Chapter 106: Throbbing
Mrs. Niu was very touched when she saw the several pieces of chicken and mushrooms in the bowl.
I want to make good friends with the Cui family when I go back.
Shanmao is still young and doesn't care what his mother says. His mind is full of food.
The aroma makes my mouth water.
"Mom, let me taste the soup."
Niu came back to her senses and looked down at her son's greedy look. She said with a mixture of sadness and amusement, "Look how greedy you are. Drink some soup first and then eat it when your father comes back."
"Your father works very hard outside every day. He needs to eat something good, otherwise his body won't be able to bear it."
Mrs. Niu feels sorry for her own man.
On weekdays, she would save any delicious food for her man.
The family relies on her husband to work and farm to provide food for their livelihood.
Shanmao said: "I know, I'll wait for Dad to come back and have dinner together."
Although Niu loved her son, she also knew that the head of the household had to do physical work and had to eat more, otherwise his body would not be able to bear it.
Only if they are good managers can their family have food to eat.
If the head of the family becomes ill, they will be left with nothing.
Nowadays, the villagers rely on the men in their families for their livelihood. When it comes to farming, they can contribute their strength, but they are not strong enough to plow the fields.
After a while, Liu Cang came back chatting and laughing with the villagers.
He entered the door and put down the iron chain.
Niu heard the noise and hurried out, "Are you back?"
"Well, I'm back. Here, this is ten cents for today."
As he said this, Liu Cang carefully took out ten cents from his pocket and gave it to Niu.
Niu took the copper coins and couldn't help counting them.
Liu Cang smiled and said, "Sister Cui personally delivered the copper coins to the village head. After we finished the work, the village head counted them out and gave them to us in front of us. How could there be any mistake?"
Niu shook her head and said, "You don't understand. You don't understand the joy of counting money."
"I'll be happy no matter how many times I count these ten copper coins."
"I've already worked for three days, so that's thirty cents. If I work a few more days, there's more."
Niu was very excited when she thought that she would have dozens more coins in her hands.
With these copper coins, life at home will be better and we won't have to be so tight.
Seeing his wife happy, Liu Cang also felt happy. Thinking about the ten cents of wages every day, he was more motivated to work.
"Hurry up and wash your hands and have dinner. I'm telling you, there's mushroom chicken tonight."
"This was given by the Cui family."
Liu Cang went to wash his hands. When he heard the words, his hands stopped moving. "What?"
"Given by the Cui family?"
Niu explained what happened.
Liu Cang said, "I just said that the Cui family is very good and considerate. I asked you to help them out when you have nothing to do."
Niu said, "You don't need to tell me that. How could I not know?"
Shanmao couldn't help it any longer, "Dad, Dad, come and eat, Mom said she must wait for you to come back to eat."
Liu Cang said, "My son is hungry. You can eat first."
Niu shook her head and said, "I'll wait for you together. It's not worth that little time."
"That's right, Dad. Food tastes better when we eat together."
Liu Cang looked at his wife and son and felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart.
After Niu took the food out of the pot, the family ate the cabbage soup and mushroom chicken with steamed buns, and they found it delicious.
"This soup alone is delicious even when eaten with steamed bread."
“This soup is so delicious.”
Liu Cang had drunk chicken soup before, but it never tasted like this. This chicken soup was fresh and flavorful.
Mrs. Niu picked up some chicken for her son to eat.
After eating it, Shanmao grinned so hard that his teeth were visible behind his ears. "Mom, it's so delicious..."
“It’s delicious.”
After eating, Shanmao smacked his lips a few times to savor the aftertaste of the chicken.
"Dad and Mom, you guys eat too."
Niu asked Liu Cang to eat it, but she herself was reluctant to eat it.
“You eat!”
Liu Cang was reluctant to eat it and asked Niu to eat it, so Niu quickly put the food into Liu Cang's bowl and asked him to eat it.
The two of us held each other tightly for a while.
Shanmao is used to it. Whenever his family eats a piece of meat, his parents have to give way to each other for a while.
"If you do some hard work and stay healthy, you can take better care of the family."
After Niu said this, Liu Cang ate a piece. After eating it, he was stunned. "I didn't expect chicken to be so delicious."
I’ve eaten chicken before, the kind stewed in clear soup with a little salt, and I thought it was delicious. I never thought chicken could be so delicious.
Liu Cang was stunned.
Looking at the reactions of her family, Mrs. Niu wondered if she could ask Jiang Zhiluo how she cooked the chicken to be so delicious.
But then I thought, cooking skills are the secrets of each family, so I can't just ask casually.
There were six pieces of chicken in the bowl. Niu and Liu Cang ate one, and the remaining four pieces were left for their son.
Shanmao looked at it and said, "Dad and Mom, why don't you eat?"
Liu Cang smiled and said, "Dad doesn't like chicken very much, so you should eat it."
Niu said, "Yes, we want to drink some cabbage soup."
Shanmao didn't doubt anything, as there were some things his parents didn't like to eat before.
One day when Shanmao grew up, he finally understood the hard work of his parents. It was not that they didn't like the food, but because it tasted so good, they were reluctant to eat it and left it for him.
I just didn’t understand when I was a kid, so I believed it.
…
Cui family
After dinner, Jiang Zhiluo began to prepare the pig offal and braise it.
She rested only after she finished her work.
The next morning, Jiang Zhiluo woke up early.
I was thinking about making pot cakes early in the morning, so I slept lightly and woke up automatically at dawn.
Looking at Cui Hejin who was sleeping next to her, Jiang Zhiluo quietly prepared to get up.
But he had gotten used to taking care of Jiang Zhiluo in the past few days, so Cui Hejin would wake up as soon as she made the slightest movement.
Cui Hejin looked at her and asked with instinctive concern: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell or are you hungry?"
Jiang Zhiluo met Cui Hejin's bright and clear eyes, and her heart beat slightly.
"Did I wake you?"
"No, what's wrong with you?"
She blinked and explained softly, "I woke up and wanted to get up."
"You should sleep a little longer."
Cui Hejin looked at Jiang Zhiluo, who looked energetic and did not look like she had not had a good rest, so he felt relieved.
"Yeah, I'll get up too."
Jiang Zhiluo asked: "Don't you want to sleep a little longer?"
"No more sleep."
Then both of them got up.
Cui Hejin added warm water for Jiang Zhiluo.
"You wash with warm water."
Jiang Zhiluo blinked her big eyes, looked at him softly and said, "I'm fine now, there's no need to use warm water."
She's really not that delicate.
"It's still a little cold in the morning, so wash with warm water for the next two days."
Jiang Zhiluo saw Cui Hejin's cold expression and knew she couldn't argue with him.
I could only wash my face with warm water as he said.
After washing up, Cui Hejin helped Jiang Zhiluo pour out the water in the basin without her having to do anything.
It seems like it's just a habit of the past few days.
Jiang Zhiluo was actually not used to being taken care of like this.
I feel like I'm being a bit pretentious.
She took out the meat she bought yesterday and prepared to chop it to make the mushroom and meat filling for the pot cake.
Cui Hejin had just finished washing up and came over and said, "Let me do it."
Jiang Zhiluo was stunned. She deeply suspected that Cui Hejin got up with her just to help her with the work.
Jiang Zhiluo didn't know that it was her weak, painful and sweaty appearance that morning that made Cui Hejin still feel scared and worried that she would feel unwell.
