Chapter 531 Motherly Heart
Jiang Feng looked at this task and fell into deep thought.
He can probably understand the meaning of the game's promulgation of this task. Although Zhao Mei was not hungry during this period, she did not eat at meal times in order to avoid the stew, and her diet was extremely irregular. As a pregnant woman who was about to give birth, this was obviously an extremely unhealthy behavior.
Originally, she went back to her parents' home to raise the baby for a better delivery, but after returning to her parents' home, she couldn't even guarantee three stable meals. Eating a meal was like fighting guerrilla warfare. When the enemy advances, we retreat, and when the enemy retreats, we advance. This is just short of using all 36 strategies.
Thinking about it makes me a little cautious.
But how to complete this task?
Jiang Feng was well aware of Tian Lin's cooking skills. The dishes with meat content either had no ingredients or heavy ingredients, wandering between those who could eat them to death and those who couldn't eat them. The level of cooking skills is only at the primary stage of cooking noodles well. Stir-frying simple vegetables is no problem, but slightly difficult dishes are not.
It can be said that teaching Tian Lin how to cook is extremely difficult. Because Tian Lin is not a beginner. On the contrary, she has been in charge of Zhao's kitchen for decades and already has her own set of cooking theories. Even if this theory is wrong, Jiang Feng won't be able to get her back for a while.
With this worry, Jiang Feng left the bathroom and returned to Zhao Mei's room.
Everyone has already eaten the glutinous rice balls. Everyone is holding a bowl and a spoon in their hands. The round glutinous rice balls floating in the bowl are very cute.
Among so many people, Zhao Mei's husband ate the most happily. In fact, he was the one who had the hardest time these days. Zhao Mei could avoid the meal on the grounds of being sleepy, but he could not. Not only can't I do it, I have to face the love stew made by my mother-in-law with a smile, assist my wife in guerrilla warfare, provide her with food, apologize to my wife when I need to apologize, and still apologize to my wife when I don't need to apologize.
Zhao Mei was full after eating five steamed buns and two or three glutinous rice balls. She scooped the remaining glutinous rice balls into her husband's bowl and praised Jiang Feng: "How about it? My cousin's craftsmanship is pretty good, right?"
"Excellent, absolutely amazing!" Zhao Mei's husband ate glutinous rice balls.
"Eat slowly and chew more. Tangyuan is made of glutinous rice. It will be difficult to digest if you eat it so fast." Zhao Mei said.
Seeing everyone eating glutinous rice balls, Zhao Mei supported the edge of the bed with one hand and slowly got out of bed.
Because she was about to give birth and she was pregnant with twins, Zhao Mei's belly was terribly big, which made her originally round face, round neck, round hands and slightly swollen feet very slender.
Seeing that Zhao Mei was about to get out of bed and move around, Zhao Mei's husband quickly helped her put on her coat and followed Zhao Mei.
"This room is warm and air-conditioned, so you can stay here. I'll go out to talk to the third grandma and the others, and I'll also do some exercise." Zhao Mei said with a smile, holding her belly and walking out.
Zhao Mei's house was indeed much warmer than outside. Not only was it cold when she went out, but there was also the risk of being forced into a bowl of stew when she met her uncle and grandpa, so everyone was obedient and stayed inside to continue eating glutinous rice balls and chatting by the way.
"Sister Meimei's belly is so big, isn't she tired from walking like this?" Jiang Junqing sighed.
"The more this happens, the more activities you need to do." Jiang Shoucheng said, "But I feel that Sister Meimei has changed a lot."
"It's become gentler." Jiang Zaide nodded in agreement.
Jiang Feng was busy eating glutinous rice balls and had no time to talk. He could only nod his head and listen to everyone talking about how hard it was for pregnant women to be pregnant.
Jiang Feng waited until he finished his bowl of glutinous rice balls before joining the discussion group.
"Brother Cheng, isn't it a bit bad for Sister Meimei to have irregular meals?" Jiang Feng asked.
"It's not very good, but if it only lasts a few days, it shouldn't be a problem. I see that Sister Meimei's face is quite rosy, and she walks around from time to time. She is in good condition." Jiang Shoucheng said, "Grandpa's meat stew is also good. In a few days, there will be so much pork belly to stew for my aunt.”
Although what Jiang Shoucheng said was reasonable, since the game had released missions, Jiang Feng couldn't sit still and wait for death.
He decided to walk around the kitchen first to see if there was anything he could salvage.
"I'm going to the kitchen to take a look." Jiang Feng stood up and said.
As soon as Jiang Feng went out, he heard the voices of his fifth aunt and Zhao Mei talking from the living room. When he passed by, he glanced at Zhao Mei, who was sitting in the middle like a star holding the moon, and was the target of protection. A group of elders surrounded her. My uncle and grandpa were smiling and drinking tea beside me, enjoying themselves.
Jiang Feng walked quickly towards the kitchen. Before he entered the door, he heard conversations coming from the kitchen. It was Grandma Jiang and Tian Lin talking.
The Zhao family's kitchen is small, and you can see the whole thing inside when standing at the door. Jiang Feng heard that the two of them were discussing Zhao Mei's problem, so he didn't go in directly. Instead, the cat eavesdropped at the door.
Tian Lin was washing vegetables, and Grandma Jiang was helping her choose vegetables.
"Third Aunt, I'm not unfounded. I think Meimei must have been bullied by her husband's family." Tian Lin looked worried. "During this period, I have always felt that something is not right with her. I always felt that there was something wrong with her. Things are hidden from me. Meimei has talked to me about everything since she was a child, and she tells me everything. If she hadn't been bullied by her husband's family, how could she hide other things from me? "
Grandma Jiang chose the dishes nonchalantly and consoled her: "My strong daughter-in-law asked me to tell you that you just like to think nonsense. Just now I saw that Meimei was in good spirits. Her husband seems to be a good person, a very honest young man, Meimei is in front." He followed me and protected me when I left. He cared about Meimei at first sight, and you told me before that Meimei doesn’t live with her parents-in-law. Meimei is a good child and not a stupid child, and she won’t be bullied.”
"No, I must have been bullied. Third aunt, I went to the city to ask the doctor before. The doctor said that pregnant women have great mood swings during pregnancy, and they are easy to get into trouble when encountering the smallest things. Meimei was fine before, but Xiao Zhu (Zhao Mei’s husband) suddenly couldn’t eat when she came. It must be that Xiao Zhu’s arrival reminded Meimei of something that irritated her. What do you think could make her so irritated that she can’t even eat?” As she spoke, Tian Lin suddenly put down the potatoes in her hand.
"Could it be Xiao Zhu's domestic violence?"
"Bah, bah, bah, where did you say it? You can say this kind of thing out loud, and you may hurt the harmony between Meimei and Xiao Zhu. Strong wife, your third aunt, you still can't believe me? You and your third aunt have been here for so many years. When have I ever looked down on others? There were so many men in the village who beat their wives. I don’t know what your third aunt is like? Xiao Zhu is definitely not this kind of person. He looks like an honest child at first glance. I think Meimei is not thinking nonsense, but you are just thinking nonsense.” Grandma Jiang said with a serious face. Don’t talk nonsense, no matter how old you are, you don’t understand this.”
Tian Lin also knew that she had just spoken unreasonably: "But Third Aunt, why can Meimei suddenly be unable to eat?"
"I see that Meimei's face is quite rosy. It doesn't look like she hasn't eaten. Why can't Meimei eat?" Grandma Jiang asked.
"Meimei has been feeling sleepy at mealtimes for some reason since she was a child. She doesn't want to eat when asked to eat, so she only wants to drink some soup and eat something light. Meimei loved stew when she was a child. , whenever I see the stewed meat during the Chinese New Year, my eyes are filled with tears It was so bright that she could eat two big bowls in one sitting. Seeing that she had a bad appetite, I got up before dawn every day to make meat stew for her. I also picked out the fat and good meat for her, but Meimei said no every time. I don’t want to eat, I want something sweet.”
Grandma Jiang:...
There was a brief silence in the kitchen.
"Well, you are a strong wife." Grandma Jiang didn't know what to say for a moment, "Stewed meat is indeed a bit too fat. Pregnant women may not be used to it. You should make less stewed meat for Meimei in the future. , just make her some meatloaf soup in the morning.”
"How can I not get used to it? Didn't I catch up with the Spring Festival when I was pregnant with Meimei? Eating two bowls of stew a day is really enjoyable." Tian Lin disagreed.
Grandma Jiang was speechless.
"I get worried when I think about this. I feel that Meimei has lost a lot of weight in the past two days." Tian Lin looked sad.
"Strong wife, listen to me and cook less stew. Maybe Meimei's appetite will be better." Grandma Jiang said weakly.
"Actually, Third Aunt, I have something else to do today that I want to trouble my uncle with," Tian Lin said.
"What happened?"
"Meimei has no appetite and says she wants to eat sweets all the time, but this pregnant woman can't eat too much sweets. It's not nutritious to just eat sweets without eating meat. The guy I just married Zhuangshen is going to renovate a large building in the city. Damn, you helped Zhuang Shi find a job as a bag carrier, but Zhuang Shi couldn't carry it anymore. I lived and ate at your house during that time, do you remember?" Tian Lin asked.
"Of course I remember." Grandma Jiang said.
"I remember one time my uncle made stewed meat. It seemed to be stewed with bamboo shoots. The meat was very sweet and delicious. Didn't Meimei have no appetite and wanted to eat sweet food? I was wondering if Meimei would like the sweet stewed meat. Eat, so please ask my uncle if he still remembers how to make the stew, and if so, teach me." Tian Lin said.
Grandma Jiang remembered that Tian Lin came to the city to carry bags, but she did not remember the bamboo shoot stew. She had eaten the stew made by the old man for decades, which was not enough to leave a memory in his heart, even the sweet stew. Neither can.
"Let me ask for you. Even if Wei Guo doesn't remember, I'll ask him to teach you something else. Maybe Meimei will like it if you make it differently." Grandma Jiang began to tell the truth.
"Sorry to trouble you."
Jiang Feng froze at the door.
He discovered that he and Zhao Mei had actually fallen into a misunderstanding.
Zhao Mei couldn't eat the stew, but she didn't want to disappoint Tian Lin and told her that the stew was too unpleasant and she didn't want to eat it, so she chose to deceive Tian Lin with a white lie.
This deception was due to Zhao Mei's concern for her mother as a daughter and her desire not to disappoint her mother.
They only thought about how to deceive Tian Lin, making her think that Zhao Mei just couldn't eat it and didn't like the stew. But they all forgot that Tian Lin would make stew for Zhao Mei because of her mother's concern for her daughter. Love for my daughter. Tian Lin always remembers how Zhao Mei loved to eat stew when she was a child, so she feels that making stew for Zhao Mei during the New Year is the greatest concern for Zhao Mei, because stew is the best food she can give Zhao Mei.
This task is actually easy to complete. As the task prompt says, it is better to teach a person to fish than to teach him to fish.
Teach Tian Lin how to make truly delicious stew and let her convey to Zhao Mei the care that Zhao Mei can accept.
Motherly heart.
Jiang Feng walked into the kitchen. (End of chapter)
