Siheyuan: When I became the control group of Qin Huairu

But more and more children gathered in the yard. While playing snowball fights, they did not forget to look in the direction of Yang Hehua's house, and swallowed their saliva.

Mrs. Zhou was busy preparing dinner, so she naturally heard the noisy noises.

Mrs. Zhou also smelled the fragrance that was floating in the air before. Although she was greedy, she didn't do anything.

There is only less than a month left until the Chinese New Year.

By then every household will have meat to eat.

As for lard residue, forget about it. There are only two pieces of lard on a pig. This stuff is very popular and often has no price.

Zhou Qi had just returned from school. As a first-grade student, she was doing her homework.

Smelling the greasy smell, Zhou Qi, who was holding the pencil, didn't want to move. A lot of saliva in his mouth was secreted, and he swallowed it from time to time.

"Nuo - finish this before doing your homework."

Suddenly, a steaming baked potato appeared in front of Zhou Qi. Zhou Qi was already very greedy, and when he saw the baked potato, he didn't care whether it was hot or not, and immediately took it in his hand: "Thank you, Mom... Oh my - it's so hot!"

Zhou Qi, who was badly scalded, quickly put the baked potato on the bench he had just sat on, quickly touched his earlobe with sign language, and blew towards the baked potato from time to time.

I was trying to cool down this still hot baked potato.

Mrs. Zhou couldn't help laughing when she saw her daughter's behavior. She reached out and touched her little head, then went back to her own business.

The yard was getting increasingly noisy. Inside the house, Yang Hehua was cutting potato shreds with a frown on her face. As for the rabbit they caught yesterday, Xiuxiu and Manman said they wanted to keep it for fun and wait a week before eating it. Yang Hehua nodded in agreement.

Just like the last time, the two little girls raised minnows and ate them after they lost their novelty after a month.

Now there is no such thing as whether or not you have developed feelings for an animal. For Xiuxiu and Manman, these things are new to them and they are new to them. They just raise them for fun and can eat them when they want.

Supplies are scarce, and for them, these are just edible things that they just need to keep them alive first.

Just like the two chickens in the chicken coop, they are kept now because they are still laying eggs. If they stop laying eggs, they can be eaten.

Their value is to be eaten.

"Mom, there are a lot of people playing snowball fights outside!" Xiuxiu just took a look at the window and walked over to say.

Without raising her head or stopping her hands, Yang Hehua asked, "Xiu Xiu, do you want to go out and play?"

Yang Hehua originally thought that Xiuxiu came over to play, but Xiuxiu's answer surprised her.

"No, Mom - I just ate and don't want to move!" Xiuxiu shook her head. Although she was young, she did know everything.

Before Xiao Qian came, whenever someone in the yard cooked meat, the kids would go over to play. Xiuxiu also went to join in the fun, but she didn't go because she wanted to eat other people's food. She went because it was fun to have more people around.

But the family that was being watched didn't think so. The old lady even came out to chase them away, cursing at them. Xiuxiu was no exception and was scolded as well.

Thinking of the scene where the old lady was scolding people, Xiuxiu didn't know why she felt a little pity for the old lady, because she saw clearly that the old lady didn't want to come out to chase people away, but the old grandfather of that person's family glared at the old lady fiercely, and the old lady nodded timidly, and then she seemed like a different person, and came out to chase people away in a very fierce manner.

So Xiuxiu didn't have a very good impression of the old grandfather in that family. Just now, when she was leaning on the window and looking outside, she also saw that the old grandfather's grandchildren had all come.

"Okay! Then you just stay here and watch how mom cooks!" Yang Hehua smiled at her and continued to cut potato shreds.

The pickled vegetables at home are basically ready to eat. Yang Hehua plans to use this wood-fired stove to cook rice with some crusty rice. The rice they ate before was made by Xiao Qian, but the method was different.

Xiao Qian's method of cooking rice is to boil it for a few minutes and then steam it. The first half of Yang Hehua's method is exactly the same as Xiao Qian's, which is to boil the rice first, and when it is half-cooked, start to scoop out the rice soup and put it in a large bowl.

Then use a spatula to shape the half-cooked rice into a small mountain shape, cover the pot with a lid, and use a clean rag or slightly wet gauze to block the edge of the lid to block the steam. Then turn down the heat to low. In less than two minutes, the low fire will turn into a charcoal fire. Use this temperature to slowly bake the bottom of the pot.

After Xiao Qian followed her sister-in-law Yang Hehua's instructions and turned off the fire, she put a few sweet potatoes in, covered them with hot ashes, and just waited.

When Qin Huairu came into the courtyard after get off work, she was frightened by the children playing and fighting in the front yard.

Why are there so many people all of a sudden?!

After walking a few steps forward, she saw her son Banggeng squatting in the corridor leading out of the front yard from the middle courtyard, looking towards Widow Hehua's house. The little expression on his face made Qin Huairu nervous all of a sudden.

Without saying a word, he walked over, picked him up, and walked home.

"Oh my god!"

"Why are you hugging me!?"

"I'm still waiting for that unlucky guy to come out and give me some lard to eat!!"

Bang Geng was moving vigorously in Qin Huairu's arms. Qin Huairu almost couldn't hold him anymore. She gritted her teeth and used all her strength to prevent Bang Geng from falling out of her arms: "Bang Geng, did the widow He Hua come out to eat lard residue today!?"

"No!" Bang Geng shook his head. "But I heard from Yan Jiekuang and the others that they might come out. As long as we make more noise, they will definitely come out to give it to us."

After hearing this, Qin Huairu threw Banggeng on the kang and poked his forehead with a look of disappointment. Banggeng cried out in pain.

"Great! Did you count how many children were in the yard just now? Even if they were generous, could they be generous to this extent?"

Qin Huairu just took a rough look and found that there were at least twenty children in the front yard. Among them were faces she was familiar with, such as Liu Guangfu from the Liu family in the backyard, the three siblings from the Yan family in the front yard, and some children from the east and west yards.

There are more than twenty mouths here. If we share the lard scraps, even if each person gets one, there will be more than twenty lard scraps.

How could the Lotus Widow be so generous! ?

This is impossible even to think about.

With so much lard to share, wouldn't it be nice to eat it at home? ?

I will only split up if I have a brain tumor!!

Qin Huairu was so sure that Banggeng, who was only thinking about eating lard residue, also understood. Jia Dongxu listened to the side and did not comment on the matter. He just glanced at Qin Huairu seriously and said, "Huairu, I'm hungry, go cook!"

Jia Dongxu's words made Banggeng, who was about to lose his temper, suddenly calm down!

But what Banggeng is thinking about now is the piece of lard he didn’t get to eat!

His heart is full of resentment!

Not only to Yang Hehua's family, but also to his own parents Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu!

It’s all because of their uselessness that I can’t even have a bite of lard residue!

Banggeng was lying on the kang, his eyes filled with resentment wherever he looked.

If only grandma were here!

For Banggeng, his grandmother, Jia Zhang, is the best person in the family to him.

If grandma is at home, if someone in the yard has meat and I want to eat meat, grandma will get it for me!

Banggeng didn't think that was a tantrum, instead he thought that grandma Jia Zhang was capable!

It’s totally different now, where all we eat every day is cornmeal steamed bread and cornmeal porridge, which not only makes our throats dry, but also doesn’t taste like meat!

Bang Geng felt more and more that the life that Yang Hehua's family was living now was the life that he, Young Master Bang Geng, should live.

His eyes rolled around as Bang Geng was thinking about how he could eat the delicious meat.

Jia Dongxu lay on the kang with a gloomy face and didn't say a word. His legs would hurt badly in the early morning. The pain and itching made him unable to sleep.

It didn't hurt much during the day, but Jia Dongxu didn't sleep well at night, so he used the daytime to make up for the sleep.

But time is reversed, and the quality of sleep during the day is not as good as at night. The lack of sleep quality has caused Jia Dongxu's mood to be unstable.

Especially now that Qin Huairu has taken over Jia Dongxu's job at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, Jia Dongxu feels so uncomfortable sitting at home and eating free meals!

Qin Huairu's face is now quite damaged, but as a man, Jia Dongxu knows that his wife has a good figure and her appearance will be restored in a short time. By then, it is still unknown whether Qin Huairu, who has a job, will dislike him.

Thinking of this, Jia Dongxu made up his mind and made a decision!

If Qin Huairu dares to do anything to let me down, I will send her to the West to see the Buddha!

In their Jia family, there have always been widows, but no divorces!

----forecourt----

The group of children waiting to eat lard residue almost stared through the windows of Yang Hehua's house, but the door of the house was never opened from beginning to end.

Yang Hehua had no problem understanding the plans of the children in the courtyard, but she was not a lenient person. Although she should be tolerant of the children, it was none of her business! ?

Most of the people in their courtyard are arrogant, so this topic cannot be opened!

Wouldn’t it be delicious to use the lard residue at home to stir-fry cabbage? ?

Xiuxiu and Manman were very careful about the things at home. Although they would sometimes share them with the kids they played with well, today, the two young girls knew what they were here for.

If each person eats one, there won't be much lard left in the bowl.

Besides, their mother Yang Hehua just said that she would make them pork lard dumpling buns tomorrow morning. Just hearing the name sounded delicious, so how could Xiuxiu and Manman not nod their heads.

As for Xiaobao, he has no idea what children are like. Apart from playing with his sisters, his aunt feeds him delicious food. When he hears his mother Yang Hehua say that something is delicious, he will smile.

For dinner, we had stir-fried shredded potatoes, cabbage with lard residue, shredded sour radish fried with lard, and egg custard.

Ever since Yang Hehua started feeding her two chickens with corn kernels grown on the farm and well water, the two chickens would each lay two eggs every day, so egg custard has become an indispensable dish on the table every day.

The people at the table were eating enthusiastically, and Yang Hehua would feed Xiaobao from time to time.

In the end, some of the children in the yard were forced to leave by their parents, pulling their ears.

Listening to the crying and yelling, Yang Hehua smiled faintly and asked the few people who had stopped eating to continue eating.

This is the kind of trouble that comes with living too close. Thinking about the buildings in later generations, Yang Hehua calculated the money she had and thought that buying a few courtyard houses would not be a problem.

But buying so many courtyard houses at this time is a bit too ostentatious.

Yang Hehua thought that she had to wait for a good opportunity!
