The old lady went home with the crockpot in a hurry, and on the way she saw several people asking her if Xiaosi was back, the old lady agreed with a smile, and went home after a few casual words.

Yuan Si didn't expect the old lady to really borrow it, so she reached out and took it, and then lit a fire to boil water, "You borrow the crockpot, what about my uncle's house at noon?

The old lady glanced at her with disgust, "Do you think that everyone else will not live like the same, now everyone is tightening their belts to live, I am afraid that this little food at home will not be able to support the wheat harvest in the coming year, how dare you eat three meals a day, it is two meals that are so scarce, just starve to death." "What the old lady said is a bit exaggerated, but it is true that there is not enough food for every family, and anyway, after the busy farming, it has been changed to two meals a day.

Yuan Si shut up, it is estimated that if she continues to talk about it, the old lady will turn over her today's ruined behavior and say it again.

One by one, the fat dumplings got out of the pot and floated up after a while. Three dumplings and two noodles, a few efforts, the first pot of dumplings is cooked, Yuan Si scooped them up and passed through the cold water, and then couldn't wait to fill two bowls, one bowl handed to the old lady, and one bowl to eat by herself.

"Mother, there is soy sauce and vinegar here, you can add it yourself. "Yuan Si likes to dip some vinegar when she eats dumplings, and she doesn't forget the old lady after pouring it.

"Well, no, it's fresh. The old lady picked up the dumplings and ate them in a big gulp.

This is really a dumpling with meat balls, although a whole cabbage is added to it, but the cabbage is not counted originally, and it is even more difficult to see anything when it is killed by salt, just to borrow a taste. Now that I eat it, I take a bite of the strong meat filling, which is really fragrant, and the old lady who originally wanted to be reserved can't help but bury her head in it.

Yuan Si is even more reasonable, the old lady eats one, she can eat two, the old lady eats one bowl, she can eat two bowls, and then, two hundred and fifty dumplings are divided into five pots to cook, the old lady herself eats fifty, saying that she can't eat anything, even if she can eat she doesn't dare to eat more, usually eat less and light, and she is afraid of eating too much meat coldly.

Yuan Si didn't have this concern, she could only be starved, and it was impossible to be broken, so she ate one hundred and twenty dumplings alone.

When the two of them finished eating, Yuan Si brushed out the clay pot, and the old lady took a plate and picked up thirty leftover dumplings and put them in a basket, which was covered with a cloth.

Seeing that the girl stared at her, she took the opportunity to do the next ideological education, "This is for your aunt, the Venerable Master borrowed something to use it back, and the fastidious people have to bring something to show their hearts when they return it, so that it is not difficult to borrow and borrow again, understand." ”

"Didn't you go to your uncle's house to borrow it? Yuan Si still doesn't understand, isn't it a relative, why are you still doing all this useless.

"You child, even between relatives, should be like this, usually live your own life behind closed doors, and only when you use others will you hang yourself and pierce your ears and eyes, who cares about you. The relationship between neighbors and neighbors has to be dealt with again. The old lady saw that her daughter hadn't turned this corner yet, and she was not in a hurry to leave, but continued: "Moreover, today is because I borrowed something from your uncle's family, and our family has a good relationship with your uncle's family, so I took so many dumplings over." If it were someone else's, I might have taken a handful of dried wild vegetables and passed. Food is more expensive now, your dumplings are still full of meat, others will know what's going on as soon as they eat it, if you can't believe it, I can't let people know that our family eats this, it's different for your uncle's family, first of all, they will definitely not casually say what our family eats, and secondly, your uncle and aunt will know that we are real relatives as soon as they eat this meat filling, and they haven't forgotten if they have good things......"

"Then you can bring all this to the uncle. "Yuan Si really didn't know that there was so much knowledge to give something away.

"That's not good, 'Shengmien Dou Mi Qiu' knows no, it's my intention for me to give your uncle something, if I give it to him, our family won't be able to get by." Besides, if her family really can't open the pot, they can save a few lives, and now they can eat, but they can't eat enough, so I can give it a little meaning. Nor can they point to me to feed the not. "The old lady is still the stingy old lady.

Seeing that her daughter was taught, she walked away with a basket in one hand and a crockpot in the other.

Sure enough, that plate of white-flour dumplings had already made the children of the uncle's family drool, Chen Fengzhen was even more embarrassed, and pushed it out vigorously, "Big girl, what are you doing, they are all real relatives, it's not worth borrowing a crockpot for a while When you bring so many dumplings, quickly take them back and give them to Xiaosi to eat." ”

"That's right, auntie, you hurry up and take it back, Xiaosi just came back, you can make up for her. Wang Danfeng also refused with her mother-in-law, but her hand always protected the plate of dumplings. It's not greed, it's that I'm afraid that the two old ladies will make big moves, and if they spill the dumplings again, they will be blind.

"Xiao Si and I just finished eating, there are still some at home, these are for the children to taste, this is the stuffing of my Xiao Si tune, you eat and see how it goes." The children are waiting, you grandmother, don't push me around here. "Since the old lady has brought something, she really wants to give it.

Chen Fengzhen looked at the grandchildren standing side by side, their eyes were glued to the dumplings, and sighed helplessly, "Then hurry up and thank your uncle." ”

Several children older than Yuan Si shouted loudly "Thank you, uncle", which made the two old ladies laugh.

The old lady chattered here for a while and then went home.

When Zuo Daya left, Cheng Fengzhen locked the plate of dumplings in the cupboard, looking at the disappointment in the children's eyes, the old lady said helplessly: "You all wait, wait for your father and mother to come back, let's eat together when we eat." ”

When the children heard that they would be able to eat dumplings in a while, they all jumped three feet high with joy and surrounded the yard of their homes.

"Hey, these kids!"

"It's all useless for us to be parents, so that the children can't eat. "When a mother sees her child like this for the sake of food, it doesn't feel good in her heart.

"Don't think about it, it will be fine later. Chen Fengzhen comforted her daughter-in-law Wang Danfeng.

After three o'clock, Uncle Tang's family was all together, and they were ready around the table and waiting for dinner.

Cheng Fengzhen boiled thirty dumplings into the paste porridge and heated it, and when it was served, even the porridge and dumplings were served in the bowl.

"Have you made dumplings at home today?" the second Li Tieshun looked at the dumplings in the pot with a happy face.

"What do you want, our family has so much food, how can we make dumplings to eat, this is sent by my aunt at noon. His daughter-in-law Wang Danfeng explained.
