Chapter 176 My Skin Is Rough and Won't Crack
This encounter with wild boars on the mountain was a warning. Winter was getting colder and colder, and the wild animals on the mountain had nothing to eat and came out to look for food.
Even if his mother and wife didn't tell him, Bai Naihan didn't plan to go hunting in the mountains again.
If he went hunting in the mountains again and encountered groups of wild boars or wolves coming down to look for food, he wouldn't be so lucky.
Yun Qinghuan and Liu Yuzhi were so scared that their heartbeats slowed down when they heard him say that.
But An An's eyes sparkled, and she looked at him excitedly and admiringly.
After dinner, the whole family, including An An, came to help deal with the newly hunted prey.
The sheepskin was peeled off. The sheepskin was in good condition. Yun Qinghuan planned to keep it to make a piece of clothing for his mother-in-law.
Old people can't stand the cold when they are a little older, especially Liu Yuzhi, who suffered a lot when she was young, and now has the root of the disease.
Put all the mutton organs and pig offal together, clean them and put them in the kitchen. Divide the mutton into two halves, salt one half and freeze it so that it can be stored for a longer time, and leave the other half unsalted and freeze it in the yard, and eat fresh meat. The wild boar is also processed in this way.
After processing these prey, several people are very tired.
In the evening, Bai Naihan first added a lot of firewood to the fire wall, and then went to the kitchen to stay, letting Yun Qinghuan wash up in the house.
It is very cold outside now, and the bathroom in the yard is also very cold. Yun Qinghuan likes to be clean, so she always wipes it with hot water in the house.
Fortunately, the fire wall was built, and the house was warm and she would not get sick.
After washing up, she let the man in.
The man had almost finished washing up in the kitchen, and brought a basin of hot water to soak his feet.
Yun Qinghuan saw that his feet were red from the cold, and his expression moved. He looked at his shoes again and found that the shoes were too thin and not warm.
It just so happens that I have to go to town to get another pair of royalties in the next two days, and then I will buy another pair of cotton shoes for each family member.
When it snows in winter, shoes are easy to get wet, and having an extra pair is easy to replace.
Yun Qinghuan applied the vanishing cream and got a little more for the man to apply, "You apply it too, it's too cold today, your face and hands are prone to chapped, it will be better if you apply it."
The man was reluctant to apply it, this thing is too expensive, and he wanted to save it for her, "No, my skin is rough and won't crack."
Yun Qinghuan glared at him, "Just apply it if I ask you to, it will be too late if it really cracks. As an uncle, you should set a good example for An An, he applies it every day."
Every time An An washes his face, he will ask Yun Qinghuan to apply perfume on him. He is very conceited at a young age.
It was too cold at night, and it was inconvenient for him to come to this room, so he asked his grandmother to apply it on him.
Bai Naihan saw her say this, so he could only take it helplessly, and applied a little with his fingers, but didn't want to apply more.
Seeing him fussing around like this, Yun Qinghuan directly used her fingers to apply a lot of it and smeared it on his hand, "Apply more to help."
After finishing, she closed the box of vanishing cream and went to bed to sleep.
Because she had been processing meat for half a day today, she was very tired and fell asleep in a short while.
Bai Naihan looked at her sleeping soundly, smiled helplessly, obediently spread the vanishing cream, and then lay down on the outside to sleep quietly.
Smelling the familiar fragrance on her body, the corners of his lips raised high.
The next day, just after getting up early in the morning, the family started to get busy again. First, they made breakfast. The breakfast was simple. They stewed pumpkin porridge and steamed a few vegetable buns and meat buns. The four of them had a simple breakfast and then went about their own business.
Bai Naihan didn't mind the cold. After dinner, he said he wanted to go fishing in the river outside to catch more fish, otherwise it would be difficult to catch fish after the lake froze.
When An An heard that he was going to catch fish, she couldn't sit still and wanted to go with him.
If there is no one at home, An An is not allowed to go fishing alone.
Now there are few people outside, and the lake is covered with thin ice. An An is too young. Although he is sensible, he is still a child. If he accidentally falls into the river, he will not be able to call for help.
Therefore, although the Bai family still has three meals a day, in fact, the family members are restraining An An and not letting him go out. Even if he goes out, he plays at the door of the house and cannot go far.
At this moment, there is a chance to go fishing, so naturally he actively participates.
Bai Naihan smiled and did not refuse. He asked someone to go with him, carrying a large wooden barrel with fishing tools and left.
An An followed behind happily.
Yun Qinghuan found it funny, and looked at her mother-in-law and smiled at each other.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stayed at home and put all the pig offal and goat viscera washed yesterday in a big pot. First, blanch them in water, and then start to add various marinade ingredients to start marinating.
After about a morning of marinating, the pig offal was soft and fragrant.
Yun Qinghuan also put the viscera of the little rabbit she had eaten some time ago into the stew. She put the viscera outside and kept them frozen, so they didn't go bad.
She stewed a large pot, but there was too much. The family couldn't finish it for the time being, so she served three bowls, one for Jiang Wenxiu, one for Grandma Chen, and one for Qiao Yue.
It was just right to eat it while it was hot, so they could cook one less dish for lunch.
Jiang Wenxiu smiled and narrowed her eyes when she saw the stewed dishes Yun Qinghuan sent. She said exaggeratedly, "It's so fragrant. I almost drooled from a distance."
Yun Qinghuan smiled and saw that her daughter Jiaojiao was very greedy, so she directly picked up a pig's large intestine for her, "Come, Jiaojiao, try it and see if it tastes good."
Although Jiaojiao was very greedy, she subconsciously looked up at her mother.
Jiang Wenxiu smiled and said, "Take what your aunt gives you. Thank your aunt quickly."
Jiaojiao's eyes sparkled, and she swallowed the braised pork intestines in one mouthful. She slurped the delicious food, but her eyes were still fixed on the braised dishes in Yun Qinghuan's bowl. She was reluctant to look away and said softly, "It's delicious. Thank you, auntie."
Yun Qinghuan saw her soft and cute, and smiled, "It's okay, as long as Jiaojiao likes it."
The little girl was a little shy, and her little face was a little red.
Behind Jiaojiao stood Jiang Wenxiu's mother-in-law, holding her grandson Gousheng. Seeing her granddaughter eating braised meat, she looked at her with some heartache, but didn't say much.
Yun Qinghuan also glanced at her and nodded to her lightly, as a greeting.
Many women in this era favored boys over girls. Although Yun Qinghuan was not surprised, it didn't mean that she was used to this phenomenon.
Jiang Wenxiu seemed to be unable to see her mother-in-law's distress. Seeing her daughter staring at the braised meat with greedy eyes, although she wanted to eat another bite, she was sensible and didn't say anything. Her eyes were full of smiles. She rubbed her daughter's head and said, "Jiaojiao, mom will give you two more chopsticks of braised meat at noon."
"Okay!" Jiaojiao responded very happily.
Jiang Wenxiu's mother-in-law probably couldn't stand it anymore and said, "What's the point of a little girl eating so many good things? Give more to Guanglin. He is a grown man who supports this family, so he needs more oil and water. And Gousheng, my good grandson, also needs more."
Jiaojiao, who was originally smiling, suddenly felt lost, lowered her head, her eyes were a little red, and her hands twisted her clothes, and she didn't say anything anymore.
