Chapter 9

Although her daughter-in-law managed to get food, Mrs. Cui's first concern was Jiang Zhiluo's health.

"Don't worry about this for now. Come on, Zhiluo, wipe off the rain first, drink a bowl of ginger soup to get rid of the cold, and go to the back room to change into clean clothes so you don't catch a cold."

Jiang Zhiluo nodded, not being pretentious, and waited until she had finished cleaning up.

She came out of the house and taught Mrs. Cui how to pick leeks.

She looked at the rain that was still falling outside, and said with some worry: "Mom, I don't know how my husband is. Will he get caught in the rain?"

Mrs. Cui said: "It's okay. If it rains, he should be able to borrow an umbrella."

As she said that, Mrs. Cui couldn't help but look outside. She seemed calm, but she couldn't help but feel worried in her heart.

"Mom, how about I go pick up my husband?"

Mrs. Cui shook her head and said, "It's raining and we don't have an umbrella at home. It's not economical to go out so rashly and get sick."

"Don't worry, Hejin will be fine."

"In the past, when it snowed, he would go to town and come back well. He would take good care of himself."

Just like this, Jiang Zhiluo and Mrs. Cui were talking and picked a large handful of leeks.

Jiang Zhiluo scooped water from the vat and washed the leeks.

Mrs. Cui lit the fire and steamed the white flour steamed buns she had made at home.

In the past, Mrs. Cui would have been reluctant to use fine white flour to make steamed buns. This was also the time when He Jin and Zhi Luo had just gotten married. In the first few days, she wanted to make something as delicious as possible.

There is not much rice and noodles left in this vat.

In the winter, when the mountains are closed by heavy snow, they can't do anything except eat and live at home. Even if the mother and son save some money, the small tank of food is still too much for them to eat.

I hope Hejin can sell the basket of eggs today. If he can sell it successfully, he should be able to buy some whole grain noodles.

Mrs. Cui was thinking about this, burning firewood, and she was also very worried.

After Jiang Zhiluo washed the leeks, she thought about it and said to Mrs. Cui: "Mom, um, if you fry the leeks, you may need a raw egg. I wonder if we have any eggs at home?"

Jiang Zhiluo knew that the eggs at home were sold for money in exchange for food. To be honest, she was a little embarrassed to ask Mrs. Cui if she wanted to lay eggs.

But she wandered around the back hill for a long time and found no wild eggs.

I can only use eggs from home.

When frying leeks, if meat is not used, it can only be delicious if fried with eggs. Thinking about the current situation at home, she can't beat more eggs, so she just beats one. At least the fried vegetables will taste good.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Cui hurriedly said: "Yes, I have left two eggs at home, thinking that if the chickens in the henhouse don't lay eggs in the past two days, I will boil the remaining eggs for you to eat.

"

Mrs. Cui is willing to give food to her daughter-in-law even if she is very careful with her budget.

She just thought that if she treated her daughter-in-law well as a mother-in-law and treated her like a daughter, her daughter-in-law would be able to live a good life with her son with peace of mind, right?

Now that the Cui family is not as good as before, Mrs. Cui also wants to be as thoughtful as possible.

When Jiang Zhiluo heard this, her expression changed and she said, "Mom, I'm thinking of taking one out first."

Mrs. Cui had no objection, "Zhiluo, you are also a member of the family. You can eat the food at home and arrange it however you want."

Jiang Zhiluo felt a little touched in her heart, "Mom, you are not afraid that I will eat everything."

"Don't be afraid, just eat it and let's think of a solution." Mrs. Cui now understands that a good person is more important than anything else.

Since Mrs. Cui agreed, Jiang Zhiluo broke an egg into a bowl.

To crack more eggs.

Jiang Zhiluo added some more water and starch into it, and then stirred it.

She can make more egg blossoms, so that with one egg, it looks like two or three eggs.

"Mom, when my husband comes back, we can start cooking."

Just when Jiang Zhiluo was saying this, she seemed to hear something outside the door and turned her head to look.

I saw Cui Hejin slowly walking in in the hazy mist and rain, wearing a moon-white gown.

His white clothes are as white as snow, like apricot blossoms in spring rain, and even more misty and picturesque.
