Chapter 4 Vegetable gnocchi soup
Hiding the purse sent by Gu Xiaomin in the closet, worried that the eldest sister who lived in the same house would find out, Dai Shuanglin simply hid the purse in the thick cotton clothes she wore in winter, not that she wanted to hide her secrets.
Good steel is used on the blade, and she wants to ask the doctor to see if she can add good medicine to his father, only when her father's health is better, the family will get rid of the current embarrassing situation.
The Dai sisters' room, when this house was built, the Sun family bothered to get it, although it was not a good wood, but the wardrobe or something, Sun entrusted Uncle Sun to bring it back from the county, so the sisters' house looked clean and comfortable, and the boudoir was also passed.
Looking at the past, there are two ochre-colored wardrobes, the left is the eldest sister wearing double red, the right is wearing Shuanglin, and the back against the wall are two chairs of the same color with a four-legged incense table, and an ochre dresser is placed behind the door.
The red lacquer carved plum jewelry box on the stage is slightly opened, revealing a red head rope, which echoes the orange pomegranate flowers in the carved lotus stone bottle next to it.
Hiding the purse, Dai Shuanglin changed her clothes and shoes, her hair was soaked, and she didn't tie it up after wiping it semi-dry and combing it, and she wore an old cloth towel behind her, just like that, her waist-length hair was scattered.
"What are you dressed up for? Hurry up and boil hot water to wash your hair, where is the cleanliness when you were a child? The bigger it is, the less decent it is. Before Dai Shuanglin could put away her wet clothes, Sun opened the curtain and came in, and when he saw Dai Shuanglin's messy dress, he couldn't help but stare and said.
"Hey...... I thought about waiting for the meal to wash it later, so as to save firewood...... Dai Shuanglin smiled, there was no land at home, and the firewood for cooking and boiling water depended on her and Dai Shuangxian to go outside to pick it up.
This Puyang town does not rely on the mountains or water, just rely on the rake to hold some weeds, it is good to say that it is good to use it now, if you want to save enough firewood for winter, you must be careful to save it.
After listening to the words of the little girl, the words of questioning and questioning before entering the house, the Sun family couldn't speak, the reason why the family has come to this point today is all because she and her husband don't know each other, and they didn't prevent Dai Er's thief from doing everything possible.
"Then let's wait for the evening to wash together" Sun sighed imperceptibly, and when he turned to go out, he turned back to Dai Shuanglin and said: "Your aunt said earlier that when the wheat is harvested, she will send us wheat stalks, and then I and your sister will embroider more objects during this time, and in a few days, let your uncle take it to Fucheng to sell, and buy more wheat stalks from the neighbors when he gets the silver." ”
"No, what to do with that money, Brother Xian and I can do it, save money for my father to take good medicine, buy more food......" Dai Shuanglin knew that Sun was distressed about her and Brother Xian, she was okay, from obesity to slenderness is a blessing in disguise, Brother Xian is different, the child who was not fat or thin is now going to become a hemp pole.
Sun didn't say much when she heard this, she just felt sorry for the child for a while, and really asked her to take out the money she used to get medicine for her husband to buy firewood, so let's talk about it, the whole family suffers a little more than saving Dai Xiangen's life, and it is naturally Baofujun's life that is important.
Because the little girl with a flamboyant tongue on weekdays suddenly became sensible, Sun's previous anger dissipated inexplicably due to speculation, she nodded and said: "You look at it, spread out your father's medicine and dry it, the weather will be moldy when it gets wet with rain."
"Okay, let's ...... dry" Dai Shuanglin, who thought she had escaped, replied happily, packed up the clothes she had changed into and put them in the wooden basin, and when she came back, she found a clean handkerchief, opened the medicine bag, and spread it out carefully.
I don't know that Sun stood for a while, and still threw down the sentence "Brother Min'er is back, you don't want to go out these days......"
"Hey" Dai Shuanglin was careful that her liver was jumping around, and she just agreed to it, thinking that this was really not in line with her usual style, and hurriedly said to Sun: "What does it have to do with me when he comes back?" Why don't you let me go out? ”
"Hmph, as if I didn't know! Your tricks are okay to deal with Brother Xian, want to deal with the old lady? Eat salt for a few more years...... I'll tell you again, if you dare to see him, just wait for your mother and me to jump Pingtang......" After Sun finished speaking, he threw the curtain and left, leaving Dai Shuanglin with a stunned face.
Forget it, if you don't go out, you won't go out, and you've seen it anyway.
Dai Shuanglin, who was seriously warned by Sun again, was unusually depressed in her heart, her eyes looked at the brightness outside the window, and she couldn't help but think of the azure figure that had been standing in the rain for a long time.
The summer rain comes and goes quickly, and when the rain stops and the sun shines, the fresh and moist air mixed with the fragrance of the earth comes to the face, refreshing people's hearts.
The sky was bright again, Sun and Dai Shuanghong didn't dare to delay for a moment, they washed their hands and started embroidery, while Dai Shuanglin was washing clothes and thinking about dinner, most of the food at home was bought or exchanged, and they wanted to save!
So for dinner, Dai Shuanglin made a bowl of black noodles, a handful of green vegetables, and a spoonful of lard to make a pot of green vegetable gnocchi soup.
When the wheat is brought to the mill, three kinds of flour and bran will be milled, which are the first flour, the second flour, and the third flour, and the three flours are distinguished from white to black.
The flour is the best on the first road, white and smooth, the steamed buns made with it are fragrant and soft and sweet in aftertaste, but unfortunately looking at the whole Puyang Town, not many people are willing to eat, they are all saved up and taken to the county to exchange money.
Before the Dai family's accident, they mostly ate two noodles, and occasionally ate dumplings with bread, instead of this black three-course noodles, and the steamed buns made from these three noodles were almost coffee-colored.
But after two years, the family is used to this kind of life.
No, a bowl of pimple soup for one person, after snoring and eating, sweating all over, so uncomfortable.
Dai Xiangen, who doesn't have a good appetite on weekdays, also ate a bowl, wiped his sweat and said to Sun: "Our sister Lin's cooking skills are better than yours." ”
"Hehe......" Sun also smiled, but in a blink of an eye, Dai Shuanglin, who was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, had traces of wanting to his tail, so he quickly changed his tone and said: "She, that's all." ”
"Mother, you don't understand, do you? As the old saying goes, people take food as the sky, and your little girl can make better meals than others, which is called capability, how can you call it just that? Dai Shuanglin didn't care about her mother's suppression, and said as soon as she put the bowl down.
Sun's eyes were dry, and he couldn't wait to go up and twist Dai Shuanglin twice, turning the sky upside down, and dared to say that she didn't understand.
Dai Xiangen smiled when he listened, this little girl is the pistachio of the family, in the first half a year, the family was in a mess, if there was no help from this little girl, this family might not have become.
Looking at the big girl who looks like a stuffy head and cutting shoes, and the little son who helps the little girl clean up the dishes and chopsticks, Dai Xiangen can't help but secretly rejoice, he Dai Xiangen has a white-eyed wolf brother, but he can have a wife like Sun, and three sensible and capable children, which can be regarded as God pitying him for being kind.
It was dark late in the summer, not long after the meal, Sun took advantage of the light to wipe Dai Xiangen, who had finished drinking the medicine, and then told Dai Shuangxian to take a bath, and then she was herself.
After everyone washed, the two sisters of the Dai family washed with the hot water left in the pot, Dai Shuanglin washed her hair more than others, she wanted to wait for her hair to dry before sleeping, but she was too tired during the day, so she lay on the kang and didn't say a few words, and fell asleep in a daze.
Dai Shuanghong, who was lying in the dark, heard the chirping in his ears suddenly disappeared, sighed, resigned himself to his fate, got up, took out a cloth towel from the kang cabinet, and groped in the dark to wipe Dai Shuanglin's hair, until the long hair that could not be held in one hand was touched without moisture, and Dai Shuanghong folded the cloth towel and put it aside.
If she remembers correctly, Sister Lin said that if you sleep with wet hair, you will have a headache when you get old, and she will only say that she can't do stinky girl, and she needs her to help every time.
After tidying up his sister's hair, Dai Shuanghong, who was also tired for a day, rubbed his somewhat dry eyes, and after lying down, he let out a long and soft breathing sound after a while.
In the dark, Dai Shuanglin comfortably rubbed her face against the pillow, pursed her lips and smiled, and fell into a deep sleep.
There was so much to do tomorrow that she had to get a good night's sleep to be able to cope with it.
"Oh my God...... You can do well, give me a way to live! Just after the Dai family had all fallen asleep, a sharp and piercing cry suddenly sounded in the silent night.
