Chapter 70: On Fire

Uncle Tai called Lin Qing back, and said with a smile: "Wait for you to come by yourself, don't let me call someone again, by the way, bring your little grandson over, and be a companion for the Qing girl, the child eats more to be fragrant, the weather is very hot these days, this girl doesn't eat well every day, and the family can't do anything about her." ”

The old village chief understood: "It's normal for children to have a bitter summer, and so is my little grandson, who has been a picky eater these days, so it's better to cook mung bean soup and feed him." ”

Uncle Tai nodded, mung beans are a good thing, especially in summer, go back and let the old lady cook some every day, and put some sugar, the girl must love to drink.

After talking to Uncle Tai again, the old village chief left with his hands behind his back, and when he left, Lin Qing also reminded him not to forget to bring Xiao Si (the youngest grandson of the old village chief's family, ranked fourth) over, and the old village chief nodded happily.

Uncle Tai took Lin Qing's hand back to the courtyard, the old lady was cooking in the kitchen, Xiao Lang helped light the fire, and hurriedly walked out of the kitchen when he heard the footsteps of the two of them, "No one came?"

"People will come later, it is estimated that it is almost there, and then the village will give them some food, let them fire themselves, if they are diligent, go to the mountains to dig some wild vegetables or something to mix together, they will definitely not be hungry." "Uncle Tai thinks very well, now every family is like this, what can they do if they come from the city, the food they share now is also lent to them, and they will have to pay it back in the future.

But the old lady didn't look down on them: "Let them fire themselves? Look, those gangs are all unsuccessful, and no amount of rations will be enough." ”

Lin Qing felt that what the old lady said was quite right, and what everyone didn't expect was that not all women could cook, this truth is suitable for people in the 21st century, and it is also suitable for people of this era, especially the female intellectuals who came down from the city, there are many young and old who can cook, and they heard that they can eat with other families, so they are even more reluctant to do it themselves, but it is the male intellectuals, who can cook basically start their own fire.

When it was dark, the old village chief came over with his little grandson, Xiaosi. The little guy is not afraid of people calling people one by one, so he followed Lin Qing to tease the fifteenth day of the first month, he was very greedy, his little kitten had kicked his legs to death two days ago, and the little guy was sad for several days.

Xiaosi and Lin Qing are the same year, but the month is two months younger than Lin Qing, so she should be called a sister, so she took a piece of toffee in the space and shook it in front of the little guy, "Call sister!"

"Sister!" The little guy's eyes followed the candy cube in Lin Qing's hand, but he didn't grab it, and he stood obediently in front of Lin Qing with a tiger's head and a tiger's brain, which was very cute.

Lin Qing didn't tease him anymore, peeled off the candy paper, and stuffed the snow-white sugar cube into the little guy's mouth, "Sweet or not?"

The little guy nodded again and again, his mouth bulged out and he couldn't speak, his eyes were shining, Lin Qing smiled, and put a few more pieces in his pocket, "Keep it and eat it slowly." ”

The old lady made a very hearty dinner, a lot of vegetables and eggs, full of portions, and a pot of chicken nuggets stewed potatoes were placed in the middle of the table, and the two chicken thighs were whole, the old lady did not chop into pieces, so that Lin Qing and Xiao Si took them one by one and gnawed them.5./books/20/20076/

Concubine Qing is the only one.

Lin Qing didn't want to eat after eating two bites, but the fourth child was gnawing with relish, the old lady was watching her from the side, Lin Qing swore that if she secretly fed the chicken legs on the fifteenth day of the first month, the old lady would be able to throw these two out tomorrow.

With the old lady's wordless warning, Lin Qing didn't dare to act rashly, took a small bowl, removed the meat on the chicken thighs one by one, occasionally stuffed one or two in his mouth, and ate while playing, the old lady didn't say anything, but ate some.

Is Lin Qing so honest? Impossible!

Taking advantage of the time when the old lady was talking to the old village chief's uncle, she secretly stuffed the meat removed from the bowl into Xiao Lang's mouth.

Xiao Lang didn't even have a chance to decide, Lin Qing threatened him to eat it, bite after bite, until only a small half of a big chicken leg was left, Lin Qing didn't let go, and she gnawed the rest in a few bites.

The atmosphere of the uncle and the old village chief drinking was just right, and the door of the courtyard outside was suddenly knocked, and the knocking was very eager, and the old lady put down her chopsticks and hurriedly opened the door.

The person who came was Amu from Grandpa Sun's family in the village, and when he saw the old lady, he asked, "Is the second master here?"

"What's going on in the house?" the old lady told her to go inside.

As soon as he entered the house and saw the old village chief, Amu said angrily: "Second master, those four educated youths are really stupid to go to grandma's house! I just sent them food and asked them to fire themselves, but none of them knew how to cook, they didn't know how to do it and didn't say anything, and they burned the house to spoil the food!"

The old village chief sighed in his heart: "Are you okay?!"

"People are fine, those four people ran faster than rabbits! The kitchen got up first, if everyone hadn't seen and helped put out the fire, the remaining two houses would not have been saved! The four people were so stupid that they couldn't even put out the fire!" Amu was angry when he thought of the scene at that time!

The old village chief was angry for a while, drank the wine in the wine cup and got up to go over to have a look, the old lady was not at ease, and asked Xiao Lang to watch Lin Qing eat at home, and she followed her to take a look.

It's a big deal that the house is on fire, especially when the wheat is harvested, the weather is already very dry, and if you don't pay attention, you can burn in pieces, and there is no place to cry when the time comes.

When I arrived at the place, most of the people in the village were gathered there, and the old village chief squeezed in to take a look, only to see that the kitchen outside had been burned black and half collapsed, and the thatch fire on the roofs of the two houses next to it burned a small piece.

In a blink of an eye, I saw four educated youths standing in the courtyard in a daze, and the old village chief was angry, and his tone was extremely stern: "If you don't know how to cook, you can't burn the house down!"

Eighteen-year-old Li Bing had never been treated so harshly at home, so when the old village chief roared, his panicked eyes turned red, and he couldn't help but point to Qian Shufen and Mao Yun and said, "It's the two of them......"

The green tendons on the old village chief's forehead jumped, "Why are you two again!"

Qian Shufen and Mao Yun wanted to defend themselves, but Li Bing said the cause of the incident in one go.

It turned out that when the old village chief asked the four of them to bring food, he also brought a sentence to let them start their own fire, thinking that the two little girls should be able to cook.

This is a very normal thing, but Qian Shufen and Mao Yun feel that the village treats them badly and looks down on them, otherwise why should they let them cook by themselves?

The two of them who were angry and proud in their hearts said it one by one, and wanted to save face, so they deliberately said that they were not worried about the countrymen cooking, who knew if it was clean, they were going to start their own fire, and the faces of the few people who came to deliver the food were ugly, but they still showed them how to use the earthen stove, and helped them light the stove when they left.
