Chapter 211: The men blushed

Most of the people in this small fishing village near the sea have the surname Tu, so it has become the old Tu family.

This family is also surnamed Tu, and when the family is very young, it is called Tu Dahai. The old woman who opened the door to Qiu Chen is surnamed Liu, who is Tu Dahai's mother, and only Tu Dahai has one son. On weekdays, as long as the weather is good and the sea is not stormy, Tu Dahai will go to the sea to fish, and Tu Dahai's wife Wang will dig razor clams and clams on the beach, pick up kelp, jellyfish, etc., and only Mrs. Liu will take her little grandson to cook and mend nets.

The arrival of Qiu Chen and his entourage surprised Mrs. Liu very much, and she was slightly restrained, but she let in without losing her simplicity and enthusiasm.

The Tu family has two small earthen houses, Qiu Chen and his party have one or twenty people, and they can't bloom at all, Qiu Chen took Liu's hand and smiled: "Auntie, don't be busy, let's talk in the yard!" ”

"Hey, hey, it's a good ......," he said, Liu let go of Qiu Chen's hand, and entered the room with his back slightly bent, and in a moment he took out a large kettle and three or four coarse black pottery bowls.

Yufeng and Qingxing hurriedly went up to catch the kettle, and Mrs. Liu waved her hand: "How can you ...... this?"

So saying, he put the big kettle on the three black stones under the window, ran to the side of the house, grabbed a large handful of firewood and grass, and began to boil water.

Qingxing understood it, so she took over the work of boiling water. Take a few benches from the carriage and put them in the courtyard, so that Qiu Chen and the others can sit with Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu waved her hand: "Sit, sit, the little grandson is sleeping in the house, and the old woman can't sit still." ”

"Oh, let's sit down at the door." As he spoke, Qiu Chen carried a stool with one hand and helped Mrs. Liu to the door of the house with the other, and sat at the door of the house.

Pan Jiaqing sat on another stool, and the others were all standing aside, including Junyan Junzhang and Afu Aman, the four small ones, bumpy all the way, and finally saw a village, and entered a house, but it was bare and yellow, and there was not even a tree.

The two sat down, and Mrs. Liu asked tentatively: "Dare to ask Madame, what are you doing in this village?" ”

Qiu Chen said with a smile: "My children have never gone out when they are so old, and they have never seen the sea, so I want to bring them over to see and see." ”

"Insight...... Sea? Mrs. Liu was very surprised, and then shook her head and said, "The sea is just more water, the wind and waves are stronger, and there is nothing to look at......"

After a pause, Mrs. Liu shook her head slightly with a deep wrinkle, and sighed: "The sea eats people and doesn't spit out bones, there is no way for us people to live on the sea, no matter how big the wind and waves are, we have to go to the sea, and we have to go to the sea if we can't go back one day...... His father and grandfather have never looked back......"

At this time, there is no weather forecast, no wave forecast, no large motor boats, and the sea is stormy, and the ship's wreckage and dead bones are the fate of the fishermen who go to the sea. Qiu Chen actually knew that fishermen were suffering, but when she really saw it with her own eyes, it was far beyond her imagination.

"If so, wouldn't it be safer to build some big ships?" Qiu Chen asked tentatively.

Mrs. Liu retracted her thoughts, looked straight at Qiu Chen and said, "Big ship? A big boat costs a lot of silver, let's fish every day, but we are full, where is the silver to hit a big boat! Can't afford to fight, can't afford to ......"

Qiu Chen pondered for a moment, then changed the subject with a smile: "Auntie, how many families are there in our village?" ”

"Well, our old Tu family has a total of thirty-seven families, all of which were left by an old ancestor. More than 100 years ago, when the war broke out, the ancestor fled here with his family, survived by the fish and shrimp in the sea, and settled here. ”

Water Nest? Qiu Chen remembered that it was a water pool on Jingnan Road, it was said that it was a water bandit nest in the last years of the previous dynasty, and there were two big leaders in the war that year, occupying two or three county seats, and then it did not become a climate and was dispersed...... Or, the ancestor of this Tujia Village was one of the water bandits at that time?

Speculating wildly, Qiu Chen said with a smile: "So, this village is actually a family!" ”

Mrs. Liu nodded, and shook her head again: "It is said that it is a family, but after so many years, after a few generations, it is far away...... However, it's all good, there is an old patriarch in charge of the clan, and if there is anything, everyone will stretch out their hands together and pass, which is always better than other miscellaneous villages. ”

As he spoke, Qingxing had already boiled the water, and Yufeng scalded a few black pottery thick bowls, took the tea he brought, brewed a few bowls, and sent them over.

Aman was thirsty after sitting in the car all morning, and when he saw tea, he wanted to drink it. Qiu Chen took the bowl and blew it cold, fed it to her, Ah Man put a small mouthful of water into his mouth, and immediately made a bitter face: "Mother, it's not delicious!" ”

Qiu Chen took a sip of himself, indeed, the water on the seaside, even fresh water, was somewhat contaminated with the salty and astringent taste of the seawater, far less clear and sweet than the mountain stream of Liujiaao!

"What, the water isn't right?" Mrs. Liu frowned and asked suspiciously, she took a small sip of the tea bowl, the tea entrance, you can see that she likes it very much, and smacked her lips, and she couldn't stop taking a sip, smacking it carefully, and then smiled, "Madam, this tea is good, it is very fragrant!" Before the old woman got married, she drank it once when she was at her mother's house, well, it wasn't as good as this time! ”

Qiu Chen hugged Aman and said with a smile: "Auntie likes it, I also brought some with me in the car, but I didn't drink much on the road, let them bring it to you later, not much, you can drink it alone for half a year!" ”

"Oh, where is this, I can't do it, I can't make it!" Mrs. Liu waved her hand again and again, and was a little ashamed, "When Mrs. arrives at home, it is rude to ask Mrs. to bring tea by herself, where can I ask Mrs. for tea...... The old woman can't speak, just now I just think the tea is good, I can't help but praise it back, I really don't want Mrs. good tea! ”

Qiu Chen handed Ah Man to Yufeng, gave Yufeng a color, smiled and took Mrs. Liu's hand and said, "Aunt Liu, according to what you say, aren't we people even more rude when we come uninvited?" Hehe, it is said that people should pay attention to fate, you see, our two families are so far apart, I suddenly got up and brought my family and children to run over, a village also found your home, see the old woman, how much fate is this? Since we have this fate, we don't need to say those polite words. I watched the old woman get close, just like the elders in the family...... Besides, you see, this day has reached the top of the head, we rushed all the way, and we are all hungry, since I have said this, I will simply be cheeky and ask my aunt for a meal, I don't know if my aunt can take care of our meal? ”

As Qiu Chen spoke, Yufeng had already taken the two men who were driving the car to carry some things down from the car. There are two pockets of white noodles, two pockets of white rice, a pig's hind leg is more than 20 catties, in addition, there are several baskets of vegetables, eggs and other ingredients, one by one brought in, and a small half yard was placed in a moment.

Mrs. Liu couldn't sit still anymore, stood up, tied her hands and said, "This, this is ...... Madame came from afar, and being able to have a meal at the old woman's place is just for her face, how can she bring so many things......"

Qiu Chen also got up with a smile, stood beside Mrs. Liu and said, "Auntie, as I said just now, I treat my aunt as my own elder, so I won't say those vain words." Look at us people, hula come in, one meal can eat half a month's food of my aunt's family...... Don't be a bad guest, my aunt treats others warmly, we can't just take care of eating for ourselves, no matter if you are hungry or not after leaving...... Auntie doesn't have to be polite to me anymore, I also have some people here, you just point out the stove and let them do it...... Oh, by the way, it would be great if my aunt could cook two of your fishermen's home-cooked dishes and let me and the children try them. Not to mention a few children, even me, I have been thinking about it all the way. ”

Mrs. Liu was successfully diverted from a dry ingredient by Qiu Chen, and said distressedly: "The sea has not come back yet, and there is no fresh goods at home, just some pickled fish, shrimp paste ......"

Qiu Chen didn't wait for her to finish, clapped his hands and said, "Just this pickled fish and shrimp paste are excellent." We are far away from the sea, and it is rare to eat once! ”

Mrs. Liu was slightly relieved by the smile on her face, and was anxious to enter the house, so she walked two steps and came back to call Qiu Chen, and directly led her to see the pickled goods she had stored, and let her choose them by herself.

Here, Mrs. Liu led Qiu Chen to see pickled fish, shrimp paste, choking crabs and other things, but before she had time to look at the pot stove again, the children in the house woke up, cried, and hurriedly went in to coax the children. On Qiu Chen's side, Yufeng and Qingxing were the mainstays, Junwen Junshu, Qin Li, Qin Yong and others also rolled up their sleeves to help, and began to prepare lunch by themselves.

Qiu Chen took Afu Aman into the house, the low house only had a very small window, pasted with I don't know how many layers of window paper, the light was extremely dim, people walked in from the outside, and it took a long time to barely make out the general layout of the house. Fortunately, the Tu family didn't have any things, a plate of big kang was stained with two-thirds, and the rest was an old wooden box placed in the corner of the house. There are some messy small objects on the top of the box, there are no tables and chairs on the ground, there are a few stoneware jars against the root of the wall, high and low, large and small, and there are also some dried fish and dried kelp on the wall, the whole house is crowded and messy, and it is also filled with a strong salty and salty sea smell, which makes Afu Aman a little unaccustomed.

Mrs. Liu had already picked up her little grandson from the kang, knelt on the edge of the kang, and directly held the child to the ground and urinated. Only then did he slap and coax, the child had never seen such people, and suddenly saw Qiu Chen's mother and son, the three of them, they were not fresh, they refused to sleep again, and they twisted their heads to look at Qiu Chen's mother and son.

Qiu Chen smiled and said, "It seems that I don't want to sleep, let me hug it!" ”

Mrs. Liu looked at the clothes and pants on the child's body that could barely see the color, and then looked at the bright azure gown and milky white skirt on Qiu Chen's body, and said with some hesitation: "The child is dirty and ......."

Qiu Chen smiled and reached out to hold the child in his arms, gently patted the child's back, and said with a smile: "Auntie said this again, my own child has always been the most haode, such a big milk baby is the cleanest, where is it dirty!" ”

Generally, the most popular thing for an elder is to be praised by others, which makes her happier than praising herself.

Seeing Qiu Chen hugging his grandson so undisgustingly, and saying this sincerely, Mrs. Liu's heart was a lot more relaxed and guarded, and the smile lines on her face were a little deeper: "This is a lady with a good temperament and generosity!" ”

Qiu Chen smiled, didn't answer her words, hugged Liu's grandson, teased, and asked for a piece of snack from Aman's purse to feed the child: "This child is quite strong, how many months?" What is your name? ”

Mrs. Liu smiled and said: "Last May's birthday, ten months ago, how can we poor families have any serious names, they all say that crooked names are easy to support, I gave a name, called Daping." We, who go out to sea to fish, guard this sea, not afraid of not having food, but looking forward to peace and quiet. ”

Qiu Chen looked up at Mrs. Liu and said with a smile: "Da Ping is good, when you wait for your second grandson, it will be called Da'an." Peace and sound! ”

As soon as she said this, Mrs. Liu smiled even more happily, squinted her eyes and nodded her head again and again: "Well, that's how the old woman arranges it." Don't hide it from Mrs. Tell me that my daughter-in-law is pregnant again, if it goes smoothly, by this time next year, Da'an will be able to hold it in my arms! ”

When I thought of my daughter-in-law who was tired and tired, and had to go to the beach every day to pick up seafood, the smile on Mrs. Liu's face deepened. This lady brought a lot of food, and with those rice and noodles, she could add noodles and dry food to her eldest grandson and daughter-in-law every day. They make a living from fishing, and this rice and flour dry food is very rare, and they may not eat a clean flour dry food all year round!

Qiu Chen hugged Daping, a ten-month-old baby, and he was really not fat. Speaking of which, it's not as good as more than five months of October. Moreover, it was ten months old, but the child was just lying in Qiu Chen's arms, occasionally jumping a few times, and he didn't struggle to climb on his own, let alone stand up and walk by himself.

It was really embarrassing to stay in the house, the sun was good outside, and the weather was sunny and warm, so Qiu Chen proposed to sit outside.

Mrs. Liu didn't say a word, but she didn't get off the kang, but crawled to the corner of the kang, and after feeling the darkness for a long time, she turned around and said, "Okay!" ”

Qiu Chen was stunned, not knowing what she was doing. Afu Aman also looked puzzled.

Mrs. Liu looked at the three of her mothers with a blank face, rubbed her hands and said with a smile: "I am alone at home with the children, and I have to do housework, pickle fish, and mend the net......

As she spoke, Mrs. Liu simply took out a black stone with two blue bricks from the corner of the big kang: "Tie this, the child is not afraid to cry twice, and he can't fall!" ”

Qiu Chen was suddenly, and Ah Fu and Aman were stunned, but their eyes were wide open, and they couldn't believe it.

Mrs. Liu got off the kang, stretched out her hand to take her grandson over, hugged herself, and walked out with Qiu Chen. Ah Man squeezed around Qiu Chen, held Qiu Chen's hand tightly, and asked in a low voice, "Mother, is Man Er also tied up like this?" ”

Qiu Chen pouted with joy. Stretched out his hand to pick up Ah Man, took Ah Fu again, and said with a smile: "Mother wants to come, we don't have a suitable big stone at home, so we have to forget it." ”

Ah Fu was older and could hear Qiu Chen's jokes, but Ah Man was not happy, hugged Qiu Chen's neck and said, "Mother, don't tie Man'er, don't tie Man'er......"

Qiu Chen haha smiled, and pushed Aman's head: "You are so big, you can't even tie it if you want to!" ”

Walking outside the house, the bright sunlight squinted and stood for a while before getting used to it, Qiu Chen and Mrs. Liu were still sitting on the stool at the door of the house. At this moment, Qin Li and Qin Yong had already lifted out the only big piece of furniture of the Tu family, an old square table that had long been unable to see the color of lacquer, and the desktop had obviously been cleaned, but there was still some old ash in the gap between the drum teeth under the tabletop.

Several wagons had also been unloaded, and the coachman had fed the horses with his own fodder. Several carriages lined up and stopped not far away. Six or seven children, big and small, almost all ragged, gathered around the horses and carts with dark and thin faces, with excitement and envy on their faces. Born in this remote fishing village, they saw fishing nets and all kinds of seafood the most, heard the wind and waves of the sea and the fish and floods the most, and heard the horses and carriages only in the stories told by the older generation. Seeing so many horses and carriages at once, every eye is not enough. There were also two whispered arguments, how did the carriage go? No boat would run aground, wouldn't the carriage?

There were also a few small ones, attracted by the fragrance that gradually spread in the courtyard, gathered in the courtyard, and stood not far from the simple stove pit in the courtyard, biting their fingers and looking at the pot stove and the ingredients being cleaned and arranged.

Patting Ah Fu Aman's head, Qiu Chen said, "Didn't you two bring snacks for your little brother?" Why don't you get it yet? ”

Ah Fu Aman happily agreed, called out to Jun Yan Junzhang, who was in the way over there, and ran to the carriage to get two snack boxes, as well as several packets of soup, dried meat, and snacks.

Aman opened a snack box, took a piece of fluffy cake, and handed it to Mrs. Liu: "Grandma, this is for my brother!" ”

Mrs. Liu was moved, and praised Aman again and again, "Look, Mrs. is generous, this little eldest sister is also a kind-hearted ......person, so polite and sensible when she is so old, and she pities the old and the weak."

Aman blushed from being praised, looked at Qiu Chen embarrassedly, took a bag of sugar, pulled Ah Fu, and said to Qiu Chen: "Mother, I'll go and distribute sugar to those younger brothers and sisters!" ”

"Well, go ahead!" Qiu Chen nodded, looked at Afu Aman Junyan Junzhang and ran to find the children in the village, turned around, took Mrs. Liu's words, and said, "She is the youngest in the family, and she can't see children younger than her, and it's rare to see them!" ”

Liu said with a smile: "That's not easy, Mrs. is so young, add a few younger brothers and sisters to the little eldest sister, and the little eldest sister will naturally have younger siblings to cherish." ”

Qiu Chen smiled and sent away Ah Fu Aman, lowered his eyes, shook his head and said, "Don't tell my aunt that the child's father died a few years ago. ”

"Huh?" Liu Shi was stunned for a moment, and quickly explained, "Look at my wife...... I don't know ...... lady."

Qiu Chen raised his eyes and said with a gentle smile: "It's okay, my aunt doesn't know about my family affairs, don't blame those who don't know, and my aunt doesn't have to take it to heart." ”

Liu Shi nodded, and sighed infinitely: "Alas, it is said that good people are rewarded, and Madame has such a generous and compassionate heart, why is her life so miserable!" ”

Qiu Chen said with a smile: "What my aunt said in the first half of the sentence is good, good people are rewarded, I have a good life now, and my children are also strong and strong, so I have a good life." The most troubled times are over......"

"Well, Madame, this is a man who has accumulated great compassion, and he will surely get better and better in the future. In just a few years, when the elder brother and sister are older, the wife can enjoy the blessings! ”

Qiu Chen took the handkerchief and wiped it for Daping, who was covered with dim sum foam on his face, and nodded with a smile: "I think so too, with this pair of children, watching them grow up with each other, I can let go of it." ”

As he was talking, a burst of laughter came from afar, and Mrs. Liu stood up happily and said, "It's Da Ping Niang who is back!" ”

Five or six women, young in their early twenties, older in their forties, each wrapped their heads and faces in coarse cloth towels, but their feet were barefoot, and their trouser legs were pulled up, revealing that their calves and ankles were coarse and black, still stained with mud. Everyone has a cloth pocket tied around their waists, and most of them carry a pocket on their backs, and it can be seen from their rickety bodies and smiles on their faces that this trip to the sea has been quite fruitful.

Far away, someone saw the horses and carriages at the door of Tu Dahai's house, and shouted in surprise: "Pearl, look at your home, right?" Looks like someone is coming! ”

Da Ping Niang raised her head and squinted, and also showed a look of surprise and doubt: "Yes, but, didn't you say that you wanted to come?" ”

"Oh, don't say it, you hurry back, it looks like a lot of people are here." Another older one urged, "Your mother-in-law is home alone, and there are too many people to greet her." ”

"Oh, that's what my aunt said!" Da Ping Niang agreed, and quickened her pace to go home.

Someone behind him raised his voice and said: "Pearl, the rice noodles in your house are not enough, not enough to go to my house to pick up some, his father just went to the sea shop to change ten catties of noodles and came back." ”

"Oh, got it!" Daping Niang agreed without looking back, and accelerated her pace more and more. The family came back with two catties of white flour half a month ago, and gave Daping some batter to drink every day, and there was not much left at this time. There are so many people in the family all of a sudden, what do you want, and my mother-in-law doesn't know what to do.

While walking, Da Ping Niang comforted herself in her heart, she was lucky today, she got dozens of pounds of clams, more than ten pounds of fat razor clams, and picked up six or seven jellyfish. After a while, I will go to the neighbor's house to borrow two catties of noodles, and there are still yellow essence vegetables and wakame picked yesterday at home.

I thought about it in my heart, but when Da Ping Niang came to her house and saw the 'grand scene' full of people, she was still shocked...... Mother, why are there so many people!

The point is that except for a few villagers in the village who watched the excitement and a group of children in the village, she didn't know anyone else, and she had never seen them. But those who burn the fire, cut vegetables, and pack up all kinds of utensils and eat are busy, and those who go in and out seem to be in their own homes. This greatly surprised Da Ping Niang's expectations and common sense.

Looking at this situation, it seems that these people are very close to their own family...... But she had never heard her husband mention that there were any relatives in other places...... Moreover, seeing so many cars and horses, as well as the clothes of these people, the white skin and flesh of the two little girls who were burning the fire, and the few boys who were carrying water from the well, they were also delicate and neatly dressed, and it could be seen from these that these people who came were very rich and rich. When did their Tu family have such a big relative?!

Without waiting for Daping Niang to be stunned for a long time, Mrs. Liu had already greeted Daping with her, and as soon as she saw her, she said loudly: "Pearl is back, you come in, our family has a distinguished guest......"

Qiu Chen also stood up with a smile at this time, met Da Pingniang's inquiring gaze, smiled and nodded: "The old lady is too polite, we are veritable uninvited guests, and we are not invited to the door...... This is Daping's mother, right? ”

The woman opposite is very young, a light dress is elegant and elegant, like a character in a painting, and the smile is gentle and generous, and the words reveal a heartiness, really, there is no place that is not good-looking, there is no place that does not make people feel like a spring breeze, just comfortable and tight.

"Hey, this kid, what's going on today, why can't you even say a word!" Mrs. Liu anxiously urged beside her, "Pearl, why don't you know how to say hello to this lady!" ”

"My aunt is out again." Qiu Chen smiled and waved his hand, "It seems that it should be me as the elder, so I'll hold it up and call your name Pearl." You can call me sister or sister-in-law. ”

Da Ping Niang was slightly embarrassed, grinning and spit out a muffled voice: "Sister-in-law! ”

"Hey, look at me, I'm talking, Pearl is still carrying some things, hurry up and put down the ...... first" Yufeng, who was not far away, heard the words and tried to take the pocket on Da Pingniang's shoulder.

Da Ping Niang was so frightened that she took two steps back, dodged Yufeng's white and delicate hands, and said in a loud voice: "I can't help it, I can't help it, these things are very muddy and watery, don't stain your clothes!" ”

Yufeng retracted her hand and looked at Qiu Chen with a little helplessness, and Qiu Chen shook his head almost invisibly.

Fortunately, without Yufeng's help, Da Ping Niang also walked directly to the wellhead and put down the pocket on her shoulder, and then turned around and finally found a basin, carried water and washed away the mud and sand with a bag of clams and a bag of fat clams. After such a while, after the jelly bean offensive, a few bold village children had already followed Afu Aman, and they also hulala and ran over to form a circle.

Aman pointed to the cleaned fat razor clams, raised his little face and asked Daping Niang: "Auntie, what is this?" ”

As soon as Da Ping Niang saw Afu Aman's clothes and appearance, she knew that it was also brought by the guest, so she hurriedly laughed and said, "This is a razor clam." It's delicious, and my aunt will make it for you! ”

At home, I often see my mother making good food, and when I talk about cooking, I am very interested in asking, "What is my aunt going to do?" Soup or ...... Fry? ”

Daping Niang is a little flustered, their fishermen never pay attention to seafood, that is, that little water is used to make the original soup, where do they still pay attention to what to make soup and what to fry...... Besides, oil is not allowed in stir-frying, their family is poor, and they can't buy oil all year round, so where are they willing to use it to make this.

Qiu Chen also came over at this time, stretched out his hand to pull Aman up, wiped the little girl's mud-stained hands with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Your aunt is ready, you just wait for the food to be eaten, why do you still have so many words!" ”

"Mother, I just want to ask, is my aunt's cooking the same as my mother's...... The food cooked by the mother is delicious, and the aunt should cook it like the mother, and the food will be delicious. Man'er buried his little face in Qiu Chen's arms dissatisfied, humming and chirping.

Qiu Chen nodded her little nose, turned back to Da Ping Niang and said, "My girl is not big enough for me...... Speaking of which, I like to cook it directly with water, and the fresh food I just caught is still the most delicious and freshest in the original taste! ”

Although the 'original' was a little awkward, Da Ping Niang understood Qiu Chen's meaning, and it was the same as her plan, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the smile on her face deepened: "Well, our fishermen are used to boiling it with water, and the rest, at home...... Well, I haven't done it, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it well! ”

"Hey, I'll just say, this fresh food is still best understood by your fishermen, fresh food, what you eat is the word 'fresh', and make some messy things into it, but it covers up the umami." Qiu Chen smiled and agreed with Da Ping Niang, and continued, "You have also washed these, you can explain to me the two girls, how much water to use, and what kind of heat...... Let them cook. You better sit down and rest, and feed Daping too. That kid hasn't seen you for most of the day, so he should be hungry...... I saw you just now, I looked at you with my eyes, you didn't pay attention to him, and the child was about to cry when he was wronged......"

Da Ping Niang was sour and sour by Qiu Chen's words, and agreed again and again, turned around and whispered a few words to Yufeng, then hurriedly washed her hands, ran to Mrs. Liu's place to pick up Da Ping, sat on the threshold, and skillfully lifted the placket to nurse the child......

It is not uncommon for women to feed their children on the street, but Junwen Junshu, and even Pan Jiaqing and others have read books after all, and they pay more attention to these etiquettes, so they were stunned, without exception, they stiffened their bodies and turned their heads, and their faces were red one by one

Even Xiao Afu blushed slightly, grabbed Qiu Chen's placket, and let his mother block him in front of him.

This scene made Qiu Chen cry and laugh. In this social form, there is actually such a situation where men are so shy that they are collectively shy...... It's so rare!

And Mrs. Liu, the children in the village, and even the few drivers who drove the car, did not show any abnormality, and it was obvious that they were all used to it.

Yufeng and Qingxing also looked embarrassed, but fortunately, there was a big pot of clams and a bucket of fat clams for them to deal with. Qiu Chen also simply stepped forward to instruct, asking them to put the clams and fat razor clams into the water and blanch them, and after taking them out, the razor clams took the meat and shelled them, beat in more than 20 eggs, and put them in the pot to stir-fry. Part of the clam is taken from the meat, the other part is directly put into the basin, and the dipping sauce prepared with vinegar, soy sauce and sesame oil is served together.

Before, the ingredients brought by Qiu Chen and the salted fish and shrimp paste taken out by Mrs. Liu had already been prepared, and everyone started together, and the clams and razor clams were also quickly made and served on the table together.

There were too many people, a table could not be opened, Da Ping Niang went to the neighbor's house and borrowed two tables and more than a dozen benches and beds of different heights, the meals were served in triplicate, adults and children sat around, and had a lively lunch.

As for the children who watched the excitement, Qiu Chen didn't let them be empty-handed, one child gave a bowl of white rice, and a few slices of oily fat were put in each bowl! The little faces of the children are smiling like flowers. Joy and excitement are even better than the New Year!
