Chapter 88 Pretending
Guan Lei bit her lower lip and said nothing.
Zhao Hongcai carried the water into the kitchen, put the cigarette in his hand, and continued: "Strength is earned. Sitting idle all day, no matter how strong a person is, will turn into soft bones. You can follow me tomorrow. Go and hoe the fields. ”
The drought is so bad. Even if we hoe the grass, we won’t be able to grow any crops. I’m so full.
Guan Lei scolded her mother in her heart, but she smiled and said: "Dad, I don't think it will work tomorrow. I have to go back to my house tomorrow."
Zhao Hongcai frowned and said: " Returning to your parents' home again, you are treating marriage like a child's play. Tell me, how many days have you stayed at home after getting married? "
Guan Lei whispered: "It's not that I don't want to stay at home, this time. Mom asked me to go to the county town to stay for a while."
Zhao Hongcai waved his hand and said, "Don't say it's useless. Since you are married, just stay here and don't go to your parents' house every day. Run."
"Dad, I don't run to my parents' house every three days, I just go back once."
Zhao Hongcai looked at Guan Lei dissatisfied and snorted. Went to the main house.
Guan Lei came to the kitchen and washed the peppers and green beans.
She is not as good at cutting vegetables as her mother, she can only cut them one by one.
Zhao Lan had the habit of eating steamed buns in the afternoon. At this time, she walked into the kitchen, took a piece of rice noodle steamed buns, and washed a cucumber for herself.
She glanced at it and said disdainfully: "Those who know think your mother is spoiling you, and those who don't know think you are the princess of the palace."
Guan Lei glared: "What do you mean?"
"What do you mean? Even if you have never eaten pork, you have seen pigs running around. You don't even know how to smoke bean tendons, but your family eats green beans and bean tendons together. "
Guan Lei blushed and said, "Can't you do it after I cut it? If you have the ability, you can do it."
Zhao Lan made a sound and clicked. I took a bite of cucumber and went out.
Guan Lei didn't know that the green beans need to be blanched first, so she directly fried them with the chili peppers. After frying for a long time, she tasted the chili peppers and found that the chili beans were already very soft, but the green beans were still relatively hard.
She covered the pot and added another fire. After a while, she smelled a smell of paste, so she quickly opened the pot lid and hurriedly took out the vegetables.
There is already a layer of paste on the bottom of the pot.
She cleaned the pot and started making egg soup.
This is her specialty.
The last time she came back, she asked her mother to learn how to make tomato and egg soup. She practiced it several times in the county seat without ever failing.
She confidently cracked the eggs on the edge of the bowl.
After the dishes were served, the plate was dark, and Feng Zhuanqin frowned.
"What are you cooking? How come it's so mushy?"
Guan Lei said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, auntie, the fire was too great. I was busy cutting tomatoes, and the result was It's just blurry. I will pay attention to it next time."
Zhao Lan was very dissatisfied and said, "What's wrong with this?"
"Eat it. Feng Zhuanxia said, "Practice makes perfect when cooking. Your sister-in-law has never cooked before. Just let her practice more in the future. It's not that fastidious to eat by yourself."
Guan Lei understood. It seemed that from now on, cooking would be hers.
It was okay to do it to her parents-in-law, but to do it to Feng Zhuanqin and Zhao Lan, two unrelated people, she always felt unhappy!
Zhao Lan just took one bite and spat it out, frowned and screamed: "Oh my god, you don't add salt to your cooking."
Guan Lei came back to her senses.
"Oh, I was in such a hurry just now that I forgot to put the seasonings. I'll get it."
Feng Zhuanxia said: "You can take the dishes to the kitchen and put them on the plates directly. It’s not easy to mix evenly, remember to add some soy sauce and pepper noodles.”
When she brought the dishes back, Feng Zhuanxia said, “We don’t have a shortage of vegetables at home, so we should fry more in the future. , otherwise it will break if left alone."
Guan Lei:! ! After the meal, they all went to chat and had no intention of helping clean up. Guan Lei felt depressed, but she didn't know what to say, so she had to bite the bullet and put away the dishes and go to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

the next day.
Because she was thinking about returning to her parents' home, Guan Lei woke up early. Her mother-in-law had already gotten up, but she neither cleaned the yard nor made breakfast. Instead, she sat on the steps to collect shoe mats.
Guan Lei doesn’t want to do it either.
She suddenly thought of the multi-child soup that Zhao Yang cooked for her when she was in the county town. She must have had this purpose in letting her go to the county town to get her pregnant.
She can now use this to avoid tedious housework.
Although she could not confirm whether she was pregnant, she felt that the chance was very high.
Whatever, take it easy one day at a time.
She deliberately covered her stomach, hissed a few breaths of air, and said, "Mom, I have a stomachache. Do you have any medicine at home?"
Feng Zhuanxia's face suddenly changed. , she quickly dropped her insoles and trotted over.
She is probably pregnant, but could it be that she has a stomachache because she had a bad fight with her eldest sister yesterday and injured the fetal air?
"Where does your stomach hurt? Did it just start? Go back to the house and lie down."
"Here." Guan Lei pointed to her lower abdomen, "Maybe you caught a cold, Mom, help me find some medicine , I'll sweep the yard first."
"What are you sweeping? Go back to the house and lie down, and I'll pack some hot ashes for you."
"Thank you, Mom. "
"Go, by the way, what do you want to eat? I'll make some for you. Poached eggs, okay?"
Guan Lei originally wanted to tease her mother-in-law and said she wanted to eat eggs. After all, if she didn’t get pregnant, her life would not be easy, so she said, "Mom, I actually don’t have much appetite."
Feng Zhuanxia was very happy. .
Isn’t this just a symptom of pregnancy?
She went to the kitchen excitedly and burned two poached eggs. She also made a hot gray cloth bag for her and gave it to Guan Lei together.
After she left, Guan Lei ate the poached eggs, feeling very comfortable.

We meet today.
After Guan Lei repeatedly assured her that she was fine, and repeatedly begged to see her parents, Feng Zhuanxia finally agreed that she should go back to her parents' home for a day.
Guan Canyon and Zhaogou share this market, and this market is closer to Guan Canyon.
Feng Zhuanxia was going to the market to buy some dowry for Zhao Lan, so she went with Guan Lei.
Someone driving a tricycle in the village asked if they wanted to give them a ride. Feng Zhuanxia was afraid that Guan Lei would be bumped and refused, so she refused.
By the time the two people walked to the market, it was already past ten o'clock.
The market is bustling with people.
"By the way, Leilei, which store did you buy the wedding dress you wore when you got married? I will also buy one for Xiaolan."
When I think of Zhao Lan Guan Lei felt uncomfortable all over if she wanted to wear the same wedding dress as herself.
She deserves it too!
She smiled and lied: "I bought it at the store diagonally opposite the health center, but there was only one piece left when I bought it. I wonder if the boss has stocked it?"
"Okay, let's go take a look."
"Hey, isn't this Leilei? I haven't seen you for a long time." Suddenly, a woman's voice came over.
