When they arrived at the courtyard gate, no one came out to greet them. Ma Teng was actually a little uncomfortable with it.
Ma Teng came back a little late today, and there was a little fragrance wafting from every house in the yard.
When I arrived at the door of the yard, I knocked on the door. Before I knocked for the third time, the door opened.
"Brother, you're back." Yuyu opened the door and gave Ma Teng a bright smile.
"What are you making that tastes so delicious?"
"Steamed pork ribs, lion's head, fried bacon and cabbage, and bone soup, three vegetables and one soup, and I also steamed the rice." Yu Yu came to Ma Teng, looking like he was about to praise me.
Ma Teng lived up to Yu Yu's expectations. He touched her little head and gave her a very positive response, which was great.
Back inside, the fireplace kept the whole house very warm.
Very good.
I poured some warm water into the washbasin and washed my hands and face.
Seeing that the rain was still outside in the kitchen, I walked over.
"Ok?"
"Okay, brother, please go sit in the room for a while, there are still a few minutes.
Brother, where did the chicken in the chicken coop go? Yuyu looked at Ma Teng and said.
"Let the weasels come in and bite them all to death, and I threw away all the dead chickens.
Call me when the food is ready and we will serve it together. " Ma Teng rubbed Yu Yu's little head and turned back to the house.
"Ah, weasel? It's such a pity that there are so many chickens." Yu Yu looked at the chicken pen with a distressed look on his face.
Bang bang bang... bang bang...
"Rain, rain, go home and eat."
While Yu Yu was staring at the chicken coop in a daze, the courtyard door was knocked, and the sound belonged to Silly Zhu.
Rainwater looked at the pot and thought it was okay not to care about it, so he ran over.
"Brother Sha, I'm having dinner at Brother Ma Teng's house. You can go back." Yu Yu opened the door and looked at Sha Zhu outside the door and said.
"What are you talking about? I bought groceries today and I prepared them. I went to call you. You are not at home. I guess you are here. Come with me. The whole family is waiting for you." Silly Zhu said and wanted to hold Yuyu's hand.
Yu Yu directly avoided it. "I won't go. I don't want to eat with them. Brother Ma Teng's food has been prepared, so I won't compete with them." Yu Yu said and was about to close the door.
Silly Zhu didn't want to. The first uncle said that today is New Year's Day and the family will have dinner together. Yu Yu said that he can't eat anything at Ma Teng's house today.
"Come back with me. What's the holiday today? It's New Year's Day. I bought half a catty of meat."
"Who is there?" Yuyu dodged Silly Zhu's big hand again.
"Who can it be? Old lady, the first two men, Sister Qin's family, so many people are waiting for you. Be sensible. Today is New Year's Day, and the family wants to be together." Silly Zhu was a little angry.
"Family? Are you sure you are a family with them? Brother Sha, I am not. Brother Ma Teng and I are a family. You can eat with them." Rain is about to close the door. How can Sha Zhu make Rain go as he wishes? The door was open, but Rain was not as strong as Silly Zhu. The door was opened a crack but could not be closed.
The heavy rain almost made my eyes foggy.
"What's wrong with Yuyu? Who is outside the door?" Ma Teng heard Yuyu talking to someone at the door and went out to take a look.
"No one, it's my stupid brother who wants me to go back to the uncle's house for dinner." Yu Yu's little face turned around and said a little aggrieved.
"Oh, okay, just go."
"But……"
"Haha... But what, it's nothing. When you go, bring your food with you. If you don't eat, I won't be able to finish it." Ma Teng blinked at the rain.
Yu Yu was stunned for a moment, and then he understood instantly and let go of the door, no longer holding it against it.
"Ma Teng, let Yu Yu and I go back to eat. Don't look for trouble." Silly Zhu opened the door and looked at Ma Teng and said.
"Haha, Shabi.
When the rain comes, the food should be ready. "
"Okay." Yu Yu followed Ma Teng and walked to the kitchen.
Take out a large bowl from the small cabinet on the side and clean it.
He opened the lid of the pot and when neither his hands nor the bowl in the pot reacted, he directly held the hot bowl with his hands and placed it on the chopping board.
"Ma Teng, what are you busy with? The rain has gone and we have food to eat."
"Haha, what kind of food? This is made from rainwater. She has a share. If she doesn't eat it, am I left? If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute." Ma Teng continued to tinker with his own.
Divide the rice into a bowl and tamp down one side with a spoon.
On the other side, bacon and cabbage are placed underneath, but it's mostly bacon, with a thick layer of steamed pork ribs and three large lion heads on top.
A big bowl full of rice and vegetables.
Yu Yu happily picked up a pair of chopsticks and picked up the bowl, "Brother, don't be busy, I'll drink the bone soup when I get back later.
Silly brother, let’s go. "
Silly Zhu looked at the large bowl of delicious food held by Yu Yu and swallowed. Even if he is a cook, although he is not short of mouth, which cook is not greedy.
Seeing that Silly Zhu didn't respond, Yu Yu snorted, winked at Ma Teng while holding the bowl, and turned around to leave.
Show off, this is showing off, showing off properly.
There is a big table with 5 dishes, only the middle one is braised pork, and the other braised pork is mostly potatoes.
Ever since Jia Zhang's visit last time, Yi Zhonghai almost asked Jia Dongxu to send her away, but this time he only let her come after he cursed and swore in front of Jia Dongxu.
Not bad, Silly Zhu went to Ma Teng’s house to ask for rainwater, Jia Zhang looked at the dishes with his head down and still swallowed his saliva.
But what I didn't expect was that when the rain came, I was holding a bowl of rice and meat. This dish that took a little thought suddenly lost its flavor.
"Mom, Mom, I also want to eat white rice. Grandma, grandma, I want to eat white rice. You ask Yu Yu to give me the loser, and I also want to eat big meatballs." BangGeng saw Yu Yu eating this big bowl Yes, how could I bear it.
Pulling Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang to the side, they started to quarrel.
Jia Dongxu slapped Banggeng on the head through Qin Huairu, and what he got back was Banggeng crying.
When he wanted to slap him, Yi Zhonghai stopped him.
Turning his head, he said to Yuyu with a smile, "Yuyu, isn't it just a bowl of rice? Look at the dishes on this table. Listen to me, why don't you give Banggeng the rice? See how he cries. What's going on? You're older than him, let him do it, I'll call you aunt."
Yu Yu hugged the bowl and sat a little further to the side. The bowl was not placed on the table at all, and he did not answer.
Yi Zhonghai's expression changed. "Zhu Zhu, look..." Yi Zhonghai couldn't compete with the little girl, he could only let Silly Zhu take action.
"Yu Yu, don't make trouble. Bang Gang is still young. Otherwise, give some to Bang Gang. The food on this table is not enough for you." Silly Zhu said to Yu Yu obediently.
"This is my meal, that is your meal, we each eat our own." Yu Yu picked up a piece of spareribs and put it into his mouth. He felt that it was a little sweet. There should be a little less salt, but he didn't know. Did Brother Teng eat it?
Everyone looked at Yu Yu and looked at Silly Zhu, meaning, she is your sister, come on.
Especially the old lady, she just saw what was in the rain bowl. She likes to eat lion heads. The ones over there look like steamed ribs. When the rain spit out a piece of bone, the old lady confirmed it again.
It's all her favorite food. Can't this damn girl give it to me, the old lady? It’s a big holiday, am I a vegetarian? There are so many people, a table of vegetarian dishes, and the look in my eyes from the old lady, how many pieces of meat do you think I can hold in my hands, Yi Zhonghai? Really unworthy of a son of man.
He angrily hit the ground with his crutches.
Not to mention the old lady, not even Yi Zhonghai or Jia Zhang wanted to eat.
Jia Zhang, who was drooling just now looking at the braised pork, was already looking at the big bowl of rain and swallowing hard.
If it hadn't been for a trace of reason to remind her that she had sworn to Jia Dongxu at home, she would have gotten up and rushed towards the rain at this time.
Yi Zhonghai couldn't let the atmosphere continue to spread. He coughed twice and said with a gloomy face, "Now that the rain has arrived and we are all here, let's eat." He used chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat for the old lady.
However, the piece of meat that Silly Zhu bought seemed to offend the meat seller. There was only a shallow layer of fat and the rest was lean meat.
Seeing that after Yi Zhonghai took action, everyone else swallowed their saliva and quickly picked up the meat they had spotted.
Those with bad eyesight really can’t do it.
Who is the fastest here, of course, is Jia Zhang. Even though he is fat, he is the fastest in the whole place. His chopsticks almost left an afterimage.
For a group of people, each person only ate two chopsticks of meat. When he took off his chopsticks, there was no more meat.
Qin Huairu gave one piece to Banggeng and the other to Xiaodang. When she was born, she found that the eldest father had a gloomy face, the old lady also frowned, and even the eldest mother looked at Jia and Zhang in a bad mood. .
However, this did not affect Yu Yu, who ate happily and watched a good show by the way.
This has been the case in previous years. The rain has hurt me not once or twice, but countless times.
I come here several times every year, once on New Year's Day, once on Mid-Autumn Festival, once on Chinese New Year, and sometimes again on Lantern Festival.
I'm used to the rain, but this year, eating meat outside the dining table and watching the scene was so exciting.
Even though the rain was light, there was a lot of resentment in my heart, all because of them.
"I've finished eating." Yu Yu said, stood up and left. Although there was still more than half of the bowl, and there was no meat on the table, they would definitely think about the meat in their bowls, so they would hide first as a respect. .
"Yu Yu..." As soon as Yi Zhonghai opened his mouth, Yu Yu had already rushed out of the house holding the bowl.
"Mom, I want to eat ribs." Banggeng said pitifully.
"Mom, I want to eat too." Xiaodang also said in a waxy tone.
"What are you eating? There's a table of food. It's not enough for you. If you're noisy, go home." Jia Dongxu took a sip of wine and said.
After finishing speaking with a gloomy face, he started eating with shredded radish, cabbage, and potatoes.
The others also slowly started eating without making a sound.
As for what Jia Dongxu was thinking, only he knew.
