After dressing as a superb old woman, I am bound to the power system

For today's birthday party, Qiao Lan put a lot of thought into making the dishes that suited her taste. Of course, the children at home also liked it.

Duan Siyu had started eating complementary foods a long time ago. Duan Siyu was sitting on the exclusive wooden chair custom-made for her by her grandmother, stretching out her little hands and screaming, as if she was extremely greedy.

This table was a round table custom-made with an iron stove. The dishes were placed in the middle of the table, out of Duan Siyu's reach. When he saw his mother sitting next to him, he stretched out his little hands and shouted, occasionally shouting in a vague tone,

"Mom...eat...".

The saliva from his mouth had already flowed down uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Mrs. Shang smiled and wiped the corners of her daughter's mouth, "Don't worry, let it cool down before I give it to you."

Qiao Lan smiled, tore off a chicken leg from the roasted chicken, removed the outer chicken skin, and handed the drumstick to Duan Siyu.

The sauce for marinating this chicken is simple, the chicken is smooth and tender, and even children can eat it.

Duan Siyu was so happy that she immediately stuffed it into her mouth. The little girl only had two front teeth the size of rice grains, so she couldn't chew anything hard. She could only grind her front teeth to taste the chicken.

Mrs. Wang arrived late, carrying a large bowl of hot red date rice cakes.

The rice cakes are made by Qiao Lan.

Qiao Lan originally thought about making cakes and other snacks so that her granddaughter, who didn't have all her teeth, could eat some.

Unfortunately, there are no complete ingredients at home, so we can only steam a pot of red date rice cakes. Children who are only one year old cannot eat too many sweets. It is not good to add brown sugar. Peel the red dates, grind them into puree and mix them into the rice milk, which will be better than the red dates themselves.

The sweetness is lighter, slightly sweet in the mouth, just right.

It's just that Qiao Lan didn't cook much, so each person could only share one piece and couldn't eat with open stomach. There were many delicacies on the table, so this matter was not a big problem for the Duan family.

Duan Siyu got the rice cake and threw the chicken legs aside, happily eating the rice cake.

After Qiao Lan used her chopsticks, the children and grandchildren in the family happily picked up the dishes they wanted to eat.

After eating this meal, the men, women, and children of the Duan family were so satisfied that they were sweating all over.

Seeing that the delicious food on the table had been swept away, the children were still a little reluctant to part with it even though they were full. They immediately started thinking about their next meal and asked Qiao Lan when they could eat such delicious food next time.

Qiao Lan cleared the dishes on the table and said to her children and grandchildren, "It's not easy to eat this meal again. Your mother started preparing it last night. She got up early in the morning to wash vegetables and wash rice. The water is very cold in the winter.

The vegetables are so frozen. I spent a lot of money on meat and vegetables, almost 400 yuan in total. I will have to wait until the Chinese New Year to eat something this good next time.”

After listening to this, the look of anticipation on the faces of the older children gradually faded away, replaced by thoughts and confusion.

Duan Yujin immediately lowered his head and admitted his mistake and said: "Grandma, my grandson is wrong. My grandson should not just be greedy and not considerate of the hard work of my grandmother, mother, and two aunts."

Duan Yutao then admitted his mistake. When the younger children saw this, they all panicked.

Mrs. Wang put away the dishes and took a look at the old lady's face. She knew that the old lady didn't mean to be angry, so she didn't speak to help the children.

Qiao Lan's original intention was to let the children know that this meal was not easy, and she did not want them to bow their heads and admit their mistakes. She immediately softened her tone and said comfortingly, "Why do you admit your mistakes? You didn't do anything wrong? I gave you this meal."

I made it, and I asked me to buy the dishes, so you just have to eat them."

"Grandma is telling you this because she wants you to know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are not cheap. Even if you are not a family now, you should know this. Every needle and thread costs money, and you have to know where the money is earned.

It didn't fall from the sky, it was earned from a penny."

Duan Yutao put one hand on the table, with a slightly aggrieved look on his face, "Grandma, I'll give you all my money."

Qiao Lan smiled and touched Duan Yutao's head, "Grandma is not asking you for money. You are still young. When it is not time to make money, even if you can make money, you will definitely not make as much as adults. Just study hard and think about making money when you grow up.

matter."

The children regained their original joyful expressions.

The smile on Qiao Lan's face did not break, she gathered her chopsticks and continued, "Although you can't make money now, you can do something for the family, such as putting away the bowls and chopsticks after eating, cleaning the table and sweeping the yard, etc.

You have to know..."

The children nodded one by one and helped their mother pack her things.

Duan Yutao stood by the table, as if he wanted to help, but he was too young, and Mrs. Shang was afraid that he would drop the bowl, so she refused to let him serve it.

Duan Sitong put a small wrung-out rag into his cousin's hand and taught him how to wipe the stool. Duan Yutao learned very happily, and Duan Siqi and Duan Sihua also got their own jobs.

Seeing the younger members of the family helping with the work, Duan Mingqing and Duan Yutao also helped clean up the leftovers. They were used to doing the work at home. Moving tables and chairs and fetching a few buckets of well water was not a big deal.

Duan Mingjing was the only one standing there with a frown on his face, his face stiff.

For Mr. Duan, who grew up in a traditional environment, it is very common for the woman to take charge of the house and the man to take care of the housework. The woman will naturally clean the pots and pans after dinner.

I have never heard of any family where men wash the dishes after meals. Only country men who are unlucky enough to marry a wicked woman will wash the dishes themselves.

How could a virtuous and virtuous wife let her husband wash the dishes? Duan Mingjing, who grew up in such an environment, had this idea. He is a grown man, how can he do housework?

Duan Mingqing, Duan Mingchen and Duan Mingjing are very different.

Duan Mingqing grew up in poverty. He has washed his own clothes since he was a child. Washing dishes and clearing the table are normal to him. Although Duan Mingchen is a young master, he knows that his family's situation is not as good as it used to be. There are no servants at home to serve him.

, he had to do all the work, so he was extremely obedient to Qiao Lan's arrangements.

Qiao Lan feels that she is a good grandma, and plans to cultivate her children in all aspects of morality, intelligence, physical education, and work. She hopes that they will develop in an all-round way and not become young people who only study hard. They should develop in a balanced and comprehensive way. As for why she said it today, it is because she had previously

I'm too busy, so I'll tell you when I have time today.

Duan Mingjing stood stiff on the spot, hesitating whether to go to work or not.

Everyone in the family was working, so there was no room for Duan Mingjing to interfere.

Qiao Lan finished clearing the table and glanced at Duan Mingjing. She felt that this man standing by the door was particularly disturbing, so she said, "It's been a long time since we've eaten. Go to the chicken coop and check on the chickens. Be careful not to let the fire go out."

Duan Mingjing suddenly felt like he was being pardoned. He responded, turned around and walked out of the yard to the chicken coop. He comforted himself in his heart that he could also work. If he wanted to raise chickens, he should raise them every day! It was very hard work.

!

The Duan family's winter days gradually passed in this calm and peaceful atmosphere.

Qiao Lan counted the days of the New Year and the completion progress of the system day by day, and gradually added a lot of fertilized eggs to the chicken coop.

When the number of eggs reached more than two hundred, a large group of people staggered towards Duanjiacun.
