Chapter 63: Praying Mantis Egg Mass

Tian Qingqing: "Tie it up, my brother and I will carry a small bundle each." ”

Tian Youqiu: "Where's the rope?" We didn't bring it, did we? ”

"There's a way." Tian Qingqing untied his trouser belt, flattened the waistband of his trousers, and pulled it down, and his pants couldn't fall off.

At this time, the countryside wore home-made pants with a waistband, and the waistband was very long. In order to let the child hold the waist, some trouser waists can reach the armpits. You can pull two or three laps down.

Seeing this, Tian Youqiu also concocted the same method.

Two small piles of dead branches were tied.

"Brother, you carry a basket on your back, and your brother carries a small bundle on your back, hurry up. You leave the basket and come back to pick me up. I carried a small bundle on my back, walked for a while, and then came back to carry my sister. In this way, we will leave in one trip, and we will not lose it. Tian Qingqing commanded.

"Sister, I'll go with you." Tian Youchun said with a little face.

Tian Qingqing: "No. You walked slowly, and when my brother came back, he picked you up? Or pick me up? You carry a dry stick (dry branches) on your back and hurry away, you can't keep up with your brother, you're just behind, you can't follow me anyway. ”

"Qingqing is right. Let's go first, and I'll come back to pick them up. Seeing the harvest, Tian Youqiu seemed very happy.

The two brothers, one after the other, left the woods.

This is what Tian Qingqing wants. In this way, it seems that there is a lot of firewood to be picked up, which makes the parents happy. It also strengthened Tian Youqiu's sense of responsibility.

After seeing Tian Youqiu and Tian Youchun, Tian Qingqing put the bundle of branches into the space, and only walked back with Tian Miaomiao on his back. When he saw Tian Youqiu, who came back to answer, he took it out of the space.

Two small bundles and a basket, put together, really look like a pile. Tian Qingqing was overjoyed. -- So that you can tell your parents that they don't have to worry about burning firewood.

By noon, the children were gone. Tian Youqiu couldn't wait to let Tian Qingqing, who was cooking lunch, burn mantis egg masses.

Tian Qingqing put the branch with the mantis egg masses into the stove fire, which was already burning very hot, and barbecued.

It didn't take much effort, and there was a rich aroma coming from the bottom of the stove, as if it was the fragrance of someone frying things during the New Year, which was very tempting.

Because the branches are wet, when the branches are burned, the mantis eggs are ripe. If it falls, quickly use other branches to clip it out.

"Okay, brother, let's all come and get it." Tian Qingqing shouted.

Tian Youqiu also smelled the aroma, walked out of the courtyard house, picked up a black mantis egg mass that had been burned, opened it, and rows of burned golden eggs appeared inside, where did the aroma come from.

Tian Youqiu picked up a worm egg and threw it into his mouth, and in an instant, the fragrance filled his mouth, it was too fragrant, and it was so delicious! Why didn't you find such a delicious thing before?! "Well, it's so delicious!"

Tian Youchun also had the same expression, as if he was eating a delicious delicacy in the world.

"Qingqing, you find us something delicious. Sue me, how do you know? Tian Youqiu got up to the bottom of the matter.

"I saw that the little uncle was burning. At that time, it smelled good. ”

Tian Qingqing had already thought of the answer. When I was at my grandmother's house, she was almost all responsible for the fire, which everyone knew. Tian Youqiu does not wait to see his little uncle, and will never go to verify the implementation.

There are a total of eight praying mantis egg masses (praying mantis eggs are very scattered, and if you find eight at a time, you are already very lucky), Tian Qingqing saw that the brothers were happy to eat, and she was afraid that they would rob and eat them, so she also followed Hao Lanxin's example, and gave one to Tian Youqiu and Tian Youchun each.

So the two brothers would have two each. She asked for one, leaving one for Tian Miaomiao and one for her father and mother (Tian Miaomiao was sleeping at this time). Eight mantis eggs were distributed.

"Will our mom and dad eat this?" Tian Youqiu asked with a puzzled look.

"Why don't you eat it? You eat deliciously, but Mom and Dad don't eat it well? ”

In his previous life, his father died young due to selling blood, and his mother suffered from esophageal cancer in her later years. In order to increase nutrition for her mother, Tian Qingqing bought a stack of various recipe books, filled the refrigerator with eggs, milk, meat, and delicacies, and cooked for her mother in different ways, but her mother couldn't swallow the food when she saw it, and in the last days, she could only rely on infusion to maintain her life.

This time, I chose to travel back to my childhood, just to make up for the regrets of my previous life, honor my parents, and let my parents live a good life. Since the moment of crossing, Tian Qingqing has laid the ideological foundation: from now on, do your best to help your parents with housework, share your worries, and let your parents taste the delicious food in the world that they can find!

When Tian Dalin and Hao Lanxin came back from work, they saw a pile of dry branches at the gate of the yard, and they were very happy to know that they had picked them up by the children.

"I didn't expect to be able to pick up dry branches in the spring? Now we have firewood to burn. Hao Lanxin said happily.

"Uh-huh. I'm not going to shave red bumps anymore. Tian Dalin was also excited.

After the parents washed their hands and faces, Tian Qingqing took out two burnt mantis egg masses, crushed the shell on his hands, took out the golden eggs inside, put a pinch in Tian Dalin's mouth, and then put a pinch in Hao Lanxin's mouth, and said: "Dad, Mom, this is a praying mantis egg, it's delicious, you all taste it." ”

The couple ate what their eldest daughter put in their mouths, and they were both intoxicated. Hao Lanxin chewed and said happily: "Well, well, it's delicious, it's really fragrant, it's better than meat." ”

"Then you eat some more." Tian Qingqing said, crushing the shell of the other one and dividing the egg into two halves.

"Don't give it all to us, eat it too." Hao Lanxin wanted to dodge, but Tian Qingqing was willing to let go, holding her head with one hand and sending the eggs into her mouth with the other. Then he smiled and said, "We've all eaten, and this is for you and Dad." As he spoke, he put another handful in his hand into Tian Dalin's mouth.

How many mantis egg masses can you have? What's more, this is what children eat and play with. Seeing that the children are still kept by the adults, it shows that the children are filial and always have adults in their hearts, and it is a blessing to meet such children. Both couples had happy smiles on their faces.

"There aren't many mantis egg masses, and they have to go up trees. Don't look for it, just pick it up. After waiting for the wheat, I will lead you to touch the ghosts, and it is also delicious. Tian Dalin said happily.

When he saw that the children were so interested in wild meat, he couldn't help but think of the scene when he was a child. These years have not been smooth, and I have forgotten my innocence and childlike fun. I haven't taken the children to touch the ghost once, and I haven't picked a praying mantis egg mass! Now the children have found it themselves, and it is left for the adults to taste. Tian Dalin felt a little embarrassed.
