Splendid Pastoral: The Strong and Hot Wife

Chapter 10 Family
Hearing what his daughter said, Xu Erqiang wiped away his tears with his sleeves, and helped carry things and put them in the basket. Xu Xiaomi helped lift Xu Erqiang to carry them on his back. The father and daughter walked and chatted about what happened after entering the city.

Hearing that Wuniangvine can be sold for 21 coins, Xu Erqiang couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and said that he would step on more in the mountains tomorrow.

After more than an hour, they finally arrived home. The blisters on Xu Xiaomi's feet were all worn out. When she stepped on her shoes and walked to the door, she simply took off her shoes and walked into the yard barefoot.

The father picked her up distressedly when he saw it, and walked into the room. The mother was putting on the soles of the shoes. When she saw the father and daughter coming back, she stood up happily and said, "Are you back? Are you hungry? Go eat, it's still hot in the pot." !"

Xu Erqiang put his daughter on the stool and said, "Mother, please go and boil some hot water to scald my daughter's feet! There are many blisters on her feet, and they even burst.

See if there is any leftover cloth from making clothes at home to make a pair of shoes for my daughter!Erniu's shoes are too short for her. "

Xu Erqiang rubbed Xu Xiaomi's feet with his hands in distress.Xu Xiaomi was moved to tears.

"Oh! I know! I don't know how long my daughter's feet are when she comes back, so I'll measure them, and I'll make them today."

Mother also came over and took her feet gently with her hands to have a look, her eyes were red.He hurriedly stood up and said, "I'll go to the hot water..."

He turned around and walked into the kitchen, wiping tears as he walked.Xu Xiaomi looked at his father and then at his mother's back and asked, "Mother, where are Er Niu and San Niu? Why aren't you at home?"

She doesn't want everyone to be sad for her, the difficulties are only temporary as long as they get through.So, she deliberately drew attention away.

"Ah! The two of them went to the back of the house and said they were going to collect firewood too. I'll call them back when I light the fire." Xu Xiaomi listened to her mother's crying answer, not only her feet were warmed by her father's rubbing It's warm, and it's warm in my heart.She is willing to pay more for her parents who love her so much.

"Let me go and call them! Just take a look at them. There is no danger in this mountain, but if they have too much firewood, they can't carry it!" Her father felt that her feet were warm, so he stood up and walked to the back of the house.

The mother came out of the stove and brought a bowl of hot black paste to her hand and said, "Come on! Eat some hot food to warm your body first."

Xu Xiaomi took the bowl without even looking at it, and drank it after a few sips.His body was also warm, at this time Xu Erqiang came in carrying a bundle of branches, Er Niu and San Niu followed behind.

San Niu saw Xu Xiaomi sitting on the stool and ran over barefoot and took her hand and asked distressedly: "Sister, why are your feet like this? There are injuries everywhere."

"It's okay! My sister just hasn't walked for a long time, and it's like this after walking too far today." Xu Xiaomi said to her sister with a smile and kissed her dirty forehead.San Niu took advantage of the situation and leaned on her body to be intimate.

"Sister, is it too far to go to the market? Next time, take me with you! I have plenty of strength." Er Niu came over and took her other hand and said.

"Okay! I will take you with me next time, but you have to be obedient!" Xu Xiaomi stretched out her hand and pinched Er Niu's nose.

It made San Niu hug her arm and giggle, and said, "I'm going too, I'm going too! Sister, take me with you next time! I want to go too."

"Okay! You want to go too. Our third girl also wants to go. After my sister earns money, I will take you to the county and the capital..." Xu Xiaomi listened to the two younger brothers and sisters. If so, pinch this nose and that face fondly.

After eating, Xu Erqiang walked out with his wife and saw the three siblings with a gratified smile on his face.

The mother took a basin in the yard and went into the house to fetch hot water and brought it to her feet and said: "My daughter soaks her feet first."

When Xu Xiaomi watched her mother squatting down and rubbing her feet, she couldn't control her tears anymore, she stretched out her arms and hugged her mother's shoulders and began to cry.

I don't know whether it is moving or sad, but here my mother washes her feet herself.In the 21st century China, she also went to the footwashing room near the school to wash other people's feet for living expenses and seeing a doctor for her father.

Although she didn't look down on that profession or no one looked down on her in person.However, no one in that industry will sing praises.

Her mother only knew to ask her for money every day.Never cared where her money came from.After her father passed away, she also wanted to treat her only mother well.However, she is going to marry again soon.There was very little contact after that.

This mother's love for her surpassed the standard mother's love for her child in her heart.She touched her to feel happy that she could meet such parents, and at the same time feel heartbroken for herself in her previous life.

The mother hurriedly asked Erniu to bring the foot cloth to wipe off the water on her feet, put her arms around her and sat on the stool and said, "Don't be sad, it's useless for mother to protect you and let you eat outside." Too much suffering. In the future, we will be together as a family, and no one will want to hurt my child."

After hearing this, Xu Xiaomi wiped away her tears. The mother and daughter leaned on each other, and San Niu leaned on her mother. Er Niu came to wipe her face with her little hands and said, "Sister, we will be fine in the future, don't cry anymore." I will protect you when I grow up."

Li Rongrong!How much virtue did you accumulate in your previous life!You actually met such a nice family when you came here. You have lived for Xu Xiaomi in this life.

If you don't treat them well in the future, God will not tolerate you.She let go of her mother: "Mom! I bought a lot of things today, including meat and lard. Tonight we will stew bone soup and roast pig intestines."

Mother looked at her lovingly touching her face and said, "Okay! We will eat whatever you say!"

Xu Xiaomi did what she said, and she asked Erniu to bring her the shoes, and she stepped on the rag shoes and walked to the kitchen.

He took out the bones and pig intestines from the basket and went to the well at the door to clean the intestines.

She turned the large intestine upside down to wash the dirt out, scraped off the oil with the back of a knife, then rubbed the intestine with plant ash and put it on a grass handle and covered it with a basin.

After washing the bones, put them in a large pot of water in the stove, and start to raise the fire. In fact, she was afraid of starting the fire. How could a lighter and matches be useful to start the fire with flint and steel?
Every time she has to fight for half a day to rise up.However, she knew that in this family she had to learn, and she would learn quickly, so she could only do it a few more times.

The fire was raised, and when the water in the pot boiled, she put the pig bones in the pot, put two big branches in the stove, got up and took out the rice noodles in the basket and put them away.

Then pickled the pound of pork belly with a little salt and put it in a clay pot.Take the piece of lard outside to fetch water and wash it, then go back to the house and cut it with a knife, where it will be refined later.

When the bone soup turned white, Xu Xiaomi put salt into the soup and the scent immediately wafted out.

Er Niu, who was cutting vegetables for the little pheasant, was so greedy that he sniffed and asked, "Sister, what did you cook that smells so delicious? My saliva is drooling!"

Xu Xiaomi came out and cleaned the large intestine and said, "It's bone soup, isn't it delicious?"

"Mmm! Smells! It's so fragrant! Can I drink it now?" Er Niu looked at this lovely sister expectantly.

"Look at your greedy face, you can't drink now, let's go on for a while! Let you drink enough tonight."Xu Xiaomi smiled and said to his brother.

San Niu ran over and hugged her leg and said, "Sister, you are so kind! I want to drink too."

Xu Xiaomi squatted down holding the large intestine and rubbed his face on his sister's face and said, "Okay! San Niu wants to drink too, and sister also makes roasted fat intestines for you to eat, okay?"

"Good! It's good to have you, sister!"
Sanniu followed her to the kitchen and watched her add dried wild vegetables to the bone soup, her eyes darkened. Xu Xiaomi noticed it and said, "Don't Sanniu want to eat wild vegetables?"

"Surther's tastes bad..." San Niu whispered as if she was afraid of being heard.

"Tonight's will be delicious, but if Sanniu doesn't want to eat it, then don't eat it later!" Hearing what her sister said, Sanniu lowered her head shyly.

The bone stew was ready, Xu Xiaomi put it in a clay pot, and started to burn the fat intestines.

well!No sauerkraut, no ginger and garlic, only chili, okay!Xu Xiaomi wants to make it as delicious as possible!It cannot be delicious without condiments.

Xu Xiaomi grabbed a handful of peppers, chopped them, put the seeds in a dustpan to dry, took out the large intestines with water, chopped them, and stir-fried them in a pan. When the oil from the large intestines came out, put the chopped peppers Put salt in the pot and let the oil fry the peppers to taste and then start the pot.

San Niu was suffocated by the chili and ran away long ago, Er Niu in the yard choked and sneezed one after another, and the mother was also choked by the spicy and spicy smell and walked to the spacious place.

"Sister, what are you burning? It's so choking!" Er Niu couldn't take it anymore and ran out of the yard.

"What are you running for? It's getting dark and you're going to eat right away?" Xu Xiaomi came out and said to Er Niu who ran out.

In the end, Er Niu still couldn't stand the temptation of delicious food. He just ran out and came back when he heard that he had eaten.

Xu Xiaomi set up the bowls and chopsticks, and brought the braised fatty intestines to the table.Mother lit a torch to light up the room.

Father carried a bundle of dry firewood in front of the stove door.Xu Xiaomi hurriedly fetched water for his father to wash his hands and face.He also asked Er Niu and San Niu to wash their hands, and then the family sat around the table and started eating, each serving a bowl of bone soup first.

When burning fat sausage, Xu Xiaomi made a few cakes on the side of the pot. Each person ate the white flour cakes and drank bone soup, and then took a mouthful of spicy and fragrant fat sausage. It was so delicious!

Xu Xiaomi provided food for her parents, added soup for her younger siblings, and also ate the roasted sausage with only chili peppers.She felt that the family members who had a lot of bad taste were full of praise.

"Girl, this large intestine is really delicious, and the chili in it tastes better than anything else!" The father said with a smile.

"Hmm! That's right, sister, your cooking is really delicious!" Er Niu also praised her.

In fact, his younger brother is very rare, although he is only seven years old, he looks very old.

The mother also nodded and said it was delicious, "Yeah! My daughter did a good job, but it was a bit spicy!"

"Father, mother, Erniu, eat more if it tastes good! Come and sister Sanniu will serve you a bowl of soup."

Xu Xiaomi was about to get Sanniu's bowl, Sanniu hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No more sister, I'm so full tonight, I've never eaten so full. My sister's cooking is so delicious!" Sanniu I didn't dare to eat spicy food, so I ate cakes and drank bone soup.

"delicious!"

"Ok!"

"Sister Yumei will make it for you often in the future?" Xu Xiaomi pinched Sanniu's face with her hands and asked.Had a great time with this dinner.
