CHAPTER XX
People sometimes don't have a face, they really do everything, Du Qiyue thought that Du Fujin's family would at least rest for a day or two after a war of words in the field, but he misestimated Du Fujin's thickness. Before noon, Du Fujin and Zhang Guihua asked the gold lock and the silver lock to roll up to his house with the bed, saying that they wanted to stay and help Du Qiyue take care of the house.
"Help me look after the house?" Du Qiyue was chopping pork, and when he heard the words of the golden lock and the silver lock, he turned his head to look at them and asked, "Do you believe this yourself?" ”
The two of them knew in their hearts that their father and mother wanted to take advantage of Du Qiyue's advantage to be poked in the back, so this morning Du Fujin and Zhang Guihua went to find Liu Momo's family to quarrel when the two of them stood aside and did nothing.
Silver Lock lowered his eyes and stumbled, "My brother and I... We don't want to come, it's my mother smoking... Pulling us over, she originally wanted Brother Yu to come with Tongsuo, but the two of us didn't want to take them, so we didn't come. ”
"Xiaoyue, we, don't blame us." Jin Suo hugged the cover in his hand tightly, full of shame, to be honest, although the relationship between Du Qiyue's family and their family was not good, but Du Fugui and Zhao Qing were very good to their children when they were alive in the past, Du Fugui would often bring a little leftover snacks from the restaurant, and when they met the two brothers playing in the village, they would stuff a little in their pockets. If there was a merchant in the village, as long as Zhao Qing went to buy something and saw their brother, he would always give them a few copper plates to buy delicious and fun. Now the two of them came to help their family occupy Du Qiyue's house, Jin Suo felt that he was not a human being when he thought about it, and the cover in his hand was even heavier like a thousand catties of stones, pressing on his body, so that he couldn't move.
Du Qiyue knew that the golden lock and the silver lock were good, but they were also embarrassed by such a father and mother, so he said: "It stands to reason that you are my brother, your house is tight, and I have no reason to disagree if you want to move in for a while." But you also know the idea of the uncle and the aunt, yesterday the copper lock also brought a group of children to visit our house, if I let you live in, your family will probably have to live in a few days. Gold lock and silver lock, what is the relationship between my family and your family, how is my uncle and aunt to me, you also know in your hearts, do you think I can let you live in? ”
The gold lock and the silver lock were even more embarrassed, and the two of them rubbed their feet against each other, unable to raise their heads in shame, and their mouths were open but they couldn't say a word.
"It's time to eat, and the eldest aunt rushed you over and probably didn't cook a meal for the two of you, so let's have lunch here, and go back after eating, if your father and mother are angry, let them come to me to make trouble." Anyway, I can't let you live in. Du Qiyue said.
The golden lock suddenly pulled the silver lock and walked out, saying at the same time: "Xiaoyue, let's go back!" ”
"What are you going to go, stay and eat first, I made lotus root clips today, chopped a lot of meat, and left to eat before leaving. Even if you two go home and have something to eat, you will be scolded by your aunt, how can you eat comfortably? Stay, stay. Du Qiyue saw that they were leaving, and hurriedly stopped the two, he and Du Fujin and Zhang Guihua did not deal with each other, and it had little to do with the gold lock and silver lock, so it was estimated that it would be difficult to meet in the future. Besides, he lives in this village, two more brothers can help him more, the golden lock and the silver lock seem to be sensible now, Du Qiyue has a good relationship with them now, and when they are older, if they don't change, they will take care of him.
Yinsuo is two years younger than Jinsuo, and his mind is simpler, just now he was a little greedy when he saw the meat chopped by Du Qiyue, and now he saw that Du Qiyue not only didn't blame them but also left them to eat, and his two feet couldn't walk as if they had roots. He grabbed the golden lock that still wanted to leave and begged: "Brother, brother, stay and eat, I saw it when I came just now, my mother didn't cook our meal, and I didn't have anything to eat when I went back." ”
"You glutton!" Jin Suo was actually greedy, and he didn't leave as soon as he was pulled by his younger brother, but he was embarrassed to pull the silver lock and said to Du Qiyue: "Xiao Yue, let's do some work, we can't eat you for nothing." The silver lock is good for the fire, and I will help you wash the vegetables and chop wood. ”
Du Qiyue still understood this little self-esteem of teenagers, so he nodded and said, "Then you two hurry up and help me work, I'll make the meal quickly." ”
"Alas!"
"Here's it!"
The two brothers immediately came to their hearts, one louder than the other deserved, and both of them thought that there was nothing to be embarrassed about working for a big meat meal.
The golden lock has great strength, and was called by Du Qiyue, and then the meat he had chopped half just now continued to chop, and the silver lock was shouted by Du Qiyue to scrape the lotus root. Du Qiyue took flour and an egg herself, added water and stirred it evenly to make a batter, which she prepared to wrap on the lotus root for a while.
With the help of the two brothers of the gold lock and the silver lock, the speed was much faster, and after a while, the gold lock chopped the meat filling, and the silver lock also scraped the lotus root.
Du Qiyue took the skin of the lotus root, carefully cut them into a lotus root clamp in the middle, and then stuffed the meat filling mixed with green onion and ginger seasoning into the middle of the lotus root clip. After stuffing all the meat, Du Qiyue wrapped the batter in the lotus root clips one by one, then heated the oil pan, put it in the lotus root clips and began to fry.
"It smells so good!" Silverlock twitched his nose and poked his head out from behind the stove, the strong smell of fried meat wafting through the kitchen, and Silverlock had swallowed several times when he smelled it.
Du Qiyue took the chopsticks and kept turning the lotus root clip in the oil pot that gradually began to turn yellow, and said to the silver lock: "You can eat it soon, you can add more firewood." ”
"Alas!" Yinsuo responded, quickly stuffed a straw into the stove, and kept inhaling the aroma and said: "Brother Xiaoyue, why are you making things so finely, it is eggs, flour and meat, my mother doesn't make such good things during the New Year." ”
"I happen to have a little lotus root at home, and I bought some pork yesterday, and I want to eat it once when I am greedy. I don't usually make such a delicate meal, who can afford to eat so well every day! Du Qiyue said as she flipped the lotus root clip.
After the lotus root in the pot was fried golden brown on both sides, Du Qiyue took one out and tasted it after blowing it cold. The lotus root is not stuffed with a lot of meat, it is completely cooked at this time, and the batter wrapped in the outer layer is crispy and crispy after being fried, but the lotus root is still a little soft and glutinous. The minced meat that was sandwiched in the middle splashed a little fragrant juice as soon as you bit into it, and it was delicious.
"Well, it tastes good, don't burn the fire in the silver lock, come out and eat the lotus root clip, don't chop wood in the golden lock, come in and eat." Du Qiyue ate the lotus root clip on the chopsticks in three bites, picked up the fence and scooped up all the fried lotus root clips in the pot at once, filtered off the oil and poured it into a large bowl on the side.
Yinsuo couldn't wait to reach out and grab one and stuff it into his mouth, but his tongue was burned and kept stuffing it into his mouth, and he shouted vaguely while eating: "It's delicious, it's delicious!" ”
When Jin Suo was chopping wood in the yard, he was swallowed by the fragrance, and he was happy to see Yin Suo eating, and he was immediately unwilling to take a piece, but he was much more reserved than Yin Suo, although he stuffed it into his mouth quickly, at least it didn't look like he was gobbling it up.
Brother Liu, who came to help cook after sulking, saw Du Qiyue and the three of them eating around the table as soon as he entered the kitchen, and the kitchen smelled so fragrant, Brother Liu moved his nose and ran to the table and asked, "Brother Xiaoyue, what are you eating?" ”
"Brother Liu is here, come and eat the freshly fried lotus root clip." Du Qiyue beckoned to him.
"Oh!" Brother Liu responded, and he also took a pair of chopsticks and took a big bite of the lotus root clip, "It's delicious, Brother Xiaoyue, what did you do?" ”
Du Qiyue licked the slag on his mouth and said, "Of course I made it, you eat it here, and I'll fry two dishes." ”
"I'll help you!" Brother Liu'er said with a mouth full of stuffs.
"Just eat you, Jin Suo helped me wash all the dishes just now, and fry it quickly." Du Qiyue waved his hand and said.
The two brothers, Jin Suo and Yin Suo, had a big meat meal at Du Qiyue's house, and then went home with a bed, and the family had just eaten when they entered the house. There was a bowl of pickles, four pancakes, and a small bowl of fried rice paste for Tie Suo on the table, and there was still a bowl of soup in front of the others, and sure enough, they didn't cook for the two of them. I don't know why, the little satisfaction that Jin Suo and Yin Suo had just felt because of eating a big meat rice all disappeared when they saw the food on the table.
"Why did you two get back?" Zhang Guihua saw two people standing at the door in a daze holding the bed, knocked the bowl hard with chopsticks, and asked with a displeased face.
"We have our own home, so why should we live in someone else's house?" Jin Suo said sullenly.
"That's it, how can this be true, isn't our family very good." Silverlock echoed.
"Look at our muddy house, I think it's good!" Du Fujin, who was originally snoring and drinking soup, threw the chopsticks in his hand on the ground when he heard this, and shouted: "Two stinky boys who don't know what to do, Lao Tzu asked you to live in Du Qiyue's house not for you, you will get married in two years, look at our family like this, will you take your mother-in-law to squeeze into a house like now in the future?" ”
"You two hurry back, don't make your father angry!" Zhang Guihua walked over and pushed the two of them and said.
Jin Suo twisted his body and shook off Zhang Guihua's hand, and said in a muffled voice: "I won't go, other people's houses may not be more than ours, and a few brothers who are married can live in our house." In the future, even if I build my own straw hut to live, I will not occupy other people's houses! ”
After finishing speaking, Jin Suo strode into the room, and Brother Yin followed behind and shouted: "Brother, brother, wait for me, I will also go back to the room." ”
"These two stinky boys, I'm so angry, it's really useless!" Du Fujin scolded, and when he saw Zhang Guihua stepping forward and wanting to persuade him, he threw his anger on Zhang Guihua again, and said: "It's all bad what you taught, you can't do anything except eat or eat!" ”
"Boss, don't blame them, it must be Du Qiyue's kid who kicked them out, and the two boys can't get over their faces. When we finish eating, we let Brother Yu and Tong Suo go over, and he can't chase them away. Zhang Guihua said.
"Daddy, daddy, let me go, I want to live in his house." Copper Lock stretched out his hand and said eagerly.
"It's still my copper lock." Zhang Guihua touched the head of the copper lock and praised it, and then instructed: "Wait a while, you and Brother Yu will stay in the courtyard of his house and don't leave, if Du Qiyue drives you or beats you, you will howl loudly, he is a scholar who loves face, you howl so badly, he can't do anything to your two little brothers." Brother Yu, did you hear that? ”
"Hmm." Brother Yu poked the thin soup in the bowl with chopsticks, and responded in a low voice, he actually didn't agree with Du Fujin and Zhang Guihua's ideas in his heart, but he also wanted to live in a good house and live a better life like other little brothers, so he hesitated to agree.
