"What to do? Fishy. Li Man took a step back and stared at his wet hand with disgust.

Li Yan curled the corners of his lips and stared at her with a wicked smile, "Yo, you dislike it so soon?" Who bit so hard last night? I can't pull it out. ”

"You?" Li Man's face was red and his neck was thick, he didn't shout a word with his small mouth open, he turned his face, and went to the pot to fiddle with the dishes, he had nothing to say to this hooligan.

Li Yan smiled slightly and put the fish on the cutting board, "How do you get it?" While using a kitchen knife to pick up the belly of the fish to show her, "I scraped it clean according to your instructions, and the gills of the fish have been washed several times." ”

Li Man squinted at it, it was indeed clean, and snorted sullenly, "Put the fish here, the rice is in the pot, you cook it first, and then burn the other pot later, I'm good at stir-frying." Look"

"Okay." Li Yan said, just lowered his head, kissed her the ear, and said with a smile, "Fool, your face is as if it's going to burn." ”

Li Man wiped the back of his ears with the back of his fingers and glared at him, "Burn the fire." ”

Li Yan grinned, leaned closer to her ear, and whispered in a low voice, "I like you like this." Jin"

"Don't go yet." His scorching breath sprayed on her neck, making her itchy all over, and the angry Li Man reached out to beat him.

Li Yan really let her beat it, and then walked to the stove with satisfaction, lit a fire and cooked first.

Li Man's face was flushed, and it was easy to calm down the emotions that he had provoked, put the fish into a clean plate first, and then took out the washed beans and cut them into sections.

"Let's also burn the other pot, I'll fry the beans."

"Hmm." Li Yan responded, and quickly burned the other pot, because he could also cook, so the heat was very well controlled.

Immediately, the cauldron burned red, Li Man poured some oil, and then poured the beans and two green chili peppers into the pot together, and stir-fried repeatedly.

The smell of food suddenly filled the kitchen.

Under the stove, Li Yan listened to the sound of the spatula touching the pot, smelled the fragrance of the vegetables, and felt endless warmth and emotion in his heart.

How many years has it been since a woman has been in this kitchen? It's been a lot of years since I've had such fireworks, and it seems that since my mother died, this place has become much more deserted.

After a while, Li Shu came in when he smelled the smell, "Daughter-in-law, what is delicious to cook?" It's so fragrant. ”

Li Man just fried the beans and put them on a clean plate, then handed them to him, "Bring them to the table." ”

"Hmm." Li Shu took it, looked at the green color, couldn't help but be greedy, and involuntarily took a bean and put it in his mouth with two fingers.

It just so happened that this scene was seen by Li Mo and the others who had just come in.

Xiao Wuyi frowned, and instinctively shouted, "The third brother eats secretly." ”

Li Hua pursed his lips and smiled, not caring much about the third brother's move.

However, Li Mo's face sank slightly, "Third brother, have you washed your hands?" ”

The rule of the daughter-in-law is that she must wash her hands before and after eating, and if she breaks the rules, she will be very uncomfortable, he can see.

"I've washed it, I've washed it twice, I don't believe it." Li Shu put the dishes away and stretched out his hands to show Li Mo.

Don't say, Li Shu, who is usually used to rough work, is really particular about it now, don't look at the thick and strong fingers, the nails are very neat, there is no mud in the nails, and there is a stream of moisture on the back of the palms and hands, and it can be seen that it has really been scrubbed with heart.

You can't eat the vegetables with your hands, it's not the past, now they are all people with daughters-in-law, it's time to pay attention to it.

Li Shu shrugged, looking indifferent, but he still took the chopsticks.

Li Yan poked his head out from the bottom of the pot, "I haven't started the meal yet, don't eat it secretly, besides, tonight's meal is specially made by my daughter-in-law for the fourth brother, he doesn't have chopsticks yet, are you embarrassed to eat first?" ”

"Oh." Li Shu scratched his head, put down his chopsticks, and nodded with a smile, "Yes, wait for the fourth brother to eat first." Fourth brother, have you been suffering outside these days? ”

Li Hua smiled slightly, his eyes were full of tenderness, and he couldn't help but fall on Li Man's busy back.

She's so busy, so attentive, it's for him.

Li Man was frying the vegetables, and when she heard this, the spatula in her hand paused, and then continued to fry as if she hadn't heard it.

The cucumber is cold dressed, no need to put it in the pot, wait for the vegetables to be fried, and then brush the pot to make braised fish.

It's just that the moment she turned back to take the fish, she saw the four brothers sitting firmly on the big table, and the eyes were all looking towards her, her hands trembled, and a fish almost slipped off.

"Be careful." Four voices in unison, provoked Li Yan poked his head out curiously, and also looked at Li Man, "What's wrong?" ”

Li Man hurriedly grabbed the fish, put it on the cutting board, and made two small cuts on the back of the fish with a knife, so that it was convenient to taste.

However, after doing these actions, she was depressed, did they have to keep staring at her cooking?

Turning around, she smiled slightly, and said in a gentle tone as much as possible, "This fish still needs to be burned for a while, you go to the East House and sit down first, there is a lot of smoke here." ”

"It's out of the way." Li Shu stared at her with a smile, only to feel that the daughter-in-law when cooking was more sultry and feminine.

Li Mo also said, "It's the same when we talk here, so we won't run at both ends." ”

How much distance can there be? Still running at both ends? Li Man's head was full of black lines, "Then you guys chat." "Don't look at her, she feels uncomfortable, as if she is being watched.

"Man'er, the pot is hot." Li Hua heard the cauldron sizzling and kindly reminded him.

"Oh." Li Man saw that the bottom of the cauldron was burning red, and it seemed that he could reveal the fire, and said busily, "Li Yan, the fire is smaller." While hurriedly pouring oil into the bottom of the pot, as soon as the oil entered the pot, there was a sound and it was immediately hot, Li Man took the opportunity to put the fish in, just wait for the side to be browned, and then change the side.

At the big table, the four brothers had smiles on their faces at the same time, and their daughter-in-law was so capable.

After frying both sides of the fish until it was browned, Li Man added some ingredients, mixed some water, and covered the pot and simmered.

Soon, the smell of fish is mouth-watering.

"Daughter-in-law, it's so fragrant, okay?" Li Shu stretched his neck and looked towards the pot.

"Simmer for a while before the fish tastes, and the soup is delicious." Li Man replied without replying.

Li Shu's 'oh' sound, causing the other brothers to roll their eyes.

The daughter-in-law cooks her own proportions, what is he urging.

Li Shu sat down obediently, Li Man opened the lid of the pot, scooped up the soup with a spatula, and then slowly and evenly charred it on the fish surface, and so on twice, I felt that the taste was almost the same, and then covered the pot and said to Li Yan, "Li Yan, don't add more firewood, and when the fire in the pot hole is burned out, you can serve it out." ”

"Hmm." Li Yan put down the tongs and got up to come out.

Li Man turned his head to look at the four brothers, they were all sitting there waiting in a hurry, right? Holding back a smile in his heart, he also commanded, "Li Shu, why don't you serve the rice first?" ”

Today, because Li Hua came back, this dinner was eaten relatively early, and at this moment, the sun slowly went down, and a fiery sunset on the horizon illuminated the courtyard was red, and the big black was chasing Xiao Huang all over the yard to play and play.

Li Man lit an oil lamp and put it on the table, she knew that it was a ruin to light the lamp at this time, but she couldn't bear it and ate in a dimly lit place.

Therefore, everything else can be done, even in the dark, but when eating, she likes to be bright.

Li Mo put the oil lamp in his hand, for fear of affecting others to eat with vegetables.

Seeing that Li Shu had finished the rice, he went to put out the braised fish, this fish is very large, there is a big silver carp weighing five or six catties, and the pot at home is big, the firewood is prosperous, and the burning is so delicious, otherwise the modern gas stove must score a few times to do it.

When a plate was not served, Li Man cut it off with a spatula, and it took two large plates to put it down, and all of them were brought to the table.

In addition, there was still some sauerkraut fish left at noon, and she washed the oil pan again and prepared to heat it up.

"Daughter-in-law, why don't you come to eat?" Li Shu took the chopsticks and was about to eat, but found that Li Man didn't have a pot, so he hurriedly turned around and shouted.

The others also looked at Li Man.

Li Man washed the pot, poured the sauerkraut fish into the pot, and replied, "I almost forgot, what about the leftover sauerkraut fish, heat it together." ”

"There are already so many dishes, so don't heat them. Ming'er eats the same. Li Shu said.

Li Mo also said, "Yes, there are so many dishes, don't bother." ”

Li Man remembered something, walked to the table, removed a plate of braised fish, and put it in the cupboard.

"Daughter-in-law, what are you doing here?" Li Shuzheng is greedy.

Li Man looked back and smiled, "You haven't touched this plate yet, and it won't be easy to spoil if you put it overnight, and if the dishes are not enough to eat, you will take it out." ”

Li Hua nodded, "Man'er is thoughtful. ”

Li Yan came back from washing his hands outside at this time, and saw that Li Man was still busy by the pot, so he asked, "Do you want to stir-fry?" ”

"The leftovers at noon, it's hot, or tomorrow it's going to be ruined. You can sit down and eat," Li Man said, and as he spoke, he was going to make a fire under the stove by himself.

Li Yan stopped her, "Forget it, you have to fight for a long time, counting on you, you may not get it after the meal is finished." Sit down, I'll come. ”

Saying that, he sat down under the stove, there were still many fires in the pot hole, stuffed a handful of hay into it, and it could burn the plain, Li Yan waited for the hay to burn, and stuffed a few thumb-thick sticks into it, this burn, the fire is not good, and it can be burned for several minutes without being watched.

After doing this, Li Yan clapped his hands directly and sat down at the table, anyway, when the sticks were burned, the sauerkraut fish would have already rolled.

Li Man handed him the rice bowl at hand, "Here." ”

Li Yan took it, smiled softly at her, and put the burnt fish skin in the soup with chopsticks and put it in Li Man's bowl.

Li Hua was slightly stunned, then looked away, put a piece of fish meat in his mouth, and said with a smile, "It's so fragrant." ”

"Right? The dishes made by my daughter-in-law are definitely this, and I dare to say that no one can compare with our goddess. Li Shu gave a thumbs up as he ate.

Li Man felt that he had praised a bit too much, and what she knew was just some home-cooked food, but her hard work was appreciated by others, and this feeling was still very good.

At the end, she smiled and said, "If you like to eat, eat more, there is still it in the cupboard, and I will bring it out later." ”

"Let's keep it for Ming'er, that's enough." Li Mo said, and naturally sandwiched a piece of meat on the back of the fish to Li Man.

In fact, the family has never eaten fish a few times, but he carefully found that Li Man is a picky eater, for example, she doesn't eat fatty meat, or even greasy ones, such as meat buns, she doesn't like to eat chicken skin, and she doesn't want whole chicken legs, so she has to cut the meat on the leg into small pieces, she eats it, eats fish, she doesn't like to eat the meat on the head and belly of the fish, she only likes to eat the burnt skin and the meat on the back of the fish.

Therefore, after Li Yan clamped the fish skin, he naturally clamped the back of the fish.

"You eat too." Li Man looked at the fish and meat piled up in his bowl, Li Mo's chopsticks, and almost gave half of the fish to himself, what else did the others eat?

Moreover, this meal was originally made for Li Hua, so Li Man took a large piece of meat and sent it to Li Hua's bowl, "You haven't eaten much at noon, if you think it's delicious, eat more at night." ”

Li Thrush Yuma was full of happy smiles, "Well, you can eat more too." ”

Naturally, he also took a pair of chopsticks and gave it to Li Man.

Li Yan intercepted it in mid-air and said with a smile, "Fourth brother, the man'er bowl is piled up into a small mountain, and it will also relieve the second brother's hunger." ”

As he spoke, he directly put the fish meat on the chopsticks into his mouth.

Li Man glanced at him fiercely, so much, not to mention, the fish in her bowl was very large, but it was not piled up into a small mountain.

Li Hua's face turned red with embarrassment, and he changed his words, "Second brother, eat more." ”

Li Yan smiled lightly, "Eat everything." ”

Li Mo glanced at his two younger brothers, shook his head helplessly, and ate those vegetarian dishes silently.

Li Man looked at it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart.

She understands very well, it is said that the children of poor families are in charge of the family early, and Li Mo is not only poor, but also the boss of the family, since he was a child, in front of these younger brothers, he naturally took on the responsibility of his parents, maybe it is a bit too much to say that he is both a father and a mother, but he has the same heart as many parents in his bones.

That's delicious, easy to use and fun, everything he thinks is good in his eyes, he will instinctively give it to his younger brothers, even if these things are sufficient, he will consciously cling to his younger brothers first.

It's not that he's born with a noble character, it's more of an instinct.

Li Man didn't say a word, and directly clipped half of the fish head to him.

Li Mo is not a picky eater, even if the coarse bran pickles are in his mouth, as long as he can fill his stomach, so Li Man didn't give him meat, if he sandwiched fish, maybe he would give it to Xiao Wu.

This is naturally mixed with Li Man's little caution, people here think that fish meat is better than fish head, fish head is leftover to throw away, you must not know that fish head is the nutritional essence of the whole fish, she gave him fish head, one so that he can eat openly, and the other can also give him the best nutrition.

Li Mo smiled innocently at her, Li Man glanced at him lightly, and whispered, "Eat quickly." ”

"Hmm." Li Mo saw that his younger brothers were also eating with relish, so he ate happily.

Li Man saw a tenderness welling up in his heart, and when he had almost eaten the fish head, he sandwiched a piece of fish meat and put it in his bowl.

Li Mo took a look, and the four younger brothers all looked at him, and couldn't help but bow their heads in embarrassment, but they were a little flattered and very happy.

Man'er only gave him one food, and Man'er still cared about him very much.

Even if she has a second brother, even if the fourth brother comes back, she still favors him in her heart.

This made him suddenly full of energy, and he ate half a bowl of rice in two bites, saying that the vegetables cooked by Man'er were eaten by the gods in the sky, and it was nothing more than that.

"Eat slowly, it's not easy to digest." Although Li Man said this, his eyes were full of smiles when he saw him eating so happily.

The other brothers couldn't stop laughing, they all laughed at the eldest brother's meal like Da Hei, fast and ruthless, they simply grabbed it after the most reluctance, afraid that it would be gone if they didn't grab it.

Thus, the dinner ended happily with the brothers laughing and laughing.

After dinner, Li Man put a table of fish bones into a broken bowl with a missing mouth, handed it to Li Mo to feed Da Hei, and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen.

Li Yan and other brothers wanted to help, but she didn't let them, as soon as Li Hua came back, he didn't let him work, and when he came, Li Yan's brothers were not the materials to do these jobs, and the vegetable oil tonight was heavy, and the vegetable bowls were greasy, she was afraid that they would not be able to wash them clean.

And she also boiled half a pot of hot water, scrubbed it carefully, and then cleaned it several times before giving up.

After cleaning up, she boiled a large pot of hot water, carried some back to the house to wash, and gave the rest to their brothers.

After washing, she sent the barrel back to the kitchen.

Xiao Wu came to her, "Sister, fourth brother, they are looking for you." ”

"Looking for me?" Li Man was puzzled, basically after dark, she didn't have the habit of entering the East House.

"Sister, come on." Xiao Wuxing grabbed her wrist and dragged her to the east room.

Li Man hesitated and followed, and saw that the brothers were all sitting next to the kang, and seemed to be waiting for her.

At night, entering a room full of men, Li Man's heart thumped, "You have something to do with me?" ”

"Daughter-in-law, come and sit on my side." Li Shu was the first to wave at her.

Li Man didn't see it, found a small stool under the kang and sat down, looked at Li Mo suspiciously, and then fell on Li Hua.

In this house, except for Xiao Wu, these two people are more reliable.

Li Yan pillowed her hands behind her head, leaned comfortably on the kang, and saw her sitting so far away, she snorted, "Sit so far, can we still eat you?" ”

Li Man glanced at him and slandered him, no one else would do it, only him, what can't he do?

Li Hua hurriedly helped her out, and said softly, "Don't be nervous, it's just that you eat too much at night, and the big guy wants to sit and talk together to eliminate food." ”

Such? So what do you want her to do? She didn't eat much, "I'm okay, or you talk, I'll go back-"

"Sit's all sitting, it's still a while?" Li Yan glanced at her and said, "The fourth brother just said that you are very literate, and a few of us think that we will worship you as a teacher in the future and study with you." ”

"Huh?" Li Man looked at Li Hua in surprise.

Li Thrush's heart wrinkled, he didn't say that, right? Moreover, listening to the second brother's tone, he seemed to be a little disgusted that he said Man'er's good?

"Second brother, if you want to study too, you will learn well with Xiao Wu in the future." Li Mo said.

"Oh, okay," Li Yan hooked his lips and chuckled, his gaze fell fixedly on Li Man's face, "Man'er, then I have to learn from you later, it's just that I'm very stupid, it's not as good as the eldest brother and the little five, I don't learn well, don't dislike it." ”

"Huh? Big brother is also learning? As soon as his words fell, Li Shu was surprised, "No, I have to learn, daughter-in-law, you have to teach me too, you can't be partial." ”

Li Man had a headache.

The same is true of Li Hua, but at night Xiao Wu took the little story book he brought back and displayed it there, Li Shu teased him if he could understand it, Xiao Wu said that his sister taught him a lot of words, and now, he is about to catch up with the fourth brother and the like.

Li Mo praised it again, saying that Man'er taught well, seriously, and so on.

He also said in passing, Man'er is well-written, and his knowledge is even greater than he thought, and on a whim, he said the song "Farewell Kangqiao" recited by Xiao Wu, which has a unique style and is a strange work.

Li Yan suggested that it would be better to find Li Man to come over and talk, who knew that the conversation would be like this.

"You have to learn, and I will teach you later." Looking at Li Man's tangled little face, Li Hua hurriedly took the matter to himself.

Li Yan glanced at Li Hua, "The fourth brother still has to take the autumn test in the second half of the year, how can he have time to spend it with us." Just Man'er, I think she teaches the eldest brother and the little five very well, plus me and the third brother, there should be no problem, Man'er, right? ”
