Dreaming of Lion Rock: Recipe in Hand

Chapter 331 Before the Grave Relocation

Chunni was actively giving acupuncture to Zhao's mother.

Mother Zhao was still as unconscious below the lumbar spine as before, but at least she had a good night's sleep and her appetite improved a lot. Her originally sallow and thin face became much more lively because of the renewed hope.

It's like being alive again.

She had long felt that Chunni's trip was not simple.

"How did Director Yang know that my wife was paralyzed in bed? Why did she, a busy woman, come to my house every day to give me acupuncture?"

Zhao Weidong then told the story hesitantly.

After knowing the whole story, Zhao's mother fell silent.

In fact, their ancestral tomb was not in Shizi Township. The so-called ancestral tomb now was just the burial place of her parents-in-law and her husband who died early!

"It's unreasonable to ask us to move graves just because we want to build a road!" Zhao Weidong shouted.

"What a shitty day this is! How far are they going to push us? Do they want us to die? Do they want our entire family to be wiped out? Ah!" Zhao Weidong yelled hysterically, as if venting his dissatisfaction.

This relocation of graves is not just about moving graves.

The relocation of the grave was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, making it hard for him to breathe and making his life worse than death.

"The dead must always make way for the living." Mother Zhao seemed to be talking to herself, or as if she was comforting her only child.

Her tears flowed down her face, but she made no sound.

She didn't want to further stimulate her son who was already on the verge of collapse.

She has to be strong!

A determined light burst out of her eyes!

The next day, Zhao's mother asked her daughter-in-law to go to the county and buy half a pound of pork belly.

"The meat must be fresh, half fat and half lean is best. If there is any, buy second cuts of meat. And buy some side dishes. If there are mushrooms, buy some..." Zhao's mother gave detailed instructions, and seeing that Weidong's wife only nodded, she didn't know whether she listened or not.

"Oh! Forget it, you just stay at home and take care of Xiaobao, and let your man go!" Mother Zhao changed her mind again.

This daughter-in-law is honest, but she is too honest. If she were allowed to go to the county town alone, she would not even know that she was sold.

Weidong's wife breathed a sigh of relief. Don't blame her for being timid. She had only been out of the house a few times since she was a child. The few times she went to the county town were when she went with her husband after she got married.

She felt a little weak when she was asked to go to the county town alone to buy meat.

Chunni spends an hour giving Zhao's mother acupuncture every day. Today was no exception. After the acupuncture, she carefully examined Zhao's mother's body, asked her questions such as whether her waist hurt and whether she had any feeling in her legs, and then she was going home.

This time, Zhao's mother was quick to grab her.

"Director Yang, it's been hard for you to come to my house every day these days. You know my family's situation. I don't have anything good to offer you. Just a bowl of simple tea and rice. Please don't be disgusted."

Zhao's mother's words were sincere, and Chunni couldn't refuse. However, Chunni knew their family's situation well. They couldn't even have enough to eat, and they still wanted to treat guests.

"Although my family is poor, we do have a bowl of stir-fried pickled cabbage, and with a bowl of sweet potato and bamboo shoots, we can have a meal."

In Lion Rock, rice soup is called Shaojicai.

"Would you like to try my Weidong's cooking skills? He may not be good at other skills, but this cooking skill is inherited from his ancestors. I guarantee you will be satisfied." Mother Zhao looked at Chunni steadily, with a hint of pleading in her eyes.

Chunni couldn't help but feel moved.

She decided to try Zhao Weidong's ancestral craft.

The braised pork was bright red and looked like amber. It smelled so fragrant that Chunni couldn't help swallowing.

"Gurgle." She swallowed so loudly, Chunni thought to herself.

You wouldn't have thought that Zhao Weidong, a big and strong man, could have such skills.

"Gurgle." There was another sound of swallowing saliva, and this sound was much softer than the previous one.

Chunni felt something was wrong and looked up. Not only Weidong's wife and son, but even Zhao Weidong and his mother were staring at the table without blinking, drooling.

Chunni secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, fortunately, she was not the only one who was embarrassed.

Except for the eldest brother, everyone is the same.

"Mom, eat, eat meat." The little kid felt very aggrieved when he saw his mother didn't move her chopsticks, and started crying loudly.

Weidong's wife's face changed, and she slapped Xiaobao on the butt, then picked up her son and went out to coax him.

The slap was also raised high and then put down gently.

"Hehe. Just a kid who craves meat." Mother Zhao smiled embarrassedly.

"Come on, Director Yang, don't be disgusted by these simple meals."

"There are vegetables and meat, it's very rich. Brother Zhao's dishes are so delicious, no wonder Xiaobao is crying because of his greed." Chunni smiled and tried to smooth things over. She ran to Xiaobao, picked him up, sat him on the long bench, and picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his bowl.

Sure enough, the braised pork was cooked to the right degree and it broke into small pieces with a simple pinch of chopsticks.

"Xiaobao! Do you like to eat meat?"

"like."

"How long have you not eaten meat?"

"I've never eaten meat in my life." Xiaobao said in a baby voice.

Everyone...your life is quite long!

"Haha, Xiaobao is so well behaved, much better than his brothers and sisters at aunt's house."

Seeing Chunni praising him, Xiaobao was even happier and skillfully took the spoon to scoop out the meat himself. But he was still young and made a mess everywhere.

Weidong's wife hurried forward, picked up Xiaobao and fed him carefully.

"Let's not worry about Xiaobao. Director Yang, let's eat too." Zhao Weidong rubbed his hands on his clothes for a few times, then picked up the bowl. He first scooped half a bowl of soup and served Zhao's mother to drink, then added half a bowl of sweet potatoes, two pieces of sweet potato meat, and two chopsticks of eggplant to the bowl, and then handed it to Zhao's mother.

"Mom, you eat first."

Mother Zhao looked at Silly Boy with a grudge and complained, "You idiot, the guests haven't even started eating yet, and we, the hosts, are eating now."

Seeing this, Chunni smiled slightly. This family is quite interesting.

She also added a bowl of soup and drank it. "This dish smells so good, I've been craving it for a long time! Hehe, I finally get to eat it!"

Everyone in the Zhao family smiled.
