Chapter 11: The Rain Turns Clear
"Sister, isn't Le'er doing badly?" The little girl raised her head shyly from Yingle's arms, her sister had told her that when grandma came to grab things again, she couldn't stand and do nothing, let alone let grandma easily loot the things at home, but she couldn't stop fighting with her elders, in short, it probably meant that grandma could take some things away, but she couldn't let outsiders see that they didn't care about those things.
Since my sister often goes up the mountain to collect medicine, the food at home is enough to eat, and I can eat a meal of meat every three or five to satisfy my hunger, grandma comes to grab things again, she really doesn't care so much about the pain of meat, but the grievances and depression in her heart have not decreased at all, and the things at home are all exchanged for my sister going up the mountain to collect medicine, why does grandma just say hello and don't come to rob again and again.
"Sister, Baotai wants to eat fish, you promised to take me to the river to fish when you go down the mountain." The younger brother is so young that he still feels very sad when he thinks of the fish that was just snatched away by his milk, and he pulls Yingle's sleeve at this time, hoping that his sister can take him to catch two bigger fish.
"Okay, you are the most well-behaved, my sister loves you, and I will make delicious food for you later." Yingle touched the top of the two little heads, pulled his younger brothers and sisters out of the yard, and when he walked to the edge of the Bisi grass outside the fence, he squatted down and bent down to touch the black and pull out, and took out the two big mussels.
Ying Xiao looked at her sister with a face full of surprise and asked, "Is this delicious, shall we eat them tonight, will they be better than fish?" ”
"Silly girl, this is a sea mussel, the mussel meat can be eaten, but without the corresponding seasoning, it will not be delicious. Tonight, my sister will make the rest for you to eat, don't worry, it is guaranteed to be better than fish. ”
Who didn't have a gluttony when he was a child, and his sister didn't hate it at all, but felt very cute.
"Come, Baotai, take the sea mussels home, it's too late today, it will be dangerous to go to the river to fish, my sister promises to let you eat big fish tomorrow." The child's sadness came quickly, went faster, and Baotai, who was holding the sea mussel, ran happily to the house, shouting while running, "Mother, my sister brought me something good." ”
When the younger brother ran away, Ying Xiao followed her sister to the house slowly, and couldn't help but ask before stepping into the yard, "Sister, are you afraid that the sea mussels will be snatched away by your grandmother, so you deliberately left them behind and hid them while others were unprepared?" ”
Although I don't know what the sea mussel is precious, but since my sister chose to do this, there must be a sister's reason, the family can live today's life is the credit of my sister, as long as my sister does it, it must be right, maybe she should learn more from her sister, and wait for the next time grandma comes back to deal with it more calmly, so that everything happens naturally without any flaws.
"Smart girl, when we go home and open the sea mussels, you will know why my sister is doing this." Yingle smiled and took her sister's hand home, and the big mussel in her arms was handed over to her sister to hold, if the Zhao family did not get a little sweetness, the relationship between the two families could not be maintained, for the sake of the family's life in the village, at present, she could only properly feed her grandmother.
After all, it is the original owner's grandmother, not an irrelevant outsider, blood and family affection cannot be severed, if those things can be exchanged for a peaceful and stable life for the family, Yingle will not be stingy, but this degree needs to be well grasped, she can't overfeed Zhao's appetite, let alone make grandma feel that everything is too easy.
"Miss, the slave maid has cleaned all the contents of the basket according to your instructions, and the ones that should be pickled have been salted according to the method you said, but there are still a few spiky balls that I don't know what to do."
Seeing Yingle come back, Yinwen hurriedly stepped forward to return, Shen was hiding in the bedroom at this time and crying sadly, every time the old lady came, the house was like locusts crossing the border, and everyone could not live in peace.
She was afraid of the Zhao family to death, and every time she heard that person's voice, she would hide out with Uncle Kui in advance, because the people in the village did not use the next person, and the old lady would sell her to people for silver for the first time she saw Yinwen.
"That's a sea urchin, cut out a small round hole at the top, take out the sea urchin meat inside, clean it, and then put it back in the shell and steam it to eat it directly, you go to the kitchen and steam it for your younger brothers and sisters for dinner."
After the order, Yingle was not at ease, or followed into the kitchen to guide Yinwen, and when the sea urchin was steamed, she shredded the washed kelp, and then beat three eggs to make a pot of kelp egg drop soup, fortunately, these eggs were not placed in the kitchen before, but were hidden elsewhere in advance, otherwise none of the younger brothers and sisters would want to eat it.
The two big iron pots on the stove were steaming, and Yinwen was instructed to continue to take care of them in the kitchen, Yingle went to the cellar and brought back rice and flour, the rice was used to steam rice, and the flour was dressed as a paste, wrapped in the pickled crabs, and told Yinwen to put on the oil pot, she wanted to make a fried crab for her family, and there was no sea fish and shrimp to eat tonight, but she didn't want her younger brothers and sisters to be wronged.
"Sister, can you eat it, it's so fragrant!" Baotai ran in like a little gluttonous cat, and kept coquettish around Yingle, Yingxiao also probed his brain outside the kitchen, took out a fried crab, and let his younger brothers and sisters eat it first.
Waiting for the meal to be served on the table, the two little ones happily started eating, Shen was still hiding in the house to wipe his tears, Yingle told Yinwen to take care of his younger brothers and sisters to eat, and opened the curtain and entered the inner room.
"Mother, the food is ready, if you don't eat it, it will be cold, and it's not the first time that grandma has come to our house to search for things, aren't you tired of crying like this every time?"
Holding Shen Linzhi's arm sticky and shaking a few times, Yingle heard Shen's crying for the time being, and hurriedly called Yinwen to bring hot water in, she twisted the hot handkerchief to clean Shen's face again, and coaxed her softly for a while, before letting her mother go out of the inner room to the outside hall to eat with everyone.
Send Yinwen to the kitchen to eat, and by the way, don't forget to bring a copy to Uncle Kui, who guards the door at night, and the family of four finally sat down in one place to eat.
The dining table is full of fresh things that have never been eaten, Shen Linzhi's originally depressed mood turned rainy after tasting the delicious taste of steamed sea urchin, the two little guys have completely forgotten the haze brought by their grandmother before, and happily sat at the table and ate hard, my sister did not deceive people, and really made them something more delicious than fish.
When the Yingle family enjoyed a delicious dinner, the Jin family compound in Luhe Village was a lively and joyful scene, Xiucai's son, who was studying in Luping Academy in the county seat, went home, and the Zhao family happily put all the delicious things at home on the dining table.
