Chapter 43: Eat and Take
At noon, Lin Changsheng really came back with a hoe.
He was also very happy to see Du Yunyan and Du Yunnuan coming, and he was about to buy meat immediately, and after learning that his mother had bought meat and sent it over, he hurriedly said, "Then do you want to add any dishes?" ”
"Yan'er, they brought a lot of acacia flowers, and it just so happened that the thin noodles we bought last time haven't finished eating, so they took them out and steamed them to eat, they just came for the acacia flowers, and they didn't need to add other dishes."
"Is that enough to eat? It's not enough, I'll go to the locust tree not far from our house and pick up a handful of locust flowers. ”
Du Yunyan hurriedly said, "Brother-in-law, don't be busy, we brought four baskets over, and after eating later, we will pick some and bring them home to my mother and grandmother." ”
Lin Changsheng said when he heard it, "Cheng, my brother-in-law will take you to pick it later, pick a little more and bring it back, and give it to my mother-in-law and grandmother to taste it, we don't have any good things here, and when the pears haven't arrived, the acacia flowers are still fresh at this time." ”
"Pears?" Du Yunnuan said curiously.
Lin Changsheng explained to Du Yunnuan, "Little sister, how did you get the name Lixia Village?" In fact, it means the meaning of the village under the pear tree, you have a large peach forest in Taoyuan Village, and we also have a pear forest in Lixia Village. ”
"But our pears are not as easy to sell as your peaches, the pears in our village have green and black skins, although the pears inside are very delicious, but the skin is very thick, it is not convenient to eat, the merchants charge low prices, sometimes we are not happy to sell, we will store them in our own cellars, and when the guests come, we will take them out and serve them."
As he spoke, Lin Changsheng suddenly remembered something, "Juan'er, I remember that the pears in our cellar were gone last time, you said that you wanted to ask the second uncle's family for some, but did you want it?" ”
Du Yunjuan poked her head out of the kitchen, "Come on, I forgot if you don't say it, I didn't think about it when I was happy just now, you go to the cellar and get pears out for them to eat." ”
Lin Changsheng immediately tossed and went to the cellar to get pears.
In the face of such an enthusiastic brother-in-law, Du Yunnuan was a little unaccustomed to it, but Du Yunyan was accustomed to it, and even Li Jiang and Miao He had no special reaction.
Du Yunnuan knew that he had reacted too much, so he tried his best to get used to such enthusiasm and such a family member.
Soon Lin Changsheng came over with a few pears in his clothes, he didn't let the two little girls bite them directly, but went to get a kitchen knife and carefully peeled the pears before handing them to them.
Du Yunnuan saw that she couldn't hold this pear with both hands, but after being peeled, she directly peeled off a thick layer, and then she understood what Lin Changsheng meant when he said that the skin was too thick, this skin is really not ordinarily thick, no wonder it can be stored for so long.
The peeled pear flesh looked at Bai Shengsheng, Du Yunnuan took a bite, and after putting it in the cellar for so long, the pears were still very watery, and they were quite sweet, this sweet and sour taste was very wonderful, and he nodded again and again, "Big brother-in-law, the pears are delicious!" ”
Lin Changsheng saw that Du Yunnuan liked it, and the children next to him couldn't stop eating, so he was immediately happy, "When I leave later, I'll pack a few more for you and take them home to eat." ”
"Thank you, brother-in-law."
At noon, although there was a plate of meat on the table, several children's chopsticks invariably stretched out to the pot of locust flowers.
Du Yunnuan was small, and sat with Lin Yu and Lin Xi, and waited for Du Yunjuan to clinch a big chopsticks for her.
After washing and drying, the acacia flowers are sprinkled with flour and steamed, the garlic seeds are chopped, mixed with salt, and then a few drops of sesame oil are dropped, the acacia flowers are eaten in the mouth, fragrant and sweet, dipped in the prepared sauce, and very refreshing.
Du Yunnuan ate this thing for the first time, it was very novel, and she ate several bites in a row, until Du Yunjuan scooped a spoonful of cold locust rice on the side and gave it to her, she tasted the cold locust rice again, and her eyes widened in surprise.
"Sister, it's delicious."
Seeing Du Yunnuan's expression, Du Yunjuan couldn't help but smile, "Eat more if it's delicious." ”
Lin Changsheng saw that Du Yunnuan was eating the locust flower vigorously, so he took a piece of meat and put it in her bowl, "Little sister, don't eat the locust flower, eat some meat too." ”
"Thank you, brother-in-law!"
There were not a lot of acacia flowers brought by the four of them, but the meal was still eaten cleanly, not only the four big children, but even Lin Yu and Lin Xi couldn't put down the chopsticks.
Such a fragrant and sweet thing is indeed a rare fresh dish.
After eating and resting for a while, Lin Changsheng took Du Yunyan and them to pick locust flowers from the locust tree not far away.
Du Yunnuan is still the one waiting under the tree, such as Du Yunyan, they have all gone to the tree.
Lin Yu took his younger brother Lin Xi and stood beside Du Yunnuan, "Why doesn't my aunt go up the tree?" ”
Du Yunnuan smiled embarrassedly, "Because I can't climb trees." ”
"Daddy said that girls shouldn't climb trees, but why does the fifth aunt climb trees?"
For this question, Du Yunnuan didn't know how to answer Lin Yu, but she felt that girls didn't have to be restricted from climbing trees, so she whispered at the moment, "Xiao Yu, if you think you can learn to climb trees, you can naturally climb them, but pay attention to safety." ”
"It hurts to fall off a tree."
Lin Yu nodded hurriedly, "Auntie, I know." ”
After picking the acacia flowers, Du Yunyan took Du Yunnuan and a few people to Du Yunjuan to leave, "Sister, we still have to go home, it's too late to go back, my mother and grandmother have to talk about me." ”
Du Yunjuan didn't want them to leave too late, they were still a few children, and they would inevitably play for a while on the road, if they were late, they would still be in the mountains when it was almost dark, and she would not be at ease.
Lin Changsheng took several pears and put them in Du Yunnuan's back basket, and checked them, "Little sister, maybe you can carry it?" If you can't carry it, I'll ask your fifth sister to help you carry a few? ”
The acacia flower is a very light thing, just a few pears, Du Yunnuan is not so bad that he can't carry it, so he hurriedly jumped on the spot twice, "Big brother-in-law, I can carry it, there are already a lot of things in the fifth sister's back basket!" ”
Du Yunyan's back basket is not only much larger than Du Yunnuan's back basket, but also under her back basket is Du Yunjuan's things that Du Yunjuan brought to her mother's family.
Before, Wu sent her a brand new piece of fabric, so that she could make clothes for the child to wear, she couldn't just take her mother's things, so she also prepared some things for Du Yunyan to help bring to her mother.
However, Du Yunyan had a lot of strength, and immediately said, "It's okay, if the little sister can't carry it, give it to me, I can carry it." ”
Lin Changsheng and Du Yunjuan sent a few people to the entrance of the village, and along the way, Du Yunjuan kept telling Du Yunyan to be careful on the road, not to play on the road, and to go home early.
Du Yunyan was not impatient, and when she arrived at the entrance of the village, she said, "Eldest sister, eldest brother-in-law, don't send it, go back quickly, Xiaoyu and Xiaoxi are at home." ”
Lin Changsheng and Du Yunjuan stopped at this time.
