Chapter 1: The Year of the Snow [4]

"Bitter!"

This is Niu Geng's first impression of tea, only to feel that he was completely deceived by the aroma of tea, and it was not as beautiful as he imagined. However, it was such a bitter tea, and after he tried it once, he actually liked to drink it. He found that the bitterness was short-lived, and after the bitterness had passed, the mouth would be sweet, with a hint of jasmine.

On this day's dinner, the fourth aunt Niu Xiaoxia came to make it, and the cultivators helped to add firewood under the stove, and the others were still relatively small, and it was a little difficult to pull the bellows, and I was very envious of the aunt's "hula, hula" to pull the bellows up, and the rhythmic "ba, da" sound was like playing allegro.

The fire under the stove was spraying thin at the bottom of the pot, and the cultivator looked warm in his heart, and the shadow of the fourth aunt was busy on the edge of the pot. In his impression, among the five aunts, he only saw the eldest aunt Niu Xiaoling, the second aunt Niu Xiaoqin, and the fourth aunt Niu Xiaoxia in front of him. I heard from the family that the third aunt Niu Xiaomin and the little aunt Niu Xiaoli both married to the south, and the third father and the little father are also in the south.

Cultivation felt that among the three aunts he had seen, the fourth aunt, Niu Xiaoxia, was the most beautiful and the easiest to get close to. She has been married to the next village for half a year, and often comes back to see the three old people, and she also has the best relationship with her mother Tian E, helping to take care of her two younger brothers. Of course, the most important thing is that most of the time when you come, you will bring delicious food or small toys to the cultivators.

"Yunyun, what's wrong with your father-in-law these two days? I don't seem to have an appetite for food, just eat a little bit. Could it be that my aunt didn't come the day before yesterday, something happened at home? Niu Xiaomin threw the cut handful of noodles into the pot, stirred it with chopsticks, sat down and added a handful of firewood, pulled the bellows and asked.

Standing on the edge of the board, he exposed half of his body, looking at the "Ding Ding Cai" in the small enamel basin, drooling. It was more than five o'clock in the afternoon, and he had eaten at eleven o'clock in the morning, and by now, he was naturally hungry. The fourth aunt Niu Xiaoxia's knife skills are very good, the carrots, potatoes, and tofu are cut into uniform size, and the fried "Ding Ding Cai" red, yellow, and white colors are closely integrated, and they are placed in the corner of the board, wafting bursts of aroma, with a faint oily light, which is very tempting for hungry people.

Besides, he has been eating the food cooked by the fourth aunt Niu Xiaoxia for several days, and he likes the delicious taste very much. Especially with the noodles with "Ding Ding Cai", an appropriate amount of salt and vinegar, plus some oil and spicy seeds, after stirring, it tastes extraordinarily fragrant.

Cultivation swallowed his saliva, and secretly thought in his heart, his father-in-law Ye Shifang had indeed been preoccupied in the past two days. Although I have not relaxed my teaching and learning, I often sigh.

"Fourth aunt, I don't know what's wrong with my father-in-law, I just remember that he went to the city the day before yesterday, and he looked a little sad when he came back. When he went to bed that night, he sighed for a while, and his grandmother asked him what was wrong? He didn't say either. In the past two days, he taught me to write and read, and occasionally sighed. Yesterday I had seen him crying, but I quickly wiped it off with a handkerchief. ”

"Didn't your father-in-law say anything to your grandfather?" Niu Xiaoxia lifted the lid of the overflowing pot, added a small bowl of cold water, and stirred the noodles in the pot.

"Fourth aunt, grandfather and father-in-law rarely talk. Dad told me before that my father-in-law and grandfather were brothers, and that my father-in-law was also my grandfather, so I would have two grandfathers. But the kids next door are all grandfathers, so I don't really understand. And since my father-in-law came, my grandfather didn't come to eat in the hall, and the meal was ready, and my father and I brought it to his room, and he ate it himself. ”

Cultivating revealed his inner incomprehension, tilted his head to look at his fourth aunt Niu Xiaoxia, and smiled, "Fourth aunt, I feel that grandpa seems to be a little afraid of my father-in-law." ”

Niu Xiaoxia tapped lightly on the cultivator's head with chopsticks, "You little guy, you are only so big, how can you think of such strange things." Don't say it's you, even my aunt, I don't know very well. Let's talk about the elders, let's not think nonsense. Especially if you are childlike, don't talk nonsense, be careful of being beaten! ”

Cultivator nodded as if he didn't understand, and watched his aunt scoop the noodles into the bowl, and the dingding vegetables and seasonings were all put away.

"This bowl is served to your grandfather first, your father-in-law and grandmother's noodles are cooked for a while, they like to eat softer."

Niu Geng went out of the kitchen door only to find that the sky had begun to darken, and he heard the roar of cars on the way into the village from a distance, he hurriedly brought the noodles to his grandfather Niu Chuanqing, and ran out to stand on the steps of the corridor courtyard to watch.

I saw a car driving on the road into the village, and the bright headlights were jumping up and down in the dark sky, getting closer and closer.

"Fourth aunt, it seems that my fourth uncle and my parents are back!"

Cultivator happily ran to the kitchen to report the news, Niu Xiaoxia walked to the door with the dishes and chopsticks to take a look, and smiled.

"Yunyun, that's your uncle's car, go to the door and have a look."

Niu Geng jumped to the gate of the courtyard, and their yard was surrounded by a low wall, leaving a gap to allow a frame car to pass loosely. This gap is equivalent to the gate of the courtyard, when the cultivator ran through the middle of the yard, the wolf dog Xiao Hei wagged his tail and rushed out of the nest, it thought that the little master was here to feed.

"Lie down!"

Cultivator stopped and shouted, the wolf dog Xiao Hei was not familiar with the fourth uncle, and every time he came back before, he kept biting "Wangwang". The wolf dog Xiao Hei seemed to understand that he would be wrong, so he snorted twice and went back to the nest.

Outside the courtyard gate of Niu Cultivator's house is a flat wheat field, and on the right hand side of the wheat field is a family, with a tall courtyard wall and a spacious street door.

Outside the gate of Yan Wenbin's house street is a long ramp of about ten meters, and the long ramp just intersects with the short ramp at the entrance of Niu Geng's house, and the two merge into the horizontal road less than half a meter away. A few dozen meters on one side of the road connects to the bridgehead, and on the other hand, it goes around the low wall of the cultivator's house and extends straight to the south of the village.

When Niu Geng walked to the short slope at the gate of the courtyard, his fourth uncle Yan Zhangfu's truck happened to drive over the Yuchi Bridge and turned around, and the dazzling light of the headlights made his eyes white. Cultivator hurriedly covered his eyes with his hands and looked out through the gap between his fingers.

Yan Zhangfu slapped the steering wheel, and the car slowly stopped on the spacious wheat field, which was only four or five meters away from his father-in-law's house. He glanced at his brother and sister-in-law, who were holding the child in the passenger seat, and grinned.

"Second brother, second sister-in-law, let's get here, you wait a minute, it's not good to get out of the car with the child, I'll go down and open the car door, pick up the child, you can get out of the car."

Seeing Yan Zhangfu jump out of the car, he came over and opened the door here, and walked a few steps closer timidly.

"Fourth uncle!"

"Oh, Yunyun, you just picked up one of your brothers and waited for your parents to get out of the car."

The cultivator hurriedly wrapped his arms and hugged the younger brother who handed Yan Zhangfu into his arms tightly.

The little guy originally fell asleep in the bumps in the car, but at this moment he was sent down from the mother in the car, and then handed over to the cultivator's arms.

"Dodo...... Dodo! ”

Niu Geng knew that this was the second brother Niu Gengyu, who was more than a year old, and his voice was "Dodo", and the third brother Niu Gengmu called his brother's voice "pot pot".

Niu ploughing reads "Dodo...... Dodo" screamed, and the cultivator kissed him on the cheek.

"It's my brother, it's not Dodo, I've grown up for almost twenty days, why can't I call my brother?"

Mother Tian E got out of the car first, seemed to have some motion sickness all the way, first squatted on the edge of the wheat field to slow down, as if she was about to vomit, and vomited for a while, but there was no sign of vomiting.

Father Niu Yonghou also got out of the car and took over the cattle farming from the fourth uncle.

"Second brother, you and your second sister-in-law take the children in first, salute or something, I'll take it."

Niu Yonghou nodded, he saw that Niu Gengmu was sleeping soundly, tossing up and down like this, and he hadn't woken up yet. He held his son horizontally in his arms and looked at his wife Tian E with concern.

"How's it going? Isn't it still uncomfortable? ”

Tian E slowly stood up and let out a long breath.

"It's okay this time, it's not dizzy, it's just that I want to vomit but I can't vomit, it's a little uncomfortable."

Niu Yonghou grinned "hehe", "Zhang Fu's car is relatively tall, and there is no smell of diesel in the car, and you sit on the edge of the window again, and the window is open, it will naturally be better." Unlike me, who was not a person who did not get motion sickness, sitting in the middle, swaying from side to side along the way, and stepping on the flat ground this time, how could I feel a little dizzy. ”

Tian E sneered, "You're not motion sickness, you're shaking your head, just get out of the car and slow down for a while." Let's go home quickly, Dad, Mom, and Uncle are all waiting at home. ”

Niu Geng hugged his younger brother and walked to the short slope at the entrance of the courtyard, his strength was still small, and he was already a little struggling, who knew that Niu Geng read and shouted "Dodo" at the same time, and the two hands moved back and forth, making him very difficult.

"Mom, hurry up! My brother was always moving, I couldn't hold it anymore, and I was about to slip down. ”

Tian E hurriedly came over and took the cow from the cultivator's arms, and asked with a smile as she walked into the yard.

"Yunyun, have you eaten?"

Niu Geng breathed a sigh of relief and pointed in the direction of the kitchen.

"I haven't eaten it yet, my fourth aunt has already made it in the kitchen, and my grandfather is already eating the noodles, and my father-in-law and grandmother are also eating it immediately." Before the words of cultivation fell, Niu Chuanqing opened the curtain and walked out with an empty bowl.

"Dad!"

Niu Yonghou and Tian E shouted almost at the same time.

"Oh! It's Yonghou and Tian'e who are back, so I'll just say how can anyone talk outside. ”

Niu Gengyun listened to what they were saying, and hurriedly walked over to take the bowl from his grandfather, only to see Niu Chuanqing's chopsticks in the bowl and clicked, "Tell your aunt, I'm full, don't need noodles, just scoop some noodle soup." Don't have too much noodle soup, just get to this location! ”

Cultivator walked to the kitchen with a bowl, and saw that the fourth aunt, Niu Xiaoxia, also walked out of the kitchen with two bowls of prepared noodles.
