Chapter 125: Emotions of Shame
"I'll go out and find something, don't come with me."
Hua Shi walked out of the knock on the back door, and before leaving, he didn't forget to turn his head and look at himself behind him, and said to the white fox and black cat who seemed to be eager to follow out.
"Meow ......"
Black Meow, who had long been unable to sit still, had just jumped to the ground when he heard Hua Shi's words, and screamed wiltingly.
When you want to set up the stove before it gets dark, and then start cooking comfortably, it is natural that you have no idle time to waste.
When she ran to the backyard to cut bamboo a few times before, she remembered that in the bamboo forest, there were several places, piled up with scattered broken stones, and she moved a few back, simply built a small stove, and used it first.
After the winter, build a better one.
She ran back and forth three times out of breath, and finally moved enough rocks.
Picking and choosing, the right stones, also delayed a lot of time, the sky was a little darker, and the howling wind and snow did not stop at all.
She squatted at the position of opening the back door, quickly set up a small stove, put the iron pot on it, and saw that it was just right, so she stopped adjusting it back and forth.
After tossing for so long, most of the time passed quietly.
The white fox and the black cat lying on the kang bed have already begun to wilt and droop, probably hungry......
There was no firewood and firecracks, so he quietly ran out again, hugged a large bundle of firewood, and Shun brought back the firecrackers in the kitchen.
There is more firewood in the small kitchen, and there is less, and it is estimated that the Li family will not notice.
After all, these firewoods are all Hua Xiao and Hua Li, who went out every few days and picked them up little by little, and the person who chopped the firewood was Hua Yu, not Li, she couldn't remember, and she probably didn't take it to heart, anyway, she didn't have to worry about it.
"......"
The firelight rose, and the sound of an oil pan exploding sounded in the dim and quiet house.
The white fox and the black cat, who were lying on the bed, stood up and cast a tight gaze in the direction of the sound in confusion.
When she was young, she first made some oil from lard, and there was no jar for it, so she used a cleaned and well-trimmed bamboo tube.
A sturdy wild boar does not have much fat on his body, and the fat is refined, and it is only half a bamboo tube.
She used the iron kitchen knife she bought to cut a large piece of fat and thin pork belly into slices, stir-fried the water on it with a pot, and when the meat turned red, she put it up again.
Pour all the washed rice and water into the cleaned pot, boil over high heat, wait until it is bubbling, pour the stir-fried pork into it, mix it with a piece and boil, and then cut some ginger slices to remove the fishy ......
Time passed minute by minute, and a large pot of simple lean porridge was quickly cooked.
She scooped up the dishes and chopsticks that she had brought back a long time ago, spoonful by spoonful, and divided them into the bowl.
The porridge with lean meat, which is boiled soft and rotten, gives off a pungent aroma......
I cleaned the pot again, put water in the pot when I spent it, and put a large piece of pork with skin and bones, and threw it into the pot, and then put the water and made a portion of boiled meat.
This large piece of boiled meat is made for Xiao Hei's three, the conditions are limited, and other tricks can't be made, so the simple boiled meat is improvised, and the stomach is full first.
"Gurgling ......"
Under the high heat, the water mixed with the large pieces of bone and meat, and it quickly boiled, and the noodles were turned several times until they were almost cooked, so they put salt and ginger slices in it.
When the pork is boiled, does it smell like the smell of the meat that makes people drool......
It's just the simplest way to do it, but who doesn't like the fragrant meat and bones.
The white fox and the black cat had already surrounded her, and they had been turning around several times in a hurry.
Obviously, she couldn't wait, if it weren't for her deterrent, these two guys, who were afraid of the pot soup, would have jumped directly onto the half-low stove.
"Meow ......"
Xiao Hei smelled the smell of gurgling meat, tilted her head back, and was so anxious that she began to scratch the upper of her shoes again.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine soon."
Although Hua Shi said that he was not in a hurry, he had already pulled out the firewood under the stove, extinguished the fire, and stirred the soup at the bottom of the pot with a simple bamboo spoon.
She washed the bamboo strips that had been scraped from the yard, and scooped up a large piece of pork that was steaming hot.
"Meow Meow Meow ......"
The greedy black cat, following her every move, the dark blue cat's eyes, followed around.
Regardless of the fact that it was just out of the pot, it was still hot and hot, so I used a kitchen knife to cut a few pieces of lean meat and put them one by one into the lean porridge bowl that had been cooled on the side.
Five bowls, each bowl is cut into two large slices, put in, fragrant glutinous porridge mixed with fragrant meat, looking at it is full of appetite.
After dividing the meat, Hua Shi chopped the large piece of pork bone meat into several pieces, put it in the bamboo strips, put it on the ground, and beckoned the two white foxes and black cats who had been impatient for a long time to come over.
"Okay, it's ready to eat, it's still a little hot......"
Before she could finish her words, the white fox and the black cat had already buried their heads and gnawed on them.
The heat couldn't stop them from eating......
"Woo ......"
The little white dog, forgotten in the corner, purred around and rolled out of the bamboo basket, making a tiny bark, trying to get Hanatoki's attention.
"Wang ......"
The milky bark, barked twice, opened his timid eyes, and quietly observed the little white dog when he was in the flower, and he wanted to step forward and stop, and tried it repeatedly.
"You come here too, I'll dry you a bowl of lean porridge."
Hua Shi heard the movement of the little white dog, walked over, picked up its back with one hand, and put it in front of the bowl of lean porridge that had been dried long ago.
This is the bamboo bowl for the kitten to drink, and she didn't have time to prepare a new bowl for the little white dog, so she washed it and used it to fill it with porridge.
She hasn't had a pet before, in fact, she can't tell how many months the little white dog has been, and looking at the little one, it should be less than a year.
So she didn't know if such a big puppy could eat porridge and meat, it should be weaned, otherwise it wouldn't be able to live......
When the little white dog was picked up, there was a moment of struggle and resistance, but when it was put in front of the fragrant and glutinous lean porridge bowl, it immediately quieted down again, sniffed its nose, and soon buried its head and ate happily.
The three guys were immersed in the joy of eating, and Hua Shi walked out of the house with a bowl of lean porridge in one hand.
"Knock Knock ......"
Two muffled knocks rang out at the door.
Hua Shi held a bowl and stood outside the door for a while, but no one came to open the door.
The hall is dark, and after working for so long, the sky is already dark, and I don't know if the flowers meet a few of them or not.
"Flower encounter? Little...? Are you up? ”
Hua Shi stood for a while, and when he saw that there was still no noise in the room, he leaned closer and asked in a low voice.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the room.
Rubbing his hazy sleepy eyes, Hua Li, who ran over to open the door, suddenly widened his eyes when he saw what Hua was holding in his hand.
"W-What is this?"
Hua Li subconsciously sniffed, and he seemed to ask about the aroma of meat.
"Here, you hold it carefully, and I'll go over and bring the other two bowls."
Hua Shi handed the bowl in his hand to Hua Li.
Hua Li was still in a state of semi-daze, and his hand subconsciously reached over and held the edge of the bowl.
"You? What are you holding in your hand? ”
Hua Xiao, who crawled out of the bed, rubbed her worried eyes, and vaguely saw that Hua Li, who came back, seemed to be holding something in her hand.
Hua Li swallowed his dry throat, "Yes, it's porridge." ”
His eyes widened, and he couldn't believe what he saw, and even wondered if he was wrong.
Inside that flat bowl, there are large pieces of meat, floating on the top, really... A big piece!
It's so fragrant......
Cowering in the corner of the wall, the little flower shadow who slept all over the place, sniffed, and smelled the fragrance of meat before he opened his eyes in a daze......
"Eat, eat... Target! ”
The little guy sat up with his head turned over, and in the dark, his eyes flashed brightly, and he suddenly locked on to the target, and looked at the thing Hua Li was holding in his hand.
Hua Xiao was stunned for half a second, then quickly rolled out of bed, put on her shoes, and walked to Hua Li.
When she got closer, not only did she see it clearly, but the smell of meat that came to her nose suddenly made her mouth overflow with saliva, and her hungry stomach also gurgled out.
"Again, she brought it to you...?"
There was almost no need to guess, Hua Xiao's mind immediately appeared Hua Shi's figure.
Hua Li nodded stunned.
Without waiting for him to say anything more, he stepped on the dim light and walked in slowly, holding two identical wooden bowls in his hands.
"Hey, you guys got up just right, this porridge is a little cold, it's just right to eat now."
The wooden bowl landed on the wooden table with a soft bumping sound.
On the kang bed, a swaying figure got up, his feet fell to the ground silently, and he stepped on a sluggish step.
There was a "click" sound, and the dusty oil lamp was lit, and the hazy light barely illuminated the entire house.
A pair of bloodshot eyes were also suddenly exposed to the light.
Hua Shi was startled by the young man's gloomy expression and depressed eyes.
"Hua Yu, are you still very uncomfortable?"
Hua Shi subconsciously lowered his voice and asked softly.
Hua Yu lifted her heavy eyelids and looked at her, her eyes were so indifferent that she had no emotion.
“… It's nothing.... ”
He hadn't spoken for too long, and his voice was dry, as if his voice had been cut by the wind, and he said word by word.
It is said that people are the most vulnerable when they are sick, but when teenagers are the most vulnerable, they seem to have erected a high wall for themselves, and they have never exposed any weak emotions.
demeanor, eyes, manners...... Alienated and aloof......
"You eat slowly, I'm leaving, remember to wash the dishes and chopsticks and put them back in place."
After Hua Shi said casually, he stepped on the dark shadow and disappeared at the door of the room.
The air in the small, dark yellow house was silent for a few moments, and no one said anything more.
"Smack......
Until a muffled sound of falling to the ground broke the strange atmosphere.
Xiaohuaying pulled his two hands and pushed the quilt away from his body, he wanted to turn over and get out of bed by himself, but his butt didn't sit firmly, the bed was too high, and his legs were too short, so he didn't reach the ground, so he leaned back on his front half, his center of gravity was unstable, and he fell to the ground with a bang.
The little guy who fell to the ground turned over and sat up, twisting his confused head, and when he fell, he didn't cry or make a fuss.
A pair of big round eyes, but all of a sudden, they locked on the wooden bowl that Hua Li was holding in his hand.
Delicious and fragrant...... It's floating out of the wooden bowl......
The little guy supported himself with both hands, and did not need to be helped, he got up numbly, did not wear shoes, stepped on the cold soil, and a pair of little feet were frozen red, as if he didn't feel it.
He trotted over, holding his hands, blinking his big watery eyes, and talking with his milk,
"Brother... Brother, food... I! ”
is not a complete sentence, but it can make people understand his meaning at once.
Hua Li was stunned, handed the bowl in his hand to him, and did not forget to whisper,
"You hold it yourself, be careful, if you fall, it's gone."
"Uh-huh..."
After getting the things in his heart, the little radish head, who was obviously very satisfied, was rarely willing to nod his head in response.
Hua Xiao walked in the direction of the wooden table, the wooden table was a little tall for her, so she stepped on her feet, reached out and hooked the edge of the wooden bowl, held it in her hand, and handed it to the second brother behind her.
"Second brother..., are you okay?"
Her words were a little uneasy, and the wooden bowl she was holding was handed over, but with a careful flattery.
The second brother's expression was too cold, and he couldn't tell if he was angry......
The sensitive little girl, vaguely felt, as if she was with... Flowers are related to ......
She didn't seem to hate Hua Shi so much, but after suddenly seeing the indifferent look of her second brother, her heart turned over again, and an indescribable emotion surged up...... Complex? Mortified? Saddened? ……
She didn't know, but... How could she forget that the second brother's lame leg was because of the time!
Hua Yu's unwavering expression still hasn't changed much, "Didn't I say it, it's okay?" ”
His voice was flat, and he looked at her with a look that was indifferent.
Hua Xiao lowered her head and suppressed the complicated emotions that came to her heart......
