The resentful best friend travels through daily life

"Just twist it, pinch it, and throw it into the frying pan."

Shen You demonstrated it to the two of them.

"Oh, I'll try." Zhou Ning rolled up his sleeves.

"Aning, what you twisted were twisted dough sticks, not maggots." Shen You said helplessly.

Fortunately, Qi Ji is quite sensible and will be able to take charge of his own affairs soon.

Shen You let Qi Ji do it himself, and she led Zhou Ning to prepare the meat.

The Shen family scraped together enough money to buy nearly a pig.

Cut the pork belly into wide strips with alternating fat and lean parts and wash it clean.

Put various spices, soy sauce, vinegar, onion, ginger and garlic into the pot, and then stew it until it is easy to insert chopsticks into the pot. Then scoop out the seasonings and it will fill a whole pot.

Put water and pork belly into the pot and cook until blood comes out and the meat is half cooked.

Then take out the pork belly, pour out the water with blood, add the seasonings just stewed, increase the heat, and continue stewing.

The pork belly and seasoning sauce are mixed together, and the sauce slowly permeates the pork belly, leaving it full of aroma.

Add white wine halfway through and continue simmering.

The meat was stewed until slightly soft and tender, with a shiny surface.

Finally, it’s smoked.

Put a wooden grate on the pot, put sugar on the bottom of the pot, put the pork belly on the grate, cover the pot with a lid, and let the sugar smoke slowly smoke the pork belly.

Most of the other pork was pickled, leaving only four pig trotters, which were cooked with soybeans and prepared to be eaten in the evening.

After finishing all these things, it was almost dark.

Days like this repeated themselves over and over again over the next two days, and Zhou Ning felt like she would die before the disaster even came.

With one day left before the wedding, the food supplies were almost gone.

On this day, the Shen family put aside all their chores. They hung up red silks, wrote, and were nervous.

Shen Zhong asked Shen You for some snacks for the 28th time.

Zhou Ning, who was stepped on, said, "Brother, if you are nervous, go talk to me. Don't walk around here. I can't do my work."

"No, it's unlucky."

"Hey, then you should be nervous."

Zhou Ning got angry, moved to the side and continued working.

Shen Yi rushed in and stepped on Zhou Ning again.

Zhou Ning: ...

Shen Yi panted and said, "Brother, grandpa, grandma, uncle, aunt, and cousin are here."

Shen Zhong said, "Okay, I'll be right there. Xiao Si, and...A Ning, come with me to greet the elders."

yard.

Liu Zhengyuan was wearing a long gown, was thin, had clear eyes, and had the temperament of a scholar.

The old lady next to her was not thin and was very kind. She was Old Lady Liu.

Standing behind them was a young couple, Liu Qingsong and Zhu Yuner, and a five-year-old boy named Abao.

Liu Qingxiu supported Old Lady Liu and said with a smile, "Did you have a safe journey? What would you like to eat tonight?"

Old Lady Liu smiled and said, "Anything is fine. I just want to meet my grandson's wife."

Liu Qingxiu pretended to blame: "Mother, the bride cannot meet her husband's family today, have you forgotten?"

When Old Lady Liu saw Zhou Ning, she waved to her.

Although Zhou Ning was not used to being teased in front of many people, she still went over obediently.

Old Lady Liu touched Zhou Ning's face and said, "Poor thing, this must be Ah Ning, the child has become so thin. Come, grandma has some snacks, take them and eat them."

Zhou Ning took it obediently, took a bite, and said as much as possible using a clip sound, "Thank you grandma, it's delicious."

"Tsk, country girl." A Bao said disdainfully.

Although the sound was very small, everyone heard it.

The first one to get upset was Shen You. She quickly walked up to A Bao and said, "You must be A Bao, right? My name is Shen You, and I'm your sister. That Zhou Ning is also your sister. I advise you to be more respectful, otherwise it will be my responsibility as a sister to discipline my brother. Do you understand?"

Abao would not be frightened by this sister, but asked back: "My father said that you have a good temper, and it seems that you are just bluffing."

Shen You said, "You are educated, but not much. Whether I have a good temper or not, or whether Ah Ning has a good temper or not, it is not a reason for you to bully her. Apologize."

Liu Qingsong glanced at Liu Qingxiu furtively, and Liu Qingxiu glared at him.

Liu Qingsong was so frightened that he trembled and immediately grabbed Abao by the back of his collar and said, "Abao, apologize to your sister Zhou Ning."

A Bao said dissatisfiedly: "Why? I didn't do anything wrong."

Shen You chuckled and said, "Let me tell you why. Laughing and bullying someone you think is weaker than you is unkind. Not listening to your father's teachings is unfilial. Do you know you are wrong?"

A Bao curled his lips and whispered, "I'm sorry, is that not enough?"

Shen You was still a little unhappy and was stopped by Zhou Ning.

Zhou Ning never thought that one day he would have to play the role of a peacemaker.

Liu Zhengyuan stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Xiao Si has a good articulation, just like your mother when she was a child."

Liu Qingxiu said "No way" and welcomed the elder into the house.

The two Shen brothers went to make tea.

Liu Zhengyuan pulled Zhou Ning and Shen You aside to chat.

Liu Qingxiu said coldly: "Qingsong, come here, I want to tell you something."

"Ah, sister, I'll be right there." Liu Qingsong felt that his life was over.

When he was a child, he deliberately damaged his sister's clothes. His sister called him out with this tone and beat him up.

The key point is, after his parents found out, they didn’t care and thought he deserved it.

Liu Qingsong followed Liu Qingxiu timidly to a corner of the yard.

"Are mom and dad in good health?"

"Dad, Mom, I'm in good health."

"Are you and Yun'er still on good terms?"

"Okay, okay."

"Are you doing okay with your homework, Po?"

"It's okay, okay."

"Are you doing your job well?"

"Very good. Very good."

Liu Qingxiu suddenly twisted Liu Qingsong's ear and said viciously: "Then you don't care about Abao. What did he say today? He bullied Ning in front of so many people. I tell you, if you don't care about Abao, if he gets into trouble, you won't have an easy life in this life."

Liu Qingsong's face was grim, and he didn't dare to break free. He could only say, "Yes, yes, sister, please let me go first. I'll take good care of Abao later."

"No improvement at all." Liu Qingxiu said, put on a smile, and went in to entertain the elders.

Liu Qingsong rubbed his ears and followed him in.

When Old Lady Liu saw Liu Qingsong’s red ears, she felt distressed and secretly happy.

She was reluctant to beat or scold her child, but she also felt that the child was not making progress. It happened that she lived in Qingsong in Qingxiu Town.

The family chatted and laughed, and had dinner together with Master Qingyi and his two disciples in the evening.

Liu Zhengyuan really admired Qingyi and called him "good brother" all the time.

It is also said that it is fate. The name Qingyi is like the elder brother of Qingxiu and Qingsong.

Old Mrs. Liu liked every child she saw, especially Qi Ji, who was gentle and polite, and she liked him very much.
