Chapter 286 A Few Lotus Flowers
Bai Mengdie went to the yard to make a stove, and after the stove was cooked, she could simmer the beef brisket soup.
The beef brisket is easy to cut, and the beef bones Bai Mengdie and the old lady don't have so much strength to cut it, and it just so happened that Shi Lei came home from school, and the old lady asked him to cut it.
Shi Lei was very happy to see the beef brisket soup simmering at night, and he was very energetic in cutting beef bones.
After chopping the beef bones, the old lady was responsible for simmering the soup, and the Bai Mengdie brothers and sisters went back to their respective rooms to do their homework.
Bai Mengdie had only been writing her homework for a few minutes, and Shi Lei came in with a few lotus canopies in his hands.
He put the lotus canopy on Bai Mengdie's desk and turned around to leave, Bai Mengdie stopped him: "Where did you get the lotus canopy?" ”
Nowadays, many ponds have been contracted, and even if there are non-contracted ponds, there are not many lotus roots growing in them.
Even the long lotus root grows in the center of the pond, which not only grows lotus root, but also water chestnut.
In order to pick a few lotus roots, it will be dangerous to go down this kind of wild pond, Bai Mengdie doesn't want Shi Lei to take such a big risk in order to pick a few lotus pods for her.
Shi Lei smiled lightly and said, "I heard that lotus rice is good for the kidneys, so I specially brought it back for you to eat." ”
Bai Mengdie hooked her lips and smiled, feeling so happy to be cared for by her relatives, after eating the lotus pod, she continued to study.
After nearly an hour, the enticing aroma of the brisket soup wafted from the yard to the outside.
No matter who passes by in front of Bai Mengdie's house, they can't help but praise: "It's so fragrant!" ”
In order not to work in the fields, the three Bai Wei sisters and brothers did not go home from the village after school, for fear of being caught by Yao Cuihua.
It's always enough to be out in the wild, so I sneak home from the end of the village.
Yao Cuihua and his wife worked in the fields every day until it was dark before they came home, and the children not only had no one to help, but they also didn't even help with the food.
Every night, the three CRINGLING sisters and brothers will be beaten and scolded by Yao Cuihua when they return home, and they are used to it.
After enough of school today, the sisters and brothers went to the old lady's vegetable field to steal a ripe melon to eat, and then slipped home from the end of the village as usual.
When passing by the Bai family's courtyard, they smelled the aroma of beef brisket soup wafting out of it, and the sisters and brothers couldn't even walk.
Cailing said greedily to her younger brothers and sisters: "If only I could eat two pieces of beef." ”
Bai Wei swallowed his saliva and said, "I want to eat it too." ”
Rainbow hung her head and said, "Grandma won't give us food." ”
CRBT said, "Let's try it, in case grandma gives it to us." ”
The three siblings slowly rubbed into the courtyard and said to the old lady greedily: "Grandma, we want to drink beef brisket soup." ”
The old lady rolled her eyes at them: "What to eat?" After eating, I wiped my mouth and didn't even help with the work! ”
Rainbow Baiwei hurriedly said, "Grandma, we did our work after the last time we had Sister Fluttershy's birthday party." ”
Cailing also said: "Grandma, I will also work this time." ”
The old lady looked at the three grandchildren who had been taught crooked by Yao Cuihua, and said, "Okay, if any of you go to pick up a bundle of dry firewood and come back, I will give him a bowl of beef brisket soup." ”
Rainbow and Bai Wei fought for a bowl of beef brisket soup, took a rope from the old lady and went to the mountains to pick up dead branches.
CRBT hesitated for a while, then took a rope and reluctantly left.
The brisket soup has been cooked until it is five ripe, and it is ready to add potatoes and tomatoes.
The old lady asked Bai Mengdie to bolt the courtyard door from the inside, and she carried the vegetable basket to dig potatoes and pick tomatoes in the vegetable field.
When she arrived at the vegetable field, the old lady couldn't find a few smooth red tomatoes when she wanted to pick them, only a few red tomatoes that didn't look like crooked melons and cracked dates, and she suddenly didn't want to pick them.
The old lady knew that all the slippery tomatoes in the vegetable field had been stolen by the three CRBT sisters and brothers.
The old lady couldn't figure it out, at least a dozen catties of red tomatoes were needed in the vegetable field every day, and the CRBT sisters and brothers were able to eat them all, why is this stomach so big.
She was very unhappy and whispered to the Cailing sisters and brothers, what they didn't eat enough, what they couldn't do, and walked to the small vegetable field where the potatoes were planted and prepared to dig potatoes.
But the scene in front of her made her eyes dark.
There is a melon planted next to the potato, a good melon field, and the melon vine is torn into a mess.
The villagers in the vegetable garden next door said to the old lady: "You are old, don't look at it, it was a sin made by a few children in your third room, we let the Cailing sisters and brothers pick melons, don't do damage, no one listens." ”
The old lady said with a gloomy face: "I will educate them well when I go back." ”
In the past, the three Cailing sisters and brothers came to the vegetable field to pick melons and fruits to eat, and they never destroyed them.
Since the separation, the three of his sisters and brothers have stopped cherishing the crops, and the old lady knows that the Bai Wei sisters and brothers will do this, all of which were instigated by Yao Cuihua.
After digging up the potatoes and washing them in the pond, the old lady returned home, cut the potatoes into hobs and added them to the brisket soup, and then went to Bai Mengdie's room and asked:
"Big baby, we don't have smooth red tomatoes in our vegetable garden, so why don't we add tomatoes to the brisket soup?"
Although stewed beef brisket with tomato is a common dish, it is not a recipe for this type of cooking in this rural area.
When Bai Mengdie said that she wanted to make potato and tomato beef brisket soup, the old lady muttered to herself in her heart, will the beef brisket soup cooked with tomatoes be delicious, but the big baby likes it, and she will settle if it doesn't taste good.
But now there are no smooth red tomatoes, which is a good excuse not to cook dark dishes.
Bai Mengdie didn't necessarily have to drink the beef brisket soup with tomatoes, she just wanted the old lady to taste the new taste, since there were no tomatoes, forget it.
……
It was summer now, the grass was lush, and there were not so many dead branches to pick up on the mountain, so Bai Wei and Rainbow picked up a small bundle each after picking it up for a while.
Bai Wei tied the small bundle of firewood with a rope and asked Rainbow: "Let's exchange this bundle of firewood for a bowl of beef brisket soup." ”
Rainbow is not a diligent person, and she has long been reluctant to collect firewood, and said, "Yes, grandma didn't say how much firewood to collect." ”
The siblings each carried a small bundle of firewood down the mountain and ran into a ringbell waiting at the bottom of the mountain.
Cailing stopped the two of them like a robbery, as if someone owed her, and said with a broken face: "Give me half of your firewood!" ”
Rainbow subconsciously put her firewood behind her.
Bai Wei glanced at the ringtone: "Why give it to you, you don't have no long hands, pick it up yourself!" ”
"You don't distinguish between me, watch me beat you!" CRBT said hideously.
Bai Wei was not afraid of her at all: "You beat me, I don't know how to beat you too?" ”
Although he is two years younger than CRBT, he is not shorter than her, and he is strong.
In addition, boys are naturally stronger than girls, and the two sisters and brothers really fight, and Cailing can't beat him at all.
Cailing aggressively grabbed the firewood in Bai Wei's hand, and was pushed to the ground by Bai Wei to sit on the ground with a palm.
Seeing that he couldn't kill Bai Wei and that he was gone, Cai Ling got up from the ground, stopped Rainbow, and said fiercely: "Give me your firewood!" ”
In order to be able to eat the brisket soup, Rainbow resolutely refused, bypassing the ringtones and leaving.
Cailing turned around and grabbed her braid and pulled it hard: "Do you give it or not!" ”
The rainbow was so painful that tears were about to burst out.
She threw the firewood to the ground, ignoring the braid on CRBT's hand, which made her scalp hurt and tore up with CRBT.
The two sisters were inseparable, and some villagers passing by saw it and pulled it for a long time, and it was easy to tear the two sisters apart.
But the villagers left on the front foot, and the two sisters scuffled together on the back foot.
Those villagers were very helpless, so they had to send a letter to Yao Cuihua.
Besides, Bai Weile carried the small bundle of firewood to the Bai family's courtyard, and saw that the old lady was making a thousand sheets, and said with flattery: "Grandma, I came back from collecting firewood." ”
The old lady raised her head with a gloomy face, glanced at the small bundle of firewood in his hand, and saw that there were no twenty, and at first glance she was pretending to cheat the beef brisket soup to drink, and she was not angry.
"I want to drink beef brisket soup when I pick up these firewoods, what are you doing with firewood made of gold!"
Bai Wei said with a bitter face: "Grandma, firewood is not easy to pick up~"
The old lady roared, "Then you Fluttershy will make money if you make money?" She bought the brisket soup, and you just mixed it up so lightly?
Then it will be easier for me to grow vegetables at my age? You eat the vegetables and fruits I grow, and you spoil my dishes, and you are embarrassed to come to me and ask me for beef brisket soup to drink.
Take your firewood, go back to your house, and don't even go to my door in the future!" ”
Bai Wei smelled the mouth-watering aroma of beef brisket soup, where was he willing to go, and begged bitterly: "Grandma, I didn't want to spoil the vegetables grown by grandma, my mother made us do this, if we don't listen to her, she won't give us food, and I am also forced." ”
Bai Mengdie was doing homework in the room, and seeing that it was not early, she walked out of the room to prepare dinner.
Hearing Bai Wei's words, he asked the old lady, "Grandma, what's the matter?" ”
The old lady told her what had happened.
Bai Mengdie heard it on fire, the old lady was old, and the Cailing sisters and brothers actually spoiled the vegetables she planted.
said to Bai Wei with a cold face: "You are such a big person, don't you have the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, you can do whatever your mother tells you to do?"
Then one day your mother told you to kill your grandparents and us, didn't you do the same?
If you listen to your mother so much, don't come to our house to beg for brisket soup to drink, take your firewood and go back to your mother! ”
Bai Wei looked confused, but he still begged, "My mom won't make food for us, Sister Fluttershy, you can give me food." ”
Shi Lei heard the quarrel in the courtyard in the room, walked out, and yelled at Bai Wei: "You can't get out!" ”
Bai Wei was yelled at and his neck shrank, and he timidly turned around and ran, for fear that Shi Lei would beat him.
As soon as he ran out of the hospital, he hit Yao Cuihua, who rushed to stop the Cailing sisters from fighting because of the villagers' report.
Yao Cuihua was in a hurry, and was hit by her own son, and suddenly became angry, and slapped Bai Wei in the face: "What are you doing, even your mother is bumped!" ”
At a glance, he saw Bai Wei still carrying a small bundle of firewood in his hand, and asked, "Why did you come out of your grandmother's house with firewood?" ”
Bai Wei was slapped by Yao Cuihua's slap to tears, and cried: "It was grandma who said that I would exchange a bundle of firewood for a bowl of beef brisket soup to drink, I picked up the firewood and came back, but grandma was reluctant to do so." ”
Yao Cuihua didn't dare to find the old lady and they quarreled, so she deliberately scolded Bai Wei at the gate of the courtyard, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai: "Who made you cheap, you deserve to be deceived!" The old lady asked you to pick up a piece of firewood, but you refused, but went to lick someone's ass! ”
Yuanyuan's mother walked out, pretending to be uneven and said: "When you go to grandma's house to drink a bowl of beef brisket soup, you have to exchange firewood, which is too much, but you take firewood but change your hexagram, this is ...... This is a good thing to say. ”
She stepped forward and pulled Yao Cuihua in a fake way: "I said Cuihua, don't beat Xiao Wei, he is already wronged enough, you still beat him......"
Bai Mengdie was already about to go into the kitchen to make dinner, but when she heard Yuanyuan's mother picking right and wrong, she immediately rushed out.
said to her with a cold face: "I bought the brisket, our family and the third uncle's family have been separated, it is normal for grandma not to give Xiao Wei food, and we have no obligation to raise Xiao Wei."
Your family has an obligation to support Yuanyuan's grandparents, why don't you support the elderly? And the face accuses my grandma!
You're so brazen, does your family know? ”
Yuanyuan's mother's face sank, and she was just about to quarrel with Bai Mengdie, but her man came back and saw that she was doing something again.
It's okay to make trouble, but he can't do it to others, and Bai Mengdie exposed his family's shortcomings in public.
was so angry that he used the hoe handle in his hand to pull it to his mother-in-law: "What kind of tongue do you chew all day long, don't go into the house to make dinner!" ”
Yuanyuan's mother was beaten and screamed, and ran back to her yard.
Bai Mengdie fired at Bai Wei again: "You tell these onlookers clearly, why didn't grandma give you beef brisket soup?" ”
Bai Wei lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.
Yao Cuihua was a little afraid of Bai Mengdie, but she was not convinced, rolled her eyes and muttered loudly: "What else can there be, eccentric!" ”
"You're a big-headed ghost!" Bai Mengdie yelled at her, "I'll say it again, I brought those briskets back from the county seat after school, not my grandparents, what kind of heart does grandma have?"
If you don't do it, you want to be a mad dog, and you can't live if you don't bite people, right? ”
Yao Cuihua saw that Shi Lei and the old lady had all come out, and she was even more scared, so she reached out and hit Bai Wei again: "Call you cheap!" Tell you to lick someone else's ass! ”
Bai Mengdie said coldly: "Third aunt, you don't scold so badly, grandma doesn't give Xiao Wei a brisket soup, you are the culprit!"
If it weren't for you to educate Xiao Wei's three siblings to spoil the vegetables grown by grandma, grandma would be so angry that she wouldn't give Xiao Wei a beef brisket soup? ”
Yao Cuihua stiffened her neck and said: "The conscience of heaven and earth, I haven't taught Xiao Wei like this, if I teach it like this, I won't die well!"
Who knows which child is naughty and spoils the vegetables grown by your grandmother, and you will blame my mother and son. ”
"Really?" The corners of Bai Mengdie's mouth curled up with a sneer, and she turned her eyes to Bai Wei and said, "Xiao Wei, you are telling the truth in front of these onlookers now, is it not your mother who taught your sisters and brothers to spoil the vegetables grown by your grandmother?" ”
Bai Wei hesitated and bargained: "If I tell the truth, will you give me beef brisket soup to drink?" ”
Bai Mengdie said slyly: "I can only tell you, if you don't tell the truth, there will definitely be no brisket soup to drink, you can do it yourself." ”
Bai Wei weighed it in his heart for a long time before he said: "It is indeed my mother who taught my sister and brother to spoil the vegetables grown by my grandmother." ”
Bai Mengdie was kind and seductive: "Why did your mother teach you like this?" She didn't get anything to gain from it. ”
Yao Cuihua was so angry that she took off a shoe and went to smoke Bai Wei: "I let you talk nonsense, when did I teach your sister and brother to do this?" You tell this kind of lie for a bowl of beef brisket soup, and you are not afraid of being struck by lightning! ”
