After becoming a widow, I became the mother of seven children

Yan Qingqing got up early the next day and went into the kitchen after exercising with her children. She wanted to make beef jerky from the remaining beef from yesterday.

Yuan Huiniang knew that her mother-in-law was going to make delicious food again, so she followed her into the kitchen to help Yan Qingqing.

Seeing this, Yan Qingqing smiled and said: "Silang is going back to the academy today. I made beef jerky for him to take away. I think Silang has lost weight this time when he comes back."

Yuan Huiniang also echoed: "Yes, the fourth brother is growing up, and he is definitely not as good as at home in the academy. How about asking the second brother to bring lunch to the fourth brother every day from now on."

Yuan Huiniang knew that her mother-in-law loved Li Xiangkang, and she, as the elder sister-in-law, also loved him.

Yan Qingqing shook her head and said: "No, God is going to give this person a great responsibility. He must first strain his mind, strain his muscles and bones, starve his skin, deplete his body, and mess up his actions. So if you are tempted to endure, you have to do it." It’s good for what it can’t do.”

Yuan Huiniang couldn't understand what Yan Qingqing was saying, but she knew that what her mother-in-law said had profound truths.

Xiao Mochen, who was about to enter the kitchen, also heard it. He was very surprised by Yan Qingqing's words, but at the same time, he also felt enlightened.

What surprised him was that Yan Qingqing actually knew so much. This was not something that ordinary women could say.

And isn't Yan Qingqing talking about him now? To be honest, living here these days has really benefited him a lot.

Xiao Mochen made up his mind to study more with Yan Qingqing in the future.

After saying these words, Yan Qingqing started to deal with the beef in his hand.

Yan Qingqing explained to Yuan Huiniang while handling the beef: "This beef must be cut along the grain, and cut into long strips as thick as a finger.

Then add the prepared onion segments, Sichuan peppercorns, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, and seasoning sauce into the pot. "

After doing this, Yan Qingqing asked Yuan Huiniang to start lighting the fire. During this period, she prepared five spice powder and chili powder.

After the beef is cooked, Yan Qingqing takes the beef out and drains the water, then heats up the oil in the pot, puts the beef into the pot and stir-fries until the water in the beef is dried up, then Yan Qingqing takes the beef out. Sprinkle with homemade five-spice powder.

Yan Qingqing was also very tired after the pot of beef jerky was ready. She was probably still weak after giving birth. She always felt as if her body was back to its previous state.

Yan Qingqing raised her head and hit her waist to find Xiao Mochen standing outside the door watching her every move.

Yan Qingqing waved to him without much thought. When Xiao Mochen saw Yan Qingqing calling him, he hurried over and called "Auntie".

Yan Qingqing smiled, took a piece of beef jerky and stuffed it into his mouth and said, "Have a taste and see if Auntie's cooking tastes good?"

Yan Qingqing's movements were so intimate and natural, so natural that it felt like Yan Qingqing had done it a thousand times, so natural that Xiao Mochen felt that it should be like this. This feeling made Xiao Mochen feel very comfortable.

Yan Qingqing saw Xiao Mochen stupidly urging him: "Try it quickly and see if it tastes good. Although I don't make it often, it shouldn't taste bad."

Yan Qingqing is still very confident in the food she makes.

Only then did Xiao Mochen react and start chewing the beef jerky. He didn't feel anything when he first took it into his mouth, but the more he chewed it, the more delicious it became. Finally, Xiao Mochen nodded repeatedly.

After she finished eating, Yan Qingqing stuffed another one into his mouth. Xiao Mochen was good-looking and had good dining etiquette, so it was a pleasure to watch him eat.

Just like this, Xiao Mochen ate several sticks one by one, and Yan Qingqing didn't even notice when Li Xiangkang stood next to him.

Li Xiangkang said with an aggrieved look: "My mother used to think of me first when she had delicious food. These days when I go to school, my mother has really changed her mind."

Yan Qingqing suddenly had a headache when she saw the resentful look on Li Xiangkang's face. If there were too many children, there would always be one or two jealous ones. She had no choice but to coax her children.

Yan Qingqing quickly picked up the beef jerky and stuffed it into his mouth and said: "You heartless person, who did you get up early in the morning to work for? It's not all for you.

Mom, thinking of your hard work in school, specially made beef jerky for you to take away. "

Only then did Li Xiangkang realize that he had misunderstood Yan Qingqing, and he suddenly felt a little embarrassed when he thought that he was already a scholar and still doing such jealous things.

Yan Qingqing ignored him and put the beef jerky on the chopping board. After being tired all morning, she wanted to take a rest.

After breakfast, Li Xiangkang was about to return to school. Yuan Huiniang filled him with a bag full of beef jerky and asked him to take it with him.

Li Xiangkang was also very reluctant to leave home. He only took a bath once every half month, and only had to rest at home for one night before returning to the academy.

Moreover, he and Xiao Mochen chatted very well. Xiao Mochen was much better than him in terms of knowledge and knowledge. He wanted to learn more from him.

Xiao Mochen didn't want to leave Li Xiangkang because he felt that playing with Li Xiangkang made him feel at ease. One is one and two is two. There is no need to worry that Li Xiangkang has ulterior motives for him.

Seeing that the two were inseparable, Yan Qingqing said to Xiao Mochen: "Do you also want to go to school with Shiro?"

Xiao Mochen naturally wanted to go, but how could he dare to think about it now that he was living under someone else's roof.

Yan Qingqing thought for a while and said: "Wait until the end of the year. After the end of the year, I will send you to study with Shiro. You have a foundation. I will buy you some books later and you can read them first."

Xiao Mochen couldn't believe it. Although the Li family was richer than ordinary farmers, in his opinion, it was not much better. Otherwise, why would they only send Li Xiangkang to school? He and Yan Qingqing were not related. How could Yan Qingqing bother so much for him.

Yan Qingqing seemed to see through his thoughts and said with a smile: "Since you call me aunt, I will naturally treat you as my own child.

It’s not that I won’t send your three cousins ​​to study. It’s just that they are past the age of studying and they don’t have this ambition.

360 Five Elements is the number one. No matter what you do, as long as you are serious and down-to-earth, sooner or later you will shine in your own field. "

It would be false to say that he was not touched, but Xiao Mochen could no longer say anything grateful because he felt that anything he said at this time was superfluous.

After sending Li Xiangkang away, Yan Qingqing called Yuan Huiniang and told him: "Go and clean up a spare yard and let Mo Chen live there.

It was because I didn't think carefully before that it was inconvenient for my children to live with me when they were older.

In addition, I will clean up a yard for Shiro and ask him to move out from my place.

You remember that Mo Chen will also be your brother from now on, and you should treat him like Shiro. "

Although Yuan Huiniang was a little surprised when she heard this, she still nodded obediently. She felt that her mother-in-law must have a reason for giving such an order.

Yan Qingqing did not explain. She did have her own selfish motives, but it was enough for her to know.
