The third day is the time for Xu Cao to return home. The two of them got up early in the morning. Xu Cao made breakfast. After everyone had finished breakfast, they were busy cleaning up the kitchen. Seeing Fugui was putting an egg outside. Put one in the basket.
Xu Cao pursed her mouth, wiped her hands, and stepped forward to help, "I'm here, you go and see what else you want to bring, we won't be back at midday, or else bring Miao Miao with you. "
Fugui grinned, "Yes, then I'll bring Miaomiao over."
The three of them went to Xu Cao's natal house, carrying a basket of eggs, and a mountain jump the day before yesterday. It's fat and big, and looks like eight or nine catties.
This is still the first time Miao Miao has gone out, and she is very novel, lying in the middle of Fugui arm, and taking a look.
But they said that after they left, Niu stood in the courtyard for a long time with ink stains, and saw that everyone didn't pay attention to her, and then sneaked into Fugui and Xu Cao's room. When she was about to push the door in, she heard of Shen’s voice behind , "Third sister in law, don’t grab the honeycomb and rock candy. You don’t know how big brothers are, baby sisters, those things are all useful for sisters-in-law. If you eat it secretly, eldest brother gets angry, we can't help you."
Shen said, laughing ironically, and she doesn't know what's going on with the third brother, why he fancy such a lazy woman.
Niu's face was blue and white when Shen said that she turned around and stared at Shen bitterly, but knew that she was wrong, said nothing, and walked outside the door angrily.
Heizi and Xiaobai were lying outside the courtyard, and the two native dogs glanced at her. Niu's heart was frustrated, and she glared at Heizi and Xiaobai. Heizi didn't dare to provoke him, and Xiaobai was not afraid. Niu was angry in her heart and felt that everything was Xu Cao's fault. If it hadn't been for the eldest brother to marry Xu Cao, all those good things would be hers.
The more she thought about it, the more angry she got, and she kicked her foot towards Xiaobai. Apart from his own owner and Heizi, Xiaobai was not afraid of anyone. Seeing something kicked over, without thinking, he bit into it. Heizi raised his eyelids and closed them again.
Xiaobai's bite was so cruel, the painful Niu cried. Called out the Yang family.
Niu’s eyes were in pain and tears. Seeing her husband came out, he limped over, and started sobbing and crying, "My husband, you are going to be the master of me, the dog brought by sister-in-law actually bites. this biting dog can’t be kept in our family. I think it’s better to kill this dog. Otherwise, what should we do if it bite a passing person?"
Chen's words also echoed: "His father, What's the matter with this old man, the dog that bit the person was not killed sooner, and it was brought to our house. I think it is better to kill the dog while she is away."
The Yang family did not speak. The Shen stared at the Niu, and said: "Mother, this dog can't speak, we can't wrong it. I clearly saw that the third sister in law kicked the little white dog first."
As soon as the words came out, Yang Datong, the third member of the Yang family, was a little displeased. He frowned and glanced at Niu, and said, "Tuier, this is your fault. Why are you having trouble with a dog? If eldest brother and sister-in-law know, What do they think? I’ll be embarrassed. Let’s forget about it today, and I’ll accompany you to the town to get some medicine later. I can’t let the older brother and sister-in-law know about this.”
Country folks know that watchdogs can’t be casual. Besides, no one dared to kick the guard dog casually.
Niu's tears fell upon hearing the words.
Shen glanced at Niu, only to think that this woman was really stupid.
Father Yang also frowned and waved his hand, "It's all gone, let's go to the field and break the corn soon, the third child, you take your wife to the town to have a look. It's such an irreconcilable thing. I've done it all, she's really confused."
The big guy just broke up, and Yang Datong also borrowed a bullock cart and took his indifferent daughter-in-law to town.
They were originally from the same village. Xu Cao and the three of them soon came to Xu’s house. Old Niang Xu squatted at the door. When she saw her girl and son-in-law, she hurriedly stood up and shouted at the house. Said: "His father, his father, come out quickly, the girl is back."
Following that, Old Xu and Xu Jia Er Ya, San Ya also came out. Seeing their sister, Er Ya San Ya hurried over.
A few people entered the house, Xu Lao Niang hurriedly poured a few bowls of boiled water over, smiled and said to Fugui: "Fugui, are you thirsty, drink some water soon."
Fugui grinned, and not polite, then he carried a big bowl. He drank it and said, "Thank you, mother, I'm not thirsty anymore."
Xu Cao couldn't help laughing when she saw him like this.
When Miao Miao came for the first time, she looked strangely tight and looked around. Xu Cao thought that Xiao Shan was about the same size as Miao Miao, so she carried Miao Miao into the back room and let the two children play on the kang.
Xu looked at the eldest girl and her son-in-law being happy, and secretly pulled Xu Cao into the kitchen, and whispered: "Big girl, is he okay with you? I looked at people, although he were a little stupid and temperamental. It should be quite sincere."
Xu Cao smiled and said, "Mother, he is very good to me." Then, she hurriedly handed the basket in her hand to Aunt Xu, "This is the wild egg he picked up on the mountain, and he brought it back specially. For you to eat, as well as the wild rabbit, you also stay and eat, to make up for Erya, sanya and Xiaoshan, don't take these things to the town and sell them."
Aunt Xu glanced across Xu Cao. Muttered: "I know, don't worry, keep it for Xiaoshan and the others, and I won't take them to the town to sell."
Xu Cao said again: "Don't always give Xiaoshan all the good things to eat. , Er Ya and San Ya should treat them better."
"You damn girl, still preaching to your old mother." Aunt Xu couldn't get through her face, and wanted to pull Xu Cao's ears, thinking that her son-in-law was still outside, so she held her hand. Put it down, "Come on, I know it, no need for you to remind. By the way, big girl, why so good with that daughter? It's not your own birth, let's say, you will give birth to a baby in the future, then What about the girl doll? Hey, it would be great if you didn't have this oil bottle."
She said, sighed.
Xu Cao hurriedly said, "Mother, what are you talking about? Miao Miao is very good and cute. I take her as my own daughter. I love her, and she will treat me well in the future."
Aunt Xu laughed loudly, nodded Xu Cao’s head, and said with a smile: "You damn girl, how old are you, give back to your own girl, you don’t have to talk too bashfully."
Xu Cao laughed. "I'm married, so what's the embarrassment."
Aunt Xu also laughed, as long as the son-in-law treats her daughter well.
Fugui and Xu Cao stayed for dinner at noon. Aunt Xu's craftsmanship is really not covered, a scrambled egg with chives and a hare stewed with mushrooms. Xu Cao, who eats, sighs that her old lady is eccentric. She doesn't cook with such good cooking skills on weekdays, and always lets her cook.
However, Xu Cao's craftsmanship is not bad. She has obtained the true biography of Xu Lao Niang since she was a child, plus the recipes of the previous life, and the cooking has a lot of tricks and the taste is good.
After dinner, Xu Cao wanted to go back to get her grape jam earlier. After talking to Mr Xu and Mrs. Xu, the three of them went back first.
After returning, the Niu was alone at home. Xu Cao saw her walking limping, and asked worriedly: "Third sisters, what's wrong with you?"
Niu couldn't tell , so she glared at Xu Cao. Angrily said: "Is it possible to fall accidentally? You don't need to be kind!"
"I just care about you."
After that, she returned to the room with the sleeping Miao Miao, and covered Miao Miao with the bedding, Xu Cao Came to the kitchen with a big sack of grapes. Fugui didn't have much to do today, so he rubbed in front of Xu Cao, "Wife do you want me to help?"
"Then you help me clean these grapes."
Fugui wondered, "Wife, is this thing called grapes? We are all. Called her Purple Fruit."
Xu Cao was also very puzzled. There is no historical record of the place she came across. There are still general vegetable crops here, but there is no fruit. It's just that there are some wild grapes, wild pears, wild peaches and other fruits in the mountains. But they all have no names, and the big guys call them wild fruits.
Fugui saw his wife in a daze, and hurriedly asked again. Xu Cao returned to her senses and said with a smile: "I just called it from a book. Okay, go and help me wash all of these. We will make jam later."
The two worked together to wash out all the wild grapes, and then peeled all the grape skins. The wild grapes are all ripe, and the skin and the grape flesh are separated when they are squeezed.
Xu Cao hurriedly boiled the grape skins in a large pot with water, waited until the juice in the pot was purple-red, then turned off the fire, took out the grape skins, and squeezed out the juice inside. This grape has thick skin, otherwise it can be added to make jam.
Then pour the grape pulp and the purple-red juice into the pot and boil it. When it boils, the pulp inside is almost boiled. Xu Cao quickly fetched clean white gauze and filtered the grape seeds inside. . Then it boiled again. After boiling, the fire in the stove subsided, leaving only a low fire. Add rock sugar and honey to the pot, then stir constantly, and stir until the sauce is thick.
The first pot of grape jam was out. Xu Cao found a clean porcelain jar and put it in. After a bite, it tasted sweet and sour. Compared to her previous life, it tasted better, probably because grapes and bees are natural. Yes, there is no reason for pollution.
Fugui also took a bite, boasting that the food made by his wife is delicious.
Xu Cao left two bowls for his family to taste, and sealed the rest. After busy working all afternoon, the sack of wild grapes only got two clay pots of grape sauce.
As soon as the second pot came out, Niu was cheeky, limped in, and sniffed, "Big Brother, Sister-in-law, what do you made, it smells so fragrant?"
