Two thatched huts, a few acres of medicinal fields, such a quiet and elegant life, it is really like a person who has left the world.

In fact, there is nothing worth writing about in the thatched hut, the largest one outside, it is a kitchen and a living room, and there are also some pickled food, such as bacon, sauerkraut and other things, and then go inside, it is a small cubicle where the old man sleeps, which also stores some processed medicinal materials, which are piled up and stored in it, and opposite, is the girl's own room, without him, that is, a bed, even the ordinary people in the city are not as good.

Even if there are only two people left in the family now, but the rules cannot be broken, the girl is very well-behaved, she still respectfully served a bowl of rice to the old man first, and then carefully dug out the remaining white rice from the hot bamboo tube for herself.

Looking at the big bowl full of Dengden in front of the girl, the old man has been watching it for more than ten years, even if he has long been used to it, he is still a little puzzled.

It's really a miracle that her granddaughter can eat like this, she can't eat fat, and she is still so slim.

Maybe this girl used all kinds of herbs as pickles when she was a child, and she ate too much.

The tempting smell of meat wafted in the pot, and the girl quickly lifted the lid on it, and after the water vapor dissipated, she carefully grabbed out a small plate with two layers of bacon and winter bamboo shoots with her homemade bamboo tongs, held it with her other hand, and trotted all the way to the dining table.

If she accidentally dropped it to the ground on the way, I am afraid that she will be distressed for a month.

The fish in the pot had to simmer slowly for a while, and the girl began to take out the cornmeal that she had reconciled before, kneaded it into a small ball with her hands, pressed it into a cake shape with a rolling pin, dipped it in water, and began to stick it to the edge of the iron pot in turn.

When the fish stew in the pot is cooked thoroughly, the tortillas on the edge of the pot should be cooked.

The lid was closed again, and the girl happily trotted all the way up, sat back on the bamboo stool before, grabbed the chopsticks with both hands, and bowed sincerely to the sky three times, and then finally began to eat.

This is a habit that she started very early on, and has continued to this day, according to which ancient book she doesn't know, this is to thank God, after all, there are gods on the head, and I always hope that the gods can bless it.

A piece of salty and fragrant, and with a smell of bamboo shoots fragrant meat slices were carefully picked up by her, the girl just wanted to enter, but looked up at the plate on the table, the bacon in it is actually not much, only four pieces, the moment quickly used chopsticks to cut open the rice bowl, this piece of bacon buried deep into the bottom of the bowl, with rice firmly covered, then satisfied began to pick up the tender yellow bamboo shoots soaked in the aroma of meat and began to eat.

Bacon is eaten a little less, but this kind of bamboo shoots in the mountains is not difficult to dig, and one is pork bought with real money, and the other is dug from the mountains for nothing, according to the girl's thoughts, of course, it should be eaten for nothing first.

"Hmm!"

The girl took a bite, and even her eyes narrowed comfortably, and her mouth made a satisfied chirp, like a well-fed pig.

The old man, who had been wandering outside in his early years, couldn't help but pull his mouth, isn't his heart just an ordinary piece of bamboo shoots, as for it?

He knew what his granddaughter's previous actions meant, there was less bacon, and he was definitely reluctant to eat more, so he buried it at the bottom of the bowl first, one was to soak the rice above into a meaty aroma, which was more delicious, and the other was to suddenly eat a whole piece of bacon at the end of the meal, this feeling of satisfaction and surprise must be more than the first bite to eat, even if this is actually buried in her own first.

Poor people, life is unsatisfactory enough, always learn to add some joy to life to yourself.

The old man was a little sad when he saw it, and the bacon that was originally fragrant was in his mouth, and he couldn't taste it in an instant.

"Grandpa, you eat. When the girl saw this, she couldn't help but say anything, so she put all the rest of the bacon into the old man's bowl, and began to eat with bamboo shoots.

"If a girl comes from a family, she must have a good appearance, so that she won't be nagged by her mother-in-law every day when she marries into her husband's family in the future, which is not good. The old man didn't want to show his fragile side in front of his granddaughter, so he quickly diverted the topic, and he really hoped that his poor granddaughter could quickly find a suitable family to marry, and it would be better than living a hard life in the mountains with him.

When the girl heard this, her brows immediately furrowed, as if a beautiful landscape splashed ink painting, a trace of wrinkles suddenly appeared, which made people feel a little distressed when they looked at it.

"I don't want to, I want to stay with my grandfather all the time. ”

The old man could only sigh helplessly and did not continue.

My family is too poor, I can't afford the dowry at all, if I really want to get married, I will be angry, even if my granddaughter is diligent, even if she looks and figure is good, but in this simple and conservative country, the status of foreign daughters-in-law in the in-law's family is all based on the amount of dowry, especially those big families, even if you are beautiful, no matter how good your figure is, and then you can do things, you are not the right person, you can only be an ordinary concubine, and even some people can't even get an official name, depressed and old, this kind of person is not a few, rather than such a result, it is better not to marry at the beginning。

The old man himself is only bound by secular concepts, men should marry women when they marry, this sentence is passed down from generation to generation by the ancestors, the old man listened to his parents when he was a child, and when he grew up, he said the same thing to his children, and then to this day, he said it to his granddaughter, but the old man himself also understands that if he is not well married, it is better to live a free life in this mountain, even if it is hard, it is better than being a lifelong gas bag, punching bag, isn't it?

Eating the dishes carefully cooked by his granddaughter on the table, the old man thought to himself, this is not bad.

At this time, the smell of fish wafting from the other side, the girl slapped her forehead and immediately laughed happily.

"The fish is good!"

As he spoke, he quickly got up and ran towards the stove.

After first finding a small wooden basin and washing it with the spring water that had been brought up, the girl began to scoop the fish soup from the pot spoonful by spoonful, and after finally getting out of the pot the chopped tofu and the grass carp that had been boiled soft but not completely deformed, she reached out and took off the fragrant corncakes all around, covered the bowl full of fish soup, and finally sprinkled green onions and coriander, and served them on the table together.

The old man sniffed it vigorously, and suddenly his index finger moved, and he praised: "It's still my granddaughter who can cook!"

This one is the grass carp he fished up from the river, not big or small, anyway, it is more than enough to cook a dinner for the grandfather and grandson, and it is rare to burn it so well today, and add tofu, the old man is not polite at the moment, so he quickly took off a large piece with chopsticks and bit it in his mouth.

"Hey!"

The girl herself couldn't help but quickly picked up a piece of tender tofu full of soup, bit it in her mouth, snorted twice, and swallowed it after it was a little cold, and immediately showed a satisfied expression.

The grandfather and grandson looked at each other and smiled, and they were ready to start enjoying today's dinner.

However, at this moment, the curtain of the door of the inner room was suddenly lifted by a calloused hand, and a man with a lot of white gauze wrapped around his head came out of it, leaning against the door frame, looking very weak.

When the old man saw this, his expression suddenly tightened, and he quickly stood up, but the girl's face was full of joy and shouted directly.

"You're awake!"

The man who came out of the back room, judging from the appearance alone, should not be more than twenty years old, but between the eyebrows and eyes, there is no childishness, the left half of the head, wrapped in a thick layer of gauze, up and down, are full of strong medicinal fragrance, shoulders, arms, chest and abdomen, etc., are also wrapped in gauze, there is a faint little blood oozing, he leaned against the door frame, the right eye that was not wrapped in gauze looked at the food on the table, and his face was longing.

The girl walked over defenselessly with her hands behind her back, ignoring her grandfather's soft drink behind her, and said with a smile.

"I'm hungry. ”

The man gave her a confused look and nodded slightly.

The girl suddenly laughed and said, "Then let's eat." ”

Like a lively and lovely lark, she turned around and floated to the table, and then smiled at her grandfather: "Looks like I'm going to have a meal today!"
