Chapter 43: Pork and the Mama's Boy Husband
Lin Yiyi followed Zhao Sheng's instructions and gave half of the candy and biscuits to Wang Caihong.
She took the cured chicken and fish into the kitchen and hung them there.
He opened his backpack, took out two large balls of messy navy blue wool, and immediately frowned.
Okay, she would have to spend some time to re-roll the yarn.
Looking at the two large bottles of vanishing cream and clam oil, Lin Yiyi couldn't say a word of complaint.
Most men of this era are straight, rough and macho, without the details, warmth and sense of ritual of later generations.
Each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
If you are too serious and have a sensitive heart, you will be the only one who feels uncomfortable.
As long as he buys everything she wants, it'll be fine.
Times are different, and concepts are different.
In this era, people get married after meeting each other through blind dates, but in later generations, it is fast-food style love, and people’s hearts are restless and difficult to settle.
Carrying the things to the main house and telling Wang Caihong the news that her son had returned, Lin Yiyi got a cold shoulder from her mother-in-law.
In the past, Zhao Sheng always brought more candies and biscuits every time he came back. Wang Caihong suspected that Lin Yiyi had hidden these two small bags and said in a bad tone, "How could there be so few? Did you steal most of them? The family hasn't even been divided yet, and you, a new daughter-in-law, are already hiding them?"
"Your son said they would each buy half, and he only bought this much. If there's less, you can ask him for it." Lin Yiyi didn't want to be scolded by her, so she spoke bluntly.
It was indeed half for each, but she took out two more candies from the bag when she was in the yard.
Wang Caihong was so bluntly criticized by Lin Yiyi that her face turned ugly and she angrily threw the cotton shoes in her hand at Lin Yiyi.
This little slut!
Things that need to be cleaned up!
The man dared to talk to his mother-in-law like this when he came back.
She wants to see whether her son listens to her as a mother or to this little devil!
The second son is well-known in the whole village for his filial piety. In his two marriages, his mother had the final say in whoever he married. If someone pissed her off, she would ask the second son to divorce her and get the damn girl out!
Humph, now that a divorced woman has the nerve to stay in Zhaojiatun, let’s see.
Then let’s see how Lin Yiyi will beg for her forgiveness with tears and groaning!
Lin Yiyi had seen her mother-in-law quarreling with others, and she was very fierce. She nimbly dodged the flying cotton shoes and ran out of the door.
I made pork, cabbage and vermicelli for dinner, using a pound of pork.
She hung up the rest. There were many people in the family, so this little meat was just for some meat. The rest had to be saved for the New Year.
To be honest, Zhao Sheng is quite capable to be able to bring back such a big piece of meat.
The original book describes that many families only eat meat once a year, and even if they have meat coupons, they can only get half a pound of meat.
Little boy Tiedan played wildly outside with his brothers, and then ran back on time.
He helped Lin Yiyi light the fire. Knowing that he would have meat to eat in the evening, he was so happy that he circled around Lin Yiyi's legs.
Wang Caihong smelled the aroma of meat in the house and felt something was wrong.
When she ran to the kitchen, she saw meat being fried in a large iron pot. Seeing that there was quite a lot of meat in the pot, her face fell and she shouted loudly: "Who told you to fry the meat? You greedy woman, save this for the New Year!"
Every year a few days before the Chinese New Year, the second son would bring back pork.
Wang Caihong thought that Lin Yiyi always cooked according to her rules and would not waste food, so she did not come over to hide the pork.
Who knew that she just closed her eyes and relaxed for a while, and the damn girl was so bold that she directly cut the meat and fried it.
She has a plan for pork.
We eat part of it during the Chinese New Year, and let my eldest son take some back when his family comes back after the New Year. We will cook the rest for Congcong and Lili when school starts.
In winter, cold pork will not go bad even if kept for a month or two.
Lin Yiyi was also angry because she was scolded for cooking every day.
I should have fired them all earlier, saving nothing!
In modern times, she was too lazy to cook and ate takeout every day. But here she is, cooking three meals a day for the whole family and still can't get a good meal.
The purpose of buying meat is to eat it.
Besides, Zhao Sheng didn't stop her from touching the pork. He only cut a small piece of meat. Everyone would eat it after cooking it. Was it necessary to be so exaggerated?
If you have the guts, reach into the pot and take it out.
Lin Yiyi didn't care about her mother-in-law's expression. She directly poured the vermicelli and cabbage into the pot, stir-fried it for a few times, added cold water, put a circle of corn tortillas on it, and covered the pot with a wooden lid.
You can't bear the scolding in vain, you still have to eat the meat, otherwise you will lose a lot.
"Oh, mom, don't be so petty. The meat is ready and everyone is eating it. If you are not happy and can't bear to eat it, then just don't eat it!"
She was afraid that her cheap husband would suddenly come back and hear her arguing with his mother, so she spoke in a very low voice.
You only have one mother, and if you lose your wife you can marry another one.
But you can't argue with a man's parents in front of him. It's a different story if the man is not at home.
Don't expose people's shortcomings when exposing them, and don't insult people when scolding them.
No matter how weird your husband's mother is, the three words "filial piety", "elders" and "mother" will make you look a little less impressive.
Sons will definitely side with their mothers, and will just argue and fight with their mother-in-law without caring about anything else. What they basically end up with is the mother and son beating up their daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law crying and making a scene.
Lin Yiyi is not stupid. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is a competition between females. Let’s see who can act better.
Meat was stewing in a large iron pot, and the aroma wafted from far away. Wang Caihong knew that the meat was already in the pot, and it was too late to say anything. She glared at Lin Yiyi, and took all the cured chicken, fish, and pork back to the house.
When her son came back, she asked the second son to teach this damn girl a lesson. The more she looked at her, the more she disliked her. She didn't know if it was because of their horoscopes.
Ever since Lin Yiyi came in, she had been annoyed by him a lot.
Dusk time.
Wisps of smoke rose above the entire Zhaojiatun, the cold air was filled with the aroma of food, and the children who were playing outside ran back home.
Zhao Li and Zhao Sheng, carrying two large bundles of firewood, walked into the yard one after another with Zhao's father, who had just returned from a walk.
“I’m back.”
Father Zhao looked at his two sons and spoke kindly.
Zhao Sheng didn't say much. He just called out "Dad" and piled the firewood against the wall with his third brother Zhao Li. After washing his hands, he went to the main house to prepare for dinner.
Wang Caihong looked at her second son who came back and sat on the bench, leaning against the kang cabinet with tears in her eyes. Zhao Sheng thought that his mother was missing his elder brother and did not dare to be too sentimental.
My parents have always favored my eldest brother since I was a child. I know my status in the family very well. I would call him "Mom" and sit aside, tapping the table with my index finger habitually.
Zhao Sheng is a man of few words.
Wang Caihong felt a little restless when she saw that her son hadn't spoken for a long time. She groaned a few times and beat her chest, pretending to be short of breath and ready to die at any moment.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Are you sick again?"
Wang Caihong had suffered from heartache from time to time over the years. Zhao Sheng stood up, picked up the teacup and handed it to his mother, asking her to drink some hot water to relieve her pain.
Wang Caihong sighed deeply, pretending to be pitiful and choked up, "Son, mother is old, and people dislike her everywhere~"
"What are you talking about? You are the one who manages this family. Who can blame you?"
Seeing Wang Caihong's expression, Zhao Sheng, as a son, couldn't help but express his opinion, and his tone was more concerned.
Who else?
I’m not your wife, so why should I yell at you?
