Mother Wu heard Helan say that bone broth is good for Grandpa Wu and can relieve pain, so she hurriedly wiped her hands and got up and went out, afraid that it would be too late and there would be nothing.

"You two help me look at the contents of the pot, I'll hurry over and take a look, it's too late."

Hurrying and hurrying or slowing down, there are not many bones already taken.

"Lan girl, can you see if these bone sticks can work? The ones with some meat were taken away, and that's all that was left when I went. Mother Wu was slightly disappointed, put a few smaller bones to Helan and asked.

"Yes, yes, this is the best! Knock it open, and the soup cooked is the best, not only for grandpa's legs, but also for us, nourishing the body. ”

After listening to Helan's words, Mother Wu let go of the entanglement in her heart: "Tell me what to do, I'll try it at night." ”

"Wash it, divide it into several sections, boil it with water first, then take it out and pour out the white foam in the pot and the like, then add water and start to stew, just like we cook and boil soup, the longer this boiling, the better, you must remember that the white foam floating on it can't be eaten."

"Okay, I remember, but there aren't a few bones in this one, and I don't know how many I can boil out."

"It doesn't take too much, this big stick can boil a pot of soup, you can boil a few more meals, you can put some vegetables and the like, radishes can also be put in, there is a lot of essence in the pork bones, and it is a big supplement!"

Mother Wu expressed her doubts, there is nothing in this bone, she feels strange to be able to boil soup, and how many more times can she stew it?

When I saw the stewed pot of oily pork rib soup in the evening, it was really strange, and it tasted good with a small spoonful.

Waiting for the soup to be served on the table, the family is also very strange, what is this white and oily soup.

Hearing Helan's explanation, Grandpa Wu was also interested, and he served the rice bowl and drank it.

Without waiting for Father Wu to express his opinion, Father Wu hurriedly took a sip while his father was tasting it: "The taste is okay, but it is bland." ”

"It's good to have a little food and drink, Lan Yatou said, this is good for our father's legs, let our father drink more."

"What about such a big pot, our father can't drink it all." Father Wu was a little unhappy when he heard that his daughter-in-law didn't let him drink, he hadn't touched meat for a long year, and he finally looked forward to it.

Grandpa Wu didn't say anything, anyway, the family is close to him first in terms of eating and drinking, and this soup is really delicious, so everyone drinks more, and there are more to do anyway.

"Mother, when can we eat the meat you got back?" Wu Qingquan knew that the family had got the meat and began to worry about it, and before he boiled the soup, he shouted that he would eat meat tomorrow, and he couldn't give up the idea in his heart when he tasted the sweetness at this time.

Speaking of this soup in the evening, it is really hard-won, since the beginning of winter, the family has only two meals a day, one meal at about nine o'clock in the morning, one meal at about three o'clock in the afternoon, and sometimes it may be later, just to save more food to pass the next wave of grain harvest.

Helan said that bones can be stewed in soup, so Wu's mother made a meal first, and when she made it, it was only soup, and she put a few cabbage leaves in the soup at Helan's suggestion, and there were no other things like cakes and buns.

It can also be seen from this that the hardships of ancient life, Helan is deeply experienced, don't say much, or do it first for respect, it is best to be able to fish for another bowl of soup, and it is best to fish for vegetable leaves.

After drinking the pork rib soup, the family went back to their rooms to sleep after the sun went down.

Only Helan and Qingmei took two more sips while rubbing their stomachs while holding a bowl of soup that they still had, they were really full tonight, and they must go to the toilet a lot at night, but no matter how many side effects they wanted, they didn't want to put the bowl in their hands.

Wu Qingzhu looked at his sister guarding the bowl and was helpless, so he couldn't bear to look at it directly and went back to his room. By the way, I hiccuped, and I was so full!

Wu Qingquan went to his grandfather's room with the quilt to sleep together in the days when his brother was not at home.

In previous winters, it was also like this, Grandpa Wu and Wu Qingzhu, Wu's father and Wu Qingzhu, and Wu's mother hugged Qingmei. In this way, the family also saves some quilts, and this year it is also grouped in pairs, but the location is different.

Fortunately, Wu Qingzhu is not here this year, if he comes back, this distribution is not easy to distribute, after all, there are not so many quilts.

Sleepless nights.

After waking up the next day, Grandpa Wu immediately felt refreshed, and he didn't feel his legs shivering from the cold last night, not like the usual biting cold.

"Helan said that this recipe really works, I felt warm in the middle of the night last night, and my legs are not as prick as usual." Grandpa Wu touched his beard, and his eyes were also shining, which was quite memorable.

"Really, really, I was like my grandfather last night, my whole body was warm, but I was comfortable, mother, let's boil that soup at night and drink it!" Wu Qingquan, who was on the side, heard what his grandfather said, and hurriedly turned his head over and interjected.

"Cheng, I'll put the soup on the stove and simmer it slowly, it's simple, I can drink it until the evening, so I don't waste firewood." Wu's mother thinks that the stewed soup is nothing, that is, put the bones in it and pour the water, but what is lacking in this winter is firewood, and it is a pity to waste firewood in order to hide from the soup a few times.

"Can you eat meat today?" Since her mother agreed to the suggestion of drinking soup, she must learn to climb up the pole and quickly put forward her new request.

"Hurry up and read the book, just share that bit of meat and you will remember it, we can still make soup and eat cakes at home, and I don't know what your brother eats."

"Mother, isn't it at all? The meat is all lean and not delicious, so keep the big piece of the family for my brother, and let's eat this wild boar. Qingmei, who was listening to a few people chatting, also hurried over to help her brother speak, mainly because he also wanted to eat meat.

In fact, it is not that Wu's mother wants to save for her eldest son to eat, she wants to keep it for the New Year and then eat, a few years ago, when the family was bitter, it was not a mouthful of meat, and this year I was willing to go to the city to cut a few catties of meat when the days were better.

Coincidentally, this year, I also met the wild boar meat in the village, and this year can be regarded as a good year, but the wild boar meat is more lean, and the fat is too little, and I can't cut a few pieces in total.

There are also many households in the village, and there are not many of them in everyone's hands.

"Forget it, let's cut it down and cook it at noon."

As soon as they heard that Wu's mother was willing to make meat and eat it, Helan and Qingmei's eyes lit up, and they put down the work at hand and went to the kitchen to help Wu's mother.

I heard that there was meat to eat today, so Grandpa Wu was in a good mood and let Wu Qingquan go out to let the wind go, and he had to come back before eating.

Wu Qingquan naturally agreed, and he was not stupid if he could not come back if he had meat to eat.

Running out in a hurry, he went to Tie Niu's house, shouted twice, and when he saw that no one answered, he pushed open the door of his house and walked in.

The farmer opens the gate first thing in the morning and closes it at night.

This matter is also exquisite, the first is to open the door and welcome customers; the second is also to increase the ventilation of the house; The third is to clean and cook, and the fourth is to facilitate the neighbors to chat.

After Wu Qingquan entered the door, he saw Tie Niu lying in the bed, and his face was happy: "I'm not afraid that the family is poor, I'm afraid that there will be lazy insects in the family, hurry up." ”

"It's so cold outside, why are you here?" Tie Niu was very surprised to see that it was his own hair that was small.

"I finally had some leisure, so I came to you to go out for a walk."

"You wait a while, I'll warm up and then go out." The Iron Bull took advantage of the sunshine to go to the foot of the mountain to pick up the forks of the trees for an hour or two, which would have just come back, but how warm it would be.

Seeing Qingquan sitting on the edge of the bed, he stretched out his hand and put it into Qingquan's neck.

"What are you doing, I'm killing you, murder!" Wu Qingquan was originally going to talk to Tie Niu with high spirits, but he didn't think that this kid was so bad, so he immediately sat up from the bed angrily.

"Haha, I won't mess with you, it's not that there is not much firewood at home, so my brothers and sisters and I went to the mountains to pick up some and just came back." As the eldest son in the family, Tie Zhu can only lead a few small ones to pick up for a day.

"I've heard that somebody caught pheasants from the old place, why don't we go for a walk?" Wu Qingzhu's eyes lit up when he spoke.

The old place Wu Qingquan said is the cemetery in the village, where there are the most pheasants and wild birds, and it is also the favorite place for wild boys.

Tie Niu pursed his lips: "You didn't want to do good things when you just came out, that old man, besides, the old high of the snowdrift, who knows what you will step on." ”

"If you don't have the courage to go, you won't go, I'll go out for a walk." It's so disappointing, he only has an hour of time, and he still doesn't waste it with this kid, he doesn't go by himself.

"You didn't say no, you have to let me rest!"

"To go or not, I only have half an hour?

"Well, if you say so, I'll go with you." Looking at Wu Qingzhu's determined eyes, Tie Niu could only helplessly get up and put on his coat.

The reason why Tie Niu agreed was also because he was afraid that this kid would run over by himself, the two of them grew up together since childhood, and they knew his character too well: not afraid of heaven and earth. It's not safe to look at it and lie at home.

Wu Qingzhu has a nickname, called Ah Niu, and his family is a little more particular, and he feels that it does not fit his identity, so he has never called Ah Niu.

And Tie Niu and Wu Qingzhu's nicknames are in conflict, so the relationship between the two of them has grown day by day since they met.

There was also a little accident when he went out, and Tie Niu's younger brother had to follow, the two big ones were naturally unwilling, and all kinds of crooked tricks were useless.

In the end, I was still coaxed to find something, and the two big ones ran over the wall while they couldn't see it.

Fortunately, most of the courtyard walls of the farmhouses are not high, and it is not a big deal for two young men to climb over the wall.

As soon as the two of them came out of the courtyard wall, they were seen by the iron bull who was entering the door, and then the temper came up, and they took off the shoes on their feet and were about to come over.
