: Supporting the wife to death and starving the husband to death

Author: Mu Shenghua

Jiang Miao smiled as she watched the rough man pick up vegetables for her. He didn't pick up a lot of food, but just piled her bowl full.

She grabbed the sleeves rolled up by the man's elbows and whispered: "Cheng Huai, don't just pinch it for me. Don't you want to eat it yourself?"

He is supporting his wife to death and starving his husband to death.

The man pursed his lower lip, quickly picked up some vegetables, put them in his bowl, and started eating.

It doesn't matter if there are too many dishes or too little, as long as there is enough rice.

Jiang Miao gave him some vegetables, and then she started eating slowly with the bowl in hand.

After dinner, Cheng Huai sent Jiang Miao back.

When he met Zhang Xiu and his party, Cheng Huai had a cold face and sharp eyes, looking murderous.

Zhang Xiu hurriedly pulled Jiang Wen and walked away quickly. Jiang Mei bit her lip and followed Zhang Xiu, fearing that Cheng Huai would hit someone.

Everyone in the family bullies the weak and fears the strong. If Cheng Huai hadn't been here, they might have come to make trouble.

Jiang Miao reached out and grabbed the hem of Cheng Huai's clothes, raised her head and said, "Cheng Huai, you can go back. You can rest for a while. I can go back alone."

"It's only a few steps." The man took two big steps forward, then slowed down and walked slowly with Jiang Miao.

The rough man was worried about her. Jiang Miao's eyes widened with a smile and she did not refuse again.

After returning home, Li Guihua and Yu Ying were sitting at the door talking, and the two children were sitting on the ground playing.

Seeing Jiang Miao and Cheng Huai back, her smile deepened.

Yu Ying waved enthusiastically: "Miao Yatou, come and tell me about Zhang Xiu's hair being pulled out!"

The excitement in this village spread so quickly, everyone knew about it within one meal.

When their parents came back, the two children also jumped over and hugged their legs.

Cheng Huai lowered his eyes and glanced at Jiang Miao, "I'm leaving first."

Jiang Miao nodded: "Well, come back early. You must rest when you are tired."

Cheng Huai glanced at Yu Ying next to him again.

Yu Ying waved her hand: "Go ahead, Miao Yatou and I will take care of the house."

Cheng Huai picked up the big and small babies, reached out and patted their butts, then put them on the ground, then turned and left.

Jiang Miao had just finished eating and didn't want to move much, so she sat on the edge and talked to Yu Ying and Li Guihua.

"Jiang Miao, has your aunt become bald?" Li Guihua asked curiously.

Jiang Miao couldn't help laughing: "No Aunt Li, I just pulled out a few hairs. I didn't see that I was bald."

"This show is also a debt. Qiao Feng always remembers the last grudge, but she ran to touch Niu Niu. Isn't this just rushing to get beaten?" Yu Ying said slowly.

Li Guihua also nodded in agreement, "I'm afraid the feud between these two families has been forged."

"The two families didn't have much contact with each other before, but I'm afraid they'll get into trouble if they meet each other in the future."

After chatting with Zhang Xiu and Liu Qiaofeng for a while, the two went on to talk about other things.

Jiang Miao felt sleepy after listening for a long time, so she carried her two cubs who were also sleepy to the house. After they fell asleep, she went to the room opposite to take a nap.

Li Guihua sat for a while and then left. Yu Ying closed the door, went to the back kitchen to take out the flour, and started kneading the dough to ferment.

Jiang Miao woke up and took a look at the children. Seeing that they were still sleeping, she went to the back to help.

Seeing Yu Ying kneading the dough, Jiang Miao walked over and helped knead the dough together, "Mom, I'm going to town tomorrow to sell steamed buns."

"Yeah, I had almost half of the flour left last time, so I thought I'd just use it all to make buns. There's nothing to do anyway."

Jiang Miao looked at the cabbage, wild vegetables and peppers on the side. They had all been washed.

Yu Ying kneaded the dough and took a breath. "Tomorrow, take the flowers that my mother has embroidered recently to the town and ask about them. Just go to that shop that specializes in embroidery."

Jiang Miao, the shop selling embroidery, was somewhat impressed and nodded, "Mom, I remember it."

After kneading the dough, Yu Ying began to cut vegetables and prepare the filling. Jiang Miao helped with it for a while, and then thought of a new filling.

"Mom, I'm going to Aunt Liu's house to buy some dried tofu seeds."

"Why are you buying dried tofu? It's not as delicious as tofu." Yu Ying was confused.

Jiang Miao smiled and replied: "Make spicy dried tofu buns, delicious."

Yu Ying couldn't imagine what it tasted like, but she still nodded in belief and said, "Then go and buy some. Mom will leave some dough for you to make specifically for this flavor."

"Okay." After washing her hands, Jiang Miao went to the house to get the money, then carried the basket and went out.

I happened to meet Aunt Zhang and her husband carrying a chicken out of the house, apparently intending to take it to another house.

Jiang Miao turned her head and pretended not to notice, and quickly went to the house of a tofu maker in the village.

"Aunt Liu, is Aunt Liu here?"

In the room were stone mills for grinding beans and grinding tools for shaping tofu cubes. When someone shouted, Liu Chunying straightened up and poked her head out.

"Here comes the ginger seedling, or do you want a piece of water tofu?"

Jiang Miao shook her head: "No, I want to buy some dried tofu seeds. Auntie, please get some for me."

"Okay, wait a minute, the dried tofu is inside." Liu Chunying wiped her hands dry and went into the house. She quickly took out the dried tofu and said, "If you want a few pieces, I'll pack them for you."

Jiang Miao looked at it and saw that Liu Chunying had about seven or eight pieces of dried beans in her hand. "I want all of them. Auntie, how much do you think they will cost?"

Although most people think that dried tofu is not delicious, it is more expensive than water tofu.

"You want so much, please give me five cents." Liu Chunying pretended to her with a smile, her voice was very gentle.

Jiang Miao nodded, counted five coins and said, "Thank you, Auntie."

"It's okay. If you like it, come back and buy it next time. Auntie will give you a discount." Liu Chunying said generously, with a gentle and bright smile on her face.

Jiang Miao thanked her again and left with dried beans.

After returning home, Yu Ying had already prepared the other fillings and was sitting on the edge with a stool, slowly making buns.

After making a pot of buns, steam them directly on the stove. While steaming, sit on the side and make the next pot of buns.

Jiang Miao took out the dried tofu from the basket, walked over and shouted: "Mom, I'm back."

Yu Ying looked up and smiled kindly: "I'm back. Are Dabao and Xiaobao not awake yet?"

Jiang Miao nodded: "Well, I'm still sleeping."

Jiang Miao washed the dried tofu seeds she bought in water, cut them into cubes, then blanched them in cold water, and when the water was hot, took them out and put them into a clean bowl on the side.

I also got some garlic leaves and chopped them into pieces, then put the chili salt, oil and other ingredients into a bowl and mixed well.

"Will this taste delicious?" Yu Ying asked hesitantly.

The kitchen was filled with the smell of dried beans, which wasn't very good.

Jiang Miao smiled and comforted: "Don't make a lot. If it doesn't taste good, mom will eat it with me."

"You are so clever." Yu Ying laughed out loud and glared at her, "If it doesn't taste good, you still force me to eat it."

"Mom loves me, so she will definitely eat it." Jiang Miao replied confidently.

Yu Ying hummed twice: "That's for sure."
