Hearing that Huo Xiaohan was going to get pots and bowls, Yuan Anping said that he would also go back. He can't help much here, and if he does something, he will be robbed, so he can only watch from the sidelines, so it is better to go home and stay.
On the way, Zhou Xiangzhi asked Yuan Anping: "Anping, how many bowls did you buy?"
"Six bowls, and six plates, two porcelain basins. ”
Zhou Xiangzhi summed it up in her heart, it is enough for the family to use these tableware, but it is enough to invite someone to eat at night, this bowl seems to be not enough, thinking that she will let her husband bring his own dishes and chopsticks later, if it is really not enough, I will borrow a few from others.
When Yuan Anping and the others pushed open the door, Zhong Sun Rui was sitting by the kang and talking to his grandfather. He is rare for a kang bed that can generate heat, and he doesn't have to sleep in the open this winter, and he will soon have a place to live, which makes him talk a little lively. Seeing that Zhongsun Lianjue felt very uncomfortable, the child had suffered with himself in the past two years.
Hearing the movement from the door, Zhong Sunrui hurriedly got out of bed: "Grandpa, I'll go out and have a look." ”
Yuan Anping entered the yard and the first thing to greet him was the three little guys, because they were fed very well, and the meat looked very cute, and then he saw Zhong Sunrui running out.
"Is your grandfather okay?" Yuan Anping asked, taking care not to step on the puppy that kept coming at his feet.
"Grandpa is fine. Zhong Sunrui whispered back, and then followed them into the house like a little tail.
Huo Xiaohan packed up the things, so when he entered the house, he went directly to get the things. Because he wanted to cook mutton at night, Yuan Anping took out some peppercorns and turned over a piece of ginger. Ginger is not produced in the north, and the ginger they eat here is transported from the south, so it is more expensive, and it is not much used for cooking on weekdays, only in winter they will buy some, one is for the New Year, and the other is to ward off the cold.
Zhou Xiangzhi took the seasoning, these things can be used when making meat dishes, and her family will only buy a little when they enter the wax moon, and they haven't bought it this year.
After looking at the amount, she said, "That's a bit much, just use a few grains in a pot." ”
Yuan Anping didn't care much and said, "You can take it back and use it if you have more." I bought a little too much. ”
Zhou Xiangzhi pushed it away with a smile: "No, keep it for Xiaohan, I'll buy it when I get into Layue." ”
Huo Xiaohan heard himself mentioned, but he couldn't say anything about such a topic. Fortunately, Yuan Anping continued: "I really bought a lot, and when the time comes, I will divide it with him, you can use it as much as possible, and you don't have to go all the way to buy it." ”
Hearing him say this, Zhou Xiangzhi was no longer polite: "That's okay." ”
Loading all the dishes at home in a bag, Yuan Anping said to them: "You go first, I will boil some hot water for you later." ”
Zhou Xiangzhi: "How can I boil water." After the pot was ready, I would boil them some hot water to drink. ”
Yuan Anping thinks it's okay, he doesn't have a kettle here, and it's inconvenient to get it after it's boiled: "Uncle, they're so busy, do you want to give them sugar water to drink?" He also has tea, but he thinks that these people should prefer sugar water to bitter tea.
"No need, only when the guests come to be entertained with brown sugar water. Okay, you don't have to worry about it, they have nothing to say about the two big pots of mutton soup in the evening. ”
Yuan Anping was relieved when he heard her say this, looking for people in the village to work, he was most afraid of being criticized, otherwise it would not be easy to ask someone to help him next time. However, he also understands that it is not good to be too much, so although he can also buy a large table of good dishes, he does not plan to make them too good.
Helping to send things over, on the way back, I ran into Li Zi and his friends.
Several people ran to Yuan Anping's side: "Brother Anping, what are you doing?"
"I'm going home. ”
Hearing him say this, Li Zi proudly said to a few friends: "Look, I'll just say that they won't let Brother Anping work together." ”
Li Dongfeng couldn't help but scold him: "What is there to be proud of, I also know that they will definitely not let Brother Anping work." Brother Anping is Mr. ”
Yuan Anping was a little speechless when he understood what they were saying, and interrupted them: "Why are you guys going together?"
Fat Dun hurriedly said: "Come to play with Brother Anping." ”
Li Zi denied: "It's not playing, it's chatting, it's asking questions." ”
Li Dongfeng dismantled the stage: "What kind of question, didn't you just say that you came to talk to Brother Anping?"
Yuan Dahe, who led his younger brother, explained: "I originally wanted to help, but my mother didn't let me get in the way, so I led my younger brother to play." ”
Seeing this, Yuan Anping said, "Let's all go to my house." ”
On the road, Fat Dun also muttered to the others about Zhong Sunrui's existence very conscientiously, so when a few people saw Zhong Sunrui, they didn't show any unusual behavior. Zhong Sunrui hadn't played much with other children, so when he saw them, he didn't know what to do, so he stood aside and didn't speak.
Yuan Anping helped a few of them introduce: "His name is Zhong Sunrui, and you will take him to play in the future." ”
Several people readily agreed.
Yuan Anping first looked at Uncle Zhongsun's condition, and found that he was still in good spirits, so he said to a few small ones: "Go and sit on the bed, don't be too angry." ”
A few people were very happy to enter the back room, they liked the kang bed of Yuan Anping's house, it was warm enough, and it was very comfortable to sit around and talk. So a few people entered the house, and after obediently saying hello to Zhongsun Lianjue, they consciously took off their pants and went to bed. Li Zi also warmly beckoned Zhong Sunrui to sit with them.
Here, Yuan Anping got some walnuts, red dates and candy and served them to them. Seeing this, Li Zi smiled and said, "Brother Anping, don't always give us food, every time we come, you get some food, which makes us a little embarrassed." ”
Li Dongfeng agrees.
Yuan Anping smiled: "Don't be good." Besides, I don't lack this food. ”
After putting the small table away, Yuan Anping took the candy and gave it to the youngest Yuan Xiaohe, this little guy was his cousin, but it was the first time he came to him. The little guy didn't recognize life either, and when he saw the candy, he immediately took it, and his happy eyes narrowed with a smile. Yuan Anping took another piece of candy to Zhong Sunrui, who was a little shy, for fear that he would be embarrassed to take it. As for the others, there was no need for him to say hello.
Zhongsun Lianjue looked at Yuan Anping on the side, judging from his attitude towards children, he felt that this person should be a kind-hearted person. It gave him a lot of peace of mind.
After settling them, Yuan Anping said, "You guys are playing here, I'll go pack up my things." ”
Out of the house, Yuan Anping closed the door, and then came to the jar where the things were placed, and took out the things he bought a few days ago from the space under the cover. Mainly rice noodles, all kinds of grains such as millet and mung beans. As for the meat in the space, the fatty pork was going to be used by Huo Xiaohan for oil refining in two days, and as for the rest, it was kept and eaten slowly. During the Chinese New Year, everyone can't help but be extravagant, and he doesn't have to worry about the smell of meat.
………………
The so-called number of people is powerful, Yuan Gensheng looked at the almost repaired roof, thinking that they were repairing it very quickly. After looking at the sky, I felt that it was almost time to make dinner. It happened that Zhou Xiangzhi came over and asked him: "Why hasn't this old Liu Tou sent the meat over yet, why don't you go over and take a look." The stew needs to be heated, it's time to cook. ”
"Okay, I'll take a look. ”
Yuan Gensheng didn't go far when he saw Lao Liu Tou walking this way with his son.
The two approached, and Lao Liu put away the smoking pot and explained with a smile: "It took some time to steam the sheep's blood, so don't delay your cooking?"
"No delay, no delay. ”
Old Liu Tou said with a smile: "Gensheng, I just saw your third brother and the three of them also coming here." It's a little late to say that the help came. ”
Yuan Gen said with great heart: "It's all at this point, how can it be that you are here to help." Taking the basket of meat in Lao Liutou's hand, the three of them walked back together.
After sending the mutton into the kitchen, Yuan Gensheng knew what kind of character his third brother and his two sons were, so he pulled his daughter-in-law aside and said, "Old Liu Tou said that the third brother and they are also here." ”
Zhou Xiangzhi frowned when she heard this: "It's all here...... No, I have to ask Xiaohan to send the mutton to Anping, those two people are the masters who take advantage of the fact that they are not enough, open their mouths and ask Anping, there are so many people, Anping is not good not to give it to him. This loss is not to be eaten. Saying that, he hurriedly entered the kitchen, and after keeping the meat used for cooking, the rest was packed in a basket, covered with a cloth, and said to Huo Xiaohan: "You can send the remaining meat to Anping, and by the way, steam two pots of cakes over there." ”
Huo Xiaohan didn't think much about it, obediently carried his things and left, and after going out, he saw Yuan Genshuo's family from a distance, walking this way, and he understood what was going on. He hurried past with his basket bowed down and did not stop when he heard them shouting.
Fang Hua complained dissatisfiedly: "This Huo Xiaohan is deaf, he doesn't know how to stop it." ”
Yuan Genshuo hadn't seen Huo Xiaohan much: "You don't care what he does, let's go, it's time to cook." I think we're here too early. ”
Fang Hua disagreed: "It's better early than late, if it's late, if they finish picking all the meat, let's thank you." ”
Yuan Dafu hurriedly said: "Mother, when the time comes, you can help me hold more meat." ”
"Okay, wrap it on your mother, and I'll definitely get you more meat. ”
When a family of three entered the courtyard, Yuan Genshuo and Fang Hua were both thick-skinned people, and when they saw that no one cared about them, they took the initiative to smile and talk to others. Seeing Yuan Gensheng, who was busy with work, he stepped forward and called his eldest brother with a smile.
Although he didn't want to see them and his wife in his heart, as the eldest brother, it was always good to ignore them, so Yuan Gensheng said nonchalantly: "Coming?"
Fang Hua glanced at the roof that was about to be repaired, and said to Yuan Gensheng with a smile: "This house is about to be repaired." Hey, we knew too late, otherwise we could have come and helped sooner. ”
Yuan Genshuo also said: "Yes, big brother, I naturally want to help with Anping's affairs." You're really, why didn't you notify us?"
Hearing them say this, Yuan Gensheng felt that his heart was in his heart, so he said: "This is a favor to help Huo Xiaohan, if you really want to help." As he spoke, he pointed to the two West Chambers that had not been repaired, "See, those two rooms have not been repaired yet, you can come over tomorrow to help." ”
Yuan Genshuo didn't really want to work, even if he could eat a good meal for help, so he didn't answer with a smile.
Fang Hua saw that there was no shadow of Zhou Xiangzhi in the yard, so she said, "What about the sister-in-law? He went to the kitchen.
In the kitchen were Zhou Xiangzhi and a woman who helped, and the two of them didn't have a good face when they saw Fang Hua come in. Fang Hua didn't care about their expressions at all, and after saying hello with a smile, a pair of eyes looked around, and after seeing the basket on the table, she leaned over and lifted the cloth on it to see: "Yo, this is mutton, right? Anping is generous. ”
Zhou Xiangzhi walked over and lifted the basket, said with a stiff face: "Those people come to help, they have to make people eat." As he spoke, he asked the woman who burned the fire: "Sister-in-law Zhao, is the water hot, I will wash the meat." ”
"Alright. Zhao said as he took a ladle and poured hot water outside.
Fang Hua didn't look at the meat again, knowing that she couldn't catch it, and saw a lot of sheep blood in the basin: "Sister-in-law, let's use up so much sheep blood, take two pieces when I leave." I like to eat fried cabbage with sheep's blood, and I've been thinking about it for a long time. ”
Zhou Xiangzhi didn't expect her to really want everything: "If you can use it up, then a little bit is not enough." A dozen people can eat a cow. ”
Fang Hua didn't care so much: "So much meat, why don't you need me to have two pieces of sheep blood." As he spoke, he took out two pieces, put them in the bowl, and then shouted outside, "Dafu, Dafu, come here." ”
Yuan Dafu was playing outside, and when he heard his mother calling him, he hurriedly ran to the kitchen, thinking that there was something delicious.
Fang Hua handed the bowl to her son: "Here, take this back to our house." ”
Zhou Xiangzhi frowned, this person was thick-skinned and really had no choice but to speak: "Remember to bring the bowl back, there are not enough bowls here." She felt that if she didn't say it, Fang Hua would be able to give the bowl by the way, and it wasn't that she couldn't do such a thing.
Fang Hua smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, look at what you said, I'm afraid that I won't be able to rely on your bowl." ”
"I'm just reminding you. Zhou Xiangzhi said in her heart: "I'm really afraid that you will do this." ”
Yuan Anping didn't know the situation here, at this moment he looked at the basket of mutton, the four legs of mutton were complete, and said to Huo Xiaohan: "Let's keep one leg of lamb and some ribs, and the rest for the uncle's family for the New Year." ”
Huo Xiaohan was meeting, he naturally had no opinion when he said this, and when he thought of the New Year, he thought of Yuan Anping's uncle, according to the rules, Yuan Anping should give meat to his two elders during the New Year: "Your uncle and their family have also passed, and Aunt Zhou asked me to bring the meat first." ”
Yuan Anping naturally understood that the family wanted to eat a meal, but he didn't care much. As for why he sent the meat back, he also thought about it, the so-called people are invincible in the world, and sometimes there is really nothing to do about such people.
"Too lazy to think about them. He got some rice and said, "Let's boil rice porridge, just with the cake." 166 Reading Network
