Su Ruobai's first dinner after returning from Shanghai was quite lavish.
A pot of braised pheasant, and a pot of braised wild rabbit.
Two pheasants and two rabbits were stewed.
There are many people in my family, and they are all quite capable of producing a lot of food, especially those four eggs.
They all have big bellies.
There was also a wild rabbit, which Aunt Xiao had Jin Dan deliver to Uncle Xiao.
Xiao Erbo almost blew a snot bubble from his nose.
He grinned from ear to ear: "Oh, this is good, this is good! Old woman, get me my wine. I want a drink tonight."
Then, he got slapped by his own wife.
When Jin Dan returned and told Xiao Aimin about these things, Xiao Aimin chuckled and said, "My second brother is no good; he's completely controlled by his second sister-in-law."
She had no idea that her two sons behind her were giving her knowing but unspoken looks.
It's like you're not completely under my mom's thumb.
Waiting for the two pots of meat to be ready.
Then everyone sat down at the table to eat.
Aunt Xiao also made a pot of rice and cornmeal porridge.
They call it broad beans here.
First, put water and rice in the pot, and then wait until the rice is almost cooked before putting the soaked cornmeal into the pot.
This cornmeal needs to be soaked in water.
Soak thoroughly.
Ideally, there should be no lumps of flour; it should be completely mixed.
That's how it tastes.
Then cook over high heat for a while until the cornmeal is fully cooked, then remove from the pot.
This way of eating is quite luxurious.
Normally I just add a little cornmeal, but this time I also added rice.
The main reason is that her third daughter-in-law had just returned from Shanghai.
I'm so tired.
I was just heartbroken and then I cried a lot.
We need to eat some refined rice and flour to nourish ourselves.
As for Xiao Yichen, Aunt Xiao curled her lip.
Seeing that Xiao Yichen had already had his second bowl, this was just a bonus.
The staple food is cornbread.
When stewing chicken, place it directly against the side of the large iron pot.
By the time the chicken was done cooking, the pancakes were also cooked.
The side that was touching the iron pan was roasted to a golden brown and crispy, while the other side absorbed the aroma of the chicken.
What's even better is that the part of the pancake closest to the broth is directly immersed in the chicken soup.
It has absorbed the essence of chicken soup, and it's so delicious it'll make your tongue tingle.
Xiao Yichen has already built five.
Aunt Xiao looked on with a pout.
This is all thanks to her third daughter-in-law.
Otherwise, we'd have to kick him out.
What kind of mess is this?
Xiao Aimin picked up the small wine cup and took a sip.
This wine cup is not very big.
One cup is just a small sip.
Drink it in several portions, taking a sip each time.
It was absolutely beautiful.
Another bite of chicken.
It's even more beautiful now.
This is what living life is all about!
Even a god wouldn't trade her: his third daughter-in-law is incredibly capable.
Xiao Yiyun and his wife also picked up some rabbit meat.
Don't get me wrong, they're not being greedy or neglecting their children.
On the contrary, they love the younger ones more.
Because the chicken stew we used today was made with dried hazel mushrooms.
The stewed rabbit was made with sun-dried potatoes.
Well, let's just say it this way.
If you stew these two ingredients with the meat, then the meat won't be needed.
The delicious ingredients became mushrooms and potatoes.
Northeastern cuisine truly excels in its ingredients.
The same thing looks completely different in Northeast China and elsewhere.
At that moment, the couple had only one thought in their minds: following their third sister-in-law meant they would have meat to eat.
Su Ruobai and the four little ones specifically picked out potatoes and mushrooms to eat.
It's fragrant and chewy.
Having a piece of meat once in a while is nice.
The four little ones, their mouths greasy with food, declared: "It has to be this third aunt; we won't trade her for anyone else."
The family ate to their hearts' content before they dispersed.
Before leaving, Aunt Xiao reminded Xiao Yichen to be more mindful of his actions in the future.
Let's avoid any further misunderstandings.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy to get through.
Xiao Yichen broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this.
It's three against one, a mixed doubles match, that's easy.
Wait until the couple has walked away.
Xiao Aimin stared blankly at his eldest brother's courtyard, "Ah, if only the eldest brother were here!"
The couple also ate some.
Aunt Xiao's smiling face suddenly fell.
"Alright, old man, what are you doing? We've already asked someone to invite you three times. Do you really want this old man to go and invite you?"
"You can think of your own way; I can't afford to lose face like that."
After saying that, he swept his shirt and turned to enter the courtyard.
Xiao Aimin took out his large pipe and began to fill his pouch with tobacco.
Under the cover of night, no one could see the expression on his face as he lowered his head.
Neither Xiao Yiyun nor his wife said anything.
They've already gone to ask them once.
They wouldn't even let us in the door, let alone give us a drink of water.
This means they don't intend to acknowledge anyone anymore.
As for the three golden egg brothers, they didn't say anything at all.
In short, darkness can always hide a lot of things.
...
When she left, Su Ruobai had a look on her face that said, "I'm wronged, I'm strong, I won't say anything."
Once inside her own home, Su Ruobai's expression changed to "whatever."
Xiao Yichen was surprised to see his wife's expression change.
But they dared not say anything.
His wife is still angry!
Doing all this is basically asking someone to take care of you.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yichen breathed a sigh of relief.
The fact that you're still angry with yourself means you still care about yourself a little... right?
He wasn't quite sure either.
Once home, Xiao Yichen truly took his attentiveness and thoughtfulness to the extreme.
As soon as Su Ruobai sat down at the kang table, Xiao Yichen quickly poured her some water.
