Ugly peasant girl in space

Chapter 52 Sickness

Although it was delicious, Qingli still swallowed her saliva, reminding her that she is not really seven years old, so she should not be greedy, so she grabbed a handful for her grandpa, and the elder brother, third brother and younger brother also tasted two, and the remaining half a bowl , Qingli gave it to grandma Li Jinhua.

"Grandma, eat meatballs!"

"Girl Li, you can eat it. Grandma knows you like it the most. It's been almost a year since last year's Chinese New Year."

With a smile on her face, Nanny Li just put one in her mouth symbolically, and pushed the bowl to Qingli directly, seeing that she didn't want to eat, she said, "Eat, let's see you eat, milk is better than eating by yourself." I'm happy."

Seeing what grandma said, Qingli stopped being polite, she ate several in a row, enjoying it, the auntie's cooking skills are really good, and you can add some modern shrimp oil to make it more delicious!It's just a pity that there is no such complicated condiment at this time.

"Girl Li, is the roof of your house leaking? Let's stay and sleep with grandma today."

Grandma Li has been watching Qingli eat the meatball happily, and seeing her wipe her mouth, she quickly found a new handkerchief from the box, which was made of blue muslin, and handed it to Qingli directly, saying, "This is your handkerchief." The second cousin bought it from the town, and the milk is useless, so take it, even though we are girls in the village, we should be gentle, and from now on, we can use this to wipe our hands and mouth, just wash it frequently."

"Milk……"

Mo Qingli took the small handkerchief from her grandma, feeling a little shy all of a sudden. After the ancient times, her style was obviously not the graceful school in modern times, and she became informal. Sometimes she just wiped her mouth with her hands after eating. In fact, she also I feel a little unhygienic, and now that my grandma said that, I suddenly looked ashamed and my old face flushed.

"Okay, don't tease us girl Li anymore."

Grandma Li Shi was a little shy when she saw Qingli, she knew she was listening, so she changed the subject, "You see that the handkerchief is quite soft, if your second cousin can change things next time, let him change a few for you all. , you can use it instead."

"Honey, you are so kind."

Qingli took grandma's hand and began to act like a baby, thinking that now that she had money at home, treating grandma's illness should also be on the agenda, just relying on the scar removal ointment that her cousin Mo Qingdai said, she couldn't underestimate the level of medical skills at this time, After all, Chinese medicine is a treasure, but many folk remedies have been lost in modern times.

Dinner on Mid-Autumn Festival night is a little later than usual. At the end of the day, the sky outside has been dark, and oil lamps have been lit inside the house.

There are too many people, but for the sake of excitement, everyone is crowded on a round table. Next to Qing Li is the second sister Qing Qiang, and on the right is the third brother Mo Zisong. People, parents, uncles and aunts are all scattered on both sides.

"Why are there so many dishes, it's just in time for Chinese New Year!"

Grandpa Mo Fulai nodded in relief. His son is promising, and he is also happy, especially when he heard that the third son is going to build a house, or a brick and tile house. This is a big deal, even if he is outstanding in the whole village.

"Old man, hurry up and put down your chopsticks, don't you see Li girl staring eagerly?"

The custom is that grandpa sets down the first chopsticks first, and everyone can start eating. Qingli couldn't wait to scoop up a spoonful of chicken soup to drink. It was so delicious. She just swallowed it all the time. Who would have thought that everything would be seen at the dinner table? She was called by her mother, no matter how thick-skinned she was, she was still a little shy.

"Okay, I'm talking too much, my granddaughter is still hungry."

When Mo Fulai heard what his wife said, he quickly picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks. After everyone saw it, they also started to put down their chopsticks one after another. The auntie also thoughtfully asked Qingli what she wanted to eat, and said something if she couldn't reach it.

The table is very big, filled with a large table, with sliced ​​fish, braised pork, stewed pheasant, and stir-fried Chinese cabbage. There are also a lot of autumn ears, shredded peppers and potatoes, and some fat in it. As for the sliced ​​meat, Mrs. Liu also brought the leftover boiled peanuts from home and put some chopped green onion on the eggs to make a bowl of chopped green onion omelette, and it was made of fine white noodles.

"These peanuts are so fragrant, even my father's teeth can eat them."

Uncle Mo Rujiang peeled the peanut skins, the five-spice peanuts were cooked, and they were soft and rotten when eaten. Grandpa Mo Fulai could eat them even if his teeth were not so good, and he could also serve wine. Often accompanied by wine.

"Father, mother, try this duck. It's called sweet-scented osmanthus duck, but it's bought from a restaurant in the county. It's a special feature. I don't know. I saw a lot of people queuing up."

What Mo Ruhu was talking about was the paper bag on the table. The duck inside was bright in color. It seemed to be roasted or sauced, but it was not as fat as the modern roast duck. It had already been sliced. Qing Li really wanted to try it. But no one put down the chopsticks, and she was not too embarrassed.

"well."

Grandpa Mo Fulai first picked a piece of duck leg meat for grandma Li Shi, and ate a piece himself, and kept nodding while chewing, "It's really delicious, and it also has a sweet-scented osmanthus flavor."

Seeing Qing Li staring straight at the sweet-scented osmanthus duck in the middle of the table, the second sister Qing Qiang stood up, lowered her chopsticks with great precision, grabbed a piece of meaty duck breast for her, and said, "here, eat quickly .”

Qingli is very grateful to the second sister now, because she found that as long as she stares at a dish for more than a few seconds, the second sister can accurately identify it and pick it up for her. This is simply the best material for a maid. , and the third brother Mo Zisong beside her, she really didn't want to eat anything, he didn't wink, she was speechless.

During the banquet, the men exchanged glasses, and even his eldest brother Mo Zigui was allowed to drink. Qing Li was right after thinking about it. The eldest brother has grown up in this era, even if there are a lot of fathers, it is not at all necessary to drink alcohol. What is it, but the third brother is a few years younger, still a bunch of childish, and has no interest in wine.

"When is the third family's house going to be built? August [-]th is a good day, and it's time to break ground."

Mo Fulai drank wine and ate vegetables, and felt that life was so beautiful. If his two sons were not by his side, the reunion at this time should be even better. The third son separated back then, because he had no ability and could not make money. What kind of money do you have, you planed to eat in the soil, otherwise with the money, the third child would be able to be admitted to Juren. Such a good seedling would be wasted. When the family was separated, I felt that I owed him a lot. I have been thinking about it for so many years. This time I know Being able to build a brick and tile house at home, I couldn't help but take my heart and drank a few more glasses.

"That's right, third brother, winter is coming soon, and we can't break ground when it's the twelfth lunar month." Mo Rujiang calculated that if his third brother said it, that kind of house would have to be built for more than a month, and it would have to be built. Furniture, warm the room.

"It's not fast to build a house. Now it's not busy farming. There are many idlers in the village. I pay fifteen cash a day, and I don't provide food. It's two cash more than in the town. I don't have to travel far, and it's just at the door of my house."

"Sister-in-law, I have to go back to the town after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I will trouble you and my elder brother about the family affairs, and the child's mother and the others will also have to bother for a while."
