Xiao Jinhe sat alone in the room and thought about it for a long time, and only went out at dinnertime, his face full of complexity.

I wanted to find her and secretly solve her, but when he thought of Jiang Xiaonian's smiling face, he couldn't be ruthless.

Is she really her?

"Brother Xiao, what's wrong with you? It's like a lost soul. ”

Xiao Jinhe looked up and saw Liang Yuanxuan walking towards him, lowered his eyes and said, "It's nothing, let's leave for Beijing tomorrow." ”

"Don't you have to bring back that beautiful woman you fancied? It's good to have a maid by your side. ”

"No, you don't."

There was no trace of emotion in the voice.

Two months passed in a blink of an eye, and before I knew it, summer was ushered in.

These days, Jiang Mengliang is working hard to weave bamboo plates, and Zhou Huihui grinds flour from time to time to sell in the town.

Because she was worried that the secret of the stone mill would be discovered, she didn't dare to sell too much every time, and only took about 20 catties a month to the town for 200 yuan.

However, even so, it is much better than the previous days.

The food at home gradually increased, and the number of times they bought rice and plate oil became much more frequent, Jiang Mengliang and Zhou Huihui felt that the more they passed, the more hopeful.

Jiang Xiaonian also cooks from time to time, a few days ago, the ramen made with fine flour, put a little chopped green onion and freshly made chili, and add half a wild egg, which is simply delicious in the world.

At this time, Jiang Xiaonian was standing in the field looking at the three little boys in front of him.

"Oh, over there! Grab it, yes, it's right behind you! ”

Three boys, eight or nine years old, were busy in the fields with their trousers tied up.

"Ahh I've got one! A boy shouted holding a large yellow eel.

"This bug is so big, it really won't bite?!"

Jiang Xiaonian hurriedly handed over the wooden barrel and asked him to put the yellow eel inside.

"I'm going to take this big worm home and feed it to the chickens, don't bite people, don't worry."

Jiang Xiaonian caught a pheasant in the mountains a month ago, and because it was too late, he planned to take it to the town to sell it the next day, but the next day he found that it actually laid an egg, so he saved its life.

Of course, this yellow eel was definitely not taken back to feed the chickens, so Jiang Xiaonian would not be so violent.

Her basket consisted of a number of wormwood poops, the size of a small hand, all fried in lard and made of fine flour, which was very delicious.

One wormwood poop for two large yellow eels is, in the eyes of those children, a pie in the sky.

After working for most of the morning, Jiang Xiaonian's basket of more than a dozen wormwood poops were distributed in exchange for more than 20 yellow eels.

As long as these children have something to eat, they are full of energy, and they run all over the field.

Jiang Xiaonian walked home with the wooden barrel with satisfaction.

Picking two cucumbers in the small vegetable garden in the backyard, digging some ginger, picking two peppers, and pinching a few tender perilla leaves, Jiang Xiaonian was busy in the kitchen.

The cucumber and ginger are cut into shreds, the pepper is chopped, the yellow eel is processed and cut into sections, and when the lard crackles in the pot, the yellow eel is poured in, and suddenly, a fresh fragrance spreads far and wide.

It didn't take long for a large bowl of boiled cucumbers with yellow eels to come out of the pot.

Jiang Xiaonian fried another bean carob and meat foam, added a green vegetable and a mushroom soup, and a table of sumptuous dishes was arranged.

Beans have also grown in the space in the past two months, but unfortunately except for beans, all that grow in other lands are soybeans.

Jiang Xiaonian found that she was more and more fond of running into the space, and every day she went to see what crops grew in the land in the space, she was full of energy.

Two new pieces of soil have been opened up in the space, and Jiang Xiaonian is still planting soybean seeds, looking forward to the new species coming out.

At this time, Jiang Mengliang and Zhou Huihui rushed back from the town and came to the kitchen together with Jiang Wei.

"Big Huzi, after today, you will be nine years old, and you will be one year older, and you will be able to participate in the children's test next year!"

Jiang Wei smiled: "Well, father, mother, I will definitely do my studies seriously and win glory for you!" ”

"Okay, good, what a good boy."

"Happy birthday, brother! Today I made a new dish for you to celebrate. ”

As soon as Jiang Wei heard this, he hurriedly ran over, staring at a few dishes on the table with his eyes shining.

Produced by my sister, it must be a high-quality product.

He didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly beckoned: "Dad, mother, come and eat!" I'm hungry. ”

The four of them were eating at the table, except for Jiang Xiaonian, the eyes of the other three people were all shining.

"Xiao Nian, what is this? Why is it so delicious? ”

"yes, I haven't eaten anything this delicious!"

Jiang Xiaonian showed a bright smile and said: "This is a yellow eel, caught in the field, I read the bamboo slips in the bookstore in the town, saying that the yellow eel has the effect of nourishing qi and blood, nourishing the liver and kidneys, so I wanted to try it, but I didn't expect it to taste very good." ”

Because he has more money in his hands, Jiang Mengliang occasionally goes to the town bookstore to buy some articles for Jiang Wei to read these days, so as to broaden his thinking, and every time he goes, Jiang Xiaonian also goes with him.

When Jiang Mengliang was looking for bamboo slips for some articles according to Jiang Weifuzi's explanation, Jiang Xiaonian was flipping through other books on the side, and she usually asked Jiang Wei to teach her how to write the characters here, she is a college student in modern times, and she doesn't want to be illiterate here.

Of course, the efficacy of this yellow eel is not seen from the bamboo slips, so they just don't doubt it.

Jiang Mengliang nodded and said to Zhou Huihui: "Xiao Nian is really a smart child, she can always find something good to eat, and once she makes it through her hands, everything becomes a delicacy, haha." ”

Both Zhou Huihui and Jiang Wei nodded affirmatively.

After Jiang Xiaonian's feeding, their family is about to become foodies.

After lunch, Zhou Huihui pulled Jiang Wei and Jiang Xiaonian into the room, the child grew up fast, and he ate well during this time, both of them grew a lot taller, and they had to measure the size again to make clothes.

It happens to be Jiang Wei's birthday today, even if it is a birthday gift for him.

When she went out to sell flour this morning, Zhou Huihui thought of this and bought a piece of cloth back.

The three of them were laughing and laughing in the room, and there was a sound of talking outside.

Then I heard Jiang Mengliang's shout: "Huihui, come out quickly, look who is coming!" ”

Zhou Huihui hurriedly put down the cloth in her hand and walked out, Jiang Xiaonian couldn't help but run out curiously to take a look.

"Dad, mother, all the way away, why are you here? It's still so hot. ”

As soon as she heard Zhou Huihui call her father, Jiang Xiaonian immediately reacted and hurriedly shouted: "Grandma, grandpa!" ”

Jiang Wei also greeted him.

Along with the two old men of the Zhou family, there were also two children from Jiang Xiaonian's uncle's family, one was three years old and the other was five years old.

There was also a cart and a small donkey in the yard, and they should have been riding on this cart and swaying slowly.

When the two old men saw Jiang Xiaonian and Jiang Wei, they touched their heads very happily and said, "Today is the birthday of the big tiger, and we want to come over and have a look after we are busy with the work in the fields, but I haven't seen them for a long time." ”

The two children were very shy, hiding behind the two old men and quietly looking around.
