Year.
There is a lot of pork belly, it is impossible to eat it all.
Leave about one pound and make the rest into bacon.
You can take it out whenever you want to eat it, and it can be kept for a long time.
Moreover, the taste is different after being marinated with salt.
Later, it can be used for stir-frying or making soup, which is very delicious.
The ribs are also washed, blanched, drained and separated.
It's cold outside now, so just freeze it.
The same goes for big bones, you can stew them more later.
Bone soup can be used to cook noodles and it is very flavorful.
She and Xu Zhiqing were busy, while Xu Zhili was outside keeping watch.
Xu Zhiyi didn't go out because the weather was too cold.
At this time, we must be careful not to let everyone know.
Even eating has to be done secretly.
In the evening, a large pot of ribs and potatoes was stewed, and the children ate with relish.
This was something that was unimaginable in the past.
“Mom, it’s cold in this room too.
It's okay when there's sunshine during the day, but my hands are really cold at night.
Otherwise, let’s make a brazier!
So much firewood is burned every day, and it’s all wasted.”
Xu Zhiqing said this while looking at her expression.
When they were at the old Xu's house, only Old Mrs. Xu and Xu Lanchun knew how to use the brazier.
The rest of the people can get nothing at all.
It’s not that they can’t afford the brazier, but the firewood for cooking every day is limited, and it’s all dug away by these two people, leaving nothing for others.
"Yes, you reminded me that we need to get a few more.
The east room should also be put away. The vegetables have not grown well in the past two days."
This is also true. Although the spiritual spring water is effective, its temperature is not good enough and its effectiveness is limited.
Now, they have to heat the kang in the east room every day and put the bottoms of the baskets on the kang.
This ensured that the vegetables were not frozen to death, but the situation was not very optimistic after all.
"Yes, it would be better if we had a brazier, and we could put it on the ground."
"Okay, I'll go ask the Third Master tomorrow. He knows how to make a brazier."
The mothers and daughters didn't talk much and went to bed quickly.
Now we use new quilts and mattresses, and with the warm kang, we all like to lie in bed, it’s so comfortable.
Liu Yunshuang has a lot to do, including making shoes for several children.
Now Xu Zhiyi's condition will be better soon. She has stored up thick cotton clothes, which will keep her warm.
But this is more difficult.
Xu Zhiqing couldn't help either, and she was busy as hell because she had other things to do.
I don't know why, but the weather seemed to suddenly turn cold.
She wanted to make a brazier, so she told the Third Master.
People agreed immediately. Now, to make this, we just use clay, it doesn’t have to be anything fancy.
To some extent, it is a skill.
Liu Yunshuang said she would give the Third Master some labor fees, but was scolded in return.
Well, there are still many days to come.
I will never forget the kindness these old couple have shown me.
When life gets better next year, we can do it openly.
As soon as I got home, Li Yuelan came.
"Sister Yunshuang, are you making shoes?"
She was smiling and looked in a good mood.
"Well, it's cold this day, and the children don't have cotton shoes yet.
I am in a hurry, so I have to make it quickly."
“Who knows what’s going on this year, it’s suddenly cold.
By the way, I have saved some eggs at home. I didn’t go to the last market. Do you want some more?”
This is really like someone sending you a pillow just when you are sleepy. She was just thinking of finding time to ask.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"How many are there in your family?"
"Not many, twenty-one in total. The weather is cold, and the chickens don't like to lay eggs anymore."
"Okay, send them all to me then."
Hearing this, Li Yuelan's eyes lit up with joy.
"Really, that's great.
Sister Yunshuang, you are really my savior. It’s so cold and I don’t want to run anymore.
By the way, did you hear the shouting from Lao Xu's family last night? "
Well, there seemed to be some movement, but she was busy cleaning the meat and didn't look carefully to distinguish it.
"I didn't quite hear it. You know, we live far away."
It’s not that far, but there are only two households on the east side of the avenue.
Naturally, it was defined by the large force in the west.
"I tell you, yesterday was a rough one.
The Xu family didn't know how to do it, so the whole family went to Qingyang Town to discuss Xu Lanchun's marriage.
You just avoided your eldest sister-in-law, her mother and her daughter. Did you all appear together yesterday?"
Li Yuelan looked at her with an understanding look.
Liu Yunshuang was a little speechless. This was the case of sitting at home and having a pot fall from the sky! "We didn't go together. We just met at the supply and marketing cooperative.
She was arguing with Xu Lanchun, and I went in to buy something at the time, and I saw it. "
This is also true, she doesn't want to say more.
“Anyway, people say that the eldest sister-in-law is with you.
That old lady Xu's swearing was really unpleasant.
The new son-in-law is still here, and you don't know how to restrain yourself, tsk tsk tsk ~"
“It’s really depressing, everything can be linked to me.
Did I ask them not to inform Du Ruohong? How ridiculous."
Li Yuelan knew that she might not have expressed herself clearly and hurried to make up for it.
“Sister Yunshuang, that’s what I said at the beginning.
Later they started talking about what happened before. The eldest sister-in-law was also very powerful. She joined the old lady in scolding each other for more than half an hour.
Later, her eldest brother couldn’t stand it anymore and persuaded her to go back.”
Persuade her to go back? How could Du Ruohong give up so easily? She looked like she was about to explode with anger yesterday.
You can't blame her, what she did was just disgusting.
That's how it is in the village, even your own relatives treat you like this.
As for the rest, you can just step on them whenever you want.
This is also why Liu Yunshuang must excel in everything. You have to live on.
"Look, I knew you guessed it.
I'm not trying to persuade him to go back. Xu Lanjiang is not a manly person.
He started fighting and slapped his sister-in-law in the face.
Then, the couple started fighting again, and Old Mrs. Xu took the opportunity to go over and pinched them several times.
We were right in front of it, and we couldn’t stop it even if we tried to pull it.”
"What? You actually started it?"
Oh my God, with Du Ruohong's personality, how can this matter be resolved peacefully?
