Chapter 35: Delicious
She had to get the water back quickly, and she had to boil breakfast in the pot before Aunt Li got up.
During the days when she lived at Aunt Li's house, she would try her best to take over all the housework so that Aunt Li could have a good rest.
He poured the water from the bucket into the barrel at his feet, and only half of the bucket was filled.
She threw the bucket into the well again, and when she heard a thud, she began to shake the wheel.
Just then, there was a sound of footsteps coming towards the well.
As soon as Ye Chengcheng turned his head, he saw a young woman in her early twenties, also carrying a large wooden barrel in her direction.
The young woman was dressed in old garments, which were patched on her garments, and they were washed a little white.
The young woman's face is a duck egg face, with beautiful facial features, and under the slender willow eyebrows, there are a pair of watery apricot eyes.
What made her take a closer look was that the young woman's clothes were very old, but there were two silver hairpins on her head.
"Sister-in-law, are you here to fetch water too?"
I don't know who this young woman is and if it has anything to do with her, Ye Tingcheng shouted out the title that people usually shout.
"Yes, I'm running out of water at home, I'm going to fetch water."
The young woman smiled, her face surprised to see a stranger, and the rest was kind.
"Sister, did you just come back to Xiaoqing Village?"
"yes, I just came back yesterday." Ye Chengcheng poured the water in the bucket into the wooden bucket, gave the place in front of the well to the young woman, and threw the bucket into the well by the way.
"Sister-in-law, I've made a good water, please."
"Oh, girl, don't be so polite to me. I said I've never seen you, but you're so diligent. ”
It can be seen that this young woman is also a cool person, not only is she not alienated from Ye Tingcheng, but on the contrary, she is chatting with her enthusiastically.
"Sister-in-law, you are also very diligent. I'm just used to waking up early, and I'm not very diligent. ”
Ye Chengcheng didn't walk away immediately, and their family always had to integrate into this small green village.
And the young woman is a neighbor nearby, who wants to blow her beard and stare at her eyes if she can get along in harmony.
Besides, it is said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and if there is something to ask for, it is better to open up to others.
"Sister, who are you from in our village?"
The young woman's barrel is larger than Ye Chengcheng's, two buckets are not enough, it seems that three buckets are needed.
"My grandfather is Liu Dazhuo." Ye Tingcheng pointed to the dilapidated courtyard and said to the young woman.
"It turned out to be the daughter-in-law of the sixth grandfather's family." After listening to her words, the young woman couldn't help but look at it carefully up and down a few more times, and then she laughed again.
"Someone from the sixth grandfather's family has finally returned, and it is in vain that the sixth grandfather and the sixth grandmother have been looking forward to it for so many years. Hey, by the way, girl, do you have a place to live? The house of the sixth grandfather's house is now uninhabitable. ”
"There is a place to live, and our family lives at Grandma Li's house."
Xiaoqing Village is really a place with simple folk customs, and it is also kind if you don't see a random person.
Seeing this, Ye Chengcheng was full of confidence in living in Xiaoqing Village and integrating into it as soon as possible.
Their family of three is not the one who loves to make trouble, and when they need to recuperate the most, it is really the right way out to come to Xiaoqing Village, which is full of goodwill.
"It turns out that you went to live with Grandma Li, that's just right, Grandma Li's house is the closest to your house."
The young woman filled the water and did not leave at once, but pointed to her in the third row behind.
"Well, my house is over there, there is a jujube tree in front of the second house, and the one with loofah seedlings on the wall is the one. When you have time and convenience, go to my house to play. You have everything at home, you just have to come empty-handed. ”
"Okay, I'll go then." Picking up the wooden barrel, Ye Tingcheng said goodbye to the young woman, and entered Aunt Li's house with brisk steps.
But the young woman stood still and looked at her back for a long time, and then walked towards her house with the barrel.
"Grandma Li, you're up, you're up so early."
As soon as I entered the door, I saw that in the yard, Aunt Li, who was washing fairy vegetables, was about to sprinkle the vegetable washing water under the jujube tree.
"It's not early, it's late. Normally, I have to get up a little earlier. ”
Aunt Li walked over with a smile and watched her pour water into the water tank: "It's enough, you don't have to pick up so much water to come back." ”
"I'll pick another bucket of water, I'm not tired at all, really." Ye Qingcheng did not put down the wooden bucket, but went on to pick up the second bucket of water.
"Slow down, don't rush, I'll just make breakfast." Aunt Li shouted behind her, and she waved her hand to signal that she knew.
When she picked up the second bucket of water, the water in the kitchen was about to boil, and Aunt Li was adding two noodles to the chopped fairy vegetables, adding warm water to reconcile, and then holding them into vegetable balls with her hands.
"Grandma Li, what should I do?" Ye Chengcheng put down the barrel and rushed to the bottom of the wing.
"Allure, you wrap the vegetable dumplings with these leaves, and use one leaf for each vegetable dumpling." Aunt Li grabbed a handful of fan-like round leaves from the basin at her feet and handed it over.
"Later, I'll give you steamed vegetable dumplings to eat. Let's steam this fairy vegetable casually, it's also delicious. ”
Holding the big round leaves in his hand, Ye Tingcheng couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and then he started to wrap the vegetable dumplings.
These leaves are obviously not lotus leaves, at first glance they look like plantain leaves, and they are a little soft and tough to the touch.
The vegetable dumplings made by Aunt Li are not big or small, just one leaf and one vegetable ball, which can be wrapped tightly and will not reveal the filling.
She checked it while packing. found that Aunt Li didn't make many vegetable dumplings, and the number was almost the total amount of food for several people yesterday.
There will be no less, there may be leftovers. However, there will not be too many, at most three or five like this.
"Fairy vegetables are everywhere, you can eat them whenever you want. Even though it tastes good both new and leftover, I still think it's delicious. ”
Aunt Li put the wrapped vegetable dumplings into the pot and grabbed the remaining vegetable dumplings.
"Grandma Li, I think it's great to be back in Xiaoqing Village." Ye Tingcheng was also helping by the side, and by the way, he cut the radish that Aunt Li had washed.
On the board, it was Grandma Li who had cut about a finger square of pork, and it seemed that it was about a pound and a half.
There is also peeled garlic on the side, as well as green onion and ginger that has been cut and sliced.
"Grandma Li, in the third row behind our house, who is the second house from the innermost?"
Heat the pot next to it, put a few slices of pure fat in it, and while waiting for the oil to come out, Ye Tingcheng asked.
"Oh, you said that. Speaking of the relationship between her family, it is not far from the family of the six masters, and it is closer than our family. The old grandfather of their family is cousins with the father of the sixth grandfather. ”
