Probing into the space with her mental power, Su Qingxue looked at the pile of cow bones and wild boar bones in the space. She thought that she hadn't chewed bones for a long time, so why not eat bones tonight!
It happened that I caught a wild boar two days ago, and I hadn't eaten the bones yet, so I just stewed them in a pot.
The big bones with soy sauce make me drool just thinking about it.
I took action as soon as I thought of it. The children fell asleep, so I took the bones and went straight to the kitchen to get busy.
First, chop the big bones into pieces, put the bones into the pot, then put the onion, ginger and garlic into the pot, pour half a pot of water, and prepare to blanch them to get out the dirty things.
After blanching, pour out all the dirty water, pour half a pot of water again, wash the bones and pour them in, add various seasonings into the pot, and simmer directly in it.
Just be careful not to let it run out of water and just watch the fire start.
Block all the gaps in the kitchen. Although the nearest houses are quite far away, it is better to be cautious just in case.
Who knows if there is anyone passing by here?
The meat was stewing in the pot. I returned to the house and saw that the children were still sleeping. Thinking of the various internal organs I had cleaned up, I decided to take this opportunity to braise them all at once!
This busy process took more than an hour.
Fortunately, when the house was built, the kitchen was deliberately built very large, and two stove eyes were cut when the stove was cut, so two pots can be cooked at the same time without wasting any time.
Except for occasionally coming to the kitchen to see how the food is cooking, Su Qingxue stayed in the house with the two children all the time.
Although it is impossible for the two children not to need her company, they think that with the presence of their mother around them, they can sleep more peacefully.
Time passed leisurely, and soon it was time for Zhou Huaian to get off work.
Sun Rui followed Zhou Huaian into the yard and saw that the door of the study was closed and there was no movement inside. Thinking that the meal might not have been cooked yet, he subconsciously walked towards the kitchen and prepared to start cooking.
He has long regarded cooking as his daily chore.
I didn't expect that as soon as I opened the door, the aroma of meat hit me, so I quickly went in and closed the door.
"Sister-in-law, why did you cook in advance today? It's hard enough for you to take care of two children at home. Don't do it next time.
It won’t be too late to do it when we get back from get off work, at most we’ll just have dinner later.”
Zhou Huaian was about to enter when the door closed, but the door closed quickly. If he hadn't reacted quickly, his nose would have almost hit it.
Then he heard Sun Ruirui's voice from inside. He felt that his brother was right, but it was a pity that he didn't dare to lecture him in front of his wife.
It has always been his wife's turn to talk about him, not him talking about his wife.
"Your sister-in-law might just be craving for food, so she started cooking. Don't worry, I'll tell her tonight to cook less in the future. Don't tire her out."
Sun Rui simply pretended not to hear his brother's words that he valued women over friendship, and did not take it to heart at all.
My grandfather has eaten so many delicious things from my sister-in-law, so it’s just a matter of cooking a few more meals. There is no problem at all. It is my duty to cook a few more meals.
Not to mention that he and Zhou Huaian were good brothers, so he would not be polite and would just treat this place as his own home.
It can be said that he knew exactly what was in the other houses except the one where Su Qingxue and her husband lived.
Sun Rui checked the situation in the kitchen. There were two large meat dishes and steamed cornmeal buns piled high on top of the dishes.
There are two and a half pots of food, how can we finish them?
It's easy to guess that half of it will be divided into the cowshed, and my grandfather will be able to eat meat again.
I was grateful that my grandfather had never suffered any injustice after he was sent down to the countryside. It could even be said that he was living a better life than before. As I thought about things in my mind, my hands' movements became more skillful.
"Since sister-in-law has prepared everything, let's prepare to eat!"
The bones and various offal in the pot were stewed until soft, enough for dinner. The rest were all placed in the pot. A separate basin was filled with cornmeal buns, which she carried directly to the living room.
Zhou Huaian followed behind and picked up the dishes.
He started calling his wife's name before he even got there.
Su Qingxue was reading a book in the room with great interest. When she heard Zhou Huaian calling her, she immediately put the book back into the space.
She didn't respond to him directly, fearing that she would shout too loudly in the house and scare the two children who were enjoying themselves.
I hurried out of the house and saw the bowl in his hand. I knew he was calling me to eat. "I was waiting for you to come back for dinner. I didn't stay outside today."
When he heard that he was delayed outside, Zhou Huaian thought that the vegetables at the hot spring had already been picked, and some leafy vegetables needed to be replanted. He should be able to sell another crop of vegetables before the New Year, so he couldn't delay it.
"Wife, I may be back a little late tomorrow. I just harvested the vegetables last night, and I have to sow the seeds again today."
When Su Qingxue heard that it was a serious matter, how could she not agree?
Although she can only exchange 200 yuan at a time, it is still a small amount of money for her.
But for other families at that time, it was more than the annual income of a normal family, so there was nothing to be dissatisfied about.
"Go ahead! I'll heat up the food for you in advance so you can have something to eat when you come back."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, daughter-in-law."
"Sister-in-law, you must be exhausted after making such a sumptuous meal today. I will make breakfast tomorrow morning so you don't have to get up so early. Take more rest to avoid exhausting yourself."
Sun Rui must also perform well in front of his sister-in-law. Anyway, he is planning to stay in his sister-in-law's house before getting married.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Su Qingxue watched Sun Rui rushing to do the work and didn't care. It would be nice if she could feel better.
The province always feels that it has taken advantage of the couple.
In fact, there is no need for that. After all, in addition to his monthly salary in the factory, he also receives a food subsidy of more than 40 kilograms. He still eats lunch in the cafeteria, which is equivalent to breakfast and dinner. It is enough for him to eat anyway.
Not to mention other tickets, every time a ticket was issued, it was used to buy things and then placed at Su Qingxue's house for everyone to use together.
Even if they were brothers, I don't think they could do better than him.
Because it gets dark quickly in winter, Zhou Huaian and Sun Rui went to the hot spring to grow vegetables after get off work. They didn't dare to waste too much time. Apart from an hour going back and forth, the rest of the time was not long at all.
It took about three days to finally plant all the seeds.
This made Su Qingxue breathe a sigh of relief. There were still many wild animals roaming around in winter, especially those that were extremely hungry. She was really worried that they would be unlucky and encounter one.
Now that I don’t have to go anymore, I feel relieved and at peace.
