"Second brother!" Shen Chuning hugged the flustered Shen Zhengliang, "Second brother, I'm sorry..."
"I was ignorant before and caused trouble for my father and you as well."
In fact, there are three strong laborers in their family, and the third brother sends back his salary every month.
If they didn't have to support her, a useless girl who did nothing but had to have good food and clothes, their family would have been able to live a good life.
The marriages of my eldest, second and third brothers would not have been delayed until now.
The eldest brother is the same age as Zhou Yubai. He is already 28 years old, but has not yet got married.
It’s not because the eldest brother is a bad person, but because she is a bad person and she has dragged down the family’s financial conditions.
If other families had so many strong laborers, they would have more than enough food and money from work points every year to eat or spend. But in order to buy her fine grains, good cloth, and the most fashionable shoes, her family not only did not save any money, but also suffered from famine every year.
Shen Zhengliang looked at Shen Chuning's guilty look with red eyes, and his heart softened.
Over the years, he had actually been dissatisfied with his father's insistence on pampering his younger sister, but every time he saw his delicate and soft sister, he could no longer get angry.
If his sister called him "Second Brother" in a sweet voice again, he would feel that his sister, who was so beautiful and as pretty as a fairy, should be pampered. How could she go to work like these rough guys?
Shen Zhengliang rubbed Shen Chuning's soft hair and gently scratched her nose which was a little red from crying. "Okay, you are going to be someone else's wife, and you are still crying. It will be so embarrassing if others see you."
Shen Chuning burst into laughter, grabbed Shen Zhengliang's arm and shook it, and said coquettishly: "Second brother, then can you take me to buy cotton tomorrow?"
Shen Zhengliang knew that Shen Chuning meant to go to the black market.
This was something he had already promised Shen Chu Ning, but it was delayed because Shen Chu Ning's foot had not healed yet.
Shen Zhengliang looked at Shen Chuning helplessly and dotingly, “Okay, brother will go with you to buy cotton.”
In the evening, Shen Chuning volunteered to cook.
Shen Zhengliang was reluctant at first.
But I thought that my sister was going to get married soon. If she couldn't do anything well when she went to her husband's family, she would definitely be disliked by them.
So he didn't argue with Shen Chuning anymore.
It is midsummer, and vegetables are the most abundant in this season.
There is a small vegetable garden in the Shen family’s yard.
In the vegetable garden, peppers, eggplants, and tomatoes are all full of fruits. The long cowpeas are also growing exceptionally well, and the water spinach is also growing very lushly.
Shen Chuning cooked a pot of thick cornmeal porridge, picked the leaves of the water spinach, leaving only the stalks, chopped them into small pieces, and fried them with chopped sour cowpeas and minced meat.
I also fried some eggplant with minced meat and mixed it with some sugar-coated tomatoes.
Shen Zhengliang helped Shen Chuning light the fire in the stove, and then went to feed the chickens and ducks.
Now every family can raise chickens and ducks according to the number of people in the family, one chicken and one duck for every person.
There are five people in their family, but the third brother's grain and oil supply has been transferred to the army and he is no longer in the production team, so only four people are counted. Their family can only raise four chickens and four ducks.
After Shen Zhengliang fed the chickens and ducks, he smelled a delicious aroma coming from the kitchen.
When he entered the kitchen, the minced meat eggplant made by Shen Chuning was just out of the pot.
Looking at the greasy bowl of eggplant and half bowl of minced meat, Shen Zhengliang swallowed unconsciously.
But at the same time, he felt a little painful.
My sister really doesn’t know how expensive fuel and rice are until she runs the household!
Who uses so much oil and meat when cooking?
Even rich landlords wouldn’t dare to eat like this!
Shen Chu Ning didn't know what his second brother was thinking.
She picked up a piece of eggplant with a smile and said, "Second brother, can you help me taste the eggplant I made to see if it has enough salt."
Shen Zhengliang endured the pain and swallowed the eggplant that Shen Chuning gave him.
The eggplant is stewed until it is soft and tender, and it absorbs the aroma of fat and meat. It melts in your mouth as soon as you put it in. The aroma of fat and meat immediately fills your mouth, and it is so fragrant that your tongue will fall off.
Although he felt sorry for the oil, he couldn't help but give Shen Chu Ning a thumbs up, "It's delicious! Second brother has never eaten such delicious food since he was a child!"
Shen Chuning smiled cheerfully, "Second brother, please bring the food to the table. I'll go find Dad and Big Brother to come back for lunch."
As soon as she left the yard, Shen Qingsong and Shen Zhengxu came back.
"Dad, big brother, you're back just in time. It's time for dinner."
"Okay, okay!" Shen Qingsong responded quickly.
When he looked at his daughter, his eyes were full of pride and satisfaction. His daughter was so wonderful, beautiful, sensible and capable.
When they saw the four dishes on the table and the fragrant thick rice porridge, they couldn't help but widen their eyes.
There was a look of heartache on his face.
Among these four dishes, two are meat dishes. Although the tiger skin green peppers do not have meat, they look greasy, and I guess a lot of oil was added.
The cold-boiled tomatoes have no oil or meat, but are covered with a thick layer of white sugar.
It's not a festival, who dares to eat like this?
Shen Chu Ning saw his father and two brothers staring at the dishes on the table without moving their chopsticks for a long time.
She simply took three large bowls, filled each of them with a large bowl of porridge, and used a spoon to scoop minced meat and cowpeas into their bowls.
"Dad, big brother, second brother, please try it. This minced meat and cowpea is sour and spicy, and it's the best to eat with porridge."
Shen Qingsong came back to his senses and quickly called his two sons, "Eldest son, second son, eat, eat, don't waste your sister's cooking skills."
As soon as the food entered their mouths, the aroma filled their mouths, leaving the father and his two sons with no time to talk.
