As soon as the couple came out of the room, they saw a steaming dish of braised fish on the dining table, usually about a pound of river crucian carp, fried until browned and crispy, braised with some soy sauce, and finally sprinkled with a handful of chopped green onions.
Topped with thick fish soup, it is delicious and delicious.
"this……"
The couple looked at each other in disbelief.
"Dad, Mom, I'm just about to call you to start dinner." Cheng Shaojin came out of the kitchen with a plate of vinegared cabbage in his left hand and a casserole of mushroom and tofu stew in his right hand. "Let's eat while it's hot. There's still chicken stewed in the pot.
, the chicken is thicker, Yinyin said that it will become more fragrant and more flavorful if it is simmered for a longer time.”
"These...are all made by Yin Yin?"
Mother Cheng still doesn’t understand her son? It’s okay to go home and do some physical work. There is no need to cook. Either fry the vegetables or boil the vegetables. You can eat them, but it is definitely not as good as this.
Good presentation.
Especially the mushroom and tofu stew in my son’s hand, it sounds like a new style dish.
As a result, I took a spoonful of tofu and took a bite from the spoon that my son handed me. It was so delicious that my eyebrows almost flew up.
"delicious!"
“They are all vegetarian, but they taste so delicious when stewed together!”
“Yin Yin is so capable!”
Father Cheng and Mother Cheng looked at each other happily, feeling like they had found a treasure.
When the family sat down to eat, I heard my son talk about his daughter-in-law's performance in the reclamation team, and I felt like I had found a treasure.
"The yield per mu of reclaimed wasteland in the first year is this much?"
"Yinyin was selected as a model worker in the national reclamation team?"
"Yin Yin is so strong!"
As for the daughter-in-law being a member of the land reclamation team, and not a civilian resident as they initially thought, what does it matter! As long as the son lives a happy life!
I don’t know whether it was the medicinal oil brought by her daughter-in-law that was particularly effective, or whether it was because she was in a good mood after eating a dish cooked by her daughter-in-law. Mother Cheng’s waist and back ached no longer hurt instantly, and she was so happy that she wanted to tell the world.
But they didn't want the neighbors to know that they had chickens and fish, as well as dried bamboo shoots, mushrooms, cured chickens, and bacon brought by their daughter-in-law from the north, and the couple couldn't bear it.
After finally waiting for the opportunity to distribute wedding candies to the neighbors, when the neighbors asked how their new daughter-in-law was doing, Mother Cheng said with a smile: "You also know that Ajin is so picky and can make him feel so bad.
?"
"Hey! Seeing how happy you are, you think your daughter-in-law is a great one?"
It’s more than good! Cheng’s mother thought to herself, it’s just a treasure.
It can really be said that you can go out of the hall and enter the kitchen.
He is a kind-hearted person, hard-working and capable, and the dishes he cooks are more delicious than those cooked by the restaurant masters. He is also very strong. I have been at home these past few days, and I have tidied up the house with my son, inside and outside, and wake up every morning.
The water in the water tank is full, the water in the soup pot is hot, the porridge is boiling in the casserole, and the cakes are baked in the pot. It can be said that this is the first time since she married into the Cheng family that she has felt idle.
"In short, Lao Cheng and I are extremely satisfied. I won't give you some wedding candies so that you can also feel happy."
"..."
Cheng's mother showed off her daughter-in-law's goodness to her neighbors and wanted to spread the word to her relatives.
Cheng Shaojin stopped her helplessly: "Mom, don't you have a backache?"
"It's been fine a long time ago."
"...but the uncle's house is far away. It's freezing and snowy, and it takes most of the day to walk there. You don't always say that the uncle is too shrewd to only get in and out. It will always be our family that suffers when dealing with him. Anyway, grandma is not here.
Now, if we can have less contact with each other, we should have less contact. Why are you thinking about going to his house now?"
"We don't usually interact with each other, but are you getting married? For such a big happy event, you should always share some wedding candies with them. Last time your cousin got married, didn't your aunt come to our house to show off... Well, you should share the wedding candies with them.
?”
"..."
Cheng's father coughed lightly and said, "Since your mother likes it, let her go. I'll go to work and ask if the bus is there. If it is, I'll take her there by bike."
"..."
The two couples really set off to Uncle Cheng Shaojin's house to send gifts and candies.
The two of us were left together, you looked at me, I looked at you, and laughed.
"Okay, let's think about what we can do to help the family before we go back."
The two of them were going back to Beiguan soon. They bought train tickets for three days later, so they could stay for another three days.
In the past three days, the two of them worked together to tidy up the house and outside: they washed what could be washed and dried what needed to be dried. Before leaving, they filled water tanks with water, rice buckets with rice, oil bottles, vinegar bottles, and soy sauce bottles.
Fill them up one by one.
Xu Yin also asked Cheng Shaojin to get a cured chicken leg, go out and exchange for two kilograms of eggs and come back, fry a leek and egg stuffing, make a basket of leek and egg steamed dumplings, and stick a pot of leek and egg pancakes. Half of them were eaten on the way.
, and left the rest for the in-laws to taste.
On the day of departure, Uncle Cheng and his wife walked on the snowy road for a long time to see her off, and took a look at the niece-in-law who was so impressed by Cheng's mother: What can go out of the hall and into the kitchen... Where in the world can this be?
Is there a woman who is truly beautiful, virtuous, and capable? Most likely, Mother Cheng is bragging.
When seeing her off at the train station, Mrs. Cheng glanced at Xu Yin several times and said that she was really good-looking. No wonder Ajin fell in love with her. As for virtuousness, it was not necessarily so. Look at her thin arms and legs, her delicate little face.
What will he do?
After putting the nephew and the young couple on the train, the group arrived at Cheng's house. When they entered the door, they heard Cheng's mother startled and kept saying:
"Oh, Yinyin really couldn't take any time off. She insisted on cleaning the house and outside before leaving, and refused to let me and Lao Cheng help. The quilt the young couple slept on was also removed, and the quilt cover and inside were washed, dried and folded.
They have to be neatly arranged, and the quilts have been dried and put away. Now Lao Cheng and I are at ease..."
"This kid! He's about to leave, and he came back specially to buy two kilograms of eggs with money, and insists on steaming dumplings and making pancakes for us..."
"Look, the oil bottles, vinegar bottles, and soy sauce bottles are all full. It must have been Yin Yin's suggestion. When Ajin came back before, she could only fill the water tank with water. How could she expect to get these details..."
"Hey! The rice jar is full! Lao Cheng! Lao Cheng, come and take a look! My son and daughter-in-law bought rice for the family out of their own pockets! And they bought so much! They must have spent all the money now..."
Immediately, Cheng's father muttered, pretending to be scolding but actually praising him: "Yinyin, this kid, won't listen no matter what I say..."
Uncle Cheng and his wife looked at each other, feeling sour in their hearts, thinking about their own daughter-in-law, and then looking at other people's daughters-in-law... Oh! There is no comparison!
When Cheng's mother saw the rice that was almost overflowing, she no longer wanted to show off. She couldn't help but worry for her son and his wife: "This child! They spent all their money to buy this and that for us. What do they have to eat for themselves? They just got married.
, What's the point of not leaving some money on hand! Lao Cheng, hurry back to your house, write a letter, and send them some money. Life is so hard over there in Beiguan. It's not as good as at home. You can't live without money..."
