I became the male protagonist's wife who died young, and I became a hero by eating melons

In the afternoon, Ji Xiaoxi taught Du Yumei how to make chili garlic sauce at home. They planned to make more, not only to give to others, but also to make some for their own family.

With a large population, we naturally have to do more.

Although it consumes a lot of oil, soybean oil now costs 7 cents per pound. One pound can make several bottles of garlic chili sauce, which is enough for a long time.

What she made was an improved version. It was not the oily sauce of later generations, but a dry one, which was more convenient to store. If you want it to be oilier, you can add some hot oil yourself. If you want it to be drier, just spread a little on it.

In the morning, I usually make some grits porridge or steamed corn bread, add some this sauce and some chopped green onions, it is easy and delicious.

It can also be used as a seasoning when cooking to add another layer of flavor to the dish.

If you add some five-spice powder or cumin powder, it will become barbecue seasoning, which is delicious even when dipped in grass.

Lu Qian'an and Xiaobao sat at the gate. The two little kids squatted on the ground and peeled garlic obediently. Since their little hands were not flexible, they bit the garlic with their teeth and then spit out the garlic skins in their mouths.

Xiaobao accidentally took a big bite and started crying because of the spiciness.

Lu Qian'an stretched out his little hand to wipe his brother's tears, "Guoguo, don't cry, An'an will help you make spicy garlic." Then he threw the garlic in Xiaobao's hand.

Ji Xiaoxi heard crying in the kitchen and thought it was the two little kids making a fuss. But when she came out, she saw Xiao Anan comforting Xiaobao, wiping the man's tears with her sleeves like a little adult.

"What's wrong? Why is Xiaobao crying?"

Lu Qian raised his little head and said, "Mom, Xiaobao is crying because of the spicy garlic."

"Are you crying because of the spiciness?" Ji Xiaoxi used to eat raw garlic when eating barbecue, but when she thought that children might have a more sensitive sense of taste and might cry because of the spiciness of garlic, she apologized and poured a glass of water for Xiaobao.

"Xiaobao, come here, drink some water and rinse your mouth. Don't do it later. Auntie will give you a handful of melon seeds. You can go out and play."

Xiaobao drank the water obediently with tears in his eyes.

Ji Xiaoxi took out two handfuls of melon seeds from his pocket and shared them with Lu Qian'an and Xiaobao.

Lu Qian'an took the melon seeds but didn't eat them. Instead, he put them in his small pocket and held a bunch of garlic in his hand, ready to continue peeling it.

Ji Xiaoxi smiled and said, "An An, go and play. Mommy can handle it here."

Lu Qianan: "Anan doesn't want to be idle, she wants to help her mother."

Ji Xiaoxi pinched his little face and said, "Oh, whose son is this? Why is he so well behaved?"

Lu Qianan chuckled, "Yours, yours."

Ji Xiaoxi: "My family, then you have to reward me well. Mom will make you something delicious tonight, okay?"

Lu Qian nodded vigorously, "Okay."

Ji Xiaoxi: "Come on, you guys go out and play first, leave this to mom and grandma."

Lu Qian'an obediently held Xiaobao's hand and pointed to the door: "Xiaobao and I are playing in the front. You can call me and I will come back."

Ji Xiaoxi: "Okay, okay, mom knows."

When she returned to the kitchen with the garlic in her arms, Du Yumei said to her, "An An seems to be even more attached to you."

Ji Xiaoxi: “Is there?”

Du Yumei chopped peppers while saying, "I think you scared him when you fainted last time. The child looks carefree, but he actually has his own thoughts."

Ji Xiaoxi: "An An is indeed more sensible, and doesn't even seem like a 3-year-old child."

Du Yumei laughed, "His father was also very smart when he was young. He was the leader of the children when he was a few years old."

Ji Xiaoxi took the opportunity to ask: "Mom, please tell me more about Jingchuan. I don't know much about him."

Du Yumei paused, thought for a moment, and then said, "You and Jingchuan haven't seen each other for four years. It's true that you have only known each other for a few days, so you can't say you know each other well.

Let me tell you about him.

Jingchuan is the child that I am most worried about among my children. As you can see, his elder brother and the second brother are both law-abiding people, but he has been full of ideas since he was young and wants to try everything he sees.

When I was a teenager, I asked the hunters in the village for advice and learned how to make large traps so that I could hunt wild boars."

Ji Xiaoxi laughed: "Did you hunt wild boars later?"

Du Yumei: "He did hunt a wild boar, but he didn't set the trap properly, and the wild boar escaped from the trap. He took an axe and chased the wild boar. Later, the wild boar chased him all over the mountain and he was almost injured.

Later, an old hunter came up the mountain and saw it, and helped him kill the wild boar. "

Ji Xiaoxi grinned: "How can he be so brave? He is not afraid of getting hurt."

Du Yumei: "He was afraid of nothing. Later, he learned from his experience and continued to go into the mountains to set traps. But wild boars are not available every day, but other game is available. He brought back a lot of meat and vegetables for the family dinner table."

Ji Xiaoxi listened with great interest. It was obvious at first glance that Lu Jingchuan was a man with personality.

Seeing her interest, Du Yumei continued, "Although Jingchuan is a troublesome child, he is also a considerate child. He knows that it is hard for me to raise a family alone, and he always tries various ways to make money. But how can a child like him make any money? I am worried about him.

He simply bartered in the village. If he saw someone’s family was short of something, he would go and help them exchange it, charging a little in the process, sometimes a few cents or a dime, and sometimes just food.”

Ji Xiaoxi: "Isn't this just the errand fee plus the middleman's profit?"

Du Yumei: "You can say that. Anyway, I can bring something home every day."

Ji Xiaoxi: "Very smart."

Du Yumei: "Later, when he grew up, he thought about making a career all the time, so he read his father's books, and it seemed that he got some insights from the books, and then he joined the army.

He was just as worrying even after joining the army. He wrote fewer letters, and always reported good news but not bad news. He always said that he had made contributions and got promoted.

Sometimes, in order to get his information, we had to get it from those people from the neighboring production team who were joining the army with him.

During the war a few years ago, I was worried every day. I finally wrote him a letter, but he took a long time to reply, which worried me to death.

He wrote back saying that he had made another contribution and was now the head of a regiment, leading a regiment of several thousand people.

Ji Xiaoxi: "He is very capable. He is already the head of a regiment at the age of 26. He was promoted so quickly. He must have made many contributions and probably encountered many dangerous situations."

Du Yumei: "Yes, it is a good thing to fight for the country. I should support him, but as a mother, I still worry from time to time."

Seeing the worry in Du Yumei's voice, Ji Xiaoxi comforted her: "Mom, Jingchuan has been smart since he was a child. Even if he goes to the battlefield, he will definitely be able to escape danger. Don't worry."

Du Yumei raised her head and smiled, "Well, when he comes back this time, you two should cultivate your relationship well. If you can have another child, I will be more relieved."

This made Ji Xiaoxi blush.

"Mom, why are you talking about this? Jingchuan hasn't come back yet. Let's talk about it when he comes back."

Du Yumei chuckled, "You're shy, I see your personality has changed a lot since you woke up from fainting last time. You're more lively than before, willing to go out, and willing to try new things. I think that's great.

When Jingchuan comes back, you must not be as reserved and shy as before. You have been married for four years and have a child. There is nothing to be shy about with your man. Jingchuan is serving in the army outside, and you will cherish your life more because you are worried about him.

You have to hold on to him and try to get pregnant during his home leave. Mom is counting on you."

Ji Xiaoxi's face turned red as if blood was about to drip out.

Giving birth? How?

In her previous life, she was a single virgin for more than 20 years. Isn't this topic a bit too explosive?

How could Du's mother get on the highway while talking?

Seeing that Ji Xiaoxi was blushing and silent, Du Yumei did not continue the topic. She was a sensible parent and knew when to stop.

Just go and urge her son when the time comes.
