Chapter 45: The Zhang family is good
Qiao Lian was originally kind-hearted, and she didn't want the Chen family to miss the opportunity and delay the future generations.
As a result, she was reprimanded by her mother, which made Qiaolian lose her temper. "Well, even if I didn't say it, you can do it.
Just like my mother said, the Chen family has made meritorious contributions, and the benefits are not on my turn, so why should I bother to mix it up. ”
There was no good retribution for her kindness, and the angry Qiaolian's face was also difficult to look at, and she hugged the two children and turned her head not to look at the old lady of the Chen family and the others.
Qiao Lian was angry and didn't speak, and the Chen family didn't open their mouths, and the atmosphere in the room froze suddenly.
Fortunately, the dumplings were cooked at this time, and Qiaojuan and Concubine shouted while scooping out the dumplings.
"Quick, let's take the dumplings, the dumplings are out of the pot, it's best to eat them while they're hot."
With so many people eating, a pot can't be boiled, Qiaojuan and Yujiao can't do without looking at a pot, of course, they need someone to hold the dumplings.
Everyone in the Chen family was embarrassed to sit on the kang at this time, and the three concubines of the Wang family, plus Qiaolian, all got off the kang and put on shoes, and went over to help serve dumplings.
The two brothers of the Zhang family hurriedly put a table on the kang, and the kang head is a little one, and there are many people in the family, and the two tables may not all be able to sit open.
The table was set, and Wang and the others came in with plates and placed them on the table.
The Zhang family didn't have so many plates, so they simply scooped the dumplings on the curtain, put the curtain on the table, and put a piece of wood under one end of the curtain, and the dumpling soup flowed out along the curtain, and it was dry to eat.
All the dumplings were fished out, and Qiaojuan and the two stopped and entered the house with the garlic sauce and vinegar that had been prepared in the morning.
The old lady of the Chen family led the three Chen Minsheng brothers, plus the Zhang brothers, as well as the Wang family and Qiao Lian, all sat on the kang table.
Chen Minsheng's sons Chen Wanfu and Chen Wanlu, and their daughter Chen Wanling are not young, leading Chen Wanqi of Chen Min'an's family, Zhang Fenglin of Zhang Wenguang's family, Zhang Fengrong of Zhang Wencai's family, and a pair of twins of Qiaolian's family, and sitting on the edge of the table on the kang.
As for Qiaojuan, Liu, and Zhou, they each held their own little babies in their arms.
The babies are not big, and it is when they love to move, they are afraid of eating on the table, and the children keep moving their hands and feet and knocking over the plates and bowls.
So they didn't serve it at all, but each brought a plate of dumplings and ate them on the stove.
Tonight's dumplings are filled with radish and cabbage, Zhang Jiagang killed the pig, there is no shortage of meat to eat, and there is a lot of meat in the dumpling filling.
The person who mixes the stuffing has good craftsmanship, the taste is fresh and delicious, and the moisture is enough, not to mention how delicious it is.
In these years, every household has an average life, and there is no oil and water in the stomach, that is, to eat dumplings every New Year.
It's rare to encounter such delicious and delicious dumplings, don't you eat them with your belly open?
Fortunately, the Zhang family is not the one who picks and searches, the dumplings are packed enough, and the big guy lets go to eat, and there are still two plates left in the end.
"Oh, I haven't eaten so comfortably for a long time, and today I really followed my second sister to get naked."
Chen Minsheng's stomach was almost stretched before he stopped, and he reluctantly put down his chopsticks.
The Chen family has only moved here for two years, and they don't have any family background, so they can't eat dumplings on ordinary days, and it's rare to eat so much, Chen Minsheng is very satisfied.
The dumplings are really delicious, but Qiaolian didn't eat so much, people in this year lack of oil and water in their stomachs, and they are easy to get sick when they eat cold.
Especially Qiaolian's mother and son have just come over, and they are not accustomed to the water and soil, and if they eat too much, their stomach will be bad.
"Eldest sister, the dumplings are really good, delicious, thank you, eldest sister." Qiao Lian thanked Qiao Juan with a smile.
She knew in her heart that if it weren't for welcoming her mother and son, the eldest sister would never be willing to make dumplings.
Today's meal is both meat and white noodles, and so many people come to eat, which costs a lot, and in normal times, it is enough for the eldest sister's family of four to eat for half a month.
Qiao Juan laughed when she heard this, "Look at what you said, what is a dumpling worth?" Your brother-in-law can do it, and there is no shortage of food.
Our sisters have only been reunited for so many years, let alone a dumpling, that is, they make dumplings every day, and my sister can also provide them. ”
Qiaojuan is a very hearty character, and she is also confident in her family's life, and she is full of arrogance when she speaks.
When Qiaojuan spoke, Zhang Wenguang over there didn't say anything, only looked at his daughter-in-law with a smile.
Zhang Wenguang did not refute the Haikou boasted by his daughter-in-law, his daughter-in-law has been married for all these years, and he has never seen her so happy. As long as you can make your daughter-in-law happy, what's so great about a dumpling?
Qiaolian has always paid attention to Zhang Wenguang's expression, the Chen family, a big family, came to eat and drink, and Qiaolian was also afraid that Zhang Wenguang would be unhappy.
At this moment, seeing Zhang Wenguang smiling, his gentle eyes always staring at the eldest sister Qiaojuan, without the slightest unhappy look, Qiaolian was relieved.
It can be seen that the eldest brother-in-law is sincerely good to the eldest sister, and the eldest sister has suffered all these years, and she is finally living a good life.
"That's not good, how can you make dumplings every day when you live at home?
Eldest sister, I don't live here for a day or two, and I can't always be like this for a long time. If that's the case, I won't dare to stay long. ”
Qiaolian knew that her sister was happy to see her, and she also knew that her brother-in-law really didn't care, but she had to say it in advance.
She came to seek refuge with her sister, mainly to find a place to stay, but she definitely didn't mean to fight the autumn wind.
This is just here today, just get some delicious food, if my sister is still like this in the future, how can Qiaolian live with peace of mind?
Hearing Qiao Lian's words, Zhang Wenguang over there nodded without a trace, and it could be seen that the second daughter of the Chen family was different from her mother and brother and sister-in-law, and she was not the one who loved to take advantage of small profits.
I really didn't expect that it would not be easy for a girl like the Chen family to raise a girl of such character as Qiaolian.
"Second sister, you can live with confidence, our family's life is still passable, and you three will not be short of a mouthful of food.
When you get here, it's like your own home, so you don't have to worry about anything, and you can live with peace of mind.
Your sister doesn't like to go out and walk around on weekdays, and rarely goes out except for needlework with her younger siblings.
You came just in time, and in the future, I can go out to earn money with you accompanying your sister and relieving my boredom by talking and chatting. Zhang Wenguang didn't wait for his daughter-in-law to speak, and said with a smile.
"It's not too early, or that's it tonight.
Daughter-in-law, you clean up, tonight you lead the child to sleep with the second sister, and I will go to our brother's house to crowd.
You sisters haven't seen each other for so many years, so you must have a lot to say, and you must have a lot to say when lying under the covers at night.
I have to go up to the mountain with my brother tomorrow morning to work, and eat directly in our brother's house, so you don't need to get up early to cook. ”
Zhang Wenguang cherished Qiaojuan from the bottom of his heart, he knew that Qiaojuan must have a lot to say and ask when she saw her sister, and the two sisters didn't know how long they would talk tonight.
He has to go up the mountain to work tomorrow, and he will leave before dawn, and it is estimated that his daughter-in-law will definitely not be able to get up to cook, so he proposed so.
