CHAPTER XXIX

Li Laosan and Li Laoer ate two large bowls of oily noodles alone, and Songbai knew that the oranges had to eat something else for a while, so they only ate a bowl to fill their stomachs.

"Brother, you say, which is better between the rice cooked by Sister Orange and the Cao family's ramen?" Pear Blossom asked Songbai with a wicked smile, Songbai didn't fall for her, wiped the corners of her mouth and said:

"Will you follow Xiuxiu later, or will you follow us?"

Before Pear Blossom could speak, the third child preemptively said, "What?" Let's not play together, how lively the people are, isn't it a show. ”

Xiuxiu nodded hurriedly, Songbai squinted and glanced at the second child who had not spoken, what idea did they have when he didn't see it?

Pear blossom straight wondered about the abnormality of the third child and Xiuxiu today, usually the two of them are very interesting. She saw that Songbai didn't say anything, so she didn't ask more.

The five of them paid the money and continued to walk together, and when they saw that there were a lot of people guessing lantern riddles, they thought about going to see the excitement. But among the few of them, only Songbai recognized the words.

The third child and Xiuxiu tried their best not to watch the riddles, joking, how could they put their second brother at a disadvantage?

It turned out that Xiu Xiuniang was talking about the second child all day long, and the eldest child was crawling all over the ground, and the second child was not too young, so it was time to Zhang Luo.

The second child is a muffled gourd, but his own mind is very right, and he was forced to be anxious, shouting about marrying an orange.

Xiu Xiu Niang summed it up, Orange is a good child, except for the bad reputation - she doesn't dislike it. The third child thought that Orange would marry him and become his second sister-in-law, and it would be much easier for him to marry Pear Blossom in the future.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that Chi Dazhu's family has taken a fancy to Songbai, and Songbai has not said goodbye now, they have a sense of crisis.

Songbai guessed a rough idea from the eyes of the third child and Xiuxiu, a family has a hundred women who want to marry an orange, is it a good thing that someone wants to marry an orange, is it possible that he can't even compare to Li Lao'er?

In the past, he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart, and he felt that Orange was Zhang Pengfei's daughter-in-law. Now he finally wants to marry Orange, and others have also discovered the goodness of Orange.

But he is not afraid, he and Orange grew up together, and he knows how dependent Orange is on him. Besides, didn't he not be rejected the first few times he pulled the orange?

Orange didn't know anything, she was wandering around happy, after wearing it in ancient times, she rarely moved at night, and usually rested early when it was dark. It's rare to be able to come out and have a good time, so she just has to have a little fun.

Xiuxiu glanced at the second child, didn't he say that he wanted to marry Orange? Why can't she speak when she sees people now, she's really going to die.

The second child saw that Xiuxiu's eyes were about to cramp, and he had to mumble to him when he went back. But he said that marrying an orange was just forced by his mother to be in a hurry. He doesn't have a deep friendship with Orange.

He doesn't know a few girls in the village, and most of them are still good friends with Xiuxiu. His mother was not satisfied with her sister-in-law, and she thought that what the matchmaker said was unreliable, so she had to find it herself this time. asked the three aunts and six mothers-in-law not to say, but also let him find out by himself.

He doesn't know what's wrong with his sister-in-law, and his relationship with his eldest brother is also very good, why is his mother more and more dissatisfied?

If he can marry an orange, it would be good, he would definitely love her well and not let her suffer a little grievance. The key is that the orange is willing, and after shopping for a long time, I didn't even look at him, but I looked at the pine and cypress several times.

After eating, he handed the pine and cypress a handkerchief, and the pine and cypress took it unceremoniously. Why don't he use pear blossoms, he has to use oranges. Is the intimacy between the two comparable to him?

Anyway, why should he ask for that suspicion!

When I walked back, the moon had already passed over the treetops, and the bright light made the trees beside the road gloomy, and I always felt that there was something somewhere. The most terrifying time is the occasional ghost fire that ignites itself.

Xiuxiu saw that the second child didn't even say a word to the orange, so she was angry with the second child, and she didn't talk to the second child in anger, and walked next to the third child. The third child was telling a ghost story to Pear Blossom, and she was stunned. The autumn wind is quite cool, and goosebumps arise from the back.

"Don't talk about it, it's weird." Rika shuddered, she felt that there was something behind her. Looking back, there are only pines and oranges.

She thought that the two of them had not been alone all night, and she had the intention to let the two of them be alone, and suddenly ran forward with a strange scream. The third child was scared after he finished speaking, and he ran with his legs.

Xiuxiu is also a coward, and she runs with her for some reason, screaming while running, leaving a second child who thinks about her heart walking slowly. Orange didn't know what was going on, but she also felt a little scary, and just wanted to run but was caught by Songbai.

"It must be the pear blossom's fault, let's walk slowly behind."

After Songbai finished speaking, he glanced at the second child meaningfully, and the second child came back to his senses and smiled reluctantly, and went to chase Xiuxiu in front.

No matter how dark the night was, he also saw the two clasped hands.

*

Half a month later, Huang knew that Chen was pregnant, so he asked his uncle to send her over. The girl has finally got her wish after all these years, and she has to take good care of her daughter.

Orange breathed a sigh of relief at first, she really couldn't control Chen, so she had to get out of bed and work. If you don't do it, she is holding back her strength, and if you do it, she is afraid that she will be tired.

On the second day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, she was about to go to the ground, and Chi Dazhu was ruthless and gave her a beating. Several women in the village who had a good relationship with her came to see her, and the old courtyard knew that she was okay and pregnant, and the first one to breathe a sigh of relief was Chi Daliang.

Mrs. Chi was also happy in her heart, and now the second child finally had a queen. Taking this opportunity, she wanted to ease the relationship with the second family, and she was still thinking about the money.

didn't think that Chi Dazhu ignored her, and Orange didn't even let her in. Chi Daliang, who came with him, scolded at the door, and he felt that he was reasonable.

is simply remote here, and there are only two families of the Zhao family and the Chi family, and no one pays attention to him even if he scolds the sky. Later, it was Chi Dazhu who drove him away with a stick - he was afraid that it would affect his daughter-in-law's womb.

After Chi Pozi returned to the village, he said that Chi Dazhu was not filial, and there were many credits for Chi Daliang, but he didn't say a lot of bad things about Chi Dazhu.

When Mrs. Chi came to the door again, Huang took her hand and told her daughter's suffering one by one, and Mrs. Chi was sneering on her face, and she found an excuse to run away.

Now that the Huang family is here, Orange plans to continue to pick up the stall and put it up. During this time, Songbai has always gone to the dock by herself, selling all the braised pork and braised vegetables that she and Lihua made at home.

But the money earned is less. But the pine and cypress are tired, and they have to work in the field every day when they come back. Not to mention reading, he has a lot less effort to talk with Orange.

Orange advised him to rest, but he would suffer if he was tired. But he worked hard, thinking that since he had decided to marry Orange, he would have to save some money—there would be more places for her family to have a child to spend.

If it's a girl, it's okay to say, just give more makeup in the future. If it's a boy, whatever, you have to send him to the school, that's a lot of money.

In his thoughts, he has long regarded oranges as his own family, and he has to plan for her.

Orange looked at a lot of sweet potatoes collected from the ground, and planned to press them into vermicelli to make hot and sour noodles to eat.

The vermicelli is delicious when fried and boiled. It's just that the process is a bit troublesome, and there is no tool for pressing vermicelli in the village, unlike a grinding disc that can be shared.

Chi Dazhu went to find Chi Dazhuan to order, he was in good spirits this month, even if his mother poured dirty water on him, it didn't affect the slightest.

Chi Dazhuan was a little embarrassed to see Chi Dazhu, not only did he not help his second brother during the Mid-Autumn Festival quarrel, but he also did not visit his second sister-in-law later. Yu didn't feel guilty at all, the second brother on the left and the second brother on the right.

Chi Dazhu didn't want to worry about his younger brother, he knew that his younger brother was an unassertive person and listened to his daughter-in-law in everything. But after the craft, he didn't want to go to the town anymore.

The orange took advantage of this effort to wash and grind the sweet potatoes into flour, and it took a long time to do it badly, digging a spoonful with a spoon and tasting tender, slippery, and with a sweet taste. After the big bricks are laid, the noodles will be pressed officially.

This is different from modern vermicelli machines, which require two or three people to press together. The funnel is pierced into a hole the thickness of chopsticks, and the vermicelli leaks from there.

The vermicelli she made is soft and tough, soft and strong, and the appearance is also crystal clear, uniform in thickness and shiny. Even if it is roasted on the fire, it tastes very fragrant.

After the vermicelli was ready, she began to make hot and sour noodles, using the juice of braised pork to make the soup base, cooking the vermicelli and taking it out, pouring a thick soup base, sprinkled with coriander, chopped green onions, crushed peanuts, garlic, vinegar, and the least chili oil.

Hot and sour noodles should taste numb, spicy, fragrant, fresh and sour, and the soup should be red and bright, oily but not greasy. Hemp can't be bitter, spicy can't be dry, fresh needs to be pure, sour can't spasm, and the fragrance can be thick to have an endless aftertaste.

Don't look at this as the most common snack on the street, but it is the most test of a chef's skills.

She presented a bowl to everyone, and everyone quickly finished it, and each went to eat a second bowl. Chi Dazhu and Zhao He drank the soup completely, and after drinking it, they chirped and said, "This must be easy to sell, even the soup is so fresh." ”

Chen smiled and said, "Why don't you think this mouth is delicious?" Why don't you eat your pot today? ”

Chi Dazhu was not annoyed, patted his head and went into the kitchen to take it by himself, no wonder he felt that something was missing from his mouth.

Orange covered her mouth and laughed at her father, she didn't know why someone loved to eat pot so much. But when she thought of being able to make a pot, she remembered that she could also make cakes and eat them. The baked oil cake is a thin layer, soaked in the hot and sour noodle soup, and the deliciousness of the soup is very delicious.
