Early the next morning

Zhao Laosan, as usual, got up early, and went to the field to take a look as usual. When the land was ploughed, it was time to plant the crops.

After coming back from the field, Zhao Laosan thought that he hadn't steamed steamed buns for some days, so he mixed some flour, and after the flour was ready, he carried the basket to the river to dig lotus roots.

The lotus root in autumn is easier to dig than the lotus root in summer, the river is not so turbulent, and many lotus leaves are already yellow and wilted. In the shallow water, the white lotus root knots are directly exposed on the water.

Zhao Laosan took off his shoes, pulled up his trouser legs, put the back basket on the river ridge, and went into the water. The water in late autumn is a little cool. After a while, I dug up seven or eight sections of lotus roots.

Today, I was going to my mother-in-law's house, and there was no lotus root in the river in Sujia Village, so he dug a few more sections and brought them to my mother-in-law. This lotus root is section by section, fat and white and clean, and after being washed in the river water, he shook off the water on his head, and then carried it on his back and went home.

When I got home, my little lady had already gotten up. Rao discussed it yesterday, and she was going home today, Su Mi's sleep was also very shallow, and after the man got up, she never fell asleep again.

Su Mi Mali washed his face, rinsed his mouth, and saw that the man had made flour, and knew that he was going to steam the buns. Tie the apron around the waist, roll up the sleeves, reveal two moon-white wrists, and knead the dough.

"Lady, why don't you sleep more?"

Su Mi raised his eyes and saw that the man was wet and carrying a basket of white lotus roots on his back, so he knew that he had gone to the river, so he hurriedly wiped his hands and went to put the man's back basket next: "I thought I was going back to my mother's house today, so I couldn't sleep." ”

Zhao Laosan felt sorry for his little lady, for fear that she would be tired, and a pair of dark eyes stared at her white cheeks: "If the lady feels that she can't walk, I will be alone, and I will come back early at night." ”

Su Mi smiled, and didn't answer her man, she decided to go back and take a look. Since the last time, her sister-in-law died, she has not gone back to see her mother-in-law.

Seeing that the man was soaked by the river, he was afraid that the man would be sick, so a pair of small hands pulled the coarse cloth coat on the man's body, and his voice was warm and soft: "Husband, go and change your clothes, it's not good if you're sick!" ”

In her eyes, her little lady smiled, her white teeth were as white as mutton fat jade, and her eyebrows were rippling with blue waves, which was full of tenderness. Zhao Laosan couldn't help but stretch out his hand and pinched his little lady's cheek: "What the lady says, it's what it is!" ”

Zhao Laosan went to the bedroom to change and wash the clothes, which he only wore this morning, and he was not going to take it to the river to wash, so he put it on the rope held in the yard and dried it.

When I arrived at the stove room, my little lady had already divided the flour into small and even agents. This beige agent was placed on the cutting board, Su Mi had a pair of small hands, also dipped in flour, and looked like a little farmer's daughter-in-law, very virtuous.

"Husband, there is so much flour today, are you going to bring some buns back to your mother?" Su Mi counted about fifty buns, and the two of them ate at most a dozen or so, and the rest, thinking, his man was prepared for his mother's family.

"My mother likes to eat steamed buns at home, this weather is cold, the buns can be put for a few days, so I will make more!" Zhao Laosan picked up the kitchen knife and put the white lotus root in a small round dustpan, first cut it into evenly sized pieces, and then chopped it into small lotus roots.

This lotus root is naturally grown in the river, without fertilization, after cutting into lotus roots, the whole stove room is the fragrance of lotus roots. Su Mi sniffed and swallowed her saliva: "Husband, this bun hasn't been made yet, and I'm already drooling." ”

After the man knew that his little lady was pregnant, he was hungry faster, and his movements were sharper. Then, chop some green onions, ginger and garlic, and lean meat, together with each other.

Su Mi's work in his hands was unambiguous, and he wrapped the buns with very neat movements. In a moment, four or five buns were wrapped on the round dustpan. The round body, with a circle of even lace on the top, looks better than the cooks in the town and the restaurant.

Zhao Laosan is a little coarse, this bun is relatively large, and the lace on the top is not very even. After wrapping up half of it, he simply didn't wrap it up, and hurriedly went to the stove to make a fire.

Zhao Laosan will go to the mountains to chop firewood once a month, when he was alone in the past, this firewood could not be burned at all, and the firewood room behind the house was still full of dry firewood.

The fire was very vigorous, and when the water in the pot boiled, Zhao Laosan put the buns wrapped by his little lady in the steamer. There are a lot of steamed buns today, and they can't be steamed at one time, so they have to be steamed twice.

This meat is made of fresh and lean meat, and after a short time of being put in the pot, you can smell the aroma of steamed buns and lotus roots. Su Mi was particularly energetic when he started these things.

"Husband, when our doll is a little older, this war is over, how about we go to the town and open a shop to sell steamed buns and tofu?" Su Mi likes to make these foods, as if she has a talent in this area, but whatever she has eaten, as long as there are ingredients, she can make it in her hands.

"It's not important to open a shop, but I'm afraid that the lady will be tired!" This restaurant and food shop are not child's play, they have to be busy from morning to night, Zhao Laosan is reluctant to work so tiring as a white little lady.

"Husband, I like to make these foods!"

If you say a word, the two steamer buns I said will all be steamed. After coming out of the pot, Zhao Laosan cooked some green vegetables, put some lard and green onions in the green vegetables, and brought them to the table, so that the little lady could eat them together.

This bun is very fragrant, take a bite of it, the meat is wrapped in crispy lotus roots, and I don't feel tired at all, and then I drink a mouthful of fragrant green vegetable soup, and I am very satisfied.

The two of them are fat and beautiful on this small day, and Su Mi's heart is sweet. Now that she is a husband, even if she gives it to a Da Luo Immortal, she will not change it.

After eating, Su Mi was cleaning up the stove room, and the man brought a slightly larger basket, put some oiled paper for wrapping tofu under his head, and packed all the remaining thirty or so buns in it. After it was installed, Su Mi brought a brocade and covered it on top.

The two of them packed up, and the sky was just dawning, so they went to Sujia Village.

When he arrived at the market, Zhao Laosan bought some herbs to replenish qi and blood, and bought some pork before going to his mother-in-law's house.

Su Mi is in a particularly good spirit today, her cheeks are ruddy, her eyes are like autumn waves, and her eyebrows are full of joy. The man was afraid that she would be tired, so he took several breaks along the way. Fortunately, it's autumn, and the sun isn't so hot. Today, the sun simply did not come out, and the two of them walked up, and it was not so hot.

When I arrived at the entrance of Sujia Village, Su's mother happened to go to the river to wash clothes and come back. Seeing that it was his daughter and son-in-law who were smiling, Su Mi was also relieved, thinking that her mother was angry because of her sister-in-law's doll.

Stretched out his hand and pulled his mother: "Mother, aren't you angry about this doll?" ”

Su's mother sighed, thinking of her uncompetitive son: "I also figured it out, instead of letting the doll stay in our Su family and live with the uncompetitive father, it is better to go to the Gu family and be the eldest lady." Although he was raised in the Gu family, he is also a descendant of our Su family, which is fine! ”

Seeing that her mother finally figured out this reason, Su Mi took the wooden basin in her hand with a smile: "Mother, then you will not treat the doll badly!" ”

"Your brother went to see it, but he attached great importance to this doll over there, and the girl was taken care of every day, and her grandfather also attached great importance to this doll."

After Su's mother finished speaking, she looked at her daughter, and she hadn't seen it for half a month, and her belly was bigger: "You are petite, and you are pregnant more than others, so you should pay attention to yourself!" ”

"How can my mother be the same as my husband, so is my husband, let me pay attention every day, my ears are almost calloused!" Although Su Mi is counting down his own man on his lips, his heart is sweet.

"Mi'er, be content! Behold, apart from you, there is a woman who is pregnant, and does not go down to work in the fields! Su's mother liked her son-in-law very much, and knew that he felt sorry for her daughter, so she was also biased in his words.

"My mother is eccentric, and now I have to protect my son-in-law everywhere!" Su Mi grimaced and looked at her husband with a smile.

The three of them talked and laughed and returned to Su's house, and Su Mi was worried about Su Binghuai, so he went to the inner room to take a look. Seeing that he was only covered in a gray-white lining, lying on the bed, a man was very thin.

"Brother, are you infected with the wind chill?" Seeing that he was coughing, Su Mi reached out and touched his forehead. This forehead is not hot, but it is cold.

"Don't care if I'm dead or alive, my mother-in-law just said, it's better to let me die!" Su Binghuai said while coughing.

This time, he went to the outskirts of Beijing, and it took him four or five days to go back and forth, and he still spent money to hire a carriage. When I arrived at the Gu family, my mother-in-law didn't give herself a good look, and she didn't even let the door in, only saying that everything was fine with this doll in the Gu family, and there was no congenital deficiency at the moment.

Although he dislikes it as a female doll, but after all, it is his own doll, this Su Binghuai kept watch at the door of the ancient house for a day, and he didn't let him see the doll. Later, the master of the Gu family, for the sake of the face of the master of the Su family, gave him two taels of silver, sent him away, and went home as soon as possible.

This time he came back and got sick, Su Mu asked him to go to Langzhong several times to have a look, he estimated that the knot in his heart had not been opened, and he had been lying on the bed, not eating, drinking, or going to see Langzhong. Su Mu called Zhou Langzhong in the village, and he didn't even let others in, so he coaxed him out.

The disease is getting worse day by day, and Su's mother is also angry, she has been poured mold for eight lifetimes to have such an unsuccessful son. simply ignore him, let him love as he wants.
