Chapter 131: Visiting Grandma Lu's House (Asking for Subscription)
"yes. Chen Yang completely agreed with the fourth uncle's statement, "Grandma Lu is indeed very good, no matter how poor she is, she has backbone." It's just a bit stubborn, so sometimes if you want to help her, you have to think of a quiet way. ”
After a few words of emotion, the uncle and nephew will work separately.
Chen Yang began to prepare dinner, and the fourth uncle also had to prepare to harvest peanuts. It is estimated that in a while, the aunts who sell peanuts will come.
Although the number of peanuts selling is decreasing day by day, and the amount of income is decreasing day by day, the sale of mountain pepper sauce has not yet been connected, so it is estimated that it will be a few days before the harvest of peanuts is stopped.
Dinner was made with mountain pepper chicken.
Since he had never made mountain pepper chicken, and he couldn't find a recipe on the Internet, Chen Yang followed the method of spicy chicken, and just replaced the heavy spices and peppers in this dish with mountain pepper sauce.
Cut the chicken into cubes, add fine salt and light soy sauce to marinate, then stir well with starch and fry in the oil pan.
After the chicken is fried, it is stir-fried in a pot with mountain pepper sauce, and when the meat and ingredients are evenly mixed and the fragrance is overflowing, it is considered done.
Looking at the mountain pepper chicken on the table, which was full of color and fragrance, the fourth uncle couldn't help but praise: "Oh, Xiaoyang, it's a waste of talent for you not to go to New Oriental for further study." ”
"Are you going to drive an excavator?"
"What excavator, isn't the excavator Lan Xiang?"
"Hey, I forgot. Chen Yang smiled, "Fourth uncle, don't talk patronizingly, how about tasting the taste of this chicken." ”
The fourth uncle took a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth and tasted it carefully.
Chen Yang stared at him, ready to accept his praise with an open mind.
After the fourth uncle swallowed the chicken, he nodded and praised: "Well, it's delicious." ”
"That's it?"
"Otherwise?" the fourth uncle picked up another piece of chicken and said with a smile as he chewed it, "It's not that you don't know that I haven't read anything." All I can think of is 'delicious' and ......"
Chen Yang looked forward to it.
Fourth uncle: "Hold the grass, it's delicious." Hehehe. ”
Chen yang:......
Because dinner was relatively early today, after the uncle and nephew had dinner, it was not completely dark.
Chen Yang planned to send the money to Grandma Lu in person.
"Leave Xiao Qian at home. The fourth uncle said, "I can watch him, don't delay too long, wait until I finish soaking peanuts and go back to sleep." ”
"Okay. Chen Yang should get down, put Xiao Qian in the crib, and then went out with the money.
Lu Wenen's house is next to the open space where the old people and lazy people in the village usually sit and bask in the sun, and it is only one or two hundred meters away from Chen Yang's house.
From the head of the village to the middle of the village, scattered or crowded houses are scattered like stars among the mountains.
When the last rays of light are obscured by night, a bright solar lamp will spontaneously activate to cast a pale beam of light into the darkness.
The cries of the chickens and ducks are gone, but the dogs are still barking happily.
I don't know whose child was naughty again, and it seems that he was beaten. Their cries rushed out of the house and into the night, which was sympathetic and funny.
Lu Wenen's family has no solar lights, no dogs, and no children.
But Chen Yang, who was standing outside the courtyard gate, could see a faint smoke overflowing from the low kitchen door, and then drifting over the courtyard.
The scent of eggs with leeks and the scent of tea with lard permeated the courtyard, flowing out of the courtyard gate and wandering in the village.
After staying for a while, I pushed the door open and walked in, the iron door creaked, and then slammed into the wall with two clanging sounds.
The courtyard of Lu Wenen's house was slightly larger than that of Chen Yang's, but it was more dirty.
Sticky farm tools, jagged firewood, benches with missing legs, bottles and jars, pots and pans, and worn motorcycles can all be seen in the yard.
Some shabby clothes hung on the firewood in the corner, dripping with water.
Some torn army-green liberation shoes were piled up in the hallway, making them even more dirty.
Some feed and leftovers for chickens and ducks were dumped in buckets of swill, and flies were buzzing.
Lu Wenen heard the movement and walked out, and when he saw that it was Chen Yang, he hurriedly beckoned Chen Yang to eat together.
Chen Yang smiled: "No, I'm just here to send you money." ”
He walked to the door of the hall, and the first thing he saw when he looked inside was Grandma Lu and Grandpa Lu sitting around the small wooden table.
The second time I saw Lu Wende lying on the bed, that is, Lu Wenen's younger brother.
Seeing that it was Chen Yang, Grandma Lu quickly put down the dishes and chopsticks, stood up, and greeted Chen Yang warmly: "Xiaoyang, come and eat together." ”
Chen Yang walked in, sat down on the small bench on the side, and said with a smile: "I've eaten, you can eat, I just came out after eating." ”
"It's so early. Grandma Lu sat back in her place and said with some embarrassment, "We don't have any vegetables at home, just eat some eggs, I'm afraid you won't be used to it." ”
"How come?" Chen Yang hurriedly denied Grandma Lu's words, "Eggs are a good thing, I don't have to eat them if I want to? Recently, my chickens and ducks don't lay many eggs, and it takes ten days and half a month to make up enough for a meal." ”
Hearing Chen Yang say this, the smile on Grandma Lu's face became more natural, and the inferiority complex in her heart was also reduced a lot.
She has low self-esteem for her family's downfall, for her own fate, and for all unsatisfactory self-esteem.
Usually when someone in the family came to eat, she never served the table, but just pretended to be busy in the kitchen, and only when everyone else was full did she come out to eat some leftovers.
She stretched out her chopsticks, put a small piece of egg into the bowl, bit down a little, and then ate a large mouthful of rice: "Alas, pork is too expensive now, we haven't eaten pork for two months, and I don't know when the price of pork will be reduced." ”
"I'm afraid it's going to be difficult. Lu Wenen took out an orange with a slightly beaten peel from the storage room and handed it to Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, eat a fruit if you don't eat." ”
Chen Yang took the fruit, thanked him, and after peeling off the orange peel, he did not directly put the orange flesh into his mouth, but walked to the bed in the corner of the hall, divided the orange in his hand in half, and handed half to Lu Wende.
Although Lu Wende was born with a mental disorder and now has a disability in both legs, he can still speak and recognize people.
Seeing Chen Yang handing him the oranges, he raised a hand to take them, and then stuffed them all directly into his mouth.
He smiled silly at Chen Yang as he chewed the flesh of the fruit, and the dark yellow juice flowed from his mouth and down his cheeks to the base of his ears.
Seeing this, Chen Yang hurriedly picked up a towel at the head of the bed, gently wiped the juice that flowed out for him, and said with a smile: "Second Uncle Lu, you eat slowly." ”
Grandma Lu turned around and looked at this scene, if it was not heartwarming, it was impossible.
Because even the people who often eat at her house never get close to the second child's bed when they come to her house to eat and drink. Not to mention peeling oranges for the second child to eat, and helping the second child wipe his saliva.
Alas, maybe God still opens his eyes and makes it better for a good person like Chen Yang to pass by. It's just that God is too busy, so he doesn't have time to take care of her family. But no matter what, as long as she can see the lives of other good people getting better day by day, then she still has hope in her heart.
As long as she continues to work hard and continue to be a good person, maybe one day God will open her eyes and take care of her family?
