Chapter 43: Teach the Son
Song Hongguo kneaded the filling into a ball, first coated it with a layer of flour on the outside, and the white flour was sticky, so that it would not fall apart when steaming, and then dipped in some water, and then wrapped in a layer of cornmeal, and then put it in the steamer.
The caliber of the steamer is not small, and about ten can be placed on one layer, she bought four at the time, but this time the filling only pinched twenty-eight vegetable dumplings, and three baskets were enough.
Without waiting for her to order, Ling Zhi, who had drunk the malt milk essence, had already burned the fire, and the filling was basically cooked, so it could be eaten in about ten minutes after boiling.
While waiting, Song Hongguo grabbed a handful of millet and fed it to the chickens, and choked Ling Zhi with a lot of distress.
"I can dig up wild vegetables for them to eat!"
"They're still too young to grow just eating wild vegetables, do you want to pick up eggs?"
"That can't be a ...... of millet either"
"Only occasionally, when the wild vegetables are dug up, they are mixed with cornmeal and fed to them."
"......" cornmeal doesn't need to be cherished?
The chickens and geese were still too young, and Song Hongguo didn't dare to put them in the chicken pen in the backyard, so they were kept in a basket for the time being, waiting for the weather to be warm and warm.
Ten minutes later, when the lid of the pot was lifted, the heat was steaming, and the fragrance also came out violently, straight to the door.
Ling Yuan let out a "wow", his eyes were as bright as stars in the dark night.
Although Ling Zhi felt sorry for Huo Huo for so many good things, his sense of smell was fine, the fragrance came to his nose, and he subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
Song Hongguo was also a little impatient, waiting for the heat to dissipate slightly, she picked up the vegetable dumplings one by one into the steamed bun basket, the basket was woven with corn husks, the shape was like a granary, it looked simple, but in fact, it was very meticulous and meticulous, and it was very thick, with a certain thermal insulation effect, she laid a layer of clean white cotton cloth in it in advance, which was more than enough for more than 20 vegetable dumplings.
"Let's eat!"
The mother and son sat on the newly bought rattan chairs, one for each person, and after breaking it open, the emerald spinach, tender eggs, and soft glutinous vermicelli seemed to suddenly have a fresh life, frantically provoking the taste buds of the three of them.
When you bite into it, the indescribable deliciousness brings you an instant burst of satisfaction.
Song Hongguo sighed, it was in vain that she had been busy for so long.
Ling Zhi sighed, it is not in vain that Huo Huo has so many good things.
Ling Yuan also sighed, no one stopped him in vain!
No matter how delicious the vegetable dumplings are, according to Song Hongguo's appetite, they can only eat three, and the two little guys can't hold it after eating two, she found a basket, wrapped six in cotton cloth and put it in, and handed it to Ling Zhi, "Send it to your third cousin's house." ”
Ling Zhi was a little reluctant, "Didn't you just give the buns yesterday?" ”
Hearing this, Song Hongguo didn't blame him, food was scarce these days, and for a bite to eat, brothers and sisters could fight, and it was understandable that he was unhappy.
But what should be taught to him, she still has to say, "Give the bun to thank the people for helping us work yesterday, and today they helped us carry things, and after more than two hours of hard work, it's just that?" ”
"Didn't the third cousin also say that it's nothing for a family to take a hand, and it's too polite."
"People are kind, but we can't take other people's kindness for granted, right?" Song Hongguo patiently explained, "Brothers still have to settle accounts, not to mention this kind of kinship relationship of three thousand miles, there are contacts and contacts, in order to live for a long time, relatives also need to be carefully managed, this kind of human affection is one of them." ”
“…… Is it just a thank you for giving me food? ”
Hearing this, Song Hongguo laughed and teased, "What? Think I'm using the name of gratitude to win over relatives and deliberately curry favor? ”
Ling Zhi's face turned red all of a sudden, and he subconsciously said, "No, how could I think that?" ”
Song Hongguo said with a smile, "What's the hurry, I don't blame you even if you think so, because I do have such a meaning in addition to repaying the favor." ”
Ling Zhi looked at her blankly.
Song Hongguo said frankly, "We are new to the village, without any foundation, the most easy to be rejected and isolated by the villagers, and even see that our family only has women and children, and they will bully us, if you want to get rid of this predicament and potential danger, the most effective way is to integrate into this village as soon as possible, my own grandparents and grandmothers have passed away a long time ago, and the relationship between my second aunt and my original biological mother is not good, and there is a chance that she will not treat me, so what else can I do?" ”
She was kind and seductive, and her expression was soft, "Naturally, we are familiar with my uncle's family, have a relationship with each other, and are the captain, and if we are friendly with them, we will be able to gain a firm foothold in this village." ”
"And if you want to make friends, it's not enough to rely on that layer of blood relationship, it's easier to impress people's hearts by sending something moderately, after all, it's a saint in this world who doesn't bend his waist for five buckets of rice."
Ling Zhi was silent, thoughtful.
Ling Yuan listened with relish.
"Of course, I don't say this to let you build relationships in the future, let alone treat all the kinship as an exchange of interests, I just want to tell you a little ...... A little wisdom in life can make your life a little easier. ”
After thinking about it, he emphasized again, "I don't want you to mix as much as a fish in water, but moderate flexibility and harmony are still very necessary." ”
At this time, Ling Zhi said, "My dad said that to be a man, you must have a straight back, be proud and have a backbone, do not flatter, do not bully, do not drill camps, and do not be cunning......"
Song Hongguo rubbed his brows, "Your father is right, but this does not conflict with flexibility and harmony, there is a saying called knowing the world but not the world, the history is smooth and innocent, hey, you slowly understand these two sentences, and when you understand the true meaning of these words, you will also understand." ”
It's so difficult to teach children, children are like blank paper, they don't dare to say deep or shallow, they are very tired, no wonder she watched videos in her previous life and saw many parents being broken down by their children.
She waved her hand, urging the two of them to deliver something, and instructed, "Don't say too much, just do the courtesy." ”
Ling Zhi nodded.
Ling Yuan smiled and added, "You have to be sweeter." ”
Otherwise, this vegetable dumpling will be blind!
Song Hongguo pinched his beautiful smiling face, "Just be smart, go with your brother." ”
"Well, don't worry, Mom, I know what to do."
The brothers carried the basket, held hands and left, and when they got out of the gate, Ling Zhi asked, "Can you understand what Mom said?" ”
Ling Yuan nodded, "To sum it up, it's going to be a problem." ”
If Song Hongguo heard that she had to vomit blood, she chirped so much, and only expressed such a meaning? Is it such a failure to preach and solve doubts?
Ling Zhi asked suspiciously, "Are you sure?" ”
"Of course!" After speaking, Ling Yuan sighed like a little adult, "Brother, my mother is worried that you are too stingy, too upright, and do not understand human feelings, and will not be flexible and harmonious, because in that case, you will have no friends." ”
