Chapter 17: Laba Congee

After Tang Zhi'an arrived at the mountain, while chopping wood, he was thinking about why Lin Qiu'er was angry.

Lin Qiu'er sulked at home for a while, and suddenly remembered, didn't Tang Zhi'an hurt his arm?

Now that he is going to the mountains to chop wood, will the wound be serious again? So she hurriedly went to the mountains to find Tang Zhi'an.

When she arrived at the mountain and saw Tang Zhi'an chopping wood, she hurriedly spoke, "If your arm is injured, you should pay attention to rest, you can't use force, right?" ”

Tang Zhi'an saw that Lin Qiu'er was willing to pay attention to himself again, he was very happy, and hurriedly said: "It's okay, my wound is a minor problem, don't worry!" ”

Lin Qiu'er didn't believe it, "Don't talk nonsense, this must be raised before you can work, you hurry back with me." ”

When Tang Zhian heard her say this, he nodded, and was about to carry the firewood on the ground, but Lin Qiu'er took the first step to carry it, "I'll just carry this firewood." ”

Tang Zhian didn't want to agree, but Lin Qiu'er had already turned around and went back, "Okay, let's go back quickly!" ”

Tang Zhi'an followed her with an axe and hurried back, and after arriving at home, Lin Qiu'er hurriedly checked his injuries first and found that there was no problem.

"You must be careful in the future, especially the wounds on your body, you must not work when they are not healed, you know?"

Tang Zhi'an heard Lin Qiu'er's concern for him, smiled in his heart, and said, "Okay, I will definitely remember your words." ”

Lin Qiu'er nodded, the contradiction between the two was solved so inexplicably, and Tang Zhian didn't know what he did wrong during the whole process.

Li Qiu'er looked at him and said, "Your second sister-in-law came to the house today, and she said that you should send the offering money over quickly." ”

Tang Zhian stiffened for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I know, you don't have to worry about this matter." ”

Li Qiu'er actually had something to say, but after thinking about her identity, she closed her mouth and stopped talking.

She felt that Tang Zhian should not give this money, but this could not be said in her identity now, so she could only sigh.

Tang Zhian took five taels of silver, walked towards the village, and arrived at the door of a house. ”

Tang Zhi'an was used to him like this, so he threw the silver towards the man.

The man quickly picked up the silver, "Alright, let's get out of here!" Don't bring bad luck to our house. ”

After speaking, he hurriedly closed the door of his house, Tang Zhian glanced at the door, this was his relatives, but they were like strangers to him.

He turned around and went back, and there was no need for him to care about the people in his family.

Lin Qiu'er was waiting for him at home, knowing that he was going to deliver silver to the Tang family.

When he came back, seeing that his face was not good-looking, Lin Qiu'er's heart was a little uncomfortable, and the damage to his relatives was often the most severe, many times more serious than other people.

After entering the wax moon, winter is completely coming, and the snow is also coming, fortunately, it was prepared in advance, so after the snow fell, Lin Qiu'er took out all the clothes he had made and put them on for Tang Zhi'an.

In the past, Tang Zhian spent the winter wearing thin clothes, but this year he also wore a padded jacket, and he felt that he was not only warm on his body, but also warmer in his heart.

Because it was snowing, they couldn't do anything, they could only be at home, Lin Qiu'er began to embroider, and she took back one of the previous large pieces, which was slowly embroidered in preparation for winter.

Tang Zhian cleaned up his hunting things, and then knitted things at home, carrying baskets and baskets.

Lin Qiu'er was embroidering in the hall, Tang Zhi'an was weaving these things on the side, and the two of them didn't speak, but the atmosphere was very good.

It was snowing outside, Lin Qiu'er sat quietly embroidering, and soon her hands and feet were cold, she stomped her feet a few times and continued to embroider.

After a while, she felt that there was no temperature in her body, and quickly stood up and walked around, hoping to warm up.

Tang Zhian looked at her, "Are you cold?" ”

Lin Qiu'er nodded, "Well, this weather is really cold, we have to prepare some carbon, if we cook in the future, we will prepare a crockpot to suffocate the unburned firewood, so it is relatively simple carbon." ”

Tang Zhian thought for a while and said, "Okay, I know, otherwise go out and buy some carbon!" ”

Lin Qiu'er shook her head, "No need, that carbon is so expensive." ”

Tang Zhian opened his mouth and said: "It's okay, I don't need much, just buy some for you to use." ”

Lin Qiu'er was a little surprised when she heard him say this, this man was really good to herself.

"Forget it, don't buy it, I can wear more."

Tang Zhian saw that she didn't agree, so he didn't speak, but decided that if he went to town next time, he could buy it himself.

The snow continued to fall, and when Laba stopped on this day, since it was Laba Festival, it was natural to eat Laba porridge.

The day before, Lin Qiu'er soaked the red beans, soybeans, and peanuts, and when she got up the next morning, she began to boil the porridge.

After the white rice and millet are boiled, add red beans, soybeans, peanuts, and walnut kernels, and finally add a little brown sugar, and the laba porridge is boiled.

It's not ripe yet, the yard is full of sweet smells, Tang Zhi'an smelled this smell in the yard, and his heart sighed for a while.

For so many years, he has never had a festival every year, when he was young, his family was poor, his grandparents supported him, and he was reluctant to spend money at all.

Now the taste of this laba porridge makes him feel that it is really good to have a home.

Lin Qiu'er made Laba porridge, and hurriedly shouted, "Tang Zhi'an, hurry up and come in and drink porridge." ”

Tang Zhian agreed, came in, and picked up his rice bowl.

Lin Qiu'er also took her own and went out with him, while the two of them walked, Lin Qiu'er said: "Wait a while, after you finish eating, you will go to send a bowl of laba porridge to Dr. Zhang's house, do you know?" ”

Tang Zhi'an paused for a moment and said, "Okay." ”

There is such a custom, close people will give each other Laba porridge, no one has ever given it to him before, and he has never given it to others.

This year, I did it at home, and I just sent some to others, this is what Lin Qiuer explained, and he will definitely do it.

Tang Zhian took a sip of porridge, it was really delicious, "Miss Lin, your craftsmanship is really speechless, it's so delicious." ”

Hearing his compliment, Lin Qiu'er smiled, "If it's delicious, you can drink more, anyway, I cook more." ”

Tang Zhi'an nodded, and after drinking, he hurriedly went to the kitchen to deliver the laba porridge prepared by Lin Qiu'er to Dr. Zhang's house.

Dr. Zhang's family didn't expect that Tang Zhi'an would actually send Laba porridge to his family, they were all a little stunned, and finally Ye Lan said: "Okay, let's accept it, you can also bring some of the I made back to Qiu'er to taste!" “
