Chapter 7

"I still have a few dollars here. I'll buy a few kilograms of grain tomorrow." Guo Xiang took out the remaining four yuan in his pocket.

Wang Guiying looked at the money in her hand in surprise. Did she have money? Did the Guo family give it to her or did her son leave it to her?

But anyway, it's all her own. How can the mother-in-law ask for her daughter-in-law's money?

"That's yours. Keep it yourself..." Wang Guiying shook her head and said.

"Mom, I'm your daughter-in-law. What else do you share? It's what Zhennan left to me, just for home." Guo Xiang smiled.

In her previous life, she had heard a lot of discord between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. She knew that her mother-in-law was not a mother, so she had no hope for the relationship between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. However, Wang Guiying is a good person. She is kind to herself and should repay her kindness.

"What Zhennan left you is yours. You see, I didn't buy you a new dress or a pair of new shoes when I got married. I'm sorry for you..." Wang Guiying said shyly. I didn't expect that the Guo family didn't accompany a dowry.

"Mom, it's me who should say I'm sorry..." Guo Xiang said. She was embarrassed because the marriage was wrongly made by the Guo family.

"Mom, I want white rice!" Guo'er said at the right time, looked pitifully at his mother, looked at the rice on the table and swallowed saliva.

Wang Guiying sighed that the child was growing up, but he didn't have a good meal of white rice. It was very distressing.

"Then... Eat!" Wang Guiying smiled bitterly.

"Oh, there's rice!" The fruit cheered.

Guo Xiang's nose is sour. When is it an extravagant hope to have a full meal?

She touched Guo'er's small head. "Guo'er, don't worry. You can eat white rice every day with your sister-in-law."

"Yes!" Guo'er's eyes are bright. I don't know how I think what my sister-in-law said can be done.

"Oh, by the way..." Guo Xiang patted his forehead. "I also bought fish and tofu. I forgot all this trouble."

"And fish?" Fruit surprise.

Guo Xiang hurried back to the yard. Just now he put the fish and tofu on the pig dishes. Fortunately, uncle Gu didn't see them when they went out, otherwise they would be taken away.

Guo Xiang carried the fish and tofu into the hall. Wang Guiying greeted him and scolded "what to do with this money". She was still happy.

"Mom, you're hurt. I'll do it..." Guo Xiang said and shut up again. He won't.

"Guo'er, you do it and I'll teach you." Guo Xiang waved to Guo er.

"I'll come, I'll come, she won't......" Wang Guiying said.

"No, we can do it. Mom, go and have a rest." Guo Xiang hurriedly pressed Wang Guiying.

Although she can't do it, she knows how to do it. Because she has the ability of never forgetting, watching what her mother made in her previous life, watching TV programs and reading books, she has a lot of recipes in her head, but she seldom practices.

First, her family doesn't need her to do it. Second, she doesn't know the heat and seasoning dosage. She just has methods, so she can teach others to do it, but she can't do it by herself.

She also tried in previous lives, but she either cooked raw or charred, either too salty or too light. She has no talent for cooking.

But it's a living recipe.

"OK, sister-in-law, you teach me!" Guo'er said with a smile.

The poor people's children are early masters of the family. Although there is Wang Guiying at home, Guo'er doesn't do less housework at all. Her mother is hard, and her brothers are not at home. She won't work so hard only if she does more.

"First deal with the fish, scrape the scales and remove the internal organs." Guo Xiang said.

"If you have fish oil and eggs, keep them." Wang Guiying said.

Guo Xiang smiled and didn't speak. He didn't have anything to eat. Naturally, he was not willing to throw it into the water.

However, the fish is too small and there are no eggs. The water is too small. Guo Er takes out all the internal organs and wants to throw them away. Wang Guiying is distressed and throws them to the chicken.

"Put some oil in the pan, cut two pieces of ginger, two onions, fry the fish down, and when the fish are fried yellow on both sides, pour some wine... If there is no wine, add water directly." Guo Xiang said.

"Yes, I made sweet potato wine at home." Wang Guiying made another remark and poured some wine from the kitchen cabinet.

Guo'er scooped a spoonful of lard according to what she said. Just when it fell down, Wang Guiying shouted, "enough, enough, don't pour too much..."

Guo Xiang couldn't laugh or cry.

When the oil is hot, the ginger slices and scallions are fried. When the ginger and scallions are fragrant, the crucian carp is fried on both sides, and the smell of the fish comes out.

Pour in a little wine, "hiss" with a hot smell, and then pour in water, cover the pot cover and increase the fire. In a moment, the fish soup turns white.

Cut tofu into the pot and continue to burn. Bursts of fish fragrance mixed with the smell of ginger and scallion floated out of the pot.

"How fragrant!" I haven't eaten such delicious food for a long time.

When the tofu was almost cooked, Guo Xiang asked, "Mom, do you have perilla at home? It's better to put two pieces. "

"There are in the field. I'll pick it." Wang Guiying said.

Went to the backyard, picked some perilla, washed it with water and handed it to Guo'er.

Guo Er threw the Perilla into the pot and boiled it for two minutes, which made the aroma stronger. Then add salt to taste, sprinkle scallion, crucian bean curd soup out of the pot.

Milk white soup and green scallions make you have a big appetite.

Guo'er swallows his saliva while holding fish soup. It's so delicious!

"It's so rich today, like the New Year!" Guo'er looked at the yellow eggs on the table, as well as the fragrant crucian bean curd, with a smile on his face.

Guo Xiang is a little sad. A bowl of eggs and a bowl of fish will celebrate the new year? I was tired of eating delicacies in my previous life, and I couldn't interest in big fish and meat at all.

But now they are very happy with such a simple meal. Were they too extravagant before?

"Eat quickly!" Guo Xiang touched Guo er's small head and said with pity.

"Well, you too, sister-in-law." Guo'er nodded heavily and his eyes were bent with laughter. There were white rice, fish and eggs. It was so happy!

Although Wang Guiying was distressed, she was still happy to see her daughter so happy and her daughter-in-law so filial.

"Eat more!" Guo Xiang gave Guo Er fish meat. If Wang Guiying was not willing to eat, she would eat fish heads without meat.

"Sister-in-law, you eat too!" Guo'er also sandwiched an egg for Guo Xiang with a smile. From now on, she admitted in her heart that Guo Xiang was her sister-in-law.

Wang Guiying looked at the sensible two and was very pleased.

"Well, it's delicious. The fruit is really good." Guo Xiang praised while drinking fish soup.

"It's your sister-in-law. You teach well." Guo'er said with a smile that this was the first time she had made such a delicious dish.

"Sister-in-law, you said you couldn't do it. Isn't that good?" Guo'er asked curiously.

"I won't. I just read the recipe and remember how to do it..." Guo Xiang smiled and was a little embarrassed.

"It's all right, sister-in-law. I'll do it later. Just tell me what to do." Guo'er smiled.

"OK." Guo Xiang nodded and pointed to his head, "I have a lot of recipes here. This fish soup is still my mother's practice, and others..."

"Your mother?" Wang Guiying and Guo'er look at Guo Xiang in surprise. Is it the bitch of the Guo family?

"Er..." he slipped his tongue. Guo Xiang put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand. "In fact, I'm not the Guo family's own child. I was saved by the Guo family a year ago. Then I stayed at her house for a year. Later, I fell into the water and met Zhennan, and the result was..."

"Then why don't you go home?" Guo'er asked curiously.

"I lost my memory..." Guo Xiang smiled bitterly. "I don't know who I am or where my home is now. I only vaguely remember what happened this year..."

"The taste of this fish soup is very familiar. It feels like my mother's taste in my mind. In fact, I don't remember who and where my mother is..." Guo Xiang is disappointed. It's not that he doesn't remember, but that there is no such thing in the world?

"Sister-in-law..." Guo'er looked at Guo Xiang sympathetically. It turned out that this was the case. It turned out that Guo's eldest brother and sister-in-law were completely unaware, and she didn't mean it.

And she has amnesia. She can't even remember where her home is. What a pity.

"Xiangxiang, don't be sad!" Wang Guiying stretched out her hand to cover Guo Xiang's hand and patted it, "in the future, this is your home. You are my daughter. Zhennan dares to be bad to you. I can't spare him!"

"Niang..." Guo Xiang was moved by the sentence "here is your home". She, a modern person who has never suffered anything, crossed here, homeless and helpless. If she still met a bad mother-in-law, she really didn't know how to live.

Although Wang Guiying is an illiterate rural woman, she is a kind-hearted and reasonable good man. She is very glad that she can come to this home.

She thought that even if she divorced Gu Zhennan, she would treat Wang Guiying as her own mother and Guo'er as her own sister.
