After the tragic death of his daughter, the honest father of the age awakened

At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Qingmu's father and daughter returned home with a full harvest.

Xu Qingmu carried six moso bamboos on his shoulders, and Xu Shuyue, Xu Shuyu, Xu Shuting, and Xu Shuyuan each held one in their hands. The long bamboo poles drew traces on the ground, bringing up dust.

Xu Shurou, Xu Shuyan, and Xu Shuxin each held a bamboo shoot in their hands. The bamboo shoot was so big that it was half as tall as Xu Shuxin.

In addition to the bamboo shoots, Xu Shuyan also carried a fat bamboo rat in her hand.

The bamboo rat was tied up by rattan, and Xu Shuyan was holding one end of the rattan, shaking it back and forth, her voice couldn't hide her joy, "I'll just say that Xinxin is lucky, if we come by ourselves, don't mention this guy , I'm afraid I can't even see a mouse hair!"

Xu Shuyu sighed, "Now I finally know, Yanyan, why you always say that Xinxin is lucky!"

Whether they picked up hares or pheasants before, they agreed with Xu Shuxin's good luck, but they were not as shocked as seeing it with their own eyes this time.

Because Xu Shuxin wanted to eat bamboo shoots, and Xu Shuyan wanted to sell dried bamboo shoots in the sun, Xu Qingmu had no reason not to agree, so he let them dig the bamboo shoots by themselves.

There was no spare hatchet, so Xu Shuyu and the others also went to dig bamboo shoots.

Of course, without tools, they can only dig with sticks and pick with hands.

Then, after digging for a while, they were attracted by Xu Shuyan's exclamation, and watched Xu Shuxin holding a gray and fluffy bamboo mouse with her two small hands.

The bamboo rat didn't struggle when it was caught, as if it had been frightened out of its wits.

Among Xu Shuyu and the others, except for Xu Shuyan, who had met more than once, who was very calm, the others were stunned.

It wasn't until Xu Shuyan ran to pull the vines that they came back to their senses, and they all stepped forward to help, and tied the bamboo mouse tightly with vines.

Now hearing Xu Shuyan praise Xu Shuxin's luck again, Xu Shuyu couldn't help being moved, "Xinxin, Second Sister can't wait to go up the mountain with you every day!"

Seeing her father's gaze sweeping over her, she quickly changed her words, "It doesn't matter if we don't go up the mountain, we can just walk around in the bamboo forest or on the wasteland."

There are bamboo rats in the bamboo forest, pheasants and hares in the wasteland, no matter which one is caught, it is meat!

You can also go fishing in the river.

A group of people talked and laughed, and soon saw home.

Before reaching the door of the house, Xu Shuyan sniffed, "I can smell the smell of meat!"

As she spoke, she raised her head slightly, and took a few inhalations, "It smells so good!"

Xu Shuyu teased her, "Yanyan, are you hallucinating? The meat is still in your hand, so you can smell the fragrance?"

Worried that the people in the commune would not be used to eating bamboo rats, so Xu Qingmu decided not to exchange them for money, and kept them to eat for themselves.

Therefore, Xu Shuyu thought that Xu Shuyan could smell the smell of meat only when he saw that he was eating meat.

Xu Shuting and the others also made fun of Xu Shuyan.

But Xu Shuxin and Xu Qingmu, who knew everything well, smiled and did not speak.

However, as they got closer, Xu Shuyu and the others also smelled the aroma of meat.

Xu Shuyu made the same movements as Xu Shuyan, and sniffed, "Sixth, your nose is really good. No wonder Ma Dacai said you have a dog's nose."

Xu Shuyue asked: "Father, it seems that the smell of meat comes from our family. Does our family have meat?"

Xu Shuyan nodded and said affirmatively: "It's from our family! Mother is really cooking meat!"

Saying that, she didn't wait for her father and sisters anymore, and Sa Yazi ran towards the house.

While running, she didn’t forget to call her twin sister, “Hurry up, Xinxin!”

Xu Shuxin hurriedly followed after hearing this.

Xu Shuyu pouted, "She only remembers Xinxin!"

Xu Shuyue shook her head amusedly, "They are twins, and they stay together all day, so naturally their relationship is better."

While talking, they also entered the house.

After putting the bamboo in the yard, Xu Shuyu immediately ran to the kitchen.

Behind her, several little tails followed, only Xu Shuyue did not move.

Although she is also greedy for meat, she is still stable.

Xu Qingmu put the bamboo away, sat down under the eaves of the porch, and said to Xu Shuyue: "Yueyue, you can go in too."

Dinner has not yet started, but after entering the kitchen, the daughter-in-law will definitely share the meat with the children.

Xu Shuyue shook her head, "Dad, let me help you while I'm waiting for dinner."

Xu Qingmu let her go.

In the kitchen, because of the arrival of Xu Shuyu and six people, the space suddenly became smaller.

They all gathered in front of the stove, looking at the three large iron pots on top from the largest to the smallest, they couldn't help but widen their eyes.

Xu Shuyu couldn't help but raised his hand and rubbed his eyes.

Xu Shuyan told her: "Second sister, this is real, this is a real iron pot, all three belong to our family!"

She stepped into the kitchen first, and had already asked everything that should be asked.

Pointing to the medium-sized iron pot with the lid on, she said, "Now this pot is cooking meat!"

The best pork belly should weigh five catties.

Cui Lanhua cut off the fat meat separately and boiled lard, and used the remaining lean meat to cook soup.

In fact, such good pork belly is suitable for braised pork, but Cui Lanhua is used to being frugal.

Even though there was peanut oil in what she received, she still decided to use the fat to cook lard.

The boiled lard will condense into lumps after cooling down. It is white, and it is delicious whether it is used for cooking or bibimbap.

Cui Lanhua couldn't help drooling when she smelled the aroma while cooking lard.

Fortunately, their house was far away from the village, and she closed the doors and windows, otherwise other families would definitely know that they were eating meat.

She puts the boiled lard residue in a sea bowl, which can be eaten directly or used for cooking.

Seeing that the children had come in, she pointed to the lard residue on the chopping board next to her and said, "The meat in the pot is not ready yet, there is lard residue there, take it out and eat it, remember to sprinkle some salt."

The light in the kitchen is not good, and it is still hot, and it gets hotter when there are more people.

She waved her hand and told them to go out quickly.

Xu Shuyu stood relatively close and moved quickly. He rushed to the chopping board and raised his hand to get salt.

"Second sister, you didn't wash your hands!" The fourth child Xu Shuyuan reminded her.

"It's not dirty, it's okay to eat!" Xu Shuyu said so, but his body withdrew his hand sincerely, "You haven't washed your hands either, so follow me to wash your hands first."

The younger sisters below did not refute, and followed her out of the kitchen to the well.

It was also at this time that Xu Shuyan realized that she was still carrying a bamboo rat in her hand.

She put the bamboo rat aside, and asked Xu Qingmu who was under the eaves: "Father, are you going to kill the bamboo rat tonight?"

"Why, you still want to eat meat until you're full?" Xu Shuyu gave her an annoyed look, then turned to Xu Qingmu and said, "Father, save the bamboo rat until tomorrow! Aren't you going to the commune tomorrow? In the past, it was up to people to accept it or not, and if they didn’t accept it, you would bring it back.”

Xu Qingmu: "Let's forget it. It's inconvenient to go with the captain tomorrow. Let's eat it by ourselves. I'll pack it up when I come back from the commune tomorrow."

Xu Shuyu thought so too.

For your own safety, it is better not to take risks.

"That's fine, let's eat tomorrow." Xu Shuyu said.
