After her husband died, her parents came to force her to remarry

Jiang Xiaohe added water to the pot and started to light the fire.

When I was a child, there was a jujube tree right in front of my house in my hometown. Every year at this time, my grandmother would use the jujubes to make some jujube cakes. This jujube cake could be said to be her only snack throughout the year.

Sometimes when there was a market, grandma would take some to the town to sell and then buy some meat.

When she thought of this, she still felt a little uncomfortable.

Wang Qiuxia saw that she looked strange and called out, "Daughter-in-law?"

When Jiang Xiaohe came to her senses, she found that her eyes were actually very wet.

"Why are you still crying? Is it too hot? Wash the sweet potatoes. I'll get you some firewood. Just put them in and burn them slowly. There's no need to watch over them."

Having said that, the man went out.

Jiang Xiaohe felt her cheeks were burning, so she quickly stood up from the stove door, wiped her eyes, and went to get a basin of water to wash her face, which made her feel a little better.

"Mom, I might need to use that rolling pin later."

"Then wash it and bring it to you."

Wang Qiuxia added more firewood and went to wash the rolling pin.

When the sour jujubes in the pot were cooked, Jiang Xiaohe used a bamboo spoon to drain the ripe fruits and put them into the pot. Then she put down the steamer and continued to steam the sweet potatoes in the pot.

After the sour dates have cooled down for a while, I start peeling them.

"Mom is here to help you."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law spent a long time peeling half a basket of sour jujubes.

Put the peeled sour dates into a clean wooden basin.

Jiang Xiaohe stirred it while taking out the core.

Seeing that it was getting late, Wang Qiuxia wiped her hands and prepared to cook.

Jiang Xiaohe shouted, "Mom, I bought two bones and some flour this morning. Let's have some noodles tonight."

"Are you greedy?" Wang Qiuxia asked with a smile, wearing an apron.

Jiang Xiaohe raised her head and smiled: "My family made some money today, let's have a good meal."

"Okay, okay, it's up to you."

Wang Qiuxia took the sweet potatoes out of the steamer and let them cool aside. She then washed the bones and put them into the pot to boil. If the bones were boiled for a longer time, oil would appear in the soup.

After Jiang Xiaohe picked out all the fruit cores, she went to the kitchen to get out the sweet potatoes, crushed them with a rolling pin, put them into the sour dates, then took out the white sugar she had bought during the day and put it all into the basin.

Wang Qiuxia took one look and hurried over: "Xiao He, is this sugar?"

Jiang Xiaohe nodded: "I bought it specifically for making this food, it's really expensive."

Wang Qiuxia was very anxious. This sugar was very expensive. "If we put so much in, how much silver would it cost?"

Jiang Xiaohe saw her distress and comforted her, "Mom, if you put so many precious things in it, how can it not taste good? With something so delicious, are you still worried about not being able to sell it for money?"

This this...

This is the truth, but she still feels distressed and wants to say something, but then she remembers what her husband said, that the money was earned by her daughter-in-law, and she can do whatever she wants with it.

She shut up instantly: "Okay, Mom doesn't understand those things, just do your thing."

Jiang Xiaohe kept stirring the white sugar, sweet potatoes and jujube meat back and forth until the three were fully blended, and then took out the two wooden boxes she had prepared in the afternoon.

When I bought meat and bones in the morning, I asked the butcher for two pieces of wax paper to fit the box. Then I poured the pulp into the box, spread a layer on top, and smoothed the surface with a rolling pin.

After the two wooden boxes were full, there was still a lot left in the basin. After searching around, I found only the oil paper used to wrap the bones. So I made do with it, wiped it, turned it over and spread it in the basin, then poured in the pulp.

"Is that it?" Wang Qiuxia asked.

Jiang Xiaohe nodded: "Just let it dry for a few more days."

At this time, Zhang Fu also came back carrying a bucket.

With sweat all over her trouser legs, Wang Qiuxia quickly took the bucket from him and complained distressedly, "I told you not to plant rice on that piece of land, but you didn't believe me. Look how hot it is these days, and you have to carry water all day long."

Zhang Fu wiped his face with a handkerchief. He was really tired after carrying water for the whole afternoon. "I was thinking that it would be good if we could collect more food and sell it."

Wang Qiuxia sighed, feeling sorry for her man, and took the handkerchief: "Okay, go and have a rest, the meal will be ready soon."

Zhang Fu nodded.

Zhang Chuan in the room was crying again. Jiang Xiaohe put the sour jujube cake in a ventilated place, wiped her hands, and hurried to hug the baby.

After a simple meal in the evening, the family enjoyed the cool air in their yard.

Jiang Xiaohe said: "Mom and Dad, let's take some time tomorrow to go into the mountains again and bring back some more sour dates."

Zhang Fu nodded: "I'll listen to you!"

The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, a quarrel broke out from somewhere in the village.

Jiang Xiaohe turned over and wanted to continue sleeping, but the noise outside was getting louder and louder.

There was really no other choice but to get up.

He frowned and asked Wang Qiuxia: "Mom, which family is quarreling?"

Wang Qiuxia ran out, took a look, and came back and said, "It seems to be Xu Xiaohua's family. I don't know what they are arguing about, but it sounds like her aunt is talking."

Jiang Xiaohe didn't care at first, but when she heard it was Xu Xiaohua's house, she immediately realized something was wrong.

She slapped her forehead and thought, it's over. How could she have forgotten about this? Yesterday, Xu Xiaohua received a "huge sum of money", so naturally she went to see a doctor for her grandmother first. When the doctor came, some people naturally became jealous. Besides, her aunt was not a easy person to get along with, otherwise she would not have clamored for a division of the family as soon as her father died.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaohe could not hesitate, washed her face, and said to Wang Qiuxia:

"Mom, I'll go take a look." After saying that, he ran out.

"Hey, we haven't eaten yet." Before Wang Qiuxia finished her words, Jiang Xiaohe had already run far away.

Wang Qiuxia sighed, thinking that she just wanted to watch the fun, so she didn't care and let her go.

The closer they got to Xu Xiaohua's house, the louder the noise became, mixed with Xu Xiaohua's crying.

Jiang Xiaohe ran faster and when she arrived at Xu Xiaohua's house, she saw that many people had gathered outside the door and the sky was getting brighter.

She gasped and heard a sarcastic voice from inside: "You said you didn't steal our silver, so where did you get so much silver from?"

Xu Xiaohua cried and said, "Aunt, I really didn't steal your money!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman started cursing again: "Okay, okay, you still don't admit it! I will beat you to death today, you stole someone's things!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a few muffled groans were heard, and the crowd was talking about it: This woman is so cruel!

But more people think Xu Xiaohua deserves it! If she steals things at such a young age, what will happen to her when she grows up!

Jiang Xiaohe rushed in, and just as Xu's stick was about to fall again, she grabbed her hand...
