"What nonsense?"

With the sound came the smiling cuckoo.

Huang Yuan turned his head and looked her up and down.

The cuckoo looked at him and said, "What do you think I'm doing?" ”

Huang Yuan smiled, coughed, and said, "It's nothing." Bamboo rat meat at night? Do you dare to kill rats and eat them? ”

The cuckoo smiled: "You haven't seen a bamboo rat?" This is really strange, you were originally in the Yang family, and his family was so rich that he hadn't even eaten a bamboo rat? ”

Huang Yuanlao replied honestly: "I haven't eaten it." I've never heard of it. ”

Huang Que'er said: "There is no such thing outside the mountain. I heard Brother Xia Sheng say that last time Sister Shuixiu came back and brought one back to her mother-in-law's house, they were all so strange. ”

He also told Huang Yuan what kind of animal this bamboo rat was.

The sisters and brothers started picking lentils along the fence wall, laughing and laughing.

I was busy, and I heard someone at the gate of the courtyard calling, "Huang Li, Dad is back." ”

When Huang Li heard this, he hurriedly stuffed the basket to the eldest sister, and rushed over to greet the honest father, "Dad, you're back!" Can you hit the chestnut? Did you pick a hawthorn? Ouch, a lot of fungi! ”

Huang Laoshi removed the basket from his shoulder, and Huang Li looked at it while shouting.

When the cuckoo saw that his father was back, he threw the freshly picked lentils in his hand into the basket, clapped his hands and said, "Dad is back, I'll go below." Hurry up and pick it, and the meal will start right away. ”

After saying that, he turned around and ran quickly to the kitchen.

Huang Yuan and Huang Que'er really sped up their movements.

Because there was a pumpkin planted under the root of the wall, he stuck his feet in the vines, and from time to time he touched a pumpkin and kicked it to shake. However, once Huang Yuan seemed to have kicked a boulder. The thread remained untouched. He leaned over and brushed away the pumpkin leaves, and cried out, "So big! ”

It was a giant pumpkin. It's the size of a basin, and I don't know how many dozen catties.

Huang Que glanced at it casually. Not surprised, he smiled: "This big one, we deliberately kept it." There are several of them. When the elders are old, they will pick it up and put it away, and it will not be easy to spoil. Make pumpkin pie and eat it in winter. Surely you haven't eaten pumpkin pie, it's sweet and soft. ”

Huang Yuan straightened up and laughed.

When their siblings finished picking the lentils on the courtyard wall, Feng and Huang Li also moved the tables and chairs to the courtyard, and the cuckoo greeted him for dinner.

At this time. As the twilight deepened, you could still see smoke curling in the center of the village, and a few more families calling for their children and daughters to eat; The chickens wander around, but they refuse to enter the cage; The yellow dog also scurried about excitedly; On the village road, the farmers who returned late met and stood and talked according to each other.

Huang Yuan washed his hands, walked to the table, sat next to his honest father, and asked in his mouth, "What kind of good food?" But his eyes swept to the table. I saw a big thick bowl in front of each person. The bowl is full of somen noodles. There are three dishes and one soup on the table: a bowl of red dried shrimp boiled meat sauce; a bowl of fried three shreds - shredded lentils, shredded red pepper and shredded ham and meat; There is also a bowl of roasted mountain mushrooms with meat, the mushrooms are all burned, and the appearance is not as good as the first two dishes; There is also a large casserole with a bright broth and a fragrant aroma.

Huang Laoshi smiled and said, "This sauce noodles are the best." ”

Pick up the wooden spoon on the other hand. Scoop a large spoonful of the sauce, place it in a bowl, and stir it with chopsticks. On the one hand, he asked Huang Yuan to learn from him.

Huang Yuan tasted all three bowls of dishes one by one.

Huang Li stared at him and asked, "Which one is the best?" ”

Huang Yuan nodded and smiled: "It's all good." In my opinion, mushrooms are not good-looking. The taste is the most delicious, fresher than what I have eaten before; This shrimp paste and lentils are spicy and delicious. Suitable for noodles; Is this soup ......?"

Du Juan had already filled a bowl of soup for everyone, put it at hand, and explained: "This fungus was just picked up by my father, and I put some bamboo rat meat in it, do you think it is not fresh?" No matter what it is, eating it freshly is the best way to preserve the umami. ”

Huang Yuan nodded with a smile, lowered his head and took a sip of soup, his eyes lit up, and said, "It's really good soup!" This is the bamboo rat? It's strange that you are so rare. Oops, it's a delicious delicacy in the world! Life is like this, what more can a husband ask for? ”

Huang Laoshi and Feng Shi were stunned, and Sister Du Juan laughed out loud.

At the moment, the family sits around a table and eats in the twilight.

Huang Yuan ate a big bowl of noodles and drank a big bowl of broth, and his head was sweating after eating, Feng Shi couldn't help but help him carry mountain mushrooms, just because he praised "delicious", and asked Du Juan to help him serve soup again.

Huang Yuan hurriedly waved his hand and said, I can't eat anymore.

He saw that his honest father had already added the third bowl, and he still didn't look full, so he hurriedly persuaded: "Dad, eat less at night." I'll sleep later, and it's not easy to restrain if I'm too full. ”

Du Juan smiled: "Don't persuade me, my father has a lot of food." Besides, he will have to take care of the cows and donkeys later, and after bathing, he will go out for a walk, and talk to the big uncles. ”

Huang Yuan is just that.

For a while, the Lin family next door also set up a meal, and Lin Datou asked in a loud voice, "Yuan'er, is the bamboo rat meat delicious?" ”

Huang Yuan hurriedly replied in a loud voice: "Very good." Thank you, Uncle Big. ”

The two families laughed across the courtyard wall.

Suddenly, Fang Xing'er walked in, said hello and sat down, took out a pair of single cloth shoes, and said that she took the time to make them for Huang Yuan in her spare time, thanking him for taking care of her cousins.

Feng Shi hurriedly thanked him, took it and watched it carefully in front of his eyes.

While complimenting, he asked, "What have you done these days?" ”

Fang Xing'er nodded, and modestly said that the needlework was not good, which made her cousin laugh.

Feng Shi hurriedly said, "Where is it, at your age, you make a pair of shoes in a few days, and the stitches are still so even, when I was young, I couldn't even catch up with half of you." ”

Huang Que also said yes when he saw it.

Fang Xing'er smiled and said that it was good not to dislike it, she was only here to help the babies wash and cook, and there was nothing else to do, she was idle, and she was idle, doing some needlework to thank her cousin, that was not what it should be. She also said that she was making a pair of cotton shoes again, which was also her cousin's.

Huang Yuan was teaching Huang Li to play the piano, and when he heard this, he felt uncomfortable again, so he said, "Let my cousin bother, my brother has thanked me here." I have a lot of shoes, which were made by my mother and second sister when they were in Fucheng, and I haven't worn them yet. My cousin really has a heart, so I will help my grandparents do it, and the old man will definitely be happy. ”

Fang Xing'er hurriedly agreed, and when the pair on her hand was done, she would make it for her aunt and grandmother.

Huang Yuan stopped talking, but thought that the matter of the cuckoo could not be delayed any longer......

Because the Mid-Autumn Festival has arrived. Huang's family room and the second room agreed: this year will have a good reunion, and celebrate the holiday at Huang's house on the 15th night. On the evening of the sixteenth, they were reunited at Huang Laoer's house.

Sister Cuckoo had begun to prepare a few days earlier, and had cooked a large table of dishes on the night of the fifteenth. He also grinded glutinous rice, made glutinous rice balls, and brewed sweet rice wine, and even moon cakes were not lacking, which Ren Sanhe bought from outside the mountain.

In the hall, the three generations of young and old, regardless of men and women, were crowded at a table: Huang Xiaobao and Huang Yuan sat next to Huang's father, followed by Xiaoshun and Huang Li, then Du Juan and Huang Que'er, and then Feng's family, Huang Laoshi, Huang Lao'er, and Feng Gu. and turned to Aunt Huang and Father Huang.

There are not many rules, and the family is happy to smile and let go of eating and drinking.

Xiaoshun ate a circle, didn't see the rice balls, and asked, "Where are the rice balls?" ”

He was involved in grinding glutinous rice, because he asked.

Huang Li said: "There are so many dishes, eat the rice balls first, can you still eat the dishes?" ”

Xiao Shun said: "There are so many dishes, when you have eaten them, can you still eat glutinous rice balls?" ”

Huang Xiaobao said: "Stupid! You don't know how to keep your mouth shut. Save some stomach for the dumplings later? You can't eat it anymore, of course. ”

Everyone laughed and was full of joy.

Brother Huang Yuan couldn't help the two old ones pour wine, and accompanied them to tell them some interesting stories about the South China Sea and the North of the World; The cuckoo sisters also often stood up to help the second elder carry vegetables. and explained how this dish was cooked, Father Huang and Aunt Huang were respected by their children and grandchildren, and they were very happy.

Feng Gu smiled at Feng and said, "Sister-in-law is blessed. didn't have to do it themselves, a few girls cooked such a big table of dishes. ”

If it was before. Feng only took this as a mockery that she would only give birth to a girl; But now it's different, she has a son. Therefore, he calmly accepted the compliment of his brother-in-law.

She said modestly: "I am very coarse, and none of their sisters are like mine." ”

Du Juan was always thinking about finding an opportunity for Feng to disclose the inside story, saying that she was not the biological daughter of the Huang family. At this time, after listening to Feng's words, he hurriedly said, "Look at what my mother said! Growing up, everyone said that I was not born to my father, not like the daughter of the Huang family, and I didn't look like my younger brother at all. Forget what others say, my mother says the same! ”

Feng's expression froze, and his hand suddenly trembled.

Huang Yuan's eyes flashed and he looked at Feng.

Feng Shi was encouraged by his son, took a deep breath, and tried his best to say in a flat voice: "You are not your mother's daughter, you are...... It was picked up by my mother from the mountain. ”

After finishing with difficulty, the others didn't do anything, and Huang Li laughed loudly first.

When she was a child, her mother often teased her with these words, but now she is teasing her second sister.

However, she couldn't laugh anymore after half laughing, and suddenly felt that something was wrong: her mother's expression was very solemn and wrong; looked at the grandparents and others, and they all looked at their mothers in a daze; The second sister especially reacted loudly, and she didn't think it was a joke at all, so she stood up.

The cuckoo was in a stirring mood: Is the mother determined to speak out?

No matter what, she has to push it and make it public completely.

She stood up, stared at Feng Shi and asked, "Mother is serious?" I'm really not the daughter of the Huang family? So where did I come from? ”

Feng Shi opened his head, he was no longer afraid, he also stood up, bowed his head to his in-laws and said, "Father, mother, daughter-in-law is not filial, and she has hidden this from you for so many years. However, my daughter-in-law couldn't do it, and I lost Yuan'er that year, and I went crazy......"

She told her the situation again according to what Huang Yuan taught her.

Not only that, but she also went into the back room and took out the bag of the cuckoo to show everyone, with the original conditions of the Huang family, it was impossible to have such a material cloth.

Daddy Huang and the others were stupid.

Eat, of course, you can't eat it; said, but did not know what to say.

However, despite their amazement, the crowd did not doubt it at all.

As Du Juan just said: From childhood to adulthood, I don't know how many people say that she is not like the daughter of the Huang family, and even Aunt Huang herself has doubts. Not only because the cuckoo is not like a peasant girl, but also because she has no resemblance to Huang Laoshi and his wife. Like Huang Yuan, although he looks like a scholar, but his appearance is there, no one doubts that he is not the son of the Huang family.

The room was silent, except for the crackling of the lights and the sound of cats and dogs fighting over a bone under the table. (To be continued......)
