Old woman Su squatted down holding Tian Bao. The joints of her hands were thick and deformed after years of hard work, and she looked cautious when stroking the green leaves of rapeseed.
"This is a vegetable grown by our family. Pick the mature ones first and dry them. You can eat them for two months without any problem. The remaining vegetables are left as vegetable seeds. We can plant two more crops before the end of the year." She smiled. Lifting his eyes, under the blazing summer light, the weathered face was filled with a sense of comfort.
Su Da and Su Er even laughed so hard that their eyes became slits, "This is the first step for our family to successfully take root in Tubeishan. Can we barely be considered self-sufficient in providing food?"
Liu Yuelan and He Daxiang smiled beside them, "When the vegetables didn't grow well, we were always worried, fearing that the people at Pier 12 would look at the vegetables when they were ripe and then come and smash them. Fortunately, we came here safely. ”
Su Xiuer said happily, "After this time, they really won't come to trouble us again. Listen to the laughter in other vegetable fields around us."
The Su family laughed.
There was no need to listen carefully, the cheers from the side had already been heard.
It is now the end of June, and the vegetables in the surrounding fields have also entered the maturity stage and are ready to be picked for potting.
This joy gained through hard work and oppression is stronger and more exciting than ever.
Not long after coming out of the vegetable garden, there were knocks on the door of Su's courtyard.
Wave after wave were filled with people from nearby.
Here to deliver food.
"It's from the Su family. The peppers in my field are ripe. I picked them and brought them to you. I separated out a small bag of ripe ones and dried them in the sun to make seeds!"
"These are chicken greens. I brought them back from the mountains. They are all alive and well! Hahaha! It will take some time to wait for the yam eggs. I will bring them to you then!"
"This is my tomato..."
"My loofah!"
"Yesterday I found a nest of bird eggs in the mountains and brought them back secretly. You guys hid them and ate them! Hush!"
In just a moment, there were many more dishes in the Su family courtyard.
The family couldn't laugh or cry about this, and they also felt deeply.
Old man Su waved his hand and said, "Take it. It's all hard work. Let's save more vegetable seeds in the field and give them a share as a gift in return."
The three boys had their eyes fixed on the three eggs early in the morning. They were chattering and asked eagerly, "Grandma and grandma, will you boil the eggs tonight?"
Old woman Su laughed and patted the children one by one on their little heads, "Cook! The weather is hot, and the eggs cannot be eaten if they are left unopened."
"Oh! There's a bird—and it's delicious!"
The adults laughed again, "Ghost spirits, you still know how to keep your mouth shut."
Dinner this day was particularly lively.
Two vegetables were placed in the Su family's cooking pot. Su Xiu'er also specially broke up three bird eggs and steamed them into a bowl of custard, which was shared between the three children and Xiao Tianbao. Otherwise, the three eggs would not be enough for one person.
Tianbao is a little curious about custard.
This was the first time in her life that she had eaten something like this.
In a wooden bowl as big as a palm, three bird eggs steamed out half a bowl of custard. It was light yellow in color and so tender that it looked like it would break into pieces at a glance. It was sprinkled with some chopped green onions given by others. After it was embellished with green, it looked more attractive and the fragrance was also good. More intense and rich.
"Look at these eyes, you can't even blink." The old woman's laughing voice sounded above Tian Bao's head, and she pinched her little nose lovingly with her big hands, "Our Tian Bao has never eaten egg custard, are you greedy for it? Grandma feeds you, this is good food, you will grow taller if you eat it often, and you will be nourished."
The three children, Su An, Su Wen, Su Wu, squatted at the old woman's feet, smelling the alluring aroma wafting from the bowl, their mouths watering, but no one asked to eat first.
"Give it to my sister first! I'm not greedy, I ate it when I was a kid!" Su An swallowed quietly and tried to move her eyes away from the custard bowl.
Su Wensu Wu also pretended not to care at all and patted his chest, "I ate it when I was a child! I already know what custard tastes like! Let my sister taste it this time!"
"It's really delicious! Eat more, Tianbao!"
Mrs. Su suppressed her laughter and deliberately scooped out a large spoonful of custard with a spoon in front of the three children's helpless eyes. Then, in front of their widened eyes, she divided the custard into another bowl. She didn't stop until half the bowl was taken out. " I know that you are all sensible and well-behaved. Grandma loves my sister and she loves you too. Three little people, come and eat. My sister will eat more this time and grow taller. She will be with you in two months. Let’s play.”
"Okay!" The three children cheered, and the indifference they had just pretended disappeared in an instant. They picked up their spoons and ate deliciously in one bite.
The others were holding back their laughter, but my mother was serious about her bias.
"Tianbao, ah, open your mouth and have a taste. It's delicious."
Putting the spoon to his mouth, Tianbao looked away from his brothers with a slightly disgusted look. He opened his small mouth and bit into the whole mouthful of egg custard, trying not to let the residue stick to his mouth.
Now that she's clean, she won't be as dirty as her brothers who eat custard and grow a beard.
After the custard entered his mouth, the little baby's eyes widened.
ah.
tasty.
Smooth and tender.
Even better than gravy.
Looking at her little granddaughter's expression, Mrs. Su knew that she loved to eat, and her eyes filled with smiles, and she fed her even more enthusiastically.
At the same time, my heart also overflowed with sadness.
After their sweet baby was born, the whole family took advantage of her, and they couldn't even give her something good to eat.
If someone hadn't given him a bird egg this time, he didn't know when he would be able to taste the custard.
"Boss, pick out two pieces of dried meat later. I'll take them to Mrs. Huo's house. If possible, ask her to help change some eggs back." Old woman Su hesitated for a moment and said, "Tianbao is getting bigger every day. , and she doesn’t eat stewed meat, so how can she grow taller? It’s rare that she likes to eat egg custard, so I have to find some way to get some back.”
Su Da immediately responded, "Hey!"
Duandao was sure to arrive at dinner time. He was sitting at the dining table, silently cooking. Hearing this, he suddenly said, "There are eggs in the city. Give me the dried meat and I'll change it."
The Su family was startled when they heard this. In the past, Duandao would only eat when he had a meal and rarely spoke. This time, he actually opened his mouth to help, which surprised the whole family.
Su Da nodded excitedly, "I'm going to take out the dried meat now and pick the best one!"
After saying that, he did not shy away from pulling out several pieces of rabbit meat jerky and chicken jerky from the bag in the corner of the kitchen. They were all of good quality and generous portions.
Broken Blade didn't show the slightest reaction to this, nor did he ask any more questions.
He didn't care at all where the Su family's endless dried meats came from.
He ate very quickly. When he was full, he picked up the dried meat that Su Da took out and left.
After the Su family had finished eating and washing the dishes, he appeared again in the Su family's courtyard.
It was the same old cloth bag that I carried out. It was half full when I left, but full when I returned.
After placing the bag on the ground, the man disappeared again without saying a word.
"Do all masters come and go like the wind like this?" Su Er looked at the direction in which the man disappeared, twitching the corners of his mouth and murmuring.
Su Da slapped him, "We can understand the masters? Look what's in the bag!"
As soon as the words came out, the whole family was excited.
The bag was opened, and there was a dazzling array of things inside.
On top is a small basket of eggs, estimated to be more than twenty, none of which was broken.
Under the basket is a bag of white rice, a bag of fine noodles, a set of porcelain bowls, and a bundle of blue cotton cloth!
Su family, "..."
Lord Broken Blade actually went out to commit robbery, right?
