After returning home, Jiang Yue first treated the two "wounds" on her daughter's hand and neck, and then treated three or four "wounds" on herself.
She promised to make honey date cake for her daughter, and she wouldn't break her promise.
We don't have enough ingredients at home today, so we'll have to wait until our sons come home this afternoon and bring back eggs.
"Woof woof woof~"
Just as the mother and daughter were discussing what to cook for lunch, they heard Xiaobai's barking from outside.
It seems to be an acquaintance, otherwise Xiaobai wouldn't have bothered to call out twice.
"Mom, I'll go open the door!"
Qingyao greeted them and then ran off to open the door.
Jiang Yue smiled and took out two ceramic jars from under the stove. They were originally meant for brewing wine, but she would put them in honey for now!
I scooped up a few ladles of water and rinsed the honeycomb on the cutting board. Then I cut it in half, and thick honey gushed out.
Jiang Yue calmly poured the contents into the cleaned ceramic jar, squeezing and squeezing.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
Da Zhou's wife brought in a basket containing two watermelons and a plate of flatbread.
After placing it down, I got closer and discovered that there was a huge honeycomb on the cutting board!
Upon seeing the newcomer, Jiang Yue unceremoniously ordered him around:
"Sister-in-law, please help me change the jar, this one is almost full!"
"Hey, here I am."
Upon hearing this, Madam Zhou immediately came over to help.
After a flurry of activity, the enormous honeycomb yielded one and a half jars of honey. It was a beautiful, golden yellow, and smelled wonderfully sweet!
"Sister-in-law, you've come at the right time. Please help me cut them into palm-sized pieces. I'll fry them later, and you can take some home for the kids to eat as snacks."
Jiang Yue licked her fingers and said, "My hands got covered in honey when I was squeezing it. It's so sweet!"
"Why."
Da Zhou didn't stand on ceremony with her third sister-in-law and helped cut the beehive into pieces.
They didn't even ask where the beehive came from; they just focused on their work.
Jiang Yue washed her hands and excused herself to go to the restroom, but actually wanted to see how many points she could exchange for another complete honeycomb!
Sure enough, wild honey is amazing. The system values are out: this honeycomb weighs about 60 kilograms and can be exchanged for more than 300 points!
Without hesitation, Jiang Yue immediately chose to honor the promise!
It jumped from single digits to triple digits, just as thrilling as a roller coaster ride!
Indeed, fortune favors the bold.
After hesitating for a while, she pretended to have finished taking a big dump, then washed her hands and started a fire...
Deep-fried honeycomb uses so much oil.
That is to say, she is rich and powerful, and dares to fry things in oil.
The first piece, naturally, was given to my daughter.
The second piece was handed to her sister-in-law to try. Just as she was about to take a bite of the third piece, her sons and nephews all came home!
Harmful!
"Mom, what smells so good?"
"Mom, what delicious food are you making?"
"Third Aunt~"
"Mother, you're here too?"
"Third Aunt, it smells so good!"
Alright, alright, Jiang Yue reluctantly decided to give the fried food to the children first.
Perhaps because the kids eat fewer snacks these days, they gradually became quite familiar with her as they ate, and her sweet talk was incredibly charming~
Even Madam Zhou felt a pang of sadness upon seeing this. Don't misunderstand, she wasn't jealous; she was just thinking about her eldest daughter. She wondered how the girl was doing and why she hadn't sent a single letter home...
Finally, most of the honeycomb was eaten as soon as it came out of the pot. Jiang Yue kept a plate of about seven or eight pieces and asked her sister-in-law to take it home for Xiao Niu and her second sister-in-law to eat.
As for her parents-in-law, they had bad teeth and might not be able to eat it, but she stuffed half a jar of honey into the vegetable basket and told her sister-in-law that this was her way of showing respect to her parents-in-law.
Having figured out her third sister-in-law's current temperament, Madam Zhou did not refuse and accepted the gift.
Before leaving, tell your son and nephew, who have eaten and drunk their fill, to behave well and do their chores so they don't cause trouble for your third aunt.
Today is the first day that Da Shi and Xiao Shi have gone out to do business together, and they're really excited.
They get paid more than Hu Zi and Xiao Ma, so they can't be lazy and not work!
Jiang Yue didn't interfere with Qingshan and his brothers. Her sons had grown up, so she let them make their own way in the world. They would consult with her, their mother, on important matters, but she wouldn't concern herself with trivial ones.
Today, Qingshan and Qingsong stayed at their stall alone, doing business with Huzi and Xiaoma, while another person took their cousins to deliver goods to the restaurant. After settling the accounts, they went to the rice shop to buy more goods.
There weren't many vegetables left at home, so Qingshan bought a basket of eggs and five or six pounds of pork belly. As usual, the butcher gave him a pig's heart as a gift.
Now, they've all been carried home from the oxcart to the kitchen. Qingshan wiped his sweat and was about to return the oxcart to Uncle Hu's house.
Jiang Yue cut a piece of meat the size of her palm and handed it to her son, saying:
"Wait, Qingshan, talk to your Uncle Hu. The day after tomorrow, we need to borrow his oxcart for a morning. Tell him not to pick up passengers; we'll charter the cart."
"Okay, Mom~"
Qingshan took the meat, nodded, and said he would handle the matter.
Jiang Yue scooped up the remaining oil, leaving a little bit, stir-fried some wild vegetables, added water, and made a wild vegetable soup. On the stove, there were flatbreads that her sister-in-law had brought. The weather was still warm, and she and her daughter ate the wild vegetable soup with relish.
Qingsong and his friends bought up all the unsold cold noodles in town, so they weren't hungry at the moment.
Plus, I ate a lot of fried honeycomb on the way back, so my stomach is too full to eat anymore!
After Jiang Yue finished eating and drinking, she searched in the cupboard and grabbed two handfuls of dried red dates to soak.
Soak some mung beans too. In this weather, a sip of chilled mung bean soup is so refreshing!
News of Zhang being stung today and the subsequent slander against Jiang spread quickly.
After Qingshan returned the oxcart, he heard a reminder from the village aunt and realized that his mother and sister had almost gotten into trouble that day!
Aunt Guihua, good, very good, he'll remember this debt!
After Zhang returned home, she was covered in injuries and felt extremely uncomfortable. In addition, she was scolded by her family.
"You, you, I could let it go in the past, but how come you can't see that Jiang has changed now? She's not the same as before, getting along with you so well?"
"Stay away from me, just seeing you makes me angry!"
"You wretched woman, you've seriously offended the Jiang family today. It'll be very difficult for our family to maintain good relations with them and gain any benefits in the future!"
Zhang's husband, Wu Dagui, impatiently applied the medicine (which was actually just wood ash mixed with water) to his wife, grumbling as he did so.
"Hiss~"
"You rascal, it hurts so much! Can you be a little gentler?!"
"I was just trying to get closer to Guihua and ask her about her second son's marriage when no one was around. I never expected that she would try to make things difficult for me!"
Zhang argued, tears streaming down her face, "It hurts, it hurts so much! The bees stung me so many times, there's not a single good spot on my body!"
"Shut up! I'll go get a needle and let Mom remove the splinter for you. Don't be so reckless next time!"
"Don't let that wife come, let Guihua choose!"
"What, are you afraid my mother will retaliate against you?"
"Hmph, don't you know your place?"
......
