Chapter 638 Black History
Le classmate had been busy all night after waking up at midnight. Breakfast was naturally not monotonous. There were freshly made dumplings and steamed buns, as well as nutritious chicken soup that had been cooked for four hours, and a sour bean. Stir-fried shredded pork, a blanched baby greens, a steamed sea cucumber, and a basket of freshly boiled local eggs.
Mrs. Chao, Mrs. Wang and Professor Wanqi were particularly puzzled. When Xiao Lele made so many breakfasts, what time did she get up to work?
They really didn't think about how good they should eat in the morning. For breakfast, just some porridge or something would be enough, otherwise they would just eat leftovers or leftovers. Who would have thought that Xiao Lele would make several kinds of breakfast in the morning.
The Le family is hosting a banquet tomorrow. They have a lot to do that day, so they don’t waste time and finish the meal quickly while the handsome guys clear away the dishes.
Le's father went to feed the pigs, chickens and ducks, while Le Yun prepared bath water for his brother to take a bath.
Babies all love to play in the water, and so does little Leshan. He loved being in the water and started crying when he was brought out. But he only cried a few times and was kissed by his sister with a smile on his face. Tears turn into laughter.
After helping her brother get dressed, Le Yun held her brother and played with him, teaching him the pinyin alphabet, reading famous lines from Tang poems that are easy for children to learn, and playing with a clock in her arms. After her brother fell asleep beautifully, she put him on the bed to sleep.
When she went upstairs to dry some medicine and was about to teach the handsome guys how to grind tofu, Zhang Poluo and Sister-in-law Zhao came to Lejia to help with four chickens.
"Yueqing, there's no need to return the gift. It's too troublesome to bring it back. We'll just give it to Zhou Qiufeng." Zhang Poluo handed the local chicken to Yueqing.
When going to the countryside to drink three-day wine for children, they usually give chickens, pig's feet, and eggs to the mother. After receiving the gift, the host will have to take one part back. The ratio of taking back to giving back is 3:1 or 2:1, that is, three parts of the return. One share, or half in return.
"This, there are too many." Dad Le felt quite embarrassed after taking the four native chickens. Even if most people in rural areas raise native chickens, it would be very generous to give two as a gift. Zhang Poluo's family only gave four as a gift. It was too So generous.
"There's so much nonsense, just accept it." Zhang Poluo didn't like his mother-in-law, so he went directly into the Le family's main room. As soon as he stepped through the door, he saw little Lele running from the back of the house to greet him with a smile. The sound of "Uncle Zhang" made him elated, and he nodded: "Xiao Lele, do you want to braise chicken feet today?" "
Yes, braise chicken feet and braise pork. The brine has been cooked on the fire. It's my exclusive Let’s ask Uncle Zhang to try the recipe when the braised vegetables come out and see if it tastes good.”
Le Yun ran to the main room to face Zhang Poluo and discussed in a sly manner: “Uncle Zhang, you guys will go to Uncle De’s house later to help kill him. When you are a pig, can you help me catch as much pig blood as possible? I will make delicious pig blood soup dumplings tomorrow morning." "Okay, okay, I will have a
share."
"Of course, Uncle Zhang, Aunt Zhao, Uncle De, they all have a share. , I'll make a potion first, and then Uncle Zhang will help me mix it with pig blood."
"Go ahead, go ahead." Zhang Poluo looked at Xiao Lele's weird elf and became more and more happy, and asked her to hurry up, and he and My wife sat and waited for Liu Lu.
Le Yun happily went into the refrigerator room to pick up a small bucket, filled it with water, put the medicine she had prepared earlier into it and mixed it well, and also made a bucket of potion mixed with chicken blood and duck blood.
Not long after, Liu Lu and his wife also came, also bringing four native chickens, no need to return gifts.
Le Yun washed her hands and went to get the iced mung bean soup in the early morning for the four of them to drink.
Zhang Poluo, Liu Lu and the others drank a bowl of health-preserving soup and felt very comfortable. They carried two small buckets containing specially formulated potions to Cheng Youde's house.
When Chen Dalian and his wife arrived at Lejia, they saw a few handsome guys outside the house. He smiled naively. He Xiaoba recognized the person and shouted into the house: "Little beauty, Gao Gao who gave us fish and shrimp yesterday." The neighbor is here."
Liu Shao, Luo Shao and others kept asking the villagers to sit in the Le family's house, and Chen entered the Le family's main room with a naive smile.
Le Yun walked from the back of the house to the main room. When she saw the guest entering the house, she really didn't have much impression. The visitor was a little thin, but very energetic. The left face was obviously slightly larger than the right face. He was holding four native chickens on the back of his hand. There is really a small black ringworm on the fetus.
He was bringing his woman with him. She was a slightly fat woman with short hair and not too tall. She was about 1.57 meters tall. She was wearing three-quarter casual pants and a casual T-shirt.
Chen Dalian’s wife’s surname is He. Sister-in-law He is from Shancheng in the neighboring province C. Girls in province C are known as spicy girls and have distinctive personalities. Even though Sister-in-law He and the man returned to the man’s hometown to settle down for a short time, she has a straightforward personality and can enjoy herself in the village. .
Zhou Qiufeng was at home. When he saw Chen Dalian, Sister-in-law He came, she hurriedly greeted him: "Hey, Big Face, Sister-in-law He, why are you so polite? Your family just came back not long ago. Please take these chickens home and feed them to lay eggs for you." My children eat it."
"There is no reason to take it back after you bring it. There is no need to return the gift. We didn't bring the return gift, otherwise it would be troublesome to take another one home." Chen smiled honestly, seeing the joy The girl from home showed a bigger smile on her tanned face: "Little Lele, do you still remember Uncle Big Face? When you were a child, you climbed the big locust tree outside the village to see if the owl would come down, and it was Uncle Big Face who hugged you down. Do you remember? ?”
“Ah woo!” Le Yun wasn’t very impressed at first, but when old things were mentioned, she covered her face and said, “Uncle with a big face, please don’t expose me.”
She had no friends to play with when she was a child, so she played wildly by herself. Running around everywhere, it can be said that there is no big tree or haystack in the whole village that she has not visited. As for catching loaches and fish in the water, picking fruits and catching birds on the trees, she has done it all.
The worst time I ever climbed a tree when I was a kid was climbing an old locust tree outside the village to see baby owls. When I climbed up, I didn’t see the baby owls. What I saw was a black and white snake coiled in the hole of the tree. I was so scared that it slipped and fell. The tree got stuck, and then, ahem, unfortunately, there happened to be another nest of ants on the tree, and it hit the ant nest, and the ants started to attack.
That time she got stuck in a tree and cried miserably. Fortunately, an uncle from the Chen family found her and climbed up the tree to rescue her. Of course, when she was rescued, she was covered in ants and her face and body were stung all over. It was pimples and blisters, and my eyes were so swollen that I couldn't see anything.
Not long after she was rescued by her uncle surnamed Chen, her injuries were still not healed, so the person who rescued her became her son-in-law, because she was really very young at that time, only a little over three years old, and Chen Dalian was not in the village. It was not common, so her memory of Chen Dalian faded.
Mentioning the glorious old story of climbing the old locust tree, Le Yun's memory quickly revived. That incident was one of her dark histories. She was really stung by ants that time. It can also be said that she was bitten by ants the most since the founding of the village. The miserable one, her miserable appearance frightened her grandparents, and she almost thought she couldn't be cured. Fortunately, she was lucky, and her grandfather gave her medicine for several days, and soaked her with medicine every day for several days, and she was seven years old. After eight days, the edema all over my body slowly subsided, and I was able to jump around like crazy again.
"Little Madman, do you remember?" The little Madman of the Le family covered his face in embarrassment, and Chen laughed heartily. The Little Madman is a nickname given to the girl from the Le family by the older generation in the village. The little Madman's father also The nickname is "Xiangpao", because Yueqing has a short temper, like a firecracker, it will crackle when lit.
"Uncle Big Face, I remember, please don't expose your background, otherwise I will expose your background to Aunt He behind your back later." Le Yun bit her finger, please don't call her a little crazy, she is not crazy. .
"Okay, remember, Uncle Big Face will not reveal your background." Chen Big Face originally wanted to tease the little lunatic of the Le family, but when he saw Yueqing coming, he stopped teasing the little girl and smiled at his brother: "Yueqing, in a blink of an eye Little Lele is already so old, we should be getting older and older, but why are you getting younger?" "
I have a good girl studying medicine, of course she is getting younger and younger, Sister He, sit down quickly, my little cotton-padded jacket I'm a little unhappy about being exposed. I forgot to say hello to you guys to sit down." Dad Le hurriedly greeted Sister-in-law He when he saw her smiling so hard at his girl.
"We can sit on our own." Sister-in-law He replied cheerfully, pulled two chairs and sat down with her husband, still looking at the Lejia girl. The Lejia girl looked so tender, as green as a green onion. Yeah, hotter than the hot girls from her hometown.
Zhou Qiufeng handed Yueqing the native chicken brought by Chen Dalian, and she went to wash her hands before talking to Sister-in-law He.
After talking to Chen Dalian, Le Yun slipped away to get food and also brought mung bean paste to a couple.
Dad Le took the chicken to the cow and pig pen and locked it up. He washed his hands and came back to greet Chen Dalian and Sister-in-law He. Mr. and Mrs. Chao Er and Professor Wanqi went to pick vegetables in the back garden and have not returned yet.
Chen's big-faced sister-in-law He didn't sit down for long after drinking the mung bean paste. She first went to Cheng's house to see how the preparations for killing the pig were being done.
The meat pigs used by Lejia for the wine business are pigs raised by Cheng Youde's family. Sister-in-law Liu has kept them for Lejia for a long time. They are fed with whole grains such as sweet potatoes, pumpkins, rice and corn flour, and they are not fed with feed to gain weight.
Because the day's work was not particularly urgent, Cheng Youde Liu's sister-in-law only started the stove to boil water after breakfast and prepared tools and supplies for killing pigs and chickens, while Cheng Wu watched over the fire.
Zhang Poluo and his wife and Liu Lu and his wife went to Cheng's house and worked with Cheng Youde to wash sieves and dustpans for draining water, help sharpen knives and wash buckets, and prepare palm leaf strips for tying meat, spoons for blanching pig hair, etc.
Later, Cheng Youliang and his wife, Sister-in-law Li, also went to their cousin's house to help. Cheng Youliang and Cheng Youde are cousins. His father and mother are still alive. His brother Cheng Youcai does business in Yu Town, Shennongshan and bought a house on the street. His mother I live with my eldest son in my hometown.
His wife is from Shangzhuang Township. Since her family has few people, she would go back to her parents' house every year to help. Usually, Cheng Youliang would help the villagers at home, and Sister-in-law Li would go back to her parents' house to help, so neither end would be left behind.
When Chen Dalian He's sister-in-law came to help, Liu Lu and others were very surprised. Chen Dalian's father, Chen Wu, had fallen out with the Le family. It was not surprising that Chen Dalian's sister-in-law He still maintained a relationship with the Le family when she came back. After all, everyone was good at acting back then, so it was rare to take the initiative to help like this. It also showed that Chen Dalian was still the naive Chen Dalian who only helped with care but not kissing, and he was still their good buddy.
Sister-in-law Liu Cheng Youde warmly entertained Sister-in-law Chen Dalian He, drinking tea and eating melon seeds first, and then doing work.
