The happy little days of the Ye family

The daughter-in-law's mother-in-law has a visitor, and Ye's mother plans to cook a few more hard dishes to entertain them.

After all, the Wang family is very generous. Ever since she found out that Wang Chunyu was pregnant, Wang Lixia has been running to the Ye family frequently, delivering all kinds of food as if it were free of charge.

This time, 6 plump little hens were sent over, as well as a large basket of eggs, dozens of them.

There is also that big bag of clothes. Although half of them are old, who hasn’t worn old clothes when they were young?

Old Mrs. Ye is very stingy, but she is still very generous to her family.

Then I went to the chicken pen in the backyard and caught a big rooster. It was quite fat, weighing more than 4 pounds.

Mother Ye looked at the big rooster and already thought of several ways to do it.

The chicken is divided into two parts, one half is used to stew potatoes and dried beans, the other half is used to make soup, and the chicken offal is used to stir-fry cabbage.

Let’s have one chicken and three meals. Mother Ye has arranged it clearly.

Old Mrs. Ye killed the chickens and removed their feathers quickly, much faster than Ye Qingqing.

Yesterday, Tang Xiaojing brought over a lot of lotus roots, and Ye Mu planned to make lotus root chicken soup and vinegar-coated lotus root slices.

Ye Qingqing was sent by Ye Mu to peel the lotus roots.

There were several large grass carps in the backyard pond. Ye Mu fished out the biggest one and made pickled fish for lunch.

I saw winter bamboo shoots in the corner, so I could make stir-fried bacon with winter bamboo shoots, plus a boiled chrysanthemum, and it was almost ready.

There are six dishes and one soup, and most of them are meat dishes, which is better than what many people eat during the Chinese New Year.

Ye's mother was in charge of cooking, and the other two were in charge of helping. The grandfather and grandson divided the labor and cooperated. Various aromas soon came from the kitchen.

Chicken lotus root soup, chicken stewed with potatoes and dried beans, stir-fried chicken with mixed cabbage, pickled fish, stir-fried winter bamboo shoots with bacon, vinegar lotus root slices and boiled chrysanthemum.

Li and Wang Lixia were very happy to see that the Ye family had a very rich lunch today.

It's not that they are greedy, the richer the meal is, the more the Ye family values ​​Wang Chunyu.

Before eating, Ye Mu served everyone soup. As soon as the soup was in his mouth, Ye Qingqing's eyes lit up.

"This soup is delicious."

Ye Qingqing finished the drink in one breath, and then ran to bring back another bowl.

Not only is the soup delicious, the lotus root is also very delicious.

The lotus roots grown with mountain spring water are indeed different from those bought outside. They are particularly pink and glutinous and have a very good taste.

And the taste is also sweeter. Even if it is cooked into soup, it is still delicious.

The vinegar lotus root slices are also very good, very refreshing to eat with rice.

After eating these two dishes, Ye Qingqing was even more looking forward to the whole lotus root feast in the evening.

The relationship between the Ye family and the Wang family has always been good, and with Wang Chunyu here, everyone enjoyed the meal very happily.

Mrs. Ye and Mother Ye took turns praising Wang Chunyu, and from time to time they also praised Wang Lixia who was standing by.

The two siblings were so thin-skinned that they were too embarrassed to continue eating with their faces red.

Li also praised Ye Qingqing and Ye Xilin in a fancy way. Although the two were thicker-skinned, they also felt very embarrassed.

Except for the awkward four people, the elders of the two families were having a good time and chatting very interestingly.

After lunch, Ye Xilin took the initiative to clear away the dishes with a clear eye.

When Li saw that Ye Xilin had a job in his eyes and was doing the housework very quickly, the smile on his face became even brighter. The Ye family's family tradition was quite good.

As soon as I put down the bowls and chopsticks, Chenchen's cry came from the room.

Ye Qingqing trotted back to the house, fed Chenchen, put him to sleep, and then returned to the Tang family behind.

She was full, but the dogs at home were still hungry.

As soon as he entered the door, four big dogs surrounded Ye Qingqing, grunting and barking anxiously.

It looked like I was hungry.

Entering the kitchen, the house was filled with a sweet smell, and the sweet potato porridge was already ready in the pot.

Ye Qingqing poured the sweet potato porridge into four large basins. That's right, these big guys eat out of basins.

In one meal, the four dogs ate the food of an ordinary person for two or three days.

If the family didn't have a mountain to hunt in, and the Tang family had some wealth, they really wouldn't be able to raise them.

The dogs at home usually eat with Ye Qingqing and the others. They eat whatever people eat.

Now I'm so naughty that I still don't feel happy eating sweet potato porridge.

But Ye Qingqing had no time to care about them.

Not only were the dogs hungry, but the chickens and sheep in the backyard were also hungry and making a lot of noise.

Ye Qingqing hurriedly went to the backyard to feed the chickens, and then fed the hungry ewe that was chewing on the railing.

After finishing the work, he returned to Ye's house with the embroidery.

In the house, Wang Chunyu packed up some of Xiaoqi's old clothes and came out, just enough for Wang Lixia's son to wear.

In addition, he also gave Li two pieces of soft cotton cloth, one was an ordinary blue, and the other was a bright and beautiful goose yellow.

This is used to make clothes for several nephews and nieces.

She originally wanted to make clothes directly, but since she hasn't been back to her parents' home for a long time, she was afraid that the clothes she made would not fit, so it would be better to send fabrics.

In addition, Wang Chunyu also made thick winter clothes and cotton shoes for his grandfather and parents.

She originally planned to give it as a New Year's gift, but now that Mrs. Li is here, Wang Chunyu might as well take it out earlier.

It's been a lot colder lately, so I'm just ready to put on this new outfit.

"Okay, okay, my daughter is still filial."

Holding the new clothes made by her daughter, Ms. Li smiled so much that she couldn't close her mouth.

At this time, Ye Mu was in the utility room preparing a return gift for the Wang family.

There was a lot of bacon at home, including bacon rabbits, ducks and chickens. Mother Ye took one each. In addition, I also took a piece of bacon that weighed more than two kilograms.

Thinking that the Wang family did not have a bamboo forest, Ye Mu packed some dried bamboo shoots and dried bamboo fungus.

The Wang family is generous, and Ye Mu is not stingy either. She has a basket full of all kinds of delicious food.

It was not easy for Mrs. Li to come here. She stayed there until the afternoon and then reluctantly went back with Wang Lixia.

Mrs. Li got on the donkey cart and waved to the girl at the door.

"Okay, no need to send it away. Mom will come over to see you when the little one comes out."

Many women gathered under the banyan tree at the head of the village. They were all very envious when they saw that the Wang family had come to deliver things again.

A young woman looked sourly at the donkey cart that had gone away.

"Wang Chunyu is really lucky. Her family is good to her, she married into a good husband's family, and she gave birth to a son for her first child. She took advantage of all the good things."

Another young woman said:

"I think Ye Qingqing has the best fate. She got married right in front of the family. And the Tang family doesn't have a mother-in-law to pressure her. Once she gets married, she becomes the master of the family."

"I go back to my parents' house for dinner every three days, and the Ye family has no problem with it. Now that I'm a mother, I look as fresh as an unmarried little girl."

"That's right, I often see Qingqing carrying her child back to her parents' house for dinner." Another woman who was a few years older also said.

In the past, the women of the older generation envied Ye's mother the most, but now the women of the younger generation envy Ye Qingqing very much.

Not only is she loved by her mother's family and she marries well, but she also has a skill to make a living.

These women don't mean anything malicious, they're just sour.

We have different fates, so why can’t we meet such a good family?

Several people gathered together and talked about the trivial things at home and complained about their own troubles.

Listening to everyone's bad things, I feel a little more balanced.
