In the last half of the sentence, Shen Guofu's voice became hoarse. Shen Chenming could tell that it must have been the last time he received the news that he was seriously injured. His father was frightened and has not recovered yet.
Dad was right, he was the breadwinner of the family.
Grandpa is getting old, and dad has passed his destiny. He should retire in a few years. If something happens to him, the family will undoubtedly collapse.
Especially grandpa, he was the one who forced him to join the army, but his father always objected. Grandpa ignored his objections and just threw him away.
If there really was something wrong, grandpa must have felt very guilty and felt sorry for his father.
"Teacher Qin! I bought the pig head you asked for. My mother asked me to deliver it."
Liu Shuying's sixteen-year-old son came in with a large bag of things, and Li Yuan hurried to pick it up.
Qin Shuangshuang put down the bowl and chopsticks and walked over: "Thank you for bringing it to the teacher."
You Yun'e went into the house and took two big apples and gave them to Liu Shuying's son: "Thank you so much! You didn't have breakfast! Eat an apple to cushion your meal."
Seeing that the boy was about to refuse, Shen Chenming ordered him: "Take it, it's what the elders gave you, don't give it back."
The young man was stunned for a moment, but still didn't answer.
Qin Shuangshuang took it and stuffed it into him: "Your uncle is right, take it and go back to eat with your brothers and sisters."
"Thank you! I'm leaving now. I have to go back to the store to help."
After saying that, he ran away like a gust of wind.
You Yun'e glanced at it, then looked back at Qin Shuangshuang's belly, and then laughed: "Not long after, there will be two babies in our house who are whistling like the wind. Hahaha! I feel happy just thinking about it. .”
After squeezing his son's legs, Shen Guofu stood up and said, "Hurry up and have breakfast and tidy up the pig's head when you're done. If the baby can run as fast as the wind, we still have to wait a few years."
"Who said that? He will run when he leaves. He will definitely run very fast."
Qin Shuangshuang's belly moved several times, and the child seemed to understand and became excited.
She raised her hand and touched it, then lowered her head and smiled softly.
The sun hit her face with a golden halo. Shen Chenming was stunned. His girl was beautiful, gentle, and glowing with motherly love.
He supported the stool with his hands and stood up slowly, just like a child practicing walking, holding on to the stool and walking slowly step by step.
Qin Shuangshuang was afraid that he would fall, so she followed him. You Yun'e looked on and felt that her son and daughter-in-law had such a good relationship.
The daughter-in-law is beautiful, the son is handsome, and the child in the belly will definitely look good no matter whose genes he inherits.
She was happy when she thought that in the near future, she would be able to lead a pair of beautiful and lovely grandchildren or granddaughters in front of her relatives and friends, making them all envious to death.
Li Yuan took out a large wooden basin, took out two pig heads from the nylon bag, put them in it, and fetched water to wash them.
There is hair on the pig's face, so it must be shaved carefully, otherwise it will poke its mouth when eating.
You Yun'e wanted to help, but she didn't stop her. There were too many things for her to handle alone.
"In-laws! You wash the pig's head. I'll wash the two large intestines first and then help you."
"Okay, okay!"
You Yun'e had no objection, dragged the pony over and sat down, using a kitchen knife to shave the hair off the pig's head.
Qin Shuangshuang was afraid that her mother wouldn't know how to clean the pig intestines, so she hurried over to teach her: "Mom! Put the pig intestines in the basin, don't put water, sprinkle with salt and flour first, and rub it vigorously.
Wait until the mucus comes out and then rinse it with water. There are so many things today that the small pot can't cook them, so we have to burn a wood stove. "
Li Yuan nodded in agreement: "Okay, we'll light the wood stove after the things are cleaned."
Shen Guofu watched his son exercise. Qin Shuangshuang took a pig's head and placed it on a high stool. She sat on a low stool to remove the hair.
She didn't use a knife to remove the hair, but used an iron rod to burn red in a coal stove, and then took it out to scald the pig hair. A lot of hair was quickly scalded off.
"There's still a way to do it. It's faster to perm it that way. I don't shave it anymore. It can't be shaved off at all. I also perm it with an iron."
You Yun'e felt that her daughter-in-law was clever and thought of using red iron to remove hair.
"Shuangshuang! You go and rest, Mom will do it."
Taking the Luotie from Qin Shuang's hands and driving her away, You Yun'e sat down and ironed the pig hair by herself.
Li Yuan washed the pig intestines according to her daughter's instructions and put them in a clean basin. Qin Shuangshuang asked her to burn the wood stove.
Heat the pot until red, without adding oil, just pour the pig intestines in and stir-fry. Wait until the water has dried up, then pick it up and wash it again. This way, the washed pig intestines will have no odor at all.
Blanch the pig's head, throw it into a pot, add ginger, cooking wine, and scallions to remove the blood, then take it out and wash it.
After washing, use a knife to cut off the pig head meat completely and cut it into small pieces for later use. The pig skull will be put into the pressure cooker to make soup.
Li Yuan followed Qin Shuangshuang's instructions in an orderly manner and heated the pot again. Qin Shuangshuang began to throw ginger slices into it and stir-fry the pork head meat.
You Yun'e watched the whole process. She also wanted to learn it. When she got back, she would make it once and give it to her husband.
The pig intestines are cut into sections, stir-fried along with the pig head meat, colored, cooking wine and rock sugar are added, and then water is added to cover the ingredients.
Take out the star anise, cinnamon, Sichuan peppercorns, licorice, and dried chili peppers you bought, wrap them in a piece of gauze, make a medicine bag and throw them in.
When the water boils, turn to low heat and simmer slowly.
This process is very long. I can’t make it in time to eat at noon, but I can definitely eat it in the evening.
"Oh! This thing is very laborious to make and requires a lot of things. No wonder it's delicious. I learned it. I'll make a pot of it when I get back. Your grandpa will definitely like it."
It was the first time for Li Yuan to see her daughter cooking like this. Although she felt strange, she didn't ask.
"Does grandpa like to drink? This dish is very suitable for drinking."
"Really?" You Yun'e's eyes lit up, "Your grandpa loves to drink. If he could really make a delicious dish to go with wine, he would be so happy."
Shen Guofu, who was accompanying his son outside, smiled: "Are Shuangshuang cooking something to go with wine? Then I will be in good hands."
Shen Chenming raised his eyes and looked at the kitchen: "You know how to cook now? The braised pork she makes is very delicious. The master chefs in our cafeteria have come to ask for advice."
"That's good. When you go back to Kyoto in the future, let her go to the kitchen from time to time, and we, the grandparents, will have a sip. Then there are two little babies around you, calling grandpa and grandma in a sweet voice, too. Grandpa, those days are so beautiful.”
Shen Chenming was stunned for a moment by his father's words, and then he laughed. The picture he said appeared in his mind. It was really beautiful.
Turning around to look at the girls busy in and out of the kitchen, I felt more energetic under my feet. I tried to let go of the stool and walked towards the kitchen step by step.
He wanted to go to the girl as soon as possible, return to his previous state as soon as possible, and take good care of her and the child in his belly.
Shen Guofu followed his son and looked at him in surprise: "Chen Ming! You can leave so soon? Not bad, good, come on!"
