Chapter 31 Open a small stove
What Bai Shao said, one was too ugly to hear, which made her feel very angry, and the other was that she mentioned the place she was most afraid of, the prison.
So she was angry, annoyed and afraid, and wanted to scold Bai Shao, but what happened yesterday made her jealous of Bai Shao.
At that time, the eyes of this little girl, the deep light in them, frightened Liu.
So much so that now, in the face of Bai Shao's almost provocative words, Liu Shi didn't get angry, just lowered his head and muttered something.
"Milk." Bai Shao continued to laugh calmly, "Milk shouldn't think like this, right, after all, only those vicious stepmothers would want their children to go to prison." Grandma is my father's mother, right? ”
"Yes, yes......" Seeing that Bai Shao had paved a step for himself, Liu hurriedly came down, "You were born to me, how can I, how can I hope that he will go to prison." ”
"What about this pork?" Bai Shao frowned, "What are you going to do with these eight catties of meat?" ”
"You don't need to buy it, it's enough to eat at home." Liu's expression was vaguely reluctant, "Let's talk about it after eating this, third child, give me the money." ”
Bai Chuanbai hurriedly handed the thirteen coins that were held by the small cloth strip to Liu, and then pulled Bai Shao and Bai Wei and left the hall.
In the west room, Wu had already recited the three-character scripture to the third side, and when he saw that their grandfather had returned, he hurriedly put down the book and asked in a hurry, "I seemed to hear the child's milk shouting just now, but what happened?" ”
"It's the pork ......," Bai Chuanbai was ready to tell Wu honestly.
Bai Shao glanced at Bai Wei, rushed to Bai Chuanbai and said, "Mother, it's okay, you don't know my grandmother's temper, and you can't wait to get angry to show her status in our family." ”
"That's it." Bai Wei bowed his head and agreed.
In this way, Wu also believed, "You guys, don't you want to learn to read and write, come and I will teach you." ”
Bai Shao pulled Bai Wei and sat on the edge of the bed obediently, listening to Wu's recitation of the three-character scripture word by word.
Until Qian made breakfast, the whole family gathered around for breakfast.
It was still the same as before, one stewed leftovers, two stir-fried vegetables, and one of the tender beans was also filled with meat, which was full of fresh fragrance, and several children of the Bai family glanced at it several times.
It's a pity that Liu didn't give anyone to him, so he ate steadily, and occasionally gave Old Man Bai a chopstick, but most of them still fell into Liu's stomach.
As for what Old Man Bai once said, "Stir-fried food can be eaten by everyone from now on", it seems to have been forgotten.
After the meal, the leftovers were covered, Qian and Bai Ko went to wash the dishes, Bai Wei took the rice brought to Wu, went back to the west house, helped Wu up, put a mattress behind her, and handed the rice to her.
Because he had been lying in bed and had no consumption, Wu had only eaten half a bowl and couldn't eat it.
"Wei'er, Shao'er, Yunshi, have you eaten enough? I haven't had enough to eat, and I still have it here. Wu asked softly to the three children.
"I'm full." Bai Wei is the eldest sister, so she replied instead of her younger siblings, "Mother, today my eldest aunt made fried meat with tender beans, and my milk is delicious." ”
"Stir-fried pork with tender beans...... Wu's hand paused, "Actually, the stewed bean sprouts are also quite good, and the soybean sprouts are delicious and nutritious......"
After speaking, as if he was afraid that Bai Wei would not believe it, he took another big bite.
Bai Wei and Bai Shao were laughing on the side.
The Wu family ate less, which was a pimple in the hearts of the sisters, for fear that something would really go wrong with the Wu family.
Later, Bai Wei came up with the idea and thought of this method to let Wu eat more.
When Wu ate most of the bowl of rice and couldn't eat it anymore, Bai Wei took the rice, handed it to Bai Yunshi, and let him eat it all before going to brush the bowl.
"Sister, do you want to eat fried pork with tender beans?" Bai Shao squatted in front of the big basin and watched Bai Wei skillfully wash the dishes.
Although this was deliberately mentioned today to let the Wu family eat more, in fact, Bai Shao noticed it, and Bai Wei also glanced in the direction of the tender beans fried meat several times today, so he asked such a question.
"What, you want to eat?" Bai Wei thought that Bai Shao wanted to eat, after all, Bai Shao was only seven years old, and it was normal for children of this age to be greedy.
"Nope." Bai Shao shook his head, "I just feel that I eat soybean sprouts every day, and I don't see any meat, and my mouth is always light." ”
"Go back and ask your brother to catch small fish for you to eat." Bai Wei glanced around, and after making sure that there was no one, he quietly whispered in Bai Shao's ear.
Bai Shao's eyes lit up all of a sudden.
She said that the Liu family is so domineering and selfish, and they refuse to give a mouthful of meat to others, why are they so tolerant, it turns out that they know how to open a small stove.
"Sister, is it the eldest aunt and Sister Kou'er, they will also open a small stove......" Bai Shao hesitated for a moment, and finally asked curiously.
"I don't know about others, but the fourth uncle ......" While Bai Wei was speaking, Bai Chuanqiong just lifted the curtain and walked out of the hall while wiping his mouth.
When he saw the two sisters, he smiled at them, turned around and went back to the house.
"Silly Shao'er, you don't take a look, there are obviously a lot of stir-fried dishes left in the last meal, why is there a lot less in the next meal." Bai Wei said with some resentment, "On the surface, our milk can be flattened with a bowl of water, but in fact, after everyone finished eating, the milk called the fourth uncle over and asked him to eat stir-fried vegetables." ”
"Fourth uncle, he eats small stoves......" Bai Shao hesitated a little, "Then everyone doesn't know?" ”
"Hmph, I don't know, our grandmother is quite hidden, I think except for the fourth aunt who knows a little, others are at most confused, but they are not sure. I was convinced because I accidentally saw it one day. Bai Wei lowered his voice.
"It's really ......" Bai Shao grinned, not knowing what words to use to describe Liu.
This man is biased...... It's really kind of outrageous.
"Forget it, don't think about it, anyway, after so many years, everyone is used to it, no matter how to open a small stove in secret, but on the bright side, the stir-fry is milk, and we can't move." Bai Wei pursed his lips, put the cleaned bowl and the other bowls together, and then washed his hand with a honey locust cleanly, before taking Bai Shao's hand and whispering, "Let's go, I'll get you a small fish to eat today." ”
After speaking, she ran to the west side house, took out a small bottle similar to vinegar, ran to the pot house, secretly dug up a little lard, took a basket and a small iron basin, and told Liu that she was going to cut the seedlings, and the three children went out.
Heading west, after leaving the village, they walked another mile until the three of them stopped at a small stream.
"That's it, Shao'er, you're still young, hold the basket and stay on it, I'll go down with Yun Shi to fish." Bai Wei handed the basket to Bai Shao, and told her not to run around, so she took off her shoes, rolled up her trousers, and went down to the creek to fish with Bai Yunshi.
Although she is a girl, Bai Wei's movements are very quick, and she is not afraid of water, and she touched a fish the size of three fingers in a while. Bai Yunshi didn't let it go, and touched four fish.
"Here, Shao'er." Bai Wei laughed and threw the fish ashore, and Bai Shao was responsible for picking it up and putting it in the basket.
In about half an hour, I caught more than 30 small thin fish, and filled the bottom of the whole basket.
"Okay, that's all, you can't catch it all at once, otherwise you won't be able to eat it next time." Bai Wei and Bai Yun found a deeper place, rinsed their legs and feet, and put on their shoes.
"Shall we take these fish back and eat them?" Bai Shao frowned, because the Bai family only had one place to cook, and that was the pot house.
Once the pot house is used to cook, then the Liu family must know.
Once the Liu family knows, then these little fish, they are afraid that they can only drink soup.
But what can you do if you don't take it back?
Soon, Bai Wei gave the answer.
I saw that she quickly found a few stones and built them up, and took out the iron basin in the basket, put lard in it, and lit a fire underneath.
Finally, I went to a clean stream to squeeze out the internal organs of the small fish, and when I came back, the oil was also hot, and Bai Wei broke two branches as wooden chopsticks, and slowly put the small fish into the hot oil.
With the sound of sizzling, a fresh and fragrant smell wafted to the tip of Bai Shao's nose.
It's been a few days since she came to this world, and Bai Shao hasn't eaten a bite of meat, and now, she really can't help drooling.
Bai Wei was eating and laughing on the side, "Little gluttonous cat." ”
As he spoke, the small fish in the hot oil was almost cooked, Bai Wei took out the small fish with a wooden chopstick, shook the oil slightly, and then put it to his mouth and blew it, before handing it to Bai Shao's mouth.
Bai Shao subconsciously opened his mouth, and suddenly, a burst of primitive fresh fragrance came into his mouth.
Although there was no saltiness and no seasoning, this little fish was so delicious that it brought tears to her eyes.
"Isn't it delicious?" Bai Wei sandwiched another one for Bai Yunshi to eat, and finally gave himself something to eat.
"It's delicious." Bai Shao nodded without hesitation.
"It's delicious, I'll give you more to eat." Bai smiled, put all the small fish into the hot oil, and when they were cooked, they didn't clip them out, so they put out the fire directly, and sat down by the stream with an iron bowl.
Three children, you take a bite and I take a bite, and eat most of the small fish inside.
As for the rest, of course, it is left to the Wu family.
The remaining little oil was poured out, leaving only a dozen or so small fish under the basket, and after being erected with a few wooden sticks, the top was covered with lala seedlings.
The excuse for coming out before was to cut and pull the seedlings, but now if you don't bring back a basket, Liu is afraid that he will not be able to finish with them.
Bai Wei pinched the time, and the three of them played for a while after cutting the Lala seedlings, and when it was almost time for dinner, they carried the basket on their backs and slowly returned to Bai's house.
I thought that after yesterday's beating and today's beating, the Liu family could be honest, the Bai family could calm down for a while, and the Wu family could be comfortable for a while.
Who knows, before stepping into the door, Bai Ying, who had been waiting for a long time, ran to Bai Wei and said loudly, "You guys are back, Sister Wei'er, hurry up, the third aunt's eyes are about to cry blind." ”
