Reborn Ugly Girl Farming to Support the Family
Chapter 113 Preparations Before the Year
When Old Mrs. Zhao held the silver, her eyes suddenly turned red.
Seeing his wife wiping her eyes, Mr. Zhao comforted her: "My daughter is doing well now. This is a good thing. Why are you crying?"
Mrs. Zhao sniffed and said, "I just feel sorry for our daughter. She has suffered so much since she got married.
I went to see her a few years ago, and seeing how old she looked at such a young age, my heart felt like it was being stabbed by needles.
I have always regretted marrying my daughter to the Zheng family. I married my daughter there because I saw that Dashan was a hardworking and honest young man, and his parents-in-law were reasonable people.
Who knew that there were two troublemakers in that family? The daughter was often bullied by her sister-in-law.
Later, Dashan's leg was broken again and Xiaoman's face was ruined. I don't know why our girls had to suffer so much.
Now that we have finally separated, life is getting better and better, but I still feel anxious inside. "
Old man Zhao looked at his wife who was crying and patted her back comfortingly.
"Cry, it will make you feel better after crying."
When Zhou Chunfeng returned home, she saw her daughter leading her two children, tinkering with something in the kitchen.
Hearing some noise in the yard, Zheng Xiaoman came out of the kitchen and said, "Mom, you're back. Are grandpa and grandma all right?"
"Everything is fine. What are you doing?" Zhou Chunfeng said as she walked into the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Lixia and Chunya's mouths were full. On the stove next to them, there was a plate of candies that they had never seen before.
"Mom, come and try this. This is the crispy candy I made from sweet potatoes. Try it and see if it tastes good."
Zheng Xiaoman smiled and picked up a piece of candy and put it to her mother's mouth.
Zhou Chunfeng opened her mouth and ate the crispy candy. The sweet potato crispy candy was sweet and delicious, crispy in texture, and had the fragrance of sweet potato.
Zhou Chunfeng looked at the lard in the pot again. Well, this sugar was fried in oil.
"It's delicious. Is there glutinous rice in it?"
Zheng Xiaoman gave her mother a thumbs up and said, "Mom, you are amazing. You can tell right away. This candy is made of sweet potatoes and glutinous rice flour. I want to make some to eat during the Chinese New Year."
Although Zhou Chunfeng felt that it was a waste of good things, she didn't say it out loud.
"Okay, then make some more. When we go to your grandmother's house after the New Year, I'll bring some back for her to try."
"Okay, mom, then I'll make more." Zheng Xiaoman agreed immediately.
The day soon arrived and it was the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month. The whole village was filled with a festive atmosphere.
Usually, the end of the year is Zhou Chunfeng’s busiest time.
She had to prepare food for the whole family and was also ordered by her aunt to do various housework.
In the past, she was too cowardly and dared not say a word when bullied by her sister-in-law.
She always thought that she had to endure some grievances in exchange for the stability of her family.
Now she finally understood that she should have complained to her mother-in-law from the beginning, or simply refused.
Some people will not appreciate your compromise, but will only make more demands.
This year, with the help of her daughter, there are not so many people at home, and Zhou Chunfeng feels a lot more relaxed.
"Daughter, have you decided what to cook for the New Year's Eve dinner tomorrow?"
Zheng Xiaoman had already thought about it, "Mom, I have already thought about it, just leave it to me."
Zhou Chunfeng patted her daughter's head with satisfaction, "Okay, then I'll help you tomorrow."
On the morning of New Year's Eve, the whole family got up early.
Zheng Dashan went to the backyard to kill chickens and rabbits, while Zheng Qingming and Lixia took red paper to write Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters in the house.
Zhou Chunfeng prepared the paste in the kitchen, and everyone worked together to paste the Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters.
Zheng Xiaoman even pasted a big red word "Fu" upside down on the rice jar in the kitchen, hoping that her family would have a full granary next year.
After the word "Fu" was pasted here, Zheng Dashan came back carrying a rabbit and a chicken.
Zhou Chunfeng boiled some hot water, poured the water into a basin, and began to pluck the chicken.
Zheng Dashan had already peeled the rabbit skin and handed the processed rabbit directly to his daughter.
Zheng Xiaoman brought the rabbit over. She was going to make braised rabbit meat in the evening.
"Dad, are we going to the old house for dinner today?"
Zheng Dashan thought about it and shook his head. "No, we're separated now, so we can just eat at home. When the food is ready, I'll send some to your grandparents."
"Okay, I've prepared everything for grandpa, grandma and aunt. Dad, after we have the New Year's Eve dinner, can we bring grandpa and grandma over to stay up together to celebrate the New Year?"
Zheng Xiaoman really didn't want to stay with his grandparents and his uncle's family. It was good enough if they didn't make his grandparents angry.
Just like this New Year’s Eve dinner, without her mother around, there’s no telling what her aunt-in-law could prepare.
Zheng Dashan also wanted to bring his parents over, "Okay, when your brother goes to deliver the food, let him talk to your grandparents."
Zheng Xiaoman was satisfied and went back to the kitchen to continue working.
In the morning, her family was going to steam sticky rice cakes, and Zheng Xiaoman also made some red date steamed cakes.
The red dates were brought by my grandmother some time ago, but I have never eaten them.
As soon as the red date steamed cake was made, the two little ones came over.
Zheng Xiaoman cut a piece for each of them and said, "Try whether the steamed cake I made is delicious."
Lixia took the soft steamed cake and just as she brought it close to her mouth, a sweet aroma with the scent of red dates wafted into her nose.
"Sister, this steamed cake smells very sweet."
Chun Ya had already opened her mouth and took a big bite, and her little face was half blocked by a piece of steamed cake.
"Sister, this cake is delicious."
Chun Ya likes to eat sweets, and Zheng Xiaoman usually watches her and doesn't let her eat too much sweets.
She smiled and stroked the little girl's pigtails, "Even if you like to eat, you can't eat too much, otherwise you won't be able to eat the delicious food your sister makes in the evening."
"Yeah, sister, I'll only eat a little bit, just a little bit." Chun Ya stretched out her chubby little finger and gestured to her, "a little bit."
Those big watery eyes were looking at her very seriously. Moreover, she was wearing a red cotton-padded jacket and a red ribbon on her head today. She looked so adorable.
Zheng Xiaoman squatted down and kissed her chubby cheek, "Well, our Chun Ya is the best."
Lixia finished the steamed cake in his hand in just a few bites. Although he still wanted to eat more, he gave up the idea when he saw the chicken, duck, fish and meat on the stove.
He had to save some space for the New Year's Eve dinner in the afternoon.
Looking at all that meat, he could imagine how sumptuous the New Year's Eve dinner would be.
Next, we will start preparing the dumpling filling for dinner. Today’s dumpling filling is cabbage and meat.
Thinking that there were still a lot of leeks in the house, she planned to cut some more leeks and make a leek and egg filling.
The family had a simple meal in the morning, and around two o'clock in the afternoon, they started preparing today's New Year's Eve dinner.
Today Zheng Xiaoman plans to make eight dishes, including fish with sauce, fried meatballs, braised rabbit meat, chicken stewed with mushrooms, braised pig's trotters, pork intestines with hot peppers, spicy eel, and a cold dish.
As for the dishes they make, no other restaurant in the whole village can compare to them.
