Chapter 155: The Wild Animal's Nest
Shen Meng knew nothing about the child's naive thoughts. After giving the soy milk to Xie Jinghao, she went straight home. When she passed by the private plot, she turned around and entered the space. She first went to the bathroom to take a good shower, changed into light clothes, and went to the warehouse to get herself a pot of super spicy beef oil base.
Authentic Sichuan flavor, delicious but not overpowering.
Tripe, duck intestines, braised chicken feet, beef tendons, fatty beef, fatty lamb, shrimp paste, tribute vegetables, potato chips, dried tofu, fried rice, tofu pudding, ice cream, cocktails. Finally, order some wonderful music, Shen Mengsi drools, and the hot pot begins.
After putting a full table, she began to eat with a huff. The north wind was howling outside and it was extremely cold, but the temperature in the room was warm, which made Shen Meng eat very contentedly.
After eating and drinking, Shen Meng dealt with the odor on his body before leaving the space. The tofu made in the kitchen was almost ready.
She found a basket and assigned tasks to the children.
"Mother made so much tofu. We usually freeze it for ourselves and give the rest away. These are cut into pieces and given to your Fourth Aunt, Aunt Daya, Aunt Lianhua, Aunt Xifeng, your grandmother's family, Uncle Guai's family, the village head and the Party Secretary. Each family gets one piece. The remaining big piece is for your brother Aman. After giving them away, hurry home. Mother will make you something delicious tonight."
"I know, mom. Mingliang and I will go. You should get some sleep. It's still early!"
Shen Meng: "My mother also had the same idea."
After she had eaten her fill, she was about to go to sleep, her eyelids drooping. The tofu was still hot, so she could eat it directly after sending it out, adding some soy sauce or garlic juice. At least other families had a better life, but Aman was different. They didn't get much food, and if she didn't help them, she didn't know how they would get through the New Year.
The two children, Mingkai and Mingfang, sat by the coal stove, writing and drawing. From time to time, they looked into the room and saw that their mother, who was resting in bed, had kicked off the quilt or was not sleeping well.
When Shen Meng woke up, Lu Xiangxiang had already returned and was learning to read with Mingfang, with a very serious expression on her face.
"Xiangxiang is here."
"Sister-in-law, you made so much tofu by yourself, it must be hard work."
"It's not hard. It's winter now and there's nothing to do at home. I can stew some vegetables and steam two pots of steamed buns in the evening. Then we can eat when they come back."
"Listen to my sister-in-law."
After Lu Xiangxiang finished talking to Shen Meng, she started to work, carrying firewood, fetching water, washing pots, cutting vegetables and making noodles. She didn't let Shen Meng get involved at all. She only gave the stove to her when she was cooking.
Stir-fry the pork belly slices with scallions, ginger and chili until the oil is fragrant. Then add the cabbage, radish, water, vermicelli, tofu and bean sprouts, and add light and dark soy sauce. Cover the pot and start stewing.
After the pot was heated, she put the rolled pancakes dipped in vegetable soup on the edge of the pot, covered it and continued to cook.
Steamed buns have been put into the small pot over here, and soon the fragrance spreads all over the yard.
In the evening, it was already dark and a light snow began to fall. Shen Meng, Lu Xiangxiang and the children had already had dinner. In that weather, they were hungry early. After dinner, Shen Meng made a large pot of vitamin C water.
"This is good for your health, and it tastes sour and sweet. From now on, you little guys should drink a cup every day."
The eyes of Mingyang's children lit up. They drank one cup and thought they were not allowed to drink anymore, but they didn't expect their mother to let them drink. They immediately started laughing.
When the courtyard door was knocked, Shen Meng and Lu Xiangxiang quickly stood up, put on their clothes, and walked out of the main room.
Lu Zhenping and Shen Xiaobin were carrying a lot of things, and Lu Jiasheng and Lu Changhong were carrying a big thing into the yard. After closing the door, Lu Jiasheng quickly closed it. Shen Meng and Lu Xiangxiang looked at the game in the yard and took a deep breath.
A dozen wild rabbits, five or six pheasants, an elk, and a big wild boar were lying on the ground, and they seemed to have died.
"Why did you get so many? Did you disturb the wild game?"
Lu Xiangxiang didn't say anything. She was shaking all over as she stood next to Shen Meng.
"I'm lucky today. Xiao Meng, quickly pour me some hot water. I'm a little thirsty."
"Hey, here we come!"
Shen Meng turned around and went back to the house, and Lu Xiangxiang also walked in. After a while, the two women came out with cups of water in their hands. Mingyang and Mingliang each took a cup and gave them to Lu Jiasheng and Lu Changhong. The two men took it and poured it into their mouths. When they had almost finished drinking, just as they were about to return the cups, they saw Lu Zhenping and Shen Meng being in a lovey-dovey manner, and Lu Xiangxiang and Shen Xiaobin over there also looked at each other.
Lu Jiasheng: “.”
Lu Changhong: “.”
As if no one has a wife!!!
As if he could hear the inner conversation, Lu Jiasheng suddenly turned his head and looked at Lu Changhong. The latter touched his neck awkwardly. He didn't have a wife.
After Shen Meng and Lu Xiangxiang waited for them to take a break, they invited them into the house to eat first. The game had already been brought into the house, and they couldn't run away anyway, so the first priority was to restore their strength.
Hot stew and big steamed buns were served on the table, and Shen Meng scooped two glasses of wine from the jar. Several grown men had been hiding in the mountains for a whole day, and now they could finally eat hot meals with meat and wine. They enjoyed the meal very much.
Shen Meng didn't care how to divide the meat. She and Lu Xiangxiang boiled two pots of hot water for them to use. She took the children to wash up and then went into the house to rest.
Lu Xiangxiang pulled Shen Xiaobin aside and told him everything that happened to her today. She looked at Shen Xiaobin nervously, fearing that he would be disgusted.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know. You must be feeling very aggrieved today. Don't worry, I'll help you get back to your senses. In a couple of days I'll ask my parents to go to you and ask for marriage. We'll get married after the New Year."
"Don't you dislike me?"
"Silly boy, this isn't your fault. It's all that bastard's fault. Don't be afraid. I'm here for you. I'm not unreasonable. It's obviously not your fault, but you're blaming me for it. Besides, if I dare to say anything wrong about you, my sister will break my legs right away."
Lu Xiangxiang was originally moved, but after hearing what Shen Xiaobin said later, she burst into laughter.
"My brother-in-law said that the game he hunted this time will not be shared with the villagers, otherwise everyone will be eyeing him in the future. My brother-in-law said that he would give me a hind leg meat, a rabbit and a pheasant, and we will each share half!"
"That's too much. Don't eat so much. Take it home and give it to your aunt and uncle!"
Shen Xiaobin touched his head and said, "My brother-in-law said that he wanted to build a good relationship with my uncle. This thing is not just for your parents, your brother and sister-in-law also have it."
Lu Xiangxiang felt sweet inside after hearing this, and then she paused and said, "Forget about my second brother and his people. They are not worth dealing with. They are like plague gods. It is better to stay away from them."
