The beauty of the cow egg mound is loved by adults and children.

However, Xiaofang didn't eat it herself, and returned home happily with more than a dozen cow eggs given by Liu Qingshan.

"Grandma, look, what is this?" she grabbed two golden cow egg lumps from the snakeskin bag, looked at her grandmother excitedly and said, "Cow egg lumps, cow egg lumps." ”

"Ah, cow egg lump!" the grandmother took the cow egg lump from her granddaughter's hand with her eyes shining, and said in surprise, "I don't know how many years I haven't eaten this thing." ”

"Haha, grandma, I still have a few more in my bag, so you can eat enough. ”

"Xiaofang, is this what you are looking for?"

"No, when I came back from the mountains, I met Liu Qingshan, and Liu Qingshan gave it. ”

"Oh. Grandma sighed meaningfully and said with a smile, "Xiaofang, you should eat, grandma doesn't like to eat." ”

"Grandma, don't lie to people, last year Grandpa Tan went to the mountains to chop firewood and brought back a cow egg mound, and when you watched him eat, his saliva was about to flow out. Xiao Fang picked out all the cow egg lumps in the snakeskin bag, and then picked up two more casually, "I'll send two to Grandpa Tan." ”

"Don't send it, what are you giving it to him for?" Grandma had a straight face, a little angry, "Last year he found a cow egg mound and came back, I asked him to give me half of it, but he didn't give it, and you don't give it to him." ”

Seeing that grandma was still angry about last year's cow egg lump, Xiaofang felt so funny, so she smiled and said: "Grandma, why are you like a child, it was all last year, and you still hold grudges." Good guys, Grandpa Tan didn't take care of our family before, although he didn't give you cow eggs to eat, but, since I was a child, I didn't eat less chicken and duck legs he gave. ”

Old man Tan is an old hunter in the village, although his old age is quite bleak now, but when he was young, he relied on his good ability to hunt with one hand, and his life was quite nourishing.

Xiaofang's parents died young, and her grandmother raised her with hard work, and the old man Tan saw it in his eyes and felt that Xiaofang was cute, so every time the family slaughtered chickens and ducks, he would always send Xiaofang two chicken legs or duck legs.

Although Xiaofang is not a scholarly child and has not read too many books, the word gratitude is as simple as eating for her.

Now that Old Man Tan is old, he doesn't hunt anymore, and he lives on government relief, so whenever there is something good at home, it is her turn to give back to Old Man Tan.

The glutinous rice cakes for the New Year's holidays, the chicken beads and duck beads when killing chickens and ducks, will be sent to Old Man Tan's house.

Chicken beads and duck beads are local dialects, and chicken beads refer to the meat from the chicken leg to the back of the chicken's buttocks. The same goes for duck beads.

This part of the meat has no bones, and in this area, from ancient times to the present, it is popular to give chicken beads and duck beads to the elderly. Some people may think that giving chicken butts and duck butts to the elderly is unfilial.

However, you must know that in the past, or even now, when the economic conditions of a small number of mountain people are still very backward and poor, they can divide a lot of the few pieces of meat, and its meaning and value are higher than that of chicken beads and duck beads.

Although it is not a meat or expensive thing, it is a beautiful thing in most people's memories.

Although grandma said that she was not happy to give it to Old Man Tan, she would still feel relieved because of her granddaughter's sensibility.

Xiao Fang took two cow egg lumps to Old Man Tan's house.

Recently, in order to dig yams, she hasn't come to Old Man Tan's house for a long time.

Seeing Xiao Fang coming in the hazy night, Old Man Tan was overjoyed, and hurriedly took out a box of instant noodles sent by the government from the kitchen a few days ago: "Xiao Fang, you see, two days ago, the government people sent me a bucket of peanut oil and a box of instant noodles, I can't get used to eating this noodles, you take it home and eat it." ”

Xiao Fang didn't take the instant noodles, but stuffed the two cow eggs into Old Man Tan's arms, and pretended to be angry and said: "Why can't you get used to it, Grandpa Tan, you are hypocritical, what others give you, you just take it and keep it for yourself, don't always think about giving it away." If you really don't know how to cook noodles, I'll ask my grandma to come and teach you tomorrow. ”

"Don't, don't. As soon as he heard that the old woman was coming, Old Man Tan hurriedly refused, "Who said I can't cook, I can cook, I just can't get used to it." ”

"Why can't you get used to eating?" Xiao Fang turned around and walked into Old Man Tan's kitchen, lifted the lid of the rice cylinder in the corner, and looked inside, "Look at you, there are only a few catties of rice left, and you are still picky." What's so bad about this noodle? What's so bad about eating it? Let me tell you, Grandpa Tan, when I was in junior high school and living in school, my biggest dream was to eat instant noodles every day, and now I have to eat it for you, so don't pick it. ”

"Oh, didn't I tell you? You can't eat so much oil at once, so you can use a smaller bottle, you can't put such a big bottle on the edge of the stove, the temperature is high, the oil is easy to spoil. Seeing that Old Man Tan directly placed a large barrel of oil on the stove, Xiao Fang couldn't help but count it down.

"And this salt jar, which has no lid, and you put it on the stove like this, and if it gets wet when you hold the water, the salt will be wasted. Xiao Fang chattered as she picked up the oil and salt from the stove and placed it on the wooden table next to the stove.

The wooden table is very ugly, and it is really made of a few pieces of wood and iron nails.

Four legs, two horizontal logs, and a few pieces of wood that make up the tabletop, everything is fixed with iron nails, and it becomes the crappy and ugly wooden table in front of you.

It's ugly, but it's a good idea to place something on the table instead of throwing it on the floor.

The creator of this wooden table is Xiao Fang.

Although there are a lot of things in Xiaofanghui, there are still some unsatisfactory carpentry.

After she put her things on, she picked up the broom again, and while cleaning the ground and picking up things in the dim light, she said: "Grandpa Tan, look at you, now the government is sending you money every month, and you also send rice and hair oil, and your basic life has been guaranteed, but you can't relax because of this, this place should be cleaned every day, or should be cleaned every day, you know?"

"When the floor is swept clean, the environment is good, people can live comfortably, and the body can be good. Moreover, this sweeping is also considered an activity exercise, and when the time comes, not only will the floor be cleaned, but the body will also be exercised, how good it is. In the future, remember to sweep the floor often, do you know?"

Old man Tan stood at the door with a smile, looked at Xiao Fang, and couldn't help but say happily: "Xiao Fang, look at you, how old you are, just nagging like this, if you become a family in the future, your man will not be nagged by you and run away." ”

Xiao Fang straightened up and pretended to be angry and glared at Old Man Tan: "Grandpa Tan, I'll tell you seriously." ”

"Okay, I'll listen to Xiaofang, and in the future, I will definitely clean the house every day. ”

Xiao Fang smiled: "It's pretty much the same. ”

"Oh, by the way, Grandpa Tan, do you like to eat salty zongzi or sweet zongzi with sticky sugar?" Xiaofang suddenly asked.

Old man Tan paused for a moment and said with a smile: "Actually, I like to eat meat." ”

"Ahh Xiao Fang frowned and said, "This year's pork is too expensive, so during the winter solstice, I don't plan to make glutinous rice dumplings with pork filling, I plan to make some peanut chestnut salty rice dumplings, or make some tea seed gray water rice dumplings." ”

When Old Man Tan heard this, he hurriedly laughed and said: "Haha, Xiaofang, I'm joking with you, in fact, I prefer to eat sweet, let's make gray water dumplings this year, it's delicious to dip in sugar." ”

"Really?" Xiao Fang smiled, "Then Grandpa Tan, I won't be a potbelly poop this year?"

"It doesn't matter, there is something delicious about pork, I like to eat something vegetarian. Moreover, I can't eat much by myself, so you can just give me two rice dumplings when the time comes. ”

"How can I be casual, I must make the zongzi better than meat. ”

......

"It really doesn't taste bad at all. Liu Yuanhe ate the sweet cow egg lump and said with an aftertaste on his face, "I haven't encountered a cow egg lump for many years, and I haven't encountered a cow egg lump in the mountains for many years, I didn't expect you kid to be so lucky to encounter so many at once." ”
