Chapter 68: Housewarming

The soup is a delicious pork bone broth made from a thick soup made with pork bones that has been stewed overnight. The staple food is steamed bread made of white flour and millet noodles.

Each table has eight vegetables, four meats and one thick soup, and this kind of banquet is one of the best in the village. And some of the dishes are something that everyone has never seen before, and although the ingredients are simple, the ingredients are extremely delicious. None of the people who have eaten it do not say good.

There is a woman who has always been good friends with the Liu family, and secretly learned from her, how can she make so many tricks with radish and cabbage, and the taste is so good. Liu glanced at his daughter proudly and said, "Most of these tricks were thought up by Cao'er. She pointed out on the side, and my sister-in-law and I made it. ”

Everyone in the village knows that Yu Xiaocao, the second daughter of the Liu family, has forgotten many things in the past since she broke her head in the summer, but she didn't expect that she would be more clever and talented in cooking after losing her memory. I couldn't help but praise again and again.

Li stepped on the meal, first looked at the new old mansion with sourness, and said sour words in his mouth: "We are not as blessed as our second brother and sister, the family has a single house, and lives in such a big house......"

The kitchen was very busy, and even a few sisters in the village who had a good relationship with the Liu family came over early to help. Yu Caidie ignored her mother Zhang's scolding, and also came over to wash and pick vegetables, and helped borrow dishes and chopsticks, and was very busy.

Li Shi was good, he didn't even help serve the food, pulled his son to pick up a table, and sat down. When eating, as if he had been hungry for eight lifetimes, he played with chopsticks quickly, picking up meat and vegetables and pulling them into his and his son's bowls. The neighbors at the same table kept shaking their heads when they looked at her.

The banquet was opened for ten tables, and the dishes prepared by the Liu family were very sufficient, and there were more leftovers of everything. After Li had eaten and drunk enough, he was not in a hurry to leave, and basked in the sun in the yard with his hands in his hands. Generally speaking, the leftovers are given to the people who help the cook, and each person takes some back.

Li Shi was fine, he couldn't find her when he was cooking and cleaning up the dishes, but when he was distributing the leftovers, he licked his face and squeezed over: "Second brother and sister, there are so many leftovers of this dish, you can't finish it, take it back to me in parts." Let my mother and third brother also taste your craft......"

"Sister-in-law Dashan, when you didn't split up, it's not like you haven't eaten the food cooked by sister-in-law of the sea. It's only been a few days, and I miss my sister-in-law's craftsmanship? ”

The starfish daughter-in-law next door to the Yu family is a fast-talker, she has a good relationship with the Liu family, the two often collect firewood and cut pigweed together, and also ask the Liu family for embroidery work from time to time. At this time, there was something in her sarcastic words.

Li pretended not to hear, found a washed soup basin, and buried himself in filling it with vegetables. She picked up meat dishes such as rabbit meat and chicken nuggets, and she divided almost half of the rest of the meat dishes. Holding the soup pot as full as a hill, she glanced greedily into the pot, and reluctantly twisted her fat waist and left.

When Heizi heard her mother's shout, she rushed out of the backyard, carrying a little pheasant with wings in her hand, and said cheekily: "Second aunt, there are two rabbits and a pheasant left in your backyard, divide one and bring it back to me." I haven't tasted meat in over a month! ”

Yu Xiaocao was happy: Who just picked up half a plate of chicken nuggets by himself? Fang Cai's rabbit meat and chicken have all eaten to the dog's stomach?

The Liu family also knew the virtues of the mother and son, and they didn't bother to bother with them, so they just wanted to send the two plague gods away quickly. The women who helped shook their heads. Yu Hai is lame on one leg, the Liu family can't do heavy work, the children are still young, and the Li family, who is the eldest uncle, is embarrassed to come to fight the autumn breeze, not to mention helping. With such relatives, the Liu family is unlucky enough.

After sending away a few helpers, Yao saw that it was still early, so he also left with his eldest daughter-in-law. In the evening, Yu Xiaocao's sister and brother squeezed on their father's kang, and the family counted the recent expenses.

"Although it is said that the labor and material money to build a house are not much, but the doors and windows and furniture or something, it takes five taels of silver. It was hard to build a house, everyone brought their own dry food, Xiaocao proposed to add a steamed bun and a bowl of porridge at noon, the steamed bun was made of white flour and millet flour or sweet potato flour, and it cost nearly a tael of silver to buy all kinds of flour. When building the house, Yu Hai's legs and feet were inconvenient, and he stayed in the Yu family all the time, so the Liu family calculated the expenses to him.

Yu Hai touched Xiaocao's head and said with a smile: "Cao'er is doing the right thing, although our silver is not spacious, people come to help, but we can't let you work hungry." Every family in the village has little oil and water, and the coarse bread eaten in the morning has been consumed at noon, so it is time to add another meal. I heard Brother Li praise our family for being sincere, the steamed bread is mixed with half of the white flour, he brings an extra piece of bean cake every day, the steamed bread is reluctant to eat, take it back to satisfy the children's hunger! ”

Dongshan Village is a small fishing village near the sea, most of the village depends on fishing for a living, and the surrounding sandy land can only grow some crops that do not pick the land. Most people eat coarse grains such as soybean flour, potato flour and millet noodles, and they are willing to buy some white noodles during the Chinese New Year all year round. The steamed bun mixed with half of the white flour has become a good thing in everyone's eyes.

Liu looked at the second daughter, who was becoming more and more clever, smiled and continued: "For today's banquet, most of the meat and vegetables were sent by Brother Zhao, and it cost more than three hundred yuan to cut pork, and it added up to nearly one or two silvers to buy noodles and vegetables. Of the original twelve taels, there are still more than five taels left. ”

Yu Hai thought for a while and said, "Your mother's family is not well-off, and the ten taels of silver sent over are also borrowed from all over the world." We can't let the second elder take on the debt for us. The remaining five taels of silver will be brought back to my mother-in-law tomorrow. It doesn't matter if our days are hard, we can't drag down my mother-in-law's family anymore. ”

This is a family, when there is a need, we do our best to help, understand and care for each other......

Xiaocao feels the warmth of home, although she is poor, she is not working alone, she has a father, a mother, and brothers and sisters.

She smiled and moved to her father's side, lifted the quilt covering his lap, and said, "It's massage time again, Dad, enjoy your daughter's filial piety!" ”

The wound on Yu Hai's leg healed quickly, and most of the scabs had fallen off. A few days ago, when Yu Xiaocao accompanied him to the Tongrentang in the town for a review, Dr. Sun, who had judged him to be incurable, looked at his ruddy face and full spirit in surprise.

Even in modern times, this is a medical miracle. The calf was comminuted, the flesh on the entire leg was barely intact, and there was a big hole in the back, and the internal organs were almost visible. The leg wound is too big, the person is burned unconscious, there is no advanced medical equipment, there is no complete medicine, this person can still stand alive in front of him, isn't it a miracle?

While Dr. Sun was amazed, he could only attribute it to his good physical fitness, high desire to survive, and being favored by the god of luck.

After checking the wounded leg and the wound on the back, and checking Yu Hai's pulse, he was sure that he was fine, and Dr. Sun said, "Medicine, you don't need to take it." The tendons and veins in his leg are seriously injured, so I need to massage him often, and maybe he can shake off the crutches. ”

At that time, Yu Xiaocao seriously asked Dr. Lin for massage techniques, and took the opportunity of massage every day to stick the little mending stone on his father's injured leg, so that the little mending stone used spiritual power to slowly nourish the broken and injured tendons.

The multicolored stone on her wrist seemed to have unintentionally slipped on her scarred leg, and with her massage movements, the pale golden light that only Xiaocao could see slowly flowed along the direction of the hamstring veins......

Yu Hai felt that there was a comfortable warm current in the place where his daughter's little hands had kneaded, and the soreness in his legs slowly receded, he quietly closed his eyes and fell asleep comfortably in his daughter's massage......

"Cao'er, thank you for your hard work. You teach your godmother how to massage, and I'll come later. Seeing that her daughter shook her tired and sour hand, Liu said distressedly.

Xiaocao shook her head and said, "Mother, this is an opportunity for your daughter to show her filial piety, you can't stop it." Xiaolian has asked to learn it several times, but I haven't taught her! My father and mother love me so much, and how much I have suffered for me since I was a child, I should also help my father massage. ”

After a tiring day, the family went to bed early. Yu Xiaocao lay quietly on the warm kang, although there was straw under him, and the cotton on the quilt was also formed into hard lumps, patches one after another, which was much warmer and more comfortable than the Yu family squeezing on a broken kang.

After making sure that Xiaolian beside her was asleep, Xiaocao raised her left wrist and gently said to Xiao Mending Tianshi, "Little rice balls, little rice balls......"

[If you want to call me Xiao Tangyuan again, this god stone will turn his face! ] The pale golden light emitted and slowly condensed into a golden kitten with a big head, pointed ears and a short body. The little guy stared at the grass angrily with round eyes.

Yu Xiaocao tapped the little guy's slippery head with his fingertips, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay!" If I don't call you a little rice ball, what do you think I should call you? Or I'll give you a new name, and I'll call it ...... Little bald, how's that? ”

The little golden ball of light, flapping his wings to avoid Xiaocao's fingers, snorted angrily: [In the future, people will be girls. The name of the 'little bald head' is too ugly. This god stone has a name, it was given to me by Nuwa Niangniang, it's called 'Yuanzi', it's good, right? 】

"Poofβ€”Yuanzi? I'm still going to do it! I think it's better to call it a small rice ball, it fits your round figure, it's nice and cute! It's decided, I'll call you Xiao Tangyuan in the future, and the objection is invalid! Yu Xiaocao gave Xiao Butian Stone a name very strongly.

"Xiao Tangyuan, you say, how long will my father's leg be better? Can he still walk normally? Yu Xiaocao asked with a little worry. These days, although my father has been smiling in front of my mother and them, she sees a faint loneliness in his smile.

In the past, my father was high-spirited, good at fishing and hunting, and could make some simple bamboo tools. If he can't do without crutches in his life, he will probably be depressed......
