Chapter 220 Meeting an acquaintance
"Oh? Xiaoxue can also cook?" Grandma Zhang asked.
"Yes! Girls our age can do anything in the countryside!" Lin Xue didn't hide anything, nor did she feel inferior because she was a country girl.
"Well, if you're not tired, grandma is waiting to try the midnight snack you made! I just had a bad appetite and didn't eat much!" Grandma Zhang felt better.
This made Mr. Zhang breathe a sigh of relief and found that the old lady and his granddaughter-in-law got along very well. See how happy the granddaughter-in-law made the old lady.
After chatting with the old couple for a while, Zhang Yuan sent Lin Xue back to the room prepared for her to rest.
Lin Xue went back to her room to rest for a while, thinking about her promise to her grandparents to make a midnight snack for the two of them. She washed up, changed her clothes, and went downstairs into the kitchen refreshed.
She was dumbfounded as soon as she entered the kitchen. The kitchen was as big as their home, bright and full of various kitchen utensils and various ingredients.
In this era of scarcity of food and clothing, people at the top have never been affected, except for those intellectuals who were implicated by the times and went to the countryside.
Seeing Lin Xue enter the kitchen, Mrs. Zhang quickly followed her in.
"Young madam, let me help you!" Mrs. Zhang said with a smile.
"No, no, no, I'll do it myself! You don't need to eat too much for midnight snack. I'm going to make some porridge for my grandparents. It'll be soft and easy to digest!" Lin Xue waved her hand.
Sister-in-law Zhang is the elderly person next to my grandparents and is also the housekeeper here. She is usually very busy.
"Then I'll help you find someone to come over and do it!" Mrs. Zhang was also busy, so she didn't insist on helping Lin Xue herself.
When Lin Xue heard what Mrs. Zhang said, she couldn't insist on not taking action.
Fortunately, the ingredients are all here, and she has already taken down the main ingredients.
She was going to cook preserved egg and lean meat porridge for the two old people, mainly because she liked it.
When you don’t know the taste of the two old people, just cook what you like to eat. It’s time to go to bed and it’s not appropriate to eat big fish, meat or hard things. This is the most suitable.
She took out the preserved eggs from the space. Zhang Yuan also liked to eat the preserved egg and lean meat porridge she cooked, so she cooked more and sent some to him later.
He must be doing his own research at this time. He didn't eat much for dinner, so he must be hungry.
I was thinking about it, and just when I was about to go look for what I wanted to use, I heard voices behind me.
"Young madam, just tell Mrs. Kang whatever you want!" Mrs. Zhang's voice sounded, and she came over with someone.
Lin Xue turned around and said yes, and looked over. It was incredible, this fate was really unexplainable. The Mrs. Kang mentioned in Mrs. Zhang's words turned out to be Kang Chunmei who had come with her on the train.
"Sister Kang! Why are you here?" Lin Xue asked out loud, but only after asking this question did she remember that they came together, but Sister Kang came a day early, and they actually came just now, which inevitably left them unexplained.
It was clear, so she told Mrs. Zhang without waiting for Kang Chunmei to speak
"Sister-in-law Zhang, I'm busy here. You go take care of your grandparents!"
"Okay! Then I'll go over to the young lady first!" Although Mrs. Zhang was very curious about how Lin Xue met this newly arrived Mrs. Kang, she said that if she left, she wouldn't be able to stay here and listen, so she was obedient.
out.
After Mrs. Zhang left, Lin Xue turned around and talked to Kang Chunmei.
"Sister Kang, it turns out that your husband is working as an orderly here?" Lin Xue was confused. Grandpa has already come down, so he shouldn't be called an orderly, right?
"Yes, I drive for the old man. No, mother and daughter even arranged a job for me when we came here. It's really great. I didn't expect you, Xiaoxue, to be the young lady!" Kang Chunmei was not only happy but also a little bit happy.
Excited.
"Then why are you rushing to work without taking two days' rest?" Lin Xue asked distressedly.
She suffered so much along the way. She had to stand on the ticket all the time. When she was tired, she could only sit on the ground. She could only sleep sitting up at night, relying on her luggage.
A lot of her men don't feel sorry for her? This will make people go to work.
"Isn't there a lack of someone in the kitchen? Originally, your brother-in-law...Shu'er's father wanted me to rest for a few days before going to work, but I live in the dormitory provided here. How can I rest when there is no one in the kitchen? I'm so anxious.
I came over now, this job is not tiring, I can eat full every day, and I am not tired at all!" Kang Chunmei said, "I was afraid that if I didn't go to work quickly, this job would be gone! It's better now, I was still okay
I thought I wouldn’t be able to find you after this, so I can’t even repay you. If Shu’er knew you were here, she would be very happy.”
"Where is Shu'er? Can you go to work and no one is watching her?" Lin Xue now thought of that little girl who was only five years old, but very sensible. She ate and slept with her along the way, and she felt a little emotional.
"She is over there in the dormitory. There are several children there who we can usually play with. After I finish my work here, I can go back there to have a look. Now her dad has got off work and can stay with her!" Kang Chunmei explained!
.
"Then let's do it quickly! You can go back early to rest soon!" Lin Xue heard what Kang Chunmei said and hurriedly looked for ingredients.
She doesn't really need anyone's help to cook porridge. She's not that delicate and frail young lady who can't afford a job.
The two of us worked hard for a while and they were done, just waiting for me to finish cooking.
During this period, the two of them chatted without a word. Kang Chunmei told her the story of how she came here, and also told her the story of her and her husband.
It turns out that the two of them had a good relationship, but after her husband went into the army, she and her daughter had suffered a lot in the past few years. At first, these husbands didn't know how happy they were after seeing their daughter.
Kang Chunmei said that she did not tell her husband that she was kicked out by her husband's family, nor did she tell her husband how her eldest sister-in-law took care of them. She said that from now on, she just needs to get ahead, and the past is not important.
Yi Linxue saw that this was not over yet. Could her husband's family let her go if she found out that her son was going to be successful? As a son, if he didn't know that his wife and daughter were being kicked out, his parents must be filial.
The two chatted for a while, and Lin Xue didn't feel comfortable criticizing other people's lives. Seeing that the preserved egg and lean meat porridge was ready, Kang Chunmei hurriedly helped to serve it out.
And helped her to the rooms of the two old people.
The two old men have been waiting for the midnight snack made by their granddaughter-in-law, and they haven't gone to bed yet.
Once this was delivered, grandma couldn’t wait to try it.
This is the first filial piety meal that the old woman has enjoyed since her daughter-in-law passed away.
Lin Cuifen usually doesn't care about trying to please her, and she has never eaten the food she cooked, so this is indeed her first meal.
As soon as the soft and fragrant preserved egg and lean meat porridge entered the mouth, the old lady opened her eyes wide, chewed a few times with few teeth left, and then swallowed it. Then she quickly took another bite, nodding her head and talking.
Delicious.
At first, the old man thought that the old wife was just trying to show his grandson-in-law how delicious it was.
Later I discovered that this was not necessarily the case, and that it might be really delicious. This bowl of porridge was so hot that the old lady almost ate half of it, so he quickly picked up his bowl and started eating.
Then he couldn't stop, it was really delicious. He had never liked to drink porridge. He had spent his life pouring blood and thought that porridge was something women drank. A grown man shouldn't be like a woman, but this porridge
