At noon, while eating, Deng Qingling and Guo Youxing said that their uncle's second sister had returned and that it was their uncle's birthday the next day. She also gave their family a lot of things, which were all placed in the kitchen.
Liang Xueying said that she would pickle the meat and make it into bacon, and eat it after a few days when Guo Jianping came back. She would go to her uncle's house to help tomorrow morning.
Deng Qingling nodded after hearing this. Guo Jianping is coming back. It feels a bit like meeting someone online. She is a little nervous, but also a little excited. I have accepted reality so quickly!
This is good too. My parents-in-law are good in all aspects of their behavior, so I think my husband won’t be too bad either.
The next day
Uncle Guo's family started to get busy early in the morning. Liang Xueying and Deng Qingling were boiling water and making soy milk in the kitchen, preparing to make sour tofu.
Guo Hongqing was slaughtering a chicken in the yard, while Guo Jiaojiao and her children were watching on the side. The yard was filled with a cheerful atmosphere and everyone had smiles on their faces.
"Everyone is here, we're going to kill the chickens." The eldest aunt Guo Mei and the second aunt Guo Meidi walked in with their hands full of things.
"Yeah, you're here so early? And you come together?" Aunt Liang Ying saw that they came together. You know, their families are not in the same brigade.
"We met at the intersection," Second Aunt Guo Mei responded as she put the things on the ground.
"Yes, fortunately I met Amei, otherwise it would be difficult for me to carry so many things by myself," said the eldest aunt Guo Mei, without stopping her hands, untying the fish basket and pouring out more than a dozen eels and loaches.
"Come and kill these together"
As he spoke, he undid his clothes and took out a lot of things, including cabbage, dried bamboo shoots, sow lettuce seedlings, and a big pumpkin.
"Sister, we already have a pumpkin at home, why did you bring it back?" Yes, everyone didn't understand.
"Oh, this is not a local pumpkin, it's a fragrant pumpkin from other places, very fragrant," Aunt Guo smiled proudly, "This is the seed I asked someone to find for me, it's unique."
“Really? Let’s try cooking it later.”
"Share the seeds with us so we can plant them next year." Don't treat pumpkin as food. When you have nothing to eat, pumpkin is your life-saving straw.
"Yes, yes."
Everyone was talking and laughing.
"Shredded tofu, who wants shredded tofu?" Liang Xueying shouted loudly in the kitchen.
(Tofu pudding is called tofu pudding, but the name varies from place to place)
"Yes, eldest aunt and second aunt, do you want to eat some raw tofu? You can put some sugar in it," Deng Qingling asked them. Everyone had drunk soy milk before they came.
"Eat. I'm a little hungry. I'll serve myself. Where's the sugar?" Aunt Guo Da and Aunt Guo Er took the bowl and walked towards the kitchen.
"On the table"
Aunt Guo was eating at the door with her bowl in hand, saying, "Ah Qing, the eels will be cooked soon. Eat more, eels are good for blood circulation."
Deng Qingling looked over and saw her eldest cousin soaking an eel in water. His hands were wet with blood and the eel was still moving. She suddenly shuddered.
Wow, so disgusting and scary, it looks like a snake! I don't dare eat this thing.
Deng Qingling has been terrified of these slippery animals since she was a child. She would rather starve to death than eat them.
"Thank you for your kindness, Auntie. I don't eat this. It looks a bit scary."
"What's there to be afraid of? It's delicious. You can cook it into soup and drink some of it. I brought it from far away." Aunt Guo felt that her niece-in-law was too thin, so she wanted to persuade her to eat more.
"Okay, I'll try it later." It would be a bit ungrateful to refuse again.
With everyone's help, lunch was ready soon.
