"Let's go, let's go! Brother will prepare delicious food for you when you go home. If you don't drink fish soup here, you will be full," Li Laifu said. If you don't do it, the old man may come down from the mountain in a while.
"Brother..."
Before the two of them could speak, Li Laifu said, "Leave quickly."
The two boys looked back at the fish soup three times a step.
Li Chongwu was much smarter. He knew that his nephew still had two fishes and pheasants at noon. If he could call his son away, he would definitely make delicious food in the evening, and he would not be full from drinking water here.
"Lao Liu, you go ahead and eat. We still have two fish at home. I'll go to the old man's place to eat them," Li Chongwu said to Li Lao Liu.
"Whoever drank more today will help my second uncle carry an extra load of water tomorrow!" Li Laoliu explained.
"Grandson, you really caught a fish. The old man saw you entering the hospital," Li Laifu asked.
"Grandpa, my eldest brother caught a very big fish," Xiaohu opened his hand and gestured to Mr. Li.
"You've been lying all day long, I asked your father to beat you up, and such a big fish carried you away," Old Man Li obviously didn't believe it.
"Grandpa, the younger brother didn't lie. The eldest brother really caught a big fish, but... the fish was at the village branch, and Brother Six took it to cook for everyone to eat."
Looking at the serious expressions of the two little kids, the old man couldn't help but not believe it and asked: "Grandson, did you really catch it?"
Li Laifu had already steamed the pumpkin in the pot, and put half of a small bowl of oil on the side of the pot.
Li Laifu stood at the door of the kitchen and said, "Grandpa, I just caught it, but I didn't catch it. Second uncle, Tie Zhu and several others went down and caught it."
"You actually had dinner at the village headquarters, why did you come back?" Mr. Li asked in confusion.
"Grandpa, I haven't eaten dry food for a long time. I'll make some big pancakes myself. Let's just eat these two fishes.
Li Laifu quickly killed the two fish and chopped up the chicken.
Old Man Li opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. If he usually went to the village headquarters for dinner, who would still waste food at home? But what about the eldest grandson’s attitude? Because he didn't want to eat, he stopped talking.
After the pumpkin was steamed, more than ten kilograms of pumpkin were crushed, and there was also a large pot, and two handfuls of sorghum noodles were grabbed.
Pour half a small bowl of oil into the pot, put the fish and chicken into the pot, add water, and paste the pumpkin on the edge of the pot.
Li Chongwu also ran back, sitting at the door smoking a cigarette, but looking at the kitchen.
"Chongwu, everyone is drinking fish soup at the village headquarters. Why are you three sitting here?" The second aunt called outside the door.
"Mom, the eldest brother is making delicious food. The eldest brother said that the fish soup he makes is better than the fish soup in the village," Xiaohu answered honestly.
"You bitches are not as smart as my son," Li Chongwu said with a smile.
"You are so smart, but you are so thick-skinned," Mr. Li said while lying on the chair.
"You are not thin-skinned. You two grown men want my eldest grandson to cook?" The old lady quit.
"Old woman, don't talk nonsense. I didn't ask my grandson to do it. He insisted on making it himself. It must be that you didn't make it delicious."
"What I cooked wasn't delicious, so why didn't I eat you to death?" The old lady scolded Mr. Li and walked quickly towards the kitchen.
"Hey, grandson, please let grandma do it!"
"Grandma, wash your hands and get ready to eat. I've done everything."
The old lady smelled the aroma that filled the kitchen, looked at the fish soup and chicken soup in the pot, and the golden pancakes steaming on the edge of the pot. The corners of her mouth twitched and she thought: This grandson is a bit of a prodigal?
Li Laifu stuck more than 20 large cakes on the side of the pot. Fortunately, the big pots in this era were very big, otherwise it would be impossible to stick them on. He took a wooden shovel, shoveled the cakes off, put them in a basin, and took a spoon. Pour the soup from the pot into a large basin.
"Mom, Laifu's cooking tastes so delicious! Whoever wants to marry our Laifu family from now on will be lucky?" said the second aunt, leaning on the kitchen door with her head stretched out.
The old lady straightened her back and said, "That's right, even if my eldest grandson doesn't know how to cook, just because he looks so handsome, it won't be difficult to find a wife in the future."
"Grandson, please take a rest. Stop looking at the door and come over quickly to help serve the food," the old lady ordered to the second aunt.
Xiaolong and Xiaohu still held the big bowl in their hands, and their mouths watered from the smell.
The family gathered together, holding fragrant pancakes in their hands. Old Man Li sighed and said, "I haven't eaten pancakes in almost two years."
Li Laifu asked casually: "Grandpa, don't you eat steamed buns?"
Li Chongwu took a bite of the pancake and said, "Who did you listen to? We eat steamed buns in rural areas?"
The second aunt took a bite of the pancake and said, "Only fools eat cornmeal. If there is cornmeal in a cornmeal, I can boil a pot of cornmeal with some water. It's better than drinking plain water."
Li Laifu also thought about it. With the wisdom of ordinary people, how could they be so stupid as to eat cornbread, starve to death in the end, and be deceived by previous TV series.
"Brother, did you put sugar in this pancake? It's so sweet," Xiaohu said after finishing one pancake and still licking the crumbs in his hand.
Li Laifu had no words to talk to them. He drank soup and ate dry pancakes, especially the pancakes, which had a special texture after being burned in a pot.
"Xiaohu, Xiaolong, you two can only eat one pancake, drink some soup, and eat some meat. You can't eat enough pancakes!" the second aunt explained.
"Second Aunt, just let them eat. These two children are also lacking in nutrients."
"Who can live without lack of nutrition these days? Leave Laifu alone," Li Chongwu said. "
Only Li Laifu drank a large bowl of chicken soup and ate four pancakes, while the rest of the group each ate one pancake and drank a bowl of soup.
In his memory, he hadn't eaten so much in at least a year or two.
"Grandson, eat less, don't burst your belly button," Old Man Li said worriedly.
"I know, Grandpa."
In the end, there was half a basin of soup left and about ten pancakes left. Li Laifu didn't chat in the courtyard. He washed his feet by the water tank and went directly to the kang. He quickly cut the remaining pumpkin and cut it into pieces. The seeds were planted in the ground, and three more pumpkins were ripened. More than 100 pumpkin seeds were also planted in the ground, and they fell asleep.
When he woke up in the morning, it might have been seven or eight o'clock. He didn't even have a watch now, and he had no idea of time.
"Grandson, your grandma has boiled the eggs and put them in a big bowl. You can have these eggs for breakfast!" Old Man Li said as he looked at Li Laifu who came out.
Li Laifu looked at the peeled eggs in the big bowl, and his heart was full of family affection. These grandparents really had nothing to say to him.
He was 15 years old and no longer pretended to be an adult. He took a bird egg and stuffed it directly into the old man's mouth: "Grandpa, you can eat it too."
"Brother, you're awake," Xiaolong and Xiaohu took the opportunity to run in, "I guess these two boys have been waiting at the door.
He was not stingy, and was going to give them a few eggs each. The two little boys put their hands behind their backs and said, "Grandma gave each of us two eggs this morning. We won't eat them. Brother, you can eat them!"
Since the eldest brother came, they have eaten well enough in the past two days. Their parents said yesterday that they were not allowed to argue with the eldest brother about food.
