Hearing this, Song smiled, "Cheng, then you can try it, tie the apron, don't stain your clothes." ”

Tao Sixi tied his apron and picked up the knife, while Song scooped up the rice, put it in the pot inside and began to cook rice.

Glancing at Tao Sixi, who was cutting pork liver, Song couldn't help but ask again: "Four girls, what are you going to cook?" Gava gives you a hand. ”

Tao Sixi had already taken a look at all the ingredients in the stove room, and said without thinking: "Braised pork belly, pork liver and green vegetables to make soup." ”

Song squinted his eyes and smiled: "Okay, then I'll wash the greens first." ”

Tao Sixi nodded, the three of them were busy in an orderly manner, the sound of pots and pans was mixed with talking and laughing, and the small stove room was warm and lively.

……

Near noon, the old man Yang Maokui came back with a hoe.

With him was another old man from the same village, the two old men's homes were close to each other, and the paddy fields were also together, so they would call it a day and go home for dinner.

The two old men were talking about the crops as they walked, and out of nowhere came the smell of good meat.

The old man Maokui didn't eat in the morning, and he did another day's work, and his stomach was empty at the moment, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he smelled the smell of meat.

The old man next to him also moved his nose and said with a smile: "Which mother-in-law is this roasting meat?" It's fragrant, I can pull three bowls of rice with this meat! ”

The old man of Maokui said in his heart, I can too, I can still drink a jar of burning knife wine.

But the old man didn't say anything, because he knew that it couldn't be his own.

"I smell that smell wafting from our alley, could it be that your family is roasting meat?" Old man Maokui quipped.

The old man next to him shook his head: "I don't know, this Dragon Boat Festival, my mother-in-law killed the chicken, the eldest son bought a grass carp weighing more than three catties, and the second daughter gave loaches, but it is also possible that the younger son weighed the meat and said it ......."

Hearing the old man next to him count so many sons, daughters, grandchildren, and grandchildren in one breath, the old man Maokui's eyes dimmed, and he had no intention of joking with him.

People are full of children and grandchildren, and during the New Year's holidays, a large family gathers together around the table to eat lively.

But in my own family, my son and daughter are long gone, and my two granddaughters don't move around, over the years, day and night, I and my wife are staring at each other, hey, they are also old men, why is my own evening scene so bleak?

The old man's house next to him was a little outside the alley, and the old man's house was still going into the alley.

The old man stopped and asked the old man Maokui: "Brother Maokui, why don't you come to my house for a drink?" ”

The old man Maokui glanced at the children running around in his house, shook his head and said, "Thank you, my wife is still waiting for me to go back at home, and I will come to drink with you next time!" ”

The old man didn't stay long, turned around and went into the house, and went with his grandson and granddaughter in his arms.

The old man sighed, carried the hoe and walked inside, recalling the scene of the festival when his daughter and son were still young, thinking about it, and feeling pantothenic acid in his heart.

"Wife, I'm back."

When the old man pushed open the door, he habitually shouted inside.

"Ga Gong, you are finally back, I am asking Ga Po where the paddy field is, if you don't come back, I will go to the field to call you, the food is cooked!"

A tall figure greeted him, and the crisp voice was so familiar.

When the old man raised his head, he saw his eldest granddaughter Tao Dalan standing in front of him with a smile.
