Chapter 132 Let your parents take care of you
While the sweet potatoes and rice bran were cooking, the red fruits were simmering in another pot. The pot was almost ready, and the high fire there was reduced to a low fire and continued to simmer.
Ye Yuran just told them when to add something and they would do it once.
After Mrs. Liu finished burning the fire, she stood up and watched what they did.
As farm wives, it is impossible for them to know everything. Everyone has a unique skill in their hands, but it is a pity that the original owner is usually in charge of the stove, leaving her no room to show off.
The sweet potato pancakes were ready, and Ye Yuran was responsible for watching them prepare the egg drop soup. He stopped working on other dishes and asked them to come up with a side dish one by one and cook them in turn for three meals a day.
Because Li went out with her to pick water shield today, this opportunity was given to Li.
"In the future, if you go out and see some wild vegetables or the like, and want to take them back for something to eat, just tell me," Ye Yuran looked at Li's busy look and said to the other three, "I will too.
I'm not that kind of evil mother-in-law. I won't let you eat anything I don't want to eat, but the premise is that it must be edible and don't make any mess. What's wrong with the men and children in the family?
Then don’t blame me for being rude."
As he said this, he snorted coldly.
It was rare for Ms. Li to make the decision by herself. She smiled and said she would not do it.
"The preparation of this water shield is actually quite simple. You see, its leaves are small. You just need to turn on the fire, throw them into the water and blanch them until they become this emerald green color."
"Take it out and put it in cold water, drain it, add some blanched shredded radish, shredded cabbage, etc., add some seasoning and mix it."
"It's a pity that we don't have many seasonings at home. I heard from others that their purest mixing method tastes delicious."
Mrs. Li sprinkled salt into it and mixed it, feeling a little regretful at the same time.
After it was done, Ye Yuran and the three sisters-in-law were given a taste.
Not to mention that Ye Yuran has never seen it, not even the Liu family, Liu family, or Lin family have seen it.
"You have this way of eating in Lijiacun, why didn't I know?" Although Mrs. Lin is not from Lijiacun, she had a cousin who married to Lijiacun before, and it's not like she never stayed in Lijiacun, so she really didn't hear about it.
I told you about water shield.
Mrs. Li glared at her: "When did I say it was the way of eating in Lijiacun? This is the way of eating further south. It was passed down by my relatives from my grandma's side, but people here can't eat it.
I'm used to it, so it didn't spread."
"The taste is indeed a bit weird." Lin took a sip and said, "It's slippery, it's just... I can't put it into words, I just feel weird."
Ms. Liu said softly: "Maybe it's just this slippery one. I think it's weird."
Ye Yuran said nothing. She remembered the original owner's statement that it was like eating "snot", and was afraid that it would disturb everyone's interest.
"Now that it's done, one of you can go out and see where my little sister and your man are. If it's better, you can serve it to the table."
As they were talking, Zhu Bamei, who had gone to clean her clothes by the creek, came back. However, she remained silent and didn't call anyone. She looked up and saw that there was no one in the yard, so she went to dry the clothes.
Mrs. Liu and Ms. Lin happened to come out of the kitchen and saw her, so they said something to Ye Yuran.
Ye Yuran is not stupid. Zhu Bamei cleared her clothes. She and Mrs. Li both went to Xiaohegou and came back. They said they were going to wash clothes, but they must have done something else along the way.
However, the daughters-in-law didn't say anything, so she pretended they didn't see it.
How can a mother-in-law find fault with her daughter in front of her daughter-in-law all day long?
No matter how bad the original owner's character is, he can't destroy it like this. What if people become suspicious?
In fact, what she didn't know was that she knew this was the case, and her daughters-in-law also knew it in their hearts. However, considering their mother-in-law's "partiality", they really didn't dare to find out about Zhu Bamei's laziness at work.
The men of the Zhu family all came back at the right time. Liu and Lin didn't go far when they saw their figures and turned back home to inform Ye Yuran.
Ye Yuran asked everyone to put the food on the table.
Zhu Bamei also hung up her clothes and went back to the house.
Ye Yuran narrowed her eyes. I wonder if it was her misunderstanding. Zhu Bamei seemed a little afraid to look at her?
No, Zhu Bamei is usually lazy, so how could she be so guilty? There is a feeling that she is being "caught/raped on the spot".
Ye Yuran pretended to come into the house and call Dabao and Erbao for dinner. Sure enough, Zhu Bamei, who had just hid the things, stood up straight, pinched the handkerchief in her hand, and tried to pretend to be calm and call "Mother", but she failed.
When I don't get home, my eyes wander everywhere, and no matter what I look at, I feel like there is a ghost.
"Dabao, Erbao, it's time to eat." Ye Yuran was not in a hurry to expose it.
"Hey, milk, we're here."
Dabao and Erbao quickly ran out of the room and told her that they would also memorize the third paragraph.
"Can your seventh uncle know how to carry it?" Ye Yuran refused to leave and deliberately stopped in the house to ask the two children.
Dabao and Erbao nodded: "I know how to memorize it now. Uncle Qi is amazing. He will remember it after listening to it once."
"Yes, uncle Qi is the best!"
In their mouths, Zhu Qi can be praised as something in the sky and nothing on the earth.
That sentence "I'll remember it after listening to it once" finally caught Ye Yuran's heart, and a certain answer came out immediately - so, Zhu Qi actually has the ability to "never forget what has been heard"?
Ye Yuran still needs to confirm whether it is true or not.
"Really? You guys go to the dining table and finish it first. I'll have a word with your seventh uncle."
"Yes, milk." Dabao and Erbao moved away.
"Mom." Zhu Bamei still stood there nervously.
Ye Yuran glanced at her: "Why are you still standing here? Go eat, I'll go and say a word to your seventh brother."
After saying that, he pretended not to see it and went into the inner room.
Ye Yuran listened carefully to the movement outside. Zhu Bamei seemed to hesitate for a moment. She didn't know if she did anything. It was just that Zhu Bamei did not leave immediately.
Ye Yuran became even more curious about what Zhu Bamei had hidden.
"Mom!" Zhu Qi called her obediently.
"Well! You should be good these days and sit on the bed. Later, I will ask my little sister to prepare the medicine and bring it in. The doctor said that you need to stay in bed for a few more days. Don't worry about the first and second babies.
Playing, I forgot about it.”
"I know, mother." Zhu Qi blinked and said, "I'm very good and haven't gotten out of bed."
You didn't get out of bed, but you were jumping on the bed with Dabao and Erbao, thinking she couldn't hear it in the kitchen? Ye Yuran didn't bother to argue with him, and continued: "Don't you remember the formula I taught you today?"
Zhu Qi tilted her head, her face full of innocence: "Mom, do I have to recite it again?"
"No, Mom has to give you a task. She will be busy later and doesn't have time to teach them both. Mom will teach you something else. Can you teach them later?"
"Okay." Zhu Qi smiled happily when he heard that it was the task given to him by his mother.
Seeing the smile on his face, Ye Yuran felt a little uncomfortable. This child had probably been ignored for too long, so now he was happy no matter what she ordered.
