After rebirth and divorce, I took care of my children and became rich
Chapter 19 The village chief’s family visits
Zhen Hong moved the large dry water vat to the room where her father-in-law used to live. She wiped the entire vat with high-strength white wine and disinfected it thoroughly. She crushed all the grape grains with a clean wooden pestle. After filling the vat, she remembered the sugar. Not enough.I went to the small supermarket in the village to buy sugar. When I got home, I poured the grape juice in the bucket with the skins into the vat at a ratio of 100:15, leaving only the grape seeds at the bottom of the bucket and throwing them out into the basin.In the end, two large tanks were filled, which was estimated to weigh 300 kilograms, and the sugar alone weighed more than 40 kilograms.After loading, cover the mouth of the wine vat with clean gauze and tie it with a rope, and let it ferment on its own. Just press the cap and stir the vat every day.
It will take about 7-10 days to filter and undergo secondary fermentation.After 1-3 days of secondary fermentation, it can be bottled and sealed for storage, and delicious wine will be brewed. Of course, if you want a better taste, it can be aged for one or two years.In her previous life, Chen Hong went to other people's grape fields to pick missed grapes and make wine. Every year, she picked thirty or forty kilograms of grapes and produced more than ten kilograms of wine, which was enough to give to others and drink at home.
The grapes picked from the mountains this time are ripe, with high sugar content and good color. The wine produced will definitely be better!
Chen Hong cleaned the yard, collected the tea leaves that had been dried in the kitchen, and sealed them in bags.Seeing that about fifty kilograms of grape seeds had been harvested, Chen Hong started a fire in the firewood stove, fried the grape seeds and let them cool, then crushed them and kept them to fertilize the fruit trees. Rural people live with very little waste, and a lot of garbage can be fertilized.
Add salt and eggs to the basin and mix the noodles. I ate hand-rolled noodles for lunch today. My son loved it the most. It was smooth and chewy.After waking up from the noodles, Chen Hong went to the backyard to pick some cucumbers, tomatoes, onions and coriander, added water to the chickens and ducks, and saw some changes in the vegetable plot.Usually at noon, the leaves of vegetables will be a little wilted, but today they are very energetic. I hope it is the effect of space water!
I made dried shrimps mixed with cucumbers, and made tomato and egg marinade. Time was too tight this morning, so I ate something simple and took a nap to rest.After taking out the noodles and putting them on the table, Chen Hong stood outside the door and shouted: "Yu Yang, go home for dinner." After calling twice, she faintly heard the answer: "I know, I'll be back soon." Chen Hong just entered the room and set out the dishes. , Yu Yang rushed in, "Mom, I'm back." "Hurry up and wash your hands and eat. I made your favorite hand-made noodles. If it's too late, it will be lumpy."
After lunch, the couple took a shower and went to bed to take a nap.When Chen Hong got up, Yu Yang had already gone out to play with his friends. When he saw that it was 4 o'clock, he fell asleep a little confused.I got up, washed my face, picked up the keg and went to the dock. There happened to be a fishing boat docking. It was a villager named Wang from the village. "Brother Wang, how was your harvest today?" "Oh! It's just so-so. I only have 80 yuan left after using the gas money." "Whatever you have, I'll buy some for the kids." Chen Hong looked at Wang Lixin's Fish cabin: "Take some yellow fin fish to stew in soup. These three braised fishes are braised in mud and have few bones. Please weigh these for me!" After weighing, I paid 80 yuan and took the fish home.
I went to the backyard to add water to the chickens and ducks, and picked up the eggs. There were 14 eggs and 4 duck eggs. It seemed that the space water should have an effect.Go to the roof and collect the mushrooms, fungus, and day lilies. Tomorrow, when the weather is nice, let them dry for another day, and then you can collect them and seal them in bags.First, the fish was killed and marinated, and the rice was cooked in the rice cooker. Chen Hong took out all the tea leaves and weighed them. After sending about 20 kilograms of fresh leaves to Grandpa Yu Yang, Chen Hong fried them with about 100 kilograms of fresh tea. 23 kilograms of tea leaves were produced.After finding a sealed bag, Chen Hong weighed out 1 kilograms of tea, and also packed about 2 kilograms of oyster mushrooms and 3 kilogram of Polygonatum japonica. Chen Hong strolled to the village chief's house to visit.
Aunt Guo was cleaning shoes in the yard. When she saw Chen Hong coming in with a basket, she stood up and said, "How come you have time to come here? What are you talking about?" Chen Hong took the stool handed over by Aunt Guo and sat in the yard. Passing the basket to Aunt Guo: "Auntie, I picked these from the mountain yesterday and I didn't spend any money. You put them away." Aunt Guo saw what was in the basket, "These mushrooms are really nice, tender and big, they must be delicious." You also picked Polygonatum japonica, why did you bring it to my family again? It’s hard to find it in the wild, so you can keep it for the stewed chicken. And this tea, did you pick it in the mountains?" Aunt Guo looked at the things in the basket. Dongxi and Chen Hong were chattering.
"Bring it here and stew it for my uncle to eat. This time I found a piece, dug a lot, and kept it at home. I also picked a lot of tea leaves. I was afraid that they would be damaged. I fried them overnight last night. I It tastes good. I’ll bring some to your house and you can make it for your uncle to drink. It’s no worse than what’s sold in the supermarket.” Chen Hong said to Aunt Guo with a smile. "You have gone deep into the mountains. I heard your uncle say that there are some good tea trees deep in the mountains. He went to pick them twice when he was young and saw wolves there. No one in the village dared to go there. It’s so deep. You kid is too brave. You dare to go into the mountains alone. Don’t go there again. It’s too dangerous.”
"Okay, Auntie, don't worry, I won't go alone in the future. This time my legs are running faster, and I feel like I have gone a little further." "Chen Hong, how come I heard that your father-in-law has moved back to the old house?" What's going on? Are you and your father having a conflict?" Aunt Guo asked Chen Hong curiously. "Auntie, I just want to tell you this. If you don't ask, I don't know how to say it. This time Yu Hai comes back, we divorced, and we will be two families from now on. Give me the boat and the mountain If anything happens in the village from now on, just ask me to call my cell phone directly."
"Why did you get divorced? Why? I didn't hear any quarrel in your family, so why did you get divorced quietly? Didn't Yu Hai help you honestly when he came back this time? Which one of you mentioned it first?" Aunt Guo looked puzzled. "Aunt, it's Yu Haiti. He didn't want to have sex with me, so I agreed. Anyway, with or without him, I live the same life as a child. I don't want to make a fuss and make the family uncomfortable, so I go and deal with him. I got divorced." "Oh, you child, is it the same with a man and without a man? Why didn't you tell us that such a big thing happened? Is Yu Hai having an affair outside? No wonder these two years I rarely come back, and your uncle and I were talking about how busy we can be? We don’t even come back home."
The more Aunt Guo spoke, the angrier she became, "What did your father-in-law say? Just let him make trouble and ignore him? Why didn't your father-in-law come and tell us? Your uncle and I might as well go and persuade Yu Hai. The child is already so old and he is still making trouble." What kind of divorce?" Chen Hong said calmly: "You can persuade people, but you can't persuade them. Aunt, don't be angry, you can't do it. I see that Yu Hai's heart is no longer with this family, why am I still clinging to him? Besides, he has someone outside. , when I don’t know, it’s better to say, I know, no matter how I look at him, I feel dirty, and I feel sick when I see him. Leave me, and I will be liberated after leaving. At least I feel comfortable and not blocked. Panic."
Aunt Guo was very sad when she heard this: "You kid, you kid, aren't you abusing yourself? Does your family know? What a good girl you were when you followed Yu Hai to this poor place like ours. She was not afraid of hardship or tiredness. You can do any kind of work outside. Your uncle and I even said that he found a good wife like you from the ancestral graves of the Yu family. I don’t know about others. How can there be anyone in the nearby villages who is as sensible and capable as you? His little daughter-in-law? Yu Hai has really committed a big sin! He married you so far away and left you here. This naughty kid, if he had known earlier, your uncle could have broken his legs!"
"Auntie, don't be angry. I've put this matter aside. I'm still living here after taking care of my children. I've been here for six or seven years. I have a lot of affection for the people here. The people in the street are very supportive of me. Okay. I don’t want to take the child back to my parents’ home and let him be criticized at a young age. If he stays here, except that Yu Hai will no longer go home, there won’t be much change. If you, uncle and aunt, like me, From now on, treat me as your own daughter-in-law, and our two families will still interact with each other as before. Don’t treat me like an outsider just because of the divorce."
"What are you kidding about? To be honest, the time I spend with my daughter-in-law is not as much as the time I spend with you. I always feel close to you. Yu Hai's family also has a cousin relationship. He has always been If you don't have a home, your relationship with him is far different from yours." Aunt Guo became more and more excited as she spoke, wishing she could recognize Chen Hong as her daughter now.
"You can live here with peace of mind. If someone bullies you, tell your uncle and ask him to support you. In fact, since you got married, my family is like having an extra daughter. If your brother is not at home during the National Day, everything will be your fault. I helped you run before and after running, and whatever rare food you had, was brought to us as an old couple. It’s good not to leave. We will have a good life in the future. If you are too busy, just say it and your uncle and I will help you. You want I really can’t bear to leave.”
Chen Hong's nose felt sour and she almost shed tears.The cousins have always been very kind to her, almost treating her like a daughter.In her previous life, she met Wang Guoqing in Jinan after her divorce. Brother Guoqing told her that Aunt Guo had always cared about her. When she died, she told Brother Guoqing to help her if he could meet her!I often talk about her, but I don’t know how I am doing with my children!
Chen Hong's life was unsatisfactory after her divorce in her previous life. She gave birth to a second child and was too embarrassed to return to Rongcheng.She has never seen her cousin, his wife, and the villagers in Yujia Village since he left. When he started over in this life, Chen Hong found that his feelings for them were deeper than he thought.
After chatting for a while and seeing that it was already late, Chen Hong and Aunt Guo said goodbye and went home.
At Aunt Guo's house, Chen Hong had just left for a while when the village chief returned home. "Who is here this afternoon? Who gave this to me?" The village chief saw what was on the table. "Hey, isn't this Polygonatum japonica? Good stuff, it looks like it is quite old! This tea is really good. Is it roasted at home?" I’ve given you so much, it’s two kilograms, and I can drink it for a while!” The village chief asked his wife while looking through the things on the table.
"Who could it be? Chen Hong sent it, who else gave it to you? She went up to the mountain to pick it yesterday, and the tea leaves were roasted overnight. You said how much one person could pick, and I brought you so much!" The village chief nodded, " I guess it might be her. This child is really good. If she has any good things, she will give them to our family." Aunt Guo said angrily to the village chief: "Have you seen Yu Zhaohua come these days? Yu Hai and Chen Hong are divorced. do you know?"
"What are you talking about? Yu Hai and Chen Hong are divorced? I don't know. I haven't seen Mr. Yu Hai since I picked pears that day! Tell me, what's going on? Who told you about them? Divorced?" The village chief looked in disbelief.
So Aunt Guo told the village chief exactly what Chen Hong came to tell her.The village chief frowned and pondered for a while before saying: "What do you think Yu Hai did? He left everything in the house to Chen Hong. He was messing around outside. He is really not a human being. No wonder I heard about Yu Hai yesterday. Zhaohua moved to the old house. I was still wondering. Chen Hong is not the kind of person who likes to make trouble. The two of them have never seen a red face. What happened? This is right. It seems that it is. Really divorced.”
It will take about 7-10 days to filter and undergo secondary fermentation.After 1-3 days of secondary fermentation, it can be bottled and sealed for storage, and delicious wine will be brewed. Of course, if you want a better taste, it can be aged for one or two years.In her previous life, Chen Hong went to other people's grape fields to pick missed grapes and make wine.
