Chapter 46: Collecting Wild Mushrooms (2)
Su Mi was picking up her energy, and when she saw the woman of the Luo family making fun of herself like this, she opened her mouth and smiled, her lips were red and her teeth were white, and she looked very cute: "My sister is really good at laughing, but the man in my family is good-tempered and willing to let me everywhere!" ”
This forest is luxuriant, the towering trees are not visible at a glance, and there are many wild fungi under this foot. Su Mi's movements were very sharp, and after half an hour's effort, this basket was full of wild mushrooms. Because the woman of the Luo family is pregnant, she has to squat down to collect wild mushrooms, and her movements are slower.
"Sister, I'll help you!" Su Mi put his basket on a rock, pinched the apron with a pair of small hands, and quickly selected the wild mushrooms on the ground with the other hand.
This wild mushroom has an attractive color under the infiltration of morning dew, Su Mi's hands and feet are relatively light, and there are crystal clear dewdrops on it when he picks it up. The apron was full in a while, and when it was put into the basket of the women of the Luo family, it was almost half of the basket.
The two of them went down the mountain with the basket on their backs, it was easy to go up the mountain, but it was more slippery to go down, Su Mi walked in front and turned his head to look at the woman of the Luo family from time to time, for fear that she would slip.
Walking slowly like this, it took an hour to reach the entrance of Zhaojia Village, and Su Mi finally breathed a sigh of relief. The two put down their baskets and sat down on the stone slabs to rest.
"Sister Luo, your belly is getting bigger and bigger day by day, you should be careful, this work of going up and down the mountain, you should wait for the doll to go down the ground!" Su Mi was worried all the way, for fear that the Luo Qing woman would drop the doll in her belly.
Unexpectedly, when the woman of the Luo family heard this, she sneered, pouted and looked at the field: "Sister, look at these women in the field, some of them are about to give birth, and they are still planting seedlings, and there are not many who can do full-term after giving birth, what is it to go up the mountain to pick up wild mushrooms?" ”
Su Mi followed the eyes of the women of the Luo family, and there were many pregnant women in this field, who worked faster than men, and there was no ambiguity at all.
After the two separated, they each walked towards their home. Su Mi couldn't help but sigh that it was his man who doted on himself too much, and he didn't let himself do the work in the field, and even the work at home, the man rushed to do it.
Thinking of this, my heart is sweet, as if I have drunk a bowl of honey. When he got home, it was already noon, and the man was busy working in the stove room, and when he saw that his little lady was back, he hurriedly took the basket and said in a low voice: "The lady picks so many wild mushrooms, and she is not afraid of being tired, how much can the two of us eat?" ”
Seeing that the man felt sorry for himself, Su Mi grinned, his teeth were neat and tidy, and his soft lips were ruddy and good-looking: "Husband is too used to me, in fact, I can do anything." Although we can't finish eating this wild mushroom, we can dry some of it and eat it in winter. Doesn't my husband like to eat steamed buns? You can also cut it into fine cubes, fry it with sun-dried tofu and tempeh, and make it into mushroom sauce and eat it with steamed buns! ”
Originally, I felt sorry for my little lady, but when I saw her with an excited face, her eyes were very clear, and the man's heart was relieved: "I know that the little lady is virtuous, but I'm afraid that you will be tired!" ”
went outside, it was only noon, Su Mi felt hungry and panicked, and when he arrived at the stove, the man had already washed all the dishes. There is also a piece of lean meat, cut into thin strips, and there are washed green peppers in the basket, which are green and raw, and they are very appetizing, and they are also cut into thin strips and fried with shredded meat.
The man sat in front of the stove, the heat was well controlled, and the aroma of meat and vegetables in the pot wafted out and lingered in the stove room. After marrying Zhao Laosan, he had to eat a meal of meat every three or five days, and he was very fat and beautiful these days. Su Mi sat at the dining table, eating shredded meat, her heart was sweet and warm.
Seeing that the man ate little and only ate two bowls of rice, Su Mi knew that he was deliberately giving up the meat for himself, so he picked up chopsticks and put a lot of chopsticks into his bowl: "If my husband lets me eat such a meal again, then our family will not have to sell meat in the future!" ”
Seeing that the little lady in front of me was pouting, her delicate cheeks were gentle and fair, and her pair of autumn water was very clear, and her heart was very pitiful: "The lady is growing her body, and she wants to eat some meat!" ”
"I'm not a girl anymore, I'm your daughter-in-law, and I'm still growing up?"
The man's dark cheeks flickered with the light shining from the window, Su Mi stared carefully, and saw that his cheeks were like knives, thick eyebrows and black eyes, the bridge of his nose was high, and his thin lips were slightly curved: "If the husband eats more and gains more weight, he may look better." ”
The man moved quickly, and the rice in the bowl was seen in a few clicks, and he saw that his little lady's lips were as red as March peach blossoms, and a pair of pear vortices at the corners of his mouth were cute and charming, so he didn't want to argue with his little lady, and he smiled at the bottom of his eyes: "Then I will listen to the lady, just eat more meat!" ”
Seeing that her husband listened to her words like this, Su Mi's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and her clear cheeks were flushed with a hint of redness: "Husband, obediently, go and rest for a while after eating, I'll go and pour out the wild mushrooms!" ”
Zhao Laosan knew that his little lady was afraid that she had a fever yesterday, so in order to make her feel relieved, she let her clean up the stove room and obediently went to the bedroom to rest.
Although it was a trivial matter, lying on the bed, Zhao Laosan felt that his heart was extremely soft. It's been a long time since I've had this kind of pleasant feeling, and the little lady's smile swirls in his head. Before I knew it, I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
Su Mi cleaned up the stove room, took two dustpans, and gently took out all the wild mushrooms in the basket. Looking at a back basket, placed in this dustpan, there are two dustpans of red, red and purple. A pair of small hands rolled up their sleeves, revealing their white wrists, pinched the muddy part of the roots, and wiped the moss on the top with a gray-white brocade handkerchief, and then rinsed it with cool well water.
After the wild mushroom was cleaned and put in a dustpan, it became more and more lovely. Seeing so much, thinking that the two of them couldn't finish eating freshly, they picked out the big ones, put them in the basket, and took them to the stone slab outside the courtyard to dry. The rest was divided into two parts, and the youngest went to the stove and took a basin, and put it in it, and prepared the supper and the kimchi to cook in the evening. The other part is taken to a cutting board and cut into fine cubes with a kitchen knife and dried.
After the diced mushrooms were dried up, Su Mi took the dried tofu, cut some dried bamboo shoots, and fried them in an oil pan with the tempeh. Thinking that there was meat at home, I also cut some fat meat and put it in it. The aroma in the stove room is fragrant, when the ingredients are fried, when the pot is raised, then put some spiced star anise and chili noodles in it, put it in the bowl and the oil is moist, eat a star, the mouth is full of wild mushrooms and the smell of meat.
Seeing that it was getting late, the sky was thousands of miles away, and the chimney on the roof of the Zhao family was emitting white smoke all afternoon.
Thinking that his husband had never gone to the mountain to pick wild mushrooms, the wild mushrooms in this pot were cut into small pieces, and half a bowl of hot and sour kimchi was fried together.
The man slept all afternoon, and when he got up, the little lady's meal in the stove room had been cooked. Smelling the sour and spicy wild mushrooms, I swallowed my saliva.
The two of them had dinner, and the day was not yet dark. Su Mi saw that the mushroom sauce in this pot was cool, so he took out two crockpots with pastries and put them up.
"This mushroom sauce is a bit too much, next time I go back to my parents' house, bring some for them, my sister-in-law is pregnant now, she must like this taste." Su Mi said while sealing the altar.
Zhao Laosan rested for an afternoon, and now he only felt that he was full of strength, and helped his little lady to put away all the four jars of mushroom sauce and put them in the highest part of the cupboard.
The man couldn't sleep at night, so he took some books from the cupboard and read them. Su Mi was surprised to see his man reading under the oil lamp, and pasted it with a wireframe: "Husband, do you know how to read?" ”
Sideways, the woman's eyes under the oil lamp were gentle, and she couldn't bear to lie to her, and nodded: "The books I used to read were just flipped!" ”
When Su Mi was in the capital, he also read books, all of which were taught by the Su family's father. When I arrived in Sujia Village, I never turned over the books again. Seeing that the man was reading some books about weapons, he was not interested: "Although my father picked it up and raised it, my father cherished me when I was a child, I have read all these four books and five classics, and I also wrote when I was a child!" ”
Hearing what the lady said, Zhao Laosan's eyes were stunned, thinking that his little lady was a rural village woman, but he didn't expect that he had read all four books and five classics. Hurriedly closed the military book in his hand, for fear that the woman would take a closer look.
Fortunately, under the oil lamp, Su Mi only thought about the shoes he had in hand, which was made for Zhao Laosan. Summer is coming, the upper and sole of the shoe should be thinner, so that it can be breathable, and if you are quick with your hands and feet tonight, you can finish it.
"Husband, what are you thinking? Su Mi lowered his head, a pair of small hands, threaded the needle and thread, and his movements were very quick.
The man's back was dripping with sweat, and after only a few pages of this military book, he remembered the past. Committed to this, I originally wanted to abandon everything and live a peaceful life, but I didn't expect those terrifying pasts like dark nights to overwhelm my thoughts.
Seeing that the man ignored him, Su Mi raised his eyes and shouted twice, and Zhao Laosan heard it.
"I'm thinking, this summer tofu business is not good, what kind of business do we have to change!" Zhao Laosan's eyebrows were slightly twisted, and his cheeks were a little pale under the oil lamp.
"The money that the husband has saved is enough to spend, and this summer, I can plant rice well and do some farm work!" Su Mi just wants to be tired of being with her man every day, and she doesn't want to have any money.
Every day, men go to the town to sell tofu, and Su Mi is at home, like a wangfu stone, and his eyes are almost seen through at the entrance of the village, so he waits for his man to come back.
"That lady is not afraid to live a hard life with me?"
The shoe on his right foot had been retracted, Su Mi put down the scissors in his hand, squatted on the ground and picked up the man's foot, and put the shoe on. Seeing that it was just right, he opened his mouth and smiled: "My husband has a lot of healing scars, and I know that my husband doesn't want to say it, so I won't ask." My husband is not afraid of hard days, what am I afraid of now, when I was at my mother's house, I ate bran vegetables, and I only ate one meal a day, and I came over! ”
