On the stove outside, Lin Baoru looked at the bone broth that had been simmering for a long time. When the soup in the pot was already milky white, she was in a good mood and added some shredded sauerkraut and dried cranberry and dried vegetable leaves that she had been reluctant to eat before.

The fire in the stove crackled from time to time, and the pot emitted a thick aroma. It's just some ordinary dishes, but Lin Baoru, who is alive, swallowed her saliva first.

She saw that the stew in the pot was almost done, so she got up and took the cage drawer sewn from the sorghum stalk and warmed the budding rice cakes. Then, squatting down and starting to pull the bellows for a while.

In fact, Lin Baoru never thought that after many years, she could still remember what her grandmother taught her when she was a child. The roast meat stew should be first brewed on high heat, and then boiled on low heat.

When she was a child, in that small mountain village that was not wealthy, her grandmother could boil a little more fragrant than others even if she only boiled bones.

At that time, her grandmother told her that cooking is like living a life, and if you can't be fast, you have to stay up slowly. It's like that pot of bone broth, if you boil it for a long time, you can boil out the fragrance of the bone marrow, isn't it better than other people's homes?

It's just that if there is giving, there will be gain, and she has to give up that bit of firewood first......

Lin Baoru thought about it, and suddenly became a little melancholy. In her previous life, in addition to her grandmother, most of her parents and relatives were plastic lovers. Especially after her parents remarried, she almost became a homeless little pitiful. It wasn't until her parents got compensation for the property she inherited from her grandmother that they came up to tell about the mother-daughter relationship and father-daughter relationship, and even more so they told her about their reluctance and indebtedness.

But what does that have to do with her?

Whether they were crying bitterly, or they were angry, or even scolding her at the end, it seemed so ridiculous to her.

Thinking about it now, Lin Baoru suddenly felt that everything was probably predestined. If she hadn't been rejected by her parents in her previous life and sent to her grandmother's house in the countryside, she would not have learned so many life skills, so that now she can easily cook with the ancient way of cooking on fire, and it is impossible to endure the current dilapidated living environment.

The fire in front of the stove was very warm, which made Lin Baoru's face a little more rosy. She listened to the gurgling sound of the soup in the pot, sniffled and sniffed the overflowing aroma of bones, and stopped her movements in satisfaction.

Thinking that today can be regarded as hospitality, you can't be too stingy. So she took out the vegetables in the pot and buckled them in a large bowl, scooped a scoop of cold water into it, and brushed the bottom of the pot with a broom.

When the remaining water vapor in the pot had been boiled dry, she added a small spoonful of solidified snow-white lard to it. The small piece of oil touched the hot iron pot, and a wisp of white smoke came out in an instant.

Immediately after, she put some chopped green onions into it, and when the fragrance burst out, and put some pork crisp that had been fried and dried yesterday, and when the meat was fragrant, she poured some soft dried cabbage and sauerkraut into the board.

Looking at the fried dishes, Lin Baoru sighed. If it weren't for the lack of garlic at home for her willful fried garlic, this pork crispy stir-fried sauerkraut would definitely be more delicious. But it's not bad at the moment, at least there is meat and vegetables, and when she cooks a bud rice porridge, it's all right.

Thinking so, she shouted while brushing the pot: "Mother, let the eldest mother and aunt stop being busy first, let's eat first." ”

As soon as she said this, Cairu trotted out with a happy face to help her serve the food and the bowl.

Lin Baoru looked at her little face full of smiles, and couldn't help but quip: "Whose handsome girl is this, she smiles so beautifully." ”

Lin Cairu knew that her eldest sister was making fun of herself again, and her little face couldn't help but turn even redder. But she still couldn't hold back, and leaned over to her eldest sister and whispered: "Eldest sister, eldest sister, Aunt Lu said that she would bring us a puppy back in a few days, and my mother agreed...... From now on, we'll have puppies in the yard......"

Sure enough, it's a child's heart.,No matter what life is.,Love to raise furry creatures.。

In fact, Lin Baoru is very much in favor of raising dogs. Although most of the people in Taoxi Village are simple and honest, there are also people who have bad intentions when they climb over the wall, not to mention the current situation of their family, the small fence village and low wall of the thatched house that they have no support, and they can't stop people at all.

The so-called low wall to prevent the gentleman and not the villain, can raise a dog, at least it can have multiple guarantees.

Moreover, for these little radish heads in their own family, they have lacked the company of friends and love over the years, and raising a living creature will probably be better for their growth.

Thinking so, she smiled and said: "Then if you have a dog, you and Caihe have to clean up the yard, and if you have chickens and ducks in the future, you have to pick them up, but you can't let them pull poop in the yard." ”

Lin Cairu nodded and solemnly promised, "Eldest sister, I will definitely take care of our yard." ”

The two snuggled up to each other and talked for a while while roasting the fire in the hearth. It wasn't until the bud rice porridge was cooked that Lin Baoru sent her out to wash her hands with Caihe and Xiaoshan, while she went out to find her eldest brother.

As soon as Lin Baoru got off the dirt slope in front of his house, he saw Lin Mancang carrying two bundles of firewood uphill. She hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out her hand to carry a bundle, but Lin Mancang was slightly wrong.

"There are withered jujube branches in this firewood...... "He said, and he pulled up the thick rope with which the firewood was tied on his back.

Lin Baoru blinked, didn't understand for a while, and subconsciously looked at the two bundles of firewood that were higher than the top of his eldest brother's head. When I saw some of the branches with thorns on them, I understood what the eldest brother meant.

She pursed her lips and smiled, not recklessly, but carefully avoided those sour jujube branches, and carefully helped Lin Mancang to walk home with the bottom of the firewood.

"Mother found Aunt Lu and Aunt Ma to make cotton clothes for us, you were not there at that time, and your size was about the same as the size of the eldest son of Aunt Lu's family, so she sewed it for you according to Brother Da'an's size." Lin Baoru said with a breath.

Not to mention, this Chai He is really heavy enough, just holding it with both hands, she is tired enough to choke.

I don't know how her eldest brother carries it home every day.

She remembered that when she first crossed over, her mother, Wang, also went to chop firewood every day, one or two bundles a day. At that time, she only thought that her mother was bent over by life, but she didn't expect that long before she crossed over, the family had already worked so hard.

Lin Mancang felt the strength on his body lighter, but he didn't say anything. It wasn't until I listened to Lin Baoru's words that I hummed dispensably, and the rest was never expressed.

This meal is not rich, but for the second room of the Lin family, it is probably the best food that can be taken out. Fortunately, Aunt Lu and Aunt Ma both knew the situation of the second room family, not only did they not dislike it, but they also blamed the Wang family and Lin Baoru for being too wasteful.

In that tone, there was obvious distress.

The meal made everyone eat very happily, and when Aunt Ma was eating stew, she looked at Lin Baoru from time to time and asked, "Baoru girl, why is this dish so delicious?" My aunt's family also uses bones and meat to boil vegetables, why doesn't it taste like this? ”

Lin Baoru said with a smile: "I actually boiled the bones in advance, after the bone broth boiled, I buried the fire in the stove, and the heat was also smoked at the bottom of the pot. ”

"Doesn't that cost firewood?" Aunt Ma glanced at her suspiciously.

Lin Baoru knew that she had no malicious intent in what she said, but she simply felt rare, after all, how could the second room be willing to burn firewood casually in the past?

So she explained: "It's not a waste to add a few extra sticks of firewood." I gathered the rest of the charcoal fire together and put it in the brazier to smoke the house. My aunt also knows that even the kang in my house is cold, and if I don't find a way to get some heat in the house, I'm afraid that I won't be able to sleep at night. ”

Aunt Ma nodded, looked at the sparks in the brazier on the side of the table, and sighed: "It's really cooking, just like your mother, she is a person who lives a life." ”

After eating, a few people chatted for a while, and then began to sew clothes. In fact, at this time, the cotton clothes have basically been sewn, and it is only a matter of collecting the stitches.

They sat cross-legged on the kang and talked about the next words.

While they were talking, they heard another burst of shouting outside. Then I heard Lin Baoru, who was busy in the yard, shouting "Uncle Niang" crisply.

Lin Baoru had just turned over the somewhat frozen cloth in his hand and dried it when he heard someone enter the yard.

"The second one's family, are you at home?" Zhang's came over with a wooden basin around his waist, and when he saw Lin Baoru talking, his face couldn't help but be a little ugly. However, she didn't dare to open her mouth to scold again, but waved her hand at Lin Baoru and said, "You greet me, do your job." I'm looking for your mother for something. ”

Lin Baoru's eyes fell on the wooden basin, she didn't wash the clothes of the old mansion once or twice, just at a glance, she saw that there were Liu's jackets and gowns in the basin, as well as Zhang's horse-faced skirt, and there seemed to be a few light-colored ...... hidden underneath

She walked a few steps forward without smiling, just blocking Zhang's steps into the main house, "Auntie, what are you ...... Do you want to do laundry? ”

Seeing her like this, Zhang felt a little strange in his heart. But when she saw Lin Baoru asking, she nodded and said, "Your grandmother always says that your mother's laundry is clean, doesn't this let me take a few things that I just replaced?" Speaking of which, it's still your mother's heart. ”

Lin Baoru tugged at the corners of her mouth, admiring Zhang's ability to open her eyes and tell nonsense. But she saw that the Zhang family was also thick-skinned, and the two families in front of her were torn like that, who in the whole village didn't know about the filth of the two rooms of the Lao Lin family?

The partial family can not care when they turn their heads, and they want Cairu and Caihe to pick up the child for her, and then they will send dirty clothes!

But this person really doesn't remember to eat, and he has to let people see jokes to know how to converge.
