Chapter 86 Visiting Comrades 2

Chen Ming's wife Xiaohong is a very ordinary-looking farm woman, about thirty-five or six years old, with dark skin and plain appearance. Her medium-sized figure looks very bloated because she is wearing a cotton-padded jacket. The cotton-padded jacket is covered with patches of black. The red plaid slant-front coat was quite clean. She greeted Feng Qingxue warmly, "Come in and sit down. Don't be so polite next time."

Chen Ming's two sons were both at home, and they were a little shy when they saw the guests.

Chen Ming laughed and cursed, "Uncle Lu, you just came here a few days ago, and we don't know each other now?"

His eldest son Chen Tianzuo was older and had a better memory. He called out "Uncle Lu" with a smile, looked at Feng Qingxue curiously, and shouted loudly: "Hello Aunt Lu!" Pushing his younger brother, Chen Tianyou also let go. he shouted after himself.

Chen Ming and Xiao Hong laughed out loud, but Feng Qingxue's face turned red.

When a guest came to the house, Xiaohong quickly went to the kitchen to get busy after greeting her.

Residents in other cities and towns either have several families living in a large courtyard, or several families live in Tongzilou. It is common for a family to share a small space, and a dozen families live in thirty or forty square meters. However, However, Chen Ming's house was a small courtyard that his father Lu bought for him when he got married. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, no one dared to covet his house because of his status and merit.

Feng Qingxue handed the things in her hands to the two children and followed them to help.

"Sister, you are a guest, how can I let you cook?" Xiaohong turned around and saw Feng Qingxue, and hurriedly pushed her to the main room to sit and drink tea.

Feng Qingxue smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, I can't get in touch with what you are saying, so I will give you a slap."

After hearing this, Xiaohong had to give up.

Feng Qingxue entered the kitchen and found that there was a stove similar to that of the Lu family. There were two iron pots, one large and one small. Next to it was an iron briquette stove. On the briquette stove sat a large copper pot with a spout. The room was constantly steaming, and there were neat piles of briquettes in the corner, as well as two broken wooden barrels. There were lush garlic sprouts growing on the soil in the barrel, and a small part of them had been cut off.

Radishes and cabbage are winter vegetables that every household stores. In the kitchen, there are those picked out from the cellar in the morning, as well as a bunch of large and small potatoes. Xiao Hong picked up the big copper pot and poured hot water into the basin, mixed it with cold water, and quickly I washed seven or eight radishes and a Chinese cabbage, cut a large handful of garlic sprouts and washed them, and peeled and washed the potatoes.

Feng Qingxue said she was doing it, but in fact, she was washing and chopping vegetables like Xiao Hong, and she was not idle for a while.

After the vegetables were cut, the earthen stove and the briquette stove were put into battle together. The latter opened the stove door, and a small two-eared iron pot sat on the stove.

Xiaohong dug out a piece of lard from the oil can and put it into the pot. It melted when it was put into the hot pot, and the aroma filled the room.

Braised vermicelli with cabbage, braised radish slices, scrambled eggs with garlic sprouts, and spicy and sour potato shreds, each item is generous in portion.

"Children are greedy. Lao Chen's supply of pork was used up as early as the beginning of the month, so when you come here, there is no meat star at home to entertain you." Even if he eats their family's three days' worth of food in one meal today, the little one will Hong still felt extremely embarrassed.

Feng Qingxue hurriedly smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, please don't be so polite. Who doesn't know that supplies are in short supply now? Meat or not, being full is a blessing. Ajiang brought me here to visit Brother Chen and sister-in-law, just to let me get to know Chen Brother and sister-in-law, it’s convenient for us to move around in the future, so that we don’t recognize each other when we meet, and it becomes a joke. If we get angry because we don’t have a bite of meat, then who are we?”

Hearing these words, the smile on Xiaohong's face never stopped, and she felt particularly comfortable. Everyone doesn't like considerate guests.
