Chapter 36: Dumplings

The next day, the rain stopped and the sun showed a smiling face in the east.

The sky was as blue as a wash.

The breeze comes from the air, mixed with the scent of grass, which makes people feel refreshed when they smell it.

Standing under the sand fruit tree, you can smell the burst of fruity fragrance blown by the wind.

It had just rained and there was still a little mud, and after the yard was dried, I knocked down all the ripe sand fruits and sent some to the uncle's family, some to Aunt Guo'er's family, and some to the village chief's uncle's family. If you can't finish eating the rest, you can dry it into dried sand fruits, and chewing two handfuls in winter when there is no fruit is good for your body.

After the rain, the air is fresh, the sky is blue, and everything feels good. The only bad thing is that the firewood used for cooking is relatively wet, and the outside is very wet, and it is pulled out from the inside on the side of the back rain, and some dry ones are pulled out.

If it snows heavily in winter, they will bury them all, and we have to find a way to solve them.

After circling around the firewood stack twice, I came up with a solution.

There was a clearing next to the firewood stack, right next to the courtyard wall of my house and Aunt Guo'er's house. Dig two pits in front of the courtyard wall, bury two forked pillars, and put a few pieces of wood to build a shed to protect from the wind and rain.

Put some firewood in it, put something in it, fortunately our courtyard walls are all stone, if you cut the head, you can't help it!

I'll do it if I'm ready, and I'll dig the pit first and clean up all the debris here against the courtyard wall.

Tomorrow I will go to my uncle's house to find the eldest brother and the second brother, and ask them to help me go up the mountain and put a few trees, and I am looking for two trees with forks, and then I can find some thin branches and pull them up to make it right.

After cleaning up the debris, pour out a six-meter-wide place, which can be used for up to four meters, and you have to leave a two-meter space, otherwise the warehouse will be blocked.

Two circles were drawn three meters away from the wall and two meters away from the barnhouse, with the intention of digging two pits one and a half meters deep and 50 cm wide here.

I dug these two pits for a short half a day, and then went into the house to feed the children twice, if it weren't for the fact that it had just rained and the soil was still relatively wet, it is estimated that these two pits may not be able to be dug in one day today.

The main thing is that the body is not strong, and digging for a while will give me a tired sweat, and I have to rest for a while. It seems that this body needs to continue to strengthen nutrition and exercise.

Because the work was not finished in the morning, I had a simple lunch. After finishing it, I saw that there was still time in the sky, so I made a piece of noodles, and after a while, I used oil to eat dumplings with Chinese cabbage.

After finishing the noodles, I went to the back vegetable garden with some mud, stood on the side and pulled out three cabbages, now this cabbage has not yet strengthened the heart, if it is the cabbage full of the heart in the old autumn, it is enough to make dumplings, and now these three are not much after killing with salt.

With the salty and light oil, chop and then put the killed cabbage, basically you don't need to put any salt, just put some monosodium glutamate, you don't need to put the oil, and when it is cooked, you will know whether it is fragrant or not.

After an hour of hard work, I wrapped more than 300 dumplings, took out two small curtains worn with a comb, and put 100 dumplings on each one, planning to send a curtain to Aunt Guo'er's house, and send a curtain to my grandfather, and the remaining more than 100 dings of my mother-in-law and I were enough to eat.

Generally, the dumplings are cooked and sent, but if you are cooked, you can only use a plate, a plate is not much, now each family has so many people, and the adults are reluctant to eat a mouthful, so I used the curtain to send two curtains raw, so that they can cook themselves, and a little more adults can eat two bites.

Aunt Guo'er's house was close, so she brought a curtain to Aunt Guo's house first. At first, Aunt Guo said that she didn't want anything, but then she accepted it when I put it down and ran away.

I went home and got a curtain, and sent it to my grandfather, and as soon as I entered the gate, I saw that the uncle was roasting the boar's head with a fire in the yard, and the big yellow dog was wagging its tail greedily next to it.

If you look closely, it seems to be the boar's head, don't you see that there are still two fangs five or six centimeters long on the side of the mouth!

"Busy, uncle, I've wrapped some dumplings and brought you a curtain to try them. ”

"Well, Shujie is here, it's for your grandfather to get some food. ”

"Not only grandpa, but also uncle. He looked at the uncle with a smile and said.

The eldest uncle smiled and said, "Since you have our share, then you can go and give it to your eldest uncle!" ”

When I entered the house, I saw that the eldest lady was bending over, washing the contents of the pot, and when I came to see it, it turned out that she was washing the freshly roasted pig's trotters.

As soon as I saw the dumplings I was serving, I hurriedly wiped my hands on my apron and took the dumplings.

Greeted me with a smile: "Tomorrow bring the meat to eat the head and hooves, and bring your mother-in-law over!"

I didn't say anything polite to my eldest mother, and agreed: "Okay, but it may be delayed, I want my eldest brother and second brother to go up the mountain to help me make a few pieces of wood, and set up a side building in front of the warehouse, and I want to put firewood in it." ”

The eldest lady happily agreed: "Okay, after dinner tomorrow morning, let your eldest brother and second brother go to your house to see how high and long it needs to be?" ”

Say goodbye to the eldest mother with a smile: "Then say okay, eldest aunt, I'll go home first." ”

The eldest lady waved her hand and said, "Okay, it's decided, you go back quickly, there are still children at home." ”

walked into the yard and said hello to the uncle who was squatting and busy: "Uncle, I'm leaving."

Uncle stood up and looked at me and said, "Let's go, don't wait for a while, don't wait for your grandfather to come back." ”

I shook my head: "Don't wait, there are still children at home, and I'll come to eat meat tomorrow!"

The uncle laughed: "Okay, come and eat meat tomorrow, and bring your mother-in-law with you." ”

I smiled and nodded, "yes, got it."

When I came out of my uncle's house, I walked home with a trot all the way. When I entered the house, I saw that my mother-in-law was sitting on the outhouse and lighting the fire!

I was surprised and asked, "Mother, are you adding water to light the fire yourself?"

Mother-in-law, raising her head, squinted her eyes with a smile: "Guo, Aunt Guo is here." ”

As soon as I heard that my mother-in-law called Aunt Guo Aunt Guo, I couldn't help but smile and praise her: "Mother, you are so powerful!

My mother-in-law smiled even more when she heard me praise him.

At this time, the water in the pot was boiling, and I said to my mother-in-law, let her come into the house to help me watch the child, I cooked dumplings for her, and my mother-in-law smiled and nodded and entered the house.

After cooking the dumplings, I entered the house with the dumplings, and saw that the table on the kang had been placed, and there was a plate in the middle, which was fried with chili peppers.
