Chapter 206 Making Pork Ribs and Corn Soup

Liu Dali called out, "Xiaoyan, grandma is downstairs, talking to the aunts."

He said this not only to Shen Guyan, but also to Ji Wenhe.

Hearing that Xie Fenglian was at the foot of the mountain, she immediately stopped and put the meat behind her.

Could this person be here to see if Shen Guyan has anything to send?

You know what, she actually guessed it right.

Xie Fenglian knew that the three of them got along well, so she made a special trip to their two homes and even carried the basket with her. It was hard not to be suspicious.

Lan Qiuhua was holding needle and thread, looking at the person in front of her who was stretching his head to look up, and rolled her eyes in disgust.

Shen Guyan put away the smile on his face and walked to the steps: "Grandma."

She nodded slightly, her tone unable to tell whether she was happy or angry: "I'm done talking."

"Well, let's go back. The family who borrowed the ox cart is still waiting to use the cart, so we won't stay any longer."

Liu Dali said goodbye to Shen Rongshan and came to Xie Fenglian: "Grandma, Xiaoyan and I will go back first and come back another day."

"Hey, come often. We're not far away. Come back and visit us more often."

He smiled and greeted the people in the shed, then walked towards the village entrance.

After the three of them walked away, Wang Erfeng pouted and said, "Come often, do you mean they come often in person, or do you mean they come often with things?"

"Look how anxious she is. If you don't know, you might think Gu Yan sent some big gift to their family."

"She is like that, you know that."

Lan Qiuhua promised Shen Guyan not to tell anyone about her sending the meat.

Ji Wenhe looked at the pound of pork in his hand and asked Shen Rongshan who was walking over, "Refine it or roast it?"

"How much oil is left at home?"

"There is still half a pottery jar." Yue Zhong refined half a pound of fatty pork.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Why not fry half a pound and refine the other half into oil?"

"Okay, you decide." Shen Rongshan picked up the branches on the ground and piled them under the shed.

He brushed off the sawdust on his body and said to the people in the kitchen, "Wen He, I'm going to the mountain to chop firewood."

"Hey, I see."

Ji Wenhe cut the meat into two halves, put one half on the table inside the house to refine oil tomorrow, and cooked the other half with beans in the evening.

After she had pickled the pickles, she squatted at the kitchen door to wash corn when she suddenly saw a pair of feet appear in front of her. She was so scared that she almost screamed.

She looked up and saw Shen Suya, looking at her with a smile.

"Xiao Ya, do you know that scaring people can kill them? How come you walk without making any sound?"

"Sister-in-law, I wanted to scare you." Seeing that she was really scared by him, he quickly said in a flattering way, "Okay, okay, I won't scare you like this next time."

He brought the bowl to her and said, "Gu Yan gave our family a pound of fat pork, and my mother asked me to give you half a pound."

Ji Wenhe carefully plucked the tassels from the corn and said, "She also gave us a pound of corn. You can take it back."

She put the bowl on the table and said, "That won't work. My mother asked me to bring it here, and if I take it back, won't I get scolded?"

"Just tell me I have some at home. How can we eat all that much meat? Take it back and make oil from it."

"By the way, leave the bowl here. I'll make bone soup at home tonight and send you two bowls."

Shen Suya's eyes lit up, and her mouth unconsciously secreted saliva. She refused: "Sister-in-law, you can keep it for yourself. Mother will also roast meat tonight."

She really wanted to drink bone soup, but was too embarrassed to say it out loud.

Ji Wenhe raised his eyes to look at her and said with a smile: "You don't want to drink bone soup."

"Want to drink."

"If you want to drink it, please help me wash the corn. The whiskers are too difficult to clean."

Shen Suya picked up a corn and said, "Sister-in-law, are five corns enough?"

Corn bone soup is very flavorful.

She put down the corn in her hand and stood up: "Sister-in-law, I'll go to my field and pick some corn. Wait for me."

"Hey wait a minute..."

Looking at the person who disappeared in a flash, he shook his head helplessly.

She wanted to tell her that the corn should not be cooked as a whole, but should be chopped into two or three halves before being put in to cook.

However, the corn in their garden was too small and could only be chopped into two sections.

Shen Suya ran down the mountain and passed by the shed: "Mom, I'm going to my field to pick some corn for my sister-in-law."

"Go ahead and pick up the good ones."

"Got it."

Lan Qiuhua knew that their family had bought bones and was going to make corn and bone soup in the evening.

Looking up, Shen Wenshan was knitting skillfully: "Wenshan, I see you have gained a lot of weight."

"No, you've gained weight. You're not like before, you were so skinny that only bones were left."

"I don't deliver food, I eat three meals a day at home, the dishes are oily and delicious."

He himself could feel that a lot of flesh had grown on his arms.

"Your sister-in-law is a capable woman. Your eldest brother is lucky to marry her."

Sometimes she would wonder why Ji Wenhe was not her daughter-in-law, and why his An Guo did not have such a good life.

"It is my brother's blessing to marry my eldest sister-in-law." Shen Wenshan said with a smile, "An Guo will also marry a daughter-in-law as good as my eldest sister-in-law in the future."

"No matter what kind of person he marries, he has to choose one. If I could marry someone like your sister-in-law, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."

I just don’t know if her son has this blessing.

He said he would come back in a few days, but I don’t know when he will come back.

Shen Suya ran over holding corn.

Seeing this, Lan Qiuhua shouted, "Slow down, why are you running so fast?"

"understood."

Although he said this, his pace did not slow down at all.

"Sister-in-law, I'm here."

She put the shelled corn into the basin.

Ji Wenhe looked at the six or seven stalks of corn and said, "Why are you picking so many?"

"One per person, otherwise there won't be enough."

If you have more, you can eat one more.

"I cut the corn into two sections. Each person can eat three or four. I will send you some more corn in the evening."

"Take the meat back. I still have half a piece left in the house. It's too hot in this weather. It can't be kept for long."

"Let Aunt Lan and the beans cook it tonight, and stir-fry the rest tomorrow."

They only eat meat once in a long time, and the meat they buy is turned into oil residue.

"My mother would never cook it. She would make lard out of the meat and seldom cook it."

Ji Wenhe glanced at the meat on the table and said, "How about this, I'll cook the meat and send you a bowl in the evening, so you can have meat."

Shen Suya nodded happily: "Thank you, sister-in-law."

"Why are you being polite to me?" After thinking for a moment, he said, "It's very troublesome to send it back and forth. You and Aunt Lan can come to my house for dinner. Uncle Da Nian will also come over in the evening."

"Then I'll go tell my mother. If she doesn't come, I won't come either."

"Then go tell your mother not to cook tonight. I'll prepare the meal and wait for her. If she doesn't come, we won't have dinner."

She knew what to say so that Lan Qiuhua would come.

Shen Suya put down the corn in her hand: "Mom and Brother Wenshan are talking, I'll be right back when I get out."

Looking at the person who hurried to him, he asked in confusion: "What are you doing in such a hurry?"
