"No more private rooms?" Shen Sui followed.

"Second Uncle Haizhu has difficulty moving."

"Also, I almost forgot."

The group sat down, and Xiao Er moved a screen to cover the people here. When Xiao Er left, Haizhu asked, "Sixth brother, have you married my sixth sister-in-law?" ”

Shen Sui smiled bitterly, shook his head and said no, "I'm still grinding with my family, I was still telling Han Ji just now, let him transfer me to Fucheng, and I married Qingman back to live in Fucheng after the year." ”

"Your mother is still not happy?" Haizhu asked.

Shen Sui sighed, "That's it, don't talk about it, it's a bad person's appetite." ”

After serving, Changsheng looked at the dishes served by Xiao Er, in addition to the meat, he only recognized crabs and shrimps, and he couldn't help but ask Fengping: What are the legs that have a lot of legs, what are the shells with small shells called, what are the steamed fish called, what kind of fish are the fried fish with thin strips, and what kind of snails are the snails in the soup......

"Second uncle, can we stay for one more day?" Changsheng ate octopus foot and asked, "My aunt said she would make something delicious tomorrow." ”

Han Ji glanced at Haizhu, nodded and said okay.

"You come over at noon tomorrow, I'll bring two smoked deer legs back, and stew one tomorrow." Haizhu said to Shen Sui.

"Okay, please eat, I bring my own wine, my father got two jars of good wine during the New Year, and I will move one jar over."

After a meal, it was already dark, and when he left the restaurant, Xiao Er sent a lantern, Qi Laosan wanted to push his second brother, so he asked Bei Niang to hold the lantern to illuminate, he advised: "You walk slowly at night, be careful of falling." ”

"I'll push my second uncle, third uncle, you go and help my third aunt." Haizhu walked over, she waved to the two people on the steps, "I'll go back first, remember to come over for dinner tomorrow at noon, I won't invite you." Do you want to go back with me? Sleep with the trend at night, and your second uncle will come over tomorrow. ”

Changsheng looked up at his second uncle, Han Ji glanced at him and said, "Whatever you want." ”

Changsheng immediately jumped down the stone steps, and he walked up to Fengping with some excitement and said, "I haven't slept in someone else's house yet." ”

"Go to bed early at night and don't be mischievous." Han Ji instructed, and he raised his feet and took Shen Sui to the boat.

After walking for a while, he turned around and chased after him, and when he was about to enter the alley, he chased Haizhu and his group, and he reminded: "Don't forget to boil medicine at night, I have prepared a ten-day amount for you, and I will count you to drink one less meal." ”

"What medicine?" Grandma Qi asked.

"Warm medicine, Haizhu's body is cold, the imperial doctor prescribed her medicine, old lady, you keep an eye on her, and boil a bowl of medicine for her after every meal."

Haizhu was impatient and waved him away, "I know, I know, you hurry up, talk a lot." ”

Shen Sui leaned against the tree and stared at the scene in front of him, seeing Haizhu's family walk into the alley, he looked away and stared at Han Ji, and said thoughtfully: "Brother, I think something is wrong with you." ”

"What's wrong?" Han Ji turned around and walked towards the dock.

"You and Haizhu ...... Hmm......" he frowned, "could it be my brother's responsibility?" You seem to care too much about her, and you told her to drink medicine, but my mother didn't treat me so carefully. ”

"On the way back to Beijing, we were stunned and thrown into the river, Haizhu saved me, the weather in the north was cold, she was frostbitten, and the cold in her body was also heavy."

Shen Sui understood now, "It's also strange, she saved my second brother, and also called you to call your second brother, and then saved you, the second in line is fateful." ”

Han Ji: ......

What mess?

……

Early the next morning, after Haizhu drank the medicine boiled by Grandma Qi, she frowned and scooped up the deer legs soaked in the bucket, scraped off the black ash on the flesh skin with a knife, and then brought a bone chopping knife and a hammer to chop the bones on the ground.

The deer's legs were chopped into three sections, Haizhu scooped water into the pot, she looked out, and said, "Third aunt, you can help me watch the fire later, I will go to the sea to catch shrimp, crabs and octopuses and come back." ”

Bei Niang nodded.

The deer leg was put in the pot, Haizhu wrapped the ingredients in a white cloth and threw it into the pot, the deer leg was pickled, she didn't add salt, covered the pot and untied her apron and walked out.

When she went out and met Qi Laosan coming back from fetching water, she said hello, and then said to a few babies who were skipping rope in the alley: "I went out to fish, Dongzhu, don't forget to go to Hongshi Village to call your mother over." ”

"Aunt, can I go with you?" Longevity asked.

Haizhu waved his hand, "You have more opportunities to go to sea in the future, don't worry, I'll be back in a while." "His life was too precious for her to take him out to sea.

Because she had to prepare meals, Haizhu didn't stay at sea for long, she went to the sea and caught more than 20 crabs, more than 10 shrimps, a grouper and a red snapper, and the baby octopus born in early autumn last year had grown to half a palm, so she caught a little more.

When the fishing boat returned to shore, he saw a clump of seaweed on the sea, and when he fished it up, he found that there was a cauliflower, and Haizhu simply sat on the board of the boat and selected the cauliflower first.

When she got home, Han Ji had already come over, and Haizhu saw him carrying a machete to chop wood with great energy, she put down her net and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Chopping wood."

"I see, I mean you're so idle?"

"Yes, I'm idle, you can say it if you can use it."

Haizhu snorted lightly, she went into the kitchen to carry hot water to the bathroom, and when she came out with her wet hair, she saw him sitting with her milk and brushing the crab shell, she moved her mouth, not knowing what to say.

"Did you buy the pork belly?" She simply didn't see it.

"I bought it, it was washed, and it was in a basin." Grandma Qi said, "The onions and garlic were peeled and washed. ”

Haizhu went into the kitchen and took a turn, opened the lid of the pot and poked the meat with chopsticks, but she couldn't poke it, she covered the pot and sat in the yard to dry her hair.

"Haizhu, are you back?" Qin Jingniang walked in, "I heard Dongzhu say that you only came back last night?" Went to Kyoto? ”

"Well, what about Pingsheng?"

"Play outside." Qin Jingniang put the fried peanuts and fried melon seeds bought on the road on the table, she opened the oiled paper package to the second uncle Qi's hand, and said, "Second brother, you have just eaten melon seeds, just out of the pot." ”

After that, she rolled up her sleeves and went to help brush the crabs and kill the fish.

Haizhu grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and her hair dried out after eating, she pulled up her hair and went into the kitchen to cut meat, sliced pork belly marinated in green onions, ginger and soy sauce, and the stewed deer legs in the pot were scooped up and cut into chopstick-thick slices with a knife.

"How do you get the fish?" Qin Jingniang came in with two fish, "Steamed? Your grandmother said that you want to make grilled fish, why don't I cut the meat, you go get the fish. ”

"Okay." Haizhu handed over the knife and took the fish, and shouted out: "Third uncle, you shovel out the coals in the stove for me." ”

"I'll get it?" Han Ji answered the phone quickly.

"You won't get it, don't burn you." Haizhu glanced at him and said, "You bring me the green thatch at the door." ”

A spade of charcoal was poured under the root of the wall, Haizhu brought a tripod for smoking fish, green grass covered the coals, and red snapper was cut in half and spread out to smoke.

The smoke with the smell of grass astringency billowed over the courtyard wall and floated out, and Dongzhu ran back and said, "Sister, I'll smoke the fish, and you go to do something else." ”

"Where's Fengping?" Haizhu went out and shouted, "Fengping, come back and burn a fire for me." ”

"Oh." Fengping ran home, as soon as he left, Chaoping and Pingsheng also walked back, put down the mud man he pinched for a long time, and followed upside down.

The tandoor made a fire, the venison was sliced and stacked in a large clay pot, the broth and rice wine were poured two scoops each to drown the meat, Haizhu went into the house to cut a section of dried bonito and threw it into the clay pot, and finally added two spoonfuls of salt to slowly cook.

"The octopus is cleaned up, and the cauliflower is cleaned." Grandma Qi stood up with her waist on her back, "You want to make cold powder, right?" I'll take it to the next yard and cook it. ”

"Okay, it's better to have a lot of people, otherwise I won't be able to do it alone." Haizhu sighed, she moved out of the iron plate and iron frame, the peanut tahini that was fried last year was not bad, and it became more and more mellow after half a year, so she scooped two bowls and put them aside.

When Qi Laosan saw this posture, he went into the kitchen to change Fengping out, and said, "You go out to light the fire for your sister, and I will watch the fire here." ”

Feng Ping pinched a branch that was bubbling with flames and went out to start a fire, the iron plate had not been used for some days, he first burned the rust off the fire, and then poured oil, the first oil was not needed, and it was all scraped into the fire.

Changsheng sat on the small bench and looked at him with shining eyes, and he admired: "Fengping, you are so capable!" ”

Feng Ping curled the corners of his mouth and smiled, "When you come over next time, I'll treat you to a pancake, I'll make it myself." ”

"My house is fun, isn't it? Do you want to stay at my house and don't go back? Haizhu brought the smoked fish over, she took a brush dipped in oil to brush the fish skin, the cracked fish skin was moistened with oil and spread on the iron plate, she looked up and asked, "How are you thinking about longevity?" In the morning, follow Fengping to set up a stall on the street to sell cakes, go to a private school to study in the afternoon, and let him take you to the beach to catch the sea when the tide recedes in the evening. ”

Changsheng shook his head, "I want to go back to practice martial arts, and I have to go to patrol ships and seas on behalf of my grandfather, and go to the navy with my second uncle to train soldiers, I can't play all the time." But you can follow me back to Fucheng, so that I can meet Fengping every day. ”

Han Ji smiled secretly, thinking that it was really his good nephew.

"You ask Fengping if he is willing." Haizhu said.

Fengping also shook his head, "I'm not going." ”

The octopus was grilled on the iron plate and splashed with oil, and the sea bead opened and pressed the curly octopus foot with a shovel.

Qin Jingniang cut the tofu and brought it out, and asked, "Are the shrimp and crab steamed?" And that grouper, I'm going to steam it on the fire now? ”

"Okay." Haizhu glanced out and said, "What's the matter with Shen Sui?" Why haven't you come yet? If he doesn't come again, we won't wait for him. ”

"I'll go take a look." Han Ji went out.

As soon as he stepped into the door of Shen's house, he heard Shen Sui talking, his voice was full of anger and exhaustion, he didn't want to get involved in his family affairs, so he stopped in time and let his subordinates report it.

After a while, the sound of eager footsteps was getting closer and closer, Shen Sui came from the side courtyard, his face was full of frustration, and when he saw Han Ji, he smiled bitterly and said, "It's thanks to you that I'm here, otherwise I won't be able to get out." ”

"What's going on?" Han Ji walked out with his hands behind his back.

"There is a cousin at home, she is an unassertive person, she listens to my mother's words, and keeps pestering me, saying that she wants to marry me, and she will follow me wherever I go." Shen Sui shook his head, "You're going back to Fucheng tomorrow, right?" I'll go with you. ”

"Then your marriage ......"

"Let's talk about it." He just wants to stay away from home now.

As soon as he turned into the bluestone alley, he smelled the aroma of barbecue, Shen Sui followed Han Ji into the door, and the laughter in the courtyard poured into his ears, and his mind was dull for a moment.

"What are you doing with a sad face? Sit down, I'll be waiting for you. Haizhu shoveled the octopus on the plate, handed it to Bei Niang, and then took the pork belly and spread it on the iron plate.

Shen then cheered up and said, "I have to go back again, I forgot to bring wine." ”

"Come on, we're full when you come and go, and I have wine at home." Haizhu made a sound to stop it.

Grilled octopus, grilled pork belly, fried tofu, venison soup, steamed crab, steamed shrimp, steamed fish, grilled fish, and cold stone flower jelly were served one after another, and a table was full.

"Eat whatever you want, take what you want, eat your own food, in the yard and in the alley, you can eat, walk, sit, eat, run, eat." Haizhu stretched out her hand to take a bowl of rice wine, she took a sip of rice wine to relieve her oiliness, and said, "Everyone, please." ”

This battle is most liked by children, they walk and eat with bowls, sit and eat, laughing haha. Children don't make a fuss, adults are relaxed, and everyone sits comfortably and freely.

Haizhu served three bowls of venison soup, a plate of octopus and barbecue, a plate of tofu, four or five shrimps and crabs, and called Han Ji and Shen Sui to go to the next yard to eat alone.

"Tell me, what's going on? Look at your unhappy face. Haizhu asked Shen Sui while prying the crab shell.

"The marriage is not going well, and he is rebelling against his father." Han Ji looked at Shen Sui like an eggplant beaten by frost, and was glad that his father and mother were still open-minded.

Chapter 135: Leave Me Alone, I'm Crazy

"My father and mother don't agree with me marrying Qingman, and want me to marry my cousin, but she has no opinion, and is at the mercy of my mother." Shen Sui took a sip of rice wine, one sip was half a bowl, he sighed and said: "It's terrible, if I don't marry a wife, I won't do what my father and mother want, they don't treat me as a person." In front of Haizhu and Han Ji, he didn't have any scruples, lowered his eyes and said: "I suddenly found that in the eyes of my parents, I may be a breeder, family background, status, money, these matches, and they pushed me out." They didn't think about what I thought, they didn't care if I wanted to or not, I was like a dish on the table, anyone could carry a chopstick, and anyone could judge whether it was good or bad. ”

Haizhu put down the crab legs, she didn't comment on his father's behavior, thought about it and said, "You can't marry your cousin, and the child you have is not afraid of being a fool." ”

"Why do you say that?" Han Ji was surprised, "My eldest brother just married my cousin, and he is not stupid to live a long life."

Shen Sui was also puzzled, "Where did you hear this statement?" It is common for cousins to get married. ”

"It doesn't matter where I heard about it, believe me, you think, isn't it stupid for cousins to be more sick when they become biological children? Many died young. Haizhu couldn't come up with a scientific basis, so he had to tell Shen Sui not to marry his cousin.
