15. Chapter 15: Duck Eggs in the Pond
After the second sister-in-law finished speaking, she glanced at Chunhua Niang, who called her in front of her, "The sun is good today, and grass is growing in the ground." She walked a few steps and turned around, "Xi Niangzi, if you have something, you just have to say something, our mother's family is from the same village." Kiss it!"
"Hmm. Leng Xiaoxi smiled lightly, and watched the second sister-in-law carrying the hoe and Chunhua Niang shaking the fat trouser tube, twisting the big buttocks, and moving the ridiculous three-inch golden lotus away.
looked down and glanced at her nondescript big feet, a little dazed.
The men passing by cast eyes like looking at monsters, Leng Xiaoxi was not surprised, since he had lived here, he always had to see people, and he couldn't stop going out because she was ugly and her big feet.
Thinking like this, Leng Xiaoxi walked forward for a while, the earth was full of green and vibrant, and the seedlings that had just grown were only a few inches high, and I didn't know if they could eat them, besides, which seedlings knew Leng Xiaoxi, and Leng Xiaoxi didn't know them.
Hula sounded, Leng Xiaoxi raised her head, there were wild ducks flying by in the distance, retracting her eyes, she saw a few big elm trees growing on the side of the road not far away.
When she was a child in the countryside, every early spring, her grandmother would take her to climb to the elm tree, and take some elm leaves home to make soup.
came to the bottom of the tree, just for a while, Leng Xiaoxi got some fresh elm leaves, and she pulled out a handkerchief from the placket of her clothes to pocket.
Thousands of meters away, there were wild ducks flying by, and when she came closer, she saw that this was a pond, the pond was overgrown with weeds, muddy, and there was a danger of sinking into it if she stepped into it, primitive ecology, Leng Xiaoxi concluded that this place had not been set foot on by the spring people.
When she saw a wild duck flying by, she knew that this season was the time for wild ducks to breed, so she came over to try her luck and see if she could pick up some wild duck eggs and go back.
She took off her shoes and put them aside, lifted her long skirt, pulled up her trousers, and walked into the pond barefoot, the temperature in the morning was a little low, and the cool air hit her feet in the pond, she couldn't help but feel excited, but, for the sake of her stomach, she endured.
Sure enough, she was lucky enough, there was a different kind of grass pile in the puddle not far in front of her, she walked over and reached out to touch it, and there were a dozen wild duck eggs lying under the grass.
With more than a dozen wild duck eggs in his clothes, the bag of elm leaves in his hand, and barefoot, Leng Xiaoxi came back happily.
The duck eggs were put into the broken wooden box, the elm leaves were soaked in the basin, washed a few times, and then put aside to soak in clean water, and then scooped the hot water in the pot, washed the feet, put on shoes, stuffed a handful of firewood into the stove, and the scalded coarse cornmeal was also cold, washed his hands again, kneaded the dough, and added some water to the pot.
After a while, the inside of the pot opened, and she carefully pasted the finished pasted cakes one by one to the edge of the pot, afraid that the cakes would slip into the pot and be compacted on the cakes.
On the four stickers, all of them are Leng Xiaoxi's slender finger prints, row by row, which is very good-looking.
After the cake was pasted, Leng Xiaoxi fished out the washed elm leaves from the water, put them in the pot, picked the meat oil in the jar, put coarse salt in it, covered the pot, and filled a handful of firewood under the stove.
Ji Boming was woken up by the movement outside, got dressed and walked out, the hot smell on the stove came into his nose, and he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
He wanted to ask her what was in the pot, but after standing for a while, he didn't see her come out of the room, so he took the basin and scooped up the water in the pot.
Leng Xiaoxi took all the quilts out and hugged them out, Ji Boming also washed up, and was about to enter the door, when he saw the things in her hand, he couldn't help but say, "The quilts are all new, why did they dismantle them?"
