Blow the air overnight.
The next day.
At six o'clock in the morning, the biological clock, which was more punctual than a clock, took the initiative to wake up Lu Yuan.
After waking up, he glanced at Song Yunping, who was still sleeping soundly. She was exhausted last night.
Just let her have a good rest.
Then, Li Jie slowly withdrew his arm, slowly got out of bed, and walked softly towards the door.
When opening the door, he moved gently again.
The house at home is very old. Although the old wooden door is still strong, it will inevitably make abnormal noises when opening the door.
Fortunately, Li Jie had enough control and opened the door almost silently.
Stepping out of the room, he took a long stretch.
On summer mornings, it always dawns very early. A little after six o'clock, the sun has already come out.
He glanced in the direction of Lei Mu and saw that the door was still closed. It was expected that she was still sleeping.
Lei's mother also has a very regular schedule and wakes up around 6:30 every morning.
After quickly solving the personal hygiene problem, Li Jie walked to the kitchen in the yard. He had nothing to do anyway, so he first cooked a meal for the two women.
When cooking, Li Jie's movements were still very light.
However, as soon as the soil stove was opened, a familiar voice came from behind.
"Dongbao, why are you cooking in the kitchen?"
"Where's Pingping?"
Turning around, she saw Lei's mother looking at Li Jie in surprise. In her mind, the kitchen was their woman's business.
That is to say, in recent years, the trend has become slightly better. More than ten years ago, if there were guests at home, women would not serve at the table.
"She was too tired last night and is still asleep now."
"still sleeping?"
As she spoke, Lei Mu's expression suddenly changed, and she caught the key point.
I was so tired last night.
As someone who has experienced it, although Lei's mother never talks about those things, she still understands the things between men and women.
Thinking about it, she fell silent.
"You go and stay in the house, I'll make breakfast."
Li Jie shook his head. Cooking was a pleasure to him.
"Mom, let me do it. You can enjoy yourself for a while today and let your son take care of you."
This word reached Lei Mu's ears. She was even happier than eating candy, but she still stepped forward and gave Li Jie a hand.
"Go, go, go, the kitchen is our women's place, you men don't need to come."
"What's the old saying?"
"By the way, the gentleman is far away from the kitchen."
Hearing this, Li Jie stopped insisting. Most of Lei Mu's generation thought this way, and it would be a long process to change their ideas.
If at this time, Li Jie directly told her that the so-called "gentleman is far away from the kitchen" does not mean that a man does not go to the kitchen.
Even if it means breaking the sky, Lei Mu still can't understand it.
Back in the house, Li Jie was not idle and began to tidy up the room.
There are still three nails in the broken ship. Although the family is a little poorer, the furniture it should have is also in decline.
We got married yesterday and the house was a mess. Even though Lei's mother cleaned it, there were still many unsanitary spots.
Busy time always flies by.
After a while, there was a movement in the house.
Song Yunping woke up.
The first thing she did when she opened her eyes was to touch the side.
When I touched it, it was empty.
In a blink of an eye, she was the only one left on the bed.
Immediately afterwards, she hurriedly put on her clothes, stuffed her cloth shoes into her shoes, and walked out the door without even picking up her shoes.
As she walked, she was still annoyed at herself for snoozing.
On her first day as a bride, she slept in. What would her mother-in-law think of her?
When Song Yunping opened the door, she saw Li Jie's smiling face at first sight.
"Are you awake?"
Song Yunping looked around and saw no sign of her mother-in-law.
At this time, there was a crackling sound of fire coming from the kitchen outside the door, so Song Yunping rolled her eyes at Li Jie.
"Why didn't you call me when you woke up?"
After finishing talking to Li Jie, Song Yunping walked out of the main room with small steps.
Before getting married, her mother had given her many warnings that when marrying into the Lei family, she must be diligent and not be too lazy.
As a result, on the first day of her wedding, she left the impression on her mother-in-law that she liked to sleep in.
This is very bad.
However, when she came to the kitchen, she saw Lei's mother's tone was very gentle.
"Pingping, are you awake?"
"You're hungry, I'll have breakfast soon."
"Mom, let me help you."
With that said, Song Yunping rolled up her sleeves and prepared to join in. She was not a wealthy young lady. She also did farm work and housework when she was at home.
Lei's mother refused repeatedly: "No, you go help Dongbao and clear the table. Breakfast will be ready soon."
"Forehead."
Song Yunping was stunned for a moment, but finally listened to her mother-in-law.
She didn't have much contact with Lei's mother. Although she met a few times, she didn't quite understand her prospective mother-in-law's temperament.
Anyway, there is nothing wrong with listening to your mother-in-law, right?
Back in the living room, Song Yunping approached Li Jie again.
"Dongbao, I got up late, isn't mom angry?"
"Will not."
Of course Li Jie would not add any psychological burden to Song Yunping and replied with a smile.
"Old lady, it's not too late to be happy."
"Happy?"
Song Yunping's eyes were slightly opened, her face full of confusion.
"Think about it, why did you get up? Because you are too tired. In the eyes of the old lady, you are contributing to the family."
Li Jie chuckled and joked.
"So, how could she be angry?"
"Pooh."
If Song Yunping still didn't understand what she was talking about, her book would be in vain.
Why didn't you realize that Dongbao was so bad before?
He's glib and doesn't sound like a good person.
After a while, with the sound of "dinner is ready," Li Jie and Song Yunping went to the kitchen together to help serve the food and dishes.
The breakfast this morning was very rich.
There are not only large white noodle steamed buns, but also boiled red eggs. In addition, the leftover pork from yesterday's banquet is also on the breakfast menu.
In fact, it is not so much the leftover braised meat as it is that Lei Mu quietly left it behind.
In banquets these days, as long as it's a tough dish, it's basically impossible to win.
Especially popular dishes like braised pork. The braised pork here at Xiaolei’s house is similar to the braised pork with pickled vegetables in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
But the braised pork here at Xiaolei's house is salty. They use pork belly skin, which is first fried in oil and fried until it looks like tiger skin.
Then marinate in the prepared seasoning overnight.
The next day, the marinated pork belly skin will be steamed in a bamboo steamer together with local pickles.
Steam on medium-low heat for more than ten hours.
This dish is waste of oil, waste of materials, and waste of effort. Normally, you can't even eat it if you want to, only for weddings and weddings.
Therefore, this dish is not only famous, but also delicious.
The meat skin is smooth and elastic as soon as you eat it. It has the aroma of sauce, the saltiness of pickles, and the meaty taste of the meat skin itself.
