Reborn in the 70s as a shrew

"Okay, you have a lot to do." Xu Maisui said as he walked out.

Because the island has sea breeze blowing every day, the winter here is colder. Not long after the twelfth lunar month, Xu Maisui moved the stove into the house.

The stoves here are the ones with briquettes in them. In order to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, Xu Maisui would leave a crack at the door at night.

Xu Maisui, the three of them at home, didn't have to go to the kitchen to cook, she could just grab a pot and cook on the stove.

When she first got up, she opened the stove door. When she picked up the hot water kettle, she saw that the fire was already coming.

Braving the snow, I ran to the kitchen, moved all the necessary things into the main room, and started busy cooking.

Lin Xiao and Lin Fan, who were woken up, did not go back to sleep. They were afraid of the cold and stayed in bed unwilling to get up. It was not until the smell of the food spread that the two children had to get up, and then they reluctantly climbed out of bed.

"Mom, your egg soup is too fragrant." Lin Xiao couldn't help but said while looking at the egg soup that was cooked aside.

Xu Maisui was currently frying egg pancakes and took a moment to glance at Lin Xiao and replied: "I'll get the water for you two. Don't go out, just wash in the house."

Because the weather was cold, the water tank would also freeze, so as soon as the temperature dropped, Lin Jianye moved the water tank in, and the well outside was wrapped tightly with straw to keep it warm.

But when the temperature is too low, these things will also freeze. Every time they freeze, Lin Jianye boils hot water and boils them in a kettle.

After hearing this, Lin Xiao and Lin Fan didn't show any restraint. They ran to their room to get toothbrushes and brushed their teeth in the basin.

Lin Fan obediently brushed his teeth and strictly followed the steps taught by Xu Maisui. He brushed his teeth exactly like the boy selling toothpaste on TV. Lin Xiao had a bad temper. He brushed a few times in a hurry and spit out a few mouthfuls of water. Even if he finished brushing, he didn't know that he was fooling around every day. who.

Xu Maisui baked the cakes and served them. Lin Xiao and Lin Fan also finished washing and walked over together, sitting on the table and waiting for their meal.

Xu Maisui served them soup and said to them, "Eat it."

I couldn't keep their mouths shut during the meal, just like A Hundred Thousand Whys, they kept asking questions.

"Mom, when will my uncle come back? I miss him so much."

Xu Maisui glanced at him calmly while eating, "Do you miss your brother-in-law, or do you miss your brother-in-law's things?"

Lin Xiao grinned, "Hey, I want it all."

To be honest, Xu Maisui was also a little worried. Lin Jianjun had been gone for several days and there was no sign of his return.

"When the snow stops, I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative and ask."

The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Lin Jianjun went out to buy new year's goods. Logically speaking, he would have to be back in the next two days.

Lin Xiao didn't ask after hearing this. Instead, Lin Fan asked Xu Maisui, "Mom, when will dad come back?"

Lin Jianye's actions were kept secret every time. Except when he would come back from a business trip, nothing was said.

"do not know."

"You miss him?"

Lin Fan shook his head, "I don't want to."

If his dad isn't home, they don't have to exercise at night. Unlike his brother, he's not a torment maniac.

During the period when Lin Jianye was not at home, Lin Xiao still insisted on exercising every day. Xu Maisui saw what it meant to truly like him.

The three mothers watched Xue finishing her meal slowly around the stove. Xu Maisui filled them with water and asked them to wash the dishes, while she went to the kitchen to work.

The Chinese New Year is coming up in two days, so she has to fry the crispy vegetables in advance.

"Lin Xiao, can you help mom light the fire at home today?" Xu Maisui popped his head out of the kitchen and asked.

Lin Xiao replied without thinking: "Yes."

At this time, Lin Fan also came forward and said, "Mom, I can help too."

Xu Maisui: "Okay."

Because frying crispy vegetables requires a stove fire, they had to run to both sides of the house and kitchen, so Xu Maisui took a broom and swept out a path in the yard for them to walk.

Maybe because I knew the Chinese New Year was coming, the snow had no intention of stopping at all. Instead, it was getting heavier and heavier.

Fortunately, Xu Maisui bought everything at the supply and marketing cooperative yesterday, so she didn't have to run there.

I took out the lotus roots, potatoes, sweet potatoes, radishes, ribs, meat, prawns, fish... I cut them into strips and cubes. I worked all morning to get everything done.

Although Xu Maisui didn't cook at noon, she wanted to fry crispy vegetables and eat them while frying.

The husband let Lin Xiao watch while he cooked the oil, and he went to test the temperature of the oil. When he felt it was OK, he put the crispy vegetables in it.

There was a basin in front of her, with lotus root boxes, potatoes, and sweet potatoes all wrapped in them and fried.

She wrapped it and put it into the pot, and the fragrance wafted out after a while.

Zhang Cuihua, who was next door, was also making crispy dishes. When she smelled the aroma coming from Xu Maisui's house, she couldn't help but complain: "This prodigal woman must have put in a big pot of oil again."

After hearing this, Jinfeng casually replied: "Mom, let's put more oil in?"

Because Zhang Cuihua was reluctant to add oil, her crispy dishes looked like fried dishes. Not only did they not look good, they also had no aroma.

After hearing this, Zhang Cuihua immediately scolded angrily: "What are you doing? If you don't know what our family is like, how can we give it to you?"

“You eat this meal and you’re hungry the next meal.”

After hearing this, Jin Feng curled her lips in aggrieved tone, "How come we are all group leaders? Uncle Lin's family can eat so well, but our family's food is so poor."

Don't tell me that Zhang Cuihua also thought about this issue at the beginning, and even told Chen Yue secretly.

Who would have thought that as soon as I said a few words, I would be scolded back. The reason why people dare to eat like this is because there are two earners in their family.

Lin Jianye earns wages and Xu Maisui earns food. They don't lack anything, so why don't they dare to eat like this?

In fact, Xu Maisui wouldn't dare to live like this just relying on her salary. Who allowed her to have a side job, which could supplement her at any time, and she also got a lot of money from Mrs. Lin, which was enough for her to live for a while.

"If people have money and a job, of course they can eat whatever they want."

After hearing this, Jinfeng immediately had an idea, "Mom, how about you find a job too?"

Zhang Cuihua has been a housewife for half her life, and it can be said that she is full of repulsion towards going out to work.

Hearing Jin Feng say this, his face suddenly dropped, "You really know how old your brother is, who will watch when I'm at work?"

Jin Feng curled his lips, "The Lin Fan next door is not the same age as him, why don't I have to look at him?"

Zhang Cuihua looked at the selfish girl who had been spoiled by the old lady, and replied angrily: "Since you want to go to work, then go ahead."

"When your father comes back tonight, I will tell her to find a job for you to support the family. Then we can eat meat every day."

Chen Jinfeng immediately became angry after hearing this, "Why should I go to work? How old am I? I still have to go to school."

Zhang Cuihua's face sank, "Why can't you go to work? How old are you? How long do you want to stay home and eat and drink for free?"

"Besides, why does a little girl go to school so much? She shouldn't eat or drink."
