Notes on Leisurely Living in the Farm

Chapter 16

On some dark kang, Yiyou's nose was pinched, and her mother's voice came from her ear: "Damn girl, just pretend."

"It hurts, mother, take it easy."

Yiyou opened her eyes, just now she managed to calm her grandma and the second uncle's family, and she was carried all the way home by her father.Now father goes out to smoke, leaving mother alone to watch over.

"My head was really knocked, and it really hurts to touch it."

A hand stretched out from the head again: "You know it hurts, but you still hit it, you are lacking in mind."

Yiyou covered her head and said in a low voice: "If I don't hit you, can dad be so cruel? Mother, there is an old saying: those who are stupefied are afraid of being violent, and those who are violent are afraid of death. If father is not here, our mother and I will tell the truth. Mother A kind son is filial, grandma can't be called a loving mother at all, so it's only natural for her son to be unfilial."

Li sighed: "That's what I said, but..."

Yiyou was a little anxious: "You and dad are not easy to speak because of filial piety, but I am a child, but no one makes irresponsible remarks. We have endured for so many years, and we have been bullied wantonly. Mother, if we endure it any longer, I really have to Going to be a student for the magistrate of the county, following the wishes of the family over there, and helping Chunsheng enter the government school by blowing the wind."

"A girl's house, there is no door on her mouth. You are so stupid as a mother, your father's head is just like yours, a big elm lump, you can't break it with a hammer."

Taking another blow to the forehead, Yiyou howled in pain.It turned out that she had misunderstood her mother, who was also a fierce one.

"Mother, daughter, I don't know what's wrong. You see, because I almost turned into a fool, adults don't remember the villain's faults, and forgive the past."

Yiyou made a bow, although her head hurt, her heart was full of joy.Because of her change, Niang is not as humble as she was in her previous life.

"Does it still hurt? I'll cover it with some cold water."

This is no longer angry, Yiyou breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, mother, I looked like I hit the table hard, but in fact I pushed the table with my hands. If I hit it with my head, I would have gone to the underworld to see Lord Hades at that time." gone."

Mrs. Li patted her mouth: "What nonsense are you talking about, don't do this kind of thing in the future, mother will be there for everything."

"Well, mother, how do you know, I'm pretending to be dizzy."

Mrs. Li drained the water and put it on her daughter's head: "Silly girl, Jiang is still old and hot. You are my daughter, and you are really as capable as your mother."

Yiyou understood that the situation of the Li family was not much better than that of the Shen family.Her mother is a girl's family, and she bears the inauspicious reputation of being a dragon and a phoenix. If she wants to grow up safely, she can't do it without a trick.

"Mom, I was the one who was bad before."

What responded to her was Li Shi's warm embrace.When Shen Fuxiang came in, he saw the two mothers snuggling together, with a wet cloth wrapped around her daughter's head.

"Are you awake?"

"father."

"Don't be like this in the future, there is a father in everything."

Yiyou looked at her mother's eyes from the corner of her eye, and nodded: "Father, Changsheng is back?"

As soon as the words fell, Changsheng's voice came from outside: "Sister, Shunzi said that your head was broken."

Sunja said?Yiyou's lips curled up. From the second uncle's house to hers, it took more than half of Yunlin Village, and she must have met a lot of people along the way.

That stupid girl, the fourth son of the Shen family, fell to the second uncle's house and fell into a coma. If the news got out, what would outsiders think of Shen Fuhai?Unexpectedly, this time it kills two birds with one stone.

She was not happy, but frowned and lowered her head: "Father, if my daughter is like this today, I'm afraid it's causing trouble for the second uncle for no reason."

Taking retreat as advance, Shen Fuxiang would never play tricks on his daughter.Compared with his generous daughter, his second brother is even more stingy.

Thinking of this, he blurted out: "Erya just needs to take care of herself, this matter has nothing to do with you. If they come to your door, I will have my father to support me."

Yiyou was originally a fierce general, but after seeing his father do this without saying a word, he was still unspeakably moved.In the two lifetimes before and after, although father was a bit cowardly, he had a heart to protect her.

"father."

Just as he was about to say something, Chang Sheng pushed open the door and ran in, holding two round stones in his hands, and rushed directly to the edge of the kang.

"My sister's head was really broken, and the second uncle actually hit my sister."

The family couldn't laugh or cry, Yiyou didn't explain much, but looked at the stone in his hand.Compared with the white stone used to steam buns yesterday, these two pieces seem to be more transparent.

A new idea came to her mind, she picked up the stone that Changsheng was still on the kang: "Did you go to Baishidui with Brother Yu?"

The little guy looked cautious, and hurriedly hid the stone behind his back with the other hand: "I didn't run away on purpose, I didn't disobey my sister."

Seeing how frightened he was, Yi You smiled and said, "Sister didn't say you did something wrong, where did you pick up the stone of longevity?"

"Mu's brother and I ran to the pile of stones and saw a hole there. The stones in the hole were very white, so we picked some up."

After a while, the elder brother grew older and the elder brother became shorter. It seems that the two get along well.Mu Yu has always been a good child, Changsheng will learn a lot by staying with him, and at the same time, he can make up for the mistakes of his previous life.

"You picked it up yourself?"

Seeing that his sister didn't object, Chang Sheng said it all at once: "No, I took a small one, and there are two bigger ones from Brother Mu's. He came back with me, hey, where is he?"

Yiyou stared at the little shadow at the door, got up and shouted outside: "Brother Yu, why are you standing outside, the sun is so bright, come in quickly."

A small head poked out from behind the door, Mu Yu walked in slowly, and took out two big stones: "Sister Erya, I stained Changsheng's clothes, don't blame him."

This child is so sensible every time that makes people feel distressed.

Yiyou took the stone and patted his head: "It's not your fault, Changsheng is naughty, it's like rolling in the mud every day. You two wash your hands first and play first, Erya will make flower rolls for you."

"You are going to eat, then I will go home first."

Changsheng pulled him back: "Brother Mu Yu, you can stay and eat with me, my sister will cook something delicious for you."

Yiyou also persuaded: "Your brother is at the market today, and there must be no one at home to cook. If you stay at noon, you can be a company of longevity, okay?"

After a long silence, Mu Yu nodded: "Thank you Uncle and Aunt Shen, and Sister Erya."

"Just treat this as your own home, go and play quickly, and don't go far in the yard."

After giving instructions, when the two little guys go out, Yiyou puts on her shoes and gets off the kang, regardless of her parents' hesitation to speak.Holding the edge of the Kang to stand firm, she walked slowly towards the kitchen.

"Mother, come and light the fire."

Children in the country are not so delicate, and they don't have the rule of staying in bed whenever they bump into each other.Shen Fuxiang saw that his daughter was fine, so he put away the ingredients he bought from the market with confidence.

Yiyou hit the flint, and before she could light it, Mrs. Li walked in and snatched it from her hand.

"Mom, then I'll go make noodles. Our family has just made money, so we have to make a good meal anyway."

Although Li Shi has always been diligent and thrifty in managing her family, she is not stingy.In the past, the family was helpless, but now that they have the conditions, they will not wrong my daughter no matter what.

"Stew some broth today, all with white noodles."

The mouth was drooling instinctively, and Yiyou also regained her spirits.Putting the reconciliation noodles on the kang feet to warm them, she threw white stones into the pot to boil water.Sure enough, as she expected, compared with the grayish white stones picked up casually, the stones picked up by Changsheng made the water clearer and took a shorter time to boil.

Scoop it up and taste it, the taste is even sweeter, even comparable to the plum blossom snow dew she used in the Chen Mansion in her previous life.

This can be said to be a surprise, and Li Shi looked at it in amazement.

"Erya, we will use this water to steam buns in the future."

Unexpectedly, Yiyou shook her head: "Mom, we still have to use the old water. Keep this thing well, and use it for cooking at home, so you don't need to make a fuss about it."

Ever since her daughter came up with the idea of ​​steamed stuffed buns, Li Shi has attached great importance to her opinion. At this moment, she did not object directly, but raised her head and asked, "What does Erya think?"

"Mother, I think selling steamed stuffed buns is just like our ordinary people's life. If you start eating big fish and meat, you will soon get bored of it. But if you start eating bran-soaked vegetables and occasionally change white flour steamed buns, you will feel very tired." it is good.

Let's keep this method in hand, whether it is used for other purposes or used after a while, it is better than using it now. "

Li's eyes lit up, and her daughter really impressed her.

"Mother listens to Er Ya, she has a lot of energy on that side, and this meeting should be almost done."

Yiyou went back to the house, opened the curtain and looked at the swollen white noodles, steamed buns were about the same level.Shen Fuhai, who carried the vegetables and meat into the cellar, consciously came in to stretch the noodles.

The man has great strength, and after a while, the sticky dough turns into a docile white dough.Li used a knife to cut the dough into evenly sized doughs, and Yiyou took one and kneaded it, and cut it into two halves.

She has been dexterous since she was a child. Before Changsheng was born, she was the only child in the family and was always held in the hands of her parents.When Dad was free, he used the clay in the field to pinch little rabbits and tigers for her to play with.After watching it a few times, she still looks decent when she pinches it.

When she was in the Chen Mansion in her previous life, she worked hard to learn cooking skills.Although it is a bit raw now, it didn't take long to find the hand feeling.Pinching and kneading, concentrating on fiddling, a tiger's head appeared on his hand.

Then pinch the body of the tiger, put the two phases together, and a little tiger comes to life.

"Erya's hand is really clever."

Yiyou patted her hands all over her face: "I'm following my father."

Shen Fuxiang, who was burning the fire, blushed: "Your mother's hands are quite skillful."

Continue to make a little tiger, and Yiyou is also interested.Continue kneading the dough, made two little hedgehogs, carps and rabbits, finished eight of them in one go, and Mrs. Li also kneaded out the steamed buns.

Covering and continuing to ferment, she washed her hands and listened to the sound of Changsheng and Mu Yu playing outside.The breeze blows, bringing the breath of willows. This kind of peaceful day makes people comfortable and at ease.
