Chapter 22: Peanut Cheese
Qinghe put down the fresh goat milk that had just been warmed in his hand, first went to Qingyang's house to shake him awake, and then went back to his house to call Erbai, but unfortunately Erbai was far less worry-free than his younger brother, and after calling the old man for a long time, he wrapped himself in a quilt and continued to sleep deeply.
"Erbai, wake up, goat's milk is going to be cold, this is not easy to have, don't waste it."
"Erbai, if you don't get up again, I'm going to use extraordinary means-" Saying that, Qinghe pulled up his sleeves, twisted Erbai's cheeks, pulled left and right, saw her frowning and her eyelashes trembling slightly, couldn't help laughing and spread out her palms, rubbing her red face.
"Green ...... Green? Erbai opened her eyes in a daze, and the light pierced her eyes quickly, and it took a while for her to get used to them before opening.
"Why are you lying in bed like this today? Not usually. Qingqing lifted the quilt with her left hand and asked strange questions.
Erbai rubbed his slightly hot cheeks, covered his palms for a while, and then pouted and said, "I don't know, I got up today, I felt tired and sleepy, and I didn't have any strength in my body, Qingqing, what's wrong with me?" ”
When Qing He heard this, she stopped what she was doing, hurriedly sat on the edge of the bed, stretched out her slightly cool hand to measure the temperature, but her hand was really cold and she couldn't measure the temperature, so she used her hand to support Erbai's head, brought her forehead closer, and stuck it on Erbai's head.
Erbai, who had just woken up, had messy hair, tickling Qing He's eyes, Qing He couldn't help but tease it several times, and finally her hand was caught, she tilted her head, and wondered: "What are you doing to catch me?" The hot breath of breath and Erbai are intertwined with Erbai while speaking, which is quite ambiguous.
Qing He hurriedly distanced himself, wiped the unnecessary folds on his clothes as if he were disguised, lowered his eyes and said, "My forehead is not hot, it's about the same as me, and I don't have a fever." Do you have an itchy throat and want to cough? Do you have a headache or something? ”
Erbai shook his head like a rattle.
No pain, no itching, nothing.
"I just don't have the strength."
Qing He was a little anxious to walk around in place, and suddenly a flash of inspiration struck and he slapped his palm and startled Erbai.
"What's wrong, Qingqing?"
"Erbai, you, didn't you come to Kwai Shui?"
"Huh?" Looking at Erbai's dazed expression, he blinked in confusion, "What is Kwai Shui?" Is it tasty? ”
"Poof." When Qing He heard this, he almost bent over with a smile, "My good Erbai, Kwai Shui is a must-come for every adult woman every month, it belongs to the filth discharged from the woman's body, how can you eat it?" Stop making me laugh. After speaking, he hurriedly relieved himself.
"Get up and I'll see if it's coming."
Erbai got up inexplicably, and turned around again at Qinghe's request, "Is there one?" ”
"It's weird, why not, so what's wrong with you? , or let's go to the doctor later. ”
"Nope! I don't want it! ”
Erbai protested while putting on his clothes, "That medicine is hard to eat, Qingqing, I want to eat sweet!" Sweet! ”
"Oh, I can't help you."
The two walked out and found Qingyang with his hands on his knees, already sitting obediently in his seat, obviously washed.
"Yangyang eats this milk and wotou, it's not enough to eat, and there are still in the kitchen."
Qingyang took a small sip of goat milk, and the fragrance made him squint his eyes and taste it for a while, "Sister, where did this goat milk come from?" We don't have any sheep at home. ”
"Go wash up."
After saying goodbye to Erbai, Qinghe also sat down and took a sip to warm up, "This goat's milk was sent by the second aunt, her daughter's family raised a few sheep, and the little lamb gave me milk, so give me a share, is it delicious?" ”
"Hmm!"
"If it's good, drink more." Qing He reached out and wanted to touch his brother's head, but who knew that he turned his head to avoid it.
"Sister, I'm eleven years old this year, don't keep touching my head, I heard that if you touch your head too much, you won't grow taller." Qingyang puffed out his cheeks and spoke.
"Yo, where did you hear that? It's all nonsense. Qinghe nibbled on a steamed bun, "You're only eleven after the New Year, so why are you in such a hurry." ”
"Sister, sister, I will be able to protect you when I grow up." Qingyang stood up excitedly as he spoke, and accidentally touched the half-eaten steamed bun on the table.
After listening to this, Qing He silently handed him a new steamed bun, until Qing Yang lowered his head, thinking that he had said the wrong thing, and Qing He's soft voice floated to his ears.
"Okay, sister is waiting for you."
"Qingqing, I don't want this." As soon as Erbai stepped in, she disturbed the silent atmosphere in the house, she felt that the room was strange, and she didn't study it carefully, but just opened the curtain to dissipate the smell of the goat's milk, but brought the cold into the house. She was in good health and didn't feel cold, and the Xu sisters and brothers couldn't help but shiver.
"Erbai, quickly put the curtain down." Finally not so cold, Qinghe picked up Erbai's goat milk and raised his eyebrows, "Why don't you drink it?" ”
"That smell, disgusting!" Erbai also deliberately accentuated his tone, pinched his nose and leaned towards the door, refusing to take a sip, "I want to eat sweet, Qingqing, I want to eat sweet~"
Qinghe put down the bowl, and Erbai leaned up and rubbed Qinghe's shoulder.
"How old are you, and you still like sweets."
Erbai was about to star, but he only saw the empty bowl on the table, and the back of Qingyang opening the curtain and returning to the house.
"Look, even Yangyang is going to laugh at you." Qing He looked at the sullen Erbai and patted the back of her hand, "That's it, you behave well in the morning, drink it, and I will fulfill your wish and make you sweet, okay?" ”
"Good! Qingqing is talking about it? Erbai grinned.
"When did I lie to you?" Qing He raised his eyebrows.
"I drink, I drink." After a few sips, Erbai turned the bowl over, signaled to finish drinking, the corners of Qinghe's mouth curved slightly, and stretched out his left hand to test the milk stains on the corners of Erbai's mouth.
"What an old man, still so childish. If you're not feeling well today, go back to the house and lie down, and I'll make you something to eat. ”
Erbai nodded and turned around, quietly stretched out his tongue and licked the corners of his mouth, always feeling that the thing he drank today didn't seem to be so disgusting, as if it still had some incense.
Not bad, try again next time.
Seeing that the two of them were finished, Qing He packed up the things on the table and went back to the kitchen.
The pot was still hot with hot water and the remaining half of the goat's milk was warmed, Qinghe held it in his hand, feeling that Erbai was a bit wasteful if he didn't drink it, and after thinking about it, he decided to use goat's milk to make a sweet soup for Erbai.
Soak the peanuts and glutinous rice first, Qinghe went out to pick up the clothes that were sent to the store a few days ago to find the tailor to modify, and they were specially made according to the size of Erbai. Because Erbai is taller and a little stronger than Qinghe, the clothes are slightly smaller.
After arriving home, Qingyang was still reading in the house, Erbai was still asleep, Qinghe put down the burden in his hand, and stared at Erbai in his sleep with a worried look on his face.
A person who used to be alive and well suddenly became weak and snooze, and always felt that something was not right. It's better to wait for Erbai to wake up and take her to the doctor.
Hiding something in his heart, Qinghe couldn't sit still, walked back and forth in the house several times, but still went to the kitchen and made the sweet soup that was originally planned to be made at night in advance.
It's easy to say, even if it's a hand, Qinghe does it calmly.
She grinds the soaked glutinous rice and peanuts, then adds goat's milk and a small amount of water and slowly boils over low heat. Because I am afraid that it will be pasted in the pot, it is packed in an iron bowl, then placed in boiling water to boil, then add sugar, stir slowly, and wait until the milky white liquid is bubbling.
Qinghe was served, and a handful of sesame seeds were sprinkled, with a little black in the milky white, black and white, and with the fragrance of milk and peanuts, this peanut cheese is extremely attractive whether it smells or looks.
Qinghe held the bowl, thinking that Erbai should be happy now, and when she finished drinking, she would go to the doctor.
As soon as she arrived at the room, Qingyang came out with a look of intoxication, he pointed to the big bowl, and said with joy, "Sister, did you make it for me?" It's a big portion, I can't finish it......"
Before he finished speaking, Qing He interrupted him, "Erbai still has to eat, this time you are blessed by her, otherwise you also love to drink goat's milk, so you don't have to do it so complicated." ”
Seeing his younger brother hanging his head gloomily, Qinghe rubbed his younger brother's head, "Isn't it just a peanut cheese, I will also make something delicious for you in the future, Yangyang eat it quickly, don't be cold." Erbai didn't know what was wrong with him, and he slept ......"
"Qingqing, it's so fragrant~"
