"Sister-in-law, you were not at home but I was very busy. I washed all these clothes...you don't know. I washed them and hung them to dry on the rope. My mother came over to take a look. She disliked me for fooling others and immediately Pick out a few pieces and let me wash them again! Sister-in-law, look at it, my hands are still red..."
Zhou Zhi stretched out his hands with a grimace, a look of grievance on his face.
Yao Jingping was happy. This arrogant girl was so rough in her work. It was really embarrassing for her to allow her to wash so many clothes and then ask her to wash them clean.
"Work hard, eat more delicious food and replenish your energy..."
"Where are the things I asked you to get back..."
"At this!"
Zhou Zhi hurriedly ran to the back room and took out a nylon bag and handed it to Yao Jingping.
Yao Jingping nodded and walked into the room with Zhou Zhiyuan.
"This is the dress that my second uncle took off from that person."
Zhou Zhiyuan took the clothes out of the bag and looked at them carefully.
The clothes are of good quality, with expensive fabrics and fine workmanship. The cuffs also have a layer of tight elastic bands. These are not clothes worn by ordinary people.
After Tian Xinping had chopped the minced meat, she came over to take the cabbage placed on top of the kang, ready to cut some cabbage hearts and mix them into the minced meat.
Otherwise, just eating meat will make you feel tired.
He looked up and saw Zhou Zhiyuan holding a chuck shirt with fire marks in his hand. He looked familiar and said something casually.
"Zhou Zhi, doesn't your brother also have such a dress?"
"Mom, I haven't seen my brother in three years. How did I know that my brother has such a dress?"
Then he realized in hindsight that his mother was referring to Liang Mingyuan, and she couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Oh, Mom, you mean Liang Mingyuan, right? Mom, he is not my brother! Don't forget the things he did..."
Zhou Zhi sniffed, pointing at the big pot stove like a greedy cat, and pestered Tian Xinping to ask if she could eat some braised meat now.
She didn't want to mention this person at all. Thinking of what he had done made her sick!
She simply changed the subject.
"Brother and sister-in-law, you don't know that the stewed stew made by my mother is the most delicious in the world. I even went to my neighbor's house this morning to ask for peppercorns. It's very fragrant..."
Tian Xinping was about to say something, but she opened her mouth and swallowed the words.
Zhou Zhi has hated Liang Mingyuan since he was a child. Even if they live together under the same roof, he still doesn't treat him well.
She felt that this little girl was a little sensitive. What did such a young child know?
If she hadn't regarded her as his biological sister, could Mingyuan have given her a towel when she took a shower?
In the past, I just thought that the children were young and ignorant, and the fights would be over. Now it seems that things are really not like this. I am afraid that Zhou Zhi and Liang Mingyuan will never be able to untie their knots because of that incident.
Alas, this kid is too serious...
Taking a look at Zhou Zhi, who was following Yao Jingping with a rice bowl and staring at the braised pork in the pot intoxicatedly, Tian Xinping shook her head helplessly.
After returning to Beijing, I will find time to invite everyone to have a meal together. As a family, it is better to be harmonious.
Tian Xinping's cooking skills are really impressive. She put pig's head, pig's trotters, pig's intestines and a whole chicken in the pot. In the soup, she put large ginger slices, chive segments and some star anise peppercorns, and even the soup contained pork and beef. A big pot full.
"Zhiyuan Jingping, you all sit down, I'll help you make it. Over there, I roasted some dried chili peppers, chopped them up and put them in a small bottle. If you like spicy food, just take a spoonful and put it in when you drink soup. A little bit, it’s fragrant, spicy and delicious..."
She quickly washed her hands and took an aluminum iron basin. She fished the meat into the big basin with a colander, cut some pork cheeks into three large bowls, quickly poured a spoonful of broth on it, and greeted the three of them warmly. A child.
"At noon we eat meat and drink soup to make pancakes. It's very delicious. The meat in the pot is used to make a pot of pork jelly, and everything else is put into jars."
"Jingjing, I steamed some steamed buns and steamed buns last night and put them in the vat over there. I wiped the vat clean. From now on, if you two don't have time to eat at work, you can put them on the grate to heat them up in the morning and eat them. "
Yao Jingping vaguely felt something was wrong. Hearing what Tian Xinping said, why did he seem to be leaving?
Come to think of it, she was originally from Beijing, and she couldn't adapt to a poor place like Zhoujiatuan. There was no heating, no bathroom, no solar energy with hot water 24 hours a day, and she used earthen stoves to cook in the latrines. It's not convenient to use the toilet, wash your face or brush your teeth, so who would want to stay here.
I should go back after the New Year.
She nodded politely and said thank you.
After eating, Zhou Zhiyuan specially brought a small pot of meat and some braised meat to his second uncle, which made him extremely anxious.
He repeatedly asked him not to send things here every day. He didn't give up until Zhou Zhiyuan told him that these were for him to eat with Zhou Changcun's family.
The crackling firecrackers sound one after another, it is getting late, and the cheerful laughter of children comes from the streets and alleys. The annual New Year festival is finally here.
Zhou Zhi got a firecracker with 500 heads from somewhere and hung it high on the courtyard wall. He lit the firecracker with a lit stick, covered his ears and strode back to the house, hugging Yao. Quiet, jumping up and down with excitement.
Crack, crackle!
The lit firecrackers made a festive and warm sound, and the burning firelight reflected on the faces of several people standing in the yard. Zhou Zhile couldn't close his mouth.
"sister in law!"
"Why!"
"I feel so happy, I feel so lucky. Do you think I am the lucky star of the family? If it weren't for me, where would my mother find such a good brother or such a good sister-in-law? I would say that my sister-in-law and I are Let’s be a family, we have really become a family!”
"In the new year, I wish our whole family good health, happiness and reunion. My second brother can also come back. Our whole family will be safe and we will be together forever!"
Zhou Zhi's shouts were drowned in the sound of firecrackers...
In order to prepare this New Year's Eve dinner, Tian Xinping started working from the 29th to the 30th of New Year's Eve, trying to prepare a more sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.
This is the first New Year's Eve dinner after finding my eldest son.
Naturally, dumplings are indispensable for the New Year’s Eve dinner, including white flour dumplings stuffed with cabbage and pork, braised carp, fried chicken with pepper, cold fungus, fried saury segments, fried potato chips and fried meatballs.
There are chicken, fish, and meat dumplings. Even if this food was placed in Beijing, it would be worthy of mention.
They were busy setting up a table, and even specially served some dumplings and fried goods for Zhou Zhiyuan to send to Zhou Yongshan. They only waited for Zhou Zhiyuan to come back before starting the dinner.
Looking at Tian Xinping's expectant face, Yao Jingping was worried that Zhou Zhiyuan, who was unable to turn around, would go to spend the New Year with his second uncle tonight. Seeing Zhou Zhiyuan walking out with dumplings, he specifically proposed to go there with him. Second uncle, I'll be back in a moment.
"She is really good to you. If you should recognize her, just recognize her..."
"Send the dumplings to my second uncle. You have to go home for dinner."
Zhou Zhiyuan nodded.
As soon as I walked to my second uncle's door, I heard a woman crying.
Zhou Zhiyuan couldn't help but frown, quickened his pace and strode forward.
