"Huh?"

Luo Kai, who was sitting in the chair, straightened up, sniffled, and couldn't help asking, "Why does it smell of firewood?"

The smell of firewood wafted from the kitchen, and it was definitely not wrong for him to smell the smell since he was a child, but this villa was newly built for only a year, where did the smell of firewood come from.

It shouldn't be a fire, right?

Luo Kai suddenly became nervous, but only heard the third uncle laugh and said: "Your mother likes a firewood stove, so she built another one at the back of the kitchen, and the food from the wood-fired stove is fragrant!"

So that's it!

Luo Kai couldn't laugh or cry, in fact, Luojia Village had a gas stove at home very early, but there are still a lot of firewood stoves, although now the mountain is closed for afforestation and no trees are allowed to be cut down, but because of the lush vegetation around the village, usually get some firewood and grass plus straw after the autumn harvest, and it is enough to burn it in general.

Luo Kai's original hometown had a firewood stove, and the gas stove was also used, and the kitchen of the new villa was originally designed to only have a gas stove, but I didn't expect the old lady to build another earthen stove.

Also drunk.

But the third uncle is right, the food burned by the wood stove is really more fragrant than that from the gas stove, especially the wood rice burned is the best, and the fragrant and crispy pot at the bottom of the pot is undoubtedly a delicacy in Luo Kai's memory.

Thinking about it, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, so he simply got up and ran to the kitchen to see what was going on.

Sure enough, I saw that the back of the kitchen was opened, and a big stove was added in the backyard, and both stoves were in use, Luo Hui used the gas stove, Luo Kainiang was busy in front of the firewood stove, and the third sister-in-law and sister-in-law were helping.

The smell of burning firewood and the aroma of the food cooked in the pot are mixed together, and the authentic smell of fireworks in the world is also a smell that Luo Kai can't smell in the capital!

He took a deep breath and stepped forward to ask, "Mother, why is it so fragrant?"

Luo Kainiang held a big spoon in her hand, turned her head and smiled when she heard the sound: "Big stew, don't you like to eat the most? Knowing that you are coming back today, I will ask Hui'er to buy a lot of ingredients in the city for you to eat." ”

Luo Kai was moved: "I know that my mother loves me the most." ”

Braised dishes are the most distinctive traditional flavor dishes in northern Shaanxi, it used to be a kind of big pot meal made by the common people in order to solve the problem of more people and fewer vegetables or difficult to eat vegetables in winter, almost all vegetables can be stewed, but the taste is very different, each family has its own formula.

Common cabbage stew, artichoke stew, radish stew, potato stew, etc., the rich people at home are often mixed with pork, vermicelli, artichoke, etc., thick oil and heavy ingredients and soup with juice full of a large plate, that is, to satisfy hunger and quench hunger, full and thirsty, snoring and gobbling up, absolutely satisfying!

And this kind of stewed dish is also very suitable for making with a large wood-fired stove, a large pot of stew, enough for a family of more than a dozen people to share, and it is a top-notch delicacy in the cold season.

"Go, go..."

Luo Kainiang didn't eat Luo Kai's sycophant, although the smile lines at the corners of her eyes revealed her mood at the moment, and she said: "Don't get in the way here, wait outside to eat, it's almost ready." ”

Luo Kai hehehe: "Okay!"

He felt that he could swallow a cow now, but good food was needed and worth the wait, so he had to go back to the front living room first.

"Daddy!"

Niuniu just ran down from the upstairs, she jumped up and ran in front of Luo Kai, and proudly showed off to Luo Kai: "Look, this is a gift from my little aunt!"

What she was holding in her hand was a drumming doll.

Drum doll is a traditional handicraft in Xihe County, it is definitely one of the toys that children in the village want to get the most, but now there are too many kinds of toys, cheap and fun abound, it is difficult to get the favor of the drum doll that needs to be time-consuming and laborious plus old craftsmanship to make.

It is said that there are not many old artists who can do it in the county now.

"Pretty, isn't it?"

Niu Niu obviously likes this little doll wearing a red cotton jacket and waving a waist bulging stick.

"Beautiful!"

Luo Kai nodded and asked, "Have you thanked your little aunt?"

"Thank you..."

Niu Niu is a very polite child.

Woof!

At this time, a big yellow dog slipped in through the door, and when it saw so many people in the living room, it instinctively barked.

"Rhubarb!"

Niu Niu hurriedly greeted it, "Do you remember me?"

This is Luo Kai's family dog, it is already an old dog, it heard Niuniu's greeting, and immediately wagged its tail to Luo Kai and Niuniu, rubbed Luo Kai with his head, and looked at Niuniu with gentle eyes.

Niuniu reached out to touch Rhubarb's head, and Rhubarb closed her eyes and looked like she was enjoying it.

He also stuck out his tongue and licked her little hands.

Niuniu giggled, "Dad, Rhubarb still knows me." ”

Luo Kaiwan smiled, and also reached out to touch the rhubarb, feeling very emotional.

When he left home to go to the capital, Rhubarb was still a puppy, and when he returned to his hometown again, Rhubarb was almost old, and time was the most ruthless thing.

That's why it's important to grasp the present.

Sit down again, continue to listen to the third uncle and uncle chatting, his father sat on the side smoking dry tobacco, watching Niuniu and rhubarb funny, his heart only felt happy and peaceful.

"Tiger baby, tiger baby..."

The third uncle's call made Luo Kai wake up, and he hurriedly asked, "Third uncle, what's the matter?"

The third uncle rubbed his hands and said, "I was discussing with your uncle and your father just now, that is, the matter of this year's village election, the old village chief is going to retire, so I have to choose a new village head, and everyone said that they want to hear your opinion." ”

Luo Kai said with a smile: "Since it is an election, then let everyone vote, you don't need to listen to my opinion, my current household registration is not in the village." ”

In order to facilitate work and study, Luo Kai moved his hukou to the capital two years ago, so the village elected the village head, and he did not have the right to vote.

"Your hukou is not in the village, you are all from our Luojia Village!"

The third uncle disagreed: "If you don't work in the capital, everyone wants you to be the village head, you have done so many things for the village, everyone remembers it." ”

Luo Kai thought for a while: "It's impossible for me to be the village chief, why don't you be the third uncle?"

"I can't!"

The third uncle was taken aback, waved his hand again and again and said, "I'm not an official." ”

Luo Kai looked at the uncle, and the latter also shook his head - after so many years of being a common man, they are all people with no ambitions, so they naturally dare not take on such a position.

Luo Kai smiled and said, "Actually, my brother-in-law is good." ”

"Your brother-in-law?"

The third uncle and the uncle were stunned for a moment, and the uncle said in surprise: "He is not surnamed Luo." ”
