Carrying two heavy big persimmons in his arms, Jiang Anan returned home contentedly. It was getting late, so she relied on the memory of the original owner to light a fire in the stove.
The busy farming season consumes a lot of energy, so every household will eat dry rice at noon. In the cabinet, there is still half of the fried bacon with dried radish from last night. I will stir-fry it twice to heat it up later.
Jiang Anan planned to make another cold dish. She pinched a handful of peppers, two tomatoes and an eggplant from her plot, and burned them in the stove while the rice was cooking.
After a while, the spicy aroma of fire filled the entire kitchen. The vegetables cooked over low heat have a unique flavor. Peel off the burnt shells, mash the peppers and tomatoes, tear the eggplants into strips, put them into a large bowl and stir together, add chives, soy sauce and salt.
A dish of roasted pepper and eggplant is ready!
Chili peppers in the south are mostly made from two vitex branches, which are full of spiciness to stimulate the taste buds and whet one's appetite.
When Lin Meiru hurried home to cook, she found that her little girl had already cooked. She immediately held her hand nervously and checked: "It's not burned, is it? If you are hungry in the future, you can steam some egg custard yourself. That’s fine, we’ll make the food when mother comes back.”
Although Lin Meiru was full of complaints, she could not hide the happiness and relief between her eyebrows and her mouth.
"Mom, I have nothing to do at home, so I can help you cook." Jiang Anan was quite helpless. There were no entertainment facilities in the 1970s, so lying down at home was more than just a literal meaning.
Lin Meiru frowned, took out a dollar from his pocket and put it into her hand: "If you have nothing to do, go to the county town for a stroll, and go to the supply and marketing cooperative to find good food for your second sister."
"Your mother is right, we can do all the dirty work. Don't you usually love reading? Go to the county town to buy more books, or go to the cinema to watch movies." Jiang Degui went into the kitchen to wash his hands and handed it to Jiang An'an. A handful of peanuts: "Dad secretly hid them and ate them as snacks in the afternoon."
Jiang An'an: "..."
The old Jiang family is really lucky that the original owner was not pampered and turned into a prodigal!
"boom!"
At this moment, the door was forced open.
The auntie rushed in angrily: "You little bastard, get out of here. You dare to report to the captain about kissing your uncle. Your cousin lost his job as a scorekeeper. I will tear up your stinky mouth today."
The old couple looked at each other.
During the pause, the little girl had already walked out, her voice full of ridicule: "What? Are you allowed to have an idea of my marriage? I'm standing here. If you dare to raise a finger today, tomorrow I will ask my fourth cousin, Fifth cousin lost his job in the factory.”
As if pressing the pause button, the eldest aunt's raised hand was frozen in mid-air. His face turned green and white, and his old face looked ferocious and twisted because of anger: "You dare?"
Jiang Anan stretched out her face: "You want to try to fight? Tomorrow I will call the red sleeves in the city to arrest your man."
Even though she was smiling, the aunt's scalp felt numb, and a chill shot up from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. When did the little brat become sharp-tongued and invulnerable to fire and water?
"You, you..." She took two steps back, then sat down on the ground and rolled around: "You damn girl, you are reporting to your uncle, you are unfilial and disobedient, what kind of evil did my old Jiang family have to do to support you?" I got something like you that even my relatives don’t recognize.”
"You old bastard, how dare you bully my daughter on my mother's territory, and think that I, Lin Meiru, am a vegetarian?" Lin Meiru was afraid that she would scream something, so she rushed forward, raised her arm and slapped her in the mouth.
Bang bang bang!
After more than a dozen slaps, the aunt's cheeks swelled up on the spot, and she was even more blindfolded. Her eyes were filled with doubts about life.
Jiang Anan leaned aside.
Hearing is believing, seeing is believing, and finally we understand why Lin Meiru can run rampant in the countryside and win the title of the most fierce woman in Hongqi Commune!
If you can take action, never push. Compared with being bullied, reputation is not that important. Otherwise, when the famine broke out, the second family was forced to separate their families, and their family of six did not know how to survive.
"stop!"
"The second brother asked your mother-in-law to stop, and the whole family got into a fight. What do you mean?"
Uncle Jiang supported the old lady who was late. In addition to the two sons who were working, the four sons of the whole family came out together. They were so tall that they blocked the courtyard gate in an instant.
A slight smile appeared on Jiang Anan's lips: "Uncle, you and my grandma can come alone, why bother to mobilize the whole family to apologize."
Owner of the big house: "..."
They are here to fight!
Jiang Anan moved a stool from the house and sat down, putting his hands on his knees, his soft and cute look: "Let's get started."
Look at how much hatred there is...
"..." Ah, ah, let's start with you, uncle! ! !
The people in the big room were almost angry to death, and their cheeks were so angry that they were as bulging as puffer fish.
Uncle Jiang's eyes were dark and he scolded: "Damn girl, you are so cruel, disobedient and unfilial at a young age, why don't you quickly kowtow to your breast and admit your mistake."
Jiang Degui stood in front of his little girl and straightened his back: "Brother, don't go too far. I haven't settled the matter with you about the marriage change yet, but you came to my house to act wild first."
His eyes changed: "Mother, a person has a face and a tree has a skin. The eldest son you value the most is much more shameless than me. Are you trying to show off in front of me? Huh! The worst is possible."
"Second brother, that's your brother and nephew!" The old lady stared in disbelief.
Jiang Degui retorted: "I am also your biological son! Mother, what can I do to you that makes you dislike me everywhere?"
"When I was a child, the conditions at home were not good, so you had to make sure your elder brother had enough to eat. During the famine years, you knew that separation would lead to a dead end, so you gave away the second room for less than ten kilograms of corn. Most of the thatched roofs of the old house were leaking; now, You have finally had a good life, but you want to show off your power again. Do you have to be separated from your second wife?" At the end of the sentence, Jiang Degui's eyes were red.
His mother has always favored the first house, but now she has to step on the bones of the second house, and the clay figurine is still bloody.
The past events were moved to the table one by one, and the whole yard was silent.
Mrs. Jiang blushed and suddenly realized that her younger son had a deep grudge against her. She couldn't help it, it had been like this for generations, and the eldest son inherited and continued the old Jiang family's legacy. Everyone is like this, what's her fault?
The old lady felt extremely wronged and felt that her younger son did not understand her and was simply a white-eyed wolf.
Moreover……
"Jiang Anan is just a bastard..."
"Mom, shut up!" Jiang Degui burst out shouting in vain, his eyes as fierce and sharp as a knife, scanning everyone present one by one: "Let me say it again, Jiang An'an is my daughter, if anyone keeps talking nonsense, don't blame me for turning against you. people."
Jiang Anan licked her lower lip, and her beautiful almond eyes widened.
The original owner is not his biological child?
But Jiang Degui and his wife held her in their hands and pampered her until she grew up. Even the three older sisters above them could not compare to her...
