Chapter 5 Cunning
Lin Shu didn't take the child's secret seriously, but asked cooperatively: "What secret?"
Little Panpan laughed with his head raised, not a trace of evil, but like a little silly sculpture. He said: "I dreamed that my father came back and hugged my mother and kissed her."
Lin Shu's white face flushed.
Children are ignorant, and many adults in the countryside are outspoken. Some women and men even deliberately tell dirty jokes to children, just to see them say incomprehensible dirty words with innocent expressions.
Lin Shu dropped the hoe and tickled the kid, "Who taught you that? Lu Panpan, I warn you, if you dare to kiss other girls casually, I will beat your butt."
Panpan wanted to run, but Tiantian came to help hold down his muddy feet.
Panpan shouted: "No, no, I don't have any relatives."
Tiantian set a trap for him, "You let Huahua kiss you."
Lin Shu: "!!!"
So you can use the beauty trap at such a young age?
Panpan: "No, no, she wanted to kiss me and I ran away. I told her that men and women should not kiss each other casually. Grandpa said so!"
Grandpa studied in a private school. Although his style is a bit feudal, he has no problem educating children, so Lin Shu was relieved.
Although there are always people posting videos of children kissing each other on the Internet, Lu Panpan is different from others.
He is the villain in the original book! The villain with peach blossoms flying all over the sky!
She must not let him attract too many romantic partners. Besides, the living environment of children in the countryside is a problem. Many children start to be sensible in their early teens and get married at 15 or 16.
She doesn't want Tiantian and Panpan to be like this!
The three of them were covered in mud. Lin Shu saw that the sun was setting and quickly asked them to wash themselves, change into clean clothes, and then wash and hang the dirty clothes.
She first mixed pig food and crushed sweet potato vines to feed the pigs, and then went into the house to cook dinner. The cornmeal
steamed buns had been steamed long ago. She opened the pot and picked them out one by one with cold water. The golden cornmeal steamed buns were also tempting when they were just steamed.
She took one, broke it open, and cooled it in a coarse porcelain bowl for the two children to eat.
After picking out the nests, Lin Shu scooped the boiling water from the pot into a dark soup pot.
The water from steaming the dry grains was smoked yellow by the wheat straw and had a bit of smell. It didn't taste good to drink, but everyone wanted to save firewood, so some people didn't care about it. Most people drink raw water in summer, but Father Lu knew about health preservation and didn't let his family drink raw water. They had to boil it before drinking.
Lin Shu stood at the door and glanced at the yard. There were no leafy vegetables planted, so there was nothing to eat now.
It was late May now, and all kinds of green vegetables could be eaten, but the family only planted vegetables that were full and could be stewed. The pumpkin had grown palm-sized pumpkins, and the pumpkin grew fast, with a few black and green pumpkins hanging. There was no sign of other cucumbers yet.
Lin Shu picked three pumpkins.
Lin Shu thought this was the black-green zucchini, which the locals called pumpkin and square pumpkin. It should have come from South America.
The pumpkin at this time was better than the later zucchini. It tasted sweeter and less watery. It was very delicious to mix it with eggs and paste to make a paste.
Of course, oil is needed. If there is no oil, it is better to mix it cold.
Shred the pumpkin, blanch it in boiling water, drain it, cut the scallion, ginger, garlic and chili, and then heat the oil to pour on it. Then add two spoons of light soy sauce, one spoon of oyster sauce, one spoon of chicken essence, a little sesame oil, one spoon of white sugar, and one spoon of vinegar. It is refreshing and refreshing, and it can relieve summer heat and stimulate the appetite.
Slurp... Unfortunately, there is only farm sauce at home. Dip it in one or two drops of sesame oil, and cut the scallion, ginger and garlic.
The two kids stood by the chopping board and looked up at her curiously. Mom is cooking a dish they have never eaten before!
It must be delicious!
In the past, pumpkins were cut into pieces and boiled in salt water, and then more water was added to make soup.
Lin Shu gave them a little to taste. Tiantian
squinted her eyes, "Hmm, delicious."
Panpan widened her eyes exaggeratedly, "Mom, your cooking is getting better and better! Dad will definitely like it!"
Lin Shu: "Mom will tell grandma to raise more chickens, and when they lay eggs, I will make pumpkin egg pancakes for you."
Panpan nodded repeatedly, "I say, I say, Dad likes it too, grandma will definitely raise more."
It was getting dark, and Lu Dasao and Lu Ersao came back carrying hoes. Second
Sister-in-law Lu: "Sister-in-law, I twisted my wrist when I was weeding the ground just now."
First Sister-in-law Lu: "I'll get you some medicinal wine to rub it later."
Second Sister-in-law Lu: "No, but you may have to cook and fetch water later."
These days, the third family has been lying on the kang, avoiding work. The cooking and feeding pigs that were originally her responsibility have been assigned to the two of them by her mother-in-law, which really annoyed Second
Sister-in-law Lu. It's comfortable enough not to go to the fields, but now she doesn't even cook or feed pigs. Does she really think she's the young lady of a landlord's family?
Second Sister-in-law Lu is jealous of Lin Shu's beauty and good fortune. She married a handsome and promising brother-in-law with her face. Her parents-in-law are partial to her, and they look down on Lin Shu's character. She is stupid and soft, and anyone can manipulate her.
She often manipulates Lin Shu every day, either asking Lin Shu to wash clothes and make shoes for her or asking for things. Dare she not give them? She immediately squeezed over and said, "You from the Third Family must not be so stingy." Lin Shu was thin-skinned and was immediately caught by her.
Now that Lu Shaotang is gone, looking at the original owner lying on the kang half dead, Lu Ersao had a secret sense of pleasure in her heart.
She felt that Lin Shu was finished, her man was gone, and Lin Shu's temper would suffocate her to death in a few days.
There were such petty-minded women in her family, who would think about a lot of things and could not get over it easily. In the end, they would either commit suicide or die of illness.
She also secretly made a bet with her sister, she said that Lin Shu might get into a dead end and suffocate herself to death, and her sister said that Lin Shu was so beautiful that she would definitely not be able to keep it and would remarry soon.
While she was secretly thinking about these messy things, she was jealous of Lin Shu lying on the kang for several days without doing any work.
Of course, she dared not say it on her face, and had to wipe her tears with red eyes while caring for her sister-in-law and crying for her lost brother-in-law.
She really felt sorry for her lost brother-in-law. Ren Jun could make money. Even if she had no feelings for her brother-in-law, she had feelings for the money he sent back!
At noon, the mother-in-law came home angry, and the second sister-in-law of Lu thought that Lin Shu would definitely be scolded, probably severely. The first
sister-in-law of Lu: "Okay, I like to cook. I think my cooking is better than the third sister-in-law's."
Second sister-in-law Lu rolled her eyes in her heart. How dare you say your cooking is delicious when your cooking is as bad as pig food?
The third brother's family didn't work these days, so the first sister-in-law Lu took the initiative to cook and ruined the whole family. In the end, she and her mother-in-law took turns to cook.
The first sister-in-law Lu sighed and said worriedly: "The third brother... Alas. The third brother's family fell down as if they were hit by a club. I don't know when they can get up again."
Although Fang Dihua and Lu's father did not accept the news that their son was gone and insisted on not holding the funeral, the first sister-in-law Lu felt that the person... was probably gone.
Second Sister-in-law Lu pouted, "Sister-in-law, you are really kind, the third brother's wife is probably hiding."
Sister-in-law Lu: "No, the third brother's wife is an honest person, although she is a little bit careful, but she has a deep relationship with the third brother. Hey, such a good young man, holding me, I can't stand it. If your eldest brother... Wuwu, I have to jump into the river."
As she spoke, Sister-in-law Lu's eyes turned red and she began to wipe away tears.
Second Sister-in-law Lu looked at the big and strong sister-in-law, dark-skinned, and ordinary-looking sister-in-law, and rolled her eyes crazily in her heart. The third brother's wife is so pretentious, but you ugly thing, why are you so pretentious!
But she said, "Sister-in-law, don't talk nonsense. Brother is in good health. You and your husband have a good relationship and will definitely live together forever."
Sister-in-law Lu immediately smiled and said, "Go home and take a rest. I am strong and can do work like a game."
When they were almost home, Second Sister-in-law Lu pulled Sister-in-law's sleeve and whispered, "Mom must have scolded the third child when she came home at noon. She must be crying and dying now. Sister-in-law, be careful not to offend her. She will be sick and rely on you."
Sister-in-law Lu: "Ah? Our mother scolded her? Why? She was sick because of the third child. She should take a rest."
Second Sister-in-law Lu couldn't help but rolled her eyes. This person didn't understand what she said!
She wanted Sister-in-law to scold Lin Shu with her and watch Lin Shu's excitement together, but the result... was really boring.
Second sister-in-law Lu couldn't wait to go home, to see Lin Shu crying her heart out, and to make a joke, "Old Third, why are you crying like an opera singer?", which would surely make Lin Shu even more angry.
The two entered the courtyard, and Second sister-in-law Lu walked quickly into the house, her eyes immediately reddened, "Old Third, you better think positively." She
even cried.
First sister-in-law Lu subconsciously reached out to grab her, but failed. She wanted to say that her parents-in-law had long told her not to talk about her brother-in-law at home, and didn't want the two children to think their father was gone, which was so pitiful!
Second sister-in-law Lu wiped her tears and rushed into the main room, but saw the two children sitting on a small stool eating cornmeal steamed buns and... vegetables?
The two children turned their heads at the same time, staring at her with their big black eyes that looked exactly like Lin Shu's.
Lin Shu was also eating cornmeal steamed buns next to her, commenting as she ate: "This cornmeal will definitely taste much better if it is ground a little finer."
Seeing the second sister-in-law coming in from outside crying, Lin Shu took the initiative to eat, "Second sister-in-law, there is still a big pot of steamed buns. We can't finish them. You don't have to cry in a hurry." In the past, when
the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law came back and saw Lin Shu and the children eating, they would say, "You are eating deliciously. No wonder they say that a three-year drought will not kill the cook. Haha." When the eldest sister-in-law said this, she might just be saying it, but the second sister-in-law must have a hidden message: Look, she is eating at home again!
Lin Shu is using offense as defense.
Second Sister-in-law Lu looked around the room in astonishment. She saw Lin Shu's big peach blossom eyes were full of water. She didn't cry like a rotten peach, nor did she look sulky and aggrieved as before. Instead, her eyebrows and eyes were relaxed and beautiful, and she was no longer the timid look before!
What's wrong with this?
Could it be that... her mother-in-law gave the money to her?
Thinking of this, Second Sister-in-law Lu felt sour and angry. The money belonged to the family, how could she be given to a person alone!
When Mrs. Lu came into the room and saw that Lin Shu was fine, she breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Old Third, you are okay
. Your Second Sister-in-law was worried that you would cry to death at home, so she came back to see you in a hurry." Second Sister-in-law Lu said dissatisfiedly: "Sister-in-law, I am concerned about Old Third."
I don't know if this sister-in-law is really stupid or pretending. She always brings up what she said in private and makes it seem like she wants to see the excitement. How embarrassing.
Lin Shu stared at her with a pair of beautiful watery eyes. The eldest sister-in-law looked innocent, and the second sister-in-law was cunning. Don't think she didn't know that she came back early to see her laugh.
Even a blind person can see the gloating expression, right?
Mrs. Lu: "Old Second, Old Third has finished cooking, you don't have to worry."
Second Sister-in-law Lu: "!!
Damn it, I hate it most when people call me Old Second!
Seeing Lin Shu looking at her with a half-smile, she became even more furious and wanted to control Lin Shu as she did before.
