Put the excess oil out, and the next step is to fry the meat slices, which are tender and smooth after being fried with water starch.

There are too many slices of meat, and it is impossible to use up this meal for dinner, Liu Qingyan only used a small part of fried lettuce slices, and the rest was put in a large bowl with the pork belly used by Xie for gifts, and then put it into a large water tank to float, now the weather is hot, and there is well water to cool down so that it will not go bad.

The lettuce slices are only spinach and cucumber when fried, spinach is fried with garlic, and cucumber is cold, which is simple and has no technical content.

Xie Shi came out of the room to prepare for dinner, and when he entered the stove room, he saw that the two little girls had already prepared the dinner properly, and he knew that his daughter was annoyed when he saw her, and he couldn't bear to let her work out again and did it silently, and his eyes suddenly turned red and he cried.

Liu Qingyan was most afraid of this mother's nose crying at every turn, and it took a long time to make Xie laugh.

Xie smiled, the clouds in his heart dissipated a lot, and he happily went to set the table for dinner.

Four dishes and one soup, although it is some home-cooked side dishes, but the meat and vegetables are properly matched, the big bone pot Huaishan soup is thick and delicious, rich in nutrition, plus the noon soup is noodle soup, there are not many dry goods without hunger.

Liu Qingyan gnawed the meat on the big bones, and then sucked the bone marrow inside, sucking it squeaked,

Gnaw more bones and maybe you can grow taller!

The dishes for the night dinner were swept away, and they all ate round stomachs.

Xie was in a hurry to go back to his parents' house, and the next day the chickens crowed all over the place, so he got up and went into the stove room to make breakfast, and prepared the day's pig food.

In the morning, I make noodles, and I don't need to make noodles when I make hand-rolled noodles, which saves a lot of time. When cooking noodles, add some slices of meat and vegetables to it, take it out and drizzle it with oil and chili, the color is pleasing to look at, and it is a delicious breakfast.

Xie Shi packed up his things and put them in the bamboo basket and was about to leave, when Mrs. Liu brought an old hen over and asked Xie to take it back to her parents' house.

"Mother, it's enough for me to take these gifts back, how can I ask for the chicken at home again, this chicken will keep it to lay eggs." Xie was grateful, but still declined his mother-in-law's kindness.

Mrs. Liu knew that her daughter-in-law was afraid of the heavy courtesy, so she was embarrassed to take it, so she said with a smile: "This chicken lays fewer eggs, I have been paying attention for a long time, and I deliberately kept it this morning and didn't let it out, the eggs at home were sold yesterday, so you can take this chicken back to make up for your mother." ”

Xie Shi was moved, choked up, and said: "My mother is like a daughter-in-law to my daughter-in-law, and it is a great blessing for me to marry into the Liu family in this life." ”

Mrs. Liu waved her hand and said, "Silly boy, if you say anything else, you are a member of the Liu family when you enter our Liu family, but you are not the same as your mother's daughter." ”

Xie bent his knees and squatted down to give a salute to his mother-in-law to show his gratitude.

Mrs. Liu raised her hand to help her up, and instructed: "Now there is no important work at home, my body can cope with it, you will take Yan Yatou and stay at her mother's house for one night, so that Yan Yatou can be close to her mother, she has not been to see her grandmother for some years." Then he added, "Even if you stay for two days." ”

"Whoa."

Xie Shi happily responded, wiped away the tears on his face, and dragged Liu Qingyan away.

Liu Qingyan was holding an old hen in her hand, originally Xie refused to let her go, afraid that her daughter would not be able to walk so far, and planned to go back alone to see that day and come back, Liu Qingyan insisted on going, but Xie couldn't agree to it.

Xie's maiden family is in another town, called Maozhu Town, and the village is called Huangzhuao, which is more than 20 miles away from Baishui Village, where bamboo is abundant and surrounded by continuous bamboo mountains.

Regarding the information about the original owner's grandmother's house, Liu Qingyan's memory is only a little bit, and she only vaguely remembers that there are many, many bamboos.

This is very similar to my grandmother's house in my previous life, where the houses are hidden in the green bamboo sea, and most of the daily utensils are made of bamboo. It is precisely for this reason that Liu Qingyan insisted on going with Xie.

In the past, on the second day of the first lunar month every year, Xie and Xianggong went back to their parents' house, and hurried back after lunch, just because they couldn't rest assured that the girl at home could spend the night at their parents' house this time, and they were overjoyed.

Xie Shi was overly excited, and his steps moved fast all the way, Liu Qingyan followed suit, and he could keep up at the beginning, but after walking a few miles, he was a little physically exhausted, so he had to grit his teeth and follow, complaining in his heart.

I thought that after practicing yoga for so long, my physical strength would improve, and there was no problem with walking, but who expected that it would be difficult not long after she walked on the official road, she overestimated her strength.

Xie Shi in front finally noticed that his daughter didn't follow, stopped and picked up the chicken, and asked, "Tired of walking?" ”

Liu Qingyan nodded embarrassedly.

"You kid, don't let you come, you're here, you've only walked a few miles, and it's still far from grandma's house." Xie was angry and distressed.

Liu Qingyan refused to admit it, looked at Xie Shi with obsidian-like eyes, and said firmly: "I can go." ”

Xie had no choice but to sigh helplessly, slow down and continue to walk with his daughter.

After walking a few miles, the official road will turn into a fork in the road, and at first you can see some sparse trees on both sides of the fork road, but gradually the trees will all turn into towering bamboo, covering the sky and the sun, and the road is getting narrower and narrower.

Twenty miles of road, Xie walked alone, and he could walk in more than an hour, but now with Liu Qingyan's burden, he took two breaths on the road, and it took two hours.

Huangzhu Pass is a flat land surrounded by mountains on all sides.

Looking up, surrounded by bamboo fences, mud walls and gray tiles of the houses are scattered among the fruit trees, the low place is some paddy fields, surrounded by lush bamboo mountains, only a path that two people can cross side by side winds out, at this moment the smoke on the roof of the house is wafting, the sound of chickens and dogs barking can be faintly heard, a good paradise.

There are only a few dozen families in Huangzhu'ao, Xie's mother's house is at the foot of the mountain at the back of the village, and the mother and daughter walk through the field path into the village.

Liu Qingyan was not afraid of people coming to see, and smiled sweetly, showing two pear vortices that were even more delicate and moving. Xie asked her to call someone, and she shouted generously in a crisp voice.

The small courtyard of the farmhouse hidden among the verdant fruit trees is the pattern of the east and west wings sandwiched between the north and the top, the south side is blocked by a bamboo fence, a wooden door in the middle, and there is a peach tree on the left and right, which is full of small green fruits.

In the courtyard, a shed was built with wood, covered with bark, and bamboo screens, bamboo plaques, dustpans, baskets, etc. were placed in the shed.

A tall man in his sixties with a slightly white beard and two men in the prime of life were sawing bamboo and breaking scorn. A woman stepped on a low ladder to dry bamboo shoots on the roof of the shed, a delicate girl was weaving bamboo utensils in front of the steps of the upper room, a big yellow dog was lying at the girl's feet basking in the sun, and two children, one big and one small, were chasing and playing in front of the yellow dog.

The yellow dog flicked its tail leisurely, glancing at the children vigilantly, beware of them harassing him.

"Daddy." Xie shouted through the courtyard gate.

The busy people in the courtyard heard it and turned their heads to look, and they stopped what they were doing.

"Second girl, why are you back?" Old man Xie's angry voice was full of joy.

"Second sister."

"Second sister."

"Ah, it's the second sister and niece who are here!" The woman who had dried the bamboo shoots also hurried down the ladder.

When the frolicking little man saw it, he immediately ran over and hugged Xie's legs, shouting: "Second aunt, second aunt has come to bring me something delicious." "Bring it, bring it, you glutton." Xie pinched the little man's cheek and walked in

The big yellow dog also ran over and happily twisted its tail and circled, but the little girl just stood there and watched.

"Big brother, sister-in-law, little brother." Xie led Liu Qingyan into the courtyard, greeted everyone one by one, and handed the bamboo basket to his sister-in-law Cai, and said, "There is a snack in it, take it to the servants to eat." He said to Xie Laohan again: "Dad, I heard Cailan say that my mother fell and injured my waist, and I was worried about my mother's body, so I came to take a look." ”

Xie Laohan waved his arm and said, "Your mother is nothing serious, but her waist is bruised, and it hurts badly when she moves, so just lie down with plasters for a few days." ”

Although Liu Qingyan has not been to her grandmother's house for many years, the two families often have contacts, and these people have an impression in the memory of going to Liu's house, so they also shouted "Grandpa, uncle, aunt." ”

When calling uncle, the two uncles agreed together, which saved trouble.

The delicate girl came over and shouted "Second Aunt" to Xie, and then stood quietly without speaking.

Xie Shi pointed to the delicate girl and introduced to Liu Qingyan: "This is your uncle's daughter Qiaozhen, you should call her sister." ”

Liu Qingyan smiled and called out to the delicate girl, "Sister Qiaozhen".

Qiaozhen still smiled quietly and nodded, which was a response.

Liu Qingyan felt that this Qiaozhen's temperament was very similar to her before, no, it was very similar to the original owner.

The days of impostoring have been long, and the memories have fused together, and she also regards the memories of the deity as a part of herself.

Xie Shi pointed to the two little ones and said, "This is your uncle's brave son and Qiao Mei." ”

The little girl was shy, and hid behind her father and stretched out her head to look.

Cai Shi looked at the things in the basket and said to Xie Shi: "You will come here, and you will bring so many things, both chicken and meat, you are not afraid that the people of your husband's family will have something to say." While finding the snack wrapped in oiled paper, he handed it to Yong Yanzi and said, "Let's take it to the house with your sister and eat it." ”

Yong Lingzi happily shouted "Eat snacks, eat snacks", and beckoned Qiaomei to leave.

Xie replied with a smile: "Sister-in-law said this as if she has a grudge against our family and doesn't let you bring things back to your parents' house." I bought the meat and snacks with my own private money, and the chicken was given by my mother-in-law, and my mother-in-law took it without disobedience, but I didn't have the courage to take my mother-in-law's chicken privately. ”

Cai's is also a straightforward character, and said angrily: "Second sister, you marry Xiucai Gong as a lady, this mouth has also become sharp, but I have nothing to answer, I slapped myself in the face." As he spoke, he slapped his cheek.

"Hahaha."

Those present burst into laughter.

When the laughter stopped, Cai took Liu Qingyan's hand and said: "My niece is a weak person, I must be tired from walking this long way, don't stand in the courtyard, go into the house to talk, my mother will be happy to see the second sister and niece." ”

Liu Qingyan's feet hurt early, and she couldn't wait to sit down and rest her legs.
