Breakfast in the countryside is very simple, corn paste with syrup and water vegetables. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Corn paste is naturally not made of pure cornmeal, but first put the corn cob sent down last autumn in the pot to boil, and when it is almost cooked, take out the core core, and then sprinkle some corn flour ground with corn cob and corn in the pot, and this meal of corn paste is ready.

The cabbage is made from radishes and celery collected in autumn and celery and wild vegetables picked at the edge of the pond in spring.

In the early years, although no one had starved to death in this area of Beishui Village, all the wild vegetables, leaves, and bark that could be eaten as long as they could not be eaten by the dead.

Old Lady He sat on the kang table with her son and grandson, while Mother He sat on the small round table on the ground with her two aunts and He Yue.

Although the four olds are still being removed during this period, in the rural people's exquisiteness, women are not allowed to eat on the kang, especially when there are guests coming, women can only stand on the edge of the pot head board to eat.

"Smack, if you eat these scraped intestines all day long, why do you let people work."

On the kang table, Uncle He Guoqiang saw that it was corn paste that could be shadowed day after day, and he suddenly dropped the old porcelain bowl, but fortunately, the old bowl was relatively strong and not broken.

"What? If you don't want to eat, get out. Father He put the chopsticks on the table and looked at He Guoqiang with a calm face.

"Alright, eat." Seeing this, Mrs. He scooped some paste into the old bowl and handed it to He Guoqiang again, "Eldest daughter-in-law, the corn paste is thicker, and the soup that can shine on the shadow will be finished as soon as you soak in urine." ”

"Hurry up and eat, my mother will make you pimple soup to eat at noon." The old lady He handed the chopsticks to He Guoqiang, and whispered in his ear, and He Guoqiang reluctantly picked up the old bowl and ate it.

He Mu lowered her head and did not say a word.

"A day is like a dead man." Old Lady He glared at her and scolded in a low voice.

"Mom, Zhengjun said that he would get some bran for our family in a few days, and then he would give you a steamed nest to eat." The second aunt, He Xiangli, said happily to Mrs. He.

Wang Zhengjun is a well-known lazy food in Xijian Village, but his father Wang Erhu is at the grain station in the township, and occasionally gets some fine grains and bran, so he is also a character in this countryside, after all, the most precious thing in this era is food.

And this Wang Zhengjun can say again, and he doesn't know when he fell in love with He Xiangli, and the two of them got together.

"Smack."

He Guoquan put the chopsticks on the kang table, "I told you, that Wang Zhengjun is a lazy person (lazy), look at the girl in Xijian Village who is willing to marry him?" ”

"Don't think about it, I don't agree." Father He finally spoke.

"What's the use of you disagreeing? Our mom has agreed. He Xiangli muttered quietly.

"Mom, how can you agree?" Father He looked at the old lady He who was eating silently on the side, "Didn't I tell you everything, don't you know what this Wang Zhengjun looks like?" Didn't you push your second sister into the fire pit like this? ”

"Why did I push her into the fire pit?" Old Lady He was not happy when she heard this, "I inquired, the Wang family has a son like Wang Zhengjun, and there are three earthen houses, plus Wang Erhu is at the grain station again, and the second girl will marry into their family in the future." I'm doing this for her good. ”

"Then Wang Erhu can manage them for a lifetime?" He Guoquan said helplessly, "It's still the two of them to live in the future, if this man can't support a family, the woman can't suffer with it?" ”

"Then this ......" Old Lady He obviously doesn't want to give up the family business of the Wang family, at least for the time being, if she climbs into the family business of the Wang family, their family will be able to rub some food in the future.

"Xiangli, we died early, the eldest brother is the father, you have to listen to me in this matter, my brother will not harm you." He Guoquan said patiently to He Xiangli.

He Xiangli lowered her head, no one knew what she was thinking.

Seeing this, He Guoquan had no appetite for eating, so he simply got off the kang, and the family's breakfast was solved in a hurry. Looking at the back of He Mu's cleaning up the old porcelain dishes and chopsticks, He Yue gritted her teeth and went to her own east house when she went to the old porcelain bowl water.

"Mom, come over here."

"What's wrong? I'm going to work in a moment. He Mu came in while wiping her hands and said.

"Mom, drink this old bowl of water." He Yue didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and handed the old bowl to He Mu first, "Hurry up and drink." ”

"What is this?"

He Mu was about to ask, but Seeing this, He Yue hurriedly pushed the old bowl towards He Mu, "Hurry up and drink, the captain is blowing the whistle." ”

Veterans are afraid of trumpets, and members are afraid of whistles.

As soon as the whistle blew, the people who worked in the village were about to go out to work, so He Yue chose this time, because she hadn't figured out how to explain to He Mu.

After taking a sip, He Mu looked at He Yue in surprise, "Ya'er, where did this come from?" ”

Her daughter shouldn't do anything!

"Mom, don't worry, it's not stolen, I'll tell you when you get off work at noon." He Yue put away the old porcelain bowl and said, "You can't tell anyone, I'll tell you at noon, hurry up, the captain has blown the whistle for the third time." ”

There is also an old saying that 'the first whistle is not bought, the second whistle sticks out to look, and the third whistle shakes slowly.' But because He's father is the team leader, in order to support He Guoquan's work, He's mother is very active every time she goes to work.

"Mom, be careful with your work."

"I know, my girl has grown up." He Mu waved her hand with satisfaction, "Go and lie down on the kang." ”

Not long after lying down, He Yue heard the sound of the courtyard door being pushed open.

"Xiaoyue."

It was He Juan's voice.

He Juan and He Xiangping fought against each other in the morning, and both of them were injured, so they didn't go to work today.

"Sister Juanzi." He Yue lay on the kang and didn't move, but shouted, but his voice was very weak.

"What's going on? Is there any better? He Juan pretended to be very concerned and took He Yue's hand, but He Yue could see that there was more impatience and disgust in her eyes.

The strange thing is that He Juan behaved so obviously, how blind she was in her previous life, she didn't even see it.

"Sister Xiaojuan, I didn't mean to do that in the morning......" He Yue cautiously glanced at He Juan's still swollen face, "Are you still in pain?" ”

"Already...... It doesn't hurt anymore. He Juan gritted her teeth and said, "I'm here to give you something back." ”

He Juan said this, but the small burden in her hand was still tightly clutched in her hand.

"Really?" He Yue looked at the burden in surprise, her eyes were shining, and she suddenly thought of something and frowned, "When I came back in the morning, my sister-in-law scolded me and said, ......"

He Yue said here cautiously looking outside the door, and his voice was very low, "I also said that if I see you wear my things once, I will beat you once like today." ”

"Sister Juanzi, don't be angry with your sister-in-law, she is also ...... It's also ......."

"That ugly bastard!

He Juan said angrily, "Okay, don't cry, you can put away the things." ”
