763 Storing autumn vegetables
The days are getting colder day by day, and it is time for the old people of each household in Yajingzi to start storing autumn vegetables.
Storing autumn vegetables is an activity comparable to "folklore" in Tohoku.
In the past, after the beginning of winter, the mountains were covered by heavy snow, and the land could not be planted, and most people hid at home, which was called "cat winter". At that time, there was a shortage of materials, so three meals a day were changed to two meals to reduce consumption and save food.
In a good year, there is no shortage of rice and noodles, but vegetables and fruits are still very expensive, so this noodles have always had the habit of storing Chinese cabbage and potatoes in autumn.
These dishes are eaten in winter, so as not to run out of vegetables at that time, and there is only rice on the table.
However, with the development of the economy, various farmers' markets and small traders and vendors have sprung up, and the lack of vegetables and fruits in winter is no longer a problem.
Wu Mian's house is downstairs is the supermarket, diligent to buy by yourself, lazy to pull the mobile phone twice with your hand, the little brother will send fresh vegetables upstairs.
But this is only the perception of young and middle-aged people, in the hearts of the elderly over 50 or 60 years old, it is necessary to store autumn vegetables in autumn, otherwise they will be unstable.
It's like a doctor's order, and countless complications appear in the mind. Without Qiu Cai, Lao Ren's heart would be unstable and very unstable.
Zhang Lan is storing autumn vegetables.
The amount of autumn vegetables stored every year is decreasing, because Wu Mian is not around, the old couple is getting older, and they eat less, not like when they were young. I have stored a lot, and I have to endure nausea and eat old vegetables for a period of time in the spring of the second year.
That being said, but the storage is still the storage.
In fact, Zhang Lan also knows that the times have changed, but the frugal habits can't always change, and she can't sleep well without ordering food at home.
In view of the fact that autumn vegetables cannot be eaten every year, the storage amount is also decreasing year by year. Especially this year, his son is back, and Chu Zhixi often goes home for dinner, and this year's storage has dropped significantly.
It's okay to give Lao Wu and Xiao Wu some stale Chinese cabbage, but they must give Chu Zhixi the freshest dishes.
I thought about buying less, but the last 100 catties of Chinese cabbage and 100 catties of potatoes almost didn't kill Zhang Lan.
Moving the autumn vegetables to the house like ants moving, Zhang Lan spent an afternoon.
After she was done, she sat down on the sofa tired and rested for a long time.
It's really old, Zhang Lan pounded her waist and sighed and thought.
When I was young, as soon as this little thing was on my shoulder, I would carry it up on two trips like no one. And now...... The two of them are busy with poverty alleviation and the other with treatment.
It's like this home has nothing to do with them.
Zhang Lan was a little annoyed in her heart, but she only complained. Wu Mian doesn't go home today, just cook the old couple's meal.
After gasping for breath, Zhang Lan got up, washed some fruit, ate it, and cooked. It's the same every day, a little boring, but it's fun.
Wu Zhongtai did not return home until half past six in the evening.
After eating, the old couple sat on the sofa and chatted. After eating a few grapes, Zhang Lan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach.
"What's wrong with you?" Wu Zhongtai asked when he saw Zhang Lan holding his stomach and holding his flower glasses.
"I don't know, it may be a grape ......" Zhang Lan said halfway, then changed her words, "It's not you two yet, no one knows that I feel sorry for me." ”
"Uh......"
"I brought so many autumn vegetables myself, and my stomach hurts when I'm tired. Zhang Lan said.
"......" Wu Zhongtai was speechless, "Look at you, you are getting older and more and more hypocritical." If you are tired, you are tired, why is your stomach hurt when you are still tired, and it is a joke to say it. ”
Wu Zhongtai obviously didn't believe it, saying that it was possible for his tired arms and legs to hurt. Tired stomach ache makes people laugh off big teeth.
Zhang Lan wanted to say something, but when she spoke with one mouth, she didn't know which nerve was involved, and she couldn't help but feel pain.
"Oops. She cried out in pain.
Wu Zhongtai realized that something seemed wrong, and he stood up to find the medicine for the gastrointestinal administration.
After starving as a child, Zhang Lan's stomach has not been very good and has chronic ulcers. It is estimated that there is a problem with the ulcer, causing pain. Wu Zhongtai found medicine to protect the gastric mucosa, poured another cup of boiling water, and sent it to Zhang Lan with concern.
"I told you a long time ago that autumn vegetables are stored less. Although Wu Zhongtai is concerned, his mouth is still very hard, so he criticizes first.
"You know. Zhang Lan said, "When the time comes, there will be nothing to eat, and the person who says that the supermarket sells expensive is not you." ”
"Hurry up and take your medicine. Wu Zhongtai changed the topic, "I'll boil some water, you're just tired." Scald your feet, get comfortable, and you'll be fine tomorrow. ”
......
The next day, Zhang Lan felt better.
But it just seems that there is nothing to do during the day, and my stomach does not hurt when I am busy. But as soon as I lay down, my stomach began to ache faintly.
What a strange problem, is this a lifetime of work, and you still don't let yourself rest when you are old? Zhang Lan was a little distressed.
She also knew that it was not a big problem, but the strange thing was that she was fine during the day, but when she lay down to sleep at night, the pain worsened, and she was so heavy that she couldn't lie down.
When he was about to sleep, Wu Zhongtai looked at Zhang Lan and was speechless.
When I went home for dinner, my wife was fine, why couldn't she lie down?
It is said that it is delicious but dumplings, and it is unbearable. It's really strange that my wife is uncomfortable lying down.
"Why don't I give Xiao Mian a call?" Wu Zhongtai hesitated.
"You old thing, what's the call. Zhang Lan directly denied Wu Zhongtai's idea, "How busy the child is, it's not a big problem for me." ”
Also.
As a parent, the most important thing is to report good news and not bad news, for fear of causing trouble to their children, this is what most parents think, and the same is true for Zhang Lan and Wu Zhongtai.
Wu Mian was busy, looking at the prosperity of the Sword Association Hospital, and the old couple was also happy.
Besides, it's the middle of the night, just bear with it if you can, and don't disturb the children.
Wu Zhongtai helped Zhang Lan change her position, find a more comfortable position, and see how she could lighten her stomach pain.
But no matter lying flat or lying on her side, Zhang Lan's stomach hurts badly. Especially when you turn over, the pain is even heavier. Today's pain is not the same as yesterday, and the intensity of the pain is increasing.
"Why don't we go to the hospital? Wu Zhongtai proposed.
"Don't go. Zhang Lan said, "It's a stomach problem, it's an old problem, and you have to do a gastroscopy when you go to the hospital in the middle of the night. ”
Wu Zhongtai felt that this was the case, he sighed, and helped Zhang Lan to find a more comfortable position.
It's strange to say, it hurts when you lie down, and it hurts when you stand up.
Zhang Lan was speechless, everyone else is rich and noble, but she has a problem when she is idle. You can't sleep standing up, can you?
After tossing for half an hour and drinking a few cups of hot water, Zhang Lan leaned on the head of the bed and found a comfortable position, and then gradually fell asleep.
