Stepmother: 183. Wuren Zongzi

Xiao Xiurong can't 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 without 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 would be unpalatable?"

"You use white thread wrap, I use black thread wrap, you cook it at our house, if you find it unpalatable, go back to the five-nut dumplings you wrapped for us, and bring back the bean paste and meat dumplings." Song Zhaodi asked, "This way Okay?"

Xiao Xiurong is embarrassed: "It's not good to ask Lao Shen to eat it. I told Xiaoying that it was her father who wanted to eat five-nut dumplings."

"That's fine." Song Zhaodi went to the supply and marketing agency and asked if she had 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. Afterwards, the two went to the non-staple food factory to buy some red dates, some fish and two kilograms of meat, and kept them for lunch and dinner.

Seeing Song Zhaodi buying walnuts, peanuts and red dates, Xiao Xiurong 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 help you make dumplings?"

"No need." Xiao Xiurong said, "We have few family members. We can pack twenty pieces. It will be finished in a while. You, you can take your sister to play."

Shen Ying stared at her for a while: "Alright 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 fine." Xiao Xiurong said, "Xiaoying wants to come over, I'm afraid she will follow."

The room was sultry, Song Zhaodi asked the children to move the chairs to the hallway, and pointed to the table to motion her to put the glutinous rice on the table: "If she comes, just ask her to come."

"I don't know how to make clothes, I don't know how to make shoes, and the cooking is not as good as my mother-in-law's cooking. Tell her to come over? Knowing that I can't even make rice dumplings, I'm useless as a stepmother." Xiao Xiurong "It's a shame to have you again for comparison."

Song Zhaodi was speechless: "Zhengang, go and soak the red beans and mung beans. Erwa, Sanwa, bring out the stuffing I prepared. How about we wrap some red bean paste 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, "You can't even tell your dad."

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

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

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

"Not at the moment." Xiao Xiurong said, "It's that little girl who knows everything, such as laundry and cooking, so she doesn't need me at all. I'm like a guest, I go to sleep every day after eating, and continue when I wake up. After eating, go to work.”

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

"Mr. Song!" Xiao Xiurong's eyes widened, "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 you." Xiao Xiurong couldn't help frowning.

Erwa: "We don't protect my mother, 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 the seven children of the Zhong family are better than each other."

"Then you should make dumplings well, 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: "Go and peel some walnuts, and then peel some peanuts."

"Fried peanuts?" Sanwa asked hurriedly.

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

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

Song Zhaodi: "Big baby and the others are not at home. We can pack 30 meals this year. It's not even ten o'clock, so we can pack them 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."

"If I had known, 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 today I'm asking for leave, and I'll make it." Xiao Xiurong said, "If I had known, I would not have stopped her."

Sanwa reminded her: "Who do you learn to make dumplings from?"

Xiao Xiurong choked 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 the bag. Before eleven o'clock, the two ran out of fillings from their Zhong family.

The Shen family originally planned to pack the original flavors, which were dumplings with nothing added, so they didn't prepare any fillings.

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

"Second baby, 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 hurriedly asked; "Do you make zongzi with five kernels?"

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 together."

"My mother is smart." Sanwa said, "Headmaster Shen has already 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 amazing, so I'm happy." Sanwa said, "Mother, I'm going to cook zongzi."

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

"I see." Xiao Xiurong couldn't help but glance to the 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 meant I was so old. It is dangerous to have children, do you think I will have or not?"

Song Zhaodi: "If you ask me to tell the truth, then you won't 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 to just find a man to make do with it. There is no difference in anyone who has been there.”

"I, I want to have a baby." Xiao Xiurong said, "but I'm afraid."

Song Zhaodi: "If you're afraid, why don't you tell your mother, if you have any good or bad, take the child to Xiao's family to support. If your mother agrees, you will have a new life. Your mother-in-law is old, and you have an emergency, she I want to take care of you, but I can't take care of you well.

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

"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 the reborn, telling 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 the 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 and waited for Song Zhaodi to come back.

Song Zhaodi saw them, her heart was sweet and astringent, and she didn't let the three children do it. She peeled eight zongzi, and her 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: "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 zongzi. Will your grandma Liu be sad when she finds out?"

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

"Teacher, let me go." Zhen Gang 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 say that when you see your grandmother Liu, I will give Liu Ping two dumplings for the Dragon Boat Festival. Your grandma Liu heard that. Let's just say that, we'll be happy to see the teeth but not the eyes."

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

Song Zhaodi quickly 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 her husband will be justifiable in the future." Erwa said, "On June 6th, on the twelfth day of the fifth lunar month in the lunar calendar, the appointment ceremony will be held. Uncle wants you to come over."

Song Zhaodi pointed at herself: "Me? Your uncle is right. There are no women at the engagement there. Women used to help with cooking, and men ate in the main room while women ate in the kitchen. eat it.”

"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 Song Zhaodi on the book was you. ."

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