Chapter 077: Yuan Hai is missing
"Alas......"
Zhou sighed and didn't say anything more. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After resting for a while, Zhou and Ngawang prepared dinner together.
When Shen Qiao saw it, he felt that he was quite bored, so he also went to the kitchen with him.
There is nothing to do in the past few days, Shen Qiao instantly felt that her whole person was not good, she was a person who couldn't be idle, but she was not so perverted to want to have a case every day and let herself have something to do.
So, she decided to learn to cook from Zhou.
In modern times, she still uses simple noodles and the like, but steaming rice over a wood fire and stir-frying vegetables to make soup is a bit more difficult for her.
"Qiaoqiao, you really don't need to come to the kitchen, you can rest outside, read a book, or talk to Ah Xuan. Now it's getting hotter and hotter and it's stuffy in the kitchen. ”
Zhou steamed the rice in a small pot, and then said while shopping for vegetables.
"Mother, I'm so flustered. Besides, if you go out one day and I'm home alone, I'm not going to starve to death. So, mother, you still teach me! ”
Shen Qiao said with a smile.
"You kid, my mother used to teach you, your father protected you, and you didn't like it, why is your father no longer here, but you are willing to learn?"
Zhou handed the basin to Shen Qiao and said.
"I was still young! Mother, what is this pot for, peeling potatoes? ”
Shen Qiao took the basin.
"The potatoes have been peeled and soaked in water, if you want to learn, then cut them first!"
Zhou reluctantly agreed to Shen Qiao.
Shen Qiao took the basin and walked to the board, and sure enough, there were four potatoes soaked in the big bowl.
So he picked up the knife and began to cut it.
"Mother, is it sliced or shredded?"
Shen Qiao looked at the round potatoes and thought, whether he slice or shred, the effect should be the same! But still ask, lest they be embarrassed to ask whether it is silk or a piece or a strip when they eat for a while.
"You still shredded this craft? Let's slice it, if it's thinly sliced, we'll fry it, and if it's thick, we'll make it. ”
Zhou squatted in the stove with duck soup, clearing the heat.
"Oh."
Shen Qiao replied, and then began to act.
When it was time to eat in the evening, Gu Xuan looked at the plate of yellow and charred potatoes and said, "Qiaoqiao, I'll go to the city tomorrow to buy you books." ”
"What are you buying books for?"
Shen Qiao asked puzzled.
"I think it's better for you to sit quietly and read, didn't you say that you've read all the books in your room? I'll buy it for you. ”
Gu Xuan said seriously.
"Flutter!"
Ngawang couldn't help but laugh.
Zhou also smiled and said, "Okay, Ah Xuan, you will go buy books tomorrow and come back, fortunately, just a few of us, if there are guests, we will not be laughed to death." ”
Shen Qiao looked at the plate of potatoes depressedly, and sandwiched a piece, oh no, it should be one.
She didn't understand why she would use the same force of a knife and the same angle to cut such a different shape with the same potato.
"I don't read, I'll continue to cut potatoes tomorrow until they are cut into the kind of mother's cut."
Shen Qiao took a bite of it, and then said very calmly.
Although Shen Qiao's potatoes are of different shapes, Zhou's craftsmanship is good, and a simple dish can be made delicious, so everyone is happy to finish eating.
Of course, Shen Qiao was inevitably hit by Gu Xuan's various blows.
In the evening, it was all kinds of boredom again, but fortunately, Shen Qiao was almost used to it, and came back after walking around the village with Gu Xuan.
"Mother, do you remember that young man when we went over the day when Qingyan next door was beaten?"
After coming back, Shen Qiao asked.
"You said the big tiger! What's wrong? Did you meet him just now? ”
Zhou was boiling hot water, and when he heard Shen Qiao ask, he replied.
"Well, that person is very strange, Gu Xuan and I saw that it was almost dark, and he was still running down the mountain with things on his back. Could it be that their family lives at the foot of the mountain? ”
Shen Qiao replied.
"That's right. Dahu lives at the foot of the mountain with his mother and his brother, and they live there as a family. I also heard that when the big tiger was ten years old, his father died when his mother was pregnant with his younger brother, and was kicked out by his grandparents, so the mother and son went to the foot of the mountain to live, it used to be a thatched hut built by the village, and now the big tiger is old, sometimes he will go to the mountains to hunt, and he will build a big house over there after earning silver, I heard that he also sent his younger brother to school, but unfortunately, he did not marry a daughter-in-law. ”
Zhou was talking about the gossip he had heard from the villagers.
"Oh, that's right! I thought he was carrying a bag of hemp to the mountains to set things up so late! ”
Gu Xuan said on the side.
Because it was getting dark, the two of them didn't see what the big tiger was on its back, only that it looked like a sack.
"I guess I bought something for the family outside, that child is filial. I just don't like to talk. ”
Zhou's interface said.
Shen Qiao asked some other things in the village that she didn't know, and the Zhou family told her one by one, and after talking for a while, Shen Qiao saw that the Zhou family was yawning, so she washed up and went to sleep.
"Qiaoqiao, it's boring to stay in this village, why don't we take our eldest mother to Fucheng tomorrow?"
After Zhou went to sleep, Gu Xuan said to Shen Qiao.
"My mother probably won't go, I have to walk for more than two hours to go to Fucheng, that's one morning."
Shen Qiao shook his head and said.
In fact, she didn't want to stay here either, mainly because she didn't do anything every day and felt that she was about to be wasted.
But Zhou is her only relative here, and she has a relationship after a few months of getting along, and she doesn't want to leave Zhou.
If Zhou wants, she has no problem.
"Oh. Then tomorrow, I will persuade Aunt Zhou and let her come along. ”
Gu Xuan said again.
"Wow, as long as you can persuade."
"Jojo, Xuan."
As soon as Shen Qiao finished speaking, he heard the Lin family next door calling them.
"Grandma Lin, what's wrong? Why don't you rest so late? ”
Shen Qiao walked a few steps, approached the Yuan family's house, and asked.
"It's your Uncle Yuan, he hasn't come back yet, I'm a little panicked, so I can't sleep, so I come out for a walk."
Lin said.
"Oh."
Shen Qiao didn't want to say anything more to Yuan Hai, so he only said "oh".
"I let your aunt go, I guess I got drunk at someone else's house. In the past, when your Uncle Yuan drank outside, he usually had to be sent back by someone who was drunk, and I thought I couldn't trouble others, so I let your aunt go. ”
Lin didn't care whether Shen Qiao asked or not, so he said it himself.
"Oh."
Shen Qiao continued to answer.
"Mother, mother, no, the third uncle's family said that the child's father came back before dinner and didn't drink at his house. But now that no one has arrived, what should I do? ”
Just when Shen Qiao wanted to tell the Lin family that he was tired and was going to sleep, Qingyan Niang hurriedly walked towards the Lin family from the gate of the Yuan family, shouting as she walked.
"Huh? So what to do? ”
When Lin heard Qingyanniang say this, she was also a little panicked, she was already a little flustered in the afternoon, so she asked Qingyanniang to find Yuan Hai before.
"Grandma Lin, auntie, don't panic, Uncle Yuan may have gone to another house to drink, you can go to other homes to find it and try it."
Shen Qiao spoke out to comfort.
"I've also gone to other homes, I've been to see several houses in the village with the child's father, and if I left before dinner, I wouldn't have come back for so long, so I went to other homes and asked, but I didn't see it."
Qingyan Niang frowned and said.
