Chapter 17 Grandma's family is here
Sure enough, as Xu Hui expected, the family didn't plan to catch the market today, but they didn't want to go fishing again, Xu Zhiyong wanted to pack up farm tools, Zhou Xiaomei planned to take her two sons up the mountain to pick some wild vegetables, and today coincided with Xu Jianwen's holiday.
"I'll take Huihui to make dumplings at home, and you all come back early at noon!"
Xu Jianlin not only promised happily, but also jumped very tall, there was such a snack at home, and several adults couldn't cry or laugh.
Deng Alian wanted to use radish or herbs to make the filling, and then chop a small piece of meat, Xu Hui insisted on using the wild vegetables picked yesterday, and Deng Alian only had to surrender unconditionally to her granddaughter in the end.
Because Xu Hui was too young, Deng Alian contracted the task of chopping the stuffing, Xu Hui asked her grandmother to help light a fire under the small pot stove, she scooped a small half spoon of lard, put some green onions and fried them to make a fragrance and then fished out the green onions.
After chopping the wild vegetables and meat filling, Deng Alian went to the noodles, Xu Hui used chopsticks to mix the meat filling and vegetables well, sprinkled with salt foam, chopped green onions, and cooked lard at some temperature, dripped a little sesame oil in the lard, and sprinkled some seasonings.
"Today's dumpling filling tastes really bright, and in the future, our family will make dumplings, and you will adjust the filling of the buns."
"Milk, I can usually help you cook! Don't look at me small, I can do a lot of things, and I can go to the ground with my parents! ”
The Xu family never expected Xu Hui to work in the field, as long as she took care of her body and didn't be remembered, the family would be content.
Always bored at home, how can you know what kind of business is good to do in the county and what kind of snacks to make money, Xu Hui dreams of going to the county town to visit.
Now the family is gradually accepting that they can cook, and if they find a suitable opportunity, they may be able to start a business.
To Deng Alian's surprise, her granddaughter not only made the dumplings fragrant, but also made dumplings decently, not slower than herself at all, and from time to time she would pinch a few dumplings with lace, which was skillful and fast.
It seems like...... It's like I used to do this a lot.
"Auntie, Xiaomei, Huihui, are you at home?" Someone shouted outside the gate.
Deng Alian took off her apron, wiped her hands on a dry cloth, and went out to open the door: "Boyang daughter-in-law, you are here!" Did you come on foot? I'm tired of such a long journey! Come in and rest! Dongshu has grown taller, and she is getting more and more like a big girl, come into the courtyard, Huihui, your aunt and cousin are here, come out to greet you! ”
Xu Hui had already seen the two people come in, but she didn't know what the relationship between these two people and the Xu family was, so she didn't dare to go out, and now that grandma told her about the relationship between the person who came and herself, Xu Hui hurriedly ran out and called sweetly: "Auntie, cousin!" ”
"Huihui, has the wound on your head healed, your grandmother and grandfather have been thinking about it, let me and your cousin come over today to have a look!" Xu Hui's aunt's name is Sun Xiang, and the girl next to her is Xu Hui's cousin, named Zhou Dongshu.
"Thank you, grandparents, and aunt, cousin, the wound on my head has healed, and the scabs have fallen off!" Xu Hui lifted the hair on her forehead to show the two of them.
With such a deep wound, how long has it been for now! Sun Xiang and Zhou Dongshu looked very carefully, except for a scar that was slightly darker than the color of the flesh, they couldn't see anything.
Sun Xiang clasped his hands together: "Amitabha, God bless, our Huihui is a blessed child!" ”
"Huihui is so good, we can play together again, you know? Uncle is coming back soon, this time I can live at home for a month, and next time I leave, I will have to wait until I come back after participating in the meeting.
I really want to see my little uncle riding a tall horse through the streets, and I will definitely be able to charm a large number of women! "The person Zhou Dongshu admires the most is the uncle, he is handsome and knowledgeable!
Xu Hui responded to her cousin with a smile, she didn't know much about her grandmother's family, and she didn't dare to interject at will. The little uncle, who was full of praise from everyone, was also full of curiosity and wanted to meet him.
Sun Xiang's mother and daughter brought an old hen, a big rooster, two pig's trotters, and two packets of brown sugar. These things should be worth a lot of money, which shows that the grandmother's family is really good to Xu Hui, a granddaughter.
Unexpectedly, she accidentally crossed into a group pet, Xu Hui felt happy in her heart: "Auntie, my cousin has walked such a long way, you must be thirsty, I'll scoop some water for you to drink!" ”
"Huihui, you rest, I know where the water tank is, I'll scoop the water!" Zhou Dongshu got up and ran to the kitchen.
"You are guests, I am the little host, I should entertain the guests, cousin sit down and rest!" Xu Hui was the only daughter in the family in her previous life, without brothers and sisters, she was a little uncomfortable when she first came to the Xu family, and after a few days, she had found a trick to get along with a large family.
When the water scoop went out, Xu Hui had already added a few drops of spring water to it, hoping to help her aunt and cousin eliminate the fatigue along the way.
Sun Xiang took two sips of the water scoop, smacked her lips and lowered her head to drink again, Zhou Dongshu asked her mother if the water served by her cousin was extraordinarily sweet, otherwise how could it be endless.
"Don't say it, the water brought by Huihui is sweeter than yours!" Sun Xiang took another sip and handed the ladle to her daughter.
How sweet can a cold water be, Zhou Dongshu wanted to take a sip, and then sarcastically kissed his mother, but he didn't expect to drink the remaining half of the scoop of water without paying attention.
"I'm embarrassed to say that you're not the same!" Sun Xiang turned her head and asked Xu Hui if she wanted to go to her grandmother's house for a few days.
Zhou Dongshu turned the water scoop over and over again and looked at it a few times, why did this happen? Why is the water served by my cousin so sweet! She took a scoop into the kitchen to scoop water, tasted a few sips and told a few people: "The water I scoop is indeed not as sweet as my cousin's scoop, and it doesn't matter if people don't look as good as my cousin, even the water bullies me!" ”
Xu Hui couldn't argue with this, and she couldn't tell the truth, and after about half an hour, the people who worked came back, and Deng Alian went into the kitchen to cook dumplings.
"Are you going to eat any dumplings today?" Xu Jianlin looked at the dumplings on the plate and asked.
Because they didn't know that there would be guests at first, Deng Alian and Xu Hui made dumplings according to their family's meals, Deng Alian thought about bringing out an extra plate for her granddaughter, and the child was hungry at night, or she could eat it tomorrow morning.
Now that there are two more people, it's good to be able to eat enough dumplings, but you can't eat them openly!
Xu Hui pulled the second brother's sleeve under the table, and said that half the eldest child eats the poor old man, if he is allowed to eat with his belly open, where will the eldest aunt and cousin be embarrassed to stretch out their chopsticks.
Xu Jianwen was a few years older after all, and he stretched out his foot and kicked his younger brother: "Xiao Linzi and I are not very hungry when we burn wild eggs on the mountain!" ”
When are they going to eat wild eggs? Without waiting for Xu Jianlin to speak, Deng Alian introduced to Sun Xiang: "Taste it, the dumpling filling is Huihui Spice, you can smell the fragrance when you adjust the filling, and it should taste good." "You must know that the child's maternal aunt is here, and it would be good to chop some more vegetables, but now I can only eat evenly.
