Chapter 3, Grandma Luo Zhou's
The scoop leaked, and there was no way to continue scooping water, so Luo Yumin could only evenly symmetrical the bucket of water that had been scooped first, and put it on top of the wheelbarrow and began to push the cart back. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Walking on the mountain road, she found that something was wrong, as if her strength had increased a lot, the wheelbarrow was quite easy to push, and she shortened the original half-hour journey by half and returned home, these Luo Yumin still thought that the water was not full.
"Sister, you're back, I'll pour the tank." Out of the cave came a little boy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, the boy was wearing a half-new sky blue jersey, a pair of pants with a few patches were clean, and a pair of green-bottomed canvas rubber shoes on his feet, the boy looked about twelve years old (in fact, just over ten years old), about 1.3 meters tall, this is Luo Yun's only son, Luo Yuliang.
"You are still young, you can't carry it, when your sister leaves, you will have to do the work of receiving water for your sister." Luo Yumin's grades are very good, and the teachers say that if she keeps up, she will definitely be admitted to the key universities in the capital, but what Luo Yumin wants to go to most is a southern city with the sea, but this is too far from home, and the travel fee will cost a lot of money.
"Min girl, why didn't you come back before the water was full." Grandpa Luo Fugui helped Luo Yumin unload the car, only to see that there were only more than half a bucket of water on both sides with questions on his face, the old man's wrinkled face was full of vicissitudes, his bark-like wrinkled hands, and the cracks in the nails were full of dirt.
Grandpa Luo helped Luo Yumin carry the bucket down with trembling hands.
"Grandpa, I'm really not excited today, I don't know what fell from the sky and broke the scoop, I'll go again later." Luo Yumin's face was aggrieved, and he took out a water scoop made of half a gourd from the house.
"Did you hurt your baby?" Luo Laohan hurriedly asked, his dim old eyes looking Luo Yumin up and down.
"No mile" Luo Yumin subconsciously moved back the bloody foot that she hadn't had time to replace, she was afraid that her grandfather would be sad when he saw it.
Older people are always a little mentally poor, Grandpa Luo didn't notice his granddaughter's abnormal expression, just poured the water into the tank and carried two buckets out of the cave, Luo Yumin followed out silently, loaded the bucket on the wheelbarrow again and squeaked towards the water of life.
Luo Yumin has a wish in his heart, that is, to leave the mountains, to be able to wash his hair and take a bath happily every day, no longer need to use water as tightly as now, a spoonful of water to wash his face and wash his hands, and then use it to wash rags or save up and water the ground, like his grandfather and grandmother are rare to take a bath all year round.
Luo Yumin didn't notice that she had a lot of strength today, so she easily transported a few back and forth, filling several large tanks at home, and then she went out again, this time taking her grandfather's and grandmother's clothes to the edge of the puddle to wash on the spot, which is also a work she must do once a week, and she and her brother's clothes are usually washed off at school.
At noon, Grandma made dried noodles with beans, and Grandma took out a pork of about two catties that Luo Yumin brought back yesterday from the beam of the house, cut a large section and hung it back, and then scooped some hot water out of the small crockpot on the four corners of the stove and washed the meat, and then cut the meat into thin slices two fingers wide and one inch long.
After the pot on the stove is heated, add some soybean oil to burn to remove the beany smell, add minced ginger and fry until fragrant, pour in the sliced meat oil, fry the discoloration, add salt, cooking wine, soy sauce and some water to simmer on the lid.
There was a bunch of dried carob shreds that had already been soaked in the clay pot on one side, Luo Zhoushi grabbed the carob shreds and filtered the water and cut them a few times, then lifted the lid of the pot and poured it into the pot to stir-fry, tasted the saltiness before spreading the noodles that had already been rolled out and cut on the top of the dishes in the pot, adding the lid and reducing the fire of the stove.
When the water in the pot boiled dry, there was a thunderclapping sound, Luo Zhoushi lifted the lid of the pot, stirred the meat, beans and noodles at the bottom of the pot thoroughly, and then sprinkled a little water on the noodles and stuffed for half a minute.
"Min girl, Liang'er, fall into a bowl (North China local dialect: eat)"
The sisters and brothers usually eat very frugally at school, usually the dried beans and pickles brought by the family, Luo Yumin thought that she often had meat to eat in the restaurant, so she saved the dishes she brought from the small restaurant to her younger brother Luo Yuliang.
Luo Zhou first served a large bowl of noodles to Luo Yuliang, and also picked a lot of meat slices in his bowl, and then served another bowl to Luo Yumin, and then it was his own old man's, and when it was his turn to be in his bowl, there were only red noodles dyed with soy sauce and a few dried beans.
A family of four was eating lunch on a small kang table, Grandpa Luo's wrinkled hands trembled slightly, he was trying to peel a garlic head, Luo Yumin also picked up a clove of garlic and peeled it a few times and put it in Grandpa Luo's bowl.
"Milk, you eat meat," Luo Yuliang saw that there was no piece of meat in his grandmother's bowl, so he took the initiative to dial the meat in the bowl, but Luo Zhou was busy avoiding the bowl and refused to take it.
"Ming'er, you eat more, reading is a brain-drain, you have to eat more, grandma's noodles are also fragrant." This scene is often seen by the Luo family, and the family pushes a few meat dishes.
"Grandpa, grandma, my sister and I have meat to eat every day at school, you can see how strong my body is." Luo Yuliang put the bowl on the kang table, rolled up his sleeves and revealed his small arms.
Grandpa Luo, Zhou's family, and Luo Yumin looked at Luo Yuliang's childish face and showed a relieved smile, the old couple knew that they didn't hurt this grandson in vain, they knew that they cared about their family since they were children, and they also knew how to be humble.
"Grandma, tomorrow we will go back to school, don't be too tired, the jar is full, don't be reluctant to eat the meat, make a braised pork for my grandfather, I love to eat this bite when I look at my grandfather." Luo Yumin munched on the noodles in the bowl and said slurredly.
"I don't eat braised pork, let your grandmother cut this meat in half to make a potato stew at night, and then cut some for you to fry Jiang beans and take to school to eat, and the rest is smeared with salt and kept for you to come back next week to make again."
Grandpa Luo took a bite of garlic, chewed it beautifully, and picked a piece of roasted and somewhat drained fat and put it in his mouth to taste it carefully, looking at what a cherished delicacy he seemed to be eating.
"Grandpa, grandma, I know that you are helping me save for my tuition, thinking that I will go to college next year, and I have something I want to tell you.
Since the beginning of the year, I have been working in a restaurant in the town, and I have saved up a salary that can be used to pay for tuition at that time, so you don't have to save too much. After thinking about it a few times, Luo Yumin said that he had saved money, and Luo Laohan and Luo Zhou were stunned for a moment.
"Min girl, what are you talking about? You work in the town, what kind of work do you do, how old were you two years ago, did the shopkeeper bully you? The bowl in Luo Zhou's panicked hand almost fell.
"Milk, my sister helps in a restaurant, she goes after class every day, she won't delay her homework, the proprietress is very good, and she often asks her sister to bring food back." At this time, Luo Yuliang interjected.
"Grandma, no one bullied me, I worked there for more than three hours every night, and I could save almost 300 yuan a month, the proprietress was very good, and sometimes let me take away some vegetables, and gave me waste newspapers and books, which can be sold for money if I save more." Luo Yun was afraid that the old man was in a hurry to explain.
"How can you do three hours in the store and give this a lot of money, I didn't do anything else." Luo Zhou was still not at ease.
Luo Zhou's maiden family also had some family background before, and she herself also had some culture, and she was a beautiful lady in the old days, and the names of Luo Yumin and Luo Yuliang were all given by her.
Luo Fugui is Zhou's second husband and the younger brother of her ex-husband, and her daughter Luo Erya was born to her ex-husband.
"Grandma, what are you talking nonsense, it's a serious hotel," Luo Yumin's face flushed with shame, arguing eagerly.
