◎Eat and drink◎
In the evening, when Wei Xuan came home from get off work and was cooking in the kitchen, she heard Jiang Che mumbling to himself outside.
After a while, he yelled, "If you behave yourself, I will give you a quick death."
After a while, he started to coax her again: "Come here, I promise it won't hurt."
Section 16
Wei Xuan found it funny. About an hour later, Jiang Che came in with a bloody knife.
"Wife, everything is settled, what should we do next?"
Seeing that he was also covered in blood, Wei Xuan hurriedly said, "Take the water I just boiled and go take a bath next door. There's no rush. It's cold anyway, so you won't get pregnant if you leave it outside overnight."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Che lowered his head and sniffed, then turned his head away in disgust and obediently fetched water to take a bath.
...
...
Wei Xuan went out to take a look and saw that the chickens and ducks were now lying quietly in the basins.
She didn't move. It would definitely be too late to boil water and pluck the hair today, so she decided to do it tomorrow.
After dinner in the evening, Jiang Che told Wei Xuan about his encounter with Song Jianjun at the factory today.
"He is also working in the factory now, in the Propaganda Department. We chatted for a while, and he even said he would find time to have dinner with us."
"You agreed?" Wei Xuan replied casually, thinking in her heart, Song Jianjun? Why does this name sound so familiar?
"I'm just being polite. He asked, so I have to give him some face. Besides, don't I remember that you have a good relationship with his cousin?"
Oh! Wei Xuan remembered that Song Jianjun was the cousin of Bian Qianqian, the original owner's friend in the county town. She was able to get to know Jiang Che because of this relationship.
"Okay, when you have time, invite some friends to your house for a gathering." Wei Xuan remembered that Jiang Che used to have many friends, but since they moved, he hasn't been out and about.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Jiang Che sighed and said, "Ah, it feels like we haven't seen each other for a long time and we've become strangers. Sometimes when I run into them on the street, I feel like I have nothing to talk about."
Wei Xuan felt amused. Jiang Che was now completely focused on making money, but it was not easy to tell others about this kind of thing. Of course, she felt like she had nothing to talk about with others.
She had met Song Jianjun several times and thought he was a decent guy, much more friendly than Jiang Che's other cronies, so she encouraged him, "We're not busy now anyway, why don't you invite him and the two friends from last time to your house for a get-together? Friends need to see each other more often to become familiar with each other! If you don't see each other for a long time, you'll definitely become distant."
Jiang Che was moved by what she said. He had indeed not contacted his old friend for a long time. After a long while, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll make an appointment next time I see him."
Next, the two began to process the slaughtered chickens and ducks. They still had to be marinated first, but it only took one night. After marinating, they put them directly into the pot and cooked them. When no more blood was produced, they could be taken out and hung up.
Generally, it can be eaten after one or two days. Just cut it into pieces and eat it cold or steam it.
That night, Wei Xuan cut a small half of the duck to eat.
Jiang Che picked up a piece and ate it first: "Hmm, compared with the fresh ones, it has a different taste."
Wei Xuan also likes to eat it. She feels that the pickled ones taste chewier and more fragrant.
In her previous life, she couldn't eat too much salty food and could only taste it once each time. So today she couldn't control herself and accidentally choked. She got up in the middle of the night and drank three glasses of water before she could fall asleep soundly.
Wei Xuan originally asked Jiang Che to invite friends to their house for a gathering, but after finishing all these, it would be the New Year's Eve in a few days, so Jiang Che had to take the cured meat and sausages at home to Wu Yun to sell before the New Year.
Wei Xuan was not idle at home, for Chinese New Year was all about eating and drinking. She fried some twisted dough sticks today and some meatballs tomorrow, or made some dumplings, buns, and steamed buns and put them outside to freeze for later consumption.
When Jiang Che returned home today, he saw his wife preparing delicious food in the kitchen again.
After being fed by his wife during this period of time, he felt that his face had become rounder.
"What delicious food are you going to make today?"
Wei Xuan kept moving her hands: "I saw that there are some taro at home, so I am going to make some taro cakes and fry some taro balls. I will go home for dinner tomorrow, so I can bring some back for the children to try."
Jiang Che looked at her in surprise: "I thought you didn't like your sister-in-law."
"I don't like my sister-in-law, but the child is still very cute." After saying that, Wei Xuan looked up and rolled her eyes at him, and said unhappily, "Why, do you think I am such a narrow-minded person?"
"No!" Jiang Che quickly clarified: "You are the kindest, cutest and most beautiful in my heart."
"Come on." Wei Xuan was amused by his exaggerated tone: "Okay, I'll be there soon, take the food into the house and prepare to eat."
"Dele!"
During the meal, Jiang Che saw that Wei Xuan was thinking about making delicious food for his nephews and nieces, and he must be thinking about her own nephews and nieces as well.
Thinking of her not having been home for a long time, he said, "After the Chinese New Year, when you go back to your parents' home on the second day of the New Year, I will stay at home with you for two more days."
"May I?"
Seeing her eyes light up, Jiang Che was obviously very happy about the proposal, so he said, "Sure, why not. We can bring some more things back to honor our parents when the time comes."
Since the daughter-in-law is so good at earning money, her father-in-law and mother-in-law should enjoy it. Moreover, his mother-in-law is so good to his daughter-in-law that she even gave her 150 yuan as a dowry when they got married. I don't know how long it will take to save this money in the countryside.
Seeing that Jiang Che was considerate of her, Wei Xuan went to Jiang's house the next day and brought two more things.
Although Jiang Che didn't say anything when he saw it, he felt very happy in his heart.
His wife's generosity also earned him face in front of his sister, brother-in-law, and eldest brother and sister-in-law. Everyone was very supportive of the food Wei Xuan brought, especially the youngest daughter of eldest brother Jiang.
The little girl is six years old and she especially loves eating taro balls.
The crispy fried outer layer is the steamed bun crumbs wrapped by Wei Xuan, and the taro inside is added with white sugar, which tastes soft, glutinous and sweet.
Even the fourteen-year-old Jiang Yuancheng never stopped eating.
The two children finished half of the meal in one go. Wei Xuan saw this and quickly stopped them: "Don't eat any more. If you eat more, you'll have a stomachache. Be good, eat it tomorrow if you like."
"Yes, listen to your aunt. Grandma will put it away for you to eat tomorrow."
Although the two children were not very happy, they were still obedient. They pouted their lips and did not reach out their hands again.
Wei Xuan rubbed the little girl's head with amusement: "Auntie will bring you other delicious food next time."
"Really?" The two children said in surprise.
Wei Xuan looked them in the eye and nodded: "Yes, really, I won't lie to you."
Now, the two little ones were completely happy. In their hearts, everything cooked by their aunt was delicious.
Seeing how good Wei Xuan was at coaxing children, Third Sister Jiang praised her without thinking: "Oh, looking at Xiaoxuan like this, she will definitely spoil her children in the future."
After he finished speaking, the living room was quiet for a moment. Wei Xuan glanced at Jiang's mother guiltily. She still remembered that the last time she came to Jiang's house, she made her mother-in-law unhappy because of the childbirth issue. In the end, Jiang Che took her away secretly.
Jiang's mother also felt that her little girl couldn't speak, and she glared at her secretly, saying that she had given birth to a fool.
Jiang San's brother-in-law complained to Jiang Sanjie in his heart. If she didn't know how to speak, she could just keep silent, but she had to reply as if to show how smart she was. Did she forget how she was sent home by her mother-in-law last time?
Only Jiang Che acted as if nothing had happened. He looked around and asked, "Hey, why didn't I see my second sister and brother-in-law today?"
Hearing this, Sister Jiang quickly came to her sister's rescue: "Your second sister called and said that the child is feeling a little unwell, so she won't be coming today."
Jiang Che is no longer just concerned about himself like before. He still cares about his three sisters. Hearing this, he frowned and said, "Is the child okay? Why do I remember that only the second sister's children like to get sick?"
Elder sister Jiang explained for her second sister: "Not all children are like this. It's normal for them to get sick accidentally. From the tone of her voice on the phone, there shouldn't be any big problem." Elder sister Jiang came early, so she answered the phone when second sister Jiang called in the morning.
Third Sister Jiang also said, "Yes, it's normal for children to get sick. My son Mingzhi went out to play a few days ago and caught a cold. He's been coughing for several days and hasn't fully recovered yet."
Jiang's mother was distressed when she heard that her grandson was sick: "It's winter, the child must be taken care of. I am not worried about your second sister. She is meticulous, unlike you who has been careless since childhood."
Third Sister Jiang pouted, not too happy: "If he goes out to play, I can't tie him to my belt and watch him all day long!"
Seeing that they were about to quarrel if they continued talking, Jiang Che quickly tried to smooth things over, "Third sister, if you are busy these two days, you can send the children to my place when you are on vacation. I will take them out to play for a few days. And you, eldest sister, too. I have delicious food at home. Let my nephews and nieces come to my place and get to know each other."
After moving, and seeing Wei Xuan working every day, Jiang Che realized how tiring housework can be.
His three sisters probably have to do much more housework every day than he does. There are only himself and his wife at home, and although there is a lot of work, it is limited. Now he knows how to be considerate of his wife and does things that he can do himself. However, his three sisters have not only elderly people but also children to take care of at home, so they are definitely much busier.
So he thought of taking some nephews home to play when he had time, on the one hand to let the sisters have a rest, on the other hand, it was the New Year, and the family had prepared a lot of delicious food, so the children could have a good meal. Since he was a child, his three sisters had always given him first in everything, no matter if it was delicious or fun. Now that he had grown up, it was only right for him to be nice to his nephews.
He was also thinking about whether he could bring his father-in-law, mother-in-law, nephews and nieces over to spend a few days when he went back to his wife's parents' home next time.
Both Jiang Dajie and Jiang Sanjie were moved by what they heard. If it were in the past, they would definitely have been worried, but now that their youngest brother has moved out, he has become much more sensible. In addition, his sister-in-law is a good cook, so at least they don't have to worry about the child going hungry.
