The thick soup made with small white fish is like snow-white milk tumbling in the pot, exuding a rich flavor. Two drops of spirit stone water were dripped into the soup base, and only one salt was used for the seasoning. The fish soup is already very fresh, and adding other seasonings will inevitably add to the feeling of a snake. When it comes out of the pot, sprinkle some chopped coriander and drip two drops of sesame oil to make people whet their appetite when they smell it.

Mrs. Fang tried to take a sip under the expectant gaze of Xiaocao and the two girls, and the strong fragrance seemed to arouse the "gluttony" in her stomach. The soup base is delicious, the fish is delicate, and before you know it, a bowl of fish soup and half a bowl of fish meat are eaten by Mrs. Fang.

Pearl and Linglong held each other's hands, tears of excitement shining in their eyes. Madame's appetite has been worrying lately, and she doesn't eat as much as a cat at every meal, and if she eats hard, it will have the opposite effect—all the little food she finally eats will be spit out. Madame hadn't finished a bowl of soup for a long time, especially with meaty food. The two faithful girls were happier than eating into their own mouths.

Mrs. Fang gently dipped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, savoring the deliciousness in her mouth. Although I wanted to take a few more sips, I held back with restraint. She also knows that no matter how delicious the food is, there must be a degree, so as not to spoil the appetite again.

Seeing Xiaocao's heartfelt smile, Mrs. Fang gently stroked her smooth and shiny hair, and said softly: "It's hard for you!" These days, I just want to let me eat more, and I am tired and thin! These days, your family is busy building a house, and you have to go back to your mother to help me cook for me. I don't know how to thank you......"

"Godmother! A family doesn't talk about two families, you are my godmother, just like my mother, now is a special period, who don't you follow first? My mother has Aunt Zhou, my grandmother and my grandmother to help me, and I can't intervene when I go! Godmother, if you say such things again, I won't follow it! Xiaocao pretended to be angry, puffing out her little face like an angry toad!

Mrs. Fang smiled and said, "Good, good, good!" It's the godmother's mistake, what you said is that your own family doesn't have to be polite! You've been busy all morning, go home and rest. I'm tired too, so I'll be in the house for a while......"

Yu Xiaocao helped her godmother to lie on the bed, took a thin brocade quilt and put it on her body, watched her close her eyes, and then left the inner room lightly, lowered her voice and said to Linglong: "Look at the time, don't let the godmother sleep too long, lest you can't sleep at night!" ”

Linglong agreed, sent her out of the room, and when she came back, she saw that her wife opened her eyes again, and said with a smile: "Madam, you are really a blessed one, and Miss is a filial one!" ”

Mrs. Fang smiled at the corner of her mouth, and said lightly: "The most right thing your general has done in his life is to recognize Xiaocao as his daughter!" This child is a blessed person, and even Dr. Sun praised some of the medicinal recipes she proposed, which are very helpful to the general's body! If it weren't for her not being afraid of trouble every day, she made medicinal food for us to recuperate, I am afraid it would be difficult for me to have my own children in my life! ”

Linglong hurriedly said: "Miss is such a good person, but you and the general met." This is also a blessing for you! ”

Mrs. Fang nodded slowly, covered her lower abdomen with her hands, and a kind smile hooked up at the corner of her mouth: Isn't this child blessed? Before he was born, he had a sister who was wholeheartedly for him. Perhaps, she has been such a child in her life, and she will be relieved to have such a benevolent and capable sister as Xiaocao as her companion!

Xiaocao came to the house and saw that the uncles and uncles who came to help were having lunch in full swing, and in the open space next to it, the kung fu brick wall had risen more than one person high for a few days, and it looked strong and magnificent. In Dongshan Village, apart from the village chief's house, there is no second house willing to build a brick structure. When Yu Hai asked people to send the first car of green bricks, the people in the village talked about it.

Some say that since Yu Hai split up, he has been selling braised vegetables, growing early-maturing vegetables, and pounding big watermelons. It seems that he has made a lot of money, otherwise how can he be willing to spend a lot of money to build a brick house?

After lunch, the old man who was about to come to the old house to help, met an old guy who usually had a good relationship. The old man saw him with a wrinkled smile on his face, and raised his voice and said, "Old Yu, have you gone to help your second son again?" Your second child is really amazing, he can hunt in the mountains, fish in the sea, farm and do business, everything is difficult for him! Lao Yu, you will wait to enjoy happiness in the future! ”

Lao Yutou loves to listen to this, and his second son builds a new house, and he is really happy for the children. There are five large blue brick houses, and there are also matching rooms. Although the frame has not yet risen, I can already get a glimpse of the house in the future! Although he doesn't live in the old house, when it comes to his second son, who doesn't give a thumbs up? There is light on his old Yu family's face!

"Not really! Originally, when the family was separated, it was clearly written on the separation contract that it was enough to pay some coarse grain every month! The second child is a benevolent and righteous person, and he does not forget to honor the old man when he is doing well. Automatically replaced the monthly coarse grain with fine grain, and also gave five taels of silver to sell vegetables! Cough! In our village, we grow our own vegetables, and we also eat fish from the sea, so why do we need so much money for vegetables? I said to return it to him, but he had to let the second child not let him, saying that he would let us save it, and if I wanted to add something in the future, I was not nervous in my hands! Lao Yutou's words were full of show-offs.

thought that after that incident, the second family would be estranged from him again, but he didn't expect that the second family should be filial to him, and secretly gave him five taels of silver every month. After he knew the true face of the Zhang family, for the sake of the third child and the little girl, he still lived a detached life.

However, he will not let the Zhang family alone in the family anymore, and he will not be ambiguous when it is time for him to make a decision. The silver given by the second child, he also saved it privately. Not only does he have two children, the third child and the youngest daughter, but he also has a big daughter who is married far away!

Alas! The eldest girl is still complaining about him!! More than ten years have passed, except for when the second child married her daughter-in-law, she came back once, and she never returned to her parents' house for so many years. That time, she just talked to the second child, and she ignored everyone else!

It's no wonder that the eldest girl is such a strong person, but she was married far away by the Zhang family to a place where birds don't, and she is still married to a widower who is much older than her. At that time, he was also dizzy, why did he listen to Zhang's words and not inquire carefully? By the time the sedan chair came to the door, it was too late...... Alas! Thinking about it now, he's really sorry for Cuiyun, he lost money to Cuiyun's two children......

Speaking of the Northeast, the last time he went to the town, he heard from the merchants there that there had not rained a single rain in the Northeast this spring and summer, which was a harbinger of a great drought! I don't know how the eldest girl is doing now...... No, he has to ask someone to bring a letter to ask about the situation, and if there is a drought, he has to tell his eldest daughter: Although your mother is gone, you still have your mother's family.

Greeting the neighbors all the way, Lao Yutou came to the old house. The first thing I saw was my nephew Yu Jiang and my eldest grandson, who were busy weighing the seafood. There was a long queue in front of the two, in addition to the villagers of Dongshan Village, there were also a slightly faceless person from the fisherman's family next door.

Because the fisherman is proud of the person in charge of collecting seafood, not to mention the indiscriminate price increase, the seafood collected is not up to the mark, the preservation is not appropriate, and there are often stinky and rotten, and the person in charge of the Zhou family workshop canceled the purchase point. Therefore, the proud people of the fishermen will catch up with more than ten miles of land and come to Dongshan Village to sell seafood.

Although the harvest of seafood, a pound of only a few pennies of input, but can not stand the large amount of seafood. He calculated in his heart that the second family could earn a few taels of silver a day just by collecting seafood. Yu Jiang can share one or two more in a day, right?

Alas! If it weren't for Zhang's work, he would have done too much, maybe the second child would take care of his family affection and let Dashan do Yujiang's errand, which is much better than fishing! Dashan has a lot of strength, but his fishing skills are not as good as his, and he can't make a few dollars at the end of the day...... It's useless to say anything now, just the things that the Zhang family has done, don't talk about helping the mountains, it's good if you don't get angry!

Lao Yutou saw that the courtyard was eating in full swing, and the thick aroma of meat wafted over with the wind. The corners of Lao Yutou's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart: The food for the second child to build a house is too good, right? Not to mention the stewed meat, I also drink the chilled mung bean soup as water. Money is not so spent, remember to remind him next time! Old Yu Tou didn't enter the yard, nodded at Yu Hang, who greeted him, picked up a shovel and started to make mud!

At this time, there was no concrete, and the bricks were made of yellow mud with strong adhesion, mixed with broken straw. The house is also quite sturdy! Old Yu Tou felt that he owed his second son a little bit, so he came to help from the first day Yu Hai built the house. And he never eats in the old house, as if this can dilute the guilt in his heart.

Yu Hai, who came over after a good meal, and the villagers who helped in the village, saw Lao Yu busy with the scorching sun as soon as they came. Yu Hai hurriedly put the straw hat on his head and put it on his father's head, and said, "Dad, why did you come so early?" How hot the sun is now, it's not too late to do it when the heat is gone! ”

"In the summer, if it rains that day, maybe it will fall! Take advantage of the good weather and build the house. Shouldn't the two old houses next to it also be built before the autumn harvest? God doesn't wait for anyone, our fishermen are used to the sun, what is this little sun? Lao Yu wiped a handful of sweat and continued to work hard.

When the others saw this, they were naturally embarrassed to rest. Liu Pei climbed onto the scaffolding made of bamboo poles, and while smearing mud on the bricks, he said, "Uncle Yu, don't worry! Let's go back a little later today, and the walls of the house are almost finished! It should be no problem to put on the beam tomorrow! ”

Lao Yutou spat in the palm of his hand, held the shovel and kept shoveling the mud into the bamboo basket, and kept nodding his head: "Hmm! Strive to be on the beam tomorrow! Second, the upper beam is a big deal, are the firecrackers ready? Have you bought all the dishes for your treat? ”
