Although Shi Mansion is not as luxurious as several nearby houses, the simple courtyard house also has its benefits. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

There are wings on the east and west sides, three side by side. The upper room is a stove room and a dining hall, and the walls are all made of thin green bricks, and the walls are made of wooden stakes, and some yellowed straw hats and baskets of bamboo strips are hung.

A five-meter-high osmanthus tree was planted in the middle yard where Lin Wenshan lived, and under the tree, Lin Ziqing's third aunt, Xiao Liang, rolled up her sleeves, revealing her two-brown arms squatting beside a large wooden basin and scrubbing the clothes in her hands.

Lin Ziqing's grandfather's house, more than 20 people up and down, basically separated, but now Lin Wennan and his eldest son Lin Jianming have gone to work in the field.

In normal times, Xiao Liang's family carried their clothes to the riverside at the entrance of the village to wash them, and the water by the river was lively and clear. Under the bridge, there are bluestone slabs on this side, the upper section is for washing vegetables, and the next section is for laundry.

But today is different, the youngest son Bingzi doesn't know what's going on, he has a fangs on his mouth and mouth, he also had a high fever in the middle of the night last night, and he talked nonsense in the middle of the night, she and Bingzi's father didn't close their eyes all night, so they stayed by the bedside, and the day just dawned, the eldest daughter Shuying went to the village to find the old Chinese medicine practitioner Sibo, I heard that Xing Sibo went to the county forty miles away yesterday evening, and Bingzi's father came back to work with her, and felt that this disease could not be delayed.

Lin Wennan went to discuss with Grandpa Bingzi, and asked his brother-in-law Liang Fumao to drive the only ox cart in the family to the next town to invite another old Chinese medicine doctor, Dr. Xiao.

On this day, she went into the house several times, and each time she touched the head of her youngest son, who had burned like a charcoal stove last night, and fed him a few sips of mint water.

Xiao Liang absentmindedly wrung out the water in his clothes, threw it into the bamboo basket on the side, and took one of the dirty clothes like a small hill at his feet and threw it into the basin, and scrubbed it with his hands.

With a worried face, he looked up from time to time at the sun that had gone down, pricked up his ears and listened to the sound of the ox cart from the front yard, from Gusang Village to the nearby Xiaojiawan Town, it was more than fifty miles back and forth, why did my brother go with Yingzi for almost a day, I guess it was time to come back, right?

After hastily rubbing his clothes, Xiao Liang stood up, wiped his wet hands on his body, turned around and hurriedly walked towards the east wing behind him.

Lin Ziqing came back with her younger brother and said hello to Xiao Liang, looking at the woman's body, looking at her rather tall figure wearing a blue coarse cloth dress with patches, her hair tied in a bun, and a peach wood hairpin.

The third aunt's eyes were very large, her complexion was dark yellow, there was a black shadow under her eyes, there were some residual bloodshots in her eyes, and her face was full of tiredness, as if she had not closed her eyelids all night.

Lin Ziqing asked with concern: "Third aunt, how is the situation of the little cousin?" Has the fever gone away? Has the doctor come to see you?"

Xiao Liang heard Lin Ziqing's question, and his feet were slightly incredulous, and his face immediately showed a touch of surprise.

"Qing'er, you're good, come and show the third aunt."

Lin Ziqing walked up as she said and stood in front of the third aunt.

Xiao Liang's big rough hand covered with calluses gently covered Lin Ziqing's forehead, as if feeling something, muttered: "Thank God, you are finally well!" ”

"Well, I'm fine, what's wrong with my little cousin?"

"The burn hasn't gone away, but it's not as hot as last night, it's almost night, and your sister Yingzi hasn't called the doctor yet, hey!"

"Should be back soon! Third aunt, don't worry, go see the little cousin first! I went back to cooking. ”

Lin Ziqing was saying goodbye to the third aunt and preparing to go back to her kitchen, but before anyone entered the house, there was a burst of angry scolding from the west wing opposite.

"Everyone, what are you hiding in the house and grinding? The sun is going down, and you don't go to the kitchen to cook on the fire, will it be possible to wait for the men to come back and be hungry? ”

At the same time as the voice suddenly sounded, Lin Ziqing turned her head to see that at the door of the West Wing, an old woman was standing there holding on to the wooden door, with a tiger face, sparse eyebrows, and a pair of eyes looking at people, as if she was staring at you. Flat-nosed, thin lips, gray hair neatly combed behind his head, tied in a bun, a few thin silver hairpins, and a silver round earring on both ears.

Short, thin and thin, wearing a new set of dark blue cloth clothes, with large feet, obviously unwrapped, it should be a woman who has been working in the field since she was a child.

The first time Lin Ziqing saw this old woman, she felt that this was not a good thing to get along with. The thought had barely crossed my mind, and the old woman at the door closed her two thin lips one by one and shouted again.

"Seeing that it's almost night, the rice is not washed and the stove is cold, are you deliberately making the whole family hungry? I can't find you everywhere, but I'm hiding here and dying, you lazy and bad scumbag! ”

I only heard a few whispering words: "Mother, I just came in, didn't I go to the vegetable field to look for pigweed?" I also went to collect a lot of firewood, and the pine hair at home was burned! ”

"Whew!"

The old woman Wang's swishing eyes swept over her daughter-in-law Luo Shi in the house, her face was full of disgust, and she spat on the ground and scolded: "Just hit such a small box of pigweed, enough for you to eat or enough for pigs!" Loose hair is also half a frame, not enough to cook a meal, you lazy and slippery loser! ”

Lin Ziqing listened for a long time, and the corners of her mouth opened a meaningful arc, this ancient Aunt Wang is too different from the modern character of Aunt Wang, one is kind and kind, and the other is bitter and mean.

Speaking of this, the old Wang family is also a little vicious, right? Aren't you afraid of scolding your eldest daughter-in-law to the point of being angry?

Lin Ziqing shook her head, looked at the third aunt who had already gone to the small cousin's house, and led the stunned younger brother back to the kitchen.

Lin Zitian came back to his senses and saw that his sister was looking at him, tilting her head slightly, frowning slightly, as if she was thinking about things.

He whispered, "Sister, what are you thinking?" I'm hungry, go cook, didn't you say there was duck stewed in the pot......"

"Well, I'll heat up the rice later, just fry a green vegetable, you can help me go to the fire."

"Hmm!" Lin Zitian nodded vigorously.

"Where's Daddy, where did Daddy go? Why aren't you at home now? Lin Zitian came back for a while, but he didn't see his father, and asked suspiciously.

"My father went to my uncle's house, saying that I didn't understand some problems in the books, and he wanted to ask for advice, and told us to eat first in the evening, he might eat at my uncle's house, but we will leave him a bowl of food later!"

"Good!" Lin Zitian nodded obediently.

Lin Ziqing touched her brother's head, then went into the kitchen early, lit the oil lamp first, and then opened the wooden lid of the cauldron, and soon a burst of smoke came out, Lin Ziqing hugged the spatula and turned over, and the duck was already stewed.

"It smells so good!" Lin Zitian sniffed and said with a smile.

A soybean oil lamp was lit on the stove, and in the corner of the wall, Lin Ziqing shoveled all the duck meat from the pot into a casserole, and then scooped a scoop of water to brush the pot.

Putting the lid on the casserole, she ran to the place where the fire was burning, put the firewood in it, and when she lit it, she called her brother to sit on the bench where the fire was burning.

I went to wash the rice myself, scrubbed the rice three or two times, and then added water again, covered the lid, put it on a small stove, and added a handful of pine hair to the bottom to make the fire more vigorous.

"Sister, for dinner, we eat porridge or dry rice." Lin Zitian asked with a smile while lighting the fire.

"Boil some porridge, wait for the porridge to be ready, then get a spicy tofu, and stir-fry a water spinach!" Lin Ziqing said.

Thinking of the spicy tofu, Lin Zitian's saliva couldn't help but slide down!

Lin Ziqing squatted down and picked up the water spinach by the light of the fire in the small stove.

She washed all these dishes in the water by the river, and only needed to pour them with clean water to cut the pot, so it didn't take much effort to make them.

Wash the fresh water spinach without chopping too much, then wash two garlic, cut it into thin slices, and stir-fry it later.

Lin Ziqing put the chopped water spinach in a large bowl, she took out a piece of tofu soaked in another water bowl, and cut it into boxy pieces with a knife.

Then use boiling water to run the tofu through hot water first to remove the beany smell.

Lin Ziqing put the chopped green onion, ginger and garlic foam into the hot oil pan, picked up the spatula and stir-fried quickly, and immediately scooped a spoonful of bean paste, and then stir-fried.

Lin Ziqing's oil and water were heavy, and after a vigorous stir-fry, the hot and spicy fragrance came out.

Lin Ziqing poured the prepared two-tael pork foam into the pot, and it was another dazzling stir-fry.

She bent slightly, leaned forward, and waved a spatula in her arms.

The inconspicuous long spatula with wooden handles, in her hands, seemed to be given life, becoming agile and light.

Soon, the meat foam in the pan turned into an attractive golden hue under the high temperature.

At the same time as the aroma of the meat overflows, the fat part of the fat in the pork belly foam is also grilled, and the enticing smell of meat wafts from the kitchen.

Lin Ziqing pushed the tofu cubes into the pot, and then sprinkled in the appropriate amount of salt and put in the appropriate amount of sugar.

Finally, Lin Ziqing picked up a clean bowl, put a spoonful of sweet potato flour into it, and mixed it with an appropriate amount of water.

Stir well and sprinkle on top of the tofu.

"It's time to get out of the pot!" Lin Ziqing said happily, and she sprinkled in the verdant chive foam. I didn't expect that in ancient times, making this spicy tofu was not as difficult as I imagined.

Lin Ziqing took a plate from the cupboard and carefully took out the mapo tofu and put it on the plate.

Each piece of tofu was golden and golden, and it was not broken. The yard is placed on a plate, full of three-dimensionality, and gently shakes.

She picked up a pair of chopsticks, picked up a piece of tofu, blew it with her mouth, and then handed it to Lin Zitian's mouth: "Tian Tian, you taste it." ”

Lin Zitian opened his mouth excitedly, put the tofu in his mouth, closed his eyes, and chewed it gently......

Lin Zitian finished eating, slowly opened his eyes, and that look, looking at Lin Ziqing, glowed like a wolf! "Sister, can I eat another piece? It's so delicious! ”

Lin Ziqing curled the corners of her mouth and smiled happily.

"There will be duck meat later, you can eat a duck leg at that time, don't worry, I'll brush the pot, the porridge will be ready, and then the vegetables will be fried!"

"Oh!" Lin Zitian is still a little disappointed, although the duck meat is very delicious, but in fact, when Xiao Tan was here, he could eat chicken and duck once in seven or eight days, and the food at home was not bad, but Xiao Tan's didn't know how to take care of housework, and the food he cooked was average, how could he compare with Lin Ziqing's cooking skills? So on the contrary, the ordinary tofu made by Lin Ziqing is more liked by Lin Zitian.

After the meals were ready, Lin Ziqing first took two clean bowls, put duck meat in the two bowls respectively, and said to Lin Zitian: "Father won't come back to eat today, the two of us will bring a bowl of duck meat to my uncle and third uncle's house, you take this little belt to my uncle's house, and I will take this to my third uncle's house." ”

Lin Zitian nodded and went out with the bowl.

Lin Ziqing glanced at the rest of the pot, and there was about half a duck, leaving a duck leg for his younger brother to eat, and then he would eat two pieces of meat and drink some soup.

This body is quite thin, you still have to eat some meat to make up for it, Lin Ziqing was probably more worried in the past, even if the food at home was good, but she didn't grow a little meat, and the whole person was like a bean sprout.

Lin Ziqing took the duck meat to the third uncle's house, and the third aunt praised her, and Lin Ziqing didn't stay long and quickly returned to her kitchen.

After a while, Lin Zitian returned.

After the two sisters and brothers had dinner in the stove room, Lin Ziqing boiled hot water to wash her brother's face and feet, and asked him to go back to the house to rest, and she had to clean up herself.

As soon as Lin Ziqing cleaned up, Lin Wenshan, who was a little drunk, arrived home.

After he entered the house, he couldn't help but look up at his daughter, and saw that her daughter was covering her son with a quilt, as if he saw Xiao Tan's family, and a trace of loss was inexplicably crossed in his heart, and he suddenly thought of something, and his heart was suddenly confused, and he hurriedly asked: "Why did Tian Tian go to bed so early today, have you eaten?" ”

Lin Wenshan's eyes, while saying these words, had already looked Lin Ziqing all over his body, back and forth, and carefully looked at him, until he was sure that his daughter was not as obviously stunned as last time, and then he relaxed a little.

"Dad, we've all eaten, and if you're hungry, I'll leave you some food." Lin Ziqing raised her head and whispered.

Lin Wenshan was slightly stunned, looking at his daughter in surprise, a little incredulous what he heard.

"Girl, isn't Dad dreaming? You—You're speaking neatly! ”

Lin Wenshan ran to Lin Ziqing's side, "Qing'er, are you all right?" ”

Lin Ziqing opened her mouth and was about to answer, but at this time, she only heard a "bang" and shouted: "Mother, mother, come out quickly!" ”

Lin Ziqing walked out of the room first, and a young man wearing straw sandals on his feet and mud-stained trousers rolled up above his knees, ran in from outside.

The young man was in his early twenties, with a dark complexion, thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose, and some plump lips. Lin Ziqing recognized this young man as her cousin Lin Jianming at a glance.

Lin Wenshan was startled by this sudden sound, walked outside the door and raised his head to see the person who came, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief, he showed a little surprise.

"Ming Zai, what's wrong with running in such a hurry?" Lin Wenshan asked.

Lin Jianming raised his hand to wipe the hot sweat on his head, glanced at Lin Ziqing, who was standing in front of the fifth uncle, and said to Lin Wenshan: "Fifth uncle, my father was bitten by a snake, and now he has been sent to Uncle Yiwen's medical center, and I came back to call my mother." ”

"What?" Lin Ziqing asked Lin Jianming a little anxiously: "How could I be bitten by a snake?" What the hell is going on? ”

"Oops! That's terrible! Lin Wenshan slapped his thigh, gritted his teeth, and his whole face was tangled.

Xiao Liang probably heard what her eldest son said, she came out of the house, her lips trembled and she was about to ask again, when the door of the opposite east wing creaked open.

A tall and thin old man, dressed in a coat, came out of it, his temples were a little gray, but his body bones still looked very tough.

The old man grabbed the collar of his coat with one hand, and held a dry tobacco stick in the other. Behind him, followed by the inexplicable Xu family.

Lin Ziqing knew that the old man in front of him was his uncle Lin Dewang.

Lin Dewang kept a tight face since he left the house, his eyes swept at Lin Wenshan and Lin Ziqing, and then he glared at Lin Jianming, who had a burning eyebrow over there, and shouted: "Then what are you doing here stupidly, hurry up and take your mother to see your father, if it's okay, hurry up and carry it home!" ”

Then Lin Ziqing's uncle, Lao Xu, took a few steps forward and grabbed Lin Jianming's arm suddenly, "Don't be stupid, you can make it clear, your father was bitten by a snake, does it matter now?" ”

"I don't know! This is not in a hurry, come back and call my mother to take a look! "Lin Jianming is a bit wooden, his head often can't turn, and now he doesn't know anything.

"Soldier Daddy......" Xiao Liang suddenly howled, pulled his legs and rushed out, and before he could run two steps, his body suddenly stunted, and the whole person fell straight behind him.

Lin Ziqing on this side looked moved, and was about to jump up from the ground to pick it up, Lin Jianming on the side was quick with his eyes, and he helped his mother with a hand, and the stupid boy reacted quickly enough now.

"Third sister-in-law......" Lin Wenshan shouted.

Uncle Lao Xu walked up and shook it, and Xiao Liang came back to his senses.

"I'm going to find Daddy Bing!" Xiao Liang stared at a pair of eyes that were about to lose focus, but he still pushed his eldest son away hard, pulled his legs and rushed to the front room.

"Third uncle, what should I do now? Come up with an idea! Lin Wenshan glanced at the direction where the third sister-in-law ran away, and was so anxious that he stomped his feet.

"What are you still doing? Let Meimei take care of the soldiers, and the other men will go to the hospital to see the situation! ”

Before Lin Dewang's words fell, Lin Jianming rushed out like a gust of wind, Lin Dewang buttoned up his shirt, and chased after him in a hurry.

On the side of the backyard, there were suddenly Xu Shi, who was standing in the middle of the courtyard and a little anxious, and Lin Ziqing, who was standing under the base of the wall with a stunned face.

Within a few days of coming to this time and space, so many things had happened, and Lin Ziqing's heart was also entangled. (To be continued.) )
