Chapter 45: It's Just a Very Small Pair of Hands
Ten days passed quickly, Chen and Qingdou walked around Lishan Town, like a fish in water, sometimes there was no need for Qingzhi to accompany the two to go out to see the excitement, and when they came back, they talked to Qingzhi again and again.
Lishan Town does not use dry toilets, the toilets used, every morning someone comes to collect them, and after collecting them by the river with shells, they are handed back, and Chen is also amazed.
Living on the ninth day, when it comes to going home tomorrow, Chen and Qingdou are a little reluctant: in addition to being reluctant to give up Qingzhi, they are also a little reluctant to Lishan Town.
This day is also a market day, the mother and son went to buy pork early in the morning and came back, and Qingzhi personally made steamed buns for his mother and younger brother to practice.
Qingdou was only not much taller than the table, standing at the table, seeing Qingzhi's ten fingers flying a few pinched to make a bun, he exclaimed in surprise: "Sister! You're amazing! ”
Chen also laughed when he heard it: "Qingzhi has practiced when he entered the city, and his strength is also great, and a large bucket of water is lifted and poured into the water tank at once, and his brows are not wrinkled." ”
Qingzhi smiled embarrassedly: "Erniang said, how can it be so easy to beg for life, I have great strength to do things, let me eat and practice more on weekdays." ”
Chen nodded, and said curiously: "You have been saying that this Erniang is powerful these days, why did you find a rural hunter who doesn't talk much?" ”
Qingzhi smiled: "She just likes to be honest!" ”
As he was talking, someone outside greeted Wang Po loudly, Qingzhi heard Erniang's voice, and said strangely: "Why did you come back early?" ”
Sun Erniang had a chicken in her left hand and a duck in her right hand, and when she saw Chen's mother and son, she smiled and said to Qingzhi: "It's your mother and brother?" Finally, I saw it! ”
hurried to say hello, and praised the green beans for being handsome.
Before Qingdou met, the woman was dressed in red, her head was covered with silk flowers and pearls, she was babbling when she spoke, her lips were bright red, and she was so frightened that she hid behind her mother.
Although Chen is a country woman, she has heard a lot of small things about Sun Erniang and Qingzhi's daily relationship in the past few days, and her heart has been very kind, and she took out Qingdou to say hello and gossip.
Qingzhi washed his hands a few times, and also came over and smiled: "I thought you would come back tomorrow!" What about the people in Brother Lu's family? ”
Sun Erniang blinked and said happily: "It's all good, they're all honest people!" ”
Aoeda also rejoiced: "That's great! Congratulations! ”
Chen had heard his daughter talk about Sun Erniang's family affairs, and he also congratulated him.
Sun Erniang was in a good mood, and she threw the chicken and duck to the ground and was about to go out: "There are many people today, and there are happy events, don't eat steamed buns!" Qingzhi, you wash and peel chickens and ducks! I'm going to buy hooves! Let's have a big meal! "That's it.
Chen Shi helped Qingzhi wrap the rest of the buns, and said: "This Erniang is a cool person!" ”
"Yes, it's hard to get close to you, but it's actually very good, and my mother forgot what I said last time? Since I haven't been to a restaurant, take me there. ”
Chen nodded: "You tell me the size of her shoes, I'll go back and make some insoles for her, and let the people from the ox cart bring them to you next time." ”
Soon Sun Erniang came back with a big bag and a small bag, and when she entered the kitchen, she found that Qingzhi had bought oil, salt, sauce and other things, and shouted: "Qingzhi, you are so sour!" How much oil can your mother and brother use? Why buy it alone? Do I care about that?! ”
After finishing speaking, I poured half a pot of oil and heated it, and I wanted to fry the meatballs for green beans, but I couldn't stop it.
Song Qingzhi raised his forehead: Yes, yes, I know that you are a rich boss in the city, and you can use the oil casually! Heroism!
Sun Erniang glanced at Qingzhi strangely while chopping the meat filling: "You won't even buy a new candle or straw paper or something?" ”
Aoeda nodded.
It's already good to let your family live, do you still want to use the boss's things indiscriminately?
Sun Erniang sighed a few times: "I will go to live in your house in the future, but I can't think of these things, don't blame me then!" ”
After she finished speaking, she adjusted the taste of the chopped stuffing at will, and then slammed the hoof into the big oil pot to overoil it, Qingzhi was already familiar with the boss's rough way of cooking, and hurriedly stepped forward to help.
After the hoof was oiled, it was burned, and soon the small balls were also kneaded and fried, and the plate could not hold so many meatballs, and Qingzhi took a large bamboo plaque to hold it.
Sun Erniang first brought the big bamboo plaque to the table and beckoned: "The buns and hooves will be good for a while, let's eat meatballs while they're hot!" ”
After speaking, he picked one up with one hand and handed it to the green beans, and with the other hand, he took one and stuffed it into his mouth.
Qingzhi and Chen ate unceremoniously.
The outside is crispy and the inside is tender, the boss adjusts the filling, and it is not greasy to eat more, it is really a touching good taste!
After eating a round of meatballs, the buns were ready, and Sun Erniang carried the steamer on the table for everyone to eat.
Chen has heard her daughter say that Sun Erniang's food here is rough and colorful, and when she saw that this was the case, she was relieved: at least her daughter was not hungry for a while.
I also ate the buns, and the green beans were full of stomachs, and they snuggled up to their mothers and whispered: "I want to live in the town, can we live in the town?" ”
Chen laughed and teased him: "Living in the town, you can't eat meat every day!" This is the second mother's family is doing well! ”
Sun Erniang sighed when she heard this: "Qingdou wants to move to the city, but I want to move to the countryside!" ”
Song Qingzhi trembled: The boss is really going back to the countryside to get married, and the nutritious breakfast is going to be closed.
Chen smiled: "The breakfast car business is so good, is Erniang willing to do it?" It's not easy to make a living in the countryside now. ”
Sun Erniang waved her legs, looking very leisurely: "I came out to be a cook, and later sold breakfast, and I have saved some money for more than ten years. ”
smiled and pursed his eyes: "Do you want to marry me now, it's naturally different, I buy some land, husband and wife guard the field, what kind of good life can't you live?" ”
Chen also said: "If you have your own field, that's fine, don't say anything else, it's okay to eat and wear." ”
Sun Erniang smiled: "That's right! And I live alone with Quan You, so I don't have to be angry with my mother-in-law! That's great! ”
Song Qingzhi: Sure enough, a financially independent woman is tough! Ancient and modern! I really want to make money.
Chen smiled: "It's a pity that this small building, as well as the breakfast car, add up to the two, I'm afraid it's worth twenty or thirty taels of silver, right?" ”
Sun Erniang nodded, looked at the breakfast car, and for the first time there was a reluctant look in her eyes: "The house is a pawn, it's okay, I'm a little reluctant to sell this net worth, it's been seven or eight years, it's been windy and rainy, and it's only because of it that I can earn the rest of my life." ”
She stretched out her two hands: they were broad and their fingers were calloused.
Qingzhi looked down at his hand: it wasn't as white as before, but the fingers were still very slender, and why were the hands so small!
She was puzzled: The boss is leaving, can she hold up the rest of her life with such a small and weak pair of hands? Can you afford your mother and brother to live in Lishan Town?
