Exiled, there is space, the mistress of the gate will raise her cubs

Chapter 31 Roasted Chestnut

The countryside is still busy with farming, but for the sake of the health of the family, it is necessary to make up some meat. The housekeeper is not idle, and will come to the market to buy.If there is no pork, I will buy some poultry and eggs to supplement.

The kimchi made by Aunt Liu has sugar in it. Sugar in ancient times was a precious thing, so the price has to be doubled.Ordinary people will weigh it if they want to buy it. The taste is really good, but it's just a toothpick occasionally.

Therefore, it is self-evident who her business is really aimed at.

Fat meat, she didn't take it out of her cuffs in front of the Xiao family.

Then, it was Aunt Liu who entered the kitchen and found two large pieces of lard on the chopping board. Her eyes were surprised for a moment, she probably didn't ask any more questions, and began to cut into pieces and boil the lard.

Sister Ling held a candied haw in her mouth, and looked into the kitchen eagerly.

Tang Zangyue blocked her sight and began to drive away: "Who taught you to do this while eating from the bowl and looking at the pot? Go, go to the village with your little aunt."

"Oh..." Sister Ling said vaguely.

Xiao Yuenong is not like Sister Ling and the twins, she can't bear to chew a candied haw in her mouth.She only tasted the sweet taste, and when she chewed it, the sour taste hit the tip of her tongue, which made her almost spit it out.

In the end, I was reluctant to eat the second one.Then, I heard Sister Ling muttering: "Little aunt is so kind, if you don't eat it yourself, let me eat it..."

Xiao Yuenong: ...

Forget it, whatever the little niece thinks.

There are seven hawthorns in a bunch of candied haws. Four people share one hawthorn, so there are still three hawthorns left, just enough for Xiao Yuenong.

However, as soon as they arrived under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village, a few pairs of children's eyes stared at Xiao Ling'er... the candied haws in her hand.

Sister Ling immediately became aware of the crisis, hurriedly hid behind her little aunt Xiao Yuenong, and then tentatively stuck out her small head.When meeting the still green eyes, he suddenly retracted his neck.

She retracted behind the little aunt, not giving others a chance to spy on her!

Xiao Zhonghao looked blankly at his new playmate, then at the direction of his little aunt, not knowing why.

Xiao Zhongran felt touched.

They are members of the Xiao family, they earn a lot of money, but they also bear heavy responsibilities.When they were young, their masters were asked to teach them to read and write. In the past, warriors in the military camp taught them basic skills.

During that time, there was no shortage of food in their mouths, but they cried bitterness in their mouths.Unexpectedly, it was on the road of exile that Xiao Zhongran truly realized what suffering is.

At that time, it was really suffering, but my mouth stopped crying.

Hiking every day, my legs cramp from walking, which is more uncomfortable than the night cramps of a taller person. The older brother and the second brother have to carry them on their backs, and the younger sister and aunt are also being carried by their grandmothers and aunts.Later, under the reminder of their grandmother, they wrapped their calves with rags, and it was easier for them to adapt to hiking.

What is the pain?It is the first time to try whole grain rice.

The coarse grains were chewed and swallowed, like rice awns scraping his throat, the pain made him almost cry.

Too loud.

But the rest of the family didn't complain, and even the second brother didn't even show a slight expression...

Xiao Zhongran used to only know that his second brother lived a poor life before he returned home, but recently seeing his second brother who can do anything and everything, he realized how hard his life was before.

Therefore, he gradually disliked his fourth uncle and worshiped his second brother more and more.

After getting along with the children in the village, I realized what the basic skills I practiced in the past are?The children in the village are hungry, boys are like this, let alone the girls under the influence of the patriarchal era.

They lack food and drink, and cannot maintain cleanliness.

Xiao Zhongran sighed with emotion, met the little aunt's gaze, got the same feeling, and then said to sister Ling: "Little sister, little aunt can give up her candied haws, and I can too. They have never eaten candied haws. Yes, share my candied haws with these children."

Xiao Zhonghao pondered for a while, even though he was skinny, he was infected by the thoughts of the twin brothers, and said: "Fourth brother, mine is half of us."

Xiao Yuenong nodded, pulled the little niece out from behind, and said: "Go, give Brother Ran's one to everyone."

Sister Ling pondered for a while, unable to sort out what was going on in her mind, she only spoke out her true thoughts, and said, "Little aunt, if you don't eat it, the two elder brothers each eat half a pill, but I can eat a whole one...wouldn't it be not good?"

Xiao Yuenong looked at Sister Shangling's ignorant and bewildered eyes, as if she had done something wrong, and was timid.She felt distressed for a while: "No, Kong Rong let Li, I let you, they let other children, we are selfless and know how to be humble. You are the youngest in the family, if you want to do things of humility... Well, wait until Yuechun gives birth to a child. Be humble, you should be old enough then."

Xiao Ling'er's eyes were like thick fog, she suddenly became enlightened, nodded and said: "Understood, because I am the youngest, even if I want to be modest, I have to wait for my second brother to give birth to a little niece, and then I will have someone to be humble to!"

Xiao Yuenong met her little niece's eyes and finally sold Xiao Zhongli.

This is because my little niece misunderstood, so I don't want to do her business.Although her words are instructive, she can refuse to admit it.

A candied hawthorn was crushed by Xiao Zhonghao through the glutinous rice paper, and one of them shared some of the crumbs, but not many people cared about the remaining hawthorn.

There are no others, but chestnuts and hawthorns, which can be seen everywhere in certain seasons.

The chestnut was picked and stored by the villagers as food, but the hawthorn tasted too sour and appetizing, so not many people picked it.These days, there is not enough food to eat, who still eats sour appetizers?Except for the pregnant little lady.

A little bit of sugar crumbs melted in the mouth, and the children showed unified happy smiles on their dirty faces.

I don't know who started it, and the children thanked the Xiao's four radish heads one after another.

The children's world is easy to integrate into, and a small benefit can integrate with them.

After picking up wheat ears in the field during the day, they have free time before eating at night.They took the Xiao family's four little radish heads up the mountain to look for those chestnuts.

Originally, they only ate once a day, but because of their health during the busy farming season, not only did they rarely get meat, they even ate twice a day.So tired is a bit tired, but every family is happy.

The chestnuts on the mountain ripen just in August. Pick up a few branches, set up a small firewood pile with flint, throw a few picked chestnuts into it and roast it for a while.

The little radishes of the Xiao family have never eaten chestnuts, but they have eaten soft snacks like chestnut cakes.

Sister Ling was weeping and asked, "Can it be delicious?"

One of the boys sucked his nose hard, nodded and said, "It's delicious, it must be delicious."

After roasting for a long time, Xiao Ling'er really smelled the aroma of chestnuts, and couldn't help swallowing her saliva, "It smells so good..."

One of the girls from the same village went to the fire to pick up chestnuts with bare hands, passed quickly around the palms of both palms, and then blew hard to dissipate the heat before handing it to Xiao Linger, "Linger, try it, but It's delicious."

Mao Li was held in Xiao Ling'er's palm, there was still some warmth, but not too hot, she peeled off the outer shell, and Xiaomi bit her teeth hard.

Wow……
