Chapter 46: Chicken Soup
Lin Shuang felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, this was originally because Doudou was not accepted, so he took it and handed it to Grandpa Qin, so he originally thought that Grandpa Qin would accept it, and then transfer it to Doudou. "Why do you want Doudou to agree, can't Grandpa Qin help you collect it?" That saves you the hassle. This is the result of the labor of two people together, and in the middle, Doudou also spent the White Rabbit toffee to let those leather children help catch the cicadas together. If you look at it this way, Lin Shuang still takes advantage of the equal division.
Grandpa Qin waved his hand with a smile: "This money is Doudou's earnings, of course, Doudou has the final say." ”
There was no way, Lin Shuang had to take the money and go to Doudou again, so that Doudou was willing to accept the money: "Sister, put this money here first, and I'll buy you a flower to wear!" Lin Shuang nodded. Lin Shuang's hair has grown long now, and if it grows longer, it will be able to pass through the armpits. Now I have to ask Liu Xiaoying to help comb my hair every day.
When Doudou is fine, he likes to help Lin Shuangtong with his hair. But Lin Shuang felt that it was very troublesome for his hair to grow, and when it was hot in summer, it was very hot and uncomfortable for his hair to be on top of it. So I always thought about cutting my hair, but Liu Xiaoying disagreed. Originally, Lin Shuang ran out every day, and his skin was already tanned. And as soon as you take off your clothes, black and white are clear. This is going to cut your hair short and go out, is this a little girl or a little boy?
Finally figured out the money, Lin Shuang ran home, and when she came out today, Liu Xiaoying told her to go home early.
Why go home early? Because today the Lin family killed a rooster. Originally, Jiangnan was the habit of stewing boy chicken on dog days to replenish the body. In addition, Lin Zhihong injured his leg, so Grandma Lin specially caught a little rooster to make up for Lin Zhihong's body. So early in the morning, Liu Xiaoying cleaned up the little rooster and put it in the pot and stewed it slowly.
"Shuangshuang is back, help Mom deliver something to your grandparents." Liu Xiaoying handed Lin Shuang a small vegetable basket, which contained a white large sea bowl, and a plate was buckled on top of the large sea bowl.
"Hey, you see!" Lin Shuang ran away with the vegetable basket, and Liu Xiaoying chased after her and shouted: "You help me watch out, be careful that the soup is spilled!" ”
It didn't take a few minutes for the Lin family's old mansion to walk over, so Lin Shuang arrived safely before the chicken soup spilled out. Before he entered the door, Lin Shuang shouted: "Grandpa, grandma, I'm here!" "First put the big bowl on the table carefully, and then ran into the stove to find Grandma Lin. According to the habits of the two, as long as Grandpa Lin is at home, he will help Grandma Lin light the fire. Sure enough, I ran to see that Grandpa Lin was lighting a fire for Grandma Lin.
"Grandpa, Mom asked me to bring me a bowl of chicken soup. I put it on the table in front of me! ”
"It's just a little rooster, and your mother told you to send some. Do you have enough to eat yourself? I want to tell your dad to eat more meat and drink some soup! Grandma Lin began to read again. However, this is also the motherly heart of the elderly, who always feels that his son is injured and has to make up for it, and if he doesn't eat for nothing, he won't make up for it.
Grandma Lin ran to see how much soup had been served, but as soon as she opened the plate, she saw two big chicken thighs lying in the golden chicken soup. "Shuangshuang, why did your mother bring the chicken legs? Hurry up and bring it back for your daddy! Lin Shuang didn't know what was in the bowl, but Lin Shuang didn't have a greedy eye.
"Grandma, don't bring it around, the soup will be wasted if it is spilled. Besides, Mom will eat you, so you can eat more! and make up for your body. Lin Shuang felt that he should go, so he asked Grandma Lin to pour the chicken soup into her bowl and prepare to go back to her house to drink the chicken soup.
After removing the two chicken thighs, there are only two chicken wings and a little meat left, and under Liu Xiaoying's distribution, two large pieces of chicken breast were eaten by Lin Zhihong, and Liu Xiaoying and Lin Shuang each had one chicken wing. Then the three of them drank all the chicken soup. Liu Xiaoying smiled when she saw the clean bottom of the plate: "I was still thinking, if the chicken soup can't be drunk, I will eat chicken noodle soup tomorrow, but I didn't expect that the combat effectiveness of the three of us is good." ”
Lin Shuang touched his belly and felt that he could still eat some, the chicken soup and rice tasted really good. Lin Shuang used to love braised meat gravy to buy rice, and on the day of the red winding pork, Lin Shuang used the gravy to buy rice, and he could eat two bowls of rice without side dishes. Today, everyone's appetite is like suddenly being opened, the food is gone, and the dishes are also eaten. So Lin Shuang could only touch his belly to express regret.
After eating, a family of three enjoyed the shade at the door of their home. As he spoke, Lin Shuang fell asleep on his stomach. Lin Zhihong saw that the time had not woken her up for a long time, and was ready to wake her up when he was going to take a bath. Liu Xiaoying went to the field in the afternoon to cut a few sweet reeds. After cutting it down, cut it into small sections, rinse it again, and put it in the well to hang it in a town, so that it tastes more refreshing.
Sweet reed is a variant of sorghum, thinner than sugar cane and longer than sugar cane. There are two types: green skin and red skin. This thing is easy to grow, usually in front of the house and behind the house, on the ridge of the field, and on the riverside. Just be careful when eating, a careless epidermis can cut your fingers, and if you often eat sweet reeds, there is no one who has not hurt your hand.
This thing was originally prepared for Lin Shuang and Doudou, but I didn't expect Doudou to come over today, and Lin Shuang also went to bed early, so it became a pastime for Lin Zhihong and Liu Xiaoying to enjoy the cold. Liu Xiaoying picked up a section, took a bite, and felt good: "This year's sweet reeds are quite sweet." There are still a lot of land at home, and tomorrow I will cut some and pick them up to sell in the city. ”
Since Liu Xiaoying lost her job, she has taken Lin Shuang to sell things. As long as it is produced on the ground at home, Liu Xiaoying wants to sell it to make money. Sweet reeds are only cultivated by people who have land in the countryside, and people in the city also like to eat them, but they have no land, so they can only buy and eat them. Speaking of which, the Lin family has sold a lot of early-maturing varieties this year. Like early peaches, sweet reeds and the like.
"Xiaoying, how much debt does the family still have? Otherwise, I'll make some small benches or something, and you can pick them up and sell them in the market. Lin Zhihong is also anxious, more than half of the year has passed, and there are still a lot of debts left. Now that others don't come to the door to ask for it, it doesn't mean that the New Year is better.
Liu Xiaoying thought for a while: "When we came back, didn't the Luo family send us on the train and gave us several bags of food." I found a bag of money inside a bag of food. It's five hundred. I'll keep all the money. So far, our family has 1,220 yuan for a long time. I thought, I really can't do it, take the 500 pieces on top first. ”
Lin Zhihong thought about it for a while: "Okay, then go to the top first." You pick up those who need to be in need first, and pay them back first. I'll ask Ming Ming to help me get some wood tomorrow. I can't do anything else, but I can still do a small bench and a small backrest stool. When the time comes, you will always want to sell it in the market. ”
"Well, it's a good day these days, I'll dry some vegetables, whether it's dried greens, dried beans, or dried alfalfa, it's all good things. Now that it's sunburned, it's going to be sold in the fall, and someone will definitely want it. "Liu Xiaoying is also willing to endure hardships. Drying vegetables looks simple, but it costs a lot of physical effort.
