CHAPTER XLVII

Xiao Zhou put down Laba porridge and left in a hurry, and Mrs. Chi was still waiting for her to go back to make Laba garlic. The oranges and Chen's didn't keep much, and they had to pickle the garlic for a while.

After the garlic is pickled, it can be eaten until the first month, and the whole body is green, like jade. The garlic, spicy and vinegar aroma blends together, and the taste is unique.

There are only three people in the Lihua family, and there are relatives in the Sun family during the New Year, but there are not many, so there are very few pickles. After pickling, she came to the orange house to help, and the orange wanted to be kept and eaten slowly, and there were a lot of pickles.

It didn't take long for Xiuxiu to come over with a basin, she was here to deliver Laba porridge. Her mother loved her, and she stayed at home to take the insole, so she simply took the insole to play with the two of them.

Orange admires the girl in the village very much, and she finishes a pair of insoles when she stands and talks, and the stitches are very good.

Xiuxiu waved her hand and said that she was not fast, nor was she good, but the girl from Mrs. Dong's family in the village had good skills.

"My mother said don't look at Mrs. Dong's sloppy and sloppy, her son married a good daughter-in-law, and her three granddaughters are all very diligent." There was some sympathy in Xiuxiu's tone, "But few of the girls in the village are willing to play with them - I think it's pitiful." ”

Orange has no impression of Mrs. Dong's three granddaughters, and she usually says hello when she is common, but unlike Mrs. Dong, she doesn't like to be silent.

Lihua knew the three girls, "I remember that they didn't have a marriage, and her mother wanted to keep them for a few more years to help the family work." They also have a little brother under them, who I heard is only more than ten years old. ”

"No, Mrs. Dong hurts this boy, and she looks tighter than her eyes. I also heard that Mrs. Dong's daughter-in-law always quarreled with her because of this, saying that she loved the boy too much, and raised a good young man to be a girly. Xiuxiu turned her neck, why did she feel tired and panicked before she started embroidering.

Orange thinks that the daughter-in-law here still has some knowledge, girls have to be pampered, but boys have to fall around since they were young, and the skin is better.

"In two days, Qingwa Ge will get married, call me when you go." Xiuxiu remembered this big event, "My three brothers have all gone over to help." I've also heard that Qingwago is going to build his house next to the two of you, which is good. ”

She also deliberately told the pig Li that their three sons seem to be divided sooner or later, so it is better to get a good position as soon as possible. She looked at the pear blossom family very well, relying on the mountains and water.

Killing the pig Li was moved, lying on the kang and turning over and over and over and couldn't sleep. His mother-in-law had already snored, sighed helplessly, and slowly fell asleep in the moonlight.

"I won't call you then! Sister Orange and I have gone a long way, you and I are stupid? Rika washed her hands, so she wasn't fooled.

Xiuxiu pouted, "Who let you go?" Love will go or not, oranges will definitely call me. ”

Orange looked at them arguing happily, and when she saw that she was pulled up, she quickly got up and left. Neither of these two girls is easy to offend.

Xiuxiu stomped her foot, and Pear Blossom giggled, "Don't worry, Sister Orange is too lazy to call you." ”

Xiuxiu gestured to tickle her, but Rika smiled and hid.

Chen listened to the excitement in the courtyard in the house, and his heart was very happy. She likes the lively house where people come to play with oranges.

"Mother, are you tired? Lie down for a while. Orange came in with egg custard, Chen frowned, she didn't want to eat egg custard.

In the past, not to mention egg custard, even corn tortillas have been eaten for more than ten years, and I haven't seen her say a word.

She saw that Chen was reluctant to eat it, so she figured out this method to make the orange stop doing it.

Sun is too, since she had an illness, Pear Blossom is also an egg every day. Sometimes steamed egg custard, sometimes egg soup, no matter how many times she said she didn't eat it, it didn't help.

Sometimes I was in a hurry and resolutely didn't eat it, and Pear Blossom couldn't persuade her, so I let her go. The next day, it was still steamed, and it was placed in front of her in connection with yesterday's.

If you don't want to eat, wait until you want to eat, anyway, you can't put things on hold in winter. Sun Shi fell back angrily, and kept an egg for her every day.

Quietly let Zhao He eat, he resolutely stood on his daughter's side. The last time Sun's illness frightened him, he died of his father and mother since he was a child, and his son went to sea again, but he didn't want his daughter-in-law to get sick.

Sun can't, and she will be honest in the future, her daughter and the head of the family have a hard time, how can she eat it.

Before Chen could speak, Orange said first: "Mother, our chicks have grown so long wings and are big, it won't be long before they can lay eggs!" If you don't want to eat egg custard, or you will stew a chicken to eat, and the chicken will be tender and fragrant! ”

Chen took the custard and ate it obediently. The chick has not fully grown yet, and I can't say how many eggs it will lay in the future, wouldn't it be a pity to wait so long to kill it?

Orange covered her mouth and laughed, knowing that her mother would drink it obediently.

In the yard, Pear Blossom and Xiuxiu were still messing around, talking about the New Year, the ancient New Year was heavy, and it was a time when they could finally eat and drink a lot, and the two of them were very excited.

"Pear blossom, do you know, my father said to buy a sheep!"

Rika widened her eyes, "A sheep? Can your family eat that much? ”

Orange listened attentively, and she wanted to buy a lamb too, but not for meat - although she wanted to eat kebabs, and she wanted to milk them.

Goat's milk can also make all kinds of snacks, as well as nutrition, but I don't know how much silver it costs.

"I have a lot of family and relatives, and I can also give gifts during the New Year." Xiuxiu was also very excited, she hadn't eaten mutton since she was so big, and she heard her father say that there was a smell.

Orange walked over and asked, "Xiuxiu, where is your father going to buy it?" Is it our village? I want to buy it too. ”

"I don't know, go back and ask my dad to tell you. However, the old man of our village didn't raise a few sheep, so he should go to his house. ”

Old man Shi has four sheep at home, and he leads them to graze in the forest every day, and I heard that he still talks to the sheep all the time.

When Pear Blossom heard that oranges also wanted to raise, her heart also jumped, the family is not getting better and better, raising chickens and sheep, and then raising a pig is perfect.

"Xiuxiu, when will your pigs give birth, I'm waiting to raise your piglets! By next year we won't have to buy pork, we can kill a whole pig and eat it! Rika smiled stupidly.

Sun happened to come to talk to Chen, and when he heard what his daughter said about the fool, he laughed out loud, "Look at the origin of our pear blossoms, all we think about every day is to eat!" ”

Pear Blossom didn't follow, ran over and pulled the corner of Sun's clothes, "Mother, how can you say that about me, I'm angry." Sister Orange raises sheep, I raise pigs, don't I have a good life! ”

Orange snorted and laughed, took Xiuxiu's hand and said, "You go and find out when your pig will give birth, you can't wait for a moment to see Pear Blossom like this!" ”

A few people laughed, and the winter sun shone on their bodies very warmly.

"Sister Orange, is the egg you pickled last time okay?" Xiuxiu suddenly remembered the Songhua eggs that she pickled with oranges last time, but she had been thinking about it for a long time.

Orange patted his head, "I'll take a look, I almost forgot!" ”

She pickled the Songhua eggs, peeled the mud on the outside, and the eggshells were grayish-white. Pear blossom thought it was pickled, and she felt distressed there.

That's a lot of eggs!

The orange is very happy, it seems that the pickling is very successful, peel off one, it is brown and has a pine branch pattern.

Xiuxiu is also a pity, why did this egg become black, can you still eat it?

The oranges can't wait to cut a few pieces, seasoned with vinegar and ginger juice, the entrance is a special fragrance, refreshing and smooth, the egg white bite is full of elasticity, the egg yolk is glutinous, soft and delicious.

It's been a long time since I've eaten it, and it's one of her favorite cold dishes in modern times.

Pear Blossom hurriedly said on the side: "Sister Orange, don't eat it, what should you do if you are sick?" Isn't it just a few eggs, let's contribute to the land! The expression on his face was still a little painful, but his eyes were worried.

Orange sneered, clipped one for her, and handed Xiuxiu a pair of chopsticks, "You guys taste it, it's delicious!" That's what I want. ”

Xiuxiu frowned and took a small bite, the first bite felt a little fishy, the more it melted in her mouth, the more delicious it felt, and the special fragrance was really attractive.

She and Pear Blossom glanced at each other, and had to admit that even an orange pickled egg could have so many tricks, and the key was delicious.

The orange took a few more bites, thinking about whether this kind of thing was cold, or whether it would be better to boil it into preserved egg and lean porridge for Chen to drink.

**

Since Songbai had a fight with Xiaoshun on the dock, no one dared to bully him on the boat, and he automatically made way for him every time he served food.

At that time, Xiaoshun took advantage of his inattention to twist and dislocate his arm, and Songbai used that intact hand to beat Xiaoshun down, and then connected the dislocated arm himself.

The people next to him gasped when they looked at it, but Songbai only frowned. If he doesn't win today, not only will it be greatly discounted in Fang Dangjia's heart, but even Du Dangjia, who has been hiding behind, will no longer care about him.

Fang Dangjia was silent for a long time after hearing about it, this person not only has scheming, but he is also so ruthless to himself, he is really a usable person!

Xiong Zi watched from the side and tightened his heart, he was afraid that something would happen to Songbai, and he couldn't explain it to his aunt's family! Fortunately, the pine and cypress were only wounded by flesh, and there was a large patch of bruises.

If the orange were here, it would be distressed. The pine and cypress were already delicate, and their faces were swollen a lot.

Xiaoshun didn't get any better, and he staggered when he stood up. He can get the relatives of Fang Dangjia, and he still has some ability. He dislocated Songbai's arm, thinking that Songbai would give up, but he was careless. I suddenly admired the pine and cypress in my heart.

***

After half a month at sea, a storm was ushered in. Songbai and Xiongzi ran to the deck to help, and the people on the ship were in good order, apparently accustomed to seeing this situation.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "The boat is leaking, come on!" ”

One sentence shocked everyone!
