Rong Rong's eyes were complicated, a little surprised, a little grateful, pursed her lips, and finally taught the child: "You took my sister's things, what do you want to say?" ”

The child scratched her head, and looked at her mother with round eyes in confusion.

Rong Rong patiently taught: "I want to say thank you." ”

The childish voice of the child said in a gourd drawing: "Thank you~"

Xu Qingzhi replied: "You're welcome." ”

Xiao Dongxiang waved his hand, "Uncle, we won't delay your business." ”

"Okay, if you want to eat sweet potatoes when you go back, come to the house and get them." Ah Gong was polite.

The road back to the small courtyard from the mountain is not far, but I picked a big road that is easy to walk and detours a little.

The father and son of the Xu family carried two baskets of sweet potatoes on each shoulder, and when they came back, their faces were not red or panting, but there were a few young people, and as soon as the burden was unloaded, they couldn't wait to sit on the spot.

The sweet potatoes recovered from the ground were spread on the ground at will, and the sweet potato leaves were taken by Xu Fuqiang to feed the pigs.

Ah Gong raised a few chickens and ducks, but did not raise pigs.

Subsequently, Ah Gong took a woven bag and filled a bag of sweet potatoes for Xu Fuqiang to take back and eat.

Xu Fuqiang directly threw a bag of sweet potatoes at the back of the tricycle, and Xu Qingzhi drove the tricycle Dudu home first.

As soon as Wang Yanmei finished cooking, she heard the movement outside, came out and saw Xu Qingzhi alone, and asked, "What about your father?" ”

"They walked back from behind, and I dragged a bag of sweet potatoes back first." Xu Qingzhi reached out and took down a bag of sweet potatoes from the back of the tricycle.

Wang Yanmei said 'oops', and hurriedly went up to pick it up, "It's so heavy, you girl doll, don't flash your waist." When your dad comes back, let him mention it's the same. ”

Xu Qingzhi dragged the lump tied with a rope with both hands, and he had already taken it down, and slipped directly to the corner of the door of the house in one go, "Mom, don't worry, my arm is strong." ”

Wang Yanmei stretched out her hand to open the woven bag and looked at it, "The sweet potatoes planted by your grandfather's family this year are beautiful, and they are all small, they are all round and bulging." ”

"There is no small one." Xu Qingzhi went to get a glass of water to drink, "Grandpa picked up all the good sweet potatoes for us, not only the small ones, but also the big ones." ”

She took a sip of water, put the cup down, and gestured with her two hands, "It's so big!" But it's a pity that it was dug up, and Ah Gong said that he picked up the rotten ones and sent them over to cook them in our pig food for the pigs to eat. ”

"Uh-huh." Wang Yanmei responded, picked up a few sweet potatoes from it and asked, "Big girl, do you want to eat sweet potatoes?" ”

Xu Qingzhi's eyes lit up.

"Yes!"

But......

"It's too much trouble, and I have to make dinner."

Wang Yanmei said angrily: "As long as you want to eat, it's not troublesome for mom to do anything." However, you have to do it, Mom is too slow to do it alone. ”

Xu Qingzhi said happily: "Okay! ”

In the kitchen, the mushroom chicken soup has been boiled, the fragrant dried bean belly and the bright red tamales are steaming in the steamer, and the stewed and spicy duck has been fried, lying quietly in the pressure cooker, just waiting for the people to come back, and it will be soft and rotten after simmering for more than ten minutes.

As for the vegetables, Wang Yanmei also washed and cut them, and prepared the ingredients for garlic, chili peppers, and chopped green onions.

In Meicheng, vegetables are stir-fried at the end, and they can be fried for a few minutes, which is not a trouble.

Therefore, as long as my daughter wants to eat, she will have time to make a sweet potato meal, and she will eat later.

Wang Yanmei took out the flour and poured it into the stainless steel basin.

Xu Qingzhi felt that this basin was strangely familiar, and asked: "Mom, isn't this the basin we used to wash our faces when we were children?" ”

"yes, I don't have to wash my face in the basin anymore. This basin is not broken, it can still be used, I have been with the noodles several times, it is very strong, and we also used this to make moon cakes last time. Wang Yanmei finished pouring the flour and patted her head, "You have to steam the sweet potatoes first, look at my memory." ”

There are many pots at home, in addition to electric steamers, there are also steamers that can be used on open stoves.

The sweet potatoes are washed, scraped, cut into small pieces, placed in a basin, and then put in a steamer to steam.

Wang Yanmei continued to pour flour again, and muttered in her mouth: "This white rice flour is less, glutinous rice flour is more, it tastes better, and it looks good when soaked in oil." ”

"Why don't we grow some glutinous rice in the next year?" Xu Qingzhi said.

Wang Yanmei nodded, "Okay, your father and your grandfather still love to eat this glutinous rice, and they think it's fragrant." ”

"I think it smells good, too." Xu Qingzhi doesn't like glutinous rice either, because he hasn't eaten it for a long time.

I only remember that in my childhood memory, I cooked glutinous rice a few times, sprinkled with sugar, stirred and stirred, she held the rice bowl, and the food was indeed quite fragrant.

"Yes, all the plants are planted, anyway, we have a place to plant them now. Whatever you want to eat, you can plant it. Wang Yanmei smiled and said, "I found that the things outside now are not as delicious as those grown at home." Playing cards today, I heard a person say that many supermarket potatoes are now medicated, so that they don't sprout for fear of spoilage. ”

"Then we'll grow our own potatoes." Xu Qingzhi said.

Wang Yanmei waved her hand: "But no one in our family eats potatoes." ”

Xu Qingzhi: "I remember, I used to go to the market and didn't get potatoes to sell, and everyone didn't seem to grow potatoes. ”

"We don't have many people who eat potatoes."

The late army had just arrived home at this time, and when they heard the conversation in the kitchen, Xu Zijun interjected: "Who said that no one in our family eats, Mom, that is because you never make potatoes." I like to eat potatoes, and the dry pot potatoes outside the school are especially delicious. ”
