"Old man, you came here to help! Look what the eldest grandson has brought back." The old lady took out the pheasant in the basket and shook it.
"Is my grandson so powerful?" Old Man Li stood up.
"Dad, your grandson is so awesome, look at what this is?" The second aunt took off the towel and saw a 20-pound giant pumpkin in front of her eyes.
"My dear mother! This is the first time in my life that I have seen such a big pumpkin," Old Man Li picked up the pumpkin and bumped it.
Li Laifu threw his ass down, sat on the bench and shouted: "Grandma, make something to eat quickly, I'm starving to death."
"Come here, come here! Grandma will cook pumpkin soup for you."
Li Laifu quickly stopped and said, "Grandma, please stop making pumpkin soup and steam the pumpkin, right?" After two days of drinking, the wild vegetables became mushy, and he wanted to eat them dry.
"Listen to your grandson," Old Man Li said directly. Li Laifu's words about not staying in the courtyard when he came here frightened the old man, and he was very afraid that his grandson wouldn't like coming here.
Grandson wants to eat? How could the old lady refuse? Said: "Xiaojuan, you go and cut a piece of Laifu and steam it. Let's eat it in the evening!" They all have the habit of not eating lunch twice a day. It's not that they are not used to it. The key is that they have nothing to eat. .
Li Laifu was not willing to say this: "Second Aunt, just steam half of it. If you don't eat it, I won't eat it either. I'll call the little tigers and dragons over and roast the birds together."
The second aunt didn't say anything, but looked at the old lady. The old lady sighed and said, "Listen to your grandson. Let's all borrow from my eldest grandson."
"Okay, Mom," the second aunt quickly took the pumpkin and went to the kitchen.
"Laifu, you don't have to move, I just need to call those two brats over," said the second aunt standing at the door of the kitchen when she saw Li Laifu stand up.
The second aunt stood directly on the courtyard wall and shouted loudly: "Xiaohu, Xiaolong, come here!"
The second aunt’s voice is really loud! Li Laifu thought to himself.
In just a minute, two gadgets, Deng Deng, Deng Deng, ran in, "Mom, what did you call us for?"
The second aunt had already entered the kitchen. Li Laifu shook the basket and said, "Of course it's a good thing."
The two boys heard the chirping sound in the basket: "Brother, is this a little bird?" Li Xiaohu said with eyes wide open.
The two big birds were killed by Lin Laifu, but the 30 downy birds were not dead and were chirping.
"Brother, how about roasting a bird for you? Brother, isn't he awesome?" Li Laifu said proudly.
"real?"
"Brother, are you really going to roast the bird for us two?" Li Xiaohu asked unconfidently.
"This is no nonsense. When did brother lie to you?"
"Grandson, can't this bird be roasted? For such a big bird, there will be nothing left after roasting it over fire. You'd better let your grandma cook it for you!" Old Man Li glanced at Li Laifu's basket and said.
"Grandson, go sit and rest, grandma will do it for you."
He was indeed tired. He had been running all morning, but the key was that he had no food in his stomach!
Sitting on the bench and resting, the old lady started plucking the feathers of the birds. The two little brats picked up the birds and threw them to the ground one by one. Li Laifu shook his head and smiled bitterly. In the eyes of children of this era, this is meat that can fill their stomachs. , in the eyes of future generations of children, this is a pet, and the polarization is still very large.
Li Laifu looked at the old lady and put each bird's intestines in a big bowl. The intestines of chickens and big birds could not be thrown away, but the intestines of small birds were only about the size of a finger?
"Grandma, just throw away the bird's intestines. It's so laborious. You have to wash them one by one."
"Nonsense! If you fry this thing for your grandpa, he will be able to eat it off his tongue. He will be so greedy." The old lady patiently took out the food one by one.
"Grandson, your grandma is right. You need to add some chili pepper to stir-fry it. It will be delicious when you drink it."
After the old lady cleaned up the bird, she went to get the pheasant again. The second aunt had already taken the big bird and the little bird to the pot to cook.
"Old man, look, this pheasant is still a hen. Look at the huge piece of chicken fat on its buttocks." The old lady pulled out two more unlaid eggs.
"I was still worried about how to fry chicken intestines for you. I can rest assured with this piece of oil." The old lady happily put a handful of chicken oil in the bowl.
But Li Laifu was so hungry that finally the pumpkin and bird were cooked, and the chicken offal was also fried.
Old Man Li went to the house and brought out a small bowl of wine.
"Grandpa, why do you still have wine?"
Old Man Li carefully put the wine on the table and said: "I have kept these two kilograms of roasted sweet potatoes for almost 7 or 8 years. I drink a little every time I wait for good food."
"When my grandson makes money, I will let you drink good wine every day," Li Laifu promised, patting his chest.
"Okay! Then I'll wait and enjoy the blessing of a grandson.
The old lady shared the pumpkin, one triangular piece for each person, and the second aunt filled another bowl of bird soup.
The two big birds were in Li Laifu's bowl. "Grandma, I can't finish eating and I'll give you one."
"Grandson, you can eat it. There is meat in grandma's bowl."
Seeing the old lady bringing it back to him, he had no choice but to pretend to be a child and act coquettishly: "Grandma, if you don't want to eat, I won't eat either."
The old lady finally didn't come back, but Li Laifu was extremely happy. He couldn't have imagined this kind of family affection last time...? .
There were seven or eight little birds in two and a half large bowls, as well as a large bowl of soup. He ate the pumpkin without stopping, "Brother, the pumpkin is so sweet, and the pumpkin is delicious," Bruce Lee said with his mouth busy. , and didn’t forget to flatter him.
Li Laifu also ate the pumpkin, which was extremely sweet.
"This pumpkin is so sweet, grandson, where did you pick it up?" Old Man Li asked.
"I picked it up in the grass when I was catching pheasants," Li Laifu lied and opened his mouth.
Old Man Li didn't say anything. Although he had lived under the mountain all his life, he had never picked up a pumpkin, but he could only lament that his grandson was lucky.
"Dad, Mom, I'm going to bring some food to Chongwu. They will use their strength to carry water at noon," the second aunt said.
Old Man Li waved his hand and said: "Go, go! Come back for dinner soon. This meal is better than the one we eat during the Chinese New Year."
The second aunt wrapped a piece of pumpkin in a towel and walked toward the door with two little birds.
As soon as the second aunt arrived at the bottom of the mountain, she saw a row of male laborers in the village carrying water and irrigating the ground.
Standing at the end of the field, he shouted to his man, "Why are you here? Didn't you go dig wild vegetables with my mother?" Li Chongwu ran over and asked.
"I'll feed the dog!" the second aunt joked and handed over the towel.
It had been a long time since Li Chongwen had seen his mother-in-law happy. He opened the towel and looked at it with big eyes, and then looked around again.
Asked in a low voice: "Where does this come from?"
The second aunt smiled and told Li Laifu about going up the mountain today and catching a lot of birds. She also said that his mother was cooking chicken offal and his father was already drunk.
"This kid is really a blessing. I'm going to be very happy when he comes." Li Chongwu took both birds into his mouth at one go. He didn't even spit out the bones. He just chewed them down and swallowed them. He also took two bites of the pumpkin. Finished eating.
Stretching your neck to swallow the pumpkin, something suddenly occurred to you? Li Chongwu asked: "Did you just say that my father drank?"
The second aunt nodded: "Yes!"
"You stupid woman, why did you bring something here? Just tell me to go back and it's over. You have to go slower, my dad will finish the drink."
