Dong Rong couldn't interject and was really impatient and bored in the house, so she put on a straw hat and a piece of linoleum and went out for a walk.

Zhao Qingshan had just bought a sheep and came back, and he was happily taking two handymen to kill sheep and skin them. Most of the boiling water was boiled in the big iron pot under the straw shed, and the water was splashing. Sister-in-law Liu and Meihua laughed so much that their eyes almost narrowed, and while laughing, they threw large pieces of ginger and green onions into the pot, just waiting for the fresh mutton to be thrown in and ready to stew.

Dong Rong was choked with blood, and her stomach was extremely uncomfortable, so she said hello to everyone and hid aside.

Speaking of which, many customs in this time and space are similar to her hometown in her previous life, such as the farmer's family likes to eat pancakes with pancakes as dry food, likes to hang bacon on the beams of the house, and eats meat-filled dumplings on New Year's Day. But there are also many differences, and drinking mutton soup this summer is one of them. Many years ago, the older generation passed down this habit, to drink mutton soup in summer, and the hotter the better, so as to remove the moisture in the body and prevent epidemics.

It's a pity that the farmer's family can fill their stomachs, and it is already God's grace, where is the spare money to buy sheep to kill and eat meat, so most of them just think about it. I don't want to be rainy today, even the young students with the most firepower feel wet and cold, the main family suddenly wants to boil mutton soup to treat everyone, this is like pie in the sky, no wonder the orchard is so lively that it almost turns the sky upside down.

Murong Huaide walked all the way up the mountain, and he heard everyone laughing loudly from a long distance, he frowned in confusion, and when he turned the corner and saw Dong Rong squatting under the tree in a daze, he was even more annoyed.

"Why did you get out?"

"Ah, pillar, where did you go?" Dong Rong jumped up happily and almost overturned the linoleum on her shoulder. Murong Huaide hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover her tightly, and then asked without answering while taking her back, "Have you drunk the medicinal soup?" ”

"Drink, you all guard against me like a thief, how can I have a chance to fall around." Dong Rong remembered the bitter taste of the medicinal soup, pursed her lips in disgust, and finally glanced at the stupid pillar with a cold face and said suspiciously, "Zhuzi, why do I think you have been in the past few days... Seems to be much smarter? No, it's grown up a lot. It's not right, but there's something different about it. ”

Murong Huaide's arm tightened when he heard this, causing Dong Rong to stumble under his feet, and she pinched him with her hand and said angrily, "I praised you just now for being so smart, why can't you even walk well?" I can't help but boast! I'm scared of you this poisoning, don't be afraid, I don't feel any pain at all. I just had a dream about my past life..."

Past? Murong Huaide raised his eyebrows slightly, and laughed in his heart at how these strange things came out of his little daughter-in-law's mind. Dong Rong seemed to feel that when he talked about this, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to understand it, so he quickly put away the conversation and made a conclusion directly, "In short, I was deceived very badly in my previous life, so if anyone dares to lie to me in this life, I will never forgive him!" After saying that, she waved her fist at the stupid pillar like a demonstrative, and asked, "Honestly, what are you hiding from me... How much private money is hidden? ”

Murong Huaide thought that she had discovered her hidden secret at first, but when she heard it, she realized that it was a fraud, and she really couldn't laugh or cry in her heart. Just as he was about to speak, someone behind him shouted, "Sister, how are you, does your arm still hurt?" ”

It turned out that Dong Ping was resting today, and he returned to the small courtyard happily but heard that his sister was bitten by a snake, and he was so frightened that all the three souls and seven spirits were thrown out of the sky, and he ran up the mountain in the rain.

Dong Rong looked back and saw that her younger brother had run away with Xizi, and the two of them didn't know how many falls along the way, they were as dirty as mud monkeys. She was so distressed that she hurriedly greeted her, and complained while pulling the linoleum to protect her brother from the rain, "I was bitten by a snake, and it's not a tiger and a black bear, what are you doing running back in such a hurry?" ”

Dong Ping was not only not annoyed when he heard his sister's scolding, but his face showed joy, "Sister, are you really okay?" ”

"It's okay, don't worry, I'm fine." Dong Rong shook her arm wrapped in cotton cloth, signaling that her wound was fine, and then said with a smile, "It's just right for you to come back today, and you are boiling mutton soup at home." Drink two more bowls to get rid of the dampness, but don't delay your studies because of the rain and cold. ”

Dong Ping saw that his sister was really fine, and he was also happy, and joked, "Boiled mutton soup? Then I want to drink a few bowls, I used to watch people drink mutton soup, and I was so hungry that I drooled..."

The sister and brother walked up the mountain while talking like this, Xizi was even more childlike, and as soon as she heard about killing sheep, she ran ahead to see the excitement, leaving Murong Huaide standing alone in the rain, feeling complicated and helpless. Maybe today isn't a good time to confess, but let's talk about it later.

Dong Rong walked a few steps and didn't see the stupid pillar coming, so she turned her head and shouted, "Pillar, come up quickly, your clothes will be wet for a while." ”

"Oh, here we are." Murong Huaide sighed secretly, and when he looked up again, he had already put on a smile again, and hurried to catch up.

In the grass shed next to the hut, large pieces of mutton and mutton bones have been put into the pot, and the sheep hearts, sheep livers, and sheep intestines that have been cleaned and cut into small pieces have also been thrown down, and the thick fishy smell ripples with the heat, and soon overflows the entire mountain.

A group of handymen sat in the corner of the shed gossiping, their eyes glancing at the steaming stove from time to time, and the smiles on their faces could not be hidden. Dong Ping took Xizi into the shed for a while, and everyone quickly got up to salute and say hello, and hurriedly moved to find a clean place to sit down.

Dong Ping didn't want to disturb their rare leisure time, so he turned around and came out under the pretext of going to salute Aunt Cao.

Aunt Cao was pulling the stupid pillar and saying that he had lost weight, and inevitably complained that Mrs. Cao favored one over the other, and disregarded her son's safety for her daughter's treatment. The old lady's words reminded Dong Rong that Second Sister Cao is at a very lively age, and she is always at home on weekdays, if she can be called over to join in the fun, the little girl will definitely be happy.

But as soon as she thought of Mrs. Cao, who had a nose and vertical eyes, Dong Rong stopped thinking about it again. It's rare for everyone to get together and drink a bowl of mutton soup happily, so don't find yourself unhappy.

Aunt Cao's Xu also thought of it a little, and secretly patted Dong Rong's hand, signaling that she understood. Dong Rong's heart warmed, and she smiled and shouted to Silly Zhu to rummage through the leaf cards that she bought from the city a few days ago.

Aunt Cao is a good player at playing leaf cards, but unfortunately she is busy on weekdays and rarely has the opportunity to play two, today it is rare to be idle and happy, so she took her nephew as a helper, and Mrs. Yu took Dong Ping to form a team, and the two sides played "home".

Xizi is young and lively, so she rushed here to see, and she went there to aim, and from time to time she was picked up by Aunt Cao, who lost the card, and relied on him to report the news with the wind. For a while, in the small hut, the laughter and scolding almost lifted the roof, and it was extremely lively.

Dong Rong quietly pushed open the two carved wooden windows, leaned on the windowsill and looked at the green leaves washed by the rain not far away, and slightly curled the corners of her mouth. At any time, as long as there are relatives who really love you by your side, it is the happiest moment. Of course, if you have a good life, it is even more delicious to have food and wine at the party.

The light rain poured down for a long time, and it stopped by noon. The clouds soon cleared, and the sun reappeared, lazily shining on the damp earth everywhere.

The mutton in the big iron pot had been stewed for more than an hour, and Sister-in-law Liu finally lifted the heavy lid of the pot under the expectant eyes of everyone. The pot was originally filled with soup, but now it was only half boiled, and the large pieces of mutton and mutton bones were not looming in the milky white soup, and the finely chopped haggis rolled with the splash, and the thick aroma soon filled the entire grass shed.

Everyone subconsciously raised their noses and sniffed hard, and saliva instantly flooded into a river.

"It smells so good!"

"yes, yes, I haven't eaten mutton in years."

"Sister-in-law Liu, hurry up and put it out, if you delay for a while, the oil slick will not taste good!"

Everyone couldn't bear to be greedy, and urged Sister-in-law Liu while praising them. Sister-in-law Liu glared at everyone in disgust, and scolded with a smile, "What's the hurry!" The owner hasn't eaten yet, so how can any hired worker move the bowl first? I'll bring a pot into the house first, and then I'll give you the soup. ”

Everyone also felt that it was a little excessive, and hehe smiled dryly and stepped aside. Sister-in-law Liu picked a piece of mutton, cut it into thin slices and sprinkled it in a basin, and then fished out two bones and poured a few scoops of thick soup on it. Meihua also prepared chili oil, coriander foam, chopped green onions, soy sauce, salt and vinegar and other things, and the two of them were sent into the house together.

Aunt Cao and Mrs. Yu had already cleaned up the table, and when they saw this, they personally made soup for a few juniors. Dong Rong couldn't drink spicy medicine, so only salt, vinegar and coriander foam were put in the soup bowl. Originally, she still disliked the fishy mutton soup, and pondered how not to hurt the old lady's kindness and pushed the soup bowl out. But when I looked down carefully, I saw that the milky white soup was filled with green coriander leaves, which was very pleasing to the eye. Sniffing gently, the fishy taste was sour, so I barely took a sip. As a result, the hot soup slid down my throat, and the whole stomach seemed to heat up instantly, and the pores of the whole body cheered loudly. Not to mention that it's just after the rain outside, even if you stand naked in the ice and snow, drink such a bowl of mutton soup, and you are no longer afraid of the cold.

Seeing that she was so comfortable and happy, Silly Zhu and Dong Ping both looked at each other and laughed, scooped up a large spoonful of chili oil and put it into their bowls, and the smudged soup was red, which was very dazzling. At the end, I picked up the bowl and sucked it away, and before I could take a few bites, my stomach was full of spicy sweat. Dong Rong was busy looking for a handkerchief, but Aunt Cao smiled and said, "It's best to be born in sweat like this." ”

Sister-in-law Liu also smiled, "Sweat thoroughly before getting wet!" ”

Dong Rong had no choice but to give up when she heard this, and instead instructed Sister-in-law Liu, "Sister-in-law, remember to leave two pieces of mutton, one for your aunt to take back, and the other ... When my sister-in-law returned to the village in the evening, she helped me send it home to honor my father. The rest will be distributed to everyone, it is rare to drink a mutton soup, and the bud cake also allows everyone to let go of their stomachs to eat. ”

"Okay, you can eat with confidence, I'll take care of it outside." Sister-in-law Liu hurriedly went out in response, and the handymen had already brought big bowls and waited by the pot, and finally looked forward to her coming out and laughed and shouted. ZM
