CHAPTER XXXIII
Probably because she thinks that a few children have been hungry for so long, and there are not many pork crisps.
So when Lin Mancang came back, Lin Baoru said to the Wang family who was taking Xiaoshan. Then, he went to the house and took the last fan bone that Da Berlin had sent before.
The fan is not big, and it has some shredded flesh on it.
Lin Baoru called Cairu to come over, put the bud rice porridge in the pot into a bowl, and then stewed the cleaned fan bones into the cauldron.
also lost the bud rice porridge, which she made with a small number of people, and a bowl for each person had just been served. So at this time, she can smoothly vacate the only pot in the house.
Lin Baoru saw that the soup in the pot was fragrant, so she put some coarse salt in it and boiled it. She looked at the pot in front of her, and suddenly remembered the small stove she saw in the courtyard of Lizheng's house on the day she went to separate the family.
The stove is made of wheat straw and yellow mud, which looks small and easy to move, and if it is fried in warm water, it can also save a lot of firewood. But the important thing is that they have to buy a new small iron pot.
She thought a little in her heart, if she used hot water all day this winter, then there would be more than a dozen bundles of firewood burned than usual. And his mother and eldest brother went to sell firewood, and a bundle of firewood could be sold for two cents. In this way, it is still cost-effective to bite the bullet and buy a new pot.
Besides, the small stove is easy to use, and you can cook a pot of rice by picking up a few dead branches......
Just when she was planning to discuss the purchase of the pot with her mother, Lin Mancang also came back with the last load of water. He filled the water tank and covered it with a sorghum dustpin, and then washed his hands under Lin Baoru's gaze.
Lin Baoru couldn't help but chuckle when he took the initiative to wash his hands without making a sound.
"Big brother, you can be a role model for Xiaoshan now." She spoke briskly, and when she saw that Lin Mancang's dark face suddenly turned a little red, she stopped laughing.
When she first crossed over before, not only Lin Mancang, but also Cairu and Caihe, and even the Wang family didn't care too much about washing their hands before eating. Not to mention the hill that is so small that he always sleeps during the day, and the little guy can almost say that he doesn't scrub once for two or three days.
At that time, she looked at the dark hill, and couldn't help it, and washed the hill inside and out while dipping it in warm water. Every day from then on, she would always ask the family to wash their hands and faces, and then brush their teeth and rinse their mouths with thin wicker branches that do not scratch their mouths.
At first, the family was very unaccustomed. Occasionally, the eldest aunt knew about it, and laughed at their family's hypocrisy, which was very unpleasant.
However, Lin Baoru is not a soft persimmon, and only asked her if she didn't know if the lobby brother washed his face and rinsed his mouth. Probably since then, she has become the ignorant granddaughter of Liu and Zhang. Later, because of her successive confrontations, the Liu family and the Zhang family were ruthless and beat her out of the door of the Lin family.
Unexpectedly, in the end, the Wang family, who she actually drummed, made up her mind to split up.
But now, Lin Baoru doesn't care what the Liu family and the Zhang family think of her.
Regardless of whether it is the disaster star in Liu's mouth or the white-eyed wolf in Zhang's words, just let them worry about it.
Lin Baoru thought clearly, and thought that as long as the family had one heart, even if they couldn't be rich and expensive in the future, they would never be without enough food and clothing. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but hum a song.
Stuffed the last handful of firewood into the stove and covered the pot with the stewed fan bones, and Lin Baoru entered the house.
The fan bone broth she stewed was not intended for the family to drink here. It's really because the food at home is not full, and before it gets dark and goes to bed, people are already hungry.
She is better with the Wang family and Lin Mancang, after all, she has grown up. It's just that when Cairu is growing a few small bones, if you are so hungry and endure it every day, your body will have problems sooner or later.
In the room, no one at the table moved their chopsticks, until she came in, Cai Ru and Cai He turned their heads and waved at her, "Sister, come and eat." ”
Xiaoshan also shook his little head, supported the half-human-high table and walked to Lin Baoru's side, and whispered as he walked: "Xiaoshan is next to the eldest sister...... Xiaoshan loves the big sister ......"
Wang held back a smile and pretended to be angry and patted the little guy's head, "Little conscienceless, my mother coaxed you for a long time, but I didn't expect you to become a little traitor as soon as you saw your eldest sister......"
Xiaoshan turned his head and glanced at Wang, and saw that Wang's was really not smiling, so he pouted and staggered back, touched Wang's arm with his little hand and coaxed: "I like my mother too!" ”
When he said this, everyone laughed again.
Lin Baoru went to the basket hanging on the beam, took the bag of dim sum that she brought back yesterday, took a piece and put it in front of Xiaoshan, raised her eyebrows and teased him, "If you like the eldest sister, you can have a little heart." ”
Xiaoshan looked at the fragrant dim sum, looked at the Wang family again, and said embarrassedly: "That Xiaoshan likes ......"
Seeing that his little face was wrinkled in embarrassment, Lin Baoru couldn't help but smile and leaned back, and finally stopped laughing after Xiaoshan ran over and got into her arms with dissatisfaction.
"There are eight pieces of this snack, Xiaoshan and Caihe are the smallest, two pieces per person, let's try the rest." Lin Baoru said, and in Caihe's bright eyes, she handed over two round pastries and fruits with a layer of frosting on the surface.
However, Caihe didn't take two pieces, and she didn't hesitate to push the other piece in her hand to her eldest sister.
"The eldest sister eats, I'm small, I eat less, and I can eat one piece for several days." Caihe happily held his own dim sum, tilted his head and looked at his eldest sister and said, "Eat more, eldest sister, you won't be uncomfortable in the future." ”
Xiaoshan, who was originally holding the dim sum in his little hand, probably remembered that it would be uncomfortable for the eldest sister in the pig killing platform, so he quickly raised his hand and put his dim sum on the eldest sister's mouth, "Xiaoshan's, also give ...... to the eldest sister"
He is still young, and he has never eaten enough, so he didn't have an accurate head in his hand, and directly poked the dim sum on Lin Baoru's chin. The puff pastry of the fruit fell a little bit of crumbs, which made the little child feel distressed.
"Eldest sister, there are still here, and we will have delicious food to eat together in the future." As she spoke, she took another piece and handed it to Cairu.
Cai Ru looked at the eldest sister, and saw that Cai He and Xiao Shan both tasted it in small bites, and finally couldn't help swallowing and spitting, and took a bite on the tempting dim sum fruit.
The sweet taste instantly spread in her mouth, provoking her to grin.
Lin Baoru saw a few small ones eating with a happy face, and looked at the Wang family, who didn't take snacks, and said to Lin Mancang, "Mother, big brother, you can also taste it." After a pause, she said, "Don't say keep it and save it, now our family should take good care of our bodies." ”
As she spoke, she leaned over and stuffed the dim sum into the hands of Wang and Lin Mancang respectively, "Mother, eldest brother, our family, only if we are all well, can we have hope for the future." ”
Without the blood-sucking leeches, their heaviest burden is gone. In the future, even if you do hard labor, you will always be able to have more money.
When Lin Mancang heard her say this, he stopped pushing it, and silently took a bite of the dim sum he had eaten when he was a child.
"Big brother, it's delicious." Caihe was young, licked his lips stained with puff pastry and said. That little appearance is very pleasing. As she spoke, she took a small bite like a little hamster, looked at her eldest sister and mother, and urged, "Mother, eldest sister, you should also eat it quickly, it's delicious." ”
With the more and more lively Caihe, the atmosphere in the house has also returned to relaxed and warm. Even Lin Mancang, who was expressionless all year round, raised his head and winked at Caihe.
Wang looked at the appearance of several children, and listened to Caihe and Xiaoshan chattering in his ears, his heart was warm, and his somewhat sore eyes were full of love and happiness.
This meal is not dull, with the amusement of Caihe and Xiaoshan, and Cairu's words of demolishing Xiaoshan's platform from time to time, so there is always laughter and laughter in the house.
And the Wang family seems to understand his own Baoru's thoughts more and more, just like now, as long as he doesn't mention the old mansion, he doesn't have to live in fear and promises, and he doesn't have to endure the accusations and dislike of his mother-in-law and Dafang.
Even if their family can barely eat, the big guys are happy.
After eating, Wang and Cairu picked up the dishes and chopsticks, Lin Mancang went to clean the firewood and he, and Caihe led the hill to watch Lin Baoru clean up the pig pancreas.
"Eldest sister, can you really make the kind of pancreas your father said?" Lin Caihe squatted on the side, holding her face to see her eldest sister peeling off the slimy and dirty layer on the outside of the pig pancreas, and seeing that the eldest sister put those pig pancreas aside one by one as treasures, she couldn't help but ask.
Lin Baoru looked at her and Xiaoshan and waited for her to answer, so she smiled and said, "I don't know, but if you can help me find a flat stone, maybe I will be more likely to make it." ”
Lin Caihe scratched his head, and he didn't understand what his eldest sister was doing with bluestone. But the second sister told her that everything the eldest sister said was right. So although she had doubts in her heart at this moment, she still hummed and jumped out of the yard.
The most important thing in the mountains is stones, and they used to go to the ditch to wash their clothes, and the market would bring back one or two beautiful stones. Later, my mother and eldest sister began to help people wash clothes, but there was no decent washboard at home, so she and her second sister went to find a lot of boards and stones, so that my mother and eldest sister could use them to wash clothes.
Unexpectedly, it will be used at this time.
It didn't take much effort for her to pick the best-looking one and hug it back to Lin Baoru.
"Eldest sister, is this okay?"
Lin Baoru saw her little head tilted over as if she was invited, and couldn't help but smile and praise a few words, causing her to raise her little chin proudly.
"Big sister, big sister, what else can I do?" It's probably because he's been praised for a little cocked tail, and Caihe can't wait to find something to do.
"Get me some ash for the laundry."
Lin Baoru, who has long been familiar with the lotus picking temperament, has no hesitation in assigning work to her at this time. The left and right are just to take something at home, to find a little assistant for themselves, and to coax Caihe to be happy, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.
After a while, Caihe brought the ashes to Lin Baoru.
Now that everything is ready, Lin Baoru began to smash the pig's pancreas on the stone slab with a mallet.
Irregular and even a little slippery. The greasy pig pancreas is not easy to smash. Just one piece made Lin Baoru's smashed arm sore, but it didn't look like the paste she wanted.
She let out a sigh of relief, gritted her teeth, and took a break for another rhythmic smash. After a long time, until the pig's pancreas was completely rotten into mud, she carefully washed the fine wood ash used for her laundry and filled it with water.
Originally, she only put a little bit of water, which was only enough to get the fine wood ash wet, so at this time, she only stirred and smashed it a little time, and the wood ash was completely kneaded into the pig pancreatic slurry.
