Chapter 41: The Whole Egg Feast (Asking for Tickets)
Under the stimulation of Junguang and Jiajia, the other three pot heads also quickly put themselves into their work.
Although they are only children, they have a diligence that does not match their age.
Because they are all typical left-behind children, they have been living with their grandparents since they were one or two years old. During the long-term stay time, they must make themselves strong and diligent in order to make their grandparents feel relieved.
Of course, this is also a true portrayal of most of the children in the village.
Baishi Village is located in the mountains, remote, inconvenient transportation, economic backwardness, many young parents in order to support the family, when the wife is pregnant, the husband goes out to work, and the wife holds a big belly to do farm work in the village.
When the wife gives birth to a child and takes care of the child until it is about one year old, she must be ruthless, leave her little heart baby to the elderly to take care of, and then integrate into the tide of going out to work with her husband.
As a result, most of the left-behind children in the village have become out-and-out left-behind children from the age of one. They don't see their parents all year round, and they can only hear their parents' voices from their grandparents' elderly mobile phones.
Then in the tearful calls on the other end of the phone, I slowly learned to call my father and mother, and then slowly grew up bravely in the days without my parents.
The southern winter is very wet and cold, and although there is no snow in sight, the bone-chilling wind can freeze their little palms and feet to numbness.
In particular, on the way to school on foot, you had to endure not only the freezing cold wind, but also the occasional icy and slippery surface.
Despite this, they all love winter. Love the cold winter, love the winter when the flowers are withering, and love the winter when the village road is frozen.
Because winter is coming, it means that the New Year is also coming.
When the New Year is approaching, Mom and Dad will carry large bags of luggage and quietly return to the door in the early morning when they have not woken up, or in the middle of the night when they have just fallen asleep.
When the local dogs in the village hear the movement, they will shout one after the other. As soon as the two dogs at the head of the village barked, several dogs at the end of the village immediately responded.
Listening to the sound of dogs barking one after another, the children woke up from their sleep, and then sat on the dark and cold bed, pricking up their ears to listen to the movement of the yard.
If the iron door is slammed open, needless to say, it must be that Mom and Dad are back. Then he quickly got out of bed and ran out into the yard in slippers to greet his parents, whom he hadn't seen for nearly a year.
If you listen to it for a while, there is no movement in the courtyard, then you can only envy a little friend in the village, lie down in the quilt again, curl up, grasp the cold little feet with warm little hands, and pray to the Buddha, the Jade Emperor and Guanyin Bodhisattva in your heart, hoping that the next time the dog barks, it will be your parents who will come back.
Children need the company of their parents, but they all realize too early that if their parents accompany them, they will not be able to support the family.
Therefore, for so many years, I have never heard of a child who would die because their parents were going out to work.
They would cry, but as they cried, they understood something they didn't have to understand in the water.
The five pot heads, who are also left-behind children, also understand this truth. So even though they are mischievous at times, they never lose out when it comes to motivation to work.
Especially the two brothers Junguang Junhui, not only are they highly motivated to work, but also have high efficiency, and the peanuts are pulled quickly and well, no matter how hard Jiajia and the three of them work, they just can't catch up with their progress.
And the reason why they work so hard is not because their grandfather asked them to help, but because they know how good Brother Chen Yang is to them.
For as long as they can remember, they seem to be constantly eating the snacks that Chen Yang's brother bought.
Fruit ice cream, jelly and crushed ice, anyway, the snacks that other children have eaten, Brother Chen Yang has bought them all.
And every year when it's their birthday, because their parents are working in other places and can't go home, Chen Yang's brother will always play the role of parents, stay at their house, cook food for them, and buy them cakes.
These things may seem normal to others, but in the eyes of the five pot heads, it is a friendship that is higher than the mountain.
Maybe they don't understand what 'friendship' is. But they knew that when they needed Brother Chen Yang, Brother Chen Yang was never absent. Now, it is Chen Yang's brother's turn to need help, and of course they can't be absent.
Compared to adults, their small hands are not strong, and their movements are not too fast, but this at least represents their minds.
Seeing everyone working so hard, Chen Yang straightened up and smiled: "Junguang Junhui, you two slow down, the three of them are about to be drowned by the peanut vine." ”
Junguang Junhui also straightened up and looked at the three younger siblings behind him.
But no, the three little dwarf melons have been covered by a pile of tall peanut vines, and only the three ugly pot lids are exposed.
The two brothers looked at each other, smiled secretly, and then continued to pluck peanuts and sped up.
Seeing this scene, Jiajia and Xiaomei Xiaohao both shouted, and also sped up the speed of picking peanuts.
Chen Yang could only smile helplessly at the children's play, and then continued to pull his peanuts.
In the laughter of everyone, time flies, and lunch time is here in a blink of an eye.
Because Chen Yang didn't expect his five younger siblings to come to help, he didn't buy groceries in the morning.
Now the only meat dishes at home are eggs, duck eggs and a pack of ham sausages that have survived.
There are a lot of vegetables, such as wild leeks, red-backed vegetables, eggplants, peppers, beans, sweet potato leaves, bitter wheat vegetables and other common popular vegetables.
He went to the vegetable garden to pick wild leeks, redbacks, eggplants, beans, and picked up more than a dozen eggs from the storage room.
Scrambled eggs with wild leeks, egg soup with red cabbage, eggplant wrapped in fried eggs, stir-fried green beans, fried rice with ham and sausage eggs.
Simple ingredients, not simple minds.
Seeing that four of the five dishes on the table were eggs, the small pot lids got tired of it before they started eating.
I've heard of all fish feasts, whole sheep feasts, and whole beef feasts on TV before, and this whole egg feast is really the first time I've seen it.
Jiajia hurriedly took the bowl, sat upright next to the corner of the table where the beans were placed, stared at the only plate of beans without eggs, and said secretly: "I'll eat this later, the eggs will be left for my brothers and sisters." ”
Well, I'm such a good boy.
Dinosaurs make pears nothing more than that.
Chen Yang saw that the five children were all staring at the beans, and the sword light and sword shadows could be seen in their eyes, so he smiled and said, "What are you five staring at the beans? Don't you all like to eat eggs?"
Junguang sat on a low bench, hugged his long legs and knees, and complained: "Brother, in fact, you don't need to cook so many dishes, we usually have a lot of fish and meat at home, and it's not bad to eat some vegetables once in a while." It's a complete waste for you to make so many eggs. ”
