Seeing the squarely drawn tofu pieces, like white jade, the cuckoo said happily: "Eat spicy tofu, minced meat tofu, and stuffed tofu at noon." Well, there are still two crucian carp at home, and then there is a crucian carp mushroom tofu soup. ”

The crowd burst into laughter.

Lin Chun smiled: "Why don't you have a tofu feast." ”

The cuckoo said proudly: "That's not impossible, it's just that the materials are not enough." ”

Ren Sanhe said: "You say, if you want any materials, I'll get them." ”

The cuckoo was embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

She didn't do much last year, but this year she is more and more skilled in cooking, and she is more energetic, searching her intestines and scraping her stomach, copying all the dishes she has eaten in her previous life, although it deviates from the authentic taste, but it is by no means worse than that taste.

She analyzed the reason and felt that her cooking skills were only one aspect, on the other hand, the water in the mountains was good, and the materials grown were good, so it would naturally not be bad. What's more, she cooks every dish with great care, not just casually.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Feng Shi glanced at her and said, "Don't blow your head too much!" ”

The cuckoo thought it was the same, so he didn't argue.

Loaded two large buckets of tofu, Ren Sanhe asked Huang Laoshi to pick it back first.

Huang Laoshi was not polite to him, picked up and left, saying that he would come back after going home and having breakfast.

Lin Chun, Du Juan, and Huang Li hurriedly followed him.

Feng was called into the kitchen by the girl, and he didn't know what to do.

On the way, Du Juan asked Lin Chun why his father scolded him last night.

Lin Chun didn't expect her to hear it, she was a little embarrassed, and she was embarrassed to tell the truth.

However, he couldn't think of anything else to prevaricate, and he had an idea. He said: "It's not that he's stingy. My second brother caught several bamboo rats with his brother the night before. I said give one to your family. My dad scolded me for eating the inside and out......"

This kid is very serious, who made his father famous for being stingy.

The cuckoo was surprised. Suddenly, it was evident that they believed his words.

Lin Datou is stingy on the one hand. On the other hand, this bamboo rat is not as rare as ordinary game. It loves to drill in the ground of the bamboo forest and eat bamboo roots; The cave is also underground, which is extremely difficult to catch, and the fleshy texture is particularly delicate and delicious. So most people get it, and they are very precious, of course, they won't give it away casually like a rabbit.

She persuaded, "This thing is delicious, and my little uncle has also caught it." I've also eaten it several times. You don't always want to give us something you have at home. My family is much better now than it used to be. You have many brothers. In the future, it will cost a lot, so I have to save money to buy belongings and marry daughters-in-law for my brothers. Your father is not really stingy, but he is a little more meticulous in accounting, and he is still a good person. ”

Lin Chun was very happy when she said this, and said with a smile: "Du Juan, you are so good." I hate my dad so much. ”

The cuckoo laughed, "I'm ...... Didn't that mean to tease him? If he is stingy, I will be angry with him. It's really annoying. Can I still be so close to you? ”

Lin Chun actually knows the Tao, but it's just a matter of talking.

He remembered what his father said last night, and then looked at the cuckoo in front of him, and felt more and more that his cousin was not his daughter-in-law who had been waiting for him for 10,000 years.

Who is it?

Several people came to the gate of Huangjiayuan. found Lin Datou inside, standing at the kitchen door talking to Huang Que'er.

Huang Laoshi carried the tofu burden into the kitchen and rested. Then I greeted Lin Datou. Ask him why he is here, so busy at the end of the year. There is still time to hang out, so it is better to help him go to make tofu.

Lin Datou looked at Lin Chun and Du Juan who came side by side behind him. The eyes were full of joy.

He smiled and said, "What a walk!" It's not Xia Sheng yet, and he caught a few bamboo rats that night. I'm thinking of giving you one to eat for the New Year. I don't dare to send it early. This thing has terrible teeth, it can't be closed, and it will gnaw whatever it catches, and I'm afraid it will run away. I saw that I was twenty-seven years old, so I brought it over. You kill it first. It was easy to run when I kept it. ”

As he spoke, he kicked a yellow-furred bamboo rat on the ground.

The bamboo rat was tied up on all four limbs, and it was fat, weighing four or five pounds.

Huang Laoshi's eyes suddenly lit up, rubbed his hands and thanked him again and again, and said, "Then how can you ask for it?" Xia Sheng stayed up all night and caught it. I know it's not easy to catch......"

Lin Datou interrupted him and said, "Hey, let's two of us, what are you doing with those kind words?" Your cuckoo is delicious, and we have less to give? ”

Huang Laoshi smiled when he heard this, and then he didn't shirk anymore.

He looked at the cuckoo with indescribable satisfaction in his heart.

Those who have no sons, only daughters, don't mention holding their breath, who is like him, three daughters, which one is mentioned, the people in the village praise him, and give him a long face.

Seeing this scene, the cuckoo looked at Lin Chun suspiciously.

Could it be that Lin Datou didn't want to disappoint his son, so he finally compromised and bowed to his son, and then personally sent the bamboo rat?

Well, definitely, this big man is very partial to the third son.

Lin Chun's face turned red.

He didn't expect that he had just said that his father was stingy, but he actually sent the bamboo rat. He naturally knew what his father was thinking, this was to curry favor with the Huang family and prepare for the proposal.

He secretly regretted that he forgot to send the bamboo rat to the Huang family yesterday because he was angry, otherwise his father would not have had the opportunity to show his face.

The little boy felt very embarrassed, so he puffed out his cheeks and glared at Lin Datou.

I don't know what to do, I thought he was reluctant to give the bamboo rat to the Huang family.

Lin Datou had a ghost in his heart, and when he saw his son's expression, he was afraid that he would do something bad, so he said something that shouldn't be said, and hurriedly said, "Chun'er is also back?" Let's go home and eat. Your mother fried the balls today, and she was in a hurry to wait for the pot to be used, and just now I asked you to call you home for dinner. ”

Grabbed him by the arm and left.

Du Juan also found that Lin Chun's face was wrong, and hurriedly raised his voice: "Thank you, Uncle Big Head." Lin Chun, your father is really getting more and more generous. ”

This is a hint to him, don't be angry with his father anymore.

Lin Datou was overjoyed when he heard this.

Huang Laoshi sent their father and son all the way to the gate of the courtyard, shouting, "Come and play again during the Chinese New Year!" ”

The cuckoo was amused when he heard it: he lived next door and was so polite.

This is all thanks to the bamboo rats.

The people of the village are simple, and a little favor can immediately shorten the distance between each other. It makes them closer. As for how long this closeness will last, it is difficult to say.

Turn your face. I saw Huang Li holding a box of sesame crisp in his hand, circling around the bamboo rat. smiled and crooked his eyes and said, "Second sister, this bamboo rat, I still want to eat braised food." Also eat stewed bamboo rat soup. Also eat stir-fried bamboo rat meat with green garlic. ”

She pointed to the live bamboo rat struggling on the ground and ordered several dishes in a row.

This was the last time she had eaten.

After eating it once, she will never forget it, so much so that when she sees a live bamboo rat, she immediately thinks of the delicious food of the past.

The cuckoo and the yellow finch laughed and leaned back.

Huang Laoshi happened to turn back, and when he heard the little girl's words, he hurriedly rolled up his sleeves and said, "Dad will kill it immediately." Tell your second sister to do it at noon. ”

The bamboo rats on the ground trembled and struggled more and more. I don't know if I understood the words of the father and daughter, so that sadness came from it.

Huang Que'er hurriedly said: "My mother is back." Let's eat first, and then kill after eating. ”

Huang was honest but not at ease, and said, "Your big-headed uncle said that this thing has a very powerful mouth." It would be a pity if he ran away. I'll kill it first before eating. It doesn't take much time. ”

Huang Li also said crisply: "Kill first!" Kill first! ”

Feng Shi happened to enter the courtyard, holding a clay pot in his hand, and asked, "What are you killing?" ”

Then he saw the bamboo rat on the ground and asked in surprise, "Where did this come from?" ”

The cuckoo told him what had just happened.

Feng Shi smiled: "Our mouths are busy today. ”

There is a reason why the cuckoo heard this. I saw the clay pot in her hand again and asked, "What is the mother holding?" ”

Feng said: "It's braised venison." Your aunt gave it. ”

Huang Que'er asked strangely: "Didn't you share the venison, why did you send it again?" ”

Feng Shi glanced at her and said, "Your aunt is afraid that I will treat your sister badly. She said that she would give you some meat for your father, afraid that I would be reluctant to burn it for you to eat. She wanted to keep it for the guests, so she burned more last night and prepared to bring a bowl to serve it today. Just now the cuckoo sent her jerky. Then she knew that you had made all the meat into jerky. I was afraid that you would not have fresh meat to eat, so I brought it to a pot. ”

Huang Li doesn't care for any reason. She only knew that there were a lot of delicious foods these days, and she really couldn't keep her busy with one mouth. So I jumped up and down with joy.

The cuckoo scolded: "Jump what! Don't put the box in the room yet. There is so much to eat today, no snacks are allowed. Otherwise, it hurts your stomach and you can't eat anything during the New Year, I'll see what you do! ”

Huang Li hurriedly nodded his little head like a chicken pecking rice.

She is experienced, in previous years, during the Chinese New Year, she was gluttonous, although she did not eat a bad stomach, but she was "full", and she couldn't eat anymore, but she lost a lot.

Therefore, she must obediently listen to her second sister this year.

After thinking about it, he took the box and went to the main room.

Here, Huang Que'er took two big bowls out to help her father catch the bamboo rat and kill the rat and bleed.

When the cuckoo heard the bamboo rat's "clucking" teeth grinding and "wah-wah" calls, he didn't dare to look at it, and hurriedly hid in the kitchen.

The Chinese New Year is really full of temptation. In the face of several delicacies, the spiced venison mixed with braised peanuts torn in the morning does not seem to be so attractive.

When he was having breakfast, Du Juan heard Lin Datou next door scolding Lin Chun, what "not angry", "eating inside and out" and so on.

She frowned and thought, what's wrong with this person, scolding his son every day for the New Year?

The bamboo rat was sent by himself, which is regret, so he took out his anger on his son?

What a problem!

Could it be that menopause has arrived?

Although he was puzzled, he couldn't care about it, so he had to go with him.

Since then, he has been even more angry with Lin Datou.

After breakfast, Huang Laoshi and his family went to the back to make tofu.

After a while, Feng Shi came back with a big basket, and it turned out that the dried tofu was pressed. Thin, very tight, already cut into small cubes.

Cuckoo poop and yellow finch boiled spiced dried tofu.

This time, in addition to the home-made sauce, there is also soy sauce provided by my aunt, as well as some flavored seasonings and even sugar.

It's nice to have a wealthy relative!

However, the cuckoo still prefers its own sauce, which tastes fresh.

Can it be fresh, every year in August and September, when the sauce is dried, Ren Sanhe has to look for that kind of prawns all over the valley. It's not that you can find it all back, and when you can't find it, you replace it with a smaller shrimp, and the sauce you make tastes the same.

Chapter 112: When Will I Grow Up?

In the courtyard of the Huang family, there is a warm life scene.

Huang Li shouted Dongsheng next door, and the two kicked the shuttlecock.

The childish crisp laughter spread far and wide. The big dog of the Huang family stood aside and watched, not even afraid of chickens. Squatting under the wall and looking at the two little babies.

In the kitchen, the cuckoo and the yellow finch are working together to cook dried tofu.

After soy sauce, sugar, bay leaves and other ingredients go down. The cuckoo brought a clean white cotton cloth and scooped four or five spoonfuls of his own sauce on it.

Huang Que'er hurriedly asked, "What is this?" ”

Du Juan explained: "The sauce is so mushy, just pour it into the pot, and the dried tofu will be slimy and not refreshing." Wrap it in a cotton cloth, dip it in water, and squeeze out the sauce. It borrows the flavor, but it will not be full of dregs. ”

Huang Que'er suddenly realized, looking at her sister with admiration on her face.

The cuckoo took the opportunity to teach: "This is not a university question. I didn't know what to do. But cooking is also good. It's okay to do anything else, learn the basics, and the rest is up to you. People who are willing to use their brains to think and do with their hearts will naturally do better than others; People who don't like to use their brains and are afraid of trouble will definitely not be able to do well. ”

Huang Que nodded repeatedly.

She was nurtured by her younger sister, and her work habits and ways of doing things were well cultivated.

The cuckoo asked, "Do you want to bring a little spicy?" ”

Huang Que hesitated. said: "Still don't let go." If you want to eat spicy, when it is cooked, you can eat it with spicy sauce and dip it. If it's all cooked to spicy, you can't change it. ”

The cuckoo listened to her.

Wrap the cotton cloth into a pimple. Thrown into the cauldron, clapped his hands and smiled: "Okay." Bring the water to a boil and simmer. Come back every once in a while and stuff a handful of thatch. Simmer over such a low heat. In the afternoon, you'll be ready to taste. ”

Huang Que'er smiled: "Just be patient." ”

I'm talking and laughing. I heard the yellow oriole outside shouting, "Brother Chunsheng." What are you doing again? ”

The cuckoo laughed and said, "This girl! "Busy out of the kitchen.

Chunsheng said: "Come and call your sister to go to the fish." ”

The cuckoo continued: "Net fish? Where to? ”

Huang Li stopped kicking the shuttlecock anymore and hurriedly followed. "I'm going too," he shouted. ”

Dongsheng even pulled Lin Chun's sleeve and shouted, "Third brother, take me there." ”

Lin Chun comforted his younger brother before explaining to Du Juan: "Go to the mountains." My second brother was quarrying when they saw a small pond with fish in it. We're going to fish, and Sister Shuixiu also said to go. I'm calling you. Are you going or not? ”

The eyes were shining, and it was expected that the cuckoo would go.

It turns out that the people of Quanshui Village rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, but when it comes to the New Year, they also want to get some fish, which means "there are fish every year".

However, there are many springs in the village, but there are no two ponds. If you want to eat fish, you can only fish from the river. During the dry season in winter, there are few fish. So, people look for it in the mountains. When they saw that there were small ponds and pools in the valley, they cast their nets or dried them up and caught some fish to eat.

The cuckoo's heart moved, and he immediately agreed.

"Wait a minute, I'll go talk to my mother."

After speaking, he ran to his aunt's house.

When he got there, as soon as he told Feng Shi about it, Feng's brows furrowed.

The cuckoo rushed before she could open her mouth and said, "Mother, our girl in the mountain, if you can go up the mountain, you can go into the water; Able to cook and do laundry; Can grow vegetables, can raise chickens...... In short, you must be able to do things outside the home, so that you will not suffer losses in the future. ”

A few people laughed when he said this.

Feng Shi glanced at her and said, "If you want to play, just say it." . ”

The cuckoo smiled: "It's not just playing, isn't it fishing?" He leaned closer to her and whispered, "We are small now, and it is nothing to get out." After two years of age, it will be difficult to go out with Brother Qiusheng and them. ”

Feng Shi saw her so well-behaved, and when he thought of it again, his heart softened.

Just as he was about to nod, Huang Laoshi shouted over there: "Sparrow mother, let the cuckoo go." It's okay to go out with Lin Chun and them. Du Juan, will you Brother Qiusheng and Brother Fusheng go too? The latter sentence was asked to the cuckoo.

The cuckoo hurriedly replied, "Oh, go too." and Brother Xia Sheng. ”

Huang Laoshi immediately said: "Then I'm not afraid." Go ahead, we'll be ready to go, and we'll go home right away. ”

Feng Shi was actually happy in his heart, but when he saw Huang Laoshi's appearance of obeying his daughter's orders, he was not angry, and said angrily: "Look at you, you are used to them!" ”

Seeing that he had said it, the cuckoo smiled and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, Ren Sanhe said: "Where is it?" Tell me. You go first, I'll get this tofu ready, and I'll go to you." I can still get some fish. ”

Hearing that Ren Sanhe was also going, Feng Shi was more relieved, so he said, "Sister-in-law, let's go with them." What are you waiting for. I did the rest of the work with her father and aunt. ”

Huang nodded busily.

Feng Mingying also looked at Ren Sanhe gently. Tell him to just go.

Ren Sanhe smiled at her and said, "Then I'll go." "He left his work and went into the house to change his clothes.

Feng Shi took advantage of the time to tell the cuckoo: "Be careful. Follow the big guys. Don't run around alone. There are wolves in the mountains. It's cold outside, so wear a hat and gloves. ”

The cuckoo agreed repeatedly, anxious to go back and change his clothes.

Who knew that Lin Chun also came over with Dongsheng and Huang Li.

Huang Li shouted "Dad" and rushed towards Huang Laoshi.

When the cuckoo saw the momentum, she understood her thoughts, so she exclaimed, "Huang Li, I solemnly remind you: you are only five years old! When I was your age, I didn't even dare to go to the side of the mountain. Not to mention going up the mountain. If you want to make trouble today, don't think about the second sister telling you stories in the future, not taking you to play, not helping you make beautiful clothes, and not cooking delicious dishes or delicious snacks for you to eat. ”

A series of threats shook Huang Li.

She stopped, her eyes rolling, carefully weighing the gains and losses.

What I didn't say, the words of the second sister can't be disobeyed. That's too much loss!

She smiled flatteringly at the cuckoo, "I'm not going." The eldest sister and the second sister will go, and I will help you watch the fire at home. In the evening, I cooked with my mother, and waited for the eldest sister and the second sister to come back to eat. ”

Du Juan nodded with satisfaction and said, "You play at home with Dongsheng." When the second sister comes back, I will make delicious fish for you to eat. Big fish boiled tofu. The small fish is wrapped in flour and fried, so it is fragrant; Cook another sweet and sour fish, and then another sauerkraut fish. Another steamed fish! ”

Huang Li smiled when he heard this, and nodded again and again.

The cuckoo breathed a sigh of relief.

didn't wait for her to turn around and talk to Lin Chun. I heard Huang Li crying aggrievedly and said to Huang honestly: "Dad, when will I grow up?" How am I still five years old? ”

The cuckoo burst out laughing. I was speechless and watched the little girl pounce on the lap of her honest father and coquettish her - she had to find her honest father to rub it, and no one else could afford to provoke her, and it didn't work.

Feng Shi and Feng Mingying couldn't help laughing.

The honest father saw that the little girl had a bitter face, although he didn't cry, it was enough for him, so he hurriedly hugged her in his arms and coaxed: "Don't worry about the girl, it's so fast." If you eat more every day, you will grow up easily. ”

Huang Li said bitterly: "My days have passed, many days have passed, and I am still so young!" ”

The cuckoo smiled and bent over his stomach.

Partial Winter Sheng added fuel to the fire next to him and said, "Huang Li, you want to eat more." You're much shorter than I am. Look at me, you're so tall, you're just that tall......"

Lin Chun hurriedly drank this kid.

Huang Li was already so angry that she shed tears.

The cuckoo explained the reason that men and women have different physiques, so that the little girl is no longer sad. He also coaxed them to go home to write and kick the shuttlecock, saying that regular exercise can also increase their height.

It was easy to appease the two little ones, and Ren Sanhe also came out with a bow and arrow.

The cuckoo went home and called Huang Que'er, saying that he had already told his father and mother and asked her to go too.

Huang Que'er was very happy to hear this, and immediately changed clothes with her sister, and looked for baskets and other things.

As soon as he was ready, a cry came from outside, "Sparrow, cuckoo, are you alright?" ”

It was Xia Sheng and Lin Chun who came in and called them sisters.

"That's it!" Huang Que'er replied in a loud voice, her face a little red.

The cuckoo hurriedly pulled her out of the house, and while greeting their brothers, she locked the door and sent the key to the back to give it to her mother.

After meeting with everyone, I found that Fusheng, Shuixiu and others were there, carrying nets and buckets and other guys. There were only two strange teenagers who had never seen them, and Xia Sheng said that they were his senior brother Shiqiao and Shiban.

Let's say that in front of her, Shui Xiu, who has grown into a big girl, was very happy to see the Huang Que'er sisters, stepped forward to pull them, and whispered: "I have been grinding with my mother for a long time." It was my brother who helped me speak, and my mother let me out. ”

Huang Que'er glanced at the cuckoo and whispered, "Me too." It was my sister who told my mother, or I wouldn't have been able to come out. ”

Shui Xiu pinched the cuckoo's nose and said jealously: "You are the most likable, you can do whatever you want, and the adults are indulged in you." ”

Du Juan shook his head and protested: "Sister Shuixiu's words are not fair! You're older, aren't you? When the girl is older, she should stay at home. If you want to talk about the people of your mother-in-law's family, you still walk around, what do you look like! ”

Shui Xiu was stunned for a moment, then jumped to her feet, laughing and trying to hit her.

The cuckoo had expected this, and after saying that, he ran ahead with a smile.

Ren Sanhe waved his hand and said, "Go!" Xia Sheng, where you are looking for, you walk in front and lead the way for everyone. ”

Xia Sheng hurriedly agreed, and walked to the northwest.

Everyone followed.

Today's weather is very good, and the winter sun is shining warmly on the mountains, rivers and fields, almost making people smell the breath of spring.

Among the group, except for Ren Sanhe, the rest are young men and women, and they are all relatives, so they are particularly close to the deed. Talking and laughing all the way, in the blink of an eye, I went up to a mountain peak, leaving Quanshui Village far behind.

Halfway up the mountain, I looked back at the place behind me, and saw that in the valley surrounded by mountains, the ancient village by the mountain had become a small cluster, and the houses were faintly exposed.

Two jade ribbon-like flowing waters, like spiritual snakes, swam in the fields of Qianmo.

One turned from behind the mountain peak at its feet and went straight to the depths of the ancient village; One emerges from the mountain in front of it, bends southward, and flows into the mountain around the ancient village.

The cuckoo looked at this scene from afar, with an open and bright heart.

There are three flower-like girls following, and the teenagers are also very enthusiastic.

Xia Sheng's senior brother Slate and Ishiqiao were the first time they saw Cuckoo and Yellow Finch. When the two saw Huang Que'er, they were already blushing and restrained, and when they looked at the cuckoo again, they felt dazzled, and they didn't dare to look directly, and the girl only smiled.

Xia Sheng saw that they were always aiming at the Huang family sisters, and shouted unceremoniously: "Hey, where are you looking?" Is there a girl like you, staring at other people's girls? ”

The two teenagers suddenly blushed.
