Cook up a pot of steamed rice and the work for the day is almost done.
Qian Chunhua took out the cotton wool and cloth she had bought and prepared to make cotton-padded jackets for her three children. Last time, she had asked Qian's mother to help make their underwear, so she had to make the cotton-padded jackets herself.
While Qian Chunhua was busy, Qingfeng was jumping up and down on the kang, very excited because he could have delicious sweet and sour spare ribs and sweet and sour pork in the evening.
When my mother made the dish just now, she gave me a piece to try. It was so, so delicious.
Qingfeng is very sensible. He knows that good things should be saved for his brothers and sisters to share after they come home. This is what his mother's stories tell him, so now he just drools and waits patiently.
After Qingsong and Xiaoling got home from school, Qian Chunhua took out a small casserole of spare ribs and pork chop that she had prepared in advance and asked Qingsong to deliver it to her grandmother.
In order to prevent people from smelling the odor, Qian Chunhua specially prepared a casserole with a lid to hold the food. After covering it, she would wrap it in a tattered jacket and put it in the backpack.
This prevents the smell from escaping and keeps the food warm.
Qingsong carried the backpack on his back and strode towards the Qian family.
The whole family was smiling happily during the dinner, especially the three little ones, whose eyes were narrowed with happiness. They would chew a piece of pork for a long time before swallowing it.
I would turn a piece of pork ribs over and over in my mouth, and only when it has no taste will I be willing to spit out the bones.
If the temperature on the kang hadn't been so high, Qian Chunhua estimated that the dishes would have gone cold and the three little ones wouldn't have finished eating.
In the end, Qian Chunhua had no choice but to divide the tasks and put the spare ribs and pork belly into the three people's bowls. "Eat quickly, or you'll have a stomachache if you eat it later if it gets cold."
After hearing that they would have stomachaches, the three little ones sped up their eating speed. In addition to meat, shredded potatoes were also very popular among the children.
Compared with the relaxed and harmonious atmosphere of Qian Chunhua's family, everyone in the main house of the Zhao family had a heavy expression on their faces.
Zhao Yongqiang and Li Cuihong had just arrived at the Zhao family with their seriously ill father Zhao Qingyun.
The county doctor had already prescribed some medicine for him, but he got sick and the money for the prescription and the medicine cost him two taels of silver.
Zhao Daqing was heartbroken. In just one day's work, in addition to the two taels of silver, he also had to pay Qian Chunhua one tael of silver as compensation in the afternoon.
When Zhao Yongqiang learned what happened in the afternoon, he grumbled in dissatisfaction, "What compensation? We planted the crops in the land. When we broke up, we just gave the land to her and said we would leave the crops to her as well."
Upon hearing this, Zhao's mother looked up at her eldest son, sighed slightly, and lowered her head again.
Zhao Daqing opened his mouth, but finally closed it helplessly, "Then go and get that one or two taels of silver."
Zhao Yongqiang shrank his neck. When he thought of the black stick, he was still frightened and dared not say anything more.
Li Cuihong sniffed hard, "Why does it smell like meat?"
Zhao Qingshui squinted his eyes and raised his chin towards the neighbor. "The smell has dissipated a lot now. It was only fragrant in the afternoon."
Zhao Xiaojuan: "It must be that we have to pay one or two taels of silver to buy the meat."
Li Cuihong slapped Zhao Xiaojuan on the head, "Are you two stupid? Even if you want to go pick some leeks, you should go at night. Who would go out in the morning and get caught?"
Zhao Xiaojuan didn't say anything, but just muttered in her heart, only a fool would go there so late at night, wouldn't it be warmer to lie in bed at night?
