Zhou Zhengting blushed and refused to answer it, looking at Jiang Qingyue as if asking for help.
Jiang Qingyue quickly pushed the pheasant over and said, "Mom, take it. This is a little gift from Zhengting. You just helped me pick a lot of mushrooms."
Seeing her daughter say so, Wang Xiuzhi finally accepted it and then glanced at her two daughters-in-law.
"It's from the old family. Kill these two chickens tonight and stew them with mushrooms so that everyone can enjoy a good meal."
"The second family just said that she wouldn't eat even a piece of the chicken. The other one was given by Qingyue's family. She must be even more embarrassed to eat it. You can fry some mushrooms for her for dinner."
When Liu Chunlan heard that there was no share for her, she felt angry and anxious, but she didn't know what to say.
He had no choice but to glare at the two pheasants and took the second one back first.
Wang Xiuzhi personally carried the two pheasants and was extremely excited along the way.
He would show off to everyone he met, "This pheasant is so big and fat, isn't it? My son-in-law sent it to me as a gift to show his filial piety to me and his father."
"How can you catch such a fat pheasant in such a cold weather? It's incredible."
Not long after, the news that Zhou Zhengting caught a pheasant to show his filial piety to his father-in-law and mother-in-law spread throughout the brigade like wildfire.
This mountain behind originally belonged to their team. Normally, if someone caught a rabbit or a pheasant, they would keep it for themselves. It all depended on one's ability.
It's not really a rare thing.
What shocked everyone was why Zhou Zhengting suddenly changed his attitude overnight?
It seems that this man is indeed different after getting married.
The people at the educated youth center on the other side also heard the news. It was cold today because the snow had melted, so everyone stayed at the educated youth center and did not go out.
But it doesn't stop the news from spreading everywhere.
Fang Ruyun was already in a bad mood because she had been rejected by Zhou Zhengting yesterday. After hearing the news, she was even more furious.
The other educated youths were also full of regret, "With Zhou Zhengting's skills, we could eat wild game occasionally when he was around, but now that he has married, he has forgotten us."
Some people followed suit and said, "Of course, she has her own family now, and she has parents-in-law who she doesn't even have time to take care of, so how can it be our turn?"
After hearing people say this, Fang Ruyun felt even more sad.
But Zhou Zhengting is now in the heat of his marriage and he can't listen to anything I say.
The only solution now is to wait until the Spring Festival when they return to Beijing together, and then try to persuade him to divorce Jiang Qingyue.
When he returns to the big city, he will surely come to his senses.
At worst, parents at home will advise you.
Thinking of this, Fang Ruyun began to silently look forward to the holiday as soon as possible.
.......
On the other hand, Jiang Qingyue was very grateful for Zhou Zhengting's behavior just now.
If he hadn't appeared in time, the whole family would have quarreled in public over a chicken.
Now that he took the initiative to step forward, it not only eased her embarrassment, but also allowed the Jiang family to hold their heads up high in the village.
The previous forced marriage incident has finally come to an end.
If you think about it carefully, Zhou Zhengting is actually quite generous when it comes to food.
Since he is willing to help, I won't let him work in vain.
He had to make every effort to prepare the chicken and mushroom stew that he had been dreaming about.
As soon as she got home, Jiang Qingyue put down the basket and started cooking.
The chicken had already been cleaned last night, so Jiang Qingyue planned to chop it up and stew it first.
But in modern times, Jiang Qingyue always bought chickens that were chopped into pieces, and she was a little scared the first time she chopped a whole chicken.
I tried several ruthless actions but none of them turned out well.
Seeing that the chicken was about to be chopped into pieces, Zhou Zhengting quickly stopped her and said, "Let me do it, you go do something else."
Jiang Qingyue felt relieved and quickly handed the knife to him.
He poured out all the basket of mushrooms he had just picked.
I picked out the weeds and leaves, washed a small basin of vegetables for frying today, and spread the rest on the winnowing basket in the yard to dry.
By the time all this was done, Zhou Zhengting in the kitchen had also finished his work.
Seeing the evenly sized chicken nuggets, Jiang Qingyue couldn't help but look at him with higher regard again.
I originally thought that the educated youth from Beijing were all old men who were indifferent to worldly affairs and would not even help when someone fell down.
I didn’t expect that Zhou Zhengting could not only do housework, but also hunt and was even good at chopping meat.
It’s a pity that such a man doesn’t belong here.
If it were her, she would make the same choice.
Jiang Qingyue shook her head with a wry smile, dispelled her wild thoughts, and quickly stir-fried the chicken and stewed it with mushrooms.
Then he quickly kneaded the dough, pinched off a few pieces of dough, patted them into pancakes and stuck them to the edge of the pan.
This was the first time she made this pancake. She had only seen it made once before at a fellow villager’s home when she went to do field research.
She thought it was very novel at the time, so she watched for a long time and learned it secretly.
Unexpectedly, one day, she would have to use such a big iron pot to cook three meals a day.
Fortunately, the process of making the pancake does not require very high technical content and it was quite successful.
But just now she was so focused on these two things that she forgot to cook porridge.
Thinking of this, Jiang Qingyue felt a little embarrassed. She had originally wanted to cook a meal to thank him, but ended up overdoing it.
"Zhou Zhengting, I forgot to cook porridge. Can I have plain water for dinner?"
Zhou Zhengting smelled the aroma coming from the pot. He was already a little hungry, but he didn't care at all. "It's okay. I still have malted milk. I can just make it and drink it later."
As he said that, Zhou Zhengting turned around, opened his cabinet, took out a can of malted milk and handed it to Jiang Qingyue.
Jiang Qingyue had seen this thing on TV, and she also knew that in that era, families that could afford malted milk were considered to be well-off.
Just like the original owner’s family, although their living conditions were good in the brigade, they would not usually buy malted milk to drink.
Jiang Qingyue took the malted milk with a little curiosity, then picked up the hot water and made a bowl for Zhou Zhengting in his bowl.
When the food was served, Zhou Zhengting frowned slightly as he looked at the jar of boiled water in front of Jiang Qingyue.
Didn’t I make it clear just now?
He handed her the whole can of malted milk, but she still refused to make herself a bowl?
Could it be that he was pretending to be pitiful to gain my favor?
Zhou Zhengting narrowed his eyes, thinking that what he had done today had gone beyond his plan.
If this continues, this woman will only become more and more demanding.
I must not let her have this illusion.
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhengting withdrew his gaze and started eating without saying a word.
Jiang Qingyue, who was sitting opposite him, seemed to be fine. Seeing him try the chicken stewed with mushrooms, she was a little nervous. "How does it taste? Is it the same as what you had before?"
Zhou Zhengting nodded, "The taste is right."
Strictly speaking, it was better than any other chicken stew with mushrooms he had ever eaten before.
It's obviously the same thing, and there aren't many seasonings at home, so why does the food she makes taste better?
Even the pancake was of the right hardness and softness, so he couldn't help but pick up another one after finishing one.
