Chapter 248 The Taste of Corn Stalks (Third Watch)
Everyone talked and laughed for a while, and Chen asked aloud: "Zhener, why didn't your aunt come back with her?"

"Grandma, I have to rely on my aunt to be busy with all the affairs in the house. My father wrote that he would come over soon. I asked my aunt to help clean up the yard. When my father comes, I can live in it. So my aunt is busy. I will come back in two days." Let aunt come back to see you." Qiaozhen didn't say anything about Ning Ziyan, she didn't want her family to worry about it.

"No hurry, I'm just asking. If the house is busy, don't rush to let your aunt come back. With her helping you, grandma can rest assured. What, the in-laws are coming? You have to take care of it. How long do you plan to stay this time?" Ah, can you live until the baby eats noodles?" Mrs. Chen was very happy to know that Lord Zhen was here.

"I don't think we can live there for that long. My father is busy, so I can live for about half a month." Qiaozhen didn't mention the war, because old people like peace and happiness.

"That's right, he is no better than our family. There is nothing wrong with our family. He has to worry about it all day long. Really, when your father-in-law comes, you have to serve him well. You have to be filial." Chen explained to her granddaughter.

"Grandma, I will." Qiaozhen nodded, she understands this.

Grandma Yu said with a smile: "Old sister, don't worry, you don't know that we are Qiaozhen, we are really good, we are good to everyone, how can you not be filial to your father-in-law. No one will believe you if you tell me."

"Yeah, my sister must be filial, don't worry." Qiaohong also answered, she has been standing behind Qiaozhen, she and Qiaozhen have the best relationship, looking at the big sister's belly she finds it novel, if it is not because of next year Kaichun is going to get married, she really wants to live in the eldest sister's house, take care of the eldest sister, watch the birth of the baby, and take care of the child.

Qiaozhen smiled, and patted Qiaohong's hand on her shoulder.

"But really, grandma is thinking about it, and I don't know whether to say it or not." Grandma Yu hesitated.

"Grandma, you can say whatever you want. If we have anything to say, just say it." Qiaozhen reassured Grandma Yu.

"Then grandma just said, Zhener, why does grandma think that your bosom and belly look like a girl." Grandma Yu has been observing Qiaozhen's belly.She felt that Qiaozhen was pregnant with a girl, and she was afraid that Qiaozhen would be offended if she said it out, so she hesitated.

Qiaozhen was taken aback, Grandma Yu still has this ability?Can you tell if it's a man or a woman?It must be based on those old sayings that the belly is pointed and the belly is round.There is no B-ultrasound here, and she really doesn't know if it is a man or a woman.

"Grandma, how nice is a girl. I like girls. Girls are good-looking and can wear flowery clothes. They are not like boys. They are so skinny. If I want to give birth to a boy, I will have a headache. If I give birth to a girl, it will be with me." What a good heart." Qiaozhen doesn't care about men and women.But the old man must be concerned. This topic has been mentioned more than once, and I can't help but say it after seeing it.

"My aunt thinks she's a girl too? I think so. Speaking of which, I don't feel good about it. I can't sleep well when it's dark. I'm afraid that if I have a girl, my son-in-law will hate me. But we happen to be able to give birth after giving birth, and then give birth to a boy. That's fine. There's nothing good about the in-laws." Zhou was also worried about this.

Qiaozhen is speechless, listen to what my mother said, one this year, one next year, then she doesn't have to do anything, she will only have children in her life.

"Okay, I'll give birth, I'll give birth to two children in three years." Qiaozhen joked, but she didn't know that her joke would come true.

Everyone was chatting and laughing, but Qiaozhen felt much better, and put Ning Ziyan's affairs aside.

At noon, I ate boiled corn and Luosheng, and cooked some corn porridge.I ate it with pickles.

The current corn and raw meat are very tender and taste sweet.Qiao really felt to her liking.

Speaking of corn porridge, it is actually very simple. It is to chop a corn, wash it a little, and pick off the corn stubble with your hands.Then take a knife and cut it into the pot, and cut it into the water in the pot one by one, and stir in the white batter after cooking for a while.

After rolling for a few times, it can be taken down. After it is finished, it tastes sweet and has a special taste.

The meal is very simple, but it happened to be very delicious. She couldn't help but think of the time when she just passed through. She wanted to sell corn and shengsheng to earn some money, but her father had to hesitate for a long time. He was afraid that she would waste the food. It's not good, the sister-in-law is noisy, and the father dare not continue to break the corn for her, feeling sorry for the food.

But now my father broke up a lot at once, fearing that the family would not have enough food, he had to bring some for himself so that he could eat as much as he wanted when he returned home. The difference in these days is really not small.

Chen Xuanyu looked at Qiaozhen with soft eyes, obviously thinking of the past.

In the second half of the day, the two went out for a walk. They met a lot of people on the road. They all greeted them with a smile, and asked Qiaozhen’s child, wishing Qiaozhen well. Chen Xuanyu and Qiaozhen responded one by one. Yes, although it is not prosperous here, most people are simple.

There are corns everywhere in the field, the corn grows very tall, and there are corn cobs on it, and the red corn whiskers are exposed on the corn cobs, Qiaozhen smiled.

"Yu, can you fold a corn stalk for me?" Qiaozhen looked at Chen Xuanyu and asked with a smile.

Although Chen Xuanyu didn't understand Qiaozhen's intentions, he still went to the field without saying a word.

He is a man of kung fu, and it is not easy to break a corn stalk.It's done in one go.

Qiaozhen took the corn stalk and cleaned the corn leaves on it. Then she folded the corn stalk vigorously, but it didn't break.

Chen Xuanyu folded it for Qiaozhen, and then handed it to Qiaozhen. He didn't understand what Qiaozhen was going to do.

Qiaozhen took it, looked at the two pieces of corn stalks, and then put it to his mouth and took a light bite.

"Zhen'er, don't eat." Chen Xuanyu hurriedly stopped her, he didn't expect that Qiaozhen wanted to eat it, why would she eat this?This is not a sweet vertical stalk, that one is sweet and has juice, and this one is corn stalks.How can I eat it?

Qiaozhen smiled, the corn stalks did not have the sweet taste in her memory, the juice was very little, with a little bit of sweetness, but there was still some stinky taste, the taste was not good, she was a little disappointed.

"When I was young, my family was very poor, and there was nothing delicious. I couldn't eat sweet sticks, let alone sugar cane. I had never heard of sugar cane at that time. There was no good one, and I had to touch and eat it myself. , I went to the field with my family to break the corn, my father and mother would chop a few corn stalks, clean them and put them in front of me, they worked, and I would sit there and eat the corn stalks.

I remember that when I was young, I ate very fragrant and thought it was very sweet. It was a rare good thing. I ate two sticks every time, and then I took one back with me. I would eat it the next day. I still miss it in winter. It tastes bad, but unfortunately I can’t eat it. Later, when I grew up, I ate sweet vertical stalks, sugar cane, and never ate corn stalks.

Today I suddenly remembered it, and wanted to taste it, but unfortunately, I can no longer taste that taste, maybe life is better, and now I don’t think anything is rare. "Qiaozhen said quietly, she misses the past a little bit, but the past is gone forever.

Chen Xuanyu listened quietly, he liked to know Qiaozhen's past, and hoped to know everything about her.

He looked at Qiaozhen's expression and didn't say anything else. He took a bite of the corn stalk in Qiaozhen's hand, and it tasted bad. He felt coquettish and wanted to spit it out, but finally swallowed it , Such a thing is a rare delicacy for Qiaozhen when he was young.It's really hard to imagine, he can understand why Qiaozhen in that world wants to marry a rich man, she doesn't want to live a hard life, there is nothing wrong with such thinking, it's just that she meets people unkindly.

However, in this era, Qiao really earned everything by herself. She no longer thinks about getting something for nothing, no longer greedy for vanity, and everything depends on her hard work.Today is the only way.She made herself feel sorry for such a person.

Chen Xuanyu went over and gently hugged Qiaozhen's shoulder.The two of them didn't speak, enjoying the faint warmth.

"Zhener, were you naughty when you were young? If we had a daughter, we might be like you. Were you good-natured when you were young?" Chen Xuanyu asked Qiaozhen.

Qiaozhen's face turned red all of a sudden, she glanced at Chen Xuanyu, and said, "No skin."

"That's weird." Qiaozhen added two more words, and Chen Xuanyu laughed.

"Tell me." He really wanted to hear Qiaozhen tell her about herself.

"Just talk about it, you are not allowed to laugh." Qiaozhen sat on the roadside field, leaning on Chen Xuanyu's shoulder, and told anecdotes about her childhood.

"I remember I was seven years old that year. One day I really wanted to eat canned food, but canned food is very expensive and a rare item. Normally, adults are reluctant to buy it for their children. My father still loves me. See I was so greedy that I took me to the small shop. The small shops in the village didn’t have all the goods. They usually only went to buy goods when they were almost sold out. When we went that day, there were only pears left in the small shop. canned.

But at that time, I didn’t really like pears. I liked eating oranges, so I insisted not to eat pears. I wanted canned oranges. My father coaxed me for a long time, saying that I would buy pears first and eat them later. When the canned oranges arrived, he brought me to buy them again, but I didn’t do anything, I just cried and cried and insisted on eating canned oranges. In the end, I was still rolling and splashing on the ground.No one could scream, and if anyone tried to pull me, I kicked him vigorously, making everyone say that I was not decent.

In the end, my father was so angry that he couldn't help but stepped forward and kicked me twice.One kicked my leg and the other kicked my butt. As soon as he kicked me, I was healed, stopped crying, and got up from the ground.followed my dad home.

This incident caused me to fail to eat canned food, not to mention oranges, I didn’t even eat pears. Dad was angry and refused to buy it, and was beaten.You say you can eat what you can, and you insist on doing it, but you are a child at that time and don't understand these things.Just follow your own temperament. "

Qiaozhen finished a story with a smile. Although this story does not reflect her naughtiness, it may show her self-willedness. She is willing to present her bad side in front of Chen Xuanyu, because she believes that Chen Xuanyu can tolerate her and Get to know her better.
