Chapter 028 Are you thinking about your brother-in-law?
We had dinner more than half an hour later.
Not only is there soft and delicious rice porridge, but it also contains equally soft soybeans.
There were also steamed potatoes and eggplants, a few boiled eggs, smashed cucumbers, tomatoes mixed with brown sugar, and fried peanuts.
Although they are all vegetarian, there are both dry and liquid dishes, and several of them are very refreshing to eat.
Wen Kexin knew that since Song Mo was there, her mother was doing her best to entertain her son-in-law.
During the past few days in the hospital, Song Mo, Wen Jiancheng and his wife, and Wen Kexin and her brother and sister all ate well. They felt full and ate slowly.
The two lovely sisters have been at home these days and have hardly eaten anything.
Seeing such delicious food, he immediately started to eat it voraciously.
When Wang Qiaolian saw how her two daughters ate, her eyes suddenly turned red.
I quickly thought of something and asked, "Didn't your grandma let you guys sit at the table to eat?"
Wen Keqin was about to say something.
Wen Keai said angrily, "Mom, my grandma said there was no food at home, so we had to figure out a way. Our neighbor, Grandma Zhao, didn't like it, so she secretly gave us two steamed buns."
Everyone suddenly felt sad. Not to mention that the two little girls worked hard every day, they were both granddaughters of the Wen family. How could the Wen family have the heart to do that?
The two little girls saw that their mother and elder sister had red eyes, and their father looked unhappy, and knew that they were sad.
Wen Keqin said hurriedly: "Dad, Mom, Big Sister, my sister and I found a wild apricot tree on the mountain. The apricots on it are delicious."
Wen Kexin knew from the original owner's memory that there could be no apricot trees on the nearby mountains, and her two sisters must have gone deep into the mountains to find wild apricot trees.
Besides, what’s so good about wild apricots that are sour and astringent?
Two little girls who have no ability to protect themselves are walking into the mountains. What should they do if they encounter danger?
Thinking of this, she suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Wen Jiancheng and his wife also thought of this, and their faces looked equally bad.
Wang Qiaolian said with lingering fear: "From now on, you sisters are not allowed to go into the mountains!"
She picked up two eggs and handed one to each of her two daughters with heartache.
"You have suffered, eat a boiled egg."
The cute and amiable ones were very sensible and said, "Mom and Dad, please leave the eggs for Dad and me, we can just eat something else."
Wang Qiaolian suppressed her emotions and patiently advised: "You guys eat, your father and your brother have some!"
Wen Kexin also said: "We have eaten well in the hospital these days, just eat what mom gives you."
Wen Jiancheng said gratefully: "The eggs were sent by your brother-in-law. Dad's legs were thanks to him. You guys should be grateful."
The two sisters looked at Song Mo and said gratefully, "Thank you, brother-in-law!"
Only then did he eat the eggs.
This was the first time they had eaten eggs since they were little, and they realized that eggs were so delicious.
Song Mo changed the subject in time and said, "Father-in-law, I'll get some water from the well in the yard this afternoon. I'll ask someone to replace some thatch in the evening, and I'll ask two friends to help re-thatch the roof tomorrow."
Everyone understands that the thatch grass has not grown this year, so they can only use the one stored by the villagers last year.
Wen Jiancheng said gratefully: "Son-in-law, thank you for your hard work!"
"Father-in-law, you are a family, so don't be polite. By the way, after dinner, when the kang is heated up, you should lie down on it and take a nap to rest your legs."
Hearing his uncle's caring and thoughtful words, Wen Jiancheng was grateful and nodded, saying, "Okay! I'll listen to you, uncle."
After dinner, Wen Kexin went to wash the dishes.
Song Mo had already packed up the windlass and connected the rope that he had gotten from somewhere.
After dinner, when the kang was warm, Wen Jiancheng lay down to rest.
Song Mo used a wooden bucket to scoop water from the well.
Wang Qiaolian was helping out.
Wen Kexin came over to help after washing the dishes.
It was discovered that Song Mo had taken off his shirt and was only wearing a hurdle vest, constantly turning the windlass handle.
The muscles on the man's arms bulged high, with obvious biceps, and he had long, straight and powerful legs. She couldn't help but think of the eight-pack abs he had in her dream.
My heart suddenly started beating like a rabbit hidden inside.
I took a quick glance and could vaguely see Song Mo's eight-pack abs.
Her eyes quickly dodged away.
Song Mo took a look at the sly look given by his young wife and immediately found it funny.
Wen Kexin quickly changed her mind and looked seriously at the increasingly turbid well water, and asked doubtfully: "It's so dirty down there, what should I do if there's no water left?"
"When the water is all gone, I'll go down and clean up the silt. Then I'll find some clean sand and large pieces of charcoal and put them in the well. Tomorrow, the water in the well will be drinkable after it settles."
“Clean sand is easy to find, but what about charcoal?”
Song Mo explained slowly, "When I came back from borrowing food, I asked two friends to help me burn some charcoal in the mountains. They will deliver it in the evening."
Wen Kexin was touched. It turned out that this man had done so many things quietly.
The friends he mentioned should be his childhood playmates.
Why should they help their family for free?
She quickly thought of something and said, "Then I'll go to town to buy some meat and some vegetables and treat them tonight, okay?"
"This... don't worry, they will come to help with thatching the house tomorrow."
Wen Kexin shook her head and said, "If you don't want to eat tonight, you have to eat at noon tomorrow. You go do your thing, I'll go to town to buy some food."
"Can you do it yourself?"
"Of course!"
Wen Keqin, who was working and listening carefully, interjected, "Big sister, I'm going with you. You said you'll take me with you next time you go out."
Wen Kexin smiled and said, "Don't worry, my second sister will go with me."
Wang Qiaolian smiled and said, "I'll help you clean the well here, you sisters, go and come back quickly."
Wen Kexin nodded readily and said, "Okay!"
Taiping Town is half an hour's walk from the village. The two sisters carried a backpack and hurried to the town.
Wen Kexin was thinking in her mind what to take out from the space.
Let’s forget about rice and flour for now.
Mainly pork and vegetables, and a white-striped chicken. Don’t spend any money you have in the space, because you don’t have much money.
It’s better to take out a big iron pot. It’s really awkward to cook with small pots and clay pots at noon.
Tonight or tomorrow, there will be two people at home to help, and it will be difficult to handle with small pots and clay pots.
She knew that big iron pots were scarce in those days. There was a pot in her family before, but later she was the only one left at home, and the big iron pot was thrown into the warehouse because it was not used.
Just say it was an old iron pot that I was looking for someone to replace.
When I was making the bed for my dad just now, I saw that the quilts at home were obviously not enough.
I wonder how my family usually deals with it?
Then take out two quilts from the space.
But what should we do since the fabrics of the 21st century are so different from those of today?
If that doesn't work, you can only take out two sets of duvet covers.
While he was thinking in his mind, Wen Keqin came skipping to the front, raised his childish face and looked over at him while walking backwards.
"Sister, what are you thinking about? Are you thinking about your brother-in-law?"
Wen Kexin finally came out of her deep thoughts. Seeing her second sister's sparkling and mischievous eyes, she blushed and said, "Little girl, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Wen Keqin said with a smile: "Sister, I'm not talking nonsense. I noticed that you were secretly looking at your brother-in-law by the well just now..."
Thunder is rolling!
Wen Kexin quickly thought, since her second sister had noticed it, did her mother see it too? And did he feel it too?
I can't explain it, I really want to hide my face.
I am still young, I am really innocent, but I suddenly remembered his eight-pack abs... ah...
