The vegetables from the fields in autumn cannot be eaten up at home, especially cucumbers, peppers and bean sprouts. They are eaten at every meal and make people's stomachs green.
The neighbors in the compound also enjoyed the convenience. They could exchange some unused tickets for some autumn vegetables.
After Zhao Meiya returned home, she was busy drying vegetables with Wang Taozhi and could not get away, so the cooking task naturally fell to He Qiu Sheng.
But this person's laziness affects all aspects of life, including cooking. His best dish is hot pot stew.
After washing all the ingredients, put them into the pot together, cover the pot and simmer without cutting. After the eggplant, potato and pumpkin are stewed, use a spatula to mash them.
Don’t even think about plating. After serving the rice, use a large iron spoon to scoop a full spoonful of stew and put it directly into the bowl.
You can prepare a meal in one go, and at the end you only need to wash the pot, which is easy and convenient.
You know what, it tastes pretty good.
The salt and soy sauce are added in just the right amount, the potato starch melts into it, and it tastes sticky and tasty.
The third brother learned the Indian style without any instruction, making He Ruixue unable to tell whether he was eating vegetables or pig food.
"Dongbao, come and have dinner. I put some bacon in the pot today to nourish you."
He Qiu Sheng knocked the pot with an iron spoon and enthusiastically invited her to eat.
He Ruixue's face turned pale. After eating porridge for three consecutive days, she completely surrendered. "No, I've eaten in the company cafeteria."
"You're talking nonsense again. Doesn't your company cafeteria only serve lunch?"
"My colleague treated me to a meal, so I can't."
To be honest, she would rather dig out two sweet potatoes and throw them into the fire to roast than accept the torture of her third brother's life-sustaining meals.
I know you have a good relationship with your third sister-in-law, and she needs to eat soft and rotten food to recover from her illness, but you can't just ignore other people's lives, right?
"You just don't want to eat the food I cook."
He Qiusheng was unhappy and listed the evidence that she disliked him, "You have been picky about food since you were a child. When you were three years old, I roasted some sparrow for you to eat, but you were impatient and stuffed it in your mouth. You burned yourself and cried and said it tasted bad, so I was punished by not being allowed to eat dinner for three days.
When you were eight years old and went to school, Mom asked me to bring you lunch. But you got into a disagreement and knocked over the bowl, saying I was making pig food. I took the pocket money I had saved for a month and took you to the market to buy you some sugar buns...”
He Ruixue also sighed, "Yes, your craftsmanship has not improved in all these years."
"You don't even have the right to criticize me if you don't even pick up a spatula at home. This is called waiting for hard work, understand? Who will cook for you during the busy farming season? You're lucky to be able to fill your stomach."
There are not many occasions when he is needed to cook at home, most of the time it is during busy farming season and other critical moments.
His cooking skills may not be good, but he is quick in preparing food, which ensures that his parents can have a meal immediately when they come home tired after a day of work.
But my younger sister looked down on him. She didn't think about the fact that it was good enough for a man to be able to cook these days. Who in the village doesn't say that he is a family-oriented man?
"You're just waiting for the best. I think you're just settling for the next best thing. It's really unfair for your parents to follow you. Why don't they not go back this time and live with me in the city from now on."
"That won't do. Others will point fingers at me and scold me. Don't get involved in this matter. How can a girl support her husband in his old age?"
He Qiusheng's face showed annoyance and a bit of heartache, "What you said is too unpleasant to hear. I think I'm very good to my parents. How many times have you gone back to see them? You've been in the village for more than three days and you've been yelling that you want to leave.
Now that I've grown up, I keep saying that I've wronged my parents. It's really easy for me to talk without any hesitation."
He Ruixue looked up at him in surprise, "From the way you sound, you seem to be resentful towards me."
"How dare I? You are my parents' treasure. Back then, my second sister ran away without caring about her future. They were all concerned about her. I was stuck in the middle and got neither side.
Among us siblings, I've clearly spent the most time taking care of our parents, yet in your mouth, I've become redundant. Dongbao, tell me the truth, is it because you're making more money now that you look down on your third brother?"
He Qiusheng put the big spoon aside, slamming it against the table. Without waiting for her to answer, he added, "Oh, I shouldn't think like that. You've never taken me seriously.
From childhood to adulthood, you were a young lady, and I was your servant. I picked you up from school and accompanied you when you went out to play... Am I too nice to you? Judging from your attitude now, you don't even treat me like a brother."
He Ruixue was speechless. She wanted to say that this was the treatment of the original owner and not her. It was indeed she who said what she just said.
Although she just wanted to bring her parents to live with her, when she thought about it carefully, it was indeed a bit too much. With just a few words, she wiped out the efforts of her third brother and sister-in-law in taking care of her parents for more than ten years. It was no different from picking peaches.
Who doesn’t want to separate from the family and live a free life? Who wants to be controlled by others every day?
Not to mention that they can also provide emotional value to their parents and entertain them with colorful clothes when they are unhappy, which is not something that everyone can do.
He Ruixue always had a good attitude in admitting her mistakes. She poured a cup of tea and came to him to apologize.
Her eyes couldn't be more sincere, and she used a coquettish voice, "Third brother, I was wrong. I used the wrong words. Please be magnanimous and forgive me this time."
He Qiusheng took the teacup from her hand and said sarcastically, "How dare I mess with you? Mom might throw the rolling pin at my head later."
He Ruixue quickly raised three fingers and said, "I promise not to tell anyone."
When He Qiu Sheng saw his always arrogant and spoiled sister raising her eyebrows and looking at him with pitiful eyes, his heart softened as water and he could no longer say anything harsh to her.
His parents asked him to take care of his younger sister, but if he didn't want to, he would find a hundred ways to shirk his responsibilities.
After all, he really cared about her.
