Jiang Xiaohua heard the sound and looked back. It was her grandma who had woken up.
Mrs. Jiang stood in front of the main room, her face slightly cold.
He quickly ran back and helped the old lady: "Nai, if you wake up, go back to the main room and sit down first. I'll get you a bowl of water!"
Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Qian, waved her hand, pointed at the kitchen house and said to Jiang Xiaohua: "Hua'er wants to learn to cook?"
Jiang Xiaohua nodded. Seeing that the old lady looked unhappy, the little girl approached the old lady Qian and whispered with a smile: "Mistress, there is no harm in learning more!"
It was obvious that the old lady definitely heard what Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Liu said.
The old lady Qian Shi said yes and took Jiang Xiaohua to the stove house.
Zhao lit the fire.
Mrs. Liu was preparing to knead the dough. There was still a lot of chicken soup left at noon, so she was just in time to eat the noodles.
Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Qian, took Jiang Xiaohua's hand and entered the kitchen house.
Mrs. Liu was the first to see her mother-in-law, and she was so shocked that she stopped what she was doing: "Mom, why are you here? Do you want to eat something for dinner? You said we can do it."
Mrs. Jiang glanced at Mr. Liu: "I'll do it tonight, you go and wash the vegetables!"
Ms. Liu sighed and gave up her position.
Even if her precious granddaughter wants to learn how to cook, she has to teach her herself.
Old Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Qian, brought Jiang Xiaohua forward, washed her hands first, and then began to explain carefully to Jiang Xiaohua how to knead the dough, how to slowly pour water into the basin, and when to add a little salt.
, which technique should be used to knead the dough to make it chewier?
Jiang Xiaohua stood aside and listened carefully.
In fact, she wanted to say that if a few more eggs could be added, it would taste better.
Of course this is impossible. All the chickens, ducks and goose eggs at home should be saved so that they can be sold at the market during the market.
This can also be regarded as an income for the family.
Adding eggs to noodles is unheard of!
After kneading the dough, Mrs. Jiang taught her sweet granddaughter how to make zongzi.
Mrs. Jiang also said that all the men in the family like to eat soybean noodles, especially Jiang Xiaohua’s father, Jiang Xiangwu, who loves it the most.
The saozi with meat fillings will taste even better when you put some of Mrs. Jiang’s homemade chili sauce on it.
Jiang Xiaohua remembered.
My father loves to eat steamed noodles the most.
If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely make it for my father in a different way.
When the sisters-in-law saw that their mother-in-law was sparing no effort in teaching Jiang Xiaohua in person, if there was anything they didn't understand, it was their own words that were overheard by their mother-in-law.
Mrs. Liu was attentive and did not dare to say anything.
Mrs. Zhao obediently lit the fire in front of the stove without saying a word.
…………
Li Zheng and Ding Yi drank too much at Lao Jiangtou's house and slept in the room.
I was suddenly woken up by my wife, and I was still a little dazed.
MiMi stared at the main room, and waited for the visitor to finish talking about the matter, and everyone walked out for a while.
Li Zhengcai is a very energetic person.
People also jumped up, put on their clothes haphazardly, and said: "Eat first, don't wait for me!"
The man strode out.
Li Zheng and Ding Yi walked out of the room and looked up at the sky with a worried look on their face. How could this be a good thing?
Sighing softly, he walked to Lao Jiangtou's house first.
In the stove house of Lao Jiangtou's house.
Mrs. Qian, Mrs. Jiang, finished making the steamed rice noodles and started rolling out the noodles.
I heard Li Zheng shouting loudly outside the hospital: "Brother Jiang!"
Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Qian, glanced sideways at Mr. Liu, who immediately nodded: "Mom, I'll call daddy."
Mrs. Liu ran out quickly.
Not long after, I heard the voices of Lao Jiangtou and Li talking in the yard.
It was far away and Jiang Xiaohua couldn't hear clearly.
Old Jiangtou asked Li Zheng to come into the house, but Li Zheng didn't come in.
The two of them stood in the yard and said a few words, and soon Li Zheng left.
After a long time, I didn’t hear Old Jiang Tou come in or go out. Is something wrong?
Old Mrs. Jiang stopped what she was doing and looked at Mr. Liu: "You come here and I'll take a look at the rest."
When Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Qian came out, she did not forget Jiang Xiaohua. She took Jiang Xiaohua with her to the yard. She saw Old Jiang looking up at the sky and standing there motionless.
"Old man, what's wrong with you?" Qian, Mrs. Jiang, came closer and asked.
Old Jiangtou looked down at his wife and sighed.
"I just said that if two strong men from one household are to serve in the military or do corvee service, the list of names for Dalingzi Village will be sent to Dalingzi Village in five days, and they will leave in half a month."
When Old Mrs. Jiang Qian heard the news that was like thunder, her body trembled and she couldn't stand. Fortunately, Jiang Xiaohua helped her in time.
The two old men stood in the yard, silent for a while.
No one spoke.
After a long time, Mrs. Jiang tugged on Old Jiangtou's sleeve and asked in a trembling voice: "Old man, can you give me money? Five years ago, it was one hundred yuan a day. Even if it is three hundred yuan a day, we will accept it! We will accept it!"
If you pay, as long as the family is together and safe, that'll be fine!"
Old Jiangtou looked at his wife and shook his head.
"Li Zheng said, this time I can't provide money, I have to provide people!"
"No?"
The old ginger head shook his head.
After a while, Old Jiangtou said with a smile: "It's okay, old man, I'm only forty-eight this year, so I can go."
Mrs. Jiang suddenly raised her head and looked at her man with a sad face. Her lips moved and she shook her head. It took a while before she finally said: "No! You are not in good health, so you can't go."
People don't want Lao Jiangtou to serve in the military at his age. If he does corvee service, he will never come back. That's absolutely not okay!
The two sisters-in-law who were listening behind the kitchen door suddenly fell to the ground, their faces pale.
The father-in-law is old. If they were allowed to go, they would be drowned in the spit of the villagers.
My father-in-law can't go.
Then you can only go with your own man!
Mrs. Zhao fell to the ground and couldn't help hiding her face and started crying. Mrs. Liu was also stunned.
No matter how smart you are, what can you do?
Can you keep your man from going?
cannot!
If anyone disobeys the order, he will be killed immediately!
This is the rule!
During the Da Sheng Dynasty, "all men who were born at the age of seventeen were registered in the military register."
Strong men from the village and those who served in the military were sent to the border defense and were under the command of the border commanders. Due to the heavy responsibilities of border defense, the military service lasted for two years.
He could only return after serving three years of corvée service.
The scope of corvee work was very wide, including building mausoleums, building the Great Wall, erecting pavilions and barriers, making beacon towers, building galloping roads, building embankments, regulating rivers, water transportation, etc.
When Jiang Xiangwen and Jiang Xiangyuan returned to Dalingzi Village, they saw a large group of people sitting under the big locust tree in the village from a distance.
Li Zheng stood in the middle and said something.
Is this... something wrong?
Jiang Xiangwen patted his third brother and said, "You go home and I'll listen."
Jiang Xiangwen threw the things in his hand to his third brother.
The man walked under the big locust tree.
When Jiang Xiangwen returned home with a solemn expression, he was shocked to find that the atmosphere at home was no better than that under the big locust tree. The whole room was filled with gloom and gloom.
It was quiet, no one spoke.
The noodles made by Mrs. Jiang are on the table.
No one has an appetite.
Until the three grandsons of Lao Jiang's family who were studying in Yong'an Academy came back.
The second grandson Jiang Hongming entered the house first, followed closely by a strange young man, followed by the third grandson Jiang Hongde and the fourth grandson Jiang Hongbo.
The second grandson, Jiang Hongming, has a lively temperament. He smiled and called people as soon as he entered the house. After calling in a circle, he ran directly to Jiang Xiaohua, bent down and looked carefully: "Little sister, who am I?"
