Chapter 18



Shen Mo also had a close relationship with Captain Li's family, so he would not reject their kindness. He smiled and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

"I heard from Lao Li that your wife has come to join the army and asked me to take care of her. I was too late yesterday, so I came today to meet her. Where is your wife?"

As Sister Li spoke, she looked behind Shen Mo and saw Jiang Xi walking out of the main room.

Jiang Xi saw Shen Mo talking to someone and walked over.

Seeing Jiang Xi, Sister Li was stunned for a moment, "Oh, what a pretty girl, as beautiful as the beauties on the calendar."

Mrs. Li has not received much education, and she is not subtle when it comes to complimenting others. She says whatever is on her mind.

Jiang Xi knows that she is good-looking, but she still feels embarrassed when people praise her too much.

Seeing her coming over, Sister Li spoke up, took Jiang Xing's hand and said, "I'll call you Xiao Jiang. My family grows a lot of vegetables. If we don't have enough vegetables at home, come to my house to pick them. Don't be polite."

Jiang Qi was too enthusiastic about 뀘, and he didn't know how to respond.

She turned her head and looked at Shen Mo, who nodded.

Seeing him nod, Jiang Xi knew that Shen Mo had a good relationship with this woman's family, and said with a smile, "Okay, thank you sister-in-law."

Seeing that Jiang Xing looked like a beautiful flower, Sister Li was in a good mood and took Jiang Xing's hand to talk to her.

Jiang Xing also responded politely. She was overwhelmed by 뀘's enthusiasm, but her heart was good.

Sister Li talked to Jiang Xi about family matters, "Before Xiao Shen, you were always alone. Now that you are here, it's good. During the holidays, you have someone to be with you."

"Yeah." Jiang Xi nodded, "I will be nice to Ah Mo."

Jiang Liu's words were not just a compliment. Shen Mo was nice to her, so she would naturally be nice to Shen Mo as well.

When Sister Li left, Shen Mo's ears were still echoing with the nice words Jiang Xi said to him. It was obviously just such a casual sentence, but his heart couldn't help but beat wildly.

She also called him A-Mo.

"Pickled plums!" Jiang Xi glanced at what was in Shen Mo's hand.

Seeing that she was very interested, Shen Mo handed the thing in his hand to her.

Jiang Xi was just worrying about what to do with the pork belly that Shen Mo bought, when she saw the pickled plums in his hand.

Nowadays, many people can make their own pickled plums. Most people in this era are simple and make many of their own food. This pickled plum is oily and black, and smells mellow.

It is very suitable for making preserved vegetable and pork.

"I'm going to cook." Jiang Xing said this and walked to the stove with things in his hand. Shen Mo smiled and continued to reclaim the wasteland with a hoe.

Jiang Xiu went to the kitchen and soaked the pickled mustard greens first, and then started to prepare the pork belly. The pork hair and other things on the pork belly had been dealt with, so she didn't have to put in much effort.

After cleaning the pork, put it in a pot with cold water and flattened ginger. Bring the water to a boil for a few minutes and then drain the water.

While the water was being controlled, Jiang Hui went into the house and got a few toothpicks, poked many small holes in the pork skin, and then evenly applied soy sauce to color it. Poking the holes would make the meat more flavorful.

After applying soy sauce, heat oil in a pan, put the skin side of the pork into the pan and fry until golden brown. When the skin of the pork appears a layer of white bubbles, drain and cool it down. This is the key to getting the tiger skin.

After cooling, cut the meat into large pieces evenly. Take out a bowl and add soy sauce, sugar, pepper powder, etc. to make a sauce. Then put the cut meat slices into the sauce and mix well to coat them with the sauce.

Pour the remaining sauce into the pot and stir-fry the pickled mustard greens. The aroma is already coming out.

Jiang Xiu swallowed his saliva, picked up the vegetables when he saw that they were almost done, put the pickled mustard greens into the bowl with the meat, and steamed it in a pot of boiling water.

After a while, the pungent meaty aroma wafted out.

Shen Mo had been reclaiming half of the land next to him when he smelled a fragrance that was even more delicious than the food in the state-owned hotel.

As soon as you smell this fragrance, you know it must taste good.

Is my wife so good at cooking?

Steam the meat here and steam the rice on the other stove.

An hour later, the rice and meat were steamed.

Jiang Xu washed the pot and cooked some vegetable soup.

All alive.

Here, Shen Mo had just reclaimed a large piece of open space, and he heard his wife calling him to eat, "Shen Mo, it's time to eat."

Shen Mo?

Why isn't it A-Mo?

Shen Mo was a little disappointed, but he still clapped his hands quickly, went to the sink to wash his hands, and then went to the kitchen to serve Jiang Xing the dishes.

Shen Mo used the piece of pork belly, ginger and lemon to make three bowls of braised pork.

"Bring a bowl to Sister Li." Jiang Xi said. She still remembered the pickled mustard greens that Sister Li gave her. Without them, she couldn't make the braised pork.

Shen Mo nodded, "Okay."

Whatever my wife says is what it is.

Shen Mo went out with a bowl of pork belly. Jiang Xing didn't have the habit of eating alone, so he followed Shen Mo to the door and waited for him to come back.

At this moment, the sound of something falling to the ground attracted Jiang Liu's attention.

She looked in the direction of the sound and saw two children. She glanced at them but didn't recognize them.

Just as he was about to look away, two children suddenly moved away a little, and Jiang Xi saw clearly the child who was surrounded.

It’s Zhiqi’s kid.

Jiang Xing raised his eyebrows. It turned out that he had friends.

Before, seeing his withdrawn personality, I thought he had no friends.

At this moment, one of the sturdy kids suddenly pushed Huo Zhiqi and said, "Don't you like to eat? I'll let you eat as much as you can. Hahahahaha."

With someone taking the lead, other children immediately rushed forward to push Huo Zhiqi.

Jiang Xi frowned and walked over quickly, "What are you doing?"

When they saw adults coming, the group of children scattered.

Jiang Xi walked up to Huo Zhiqi and saw at a glance that Huo Zhiqi was a little dirty and his hands were also a little dirty.

꺗 lowered his head and looked at the ground.

There was a lunch box lying on the ground with all the rice in it spilled. That would not have been a big deal, but two caterpillars suddenly emerged from the white rice.

Jiang Xing's face immediately turned bad, as if he had guessed something, and asked him, "Is this why you don't bring your own lunch?"

Huo Zhiqi looked at the rice on the ground in silence. He felt very sorry that the white rice was wasted like this.

Jiang Xi knew that the child was used to being silent, and they had not been in contact for long, so it was normal for the child to be unwilling to open up.

But she had taught the child for a few days, so she couldn't be without feelings.

Jiang Xi reached out to hold his hand and said softly, "Let's go to my sister's house for dinner."

Huo Zhiqi saw Jiang Xi's white hands, then glanced at his own dirty hands, and when Jiang Xi was about to grab him, he moved away without making a sound.

Jiang Xi missed the opportunity and reached out to knock him on the head, "You little brat, don't you recognize me as your teacher now?"

After saying that, he sighed, "Oh, I'm so sad."

"No!" Hearing her sad words, Huo Zhiqi suddenly became anxious and wanted to pull Jiang Xing's clothes, but he withdrew his hand and said with his head down, "Sister, I'm a little dirty."

He was often pushed to the ground by the two sons of Uncle Wang. Every time he returned to Uncle Wang's house dirty, his aunt would dislike him. Uncle Wang's grandmother would not help him wash clothes, he washed them himself.

He can't say it.

It cannot be said that it was Wang Xiaotian and Wang Xiaodi who caused this.
