Rebirth and Raising a Baby

After sitting at fourth uncle's house for a while, Lin Ling's family left.

The house is almost finished, and it will be officially over in two days. The second and third uncles will move in, and there will be a small relocation banquet to invite them.

Lin Ling took note of the time and bid farewell.

The second uncle specifically emphasized that he would order braised pork with her at that time, saying that the relatives in Linjiacun would also have a taste.

Lin Ling naturally said nothing, and agreed with a smile.

On the way home, Chu Yi led Er Bao, and Lin Ling led Da Bao.

Erbao became playful and wanted to leave by himself.

Lin Ling was worried that he would not be able to take care of everything, so he handed the second treasure to Chu Yi to watch over, and led the big treasure by himself.

This mountain looks high, but it is actually not difficult to climb up. It is just that there are many thorns in it, so few people are willing to walk.

With Chu Yi clearing the way before, this time it went smoothly.

Not in a hurry, Chu Yi also thought about explaining the plants on the mountain to the children.

Talking while walking, the father and son looked quite harmonious.

"what is that?"

Lin Ling vaguely saw a tree with fruit hanging on it, but couldn't tell what kind of fruit it was, so he took a closer look.

"Oh, it's a chestnut tree!"

Chu Yi answered casually.

Lin Ling's eyes widened. It was the first time she saw this kind of chestnuts. She usually bought them directly and roasted them. They were round and round. But the chestnut tree in front of her was all hairy and seemed a bit thorny.

"Is this really a chestnut? The kind you can eat?"

Chu Yi was a little funny when asked: "Isn't there only one kind of chestnut?"

After he finished speaking, he realized, yes, isn't the chestnut tree in front of him edible?Then why don't they just pick some and go home and try it!
"Daughter-in-law, I'll climb up to pick it up, will you pick it up for me?"

Chu Yi rubbed his hands, eager to try.

Lin Ling swallowed, and agreed.

Stir-fried chestnuts with sugar, roasted chicken with chestnuts, these are all delicious!

Putting Dabao and Erbao aside, and telling Dabao to watch over Erbao and not let him run around, the couple began to work together.

Lin Ling took out a large tablecloth from his small backpack and held the four corners. When he saw a chestnut falling on the ground, he hurried to pick it up.

Chu Yi's movements were very neat. He grabbed the branches and shook them, and several chestnuts fell down.

Accompanied by the sound of "哗哗哗".

Soon, Lin Ling filled most of his pockets.

"Chu Yi, is that enough?"

"Daughter-in-law, let's pick them all. No one else comes here, so we can take them all at once!"

After a few days to finish work on the house and the moving banquet, he will not often run to his uncle's house.

It would be a pity not to pick this chestnut tree now.

After Lin Ling thought about it, she continued to work.

By the time the chestnut trees were picked in sevens and eighties, only those who were not yet ripe were left, and Lin Ling had already filled a large sack.

"Daughter-in-law, you are so powerful, you still carry a big bag when you go out!"

Chu Yi really didn't expect that there would be such an operation!

He was worried that he and his wife wouldn't be able to take them with them, but his wife turned around and took out a large sack that could hold people.

He picked up the sack and shook it, it weighed at least two hundred catties.

"Okay, daughter-in-law, let's go back then!"

Chu Yi was dragging the sack in front, Lin Ling was holding Erbao, and Dabao walked between the couple.

After going down the mountain, there was no one on the back mountain side, and the young couple quietly went home with chestnuts on their backs.

When we reached the end of the village, we met a few people vaguely.

Someone asked Chu Yituo what was in the sack.

Chu Yi was still hesitating, but Lin Ling smiled and explained that he had just returned from his uncle's house.

It sounds like something my uncle gave me.

The man didn't ask any more questions.

Chu Yi gave his wife a thumbs up.

Great!

The family of four returned home.

Lin Ling thought for a while, but there was no food at home.

Of course, she didn't have the old hen, and she couldn't fit the backpack, so after thinking about it, she went to the old house with chestnuts.

"mother!"

As soon as he stepped into the gate, Lin Ling couldn't wait to call for someone.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Chunhua poked her head out of the kitchen.

Lin Ling smiled, it seems that this is preparing lunch!
"Mom, I brought something here to cook for you!"

Lin Chunhua opened the mouth of the bag curiously, took a look, and immediately understood.

"Is this a wild chestnut?"

Lin Ling smiled: "Mother, why are you so smart, you can tell at a glance?"

Lin Chunhua blinked triumphantly, and said, "That's right, no one around here grows this thing! And I heard that you went to your mother's house and came back from the back mountain, so I guessed it right away!"

Lin Ling couldn't laugh or cry, so it was because of this.

"Your news is really well-informed!"

Lin Ling shook her head, presumably it was said by someone she met on the road just now.

"Mom, I'm going to use this to make sugar-fried chestnuts and chestnut-roasted chicken, what do you think?"

"I've never done it before. I steamed it directly before." Lin Chunhua's eyes widened: "If you know how, then you can do it!"

"That!"

Lin Ling originally planned to cook it by herself, but wanted to hear Lin Chunhua's good opinions. It seems that everyone rarely eats chestnuts, so they haven't researched various recipes.

"I'll catch a chicken for you!"

After a while, Lin Chunhua came over with a fat hen.

Lin Ling weighed it, and it looked like four to five catties.

She is very satisfied, the hen is too old, the stew is too difficult to chew, it is better to ask for a tender one, which is delicious and tender.

As for nutrition and so on, she is not confinement, nor is she a sick person, so she doesn't pay attention to these things.

The key is to satisfy this mouth!
The two children were taken by grandma, Lin Ling was chopping chicken in the kitchen, and Chu Yi was squatting in the corner opening chestnut buds.

Freshly picked chestnuts have a shell covered with burrs, which protect the chestnuts from animals and insects that eat them.

When the chestnut is ripe, the brown-red fruit will burst from the chestnut buds of the chestnut.

"Daughter-in-law, this thing is too difficult!"

"No wonder everyone is unwilling to eat!"

Chu Yi sighed while working.

Even though his skin was rough and his flesh was thick, he still felt as painful as a needle prick after peeling a few more.

Fortunately, when most of the chestnuts fell, they would automatically separate from the chestnut buds. Few of them needed to be removed manually, otherwise Chu Yi would really have burst into tears on the spot.

Wait until he's done.

Lin Ling took out a wooden craft.

This is the chestnut opening tool she bought before.

Put the chestnuts on and rub them lightly, not to mention that the chestnut shells have a slit in the middle.

"Daughter-in-law, where did you get this thing? It's really useful!"

It was the first time for Chu Yi to see such a thing, so precise, he solved the problem of opening the chestnut shell in one go.

"Do your job!"

Lin Ling said quietly.

She bought this thing before, and it is estimated that the person who made it has not yet been born. How can she explain it? !
This gadget aroused Chu Yi's curiosity, and he looked at it while peeling the chestnuts.

However, after he ate the fresh and sweet chestnut meat, he no longer had time to worry about it.

Seeing that he caught several in a row, Lin Ling stopped quickly because he was afraid that he would become addicted to food.

"That's enough, I'll eat slowly when I get home, everything I brought here will be cooked!"

When the meeting is over, what will she cook with!
