Lounan's breakfast is bought on the street, so it is relatively fast, because the Chen family is freshly made, this will still be busy, the sugar ball has grown up in Chen Anxiu's house since it hit the mountain, and during the day he led Yueran and Tao Tao to play around, and slept in a room with tons at night.

Although Sugar Ball is naughty, but a very refreshing boy, he is very good at playing, and he is willing to take care of people, no, just two days of hard work, Yue Ran and Tao Tao followed behind the buttocks, Brother Sugar Ball is long, Brother Sugar Ball is short and shouting. The sugar ball is very happy about this, only a little depressed, Yueran and Tao Tao Guan ton ton called uncle, let him call him brother, in this way, he always has a feeling of low ton ton generation, obviously he is relatively old, really according to the age, ton ton also has to call him a brother.

"Dream on, you. The sun has just risen, the milky white mist has not yet dispersed in the morning, in the morning light, the waterfowl stand in the shallow water by the river to comb their feathers, it is now the busy farming season, most of the people in the town have gotten up at this time, compared to the bustle that gradually begins outside, the riverside where no one passes by seems extraordinarily leisurely.

Ton Ton and a half bent over, a large area of yellowed reeds had appeared on the drawing paper, Sugar Ball sat on the river beach, held Ton Ton's legs with both hands and said, "Where did I say wrong, I am older than you, I have never heard you call my brother." ”

Ton Ton knocked on the door of his head with a paintbrush and said, "Can you be honest on the side?"

"Then you tell Yueran and Tao Tao to let them call me uncle too?"

"Why didn't you say it yourself?"

Sugarball scratched his head and said, "I said, they don't listen, especially Yueran." ”

"Didn't you hear them call me Uncle Daddy too?"

"That's right. "He's almost deranged from the family's seniority.

Sugar Ball is no longer entangled in this, he remembered the harvest of the past two days, and came to the interest again, "Let's go to Grandpa's place after breakfast, he promised to weave a cricket cage for me, I'll go over and see if it's ...... to make it."

His mind jumped, and he talked a lot, and Ton Ton occasionally replied to a sentence, most of the time he ignored it, concentrating on his paintings, and the sugar ball automatically stopped when his mouth was dry, holding his chin with one hand, tilting his head to look at Ton Ton painting, "Looking at the past like this, Ton Ton is really beautiful." "Uncle Zhang is like, more beautiful than the girls in their school, with so long eyelashes, so dense, and still golden.

Wait, golden? Sugar Ball looked up at the sky, the sun was already rising, he jumped up from the ground and said, "Tons, don't draw, the sun is out, and when the dew dries up, the reeds will fly." Uncle Chen told you to go back early. ”

Tons hasn't finished painting yet, but he doesn't want to joke with his body, so with the help of sugar balls, he packs his things and prepares to go home. Yueran and Tao Tao also got up at this time, and when they went to the house, they didn't see this person, so they both found here, "Uncle, Brother Sugar Ball, it's time to eat." ”

"Don't run, look at the stones under your feet. "In front of the little nephew and little niece, the twelve-year-old Ton Ton is now also a little adult.

Breakfast was made by Chen Anxiu, boiled white porridge, fried steamed bread slices and squid rings, steamed bread was made when they got married, Chen's mother made a big steamed bun, cut it from the middle, put the two pieces together, sandwiched a thick ham slice in the middle, wrapped in eggs and fried outside, the squid rings were marinated last night, a pot of oil in the morning is not troublesome, the steamed bread slices and squid rings are fried a lot, Chen Anxiu drained the oil, and let tons of tons send a lot of it to the old man.

White porridge, steamed bread slices, and squid rings were all put on the table, and Chen Anxiu brought a plate of tofu milk and a plate of cold fungus from the kitchen, this is today's breakfast, the four older children have been on the table, and Zhang Shinian took the porridge and fed it first.

When the candy came, Chen Anxiu fried the last squid rings in the kitchen, and when he heard them come in, he greeted him, "There are them on the table, I haven't eaten, take them myself, there are many more in the kitchen." ”

Lou Nan had already eaten, but he still had a lot of appetite when he looked at the fried golden steamed bread slices, so he took a piece and shared it with Ye Jingqian, and the candy ran to the edge of the sugar ball, and the sugar ball pulled him to sit down, and took a squid ring to him to eat.

Candy ate three squid rings in a row, Lou Nan pulled him up and didn't let him eat it, he had already eaten a lot at home.

I didn't eat it, and I didn't make any trouble with the candy, so I ran to the kitchen and leaned at the door to look at Uncle Chen, who was cooking.

After Chen Anxiu fried the most squid, a plate of squid rings came out.

The candy now knew that those things on the plate were edible, and when he saw Uncle Chen coming in his direction, he took the initiative to reach out and hold the big pocket on his stomach and wait. He probably thought that this plate was all for him.

But he was standing by the door, short and short, Chen Anxiu had been busy all morning, and he would be dizzy in the heat, and he didn't notice his movements at all, so when he passed by him, he touched his head and passed.

On the contrary, he took the opportunity to see that he had already finished eating, so he reached in and took away the only cookie that Ye Jingqian had in his candy pocket.

"Brother. Uncle Chen didn't put food in his pocket, and Mao Mao took away the only biscuit he had, and the candy was very aggrieved, and followed Mao Mao with small steps on his fat short legs, wanting to get the biscuit back.

Mao Mao just finished eating, he won't eat this, but he is interested in the colorful packaging on the outside of the biscuits, so he grabbed it in the hand of the meat Dudu, looked at it over and over, and didn't want to return it.

This made the candy go bad, and he followed closely behind him, calling out to his brother in a stack. I was looking forward to returning it to him, but no matter how anxious he was, the best thing for him was that he wouldn't rush up and grab it.

Chen Anxiu washed his hands and was about to eat, he didn't understand what was going on at first, but when he saw the things in Mao Mao's hand, he understood everything, hugged Mao Mao over and said, "Mao Mao, are you taking Brother Candy's things, you just finished eating, give it back to Brother Candy." ”

As soon as Candy heard Uncle Chen speak, he stood aside and waited.

Lou Nan had already finished watching the scene just now, he was gasping with a smile just now, so he didn't speak, and now seeing Chen Anxiu say this, he hurriedly said, "No, no, there are still a lot of candy at home, just take this off, right, candy?"

Candy seemed a little reluctant to agree, but nodded when Lou Nan asked a second time.

Chen Anxiu also wanted to coax out the biscuits in Mao Mao's hand, but Mao Mao recognized this thing, clung to it tightly, and didn't let go. Lou Nan also said on the side, "Don't make you cry, isn't it just a cookie?"

Chen Anxiu patted his buttocks, got up and went back to the house to get a pack of cookies for Candy, but he didn't dare to take a big bag for candy, so it was a pack, but it was actually ten thumb-length children's cookies. Open it in the pocket of the candy, and you can put it on the bottom. It's still a long way from filling up.

But even so, Candy was very happy, covering his pocket all morning, for fear that others would grab it again, risking the piece in his hand, and throwing it aside when he had played enough, Candy saw it, so he went to pick it up, and the biscuits inside were broken into slag, he asked his brother to help open it, and licked it himself.

Chen Anxiu was instantly moved, and chased after Lou Nan and said, let's change it, change it.

Lou Nan and Ye Jingqian are going to be on duty at the hospital today, so they don't care about his people to go crazy.

As for Mao Mao and candy, they have long been reconciled, and they went to the side to play hand in hand, and the two little fat bears walked hand in hand, swaying and swinging.

*

Two days ago, he was busy helping in the third uncle's field, and the weather was good this day, Chen Anxiu was ready to work in his own field, although their family did not have crop land, but they also had two vegetable fields. One is on the hill and the other is behind the village. In the back of the village, because he didn't go often, Chen's father planted all kinds of beans, peanuts, sweet potatoes, and millet rice. This piece of the mountain is mainly vegetables.

There is a custom of drying autumn vegetables in the mountain every season in this season, as the name suggests, it is to harvest all kinds of vegetables in the field, dry them, and put them away to prepare for winter.

The most vegetables that can be stored in winter are potatoes, cabbage, radishes and green onions, among which potatoes and radishes can not be dried, and they are easy to spoil when they are dried. Radishes and green onions need to be left in the sun to dry a little. Fresh chili peppers and ginger can also be buried in the moist sand soil for a long time, beans, this is strung with a thread, put in a ventilated place to dry, stewed pork ribs in winter, fried bacon is very delicious, pumpkin can be stored for a long time, winter melon is not good, winter melon is cut into shreds, candied as a snack to eat, can also be dried, and stewed soup with scallops in winter. The tomatoes are boiled, sealed in a jar, and an egg is added in winter, and you can drink tomato egg drop soup.

In addition, there are mustard gnocchi, amaranth, cucumber and small eggplant, these are mainly pickled pickles, mustard gnocchi and amaranth pickled are relatively simple, boiled in warm salt water, soak these in the pickle jar on the line, the only thing to pay attention to is the weather, the pickles pickled on rainy days will definitely rot, so the pickles on the mountain should also choose when the weather is good. Cut a knife in the middle of the small eggplant, stuff it with garlic paste and salt, compact and seal it layer by layer, take it out when you eat it in winter, put some sesame sauce and mix it is a very good cold dish.

To eleven, the fresh and tender leek moss is basically not eaten, the leek field is full of white leek flowers, the leek flowers that have just been picked are kneaded with salt, the leek flowers that are kneaded can be scrambled eggs to eat, if it is placed for a long time, it will become leek sauce, and the leek sauce can be dipped when eating hot pot in winter, and eggs and flour can also be added to fry the leek flower balls. Unlike the clear soup and watery leek sauce bought in the supermarket, I made it myself, which is very thick and has a much heavier leek.

As for spinach, rape, coriander and fennel, these are very hardy, when the weather turns cold, take a straw felt cover, and you can eat and pick it in winter, all of which are very fresh.

In fact, now greenhouses are everywhere, and there is no shortage of vegetables in the supermarket in the town in winter, but the people who farm the land always cherish what they grow, and have nothing to do with money, especially in the generation of parents and grandparents, who may have suffered from hunger and disaster, and pay special attention to these. Sometimes Chen Anxiu thinks that some vegetables don't grow well and wants to throw them away, such as cabbage that is not firm, radishes that are small, and green onions that are thick with little fingers.

The old man heard that they were harvesting vegetables in the mountains today, and they all came with them, the old man took tons of them to pull radishes, even Ji Fangnan, Ji Fangping and Zhang Wenxin also started, they all went to the countryside when they were young, and they haven't done farm work for many years.

But the old lady was obviously a layman, she followed the old man to load the radish, and the radish tassels were put in the bag without twisting, and the old man didn't let her interfere, and said again and again, "You can't, don't do this." You go and watch the child. ”

Chen Anxiu saw that the sun was big, and he was afraid that the old man would make a good appearance, so he was busy coming over for the old man, "Dad, that's it, don't get it, go to the side with your mother to drink some water and rest, and after finishing these, go back to lunch." ”

The old man glared and let him go up to the side to flash, "Don't think that I can't do it when I'm old, when I do these jobs, I haven't been as good as you and the fourth." ”

This Chen Anxiu heard Zhang Shinian say a little, the old man's background was okay in that era, although his family had a little land and he also went to school, but he could barely be classified as a middle peasant, plus he devoted himself to the revolutionIn that movement, he could have been spared, but the old lady had an accident here, the Zhang family had made a lot of contributions to the country before and after liberation, with a deep overseas background, and the relationship with the above, in the early days of the movement, it was also specially cared for to protect, but later the movement intensified, and it was no longer within the scope of control, the Zhang family was inevitably affected, Zhang Jinzhi and Zhang Shenzhi had accidents one after another, and the above asked the old man and the old lady to draw a clear relationship and divorce. The old man didn't do it, so he sent it to the farm one by one.

However, it is said that when working on the farm, the old man also returned to protect in many ways, and did not let the old lady suffer too much, and after many years, a friend who wanted to be good asked the old man about it in private, and the old man also joked, "I married back a delicate lady, can I not provide it?"

"What about the fourth, why don't you come out for a walk on such a good day, what are you doing in the house?"

Chen Anxiu came back to his senses and chose some fresh radish tassels to prepare pickles, "The fourth brother has been busy in the company recently, and it is until midnight every night, and there are many reeds outside in the past two days. ”

The old man looked up at the tons of people who were still wearing masks, neatly pulled out a radish and came out, shook his head and sighed, "Look at your eldest brother, second brother, I didn't see anything bad about falling and beating so big, our family, we raised such a precious fourth child, and I was born with a young master." He was born sick and crooked, he grew so big, I didn't dare to move a finger. The words are not very good, but the love for the young son between the words is overflowing.

Chen Anxiu was accustomed to the old man's rigid style, he had never heard such words that were close to warmth, and he was a little unaccustomed to it for a while, "That, Dad, I will take good care of him in the future." "A proper show of faithfulness.

The old man was amused by his words, and laughed out loud, An Xiu's words sounded like he had married the fourth child to him, and he wanted to pat him on the shoulder, but found that his hands were full of dirt and gave up, "Two people must respect and love each other for a long time together, but even if you want to take care of it, it should be the fourth child who takes care of you, he looks up to you so much, and it is appropriate to take on more responsibilities." The fourth child has a lot of restraint over the years, but sometimes it is inevitable that he has a young master's temper. ”

"Dad, I understand what you mean, I sometimes have a bad temper, and the two of us tolerate each other. ”

After living in the mountains for half a year, he also knew that this was an understanding child, and he would be relieved that he would be accompanied by An Xiu after the fourth child. The eldest and second boss will not have much of a problem in general, but if there is an emergency, it will not endanger their lives. It's the third ......

Chen Anxiu was close, and the old man's slight change in face couldn't hide it, when it came to this topic, the only one who could make the old man sigh was probably Ji Fangzheng's family, "The fourth brother is in contact, let Jun Yan transfer back to Australia as soon as possible, and now it should be almost done." He doesn't like Ji Junyan, but he is also a father, he understands the old man's feelings, no matter how much his parents hate, it is impossible to be really indifferent to their children, even if being a child breaks the hearts of their parents.

The old man nodded, did not comment, but said, "The turnips in this field are growing well." ”

"There is still a big piece of mutton in the refrigerator at home, and I eat it with radish stew at night. ”

"Okay, stick autumn fat, stick autumn fat, just eat more meat. ”

Chen Anxiu saw that the old man was happy, and he was relieved.

"Dad, look at this sweet potato vine we picked, there are a lot of sweet potatoes underneath, you see, there are a lot. ”

Chen Anxiu looked up, and there were a lot of sweet potatoes in his hand, big and small, and a big bag, "Where did you dig it?"

Sugar Ball hurriedly said, "That's it, the remaining few trees are estimated to be very large, I picked up the top layer, and there is still one underneath." ”

When I first planted sweet potato seedlings, I first came to the vegetable garden behind the village, and the remaining seedlings were planted here, but I didn't expect them to grow so much.

"Dad, let's burn sweet potatoes and eat them, shall we?"

"Okay, you and Sugar Ball go around picking up some dry firewood. ”

The two big ones ran away with a promise, and the two smaller ones also followed, and were left behind by Chen Anxiu, "Yueran, Tao Tao, don't go far, help me get some beans and peanuts." ”

Chen Anxiu dug two shallow pits in the clearing far from the forest, selected small sweet potatoes to bury them, spread hay on the pits and lit them, picked up dry firewood on the shelf, threw peanuts into the fire, and roasted beans that were still green on the side.

Candy and Mao Mao also came over curiously, probably knowing that there was something to eat, and they also squatted on the side and didn't leave.

Because the peanuts and beans at this time are very fresh, the moisture is large, and it is very hot after baking, but it is absolutely different from boiling it in water, so it is the original taste, the peanuts and beans are cooked quickly, that is, the outside is full of ash, the hands are very dirty to eat, and the sweet potatoes are relatively slow。

Chen's father, Chen's mother, and Zhang Wenxin are kicking cabbage in the field next to them, and they will all come over, tons and sugar balls are very well-behaved, and the baked things will be sent to the grandparents first.

Adults also know how to be restrained, and the children's mouths and hands are full of ashes.

Chen Anxiu was in charge of baking things, and he didn't have time to bake things, Zhang Shinian took over the task of feeding Mao Mao and candy, just now there were no beans and peanuts for them to eat, these two had already been hungry, so Zhang Shinian's sweet potatoes had not been peeled off, and the two small mouths had been opened, round, big, and with their heads up.

Although Zhang Shinian was wearing a mask, he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes, he tore off a little bit and blew it off before feeding it to their mouths.

Because the roast floor is very soft, you don't need to bite the candy and the bubble without teeth, and you can swallow it with a click.

It's lunch time soon, everyone has eaten roasted sweet potatoes, washed their hands by the river, Chen's father and Chen's mother took the big and small ones down first, Chen Anxiu was responsible for extinguishing the fire after the most trouble, and Zhang Shinian stayed to wait for him.

Chen Anxiu brought some soil, covered the burned ashes tightly, took a small stick to pull out a sweet potato the size of a tea bowl from the small pit next to him, winked at Zhang Shinian and smiled, "I kept the biggest one." We'll go back when we're done. ”

Zhang Shinian bent his eyes and reached out to pinch Chen Anxiu's face.

Chen Anxiu didn't know what to say at first, he only felt that the eyes of others at the dinner table looked at him strangely, and it wasn't until he went home to wash up that Zhang Shinian had two black finger prints on his face.

He rushed back to the bedroom to find someone to settle the account, and found that Zhang Shinian had fallen asleep against the edge of the kang, he helped the person take off his shoes and coat, pushed the person inside, jumped on it and took a nap.

In the afternoon, he still collected vegetables in the vegetable field, and Chen's father put the cabbage and green onions that he pulled back in the morning and dried them in the open space at the entrance of the building materials store.

Because of the old man's presence, Chen Anxiu stopped early in the afternoon, everyone was tired that day, Chen Anxiu planned to make something good, cut a large piece of mutton stewed radish, prawn fried cabbage, fresh potato stewed big fat chicken, and added slippery mushrooms.

From the time Chen Anxiu started cooking, Candy followed him, he took a step, Candy followed a step, Chen Anxiu was busy today, he really forgot his promise to Candy, and thought he was hungry, "Candy, you can only eat later, Uncle will give you milk and drink first, okay?"

Candy shook her head, her two little hands in the big pocket on her stomach and stirred around.

Chen Anxiu was slow enough, and before he realized it, he threw the cut potato pieces into the chicken soup, bent down and asked, "What do you want to eat that candy, uncle will make it for you now, wontons, steamed eggs, or fry a meatloaf to eat?"

Candy shook her head and lifted her big empty pocket.

Chen Anxiu suddenly realized, he finally remembered, he didn't expect this child's memory to be so good, to be honest, he said that yesterday did have a perfunctory element, and thought that the candy was such a big child who forgot about this stubble after sleeping, who knew that the candy was remembered until now, he felt a little guilty, turned down the fire on the stove, hugged the candy and walked out and said, "Uncle will take you to buy, what you want to eat candy, we will buy it." ”

Candy backhanded his neck and rubbed his face. When he heard that they were going out too, he also ran over to join in the fun, and Chen Anxiu had no choice but to bring him up.

Chen Anxiu took them to the supermarket first, but they didn't buy the candy for a long time, and Chen Anxiu took them to Sun Qing's fruit stall, where in addition to fruits, they also bought sugar gourds and all kinds of small snacks.

Sweet potato slices, hawthorn balls, persimmon cakes are all very seasonal, of course, the most is sugar fried chestnuts, accounting for several wooden boxes, the local chestnuts on Green Island are big, and they are also very glutinous, but the sweetness is not enough, so you want to buy sugar fried chestnuts in Green Island, ask ten, nine will tell you: I am the authentic pearl chestnut of Hebei Qianxi, is it only they know the Tao.

Just like now, Chen Anxiu just put down the two fat dundun, and Sun Qing greeted without looking up, "The new Qianxi pearl chestnut, do you want to try it, it's absolutely sweet, it's not sweet, it's not sweet, it's not money." ”

As soon as Sun Qing finished saying this, he saw four little fat claws stretching out and grabbing two chestnuts from his stall, and he was startled and suspected that he was dazzled.

Chen Anxiu patted their heads amusedly, "Don't make trouble, you haven't paid yet." ”

When Chen Anxiu first came over, Sun Qing was busy looking for money for others and didn't see the child, his stall was so high, and he couldn't see anyone at all when he stood at the bottom.

"It's a little doll, let's try it, try it. ”

They have already put it in their mouths, stained with saliva, and Chen Anxiu is not good to put it back again, it is still too young to eat this, Chen Anxiu peeled it off and licked it for him. The candy has eaten this, and I know that it is delicious and wants this.

Chen Anxiu tried to change the idea of candy, with such a big bag of chestnuts, can he still walk?

But the candy decided this, Chen Anxiu could only compromise, after loading three catties of chestnuts, there was half of the pocket, the candy is now overweight, the whole person is less than thirty catties, and six catties of chestnuts are loaded?

In this way, the whole pocket was really full, Chen Anxiu led him, and the candy moved forward in small steps, first with his left leg, then with his right leg, and if he walked fast, he would fall forward. However, he was very happy, his eyes were shining, and he didn't let people hug him, Chen Anxiu estimated that he would move back with him, and he could eat breakfast directly tomorrow.

Lou Nan and Ye Jingqian got off work, and before they saw the candy from afar, they saw his big belly.
