Chapter 231: Roasted Rice Cake

When Liu Pandi heard the nurse at the hospital say that Zhou Jingchen's parents had remitted 400 yuan, he thought Shen Xue had really hooked up with a rich husband. But after careful inquiries, he found out that the other person's parents used the 400 yuan to sever ties with her.

No wonder I had to go to the countryside. No wonder I have been there for so long without even a package. It turns out that I am really not liked by my family.

Even here, Shen Xue still expected Zhou Jingchen to live a good life, but he couldn't even eat wild vegetables.

"Does the Zhou family intend to stop caring about Zhou Jingchen?"

"That's what I mean."

Zhang Cuicui really didn't expect that the man Shen Xue carefully selected turned out to be a discarded pawn.

Life was already difficult for the educated youth who went to the countryside. If their family members didn't care, you can imagine how difficult their life would be.

What's more, Zhou Jingchen is a pretty boy who can't do anything. He has to rely on Shen Xue for everything. Shen Xue didn't marry a man, she married an ancestor and became a nanny.

Li Caixia taught her daughter again, "Xiaoqiu, you must keep your eyes open when looking for a man in the future. Don't be like Shen Xue, looking for a man in a pile of shit with your eyes open. If this woman marries the wrong man, her life will be ruined."

Shen Qiu was eating a roasted sweet potato in her hand. When she heard what her mother said, Shen Qiu turned around and said, "Mom, I know. I'll find whatever you want me to find."

Li Caixia turned her head and smiled when she saw her daughter eating. Girls of her daughter's age would blush, lower their heads and remain silent when talking about getting married. But her daughter was different. Not only did she not blush, she was actually quite happy.

Shen Shuyu was eating the chestnuts peeled by Gu Jiandong, thinking about something. The third aunt said that Shen Xue seemed a little strange when she woke up, so it might be that she was reborn.

The original plot did not say that Shen Xue would be reborn, but she was able to travel through time by herself, which changed a lot of the plot, so there is a high probability that Shen Xue also had some deviations.

Shen Shuyu was afraid that she had overlooked something, and kept thinking about the plot of the original novel. Gu Jiandong saw her frowning and holding her chin, and leaned over to her.

"Shu Yu, what are you thinking about? Why are you ignoring me?"

Shen Shuyu shook her head, "Nothing."

There are a lot of chestnuts at home, so when you take out the chestnuts to roast, you won't be reluctant. Now the racks are full of roasted chestnuts. Shen Shuyu is full, but Gu Jiandong keeps peeling them for her to eat.

"Gu Jiandong, you eat by yourself, I'm full."

Gu Jiandong had already eaten his fill, so he was keen on peeling chestnuts for Shen Shuyu to eat. Now that she was full, Gu Jiandong handed the peeled chestnuts to Old Man Shen and Old Lady Shen, "Grandpa Shen, Grandma Shen, you guys eat."

The two elders were so happy that they smiled happily, "Hey, good boy."

Chestnuts are soft and sticky. Old Man and Old Lady Shen also like to eat them, but they always leave them for their children. After roasting so many chestnuts, the old couple didn't eat much and just sat by the fire.

Just seeing the children eating so happily made the old couple happy.

Now Gu Jiandong gave them the peeled chestnuts, and the old couple smiled so happily.

Seeing this, Shen Jiabao, Jiawei and Jiaguo also peeled chestnuts for their grandparents to eat. The old couple couldn't stop smiling.

This is what hibernation is like. With nothing to do at home, you just roast some mountain products by the fire, chat, and the day passes in the blink of an eye.

Once you go out, it's very cold. No one wants to go out and most people stay at home.

Shen Shuyu basically stays in the kitchen every day after getting up. The whole family sits around the stove, chatting about gossip and eating chestnuts, sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc.

I am full and don’t have to cook at night.

It was time to prepare for the Chinese New Year. Old Lady Shen and the others were discussing what to buy for the New Year. Shen Qiu was the first to speak up, "Grandma, I want to eat meatballs and fried dough twists."

Shen Jiabao, "I want to eat meatballs, too."

The children at home all love meatballs, so Mrs. Shen agreed with a smile, "Then I'll make more this year."

Liu Pandi: "Can you make some rice cakes? Your grandson wants to eat them."

Old Mrs. Shen rolled her eyes at her third daughter-in-law and said, "I think you are just greedy and want to eat.

There is no glutinous rice at home. If you can get some, I will make it for you."

To make rice cakes, you need rice and glutinous rice, which are all fine grains. How can their family afford to make rice cakes?

They have a large family, and one or two of them can eat a lot, so no matter how much they eat, it won’t be enough.

Making rice cakes is a no-brainer.

After eating the rice cakes, Liu Pandi was really greedy, "Mom, can't we just take out some glutinous rice and rice and make rice cakes?

Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, what do you think? "

Zhang Cuicui, Li Caixia: "..."

When it comes to rice cakes, Shen Jiabao and Shen Qiu are also greedy and pester Zhang Cuicui and Li Caixia.

"Mom, I think what Third Aunt said is quite right."

"Grandma, I want to eat rice cakes."

Shen Shuyu also likes to eat rice cakes. Rice cakes are delicious whether they are fried or baked. "Grandma, why don't we make some this year?"

The children in the family all wanted to eat it, so Old Man Shen spoke up, "Old woman, if the children want to eat it, just make some. Follow what the third family said, and each family should bring out some glutinous rice and rice."

Rice cakes are made of fine grains, who wouldn't want to eat them? Old Mrs. Shen wanted to say that everyone had eaten rice cakes, so there was no need to make them, but when she saw the looks in her grandchildren's eyes, she thought for a while before nodding.

"Then make some."

When the family property was divided, each of the three families received a pound of glutinous rice and a pound of rice. These were all fine grains, and they were reluctant to eat them. They thought about waiting until the Chinese New Year to make some dumplings and steam some rice so that they could have something good to eat.

Now they talked about making rice cakes, and Zhang Cuicui and her friends each took out half a pound of glutinous rice and half a pound of rice.

Shen Chunling took out a pound of glutinous rice and a pound of rice as her mother asked.

They did what they said and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law started to work.

Shen Shuyu and the others didn't need to do these things. Shen Jiabao and the others said they wanted to do a thorough cleaning. Shen Shuyu went back to clean her own room. As soon as she picked up the broom, Gu Jiandong took it over.

"Shu Yu, go sit in my room first, I'll clean it up."

Shen Shuyu was pushed out of the door, and Gu Jiandong swept and wiped her room with a broom and a rag.

Fearing that she would be bored, Gu Jiandong sent Bai Luobo to play with Shen Shuyu.

White Radish held his little ball in his mouth, patted Shen Shuyu's leg with his paw, and signaled Shen Shuyu to play ball tossing with him.

Shen Shuyu played with Bai Luobo for half an hour and was exhausted. Gu Jiandong had just cleaned her room.

Shen Shuyu returned to the room. This kid was really meticulous in his work. After he cleaned her room, it was spotless and the window glass was wiped clean and shiny.

He also folded the quilt into tofu blocks.

Since she was not needed for any housework, Shen Shuyu was content to idle away her time at home, and she met Zhou Gong in her dream.

At night, she was woken up by Shen Chunling, "Shu Yu, the rice cakes are ready. Your grandma fried them. Get up and eat them."

Shen Jiabao and the others were already eating. When they saw Shen Shuyu coming out, eating rice cake, they said vaguely, "Come here, big sister."

Not much rice cake was fried, as it was to be eaten during the Chinese New Year. If it was eaten now, there would be no rice cake for the Chinese New Year. So Grandma Shen only fried half a pound and each family member had one piece to try.

Shen Shuyu ate a piece and her eyes lit up, "It's really delicious."
