Chapter 171: Boiling Jam

Shen Shuang stayed in the house, heard no movement outside the courtyard, and saw that it was not early, so she also went to the kitchen to prepare to boil water and cook, thinking that her third uncle and third aunt were back, Shen Shuang knew how rich and rich the dinner tonight needed.

Shen Shuang didn't dwell on the fact that the dishes in the food box were eaten, although she felt that it was not worth it to use so many good dishes to expose her third aunt's family.

There is a dustpan on the kitchen shelf, with bacon on it, and there are chickens and ducks that have been killed by the stove, which are quite fat, but a severed head and a neck are hung on it, which looks strange and terrible, and it is estimated that the internal organs of those chickens and ducks have also been thrown away by Xiao Wan.

Shen Shuang scooped water into the pot at a glance, and asked Xiaoshan to light the fire to boil the water, while she took the bacon and cut it into thin slices, and then washed the rice and put it in the pot, as for what to cook tonight, she thought about waiting for her mother to come back.

Shi was forced to go to the mountains to collect firewood, and when he came home, he also carried a large basket of firewood in his back basket, although it was a small basket he usually carries, but there were a lot of them.

Seeing that his mother was not at home, he also breathed a sigh of relief, and when he heard a sound in the kitchen, he ran in, and saw that it was Shen Shuang who came back, and was very happy, "Sister Xiaoshuang, are you back?" ”

Shen Shuang looked up and saw that it was a stone, and a large basket of firewood behind him, and couldn't help frowning, he was still young, so he carried such heavy firewood, she quickly got up and helped him put the basket down.

"Stones? How did you go collect firewood? ”

The stone wiped his sweat and took a breath before speaking, "My mother said that she would cut the pigweed, let me go and collect some firewood and come back." ”

As he spoke, the stone bent down and pulled out a number of small cherry blossoms from the basket containing firewood. The peach came out and handed it to Shen Shuang as if offering a treasure.

"Sister Xiaoshuang, this is the cherry blossom I picked on the mountain. Peaches, there are several cherry trees. The peach trees are ripe and no one picks them, but they are sweet, you can taste them. ”

Shen Shuang looked at him like this, it is estimated that he has been on the mountain for most of the day, and this half-grown kid can pick up any firewood.

She reached out and picked one and threw it into her mouth, and there was no sourness, maybe it would be good to use it to make jam.

Shen Shuang had eaten wild cherry blossoms in the mountains before. Peaches, however, seem to be of a different variety, and this one looks better, presumably because they ripen later.

The hill and the wolf cubs on the side also eat cherry blossoms. Peach, Shen Shuang was a little speechless when he saw it, a wolf learning to bark a dog all day long is okay, why do you even eat the fruit? I'm so sorry for the name 'wolf'.

Seeing Shi Shi sitting on a small stool beside him a little tired, and tilting his head to pour a bowl of water, Shen Shuang frowned, "Shishi, your mother asked you to go up the mountain to collect firewood by yourself?" Don't go deep into the mountains. ”

Shen Shuang was quite speechless to Xiao Wan's family, she insisted on asking the child to do it for her, and it would really make people call, and she had asked the stone to wash her clothes before, and it was estimated that she had forgotten about the fact that the clothes were all drained away by the stream.

Stone scratched his head, "I followed the villagers up the mountain, they picked up firewood quickly, I was slow, and then I found Sakura. The peach tree, I went down the hill by myself, and I knew where it was. ”

Shen Shuang didn't say anything else, just told him not to fall behind in the future, as for tomorrow's affairs, I'll talk about it tomorrow.

"There are a lot of cherry blossoms here, too. Peach, you two pick them one by one into the little basket, and I'll make you sweet jam to eat later. ”

Marmalade? The stone and the hill actually didn't know what it was, but when they heard it, they thought it was something delicious, so they naturally worked very actively, Shen Shuang took the little wolf cub aside, and didn't let it steal it, so he didn't eat it in the first place, and it probably didn't have to make jam if he ate it.

The little wolf cub whimpered, and reluctantly lay at Shen Shuang's feet, it felt that its treatment seemed to have deteriorated, and now she hadn't brought herself back with good food, so she took advantage of Shen Shuang's inattention and sneaked out.

Little Orion was sitting in front of the hut boiling medicine, and he had only arrived home for a short time.

He went up the mountain yesterday afternoon, stayed on the mountain for a night at night, and deliberately got up early to hunt, originally thought that he could catch up with the opening of Yunlailou, but he chased a roe deer into the deep mountains, and it took a lot of effort and time to catch it, because the weather was gradually getting hotter, and the prey was not easy to preserve, he went down directly from the mountain to the town, but when he went to deliver the goods, it was already afternoon, he didn't see Shen Shuang, nor did he see Jiang Zipei's brothers and sisters, and went to the hospital to get medicine and went home again.

He had always been fast, so when the little wolf cub came running to him, he was already home.

"Whew......"

When the little hunter saw the little wolf cub that had grown up a lot, his eyes lit up, thinking that Shen Shuang would also come over, and subconsciously looked ahead, but he didn't see the person he wanted to see.

He was a little disappointed, but thinking that she should not be available at this time, he squatted down and reached out and gently touched the little wolf cub's head, and found that it was wet, obviously because it ran to play in the water.

"Whew."

In fact, it didn't come here on purpose, just now it ran away from people, ran to the mountains and turned around, originally wanted to catch a rabbit to appetize, but did not see the rabbit, even the pheasant did not see, it was a little disappointed, when it came down, it saw the big fish in the creek, jumped in and spent a lot of effort to finally catch a fish, but it was wet and dirty.

Thinking that Shen Shuang would be suspicious of going back like this, it saw the wooden house in the distance, so it ran to the stream here to wash itself, and then ran to the little hunter, waiting for him to help him wipe the water for him.

Little Orion didn't know that the little wolf cub had such a thought, but he did wipe the water off his fur with a dry cloth.

The little hunter shook his body, raised his paws at him, and then turned and ran, without stopping at all, and when he ran to the side of the bridge, he also took a big fish that was hiding there, and ran as fast as he could, as if he was afraid that the little hunter would see it.

A small hunter who clearly saw a big fish covered with grass: "......"

Did the little wolf cub think he was going to be greedy for its fish?

Shen Shuang didn't know about the little wolf cub running out, but thought that it ran to the house to sleep.

When Hui returned, she took over the kitchen, making dumplings and boiling chicken soup, and she also took a small pot to cook cherry jam, and when it was almost cooked, she threw in some brown sugar.

However, because there were not many cherries, she only cooked a small bowl of jam, because it was too sweet, Xiaoshan and Shishi only tasted it, and she put the rest into a small jar, and planned to dip a little bit when she ate the tasteless wowotou or steamed buns.

Wan took his little grandson Shen Laibao to show off in the village, and half of the people in Xishan Village also knew that Wan's third son had come home, and at the same time invited the respected third uncle and village chief Liu to come over for dinner.

There are often merchants in Xishan Village who come down to the village to sell things, and Wan rarely took out a few copper plates to buy a big bag of peanut candy for Shen Laibao, and he ate it all over his mouth.

When I got home, the bag of peanut candy made Shi Hexiao, who was playing under the tree at the gate of the yard, see it, and his eyes were reluctant to look away.

Wan didn't know it at all, in her eyes, the two grandsons of Shi and Xiaoshan, one of them was noisy, and the other was a little mute who embarrassed her, and naturally they were not as good as the youngest fat grandson.

Xiaoshan was afraid of Wan's, so he naturally didn't dare to come forward to eat, but the stone was different, he was not afraid of his milk, and he didn't feel that he couldn't eat the peanut candy in his milk's hand, so he stepped forward with a wooden sword and asked, "Milk, I want sugar." ”

Wan's face sank, the peanut candy bag in his hand was directly pinched, and he stretched out his hand and waved, "What kind of candy do you want, this is what your brother Laibao eats, play with you." ”

The stone is still a glutton, and he is a little unwilling, "But if you buy so much, Brother Noble can't finish it." ”

Shen Laibao on the side had a full mouth, he was also selfish, he was not happy when he heard that the stone was going to eat, he reached out and snatched the bag of peanut candy, and said arrogantly with a puffed face, "This is what my milk bought for me, you are not allowed to eat, you can't eat, grin." ”

Seeing Shen Laibao sticking out his tongue and the peanut candy falling to the ground, the stone looked at it, drooping his head, but he didn't dare to grab it, Wan directly pulled Shen Laibao away, ignoring him and Xiaoshan at all.

Xiaoshan walked over, and Shi pursed his lips and said with an unhappy face, "Milk is really eccentric, she never bought us candy to eat." ”

Xiaoshan didn't think there was anything wrong, after all, he didn't like Wan's since he was a child, and if he had candy to eat, then he would be flattered.

Although they can't eat sugar, Ishiki and Koyama think that they have just eaten Sakura. Peach Jam didn't get very entangled, and continued to play with the wooden sword to beat people.

Shen Laibao rushed into the house with a big bag of sugar, Xiao Wan had just cleaned up the house, and he didn't have to work so hard, but Wang disliked her for not cleaning clean, so he naturally said a few more words, Xiao Wan was afraid that he would be scolded, so he had to clean honestly and seriously, and at this time Wang was sorting out the things that Lotus had brought.

"Mother, sister, sugar, eat sugar."

Wang saw her son rushing over, but his hands were dirty and sticky, and he immediately frowned and pushed him away, seeing that she had been holding on to the candy that her son had been holding on to, but now she was holding a big bag in her hand, her face immediately changed, "Noble, where did you get the peanut candy." ”

"Bao Niang, you're cleaning up, Noble said he wanted to eat peanut candy, so I bought it, it's a merchant who goes to the village to visit the household, it's quite expensive, this small bag costs ten cents, you can buy a pound of meat."

In fact, Wan still feels sorry for the silver, although she feels sorry for her grandson, but she thinks that she has to show her face in front of her daughter-in-law to prove that she loves her grandson, and she is still waiting for her youngest son to become a big official in the future, and she will take her old lady to enjoy happiness, and naturally she also wants her daughter-in-law to look down on herself.

Wang looked at Wan's expressionless, in fact, he was very angry in his heart, but he couldn't hold it back, he only felt that she was stupid, she was simply against herself, but she was so complacent that she also knew that she was hurting her grandson.

Wang didn't say much, and directly took out a few pieces of broken silver from the lotus flower and stuffed them into Wan's hand, "Mother-in-law, let you break the bank, but don't get used to Noble next time, he loves sugar the most, and it will be bad for his teeth when the time comes." ”
