Chapter 368 New Year’s Eve Dinner (2)
Su Xiu lay on the kang, crying so sadly.

She hated so many people, but she never thought that everything today was chosen by herself, and no one forced her.

When the Zhao family reported that they were going to divorce, she even ran to the door and hanged herself!
Since I wanted to marry so much, now I regret it.She thought it was Xiaowa who was playing house, so she could leave if she wanted to, or quit if she wanted to?

Zhao Xiujie came out from another room, and as soon as he walked under the eaves, he heard faint crying from his sister-in-law's room.

It happened that Mrs. Zhao came over with a dustpan, Zhao Xiujie pointed at Su Xiu's window and said to his mother, "Why are you crying again, we don't celebrate the new year?"

Mrs. Zhao heard it too, and ran over to knock on the window, "Just now I said I fell down, and now I'm crying again, Su Xiu, Su Xiu, I think you have intentions to curse our family for a bad next year, right?"

Su Xiu's crying stopped abruptly, "I just fell in pain, and I couldn't hold it back for a while."

Mrs. Zhao scolded her with a gloomy face, "I'm really going to be mad at you. If I go out properly, I can still fall, and I fall so hard. Don't you even look at the road when you walk? That's fine, don't stay indoors either. Stay here, there is a lot of work in the kitchen, come out and clean up the fish for me."

Mrs. Zhao turned around and saw that Zhao Xiujie looked like he was enjoying the show, and he didn't call anywhere, "You don't hurry to find your brother, it's too late to go to town now, why don't you go to Lin Fugui's house Borrow his donkey and drive the donkey cart, no matter what, you have to get your brother back to me, if you don’t go home during the Chinese New Year, what does it look like.”

"There are still horses in the village, borrow one, how fast it will be," Zhao Xiujie muttered in a low voice.

"What are you talking about? What horse?"

"Uh, it's nothing, I went to borrow a donkey cart, and I won't be able to eat lunch, do you have buns?" He didn't dare to mention Mu's house in front of Su Xiu and his mother.Without a horse, even with a donkey, it was much better than running on two legs.

"There are no steamed buns. There are two cold steamed buns in the kitchen. You can take them with you. Come back earlier and wait for your New Year's Eve dinner," Zhao said with a sigh.

Zhao Xiujie went to look for steamed buns dejectedly, and as the saying goes, something is better than nothing.

If you say that his big brother is real, he doesn't come back after the New Year's Eve, he just hides in the town and hides for a while, is it possible that he can hide for a lifetime?

Su Xiu heard that Zhao Xiujie had gone out, washed her face in the room before coming out.

Seeing the big carp alive and kicking in the big wooden basin at the door of the kitchen, she didn't want to do it for a long time.

What's the weather like?
In the morning, the pond was frozen, with a thick layer.When I put my hand into the water, it was red and painful from the cold.

Mrs. Zhao prepared cured goods, a piece of bacon, half a salted chicken, and a face like a salted pig's head.

Scoop out the soup in the pot and put it in a basin, ready to put the noodles in tomorrow morning, and put them in as oil.

Inadvertently saw Su Xiu folded her hands, standing there, only staring at the fish, motionless.

The original anger has not gone down, and the new anger has risen again.

"Why are you standing there stupidly? If you don't hurry up, grab a kitchen knife and scrape off the scales of the fish before dissection!" Zhao yelled at her unbearably.She is very busy here, but her daughter-in-law here is fine, standing with her sleeves folded and watching, you say it is annoying or not.

"I'm here, I'm here!" Su Xiu was overwhelmed by this moment, her temper also came up, and she reluctantly went into the kitchen to get a kitchen knife.

When Mrs. Zhao heard her complaining tone, she was in a bad mood and was on the verge of getting angry.If it wasn't for the fact that today is the Chinese New Year and we can't quarrel, she would have slapped her in the morning.

She endured it hard, but Su Xiu seemed to think it wasn't exciting enough.Facing the fish, I started to pick it up.

"Where do you cut such a fat fish? How do you scrape the scales?"

When I was in my natal family, these jobs were all done by her mother.

Because in Chen Mei'e's opinion, her daughter is going to marry a rich family, and she will be served by maids at home or when she goes out.

Those menial jobs, which round can she do.Since you are going to marry a rich family, you can't do rough work all the time, you have to be like the ladies in the city, just embroidering and needlework all day long.

Su Xiu wanted to reach out to catch the fish, but the fish was very slippery. She struggled for a long time, imitating her mother's way of catching fish before, getting all over the water, and finally caught the fish out.

But this fish is alive, it will still jump around when lying on the ground.

"Ah, this fish is so strong, mother, mother, come quickly, I can't catch it alone!"

Mrs. Zhao threw the iron spoon in her hand in resentment, and stomped out.He grabbed the kitchen knife, slapped the head of the fish twice, and the fish immediately stopped moving.

After knocking the fish, she threw the knife to Su Xiu again without saying a word, and turned to go into the kitchen.

Su Xiu was stunned for a moment, so that's it?
What she didn't know was that Mrs. Zhao didn't knock the fish to death, but knocked the fish unconscious.

Looking at the huge fish, Su Xiu held the knife, bit it secretly, and began to scrape the fish scales.

The fish scales must be reversed and scraped from bottom to top.

To Muxiang and Caiyun, this job was nothing at all, but to Su Xiu, it was difficult.

A maid's life must be raised by a young lady, and Chen Mei'e is doing her harm by doing so.

After all, Mrs. Zhao was worried. When she was working in the kitchen, she ran out from time to time to look at the fish that she ate at night!But it can't be broken.

But when she stretched her head to see, Su Xiu scraped the scales of the fish, even the flesh of the fish was scraped off, and she raised her knife to stomp the tail of the fish.

"Stop, you can't stomp this one," Mrs. Zhao rushed out screaming, snatched the kitchen knife from her hand, and opened her mouth to curse, "Are you a coward, or what, can this fish tail be stomped? New Year's Eve dinner Fish, there must be a head and a tail, you don’t even know this, I really don’t know, what your mother taught you all day long!”

Su Xiu was also a little angry, she stood up and went out without washing her hands.

Behind her, Mrs. Zhao was still muttering, just like an old nun chanting scriptures, annoying.

Su Xiu covered her ears, lowered her head sullenly, and ran to the door of Li's house regardless of the strange eyes of the villagers.

Chen Mei'e is also busy in the kitchen at this moment, so she heard Li Yuanbao pointing to the gate and saying to her, "Mother, the elder sister is back!"
