Chapter 48 Tears of heartache flowed from the corners of my mouth



After swallowing the sweet flesh, Xu Niannian finally felt that he had regained some energy, and the whole world became beautiful.

It didn't take long before they arrived at the entrance of the village and dropped off everyone in the car.

Xiao Li walked up to Xu Niannian somewhat embarrassedly and apologized to her:

"I'm sorry for causing you to be misunderstood."

He usually didn't talk much to girls and wasn't very good at talking, so after saying this he just stood there in a daze.

Xu Niannian waved at him:

"It's fine."

The crowd dispersed.

The aunties hurried back to feed the chickens and do housework.

The educated youth hurried back to rest.

Xu Niannian also walked quickly towards the village chief's house. When she arrived at the village chief's house, it was already 2:40 and everyone in the family had gone to work.

The door was not locked in the summer and the yard was very quiet.

Xu Niannian took out the ribs she had bought from the space and carried them directly to the kitchen. But then she thought that the meat might go bad if left out for a few hours in this weather, so she took it back to the house and put it directly into the space.

After tossing and turning for the whole morning, she was all sticky, so she went straight into the space, took a shower, changed into pajamas and went to bed.

When I was half asleep, I heard some noise outside. I looked at the time and it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. I guessed that Aunt Song had come back to cook.

When the farming season is not busy, someone in the family will come home early to cook so that the family can eat as soon as possible after work.

After changing her clothes, she picked up two pounds of ribs and walked out of the house.

Aunt Song was sitting on a small stool, bending over and washing vegetables in the yard.

When he saw her coming out, he raised his head and spoke to her:

"Hey, Xiao Xu is awake. If there are any vegetables you want to eat, go pick them from the field. You're welcome."

The vegetables grown in the vegetable fields are neatly arranged there like guards, which is pleasing to the eye. This is the time when farmers are most free to eat vegetables.

Xu Niannian carried the ribs in his hand into the kitchen:

"Thank you, Aunt Song. I bought two pounds of pork ribs when I came back. Let's cook them together tonight."

When Aunt Song heard this, she immediately got up and went to the kitchen to take a look at the ribs she bought:

"That's not possible. You can eat it yourself. I'll pickle the extra for you so you can eat it for a longer time."

In the countryside, they only eat meat during weddings and funerals, and at the end of the year when the village slaughters pigs together.

So two pounds of ribs is really enough.

Xu Niannian stopped Aunt Song:

"Yesterday I wanted to give Uncle Song the rent money, but he refused. If he refused my offer of two pounds of spareribs, I would be embarrassed to live here. I wanted to buy two pounds of fatty meat, but it was too late, so I only had spareribs."

Aunt Song saw that this girl was a real person:

"You can live here with peace of mind from now on. The room is over there anyway. If you don't live there, it will be idle."

Although she said that, Xu Niannian understood that these days, not to mention the rent, eating was also a big problem. Even when visiting her parents' home, she had to bring her own food.

How can I have the nerve to eat and drink for free at someone else's house when I'm going to stay there for two or three months?

Thinking of this, she went into the house and got three bags of dry food and put them in the kitchen.

Aunt Song had gone back to wash the vegetables, but when she saw her carrying three bags of unknown things into the kitchen, she jumped up immediately:

"Oh my god, please don't put anything in there anymore, or Old Song will scold me when he comes back."

"No, these are flour, rice, and millet."

No one knew what the relationship between Lu Huaijin and that comrade was, so the comrade asked Uncle Song for help.

Her principle is to try not to let others suffer losses. Her comrade-in-arms does have that kind of friendship with Uncle Song, but it is impossible for Aunt Song to have no opinion on people coming to her house to eat and drink for free, but she cannot be so tactful as to not know what's good for her.

Other people’s feelings are theirs. The more you use them, the less they become. You should also be sensible and continue to pay them back.

Especially when these things are not important to her, she can try to make life better for those around her.

Aunt Song took it and saw that the flour was whiter than Comrade Xiao Xu's face. This was too valuable. She was so frightened that her face turned pale:

"Then I'll make it for you alone. It's too expensive."

"No, no, I don't mean to cause any trouble to you. We can just eat together."

Aunt Song watched Comrade Xiao Xu taking ribs and food this afternoon and thought that she was really greedy.

But she is a city girl, so it is not appropriate for me to say anything bad about her.

She opened her mouth, but no words came out.

But considering that his partner is an officer, it shouldn't be a big problem for him to support a wife.

Xu Niannian looked at the ribs in front of him:

"Aunt Song, let me cook the spareribs tonight. This is my first time at home and I should let you taste my cooking skills."

What else could Aunt Song say? She realized that this girl had her own ideas and she couldn't control her.

"Then tell me what you need."

"Then Aunt Song, please help me get four big potatoes, and some green onions, ginger, garlic, and chili peppers."

When she went out today, she saw that there were quite a few people at home and there were not enough ribs, so she thought it would be better to add some potatoes when stewing them.

Aunt Song quickly dug up four large potatoes and a handful of onions, ginger, garlic and chilies, and washed them in a basin of water before bringing them over.

After I came here, I found that there were more seasonings and oil in the house:

"Xiao Xu, there's oil. Why do you even bring this?"

Xu Niannian planned to cook two dishes, one was pork ribs stewed with potatoes, and the other was steamed pork ribs with rice flour.

Use a bone chopping knife to cut the ribs into small pieces and set them aside to soak in cold water.

She took advantage of this time to cut the potatoes into pieces of appropriate size, and chop the onions, ginger, and garlic. Because there were children at home, she only cut a little bit of the peppers.

The next step is to prepare the steamed pork with rice flour. Mix the ribs with flour and wash them with water. Add shredded ginger and some seasonings and marinate them.

First put the oil in, then add the seasonings and stir-fry until fragrant. The aroma instantly fills the entire kitchen.

Aunt Song was standing aside, her eyes popping out at the amount of oil being added. What a mess.

But she can't tell others to cook.

When cooking in the village, people are used to wiping the walls of the pot with cotton cloth and just getting a little oil on it.

Who would have expected such a scene? She was standing at the door, but now she walked out by herself.

She was afraid that tears of heartache would flow out from the corners of her mouth in the next second.

In the kitchen, Xu Niannian had already dyed the ribs with sugar color, and finally put the potatoes in, stir-fried them for a while, added hot water and covered the pot.

Just let him gurgle inside.

Next, add flour to the marinated ribs, put a layer of potato slices underneath, and add it to the steamer.

Aunt Song saw that she had finished cooking and smelled the fragrance in the yard. She didn't expect that the other person, who looked like a spoiled child, could cook so skillfully.

If she doesn't have a partner, she will definitely introduce her son to someone else.

After thinking about it, he felt that his son was not worthy of her because he heard that she only had a high school education.
