Chapter 260: The Mandarin Duck Spectrum (Two Chapters in One)
Bai Muyan opened the wardrobe and ran his fingers over the blue-black and dark gray robes.
The colors were too dark, and finally his gaze rested on a mountain-colored robe.
The color of the mountains is the color of the clouds and mist that condense when the heavy rain is coming.
Stacked green, a little green.
But this color is not very easy to match with headbands and scarves, and Bai Muyan began to think about which scarf to wear looks more suitable.
Bai Muyan's scholar Xiaoxi quietly watched his master toss around.
In winter, wear light-colored clothes, master, you are not cold, we look cold.
To put it mildly, I don't know what to do.
This is really, looking for an excuse to send food to Miss Xu.
In order not to appear abruptly, I would rather give gifts to others than to deliver food.
In Xiaoxi's opinion, this is also the meaning of explaining flowers.
The one who hit his head was the girl who had not left the pavilion in the Xu family's big house.
Although in terms of seniority, Miss Xu wants to call the other party's little aunt. But the actual age is not a few years older than Miss Xu, what kind of elders do you say his master recognizes?
Am you really embarrassed to say that I heard that my little aunt had an accident, and I came to visit my elders?
Well, his master was kind enough to say so,
It's called doing anything to a rare girl.
Yes, it's not uncommon, like a while ago, the old lady showed the girl who raised deer at home.
"Set the car, don't forget to cover the food box with a quilt, and order a few hand stoves to put on the car."
"Young master, don't worry, the small one must be brought out and still hot. Today, I will drive the car steadily, and the soup and water will not spill at all. ”
Bai Muyan scolded with a smile: "Poor mouth, go quickly." ”
After Bai Muyan came out with Xiaoxi, he turned around and closed the door.
He was just about to leave unnoticed, when the mother-in-law of the main house suddenly opened the cotton door curtain, and an old lady called out to him from inside: "Little Hai'er, you come." ”
Bai Muyan had no choice but to turn around and go to the main house.
The Bai family only has six brothers in Bai's father's generation, and there is also a white aunt.
The Bai family's house also occupies the entire Zhuangzi street, and the brothers postponed building houses down.
The Xu family has the little daughter-in-law who was saved on the road, who is Bai Lao Wu's daughter. Uncle Bai lived in the third large courtyard in the west, and each courtyard had a corner gate that was connected.
By the time Bai Muyan's generation arrived, the population was even larger.
He has three brothers, and all three brothers are married, and he is the last in line. If you count all the cousins, there are as many as twenty-six.
That's it, not counting cousins and cousins, as well as the nephews and nieces below.
Every time the ancestors are worshiped during the Chinese New Year, only the immediate family members of the Bai family have to kneel on the ground one hundred and eighty.
And now, among these immediate family members, only Bai Muyan is a little famous in his studies. He was in a detached position in the family.
Because the Bai family is just privately calculating their own livelihoods and accounts, they have never separated on the surface. In recent years, due to the existence of Bai Muyan, there are 80 acres of land without paying taxes and grains.
The most important thing is that the household registration shows that if there is no separation of families, if only one person is given up for military service in the household, then these two things will have nothing to do with the Bai family in the future. A talented man can be exempted from military service in two households under his name.
He can also give one more place to his aunt.
And this is just a show, Bai Muyan is still very young, if it is possible to go further next year, he can be exempted from 200 acres of land and exempt four families from military service.
He wants to designate his grandmother's house, his mother-in-law's house, and his aunt's house.
This is also the reason why the deer girl wants to marry him very much, and her brothers will also borrow it.
So Grandma Bai is a little eccentric, baby Bai Muyan.
When Grandma Bai saw Bai Muyan put on the new clothes she was going to wear for the New Year, she didn't say anything, and it was nothing to hurry up and make another one.
"I heard the cook-in-law say, you want to go out?"
"Yes."
That's all it takes to read, when Bai Muyan doesn't want to say more, grandmother won't ask more.
Because my grandmother would make up for him, he was going out to study with others, which would not have been possible if he had been replaced by other brothers.
"But now I want someone to measure the house, if you leave, we are afraid that we will move the house and mess up your books. Grandmother wants to give you the house to be like the Xu family that your aunt said, so that your feet will be hot, and Wen Shu will not be offended. ”
Bai Muyan asked rhetorically: "Grandmother, are you and my father safe in the house?" In my brothers' and sisters-in-law's house, if you want to get them all, if it's just me, forget it. ”
"What are they compared to you, they don't need to light the lamp to boil oil and read books."
"Grandmother, the scientific examination is more sinful than this, you get it too good for me, what should I do if I don't adapt to the examination room at that time."
"Huh? This ...... "The old lady was a little afraid to mess around.
But she hesitated to ask something else.
The old lady can not take into account the opinions of others, but the idea of this grandson must be considered.
"Xiao Hai'er, last time because of your business, your father leaked to say that he will not go with you in the future, as long as he can move, he will not live with any of your brothers. I sound weird. Your mother has been gone for so many years...... I mean, why don't you find him a companion? Do you mind? ”
Bai Muyan suddenly said: "But the one my aunt mentioned last time was only in his twenties, and my father didn't agree." ”
"Your aunt is unreliable, in her twenties, she came to our family to do something. This time, although my grandmother is not good at doing things and has not seen anyone, she has also heard that she is quite old and has a hearty temperament, and the key person herself can also be, so her eyelids will not be too shallow. The more I inquired, the more satisfied I became. ”
Bai Muyan urged: "Who." ”
"If you really know this person, it's your Aunt Xu who opened a shop in Erdaohe. I'll think about asking you first, and then I'll find someone to go to that side to get through the air. What do you think? ”
Bai Muyan's face turned red with a bang: "It's not good." Grandmother, you'd better not even mention it, the other party won't agree. And if you mess up the mandarin duck score again, your grandson will end up with a mismatch! ”
The old lady of the Bai family was very surprised, pointed to Bai Muyan's back and asked the mother-in-law beside her: "Was he angry at me just now?" Why? ”
Bai Muyan got in the car and was still angry with his grandmother.
What Aunt Xu, he doesn't want to call him aunt at all, he wants to call milk.
Can't he chant Buddha? Always mess with what media.
Bai Muyan knocked on the wall of the car and said to Xiaoxi: "Inquire about it, where can I ask for a Buddha statue to give to the old lady." ”
The good mood is discounted.
At the same time, in fact, Xu Tianxin's noodles have already been eaten, and they are very hearty.
The first to deliver the meal was Mrs. Xu's fifth aunt, whose family sent a plate of flour cakes made of tapioca flour, and then the grandfather's family sent a pot of vegetable paste and a plate of fried tofu.
But in fact, the fourth grandfather's house where they live has tried their best to entertain them, and they put a lot of white noodles to make steamed buns in the morning.
In the past, the steamed buns of the fourth grandfather's family were all brown and black, but this morning they are white.
The old couple whispered to their daughter-in-law not to pick the door: "It's not easy to come home to bring back the rice bowl, put more white noodles." ”
I also deliberately boiled a large pot of rice paste with diced mushrooms.
But before the meal reached his mouth, the second wave of people came to deliver the food.
A table full of pepper and a small bag of people were moving things down from the car: "Sister, we're here." ”
"Why are you two here? Still in a hurry, my God, both faces were frozen purple early in the morning. ”
Pepper carried a bag of salted duck eggs and shortbread, as well as some dried sweet potatoes and chestnut cakes.
Carrying a crockpot behind him, the jar is filled with brown sugar, ginger juice, and black sesame filled rice balls.
His hands were not idle, but he was still holding a bucket, and in the bucket was soft and glutinous white rice porridge.
And the table was full of the smell of rice, and she was eating it from her padded jacket.
The children and grandchildren of the fourth grandfather who watched it were dumbfounded.
There are seven large meat stuffed buns wrapped in oiled paper, as well as a small flower roll with chopped green onions, four pieces of sauce cakes, and six large pieces of corn and pumpkin cake.
The table put the bucket on the kang head again, reminding: "Here is pimple soup, eat it while it's hot." ”
Mrs. Xu laughed and said, "Didn't they tell you about the silver?" I couldn't wait to go back in the afternoon. I won't even let them come, so why don't you come here to live? Why do you use sending so much. ”
Full Table Tell the Truth:
"Isn't it going to be afternoon? Don't worry if you don't take a look.
You said that your Tianxin designation is a bit of a skill, and the next one is handed over. To be honest, sister, you can do it better than us.
It's all funny, those working girls went to help early in the morning, ah, I was scared before dawn in the morning, and I was still carrying a kitchen knife on my body, what use would it be if you really met jackals, tigers and leopards. And just like that, the two of us poured out empty. ”
Pepper also rushed to tell Mrs. Xu:
"Another one, only the glutinous rice balls were specially cooked by your Xiaoqin this morning, and the rest were all given by others.
The two of us hadn't even said they were going to come, so we threw all the food into our arms early in the morning.
There's no way, who let us open a shop on that trip.
That's it, I'm half of it, or Lao Wanjia still wants us to bring tofu brain, not to say that you don't necessarily have to go back when, let me bring more. ”
When Xu Sibo and his family heard these words, they were very envious.
They couldn't interject, except for constantly persuading the table to fill the table and pepper to take off their shoes and sit in the kang quickly, the kang was warm, and then they didn't know what kind words to say.
Because the one called Pepper is the daughter-in-law of Erdaohe.
Although the guy at the table was a little familiar, he used to be a matchmaker, but I heard that now he is working behind Mrs. Xu, and it has become different. I always feel like I don't have anything to talk to each other.
Mrs. Xu saw that the fourth uncle's family was a little restrained, and specially introduced:
"These are my two old sisters.
And this family, but my family is really a relative, last night a large family squeezed to sleep, and we were stunned to vacate several rooms, even Guan Langzhong has one.
This is my mother-in-law's four uncles and four aunts, those are the three sons of their old couple, those are the four granddaughters-in-law, and the grandchildren ......"
The table and pepper immediately said: "It's really a lot of trouble for you, and the fourth uncle and aunt have nothing to do in the future to go to Erdao River to wander around?" You said that if you don't introduce it in detail, we didn't know that the relationship was so close. Just go if it's okay. ”
"When you have some free time, you must go to ......" The two sides talked.
Mrs. Xu couldn't help but laugh and thought to herself, if it weren't for such a thing, even she wouldn't know that there were so many relatives outside.
Mrs. Xu opened up again, and asked Xu Sibo's family to follow for breakfast: "The rice is here, it's enough to eat, come on, come on, what's this baby called?" Grandma hugs you to eat, everyone together. ”
The table was full of Tian Xin, who took the time to shout: "Bao, this small bag was specially given to you by your aunt, as if it was to wipe and change clothes." ”
Xiaoqin told her not to forget to bring it, saying that there were things to brush her teeth and wash her face, Tian Xin and her mother-in-law didn't brush it for a day, and since they went, they would bring it without trouble. There are also wiping your face and changing your socks.
When Xu Tianxin washed her face and brushed her teeth, the little daughter-in-law and several granddaughters always secretly watched her.
It made her a little embarrassed to rub it in, so she simply freshened up and went into the house.
What Xu Tianxin didn't know was that in fact, the eldest granddaughter had been holding back a sentence in her heart, that is: "I'll comb your hair?" I've got a good comb. ”
He wasn't embarrassed to say it until Tian Xin left, and his face was flushed.
But this does not affect the little girls of this family, and in the days to come, they will show off with many little sisters of Zhuangzi and say: "I have a relative in my family, who is called Xu Tianxin, she looks energetic, her body is fragrant, and her eyes are full of skin......
Xu Tianxin didn't eat with everyone, she first went to the back room to feed Zhao Di a bowl of white rice porridge.
Zhao Di spit out most of the bowl.
Xu Tianxin silently cleaned up Zhao Di's vomit, and wiped Zhao Di's face, hands and blood on the acupuncture points on her feet.
Afraid that it would affect everyone's eating, he replaced the pillowcase with vomit and soaked it in a basin of water, planning to wash it after eating for a while.
There is no way, Xu Tianxin can't let Grandpa Guan and her grandmother serve the patients, so they can only work as nurses themselves.
After Xu Tianxin and Zhao Di said a few words, they took two bowls of pimple soup to the Tai Milk House.
"Grandma, you wait, I'll eat first, and I'll be more patient to feed you after eating."
The old lady nodded, it made sense.
I saw my little great-granddaughter snoring and drinking pimple soup, and the one she ate was called a fragrant one, and after drinking it, she whispered to her: "It's sour, Aunt Meizhuang's pimple soup is doing well today." Grandma, I actually want to try this steamed bun, I always think they make it delicious. ”
The old lady was in a much more relaxed mood, thinking what is delicious, it is mixed with unpolished wheat, and it is not as delicious as meat buns if you put more white noodles. Wave your hand to get it.
Xu Tianxin tasted two bites of pancakes.
In the eyes of the old lady, the little great-granddaughter talked to herself while eating, and finally concluded that it was not delicious before starting to feed her.
The old lady was in a more relaxed mood, opened her mouth to cooperate with the little great-granddaughter to feed, and heard the chatter of everyone outside, as if yesterday had passed and today had a new atmosphere.
The old lady hesitated to swallow the pimple soup, and asked the little great-granddaughter vaguely in a breath voice.
Xu Tianxin didn't hear clearly, so he leaned in and asked, "What did you say?" ”
"I said, did you forget me? Why don't you come and show me the ribs. ”
Xu Tianxin laughed, "How could I forget you, you fell asleep in the middle of the night last night, and Grandpa Guan gave you a pulse." ”
He put down his job and checked it again, "Does it hurt here?" If it doesn't hurt only when you press it, then you have a fracture and don't hurt your internal organs. ”
Xu Tianxin continued to feed the old lady while explaining carefully:
"Ribs are different from other broken bones, because the rib cage is like a birdcage, and your ribs are bamboo sticks on the birdcage.
When you break two or split two of them, and you don't bruise the internal organs, you can actually use the whole cage because it is not deformed. Leave this fracture alone, it will grow in a month or two. ”
The old lady didn't dare to speak loudly, it hurt, and she wanted to make sure again, so she asked in a breathy voice: "The bird won't fly away, right?" ”
Xu Tianxin smiled and said: "No, when you go home, eat more crucian carp stewed tofu, the birds won't fly away, and I'll make it for you when you go home." ”
Xu Tianxin's words fell, and there was a sound of talking with Bai Muyan in Xujiazhuang outside.
"Brother and sister, are you familiar with Xiucaigong?"
Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "Yes, we are familiar, why are you here?" ”
Bai Muyan asked the scholar to put down the food box, looked at the dining table and said, "It seems that I am a step late, I came to visit the elders, and I heard that I am sick." ”
Mrs. Xu thought that it was the old lady who was visiting, so she didn't think much about it, and hurriedly let Bai Muyan sit. Li Zheng didn't leave either, and sat next to him.
The youngest great-grandson of Xu Tianxin's fourth grandfather's family saw that there were so many delicious foods, and Tong Yan was crying to discuss his grandfather: "Can you let grandma and Sister Tianxin stay for a few more days?" ”
Laughter could be heard from inside the room.
When Xu Tianxin came out with the empty bowl and opened the door curtain, Bai Muyan's eyes couldn't help but look at her immediately.
