Chapter 172: Eating Corn
In the room, Du Zhongkun turned off the lights, lay on the side of the bed again, and soon fell asleep.
Du Jingyi went out, looked at the messy room, sighed lightly, and said, "Brother, you and Xiaotao should go to sleep first, and I'll clean up the room." ”
Chen Weiche smiled: "I have a lot of energy, or I'll help you together." Originally, he could do it alone, but this is Du Jingyi's home, and Du Jingyi has to decide some things, such as where to put something, he doesn't know if it's not.
"Okay." Du Jingyi's heart warmed and nodded.
Du Xiaotao shouted: "Then I'll be together, I can't work for the two of you, I'll go to sleep alone, that's too unusual!" ”
"Hehe, when did the little brother become so sensible?" Du Jingyi touched her brother's hair lovingly and said with a smile.
"That's right, they've grown up!" Du Xiaotao raised his head and said proudly. Unbeknownst to him, this kid destroyed the two-person world of his sister and Chen Weiche.
Of course, Chen Weiche and Du Jingyi didn't blame him, they both laughed, of course, they didn't dare to laugh too much, for fear of affecting the rest of Du Jingyi's parents in the room. Then the three of them began to clean up and tidy up the things, and after tidying up in the living room, they tidied up the other rooms, and then went to clean the yard, because there were still many things in the yard that had been sent by the neighbors and elders, and they had to be put away and put away in different categories.
When they arrived in the courtyard, the three of them spoke a little louder.
"Xiao Tao, you move this corn to the kitchen!"
"Okay!" Du Xiaotao acted immediately, but as soon as he picked up the tender corn, smelled the fragrance of the raw corn, he couldn't help but "growl" in his stomach, and smiled at Chen Weiche and Du Jingyi with some embarrassment.
Du Jingyi smiled: "What a gluttonous monkey!" Well, the corn was peeled and boiled for supper. ”
Du Xiaotao defended: "Sister, you don't know, our family hasn't planted corn this year, you also know, I love to eat this since I was a child, and it's inevitable that I'll be a little ......."
Du Jingyi smiled lightly, patted his head, and said, "Okay, forgive you!" Go move the chairs! Du Xiaotao excitedly brought two chairs over, one for his sister and one for Chen Weiche, and he himself ran into the house, moved a small horse, and sat between the two with a smile, peeling corn.
Du Jingyi's chairs and small benches are made of good jujube wood on the mountain, very strong, heavy, and very comfortable to sit on, in line with ergonomics, this is the wisdom of the people, just imagine, those masters who make chairs who know the ergonomics of bullshit, they are all based on experience, as well as the wisdom passed down from generation to generation, know how to make chairs to make people sit comfortably, and at the same time beautiful and generous.
Du Jingyi was more sentimental, and she became sad when she peeled it, and said: "In the past, our family planted a lot of corn, and in summer and autumn, we couldn't eat it all, and my mother also sowed seeds in batches, divided into early, middle and late corn, so as to ensure that there was corn to eat from June and July in summer to October and November in autumn!" ”
Du Xiaotao was infinitely nostalgic, longing, and said: "Yes, think about how happy I was before, I love to eat corn the most, Brother Wei Che, do you like to eat corn?" ”
Chen Weiche smiled: "Of course I love to eat, corn is a thing, there are quite few people who don't like to eat it, and the corn here feels very fragrant, and the raw ones are very appetizing." ”
"That's it, it's also very sweet raw, I don't believe you taste it!" Du Xiaotao peeled off a tender yellow corn and handed it to Chen Weiche.
Du Jingyi hurriedly slapped his hand and said, "Your hands are dirty, you might as well eat it yourself!" ”
Du Xiaotao pursed his mouth, threw it into his mouth, showed an intoxicated look, and said to Chen Weiche: "Big brother, you can get one yourself to taste, my sister thinks I'm dirty, so she won't let me eat it for you!" ”
Du Jingyi said: "Are you dirty, don't let people say it?" ”
Chen Weiche laughed, and also learned from Du Xiaotao to peel off a grain of corn and throw it into his mouth, sure enough, as soon as he bit it, a sweet juice flowed out, and it tasted really good when eaten raw. Of course, you can only taste a small amount of raw food, and it is still not as delicious as cooked.
Peeling and peeling, I found a big bug, because this is the corn that the family grows and eats, basically no pesticides, it is normal to have insects, Chen Weiche is naturally not afraid of insects, and Du Jingyi is from the countryside, she has been doing farm work since she was a child, and she is naturally not afraid, Du Xiaotao was naughty, played with the insects for a while, and then fed the old hen sent by the neighbor's parents, and came back and said with a smile: "The chicken fell asleep, and I was a little unhappy to wake it up, and it wanted to peck me, but when I saw such a fat worm in my hand, Immediately cooing with excitement, I threw it, and it ate it in one bite! It's a pity that our family doesn't have chickens this year. ”
Du Jingyi said: "Mom is hospitalized, you can also catch a nest of chickens to raise, so you usually have eggs to eat!" ”
Then I told Chen Weiche about the interesting story when she was a child, at that time, her grandmother was still alive, and she would raise many chickens every year, and this chicken was hatched from her own eggs, the most interesting thing is that once, an old hen with a reed flower suddenly disappeared, and her grandmother thought that it was taken away by a weasel, and she was heartbroken, because this chicken has been raised for almost two years, and she is usually very well-behaved and has a spiritual surname.
As a result, more than a month later, when the rape flowers were in full bloom and the bees were "buzzing" and flying in the yard, the chicken suddenly came out of the pyre at the back of the house, followed by a dozen cute chicks, chirping, the kind of surprise that in the spring season, suddenly saw so many little lives, it is simply indescribable.
That's because the chicken secretly hid its eggs outside and then hatched them secretly.
Du Xiaotao said: "Sister, you don't know, it's more difficult to raise chickens now, not only weasels, but also the terrible chicken plague." This spring, I bought a dozen chickens from the town and came back to raise, but I went to school, and my father took care of my mother in the hospital, and the chickens were taken away by the weasel, but fortunately, the third uncle next door found out in time and saved the remaining seven or eight. It's a pity that these seven or eight chickens have been growing for a few months, and they are about to start laying eggs, and suddenly they all die of chicken plague! ”
Chen Weiche was shocked and said, "Could it be bird flu?" ”
Du Jingyi immediately asked nervously, "Have you eaten the dead chicken?" "In the countryside, chickens are reluctant to throw away when they die, even if they are chicken plague, they think that if they don't eat internal organs, plus high temperature disinfection, they should be fine, so they often eat dead chickens.
Du Xiaotao immediately said proudly: "Dad wants to eat, but I desperately stopped it, and I took it to the back mountain to bury it." Sister, you told me about bird flu, I remember it! ”
"Hehe, you kid is smart, now that bird flu is often outbreaking, don't eat dead chickens and dead ducks, if you find a chicken sick, deal with it as soon as possible." Or isolated. Tell you, this year, there was an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian flu in Qingshui, all the live poultry markets were closed, and many people were infected, and several died, thanks to your brother Wei Che who turned the tide! ”
Immediately, Du Jingyi told Chen Weiche's heroic deeds of curbing bird flu, she was articulate, perhaps she had often told stories to her younger brother since she was a child.
"Oh, oh no, according to what you say, sister, then, can we eat that old hen in the kitchen? Wouldn't it be a waste not to eat it? Du Xiaotao shouted.
Chen Weiche said with a smile: "I have seen that chicken, it is healthy and not sick, and there is no avian flu virus lurking, so you can rest assured!" ””
Du Xiaotao said in surprise: "Brother Wei Che, you can not only treat people, but also treat chickens?" Veterinarians have also studied? ”
Du Jingyi scolded: "How do you talk, what a veterinarian!" ”
Chen Weiche smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay, in fact, whether it's a human or a beast, the medical theory is almost the same, and this is the truth of one law." ”
Ordinary doctors naturally can't do it, but Chen Weiche's medical skills are superb, and he has reached a state of supernatural and back-to-basics, and it is naturally not a problem to check the health of a chicken.
Moreover, now that the avian flu has passed, otherwise they would not dare to eat local chickens and ducks.
After peeling the corn, let Du Xiaotao cook it in the kitchen and watch the fire, while Chen Weiche and Du Jingyi were cleaning outside, and after a while, the fragrance of corn wafted out, Du Xiaotao packed it in a bamboo basket, moved it out, and put it on the stones in the yard, and then the three of them sat around and ate the corn.
The sky is high and the moon is bright, the wind is clear and the stars are bright, although the mountain village is deserted, in fact, the scenery is pleasant, especially the starry sky, which is absolutely not seen in the city, Du Jingyi asked Du Xiaotao to take a few to his father, Du Xiaotao was very obedient, put five or six in a bowl, brought it in, came out and said that his father had fallen asleep, he quietly put the corn on the table, and then came out.
At night, Du Jingyi's mother woke up and wanted to drink water, Du Zhongkun heard the movement, woke up, smelled the fragrance of corn, turned on the light and looked, a pot of fragrant corn, golden in color, I thought it was my daughter who cooked it and put it here. couldn't help but be very pleased, fed his wife a little water, and then picked up a corn cob, peeled off one by one and fed his wife.
Du Jingyi's mother took Chen Weiche's medicine, was acupuncture again, slept for so long, and was hungry, she ate very deliciously, ate three in a row, and rarely ate at one time without throwing up.
At the same time, Du Zhongkun told his wife about his daughter, it was nothing more than that Ah Jing brought her boyfriend back, how should they deal with it, according to the common etiquette, they should give Chen Weiche some red envelopes, but now in this situation at home, Du Zhongkun is very ashamed.
