Chapter 177: The Most Down-to-earth Happiness in the World!
The windows of the inner room were closed, the fire was burning, and the hot air on her face made Mrs. Wu a little uncomfortable, but she did not stop at her feet.
A middle-aged man leaned against the bedding, holding a book in his hand, but he was crooked to the side because of coughing.
This is exactly the perennial sick old man Wu, afraid of cold and wind, so he can only recuperate.
Mrs. Wu was angry and distressed, snatched the book and threw it aside, complaining, "Master, didn't the doctor say that you should close your eyes and recuperate, why are you secretly reading books again?" And the light in the house is so dark, don't have eyes? ”
Master Wu's face turned pale, making his originally somewhat handsome face even weaker, his slender fingers covered his mouth, and the green tendons on the back of his hand were clearly visible.
"Ahem," he replied with a reluctant smile, "I've just picked it up, and besides...... Ahem, I've listened to the doctor's advice for several years, and now I'm still half-dead, so don't listen to this doctor's advice! ”
A touch of pain flashed in Mrs. Wu's eyes, but she comforted her, "Nonsense, the doctor's advice is naturally to be listened to." And today I got a good fresh ginseng at home, and I have begun to use it in medicine. After you drink it, it will definitely be better than before. ”
Fresh ginseng?
Master Wu frowned and asked, "Hasn't the person who went to the old mansion in the south to get ginseng come back yet?" ”
Mrs. Wu regretted mentioning this and vaguely covered up the past.
It is said that there is no filial son in front of the bed of a long illness, but in fact, let alone a filial son, it is impossible for anyone to do it.
The husband is young and precocious, known as a prodigy, enlightened and reads, until he is only twenty-five years old, and has been praised by countless people, and is the pride and hope of the clan.
It's a pity that once he was plotted to fall ill and was bedridden for three years, not to mention continuing the scientific examination, it was difficult to take care of himself, and he was even critically ill for a time.
Later, the family donated countless sesame oil money, only to get the guidance of the monks, and came to the north, maybe he could save his life.
She was holding her pregnant belly at that time, accompanied her husband, and took her mother-in-law all the way to here and settled down.
The husband did save his life, but he still walked on the ground hopelessly.
Gradually, the clansmen lost confidence in their husbands, and even their father-in-law put their hopes on the concubine.
Nowadays, it is not a problem of not having ginseng, and I am afraid that the cost of daily supply will be cut off in the future......
Master Wu was also smart not to ask more, slowly lay down, closed his eyes, just for his wife's peace of mind.
When his wife went out, he slowly opened his eyes......
The old man took the children to sell ginseng, and the family was naturally worried.
It's not that I'm worried that ginseng won't sell, after all, everyone likes good things. It's really that Yang Lihua and others are afraid that some bad people will be interested in making money, so they intercept them halfway.
Fortunately, as soon as the sun approached the top of the western mountain, the carriage arrived home.
The big black horse whined excitedly, and the sesame balls sprang out of the yard.
Yang Lihua brought Chunhong from the backyard, Liu Dongniang took Erya out of the stove, Tai Yongning pushed open the window, and Tai Jizong helped pull the reins of the horse.
A large family reunited, unloading the truck and carrying the full basket into the house.
Pork belly, big bones, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, light summer cloth, boxes of dim sum......
Just looking at the things that were bought back greatly exceeded expectations, Yang Lihua and the others knew that the family had made a fortune again.
But no one asked, just asked the old and the young to wash up first and rest.
Zhuzhu held the chicken leg and gave the second brother a bite first, and then went to find her mother, aunt and uncle, and even Chunhong and Erya took a bite.
The last bone is, of course, given to the sesame balls!
The whole family of a chicken leg coax is smiling, it's not that everyone is hungry for meat, it's because of the fat girl's concern!
Liu Dongniang picked up the kitchen knife, jingled and chopped the dumpling filling, thinking about what green vegetables to mix.
As a result, the old man boldly ordered, "Second daughter-in-law, just wrap a bag of meat dumplings today, and you don't need to put vegetables." It's rare to be happy, everyone eats better. Remember to take you with a bowl of three uncles! ”
"Hey, got it, Dad!" Liu Dongniang happily responded, and quickly took out half of the meat that had been left behind, and chopped it all into meat puree.
Yang Lihua was scooping noodles, and she added an extra bowl when she heard this.
Spring red peeling onions, Er Ya burns the fire, and the kitchen is busy.
There are eleven people in the family, and making dumplings needs to be filled with four curtains, but Chunhong and Erya sisters work quickly, especially Erya, the first time to make dumplings is like a decent look, and they start quickly.
When the sun had completely set in the western mountains, water boiled in a large iron pot.
The white and chubby dumplings were like a flock of geese, and they jumped down and took a hot bath.
Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue had forgotten their frustration, and sat at the door with beads and beads, looking at the pot and swallowing saliva.
Although life at home is much better than before, I can always eat dumplings once a month.
But today's dumplings are a bag of meat, except for green onions, there are no other side dishes, as long as you think about it, it makes people feel happy.
It is rare for Yang Lihua not to pick up the children, and occasionally look at their gluttony, and can't help but smile.
When the dumplings were cooked, the first fence was put into a big pottery bowl, and Tai Jizu used his clothes to block the dust and quickly sent it to Tai Sanye.
Tai Sanye was also eating at home, and suddenly there was a big bowl of dumplings, and everyone was surprised.
Tai Sanye ate the first one, bit and dripped, and almost didn't make him fragrant!
His chopsticks went up and down, and finally he gave one to everyone in the family, and then half a bowl of dumplings was left......
A table was set up in the Tai family's hall, and today the oil lamp was discarded and the candle was lit instead, which was very bright.
Plates of dumplings were served, and they became more and more white and cute by the candlelight.
Everyone was reluctant to do it for a while, and watched quietly, bursting with happiness.
What glory, wealth, fame and fortune are too far away, the food in front of you, and the family sitting around are the most down-to-earth happiness!
Zhuzhu's small mouth was oily, and she hissed and inhaled from time to time because of the heat, but the chopsticks in her hand secretly pushed the dumpling skin aside and wanted to hide it quietly.
Tai Yongning ate four or five dumpling wrappers, and then replaced the bowl full of meat filling with his sister.
Zhuzhu shook her head happily, her big eyes were bent into crescents, and the two rows of small white teeth were as neat as rice grains......
In the stove room, Chunhong took Erya to sit by the pot, holding a bowl of dumplings by one person, and didn't move chopsticks for a long time.
Erya couldn't stop shedding tears, and she couldn't wipe them all.
"Sister, this is a dumpling...... Woo, I never dreamed of eating dumplings! ”
Chunhong also followed with red circles in her eyes, and whispered to persuade her, "Don't cry, you will eat a lot in the future." As long as we work hard and don't feel sorry for the sixth grandfather's family, we won't starve and freeze! You can come in this time, I begged my uncle, who has a good heart and is not afraid of causing trouble, but we can't be ungrateful and be those people without conscience! ”
"I know, big sister. I just thought we could just drink dumpling soup, woo, I didn't expect us to eat dumplings too......" Erya carefully picked up a dumpling and put it in her mouth, and then cried again.
"It's so delicious, woo, it's worth it for me to die right away. It's so delicious! ”
