People's feelings are different. Song Nanting thinks her godmother is the best person, but in the eyes of the two daughters-in-law, the mother-in-law is a wicked mother-in-law.
When Aunt Song left her hometown, she was hurt by her two sons and their wives. In a fit of anger, she sold all her things in her hometown and then took all her belongings to live with her youngest son. Now she has finally reaped the rewards of her hard work and gets along well with Niu Huihui.
But I didn’t expect that the two daughters-in-law could still make the old lady angry even though they were thousands of miles apart.
Aunt Song said depressedly, "I don't know where those two got the address here from, so they wrote me a letter. They couldn't write themselves, so they asked their children to write, telling them that they missed me and how hard life was at home. Their implicit meaning was that I should send some money back home."
"Bah, wishful thinking." Aunt Song snorted, "They made me so angry at the beginning, and they still wanted me to send money. Go eat shit."
Seeing how angry she was, Song Nanting couldn't help but laugh, "Then forget about it. How can they find us from such a long distance? Even if they do find us, they won't be able to come in without applying in advance."
Hearing this, Auntie Song nodded and said, "That's true, but I'm afraid it will be a problem if it really comes."
She paused and said, "Although we are brothers, we have separated our family property after all. I can't use the money from the third brother's family to subsidize Gao Shu just because he is doing better. Why? If I really do that, what difference will there be between me and Aunt Lan?"
Speaking of Aunt Lan, Aunt Song felt emotional again, "She treated Tian Xiao'e and her family so badly because of her eldest son. Sooner or later, she will regret it. If she honestly helps take care of the children here, how can Tian Xiao'e not provide for her in her old age?"
There was no way to talk about this kind of thing. Song Nanting comforted her godmother and then prepared to go back.
However, the children of the Zhao family have really quieted down and have not been seen going to anyone's house for meals.
But when people talk about it, they still feel unhappy, always worrying that they will do something outrageous again.
Tian Xiao'e used to look like a bullied young wife. Now that Aunt Lan is gone, she is still the same, but the people who bully her have changed from Aunt Lan to the neighbors in the housing estate who refuse to let them eat.
Anyway, it's quite speechless. Tian Xiao'e worked on a military farm, where she was provided with food and drink, and occasionally she would even get some leftover vegetables. In fact, it was much better than many other families.
I heard from people who worked there that Tian Xiao'e also looked aggrieved while working there and couldn't get along with anyone.
Song Nanting just listened and let it go. It was getting cold, so she had to eat some cabbage.
While Lu Jianan was resting, he cleaned up the cellar, looking for areas that were not solid and areas where there were rat holes. Everything had to be fixed, otherwise what if the vegetables were put in and eaten by rats?
After cleaning up, they started to pull out the cabbages. They couldn't put them directly into the cellar after pulling them out. They had to dry them in the sun first, and the roots had to be dried before they could be put into the cellar.
So after pulling them out, I wiped off the mud, placed them in rows on the vegetable ridges, and then went to pull out the radishes.
But it doesn't matter for radishes. There is a separate pit after going down to the cellar, which is mixed with some sand and is specially used to store radishes. You can bury the radishes directly in it, and dig one out when you want to eat it. The radishes will be crisper than when they are planted in the ground, and the spiciness will be reduced, and they will have a sweeter taste.
If you bury them directly outside, they will easily freeze and become impossible to dig out. But if you bury them in the cellar, there will be no such problem.
While Lu Jianan was burying the radishes, Song Nanting was not idle either. Some of the radish tops had been damaged by frost, so they were discarded. However, the tender leaves inside were cut off and washed. Then a pot of boiling water was boiled, and the whole radish tops were thrown in to blanch. This action had to be done quickly, otherwise they would not taste good if they were blanched too much.
Of course, you can also put the radish tops directly in the sun to dry, but Song Nanting is more used to blanching them first.
After blanching, the radishes were wilted and placed in a large basin on the side, waiting for Lu Jianan to bury the radishes before hanging them on the roof to dry.
Radish tops can also be used to make small tofu. Song Nanting specially reserved some. She chopped them up first, boiled some water, put the soybean cake crumbs into the pot and stirred slowly. After it was thoroughly boiled, she put in the chopped radish tops and salt and boiled it. Simmered it for a while to dry out the water.
It really doesn't taste good if you eat it just like this, but it tastes delicious if you make a dipping sauce with it.
You can eat it like this for the first meal. For the second meal, you can fry the dried tofu in a pan, wrap it with a pancake, and eat it with the dipping sauce. It will taste even better.
I don’t know if it’s because of the pregnancy, but now whenever food is mentioned, Song Nanting tends to secrete saliva and wants to eat urgently.
Seeing Lu Jianan drying radish leaves outside, Song Nanting simply made some small tofu, and by the time she was done, Lu Jianan was also busy.
"Come and have something to eat."
It was actually not time for dinner yet, but Song Nanting was so greedy that she didn't go to the main room. She just sat in the yard, basking in the late autumn sun and eating tofu. It was really beautiful.
Lu Jianan's brows were furrowed as he ate. Song Nanting asked with a smile, "Are you not used to it?"
Lu Jianan shook his head, "General."
"Try this." Song Nanting pushed the dipping sauce over, "Take a bite of tofu and a bite of dipping sauce."
The dipping sauce is made of chili powder, white sesame seeds, salt and oil. After the oil is poured, some chopped green onions are added with soy sauce and vinegar. The taste is sour and spicy, which goes perfectly with the somewhat tasteless tofu.
Song Nanting asked, "How is it?"
"not bad."
So he ate the whole bowl of tofu.
Song Nanting couldn't help laughing.
There are still some vegetables left in the yard, which were not available in my hometown.
But after coming here, many people grow this, and then pickle it in the fall, so that they can cut a plate of it when there is no vegetable the following year.
