marriage is natural

Chapter 266 Who Marries Who Gets Big

He Wei rested at home for two days, basically not idle.

On Saturday morning, I went to the supermarket with my mother.

It's only two months away from the Chinese New Year, and supermarkets and shopping malls have successively launched new year's goods to give away.

When the mother of the mother took advantage of her daughter's stay at home, the two mothers carried a lot of New Year's goods home together.

This year, in addition to sending the old people on both sides, the daughter's god-in-law, and the son's master, some new year gifts must be given to Xu Huixiang's natal family and Mr. He.If you don't return the gift, Hemu will have a bad life for the whole year.

When they came back from the supermarket, the couple took advantage of the sunny day to take out the thick winter quilt at home and turn it over to dry.

There is also a box of sun-dried winter jujubes, which will continue to be taken out to dry.

Xu Huixiang asked a colleague from Zaoxiang to buy it.It is said that it is an organic big winter jujube that does not use pesticides or chemical fertilizers. It tastes sweet and crisp, and it can be stored for more than a year if you can’t finish eating it.

These days, hormones and pesticides are the most feared thing when eating fruit. I heard that I can eat winter jujubes with confidence. There are many people who buy them, but most of them are 150 to [-] catties, and they can hold up to [-] catties. Like Xu Huixiang, I bought [-] catties in one go. Not many, but if so, the total amount can pull a truck.

The truck left early in the morning and returned in the evening, so when Xu Huixiang got off work, he asked He Chifeng to pick her up, and brought back fifteen foam shockproof boxes containing ten catties.

Her family kept four boxes, He's family sent four boxes, and she sent the rest to Kyoto by express mail, so that the elders on both sides could taste it.

During the harvest and picking period, the jujubes have not been exposed to rain, so they can be stored for a few days, but they can only be stored for a few days. Even if they are stored in the refrigerator, they are easy to rot after a long time.

Hemu asked her son to send a box to his master's house, and took another box to the store to eat with everyone.The remaining two boxes, if they are close, can be distributed to the elderly on both sides to taste, but it takes a day to go back and forth. Is there any jujube in my hometown? If not, a box will be delivered by express.

Coincidentally, the second sister-in-law, a little sister in her boudoir, just asked her to sell her own winter jujube two days ago. She was embarrassed not to buy it, so she asked for [-] catties. The erlao's fruits these days haven't broken dates.

In this way, Hemu would not have to send it to Hejiabu.

After all, you can’t eat too much fresh jujube, as eating too much is not good for digestion, it’s better to dry it in the sun, and it’s good to take some back to cook porridge or soup during the Chinese New Year.

As for her natal family, He Mu originally wanted to send a box, but when she called, she heard that Mrs. Zhou meant that she would send more and give ten catties to her elder sister, younger brother, and younger sister. , It is said that dates are heavy, but ten catties of dates are actually not many.I also asked her if she still had the crab sauce she brought back last time, and if she had any, she would send some more. The eldest granddaughter and the younger grandson love it...

He Mu was so angry that she almost dropped the phone.

Not to mention that her own family didn't have so many dates, even if there were enough, why would she send them to those three families?Which one brought food and drink to her?
Last year, my niece stayed at my house for so many days, did my eldest sister bring anything to my house?There wasn't much human contact in the first place, but after what happened last year, I made even more excuses not to contact each other.How cheap is he, still holding dates and giving them to people?
My brother-in-law and my sister-in-law, too, came to the city to see a doctor this time. I ran back and forth to help register and get the medicine. I was tired all day, and the couple didn’t have to say "thank you" when it was over. I even paid for the registration fee and lunch by myself. money.

Just like that, let yourself take this and that?The food in your own home is not bought with money.It’s true that Dongzao was sent by my daughter-in-law, but it’s not a favor, so don’t return it afterwards...

The more Hemu thought about it, the angrier she became, and she simply didn't send a catty.It is said that after asking about the courier and sending it to Meilongqiao, the dates will probably rot, so let's wait for the New Year's Eve to bring some dried dates together.

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhou murmured her dissatisfaction, and said, "It will be bad if you send it, so just send it over. You and Jianshun don't go to work, so you just do some work at home, and you don't have time to spare." ? How much work would it take to run a trip to Meilong Bridge..."

Hemu pretended not to hear, hung up the phone after speaking, picked out a box of winter jujubes in one go, and put them in the sun to dry.The rest are tied up in a fresh-keeping bag and sealed in small bags, and can be stored in the refrigerator for a few more days.No, I can still eat a few bags when my daughter comes.

After the mother and mother turned over the dates, He Mu drove her daughter back to the room, whether it was reading or resting, in short, she didn't need to worry about the rest.As a result, when she returned to the house after cleaning the balcony, she found that her daughter had cleaned up every corner of the house with a mop in her left hand and a feather duster in her right hand.If it were a son, even if he was on vacation after the college entrance examination, he would not take the initiative to clean up the house.

On Sunday morning, Lao Wu got up early and went to the wood factory to pull a cart of new wood, and it was just noon when he pulled it to the store.

Lin Shuigen had a visitor at home today, he seemed to be a matchmaker for his daughter, so he agreed the first day that he would not come today.

Father He went to look for an old carpenter who was an excellent carver, but he hasn't come back yet.

At the dinner table last night, the family chatted about their plans for the future. Father He said that he wanted to add a kind of carving to each of Heji's wooden utensils. This carving will represent Heji in the future. Every Heji product will have such a kind of carving , the pattern should not be too complicated, but it should not be too simple, so that customers can recognize it as a Heji product at a glance, and it will take some effort for others to counterfeit it.Unlike the word "Heji", it is too easy to counterfeit.

He Wei thinks this method is good, it is equivalent to a store logo.So after dinner, she ran to the study to draw a few pictures for her father.One of them fell in love with her father. It was a hollow rose flower with a raised H at the bottom, which represented Heji.

"This is good!" He Xidong came to join in the fun, pointing to the rose flower in He's father's photo and said, "Rose flower, and the word Wei Wei, how meaningful it is."

Father He slapped his thigh: "Success! That's all."

He Wei was speechless.She didn't draw roses because of her name, hey!
But both father and father thought this was a good one, and He Mu who followed in also said it was beautiful, so the logo of He Kee was finalized three to one.

No, as soon as we had breakfast today, Father He happily ran to the old carpenter with the pattern of the crape myrtle flower in his hands.

Father He and Lin Shuigen were not there, so when would Guanglao Wu have to be unloaded alone, so Mother He put down the work in hand and went out to help, worrying that there would be no time for lunch. Can't help complaining: "Your dad is really too! He knows that he bought the goods today, but he still doesn't come back after this order, and the store logo is not in a hurry, so why do you have to go today..."

He Wei took the initiative to take over the job of cooking, and comforted her: "Dad is also impatient, so don't worry if you decide early. I guess he is probably on the way back. Maybe the road is blocked so he didn't arrive. Don't worry, Mom, I will give you lunch later." Let's do it, you can help Uncle Wu with peace of mind, and make sure to serve the food on the table before you finish unloading. After eating, Uncle Wu can go back to catch up on sleep."

If you go to the timber factory to collect goods, you have to get up early, and if you go late, good materials will be picked away.Even if it is the same price and the same type of wood, there are differences.This is the reason for choosing the taller among the dwarfs.

In the past, Father He bought goods and had to go out at four or five in the morning.Now that I have changed to Lao Wu, it is a little better because I have a car, but it is not too late, plus loading and unloading, and running back and forth, it is definitely a lie to say that I am not tired.

He Mu was worried, and wanted to say how the bicycle she was riding could be blocked, but He Wei pushed her out of the small kitchen, "Ah, mom! Just trust me once, if I don't do well, you won't let me cook next time." Like? Look at me, didn’t I make soup and cook dishes by myself at school.”

"What's the matter? There are so many people in the family. Even if you know how to do it, it will be tiring to do it for so many people. You have to go back to school in the afternoon, and you have to study by yourself late at night. What if..."

"No, it's just a meal, don't worry."

After He Wei pushed her mother out of the kitchen, she simply closed the door of the small kitchen. Anyway, the ingredients to be cooked are all in the kitchen, and there will be no business outside at the moment, even if her mother comes here.

Having said that, this is indeed the first time she cooks independently at home.

In the past, her mother was the chef, and she was at best a helper, so her mother was so worried.But in fact, apart from making soup, she also cooked several times independently in He Qingdong's apartment, and it's not a problem to cook a few home-cooked dishes.

I looked through the ingredients her mother bought in the morning: meat dishes include fish and duck, and I bought a lot of vegetarian dishes, including winter melon, pumpkin, eggplant, beans, etc., all of which are seasonal fresh vegetables.She figured it out, the beans can be fried with bacon marinated at home, the eggplants can be fried with sauce, the pumpkins can be fried with salted duck egg yolks, and winter melons can be used to make a winter melon soup.

Just in time, there are scallops wrapped in the small refrigerator, and then cut some bacon, mushrooms, carrots, bamboo shoots, and put them in the winter melon, it will definitely taste delicious.

As for the two meat dishes, she had already figured out how to prepare them.

The fish is black fish. After buying it, let the market side slice it, and remove the main bone, head and tail.Just right, there are two dishes, black fish two to eat, the fish fillet is slippery, and the fish head and fish bones are stewed with tofu.

She peeled half of the garlic in the fish fillet, and put some shiitake mushrooms in the tofu soup. The dried shiitake mushrooms must be soaked in water first, and the slippery fish fillets should also be marinated with cooking wine, salt and starch.

The preparation of the fish is completed, and then the duck is cooked.

After buying the duck, let the stall disembowel and wash it. What He Wei needs to do is to wash it. After washing it, she blanch it with clean water. Add cooking wine, salt, soy sauce, and then pour two bottles of beer. After the fire boils, turn the fire to simmer and simmer slowly. It is the so-called beer duck.

He Wei was busy in an orderly manner in the small kitchen, but He Mu, who was unloading goods with Old Wu outside the store, was a little anxious, lest her daughter burn the kitchen down.Therefore, as soon as he saw Father He coming back on his bicycle, he didn't care to ask why he came back so late, so he took off the blue coat covering the sawdust on his body, threw it into Father He's arms, and hurried into the shop and went straight to the kitchen.

"Weiwei! Weiwei, your father is back, let's cook." Hemu pushed open the kitchen door, and the heat from inside rushed to her face, and Hemu, who was already sweating from the heat, couldn't help but scream. Sneezed.

"Mom, take a break and drink some water. Seeing that you are hot, wait until the sweat is gone. I can handle it."

He Wei was stir-frying the beans and put some chili on it. No wonder He Mu would sneeze, but she was also afraid of catching a cold.

In this season, people sweat when they move, and feel cold when they calm down, which is the easiest way to catch a cold.

Hemu inspected it and saw that her daughter really had a few brushes, and there was something stewed in the electric pressure cooker, and the aroma had already come out.It seemed that the beer duck was roasting in the iron pot, because she saw two empty beer bottles in the corner, lifted the lid of the pot and looked, um, the juice had already started to collect, and it looked pretty good.The anxiety in my heart calmed down, and I said with relief: "Okay, Mom will wash your face first, and I will help you later."

Now that her daughter was able to handle it, He Mu was happy to enjoy the happiness for a while, went to the bathroom to wash her face, then drank a cup of cool water, and refilled some tea for the two men who were ordering goods outside the store before returning to the kitchen.

"Did you forget to cook the rice?"

"It's already cooked, it will be ready in about a quarter of an hour." He Wei glanced at the rice cooker and replied.

"Success! Then what else is there to do? Tell me, Mom will do it." He Mu smiled and stroked her sleeves, feeling good about helping her daughter.

He Wei thoughtfully said: "Mom, I really can do it, you can go outside and rest for a while, I'll call you to serve the food when it's done."

How could Hemu sit still? Naturally, she stayed in the small kitchen to help, even if she was watching her daughter stir fry with a spatula.

He Wei's estimate was quite accurate, and when several dishes were cooked one after another, He's father and the others just unloaded all the wood from the cargo compartment.

He Xidong left school at the meal time. Seeing the steaming dishes on the table, he took a deep breath and asked He Mu, "Mom, what ingredients did you put in the roast duck? It smells so good!"

He Mu slapped his hand that was about to break the duck's claws: "Go wash your hands first! This duck was roasted by your sister, and there were no ingredients, just two bottles of beer."

"Weiwei knows how to cook? She still cooks so well, with all the flavors and flavors!" Old Wu washed his hands and answered with a smile.

He Mu heard someone praise her daughter, not to mention how comfortable she was, but she still said politely: "Why, it's her first time to cook, and she used to help me choose vegetables and peel beans. It's not to your taste, old Wu, don't mind."

"How can I! It looks very appetizing!"

"Don't talk about it! My sister is quite talented in cooking. The taste of this beer duck is absolutely amazing!"

He Xidong washed his hands, poured wine for his father and Lao Wu, tore two duck thighs to serve them with wine, took advantage of the opportunity and gnawed on a duck paw, and slapped He Wei who came out with a winter melon cup thumb.

Hemu scolded him with a smile, and called everyone to the table to eat.

He Xidong picked up three bowls of rice in a row, and said to He Wei while belching, "Wei Wei, how can you be so virtuous, whoever marries you will make a lot of money in the future..."

The mother of the mother almost choked on the rice in her mouth, and slapped her son on the head angrily: "What are you talking about! Your sister is only a freshman in high school, and she will go to graduate school, PhD, and postdoctorate in the future, so what?" If you said earlier, what would you do if you were married or not, I couldn’t stop your mouth from eating.”

He Wei: "..." Hey mother!A while ago you were still talking about whether to marry or not.
