Chapter 42 Grandchildren
Fee Chapter (12 points)
The second watch, ask for pink.
The eldest grandson of the Lian family, and it is the autumn harvest again, so this lunch is naturally much more abundant than usual. Zhang, Zhao and He were all busy in the kitchen, and Lian Zhi'er, Lian Man'er and Lian Ye'er also had to help, picking beans, peeling potatoes, and lighting the fire. Zhou personally supervised and commanded, Zhang was the busiest, she had the best knife skills, she was responsible for cutting vegetables, and she also had to stir-fry.
The front and back doors of the upper room were wide open, and the smoke and aroma of the stir-fry spread far away, and almost everyone had a smile on their faces.
Finally, there is a cold dish with shredded cucumber mixed with shredded tofu, three hot dishes: a shredded potato with green pepper, a fried chili pepper with dried tofu, a stewed potato and eggplant with pork belly, and a soup with pork skin slices and powdered soup, all served in a pot. This is an extremely rich meal in the ordinary Zhuang Chapter 42 of the ancestral and grandchildren's households. The staple food has also changed, no longer all coarse grains, and white noodles are added to the mixed noodles, which are steamed to make them more soft and delicious.
Men and women are still divided into two tables to eat, and the meals are all served on the table, and Gu Shicai, Jiang, Lian Hua'er, and Lian Duo'er eat from the West House.
Originally, there were many people eating, but with the addition of Jiang's, it was even more crowded. Lian Man'er took a bite of the nest and was about to pick up vegetables, when she suddenly smelled a fishy smell in her nose.
Lian Man'er turned her head to look at Xiao Qi next to her, and Xiao Qi wrinkled her nose, indicating that he also smelled it. The two of them bowed their heads at the smell, and it turned out to be Lian Ya'er, who was sitting in front of them, and stretched out their two little feet from under the table.
Lian Man'er wanted to open her mouth and let Lian Ya'er shrink her feet, they sat on the kang to eat, they all sat cross-legged, and there was no reason to straighten their legs and stretch their feet in front of others. However, look at Ho is unreasonable. Then don't blame her for being rude.
Lian Man'er took advantage of people's inattention, took chopsticks, and poked Lian Ya'er's feet fiercely.
I heard Lian Ya'er scream, and almost didn't overturn the dinner table.
"What's going on, what's going on?"
"Foot, who poked my foot." Even Ya'er cried in pain and shrunk her feet.
Zhou Shi lowered his head and saw it, and immediately reprimanded Ya'er Chapter 42 Ancestor Sun Why are you sitting there, and there are more and more rules. Zhou spoke, sniffled, looked at Lian Ya'er's feet again, and reprimanded He, "Ya'er's feet are ripe, you can also wear two more pairs of socks for her, now it is decent." ”
Ho not.
Lian Man'er quietly put down her chopsticks and only scooped vegetables with a soup spoon to eat.
"It's time to call Grandma Li Si to come and wrap Ya'er a second time." Zhou said again.
"Just wrap her up. The buds wrapped around this foot can bear the mouth, but it is a lot smaller. He quickly sandwiched a piece of fat to Lian Ya'er, and then gave another piece.
Jiang sat next to Gu, who was Gu's niece, with a melon seed face, big eyes, and thinly curved eyebrows. Now she is feeding Niuniu without saying a word, and Niuniu is eating rice porridge that has been boiled separately. While feeding Niuniu, Jiang ate bite by bite.
Soon after eating, everyone was busy cleaning up the table, dishes and chopsticks.
Lian Hua'er still sat on the kang and discussed with Lian Xiu about the old girl, and Duo'er and I will come to you to be your companion at night. ”
"Okay, I told you to sleep." Lian Xiu'er was very happy, "The step-ancestors are them, and your house can't accommodate so many people." ”
After a nap, the family still has to work in the fields. He said that he would wrap Lian Ya'er's feet, so he would not go to the field. Zhou nodded, and asked Old Man Lian again.
Even the old man didn't say anything, but just greeted Lian Jizu.
"Step-ancestor, you go to the ground with your grandfather."
Lian Jizu looked at Lian Shouren and hurriedly nodded and agreed.
Among the people who worked in the fields, there was one less He and one more Lian step-ancestor. If you want to work in the field, you can't wear straight clothes. Lian Jizu took off his straight emblem, Jiang opened the suitcase, took out a half-new muslin trouser gown, and changed it for Lian Jizu, it seems that he has been prepared for a long time.
"Step ancestor, go down to the field and do more work for your father." Before going out, Lian Shouren also instructed Lian Jizu.
On the way to the fields, I also met many people in the same village who were working in the fields, and everyone greeted each other, and they all said the same thing.
"Oh, step-grandfather."
"Scholars also work in the fields, and even the uncle/eldest brother is a blessed person."
Even the old man laughed, especially happy.
"Brother step-grande will work, don't skip words. Lian Man'er walked behind and asked Lian Zhi'er in a low voice.
"You'll be there later." Lian Zhi'er refused to say, just covered her mouth and smiled.
When he arrived in the field, Old Man Lian asked Lian Jizu to take a sickle and cut sorghum next to him. Because of Lian Zhi'er's strange attitude, Lian Man'er paid attention to Lian Jizu while working. Lian Jizu wielded a scythe, and he couldn't keep up with the speed of the old man Lian. After a closer look, I saw that the famous hall turned out to be that even the old man had cut the sorghum of the ridge of the step-ancestor in front, and even the faithful on the other side of the step-ancestor also helped cut a lot.
"It's ...... The one who played that came out of that. Lian Man'er was a little speechless.
"The master is just to show everyone, he used to be an uncle, and then his step-brother was a little older, and the uncle didn't even want to do this, and he sent his step-brother every time." Lian Zhi'er whispered.
The two of them were whispering, and they heard Lian Jizu sigh.
"Step-ancestor, what's the matter, step-ancestor." Lian Shouxin hurriedly threw down the work in his hand and rushed to Lian Jizu's side.
Lian Jizu stood on one leg with a painful expression on his face.
"Fourth uncle, my foot and neck are broken."
"What's the matter, isn't it amazing?" Even the old man put down his work and asked.
"It's okay, master, I can still work." Lian Jizu bravely landed his broken foot on the ground, but immediately there was an oops, and his body was a stumbling body.
Everyone was in front of them, and of course they wouldn't let him fall.
"Why do you work when your foot is broken, Dad, why don't you let your step-ancestor rest." Lian Shouxin proposed.
Even the old man didn't answer immediately.
"Yes, the step-ancestor is a scholar, Dad, you see which scholar can do the work in the field." Lian Shouyi said with a grin.
"Yes, let the step-grandfather." Lian Shou Lidao.
Even the step-ancestor refused, saying that he would continue to help the old man Lian work, and even Shouxin was persuaded by the side. said that even the step-ancestor's injury was not light, and he had to rest.
"Dad, let the step-grandfather." The crowd pleaded.
"Come on, then you step-ancestor, rest well, Erlang, you help your step-ancestor." Even the old man finally said.
In this way, Lian Jizu leaned on Lian Jiaerlang's body and limped.
This, Lian Man'er was embarrassed, and she couldn't help laughing from time to time, she was despised in a row, and she was successively belittled by Lian Zhi'er, Zhang's and Lian Shouxin's eyes.
The next day after breakfast, I had to go down to the field again. Even the step-ancestor lost his foot, so naturally he couldn't go. He said that Lian Ya'er had just wrapped her feet for the second time, and she wanted to stay at home to take care of Lian Ya'er.
"Let Xiu'er take care of it, there are so many at home, and you can't take care of Ya'er?" He dismissed it without even raising his head.
On this day, I still went to the field in the north and cut the millet. The stalk of millet shall be slender than that of sorghum, and the ears shall be long and scattered.
"This year's millet grows well." Zhang twisted a millet grain and said happily.
The rice that has been husked from the millet is commonly known as the big yellow rice here, which is different from the small yellow rice after the millet is hulled. Rhubarb rice is sticky, generally left until the winter, the rhubarb rice is finely ground into noodles, and then mixed with some millet noodles and small yellow rice noodles according to a certain proportion, synthetic noodles are made into skins, and small beans are breaded inside, that is, red bean paste, made into sticky bean buns, commonly known as dumplings. This sticky dumpling can be used as a winter ration for the rural people here.
Lian Man'er remembers that this kind of rhubarb rice is very nutritious, and the best way to eat it is to eat it with beans, which can comprehensively supplement nutrition, is good for the stomach, can strengthen the body, and is also very suitable for children to eat when they are growing and developing.
That's really good, Lian Man'er thought to herself.
The millet ears after the rice grains have been removed are also useful, and they are the raw material for tying brooms. The brooms they usually use to sweep the floor and sweep the kang are made of this. Lianjia also has a large broom, which is made of bamboo branches, not locally produced, and is considered rare.
"My sister-in-law is like a fairy, she eats a little bit every time she eats." Lian Zhi'er and Lian Man'er work together, and they inevitably have to chat. This time, the topic is Jiang's.
"Sister Hua'er, auntie, they also eat less." Lian Man'er said. "It should be that I am not used to eating whole grains."
"I saw Duo'er eating snacks behind someone's back." Xiao Qi said.
Lian Man'er thought, looking at what Old Man Lian meant, was to ask the big family to live in the village permanently. They are not used to eating coarse grains, and they can get by by eating snacks for a day or two.
When it was time to rest again, Lian Man'er went to pick up the jug. She thought it would take some effort, but she picked it up all at once. The jug is very lightweight. Lian Man'er shook the jug and opened the lid of the jug, only to find that there was no water in it at all.
"Who took the jug in the morning, why did you forget to fill it?" Lian Man'er said
"In the morning, it's a jug filled by the second uncle." Gorou said.
"Why didn't you fill it with water, didn't it spill it on the road?" He said with a big grin.
"Second uncle, this jar is dry inside and out." Lian Man'er said, if he had filled it with water in the morning, he would never have done this.
He snorted and picked up the jug from Lian Man'er's hand.
"I'll go home and fill it with water." He took the jug and was about to go back.
"Old 2, you stand down." Even the old man called to stop He, "Let Man'er and Wulang go." Let's wait for the water to be delivered and then rest. ”
He was unwilling, but he didn't dare to quarrel with Old Man Lian.
Even the rules of the house, when you get to the ground, no one can leave without the words of the old man. Lian Man'er, even the old man He is lazy, afraid that she will not be able to go from time to time, so he let her and Wulang go.
"Go and get back quickly, on the way." Zhang instructed.
Lian Man'er and Gorou hugged the jug and walked home.
As soon as she entered the door of Lian's house, Lian Man'er smelled the aroma of oil.
"It's too early to cook, and besides, what is this doing, why are you willing to use so much oil?"
