take a wife to support the family

Chapter 356 Boiled Edamame in Salt Water

Lily and Yingchun knew exactly what kind of person Mrs. Zhu was. She was his own mother, and if he wanted to respect her and take care of her, he had to guard against her, lest she accidentally fill the hole with her daughter and use it as a stepping stone for her son.

Yingchun doesn't like to talk, Lily smiled and said: "Don't worry, we have a plan in our hearts."

People say that brothers settle accounts clearly, and so do sisters and brothers. It is only natural for a sister to help a brother, but if she uses her own wealth to fill in a brother's hole, don't say that her husband's family will not agree, even if the woman herself is not a smart person.

Qingsong has always been sensible and knows how to love his elder sisters. The three sisters treat him well. When he builds a house and gets married, they will naturally help him a lot.But this is the friendship between them, the Zhu family cannot be taken for granted, the three sisters owe Qingsong something.

The brothers and sisters made up their minds, no matter what Zhu said, they couldn't let go.

Mrs. Zhu is a person who can't live without things. Before long, when it was time to eat, he opened his mouth and said to Lily: "You are also considered rich. Your brother wants to repair the house, and you don't want to pay for it?"

Before Baihe could speak, Qingsong hurriedly said: "Mother, this is my house, what kind of money do you want elder sister to pay?"

Mrs. Zhu glared at Qingsong, this child has nothing at all, he only has a lot of money, and every penny he can save is a penny, his eldest sister has all the money, she must knock out some.

Lily picked up a piece of dried bamboo shoots and chewed them slowly, making Mrs. Zhu wait anxiously, and then said: "I know what mother means, my brother is building a house, so I should help. I will give Qingsong some money later. People who come to help eat from here."

Who can I send my usual money to?Zhu looked at her cheeks and said: "It is said that the richer you are, the more greedy you are. Now that you have money, why are you not as good as before?"

Bai He sneered: "Is my money given by my parents? The old sparrow carried it?" She glanced at Song Haonian, "It's all money from her husband's family. If you leave me as a prince, I won't be able to find a daughter-in-law?"

The two of them, the young couple, have a tacit understanding, but if Zhu's side is a monster, Lily will tell her that Niu's side is a monster, so naturally Song Haonian is against it, even if Princess Zhou wants to make things difficult for Lily, Song Haonian will be there to protect her ahead.

At this moment, no matter what Mrs. Zhu said, Baihe insisted that it was the property bestowed by Prince Xin's Mansion, and she couldn't touch a single penny. Song Haonian didn't intervene, and patiently fed his son the stewed old hen soup with dried bamboo shoots.

Mrs. Zhu couldn't talk about Lily, and she was a little annoyed: "He is a white-eyed wolf who recognizes money but does not recognize people. I really gave birth to a child in vain."

Lily didn't move her eyebrows, and she asked Carpenter Li after the meal: "Father, it's better to walk from the town if you want to leave the ceremony. Would you like to stay at my house for a few days?"

Mrs. Zhu yelled anxiously, "I'm going too!"

Lily ignored her, Zhu Shi was a little flustered, and felt that the eldest daughter was becoming more and more dignified day by day, so she hurriedly laughed and said: "I can also be used for the ceremony, I will go with your father."

Since Yingchun hanged herself once, her voice is no longer delicate and tender, and it is still a little hoarse. She usually doesn't like to talk, and her mouth is as sharp as a knife: "I dare not take you to live, I'm afraid you will empty my elder sister's family property and want to make up for it." Green pine."

In a word, Mrs. Zhu was embarrassed, Qingsong blushed, and Lily said: "In theory, parents have to go. Since it is convenient for the town, I will go to the town for a few days. It happens that Qingsong demolished the house so that the house can be repaired."

The terrain of Liushan Village is not flat, and the land is limited. There is no room for their family to repair the house, so they have to demolish it first and then repair it.

Now Mrs. Zhu was satisfied, and said with a smile, "I'll take you to Zhenzhen."

Lily said smoothly: "Have you brought Tingyu with you?"

Mrs. Zhu curled her lips and said: "A girl doll, what can I take with me? I just take us to Ruzhen, and when Qingsong's wife comes in, she will give birth to a big fat boy. If I hold Tingyu, I'm afraid it will ruin Fengshui."

Aunt Wang did not dislike Tingyu as a girl, but Lily was so angry that she, a grandmother, talked like this, but she couldn't understand the reasoning with such a fool, so she had to let her go.

Anyway, Lamei and Aunt Wang were a family in the future, and the married daughter splashed water, and Zhu's family treated the daughter as a weed, so naturally others regarded it as a treasure.

In the afternoon, Song Haonian's family went down the mountain to go home, before leaving, Mrs. Zhu shook Ruzhen's little hand and said: "You are so good, grandma will visit you tomorrow."

Qingsong sent the eldest brother-in-law, the family and the second sister to the entrance of the village, and said embarrassingly: "My mother is like that, don't take it to heart."

Lily shook her head: "I don't know her yet? You will have to work hard after you marry a wife."

The family went down the mountain happily, Yingchun conveniently pulled Ma Lian and morning glory to weave a garland for Ruzhen to wear, and Ruzhen jumped with joy in Song Haonian's arms.A rabbit ran by the side of the road, he yelled, his eyes widened.

Song Haonian said: "I'll catch rabbits for you tomorrow."

In the past, Lily raised a few hares, and also gave them to Xing'er. Later, they were raised and fattened up and sold to others, and the family never raised them again.

Before going down the mountain, Yingchun saw a man in a water-red shirt far down the mountain, standing there waving at them, she smiled and said: "Xing'er went to visit relatives two days ago, and this is just back."

Lily took a look, "She was only a little bit tall when I left, why is she so tall now."

"The little baby grows up fast, and she's grown a head this year." While talking, she reached the foot of the mountain, and sure enough, the person looked like Xing'er, and she rushed up and hugged Lily's waist like an arrow: "Auntie, you It can be counted back!"

Lily almost took a step backwards from her charge, managed to stabilize her body, rubbed her head with a smile and said, "I said I'm coming back, now you can believe it. What are you doing here?"

Before going to Beijing the first year, Xing'er was most reluctant to part with Lily, crying until her eyes were swollen like peaches, but she couldn't keep her aunt.She leaned against Lily and said sweetly: "Uncle Da Nian, Aunt Ying Chun, Aunt Ying Chun, the edamame has been cooked at home, and I will wait for you to go back and have wine."

At this time, the edamame is tender and the wine tastes the best, Song Haonian said with a smile: "Okay, then let's go directly to your house."

Xing'er stood on tiptoe again to look at the truth, "Call me sister, do you recognize me?"

Ruzhen didn't know Xing'er, but she didn't recognize her, she giggled at her, Xing'er made faces at him.

Afternoon was not as hot as noon, Lily's body was not heavy yet, and she walked lightly. She even asked Xing'er, "I will give you homework when I leave, have you done it?"

Xing'er said: "As you said, I learn to read and count every day, and I never fall behind. Now my mother can't count on me."

Lily was very happy: "I just brought back a few books, and I will read them to you later. Tomorrow, I will separate out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and we will also use rice paper to practice calligraphy in the future."

Xing'er took Lily's hand and walked forward, greeted people along the way, and said happily to them: "My uncle and Aunt Lily are back!"

The people in the town knew about it earlier than she did. Seeing Song Haonian and Baihe with an inexplicable demeanor, they were still willing to greet them as usual, asking if they had dinner and how the family was doing. Said: "Such a person should be a nobleman. Those who have a little promise but have their nostrils upturned, no wonder they can't even pass the exam as a scholar, so they can only be a child."

Because there were many acquaintances along the way, they greeted each other slowly, and when they arrived at Liu Yi's house, the sun had already set, but it was still bright.

With the light of the sky, Song Haonian saw that Liu Yi's house had also been renovated, and the newly built gate was very beautiful, probably Liu Sanping's handicraft.

Heizi was lying at the door panting, and when he saw someone coming, he jumped up and took a sniff. He still remembered the smell, and quickly wagged his tail at the couple.

Xing'er shouted: "Father, I'll bring Uncle and Aunt back!"

Before Song Haonian entered the door, he saw Liu Yi hurried out with a large group of brothers, coaxing his eyes, not knowing whether to call him Master or Da Nian.

Song Haonian stepped forward and took Liu Yi's hand: "Brother, I'm coming back."

Liu Yi was shocked, "Da Nian, you are finally back." Hurriedly welcoming them in with his brothers, he saw Lily supporting his waist, which was a bit thick, and Liu Yi couldn't help but enviously said: "Successful!" You, this will let the siblings have again!"

The men talked a lot when they met, here Li Caifeng and others were both happy and sad when they saw Lily, they hugged their heads and cried, sitting together and talking.

Li Caifeng put a cushion on the back of Lily's waist: "You have a body, it will be more comfortable after a while."

She couldn't hide the envy in her eyes, and Baihe couldn't help thinking, after more than a year, Sister Caifeng hasn't conceived yet?
It turned out that at noon Liu Yi called his brothers over, saying that everyone would get together, Da Guisao and others would help Li Caifeng with cooking. After a while, Wen Wa's parents brought a large basket of fresh edamame and said, "This new The edamame that came down, everyone is cooking the next wine, it is also our heart."

Xu Caiwen went to the capital to see the world, thanks to Song Haonian taking care of him all the way, Wenwa's parents are naturally grateful.

Cut off the two ends of the pods of edamame, wash them in cold water, cook them with star anise, cinnamon and other seasonings, add some alkali and oil to the water, open the lid and turn yellow, add salt and cooking wine to taste, fish As soon as you taste it, there is a fresh and fragrant bean fragrance.

Soak the edamame in a basin for half a day. By the time Song Haonian came, the edamame was already cold and full of flavor. The men ate a few mouthfuls of rice to fill their stomachs, and then they took out the wine and peeled the edamame while eating.

Lily Hey Ruzhen had eaten, let Xing'er take him to play, talk to sisters-in-law and sisters by herself, and also had a bowl of fragrant edamame to eat.The women have rice wine on the table, and Lily can't eat wine during pregnancy, she only eats rose dew.

Lily tasted the usual taste of rose dew, and said with a smile: "You guys managed it well for me. Once I go there for a year, I will leave a lot of things behind. Thanks to you, I would like to offer you a toast."

Li Caifeng said with a smile: "It's easy for you to be filial to me, and bring me the blessing of having a son."

Lily raised her eyebrows on purpose and said, "Listen, you're going to use me as your mother-in-law!"

"Since you are a concubine, what can you do as a concubine?" Li Caifeng was the fastest, making everyone laugh.

Mrs. Dagui, Second Sister Song and others saw that she was still the same as before, and gradually got rid of the strangeness in their hearts, and they became intimate again as usual, and urged Lily to tell her what they had learned in the capital: "How much is written in the letter, we want to listen to you." .”

Lily took a sip of rose dew to moisten her throat, and then she spoke in detail, and all the women were amazed.
