Yu Xihua is cleaning up in the kitchen, since she came to help Yu Xiling, Yu Xihua has almost taken care of most of the housework at home and her grandmother's house, and she has work in her eyes, and there is almost no time to stop.

Seeing Yu Xiling put the beans on the stove and took the aluminum half-cut kettle hanging on the wall, she immediately knew that she was going to fry the beans, "Wait for me to add fire first." ”

At this time, the earthen stove in the countryside generally has three stove eyes, two large pots are used for stewing rice and stir-frying, and there is a small hole in the smallest place in the middle of the fire that is used to boil water.

I don't know how many times the aluminum pot has been mended, the bottom layer is thick, the upper half is cut off, and a spout is left to become a ready-made handle, and the bottom of the leaky pot becomes a small pan, which is best used to fry sesame beans, and occasionally it is also used to cook sweet potatoes.

Although Yu Xihua has a talent for cooking, it doesn't stop there, in the mid-80s, ordinary rural families rarely even saw meat stars a month, and the daily dishes were mostly green vegetables, stir-fried pickles, and dried vegetables, and it was difficult to make flowers without materials.

Even if there are materials, Yu Xihua is not good at doing, after all, there is too little knowledge, the fried beans in the countryside are directly dry fried, although they are also crispy and delicious, but Yu Xiling makes a different soybean, she makes soybeans with pepper and salt, and the zero food is delicious and especially delicious, all of them are crunchy and crispy, and there is a taste.

Salt and pepper are also made by Yu Xiling herself, Yu Xihua feels that her cousin is simply omnipotent, nothing is impossible, she not only lives better than at home at her grandfather's house, but even can learn things that she can never learn or see in the circle of her life.

The beans are washed and spread into the boiled aluminum pot, slowly rotate to let each soybean be evenly heated, fry the water, and then turn it quickly, and after a while, you can hear the crackling sound of the soybean exploding, and then turn a few times and sprinkle in the pepper and salt, shake well away from the fire, and the fragrant fried soybeans are done.

Grandpa Yu waited when he heard the sound for a long time, opened the wine that he hadn't drunk during the New Year, poured a small glass under Grandma Yu's eyes, and the beans came out of the pot, and Yu Xiling really gave the old couple a plate first.

Yu Xi'an's pocket was full of beans, and she took Yu Xiling's hand and was about to go out to play, Yu Xiling couldn't coax her, the little girl hadn't gone out with her sister for a long time, and she just refused to let go.

Yu Xihua carefully put the remaining beans in the aluminum pot into the empty canned bottle that was washed and dried, and said softly with a smile when he saw this, "Xiling, you take An An out to play for a long time, and I will pick up the beans and soak them later." ”

"I'll take her out to play when I'm done." How could Yu Xiling push everything to Yu Xihua alone, seeing that Yu Xihua tried two flavors, he stopped reaching out, took out the empty canned bottle in the cupboard, and gave half of it to her, "What is given to you, just put it here and eat it yourself." ”

With Yu Xihua's character, she must be reluctant to eat alone, but take it home, let alone one, she can't even smell it, and it's not like nothing like this has happened before, Yu Xiling made delicious food for Yu Xihua, and in a blink of an eye, they were all confiscated by Aunt Yu, and she turned around and asked Yu Xihua to come again, or if she didn't go back, she would be beaten and scolded.

"I don't want it." Yu Xihua blushed, she tasted it, where is it good to eat and take, these soybeans are bought at the grain station in the town, not grown at home, that is, they are happy and generous, so they will be fried as snacks.

Yu Xiling didn't allow her to refuse, turned her head and coaxed Yu Xi'an softly, promising to take her out to play later, Yu Xi'an got a positive answer, and immediately stopped making trouble, holding her little cloth pocket and dragging her small bench to sit obediently and wait.

Knowing that she couldn't refuse, Yu Xihua whispered her thanks and put the bottle into the cupboard, this bottle of beans really couldn't be taken back, and her mother must not even let go of the bottle when she saw it.

Yu Xihua thought that in order to keep the bottle for Xiling, she couldn't take it home.

At this time, canned sugar water is a holiday gift, and empty canned bottles are even more useful.

I don't know if it's the obsession of not being able to eat canned food when I was a child, after Yu Xiling came back from rebirth, every time I went to the supply and marketing cooperative, I always loved to buy a bottle of canned sugar water and go home, and it didn't take long for there to be three or four empty canned bottles in the cupboard of the old house.

After the age of two, she has no memory, but since she has a memory, the canned food at home is considered a precious thing, and it has always been left for Ye Nuannuan's brothers and sisters to eat, occasionally their brothers and sisters can get a bottle, and they must be carefully divided into several times to eat, every lychee meat in the canned food has a home, you have one and I have one more for my mother.

At one point, she thought that canned sugar water was the best thing in the world.

In her last life, after she was completely financially independent, she could finally eat canned food as much as she wanted, and at that time, canned food also had a variety of choices, but it no longer had the taste of childhood.

Probably for psychological reasons, the current canned food tastes sweeter than the supermarket later.

After picking up the beans, Yu Xiling kept her promise and led Yu Xi'an to the village to play, Yu Xihua finished her work, and when she went home, she found that her mother didn't know where to lead her younger brother, thinking that Yu Xiling hadn't gone out much since she came back, so she took the initiative to show her the way, and carried the basket before going out.

People in the village now often go to Yu's house to buy tofu to improve their food, and naturally know that this tofu is made by Yu Xiling, and privately say that Grandpa Yu is lucky, and he has a granddaughter who is filial and filial, and his granddaughter is beautiful and capable and can make money.

If it weren't for Yu Xiling's age being too young, many aunts in the village would like to introduce her, and at this time, a girl who can have a skill is a sweet spot in everyone's eyes.

"Ouch, Huazi, this is your family's happy age, the little girl is really handsome."

"Xiling, I'm your ninth aunt, I hugged you when you were a child."

"Uncle Jianguo...... Aunt Jiu...... Fang Gu ......"

All the way was spent in greeting adults, and finally arrived at the edge of the small river ditch at the back of the village, Yu Xiling was sweating, the whole village was almost a little twisted and circumstantial, most of the grandfathers and grandparents were brothers or cousins, Yu Xiling shouted down, barely remembered a rough idea.

The small ditch behind the village is almost dry in winter, and it will be full of water in summer, and there are clumps of artemisia grass growing on the riverside, and the bottom of the ditch less than three meters is full of pebbles, and the children of the village love to come here to play, to catch small fish in the thin stream, and if you are lucky, you can also find eels under the big stones.

As soon as Yu Xi'an arrived at the edge of the small river ditch, she immediately surrounded several friends who were about the same age as her, Yu Xiling looked at Yu Xi'an and smiled at the soybeans for the friends, and did not stop it, Yu Xihua opened his mouth and said nothing.

She always felt that Yu Xiling was not good at being used to Xi'an, but she couldn't say what was wrong, obviously Xi'an had only been in the village for a long time, and she had a group of friends, of course, Grandma Yu led her around to play, but the biggest credit was the snacks that were never lacking in her small cloth pocket.

Zhuang Zhuang also followed her mother every day, but playing with the children in the village was either fighting or isolated, and over time Zhuang Zhuang did not like to come to the side of the ditch, often followed her mother to soak in the mother-in-law's pile and play with those three or four-year-old milk dolls, and her temper was also delicate, and she loved to cry at every turn.

Maybe something like Xi'an is right?

In fact, Xi'an is very measured, she has never brought out the canned candies that Yu Xiling bought for her, they are all filled with melon seeds, peanuts and fried soybeans, and she also has contacts with her friends, and she can often listen to her at home, eat the sweet grass roots dug by whom, and eat the sweet potato skins at whom's house.

Xi'an followed her friends to run all over the ditch after eating the beans, and when she turned around, she could see her sisters waiting for her on the edge of the ditch, and the little guy showed off to her friends that the beans were fried by her sister, which attracted everyone's envy.

Yu Xihua stayed idle for a while, carrying a basket to pull the fresh revolutionary grass on the opposite bank of the small river ditch, pulling it back to feed the pigs, and the pigs were sold.

"Sister Xihua, I'll help you." Yu Xiling also pondered raising two pigs, but unfortunately the piglets of the family where Aunt Yu caught the pigs were caught out of the slaughter, and they had to find them again.

The two sisters started together, and soon they filled the basket, and at this time, the village had already heard the sound of calling the baby home for dinner.

Yu Xiling was about to go home to Xi'an, when she saw the little girl walking towards her with a boy who was older than her with an indignant face, and the little boy was still wiping his eyes, and his face was crying.

The little boys were dressed plainly and even a little shabby, but compared to the children who ran around the ditch and got dirty, they were very pleasing and very handsome.

"What's going on?" Yu Xiling squatted down and gently wiped the tears from his face for him.

"They beat Gu Chen!" Yu Xi'an snorted angrily and complained to her sister.

Only then did Yu Xiling see the dirty marks behind Gu Chen, he should have been pushed by someone, and hurriedly reached out to pat him clean.

"They robbed Gu Chen's beans to eat, it's too bad! Sister, take Gu Chen home and give Gu Chen An's beans to eat. ”

Gu Chen was originally quite aggrieved, but when he heard Xi'an's indignant complaint, he immediately blushed, and pulled out his hand awkwardly, "Don't, I don't want it." ”

He is a little man, it is so embarrassing to cry because of a few soybeans, and now he has to comfort his younger sister and snatch her snacks, which is very inauthentic.

"Why not?" Yu Xi'an was very confused, tilted his head and asked Gu Chen, reaching out to hold his hand again, "I want it, I'll give it." ”

"Don't."

"......" Yu Xiling.

Yu Xi'an's beans were not given out in the end, Gu Chen's mother came to call her home for dinner, and the moment Yu Xiling saw Jiang Sihua, Teacher Jiang almost broke out, and when he touched the strange smile in the other party's eyes, he was instantly blocked in his throat.

She remembered that Jiang Sihua only went to the primary school as a substitute teacher when she was in the sixth grade, and now there are still a few years before she enters the sixth grade, and Jiang Sihua still doesn't know her.

However, she remembered that Jiang Sihua was married in the town, how could she be in the Yu family ancestral hall, is there a family surnamed Gu in their village?

"Cousin, who is she?" On the way back, Yu Xiling asked.

A hint of contempt flashed in Yu Xihua's eyes, but she still told Jiang Sihua's origin, and Yu Xiling knew that she would meet Jiang Sihua in the Yu family ancestral hall, and she also remembered that very important thing that she had never remembered.
