Chapter 17: Dabai Returns Home
"Is it okay for the second sister to steam an egg for Tong Tong today?"
Tong Tong clapped his hands happily when he heard this.
"Eggs? Where is it? Xiao Yu and Ziyan, who were busy outside, also came to the kitchen when they heard it.
"It was sent by Aunt Li, and I will steam eggs for you tonight."
"Oooh, there's an egg." The little fish jumped up happily. Tong Tong also followed Xiaoyu and smiled happily.
It's been a long time since I've seen the child smile, and Fahrenheit laughs too. It's useless to be a mother, the child has grown so big, but he hasn't even tasted an egg.
Ye Laosan came in, everyone suddenly stopped, Ye Laosan didn't know how to express it, the originally happy family, but after he came in, they were silent. Ye Laosan withdrew from the kitchen again and sat outside alone.
Hua Shi saw that Ye Laosan had gone out and was about to go out with him, but Ye Xin'er asked Hua to continue cooking and went out by herself.
Sit next to Ye Laosan. "Dad, do you think we're doing something wrong?"
"No, Dad just feels uncomfortable for not being able to protect you, and doesn't make you feel uncomfortable for a good life, Dad actually always knows that your milk is not good for you, but Dad doesn't know what to do, Dad works hard, I hope your milk can be better to you, but it seems that no matter what I do, your milk is still like that."
"Actually, it's not my father's fault, it's all gone before, and we'll just have a good life with this family in the future, if my father really feels that we are missing, he will make up for it better for his mother and us in the future."
Can it still be made up? Ye Laosan looked at Ye Xin'er and didn't speak, if he could, he was willing to make up for it.
Ye Xin'er didn't continue to sit next to her after she finished speaking, some things have to be figured out by yourself, and others can only play a guiding role.
Duo'er took the small fish to dig wild vegetables, and these at home were not enough to eat until the autumn harvest had to find a way to survive it, Ye Ziyan also carried a fork to the back mountain, wanting to try his luck and see if he could catch a fish.
Ye Xin'er looked at the food in the kitchen, although it was not much, it was not delicious brown rice, but it was better than nothing, these were all secretly sent by the people who were helped by the original owner's father before, after putting these things away, she took Tong Tong to the back mountain, anyway, it was still early in the evening, to see if there were any crucian carp.
Steamed eggs with crucian carp are one of the most common home-cooked dishes in the south, and both crucian carp and eggs are high-protein foods. The fresh slaughtered crucian carp has delicate meat quality, steamed with eggs, the egg custard is smooth, the fish meat is soft and tender, the egg fragrance wraps the fish meat, and the fresh fragrance of the fish meat is attached to the layers of egg custard, which integrates the different tastes of the two stones to the extreme, and the nutrition is extremely high. Thinking about it, Ye Xin'er's saliva flowed out.
After the two arrived at the back mountain, they saw that Ye Ziyan had caught a lot of fish.
"Yes, I'm good at catching fish."
"Yes, then don't look at who I am, by the way, second sister, you say, can we still go to the market tomorrow to sell fish?"
"I don't think it will work in the past two days, the family has just moved out, and we will go out to sell fish now, and people will say that we are ungrateful, and if we have a way to make money, we don't want grandparents."
"What is our business with others, and why should people point fingers."
Ye Xin'er sighed secretly, she was still too young, and she didn't know that smearing Xingzi could drown people.
"Listen to me, yes."
"Then I caught so many fish, I can't eat them, but they will be bad."
"Why can't you eat it, there are so many people in our family, and if you can't eat it, you can salt it up, keep it for the winter, and send some to other people in the village."
"Why should we give our stuff to someone else? And our family didn't have enough to eat. ”
"You, why did others side with us when we split up? If there is no food after the separation, why should people send food? ”
That's right, Ye Ziyan scratched his head, and Ye Xin'er continued: "It's not that our father helped people before, and now he has come to repay the favor, but if you want to maintain this relationship for a long time, you have to have interests, this is called a win-win situation, understand?" ”
"Win-win? I don't understand. ”
"You'll find out later."
As he spoke, he looked at the fish in the bucket, there were really a lot of them, there were a bucket, there were crucian carp, carp, and grass carp. Enough, just have the crucian carp you want.
"Then you go on, we're going home."
"Hey, you're not going to help me?"
"We'll go home and cook something delicious for you."
"Who believes you!"
Neither of them paid attention to him, Tong Tong caught the fish, Ye Xin'er pulled Tong Tong, and the two went back. But he didn't know that he was followed by a big white dog.
The big white dog has been sad for the past few days, and has been waiting for Ye Xin'er to cook food for it, but Ye Xin'er has been busy for the past few days, how can she have time to care about it, I just saw the big white dog, and one person and one dog communicated.
"You don't talk about credit, you don't talk about credibility at all, don't want me to help in the future."
"I originally wanted to take you back, but since you look down on me like this, forget it!"
"What? Ready to take me back? Where are you going? Can I go to your house? ”
"That's right, I didn't come in the past two days to separate from my grandmother, I just moved home, and I'm here to pick you up, who knows that you say that about me, forget it, I'll find other dogs." One of them never mentioned that he had only come to catch a fish and had come across the dog, nor did he mention the scolding just now.
"Alright, let's go." followed Ye Xin'er.
As soon as she got home, Fahrenheit saw the big white dog and asked Xin'er where she came from, and Xin'er said truthfully that she followed her when she caught the fish, and she brought it back when she looked cute.
"You kid, how can you have something to keep this dog now?"
As soon as the big white dog heard Fahrenheit say this, he drooped his head, and he looked as pitiful as he was.
"Mother, this dog doesn't need food, just give me something to eat."
"You don't need food, this dog needs to eat well." shouted at Ye Xin'er.
"Mother, you see that this dog is more human. If you know what to feed it, you will wag its tail and bark at you. ”
Fahrenheit saw that the dog liked it as well, and agreed to keep the dog.
Ye Xin'er went to the kitchen to put the cleaned fish aside, and went to the kitchen to get busy, the eldest sister and the little fish had already sent half a basket of wild vegetables back, and now there was nothing to do at home, so the two of them used borrowed hoes to reclaim the vegetable garden and prepare their own varieties of wheat.
Ye Xin'er pretended to rummage through the basket, but in fact she was taking something in her sleeve, and when the thing was ready, she touched the salt with the fish body cutting knife, prepared to marinate, and beat two eggs into the bowl.
"What are you doing with two eggs, you kid? One is enough, and it is enough for Tong Tong to eat alone. ”
"Mother, it's okay, I still have money, tomorrow I will go to the market to buy some eggs and come back, you look at the fourth sister, then look at Ziyan, and then look at me, which one is not skinny, can you bear to let us watch Tong Tong eat together?" The reason why Ye Xin'er did this was not because in addition to the three hundred yuan in her hand, she also had more than seventy taels, and she was not afraid at all.
How can anyone not feel sorry for their children, how can they be willing to hear Xin Yatou say this, and they don't speak.
Put the seasoning that has been prepared long ago into the egg, add water, beat it with chopsticks, wrap the marinated fish in a layer of egg liquid, put it in a hot oil pot, and a fragrance wafts out, provoking Tong Tong and Xiaoyu to come.
"Second sister, this fish is so expensive."
"Then do you want to eat it?"
"I want to eat, I want to eat, the second sister makes the best." Xiao Yu patted his ass and said, and Tong Tong also clapped his hands.
Ye Xin'er fried the fish until golden brown on both sides, put the crucian carp into a steaming bowl, boiled water, and put the bowl into the steaming bowl for ten minutes. After waiting, sprinkle a layer of chopped green onions on top, and the fragrance immediately comes to the nose.
"It smells so good." Xiao Yu said as he sniffed hard.
"Uh-huh." Tong Tong didn't forget to follow the sycophants.
"Look at you two like this, if you like to eat, the second sister will make it for you in the future."
When the two children heard that there was still one after hearing it, they were very happy.
"You, just get used to them." Fahrenheit said to Xin'er.
"I'm not used to them, they're all my relatives, and since I woke up, I've decided to work hard to protect my family."
Fahrenheit was silent, yes, since that time, Fahrenheit felt that Xin'er was different from the past, and he didn't expect that now he would actually take himself and the Ye family to separate the family, which he had never thought of. No matter what happened before, even if you are for a few children in the future, you must protect them.
"Let's go, let's go eat."
When the children heard about the meal, they were all happy, and this was the first meal they ate after the family was separated.
Several people sat around the table, and Ye Xin'er said, "Dad, aren't you angry?" ”
Ye Laosan saw that he asked himself, and said: "What's so angry about this, if you really want to talk about it, my father still wants to thank you, if it weren't for you, my father wouldn't know how sorry you are so much." ”
"Boss, don't say that, the previous ones are all gone, I just hope that our family can live a good life in the future."
"Hmm." Ye Laosan didn't say anything, but it was already good to be able to say a few words to a few children.
"Okay, then we have to thank Dad and Mom, then give Dad and Mom a fish to eat." Ye Xin'er said.
"Yes, yes, my father and mother are great heroes, this fish is a reward for my father and mother, second sister, you see if what I said is right." Xiao Yu asked with a smile.
"Yes, my little fish is the smartest, come, this fish tail is rewarded to the little fish."
"Thank you, second sister."
"You eat, your father and I will eat some of this brown rice porridge."
"Yes, yes." Ye Laosan hurriedly followed his daughter-in-law and said.
"Dad, this is not good, this is a reward for you, besides, you don't eat this fish, and you still want to grab this egg custard with Tong Tong?"
"No, no." Ye Laosan said that he couldn't say that he was his own girl, so he didn't defend himself. Gave only the head of a fish to himself, and the body to Fahrenheit.
Hua was embarrassed when he saw Ye Laosan like this, and hurriedly gave the fish body to Xiaoyu, saying that it would be good for him to eat a fish tail, the fish body was for Xiaoyu to eat, and Tong Tong ate egg custard, for fear that the fish bones would get stuck in Tong Tong, so he didn't dare to give Tong Tong to eat.
The family ate the happiest meal, although there was no chicken and duck meat, but it was not as happy as the family.
