Chapter Twenty-Eight: Four Years Old

"Mianniang is here!"

"Why don't you stay with Zhuang Zhuang in the house, he just arrived at our house, you have to accompany him to make him feel at ease." Lee's hand with nowhere to put wiped and wiped on his shirt.

Tang Mian pretended not to see Li's embarrassment, "Mother, it's okay, Zhuang Zhuang is very well-behaved and smart, he understands it in his heart." Besides, I spent a lot of time with him this day. ”

"Did Daddy go to the field again?" Tang Mian diverted the topic, wanting to alleviate Li's embarrassment.

Li cleared his throat and nodded, "Hmm." The rice is ready to be harvested, and he has to run into the field several times a day to feel at ease. ”

"When he comes back later, I will tell him the good news that Zhuang Zhuang called your mother, and he will definitely be happier than me." Speaking of this, Li's eyebrows and eyes were full of joy.

"Hmm." The corners of Tang Mian's raised lips also showed her good mood.

After walking to the cupboard, he took off another piece of clothing sewn from broken cloth and wrapped it around his body, then turned around and walked to the stove to take the spatula in Li's hand, "Mother, I'll come, you can rest for a while." ”

Li didn't refuse, "Okay, I'll go see the fire." ”

A loofah soup is boiling in a pot, and a bowl on the stove is filled with minced meat mixed with ginger.

Tang Mian washed his hands, coated the meat foam with starch, and then kneaded it into a small ball and put it in the pot to cook with the loofah.

After finishing all the meat foam, Tang Mian picked up the spatula and arched it in the pot to prevent it from sticking.

While cooking, Tang Mian took the bowl containing the meat foam and went to the water tank to fetch water to clean it.

This is the only big bowl in the house, which will be used for loofah meatball soup later.

Another large bowl with a strong decoction.

When the meatballs are cooked, the loofah is also soft. Tang Mian picked up the big spoon and scooped the loofah meatball soup into the big bowl.

"The leaves of the wild vegetables in the basket have also been fried." Li Shi said when he saw Tang Mian make loofah soup.

Tang Mian brought the loofah soup to the dining table and said hello after it cooled.

Pick up the water scoop and scoop a scoop of water to wash the pot, wait for the pot to burn hot, put a little lard in it and slide it down the pot, then pour in the wild vegetable leaves, add a little water and stir-fry quickly, until the wild vegetable leaves are cooked and stir-fried.

"Mother, do you have any more dishes to do?" After frying the wild vegetable leaves, Tang Mian asked.

Li withdrew the unburned firewood, "No." When your father comes back, we'll eat." ”

"Hmm." Tang Mian answered, scooped water and cleaned the pot.

Li patted the wood ash on his shirt and got up to wash his hands. When the house was first built, a well was dug outside the stove house, and it was convenient to pour water.

Li washed his hands and turned around, Tang Mian had already set the dishes and chopsticks, and Lu Zheng was also returning home at this time.

"Old man, I'll tell you good news, Zhuang Zhuang has agreed." As soon as Lu Zheng entered the door, Li greeted him with a smile.

Lu Zheng's face was happy, "Hahaha, it's good." ”

In the future, there will be a child's voice at home, and she will be raised well, and Mianniang will have to rely on when she is old.

"I'll go to the patriarch's house and tell him about the family tree."

Li Shi glared at him lightly, "What are you panicking about, the food is on the table, eat first." ”

Tang Mian also stepped forward and persuaded: "Dad, don't worry about this moment." ”

"Okay, okay, let's eat first, and then we'll go after eating." Lu Zheng smiled and walked to the stove room.

Li Shi stared at his back angrily, and then turned his head and said to Tang Mian gently: "Mianniang, Zhuang Zhuang has only eaten poached eggs not long ago, you eat first, and then serve it to him after eating." ”

Tang Mian responded with a hello.

The three of them happily sat down at the table, feeling that today's meal was extraordinarily fragrant.

"Old man, how is the rice today? When do you think you will be able to receive it? Li asked as he ate.

Lu Zheng slowly swallowed the soup in his mouth and said, "It's almost, you can accept it now." However, I still want to wait for the rice to grow for a few more days, and the harvest will be better when it is older. Anyway, looking at the sky, it doesn't look like it's going to rain in the past two days. ”

After hearing this, Tang Mian thought, it really won't rain, and the previous life was only harvested a few days later.

"Okay. Then wait two more days, just in time for these two days to pack up the buckets. ”

Lu Zheng nodded.

Tang Mian then said: "Dad, Zhuang Zhuang said that he wanted to take a new name, and I wanted you to take it." ”

Lu Zheng's eyes lit up, "Hahaha, okay." Mianniang, you tell the little guy that grandpa will come up with a good name for him. ”

"yes, okay."

The family finished eating, and it was already halfway through lunch.

"Mianniang, you take the food that was packed separately just now for Zhuang Zhuang to eat, and I'll clean it up here." Li got up and put away the dishes and chopsticks and said.

Tang Mian nodded, "I'll go now." ”

"You two take it slowly, I'll go to the patriarch's house." Lu Zheng said with a smile and touching his beard.

Li Shi frowned and looked at him, and said, "You have to go at noon, the patriarch's family may be eating at this time!" Besides, you can't go empty-handed, can you? ”

Lu Zheng waved his hand, "No, the patriarch has always only eaten two meals a day." I still have some tobacco leaves there, and the patriarch will take a sip of it, and I'll send it to him. ”

"Don't talk about it, I'll go back to the room and get tobacco leaves to the patriarch's house."

After speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Li and Tang Mian to look at his back helplessly.

"Mother, I'll go back to the room first." Tang Mian said with the food.

Li waved his hand, "Go ahead." ”

When Tang Mian pushed open the door, Zhuang Zhuang was sitting on the bed pinching his fingers and smirking.

"Strong."

Zhuang Zhuang pinched his fingers for a moment, and looked at Tang Mian with a smile, "Mother." ”

Tang Mian walked into the house with a bowl and sat on the edge of the bed, "Your hand is injured, my mother feeds you." ”

"Uh-huh." Zhuang Zhuang nodded like a chicken pecking rice, opening its small mouth and waiting to feed.

It's so nice to be a mother!

Tang Mian fed the whole bowl of rice spoonful by spoonful.

Zhuang Zhuang touched his slightly bulging belly and burped in satisfaction.

At that house, he couldn't remember when he had eaten.

I came here to eat three meals, and all three meals were full.

Not only did he eat enough, but he also had meat, and he also ate two eggs today, he was so happy!

Tang Mian put down the bowl and gently wiped his mouth, "My mother has already told your grandfather about choosing a name, and grandpa said that he must give Zhuang Zhuang a good name." ”

"Wow! Then I'll have a good name soon! Zhuang said with sparkling eyes.

"Yes." The corners of Tang Mian's lips curled slightly, "Zhuangzhuang, there is another thing, my mother wants to ask you, what is your birthday, and then your grandparents and mother-in-law will give you your birthday." ”

The little one fell silent for a moment.

"What's wrong? Don't you know your birthday? Tang Mian was a little surprised.

"Yes." Zhuang Zhuang was not in a high mood and said in a low voice.

The little guy's wilting appearance, Tang Mian instantly understood.

Distressedly, he hugged him into his arms, "If you don't want to say it, my mother won't ask in the future." ”

Zhuang Zhuang was silent for a moment and said, "Mother, I already passed my fourth birthday last month. However, I want to live yesterday's birthday in the future, can I? ”

"Yes, yes, naturally." Tang Mian touched his sturdy little head with pity.

"Your birthday is July 19, and you are four years old this year."
