Chapter 52: Roasted Sparrows
When Aunt Wang was cooking, Xiaoxiao fell asleep unconsciously, and when she woke up, she found that the meal had been prepared.
Xiaoxiao saw Qingqing and Niu Niu gathered around the stove, one holding a long branch, and the other end of the branch reached into the fire, both of them had a serious expression, but if they looked closely, they could find their faces full of expectation.
"What are you doing?"
Niu Niu heard the sound, his hands shook in fright, and the branch fell out directly, Xiaoxiao saw that it was black, but he could vaguely see that it was a bird, Xiaoxiao instantly thought of the two sparrows that Niu Niu caught during the day.
"You're roasting sparrows?"
Niu Niu saw Xiaoxiao squatting down, and immediately hid behind Qingqing, the corners of Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched, is she so terrible?!
"Well, eldest sister, this is Niu Niu's catch, it is said that it is roasted, let's eat it together."
Qingqing was very puzzled when she saw that Niu Niu was so afraid of Xiaoxiao, she remembered that Niu Niu was not so afraid of her eldest sister when she was at home before? Did something happen between them that she didn't know about?
"You, come here."
Xiaoxiao nodded, indicating that she already knew, and then hooked her finger at Cheng Niuniu.
Cheng Niuniu was a little confused, this eldest sister, what did you call him to do?!
"The eldest sister called you, you hurry up."
Qingqing gently pushed Cheng Niuniu, the eldest sister looked in a good mood at this time, she called Cheng Niuniu alone, and the two of them talked for a while, maybe Niuniu would not be afraid of the eldest sister.
Cheng Niuniu was coldly pushed in front of Xiaoxiao by Qingqing, Niuniu looked at the eldest sister who was close in front of him, and stammered a little:
"Big, big sister."
"Am I that terrible?"
Niu Niu nodded, and then shook his head:
"No, it's not scary."
If he told the truth, would the eldest sister also threaten him with a kitchen knife? It's still a small life.
"I don't like lying kids."
Niu Niu almost cried when he heard this, and hurriedly said:
"Eldest sister, I'm not lying, you're really not scary, what I said is true, it's truer than pearls."
"Yo, you still know about pearls."
"I don't know about pearls, I just listen to other people."
Cheng Niuniu hurriedly explained, for fear of accidentally making Xiaoxiao angry.
"Who did you give this sparrow to eat when it's roasted?"
"For the eldest sister."
Cheng Niuniu glanced at the pitch-black sparrow on the ground, swallowed his saliva, and cautiously looked up at Xiaoxiao:
"Sister, can I take a small bite too? That's it, okay? ”
Niu Niu gestured with his fingers, and Xiaoxiao couldn't help but smile when he saw his movements.
"You can eat it, if you want to eat meat, tell the eldest sister, and the eldest sister will cook better food for you in the future."
"No, I'll just take a small bite."
Cheng Niuniu shook his head like a rattle:
"The second sister said that everyone is happy when they share good things together, so Niu Niu can't eat it all, everyone eats it together."
"Niu Niu has really grown up."
Xiaoxiao touched Niu Niu's head, Niu Niu's body stiffened, the eldest sister had never touched him like this, but it felt really good.
Originally, I was going to make a big plate of chicken for dinner, but today I went to Zhang Er's house and took the chicken I bought, so for dinner there were only fried radish strips and cabbage, and fragrant rice, although there was no meat, everyone ate about one.
The roasted black sparrows were not eaten in the end, and seeing that Niu Niu wanted to eat meat so much, Xiaoxiao had no choice but to drive Bai Xue to catch fish.
Snow white......
"I'll let you eat three grilled fish in a moment."
After hearing this, all Bai Xue's reluctance disappeared, and she ran away in a blink of an eye.
Ma Qiuying washed the dishes and chopsticks, saw that there were still a few radishes on the ground, and planned to pickle some pickles to eat.
This year, there is no home-grown vegetables, and the radish and cabbage bought here are not cheap, and there are two more children in the family.
Xiaoxiao saw that her mother-in-law was busy again, and hurriedly asked:
"Mother, what are you doing here?"
"I took advantage of some hot water to wash this radish and make some pickles."
"Oh, it's nice to make some pickles."
Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement, it's also good to eat some pickles once in a while to adjust.
She thought very beautifully, but she forgot that this was ancient, and then when her mother-in-law was ready, she took a bite with anticipation, heh, the pickles made here are really salty, vegetables, and there is no other taste at all.
Bai Xue's speed was really fast, and after a while, he caught seven fish, seven, one for each of them, and the remaining three were Bai Xue's.
Xiaoxiao......
Cheng Niuniu saw Bai Xue for the first time and could catch fish, his face was strange, he wanted to ask but didn't speak, it was better to wait for the eldest sister to not ask the second sister.
Xiaoxiao quickly grilled the fish, Niu Niu stood aside, although he was full just now, but now he smelled the fragrance of the fish and felt hungry again.
Removing the grilled fish and putting it on a plate, Cheng Niuniu couldn't help it, and he was about to take it and eat it.
Xiaoxiao's fluttering eyes floated over, and Niu Niu was so frightened that he quickly retracted his hand, and his brain reacted extremely quickly.
"I'll see if it's still hot, and I'm going to bring it to my aunt."
"Yes, go ahead."
Xiaoxiao didn't expose his lies, the bad mistakes she learned from Cheng Shi can't be changed overnight, she also has time to train him, don't rush, take your time.
Niu Niu was a little stunned when he heard Xiaoxiao's words, did the eldest sister really let him serve the bowl? He'd never done this at home.
I wanted to give my opinion, but when I saw the fire shining on the eldest sister's face, although there was no expression, Niu Niu was still timid.
It's better than being kicked out by the eldest sister.
Father and mother are not at home, only himself, the second sister is also willing to stay here, unwilling to go home, he only trusts the second sister now, so he can't leave.
Cheng Niuniu picked up the bowl and walked forward cautiously, Xiaoxiao saw his movements out of the corner of his eyes, and his lips hooked.
Qingqing was still a little worried, for fear that Niu Niu would accidentally fall, and just wanted to open her mouth to let her come, she heard the eldest sister cough, looked at the eldest sister, and just bumped into the eldest sister's talking eyes.
Qingqing had no choice but to give up when she saw this, the eldest sister intended to exercise Niu Niu, and she couldn't stop her.
"Auntie, this fish is grilled, you can eat it."
Niu Niu carefully handed it to Ma Qiuying, Ma Qiuying quickly took it, glanced at Xiaoxiao's side, and found that only she had the grilled fish, so she gave it to Niu Niu:
"Niu Niu, you eat first, the eldest aunt is not too hungry."
Cheng Niuniu couldn't help it for a long time, and when he heard Ma Qiuying's words, he immediately stretched out his hand into the bowl,
"Ahem, ahem."
Xiaoxiao's voice came, and Niu Niu retracted his hand again,
"Auntie, you eat first, the eldest sister said, you have to honor the elders, and my wait will be fine."
"What a good boy."
Ma Qiuying also heard Xiaoxiao's cough, and no longer persuaded her, Niu Niu is five years old, and it is indeed time to teach the rules.
