Chapter 17: Eat Dry Rice
Yuan Ning turned around and ran just two steps, when he heard a slightly familiar voice behind him: "What are you running?" ”
Hey?
It's the Suhe Pavilion I met during the day!
Stopping, Yuan Ning turned around and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?" ”
"Something," Su Heting walked over to her, "It's a big night, what are you doing here?" ”
Yuan Ning lifted the rabbit in his hand, "I want to ask someone to help kill the rabbit and skin it." After speaking, he added in a low voice, "Thank you for helping catch rabbits." ”
"Oh," Su Heting nodded, reaching out and taking the rabbit over, "I'll help, besides, I don't want your rabbit meat." ”
Yuan Ning frowned and squinted at him, "Then what do you want?" ”
Su Heting chuckled, "You are quite vigilant. "This girl, he can't treat him like a child.
Yuan Ning tugged at the corners of his lips and stood still.
Su Heting walked towards their house without mistake.
There was no way, Yuan Ning had to follow, and asked in a low voice as he walked, "How do you know where our family lives?" What are you doing? ”
She is now twelve years old, half the age of a girl's family, and if she brings a young man home, if someone sees her, it will cause a big lawsuit.
Fortunately, the countrymen went to bed early, and there was no one outside at this time, and they deliberately lowered their voices when they spoke, so they should not have been discovered.
The two entered the house one after the other, and Bo Zhong and the others, who heard the footsteps inside, thought that Yuan Ning had returned, and said there, "Why did the eldest sister come back so early?" ”
As a result, when I looked up and saw a strange man coming in, I became nervous.
Bo Zhong looked at it for a long time and recognized it, "Ah, you were the one who was bitten by a snake one day!" ”
Su Heting smiled gently at him, "Little Engong, do you remember me?" ”
Bo Zhong stood up and touched his head embarrassedly, "I didn't do anything ...... either"
Yuan Ning walked out from behind Su Heting, and said with a stiff face: "This person said that he could help us kill rabbits...... But, Master Su, you can't kill in our house, bloody stabbing hula, I'm afraid of scaring my younger brothers and sisters. Besides, bloody gas is also easy to attract snakes, insects, rats and ants.
"Either I'm going to get someone to help, we can afford that bowl of rabbit meat." I won't bother you, you don't want to step on the ground, it's better to leave early, don't get your shoes dirty. ”
Su Heting glanced at her, why did she suddenly speak with a prickly voice?
He nodded, "Okay, I see, I'll take it out and kill it." Do you still want rabbit skins? I'll send it over later. ”
As he spoke, he turned around and walked away with the rabbit.
Yuan Ning didn't even have time to say the words of stopping.
Because people said that they would come back for a while, they couldn't sleep, and after coaxing Ji Xiu to sleep, the four sisters and brothers sat in the room with big eyes, but they were not afraid that people would ask for their rabbits, and they were not people who were rare rabbit meat at first glance.
The pine branches had been extinguished, and they were reluctant to light the oil lamps, so they waited in the dark.
After about an hour, Zhong Ling and Shu Yu were so sleepy that their little heads were little by little, and there was the sound of footsteps outside the door.
Yuan Ning immediately stood up, re-lit the extinguished pine branches, held a kitchen knife in his hand, and looked in the direction of the door with a vigilant face.
Bo Zhong also protected his younger siblings behind him.
When Su Heting came in and saw the two people who were full of vigilance, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he teased: "If I really have bad intentions, none of you can escape." ”
Yuan Ning rolled his eyes very indecently, "Then you can't sit still, can you?" ”
Su Heting carried two burdens in his hands, put them on the ground and opened them, one of them was wrapped in a stoneware pot, which was a rabbit meat that had been peeled and cut into pieces, the other was wrapped in a processed rabbit skin, and a large paper bag.
He took out the paper bag first and handed it to Yuan Ning, "Here are some spices, if you put them away, you will definitely be able to use them." Also, I see you're out of oil, so I put a jar of canola oil in the kitchen, and a little grain. You don't have to think about it, just because I'm repaying the favor of saving my life. That little money...... Not enough. ”
Knowing that he was not popular, he didn't stay long, put down his things and left.
Yuan Ning chased to the courtyard, the man was nowhere to be found, went to the kitchen to take a look, and found that there were three large pockets on the ground against the wall, one pocket was coarse white noodles, one pocket was millet, and the other was a bag of brown rice, which was enough for their family to eat for half a year.
This is what people call "a little food", and really, people can't compare with each other!
There was really a big jar on the stove, and when I opened the jar and smelled it, it was the smell of rapeseed oil.
This man is quite wealthy!
She thought that she had asked someone for money, and she said it so clearly that this matter would be over, but she didn't expect that people would come to the house to take a look and bring her grain and oil.
It seems that it is her villain's heart.
The younger brothers and sisters are all growing up, and each of them only eats a bowl of wild vegetable paste for dinner, except for chicken, and the children digest quickly, and they must be hungry now.
She didn't hesitate, dug up a bowl of the family's grains, added a small half bowl of brown rice, and mixed it to cook a pot of thick rice.
Wild vegetables are ready-made, and in the process of cooking, the vegetables are washed and cut, the pot is heated, two spoonfuls of oil are scooped in, and a wild vegetable is quickly fried.
Not to mention, there is enough oil and water, and wild vegetables are also fragrant.
When she was done, she went back and called her younger siblings to get up.
Shu Yu was letting Zhong Ling rub his stomach while humming: "Second sister, I'm hungry......"
How big can a pheasant get? Even if it's a wild vegetable paste...... Barely eating seventy percent full, at this hour, everyone is hungry.
Zhong Ling patted him gently, "Go to sleep, you won't be hungry when you fall asleep." ”
Yuan Ning listened to the feeling in his heart, and said loudly: "Get up and eat, our family has food!" ”
The three of them got up when they heard this, "Eldest sister, what did you say?" ”
Yuan Ning smiled, "I said, our family has food, we can all eat enough!" ”
The three of them hurriedly went to the ground, and they couldn't believe it, "Where did we get the food?" "Their family's little ration is still more because of the absence of parents, but the family of five does not have much labor capacity, so food can naturally be saved.
Ji Xiu was also hungry, opened his eyes and began to sobble quietly there.
Yuan Ning got up and picked her up, and took the lead to walk out, there was rice soup she scooped out in advance in the stove room, which was very sticky.
As soon as I entered the kitchen door, I smelled a pungent fragrance, and from Bo Zhong onwards, they were all very surprised, "Eldest sister, what are you giving us to eat?" "It's the smell of grain!
Zhong Ling stepped forward and lifted the lid of the pot, "Dry rice!" "Even though it's a multigrain meal, it's also dry rice! Even when their parents were alive, they were rarely able to eat dry rice!
Bo Zhong also leaned over, "It's true! ”
Shu Yu held his stomach, "I'm hungry ......"
Yuan Ning commanded Bo Zhong to set the table, Zhong Ling brought all the food to the table, and she also fed Ji Xiu.
But at this moment, Ji Xiu suddenly stopped sleeping, she held the baby in one hand and went to eat with the other, her labor intensity was the largest, and the amount of food was the largest, so she was hungry earlier than anyone else.
