Travel through the farmhouse leisurely

Chapter 64

After about an hour or so, the fragrant, hot rice dumplings with various fillings were steaming out of the pan. Lin Xiaoqiao looked at the rice dumplings she made herself, most of them had been loosened, and the glutinous rice inside the leaves Leaving it out, the appearance can be said to be "horrible".

Looking at these unrecognizable zongzi, she had no choice but to sigh "No one is perfect" to everyone, which made everyone laugh for a while, but she didn't care too much, and even gave them a few supercilious glances.

Then, I put aside those zongzi made by myself that look really bad, and I couldn’t wait to try the zongzi made by others, and I strongly demanded the zongzi with fillings.

Lin Erniu picked one up for her, peeled off the zongzi leaves neatly, there was a fragrance and smell, it was like a bacon zongzi, after taking a bite, the mouth was full of fragrance, Lin Xiaoqiao took a few mouthfuls of a zongzi After swallowing it, it tastes really good.

Lin Xiaoxi ate a rice dumpling with salted egg yolk. Seeing how intoxicated she was, it was also very delicious.

However, Da Lang ate a rice dumpling filled with red dates. Although it tasted good, he wanted to taste the bacon meat dumpling even more, so he swallowed a few mouthfuls and went to fight for the second dumpling.

Erlang was the same as Lin Xiaoqiao, he was the first to eat the zongzi wrapped in bacon, seeing how he enjoyed eating, needless to say, he was also very satisfied with the zongzi.

In the end, these dumplings with fillings were well received by everyone, especially the salted meat dumplings and egg yolk dumplings, which were highly praised by everyone.

Seeing Lin Xiaoqiao's unconcealable complacency, the Dalang brothers were very proud of themselves, praising Lin Xiaoqiao for being so good at eating, that he could think of adding so many fillings to the rice dumplings.

So, with a big wave of his hand, Mrs. Li promised everyone that since everyone loves to eat this way, the dumplings for the Dragon Boat Festival will be made like this every year in the future.

Li's husband and wife looked at the four children in front of them, eating zongzi deliciously, with a satisfied look on their faces, and their hearts were also filled with happiness and satisfaction.

After all the zongzi were cooked, Mrs. Li began to pack up and send them away. Firstly, Mrs. Li's natal family, and then the shopkeeper Zhou of the Yunlai Restaurant in the town. Without his help, the matter would not have gone so smoothly. Both Li and his wife are grateful to him.

For these two rituals, Mrs. Li prepared five catties of pork, plus twenty rice dumplings with various fillings, and each a pack of pastries bought from a pastry shop in the town. Light, but this is also a mind after all.

As for the old house of the Lin family, Mrs. Li did not send them the zongzi made by themselves, but as early as yesterday, he asked Da Lang to send two catties of glutinous rice and a few feet of cotton cloth to the big house of the Lin family. Enough for two old people for the holidays.

Later, Mrs. Li looked at the really large number of rice dumplings, thought for a while, took a small basket, filled it with ten rice dumplings made of red beans and red dates, and asked Lin Erniu to bring them to Lizheng's house.

Lizheng's family was naturally very happy, especially Lizheng's mother-in-law, who also took six zongzi from the zongzi made by herself, and asked Lin Erniu to bring them back, so they could taste them for Lin Xiaoqiao and his siblings.

After eating two rice dumplings, Lin Xiaoqiao felt a little full, so he refused to eat any more, and planned to save his stomach for the big meal at noon.

Lin Xiaoqiao watched Li Shi keep picking up the rice dumplings that were out of the pot, so he suggested that she should send some rice dumplings to their neighbors, so that the relationship between the neighbors would be good, wouldn't it?
After hearing this, Mrs. Li thought it was very reasonable, and secretly called herself negligent, so she also packed up ten rice dumplings and asked Lin Xiaoqiao to carry them to a family next door.

Lin Xiaoqiao happily carried a small basket and ran to the family next door to them. Speaking of their neighbors, Lin Xiaoqiao felt that this family seemed a little mysterious, and they also lived in the new house for several days But they have never met their neighbors, and they don't know what kind of people their neighbors are, as if the family rarely opened the door on weekdays.

Lin Xiaoqiao looked at the small farmyard in front of him. The small door made of wood is quite strong. It is not as big and grand as his own house, but it is also a brick and tile house, but the yard looks smaller. .

She knocked on the wooden door with her hand, and after a short while, there was a sound of footsteps. When she opened the door, Lin Xiaoqiao was stunned. Isn't this the young scholar who helped her last time?This is really a coincidence, I really didn't expect their neighbor to be him.

Chen Xuewen was also a little surprised. He was helping his mother cook in the kitchen when he heard a knock on the door. He was wondering who would come to the door, but when he opened the door, it was the little girl from the second room of the Lin family.

After a while, both of them came back to their senses quickly. Lin Xiaoqiao looked at Chen Xuewen who was also astonished, and said with a smile: "Brother Xuewen, I didn't expect you to be my neighbor. My mother asked me to send you some rice dumplings." Try it, it has a lot of stuffing in it, it’s delicious.” Then he handed the basket to him.

Chen Xuewen looked at the little man with the sachet hanging in front of him and the word "King" drawn on his forehead. The aura on his body could always easily attract his mind, that kind of familiarity that seemed long-lost It came quietly again.

Hearing her sweet and natural tone, calling him "Brother Xuewen" and kindly giving him the rice dumplings made by himself, he felt a strange feeling in his heart again. .

Lin Xiaoqiao looked at the handsome young man in front of him, wearing plain homely clothes, looking at himself with fixed eyes but without any offensive intentions, standing there in a state of ecstasy, not picking himself up for a long time The basket in his hand felt very funny.

So, she gently tugged at his clothes, pouted and reminded, "Brother Xuewen, why don't you pick up my basket? The rice dumplings made by my family this year are delicious, and we have all tasted them." I just gave it to you, I guarantee you won’t regret it after eating it!” said while blinking their bright eyes.

Chen Xuewen came back to his senses, looked at her cute little appearance, smiled gently, then opened the door, and said softly: "Come in first and sit for a while, I'll put the zongzi away, and put the basket in later Here you go. Don’t worry, I will definitely try your rice dumplings.”

Lin Xiaoqiao took advantage of the opportunity to enter the house, and took a look at Chen Xuewen's house. The yard was not too big, and some vegetables were planted in it, but it didn't raise some chickens, piglets and other livestock like other farmers' houses. It was clean and tidy, and some flowers and plants were planted.

While she was looking at the small courtyard of Chen's family, a young woman came out from the kitchen. This person was Chen Xuewen's mother - Widow Zheng.

Widow Zheng was wearing a half-worn lotus-colored cotton dress. She had a fair face and beautiful features. Her head was full of black hair combed into a cum, and there were two silver hairpins on her head.
