Chapter 19: Don't Praise Me
Aunt Wang's craftsmanship is very good, basically the housewives in the countryside have such skills, and they can make all kinds of tricks from those relatively ordinary ingredients.
Ah Xiu and her kitchen compared fish and chili peppers for a long time, and finally made a pot of red and bright real "boiled" fish, Ah Xiu felt that he had done his best.
Because she calculated a lot and forgot a little, this oil is a very precious existence in ordinary families, and when Aunt Wang took out her own bowl of oil, Ah Xiu couldn't talk about the step when she got to her mouth.
The last step of boiling fish is to pour it directly with a large pot of hot oil, but in this way, Aunt Wang's year's oil will be used up by this dish.
Ah Xiu just wanted to eat in his heart, and he was embarrassed to do such a thing, so he could only comfort himself with the ten taels of silver hidden under the bed.
Sister is also a big money now, and she will have the opportunity to eat boiled fish in the future.
"Is that the spicy fish you said?" Aunt Wang sniffed it and smiled: "It's really fragrant, but it costs a little more oil." ”
When Ah Xiu heard this, her heart dripped blood again, and this was just a little stir-fried pepper, so she said that it cost oil, and she didn't use the whole pot of oil inhumanely, so that it was Aunt Wang who wanted to drip blood.
"It's Auntie, your craftsmanship is good." Ah Xiu tried to make himself smile naturally, and took a step back to think, although he didn't eat the boiled fish he was thinking about, it was a good thing to be able to open meat!
Ah Xiu thought that she had been so picky recently, it must have been because Gu Yi raised her mouth some time ago.
Sure enough, she is still happy to be a simple country girl, and any meat is a reward from God!
"What else do you want to eat, tell your aunt." Seeing that Ah Xiu was so happy, the big stone in Aunt Wang's heart could be regarded as falling.
"Auntie just stir-fry a few dishes, and I'll go and see Xiaohuzi's wound again." Now that the fish is finished, Ah Xiu has no nostalgia for the kitchen.
"Okay, you go and take a look, if you still need any medicine, you can tell me directly, I heard that there are a lot of good medicinal materials on the mountain opposite us, and after a few days of busy work, I will let my big tiger go and take a look." Aunt Wang thought that there was nothing to change the medicine in this house, and she had heard the old man say that there were many good medicinal materials on the opposite mountain.
It's just that in recent years, it has been rumored that many people have gone up the mountain and disappeared, and no one dares to go anymore.
But if it's for Xiaohuzi, no matter how scary it is on the mountain, she is not afraid.
"There are medicinal herbs on the mountain? Didn't you say there were tigers? Ah Xiu asked with some curiosity, she was warned by the people in the village since she was a child, that mountain is a very terrible existence, many men went to the mountain to collect medicine in order to subsidize the family, but never came back.
Since several years ago, no one in the entire village has dared to climb that hill.
"It seems to be such a saying, but when my father was young, he often went to the mountains to dig up some easily identifiable herbs, and he didn't see any tigers." Aunt Wang said casually.
She didn't think it was wrong, but Ah Xiu always felt weird, was there something hidden here.
It's just that although she has curiosity, it's not heavy, especially since she knows her strength very well, and a secret place like this is obviously not suitable for her, a weak girl who is powerless.
"There must be a reason for the incident, and this rumor must also have some basis, auntie, it's better not to call Uncle Huzi." Ah Xiu couldn't help but remind that maybe there was a more terrifying existence than a tiger on the mountain.
"I know, I'll just say it."
When Ah Xiu heard this, he went to Xiaohuzi's room with confidence.
Xiaohuzi is eight years old this year, but he looks like a child of five or six years old, and he looks very thin.
Especially now that there are injuries on his body, the whole person looks even more pitiful.
Ah Xiu thought about the previous time, Aunt Wang still wanted her to be a child daughter-in-law for Xiaohuzi, and she suddenly felt a little coke.
"How do you feel now?" Ah Xiu sat on the stool on the side and looked at him carefully in the sunlight.
Compared with Aunt Wang and Wang Dahu's somewhat rugged appearance, Xiaohuzi is obviously a lot more delicate, but his skin is sallow and sallow, with obvious nutrition**.
Although Aunt Wang's family background is not very good, the conditions in this countryside are basically like this, why is Xiaohuzi so weak.
"It's much better, Sister Xie Lu, Sister Xie Axiu." Xiaohuzi was a little shy, probably rarely going out, and when he talked to Ah Xiu, he still had a hint of blush on his face.
"In the future, you can go out to play more and exercise your body." When Ah Xiu was talking to Xiaohuzi, he unconsciously brought a hint of a doctor's tone.
When Xiaohuzi heard this, his eyes suddenly dimmed: "They don't want to play with me." ”
He is now eight years old, and usually an eight-year-old child already helps the family with farm work, and when he is not working, he goes into the water to catch fish and go up to the tree to dig birds' eggs, which he can't do.
Even if he went into the water to play with his friends, he couldn't do it.
Everyone in the village called him sick seedlings behind his back, and no one wanted to play with a sick seedling.
"That's because they're afraid you'll get hurt."
You must know that Aunt Lu Dao Wang'er is famous in the village, if anyone makes Xiaohuzi accidentally injured, it will definitely be stripped of a layer of skin, no wonder people dare not play with him.
"I'm too weak." Xiaohuzi's whole person was depressed, and he also knew that he didn't know anything, and he could only drag others down if he went to play.
"Yes." Ah Xiu nodded in agreement: "Look at you, you are eight years old, and you look younger than other people's six years old." Ah Xiu's tone was very unkind, which made Xiaohuzi, who was still a little sad, cheer up all of a sudden.
"But aren't you twelve years old, and you don't look much taller than those ten-year-old girls!" Not to be outdone, Xiaohuzi retorted that he had thought she would comfort him.
Obviously, just now on her, there is a feeling that people feel very comfortable and want to be close.
"How many girls have you seen, and you dare to say such a thing, let me tell you, this twelve-year-old girl is just like me." Ah Xiu made a gesture on himself, to know that before he crossed over, it was also a good figure that was convex and backward, and when he got here, it was all tears when he thought about it!
"You lie to people...... Xiaohuzi argued with a red face: "My mother clearly said that Ah Xiu looks quite marked, that is, people are too petite, I am afraid that it will be more difficult to have children in the future." Xiaohuzi imitated Aunt Wang's somewhat regretful tone and said.
Ah Xiu felt that her face was full of black lines, Aunt Wang, do you think I will be happy if you praise me like this?!
