Chapter 164: Heavy Snow Closing the Mountain
Sent away Tuesday's brother. Closing the gate, Zhou Shujie stood in the courtyard, looking at the sky that was about to get dark.
She said to herself, "It's not dark yet, it looks like it's cloudy again." It may snow at night. It's time too. I haven't been to college for so long? ”
After sighing alone, Zhou Shujie walked towards the side building full of firewood.
She was going to carry a few more firewood into the house. If it snows tonight, the temperature will definitely plummet.
Grab more firewood, and when you feel cold, get up and burn the stove again.
After that, Zhou Shujie's mother-in-law saw her go to the house to pick up firewood one by one, and did not stop until the places in the house that could put firewood were full. The old lady asked her. "Shujie, why is it snowing with so much firewood in the house?"
Zhou Shujie was bending down to stack the scattered firewood neatly, heard her mother-in-law's question, and looked at her mother-in-law when she stood up. "It's cloudy, and I feel like it might have to snow at night. I just want to bring it back more, if it's too cold at night, let's get up in the middle of the night and burn the stove once, saving the child from freezing. ”
When the mother-in-law heard her words, she also smiled and nodded. "Okay, if it's cold at night, you can get up and burn more." ”
Zhou Shujie responded: "Hey, I know my mother." By the way, what are we going to eat at night? Mother, I'll eat whatever you want. ”
The old lady looked down and thought about it. "You haven't eaten the leeks you bought, let's use them to make dumplings at night." It's a pity if you don't hurry up and eat it and then spoil it. ”
Zhou Shujie patted the dust on his body, washed his hands again, and said. "Okay, then I'll meet now." After a while, we will make the stuffing, and we will wrap it quickly, and it will be enough for us to eat in a while. ”
When Zhou Shujie was making noodles in other places, her mother-in-law picked the leeks in the house.
When she finished making noodles, she washed the leeks and dried them in water.
In winter, there are no eggs, so I start the pot to burn the fire, put oil, fry some steamed bun residue and put it in the leek filling.
With salt, MSG is mixed like this, and it smells delicious.
This mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are both people who work hard.
Zhou Shujie rolls dough, and her mother-in-law makes dumplings.
After a while, there were more than 160 dumplings in a small half plate of dumpling filling, and there was no leftover in the whole dough and dumpling filling.
It's done here, and the water in the pot in the outhouse is already boiling.
Zhou Shujie took the dumplings to cook, and her mother-in-law woke up the child who had been sleeping for a long time in the house.
After a while, the table was put on the table, the dishes and chopsticks were grabbed, and the hot dumplings were served on the table.
The two children, who were still a little confused, smelled the aroma of food and immediately became energetic. He stretched out his little hand and rushed to let grandma clean them up, ran to the table and sat down and waited for dinner.
There were five plates of these dumplings and a small pot.
Zhou Shujie served five plates on the table, scooped up another pot of dumpling soup, and put it in the farthest place from the child, so that the mother-in-law and the child could eat the dumplings first.
She took the small pot of dumplings and sent them to Aunt Guo'er's house next door.
The old lady first put the dumplings in the bowls of the two children and sandwiched them in the middle. After blowing and making sure that it was not hot, the two children were allowed to dig with a spoon and eat slowly.
Here, Zhou Shujie walked briskly with dumplings and sent them to Aunt Guo's house.
When she entered the house, she saw that everyone had finished eating, and began to pick up the table.
She directly put the small pot of dumplings on the table and said to Aunt Guo with a smile. "Aunt Guo, this is the leek dumplings I wrapped. Try it out. I'll go back to dinner first. "Finished. Leave your things behind and turn around and go.
Aunt Guo only had time to call her name, "Shujie, you ......". She was gone.
Aunt Guo told the eldest daughter-in-law on the side. "Shujie's temperament is really getting more and more anxious. Okay, don't be busy picking up the table, beckon the child over and let them all taste the dumplings that her aunt brought her, whether they are delicious or not. ”
After that, the family was happy and divided this small pot of dumplings.
Zhou Shujie also walked fast and close this time, and when she got home, her family hadn't eaten much.
Seeing that she was sitting firmly on the kang, her mother-in-law hurriedly handed her the bowl and chopsticks. Said. "Eat it quickly, it's just not hot in your mouth, and it won't taste good if it's cold for a while." You don't have to worry about the children eating yours, I'll just give them two cold dumplings. ”
As soon as she heard her mother-in-law say this, Zhou Shujie put back the chopsticks that were stretched out to the child, and replied with a smile, "Okay, thank you!"
Northeast people generally eat and laugh at the dinner table, and eat this meal in a noisy manner.
Zhou Shujie's house is quieter than others, basically if you can not say anything, you won't say anything after eating.
In the past, it was because her mother-in-law was sick, and no one told her, but now it is because of the laws that her mother-in-law has received since she was a child, so she is so quiet.
Even the two children of the family are very quiet when they eat.
Usually, grandma, mother, a vigorous scream, even if there is nothing to do, they will continue to play, if no one agrees, they will continue to call. When eating, it will not be, and it will stop eating. After eating, continue this call.
Zhou Shujie watched the two children while eating, and saw that they ate very deliciously, so he was relieved.
Obediently, she was eating her dumplings with her head down, but she didn't see her mother staring at her. The dumpling didn't listen to her, and when her spoon scooped it up, it fell down. I scooped it with a spoon a few more times but didn't come up, and finally I couldn't help but grab it with my hand and stuff it in my mouth.
I chewed it a few times, swallowed it in my stomach, and glanced at my grandmother and mother with my eyes, and continued to eat it after seeing that they didn't notice it.
The steamed bun next to her is much quieter than her. Even if this dumpling is not very obedient, he is still unhurried, scooping and eating spoonfuls one by one.
Zhou Shujie and her mother-in-law glanced at each other and couldn't help laughing.
They all saw the footage of obediently grabbing dumplings with their hands. There is only one who obediently thinks she is doing secrets, and her mother and grandmother didn't see her.
Zhou Shujie sometimes can't help but think about what this child is showing now. It's smarter than "steamed buns". There are really too many eyes in this heart, and I have done bad things, and I know how to secretly meow my mother and grandmother with my eyes.
"Obedient" was born a little later than "steamed buns", and her body is worse than him, and she is still a little shorter than him, but she has a quick temper, her brother doesn't mess with her, it's okay, if she provokes her, it's nonsense, reaching out is a slap, and it doesn't matter about the head and ass, anyway, I'll give it to you, see if you're honest and continue to play with yourself.
Watching these two children interact every day is like watching a particularly vivid movie.
When he can't sleep at night, Zhou Shujie will think about it, and he can't help but be happy about the interesting stories of these two children.
The small belly of this dumpling is round, and there is still a man left who has not finished eating. Each person drank some dumpling soup, and then they were completely finished with the meal.
I removed the table, brushed the dishes and chopsticks, and brought hot water. Wash up. The day is officially over.
When the snow fell, there were few lights left in the village, and most of them were asleep.
At first, it was just a small snowflake.
After a while, it became heavier and heavier, and it turned into a torrent of snow.
Zhou Shujie, who was already asleep, was woken up by the sound of falling snow in the middle of the night.
When she woke up, she reached out and pulled the lamp rope and glanced at the clock on the lid of the cabinet, and saw that it was only eleven o'clock.
I felt the temperature in the room, and it became a little lower.
So she got up, put on a padded jacket, and went down to the ground and led the stove.
After burning two stoves, the temperature in the house gradually rose.
Zhou Shujie lay in the quilt and fell asleep again.
In my sleep, I still thought that after this heavy snowfall, in a few days, Brother Tue and they should go to the mountains to look for prey, and they should be able to have a lot of gains.
