My 1995 Small Farm Chapter 187

   Chapter 187

  The rice is ready, it's white rice, and the dish is cooked together by Wang Susu and Chen Ling.

  The local custom is like this, on the second day of the homecoming banquet, the daughter-in-law should cook a meal for her father and mother, as she did when she was a girl before marriage, to show her filial piety.

   But Wang Su was always pregnant, so it was inconvenient to keep busy with the smoldering fire on the stove, so Chen Ling had to be the main force of cooking, so she started by the side.

In addition to a few home-cooked dishes, Chen Ling also specially made dry pot maocai. The maocai of later generations is not a good thing, but it can be called a big killer in this day and age, and the fragrance wafts out more than Instant noodles also hook people.

  Chen Ling brought enough seasonings, half of the stockade is full of strong spicy fragrance after the pot is out of the pot.

  Some people even walked out the door, sniffing their noses and looking around, cursing in their hearts, wanting to see which one floated out.

At this time, Wang Qingzhong and Guo Xinping returned to their house, changed into clean clothes, and came out. When they walked here, they also smelled this strong and alluring fragrance. The two took two breaths and looked at each other, thinking about home. What kind of dish is this cooking, why is it so fragrant.

   quickened his pace and hurried home.

   The two of them had already traveled all the way up the mountain road. They were tired and hungry. Their stomachs were already growling with hunger, so how could they wait.

   "Azhong, walking so fast, are you rushing home to eat meat?"

   "Your sister is married so close to the county town. Isn't it a good day? Now that I come back, I'm cooking meat every day. It tastes so good, it smells weird..."

   "When will your brother-in-law invite me to eat meat too?"

   A young man of the same generation came out with a bowl and joked with Wang Qingzhong and his wife.

   "Just you? Meat?"

  Wang Qingzhong gave him a sideways look, "Okay, I still have two lumps of dead meat on my heels. If you want to eat them, I'll scrape them off for you and put them in your bowl. Do you want to eat them?"

   "You, you, you Ah Zhong..."

   The young man was furious, causing a burst of laughter.

   And Wang Qingzhong took his daughter-in-law and hurried over.

   Back home.

  Then laughed and sat down to eat.

   Several dishes cooked by Chen Ling today are all outstanding.

   But the most popular, as expected, is the dry pot maocai.

   Most of the stuff in the frying pan was poured into the porcelain pot, and the oil was steaming. It was quail eggs, meatballs, tofu, vermicelli, potatoes, lotus root slices, and the leftover duck intestines, duck blood, pork belly, ham...

   The whole porcelain basin is full, and the amount is quite sufficient.

  Clip a chopstick, eat it into your mouth, it is spicy and refreshing, and your mouth is full of fragrance. This kind of delicious taste that has never been experienced, conquered several people at once.

   Whether it is an adult or a baby, the chopsticks are all stretched into the porcelain basin that holds the vegetables. A few pairs of chopsticks are coming and going, and they don't stop at all, and they are about to fight.

   didn't even bother to talk, he was all burying his head in cooking, and Wang Qingzhong kept shouting that it was delicious.

   Even the old cat at home was lying beside the table early, waiting for someone to feed him with his head raised.

   Waiting for the dish in the porcelain pot to bottom out, a few people are still a little unsure.

  Chen Ling and Wang Susu didn't move much, they were all eating light vegetarian dishes while taking care of Wang Zhenzhen and two little nephews. If they couldn't reach them, they put a few chopsticks into the bowl.

   For the two of them, not only Gao Xiulan and his wife, but Wang Qingzhong and his wife are also more satisfied with each other.

   "Mother, today your daughter will cook for you with your son-in-law, are you happy?"

   Guo Xinping leaned over to her mother-in-law and whispered.

   "That's not it, I'm so happy."

   The old lady glanced at her second daughter-in-law, and asked Wang Qingzhong and Chen Ling with a smile on her face, "Can you two have a few drinks with your father? There's still a lot of vegetables left."

   "I can't, I drank a little too much last night, I can't drink it today..."

  Wang Cunye waved his hand and said to Chen Ling, "Drink with your second brother, I'll go get you wine."

   "I'm coming, I'm coming..."

  Chen Ling hurriedly got up and walked over.

   Holding a half jar of wine, the two poured it into a wine cup, and they were ready to drink.

  Wang Qingzhong raised his wine and said, "Lingzi, your second brother, I'm not very good at speaking. I heard what my elder brother said before, and I plan to let you follow me to sell food."

   "Seeing you guys getting better and better now, I'm very happy. You and Susu will live a good life in the future. If you need help with anything, I'll be there with my eldest brother."

   After he finished speaking, he raised his head and raised his glass, and a cup of two taels of liquor went down.

  Chen Ling saw this without saying a word, and also drank a cup.

   "Haha, good job."

  Wang Qingzhong praised with a smile: "My brother doesn't like to drink. I have never had a good time at home. Today we have a good drink."

   "Okay, second brother, when you're not busy, and take my sister-in-law and Dongdong to our place to play for a few days, then I'll accompany you to drink every day..."

"OK."

  The whole family was talking, Chen Ling and Chen Ling clink two glasses from time to time and drink two glasses of wine.

   Most of the dishes on the table have not been moved, except for the cooking.

   Pork head meat, stir-fried pork liver with green peppers, shredded chicken with peppers, stir-fried duck blood, sweet and sour fish…

  Wang Qingzhong enjoyed eating and drinking this time.

   kept saying to Wang Cunye that he had never fought such a wealthy battle before, and today it was Chen Ling's honor.

   As he spoke, he straightened his waistband.

   He does physical work all year round and eats a lot.

   Not to mention Chen Ling's appetite.

   Most of the dishes on the table were swept into the stomach by the two of them during the drinking and chatting, which saved the night from eating leftovers.

  After dinner, Guo Xinping went to the kitchen to do some work, boiled water and made tea for everyone.

   Then the family and the wives sat beside the bed with the doll, surrounded by some new photos brought by Wang Susu, as well as the old photos that were sent back before, were also taken out and looked at in their hands.

Wang Susu was by her side, pointed at the people and scenes in the photos, and told them the interesting stories about the photos. It's really fun.

Chen Ling, his father-in-law, and his second uncle were sitting in the main room drinking tea. The three of them chatted all over the place, from food, herbs, hunting, all kinds of weird mountain secrets, to the war of resistance, great men and all kinds of things. National affairs.

   They chatted lively, Guo Xinping came out again to add tea to them, and also brought brown sugar from the kitchen, especially in the tea bowls of Chen Ling and Wang Qingzhong.

   "You guys drink a lot in the afternoon, drink some brown sugar tea, your stomach feels good, and your body feels warm..."

   "Otherwise, it's winter, and after noon, it's going to be cold on the mountain, and it'll be uncomfortable at night when you catch a cold."

   "Thank you sister-in-law."

   "Oh, thank you for the family."

   Guo Xinping turned around with a smile, and shouted: "Really, take them out to drink water, lunch is salty, don't drink water and fire..."

   "I added saccharin to you, it's not hot now, come and drink it."

   "Second sister-in-law, why didn't you ask me what to drink when you poured water..."

   "When I came back, I brought orange powder, malted milk essence, and soy milk powder, all of which tasted much better than water made with saccharin."

  Wang Zhenzhen came out with two little nephews and said unhappily.

   "Okay, okay, we are really advanced now. If you don't drink saccharin, you won't drink saccharin. My sister-in-law will pour it for you again..."

   "Tell me, which one do you drink?"

   Guo Xinping laughed.

   As for this little sister-in-law, she grew up watching her. She said that she was a sister-in-law. Sometimes, she took care of her more thoughtfully than her own son. Of course, the little sister-in-law was also very close to her.

   Therefore, this little girl dare not ask her parents, big brother and sister-in-law to act like a spoiled child.

   is actually a pair of them, and they always like to be a little bit temperamental.

"Um…"

   Wang Zhen really thought about it, but didn't know what to drink for a while, so he turned around and asked his two little nephews: "What are you two drinking?"

   "I drink orange powder."

   "I drink that milk powder..."

  Two little dolls hold small hands, one of them wants the same.

  Wang Zhenzhen saw this and said, "Then I'll drink wheat milk essence, so that we are all different and can drink it instead."

  Guo Xinping was dumbfounded and had to prepare for them.

  Wang Cunye stood up to stop him, and said to his younger daughter with a stern face, "When you come back, you will call your second sister-in-law. I think you want to be beaten..."

   "Xinping, no matter what they are, everything depends on their temperament. In the future, the more they learn, the more squeamish they become."

   "What's the matter, daddy, just make a cup of sugar water."

   Guo Xinping smiled and said, "Zhenzhen has been away for three months and has only just returned two days ago, so don't discipline her."

   said and looked at the little sister-in-law who had pouted: "We are really the most sensible, and we can write essays, how wonderful."

   went to pour drinks for the three little guys.

  Wang Cunye sighed helplessly when he saw this, and said to Chen Ling with a headache: "I see it, I'm used to her, and I can't control it when I grow up."

  Chen Ling comforted him a few words, called Wang Zhenzhen and his two little nephews to him, and quickly made the three little guys happy.

   After getting along for the past two days, he could also see the disposition of the Lao-Zhang family.

   Whether the two old people or their sons and daughters-in-law, they are all very upright and traditional people.

  The uncle and brother are gentle and serious, with a high degree of education, but kind-hearted.

  The second uncle and brother are carefree, outspoken and straightforward, with the temperament of an ordinary farmer couple.

  The two sons made Chen Ling feel cordial and warm.

   At the same time, I also feel very lucky that I can save a lot of troubles by meeting such a good family member.

   As the saying goes, to understand a girl's seven or eight points, first look at the mother's heel.

   The meaning of this sentence is that when marrying a daughter-in-law, when the man does not know the **** a blind date, he should first check whether the heel of the mother is clean or not.

  If it is not clean, it proves that if you don't wash your feet for a long time, you are a sloppy family.

  There is a sloppy mother, and there is a sloppy daughter.

  Sloppy is not just not loving cleanliness, but also careless housekeeping, impatient care of children and so on.

   And vice versa.

   To be able to raise a girl like Wang Susu, her family is really not bad.

At this time, Wang Zhenzhen came alive again, drinking drinks with his two little nephews, squatting on the ground and playing with the wooden top, when he twisted his little hand, the wooden top began to spin, and the three little guys counted, who had the shortest spin time Even if you lose, the loser drinks plain water, and the winner drinks drinks.

   is quite fun to play.

   "She's really smart. She can write letters before she is in the third grade. In the past six months, she has learned to write essays. When Susu and I picked her up, the teacher praised her several times."

  Chen Ling said to his father-in-law, "Father, she is indeed a girl with potential, study hard, and she will definitely be admitted to university in the future..."

   "Humph, is she the only one who is still going to college? She looks like a little leather monkey, can she do it?"

  Wang Cunye spit out the blue smoke with a smoking bag in his mouth, then took a sip of tea from the teacup, and asked Chen Ling, "Does the teacher really praise her?"

   "Really, Susu told my sister-in-law just now, several times."

  Chen Ling nodded.

  Wang Qingzhong smiled beside him: "Dad, you forgot? I really have my brother and sister-in-law to teach, so I can read newspapers in the second grade."

   "It's not the same, writing an article is different from reading a newspaper, it's not the same at all..."

  Wang Cunye glanced at his little daughter and saw that she was eavesdropping with her ears bent, and she immediately changed the subject.

   "She is taught by your elder brother and sister-in-law. I don't know what it will be like in the future. Let's wait until middle school."

   says so.

   In fact, he was proud in his heart.

  My little daughter has been very sensible since she was a child.

   Although the whole family spoiled her and used to her, they did not spoil her.

   is not only sensible, but also smart and thoughtful.

   In the second grade, he will read newspapers and write letters.

  When she was in school in the town, she secretly wrote letters and sent money to Wang Susu, and asked the teacher to help her send it out. It would be difficult for other girls of the same age to do this. Most of the girl dolls at this age only care about playing.

   Later, Wang Susu sent a letter back, and the whole family knew what was going on.

   Such a small person dares to write a letter.

   "Yes, but I think, really so smart, I will definitely not fall behind in learning."

  Chen Ling said with a smile.

   Although the old man didn't say anything, Chen Ling knew from the corner of his raised mouth that the old man was secretly having fun.

   just didn't say anything.

   Wang Qingzhong, the second uncle, was a little confused and started to doze off. He also hurriedly opened his confused and drunken eyes, followed him, and even said yes.

   "Sister-in-law, we've finished drinking again. You can add some more for us."

   Tired of playing with the spinning top, Wang Zhenzhen also swelled the belly of the two little nephews and ran out to urinate.

   "Drinking again? What do you want to drink this time?"

   Guo Xinping asked with a smile.

   "Plain boiled water, my brother-in-law said, if you drink too much sweet, there will be bugs in your teeth, and it will hurt."

   Wang Zhen really thought about it, and felt that he had enough drinks, and he was satisfied, so he said.

   "Yo, you are willing to listen to your brother-in-law."

   Guo Xinping glanced at Chen Ling and went to pour water for the three little guys.

Wang Zhenzhen also looked at Chen Ling with a smile. It was like discovering the New World. He widened his eyes and shouted, "Aiya, brother-in-law, why don't you use a new cup, but use your father's cup? "

   "Don't you think our father's cup is not clean?"

  Because Wang Susu returned to the door, the old couple prepared all new things for the two of them, including small items such as bowls, chopsticks and tea sets.

   But Chen Ling doesn't use a new cup now, but the enamel jar in the main room, which is very old for many years, and Wang Zhenzhen finds it strange to see it.

   She was startled at first, but it made Chen Ling stunned for a while, and then she said angrily and funny: "You, really, I just said good things to you for nothing."

   "Dad is right, I should beat you hard."

   Hearing his son-in-law's words, Wang Cunye couldn't help laughing.

   "Now you know how hateful she is?"

Seeing that Chen Ling's face was a little embarrassed, the old man smiled again: "Or she said now that I almost forgot, remember when you and Susu got engaged, your father told you about you, saying that you have been special for yourself since you were a child. Tableware and chopsticks, even the tableware and chopsticks that your father and mother used are unwilling to use, they say that they have a strange smell when they are stained with saliva..."

Wang Cunye didn't care about such trivial matters, but found it interesting: "I heard that your grandmother teased you later, saying that my family is weird, is it possible that you have a daughter-in-law and go to your mother-in-law's house with dishes and chopsticks? I made my mother-in-law anxious, and kicked you into the pigsty with one kick."

   Having said this, I couldn't help but laugh.

   This is indeed true.

  When they got engaged, Chen Ling was unwilling to drink water from the tea jar of his father-in-law. Chen Juncai felt embarrassed and explained the matter.

   "Is it changed now?"

   "Hey, it's been changed a long time ago, my fault has been left from the moment I can remember..."

  Chen Ling smiled.

   At this time, Wang Susu and the three also came out.

   Hearing them talking, he sat beside him and listened.

"When I was more than two years old, I ran around all day, someone built a house, someone dug a sweet potato well, someone cut down a tree, I would run wherever it was lively, cry if I didn't let it go, and make a fuss when it was time to eat. There is no way to eat well.”

"My grandmother, my mother followed behind my ass, holding a bowl to feed me, but I kept running around, and the rice in the bowl quickly became cold, knowing that the baby has a weak stomach, and eating cold is very easy to get sick. , my grandmother and mother put the rice in our mouths, chewed it and kept it in our mouths, so that the rice would not be too cold to catch a cold after eating."

"When he catches up with me, he grabs my head and feeds it into my mouth. Later, I remember it and it's still like this. I can't stand it anymore. I gradually feel that the things that adults have used are not clean and refuse to use it again. already."

  This method was taught to his mother by grandma. Later, I heard from the aunt Wang from Wang Lixian's house. I have to say that Chen Ling's previous cleanliness was indeed greatly affected by this.

   After he finished speaking, several people also recalled it and said that it was no wonder.

   Thinking about feeding like that makes me really uncomfortable.

  Wang Qingzhong also forced his drunken eyes to open, and said with a big tongue: "That's right, no wonder..."

   He is getting drunk.

   Gao Xiulan said quickly: "Xinping, help him to bed for a while, he drank a lot in the afternoon."

   "Oops...No...I'm not drunk...what's the point of drinking...just like gargling your mouth..."

  Wang Qingzhong waved his hand and stood up staggeringly: "Lingzi, let's go, brother will take you to catch the snake."

   Before he finished speaking, he slipped down the chair and chanted sutras.

   He was like this, making Wang Zhenzhen and the two little dolls laugh non-stop.

  Wang Susu couldn't help but smile, she hadn't seen her second brother like this for a long time, only when she was happy to drink big wine.

  Chen Ling didn't expect the second uncle to have such a side, so he quickly picked him up and helped him to the bed with Guo Xinping.

   After Wang Qingzhong lay down, Guo Xinping was still talking: "Your second brother knows how to be brave and be brave when you drink. This is called a stinky problem."
