Chapter 066: The Foodie Sits Down
Liu Dongju, who was busy in the kitchen, heard the sound of the jeep walking away and hurriedly ran out: "Third brother, why don't you leave Director Wu to eat with his daughter-in-law?"
"He's not going to eat with us, that's a matter of principle. Liu Xing replied.
"That'...... Did you ask about Zhao Wuliang?" Liu Dongju looked at Liu Xing a little nervously.
"Asked. Liu Xing smiled.
"How is it?" Liu Dongju held her breath.
"If nothing else, it should be released in a few days! Liu Xing replied truthfully.
After all, cattle stealing was a big crime in the 80s, and there were many uncertainties.
"Yes...... Can you release it?" Liu Dongju was excited: "Then I have to go back and talk to Dongkui to save them from worrying." ”
"Big sister. Liu Xinglian grabbed Liu Dongju: "Can you calm down? I just said that it was possible, in case Zhao Wuliang was not released in the end, what should your mother-in-law do if she asked me for someone?"
"So, let's wait and see. Liu Xing said bitterly.
"That's right!" Liu Dongju laughed, and after patting Liu Xing's shoulder, he went to the kitchen to get busy.
Half an hour later.
It's time to eat.
Because of the arrival of Director Wu and Zhang Xiangjun before.
Zhou Qiuxiang and Liu Dongju processed all the yellow eels and loaches in the bucket and made two bowls of delicious dishes.
Now Director Wu and Zhang Xiangjun are gone, so they can only eat by their own family.
At the same time, soft-shelled turtle soup is cooked.
This is a rare delicacy in the countryside.
It's just that the melon seeds in the kitchen are secretly wiping their tears at this time.
Liu Xing, who walked in, asked the reason, and shook his head with a smile.
It turned out that the soft-shelled turtle stocked in the tank has become a 'good friend' of melon seeds in the past few days.
When my mother killed the soft-shelled turtle before, the melon seeds were still rolling on the ground and crying.
But how could the mother follow the temper of the melon seeds, and in the end she still dealt with the soft-shelled turtle and made it into soft-shelled turtle soup.
Now the melon seeds sitting on the low stool are convinced by their mother's bamboo sticks, but they just refuse to eat, because the soft-shelled turtle is her good friend.
After Liu Xing learned about this inside story, he hurriedly reached out and hugged the melon seeds: "Silly sister, if you don't eat the soft-shelled turtle if you are caught, then others will eat it in the future, and do you know? Its meat is more delicious than pork, and the soup it stews is better than the white rabbit toffee." ”
"Wocai doesn't believe it. "The melon seeds are aggrieved.
"If you don't believe it, you can go and drink a sip of soft-shelled turtle soup, eat a mouthful of soft-shelled turtle meat, if I lie to you, next time I go to the city to buy you a pound of white rabbit toffee." Liu Xing said softly.
"Brother, what did you say!" As soon as the melon seeds heard a pound of white rabbit toffee, they immediately forgot about any unhappiness, and shouted that they wanted to eat on the table.
Liu Dongju on the side looked at it and shook his head.
This melon seed is really something that only Liu Xing can coax.
When the family went to the table, Liu Xing saw that he didn't see Liu Dazhao's figure, so he asked Zhou Qiuxiang on the side: "Mom!
"I went to the village to volunteer to repair the canal, and I had to do it for half a month!" Zhou Qiuxiang replied helplessly.
"Oh," Liu Xing nodded.
Seeing that the melon seeds were staring at the soft-shelled turtle soup, he hurriedly picked up a spoon and scooped a spoonful of soup and blew it into the small rice bowl.
The melon seeds couldn't wait to taste it, and saw that the taste was really delicious, that is, the big eyes lit up, and picked up the chopsticks and grabbed a piece of soft-shelled turtle meat and put it in the mouth: "It's just right, but there are too many bones." ”
"Sister, let's go to the field to catch it when we're done, there must still be one in the nest field. This is the voice of Xiao Budian, she is holding a small rice bowl with one hand, and grasping the soft-shelled turtle meat with one small hand, which is a relish of eating.
"There are also in the wojia field, and there are also in the river last time I saw it. The melon seeds smacked their mouths: "It's so good, it's so fragrant, it's a pity that the nests can't catch it, this guy is very fierce and can bite." ”
As soon as the conversation between the two little guys came out, Liu Xing and Liu Dongju couldn't help laughing anymore.
Among them, Liu Dongju almost burst out laughing, because she had seen melon seeds in the kitchen before and refused to eat soft-shelled turtle meat, why did they all change their hexagrams this time!
Of course, I can only complain about this in my heart, and I must not expose the careful thinking of melon seeds.
Liu Xing didn't care much about melon seeds, for him, as long as his sister was happy.
......
After eating, Liu Xing, who had rested for a while, made shoes in the hall.
After Liu Dongju instructed the melon seeds to be optimistic about the small ones, he also officially learned to make shoes.
At first, I thought it was very new, and I thought I would definitely be able to learn it quickly.
But after half an hour, she was a little discouraged.
Because she realized that she couldn't complete every seemingly simple process in Liu Xing's hands.
Some can be completed, but they are far from Liu Xing's.
At this point, she realized that making sandals and slippers was far from being as simple as she imagined.
At least not as Liu Xing said, as long as you have hands.
However, I now know that it is too late, if I can't do it.
That will definitely be laughed at by Liu Xing.
So I can only grit my teeth.
Liu Xing saw the eldest sister's thoughts.
stopped what he was doing at the moment and patiently taught.
If it doesn't work once, twice.
Anyway, in a word, he will have no reservations about the eldest sister.
And as long as you master some of these skills, it shouldn't be difficult to learn how to make simple slippers.
Seeing that it was almost four o'clock, he had to say to Liu Dongju: "Eldest sister, I have to go to herd cattle, if you don't know how to put it there, wait for me to come back and teach." ”
"Good! good!" Liu Dongju nodded.
Liu Xing got up and walked out of the hall, and before he went to lead the black calf, he saw his father wearing a hoe and appearing on the threshing floor tiredly.
Stunned for a moment, he asked, "Dad, you didn't eat lunch when you were repairing the canal, right?"
"Don't mention it, I applied for a meal ticket subsidy with Village Chief Wang, but he avoided me. Liu Dazhao stretched out his hand and patted the mud crumbs on his body: "I won't go to repair the channel at night, and I won't go in the future, such a nest leader Lao Tzu will not do it." ”
"Then what are you going to do now? Why don't you go back to eat?" Liu Xing couldn't help but remind.
"Your sixth aunt told me to go to her house to help plow the fields, and I won't eat the meal, and your sixth aunt will prepare it later. Liu Dazhao explained the reason.
"Are you still going to plow the fields like this?" Liu Xingzhi shook his head: "I think you should hurry back to eat, and leave the matter of plowing the fields for the sixth aunt's family to me!"
The sixth aunt's family originally had ploughing cattle, but in order to treat the sixth aunt's illness, he sold the ploughing cattle, which he already knew, so he didn't need to ask more.
"Do you know how to plow the field?" asked Liu Dazhao with a wry smile.
"Cut! What's so hard about plowing the field? After Liu Xing said this, he went to the bullpen to fetch the cow.
Liu Dazhao was stunned when he heard this, smiled and hurriedly walked into the hall and carried the iron plow out.
When Liu Xing led the cow to the barnyard, he put the cow rope and the cow bend on the black calf: "Your sixth aunt's field seems to have seven or eight acres, you should be careful when you go to plow, if the plow is not finished, I will lead the ox over to plow tomorrow." ”
The reason why the cow rope and the cow bend are put on the black calf now is because Liu Xingliu's aunt's house is not far from saltpeter village, so she married in Daohua Village next door.
And using a black calf to drag the iron plough away, this can save a lot of effort.
Otherwise, it would be enough to carry it all the way to Daohua Village.
Of course, if it is a long distance, such as going to Liu Dongju's house, then it is not possible to drag the iron plow like this, because the plow head of the iron plow cannot withstand the friction of stones and mud along the way.
Liu Xing naturally knew what his father meant, and after tightening the ox rope, he followed the iron plough behind the black calf to Daohua Village.
