19 The waterside drifter
Shi Xing took Shu to Han's house, and sent Han Xin back by the way. Han Chuan didn't say much, accepted the obviously more mushrooms, and promised to ask Han Xin to send them over again when they were ready tomorrow.
After sending Shi Xing away, Han Chuan was ready to scoop rice, so Han Xin squatted in front of the mortar to scoop rice, and Han Wu was driven aside by him to write on the ground, and he was going to take the test later.
Han Chuan asked about the syrup just now, and Han Xin said that the Shi family also liked this thing, and Uncle Cang's Shi Qian almost cried because of the small share. Han Wu was inattentive in his writing, eavesdropping on their conversations, so happy that he dropped his stick and shouted loudly: "Brother take me there, I will be ashamed and cunning." Han Xin ignored him and told him to write seriously.
Han Chuan said: "Your uncle sent Shu over today, please let me help make some tomorrow." In fact, why bother so much, his family just makes his own. ”
Han Chuan didn't mean to cherish the broom, only the other thing he named the milk, and he wondered if he could exchange it for some money.
As for the soybean pulp, the preparation method is simple, and no matter how clumsy it is, it will be enough to try it a few times. The only thing is that the stone grinding costs a lot, but my uncle's family is a craftsman, and it takes a little more time to find a stone to do it yourself, and it is nothing.
And the two families are related, so they really don't have time to grind, so they come to borrow it during the day, Shi Xing has helped him do so many day jobs, of course he has to repay this favor.
The milk is served when it is served. Lu didn't cook exactly according to the Tianshu recipe, because she didn't have many seasonings in the recipe, and the cooking method was a little difficult to see. So she only relied on her own cooking experience to mix the soy milk with sauce and stir it up, and it was a bowl of dishes.
She was afraid that she would eat cold and hurt her stomach when it was cold, so she put the bowl in hot water and warmed it. Then he cut it into pieces and added water, and dug up the radish from the vegetable field, cut it into pieces, and put it together with the milk. Then add some salt, add some small fish and shrimp caught by Han Chuan, cook them in a clay kettle until now, pour them into a clay pot and steam, and feel warm and ironed when you look at them in winter.
Rao is Han Xin seems to have eaten and used a lot of good things in the chaotic dream, and today he has gained a lot of knowledge from morning to night, and he has met food that he has never seen before.
But other than that, even though it was cold, Lin Lu still couldn't resist the temptation of that simple cold dish and reproduced it.
Han Xin saw that his parents had moved his chopsticks, so he also dug up a spoonful of the cold milk and put it in his mouth. Strangely, this soy milk doesn't seem to have any taste, but when mixed with sauce, it reveals a unique flavor in addition to the strong flavor of the sauce, and it is smooth in the mouth, which is much better than just eating sauce.
As he was savoring it, Han Chuan scooped a spoonful of soup to his lips and said with a smile: "Eat less cold." Drink something hot and taste it. ”
He opened his mouth to drink, and sure enough, he also tasted the faint and non-negligible sweetness of the milk, and the freshness of the fish and shrimp, and the spice of the radishes, he subconsciously felt that it was more delicate, enough to serve the princely case as a delicacy.
Han Chuan and Lin Lu themselves were actually shocked, they just read the recipes given by the Book of Heaven, but after all, they had never seen food, how could they have imagined that they would be so delicious. Lin Lu had already tasted the soup when he was cooking, and he was also burying his head in his hands at this time, and from time to time he stopped his two sons from eating more cold dishes, and scooped out the milk radish to Han Xin and Han Wu, telling them to eat more.
The milk is smooth and tender, and several people have not practiced the ability to pick it up with chopsticks, Han Chuan used chopsticks to clip it a few times, and sandwiched a piece of milk to pieces, and he couldn't scoop it up, so he had to change the spoon to scoop it.
Han Wu was originally a spoon and was extremely skilled, defeating his parents and brother in this field. His small spoon swung fast, he ate too quickly and burned his tongue, he held it and refused to throw it away, whined and shook his head, and was patted on the back by Han Xin and shouted in annoyance: "Spit it out!" I won't rob you again! ”
There is still a small half in the kettle, the first time I did it, the reed did not count, the amount of it was a little embarrassing, the family ate too much, and wanted to send some to my aunt's house and less. Han Chuan saw that his wife was embarrassed, and said, "My brother-in-law sent me a lot of mushrooms, and I will make it again tomorrow." Today's ......" He was about to say that he would hold on again today and divide the soup, when Han Xin suddenly stood up and saluted: "Father, I want to send this milk soup to Aunt Xu in Luzuo." ”
"Sister-in-law Xu?" Han Chuan repeated and nodded, this is the benefactor who saved Han Xin, so he naturally wants to be rewarded. Her lover Chen Yu has been farming in her own house, and the two families don't have this kindness, and the relationship is not bad.
Lin Lu also nodded: "It's time to go, I'll take it out, can you send it yourself?" Han Xin has also grown up, and Lin Lu feels that it is more meaningful to let the children personally send gifts to thank them. When he was a child, he took him to thank him, but he may not remember it.
Han Xin knew that his parents were talking about running away from home when he was a child and being brought back by Sister-in-law Xu, but he didn't just do it for this.
He lowered his eyes, looked at Han Wu who was still trying to drink soup and eat milk with a little hesitation, and felt that Ah Di should not understand and would not talk nonsense, so he said: "In my dream, I am going to starve to death, and Aunt Xu has also helped me, I remember it very clearly." ”
Lin Lu opened his mouth to speak, but was silent. What kind of situation did the Han family end up in his son's dream, and did the child need the relief of the Luzuo family to survive?
"Aunt Xu saw that I was hungry and couldn't find anything to eat, so she shared it with me many times. I was weak in my dream and couldn't reciprocate, and today I got this delicacy at home, so I wanted to give it to Aunt Xu so that she could also taste it. ”
Han Chuan shouted, "Zhi'en Tubao, this is my Han family." "Immediately take the crockpot and let Han Xin send it over by himself.
Han Xin hugged the crockpot and walked towards Lu Zuo Chen's house. This time, Han Wu still ran out with him, jumping up and down beside him, Han Xin shouted: "Ah Wu, walk well." "I just ate and jumped so much, "Be careful that your intestines are broken!" ”
Han Wu walked obediently and stopped jumping. He slept with Han Xin as long as he could remember, and his brother took him when he dressed and ate, although he was a little naughty, but he listened to Han Xin's words very much.
"Brother, when did Aunt Xu give you food, why don't I know?" He asked curiously.
Han Xin was speechless, he didn't avoid him just now, but he still let him hear and remember, so he could only say perfunctorily: "I met it when I went out by myself, but I didn't bring it back, you don't know." ”
Han Wu didn't believe it: "I'll follow you." You have given it to me. ”
Han Xin couldn't help a child with a good memory, and began to use his brother's authority and the child's privilege to play tricks: "You are young, you don't remember eating, I remember." ”
Han Wu was aggrieved and whispered, "I definitely remember." ”
The more he said, the more wrong he became, Han Xin insisted that he hadn't eaten it or that he had forgotten it, so he didn't tell him more.
These days, Han Xin has actually been thinking about the things he dreamed of, and he doesn't know if it's really an illusion. But both father and mother seem to take it seriously, and he should take it seriously, and try to remember the dreams that still appear from time to time.
Except for the books he read in the dream, which were very familiar, he was really vague about other things, and he didn't even know what he died in the dream for, and he didn't know what he had done. Those who have eaten are more impressed.
I don't remember many things very clearly, and everything in Huaiyin is relatively profound. Especially the rice balls sent when he was hungry, he remembered Aunt Xu for the year, and even had an impression of her family's affairs.
Just like Lin Lu who became fierce in his dream, Xu Chun is not the same in his dream as in reality. His hair was much whiter, his waist was slightly rickety, and his face was full of wrinkles. He didn't remember why he was so hungry, but he remembered what Sister-in-law Xu scolded him.
When I woke up, I forgot where they met them, and I forgot many details. But the hunger pang was so vivid that it remained. At the same time, there seems to be the fragrance of the wild vegetable rice ball between the lips and tongue.
For a while, it was mixed with the memory of feeding him rice balls when Sister-in-law Xu brought him back when he was a child, so he really couldn't tell it clearly.
He was also a little at a loss as to what to do in the future. Fortunately, my father and mother are here, so it's good to listen to them.
He is in Huaiyin, and if he doesn't go anywhere, he doesn't believe that there are still people who have to destroy his three clans.
You don't have to think about those things in your dreams.
However, his father and mother have taught him, but the kindness must be remembered, even if it is the kindness in the dream, not to mention that Aunt Xu has indeed saved him now. Looking up at the house where even the gate was in tatters and had not been repaired for a long time, Han Xin took a breath and went over to knock on the door.
"Who?" It was Chen Yu who answered the door.
Chen Yu opened the door and lowered his head, and saw two children, one of the older ones holding a crockpot at the door, and his first reaction was to ask for food.
One of them is bold and the other is kind-hearted, although their family is so poor that they make a living by farming and rinsing, but when they meet the kind of orphans and widows, they still can't help but help but give a relief. After a long time, there were really hungry children quietly knocking on his door.
But in an instant, after seeing the people clearly, Chen Yu hurriedly let them in, and said with a smile: "Why did your father ask you to send things?" ”
He was hired by the Han family, and he also had the friendship of host and guest, Han Chuan sometimes cooked meat at home, and would also scoop some soup and bring some bones and minced meat over. But it was the first time to ask Han Shin to run errands.
So Chen Yu didn't think much about it, and naturally beckoned Han Xin and Han Wu in: "It seems that the first year is approaching, and your father thinks that you are too old to dare to ask you to do things." Come, eat something and go. ”
Han Xin couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, Uncle Chen and Aunt Xu have the same temperament.
Just as he was about to speak, Xu Chun also came out to see, and when he saw that it was him, he also greeted: "What are you doing in a daze, come in and talk." ”
"Aunt Xu, my family has made a good soup, and my father and aunt asked me to send some for you to taste." Han Xin handed over the crockpot with both hands and said respectfully.
"Ouch, I've heard that your mother is a good cook, so we want to try it." Chen Yu was not polite, thinking about how to return the gift, he also took it with both hands, led Han Xin inside, handed the crockpot to his wife, and asked her to pour it out, so that Han Xin could bring his own things back.
Han Xin walked up to Xu Chun and made a big salute: "Thank you Aunt Xu for saving me." At that time, he was brought by his father to thank him, but at that time he was ignorant, and he just followed the adults to learn his tongue. Now it's only serious to say thanks, and not only for that time.
It's just that he doesn't have much ability to make returns, and when he grows up, the Chen family will do a job of repairing the house, and he must come to contribute.
Xu Chun was a kind woman and said with a smile: "Just passing by, who won't stretch out their hand when they see it?" It's not worth remembering. Your father knows how to farm, and my family has learned a lot from me, and I have received a lot of food, so my family would like to thank your father. ”
Now Chen Yu is in demand, and everyone is afraid that they will not learn well, so they want to hire Chen Yu to go to their own fields and use the skills they learned from Han Chuan, so they are willing to share more food with him. It's just that Chen Yu values righteousness, and the Han family still hires him, so he can't go anywhere else.
As he spoke, Xu Chun had already poured the soup into his own container and served it. The poor family didn't have many rules, so Chen Yu took a sip first, his eyes lit up, and he shouted: "It's delicious, don't be busy, come and taste it!" ”
Xu Chun also took a sip, revealing a look of surprise. Her family is poor, Chen Yu is mediocre farming, she rinses the silk by herself, her only son is still weak and sick, and the family is very embarrassed. When it comes to eating, she has never eaten well since she got married. As soon as the milk soup was in his mouth, his tongue tasted it, and he couldn't speak for a while, and then he said, "How can this ......stand it?"
Han Xin hugged his crockpot and replied seriously: "This is made of mushrooms, and it is also a cheap thing." Aunt Xu has a great kindness to me, but I only hate that I am young and weak, and I can't repay it! ”
Xu Chun was amused by his serious appearance, stroked his hair and said angrily: "Everyone will do something, and I talked about returning." Go home quickly, don't let your father and mother wait too much. ”
Chen Yu and her had a difficult child after marriage, and the child Chen Hu was born late, one year younger than Han Xin, and he never conceived again. At this time, Chen Hu buried his face in the bowl and drank the soup, and Han Xin felt compassion in his heart, saluted again, and led Han Wu to walk slowly home.
In the dream he remembered, Xu Chun was still rinsing for a living when she was very old, and only she and Chen Hu were left in her family.
Chen Yu disappeared at some point. He didn't remember this, but he remembered that in his dream, in the past two years, there had been many people infected with wind and cold. My mother had lung disease at home, but she never contracted it, but many people in it had a fever and cough and rested at home. Some people get better, but others get sick and die.
Chen family, is Chen Yu infected and gone? The woman had an only child, just like himself and his mother in his dreams.
In the dream, she still rescued him for more than ten days. With such a strong woman, it is no wonder that he clearly remembers her scolding, scolding him for not being able to stand on his own feet, and motivating him to cheer up.
What can he do, can he get people back? Han Xin shook his head, confused and powerless. Will that epidemic really happen? In the dream, the father is gone, and the brother is gone, but they are all outside the dream. Which ones are real and which ones are illusory, he really can't figure it out at a young age.
Han Wu walked and walked, I don't know why, Brother A's head hung down, he shook Brother A's hand, and encouraged him in a milky voice: "Brother, I'll be home soon, can't you walk?" ”
These are all the words that Han Xin encouraged him before, and the next sentence is: "Brother will carry you away." ”
It's a pity that Han Wu can't hold Han Xin at this time, so he can only pout: "Brother, when I'm older, I'll take you away." ”
Han Xin made him laugh, and he was not discouraged, so he hummed and led him home.
I don't want to, he is not a single person in the dream, he has a father, a mother and a younger brother, if someone in Taoxi is infected with the epidemic, he will let his father find a doctor to treat the disease, and the wind and cold will also be passed on.
With his father here, he is not afraid.
