STEPMOM OF MY CHILDREN AND MY SECOND WIFE

chapter 4 careful thoughts

Dong Jia took half of the gourd rice with a homemade gourd scoop. she picked six sweet potatoes from the corner of the wall and washed them at the edge of the well. she cut the damaged areas with a knife and cut them into blocks for later use. After the rice was washed, the rice was washed. Put it into the pot with the sweet potatoes, add an appropriate amount of water and cover the pot.

The preparation work went smoothly. It was the time to start the fire,

After this incident, the bell rang again, and the time had passed by half an hour.

After cooking the rice, Dong Jia went to the vegetable field again, picked a cabbage from the vegetable field, pinched a half bamboo basket and washed it with well water after choosing a good vegetable. She didn’t know use oil or not...it's been three years she leave this house

... and now she need to asked her sister-in-laws....about everything.. because she don't want interfere with their work...

so she put the cleaned vegetables in the kitchen and waited for Chen Guixiang to come back to cook.

At eleven o'clock, Chen Guixiang returned from the field first. There was also a time for to go to work, from eight in the morning to 12 noon.

When Chen Guixiang came back to see her daughter got up from the bed, she cooked meals for everyone. She was afraid that the daughter would not be able to perform well, and she was also happy for her thoughtful and sensible daughter.

"im coming back in a hurry, why are you making a meal?"

Dona Jia : "I'm done with the meal mother ... I already washed the vegetables and wait for you to come back to make them."

Chen Guixiang opened the lid of the pot, and saw the white rice mixed with sweet potatoes in the pot. The appetite was not too much and it was not good. she nodded in satisfaction.

"Very good, you're done, let me quick fry the vegetables"

She turned around and took out a small bowl of river prawns from the cupboard.

These were cooked prawns that had been oiled, and put them in when they were about to fry the leeks.

In addition to the shrimp,The Chinese cabbage was fried .."

Dong Jia has seen the power of mothers cooking When she was a child, her grandmother used to make  noodles for her. She was such a small person and could eat a whole bowl every time. Grandma liked to watch her eat and talk to her. Everything she eat becomes more fragrant.

When Chen Guixiang was cooking vegetables, Dong Jia burned the fire, and secretly observed Chen Guixiang's cooking techniques, and planned to follow her to help

The old stove started to cook very quickly, the pot was hot, and the dishes were cooked in two times. The fragrant smell spread in the air. After cooking, Chen Guixiang took two more eggs from the cupboard and beat them.

After adding some chopped green onion and salt, put the bowl directly in the rice pot and steam it.

Daewoo Village gathers water in front of it and backs on the mountain, which is a very suitable place for survival.
As the old saying goes,

"Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to drink water"

Therefore, the most valuable part of this meal is the two eggs. In these years, the eggs can be exchanged in price. The supply and marketing cooperatives have specialized in collecting eggs. Five cents per egg is the money that rural people can get by themselves in addition to work points. Very precious.

she remembered  that Lu family always eating a bowl of white rice and a bowl of scrambled eggs are also excellent, which makes the villagers envious of life. Of course, even if the Lu family has white rice and scrambled eggs, but she never get good food to eat.

Nearly twelve o’clock, the Dong family came back from the farm one after another.

"Jia is getting up, is her health better?"

The question was Dong Jia's sister-in-law Zhou Yindi, who was Dong Jia's eldest brother Dong Aihua's wife.

Zhou Yindi gave birth to her eldest nephew Huzi and Dong’s only girl, Tianniu.

She has a square face and a very angry temper. She is Chen Guixiang’s most proud daughter-in-law.

When whole family are all together, they will eat. The men have a big appetite because they work hard in farm....  Each person has a large bowl of rice and sweet potatoes. Women's bowls are smaller, and children's bowls are smaller.

Chen Guixiang took a spoon and dug a spoonful of steamed eggs for Tianniu and Xiaoman, and a spoonful for Dong Jia

After three spoons were dug out, there was nothing left in the bowl.

Chen Guixiang handed the bowl to her husband Dong Dagui.

Dong Dagui shook his head. Naturally, his son and daughter-in-law were not embarrassed to grab the remaining steamed eggs, so Chen Guixiang scraped the corners of the bowl.

To the youngest grandson Xiaoman.
, the second daughter-in-law, felt a little uneasy. Her two sons, Hammer and Junzi, went to school and were not at home, which means that today's eggs not for her son's  to eat...

Liu Xiuyun was extremely frustrated.
In fact, Dong Jia had understand Liu Xiuyun's heart, but she kept suppressing the careful thoughts in her heart.

At first, she felt that the divorced woman who was kicked out by her in-laws was very pitiful.

She sympathized with her sister-in-law. Later, Dong Jia jumped into the river again and was dying to be carried back. Liu Xiuyun's sympathy for her reached its peak.

However, everything in this world follows the law of "things must be reversed, and when they are full, they will lose." After this sympathy reaches its peak, it begins to decline a little bit.

Even if she pretends to be generous for the time being, she still cares about it in her heart.

What Liu Xiuyun thought in her heart is  why she can’t eat an egg, but Dong Jia...an woman who has been married once... divorce woman now. Not only did she lie on the bed all day and didn't do anything, but she also had to provide delicious food.
