Chapter 18: Crabs

By the time Lin Yuan appeared in Hesheng Hall with Lin Hefang in his arms, two months had passed. The little man in his arms also became very different from when they first met. Dressed in coarse cloth clothes, a gray cloth towel on his head wrapped his dry yellow hair, combed into a child's bun, a pair of tender hands tightly wrapped around Lin Yuan's neck, his eyes were timid, and he looked like he was not approachable.

"Uncle Li, this kid seems to have no memory, and his temperament has changed." Lin Yuan saw Lao Li as if he had seen a savior, and seeing that there were not many people today, he was busy holding the child and showing it to the doctor sitting in the hall.

Dr. Li took the child, rolled his eyes and tongue to check, and took the pulse carefully, frowning for a long time without speaking.

"Uncle Li, how is it?" Lin Yuan didn't think it was good when he looked at Doctor Li.

"It should be the amnesia caused by high fever and convulsions, and I can only prescribe some medicinal materials that strengthen the foundation of Peiyuan. As for whether he can remember it in the future, it's up to him," Dr. Li made a judgment after careful consideration.

"What are you going to do with this kid?" Dr. Li couldn't help but ask again.

"I stayed, and I have entered the family tree and registered my family. Give him a home! Lin Yuan is very open-minded, it's a big deal to take two more jobs to support him.

"Alas, you are a kind-hearted man. It is his blessing to follow you. Lao Li touched Lin Hefang's head, when this child was sent, he was still full of anger despite his eyes closed, and his teeth were tightly clenched, which really made him remember deeply.

Lin Yuan hugged his cheap son and gave the consultation fee, "Haha, who let him get into my family's donkey cart!" I'll go first, and I'll invite you to drink two more another day. ”

Dr. Li sent them out of the door, touched his beard and looked at their figures, nodded and smiled, everything has its own certainty.

"How?" Wen Wan stood at the door and waited, and when she saw Lin Yuan rushing to the car, she stopped in front of her and asked.

"I said that I had a high fever that burned out my brain, and I don't remember the past. This child is destined for us, so let's raise it first, right? Lin Yuan looked at his wife and wanted her to nod.

"Your household registration is all on the list, and the family tree is also on the line, what else can I say? What's more, he keeps calling me mother, so let's be a brother of Yuanbao. Wen Wan lifted the carriage and picked up Baba to look at her little man.

Although this child has few words, his eyes are really bright, and he knows who is really in charge of this family. Since I woke up, I held on to the gentleness tightly, and the glutinous voice of A-Niang called straight into the hearts of the people.

"I'm not going in, I have to rush back to town, there's no shortage of people." Lin Yuan led the donkey, turned his head and jumped into the donkey cart, Wen Wan waited until he couldn't see anyone before carrying the child into the house.

The ingots in the house were gnawing on the steamed crabs happily, with a pile of tall crab shells in front of him, holding the crab legs in his hands and skillfully biting off the two ends, and a complete crab leg meat was sucked into his mouth.

Wen Wan walked over and slapped her, "Eat it again!" I ate too much in the first two days and had a stomach problem, so you should remember to eat or not. ”

The crab was given by the county magistrate's brother-in-law. Because this person is good friends with Hong Chuan, Lin Yuan often builds a shop for him, and he is also familiar with him. Only then did Lin Yuan move a basket of crabs for him to take home to taste. Because it is a rare thing that Qingzhou City pays tribute to the palace every year, their family has only tasted the light of the county master.

Who knows that since they were taught to eat crabs, the two fathers and sons have been a little unable to stop, and the little person in the ingots can kill three in one meal, and they can add another bowl of rice. No, this morning, I was grinding Wen Wan to eat crabs. Wen Wan's least favorite thing to do is crabs, this thing is very troublesome.

You have to wash and scrub it first, and you have to tie the crab legs tightly with hemp grass, and then add green onions, ginger and garlic to steam in a pot across the water, and your fingers are easily pinched in this process. But the steamed crabs in this way are all bearded and full feet, red shells and red paste, beautiful and delicious.

The crab itself is fresh enough, so it can only be fishy, and adding any ingredients will only add to the snake, so Lin Qiniang only mixes a bowl of sweet and sour sauce and puts it on the table for them to dip and eat. There are only twenty crabs in a basket, and the father and son love to eat, so Wen Wan is reluctant to give them away, and she is reluctant to eat them.

Two days ago, I tried to steam eight for the first time, and today the ingots were wrapped tightly and gentlely, and the rest were all steamed, and at noon I took two ingots to satisfy my hunger, and the rest were all kept for the evening to eat. Lin Hefang in Wen Wan's arms is easy to feed, what to eat, let him eat as much as he wants.

Lin Yuan came out of the dark night and entered the house, and with a gentle cheer, he urged Qi Niang to start eating, he had been waiting at the door for half an hour.

Lin Yuan took a shower in the courtyard three times and two times, went back to the room to change clothes, and hurriedly drilled into the kitchen, and when he saw a large plate of red crabs in the stove, he hurriedly grabbed the outside.

Yuan Bao smelled the crab fragrance all the way from the kitchen to his father and made trouble all the way to the main hall. Lin Hefang sat at the dinner table very calmly, not even moving his eyebrows, anyway, his mother would send them one by one.

Sure enough, after Wen Wan finished serving the dish, she ignored the sound of swallowing saliva and began to send crabs unhurriedly. Yuanbao had eaten during the day, so there were only two, Lin Hefang four, and Xu Yuan four.

Lin and Fang slowly took his crab and put it in front of Wen Wan to look at her, Wen Wan put down the chopsticks that picked up the vegetables and resigned herself to peeling it for him. I don't know who taught him, he doesn't touch anything that will stain him, like an old old man with a heavy cleanliness habit.

The two men on the opposite side, one big and one small, had already held the crabs gnawing on their faces and hands full of oil, and one foot was still in the same posture on the stool next to them, and the sound of chirping was endless, and the crab shells in front of the two were also piled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Yuanbao took the time to bite the crab and slammed it to the opposite side, "Shame face, I want my mother to feed!" ”

Lin and Fang Wo ate happily in Wen Wan's arms, and didn't even give him a look. But Wen Wan couldn't hold back, "Eat you well, he's not in good health." ”

"Give him a nickname, won't you? How about Iron Eggs? He turned around again to ask Lin Yuan's opinion.

Lin Yuan took the time to chew the crab meat and looked up, "Iron eggs? Wouldn't it be better to call it a donkey's egg?"

Wen Wan and happily responded with "Okay, good, good." ”

"It's called Ah Xian." Lin Yuan made the final decision.

Wen Wan didn't feel anything, and continued to fight with the crab, "Ah Xian, just Ah Xian, just be famous." ”

The person who sat in her arms and had a little name didn't feel anything, so he slowly peeled out a whole crab meat that belonged to him and handed it to Wen Wan's mouth. The meaning is obvious: give her food. Wen Wan was a little surprised, this child still knew how to take care of her.

"You eat it yourself." Wen Wan refused, but he pursed his lips and looked at her stubbornly.

Wen Wan couldn't help him, so he had to open his mouth to answer, she had already told them that she didn't like to eat crabs, and she was used to thinking about herself after taking care of the size of the family, but this child was so stubborn that it made people feel distressed.

Yuan Bao was depressed, poked the chopsticks indignantly, and flattered the villain, which was really annoying!

After eating, Wen Wan took the bowl to the stove to wash, Ah Xian followed her like a little tail, and from time to time helped Wen Wan roll up her sleeves and hand over a plate, so well-behaved that she didn't look like a boy.

Wen Wan turned around and rushed to him, "Go to the house and rest, you don't need you here." ”

Ah Xian sat on a low stool with his chin and shook his head, "Accompany my mother." ”

This child can always make people's hearts warm, and when Wen Wan washes the dishes, Ah Xian has already nodded and dozed off. She bent down to pick her up, and the little man hooked her neck, "Mother? ”

Wen Wan smiled and kissed his little forehead, "Well, my mother is here." ”
