MTL - Crossing Over I Became a Married Peasant Woman-Chapter 3 Stewed Pheasant
San Xiaozhi watched the chicken stew in the pot, his eyes glowed, his saliva dripped to the ground, he squatted in front of the stove, his buttocks were reluctant to move, and he stood there.
Zhou Cheng thought that the chicken in the pot was stewing, and it wouldn't be cooked for a while, so he took the pole and carried two empty buckets out to fetch water.
''Zhou Cheng is back. I heard that your daughter-in-law was bleeding from a fall yesterday. Are you alright? ’’ There is a big tree in the center of the village, and the old men in twos and threes sat under the tree chatting after dinner. The winter wheat has just been planted, and the farmers are busy. This year is a bumper year, and everyone can take a break.
''It's alright, Uncle Dashan. '' Zhou Cheng responded and walked to the west of the village. There are two public wells in the village. They are in the east and west of the village, and the west is relatively close. There are more than 100 households in the village, and some of them are relatively wealthy and will spend some money to dig a well at home.
Zhou Cheng took four trips back and forth to fill the big water tank, sweating all over. It was getting dark too, so I went straight into the kitchen and took a basin out, poured the basin of water, took off my clothes, and took a cold shower.
Pei Xiu was sitting there dragging her cheeks, looking at Zhou Cheng's shirtless, thinking that this figure, with an inverted triangle and eight-pack abs, would be a good fit for a group of modern young men.
Zhou Cheng turned around after taking a shower, and saw Pei Xiu staring straight at his body. He felt blood pouring from his whole body to his head. He couldn't tell whether his face was red or not, and his ears were all red.
Zhou Cheng felt that Pei Xiu had been sick for a while, and everything was a little different.
Pei Xiu watched Zhou Cheng flee and was overjoyed. He never thought that this peasant was the father of three children, and he was so innocent.
''Mother, is the chicken cooked? I can smell it. '' The bench was young, and after squatting for a while, he couldn't squat anymore, and turned around the pot, sniffing around with his nose.
Mu Tou is also only a five-year-old child, scratching his ears and cheeks, anxiously jumping over there and saying ''Can I eat it, mother. ''
Hammer is more sensible. After all, he is 8 years old and half-sized. Although he is anxious to eat, he can still sit still.
Pei Xiu looked at the reactions of the children with her brows and eyes tenderly, and smiled: ''I'm anxious that pheasant is more woody. It needs to be stewed for a while, and it will be delicious if it is rotten. Wait a bit. ''
The three children squatted around the stove again in disappointment. The bench looked at the stove, and then at the mother, with a hesitant and struggling expression on their faces, and then ran to Pei Xiu and squatted: "Mother, your head still hurts, Is your throat still uncomfortable, mother, I will give you all the chicken, I won't eat it, you will get better soon. ''
Pei Xiu shook her head and said, ''Let's eat together''. When I touched the head of the bench, the hair was not much sparse and yellow, and the three children all had the same yellow complexion. It can't be said that the original owner did something wrong. In this era, every household is like this, and they eat food sparingly, and they can fill their stomachs five percent full. Clothes are new for three years and old for three years, sewing and mending for another three years, and then changing the larger ones to smaller ones, and a small piece of cloth can be left for sewing.
The original owner had a savage temper. After all, both parents died. If he was not aggressive, he could be forced to death by gossip, but he was so used to being poor that he was reluctant to eat. Pei Xiu is not a person of this era. She will not live such a life of poverty and frugality. Under the existing conditions, she will try her best to live a better life. In modern times, her parents divorced and remarried, and she has their own children. She will not miss her, and her husband is not worth worrying about. In her previous life, she wanted to have a child of her own. Since these three children call her mother, she will protect them and live well in this world.
The other two children also came over. After they found out that their mother fell, they woke up very gentle and stopped cursing. Pei Xiu touched the heads of each of the children and said, "Mother will go to town with your father tomorrow to buy cloth and cotton for you to make new clothes. ''
The three children jumped up excitedly and asked in unison: ''Really. ''
The bench was in a hurry, grabbed the corner of Pei Xiu's clothes and asked, ''Mother, do I have one too?''. He is the youngest and always picks up the rest of his brother's clothes, never wearing new clothes. The same is true for Wood. He has been picking up his elder brother's old clothes, changing them again and again, looking at Pei Xiu excitedly and worriedly. Afraid of mother coaxing them.
''There are, everyone will make you a new dress. Now wait for the meat obediently, go and call your father out to see if the chicken in the pot is rotten. ''
The three little ones have never been so happy before, and the Chinese New Year has never been so happy now. There are chickens to eat and new clothes to wear. Mother is so nice. Excitedly, he rushed to the door of the room and kept calling Dad.
Zhou Cheng looked at the child's excitement, his facial features were soft and not so cold. Zhou Cheng, surrounded by children, went to the kitchen, jumping up and down for a few steps, wishing he could turn somersaults.
Pheasant meat is actually not that delicious. It has no ingredients and no ginger. It only has salt, and the taste is very bland. But the children are very happy to eat, they have not eaten meat a few times when they grow up, they feel that the chicken at night is the best they have ever eaten, and their faces are full of happiness.
Chicken soup will be oily, but Pei Xiu eats too much of them and will have diarrhea in the middle of the night. They were told to eat only half a bowl each and eat the rest tomorrow morning. ''After eating, go back to your room and sleep''.
Pei Xiu drank the half bowl of chicken soup and went back to the room.
