He Yu Shui wiped her eyes and sat down to eat.
The wild chicken meat was tender and flavorful, requiring no complicated cooking methods.
Simply heat 200 grams of peanut oil in a wok until it’s five parts hot, then add the chicken pieces and stir-fry over medium heat for 7-8 minutes. When the chicken shrinks, add various seasonings.
Add water and stew until cooked!
Today, Luo Hui Zhen didn't steam rice, instead, she mixed white flour and corn flour together, brushed the edge of the pan with chicken fat, and made flatbreads.
Then she added firewood to the firewood stove and slowly reduced the sauce.
The big pot stew chicken was done.
The meat was tender and flavorful.
The rich broth soaked the cornmeal pancakes, then take a bite of chicken, the taste was simply incredible.
Snowflakes gently drifted outside.
Every household began to eat dinner.
The smell of stir-fried chicken wafting from the backyard instantly broke their defenses.
“Is the Luo family not living a normal life?
First, it was sauerkraut fish with rice, then braised pork with rice, and now it’s firewood-stewed chicken!
How much money did Luo Xiao Qing make from hunting?”
“I went to the neighborhood committee to inquire, and I heard that a wild boar costs 200 yuan!”
Yan Bu Gui's face turned pale.
Yan Jie Kuang: "Dad, didn't you say you were going to ask for their leftover bones from Luo Xiao Qing's house?
Can we get chicken bones? They're more delicious than fish bones!”
Yan Jie Fang and the Third Aunt also looked at Yan Bu Gui expectantly.
Yan Bu Gui's face was troubled: “We haven't helped the Luo family in the past. If we go there uninvited, they might not give us anything.
So, Yan Jie Kuang and Yan Jie Fang, you two stay in the courtyard and keep an eye on Duo Duo and Guo Guo.
Don't let the little girls get bullied. Yang Rui Hua, you should talk to the widowed Luo more often. If there's anything that needs help, lend a hand!”
Yang Rui Hua: “Okay! But, child’s father, that house at Luo Xiao Qing’s place is not going to work.
Jie Cheng's marriage...”
Yan Jie Cheng looked at Yan Bu Gui expectantly.
Yan Bu Gui took a sip of the sticky concoction: “Okay, I'll go ask the neighborhood committee later.
Maybe I can find Jie Cheng a job first.
Also, our neighbor Old Lin said he wanted to sell his house and go back to his hometown a few days ago.
If he wants to sell it, I'll ask around.
Our family's situation is different from the Jia family. If we find a wife from the countryside, life will be even harder.
It's best to find a worker!”
Yan Jie Cheng: “Worker? Then we'll be a double-worker family?
We'll be much more glorious than Jia Dong Xu!”
Yan Bu Gui: “Of course, in this courtyard, in terms of vision and calculation, who can compare to your dad?”
In the middle courtyard, Qin Huai Ru was absentminded all day, with the image of Luo Xiao Qing riding a bicycle today constantly echoing in her mind.
If she had married Luo Xiao Qing back then, would she be the one sitting on the back of his bicycle today?
What if Luo Xiao Qing can hunt for prey every day in the future, and his life becomes even better than the Jia family, what would she do?
Jia Zhang Shi smelled the chicken aroma and was so angry that she slammed her chopsticks: “The Luo family is truly heartless.
They eat delicious food and drink all day long.
They don't know how to help our poor orphans and widows! They are so heartless! The Jia family is going through such a hard time.
Why shouldn't they help me?”
Qin Huai Ru felt disdain in her heart when she heard Jia Zhang Shi's words. Her mother-in-law only knows how to be rude and act recklessly.
She should think about it, in the past, she constantly cursed the Luo family for being childless and unable to find a wife, why should they help her?
Besides, the Jia family and the Luo family have a grudge over a woman!
The more Qin Huai Ru thought about it, the more distressed she became. In fact, at the beginning when she discussed marriage with Luo Xiao Qing, he was quite good to her.
Much better than Jia Dong Xu.
Jia Dong Xu's eyes were cold: "Huai Ru, you wouldn't be regretting not choosing Luo Xiao Qing, would you?"
Qin Huai Ru: “Dong Xu, how could that be? Even if that Luo Xiao Qing is very capable, it’s only temporary.
He doesn't have a job, which is a major flaw!”
Jia Dong Xu: “Yes, my master said that in at most five years, I will be able to earn 50 or 60 yuan a month.
At that time, our family will also buy a bicycle! Then, our family will have a bicycle and a sewing machine, two major items!”
Qin Huai Ru imagined that scene and felt happy in her heart: “Dong Xu, I’ll pour you a glass of wine!”
He Yu Zhu came back carrying a lunch box. He didn't see He Yu Shui, so he went directly to the Luo family in the backyard.
As soon as he entered the Luo family's home, He Yu Zhu smelled the aroma, "Wow, Luo Xiao Qing, is your family not living a normal life?
You're eating fish and meat every day. Jia Po Po is definitely cursing you at home!”
Luo Xiao Qing: “Let her curse, the more she curses, the more delicious the meat I eat!”
Sha Zhu chuckled: “That Jia Po Po is truly excessive, but Qin Jie is still quite good.
It's just unfortunate she has that mother-in-law!
Xiao Qing, Yu Shui has been eating at your house for two meals now. I just got paid today, and I bought some cooked food. Don't dislike it!”
At this time, He Yu Zhu, although his life was tough, had not yet been brainwashed by Yi Zhong Hai or tricked by Qin Huai Ru.
Therefore, he was still the righteous, straightforward, kind, and grateful He Yu Zhu.
Luo Xiao Qing looked at the cooked food, a pound of pork head meat, plus two pig ears.
It's enough to cover He Yu Shui's meals.
Luo Xiao Qing: “Since you’re here, why don't we have a drink together?”
He Yu Zhu's eyes lit up: “Sounds good!”
Luo Xiao Qing and He Yu Zhu clinked glasses and drank happily.
Liu Hai Zhong sat in the house, smelling the stir-fried chicken, then looked at the pork head meat.
He was so angry that his whole body trembled: “Child’s mother, we’ll also eat meat tomorrow!
Eat braised pork!”
Liu Da Ma: “Child’s father, braised pork is not cheap these days. If we eat meat, you won't be able to have your daily wine, peanuts, and eggs.
We don't have the means of the Luo family.”
“Bang!”
Liu Hai Zhong angrily put down his chopsticks: “Life is unbearable! Smelling meat every day but can't eat it is too painful!”
