Chapter 384 A house full of children is not as good as a couple halfway through
People, just having money is not enough, you also need to have a good body. This is the most important thing for a happy life.
She wishes her elders good health, happiness and longevity.
Early the next morning, before Chen Hong got up, there was a crackling sound from downstairs.
Chen Hong quickly got up and looked at her phone. Alas! It's only five o'clock! It must be her mother making breakfast!
Now that she was awake, she couldn't fall back asleep, so Chen Hong had no choice but to get up. When she went downstairs and took a look, she guessed right. It was indeed her mother making breakfast in the kitchen.
"Mom, why are you up so early? Why don't you sleep more? Are you unable to sleep in another place?"
Chen Hong’s mother was making noodles, “Your dad and brother both loved the seaweed buns last night, so I’m thinking of making some more for your dad to take.
They can eat it by heating it up at the construction site at noon. It doesn't matter if they don't have food to eat. They can just boil a kettle of water to make a meal. "
Chen Hong could not help but feel sorry for her father: "It's not like we don't have the conditions at home. You usually braise more beef and pig heads, and bring two pieces to my father when you go to the construction site.
He does hard work, how can he do it without oil and water at such an old age? If you can't even eat well, can you work energetically?
Mom, you have to understand that you rely on my dad for food. My brother still has two children to raise, and he doesn't have the ability to support you in your old age.
If you don't take good care of my dad, no one will make money for you.
Didn't I buy two large thermos barrels for my family last time? Since you got up early, fry two vegetables for my dad to put in them.
If you eat well and are in good health, my father can earn you two more years of money. Otherwise, it will not be long-term for you to expect your children.
Don’t you often say that a house full of children is not as good as a couple halfway through? Besides, my dad and you are still the original couple!
Your son is loved by your daughter-in-law. The three of us brothers and sisters are all married, so my dad relies on you for his love.
Don't lose your temper when you get old. At this age, you still can't tell who is close to whom.
From now on, the pressure cooker at home cannot be left empty, stew beef, stew pork ribs, stew fish, pork head, etc.
A pot of meat only costs a hundred yuan at most, and if you add some fried vegetables, it's enough for two or three days.
If you eat good food, it is nutritious and not wasted. If my father eats well, he can still give you a few more years to grind. "
Regardless of how dark her mother's face was, Chen Hong chatted with her mother while helping to adjust the stuffing for the buns, "Mom, these seaweed buns are delicious, but eating too much seaweed is not easy to digest.
I mixed some more shepherd's purse and pork stuffing, and when my dad goes to the construction site later, I will bring him some more shepherd's purse and pork buns.
I heated up the braised beef again, cut it into slices later, and brought some to my dad in an insulated lunch box. "
Chen Hong's mother was annoyed by her eldest daughter's nagging, and she said angrily: "I've been taking care of your dad my whole life, why haven't you been considerate yet?
Pack the beef in convenient bags. Your dad only brought back an insulated bucket, and the steamed buns would be full. "
Chen Hong: "If you put beef in a convenient bag, won't it be cold by noon? My dad will definitely feel uncomfortable in his stomach after eating it.
Mom, there is a new insulated lunch box in the cupboard above your head. The one has a large capacity. Add fried vegetables and put beef slices on top.
If you want to eat healthily, you must have meat and vegetables, and pay attention to the mix of meat and vegetables! "
Chen Hong's mother and daughter were quarreling while busy preparing the family's breakfast in the kitchen. Chen Hong's mother felt so mixed that she couldn't tell what she was feeling.
Although the eldest daughter often talks back to her, as long as she is at home, she will not let her work alone in the kitchen.
My daughter-in-law loves to sleep in with her children in her arms, and she never enters the kitchen unless she is called.
The little girl is not good at kitchen work, and everything she does is slow and annoying.
Since the two girls got married, the kitchen at home became hers alone. What can she do without making a big pot of food?
She didn't dare to say this to her eldest daughter. Xiaohong had a straight temper and would definitely beat her and her daughter-in-law up if she knew this.
Offending people in vain will not change anything. As a married daughter, how could she interfere in her mother's family's housework?
Why! Chen Hong's mother sighed, fortunately, the days were becoming more and more comfortable. The daughter-in-law rarely quarrels with her son, and she and her husband rarely get angry.
Just do more by yourself! Who allowed him to find such a powerful daughter-in-law?
…………
Chen Hong's father got up at half past five.
The old man got up and called his son. The two of them had breakfast and then went out to work.
Yu Yang gets up at six o'clock and goes for a run in the community. After running back, I punched Junti boxing all over the courtyard.
At half past seven, Chen Hong's sister-in-law and her two children also finished washing. The three women and their children had breakfast together.
After dinner, Chen Hong went to send Yu Yang to class.
When Chen Hong came back from sending her children off, she found that her mother and her sister-in-law were taking their children to plant vegetables in the backyard.
"Xiao Hong, you can't remove the plastic sheet from this shed yet. Let's plant another crop of chrysanthemum, Chinese cabbage, rapeseed and coriander.
I see that the parsley you planted years ago is almost finished. Find out the seeds and replant some more. This kind of celery is quite delicious when I eat it!
Just plant these four plots of green vegetables, leaving an empty shed to raise vegetable seedlings.
It’s time to raise seedlings for cucumbers, peppers, persimmons, eggplants, and okra. By the way, Xiaohong, the green tender pods you sent during the Chinese New Year are quite delicious.
Is it called Pea or something? If you have seeds, plant a small piece of land! The vegetable pods are delicious when stir-fried with meat, and the bean sprouts are also delicious when stir-fried without meat.
Our family has never eaten it before. Didn’t you say it’s a southern variety?
Is it okay to plant it now? If possible, order more varieties. That dish is quite rare here. "
"Okay, those are peas. When you are young, you can eat the sprouts. When you grow up, you can eat the tips. When the pods form, you can fry the tender pods. When they grow up, you can fry the peas. When the seeds are mature, you can grind them into pea powder. It can be made in summer. Eaten with jelly, it tastes very special and very delicious.
I'll take out all the seeds and let's watch them grow! If you like to eat, eat more of it, and if you like it, eat less.
By the way, it’s time to cut the leeks again. Let’s cut some leeks at noon. Do you want to eat dumplings stuffed with leek or leek pie?
This spinach should be plucked out and eaten quickly. If you don't eat it, it will be out of season. It will bloom soon and become as unpalatable as a tree when it gets old. "
Chen Hongniang and her two children planted vegetables all morning.
After all the vegetable seedlings were raised, Chen Hong’s mother saw a nutrient bowl for raising vegetable seedlings for the first time.
Chen Hong didn't have time to buy special paper cups, so she could only use sterilized disposable paper cups as the bowl body, mix soil, insecticide powder and organic fertilizer to prepare nutritious soil.
Fill each nutrient bowl with 70% of nutrient soil, put two seeds, and arrange various vegetables that need seedlings according to different varieties on a piece of land measuring one and a half meters by two meters.
Finally, cover with a thin layer of topsoil, use a watering can to sprinkle water throughout the space, seal the shed, and the seedling raising work is completed.
Chen Hong's mother was cutting leeks nearby. She was disgusted by Chen Hong's work: "It's such a waste. Doesn't paper cups cost money? Do the math, a paper cup costs five cents!"
We have been planting seeds all our lives, sowing seeds directly into the ground. It saves trouble. Don’t the vegetable seedlings still grow strong?
You just make a fool of yourself. You have two dollars to burn. You have to waste such a good paper cup to raise vegetable seedlings. It costs money and trouble. If you plant it the old way, you will have finished planting it long ago. "
Chen Hong: "So you have never made a fortune in your whole life, and don't say I am wasting money. Just look at the vegetables I grow and tell me if they are good or not?"
