Chapter 074: Rampant House Thieves (Three Watches)

Seeing the cuckoo looking at the potato curiously, the big-headed daughter-in-law smiled and said, "Xia Sheng and Chun'er are naughty, put the potato in the stove hole and burn it." The fire was so big that it burned black. So I taught them that when the rice was cooked and the fire was extinguished, I would bury the potato with hot ashes. By the next morning, the potato was fully ripe. Save it like they burn it, like a black charcoal, and eat a black hand. ”

The cuckoo's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Really? Can this be cooked? ”

The big-headed daughter-in-law said, "It can be cooked." This is slowly ripe, and it is still fragrant. ”

Lin Datou said disdainfully: "What's so delicious about burning yams!" Eat net stinky fart. If you really want to eat, wash two and cut them into pieces, and stick them on the side of the pot to steam them when cooking rice, isn't it better than burning? ”

The cuckoo glanced at him and said stubbornly: "You have to eat the burned." ”

I really don't know!

There is one thing in this world that smells better than tastes, and that is roasted sweet potatoes.

Also, children like to do this, and adults can't understand the fun of it.

She saw the eldest daughter-in-law touching her stomach with her hand, and hurriedly asked, "Auntie, has the little brother moved again?" After speaking, he stepped forward curiously and touched it lightly with his hand.

The eldest daughter-in-law is pregnant again, and it is estimated that she will be born at the end of the year.

Qiu Sheng smiled and said, "How do you know it's my brother?" ”

The cuckoo said with confidence: "You four brothers in spring, summer, autumn and winter, there is still one less 'winter', of course you have to give birth to a 'winter birth'." ”

Lin Datou laughed from ear to ear, thinking that this was a good lip color.

He doesn't like to have many sons at all.

Xia Sheng glanced at the eldest brother and third brother with disgust, and corrected: "Give birth to a younger sister!" My sister can also be called Dong'er. ”

Lin Chun looked at the cuckoo and didn't speak, but his dark eyes were shining.

Because. He really wants a sister like Cuckoo's sister.

The big-headed daughter-in-law rubbed the cuckoo's face with her hand and said yearningly: "My aunt also wants to give birth to a girl." This bunch of boys. The noise all day makes my brain hurt. If you can raise a girl as intimate as a cuckoo, then the aunt likes it. ”

Lin Datou glanced at the cuckoo. No squeaks.

He thought to himself, where is this girl's intimacy? He doesn't have a good face for him all day long, and he has a headache.

After a few more jokes with the Lin family, the cuckoo left with the small basket.

Lin Chun finished the bowl of rice in one go, touched a tea egg in his pocket, chased after Du Juan and asked, "Du Juan, come with me to Jiu'er's brother's house to play, okay?" Grandpa is making a big bed, carved flowers. It's beautiful. ”

The cuckoo listened to it. I really wanted to go and see it, but I couldn't leave it at home, so I said, "I'm busy, I can't leave." When my mother is at home one day, I'll go with you. ”

Lin Chun nodded hurriedly.

Now he doesn't follow the cuckoo all day long like he used to.

The boy's vision is naturally spacious, and he and Jiu'er run all over the village, everywhere.

Of course, he called the cuckoo to go every time, but the cuckoo didn't go.

So he went on his own.

If you get something good outside. It's fun, I saw something interesting, and when I came back, I gave it to the cuckoo to eat and give it to her to play. Tell her the interesting story.

Cuckoo thought it was good.

When I got home, breakfast was already on the table. It's still corn paste, but the difference is that there are more tea eggs on the table.

This is the first time that the cuckoo has eaten tea eggs here.

She insisted on not letting Feng and Huang Que'er help her peel the eggshell. Peel it yourself. Break it open and tear off a soft and collapsed egg skin. There is a white lining attached to it.

The egg white color is reddish and crystal smooth. When you take a bite, it is salty, particularly smooth, and exudes the fragrance of tea and bay leaves; The egg yolk is different, it melts in the mouth, and the mouth is full of powdery aroma.

This is the most delicious tea egg that the cuckoo has ever eaten in his two lives combined.

She and Huang Que looked at each other with a smile, but they didn't dare to open their mouths, for fear of revealing the yolk full of teeth.

Both the cuckoo and the yellow finch ate only two eggs.

Huang Laoshi ate four in one go, and after eating again, Feng Shi refused to let him, so he had to drink corn paste regretfully.

After breakfast, when the honest father and mother were gone, the cuckoo and the yellow finch began to get busy.

Huang Que washed the dishes and swept the floor, and the cuckoo used a rag to wipe all the household utensils inside and out, everything that could be obtained, and then smoothed the small east and west, running in and out, without stopping.

Although the Huang family is still shabby, it looks very well organized.

It was busy until mid-morning that the cuckoo took a breath.

She ran to the kitchen and asked Huang Que that the chestnuts were ready.

Huang Que'er stood on the small bench in front of the stove, lifted the lid of the pot, scooped out a chestnut with a bamboo fence, bit it open and tasted it, and said with a smile: "Okay! ”

Tell the cuckoo to bring her little wooden bowl and fill it with a bowl, "Eat it." ”

The cuckoo happily came out with his hand, sat on the small bench at the door, and gnawed on it.

"Sister, you come to eat too. It's delicious. ”

This chestnut is marinated in the soup of boiled tea eggs, and the taste is really salty and fragrant, with a bit of egg flavor.

Huang Que'er said crisply: "I'll come later." ”

She took a higher stool, went to the bottom of the bamboo fork where she was drying her clothes, and stood up to check the small fish and shrimp in the basket hanging from the fork. While using a pair of chopsticks to flip through it, let the small fish dry evenly.

The autumn sun was still quite strong, and she broke out a sweat.

After fiddling with the small fish for a while, Huang Que'er looked up and saw that in the courtyard next door, Xia Sheng was wandering in the yard, so he raised his voice and shouted: "Xia Sheng! ”

Xia Sheng is bored.

There is always someone to watch the house, Qiusheng is older, and he can follow his father and mother to do some chores; Chun'er was still young, so she had to play with him; Only he was unlucky, and he stayed at home all day long, and he was not allowed to go out.

He complained to his mother, because he didn't have to do anything to him, otherwise he would be the most embarrassed.

Born in the middle, food and clothing are the most unlucky: wear the clothes left by the eldest brother, and eat the younger brother first, it's really hard!

was complaining, when I heard a crisp cry "Xia Sheng!" ”

Hurriedly turned his head to see that the yellow finch was standing tall, not knowing what he was doing.

Xia Sheng grinned and said, "Finch, what are you doing?" ”

Huang Que'er said: "Dry fish." ”

Xia Sheng let out an "oh" and only looked at her and smiled.

Suddenly, he remembered something and shouted, "Wait a minute." And he ran back.

Huang Que didn't know what he wanted to do, so he stood still. The cuckoo was stunned. I don't know what my sister has been standing on the stool for, is it standing high and seeing far?

Xia Sheng brought a small bowl of mountain chicken and sent it over. Greet the Huang sisters to eat.

When the farmers are busy, the cooking at noon is in a hurry, and there is no time to make complicated dishes. Therefore, if there is meat, the eldest daughter-in-law always puts the meat in the pot in the morning, and tells Xia Sheng to add a fire to the stove every once in a while. Simmer so slowly, and when you come back at noon, the meat will be rotten. She only needs to fry two vegetables and eat, which is fast and easy.

Although Xia Sheng complained about his miserable life. Got a "messenger" to take care of the house, but it is not without benefits, at least "the building near the water gets the moon first", and he can taste what is delicious first, which is what Qiusheng said "stealing his mouth".

In the morning, the cuckoo sent tea eggs to the Lin family, and when Xia Sheng saw Huang Que'er, he wanted to share some chicken for the two sisters of the Huang family.

He stole all the experience.

A pheasant is not much, if it comes out in a big bowl. When my mother came back, she knew that she was confused, but she couldn't tell it at that time.

So, he used a small bowl.

You can't just use a small bowl to hold it:

The head of the chicken must not be filled, otherwise the chicken will not grow head. The devil believes it.

Chicken feet and wings can not be contained, autumn eyes are the sharpest, if you eat this chicken is missing a foot and wings. If he becomes lame, he is going to say that he has stolen his mouth.

The chicken thighs can't move even more. It was reserved for Chun'er to eat.

He specially served the meat of the chickens, and the neck of the chickens was also a cut.

Hum. Could it be that Qiusheng is still longer than the neck of a chicken?

How big is a chicken breast?

How wide is a chicken's back?

He could have died!

After a small bowl came out, and then visually inspected the pot, he felt that there was no flaw left, so he closed the lid with satisfaction.

Happily brought the chicken to Huang's house, and said to Huang Que'er: "Bird, cuckoo, give you chickens." My uncle gave it. ”

Huang Que'er hesitated a little when she heard this.

The cuckoo was amused, and he didn't know whether to praise him or blame him, so he had to persuade: "Brother Xia Sheng, this is not good." Aunt Lin also gave us something to eat. ”

There is nothing wrong with sending it clearly, if the thief is caught, then it will be impossible to say.

Xia Sheng smiled indifferently: "It's okay." I've got it all done, and I can't see it at all. ”

Unless he restores all the chickens and spells out a whole chicken, he doesn't believe that Qiusheng can find out. As long as Qiusheng doesn't stare at it, even if his father and mother know that he stole his mouth, at most he will scold twice, and it won't be anything.

The cuckoo burst out laughing.

It's already been served, and I didn't send it back. So Huang Que went to the kitchen to find a bowl to free up his bowl for him to take back. Moreover, she also remembered one thing in her heart: she wanted to take a few more tea eggs to Xia Sheng.

At that moment, the three little babies went to the Huang family's kitchen.

Huang Que'er found a bowl with chicken, and took Xia Sheng's bowl to wash.

Xia Sheng said to the cuckoo: "Cuckoo, you eat first." Serve hot. ”

It's best for their sisters to finish this chicken in one go, otherwise they will be scolded if they wait for Aunt Huang to come back, and if they find out, they will be scolded.

The cuckoo was amused and grateful, and he also knew that the "stolen goods" could not be left, so he really stood at the small table with chopsticks and ate them.

Xia Sheng smiled as usual and asked, "Is it delicious?" ”

The cuckoo praised: "It's delicious! ”

It's really delicious!

Aunt Lin's cooking skills are better than Feng's, and besides, the chicken itself is fresh, and she didn't put anything else, so she put some garlic cloves and mushrooms, and the taste was very fresh.

Xia Sheng smiled happily.

Huang Que'er washed the bowl, went to the pot to put a bowl of chestnuts, and took three tea eggs for Xia Sheng.

She is also particular about taking tea eggs: three, which are pulled out of her own share, so that it can be said that she eats it herself, and she will not be told by her mother.

When Du Juan saw it, he hurriedly said, "Take two more to Brother Xia Sheng and bring them to Chunsheng to eat." ”

She also divided her own into two.

Without him, this kid is too cute, and he can't eat other people's things for nothing.

Xia Sheng didn't want it, and grinned: "Finch, it's enough to give two." I've eaten three in the morning. Give it all to me, and you won't have anything to eat. I also have chestnuts at home. ”

Huang Que'er wanted to show off, tilted his head and smiled: "You taste it!" ”

Xia Sheng took a chestnut, bit it open and ate it under the gaze of the yellow finch.

He couldn't wait to swallow it, so he exclaimed, "It smells so good!" How did you get it? ”

Huang Que'er was very happy to hear this, pulled him to the stove, and lifted the lid of the pot for him to see.

Xia Sheng suddenly realized.

He hurriedly returned the eggs to Huang Que'er and said, "Finch, you can keep the eggs and eat them slowly, I'll just eat this chestnut." ”

Chestnuts are available in every family, and they are not a rare thing, and it is okay to hold two bowls.

Huang Que'er stuffed the egg into his pocket and whispered, "Here you go." ”

Xia Sheng couldn't push it, so he took it.

At the moment, the three babies sat around the table, Xia Sheng ate tea eggs, Huang Que and Cuckoo ate chickens, and eliminated the "stolen goods" on the spot.

I was enjoying my meal, when suddenly the kitchen door went dark.

Oh no, someone's coming!

Xia Sheng and Huang Que'er's faces changed color, and they looked at each other, but they didn't dare to turn their heads. (To be continued......)
