Chapter 195: Walking the Water
At sunset, the clouds in the sky are dyed with the golden glow of the sun.
Jane's house is very lively, boiling water for boiling water, hair removal for hair loss, cleaning bracken for cleaning bracken.
Jian Huanhuan used the large aluminum pot provided by Jian Ning to set up a fire in the yard, boiling water to blanch bracken, the courtyard was full of wooden basins and aluminum barrels on both sides, four baskets and two baskets of bracken, blanching seven or eight pots, and finally the family was not enough, and even the big wooden basin for washing clothes was occupied.
When Jian Huanhuan blanched all the bracken and soaked it in a basin, a richer and more domineering fragrance wafted out from the stove room.
Well, it's the fourth sister who is frying the braised duck meat, and today is another happy day!
Six ducks, one with fresh yam stew from today, and a pinch of wolfberries, such a duck soup is not only beautiful in color, but also helps to improve immunity.
Two braised dried mushrooms, put the duck meat soaked in ginger shreds without cooking wine and no trace of fishy smell, oily, fragrant, smoldering mushroom duck when the pot is pasted with a circle of cakes.
There were three left, and according to the old lady's idea, they must be saved and eaten slowly, but Jian Ning didn't listen to her at all.
If the weather is hot, you can't put it for a few days, so you just smear a thin layer of salt and eat it the next day.
Two fat ducks were burned out and filled with two pots.
A whole crockpot of duck soup.
Stir-fried duck offal with pickled pepper and sauerkraut is another good dish.
Considering the large population in the family, Jian Ning mixed a pot of garlic cucumbers and a pot of spicy mountain garlic.
The staple food is corn porridge, a dough soaked in the flavor of meat.
Watching her granddaughter pour oil with her dead hands, the meat and oil don't cost money, the old lady stomped her feet countless times while burning the fire, and kept swallowing saliva, which made the old lady suffer!
Later, Jiang Yihua came back, and as soon as he came back, he went to the stove room to help Jian Ning, and the old lady finally stopped, and she couldn't fall in front of her prospective grandson-in-law.
People who have worked all day, walk through the ridge path, walk down the slope, smell the smell of meat coming from their yard, and instantly feel like beating chicken blood, and their steps are faster than the other.
The baby in the family went to the field early to inform the second uncle that he would have dinner in the main courtyard tonight, and Jian Zhenjun took his third daughter and his brothers and brothers directly into the door of the main courtyard.
The two families got together, plus Jiang Yihua's nineteen people, and the two tables were filled, and the old lady pulled Jiang Yihua to her side, and was more affectionate than her sons, and before Jian Ning could divide the dishes, she took the lead in sandwiching a duck leg and putting it in his bowl.
The sons and daughters-in-law who watched suspected that Jiang Yihua was the old lady's own grandson.
The old lady set a new rule on the mountain, as long as the two families eat together, Jian Ning will share the dishes.
Jian Ning's division of dishes is very simple, the old rule of duck legs is given to a few strong laborers, the extra two, one is given to the old lady, and the old lady clips one to Jiang Yihua in advance, and the six duck legs are divided and cleaned, and then it doesn't matter, regardless of what is eaten on the table of men, women and children, and how many tubes can fit in the stomach.
Since Jian Ning came, the food at home has been raised by several grades, and he is stained with meat from time to time, and sometimes he even eats meat for several days in a row, and there is no shortage of food or oil, and there will be no more chopsticks fighting.
Jiang Yihua turned the duck leg that the old lady gave her and put it in Jian Ning's bowl, the old lady looked at it and was overjoyed, her grandson-in-law was really a sober thing, and she knew that she was distressed about being a family member before she entered the door.
As soon as the old lady was happy, she rewarded Jiang Yihua with her own duck legs, Jiang Yihua blocked her action of pinching the meat, and said: "Milk, I like to eat wings, you eat duck legs, you have to really clip it to me, Jian Ning should be unhappy when she turns around." ”
Jian Ning looked inexplicable: "You two are humble there, what does it matter to me?"
The old lady laughed happily, and hurriedly pulled the duck's wings and piled them into his bowl.
Seeing that even outsiders were talking and laughing with the family, Liu Guilan secretly pouted, and when she found out about the incident, Mrs. Jian took the lead, as if she was excluded alone, and the son and daughter who instigated her did not kiss her. No one is harsh on her in terms of eating, but once the family discusses something, they will break her up, which is not exclusion.
Liu Guilan was not angry and aggrieved in her heart, but she didn't dare to do it, and she clamped her tail more and more.
The old lady is happy to see her wilting head and brain, just stop, there is no shortage of food for her at home, and the moth will roll me up.
Their family now needs a background and a background, something to eat, someone to have, and a lot of confidence.
This time, the grandson-in-law came, saying that he was in a hurry, and he didn't bring a gift, so he quietly stuffed a hundred yuan for her.
With a huge sum of 100 yuan, the old lady was so angry that she imagined in her heart that if the third child divorced, she was sure that she would marry a yellow flower girl for the third child within a month.
You must know that when the year was ruined, how many families married their daughters for one or twenty catties of coarse grain, not to mention that their family's living standard was unique in the whole village, as long as the wind was released, I don't know how many people rushed to enter their door.
Yes, the old lady made up her mind, and the third daughter-in-law dared to make a little moth and immediately went through the divorce procedures.
Time flies, and half a month has passed in a blink of an eye.
Two days ago, Jiang Yihua, who had been procrastinating for more than a month, reluctantly left Shuimo Village.
June 15.
The last rays of the sun sink into the horizon, and darkness envelops the village.
A house in the village was on fire.
The blazing flames kicked up smoke and dust.
"There was a fire, there was a water"
After a while, the horn sounded, and the people who were close to it were notified to put out the fire and save people.
Not a drop of rain fell for more than a month, and the sun became hotter and hotter day by day, and the house that had been roasted for a day was like a steamer inside.
When the horn sounded, the old lady was taking a group of babies in the yard of the second child's house to enjoy the cool, the yard of the second family's house was paved with bluestone slabs, as soon as the night came, Jian Ning carried a bucket of poke well water to wash the bluestone slabs, and the yard was planted with tea trees, watermelons and pumpkins, etc., surrounded by dense thorn bushes, as soon as the temperature of the bluestone slabs dropped, her yard was exceptionally cool.
Jian Ning also built a big balcony with bamboo strips in the courtyard, burned mosquito repellent grass before taking the cool, wiped the mat table with cold water, and quietly put a basin of ice under the closed bamboo platform, which was very comfortable and cool, and the old lady led a string of babies to run here every day as soon as it was dark.
"Milk, whose house is on fire?" Jian Ning came out with a basin of watermelons and a dustpan of salted edamame that had been frozen in the well in the afternoon.
"I don't know, your father and uncle went to see it. The old lady picked up a piece of cold watermelon and took a bite, before saying, "I just went to the courtyard to take a look, and it seemed to be Chen Erwa's house." ”
Hearing this, Jian Ning flashed a thought: "Milk, let's go and take a look after eating watermelon." ”
"Done. It's dry, and I don't know how to look carefully. The old lady showed pity: "If it is really Chen Erwa's family, it will be pitiful, the good son is stupid, and there will be another fire, how can this day pass." ”
Jian Ning was noncommittal, if it didn't work, it would be a man-made arson.
"Invisible boss, you broke people and set up 88 reading network"
: Invisible boss, you've broken up.
