Chapter 717: Food cooked in separate pots is the most delicious!
This is not a young man, it is clearly a family peace and a happy home.
"Brother, you are finally back! Grandma was still talking about it yesterday! Is it a holiday and can I go home?" Jiayin pulled the two brothers and kept asking them.
Jia'an and Jiaxi were also smiling. They hadn't seen each other for a few months, and they wanted to talk to their sister for days and nights.
The Marquis briefly asked about trivial matters in the house. When he heard that the good news had been dealt with, he took the three children back to Suijintan.
The Li family is busy frying fried mahua, avocados and dried fruits today.
Wenjuan couldn't help but choked on the oil smoke, so she went to find Mrs. Wen to do needlework for her child.
At the end of the first month of the year, she will give birth.
The family has prepared a lot of clothing and supplies for the children, and she keeps sewing with her own hands. She hopes that the children will have enough supplies before they are three or four years old, but she still feels that it is not enough.
She lost her mother when she was young, and now she has a child. She really wants to give all her love to her child!
Zhao Yuru spent most of her time in Luo'an this year. She felt that she was in debt to her family and did not fulfill her filial piety to her mother-in-law.
She has been busy all the time when she returned home these days, and occasionally she would talk to her mother-in-law when she had free time.
At this moment, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, one making the twists and the other holding the long chopsticks, cooperated tacitly, and the smile never left their faces.
The naughty boys in the school are already greedy. This morning, smelling the aroma in the air, they wiped their saliva and read at the same time.
Occasionally, during a break after class, they would gather together to guess what delicious food would be cooked in the Li Family Courtyard.
Actually, life at home is also easy for them.
Especially in the past few days, the village had a large scale to divide the money, and at least one family divided more than a hundred taels of silver.
Pour a jar of vegetable oil and fry something delicious, even the stingiest person can do it!
But I don’t know if the rice is more delicious when cooked in another pot. The boys are just greedy for the Li family’s food.
After school finally ended, they rushed to the door of Li's house in a swarm, pushing each other, laughing and noisy, and they were too embarrassed to come forward and lean on the door.
Zhao Yuru thought it was almost time, so she came out to take a look, and then quickly brought a plate full of twists.
Each naughty boy got a piece.
Even the shy and honest little girls following behind, everyone has a share.
Zhao Yuru packed an extra plate and asked the naughty boys to run errands to deliver it to Mr. Jiang and Gu Li.
Before the naughty boy came back to deliver the plates, the Marquis brought Jiayin and Jiaxi and Jiaan to the door.
Zhao Yuru was so happy when she saw her son and nephew that she called her mother-in-law loudly.
Mrs. Li even hugged her two grandsons. She was so distressed that she kept stuffing hot twists and nuts into their hands.
Jiaxi and Jiaan were not polite. While eating on the doorstep, they talked about what skills they had learned during this period.
That look of joyful expression showed that the two of them liked this job of the Foreign Affairs Department very much.
Li Laoer is at home today, but Li Zhensheng and Li Laosi went to the fleet to unload the cargo.
Mr. Hou and Li Laoer sat together to drink tea and chatted a few words.
The Marquis then said: "The matter of hibiscus ointment has made the emperor pay more attention to the south. In order to prevent the people from causing trouble, the emperor plans to send people to investigate outside.
“Jiaxi and Jiaan are strangers. Our family has a simple background and is loyal enough. Therefore, the Foreign Affairs Department may take Jiaxi and Jiaan out this time.
“Although this investigation is kept secret and the manpower is reliable. But there is only one in ten thousand, so we still have to take risks.
"If the family is reluctant to part with it, tell me as soon as possible and I will find a way to pick out the two boys."
Li Laoer felt bitter in his heart when he heard this, and he really couldn't laugh.
Jiayi stayed with the Hailan Army to kill the Japanese pirates. Although my mother supported him, she still lost a bit of smile these days, and the black and blue circles under her eyes were very obvious. Finally, Jiaxi and Jiaan came back. The old lady was just happy when the two boys had to go out again.
Waifan is far away from Tianwu. I heard that it takes a month to get to the nearest place by boat.
Wandering at sea, the weather is unpredictable and dangers are everywhere.
If there is an emergency, it will really make the sky not respond and the earth will not work.
Privately, he wanted to shake his head immediately and prevent his nephews from taking risks.
But the Foreign Affairs Department has been trying its best to raise two children for a long time, and I'm afraid he won't give up easily.
not to mention…
A door and half a yard away, he could hear his two nephews talking and laughing.
Needless to say, these are two restless people. Even if the family forces them to stay, they will still be unhappy...
“Master Hou, let the old lady have a good New Year first, and we can talk about this after the New Year.”
"Okay," the Marquis nodded, "The Foreign Affairs Department will be in office on the 13th day of the first lunar month to run errands. If we set out, we should arrange it on the 14th day of the first lunar month at the earliest."
Within a few words, Mrs. Li had already brought the plate into the room with a smile.
No matter how powerful Mr. Li and Mr. Hou are outside, they are just children in Mrs. Li's eyes.
Children are all greedy. How can we not feed them the delicious food that has just been cooked? !
So, Mr. Wen came back from the city. As soon as he entered the courtyard of Li's house, he saw Li Laoer and Mr. Hou, each taking a stick of twist and biting it one bite after another.
There was also an old lady Li sitting next to her who was full of kindness...
He subconsciously turned around to leave, but the sharp-eyed Jiayin noticed him and pulled him into the house with a smile.
After a while, the team that gnawed on twists and turns had one more member.
On the second day, the Marquis had something to do and had to go back to the military camp at the dock. He could not accompany Jiayin into the palace.
Father and daughter drove out of Broken Gold Beach in a carriage.
On the side of the road, everyone in the Chen family was still wielding pickaxes and shovels, fighting against the freezing winter soil.
In just a short period of time, the wealthy Chen family has become so miserable that they are worse than beggars.
This is because the Li family was so noble that they allowed the Chen family to send thick coats and quilts!
Otherwise, their noses may be filled with runny noses and their faces may turn as blue as eggplants!
The Chen family also wanted to send food, but the Li family resolutely drove them away.
The Li family doesn't want these people to freeze to death and commit murder, but they also don't want them to live too comfortably and lose their original intention of atonement.
Moreover, two large stoves were built outside the hut where the Chen family stayed.
In the morning and evening, each person has a bowl of sorghum rice porridge to satisfy his hunger.
At noon, some cabbage, radish, etc. will be added to the sorghum rice porridge, and a handful of salt will be added to taste.
When escaping from famine, this kind of food is a life-saving food that is cherished by young and old in new villages.
But now, in the eyes of the Chen family, it is a weapon to torture them!
I used to eat mountains and sea flavors, big fish and meat, and suddenly sorghum rice porridge, the gap between heaven to hell!
But what they think is not within the consideration of everyone in Xincun.
It is already a kindness to leave them alive even if they come looking for trouble!
Jiayin lay at the window and glanced at the Chen family for a few times. When she turned around and saw that her adoptive father was thinking about her, he smiled and tried to persuade her.
“Don’t worry, foster father, your daughter is now a devil that everyone is afraid of. No blind person dares to mess with me. They are also afraid of being caught and digging ditches!”
