When Lin Xiaozhu was about to walk to the door, Aunt Liu came out of the door and stopped her: "Xiaozhu, come, my aunt has cooked snails, come and taste them." ”

"No need, Aunt Liu, you can keep it for Xiaoyu and Xiaochun to eat."

"Where is so much nonsense, let you eat it, you will eat." Aunt Liu grabbed her and walked into the yard, "There's no meat, it's just a taste." This snail was caught last time, and it was clean after spitting mud for a few days. I knocked on the snail and put the sour bamboo shoots to fry, and the taste was not bad. ”

Lin Xiaozhu's heart warmed, and she no longer shirked, and followed Aunt Liu into her kitchen.

"Sister Xiaozhu." Four little heads raised their heads from the bowl. Aunt Liu's eldest child was ten years old, and the youngest was two years old, and they were eating happily around the round table.

Aunt Liu scooped a bowl of snails from the pot and put it in front of Lin Xiaozhu: "Sit down, hurry up and eat." After a while, I will be scolded again if I go back late. ”

Why not be scolded? Chickens and dogs chased after her and beat her up, and she couldn't run. Lin Xiaozhu remembered the clothes that had been washed away by the water, shrugged his shoulders, sat down, took a snail and put it in his mouth, and a fresh sweet and slightly sour and slightly muddy taste overflowed the entire mouth.

"It's a little fishy, but it tastes okay." Aunt Liu smiled, "If it weren't for this fishy smell, I guess I wouldn't be able to wait for me to catch this snail." ”

Lin Xiaozhu thought for a while and said, "Actually, if you put something on it, this snail is not only not fishy, but also extremely delicious." ”

Aunt Liu slapped her face: "I actually forgot that when your grandfather was alive, he was a famous cook in these ten miles and eight villages." There is a banquet in any village, but he holds the spoon. Then he asked, "What to put it?" ”

"Shiso, it tastes particularly good. I remember that my grandfather used to make snails, first adding oil to stir-fry the green onions, ginger and garlic, then putting the snails in and stir-frying, and then putting the perilla in the water and simmering for two quarters of an hour. That smell ......" Lin Xiaozhu looked at the sky outside the door, recalling the taste of the snails he had drunk at the snail stall in his previous life, with a look of nostalgia, "It's very fragrant!" Take a sip, the snail meat and the soup will enter the mouth together, it is particularly delicious, and there is a sweet fragrance in the freshness......" Speaking of this, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva, "That kind of fresh fragrance is better than the taste of fish and meat, and I want to eat one and the next." ”

"Mother, I want to eat the snails that Sister Xiaozhu said." Four-year-old Xiaowu put down the snail in his hand and looked at Aunt Liu with big eyes.

"Shiso?" Aunt Liu thought for a moment and asked, "What is it?" ”

Lin Xiaozhu broke out in a cold sweat: "This ...... I also heard my grandfather say that. At that time, I was still young, and my grandfather didn't teach me to recognize it. "In her previous life, she could only eat, not cook, what perilla looked like, she really didn't know.

"Maybe my mother-in-law knows. I'm going to ask her to go. With that, he stood up and turned to go out. After a while, with a handful of plants in his hand, he happily entered the kitchen, raised the plant in his hand and said, "My mother-in-law said, this is the case." There was a lot of growth next to the vegetable patch, and I thought it was in the way and wanted to pull it out, but I didn't expect it to be of such use. After speaking, he poured all the snails in front of the little ones back into the pot, "Mother, put them in the pot and cook them again." You wait. He also instructed Lin Xiaozhu, "You just have to wait here, I told your aunt to let you do me a favor, it's okay to go back later." ”

"Nope." Lin Xiaozhu stood up, "I still have to go home and cook." In the future, there will be a chance to taste Aunt Liu's snails, so there is no hurry. ”

"Well, that's fine." Aunt Liu knew Qin's temper, and she didn't dare to keep her at the moment. scooped up the water and asked Lin Xiaozhu to wash her hands and let her go home.

"You can wash a few pieces of clothes for a long time, and if you don't know, you think you're weaving." As soon as he entered the courtyard, Qin's angry scolding voice came, "Don't hurry up and cook." ”

Thinking of the third aunt's words, Lin Xiaozhu raised his big eyes and glanced straight at her, then put down the wooden basin and walked slowly towards the kitchen.

At this glance, Qin was stunned.

Since Lin Xiaozhu was beaten and scolded when she came to this house, although she also listened to her to do things, she basically didn't have to look at herself like this. What's so weird today? Didn't you hear any gossip while you were doing the laundry?

Thinking of this, the Qin family was about to stop Lin Xiaozhu and ask a few words, when she heard her son's voice calling her in the house, she had to put down Lin Xiaozhu's matter and go into the house to help her son get dressed.

"Mother, every morning you make people so noisy that they can't sleep well." As soon as she entered the house, her thirteen-year-old daughter Xia Chunyan was lying lazily on the bed and complained to her, "If you want to scold her, won't you scold her when we get up?" I can still help you. ”

"I get angry at that dead girl as soon as I see her. Don't let you scold, you want to suffocate your mother? Qin slapped her on the face, "Get up quickly." So lazy, wait for two years to get married, what do you do? ”

"Isn't that two years away?" Xia Chunyan got up with a smile, "Besides, don't you see that the dog just got up?" ”

"Are you small or is he small?" Qin's eyes widened, "Hurry up and call your dead ghost father." He counted Xia Dazhu again in his mouth.

"You know that your father is going to beat someone if he loses money, and you still let me go, am I your biological daughter?" Xia Chunyan combed her hair, looked in the mirror, and her eyes became vicious, "I'll let Lin Xiaozhu call." Because Lin Xiaozhu is better and diligent than her, her mother told her several relatives, but as soon as people came on a blind date, they only looked at Lin Xiaozhu, which made Xia Chunyan hate Lin Xiaozhu to the extreme.

But she didn't have anything to do with Lin Xiaozhu. Lin Xiaozhu is not even afraid of her sturdy old lady, she scolds her, ridicules her, and satirizes her, which is simply a waste of saliva. Once she was so angry that she wanted to chase Lin Xiaozhu, and was tripped by Lin Xiaozhu and ate. This made Xia Chunyan choke with anger every time she thought about it.

Lin Xiaozhu, who was busy making vegetable bran dumplings in the kitchen, listened to her words, but didn't raise his head: "Uncle will naturally get up when he sleeps enough, what do you ask him to do?" ”

"If you don't tell him to get up, what will you do in the field?" Xia Chunyan's eyes widened, "If you come to my house to eat my family's food, you have to work, and all the work in the field today is done by you!" If you don't do it, you won't be given food for two days, no, no, four days, four days. ”

"Isn't it? Your words don't count, you'd better ask your mother. Lin Xiaozhu glanced at her with a smile, still slowly making vegetable bran dumplings.

"Mother, mother, come quickly." Xia Chunyan was deflated one after another, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and screamed. She took her mother, and her voice was not ordinarily loud, and she shouted so loudly that the ashes on the house fell one by one. Lin Xiaozhu looked at the ashes that fell into the vegetable balls, and the smile on his face was even bigger when he was protecting two more vegetables in his hand.

"What's the matter? Do? The Qin family naturally knew that her daughter was not Lin Xiaozhu's opponent, but she repeatedly provoked her, and impatiently led Xia Gouzi over.

"I told her to call my daddy, but she didn't. I'm going to leave her without food for four days. Xia Chunyan pointed at Jiang Ling and said.

The Qin family knew that if he really wanted to promise his daughter, Lin Xiaozhu might not return home for four days. This family does laundry, cooks, chops wood, and feeds pigs, but it all depends on Lin Xiaozhu, and she has to do these jobs by herself if she doesn't return home. Besides, Lin Xiaozhu can hide from Xia Dazhu if he doesn't return home for a day or two, but if he doesn't return home for four days, he will have to be beaten again. At that moment, he glared at Lin Xiaozhu and said, "Make a meal and go and tell your uncle to get up." ”

Lin Xiaozhu didn't go to find a fight, whoever went would be unlucky. But she didn't say anything, rolled her eyes at the dumplings, put them in the steamer one by one, and started to make a fire. When he saw that the fire was burning, he washed his hands and went out into the courtyard to dry his clothes.

When she finished drying her clothes and returned to the kitchen to start picking up vegetable dumplings from the steamer, she heard a scream in the yard, followed by Xia Chunyan's deafening voice: "Lin Xiaozhu, where did my favorite skirt go?" Then the voice changed direction, "Mother, Lin Xiaozhu lost my new dress." ”

"Dead girl, I think you're tired of being crooked." There was a noise from the firewood piled up at the door, and then Qin's figure appeared at the kitchen door.
