The pig intestines are already braised and flavorful enough to eat directly, but if you want them spicy, you need to stir-fry them separately with chili peppers.
The braised pig intestines shrank immediately. Wei Yuyan took them out and cut them into small rings for later use. After washing the pot, it was ready to be stir-fried.
Cut green and red bell peppers and garlic into rings. Heat oil in a wok, stir-fry the peppers until fragrant, add salt to taste, then add the pork intestines and stir-fry evenly before serving.
She served two bowls, each with the same amount of food. Wei Yuyan wasn't sure if the children would like it, so she didn't leave too much.
She thought Brother Zhang would definitely like this kind of dish; most men like it.
After stir-frying it, Wei Yuyan covered the pig intestines with a bowl and carried it to Sister Xiuhua's house.
The reason for covering it up is to prevent dust or insects from crawling in when walking on the road.
"Sister-in-law Xiuhua, are you home? I'm here."
Wei Yuyan saw that the door was open, but still stood at the door and called out.
"I'm home. Come in, I was just picking vegetables in the backyard."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua came out carrying a cabbage.
"Sister-in-law Xiuhua, try some pig intestines. I brought you some."
Wei Yuyan lifted the bowl and leaned closer.
"Is this still pig intestines? It doesn't smell bad anymore, it only smells good."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua swallowed hard as she looked at the delicious-looking dish in front of her.
"Yes, come."
Wei Yuyan picked up a piece of pig intestine with her hand and fed it to Sister-in-law Xiuhua, then picked up a piece for herself as well.
The moment the pork intestines enter your mouth and you chew them, the spiciness and aroma burst forth, and they have a wonderful chewy texture.
"This is so delicious!"
Sister-in-law Xiuhua was still incredulous; she couldn't believe that pig intestines could smell so good.
"I told you it would be delicious! Next time you go to town, ask for some pig intestines, and I'll teach you how to cook them."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua picked up another piece and put it in her mouth, then covered the rest.
This food is so delicious, I guess I'll have to have a couple of drinks with the boss tonight.
"Oh, why aren't the kids playing here?"
Xiuhua's sister-in-law was curious.
"They've gone off to play somewhere. They're big kids now, so there's no need to worry about them."
Wei Yuyan believes that Wu Lei will take good care of his younger sister.
"Yes, sister-in-law, do you know what we're going to town for today?"
As Xiuhua was talking, she closed the door and looked at Wei Yuyan with a mysterious expression.
"What did you go to see?"
Wei Yuyan could guess that she was going to see a doctor, but if she said it, the person would feel a little embarrassed, so she pretended not to guess.
"You mentioned last time that the infertility might be a problem with the man. When I told your brother Zhang to see a doctor, he agreed."
He happened to be off work in town today, so we went to the clinic together. Guess what?
When Sister-in-law Xiuhua said this, Wei Yuyan understood.
"So, what did the doctor say?"
Wei Yuyan knew that if it weren't for Brother Zhang's problem, Sister-in-law Xiuhua would have been deflated long ago, how could she still be so smug?
"You were right before. Pregnancy is related to both men and women. So all these years of taking these medications have been a waste."
The doctor said it's because of your brother Zhang's health; his sperm quality is poor and it won't survive, which is why this happened.
The doctor said that if I want to get pregnant, I need to take medication to regulate my body, and I shouldn't do any heavy work for the next six months. I need to rest well, and it will still be possible to get pregnant.
Xiuhua's sister-in-law spoke calmly, indicating that she was quite satisfied with the result.
"That's not so bad. There's hope that it can be adjusted in six months. Sister-in-law, I'm afraid you'll become a mother this year."
Wei Yuyan couldn't help but tease her.
"Thank you for your kind words."
Xiuhua's sister-in-law couldn't hide her smile.
"Now you can finally stand up straight, sister-in-law, no one will dare to laugh at you anymore."
Wei Yuyan was happy for her sister-in-law Xiuhua.
"That's right. You don't know, these past few years, although I've been stubbornly saying that I'm still young and have plenty of time, I don't know how many times I've cried at night."
My mother also said that it was fortunate that my mother-in-law passed away early and my father-in-law was also old, otherwise my life would be even more difficult than it is now.
And the villagers, they've talked about me behind my back countless times, I know it all.”
Over the years, she has been keenly aware of the attitudes of those around her, which is why she came up with the idea of having Brother Zhang take a concubine.
"Sister-in-law, now that the hard times are over, you should keep a good mood and believe that your wishes will come true."
Wei Yuyan felt that a good mood was also important during pregnancy, but now that the test results showed it was Zhang Dage's place, the pressure had shifted.
"Yes, sister-in-law, thank you for comforting me like that. Indeed, only women can understand women."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua didn't dare tell anyone about these things, not even her own mother.
Because they were afraid the women wouldn't keep quiet, and if word got out, wouldn't their husbands lose face?
I told Wei Yuyan because she has few interpersonal relationships, so this matter wouldn't spread.
"Sister-in-law, do you have a pickling jar? I'm thinking of going to town in a couple of days to buy one. Could you give me some of the brine? Old brine tastes better."
Wei Yuyan thought that she would have to go again in a couple of days anyway, and it would be really inconvenient to cook without two pots.
"Yes, sure. There's still a lot of kimchi at home. You can take some with you too. Your brother Zhang and I can't eat that much."
Xiuhua's family grows a lot of vegetables, and they soak them before they can finish eating them all.
"Okay, I've bought the jars. I'll go get them now. I'll head back now and see if those two rascals are back yet."
The two chatted for so long that the sun had already set, and Wei Yuyan was getting ready to go home and heat up her dinner.
"Okay, take the bowl back."
Xiuhua's sister-in-law emptied the bowl that had contained the pork intestines, washed it clean with two ladles of water, filled it with a bowl of red dates, and covered it.
"Why is it covered up? Oh, it's jujubes. Sister-in-law, do you have a jujube tree? I didn't see it."
Wei Yuyan took it, lifted the lid and glanced inside. It was a bowl of red dates, bright red.
"My family has two jujube trees. These are very sweet. I'll take them back with the children."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua usually doesn't eat them, but sometimes when she craves them, she'll take a couple as a snack.
"Thank you, sister-in-law, I'm leaving now."
After thanking them, Wei Yuyan went home. When she got home, the children had already returned and were studying the chicks eating at the entrance of the chicken coop.
"Xiao Lei, Qian Qian, where did you go to play this afternoon?"
Wei Yuyan placed the bowl on the table.
"Sister-in-law, we went to dig for earthworms this afternoon. Come and see, the chicks are eating them."
Wu Qian excitedly pointed into the chicken coop.
Let me see.
Wei Yuyan went over and saw that it was true; the two of them were amazing. They had dug up at least dozens of earthworms, which the chicks were happily eating.
"There's too much, Xiao Lei. They can't eat too much at once. Take some out and give it to them tomorrow."
