Approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival, I don't want to say anything unlucky.

I hope to be reunited and have a happy holiday.

People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny.

This matter is difficult to complete, but I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles.

…………

Lin Qingqing came back with her sister Miao Miao, said hello to Xiao Shi, looked at the woman's body, and saw that her tall figure was wearing a blue coarse cloth dress with patches, her hair was tied in a bun, and a peach wood hairpin was inserted.

The third aunt's eyes were very large, her complexion was dark yellow, there was a black shadow under her eyes, there were some residual bloodshots in her eyes, and her face was full of tiredness, as if she had not closed her eyelids all night.

Lin Qingqing asked with concern: "Third aunt, how is the situation of the little cousin?" Has the fever gone away? Has the doctor come to see you?"

Hearing Qingqing's question, Xiao Shi's feet were slightly in disbelief, and a touch of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

"Qing'er, you're good, come and show the third aunt."

Lin Qingqing walked up as she said and stood in front of the third aunt.

Xiao's big cocooned hand gently covered Lin Qingqing's forehead, as if feeling something, muttered, "Thank God, you're finally fine!" ”

"Well, I'm fine, what's wrong with my little cousin?"

"The burn hasn't gone away, but it's not as hot as last night, it's almost night, and your sister Shuying hasn't called a doctor yet, hey!"

"Should be back soon! Third aunt, don't worry, go see the little cousin first! I went back to cooking. ”

Lin Qingqing was saying goodbye to the third aunt and preparing to go back to her kitchen, but before anyone entered the house, there was a burst of angry scolding from the west wing opposite.

"Everyone, what are you hiding in the house and grinding? The sun is going down, and you don't go to the kitchen to cook on the fire, will it be possible to wait for the men to come back and be hungry? ”

At the same time as the voice suddenly sounded, Lin Qingqing turned her head to see that at the door of the west wing, an old woman was standing there holding on to the wooden door, with a tiger face, sparse eyebrows, and a pair of eyes when she looked at people, as if she was staring at you. Flat-nosed, thin lips, gray hair neatly combed behind his head, tied in a bun, a few thin silver hairpins, and a silver round earring on both ears.

Short, thin and thin, wearing a new set of dark blue cloth clothes, with large feet, obviously unwrapped, it should be a woman who has been working in the field since she was a child.

The first time Lin Qingqing saw this old woman, she felt that this was not easy to get along with.

The thought had barely crossed my mind, and the old woman at the door closed her two thin lips one by one and shouted again.

"Seeing that it's almost night, the rice is not washed and the stove is cold, are you deliberately making the whole family hungry? I can't find you everywhere, but I'm hiding here and dying, you lazy and bad scumbag! ”

I only heard a few whispering words: "Mother, I just came in, didn't I go to the vegetable field to look for pigweed?" I also went to collect a lot of firewood, and the pine hair at home was burned! ”

"Whew!"

The old woman Wang's swishing eyes swept over her daughter-in-law Li in the house, her face was full of disgust, and she spat on the ground and scolded: "Just hit such a small box of pigweed, enough for you to eat or enough for pigs!" Loose hair is also half a frame, not enough to cook a meal, you lazy and slippery loser! ”

Lin Qingqing listened for a long time, and the corners of her mouth opened a meaningful arc, saying this, the old Wang family, his tongue is also a little vicious, right? Aren't you afraid of scolding your eldest daughter-in-law to the point of being angry?

Lin Qingqing shook her head, looked at the third aunt who had already gone to the small cousin's house, and led the stunned sister back to the kitchen.

Lin Miaomiao came back to her senses and saw that her sister was looking at herself, tilting her head slightly, her brows furrowed slightly, as if she was thinking about things.

She whispered, "Sister, what are you thinking?" I'm hungry, go cook, didn't you say there was duck stewed in the pot......"

"Well, I'll heat up the rice later, just fry a green vegetable, you can help me go to the fire."

"Hmm!" Lin Miaomiao nodded vigorously.

"Where's Daddy, where did Daddy go? Why aren't you at home now? Lin Miaomiao came back for a while, but she didn't see her father, and asked suspiciously.

"My father went to my uncle's house, saying that I didn't understand some problems in the books, and he wanted to ask for advice, and told us to eat first in the evening, he might eat at my uncle's house, but we will leave him a bowl of food later!"

"Good!" Lin Miaomiao nodded obediently.

Lin Qingqing touched her sister's head, then went into the kitchen, lit the oil lamp first, and then opened the wooden lid of the cauldron, and soon a burst of smoke came out, Lin Qingqing turned over with a spatula, and the duck was already stewed.

"It smells so good!" Lin Miaomiao sniffed and said with a smile.

A soybean oil lamp was lit on the stove, and in the corner of the wall, Lin Qingqing shoveled all the duck meat from the pot into a casserole, and then scooped a scoop of water to brush the pot.

Putting the lid on the casserole, she ran to the place where the fire was burning, stuffed the firewood into it, and when she lit it, she called her sister to sit on the bench where the fire was burning.

I went to wash the rice myself, scrubbed the rice three or two times, and then added water again, covered the lid, put it on a small stove, and added a handful of pine hair to the bottom to make the fire more vigorous.

"Sister, for dinner, we eat porridge or dry rice." Lin Miaomiao asked with a smile while lighting the fire.

"Cook some porridge, wait for the porridge to be ready, and then get a spicy tofu and stir-fry a water spinach!" Lin Qingqing said.

Thinking of the spicy tofu, Lin Miaomiao's saliva couldn't help but slide down!

In the past, when my mother was here, she loved to cook spicy things to eat, and she also liked to eat them.

No, I can't miss my mother anymore.

Alas......

Lin Qingqing squatted down and picked up the water spinach by the light of the fire in the small stove.

She washed all these dishes in the water by the river, and only needed to pour them with clean water to cut the pot, so it didn't take much effort to make them.

Wash the fresh water spinach without chopping too much, then wash two garlic, cut it into thin slices, and stir-fry it later.

Lin Qingqing put the chopped water spinach in a large bowl, she took out a piece of tofu soaked in another bowl, and cut it into boxy pieces with a knife.

Then use boiling water to run the tofu through hot water first to remove the beany smell.

Lin Qingqing put the chopped green onion, ginger and garlic foam into the hot oil pan, picked up the spatula and stir-fried quickly, and immediately scooped a spoonful of bean paste, and then stir-fried.

The oil and water are heavy, and after a vigorous stir-fry, the hot and spicy fragrance comes out.

Pour the prepared two-tael pork foam into the pot, and it is another dazzling stir-fry.

She bent slightly, leaned forward, and waved a spatula in her arms.

The inconspicuous long spatula with a wooden handle, in her hands, was like a person who had practiced martial arts, making it handy.

Soon the kitchen wafted with the enticing smell of meat.

Lin Qingqing pushed the tofu cubes into the pot one by one, and then sprinkled in the appropriate amount of salt and put in the appropriate amount of sugar.

Finally, she picked up a clean bowl and put a spoonful of sweet potato flour in it, and mixed it with an appropriate amount of water.

Stir well and sprinkle on top of the tofu.

"It's time to get out of the pot!" Lin Qingqing said happily, and she sprinkled in the verdant chive foam again.

I didn't expect that making this spicy tofu with this big shovel and earthen stove was not as difficult as I imagined.

Lin Qingqing took a plate from the cupboard and carefully took out the mapo tofu and put it on the plate.

Each piece of tofu, golden and golden, shook gently.

She picked up a pair of chopsticks, picked up a piece of tofu, blew it with her mouth, and then handed it to Lin Miaomiao's mouth: "You taste it." ”

Lin Miaomiao obediently opened her mouth, put the tofu in her mouth, closed her eyes, and chewed gently......

After eating, she slowly opened her eyes, her eyes lit up, "Sister, can I eat another piece?" It's so delicious! ”

Lin Qingqing curled the corners of her mouth and smiled happily.

"There will be duck meat later, you can eat a duck leg at that time, don't worry, I'll brush the pot, the porridge will be ready, and then the vegetables will be fried!"

"Oh!" Lin Miaomiao was still a little disappointed, although the duck meat was delicious, but in fact, when Xiao Tan was here, he could eat chicken and duck once in seven or eight days, and the food at home was not bad, but Xiao Tan's was not very good at housework, and the meals he cooked were also average, how could he compare with Lin Qingqing's cooking skills?

After the meals were ready, Lin Qingqing first took two clean bowls, put duck meat in the two bowls respectively, and said to her sister: "Father won't come back for dinner today, the two of us will each bring a bowl of duck meat to my uncle and the third uncle's house, you take this little belt to my uncle's house, and I will take this to the third uncle's house." ”

Lin Miaomiao nodded and went out with the bowl.

Lin Qingqing glanced at the rest of the pot, and there was about half a duck in the pot, leaving a duck leg for her sister to eat, and then she would eat two pieces of meat and drink some soup.

This body is quite thin, you still have to eat some meat to make up for it, Lin Qingqing was probably more worried in the past, even if the food at home was good, but she didn't grow a little meat, and the whole person was like a bean sprout.

took the duck meat to the third uncle's house, the third aunt praised her, and Lin Qingqing didn't stay long and quickly returned to her kitchen.

After a while, Lin Miaomiao came back.

After the two sisters had dinner in the stove room, Lin Qingqing boiled hot water and washed her face and feet with her sister, and then asked her to go back to the house to rest, and she had to clean up herself.

As soon as he cleaned up, Lin Donghai, who was a little drunk, arrived home.

After he entered the house, he couldn't help but look up at the eldest daughter, and saw that the eldest girl was covering the younger daughter with a quilt, as if he saw Xiao Tan's family, a trace of loss inexplicably crossed in his heart, and suddenly thought of something, his heart was suddenly confused, and he hurriedly asked: "Why did Miao Miao go to bed so early today, have you eaten?" ”

"Dad, we've all eaten, and if you're hungry, I'll leave you some food." Lin Qingqing raised her head and whispered.

Lin Donghai was slightly stunned, looking at his eldest daughter in surprise, a little incredulous what he heard.

"Girl, isn't Dad dreaming? You—You're speaking neatly! ”

Ran to Lin Qingqing's side, "Qing'er, are you all right?" ”

Lin Donghai's eyes, while saying these words, had already carefully looked at the eldest daughter.

Lin Qingqing opened her mouth and was about to answer, but at this time, she only heard a "bang", and shouted: "Mother, mother, come out quickly!" ”

Lin Qingqing walked out of the room first, and a young man wearing straw sandals on his feet and his mud-stained trousers rolled up above his knees, ran in from the outside.

The young man was in his early twenties, with a dark complexion, thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose, and some plump lips.

She looked at it a few more times and recognized the young man as her cousin Lin Biaowang.

Lin Donghai was startled by this sudden noise, walked outside the door and raised his head to see the person who came, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief, he showed a little surprise.

"Wang Zai, what's wrong with running in such a hurry?" Lin Donghai asked.

Lin Biaowang raised his hand to wipe the hot sweat on his head, glanced at Lin Qingqing, who was standing in front of the fifth uncle, and said to Lin Donghai: "Fifth uncle, my father was bitten by a snake, and now he has been sent to Uncle Yiwen's hospital, and I came back to call my mother." ”

"What?" Lin Donghai asked a little anxiously: "How could I be bitten by a snake?" What the hell is going on? ”

"I don't know, it's a poisonous snake."

"Oops! That's terrible! Lin Donghai slapped his thigh, gritted his teeth, and his whole face was tangled.

Xiao probably heard what her eldest son said, and she came out of the room, her lips trembling and about to ask again, when the door of the opposite east wing creaked open.

A tall and thin old man, dressed in a coat, came out of it, his temples were a little gray, but his body bones still looked very tough.

The old man grabbed the collar of his coat with one hand, and held a dry tobacco stick in the other. Behind him, followed by the inexplicable Xu family.

Lin Qingqing knew that the old man in front of her was her uncle Lin Moyan.

Lin Moyan kept a tight face after leaving the house, his eyes swept down Lin Qingqing, and then he glared at Lin Biaowang, who had a burning eyebrow over there, and shouted: "Then what are you doing here stupidly, hurry up and take your mother to see your father, if it's okay, hurry up and carry it home!" ”

Then Lin Qingqing's uncle, Lao Xu, took a few steps forward, "Don't be stupid, you can make it clear, what snake was bitten by your father, does it matter now?" ”

"I don't know! This is not in a hurry, come back and call my mother to take a look! "Lin Biaowang is a bit wooden, his head often can't turn, and now he doesn't know anything.

"Soldier Daddy......" Xiao suddenly howled, pulled his legs and rushed out, before he could run two steps, his body suddenly stunted, and the whole person fell straight behind him.

Lin Qingqing's expression on this side moved, and she was about to jump up from the ground to pick it up, Lin Biaowang on the side was quick with her eyes, and she helped her mother, and the silly boy reacted fast enough now.

"Third sister-in-law......" Lin Donghai shouted.

Uncle Lao Xu walked up and shook it, and Xiao came back to his senses.

"I'm going to find Daddy Bing!" Xiao Shi stared at a pair of eyes that were about to lose focus, but he still pushed his eldest son away hard, pulled his legs and rushed to the front room.

"Third uncle, what should I do now? Come up with an idea! Lin Donghai glanced at the direction where the third sister-in-law ran away, and was so anxious that he stomped his feet.

"What are you still doing? Let Xiaoxia take care of the soldiers, and the other men will go to the hospital to see the situation! ”
