The Yan family

The couple fell silent with their own concerns, Yan Xiong glanced at his father and mother strangely, did not dare to interject, silently held the wooden basin, and prepared to go to the kitchen to change the water.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, he heard a noise at the courtyard door, and a moment later, a tall figure he was familiar with appeared in front of him.

bang

The wooden basin fell to the ground, but Yan Xiong ignored it, turned around and ran back to the room with a surprised face.

"Father, mother, the second brother is back, and Jiangzi is also back."

Shocked for a while, hearing that his son (nephew) had returned, Chen couldn't care about her husband anymore, so he got up and ran out of the door, Yan Changlin was also in good spirits, and he forced himself to get out of bed, and Yan Xiong hurriedly stepped forward to help.

It's just that before he moved out of the room, the Yan Kui brothers helped Chen to turn the room, looking at the bloodstained second son and the safe nephew Yan Jiang, Yan Changlin only felt depressed in his chest, and most of the time went in an instant, and his throat shook for a long time before he squeezed out a few good words.

"Good, good, good........."

…………

After a small half of the incense, Yan Changlin and his wife stabilized their emotions, returned to their original positions, and dragged Yan Kui and his brothers to tell them about the trip.

At this time, Sun Hong and his entourage also rushed to Yan's house, and when they heard this, they immediately moved to the small bench with great interest, ready to learn about Yan Kui's heroic deeds of breaking into the bandit's lair alone.

Yan Kui couldn't shirk it, so he picked up a few key points and listened to everyone, his eloquence was not bad, and he talked about the ups and downs of saving Yan Jiang and killing the bandits, and in the end, even Yan Jiang and the fat man Guo Fu were fascinated.

"Okay, Erlang's trick to make the tiger leave the mountain is beautiful, you have to do things like this in the future, you don't use your tricks to do it, it's a wise man."

After Yan Kui told all the things that had happened, Sun Hong couldn't help but praise Yan Kui's strategy of setting fire to a gust of wind, and even praised him for his wisdom, Yan Kui smiled indifferently and accepted it calmly.

Everyone chatted for a while, the mood of excitement and joy was calm, Yan Changlin, who was still ill, showed fatigue, Sun Hong saw this, and took someone to say goodbye.

Yan Jiang didn't return overnight, he was afraid that his mother would worry, and he also wanted to go home to see, the fat man Guo Fu was still a little afraid of Yan Kui, and when he heard the words, he wanted to follow Yan Jiang home, and Yan Kui agreed.

Everyone left one after another, and after another stick of incense, Yan Changlin, who had unloaded his heart disease, fell asleep peacefully, Chen carefully closed the door and left the bedroom with his two sons.

…………

"Second child, you are saving people again, and you are in a hurry all night, you are hungry, go and change your clothes first, my mother will make you some food, rest well after eating, and sleep to slow down."

There is no mother in the world who doesn't hurt her child, out of the bedroom, looking at Yan Kui covered in blood, Chen couldn't help but feel sorry for his second son, and hurriedly asked Yan Kui to change his clothes and wash up, and he pulled the third Yan Xiong to the kitchen to get him food.

Yan Kui wanted to pull the old lady and let her rest after serving Yan Changlin all night, but he hadn't eaten for a long time, and his hungry gurgling stomach really didn't give him the courage to speak.

With a bitter smile helplessly, Yan Kui turned around and ran to his bedroom.

After rushing to the road in the middle of the night, the clothes on his body were already soaked in sweat, coupled with the blood stains splashed by a gust of wind and others, the two were intertwined, and they were sunburned by the morning sun, the smell, not to mention the refreshment.........

………

The house where Yan Kui's family lives is a typical Northern Jin Dynasty farmhouse courtyard, which is a little old and mottled as a whole, but it is neat and clean inside and out, and it can be seen that it has been carefully maintained on weekdays.

The outside of the courtyard is separated by several earthen walls, and inside is a wide courtyard, near the inner side of the courtyard is covered with three rooms, in the middle is the hall house, one large and one small room on the left and right, the smaller one is the dining room, and the larger one is the master bedroom of the house.

On the left and right sides of the courtyard, there are two other auxiliary houses, which are the residences of other members of the family, in addition, next to the dining room, there is also a simple kitchen, which is made of wood, which looks very solid, and there are some pots and pans and some vegetables, rice and noodles and seasonings and the like.

Further to the kitchen, there is a rainproof shed made of thatched wooden frames, which is stacked with dry firewood and some farm tools and sundries, which is regarded as the utility room of the family.

In the corner not far away, a small pigsty was built with stones, and two black-haired pigs, one large and one small, were playing in the arch of the earth.

At the other end of the yard, far away from the pigsty, there is a chicken coop made of a fence, in which seven or eight hens are nesting in the grass to lay eggs and forage for food, and the only rooster in the hen coop is running freely in the yard.

Yan Kui's residence is the zuofang in the west, at first it was the residence of the three brothers of their family, and later, Yan Zhen, the eldest of the Yan family, got married and moved to the east zuofang, and this westinghouse belonged to Yan Kui and Yan Xiong?

After that, Yan Kui went to the county seat, and this Westinghouse belonged to Yan Xiong alone, but every time Yan Kui went home, he would live here, so Westinghouse also always prepared Yan Kui's clothes and mattress.

………

He took the basin to the well to fetch some water, wiped his body briefly, Yan Kui changed into new clothes, packed the old clothes stained with blood, and prepared to find a place to throw them away.

Although Yan Kui was not superstitious, he still felt a little awkward wearing clothes stained with human blood.

Everything was cleaned up, Yan Kui went out of the bedroom, ran to the kitchen, and just arrived at the door, he watched Chen's cooking before and after being busy, and the third Yan Xiong squatted in front of the stove to add firewood to the fire.

Rolling up his sleeves, Yan Kui wanted to step forward to help, but was scolded back by Chen's two or three sentences, so he had to stand in front of the door and watch Chen's busy work.

I saw that Chen neatly sent Yan Kui to his home before, and cut off five or six catties of fresh pork that had been kept in the cellar, and divided it into two parts, one large and one small.

The small piece of pork is cut into meat slices, and then mixed with the stuffed sauce at home, stir-fried with oil in the pot, adding sauce, vinegar, salt, water, and then supplemented by dried bamboo shoots at home.

Another big piece of meat, even the whole piece of belt meat is thrown into the water, boiled until seven mature, take out the cold water, and then cut it into small pieces of meat of half an inch size, add sauce, salt, green onion and other seasonings, simmer in the earthen stove over slow fire, the finished product is similar to the braised pork in later generations, and the local area in Qingyuan County calls it stewed meat.

Chen knew that Yan Kui was hungry, so he fried the meat slices first, then gathered the firewood from the earthen stove, continued to simmer the meat pieces in the pot, got up and wiped his hands on the coarse cloth apron on his body, took a small bamboo basket, picked up six miscellaneous noodles from the drawer cage on the side, thought about it, and added two more.

instructed Yan Xiong to look at the stewed meat, hold the bamboo basket himself, let Yan Kui hold the fried pork slices, and the two walked to the dining room one after the other.

………

"You eat it first, and then make up for it casually, and then after two sticks of incense, the stewed meat is ready, and then call the third child to eat together." Chen put the dishes and rice on the table, poured another bowl of water for Yan Kui, and beckoned his second son to eat first.

are all members of his own family, plus he is really hungry, Yan Kui is not polite to Chen, he takes a nest head in his hand, picks up chopsticks, eats happily, and does not forget to give the old lady a thumbs up.

"Mother, it's so fragrant, it's still delicious for you to cook."

"Go, and I will coax my mother with good words."

Chen Shi took a sip on his mouth when he heard this, but his eyebrows couldn't stop bending.

After about half a burnt incense, Chen got up and went to the kitchen to bring the stewed meat that had been burned, and by the way, he called the old Sanyan Xiong, and the mother and the family had breakfast together.

Yan Kui's amount of food has been said before, it is an animal with four or five people, the third Yan Xiong, and now he is also the age when half of the eldest child eats Lao Tzu to death.

The two brothers worked hard together, and swept away these catties of meat and nearly twenty nests.

Chen was afraid that Yan Kui would not eat well, so he went to the kitchen again and boiled a pot of rice porridge, so that Yan Kui could be regarded as saying the same.

"Hoo ........."

Chen looked at the empty bowl and plate in front of him, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Every time the second son comes home, it is an uphill battle for himself.........
