    Mustard is one of the most common winter vegetables in the south, comparable to Chinese cabbage in the north.  This kind of mustard is fat and can grow up to the height of an adult's waist. The leaves are green and green, and the taste has a unique bitterness and sweetness.

    When the mustard greens are tender, they can be stir-fried, and when they are fat, they can be made into pickles.  Don't underestimate pickled vegetables, this is an indispensable dish for every household in rural areas.  Especially in the winter when there is a shortage of vegetables, many people have a plate of steamed buns with multigrain noodles and a plate of pickled vegetables on the dining table.  Fresh mustard greens are the best source of vitamin supplements in winter.

    The mustard greens were quickly cleaned, Lin Ranran cut the mustard greens into large pieces, and sliced ??the winter bamboo shoots.  Put the mustard greens into the pot under cold water, and cover the pot without adding anything.

    Sister-in-law Hongxia was dumbfounded: "Of course, don't you need to add anything?"

    "No, just take out the firewood after boiling, and cook on a low fire." Lin Ranran ordered.

    "Will this taste delicious?" Sister-in-law Hongxia sat in front of the stove and was burning a fire, muttering to herself.

    There are three pots on the stove in the countryside, one for cooking, one for steaming rice, and one for cooking pig food.  Although every household is not allowed to raise pigs now, the pot is used to boil water.

    A large piece of firewood can be put in the eye of the stove and it can burn for a long time.  Sister-in-law Hongxia adjusted the heat, stood up and saw Lin Ranran cutting taro.

    Sister-in-law Hongxia hurriedly said: "Of course, didn't you bring this? Put it down quickly!"

    "It's just a taro, and it's worthless. I'll make something delicious for the children to taste." Lin Ranran smiled.

    Sister-in-law Hongxia was right when she thought about it. Although taro and sweet potatoes are considered coarse grains, they are really nothing in rural areas. One catty of food stamps can be exchanged for six catties of sweet potatoes.  In those villages that produce sweet potatoes, if you exchange a load of rice, you can drag a cart back!

    Thinking about Hongxia's sister-in-law in this way, she didn't say anything more.  Besides, what delicious taro can be made?  They usually almost vomit.

    Lin Ranran didn't care what Hongxia's sister-in-law was thinking.  When the mustard greens were almost cooked, she put the sliced ??winter bamboo shoots into the pot and cooked them together.  Mash the garlic into a puree by yourself, mix well with a little soy sauce, sugar, chopped pepper, and vinegar, and make a seasoning dish.

    "Okay, sister-in-law, take out the mustard greens first." Lin Ranran said.

    "Stop playing! Hurry up and wash your hands and eat!" Hongxia's sister-in-law went out with a basin and yelled.

    A few children were having fun, and Lin Daguan was repairing wooden stools.  Wen Yan drove the children to wash their hands and eat.

    The dining table of Hongxia¡¯s sister-in-law¡¯s house was set in the main room, and the big guys gathered around the dining table, staring at a pot of hot mustard greens and stewed winter bamboo shoots.

    The mustard greens turn yellow-green after being boiled, and the winter bamboo shoots are yellow and tender slices, floating in the clear soup without a little oil, exuding a strange fragrance.

    Lin Daguan disapproved and said, "Why don't you get some meat?"

    This dish is too shabby, worse than what they usually eat at home.  His wife is not such a stingy person either.

    Sister-in-law Hongxia smiled wryly and said: "Ranran made this. She said she would make some new dishes for us to try. Please join us later, so don't make people lose face."

    Lin Daguan agreed.

    Tiedan ran into the house with Xiaoqiu and Xiaojing, and leaned on the edge of the table: "Mom, what's delicious today? What is it?"

    "Have you washed your hands clean?!" Aunt Hongxia slapped the back of his hand with a chopstick.

    Tie Dan stretched out his hand: "It's clean! Xiao Qiu stared at me and washed it several times. Look at my hand, it's almost peeling off!"

    "My sister said, you should wash your hands before meals and pay attention to hygiene." Xiaoqiu said like a little adult.

    "Look at our Xiaoqiu, how much we love cleanliness and how sensible we are." Hongxia's sister-in-law said happily, and looked at Xiaoqiu and Xiaojing.  Ruddy, completely different from the village children who look like little mud monkeys.

    "Come, let's go to the table for dinner." Sister-in-law Hongxia seated the two children at the table, and each took a steamed bun, "Why haven't they come yet? I'll go and see."

    "It smells so good, mother, did you buy toffee?" Tie Dan sniffed suddenly.

    "What toffee, are you hungry again" Sister-in-law Hongxia said, and also smelled the aroma.

    Everyone smelled a strong fragrance, like toffee, like taro, and sweet: "What is this smell?"

    Lin Ranran came in holding a bowl, and the smell was getting closer.  The big guy's eyes were fixed on the bowl in Lin Ranran's hand, and even Lin Daguan swallowed his saliva.

    Xiaojing called out: "Sister, what delicious food did you cook?"

    "Guess what?" Lin Ranran put the bowl on the table, and there was a lump of lavender in the rough porcelain shallow sea bowl.

    "This is what is this?" Lin Daguan asked.Grandpa!  "With a heart-piercing wail, Lin Wang jumped three feet high, beating his chest and wailing.

    This time is different from howling, she really regrets it, why didn't she think of giving the job to her youngest son!  Fifty yuan, compared with her son's ability to enter the city to work as a worker, Wang Lin can figure it out without any experience. She really picked up sesame seeds and lost watermelons.

    No one paid any attention to Lin Wang who was crying, Lin Jianshe hurriedly said to his father: "Father, let's return the fifty yuan to the leader, talk to him carefully, and get the job back!"

    "That's right! The boss lives so well in the city, the family lives in two small rooms, and they can still send back ten yuan a month. They must keep more for themselves. No matter how they work, they have to come back." Lin Jianguo  Also said.

    Others thought the same way, and they all stared at Lin Wuxing fiercely.

    Lin Wuxing closed his eyes and thought for a while, then sighed: "Boss, this job is so sought-after. After so long, how could he keep it for you?"

    In the eyes of the whole family, Lin Wuxing knows everything.  Now he shook his head, dispelling Lin Jianguo and Lin Jianshe's hopes with one sentence.

    At this moment, they couldn't help but hate Mrs. Lin Wang.  What a respectable job the boss has!  Wearing dark blue overalls, driving a car, able to live in a small building in the city, eat commodity food, and marry a well-educated and beautiful daughter-in-law like their sister-in-law.  Whether they admit it or not, they are all jealous of the boss in their hearts.

    In the past, they thought that they could only be farmers with their faces facing the loess and their backs to the sky for the rest of their lives.

    But when they knew that they were only one step away from the ladder to become city people!  But his mother sold it for fifty yuan!

    This gap between gain and loss made both country men feel extremely painful.

    No one paid any attention to Mrs. Lin Wang, and hurried back to their own room, intending to question their daughter-in-law carefully.

    The meeting of the Lin family ended in such a mess.

    As soon as Lin Jianshe came into the house, he scolded his daughter-in-law: "What do you think? You didn't remind mother to get me the job, so you exchanged fifty yuan?"

    Liu Min regretted it a lot just now, and said with red eyes: "How do I know this? Mom just asked me to pack up the boss's things, and she didn't tell me that she sold her job!"

    Lin Jianshe said angrily: "You just stare at those little things, staring at the clothes of the eldest daughter-in-law, you really"

    Liu Min's voice became sharp: "I'm just staring at those things? The boss's pen, the flashlight, are you holding it? And the new clothes of Pingping and Hang Hang, I didn't look at them, they were already picked up by the second brother's family."  It's gone!"

    "It's all right." Lin Jianshe waved his hand, expressing that he was not as knowledgeable as her.  Annoyed, he said: "Back then, the boss was so lucky that he was recruited. Otherwise, we would be the ones who are eating commodity food and living in small buildings! And Hang Hang, who can also study in the elementary school for children in the city!"

    They judge others by themselves, and they don't think that the money and food that Lin Jianbin sent back were saved from the family's teeth, but that Lin Jianguo must have hidden most of it.

    If they can go to the city to work, wouldn't they be popular and drink spicy food, and they still need to watch Mrs. Lin's face at home?

    Liu Min's lips trembled, tears and snot pouring out.  She really doesn't know this!

    At this time, Lin Pingping rushed in and burst into tears: "Mom, Lord wants me to return the new padded jacket to Ranran!" (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
