Chapter 237 Sister-in-law, Sister-in-law 2, My Neck is Heavy

The big guys were carrying meat in their hands and food on their shoulders. Their faces were full of joy and they were all grinning.

After receiving the food, the snow fell heavier and heavier. Everyone had no time to chat and ran home one by one.

Shen Shuyu's family had a cart. The grain from the first, second and third rooms were all placed on the cart, and Uncle Shen and his three brothers pushed the grain back home together.

Old Mrs. Shen, her daughter, and her daughter-in-law followed behind the cart.

Shen Shuyu and Shen Qiu rode on the dog sled and returned home in a super cool way.

As for Gu Jiandong, he said he wanted to play outside and didn't want to go home.

Shen Shuyu ignored him.

When they got home, Shen Shuyu and the old lady put the grain in place, putting what should be put in the cellar and what should be put in the grain cabinet.

They still had a lot of food left this year, and Old Lady Shen's house could no longer hold it all. So they put all the food they received and bought this year in Shen Chunling's house.

Old Man Shen and Old Lady Shen looked at the bags of grain with smiles on their faces. They had experienced famine before. When they were hungry, they ate not only tree bark but even soil. It was truly a blessing from God that they could survive the famine.

For the old couple, as long as there is enough food at home, they don’t have to worry about anything.

Compared to money, bags of food in front of them can make them feel more at ease.

"Old man, don't you have some wood that can be used to make cabinets at home? Make a large cabinet for storing grain tomorrow and put it in Chunling's room."

Without a cabinet, people can see all the old grain as soon as they enter my daughter's room. I have to make a grain cabinet.

"I'll do it now." Whatever Mrs. Shen asked Old Man Shen to do, the old man never procrastinated and would do it immediately.

Shen Shuyu felt that men with strong execution ability like his grandfather were hard to find in the 21st century.

I tidied up here and there at home and half a day passed.

Old man Shen was busy building a cabinet with his eldest son in the yard. The cabinet he made was not as fine as the one made by the old carpenter, but it was usable.

Shen Chunling and the others didn't know what to do with the pig's stomach and offal, so they left them in the kitchen without moving. Shen Shuyu rolled up his sleeves and planned to clean the pig's stomach and offal.

Shen Chunling came out of the house and saw her niece was about to write about pig offal. She trotted to the kitchen and said, "Shu Yu, it's cold, you can just warm yourself by the fire. Second aunt will wash these."

These things are so smelly, how can I let my niece wash them? Besides, this child has never done any work, so how can she wash them?

Shen Shuyu was pushed to the stove by her second aunt. Shen Chunling shoveled a handful of wood ash into the wooden basin and began to clean the pig's stomach and offal.

Now when washing pig offal, no one is willing to use flour, a precious grain, to wash these stinky things.

Use wood ash to wash, which can effectively remove odors and wash cleanly.

Shen Shuyu watched her second aunt cleaning. After cleaning twice, it was very clean and there was no odor at all.

"Shuyu, now that you're clean, what are you going to do next?"

Shen Shuyu was planning to use the pig's stomach to make soup. In this weather, drinking a bowl of pig's stomach soup is the most appropriate thing to do, as it warms the stomach and is good for the body.

"Second aunt, don't worry about it. Leave it to me. I'll cook dinner for you tonight."

The eldest niece was very excited. Shen Chunling smiled and said, "Then the second aunt will wait for the meal."

Shen Shuyu went back to the house and took out some red dates. The ingredients were limited, so there were no yam or lotus seeds. There were only red dates and a little peppercorns.

Shen Shuyu blanched the pig's stomach, fished it out, cut it into strips, stir-fried it in a pot, put it in a casserole and simmered it slowly, added a few red dates and peppercorns, and then left it alone.

Shen Shuyu bought some marinade ingredients, which Grandma Shen and the others usually don’t use.

Fry the pig offal, take it out and wash it, fill the pot with water, put the pig offal into the pot, add the marinade ingredients, add appropriate amount of salt and soy sauce, add two handfuls of dried chilies, and braise on low heat for about an hour.

"Shu Yu, is this the end?"

"It's done, Auntie. Simmer over low heat. It will be ready to eat in an hour."

"Then you go and play, Second Aunt will stay here to watch the fire."

Everyone got their share of meat today. The first, second and third rooms were either stewing or frying the meat. The whole yard was filled with the aroma of meat.

Uncle Shen fulfilled his promise. The team slaughtered the New Year pig and bought a pig's trotter for Liu Pandi.

She was afraid that others didn't know that her husband had bought her a pig's trotter, so she carried the pig's trotter around the village and told everyone she met that her husband had bought her a pig's trotter and had just returned.

When he came back, the pig's trotter was hanging around his neck, and he turned around several times in front of Zhang Cuicui and Li Caixia.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, my neck is very heavy. Can you take a look at my neck to see if there is anything on it?"

Zhang Cuicui and Li Caixia: “…” What can it be? It’s just a pig’s trotter.

Other people hang necklaces around their necks, but she hangs pig's trotters. This is really something.

She wanted her two sisters-in-law to praise her. Zhang Cuicui and Li Caixia knew what she was thinking, but the two sisters-in-law refused to praise her. They looked left and right but didn't look at the pig's trotter hanging around her neck.

Liu Pandi: “…”

What kind of person is Liu Pandi? When Shen Xue was lying in the hospital with her eyes closed, she had to use her hands to force Shen Xue to open her eyes and look at her.

Her pig's trotters were hanging around her neck, and her two sisters-in-law had to look at her pig's trotters.

She held Zhang Cuicui's face with both hands and said, "Sister-in-law, look here, Xiangxi bought me some pig's trotters."

Zhang Cuicui: “…” Having a sister-in-law like this is really… I don’t know what to say.

Zhang Cuicui's face was held up by her hands, and she couldn't turn her face away even if she wanted to. What could she do? She just praised her pig's trotters.

"Hey, what's that hanging around your neck? Oh, it's a pig's trotter. Third brother bought you a pig's trotter. The trotter is so juicy. It will be delicious if you use it to make soup. Third brother really loves you."

Liu Pan was satisfied, so she loosened her grip and let her sister-in-law go. "Sister-in-law, I'll stew the pig's trotters later and give you a sip of the soup."

She looked at Li Caixia. Li Caixia was about to leave when Liu Pandi grabbed her and held her face with his hands. "Sister-in-law, my neck feels heavy. Can you check if there is something on it?"

Li Caixia: “……” Why is she forcing people to praise her?

Li Caixia: "Yes, it is a pig's trotter, white and plump. Second sister-in-law really envies you for having such a big pig's trotter."

Liu Pandi grinned, "Second sister-in-law, you have a very good eye. How did you notice that there was a pig's trotter hanging around my neck?"

Li Caixia: "..." (? _ ? )

Shen Shuyu was drinking water in the main room. She was so amused by her third aunt's action that she choked.

Uncle Shen covered his face and couldn't bear to look at her. He bought a pig's trotter, not a whole pig. This woman was really good at showing off. "Liu Pan, come here."

Liu Pandi: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I won't talk to you anymore. Xiangxi wants to stew pig's trotters for me."

Zhang Cuicui and Li Caixia: Who talked to her?
