Chapter 127: Mid-Autumn Festival
"Yes, Dad, Pearl is going to make moon cakes, so let me help, you just came back, how do you know!" While Xie Xiaonian spoke, he glanced at Xie Xiaobao, thinking that he should have told Father Xie.
"I didn't say that!" Xie Xiaobao saw Xie Xiaonian looking at himself, and hurriedly said, he was afraid that Xie Xiaonian would misunderstand him and not give him moon cakes at night.
"When I came back, I heard from the people in the village that the work they earned was not enough for them to eat, so how could they have food to make moon cakes!" Father Xie asked casually.
In fact, he heard the people in the village speculate that Xie Xiaonian took the food from the family and sent it to the educated youth, so he asked this question, after all, the food at home is not abundant, and he can't tolerate Xie Xiaonian taking his own food out to fill the show.
"There is no food to buy, although they don't earn much work, but after all, they are from the city, and they are not short of money, otherwise how can they have money to build kitchens and toilets." Xie Xiaonian responded.
In fact, Xie Xiaonian is right, usually the villagers renovate their houses, not only to cut wood, but also to save money to buy glutinous rice.
And even the wheat straw on the roof, they have to save it for years.
So at this time, if you don't have money, you can't build a house casually.
Some people can't even afford to build a partial house, and their children don't have a house to live in when they get married, so they can only squeeze or directly divide a house into two with bamboo, so as to make a living.
When Li Pearl and Liu Yifan built the kitchen and toilet, the wood and straw were bought from the villagers, and anyone in the village would think that the two of them had money in their hands.
In fact, what the villagers didn't know was that when Li Pearl and the others built a house, they used up all the money and food stamps in their hands, but fortunately they brought a lot of food stamps, otherwise with their little money, a kitchen might not be able to be built.
Father Xie heard Xie Xiaonian say this, so he believed Xie Xiaonian's words, and no longer pursued the matter, and then continued: "Push the bicycle into the house, you hang up this meat first, and I'll get you a few catties of white noodles in a while, don't forget to make dumplings at night." ”
"Don't worry, Dad, you won't forget it. It just so happened that Pearl gave me 4 moon cakes, let's add moon cakes in the evening, and we can have a successful Mid-Autumn Festival. Xie Xiaonian took the initiative to talk about moon cakes.
"So much?" Father Xie asked in surprise.
"They make southern-style mooncakes, each of which is relatively small, and one is the size of a palm, unlike the ones we sell here, one has a catty." Xie Xiaonian knew that Father Xie had misunderstood, so he explained.
"It's so small, those 4 don't have half a catty." Father Xie just said with some disappointment.
"They just respond to the situation, and they don't rely on this to eat enough, after all, this is made of fine grains, and they can't afford to eat more." Xie Xiaonian said.
"Well, then you can add more vegetables to the meat later, wrap more dumplings, don't eat enough." The family hasn't eaten meat for so long, and everyone will definitely eat a lot.
"yes, I see, Dad." Even if Father Xie doesn't say it, Xie Xiaonian will do it, after all, there are so many people in the family, just this pound of meat, if you don't put more dishes, it won't be enough.
After speaking, Xie Xiaonian pushed the bicycle into the house, and the meat also turned around and hung it in the kitchen.
When Father Xie went out, Xie Xiaobao ran to the kitchen and said happily to Xie Xiaonian: "Second sister, do we really eat dumplings at night?" ”
"Hmmm! Didn't you just hear that? ”
"Great, second sister, you pack more, I think I can eat 3 big bowls!" The last time Xie Xiaobao ate meat, it was when Xie Xiaonian was married, he hadn't eaten meat for nearly 5 months, and he couldn't eat it early.
"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll have enough!"
After Xie Xiaobao got Xie Xiaonian's affirmative reply, he hurriedly ran out to show off with his friends, after all, eating dumplings was a big deal for him.
When Xie Xiaonian read the book and his eyes were a little swollen, he realized that the sun had begun to set, and it was time to make dinner.
So Xie Xiaonian put down the book in his hand and went to the vegetable garden to cut a large handful of leeks.
Because Father Xie said to let him wrap more, Xie Xiaonian made a lot of leeks and prepared them to be mixed with the meat filling, so that although the dumplings will not be very delicious, they can have more filling.
When Xie Xiaonian was choosing vegetables, he saw Wu Lihua leading Xie Xiaobao and Xie Xiaoye back, so much earlier than usual, and at a glance, he knew that he was coming back and waiting to eat dumplings.
"Second sister, I'll help you choose the dishes." Xie Xiaobao saw that Xie Xiaonian was cooking, and immediately stepped forward to help.
may be thinking about eating dumplings quickly, so although Wu Lihua and Xie Xiaoye didn't help, they didn't look for Xie Xiaonian's stubble.
Because there were more packages, when Father Xie and Xie Dabao came back to eat, Xie Xiaonian was able to finish wrapping the dumplings, and was directing Xie Xiaobao to boil water and prepare to cook dumplings.
Seeing the two coming back, Xie Xiaonian said, "Dad, you go wash your hands first, the first pot will be ready to cook immediately." ”
And Father Xie looked at Xie Xiaonian and Xie Xiaobao, who were busy in the kitchen, and then looked at Wu Lihua and Xie Xiaoye resting in the hall, frowned, and did not speak.
After all, it's a holiday, and if he doesn't lose his temper, he still doesn't want to lose his temper.
There are many people in the family, so Xie Xiaonian needs to cook three pots to cook all the dumplings.
Because the pot is relatively fast, it didn't take a few minutes for Xie Xiaonian to cook the first pot of dumplings.
There were a total of 4 bowls in this pot, Xie Xiaonian served a bowl to Father Xie first, and said, "Dad, it has just come out of the pot, you eat it while it's hot." Then he said to Xie Dabao: "Dabao, there is a good one on the pot, you can serve it yourself." ”
Because today Xie Xiaobao helped choose vegetables for a while and helped light the fire for a while, so after Xie Xiaonian returned to the kitchen, even if Father Xie didn't speak, Xie Xiaonian directly took a bowl and handed it to Xie Xiaobao, who was sitting in front of the stove and swallowing saliva greedily.
If it was before, Xie Xiaobao would have dared to serve the first bowl of rice, but in recent months, after Father Xie has become more and more strict, without Father Xie speaking, Xie Xiaobao really didn't dare to reach out to serve the rice, especially when improving his life.
After Xie Xiaobao took the bowl handed over by Xie Xiaonian, he didn't start eating immediately, his little eyes swept at Father Xie, and after seeing that he didn't object, he ate happily.
He wasn't afraid of getting hot, and stuffed them into his mouth one by one, but fortunately he still remembered looking at the fire in the stove.
In the last bowl, Xie Xiaonian didn't plan to serve it herself, she was not hungry enough to grab food with Xie Xiaoye.
Because there is only one pound of meat, in order to make more dumplings, Xie Xiaonian put a lot of leeks, but there are more vegetables and less meat, and the dumplings don't feel fragrant.
Xie Xiaonian wrapped a total of nearly 250 dumplings, but he didn't expect to eat them all in the end, even Xie Xiaobao ate 2 large bowls, Xie Xiaonian was a little afraid that he would break his stomach.
After eating, Xie Xiaonian took out the four moon cakes.
"Dad, this is the mooncake that Pearl gave me today, you can share it with everyone!" Xie Xiaonian said.
"You can divide it directly, and I won't touch my hands." This kind of trivial matter, Father Xie didn't plan to interfere.
"Well, Xiaobao helped with a lot of work today, so he divided Xiaobao into a whole, Dabao also worked for a day, and he also divided one, and the rest of the people were half a person." Xie Xiaonian was fairly distributed.
"I'm going to eat a whole too! That's not enough for me to stuff my teeth! Xie Xiaoye saw that he was only half, and said unhappily.
"What did you do today? Learn from your mother to be lazy all day long, and you still want to eat a whole, but your second sister didn't say to eat a whole. ”
When Father Xie came back in the evening, he was a little dissatisfied when he saw Xie Xiaonian and Xie Xiaobao working in the kitchen, while Wu Lihua and Xie Xiaoye, who had been playing for a day, were resting in the house, so they were not polite at this time, and said directly.
Seeing that Father Xie was about to lose his temper again, Wu Lihua hurriedly pulled Xie Xiaoye and didn't let her speak anymore.
Seeing that Father Xie acquiesced to his own distribution method, Xie Xiaonian directly distributed the moon cakes to everyone, as for who ate what filling, Xie Xiaonian didn't care.
And Xie Xiaobao looked at the whole moon cake in his hand, and said happily to Xie Xiaonian: "Thank you, second sister, second sister, I will help you work tomorrow." ”
Because of this distribution, Xie Xiaobao had the idea of more work and more rewards in his mind for the first time, and he was interested in work for the first time.
The next day, Xie Xiaonian hadn't gone out yet, but he saw the third grandmother coming to the house.
"Third grandma, why are you here?" Xie Xiaonian asked in surprise.
"I'm looking for you for something, you're busy for a while, I'll come to the house for a while!" The third grandmother said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll go over when I'm done!"
As soon as Xie Xiaonian arrived at the third grandmother's house, the third grandmother pulled Xie Xiaonian into the kitchen, and then took out the moon cakes given by Xie Xiaonian yesterday from the hanging basket and said: "Pearl can give you a few months of cakes, you give me so much, I ate two yesterday, and you can keep the rest and eat it slowly!" ”
"Didn't you go to your nephew's house yesterday for the holidays? Why are there so many left! ”
"I went, but I didn't bring the moon cakes, the whole village made moon cakes with you and Li Zhuzhu, and I didn't know each other well with those two educated youths, if I took this moon cake to my nephew's house, wouldn't the whole village know about it, did you send it to me? When the time comes, your stepmother will have something to say. The third grandmother analyzed.
"It's okay, I'm not afraid of her." Xie Xiaonian said indifferently.
"It's not a question of being afraid or not, it's better to have more than less. And if you send me so much at once, the people in the village must think that those two educated youths are very rich, so isn't that also asking for trouble for them! The third grandmother looked at Xie Xiaonian's indifferent appearance and said carefully.
"Then you can keep it for yourself, I gave me a lot of pearls yesterday, I still have it, you can keep these for yourself!"
"I'm done eating, you eat it quickly, or it'll be bad."
"Then I'll eat two, and you can keep the remaining 4 for yourself, otherwise I won't eat any of them!"
"Okay, okay, two of them, hurry up and eat, don't be seen."
After Xie Xiaonian finished eating the moon cakes, chatted with the third grandmother for a while, and walked directly to the mountain.
"Xiao Nian, are you okay?" Li Pearl stood at the foot of the mountain, saw Xie Xiaonian coming over, and immediately asked anxiously.
"What can I do!"
"Yesterday, Lin Xiaodan told me about going to my place to make moon cakes, and your stepmother didn't blame you for not working or taking the food from home!" Li Pearl asked worriedly.
"The things I took are really my own, not at home, don't worry! And I also brought the mooncakes back, and they were too late to be happy, how could they blame me. Xie Xiaonian said with a smile.
"Didn't the team start to organize mountain sweeping today, why are you still here?" Xie Xiaonian then asked.
"Isn't this worried about you, just let Liu Yifan ask me for a while, since you are fine, I will rest assured, be careful when you go up the mountain, I will also go to work!"
"Well, you should also be careful, you are not short of food now, don't let yourself be too tired, and don't forget to bring a snake repellent medicine bag." Xie Xiaonian instructed.
"Well, I know, I take it with me every day, I'm leaving!" After saying that, Li Pearl hurried to the east.
After Xie Xiaonian went up the mountain, she didn't wander around the place where they often moved, but walked a distance into the mountain, and she decided to go inside to see if there was anything new to discover.
Xie Xiaonian walked into the mountains while picking wild fruits and digging up some uncommon medicinal herbs.
may be because no one came in this mountain, so Xie Xiaonian gained a lot along the way.
When Xie Xiaonian was about to sit down to eat something, he suddenly saw a green plant with purple red in the distance. Still struggling with the latest chapter you can't find?
