Chapter 268: The Taste of Corn Stalks (Three Watches)
Everyone laughed for a while, and Chen asked out loud, "Zhen'er, why didn't your aunt come back with you?" ”
"Milk, I have to count on my aunt to be busy with things in the house, my father wrote that I was going to come over recently, and I asked my aunt to help clean up the yard, and wait for my father to come and live. So my aunt is a little busy, and I will ask my aunt to come back to see you in two days. Qiao Zhen didn't say anything about Ning Ziyan, she didn't want her family to worry about it.
"Don't worry, I'm just asking, if the house is busy, don't be in a hurry to let your aunt come back, with her to help you, your milk is also relieved, what's the matter, your in-laws are coming? That's going to have to be cleaned up.,How long are you going to live this time.,Can you live until the child eats noodles? "Chen is very happy to know that Zhen Guogong is coming.
"I guess I can't live that long, my father is busy, so I can live for about half a month." Qiaozhen didn't say anything about war, because old people like to be happy.
"Also, he is not as good as our family, our family has nothing to do, how much he has to worry about all day long. Zhen'er, your father-in-law is here, you have to serve him well. You can be filial. Chen explained to his granddaughter.
"Milk, I will." Qiaozhen nodded, she understood.
Grandma Yu said with a smile: "Old sister, don't worry, you don't know that we are really good, we are really good, and we are good to everyone, how can you not be filial to your father-in-law." No one believes it. ”
"Yes, my sister must be filial, and my milk can rest assured." Qiao Hong also answered, she has been standing behind Qiao Zhen, she and Qiao Zhen have the best relationship, looking at the eldest sister's belly, she feels novel, if it weren't for the fact that she is going to get married in the spring next year, she really wants to live in the eldest sister's house, take care of the eldest sister, watch the child be born, and take care of the child.
Qiao Zhen smiled and patted Qiao Hong's hand on her shoulder.
"But really, the grandmother is thinking in her heart, and she doesn't know whether to say it or not." Grandma Yu's words were a little slurred.
"Milk, just say anything, if we have anything to say, you just have to say it." Qiaozhen reassured Grandma Yu and said.
"That's all there is to it. Zhen'er, why does the milk think that you are so pregnant, this belly is like a girl. "Grandma Yu has been observing Qiaozhen's belly. She felt that Qiao Zhen was pregnant with a girl, and she was afraid that it would be wrong for Qiao Zhen to say it. So there was some hesitation.
Qiao Zhen was stunned, Grandma Yu still has this ability? Can you still know if it's a man or a woman? It's based on the old saying that the belly is sharp and the belly is round. There's no ultrasound here, and she really doesn't know if it's a man or a woman.
"Milk, how good a girl is, I like a girl, the girl is good-looking, and she can wear floral clothes, unlike the boy, the boy's skin. I guess if I want to give birth to a boy, I have a headache to death, how good it is to have a girl and I can be together. "Qiaozhen doesn't care about men and women. But the old man must have cared, this topic has been said more than once, and it can be seen that he still can't help but say it.
"My aunt also thinks it's a girl? I think so, and I don't feel bad about it. I can't sleep well when it's dark, so I'm afraid of giving birth to a daughter, and my son-in-law dislikes it. But we can still give birth after we are born, and then we will have another kid. That's good. There's nothing good in my in-laws. Zhou was also worried about this.
Qiao Zhen was speechless, listen to what my mother said, one this year, one next year. Then she doesn't have to do anything, she will only have children in this life.
"Okay, I'll give birth, I'll give birth to two in three years." Qiaozhen was joking, she didn't know at this time that her joke would be a good word.
Everyone was talking and laughing, and it was also lively, and Qiaozhen was in a much better mood. put aside Ning Ziyan's matter.
The boiled corn and the fallen sheng that I ate at noon burned some corn porridge. I ate it with pickles.
Now the corn and the fall are very tender and sweet to eat. Qiao Zhen felt an appetite for her.
Speaking of corn porridge, it is actually very simple, it is to pick a corn and wash it a little. Pick all the corn stalks by hand. Then take a knife and cut it into the pot, slice it into the water in the pot, and stir in the white batter after boiling for a while.
After rolling it a few times, it can be served, and it tastes sweet and silky after drinking, and it has a unique taste.
The rice is very simple, but Qiaozhen eats very fragrant, she can't help but remember the time when she just passed, she wants to sell corn and Luosheng to make some silver, but her father has to hesitate for a long time, for fear that she will spoil the grain, just because it began to sell badly, the sister-in-law is noisy, and her father does not dare to continue to break corn for her, and she feels sorry for the grain.
But now my father has broken a lot at a time, for fear that there will not be enough food at home, so he has to bring it for himself, so that he can eat when he wants to go home, and the difference is really not small this day.
Chen Xuanyu looked at Qiao Zhen with soft eyes, obviously remembering the past.
In the second half of the day, the two went out for a walk, met a lot of people on the way, greeted them with a smile, asked the children in Qiaozhen's belly, and blessed Qiaozhen, Chen Xuanyu and Qiaozhen responded one by one, both of them were in a good mood, although it was not prosperous here, but most people were simple.
The field was full of corn, and the corn grew very tall, and there was a corn cob on it, and the corn cob showed red corn whiskers, and Qiao Zhen smiled.
"Yu, can you help me break a corn stalk?" Qiao Zhen looked at Chen Xuanyu and asked with a smile.
Although Chen Xuanyu didn't understand Qiaozhen's intentions, he still went to the field without saying a word.
He is a kung fu man, and it is not easy to break a corn stalk. All at once.
Qiao Zhen took the corn stalk, picked up the corn leaves on it, and then she folded the corn stalk hard, but it was not broken, Qiao Zhen was speechless, maybe she didn't dare to work hard, afraid of stretching.
Chen Xuanyu helped Qiao Zhen fold it, and then handed it to Qiao Zhen, he didn't understand what Qiao Zhen was going to do.
Qiaozhen took it, looked at the two corn stalks, and then put it to his mouth and took a gentle bite.
"Zhen'er, don't eat it." Chen Xuanyu hurriedly stopped her, he didn't expect Qiaozhen to eat it, what did she do with this? This is not a sweet stalk, that one is sweet and has juice, and this one is a corn stalk. How can you eat it?
Qiao Zhen smiled, the corn stalk did not have the sweet taste she remembered, the juice was very little, with a little bit of sweetness, but there was still some smell, the taste was not good, she was a little disappointed.
"When I was a child, my family was very poor, there was nothing to eat, the sweet pole was not eaten, let alone sugar cane, I had never heard of sugarcane at that time, there was no good thing, only I stepped on the food, and the family went to the field to break corn, my father and mother would cut a few corn stalks, clean them and put them in front of me, they worked, I sat there and ate corn stalks.
I remember when I was a child, I ate very fragrant, I think it was very sweet, it is a rare good thing, I eat two sticks every time, and then I bring back one, and then I go to eat the next day, I still want to eat that taste in the winter time, but unfortunately I can't eat it, and then I got older, I ate sweet stems, I ate sugarcane, and I never ate corn stalks again.
I suddenly remembered it today, and I wanted to taste it, but unfortunately, I couldn't taste that taste anymore, maybe it was because life was better, and now I think it's not uncommon. Qiao Zhen said quietly, she was a little nostalgic for the past, but the past was gone.
Chen Xuanyu listened quietly, he liked to know Qiaozhen's past, and hoped to know everything about her.
He looked at Qiao Zhen's expression, didn't say anything, took the corn stalk in Qiao Zhen's hand and took a bite, the taste was not good, he felt coaxing, he wanted to spit it out, but in the end he swallowed it, such a thing is a rare delicacy for Qiao Zhen in a small time. It's really unimaginable, he can understand why Qiaozhen in that world wants to marry a rich man, she doesn't want to live a hard life, there is nothing wrong with such thoughts, it's just that she is unladylike.
But in this era, everything is really earned by herself, she no longer thinks about getting something for nothing, no longer greedy for vanity, everything depends on her efforts. That's why we have today. She let herself pity herself.
Chen Xuanyu gently hugged Qiao Zhen's shoulder. Neither of them spoke, enjoying the faint warmth.
"Zhen'er, are you a little skin? If we give birth to a girl, we may be like you, did you have a good temperament when you were a child? Chen Xuanyu asked Qiaozhen.
Qiao Zhen's face turned red all of a sudden, she glanced at Chen Xuanyu and said, "No skin." ”
"It's weird." Qiao Zhen added two more words, and Chen Xuanyu smiled.
"Tell me." He was eager to hear her own business.
"Talk about it, you can't laugh." Qiao Zhen sat on the side of the road, leaned on Chen Xuanyu's shoulder and told interesting stories about his childhood.
"I remember that year I seemed to be seven years old, one day I especially wanted to eat canned food, but canned food is very expensive, it is also a rare thing, under normal circumstances, adults are reluctant to buy for children, my father still loves me, see that I am very hungry and led me to the store, the village store is not full of goods, they usually go to buy goods only once they are almost sold out, that day we went to the time store where there are only canned pears.
But I didn't like to eat pears at that time, I liked to eat oranges, so I had to make a fuss about not eating pears, I wanted to eat canned oranges, my father coaxed me for a long time, saying that I would buy pears to eat first, and when the canned oranges arrived, he would take me to buy them, but I didn't do it, I just cried, I had to eat canned oranges, and finally I was rolling on the ground and splashing. No one could scream, and whoever pulled me along, I kicked him with my legs, so that everyone said I wasn't presentable.
In the end, my dad was so angry that he couldn't help but kick me twice. A kick in my leg, a kick in my ass, and as soon as he kicked me, I was fine, stopped crying, and got up from the ground. I followed my dad home.
I didn't eat canned food, let alone oranges, I didn't even eat pears, my father was angry and didn't buy it, and I was beaten, now I think about myself really cheap. You said that you would eat if you had to eat, and you had to do it, but at that time I was a child and didn't understand this. It is according to one's own nature. ”
Qiao Zhen finished telling a story with a smile, although this story does not reflect her naughtiness, it may show her willfulness, she is willing to present her bad side in front of Chen Xuanyu, because she believes that Chen Xuanyu can tolerate her and understand her better.
