MTL - Stepmother-Chapter 183 Wuren Zongzi

Xiao Xiurong could not help frowning: "I heard it right? I've only heard of five-nut moon cakes, how to make five-nut dumplings?"

"Have you made glutinous rice at home?" Song Zhaodi asked instead of answering.

Xiao Xiurong: "Xiaoying said yesterday that today is the Dragon Boat Festival, the school has a day off, and my mother-in-law started soaking after dinner last night."

"Then let's go to the supply and marketing agency first." Song Zhaodi turned her head and found her face full of worry, "I won't make bad food."

Xiao Xiurong: "You mean it will be unpalatable?"

"You use white thread wrap, I use black thread wrap, you cook at our house, if you find it unpalatable, come back and give us the five-nut dumplings you wrapped, and bring back bean paste and meat dumplings." Song Zhaodi asked, "Is this all right?"

Xiao Xiurong was embarrassed: "If it's not delicious, tell Lao Shen to eat it. I told Xiaoying that it was her father who wanted to eat five-nut dumplings."

"That's fine too." Song Zhaodi went to the supply and marketing agency and asked if there were any nuts.

This place is rich in walnuts, and the salesman Bara brought out a bag of pecans. Song Zhaodi saw that the walnut skin was very thin, so she bought five catties at once, and then five catties of peanuts. Then the two went to the non-staple food factory to buy some red dates, some fish and two catties of meat, and kept them for lunch and dinner.

Xiao Xiurong saw Song Zhaodi buying walnuts, peanuts and red dates, and immediately understood what Wuren meant. When she got home, Xiao Xiurong went to Zhong's house with glutinous rice and bamboo leaves. Seeing Shen Ying following, she quickly called her back.

Shen Ying frowned: "You won't let me make zongzi for you?"

"No." Xiao Xiurong said, "We have a small family, so we can pack twenty, and it will be finished in a while. You, you can take your sister to play."

Shen Ying stared at her for a while: "Well then."

Xiao Xiurong breathed a sigh of relief and ran to Zhong's house, so that when Song Zhaodi saw her, she asked, "What happened?"

"It's okay." Xiao Xiurong said, "Xiaoying wants to come over, I'm afraid she will follow."

"I can't make clothes, I can't make shoes, and the cooking is not as good as my mother-in-law's cooking, so ask her to come over? Knowing that I can't even make dumplings, my stepmother can It's useless." Xiao Xiurong said, "It's embarrassing to have you make a comparison."

Song Zhaodi was speechless: "Zhengang, go and soak the red beans and mung beans. Second baby, third baby, bring out the stuffing I prepared. How about we wrap some red bean paste stuffing first?"

"Listen to you." Xiao Xiurong said, "Slow down. I'll learn from you first."

Sanwa brought the red bean paste over: "Aunt Xiao, I'll teach you. Making zongzi is very simple."

"Then you teach me." Xiao Xiurong said, "When I look back at Xiaoying, I can't tell her."

Sanwa: "Don't worry, no one will tell her."

"No one can tell." Xiao Xiurong's heart shrank in fright, "Not even your father."

Sanwa nodded: "I know, I know. Really, people who don't know the truth think that we help you make the dumplings in your family."

"I'm not trying to scare you, Sanwa, if Xiaoying thinks I know nothing, I'll find you." Xiao Xiurong said.

Song Zhaodi hurriedly asked, "Does she dislike you?"

"Not yet." Xiao Xiurong said, "It's that little girl who can do everything, such as laundry and cooking, so I don't need me at all. It makes me like a guest, I eat and sleep every day. , I woke up and continued to eat, and then went to work after eating."

Song Zhaodi: "Your mother-in-law cooks with Shen Ying, while Shen Xuancheng washes clothes, pots and dishes. You are indeed like a guest."

"Mr. Song!" Xiao Xiurong widened her eyes, "You—"

Sanwa interrupted her: "You said you were a guest, you can't blame my mother."

"I didn't say anything about her, look at her." Xiao Xiurong couldn't help frowning.

Erwa: "My mother, we don't protect, do you? Aunt Xiao."

Xiao Xiurong choked: "I can't tell you how many brothers you have. As soon as I came here, I heard others say that each of the seven children of the Zhong family is better than each other."

"Then you can make dumplings, don't talk about my teacher." Zhen Gang came out with mung beans and red beans, "Teacher, what else do you want to do?"

Song Zhaodi: "Peel some walnuts, and then peel some peanuts."

"Fried peanuts?" Sanwa hurriedly asked.

Song Zhaodi: "If you want to eat it, peel it more. The walnut skin is not easy to break, so use pliers to knock or clamp it, you can do it."

"Don't we help you make rice dumplings?" Zhen Gang asked.

Song Zhaodi: "Big baby and the others are not at home, we will have enough food to pack 30 this year. It's not yet ten o'clock, and we can pack it by noon."

"Isn't there no time to eat at noon?" Xiao Xiurong asked hurriedly.

Song Zhaodi: "Zongzi is not easy to cook, but you can eat it at two or three o'clock in the afternoon."

"I would have packed it earlier." Xiao Xiurong was a little annoyed.

Song Zhaodi said with a smile: "Usually it is made last night, boiled before going to bed, stewed overnight, and eaten the next morning. Heat it up at noon and eat it again."

"No wonder my mother-in-law wanted to make rice dumplings at noon yesterday. I told her that I'm asking for leave today and I'll make it." Xiao Xiurong said, "If I had known, I wouldn't have stopped her."

Sanwa reminded her: "Then who did you learn to make dumplings from?"

Xiao Xiurong choked for a moment, and suddenly wanted to beat him: "Sanwa, come here, I'll give you a candy."

"I'm thirteen years old, not three years old." Sanwa glanced at her and ran to the house to get a pot of peanuts.

Song Zhaodi taught Xiao Xiurong how to wrap, and before eleven o'clock, the two ran out of their Zhong family's fillings.

The Shen family originally planned to pack the original flavor, which was dumplings with nothing added, so no fillings were prepared.

The filling was gone, Sanwa was curious: "What about the remaining glutinous rice?"

"Erwa, make some peanuts." Song Zhaodi said, and waved at Sanwa, "Give me the walnut kernels. Zhen Gang, go wash a dozen red dates."

Xiao Xiurong quickly asked;

Song Zhaodi nodded. Then go to the kitchen, grab a handful of peanuts made by Erwa, crush them with a rolling pin and put a piece of walnuts. When I came out, I told Xiao Xiurong: "Put peanut kernels and walnut kernels inside, and put red dates, red beans and mung beans outside. Isn't this a five-nut dumpling?"

Xiao Xiurong thought about it carefully: "Yes. You tell me, why didn't I think of it. I'm also worried about how to eat mung beans and peanuts."

"My mother is smart." Sanwa said, "Headmaster Shen said that my mother is the most powerful woman on the island."

Xiao Xiurong glanced at him: "Your mother is amazing, not you. Look how beautiful you are."

"My mother is great, so I'm happy." Sanwa said, "Mother, I'm going to cook zongzi."

Song Zhaodi smiled and said, "Go." When he brought the dumplings into the house, he said, "Xiu Rong, don't know him in the same way, this child can't tolerate others talking about me. Lao Zhong said, He doesn't want to either."

"I see." Xiao Xiurong couldn't help but glance west, "When will those two little girls protect me like this. By the way, I went to the hospital to check my body a few days earlier, the doctor's It means that it is dangerous for me to give birth to a child at such an old age, do you think I will give birth or not?"

Song Zhaodi: "If you ask me to tell the truth, then you will not give birth. But it depends on what you think. If you want to give birth, I advise you not to give birth, then I advise you before. It's no different to find a man who has made do with it."

"I, I want to have a child." Xiao Xiurong said, "But I'm afraid."

Song Zhaodi: "If you're afraid, it's better to tell your mother, if you have any good or bad, take the child to Xiao's house. If your mother agrees, you will be reborn. Your mother-in-law is old, you have In case, she wants to take care of you and can't take care of you well.

"It's not enough for a child to have something to eat and drink. When I took my third baby, he was one year old and knew how hot and cold he was. I was afraid that he would get into the quilt and suffocate himself. died."

"Then I'll think about it." Xiao Xiurong picked up the dumplings, "Thank you."

Song Zhaodi waved her hand: "You're welcome. Zhengang, Erwa, do you want to eat fish or meat at noon?"

"I want to eat." Erwa said.

Song Zhaodi: "Then do it all. Save a fish for the soup at night."

After lunch, Song Zhaodi wrote a letter to Rehabilitation and told him what Xiao Xiurong said. Song Zhaodi originally wanted to make a phone call, but she was afraid that someone would eavesdrop on her when she was connecting, so she wrote a letter just to be on the safe side.

Song Zhaodi came back from the post office and saw the four women of the Shen family sitting in the corridor eating zongzi. She couldn't help but ask, "Are five-nut zongzi delicious?"

"It's quite fragrant." Mother Shen said, "The bean paste is also delicious, thank you Teacher Song for the filling."

Song Zhaodi waved her hand: "You're welcome, I'll go home and try it too." When they got home, they saw that the zongzi had been fished out, but Erwa and the others didn't eat it, waiting for Song Zhaodi to come back.

Song Zhaodi saw them, her heart was sweet and astringent, she didn't let the three children do it, she peeled eight zongzi, and the mother four and two each. After eating, Song Zhaodi said, "Which one of you will give Liu Ping two?"

"Give it to her?" Sanwa shook her head, "Don't give it to her."

Song Zhaodi: "In the past, when your grandma Liu was here, half of the chickens were made for our family. Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. We won't give Liu Ping two dumplings. Your grandma Liu will know. Won't you be sad?"

Sanwa pursed her lips: "I won't go anyway."

"Teacher, let me go." Zhengang said, "Give her two five-nut dumplings."

Song Zhaodi: "Second baby, you and Zhengang go together. Liu Ping doesn't appreciate it. Let's go to Binhai tomorrow. It's easy to see you, Grandma Liu, and give Liu Ping two dumplings for the Dragon Boat Festival. When your grandma Liu heard us say that, she was so happy that she couldn't see her teeth."

"I see." Erwa said, "Mother, when you were going to send the letter, the uncle called. The lady in the lobby will get engaged in a few days. I hope you can meet my cousin-in-law."

Song Zhaodi hurriedly asked, "Isn't your cousin nineteen years old?"

"I also asked the same question. The uncle said that we will get married in the next year. Now that it is decided, the relationship between my cousin and my cousin will be justified in the future." Erwa said, "On June 6th, on the 10th day of the fifth month in the lunar calendar. On the second day, the ceremony will be reserved. Uncle wants you to come."

Song Zhaodi pointed to herself: "Me? Your uncle is right. No women are present at the engagement there. Women used to help with cooking, and men were in the main room when they ate. Eat, women eat in the kitchen."

"The uncle said that you are a celebrity now, and you used to have a lot of face in their family." Erwa said with a smile, "The book "College Entrance Examination Materials", when the aunt bought the book, she told others that the book Song Zhaodi above is you."

Song Zhaodi couldn't help but help her forehead: "I just said how could your uncle call me over. This, what is this called?"
