Chapter 22: Life is as sweet as honey
"A few of you eat less, otherwise you will eat too much and your stomach hurts, grandma left you a big bowl, and there will be some to eat at night."
The four little hairy heads nodded with rice in their mouths and cheeks.
"Mother, this soup is so good, I'll feed some to Chenggong to drink." Chen is ready to go to the house to hug Chenggong.
Li Yunlan didn't know if such a young child could drink soup, so she turned her eyes to Liu.
Seeing her mother-in-law looking at herself, Liu Shi didn't know why: "Mother, what's wrong?" ”
Li Yunlan shook her head, she always felt that it was inappropriate, she had never heard of a three- or four-month-old child who could drink soup.
"Second daughter-in-law! Don't give it to your child, be careful when you're so young, eat more yourself, and turn it into a successful milk feeding. After she finished speaking, Chen lowered his head and blushed with shame.
There is also a big uncle on the table, and the mother-in-law is talking about breastfeeding or something.
Li Yunlan scooped a big spoonful and put the soup and meat into Chen's bowl: "There is no limit to these two days, you can eat more." ”
Chen snorted quietly, and Qiu Defu's eyebrows stretched with a smile next to him: "Eat quickly, see how good our mother is to you." ”
What a fart, I can't even bear to take out the hanging meat, hum!
"Our peanuts were planted late this year, and they are not ripe until now, and my second child and I have to fight, and we have no time to plan."
Li Yunlan nodded: "It's okay, you are busy at home, I will go with the eldest daughter-in-law." ”
"I'll go too, milk."
"Okay, Chengcai will also go."
After eating, the three of them went to the dry land under the hillside with baskets and hoes.
The soil was a little hard, so the three of them pulled it out first, and they didn't let go of any peanuts after shaving.
This peanut is very small, not as large as a modern peanut, and it may be a problem with the variety.
Peanuts are also called longevity fruits here, the price is not cheap, and the family is reluctant to give it to the children to eat, and they are all sold for money.
Chengcai pulled the peanut very happily, grabbed the root of the peanut with his little hand, pulled it up with all his might, and pulled out the peanut with the soil of the root, shook it off and put it next to him, he was happy to repeat the action on his hand.
Soon the two baskets were full, Chengcai continued to stay in the field, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law carried them home first.
When they arrived at the door of the house, the brothers pulled the big bluestone stone and crushed the rice clockwise.
The peanuts went to the backyard, drank saliva, and carried the basket on their backs.
Seeing that the land is not big, there are only five rows of peanuts in the afternoon, and it is not too early: "Chengcai, tell your mother to stop doing it, let's go home and come back tomorrow." ”
Liu put all the peanut seedlings into the basket and carried them on her mother-in-law's back first, and Li Yunlan also helped her carry them on her back.
"There are two pieces of uncut soybeans in front of us that are also ours?"
"Well, it's been delayed this year."
Li Yunlan knew the reason, so she didn't ask much and shouted Chengcai to go home.
When he arrived at the door of the house, Qiu Defu was in the field, and Qiu Degui immediately threw away the iron fork and stepped forward to take over the old lady's back basket.
Li Yunlan moved her shoulder, sore to death.
I went into the yard and washed my face, crooked to the cool bed, and watched my three granddaughters play with success, and was teased from time to time giggles.
Qiu Degui carried the rice into the west house of the upper room with a basket of buckets.
"That's it? Can you take it back? ”
"Put the Westinghouse spread out first, and when it's all finished, we will dry it together."
Li Yunlan snorted and didn't care.
Stretching his waist, he went into the kitchen.
The rice was cooked, the vegetables were washed and cut, and she opened the cabinet door and took out the pig's intestine and kidney.
Bring water to a boil, boil the water into the large intestine ginger and shallots for 2 minutes, take it out, rinse it with water,
Put the pork intestines, ginger and green onions in the pot water and simmer until eight mature, take out and dry slightly, cut into small sections, heat the oil pot, put sugar on low heat and fry the sugar color, put in the large intestine, ginger, garlic slices, soy sauce, salt and stir-fry, add half a bowl of water, cover the pot and simmer the large intestine, and then add green peppers and green onions to quickly stir-fry a few times to get out of the pot.
Remove the white part of the pork kidneys and the beans, cut them into thin slices and scrub them repeatedly with plant ash, and the flour is gone, so you can only use plant ash.
The pork kidneys were simply boiled in soup, and as soon as the vegetarian dishes were fried, the rice was opened.
"Mother, it's so good to eat at once, I'm energetic to work." Qiu Defu pinched a piece of large intestine and said.
Qiu Degui also said: "I smell the smell of meat, and I have the strength to pick and choose." ”
Li Yunlan: "Eat more if it's delicious, you can't stop your mouth with rice." ”
Their kidneys are not for children and women, Li Yunlan doesn't like the taste of pork kidneys, and the two daughters-in-law also consciously don't stretch out their chopsticks.
Chengcai ate the pig's head soup left over at noon, and the pig's large intestine was really soft and chewy, really delicious, there was no smell at all, but it was a little spicy.
"Mother, this large intestine is really delicious, why don't you move your chopsticks!"
"Mother doesn't like to eat, you can eat."
"How can you not love it when it's so delicious? Eat quickly. ”
Qiu Degui put a piece into his mother's bowl, and Li Yunlan put it back for him, asking him not to clip it around, just saying that he really didn't like to eat it.
It's already a little cool at night, the countryside doesn't raise idlers, and even five-year-old Mingyue has to help take her younger siblings.
After eating, while it was still dark, the brothers went to pile up the haystack, and Li Yunlan took the Liu family and the children to pick peanuts in the backyard.
Seeing that the children were very greedy: "Cook a pot for you to eat tomorrow." ”
Several children happily stood up and circled around their grandmother.
"Mother, don't get used to them, it's a waste for the children to eat this expensive thing."
Chen also said: "Yes, mother, the price of this longevity fruit is high, and we have eaten something by ourselves." ”
The little hairy people listened to their mother's words and drooped their heads one by one.
"Okay, it's not every day, cook a pot to satisfy their cravings."
"Grandma is the best! Oh...... Boiled peanuts to eat...... Boiled peanuts and eaten. ”
Liu Shi saw that her mother-in-law had spoken, so she smiled and said, "You can get used to them!" ”
Li Yunlan also smiled and said, "Eat together, and I'm used to you." Liu laughed.
Anyway, some of them can be eaten, and Chen laughed along.
What are they laughing at? So happy. ”
Qiu Degui also smiled and said: "The second child is a good day, a good day, a good day for the family to laugh." ”
The village chief who passed by quipped: "You brothers have eaten honey and laughed like this." ”
"Uncle, it's sweeter than honey."
The village chief was also infected and walked over with a smile.
The days passed day by day, harvesting peanuts and beans, and it took more than ten days to return to the warehouse.
Morning and evening, the cooler was even greater, Li Yunlan took Mingyue Chengcai to dig medicine and wild vegetables every day, and he didn't let go of what he could eat and sell.
The land was turned over again, and a new round of farming began, planting rape and winter wheat.
The wheat seeds have not yet fallen to the ground, and the officials who collect the autumn tax have already arrived at Lizheng's house, and the village chiefs have begun to beat the gong again: "Tax, tax." ”
If the enemy only pays the land tax and does not pay the tax on the people, then he will have to serve as a servant, and if he has to go for a month after paying the tax on the people, then he will have to go for three months if he has not paid the tax, and he will have to pay it with hard labor.
