Xiao Hei scratched his head, "I recognize the vegetable garden, but I don't recognize the cabbage..."
"Are you kidding? Our family eats cabbage every day. You ate two big bowls of cabbage dumplings last night and you forgot about it? Every time you burp, it smells like cabbage. Why don't you recognize it?" Wang Shuanzi said patiently. ask.
Xiao Hei scratched his head, still looking confused: "Dad, I recognize the cabbage on the dinner table. What does it look like growing in the ground... I really don't recognize it!"
Now, no matter how good-tempered Wang Shuanzi was, he couldn't help but want to jump up and crack this kid's head open to see if there were ten kilograms of straw stuffed inside!
"Oh my god, these are enemies. What evil did I commit in my previous life?"
Yang Huamei raised her hand to cover her forehead and sat down on the ground, wanting to cry but without tears.
Wang Shuanzi was also shaking with anger, but he still took a deep breath and pulled Xiao Hei into the kitchen.
Find a withered yellow cabbage leaf among the food chopped for chickens and ducks and teach Xiao Hei to identify it, "The leaves on top are green, and the stem on the bottom is white. You have studied, don't even remember this." !”
Xiao Hei laughed and patted his chest and promised: "Ah, it turns out to be it, I know, I know, go and get it back for dad!"
Seeing his son running out of the yard, Wang Shuanzi sighed in his heart.
He came over and helped Yang Huamei put on her shoes and helped her up.
"Mei'er, don't be upset. At least this kid is quite obedient. Even if he admits it, he admits it and goes to the vegetable garden. It's pretty good."
"Shuanzi, if you have to help him find the good points, I have nothing to say." Yang Huamei said dullly.
Wang Shuanzi smiled bitterly: "What do you say? At this point, we can't compare with anyone who is better or more obedient. We have to compare with whose child is more bastard and worse."
"How do you compare him with that boy from the old Liu family in the village? Old Liu was so angry that she almost threw herself into the river a few days ago. Now you compare him with the old boy from the Song family in the west of the village. That boy from the Song family steals other people's things every day. On top of the widow's wall, the Song family has so many face-saving people, why don't they go and apologize to others like bastards? How can you compare with Dabai..."
"Okay, okay, don't compete anymore. If you keep competing, you will have to give Xiao Hei an extra meal at noon."
Yang Huamei patted the dust on her body and said, "I admit it, who could have given birth to me? You can continue cooking while I clean the house. Alas, life is miserable!"
Xiao Hei didn't pick the cabbage back until Wang Shuanzi cooked breakfast.
"What's wrong with this child? He hasn't come back from a trip to the vegetable garden. I have to look for him."
Wang Shuanzi came over and said something to Yang Huamei, then turned around to look for her.
Yang Huamei said: "Don't go, I'll go back quickly."
Yang Huamei had just walked to the door of the yard and met Xiao Hei Doumian who came in from outside.
The little black basket was filled with a basket full of vegetables, and I was holding one in my hand while walking around.
"I asked you to pick cabbage. Why did you dig so many radishes?"
Xiao Hei's cheeks became deformed after eating, and he handed the vegetable basket to Yang Huamei like a treasure: "Mom, the radish is delicious, juicy, sweet and crisp, try it..."
Yang Huamei didn't answer, "Your father asked you to pick cabbages, why don't you pick cabbages?"
"I'm tired of eating cabbage and want to eat radishes."
"But your father asked you to pick cabbage, and you didn't even listen to your father?"
Xiao Hei lowered his head, but the expression on his face was obviously unconvinced.
Yang Huamei still wants to train her. She is now the most sensitive to the education of her children. She was so pampered and indulgent in the past, but now she is so strict and particular. Perhaps, it can be said that she slapped her in the face with a loud bang!
"Your father asked you to pick cabbages, so you should pick cabbages. If you pick radishes today, then tomorrow your father or your mother will be sick and ask you to help buy medicine. Did you see anything you like on the road? How can something immediately throw our orders aside?"
"You are just disobedient and ignorant. How can I have a son like you?"
Xiao Hei drooped his head and twirled his toes on the ground again.
Yang Huamei was so angry that she kicked him.
Xiao Hei howled in pain, just as Wang Shuanzi came over.
"Let's just say radish, at least we have picked vegetables." Wang Shuanzi smoothed over the situation, came over to take the basket from Xiao Hei's hand, and patted him on the shoulder:
"Go and wash your hands and eat. After dinner, your father and the others will probably be back soon."
"Dad, I don't like that woman coming to our house."
"Why?"
"When she comes, there will only be one more person in our family to eat. Why?"
"What Xiao Hei said makes sense, and I don't like it either." This is the most satisfying sentence Yang Huamei has heard from Xiao Hei so far today.
"This is the arrangement of the adults. Xiao Hei, please don't mess around. Just do your own thing." Wang Shuanzi warned coldly and led everyone to start the meal.
At this moment, every room in Lao Yang's house is busy with New Year celebrations.
Yang Huazhou, Yang Yongjin, Yang Yongzhi and others all brought soaked malt and fried rice to Yang Huazhong's house, and they all got together to boil maltose just like they did when they were grinding tofu.
Once we work together, it becomes easier for everyone.
Secondly, everyone is here to have fun.
Their respective conditions are such that the children in the family all have snacks, and maltose is not a rare thing, but during the annual twelfth lunar month, isn't it just to feel the atmosphere of the New Year by preparing these things together?
Therefore, the backyard of Yang Huazhong's house was very busy, and Mrs. Liu and the others were all there.
The sweet smell wafted continuously from the kitchen. Mrs. Liu was holding a bowl filled with water.
From time to time, she scooped a spoonful of viscous syrup from the bubbling cauldron and poured it into a bowl filled with water. The hot syrup shrank and solidified instantly when it encountered cold water. After a while, a piece of strange-looking maltose took shape.
Mrs. Liu was not particular about it. She dipped her two fingers into the water with the fingers she had just picked her nostrils, and the candy came into her mouth.
It's crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. It's sweet in your mouth and has the fragrance of malt.
Mrs. Liu ate and smacked her lips, then she made a few pieces in the same way and sent them to Mrs. Sun and Bao Suyun, "Come on, come on, eat sweets, eat sweets."
Unless Sun and Bao Suyun like to eat human boogers, they would never accept the maltose offered by Liu.
Although Liu has good intentions...
The two sisters-in-law declined Mrs. Liu's kindness with perfect lies. Mrs. Liu didn't think anything of it. When she heard the noise in the yard outside, she poked her head in with a bowl in hand.
Just then, a few children from Yang Yongjin and his brothers ran over here. When they saw Ms. Liu eating, the children immediately surrounded her and raised their little heads and shouted, "Fourth Grandma".
Among them, the little girl of Yang Yongqing's family has the loudest cry, which is clear and childish, like a little oriole.
