4. Buns

The little girl looks very cute, speaks with a little grievance, and her voice is glutinous, which makes Tong Xue feel soft in her heart, looking at this situation, I'm afraid it's not just that if you don't like it.

Thinking of the reason why Xu Wenda would take his younger brothers and sisters out before, Tong Xue's heart sank, I am afraid that this village is taboo with the rumors of this fateful people.

But all dragon and phoenix twins are basically regarded as auspicious signs, and I don't know what is going on in this Qingshan Village.

But the little girl is a little girl after all, so she shifted her attention to other places after a while, pulled Tong Xue's sleeve and said, "Sister-in-law, what will you do." ”

"Sister-in-law will do a lot." Touching Xu Jing's head, Tong Xue planned to do a big job, so that the Xu family, especially Xu Wenda, could see her craftsmanship.

Unexpectedly, the stove room was empty, only a handful of green vegetables and a piece of tofu, and a few eggs, she thought she knew a little bit why Tong Yu didn't marry.

It is said that it is a stove room, but in fact it is an earthen stove, and then there is a tent outside, which is covered with thatch, and the basic shelter from the wind and rain can not be done, and it is estimated that it can only block the sun a little, which is very simple.

Looking at Tong Xue's stunned appearance, a trace of discomfort flashed on Xu Wan's face, although this sister-in-law was faked by the Tong family, but what her family did in this matter was also inappropriate.

But in the final analysis, it is still poor and troublesome, Xu Wan avoided Tong Xue's gaze and explained, "The people in the village don't want to have anything to do with our family, so they don't need to set up a banquet, so they cut a piece of meat, and Aunt Liu next door sent ten eggs, ready to buy a table for the family, and the second brother took it when he went to find the third grandfather just now." ”

Tong Xue nodded to indicate that she understood, asking someone to do something, to understand human relations, and to send something should be, but looking at the current situation in the kitchen, her mood was really unhappy.

Tong Xue pulled the corners of her mouth with difficulty and smiled, Tong Xue felt that if she could see her expression at this moment, she would definitely be able to see a stiff and distorted face, "It's okay, we can eat something else." ”

Thinking of the porridge in Tong Xue's memory that can never be drunk and can shine on people's faces, there is at least green vegetables and tofu here, and the quality of life and level can be regarded as a leap.

Xu Wan nodded, seeing that Tong Xue was not picky, she had a little good impression of this sister-in-law, "There are still some sweet potatoes, potatoes and grains, but you have to save them." Now is the time when the green and yellow are not harvested, the summer grain has not yet been confiscated, and the stored grain has almost been eaten, so it is necessary to save. ”

Xu Wan walked to the front of the noodle bowl and scooped out two bowls of noodles, Tong Xue saw that the noodle bowl was about to bottom out, only to hear Xu Wan say in a cheerful tone, "But today is the day when the eldest brother and sister-in-law get married, let's eat a bun, and I have already made the noodles." ”

Then I heard the cheers of my two children behind me, and it was clear that this meal was an improvement in their food.

Making buns is not a difficult thing for Tong Xue, so she immediately rolled up her sleeves and began to make friends.

Tong Xue looked at the eggs, thinking that there were still some tender leeks outside the yard, and immediately decided to make buns filled with leeks and eggs today.

Working together is a thing that can promote people's feelings, and when the bamboo grate bun is slowly pinched, Tong Xue has already understood a little bit of the basic situation of the Xu family.

When Xu Wenda took his younger brothers and sisters out of the house, although he didn't get anything except this dilapidated house called the ancestral house, with Xu Wenda's ability, life was not difficult.

After all, the treatment of Xiucai in the current dynasty is good, each Xiucai is exempt from taxes of ten acres of land, and can also receive one or two silver per month for meals, and in addition to the work of copying books for people, in the first two years of taking his younger siblings out, he also saved two acres of land, although it is not much, but it is exempt from taxes, and it is enough to live.

Therefore, although the Xu family looks thinner, it is much better than Tong Xue's thin and malnourished state, after all, people can eat enough.

But since Xu Wenda fell ill, the money he received every month was still not enough for Xu Wenda's medical treatment, and the conditions at home became tight and unsustainable.

Tong Xue watched Xu Wan put the buns into the steamer, kneading the remaining bit of dough in her hand, asked Xu Wan for a small handful of cornmeal, added a little water and kneaded them together, kneaded them into two long pieces, rolled them into the shape of a rabbit, and used chopsticks to pinch out the ears, a dough rabbit was formed, and she was busy with her hands, and she didn't forget to ask, "Your eldest brother...... What the hell is he sick? ”

Speaking of her eldest brother's illness, Xu Wan was much less happy to eat steamed buns, "At first, it was said that it was typhoid fever, and it was no big deal, but I kept taking medicine, but I didn't get better, but it became more and more strict." ”

"Typhoid fever?" Tong Xue was holding black beans and pressing them on top of the rabbit to make eyes for the rabbit, when she heard Xu Wan's words, she hit her hand and the beans fell to the ground.

Looking at the five brothers and sisters of the Xu family, only Xu Wenda was sick, and he was sick for a long time, and everyone else was fine, this typhoid fever should not be the typhoid fever she thought.

Tong Xue asked, "Didn't you change the doctor and take a look?" ”

Xu Wan replied sullenly, "I have already found the best doctor in the county, but it is still useless." ”

Xu Jing followed all the way to the kitchen like a little tail from the beginning, a little clumsy to help Tong Xue and them wrap the buns, unexpectedly, Xu Jing actually wrapped the buns with wood and looked very good, the little hand grabbed the buns, and the filling did not spill out at all, but it was too slow.

But don't worry, Tong Xue didn't really expect her to help a lot.

Since the buns were put into the pot, Xu Jing has been staring at the dough on Tong Xue's hand, watching the dough turn into the shape of a rabbit, his eyes are straight, and his eyes move back and forth with Tong Xue's hand.

When Xu Jing looked at the eyes of the two black beans pressed on the rabbit, a trace of joy flashed in her eyes, and her bright eyes looked at Tong Xue with great anticipation, "Sister-in-law, is this little rabbit for me?" ”

Looking at the few buns that had not yet been put in, Tong Xue pointed, "When the next cage comes, we will steam this little rabbit for you to reward you for helping your sister-in-law and your sister today." ”

Xu Jing stared at the bun for a long time, looked up at Tong Xue with a smile, this sister-in-law, she likes it, unlike those people in the village, not only does she not hate her, but also makes her a little rabbit, "It's so good-looking." ”

With the buns, Tong Xue also cut the tofu on the table, dripping some sesame oil, accompanied by a shallot, which looked quite appetizing.

As soon as the buns came out of the pot, Tong Xue saw Xu Wenyuan coming in in a hurry, and said hello from afar, "Wenyuan is back, is the matter done?" ”

Xu Wenyuan looked very bad, and he didn't know if he had encountered something in the Tong family, but he still responded with a dark face, "Hmm." ”
