Chapter 121 Lotus Leaf Porridge

Yun Qinghuan laughed when she heard this, and quickly took out a big steamed bun wrapped in paper from her arms, broke off half of it and gave it to her, "Here, here, fill your stomach quickly." ɱ

This was what she grabbed when the steamed buns were just served, and she grabbed three white flour steamed buns at once, which made the people eating at the same table very envious.

That was a white flour steamed bun!

It was a fine steamed bun that people would not eat unless it was Chinese New Year!

Yun Qinghuan ate one, An An ate one, and she wrapped the remaining one in paper, intending to take it back for her mother-in-law and Bai Naihan to taste.

But at this moment, seeing that Qiao Yue really didn't eat a few bites, she felt a little distressed and broke off half of it for her to eat.

Jiang Wenxiu next to her also looked at Qiao Yue with pity and gave her a wedding candy, "Here, here's a candy for you to sweeten your mouth."

Qiao Yue didn't grab any when the wedding candy was scattered just now.

What a bad luck, unlike Yun Qinghuan and Jiang Wenxiu, the two of them picked up several candies, even little An An grabbed two.

Qiao Yue was touched, but still waved her hand, "I can't have it, you still have to take it back for your family."

She didn't eat enough because she was not capable enough and couldn't snatch it from others, but what's the big deal about eating their food?

Yun Qinghuan and Jiang Wenxiu forced the food on her, "Why are you being polite to us?"

Because Yun Qinghuan is close to Jiang Wenxiu now, Qiao Yue has a good relationship with Jiang Wenxiu now.

Hearing this, she took the food and ate it. She was really hungry.

She was busy at the educated youth point early in the morning and didn't eat anything. As a result, she was busy all morning and didn't eat much at noon. She was already starving.

When a few people came out of Xia's house, Yun Qinghuan saw Xia Mei. She looked even thinner, and her belly was slightly bulging.

She was wearing tattered clothes and looked worried.

After walking a few steps, she probably saw Yun Qinghuan, and her pupils shrank back with guilt. Then she subconsciously pulled her clothes to her belly and hurried to the Xia family yard.

Jiang Wenxiu also saw Xia Mei and pouted, "She is from the same clan as Xia Yuhua. Xia Yuhua is getting married today, and she is coming to help wash the dishes and wipe the table. Looking at her like this, she is definitely pregnant before marriage."

"Tsk, the girls of the Xia family are really interesting. They are all pregnant before marriage, and they are not afraid that the girls behind them will have trouble getting married."

Yun Qinghuan didn't say anything, but just stared at Xia Mei's back for a while.

It was noon after the banquet. The weather was good today. People were hot under the sun, and the wind blowing from the road was hot. After walking for a while, several people were sweating all over.

It just so happened that a lot of lotus leaves were blooming by the river. Passing by the river, Yun Qinghuan picked four lotus leaves and used one as an umbrella for each person as they walked forward. "This lotus leaf is a good thing for cooling off and relieving heat. You can cook it with rice when you go back to get rid of the heat, and the porridge will be more fragrant."

When she saw the lotus leaves, her eyes were bright.

She had already thought about using them to cook porridge in the evening.

Jiang Wenxiu was a little surprised when she heard her say that, "So this thing can be eaten."

She really didn't know.

They only knew that lotus roots and lotus pods could be eaten, but they had never heard that lotus leaves could be eaten.

"Yes."

If there was meat and glutinous rice, she could also make lotus leaf glutinous rice and meat dumplings, which were delicious.

Several people went back to their own homes. As soon as Yun Qinghuan went back, she broke the remaining half of the big steamed bun into two pieces and gave one bite to the man and mother-in-law.

"Hey, try it. This Xia Yuhua's wedding is really very stylish. She was willing to give out white flour buns, and I grabbed three." Yun Qinghuan laughed happily.

Before she left, her mother-in-law gave her many instructions, fearing that she would not be able to compete with the group of women and would not be able to eat enough.

When Liu Yuzhi heard her talk about the feast, she not only did not suffer any loss, but also brought back a big steamed bun and praised her repeatedly.

Yun Qinghuan smiled with pursed lips, very happy.

In the evening, she cooked a full pot of lotus leaf porridge, put the candied dates she bought in it, and sprinkled a handful of glutinous rice. The porridge was soft and tasty, with a strong rice aroma. An An was very greedy and slurped, "Mom, this porridge smells so good!"

Yun Qinghuan smiled and scooped a spoonful to the child's mouth, "Hey, be careful not to burn your mouth, help mom to test whether the porridge is cooked."

In fact, you can see at a glance that the porridge is already cooked, this is just an excuse to give the little guy a bite in advance.

The porridge cooked with firewood is much more delicious than the porridge cooked with a modern rice cooker, and Yun Qinghuan also likes to drink it very much.

The little guy didn't care about the heat. Before Yun Qinghuan finished speaking, he hurriedly drank the porridge. He opened his mouth because it was so hot, but he still didn't want to spit it out. After drinking it, he stared at Yun Qinghuan eagerly, obviously wanting to drink more.

Yun Qinghuan laughed, "It seems to be cooked. Wait outside first, and dinner will be served soon."

She also fried a dish of stir-fried pork with peppers, a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and finally made a few pancakes, and the simple dinner was ready.

The family sat at the table to eat. Because Gu Mingliang and Xia Yuhua were getting married today, Liu Yuzhi talked about Xia Mei.

"I heard that Xia Mei's mother received a lot of money from Lao Zhao, who couldn't find a wife, tonight. I heard that she arranged for Xia Mei to marry Lao Zhao. I don't know what Xia Mei's mother was thinking. Why can't Lao Zhao find a wife? It's because he is too lazy and gluttonous. He can do everything. After so many years, he can't even afford to build a decent house. He still lives in the mud house left for him by his parents. The straw on the roof can't even keep out the rain, and he doesn't know how to repair it. Such a lazy man, anyone who loves his daughter would not want her daughter to marry him."

"I really didn't expect that Xia Mei's mother actually arranged Xia Mei's marriage with Lao Zhao. I'm afraid she will suffer in the future."

"Ah?" Yun Qinghuan was a little surprised. "How much do you think Xia Mei's mother received as a gift?"

In her opinion, Xia Mei's mother must have received money, otherwise she would not be willing to let her daughter marry someone else for nothing.

"I heard that it was a gift of 100 yuan. Lao Zhao borrowed money everywhere in the village a few days ago. Everyone knew that if they lent him money, he would definitely not pay it back, so they were unwilling to lend it. I didn't expect that he was such a rogue. If others didn't lend him money, he would stay at their house and not leave. There was no way, so we could only lend him a few yuan. Everyone has been scolding him behind his back these two days. I really didn't expect that he did it to raise money to marry a wife."

Yun Qinghuan was a little speechless. She also knew Lao Zhao at the head of the village. He was a dirty bachelor who was probably in his thirties. That is to say, he had lived for more than 30 years, and he had to rely on this method to get the gift for marriage.

If Xia Mei really married him in the future, she might have a hard time, and she would be asked to pay back by the villagers.

The next day, Jiang Wenxiu came to tell her about Xia Mei and Lao Zhao.

The marriage between the two was indeed settled. No, to be exact, Xia Mei was already Lao Zhao's wife.

I heard that Lao Zhao gave Xia Mei's mother the betrothal money last night and then forcefully tied Xia Mei to his home.

It was Xia Mei's brother who helped to tie her up because Xia Mei struggled so hard.
