The Song family is not a stingy person, so he directly agreed: "If you like it, take it, and when my man is empty, I will ask him to give you a big iron pot again." ”

"Thank you, auntie!"

Song sharpened the knife and handed it to Lin Shuqing for her to look at, "Girl, is this blade enough?" ”

"That's enough, auntie. Can you sell me a whetstone, if it's not enough, I'll go back and get you some food." Lin Yu'er spoke again.

Knives are meant to be used every day, and they can't be used without whetstones.

"Hey, you kid, why are you so polite? My aunt just gave you a piece, and it wasn't a valuable thing. Song said boldly.

When Lin Shuqing left with this pan, there were still a lot of mountain mushrooms piled up on it, all of which were stuffed to her by Aunt Song.

After returning home, Lin Shuqing immediately chopped the chicken, and washed the pot up and down several times. Let the younger siblings build a fire, put the pan on the rack, wait for the pot to heat up, and cut a few pieces of yellow chicken fat down.

When the oil is hot, he throws away the whole chopped chicken and stir-fry it with a spatula. After frying for a while, a thin layer of oil rises at the bottom of the pan. Lin Shuqing took out some of the chicken fat and put it in a small bowl. When the chicken skin was slightly yellow, she added half a pot of water, covered the broken wooden lid at home, and simmered.

A few small ones had already gathered aside, smelling the fragrance and swallowing their saliva.

Lin Shuqing smiled softly and said, "This chicken is a little hard just fried, and when it is simmered, my sister will serve you chicken to eat." ”

Several children pounded their heads like garlic, and watched Lin Yu'er cook intently.

When the pot was bubbling, Lin Shuqing added some salt, onions, garlic, etc. Originally, there were no such things at home, so they relied on the aunts who lived in the cave to share some of them, but they were not much, and they were gone after a few meals.

She washed and slice the mountain mushrooms sent by Aunt Song, and threw them into the pot to boil. When the chicken is soft and the chopsticks can be easily inserted, that's fine. The fire under the pot is burning, and the aroma of chicken above is also wafting far away.

Lin Shuqing took out the bowls at home and shared a large bowl for each person.

"Wash your hands and eat!" Lin Shuqing instructed, and several children immediately rushed to the bucket to wash their hands.

Holding the chicken in the bowl again, he ate them one by one with full attention. Lin Zhisheng is less than a year old, and he can't speak yet, but when he smells the fragrance of the yard, he also drools, shouting something in his mouth.

Lin Shuqing picked up this younger brother, took a small piece of chicken from the pot, tore off the skin on it, and handed it to him, so that he could also taste the taste of meat, although he might not be able to gnaw it.

Lin Zhisheng seemed to understand that his sister was giving him something delicious, and he immediately cracked his mouth and laughed when he saw Lin Shuqing's movements. The little eyes like grape beads sparkled, and he stretched out his little arms to pick them up.

After receiving the hand, it was even more happy, the big teeth of the rice grains gnawed hard, the eyebrows and eyes were crooked, full of joy.

Lin Shuqing was so cute by her younger brother's actions that she put him on the ground and sat down, and then served a bowl of chicken by herself. There is nothing else to cook food at home, and the meat will spoil after a long time, and several children have not eaten meat for a long time, so they eat it in one meal.

Lin Shuqing took care of Lin Zhisheng while eating chicken by herself, watching her younger brothers and sisters eating deliciously, and suddenly had some understanding in her heart, those families sat together to eat, and adults tried their best to put vegetables in the children's bowls but did not eat them.

Like an old hen, she takes care of a group of chicks and wants them to thrive.

It's a good feeling to have loved ones!

Several children quickly finished eating, and even the bottom of the bowl was licked clean, Lin Shuqing saw it in his eyes and smelled, "Are you full?" There are so many chickens in this pot! ”

The chicken sent by Aunt Zheng is the eldest hen. They are all children, they don't have a big appetite, and there is still a small half bowl left in one bowl per person.

Lin Shuqiao responded obediently: "Sister, we have eaten, and the rest is left for you and your brother to eat." We don't eat ......."

The other two children nodded their heads.

"Are you really full? This meat will be bad tomorrow! Lin Shuqing teased a few children, after a busy day, he only ate in the cave in the morning.

The Zhuang family can eat meat once during the New Year, not to mention the situation of her family, it is better to eat it at once.

"It's enough for my sister to eat these, you divide the rest, don't waste it, after eating this meal, you won't have anything to eat today." Lin Shuqing said, and gave some chicken to a few children.

After she finished eating, she heated the rice soup that was put in the gourd and prepared for Lin Zhisheng, put some extremely fine shredded chicken into it, and fed him cold. Children who are almost a year old can also eat some meat, but unfortunately it is good that the family can eat enough now.

Several children ate with their mouths full of oil, and they consciously cleaned up all the pots and pans.

There was still a small half of the sun hanging in the sky, and although the sky was sunny and there was no rain, the sisters and brothers still packed up their things at home and went back to the cave.

Today, there are a lot fewer villagers in the cave, many of them have made straw curtains and have built the eaves, and the quilts and furniture have been dried for two days.

To Lin Shuqing's surprise, Uncle Du's family was still there. looked at Lin Shuqing and the others, and greeted them directly and said, "Shuqing girl, your aunt has made a lot of straw curtains, and I will go to help your house cover the roof tomorrow!" ”

Aunt Hu was sitting on the fire next to her, with a pile of straw beside her, and a few children were weaving straw mats.

In this way, Lin Shuqing was so embarrassed that she immediately took her younger brothers and sisters up and said, "Thank you, Uncle Du, since you are making a roof for our house, let us also contribute!" ”

He sat down directly next to the haystack and consciously took the straw and started to move. It is said to be a straw mat, but in fact, it is not a particularly complicated process, that is, the dry straw is divided into small handfuls, bundled at both ends, and a bundle of straw is stacked. The corners should be tied tightly, lest the wind blow and run away.

A few small ones also followed, and their hands and feet were very nimble.

"Girl, be careful to cut your hands, you children have tender hands, let me come."

"It's okay aunt, we'll be careful, there are many people who can work."

Du Jiaolan sat by the straw pile and secretly glanced at Lin Shuqing, angry at her mother's maintenance of her. The roof of her house was repaired first, and she had to help with the work, which was really enough to fill in the trouble.

But thinking that Lin Shuqing could save the wheat in the field, she was a little convinced, and now she had to endure it.

There are many people who are easy to do, and it didn't take long for everyone to finish tying the grass in the hole.

Early the next morning, Du Dachuan took a few men from the village to Lin's house to build a roof.
