Chapter 52 Spicy Radish Strips

"Ginth? What kind of ginseng? Ye asked in surprise.

Li said quickly, "Why, you don't know that the medicine you are taking now..."

Xu Xing'er interrupted without waiting for her to finish, "Second lady, how do you know what medicine my mother usually eats?"

Li immediately choked and hesitated, "I...how do you care how do you know? Do you think you want to eat ginseng every meal?"

Seeing that Ye's face was white, Xu Xinger quickly said, "There were indeed people in the medicine in the first three days. That's because my mother's body was too weak, and I had to make up the foundation at the beginning..." As she spoke, she looked at Li suspiciously. She didn't know where she came from. Suddenly, "Second Aunt, won't you turn me over? Mother's leftover medicine residue, right?

Li jumped up and said, "What are you talking about? Who would do such a thing?"

"Second aunt, our family's money has been paid off the second uncle's debts. Even for the lock, the family has no money to hold a banquet. It can only be so simple. Even if we smash the pot and sell iron, we don't have money to eat ginseng for my mother, okay?" Xu Xinger said without blinking her eyes, as if what she said was the truth.

Li was fowned by her words and thought about it. It seemed that the family did not have money for Ye to take medicine like this, so she rolled her eyes and said, "I just care about it. I don't need to say anything about the debt. Besides, that's what your second uncle owes it to me. What does it have to do with me?"

While talking, Xu Laosan came from the east room with the lock in his arms and put the child in Ye's arms with a smile and said, "From now on, the lock will be our son. We can teach him to call him father and mother."

Ye hugged the lock and kissed him, saying with tears in his eyes, "Good son."

After returning home, Ye asked Xu Laosan, "I just heard from my second sister-in-law that I still need to use ginseng in the medicine I take?"

Xu Laosan was stunned at first. Seeing Xu Xinger wink at himself behind Ye's family, he thought for a moment before saying, "The second sister-in-law has to listen to her words a few miles away. She is that kind of person. Don't take anything to heart."

"That's right, mother, I didn't tell you that there was indeed ginseng in the medicine a few days ago. It was because you fell into the root of the disease when you gave birth to chestnuts, and then you were frightened. She was weak. The doctor said that you had to use medicine to nourish her body, so the first three pairs of medicine used ginseng, and then it was gone." Xu Xinger said as she stared at Ye's expression.

Ye listened to his daughter's words and looked at Xu Laosan and nodded. Then he was relieved, but he still sighed, "Even if there are only three pairs of drugs, it will cost a lot of money, right?"

"Mom, don't think about these things. I'm going to cook. The pickled radish strips last time should be edible. I'll take them out and try them at noon." Xu Xinger didn't want to discuss the topic of taking medicine anymore. She moved out the jar containing radish strips, pried open the wax seal at the mouth of the jar, lifted the buttoned bowl, and smelled a unique smell of spicy radish strips. She couldn't help reaching out and stuffing a radish strip into her mouth. The sour and spicy taste was very good, and the radish strips were still preserved a little bit. It has a crisp and raw taste, but because it has been sun-dried and soaked, it has the toughness that fresh radish does not have.

Xu Xinger didn't wait to cook. She grabbed a pair of chopsticks, held the jar and went into the room and said, "Dad, can you try it. Is it better than what we bought in the city that day?"

Xu Laosan didn't take it seriously at first. He tasted it casually, and his expression suddenly became serious. He took another bite and tasted it carefully: "It tastes really good. It's much better than the one I bought that day."

Ye saw that Xu Laosan ate several of them. He couldn't help but be a little curious. He also wanted to taste it. He took his chopsticks and said, "It smells good. When did you learn to do these things?"

As soon as you picked up the chopsticks, you were stopped by Xu Xinger: "Mom, you have to avoid eating the medicine and wait until you are cured."

Xu Laosan grabbed the chopsticks with a smile and stuffed a piece into the mouth of Taoer, who was drooling. Seeing that her eyes were red with spicy, he couldn't help laughing. He ate two more mouthfuls and boasted, "Xing'er's level can be sold to make money."

Xu Xinger was happy when she heard the words, but she was not overwhelmed by Xu Laosan's words. She played with the radish strips in the jar, turned the top to the bottom and soaked them in the soup below.

"I didn't know if it would be delicious at first, so I mixed such a jar. We kept some for ourselves, and the rest was divided into three parts for Brother Cheng, Brother Shanzi and Grandma's family." Xu Xinger looked at Ye Shi inquiringly.

Ye rubbed her daughter's hair happily and said, "Xing'er has grown up and become more and more sensible. However, let's divide it into five parts and bring a portion to your grandfather's milk."

"Well, I see." Xu Xinger pouted slightly when she heard the words and clearly didn't want to go to the old house, but thinking that the old man was still taking care of her family, she couldn't help but nodded. She went down to the ground and found two clean bowls, picked out some radish strips, and walked to the edge of the stick with a bowl at the tip, and raised his voice with the stitch: "Brother Cheng, are you at home? I'll give you a taste of the dried radish.

Brother Cheng came out of the room and picked up a thick porcelain bowl from the stick and said, "My aunt's body is not good and she still thinks about doing these things. Why is it difficult to raise?"

"It's not made by my mother, it's made by my sister!" Taoer shouted in the yard, "The radish strips made by my elder sister are delicious, but they are too spicy..."

When Brother Cheng heard that it was made by Xu Xinger, he immediately picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth. He was choked a few times. He looked up with red eyes and said, "It's delicious!"

"Don't show your ability if you can't eat spicy food!" Xu Xinger saw that he was so spicy that she almost burst into tears. She smiled so hard that she almost fell from the tree stult.

Brother Cheng didn't feel ashamed, but said, "Stand steady. Although it's not high, what if you fall down and get a sprain or get hurt?"

"How can it be so different?" Xu Xinger muttered, but still came down from the stucuse honestly, "Okay, I'll send radish strips to my milk."

When she went to the old house with a bowl, Mrs. Xu happened to be not at home. Xu Lingzi was cooking in the kitchen, and the old man Xu was smoking in the house.

Xu Xinger suddenly felt relieved and handed over the radish strips to Xu Lingzi and said, "Sister, my mother asked me to serve the radish strips I made for you."

"Okay, put it on the table." Xu Lingzi turned over the dishes in the pot and said, "Have you made lunch for a day? Eat here and then go back."

"No." Xu Xinger's head shook like a rattle, "I have to go home to cook. My father's cooking is not good."

Xu Lingzi burst out laughing when she heard the words, turned around and pointed at the tip of Xu Xing'er's nose and said, "Your father is already very good at cooking. Look at your grandfather, your uncle, your second uncle, and your fourth uncle, who can cook?"

Xu Xinger didn't think so much. After listening to Lingzi's words, she found her own misunderstanding of thinking. Nowadays, in ancient times, few men cook and do housework. Although Boss Xu and Xu Laoer are a little soft and afraid of their wives, they are like old men when they go home, and they don't help if they pour oil bottles. The master.

Thinking this way, Xu Laosan is really a good man. Not to mention loving his wife and children, now Ye is not in good health, and he has no complaints, let alone any dislikes, and has also taken care of most of the family affairs.

"Ye also, who made my father a good man!" Xu Xinger boasted proudly.

Xu Lingzi laughed more and more. His men quickly took out the dishes in the pot, stretched out their hands and bounced on Xu Xinger's forehead and said, "Oh, do you know what a good man is?"

Xu Xinger covered her forehead and ran out of the door, turned around and looked out and said, "Of course I know that my sister-in-law has to find a good man like my father to marry. I know it hurts!"

"You stinky girl, where did you hear the nonsense..." Xu Lingzi blushed with shame when she heard this, and she was embarrassed to say anything else, for fear that Xu Xinger would say something embarrassing.

Xu Xinger went home to cook. Before the dishes were finished cooking, Li came uninvited. As soon as she entered the door, she came to Xu Xinger with a smile and said, "Xing'er, did you take the radish strips from the old house today?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Xu Xinger looked at Li with some vigilance and didn't know what else she was going to do.

Li couldn't see other people's faces and continued to come forward and said, "No, I just went to the old house for dinner, and my family likes to eat very much. Your sister Yingzi usually doesn't like to eat, but today she ate a lot more radish strips than usual, so I came to ask if you still have it."

"I haven't marinated much in total, and I still have to give it away. There is only half a bowl left in my house." Xu Xinger refused directly, "Sister Yingzi eats less because she is afraid that she will gain weight, not because she can't eat it. Besides, radish strips are not a rare thing. The second aunt just go home and mix it by herself."

"Why are you so stingy? It's just a little radish strips, and it's not a good thing. They are all a family, and you can't ask for something to eat..." Li Shi saw that Xu Xinger was not soft, and her kind face suddenly changed.

"Second aunt, you said that very well. Since it's not a good thing, why do you still come to me to ask for it? If you want to be stingy, from the beginning of my memory, the second aunt has never given my family a needle or a penny. Xu Xinger didn't raise her head and poured the cabbage into the pot and stir-fried it.

"Last year, you secretly pulled my pumpkin vines into your land and said that the pumpkins in your land were all yours. At that time, why didn't you say that they were all a family? You will only say this when you take advantage of others. Do you think others are fools?

Xu Xinger has stir-fried the cabbage, added a ladle of cold water, put some sweet potato powder, covered the pot and let it stew by herself. Then she looked back at Li and said, "What's the second lady?"

Li was shameless by Xu Xinger, and her teeth were itchy. She raised her finger and said, "You, you dead girl, I don't know you like you!" After saying that, he turned around and left angrily.
