The New Year in Nancheng is not like other places, where the New Year starts from Chinese New Year's Eve to the second day of the Lunar New Year, and the New Year is over, and then it enters the busy farming season.

Zhang Laohan walked to the house with the dried rice, and carried it out after mixing, "Xiao Mu, take the bowl quickly, eat the dried rice." ”

"I don't eat anymore, I didn't eat until I came back. ”

Perhaps because of the preciousness, Zhang Laohan didn't even let go of a drop of soup when he ate it, licking the condiment residue stuck to the chopsticks and the soup dripping between his fingers.

When Xiao Mu saw it, he asked, "Grandpa, is there such a delicious food?" ”

Zhang Laohan pointed to the bottom of the shiny bowl and said: "Child, our life is not easy, we must know how to be diligent and thrifty, this is not a question of whether it is delicious or not, but a matter of waste and not waste, understand?"

Xiao Mu promised Zhang Laohan in his mouth, but he really didn't think so in his heart.

"Hey, Lao Zhang, the year has passed, and our seedling film can almost be dismantled, or let's dismantle it tomorrow." ”

Zhang Laohan meditated, "Yes, almost, let's collect it tomorrow." The tone dragged on for a long time.

Xiao Mu thought to herself, can she also go, although it is a little far, but she can still do it, so she got up and climbed onto Zhang Laohan's back, shook Zhang Laohan and said, "Grandpa, I want to go too, can I go." ”

Zhang Laohan smiled, "Hey, hey, let's go, you and your grandmother go, I won't go, I'll do something else." ”

This can make Xiao Mule bad, jumping and jumping, he hasn't been to the field for a long time, and this time he can finally go.

The next day, the old man got up, and the glutinous rice dumplings he had eaten a few years ago were almost ready to be eaten, so the old man got a glutinous rice cake and prepared to fry it for breakfast.

As soon as the old man arrived at the staircase, he was met by Xiao Mu who had just gotten up, and Xiao Mu saw that the old man was holding a glutinous rice cake in his arms, so he asked, "Grandma, this glutinous rice can be eaten so soon?"

The old man patted the thick glutinous rice dumplings and said, "Hehe, I didn't find it, you can eat it, go wash it up, grandma will fry the glutinous rice for you to eat." ”

The old man took down the grease stained wooden cutting board from the round pillar full of black carbon in the kitchen, scraped the grease with a rusty kitchen knife, and washed the kitchen knife.

Then pour some hot water into the basin, put the glutinous rice into the water, scrape it with a knife, and listen to Fu say that it is to scrape the dust.

After a few scrapes, it was clearly visible in the basin that the glutinous foam was stuck with the dust, and it was a little black.

Cut the glutinous rice cake in half, say it stands up, cut it into thin slices, and the yellow and white fresh glutinous rice cake is revealed, with a faint fragrance.

"Xiao Mu, go and put the pot up. ”

Xiao Mu turned around and put up the iron pot that was missing the handle, swept the dust in the pot with a sorghum broom, and then washed it with water.

The old man took some lard, heated the hot pan, and when the oil crackled, he put the chopped glutinous rice into the pot.

Xiao Mu couldn't take his eyes off it, and he was very fascinated.

The glutinous rice cakes in the pot began to dissolve, and the scattered glutinous glutinous rice cakes began to stick together, and the old man said to Xiao Mu: "When the glutinous rice cakes are completely dissolved and stuck together, you can eat them." ”

Xiao Mu couldn't wait, swallowed her saliva, "Can you hurry up, I want to eat." ”

"Don't worry, you have to take your time, the fire will fry when it's big, you know no, you can't be too anxious to fry and eat it yourself in the future, the fire can't be too big." ”

Xiao Mu nodded.

After about ten minutes, the glutinous rice dumplings were completely cooked, and the old man took the pot down, and then turned over the glutinous rice dumplings a few times.

Divide the glutinous rice into several pieces with a spatula and say to Xiao Mu: "Come on, come on, eat quickly, you can eat it." ”

Xiao Mu couldn't wait to reach out and take a piece, but it was too hot, and threw the glutinous rice back into the pot, and kept blowing on his fingers.

The old man laughed, "What are you anxious about, you have to blow it, let it be cool, otherwise you won't be able to eat it." ”

Xiao Mu glanced at the old man, as if he was blaming the old man for not reminding him.

got up and ran to the house, took the bowl and chopsticks, and put a piece into the bowl, "Look, it's hard for me, I can't use my hands and I can't use chopsticks, hum." ”

Xiao Mu stuffed a piece of glutinous rice into his mouth, feeling that this is no different from the feeling of tangyuan, but this is fried, which is much more fragrant than tangyuan, and this is artificially scooped, so it is chewy, and from time to time there are corn kernels.

Before Xiao Mu finished eating, the old man had already begun to sort out the back basket, took a plastic bag, and poured some laundry detergent into it.

"Grandma, what are you doing with laundry detergent?"

"You don't understand this, we have to wash it after tearing off the seedling film, it can't be cleaned without laundry detergent. ”

"Eat yours quickly, or I won't wait for you." ”

This Xiao Mu hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks, picked up the glutinous rice cake and washed the dishes, "Let's go, let's go, I can take it and eat." ”

Before he got out of the village, he met an old man in the village, and greeted the old man from afar.

The old man walked over and saw Xiao Mu holding the glutinous rice cake in his hand, so he asked, "Wow, this is the glutinous rice that your grandmother gave you." ”

Xiao Mu nodded, stared at the old man, and hid behind the old man.

The old man patted Xiao Mu and said, "Don't call grandma yet, share grandma to eat." ”

Xiao Mu handed the whole piece of glutinous rice to her grandmother, but the grandmother didn't take it, but said with a smile: "Grandma doesn't eat it, Xiao Mu eats, eat more, and grow up quickly." ”

So he said to the old man: "Oh, my parents don't care about this child, but fortunately, you raised him." ”

Xiao Mu on the side pretended not to hear it, and kept putting the glutinous rice into his mouth, but in fact, Xiao Mu didn't know how uncomfortable it was.

The old man and the old grandmother chatted for most of the day, and Xiao Mu pulled the old man's clothes and said, "Grandma, let's go, if you don't leave, it's too late." The old man said goodbye to the old grandmother.

After walking for a short time, he said to Xiao Mu: "What are you in a hurry, grandma is chatting with grandma, and I don't know anything." ”

Xiao Mu pursed his lips, looked at the old man and said angrily: "You know how to chat, you look at how high the sun is and still chat, you won't come back for dinner later." ”

Xiao Mu naively thought that he would have to go home for dinner at noon, but this was not the case.

"If you don't come back, where is it still noon or afternoon, collect the rice film, and then wash and dry it before you can come back." ”

Xiao Mu felt deceived, how could he do this, how could he stand it, but it was all at this juncture, and it was not okay not to go, so he could only follow the old man to the field.

A large group of people who didn't know each other met on the road, every time they met a personal old man, they had to talk about Xiao Mu, and Xiao Mu had to mention Xiao Mu every time they chatted, and Xiao Mu didn't dare to say anything at that time, so he could only hide behind the old man.

The old man said that Xiao Mu was timid, afraid and shy when he met passers-by, but what could Xiao Mu do, he himself was unwilling to deal with strangers.
