"Qing'er, the vegetables you fried are not rotten, we can't eat them."

"Huh? It's not rotten, I think I've been fired, hahaha"

"We're old, we're going to eat the rotten stuff that's cooked."

"No wonder Grandma Meng Meng put the vegetables on the rice and steamed them to eat, so how to eat them, they are not nutritious."

"Qing'er, when are you leaving?"

"I'll leave tomorrow afternoon."

"Stay with me at night"

"Hmm"

Li Qing had just finished eating a bowl of rice when he heard someone knocking on the iron door, as if Ouyang was calling his name,

"Ouyang is here"

Li Qing put down the bowl and walked to the gate of the courtyard, pulled the latch, and Ouyang pushed the door in.

"Ouyang, have you eaten?"

"Didn't eat"

Ouyang opened the cabinet door, took the dishes and chopsticks to serve the rice, Wang Wang finished eating, and stood up.

"Daddy, sit"

"Mengmeng, are you full?"

"Well, I'm full"

Ouyang sat down and quickly ate two bowls of rice.

Meng packed her backpack and went out of the courtyard with Ouyang.

"Li Qing gave me the key to the provincial capital, and I will stay in the provincial capital at night"

"Oh, here you go"

"Grandma, I'm leaving"

"I'll come back next time on vacation"

Meng Meng smiled and agreed.

Sending Ouyang and Mengmeng away, Song Nanzhi washed the dishes and chopsticks, and Song Nanzhi asked Li Qing to burn one

Electric kettle water.

"Qing'er, you take a bath first"

Li washed his clothes in the shower and hung them on a hanger on a rope on the west side of the vegetable patch.

Song Nanzhi also took a bath, and his clothes were washed and dried.

"Qing'er, let's go out for a walk."

Li Qing accompanied Song Nanzhi along the village road.

The brothers next door make tofu,

Song Nanzhi greeted the next door through the roadside window

"Still busy?"

"Teacher Song, take a walk outside, Qing'er is back, take a walk with your mother."

Li Qing greeted with a smile.

"The two brothers are very hard-working, they bought a house in the county seat, their son and daughter-in-law are in the county seat, and the two brothers have poor grades in school when they were children. I used to live in Li Yun's place, and I made tofu for Hou Jiu and Li Feng in the courtyard outside, oh! Do it and don't do it, as long as you do things in a down-to-earth manner, how can you be worse than others? Are people really much smarter than you? Those who are about the same age buy houses and build buildings, and those who build buildings are still the same, so don't talk about it. ”

"Mom, they may not be there yet, as the saying goes, the dung heap also has a fever. Now it's good to open a decoration material store and dry slowly. ”

Song Nanzhi took out the key to open the door, and Li Qing went to the bathroom behind the kitchen to finish washing. He took the clean quilt that was spread out on the bed in the west room and carried it to the chair in the hall, leaving only a thin quilt.

Li Qing fried the greens, because he didn't make soup, Li Qing added some boiling water when he fried the greens.

There is also a large plate of steamed pork, a plate of fried broad beans, two thousand rolls and ten Qingming dumplings.

"Your third mother, brother and daughter-in-law once asked me: Do your three daughters often take you out to play?

I said that the eldest daughter and the younger daughter are very busy at home

After Song Nanzhi finished washing, he carried a red medium-sized plastic bucket with a lid to the hall.

"Keep the pee, you can water the vegetable garden"

"Qing'er, watch TV"

Song Nanzhi turned on the TV.

"Oh, I'm here to see."

Li Qing added some boiling water to the teacup, brought it to the bedside table in the east room, and sat down on the small wooden chair next to the bed.

The wooden door of Li Qingguan's hall house, the wooden door is a little deformed, and the bottom is a little rubbed on the ground, and the door must be held up to close it.

"Mom, you just have to ask someone to cut off a little bit of the bottom."

"I'll just give it this, and I won't do it now. I just moved back that year, and there was a crack next to the door, and I asked Li Yun to find someone to repair it. I live in it, why fix it!

Well, save, reluctant to spend money, now this granddaughter spends her, and the granddaughter goes to the street to buy snacks and pick them herself, and the good ones are expensive, hehe. “

"Hahaha, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read"

"You said that your mother-in-law has a bad temper, when you were young, your father-in-law stayed in the oil factory all day long, regardless of the family, there are so many farmlands at home, and there are four children, all carried by one woman, who will have a good temper?"

"I can't afford to provoke, I can afford to hide, how many days do I live with her a year?"

"It's all day long, son, son, how can a man be so careful, let his son serve her when he is old."

I sometimes think about it, no wonder people don't like to have daughters, from childhood to adulthood, the same support, raise adults, and when they are in their twenties and go to work to earn money, they marry into other people's families, and serve other people's parents all day long. My parents-in-law were really able to calculate at that time, and the bride price for me was 3,600 yuan, right? You spent 3,600 yuan to buy a big color TV at that time, and not long after you got married, you didn't divide the accounts, and your in-laws said that 3,600 yuan was borrowed, and asked me and Ouyang to pay back 3,600 yuan to others! Doesn't this mean that his family didn't spend a penny to marry me into the door?! During the New Year's holidays, I cater to my in-laws' family to eat and drink together, lively and lively, and my wife is lonely and lonely at home. “

"Now that Meng Meng is so big, what are you talking about? At first, you wanted it. ”

"I'm also chatting,

It's not about anything else, it's just that I occasionally think about those things in the past, and I feel very uncomfortable."

Li Qing and Song Nanzhi were silent for a while.

"The object of the cute place is about to be chosen"

"A smart mother-in-law should love her daughter-in-law, hey, Grandma Mengmeng is also stupid and pitiful, it seems that women don't have to be too strong, Grandma Mengmeng's temper has been much better in the past two years."

"Mom, I went to sleep, and I haven't slept well in the past few days."

"You sleep, I'll sleep after watching this TV series."

The next morning,

"Mom, buy some food today, and ask Feng'er Hou Jiu to come for lunch."

"Okay"

After breakfast, Song Nanzhi soaked a bowl of tofu sticks, Li Qing carried the vegetable basket and Song Nanzhi went to the Dongjie vegetable market to buy vegetables, bought two crucian carp, a handful of bamboo shoots, and cut a pound of pork belly.

"Mom, okay, let's go"

"Qing'er, let's go to Li Feng's place now."

"Good"

Next door to Li Feng's store is a dim sum shop.

I saw Li Feng standing at the door across the road, and Hou Jiu was sitting inside the counter.

"Mom, is the second sister on vacation?"

Hou Jiu asked with a smile on the corner of his mouth

"Feng'er, let's come to you for a snack. Is Hou Jiu busy now? ”

"Not busy today"

Song Nanzhi said deliberately

"Then we'll come to your house for dinner today."

"Okay, let's go cut some braised vegetables, haha"

"If you're not busy, come to my place for dinner at noon."

"Okay, Mom, I'm going to open a bottle of good wine, hehehe"

"Good"

"Feng'er, come with us first and help wash the vegetables, Hou Jiu, you can arrive at eleven o'clock."

"Okay, then I'll look at the store for a while, and I'll go at eleven o'clock."

Li Feng shook his white ponytail with his teeth, smiled and walked back to the old house with Song Nanzhi and Li Qing.

Back at the old house, Song Nanzhi said to Li Qing and Li Feng

"You two make a cup of tea and drink first."

"Second sister, I'm really a little thirsty"

"Well, these days, the weather is dry"

Li Qing drank a cup and added some boiling water to the cup.

"I'll wash the vegetables and chop the vegetables."

Song Nanzhi shouted while picking up leaves in the vegetable patch

"Feng'er, help me pick some greens in the vegetable field"

"Okay," Li Feng twisted his butt to take scissors from the kitchen, and squatted in the vegetable patch with a basket to pick small vegetables.

Li Qing came to the kitchen and killed a slightly larger crucian carp and raised the smaller one in the basin. Wash the fish, cut it a few times with an oblique knife on the back of the fish, place it on a plate and marinate it with salt and soy sauce.

Tear off the old skin of the bamboo shoots, cut off the old roots, and cut them into hob pieces.

Rinse the pork belly in clean water, cut it into even pieces, put a piece of ginger in a pot under cold water, boil the water, cook for another two minutes, remove it and drain it.

Li Qing heated the pot, poured the drained pork belly into the pot, placed the fat end in the middle of the pot, and pressed the oil out over low heat, and put the fat up.

Pour a spoonful of soy sauce into the pot, stir-fry, wrap the meat pieces in soy sauce, add boiling water, submerge the meat pieces, bring to a boil over high heat, add half a spoon of sugar, change to low heat and boil, after 20 minutes, insert the meat pieces with chopsticks, add a little salt, hold half of it, put the soaked tofu sticks into the pot and stir-fry, evenly coat the sauce, reduce the juice over high heat, and put it on a plate.

Pour the bamboo shoots into a pot of boiling water and cook for five minutes, take them out, drain the water, pour them into half of the cooked pork belly pot, stir-fry twice, cover and simmer for five minutes, pour in a spoonful of bean paste and stir-fry out of the pot and put it on a plate.

Li Qing braised the crucian carp again, and at this time Li Feng had already cooked the rice and washed the vegetables.

Song Nanzhi walked into the kitchen, carrying a bottle of wine in his hand,

"Mom, are you frying vegetables?"

"Well, I'll fry it."

Song Nanzhi fried the vegetables to a mess, and the color changed before they were served, Li Qing looked at it, and Li Yun was speechless.

“…”

At eleven :05, Hou Jiu came.

Li Yun scalded the bowls, chopsticks and wine glasses, Hou Jiu picked up the wine bottle, poured wine for everyone, gave Song Nanzhi half a cup, gave Li Qing a cup, and Li Feng a cup,

A cup of their own, everyone chatted while eating, and talked about many things about Li Zhenfu when he was alive.

"A week after your father died, I was lying in bed, weak, dripping water, and finally your eldest sister went to the county seat to buy Guiyuan stewed soup for me to drink, and I slowly recovered."

Li Qing lowered his head and was silent, looked up at Song Nanzhi, there was also a white discharge from the corner of his eye, Li Qing took out a tissue and handed it to Song Nanzhi, Song Nanzhi wiped the corner of his eye.

Li Qing really feels that Song Nanzhi is really old, although Song Nanzhi's short gray hair is always refreshing, he has never seen Song Nanzhi's hair wet, greasy and sticky together, the clothes he wears are clean, so clean, so clean, how can people who are so particular about the corners of their eyes...

A trace of sadness rose in Li Qing's heart. Li Qing was clear in his heart.

Song Nanzhi and Jiang Cui are different.

Song Nanzhi is middle-aged and widowed, Li Zhenfu is a rare good husband in the world, the couple are so loving, the husband died suddenly, and he didn't even leave a last word, this kind of blow is fatal.
