Sun Fugui didn't understand, but his intuition told him to listen to his wife.
Only when the daughter-in-law is happy will their family be happy.
Just like his father, who has listened to him all his life, if his mother is happy, the atmosphere in their family will be good.
He must not be like his elder brother. He made his sister-in-law unhappy several times. Not only the children were cautious, but also the parents were unhappy.
In the end, he had to listen to his sister-in-law after all the fuss.
After thinking about this in his mind, Sun Fugui saw something interesting and went to work.
Seeing Sun Fugui holding a basin and preparing to wash vegetables, Xia Qingmai also used a knife to cut meat with nimble hands and feet.
As the name suggests, bacon and paella must contain bacon, vegetables and rice.
Zhou Lu gave her two large pieces of salted pork belly, about four pounds, and cut off one or two. The meat is very salty, so you don't need that much, just a little.
For the vegetables, I will use the green vegetables given by my mother-in-law. As for the rice, it is a bit luxurious to use all polished rice. Xia Qingmai plans to put half the polished rice, add more green vegetables, and add some beans and chopped corn soaked before going out in the morning.
The bacon and vegetable rice produced in this way is not pure, but nowadays, when we live at home, how can we cook directly with polished rice.
Even if their family can afford to eat, if others see it, they will still discuss it.
As for the pumpkin given by Sister-in-law Hu, it is just perfect for making pumpkin soup.
In fact, their family can afford to eat rice made entirely from polished rice, but if they really eat like this, the neighbors will discuss it when they see it.
Especially since there is an inquiring sister-in-law Hu living next door, she naturally has to pay more attention.
When Sun Fugui saw that Xia Qingmai had added beans and chopped corn, he hurriedly asked: "Isn't there not enough polished rice at home? How about I go buy some more in the afternoon?"
Xia Qingmai, who was about to cut up the vegetables washed by Sun Fugui and put them into the pot, heard Sun Fugui's words and quickly shook his head and said: "There are more, no need to buy them. We are just living at home, how can we just polish rice?"
After saying that, Xia Qingmai paused and continued: "But if you have the means, you can buy some millet. You can also use millet and red dates to cook some porridge sooner or later to replenish your body."
Hearing what Xia Qingmai said, Sun Fugui did not answer immediately. He nodded, and then mentally counted the food stamps at home.
In fact, the family still has a lot of food stamps. They all have urban household registration and receive food supplies every month.
After that, as the children get older, their appetites will gradually increase. If all the food provided is replaced with refined grains, they may not be enough.
In addition, their family has to give some grain to their parents every year. Although they didn't say whether they were giving refined grains or coarse grains, he had always given them refined grains.
Is Qingmai worried that the family will not have enough food at the end of the year?
Xia Qingmai didn't know what Sun Fugui was thinking. She knew how to cook like this just because she didn't want to stand out.
There are a lot of neighbors coming to visit these days. If they see that their family not only eats meat but also uses fully polished rice as a luxury, someone will definitely talk about it.
Meat and eggs must be eaten every day, so naturally we can only make some discounts on food.
Surprisingly, the bacon paella with two handfuls of beans and chopped corn was also delicious.
The pork belly has a rich texture and the red part is chewy.
Eat two or three bites of bacon, vegetable and rice, and drink a sip of sweet pumpkin soup.
During the lunch, Sun Fugui and the two children only burped.
Seeing how full they were eating and drinking, Xia Qingmai, who had only eaten eight percent full, couldn't help laughing.
"I can make it later if you like it. It's not complicated." As he spoke, Xia Qingmai saw the two children's eyelids fighting, and quickly pushed Sun Fugui and said: "I will take the two children out to eat, you put the pots and bowls After washing, warm some hot water and leave it for us to come back and wash up."
Sun Fugui did not dare to question what his wife said, so he stood up and got busy.
Seeing Sun Fugui starting to work, Xia Qingmai also walked out of the house holding a child by one hand.
The autumn afternoon was still a bit hot, so Xia Qingmai didn't take the children far, so he just walked around a few times.
After a brief walk, the two children finally stopped rubbing their bellies, although they still yawned.
In this way, Xia Qingmai led the two children home.
"Shu Yan, Shu Yu, today is the first time. Mom has not stopped you from adding more food, but do you feel comfortable eating too much?"
She was young and didn't understand so much. When she heard Xia Qingmai's words, she immediately raised her head and looked at Xia Qingmai in confusion.
But three-year-old Shu Yan has already understood some things.
He raised his other hand to rub his belly, then blushed and whispered, "Mom, I know I was wrong."
As soon as Shu Yan finished speaking, Shu Yu, who was his brother's follower, immediately responded: "Wrong, wrong!"
Xia Qingmai didn't expect that three-year-old Sun Shuyan and one-year-old Sun Shuyu would remember what he said.
But as a mother, she should take the trouble to teach her children in daily life.
This is not only good for their health, but also a lesson in etiquette.
For example, when eating, you should support and hold the bowl. You should not lower your head and stretch your neck to reach for the bowl.
There are also things like sitting without shaking your legs, eating without turning over dishes, etc.
These things should be told to children over and over again in daily life while leading by example.
I brought the two children home, wiped their hands and feet, and then let them go to the crib to sleep for a while.
After waiting for the children to fall asleep, Xia Qingmai turned back to the big bed.
Sun Fugui was worried about the pile of things on the big bed.
With so many fabrics that can be made into outerwear, as well as white cotton and cotton thread, where do you put them?
Xia Qingmai came to Sun Fugui, looked at him while tapping something, and said, "Today is the first time. From now on, you should pay more attention to your meals. Just eat until you are seven to eight cents full."
"Today, the two children saw that you were eating too much, so they also ate too much. We can't do this again in the future."
"Not to mention that this is not good for your health, but it can also easily lead to bad children."
Xia Qingmai's tone was soft. Seeing Sun Fugui looking up, she continued leisurely: "I'm very happy that you like to eat my cooking, but I don't want you to have a bad stomach, and I'm worried that the children will imitate you."
"We will live together for the rest of our lives. I will cook a lot of delicious food. There will always be a day when you have enough."
Sun Fugui was not a person who didn't know what to do. When he heard Xia Qingmai's words, he quickly nodded and said: "I know Qingmai, I will pay attention to it in the future."
"As for what you said about eating enough of the food you cooked, I don't think so. When you don't want to cook, I can do it as long as I'm at home, or we can go to a state-owned restaurant to eat."
Sun Fugui's words were thoughtful, and Xia Qingmai felt comfortable listening to them.
Seeing Xia Qingmai laughing, Sun Fugui was just about to ask Xia Qingmai where to put these things on the bed when he heard another voice coming from his ears.
"There's something I haven't told you yet. On the day of our wedding, my cousin secretly told me that my family wanted to share my second uncle's pension."
As soon as Sun Fugui heard this, he knew that his wife would be unhappy. Sure enough, when he turned around, he saw her frowning and looking very angry.
"Qingmai, I support you in whatever you want to do."
Sun Fugui admired Captain Xia Hong, and had heard a bit about the heroic second uncle's previous plans.
Now that his wife is mentioning this matter to him, she definitely has an idea.
All he has to do is listen to his wife and support all her decisions.
