Chapter 12: Thanksgiving

In the yard, Ni Yirou had already gone home with her father, and Yan Nian pulled a handful of sawdust from the pile of discarded wood and threw it into the stove and burned it.

Sitting at the mouth of the stove, Yan Nian took the hunter's clip and studied it.

The wild boar is very small, and the pork is easy to stew, and when the two little treasures in the house were impatient, Yan Nian had already cut a small pot of pork and brought it to the house.

Looking at the pot full of pork, Yanyan's little mouth couldn't close with a smile, and she opened her little hand and shouted, "Mother, Yanyan wants to eat meat." ”

Five-year-old Nono has been calm, but his big eyes are talking, and he has been staring into the basin, grunting and swallowing saliva.

Yan Nian brought up the dishes and chopsticks, "Come to Nuo Nuo and eat quickly, mother feed my sister." ”

Yan Nian sandwiched a large piece of meat for Nuo Nuo and put it in the bowl, and Xiao Nuo said sensibly: "Mother eats first." As he spoke, he tore off a piece of meat with his little hand and gave it to Yan Nian.

opened his mouth to catch the pork that his son fed him, Yan Nian's tears couldn't be stopped anymore, and they flowed down his cheeks.

Seeing his mother crying, the sensible Nuo Nuo hurriedly stepped forward to help Yan Nian wipe her tears with her sleeve: "Mother doesn't cry, when Nuo Nuo grows up in the future, she will earn a lot of silver and buy meat for her mother to eat!" ”

Three-year-old Yanyan now has meat in the basin in her eyes, chewing in her mouth, stretching out two little fingers, pinching out a small piece of meat from the bowl, looking at it, and turning around and giving it to her mother.

At this time, Yan Nian was happy, surrounded by these two angels, and felt very lucky. There are two cute little babies in one rebirth, although they have not been married in their previous life and have no experience in bringing babies, but with the memory of the original owner, it is more than enough to feed the two little treasures.

The lady quickly finished eating, or rather, the meat, because there was not a grain of grain in the meal.

When Yan Nian finished packing up everything and returned to the room, he saw that the two Xiaobao had fallen asleep.

The two children have not been nourished for a long time, although the childishness of the baby on the face has not been taken off, but the body is skinny, and it looks very pitiful.

Yan Nian gently covered the two babies with the quilt, went to the ground, and took out the three pig thighs cooked in the pot, drained them and put them in a wooden basin.

Soak the remaining large piece of raw pork in cold water, put it on a half-section of the water tank, and cover it with two wooden boards.

At this time, Carpenter Ni also came back from eating, and Yan Nian went out with a basin: "Uncle Ni, I'll go out, you have to help me take care of the children." ”

"Okay, Sande daughter-in-law, go and go back quickly." Uncle Ni opened one eye and closed one eye, hanging on the straight line on the wooden board and said.

Yan Nian agreed and walked out of the gate and walked directly to the gate of He Ling's house, a neighbor in the lower courtyard.

Looking at the pork in Yan Nian's small wooden basin, He Ling couldn't believe her eyes, and asked Yan Nian in surprise: "Xiaoqiang came back and said that you carried back the wild boar on the mountain, I still don't believe it!" That's when I hear a pig crying, it turns out to be your house! ”

Yan Nian told He Ling about meeting this little wild boar on the mountain.

"Hurry up and take it back to the children, I often buy meat at home."

"Can you buy one that tastes better than mine?" Yan Nian took out a piece and put it down, and ran out of He Ling's house, and He Ling shouted behind him: "Look at you, then thank you Yan Nian, sister." ”

Yan Nian took the wooden basin and sent it to Aunt Zhang's house.

When he walked to Aunt Zhang's house out of breath, Yan Nian was covered in sweat. Although the day in June is not scorching, there are times when people can't stand the heat.

Brother Huai opened the door and looked at the wooden basin in Yan Nian's hand suspiciously: "Third sister-in-law, what are you doing?" ”

Yan Nian smiled and didn't answer Brother Huai's question, and stepped directly into the door: "Where is the eldest mother?" ”

Aunt Zhang was sitting on the kang in the house, and when she saw Yan Nian coming, she hurriedly stretched out her legs and went to the ground: "Oh, Yan Nian, what are you doing?" ”

"Auntie, I met a little wild boar on the mountain today, and his leg was caught by the hunting clip, so I cooked it at home, no, I will send you a thigh, and I will send one to Uncle Song's family when I go back."

Zhang hurriedly said: "Look at this child, the eldest lady knows that you just moved out and you don't have anything to eat, so hurry up and bring it back!" ”

Then he said: "Brother Huai, quickly, decorate our rice and white noodles for your third sister-in-law." ”

Brother Huai promised to turn around and go to the stove room, Yan Nian hurriedly shook his hand, "Auntie, don't be like this, my children and I don't eat much, everyone is short of food and rice these days, you really don't have a head to give it like this!" ”

As he spoke, Yan Nian took out a front pork leg from the basin, put it on a pair of boxes on the ground of the eldest mother's house, and turned around and walked quickly to the door.

Brother Huai happened to pack a few scoops of rice and a little noodles and came out of the stove room, and when he saw Yan Nian kicking in and out of the door, he hurriedly shouted, "Sister-in-law, hurry up and get it for you." ”

"No, I'll leave first."

Yan Nian came today to thank others, and thought that he would resolutely not accept other people's things.

Watching Yan Nian run out of the door, Brother Huai shook his head and returned to the room.

The next stop is to straighten out the house.

Yan Nian knocked on the door of Lizheng again, and watched the Qin family come out and open the door, Yan Nian shouted with a smile: "Where is my aunt at home?" ”

"At home, at home, isn't it, just after dinner, your Uncle Song is busy in the room, I'm a little sleepy."

Yan Nian talked to the Qin clan as he walked inside.

At this time, Liu Erqing passed by the gate of Lizheng, watched Yan Nian enter the courtyard with a basin, and quietly stopped to listen to the conversation between the Qin family and Yan Nian.

The Qin family was no exception, and asked Yan Nian what was in this pot?

Yan Nian said with a smile: "Wild boar, the little wild boar I met on the mountain, Xiaobao and I can't eat it, so we give it to my uncle and aunt." So saying, he was about to go into the house.

"Hey! You said that you kid, hurry up and take it back, you also know Uncle Song's temper, you can't ask for your things. ”

"Yan Nian didn't bother you a lot, I didn't want to go, I don't have anything to repay you, you can take it!"

At this time, Song Bo came out of the house, "What's the matter?" Yan Nian, what's wrong with you? ”

Yan Nian saw that Uncle Song had misunderstood what was going on with him, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "It's okay this time Uncle Song, I'm here to deliver some meat, let's go!" After saying that, he put down the tub and went out.

"You wait for the daughter-in-law of Sande, take this away, it's not that Uncle Song doesn't give you face, Uncle Song never accepts gifts from others."

After speaking, Li Zheng turned around and looked at the Qin family again: "You send Yan Nian, I'm busy going back to the house." ”

Looking at Li Zheng, who returned to the room, Qin said with a smile: "Look at it, I said that no one can do this old stubbornness, you can take it back quickly." ”

Yan Nian was a little embarrassed, but immediately nodded and said, "Auntie, since this is the case, Yan Nian can't make trouble for you, okay, I'll go back." As he spoke, he left the courtyard with the basin and walked home.

Liu Erqing saw that Yan Nian had come out, and hurriedly dodged to the side.

When I returned home, I saw Nuo Nuo and Yanyan playing in the yard, and Ni Dashu was still digging wood with his head down.

Seeing that my mother was back, the two little ones ran to the door to greet her, "Mother, where have you been?" ”

Yan Nian wiped the sweat from her head, and led Yanyan with one hand, "Mother go out and send some meat to the well-wishers." ”

Then he turned back to Nuo Nuo and said, "Nuo Nuo led his sister to play in the yard, and my mother went back to the house to work." ”

Nuno agreed, and led his sister to giggle in the yard again.

Yan Nian looked at the meat in the basin, shook his head and said to himself: "Don't forget it, just do your best." ”

The pig's head was placed in the stove room, Yan Nian looked a little awkward, quickly cut it all, put it in the basin, wash it and drain it, Yan Nian looked at the only little salt at home, and wanted to take advantage of the dawn to quickly buy some salt and rice and flour oil and the like, and the next meal could not be given to the child to eat meat.

Yan Nian wiped his hands, took out two copper plates from the cloth bag in the house, and hurriedly walked to Sun Bo's grocery store.
