Chapter 305 Not Bragging

Latest website: Zhulan knew who Li's voice was following, she nodded and said: "This time I'm going to Beijing to rush for the exam, whether I can stay in the capital in the future depends on the results of Chun Wei, the head of the family, and I can't say for sure about the future situation. "

Li's second aunt asked, "Isn't Chunwei next year? Why did you leave this year?"

She really doesn't know what Chunwei is, but she only knows what Chunwei is from what the head of the family said.

Zhulan explained: "There is a mansion in the capital, we go to the head of the house in advance so that we can take care of ourselves and prepare for the Spring Festival, so as not to miss the Spring Festival next year in a hurry on the road."

Li's third aunt caught the point, "Is there a house in the capital?"

My dear, how much is a house in the capital worth? I was annoyed that my mother-in-law was partial to the eldest family, and that such a good marriage was given to the eldest family. Now that it is all over, not only do I have to rely on the eldest family to speak good words to build relationships, but also to please my niece, and I feel uncomfortable thinking about it.

Li Xu's heart was pounding, her daughter's luck is really great, she may have a father-in-law who is an official in the future, oh, thinking about it, the Li family also has an in-law who is an official!

Zhulan smiled. The men in the Li family are straight-minded, and the daughters-in-law are all smart. Zhulan doesn't dislike Li's aunts. There are many petty calculations, but in general they don't step on the bottom line. Zhulan admires it even more The old lady Li passed away. The old lady must have spent a lot of effort to find a suitable daughter-in-law for her son. It was not easy for the old lady.

Mrs. Li also remembered that there was no food at home, so she came from the kitchen, "A few aunts are here too!"

Li's third aunt saw that her niece's clothes were sore again, and she wore such good clothes for cooking, and then looked at the pearl hairpin on her head, ouch, my heart was sour, and I wanted to have a smile on my face , "Yes, look, I also brought a lot of dishes!"

Mrs. Li was thinking about going home to pick vegetables, "Thank you a few aunts, I just wanted to tell my mother to go home and pick vegetables!"

Zhulan smiled and said to Li Shi: "Everyone stay for dinner today, you can watch and weigh the food."

Mrs. Li said ah, there are quite a lot of people in the four houses of the Li family, "Mother, do you want to bring the children to eat too?"

She didn't see the Li family's children, they should all stay at home.

The generosity of Zhulan is not only because of the congratulations at the door, but also because of the care of the house by the Li family for more than half a year. She took a rough look all the way, and found that there was no grass in the yard, and the tables and chairs were not dusty at all, which shows how sincere Li's natal family is. up.

in the future,

Even less came back from their family, and the Zhou family still relied on the Li family to take care of the house and land, plus the wild animals sent by the Li family, when the city of Pingzhou was closed, it really helped the Zhou family. Don't be too busy, this meal must be eaten.

When the city was closed, meat was the most scarce. The Zhou family sent wild animals to Xu Jinshi’s family, Wu’s family, and Zhao Bo’s. They bought a lot of favors for the Zhou family!

Zhulan smiled, "Come and eat."

Li Xu hurriedly said: "This can't be done, it's embarrassing enough for us to stay."

She knew how many children there were in the several rooms of the Li family. If they all came to Li's house, they would be able to sit at five or six tables. Wouldn't it be a small table for this meal?

They came here to take a look, but they really didn't expect to stay for dinner.

Zhulan pressed Li Xu's hand, "Come and eat if you're happy, let's have a lively time together, don't need to talk to your mother-in-law, everyone will listen to me today."

After finishing speaking, Zhulan said to Mrs. Li: "It's not dark now, you tell the boss to buy some chickens and come back to kill them."

After returning from Pingzhou, Zhulan bought more than 20 catties of sauced meat and ten pieces of roast chicken. She was going to give half of it to the eldest daughter's family. Come on, I ate all of them today, and I can only buy tomorrow for the daughter. The county bought it.

Zhulan also brought back a lot of food. It seems that this dinner will be gone. The oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are also brought back from Pingzhou. It is estimated that the meal will be gone. I will go to the county tomorrow. All have to be reset.

Mrs. Li responded, "Mother, I went out with the vegetables."

"Go."

Mrs. Li was so strong that she carried the three baskets and went out without much effort.

Mrs. Li weighed the dishes in her heart as she walked. The three aunts brought a full range of dishes, not only vegetables grown in the yard, but also mushrooms and fungus. It is not difficult to cook eight tables at night, and there are three ready-made dishes. , is actually quite easy.

A table of eight dishes, sauced meat, roast chicken, sauced trotters, chicken stewed mushrooms, fungus fried cabbage, chili scrambled eggs, beans stewed potatoes.

Mrs. Li carried the vegetable basket to the kitchen, and came to Mrs. Zhao, "Sisters and sisters, mother told me to buy chickens, and I was thinking about buying some eggs, so you can give me some money!"

Mrs. Zhao was washing the dishes, put down the bowl in her hand, wiped her hands and untied the purse beside her, "How many chickens and eggs does sister-in-law want to buy?"

Mrs. Li counted with her fat hands, "To make eight tables of dishes, six pieces of stewed chicken with mushrooms is enough, and one hundred eggs, and I will boil eggs for the children for breakfast tomorrow!"

Looking for something to do, he took out a tael of silver and said: "Sister-in-law, you see that Zhoujia Village is not far away. The butcher's house should still have meat. Our family has a carriage. Let eldest brother go to Zhoujia Village to buy and pick up my sister's family."

Mrs. Li took the money, "It's still your thoughtfulness, okay, I'll talk to your elder brother."

Mrs. Dong interrupted, "Sister-in-law, should I cook the staple food first for eight tables tonight? What is the staple food sister-in-law going to do?"

Mrs. Li was thinking about steamed buns with mixed noodles. I didn’t bring much cornmeal back. In Pingzhou, the cornmeal was either made into porridge or pasted with pancakes for a change of taste. Food is on the rise.

Mrs. Li coughed, "Steamed buns, the noodles we brought back are not enough, just ask your elder brother to go to Zhoujia Village to exchange for some."

Mrs. Dong didn't say a word anymore, the sister-in-law was the most confused about the kitchen.

The sisters-in-law of the Li family believed that the sister-in-law was not bragging, the sister-in-law was telling the truth, they were happy and envious at the same time!

Zhulan chatted with Li Xu for a while, Lizheng's lady from Lijia Village came, and brought some vegetables and eggs, because she knew that Zhulan's family was worried that there would be no vegetables to eat when she came back.

It's not that Zhulan forgot the vegetable garden in the house. She didn't entrust it to the Li family, but she also had her own scruples. The Zhou family has already helped the Li family a lot, so the vegetable garden was left alone, so Zhulan was always empty.

By the way, there are still a few dogs that I bought at the beginning, and they are still raised in the house. The Zhou family left food for the dogs, and the Li family took good care of the dogs. The big dogs are still very energetic. It was unavoidable, Zhulan's family often had bones to eat when they had dogs, and when Zhulan's family left, Li's family had no bones for the dogs, so they could only eat the leftover grain, and the dogs would naturally lose weight if they didn't eat meat.

When the Zhulan family came back, the happiest thing was the big dogs!

Half an hour later, Xuemei came with her child, and it was only then that Zhulan found out that Boss Zhou had gone to Zhoujia Village to buy chicken and picked up Xuemei's family by the way.

Zhulan didn't pay attention to Xuemei's belly last time when she came back, this time Xuemei's clothes were thicker, Zhulan looked at Xuemei's belly, "Why is your belly so big?"
