The sun was setting in the west, and the smell of rice was already coming from the courtyard next door.

Old man Ning sniffed, the fragrance filled his entire mouth and nose, and he accidentally hooked out the gluttonous worms in his heart. looked at his stove, not even the fire was raised, the cold fire was cold, was this going to be dry?

Because there was a guest at home today, Shen Tuantuan had a rare good night's sleep, and regardless of the hot sun, he made up his mind to let Shen Chunyun try his craft.

The newly bought grain a few days ago was originally calculated to be eaten until the autumn harvest, but at this time, there were suddenly more than three people, and they were at an age when they could eat, so they couldn't invite people to eat thin porridge. Shen Tuantuan washed some potatoes and cut the bacon meat, intending to make a pot of bacon rice. In this way, it can be regarded as saving food, and it is not too much to do.

Shen Tuantuan squatted beside the well, washing the meat, thinking about what to do. It's just that such two catties of lean meat, even if it is fried, it will be a pot, and it will be gone if you have two more mouthfuls. This meat was still bought by Shen Zhong from the vendor early in the morning, and the lean meat was several cents cheaper than the fatty meat.

Because of the sale of dried tofu, after getting more than two taels of silver, Shen Tuantuan let Shen Zhong's earned wages save by himself, and Shen Zhong estimated that there were only about 20 copper plates in his hand, and after buying two catties of lean meat, it is estimated that there are no copper plates. Maybe he didn't know how many days Shen Chunyun's family would have to live, Shen Zhong could save money, buy meat, and not restrict fat and lean meat.

As soon as Shen Tuantuan looked up, he saw Yang Ankang and Shen Changzhi coming to the well to draw water, Shen Tuantuan asked without raising his head, "Brother, are we good at eating spicy?" ”

"Done!" It was Yang Ankang's voice that answered Shen Tuantuan.

Shen Tuantuan looked up suddenly, thinking of Yang Ankang, he looked back at Shen Tuantuan like nothing else. knew that Shen Tuantuan had always called him a "big cousin", but he still agreed first! "Why, didn't you ask me? I thought I was asking this guest for me? Yang Ankang exaggerated a look of astonishment, but it amused Shen Tuantuan.

"Actually, it's all the same, it's all brother, there's no difference!" Shen Tuantuan consciously took the bait.

Yang Ankang pursed his lips, the corners of his mouth raised, "Then call me brother in the future, I don't always have to be a big cousin and a big cousin, my mother has always hoped that you are her daughter, and she has also let me live my brother's addiction!" ”

Shen Tuantuan glanced at Shen Changzhi, Shen Changzhi hit the water, and glanced at Yang Ankang, who was a little strange, but Yang Ankang looked calm, just like Yang Anchang teasing Shen Tuantuan and calling his brother eager to try, so that people couldn't find any discomfort.

Shen Changzhi fetched water and poured it into Shen Tuantuan's wooden basin, and then complained: "Do you think my brother is so good?" You see, I'm so afraid that he's tired, and I'll have to fetch her water, and if someone bullies her, I'll have to roll up my sleeves and fight with someone, and I'll have to earn her a dowry—"

Yang Ankang didn't know what he thought, his eyes were full of smiles, "Okay, Tuan Tuan, you call me brother in the future, I have done all the work!" Won't complain yet! ”

Shen Tuantuan was teased and teased by these two people back and forth, "Actually, my brother's point is to save me a dowry, hum!" Hmph, listen to what Brother Ankang said, people won't complain! Look at my sister who is such a gunman, don't hurry up to please me, or I'll follow my little aunt home! ”

A "Brother Ankang" gently poked at his heart like a small feather, tickling.

Yang Ankang squinted his eyes slightly, he didn't know when he cared about Shen Tuantuan, he just felt that such a fresh little girl, just one glance, couldn't be forgotten. In the past, when Mei was there, the little girl always lay in Mei Shi's arms and stuck out her tongue at him. Later, when I said goodbye, it was when Mei left, such a thin little girl, kneeling alone in the mourning hall, her back was straight, she didn't cry or make trouble, and she seriously added paper money one by one and burned it. When I saw him later, I saw that Shen Tuantuan had already supported a family and became the support of the two men's hearts, and everything in the Shen family had not changed, only Shen Tuantuan, who grew up in one year......

If it weren't for an accident, Yang Ankang saw Shen Tuantuan kneeling in front of Mei's tablet and crying silently, still with his back straight, crying silently, listening to her say, Mother, I don't think I can hold on......

At that time, Yang Ankang knew that the little girl would cry. When Mei left, the little girl's heart must have been crying and bleeding......

Maybe it was at that time that Yang Ankang paid extra attention to this little girl, and the more she paid attention, the more difficult it was to take her eyes off......

He just wanted to see a smile on her face, and he didn't straighten his back with full guard, he wanted to listen to him mutter, and laugh wildly......

Yang Ankang smiled and listened to Shen Changzhi's brother and sister bickering, no one let anyone, but they were full of vitality.

Shen Tuan's angry little face flushed, and he glared at Shen Changzhi viciously, "Brother Ankang, do you eat spicy food?" ”

Yang Ankang came back to his senses and nodded, "Eat, Jiangxia City has opened a shop specializing in spicy flavors, the business is too good, my family also went to eat once, spicy, but happy to eat." ”

"Okay, that's good!"

Shen Tuantuan plans to make a big pot of boiled pork slices, add his own vegetables, a big pot full of them, and stir-fry a few light side dishes, which is enough. Otherwise, you have to cook a table of dishes.

Waiting for Shen Tuantuan to bring the boiled meat slices out of the pot, he saw that Shen Zhong and Yang Anchang also came back, carrying the dying grass carp in their hands.

Shen Chunyun made up for sleep again in the afternoon, and then he felt better in spirit, and was washing his face by the well, when he saw Shen Zhong coming back. "Where did you get the fish? Such a large one should have three or four catties, but it's not easy to fish, right? ”

Shen Zhong was also overjoyed at this time, just in time to be able to add dishes. "It's not fishing, it's trapped in a basket."

When Shen Zhong was idle before, he would make a lot of baskets, large and small, but the big baskets couldn't trap the fish, and over time, no one used them, and they were thrown into the utility room to get ashes. This time, Yang Anchang insisted, so he took it with him, but he didn't think that he had just trapped a big fish! There are a lot of small fish and shrimp trapped in the small basket.

Shen Zhong cleaned up the fish with his hands and feet, Shen Tuantuan didn't like to eat fish very much, because there were too many spines. She is afraid of trouble and lazy. I simply made a fish head tofu soup, and the rest of the fish meat was braised in the braised meat.

In the corner next door, there was an old man squatting, with words in his mouth, "Go, or not, go, there will be delicious food, there will be a mouthful of hot." If you don't go, you're not even going to have a snack. ”

Old man Ning was very entangled, he had been smelling the aroma of rice for half an hour, and when Shen Zhongdu came back, he knew that the Shen family was about to start eating! Success or failure, in one fell swoop!

It's just that as a shameful old man, Old Man Ning can't take a step. If this is usual, the Shen family has a visitor, he rubs over to eat at this time, what is the matter? No, no, no shame. But I'm so hungry -

Ning Nanxing looked at his grandfather in the corner quietly, it was time to add to the fire.

"I smell the fragrance, it seems to be a little spicy, is it possible to make spicy dishes in a group?" Shen Tuantuan is not very good at eating spicy, so he rarely cooks spicy dishes, and most of the dishes he makes on weekdays are mainly braised dishes.

However, Old Man Ning likes dishes with strong flavors. Over the years, he has been detained by Ning Nanxing, and his mouth is about to fade out. When I heard the spicy dishes, my eyes lit up, "yes, yes, you smell it too?" I smell like! No, it's not like, it's just! ”

"It's like you're drinking and eating—"

Old Man Ning got up suddenly, walked out without thinking, and walked to the small courtyard of the Shen family in one breath.

Shen Chunyun was taken aback by the old man Ning who looked at death as if he were at home, "Uncle Shen? What's wrong, what's wrong? ”

Old man Ning's face stiffened, and he was stunned to pull out a smile that he thought was kind, but his face was stiff, and he looked more and more weird. So much so that Shen Chunyun went back and forth several times in his heart before he cautiously spoke, "Uncle Shen, have you eaten?" "It's always a good idea to come and ask if you've eaten.

Old man Ning's old face smiled like a chrysanthemum, still holding the shelf, and shook his head, because he was too excited, when he shook his head, his body shook with him, "Not yet." ”

Shen Chunyun hurriedly stepped forward to help Old Man Ning, for fear that he would shake himself to the ground in a swing, and helped Old Man Ning to sit down on the chair, before he said casually, "Why don't you eat it together?" ”

"Good!"

This time, Shen Chunyun stumbled.

She swore she really just asked casually and politely.

But when she thought that Old Man Ning would respond, she was so simply that she didn't know which sentence to start over if she wanted to redeem it.

Shen Chunyun opened his mouth and didn't say anything, but the well-informed old man Ning knew that Shen Chunyun must have regretted it! Therefore, Old Man Ning sat on the stool, his hands obediently placed, eyes for eyes, nose for nose, and looked back at Shen Chunyun seriously.

"It's time to eat—"

Old man Ning, who has already come to this point, has long forgotten what his cheeks are at this time. When he arrived in the courtyard of the Shen family, he smelled the fragrance more really.

As soon as he heard the sound of calling for food, Old Man Ning stood up from the chair and went to the dining hall with the chair in his arms, and the Shen family looked at Old Man Ning who suddenly appeared, and Shen Chunyun who came in behind Old Man Ning.

Shen Chunyun coughed, "I asked Uncle Ning to eat together, and it happened to be lively to eat together!" ”

Shen Zhong was relieved when he heard this. beckoned Old Man Ning to take a seat.

Old man Ning has a characteristic, since he lost his face, he didn't want to pick it up at all. At this time, he didn't shirk it, sat down, and began to beckon the Shen family to sit and sit together.

Old man Ning is doing self-construction in his heart at this moment, sooner or later my great grandson will be able to conquer the Shen family one day, so the Shen family is also his family!

Although Old Man Ning joined, it did not prevent the family from eating in full swing.

"Wow, spicy enough, flavorful enough."

"This craftsmanship is not much different from the craftsmanship in the restaurant!"

"Dry this bowl of fish soup!"

"Why is this salted pork rice so fragrant, and there are leeks?"
