Chapter 808: Fifty-year-old sister-in-law (41)

As soon as the couple came out of the room, they saw a steaming dish of braised fish on the dining table, usually a pound of river crucian carp, fried until browned and crispy, braised with some soy sauce, and finally sprinkled with a handful of chopped green onions. Topped with thick fish soup, it is delicious and delicious.

"this…"

 The couple looked at each other in disbelief.

"Dad, Mom, I'm just about to call you to start dinner." Cheng Shaojin came out of the kitchen with a plate of vinegared cabbage in her left hand and a casserole of mushroom and tofu stew in her right hand. "Let's eat it while it's hot. There's still chicken stewed in the pot." , the chicken is thicker, Yinyin said it will be more fragrant and more flavorful if it is simmered longer.”

“These…are all made by Yin Yin?”

 How can Mother Cheng still not understand her son? It's okay to go home and do some physical work, but you don't have to cook. You either fry the vegetables or overcook them. You can still eat them, but they definitely won't look so good.

Especially the mushroom and tofu stew in my son’s hand, it sounds like a new style dish.

Took the spoon from his son, took a spoonful of tofu and took a bite. It was so delicious that his eyebrows almost flew up.

"delicious!"

“They are all vegetarian, but they taste so delicious when stewed together!”

 “Yin Yin is so capable!”

 Father Cheng and mother Cheng looked at each other happily, feeling that they had found a treasure.

When the family sat down to eat, I heard my son talk about his daughter-in-law's performance in the reclamation team, and I felt like I had found a treasure.

“The yield per mu of reclaimed wasteland in the first year is this much?”

“Yinyin was selected as a model worker in the national reclamation team?”

 “Yin Yin’s strength is so great!”

 As for the fact that the daughter-in-law is a member of the reclamation team and not a resident civilian as they initially thought, what does it matter? It would be great if my son lives a happy life!

I don’t know whether it was the medicinal oil brought by her daughter-in-law that was particularly effective, or whether it was because she was in a good mood after eating the food cooked by her daughter-in-law. Mother Cheng’s waist and back ached no longer pained instantly, and she was so happy that she wanted to tell the world.

 But they didn’t want the neighbors to know that they had chickens and fish, as well as dried bamboo shoots, mushrooms, cured chicken, and bacon brought by their daughter-in-law from the north, so the couple couldn’t bear it.

After finally waiting for the opportunity to distribute wedding candies to the neighbors, when the neighbors asked how their new daughter-in-law was doing, Mother Cheng said with a smile: "You also know that Ajin is so picky that it can make him feel bad. ?"

“Yo! Looking at how happy you are, you think your daughter-in-law will be a great one?”

 More than good! Cheng's mother thought to herself that it was simply a treasure.

 It can truly be said that it can go out of the hall and enter the kitchen.

Not only is he a kind-hearted person, but he is hardworking and capable. The food he cooks is more delicious than what the restaurant chefs cook. He is also very strong. At home these days, he and his son have tidied up the house inside and out. Every morning when they get up The water in the water jar is full, the water in the soup pot is hot, the porridge is boiling in the casserole, and the cakes are baked in the pot. It can be said that this is the first time since she married into the Cheng family that she has felt idle.

“In short, Lao Cheng and I are extremely satisfied. I won’t give you some wedding candy so that you can also feel happy.”

  “…”    Cheng’s mother showed off her daughter-in-law to the neighbors and wanted to spread the word to her relatives.

Cheng Shaojin stopped her helplessly: "Mom, don't you have a backache?"

 “It’s been fine a long time ago.”

"...But the uncle's house is far away. It's a long time to walk there in this icy and snowy environment. Usually you don't always say that the uncle is too shrewd to only get in and out. It will always be our family that suffers when dealing with him. Anyway, grandma is gone. , if you can have less contact with each other, why are you thinking about going to his house now?"

"We don't usually interact with each other, but are you getting married? For such a big happy event, you should always share some wedding candies with them. Last time your cousin got married, didn't your aunt-in-law come to our house to show off... well, did you share the wedding candies? "

　　　…”

Father Cheng coughed lightly and said, "Since your mother likes it, let her go. I'll go to work and ask if the bus is there. If it is, I'll ride her bike to take her there."

　　　…”

The couple really set off to Uncle Cheng Shaojin’s house to send gifts (display) candy.

 The young couple were left looking at each other, and they laughed.

“Okay, let’s think about what we can do to help our family before we go back.”

They are going back to Beiguan soon. They bought train tickets for three days, so they can stay for another three days.

In the past three days, the two of them worked together to tidy up the house and outside: they washed what could be washed and dried what needed to be dried. Before leaving, they filled water tanks with water, rice buckets with rice, oil bottles, vinegar bottles, and soy sauce bottles. Fill them up one by one.

Xu Yin also asked Cheng Shaojin to get a cured chicken leg, go out and exchange for two kilograms of eggs and come back, fry a leek and egg stuffing, make a basket of leek and egg steamed dumplings, and stick a pot of leek and egg pancakes. I packed half of it to eat on the way and left the rest for my in-laws to taste.

On the day of departure, Uncle Cheng and his wife walked on the snowy road for a long time to see her off, and took a look at the niece-in-law who was so impressed by Cheng's mother: "What can go out of the hall and into the kitchen... How can there be anything in this world?" A truly beautiful, virtuous, and capable woman? In all likelihood, it was Cheng's mother who was bragging.

When seeing her off at the train station, Aunt Cheng glanced at Xu Yin several times and said that she was really good-looking. No wonder Ajin fell in love with her. As for virtuousness, it was not necessarily so. Look at this delicate little girl with thin arms and legs. What will he do?

After putting the nephew and his wife on the train, the group arrived at Cheng's house. When they entered the door, they heard Cheng's mother startled and kept saying:

"Oh, Yinyin really couldn't take any time off. She insisted on cleaning the house and outside before leaving, and refused to let me and Lao Cheng help. The quilt that the young couple slept on was also removed, and the top and inside of the quilt were washed, dried and folded. They have to be neatly arranged, and the quilts have been dried and put away. Now Lao Cheng and I are at ease..."

“This kid! He’s about to leave. He even bought two kilograms of eggs with money and insisted on steaming dumplings and making pancakes for us...”

“Look, the oil bottles, vinegar bottles, and soy sauce bottles are all full. It must have been Yin Yin’s suggestion. When Ajin came back before, she could only fill the water tank with water, so how could she expect to get these details..."

“Yo! The rice vat is full! Lao Cheng! Lao Cheng, come and take a look! My son and daughter-in-law bought rice for the family out of their own pockets! They bought so much! They must have spent all the money now..."

Suddenly, Cheng’s father muttered, pretending to be a curse but actually praising him: “Yin Yin, this kid, won’t listen no matter what I say...”

Uncle Cheng and his wife looked at each other, feeling sour in their hearts. They thought about their own daughter-in-law, and then looked at other people's daughters-in-law... Oh! Incomparable!

When Cheng's mother saw the rice that was almost overflowing, she no longer wanted to show off. She couldn't help but worry for her son and his wife: "This child! They spent all their money to buy this and that for us. What do they have to eat for themselves? They just got married. , What's the point of not having some money on hand! Lao Cheng, go back home quickly, write a letter, and send them some money. Life is so hard over there in Beiguan. It's not as good as at home. You can't live without money..."
