Chapter Twenty-Four: The Aroma Fills the Nose
"Brother, why are you here?" My sister shouted.
"Son, are you hungry, Mom will clean it up." Mother greeted her and said with a distressed face.
When Zhang Heng heard this, he couldn't help choking a little, he was the sky in his mother's psychology, he knew that the reason why his mother had never remarried, and the hard work was all because of his son, otherwise in that situation, whether the mother remarried or ran away, no one in the village would gossip, and they would only say bad things about their father. Maybe there is still a mother who still loves her father deeply!
Zhang Heng thought of the squad leader again, and when the squad leader became his daughter-in-law in the future, he would definitely take care of his family and be a good husband, and ...... Good Father!
"Son, what are you thinking, do you want to buy something, you are your mother's baby son, if you want to use money, you can speak directly, and your mother doesn't earn money to spend for you." Mother spoke up again.
Zhang Heng came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "No, I just miss you." The coquettish look was naturally revealed.
When the mother heard this, she couldn't help laughing and scolding: "I'm eighteen years old, why are I still as sticky as a milk baby." When he said that, his face was filled with joy.
Zhang Heng's psychology is also warm, he really wants to be by his mother's side all the time, whether it is praise or scolding, he really feels at home with his mother by his side, and he is not a little grass that no one loves!
"Mom, I'll clean it up for you." The meat on the stone slab of the stall is basically sold out, but there is a piece of meat left next to it as usual, which is reserved for my family to eat, but I don't know if my mother and sister used to do the same.
"Son, don't move, it's all putty, Mom will clean it up." Mother pushed and didn't let Zhang Heng help.
Zhang Heng had no choice but to stand aside, and saw his mother and sister quickly put the knife hook into the small back basket, and Suo took advantage of this effort to say out: "Mom, Xiaoyi, I just wrapped Ye Erba'er, and I have already put it in the pot, and I can eat it when I go back and steam it." ”
"Brother, you're really good, but don't go into the kitchen in the future." My sister's eyes lit up.
The mother also said to the helper: "Son, your sister is right, boys can't go into the kitchen all the time, men should look like men, otherwise you will have to bear the daughter-in-law in the future." ”
Zhang Heng was helpless, his mother, as a traditional woman in the village, also cultivated her sister in this direction, and it was impossible for the traditional rural woman's thinking to change, and she didn't argue, so she interjected the topic and said: "I know, Mom, when I went out just now, I met the woman from the next family who came to our house, saying that her two children wanted to eat Ba'er, and I answered the word and served it when Ba'er was steamed." As he spoke, he probably told his mother what had just happened.
When the mother heard this, she said with a straight face: "Son, you did the right thing, that woman's surname is Chen, everyone calls her Xiao Chen, she is not yet thirty years old, and she is also a hard-working person, a few years ago, her man had to divorce, quarreling every day, and then the marriage was divorced, and the two children sentenced her, and the man in his family originally gave 800 yuan in alimony every month, but he ran away after only two months." ”
After a pause, the mother said: "Xiao Chen used to do chores in the restaurant, and now he can't work with his two children, so he rides a tricycle out to collect waste every day, by the way, her two children are twins, only two years old, during the day, Xiao Chen put the two children on the tricycle, pulled them out to collect waste together, and also picked up some plastic bottles to sell." ”
When Zhang Heng heard this, he was immediately furious, what he hated most was this kind of man who abandoned his wife and children, his fists couldn't help but make a crisp sound of bones, and his face began to become hideous, but he immediately stopped his emotional divergence, he didn't want his mother to see his violent side, so he eased his emotions and asked: "Then why didn't she go to the court to sue that man." ”
The mother shook her head and sighed: "Mom doesn't know about this, I guess Xiao Chen doesn't want to go." ”
Zhang Heng also sighed, isn't this the same situation as his mother back then, and asked, "Then she can also go back to her parents' house." ”
The mother shook her head again and said, "Mom doesn't know, there is always some reason." He added: "That's the situation, they are all neighbors, our family can usually help, son, you deserve this well, and my mother is also happy." ”
Zhang Heng couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, hearing his mother's praise was as sweet as eating honey!
Not long after, the stall was cleaned up, the family happily returned to the yard, the sister then cleaned up, stored the remaining unsold meat in the Xiaoice box, the mother took the pork specially left and cut it, originally there was still a lot of thigh meat left at home, but the mother insisted on making him braised pork, Zhang Heng had to rush to wash rice and cook rice sweetly, and by the way, he also steamed the rice.
After about ten minutes, a white mist-like steam came out of the pot, and a thick fresh smell filled the kitchen, which was the smell of leaves, which actually overwhelmed the original fragrance of Ba'er.
"This tastes so good, son, you have suffered in your hometown all these years, your parents have not been around since you were a child, you have to do all the work, so you are so good at cooking." Mother wiped away tears as she spoke.
Zhang Heng's face turned red suddenly, his grandmother hurt him, not to mention the rest, the number of times he cooks is really not much, his cooking skills are quite average, this fragrance is completely because of the leaves, and it has nothing to do with his half a dime.
Seeing his mother like this, he hurriedly comforted: "Mom, I didn't suffer, Mom, you see that I have grown to one meter eight." ”
"Hehe, yes, in the blink of an eye, son, you are eighteen years old, you are a handsome young man, but you have lost a little weight, and you will have to eat more meat at every meal in the future." Mother sneered.
After a few more minutes, the fragrance became stronger and stronger, and the filling of Ye'erba was fried, and you only needed to steam the dough outside to eat, which was very fast.
"It's almost time to go, it's so fragrant, Mom wants to eat a few." The mother said happily, and then lifted the lid of the pot, and suddenly the heat gushed up and the fragrance became even stronger.
The mother opened one with chopsticks and said with a smile: "It's too hearty, you can eat it." ”
Zhang Heng responded: "I'll go and call Xiaoyi." With that, he ran to the tool room.
――――――――――――
"It's delicious, it's so delicious, it's better than all the poops I've eaten before, brother, you're so good." My sister swallowed hard and said happily.
"yes, it's much better than what is sold outside." Mother chimed in.
Zhang Heng picked up one and took a bite, and he was happy for a while, because he sold six outside at first, and he tried one, compared the taste, and now the pork filling in his hand has a strong fragrance, this is the smell of leaves, I don't know how many times stronger than glaze leaves, I smell it, and I want to eat it.
swallowed a few bites and said loudly: "Mom, Xiaoyi, you are trying this to see if the taste is better." Zhang Heng was referring to more than a dozen thigh-filled dumplings next to him.
