Su Maner felt the movement behind her.
She turned her head to look at him: "You want to take a nap too?"
Didn’t he say he wanted to be a crutch when we were eating at the table earlier?
Chi Yunchen: "Well, I'm tired, I'll take a rest too!"
Su Maner: “…”
Well, she couldn't stop him even if he was tired, right?
She moved her body a little further inward, fearing that if she slept too far out he would have no place to sleep.
He grabbed her shoulders.
With a gentle tug of his arm, he pulled her back to her original position.
She frowned, turned her head and looked at him puzzledly and unhappy: "What are you doing?"
Chi Yunchen coughed lightly.
His eyes were slightly evasive, and his low voice was faintly mixed with discomfort: "It's cold in winter, let's stay close together to keep warm."
Su Maner: "..." It turns out this person is so afraid of the cold?
But her body is also afraid of cold.
so……
She reached out and pulled his arm: "Then come closer to me."
Chi Yunchen was stunned for a moment, as if he had not expected her to have such a considerate reaction.
But after a moment of hesitation, he moved his body and moved towards her.
The two of them were pressed tightly together, transmitting their warmth to each other.
Su Maner yawned and closed her eyes: "This is indeed a little warmer."
Oh, it’s a pity that he will be leaving tomorrow.
And there were no electric blankets or hot water bottles in that era.
So it must be a bit difficult for her to sleep alone without him.
Chi Yunchen glanced at her and saw that she was extremely tired and didn't want to chat anymore. He frowned slightly and closed his eyes.
Grandma said that she wanted to hold her and Su Maner’s great-grandson as soon as possible.
But now it seems that this matter will probably disappoint grandma.
…
At this time, it was Li Cuihua's house next door.
In the dirty and messy main room, Li Cuihua was beating Hu Yujiao with a broom, cursing as she beat her: "You bastard, you damn bastard, you dared to steal my money, you really deserve a beating!"
The beatings made Hu Yujiao's face turn pale with pain.
She looked at Li Cuihua pitifully and said, "Auntie, please don't hit me anymore. Please don't hit me anymore."
"I'm going to beat you to death, you bastard! You shameless bastard, you stole the money and framed Chi Yunbo, causing me to lose face when I went to Chi Yunbo's house. You bastard, I'm going to beat you to death today, you troublemaker!" The more Li Cuihua thought about it, the angrier she became, and the angrier she got, the fiercer her movements became.
She beat him like a madman, wishing she could beat Hu Yujiao to death.
Hu Yujiao was held down by Dai Qiaoqiao and Sun Simu, and she couldn't even struggle.
Chi Jiayu and Chi Jiaheng were watching nearby, clapping their hands and shouting happily, "Well done, well done, grandma, hit her harder, hit her harder."
The two children were not frightened by the scene at all. Instead, they looked very excited.
Hu Yujiao bit her lower lip hard.
She glanced at Li Cuihua who was beating her, then glanced at Dai Qiaoqiao and Sun Simo who were holding her down, and finally her gaze fell on Chi Jiayu and Chi Jiaheng.
This family is bad from top to bottom!
Sooner or later, she would take revenge on this group of evil, vicious and rotten people! She, Hu Yujiao, swore that sooner or later, she would make these people pay double for the pain she had endured today!
A deep coldness emerged in the depths of her eyes. She no longer begged for mercy, nor did she struggle anymore.
Because she knew that her begging and struggle were totally useless!
These vicious and rotten people have no mercy at all. She might as well shut up and save some energy!
…
It was already past five in the afternoon when Su Maner woke up.
She hurriedly got out of bed, simply combed her hair, and then ran out in a hurry.
Chi Yunchen, who was using a crutch in the yard, saw her wake up. He first moved his eyebrows slightly, then lowered his eyes and continued his hand movements.
Su Maner walked towards him and said to him unhappily: "What's wrong with you? Why didn't you wake me up when you woke up? It's so late now, those people in the village will definitely not go to the threshing ground, so what about the apology..."
"Third sister-in-law, aunt has already apologized. At three o'clock in the afternoon, third brother called many people in the village, including aunt and others, and asked aunt to apologize to me in front of many people in the village." Chi Yunbo said hurriedly, with a smile on his frail face.
Thinking of the old lady's frustrated look in the afternoon, he felt very happy.
In the past, their family was always bullied by Auntie. Today, Auntie finally got the chance to suffer.
"What? You've already apologized?" Su Maner widened her eyes.
Little Jiayue ran over to her and said, "Yes, Third Auntie, Grandma was very unhappy at that time. She pouted her lips very high."
It’s so high that you can hang sausages on it.
Su Maner: “…”
She held her forehead, feeling a little depressed.
She bent over and sat down on the bench where Chi Yunchen was sitting: "Even if she apologized, I would still be unhappy. I didn't even see such an important scene. I also want to see her stupid look!"
Li Cuihua, who was peeling sweet potatoes in the next yard: "..."
Damn it, that little bitch Su Maner, do you still want to see her get screwed?
Haha, go eat shit!
Li Cuihua spat and glared at the people in the next room, then continued to peel sweet potatoes with her head down.
…
Chi Yunchen turned his head to look at Su Maner, his eyes moved slightly: "If she makes trouble again next time, you can ask her to apologize in front of the whole village. Then you can see her stupid look."
Su Maner: "..." The corners of her mouth twitched, and she looked at Chi Yunchen with some surprise.
Is he serious or joking?
Li Cuihua next door was so angry that her eyes widened.
Damn it! You want me to apologize in front of the whole village? You are such a fool!
"Are you kidding? But if she dares to make trouble again, I will definitely not let her go!" Su Maner was stunned for a few seconds, then answered word by word.
Chi Yunchen lowered his head and carved the peach wood in his hand, with the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
He knew she was very intelligent.
With her around, perhaps the aunt and her friends will never be able to bully his family again.
He is not at home most of the time, so he feels more at ease with her around.
After sitting on the stool for two minutes, Su Maner stood up and walked towards the stove.
It's getting late now, so it's time to start making dinner.
What's more, she wanted to have a pheasant tonight and prepare a big meal. Preparing a big meal would take even more time.
She walked into the kitchen and found a cooked pheasant lying in the wooden basin.
The pheasant was cleaned thoroughly, without a single hair on its body.
Su Maner raised her eyebrows. Was this handled by Chi Yunchen? When did he do it?
She glanced outside the stove and saw the man concentrating on processing the peach wood. The corners of her lips curled up slightly and a smile appeared on her face.
She found that the male protagonist was a person that she liked more and more the more she looked at him.
She retracted her gaze, picked up the pheasant in the bowl and placed it on the chopping board.
She plans to cook wood-fired chicken tonight.
On this cold winter night, it’s best to eat some hot and fragrant wood-fired chicken.
She imagined the scene of everyone eating around the stove, and the corners of her lips curled up again, with a happy smile on her face.
Because the family was relatively poor, many seasonings were not available. But fortunately, she was a good cook, and she could still make delicious dishes even without some seasonings.
This pheasant had a lot of chicken fat. She squeezed the chicken fat and saw that there was a lot of oil, so she scooped it out in a bowl and put it aside.
Chi Yunchen will be leaving tomorrow, and he will be gone for such a long time. She wants to get him some things from home, and a bottle of sauce for him to take away.
Life out there must be difficult, and the food must not be that good. But with a bottle of sauce she made, his diet might be a little better.
She was busy in the kitchen, and Chi Yunbo and Chi Jiayue came in automatically to help her.
After Su Maner squeezed the chicken oil, she left some at the bottom of the pot, then added slices of ginger, green onions and peppercorns, stir-fried them for a while, and then added the chopped chilies she had added.
The air is instantly filled with an aroma that tempts the taste buds.
Xiao Jiayue took a deep breath of the fragrance, blinked her eyes and looked at Su Maner and said, "Auntie, it smells so good. My mouth is watering."
As he spoke, he stood on tiptoe and took a look into the pot.
There’s not even a piece of chicken in the pot, but it smells so good even without the chicken.
It smells so good that he wants to bite his tongue.
"Don't be anxious, little greedy cat. The chicken hasn't been put into the pot yet." Su Maner smiled, holding a spatula in her hand and stir-frying the peppers in the pot.
After stir-frying for a few times, when the heat is almost right, put the chicken into the pot.
After the chicken was stir-fried for a while, the aroma in the air became stronger.
Even Chi Yunbo, who was sitting in front of the stove and burning a fire, felt like biting his tongue because of the fragrance.
Chi Yunbo was secretly looking forward to it, looking forward to the meal being ready quickly.
Looking forward to eating the delicious food in the pot soon.
Su Maner stir-fried the chicken back and forth until it was slightly browned, then added the side dishes.
Side dishes include mushrooms, potatoes and radishes.
After stir-frying the side dishes and chicken together, Su Maner put down the spatula and scooped some water into the pot.
She covered the pot, went to the cupboard, took out a large bowl, and prepared to mix some cornmeal and flour to make corn cakes.
Of course, when eating wood-fired chicken, it should be paired with some corn cakes.
At this time Chi Yunchen walked in.
Chi Yunchen looked at her: "Do you need my help?"
As he spoke he glanced at the covered pot.
I don’t know how she made the chicken so delicious.
He was outside just now and was also smelled by the fragrance.
In the past, they would also lavishly prepare half a chicken to eat during the Chinese New Year.
But the chicken they cooked in the past was not so fragrant.
Su Maner looked at him and said, "No need. Go pick up grandma and mom. It's so late now, they should be back by now."
After finishing the work at the sun-drying field in the afternoon, Grandma Chi and Xiao Wanxiu went to the fields.
He said he was going to the fields to see how the cabbages and pea tips were growing, and to pick some pea tips as well.
Chi Yunchen: “…”
He was silent for a second and nodded: "Yeah."
Having said that, he turned and walked out, but before he reached the door, he heard the voices of Grandma Chi and Xiao Wanxiu. They had returned.
Grandma Chi had difficulty walking and Xiao Wanxiu was blind, so it took them a long time to get back.
As soon as they entered the room and smelled the fragrance in the air, they both swallowed hard.
It must be Maner making delicious food again.
With Man'er here, they are in for a treat.
Grandma Chi was holding a basket in her hand, which was filled with a lot of pea tips.
Chi Yunchen stepped forward to take the pea tips, then helped his mother and grandmother into the house.
"Grandma, Mom, you're back." Su Maner mixed flour and corn flour together and added some water.
While kneading the dough, she glanced at Grandma Chi and Xiao Wanxiu and said.
Grandma Chi looked at Su Maner and said with a smile, "Maner is making something delicious. I smelled the fragrance outside the door just now."
"Let's have firewood chicken tonight." Su Maner replied hurriedly.
Wood-fired chicken?
Grandma Chi and Xiao Wanxiu were both stunned, and Chi Yunchen was also stunned.
From the name, one can tell that firewood-fired chicken is a way of cooking chicken, but he had never heard of the term firewood-fired chicken.
He glanced at Su Maner. Where did she learn these cooking techniques?
Chi Yunchen wanted to ask her, but Su Maner suddenly glanced at him: "Wash out some fungi for me. Well, wash about a pound."
Chi Yunchen: “…”
He swallowed the words that were about to be asked.
He glanced at the basket of mushrooms placed aside: "Wash so many? Are you going to wash them and stir-fry them or make soup?"
If you are making soup, you don't need so many mushrooms.
Su Maner replied calmly: "It's used to make sauce."
"Making sauce?" Chi Yunchen was a little surprised: "Making what sauce?"
Su Maner said, "Make mushroom and chicken sauce. Aren't you leaving tomorrow? I want to make you a bottle of sauce for you to take with you. If you don't have good food in the factory, you can eat it with rice."
Chi Yunchen: “…”
His throat rolled when he heard it, and suddenly a strange feeling quickly spread in his chest.
Both Grandma Chi and Elaine Hsiao were very moved.
Yunchen is a good daughter-in-law who knows how to care for her husband.
Well, good, good, this daughter-in-law is good, the best one.
Chi Yunchen looked at Su Maner deeply. He didn't say anything else. Instead, he walked to the back basket, selected about one kilogram of mushrooms and began to wash them.
Just when the chicken in the pot was cooked, Qin Sufang and Hong Yashan came back together.
When they saw Qin Sufang, Grandma Chi and the others were all stunned.
"Sister Qin, why are you here? Come and sit down." Grandma Chi said, inviting Qin Sufang to sit on the bench.
Qin Sufang held a bag of sugar in her hand. She handed it to Grandma Chi: "My son came back from the provincial capital. He brought me several bags of sugar. I couldn't finish them, so I brought you a bag. You are usually not in good health, so you can use it to make sugar water. It should make you feel more energetic."
"I can't accept this. I..." Grandma Chi wanted to refuse.
But Qin Sufang saw the chicken in the pot.
The chicken was shiny and had a very tempting aroma.
Qin Sufang immediately swallowed hard.
She pointed at the pot of chicken and asked, "Are you guys eating chicken?"
Su Maner thought that the old man was a good person and had helped their family before.
So she smiled and invited the old woman, "Yes, this is the pheasant we brought back from the mountain today. I think Grandma Qin hasn't eaten yet, why don't we eat here together?"
"Oh, how can I do this? I have to eat chicken just like you guys do. This is so bad." Although she said it was not good, Grandma Qin sat down on the bench next to Grandma Chi.
Chi Yunchen and Chi Yunbo looked at them: "..."
Why are you sitting down if it's not good?
And in the yard next door.
Chi Jiayu pulled Li Cuihua's sleeve and said, "Grandma, I want to go to Second Grandma's house for dinner. I want to go to her house for dinner!"
Chi Jiaheng also said: "Second Grandma must be eating delicious food today. I can smell the fragrance from her house!"
The author has something to say: Ah, I suddenly want to eat firewood chicken. Fragrant and hot firewood chicken~
