Lucky Wife at 50s

At 7:30 in the evening, the sky was already dark, and the entire small mountain village was already silent.

Shen Yuerong was sitting at the door of the main room making insoles, and from time to time she looked up at the door of the courtyard.

"What time is it, why haven't the two children come back yet?"

Qi Yuanhua drank his tea leisurely, "Maybe there is something delayed on the road, how can someone so old be lost?"

"It's getting dark now. Huanhuan went out and said that they would be back before dinner. Say, did something happen to the two of them?"

Shen Yuerong has been hanging in her heart since it was time for dinner, and she hasn't seen the couple come back. After all, it's not peaceful outside, who knows if there will be any unexpected situation?

Thinking of this, Shen Yuerong immediately put down the insole and couldn't sit still.

The insole in her hand was originally used to distract her attention, but now it's almost eight o'clock, and it's dark outside, but the two of them are still nowhere to be seen.

This made her have no intention of making insoles.

"Don't think about it, maybe the two of them are already on their way home." Qi Yuanhua put down the teacup to stop his daughter-in-law's bad thoughts.

Qi Jun was sitting in the main room fiddling with carving wood, but when he heard his mother's words, he couldn't help but stand up.

"Mother, let me go to the village entrance to see."

"Okay, you can go with a kerosene lamp, just to show your brother and sister-in-law a way, it will be dark and blind, and I don't know if they have torches."

Shen Yuerong agreed without hesitation. While talking, she lit another kerosene lamp in the room and handed it to her younger son.

"Go, be careful when you go out."

If it's a girl going out at night, she must be worried, but if it's a son, then she is naturally at ease. What can happen to a boy at night?

Qi Jun went out with a kerosene lamp, but within two minutes of walking, he came back with a kerosene lamp.

"Mom, we're back~"

Shen Yuerong heard the voice of her younger son, and was about to ask him why he came back, but when she looked up, she saw the figures of the eldest and Huanhuan.

"Boss, Huanhuan, you are back."

After Qin Tianru went down the mountain, she went down by herself. She took out some food items from the storage space and put them in a cloth pocket.

After all, the two of them went out once, so they couldn't go home empty-handed.

As soon as the two of them walked near the house, they met Qi Jun who went out to greet them. Fortunately, they were going down the mountain from the village entrance, otherwise they would be exposed.

Seeing his mother-in-law's expression, Qin Tianru knew that he was afraid of worrying them tonight.

"I'm sorry, mother, we didn't notice the time for a while, so we came back late, which made you worry."

"As long as you come back safely, everything went smoothly today, right?"

When Shen Yuerong saw that the couple came back safe and sound, the stone hanging in her heart was completely relieved, and she no longer held on to the problem.

"Everything went well. Brother Han and I have good luck and bought a lot of good things."

Qin Tianru took Shen Yuerong's hand and walked to the main room talking and laughing.

"." Qi Han, who was directly ignored by his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, was not annoyed at all, and there was even a smile on the corner of his mouth.

His family Huanhuan is really likable, looking at the way their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along, and some people believe that they are mother and daughter. Of course, he is happy to see it happen. The better their relationship, the better his life will be. will be better.

Qi Han, who was hanging at the gate of the courtyard, resigned to his fate and closed the gate, and followed him into the main room.

As for the cloth pockets brought back by the couple, Qi Jun took the lead back to the main room.

As soon as the Hantian couple came home, the atmosphere at home immediately became lively.

Qi Qing was busy running and pouring tea and water, while Shen Yuerong also brought the warm food in the stove to the table.

Qi Jun told the young couple what they had done at home all day.

Qi Han and Qin Tianru were hungry a long time ago. After seeing the food on the table, the two immediately started to eat, and then from time to time they echoed the questions of the next family.

The young couple has long since unified their caliber, and today they are going out for a walk.

With this delay, the Qi family courtyard did not go back to the room to rest until 9:30 in the evening.

——

The next day, only Qin Tianru and Qi Han stayed at home in the Qi family courtyard, and the rest went out.

Shen Yuerong's mother and daughter and Yang Hongying's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law made an appointment to go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables. This is what the women in the production team have to do every morning as usual.

And Qi Yuanhua took Qi Jun to visit his uncle's house.

Originally, Shen Yuerong's mother and daughter wanted to follow Qin Tianru up the mountain. After all, she was lucky. Every time they had an unexpected harvest last time, what the mother and daughter didn't know was that Qin Tianru was in the mountains all day yesterday.

As a result, when she woke up this morning, Qin Tianru's feet were completely sore, and now she heard the word 'going up the mountain' and her feet were shaking.

It is no exaggeration to say that the mountain road she walked yesterday was the day she walked the most since she was born.

Therefore, Qin Tianru doesn't plan to go up the mountain any more these days.

"Brother Han, is this earth oven ready?"

Looking at the crypt-style oven built in the corner of the courtyard, Qin Tianru suddenly felt that it was a bit novel. She had only seen this thing, but had not used it.

"Another two days, and it can be used when it is completely dry." Qi Han replied while cutting the branches.

Qin Tianru nodded: "Okay, then wait two more days."

She can't wait to use this earthen oven to make snacks. During this time, due to the limitation of equipment and props, she can't do anything else to eat.

Staying at home today, Qin Tianru intends to pickle the wild vegetables that he picked home two days ago.

When it comes to pickling, all kinds of pickles come to her mind.

So, Qin Tianru started to prepare, the ingredients were already packed by her mother-in-law and Xiaoqing, and all she had to do was to prepare the ingredients and do the last step of the marinating procedure.

At present, the pickled ingredients at home are: endive vegetables, broom vegetables, spring bamboo shoots, and white radishes.

In addition to these four, there are also a small amount of morel mushrooms and tea tree mushrooms, plus pickled wild roe deer meat.

Today Qin Tianru is going to make three kinds of pickled vegetables with different flavors.

Don't look at the cheapness of pickles, and they can't even be on the table. In fact, there is a kind of knowledge in it.

Many times, people think that kimchi is pickle, and pickle is kimchi.

In fact, the difference between the two is only between urban and rural areas: the city is called pickled vegetables, and the village is called pickled vegetables.

But pickles are not pickles, and pickles are not pickles, just because of the difference between urban and rural areas, there is a distinction between true and false.

To be honest, kimchi and mustard are both in the pickled vegetables series, but the method is slightly different.

Kimchi seeks quick success and instant benefit. It is soaked in chemicals for one night and then brought out for human consumption, which is relatively harmful to the body.
