A Beautiful Stepmother In the 1980s, Married a Factory Director and Raised a Child

Chapter 10: Men are not reliable (1/2)

In the afterglow of the setting sun, smoke rose from the village and there was silence everywhere.

Si Nian walked into the house and glanced at the two guys. Zhou Yuedong was still reading seriously, but Zhou Yuehan was obviously restless and had a drowsy expression.

Seeing her come back, he sat up straight and pretended to be studying seriously, but in fact his eyes were desperately looking at the things in her hands.

When he saw the big bag of candy, his eyes were wide open.

Si Nian put the White Rabbit milk candy and biscuits on the table and put the other vegetables into the kitchen.

Zhou Yuehan rubbed his eyes, "Brother, look, she bought a lot of biscuits and candies!"

Zhou Yuedong glanced and retracted his gaze, "Those are not bought for you, what's so good about them."

In the past, the adoptive father would give money to the previous adoptive mother and let her buy food for them, but the adoptive mother would buy it and eat it herself, and would not look at them more.

Zhou Yuehan swallowed hard and said embarrassedly, "That's true."

Si Nian was sorting out the purchased materials in the kitchen, arranging various seasonings neatly, and pouring the purchased rice and flour into the jars before preparing dinner.

While putting water to cook rice, she was thinking about what she would do later.

After all, she only had 100 yuan in her hand now, and this trip today cost her 20 yuan.

Although she and Zhou Yueshen were married, they had not yet obtained a certificate, and she didn't know what the other party was thinking. She was also a person who didn't like to ask others for money, so she could only find a way to get some money.

It's impossible for her to go to college by herself and spend a man's money.

Zhou Yueshen's family seemed to live in a big house, but seeing that the children were as thin as dried monkeys, she was not sure whether the family was strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

Anyway, no matter what, relying on men is unreliable.

You still have to rely on yourself.

Si Nian took out the half piece of meat left over from the morning, washed it and drained the water, tied it up with string, then added onion, ginger, garlic, cooking wine, star anise and other seasonings and marinated it for half an hour.

After the rice is cooked, turn up the heat to heat the oil and add the ginger slices to fry until fragrant, then add water and meat into the pot, add seasoning and start to simmer slowly over low heat until the water is dry and sticky, and a piece of meat becomes red and shiny.

The juice in the pot is full of rich meat aroma, and waves of fragrance rise up, and the whole kitchen is filled with this overbearing and suffocating fragrance.

Originally, Zhou Yuedong and Zhou Yuehan should have gone to bed at this time, but when he smelled the fragrance, Zhou Yuehan couldn't move his feet at all, and his eyes were fixed on the kitchen. They usually only eat two meals a day, breakfast and dinner.

Aunt Liu has to go back very early every day, rushing home to cook for the family, so their last meal is usually around 4:30 in the afternoon.

After that, he didn't eat, and he had to endure it even if he was hungry at night.

He ate an extra meat bun today, but he wasn't that hungry.

But the smell of soft and sticky meat coming from the kitchen made him swallow his saliva and he couldn't move his feet at all.

He completely forgot what he said that he would never eat this stepmother's food again.

He was already surprised to have meat buns in the afternoon.

Now there is the smell of meat and rice in the evening. Seeing Si Nian coming out with the hot braised pork, Zhou Yuehan was stunned and couldn't believe his eyes.
