Chapter 6

A few people were saying, 'Dou Lin and Dou Hong's brother and sister are back.' As soon as they entered the door, Dou Lin shouted loudly'

"Elder sister, 'We're back, look quickly, this is the grass we planted for rabbits' and it's all good grass, I listen to the elder brother's words, 'I don't want any of the dirty ones." Dou Lin held a big bamboo basket in one hand, Holding sister Dou Hong's hand with one hand, trotting all the way to the elder sister, raising her proud face, and handing the basket to Dou Hua, a little flower with a big smile on her face.

"Hey, my little brother is really capable." Dou Hua glanced at the half-filled basket of grass, and praised directly, "reached out to take the basket and put it aside, and hugged Dou Lintuo with one hand," took out a handkerchief and wiped it for him That little face. "Why did Dacao make himself into a pretty face?"

"Eldest sister, there is me, there is me, why did you forget me, these grasses are not only made by the second brother, but also me." Little Dou Hong saw that the eldest sister picked up the second brother to praise, but she refused. , the small pink mouth pouted, the eye sockets turned red, and the big eyes were full of water, as if tears were about to fall.

"My little sister, don't cry, the eldest sister knows you are there." Dou Hua bent down, stretched out her other arm, and hugged little Dou Hong. With a resounding kiss on the face, Xiao Dou Hong immediately smiled through tears, put her arms around Dou Hua's neck, and giggled happily.

Dou Hua put her arms around the other, and turned around quickly on the spot a few times. She remembered that children like to play with this kind of excitement. Sure enough, the two little guys waved their arms and laughed happily.

Dou Qing and Dou Cui looked at them playing around, with smiles on their faces, and a hint of envy in their eyes, they had never been hugged by their eldest sister like this when they were young, but their father was still there at that time, and his father was playing with them several times.

"Okay, okay, you're happy now, big sister can't hold her anymore, go down, I'll take you two to wash, and see that you have become little cats." Turning around a few times, even if Dou Hua has great strength, it is inevitable that she will be a little out of breath.

"Hahaha~ It's so fun." Dou Hong waved her arms and giggled, hugging Dou Hua's neck without letting go.In the end, it was Dou Hua who carried the two little guys to the kitchen, fetched water, and washed them.

Dou Cui found a dilapidated basket, spread a layer of soft hay, and put the basket in the corner of the rabbit pen. This is a simple rabbit nest for rabbits.

According to what Dou Hua told him before, Dou Qing knew that rabbits could not eat unclean and dewy grass. He checked the grass that Dou Lin and the others brought back. Most of them were clean. It seemed that Dou Lin was quite healthy. Obedient, I picked out some grass that was contaminated with dirt, and saw that the grass was also dry without dew, so I grabbed a few and threw it into the rabbit pen.

The rabbits were already hungry. When they saw the grass, they moved their little noses and smelled the grass. They pricked up their ears and listened from the corner. Seeing that there was no danger, they ran to the grass and gnawed on it. .

Dou Qing and Dou Cui who were hiding aside saw the rabbit grazing, looked at each other and laughed.

Dou Hua led the two little ones to the kitchen. After cleaning them, they prepared dinner for tonight. There was still a big piece of meat left by my uncle yesterday. It won't break for a few days, but it won't last long either.

There is no refrigerator or anything here, so there is really no good way to preserve freshness. Either salt it, or boil it and then salt it. If possible, they will dig a cellar to store food in it, and it won’t last too long. , The key is to prevent mice from stealing.

Dou Hua didn't think about keeping the meat for a long time, so as to save what to eat. The little ones in her family couldn't eat or drink for a long time, and they were all skinny and malnourished.

So this time Dou Hua directly took out a piece of meat, cut it into long cubes, pulled a few pieces of fat and put it in the pot, and when the oil was exhausted, put the remaining meat strips directly into the pot for frying, and poured some newly bought soy sauce on it Color it, add two bowls of water after frying, sprinkle with coarse salt grains and stew directly.

Dou Hua is in charge of cooking, and the job of cooking the fire belongs to Dou Lin. Regardless of his young age, he cooks well and is better than Dou Hua. After handing firewood, the three siblings talked and laughed while cooking.

"Sister, it smells so good, we still eat meat at night." Dou Lin smelled the smell of meat, and his saliva flooded.

"Well, we still eat meat tonight. We have a large piece of meat, and we eat meat these days." Dou Hua said.

"Haha, that's great, I have meat every day." Dou Hong said happily, clapping her little hands.

After adding water to the meat pot, put a grate on it, and heat the pancakes left over from yesterday and a few buns bought from the market on top. After a while, the meat is cooked, and the pancakes and buns are also hot. Just in time for dinner.

Dou Hua told Dou Lin to add less firewood, to cook slowly, and not to dry out the pot. She cleaned and washed the wild vegetables that Dou Hong picked today. Now they have no other vegetables to eat. They were planted last year. Cabbage and radishes have been eaten long ago, and now they pick some wild vegetables to eat. In fact, at this time, many people in the village are like this. Barely filling their stomachs, most people will go to the wild to pick wild vegetables.

For wild vegetables, Dou Hua has nothing against them. In modern times, wild vegetables are called health-preserving vegetables, and they are more expensive than ordinary vegetables. People in the city like to eat them most, for the sake of health and weight loss.

Dou Hua was choosing vegetables, thinking about what to plant. In March in Yangchun, the weather was getting warmer every day, and it was time to plant vegetables.This is the advantage of rural areas. Every family has a large yard, and there is a lot of open space behind the house. These places are good places to grow vegetables. They are easy to eat when they grow vegetables. Add a few more to the food Taste, improve the food.

Soon Dou Hua picked out a small pot of vegetables and washed them clean, lifted the lid of the pot, put the hot pancakes and buns into a small basket, and asked Dou Lin to serve them on the table. The meat under the grate had been stewed, and the water added before There was only a small half left. Dou Hua put the wild vegetables in and stir-fried a few times with a shovel. After the wild vegetables were green, sprinkle a few drops of sour vinegar and stir-fry twice.

Dou Qing and Dou Cui made a nest for the rabbits, fed them with grass, and took the two little ones outside to wash their hands before eating.

This time Dou Hua cooked a lot of meat and wild vegetables, and there was a whole pot. Dou Cui was careful, so she took out a bowl and put some of it in the cabinet, saving these things for tomorrow morning.

The meal was served on the table, and several people sat around the table on small benches. Dou Hua and Dou Qing only ate four of the buns before, and now there are six left, so they stopped eating. Thinking that one person and two were distributed to the three younger siblings.

"There are six buns. Your elder brother and I have already eaten them. Now these are yours. Two for each of you. Here, take it." Dou Hua took out the buns from the basket, and distributed them to Dou Cui and her brother one by one.

Unexpectedly, the three brothers and sisters all acted in unison to push out a steamed stuffed bun, insisting that the eldest sister eat it, and even threatened that if the eldest sister didn't eat it, they would not eat it.

"Sister, let's have one for each of us, and you can eat the rest." Dou Cui looked at the buns in front of her, only took one, and pushed the remaining one back.

Seeing the second sister like this, Dou Lin and Dou Hong naturally refused to ask for two buns, and only took one bun.

"Eldest sister has already eaten, these are left for you, be obedient, take them and eat." Dou Hua persuaded.

"No, Eldest Sister said that there are good things to share together. Of course, we should eat buns together. After we eat them, Eldest Sister will lose them. Eldest Sister is the oldest in the family, so she should eat more." Dou Lin said nonsense.

"How can there be such a reason, you are now growing your body, you should eat more." Dou Hua said.

"I don't care, if the elder sister doesn't eat it, we won't either." Dou Lin began to play tricks, although he kept staring at the bun in his hand, obviously very reluctant.

"Yes, yes, we don't eat anymore." Dou Hong said with a small mouth, really imitating the example.

"Okay, you guys are really sensible, I can eat whatever I want, Dou Qing and the others have them, this is for you, don't say no, or I'll be really angry." Dou Hua said.

Seeing this, Dou Qing had no choice but to take the bun.

The little ones all had one bun, but she herself had two buns. Facing such sensible siblings, Dou Hua felt that it was really stressful. The little ones didn't care what she thought. He started happily nibbling on the steamed bun in his hand, nibbling in small mouthfuls, squinting his eyes to enjoy the delicious steamed stuffed bun with a satisfied expression on his face.

Dou Hua looked at the steamed stuffed bun in her hand with complicated eyes, and then raised her head to look at the little ones who were just eating the steamed stuffed bun with such contented expressions. Dou Hua only felt sore in her heart. They were still children, so they realized it at such a young age. Despite the hardships of life, she still insists on keeping the best and most for herself. There has never been a moment when Dou Hua has experienced the beauty of family love so much, and she has become more determined in her heart. She will work hard to let her lovely siblings live well Warm day.

The whole family ate the delicious meat buns, and the meat and vegetables were very sweet, and everyone ate their mouths full of oil. This was the best meal they had in the past few months, and soon the food on the table was wiped out. After the meal was swept away, everyone drank two more bowls of hot water. The stomachs of five people, big and small, were all chubby, which meant that they were really full.

After dinner, the sky darkened, and Dou Cui took advantage of the last light to wash the pots, bowls and chopsticks. She was afraid that lighting the oil lamp would waste oil, and Dou Hua didn't have much activity at night, so the family climbed into bed early and got under the covers.
