farm daughter-in-law

Chapter 12

Just adding some water to make crucian carp soup can't appreciate the deliciousness of crucian carp, but adding papaya is not the same.The delicious taste makes people want to swallow their tongues.

There are many drought-resistant plants such as papaya in this area. Every household has planted a few trees, and some wild ones, but the wild ones will be picked very early, and the fruits cannot be waited for to grow.And a tree bears a bunch of fruits. When the year is good, you will feel bored if you eat too much.

Zhang Xihua fried the fish on both sides for a while. When the fish skin was browned, he poured a few ladles of water into it, put ginger slices in it, and dripped a few drops of rice wine to remove the fishy smell. The fire boiled for about a quarter of an hour, and then the papaya was served. go.

This crucian carp weighed less than a catty, and it seemed very bland after adding so much water. After the papaya was put into the pot, it quickly filled the pot.She covered the pot and simmered slowly over medium heat.

Dinner was relatively late today, and when He Dashuan and He Sheng came back, it was already dark for a long time.He Yuanyuan couldn't bear the hunger, and had already drank two large bowls of crucian carp soup.

It was dark, so He Zeng asked to light an oil lamp for lighting.

After a busy day, a family of five sat in the main room to eat.Zhang Xihua made everyone a bowl of soup first, and He Dashuan felt his appetite whetted just by smelling the soup. What's more, they were already hungry, and they drank up a bowl of soup like water in a few strokes.

Seeing this, Zhang Xihua had no choice but to say: "Father, please slow down, there are fishbone in this soup, carefully stuck your throat."

He Zeng said: "Daughter-in-law is right, you should be more careful."

He Dashuan didn't express any displeasure after being told all about it, and took the initiative to make himself a bowl of soup. The papaya was stewed so rotten that it melted in his mouth, which was especially to his liking.

Even though He Yuanyuan had already drank a few bowls of soup, he still couldn't stop talking now, and couldn't help but take a sip and said, "Sister-in-law, your way of stewing soup is so delicious. It's thanks to you how you came up with it."

"If Yuanyuan wants to learn, my sister-in-law will teach you anytime." Zhang Xihua smiled and saw that her husband had finished drinking, took the bowl from him and made another bowl of soup, and said, "Be careful too." Some crucian carp bones."

He Sheng nodded, and sadly picked up some food for himself.

Most of the peasant households are poor, and they eat coarse grains. The few recipes are nothing more than steamed buns, thick noodle pancakes, sweet potato porridge and rice, etc. These days, they only want to fill their stomachs, but they don’t have the heart to study how to make food well. eat.

Poor people, if the food they make is so delicious, they only need to eat one pancake, but it is easy to eat a few more, so what food is left at home?Anyway, whether it is delicious or not is just a matter of filling the stomach. Most peasant women just cook it.

Zhang Xihua helped her parents with things since she was a child. She not only had to do farm work and housework, but also took care of her younger siblings. The younger siblings often cried and made trouble when they were young. She took great pains to coax them.As long as Zhang Xihua tells who doesn't cry, he promises to eat whatever he wants, and the siblings will be obedient.

Married to the He family, Zhang Xihua has never visited her natal family, and I don't know if the second sister has taken good care of her siblings. Are they hungry?How are your parents?
Even though they had only been separated for ten days or so, she felt as though many years had passed.Her husband's family didn't mention it, and she couldn't take the initiative to ask to go home and have a look.

Their daughter who is married here returns home for the first time, and if her husband is with her, it will be a matter of appearance.I don't know if He Sheng will accompany her back home.

But in the current situation, Zhang Xihua is so busy every day, Zhang Xihua has no selfish intention to ask her husband to accompany her back to her mother's house.

For a dinner, everyone had a good time.After Zhang Xihua washed the dishes and cleaned the stove, the rest of the family took a shower, sat in the yard for a while, and went back to sleep when they were cool.

When Zhang Xihua tidied herself up, He Sheng was already lying on the bed.Habits are indeed a terrible thing. He used to fall asleep every day, but now his daughter-in-law didn't come to bed, so he couldn't fall asleep repeatedly.

The mosquito net was open, and although the room had been fumigated with wormwood in the evening, Zhang Xihua was still worried about mosquito bites and waking her husband, so she could only use a fan to drive away the mosquitoes carefully, even though He Sheng didn't like to close the mosquito net To sleep, she still put down the mosquito net.

Mosquito bites easily spread disease.This is basic common sense, especially now that the weather is muggy, things are moldy, and a lot of bacteria are growing, and diseases are more likely to spread.

After doing all this, Zhang Xihua lay down on the outside.

She thought she didn't wake up her husband by doing these actions, but she didn't know that He Sheng just closed his eyes and didn't sleep.When the person next to him lay down, He Sheng felt a little disturbed.

When Zhang Xihua was caught off guard, he suddenly rolled over and fell on the opponent.

Startled by He Sheng's actions, Zhang Xihua's whole body and limbs became stiff.Mood ups and downs for no reason...

Afterwards, He Sheng didn't do anything else, he just buried his head on his wife's neck and took a deep breath.Women have a kind of body fragrance that he can't smell, it's very light, and he smells very comfortable.

The air was quiet, and after a period of stalemate, he moved off from Zhang Xihua's body.

He Sheng said, "Go to sleep."
