Liu Dayong arrived home and found that the tube bones had been cooked, "Who chopped them?"

"Grandpa chopped it with an axe."

Liu Caixia smelled the aroma in the pot and continued to add firewood.

Liu Dayong glanced at the half-pot of soaked rice and went to the river again with a smile.

Li Dong shouted "Minzi, close the door" in the room, and Li Weimin quickly ran to close the courtyard door.

Li Dong entered the kitchen, pointed to the pot piled with tongue, heart, liver, spleen and waist and said, "Caixia, take out the pork liver and pork loin, cut it up and fry it. Shoucheng Shouye will pull two green onions and celery from the private plot."

When it comes to eating, everyone is quick in everything they do.

When Ergu Li comes back, half a basin of sliced ​​pork liver is waiting for her to fry.

The white veins in the middle of the four pieces of waist that had not been completely cut were waiting for her to slice.

Seeing that she had eaten so much in one lunch, she couldn't help but ask, "Isn't it enough?"

"Pass!"

Li Dong, who was hiding in the room, heard the courtyard door being locked again and hurriedly ran out, "Second aunt, stir fry quickly. After frying, we have to cook rice."

Second Aunt Li rarely refuses her eldest niece's words. She just says, "Dabao, this kidney is for you alone."

"eat together."

Li Dong waved his hand, "There are so many things and the weather is hot. Let's eat with open stomachs."

Grandma Li also agreed, "There is no problem with Dabao's waist at all. After applying the medicine for two days, the bruises are gone. Let's eat it together."

Half a pot of pork liver was served with only four stalks of celery, and two pork kidneys were served with only two green onions.

Aunt Li grabbed a handful of dried chili peppers and stir-fried both dishes until they were very spicy. There was nothing left.

Not even a tube of bone broth was left.

Li Dong only gnawed on one fan bone, and she really couldn't eat any more.

She didn't know how to lose weight if she continued to eat like this.

Aunt Li couldn't hold on anymore.

Grandpa Li is still sucking bone marrow, saying that the essence of tube bone is in the bone marrow.

After resting for a while, Aunt Li took her daughter and husband to stew the remaining pig meat.

Opening the jar of seasonings, Ergu Li said, "Mom, it's time to buy the seasonings."

Li Dong said, "I'll use them all this time. If it's not enough, I'll add more onions, ginger and spicy food. I'll go to the county town to buy some next time."

Seasoning is a luxury item and does not require a ticket, but it costs fifty cents per tael. Ordinary families can prepare a few eight anise, even if they have seasoning.

Listening to her eldest niece's words, Ergu Li continued, "I also want to buy salt."

"Yeah, I remember."

Li Dong was thinking about the right day to go out. There was a knock on the courtyard door, and she hurriedly ran back to the west side room.

Grandma Li went to open the courtyard door in person, but there was nothing she could do. The grandfather and grandson at the table were still fighting with the bone marrow and debating whether to use an ax to split the tube bone.

Outside the door is Grandma Gao's neighbor on the left.

Grandma Gao was carrying a basket with only six eggs in it. She said sheepishly, "Sister Zhang, I smell the smell of pork liver. I, I want to exchange for a small piece of pork liver."

"Look at what you said."

Grandma Li said angrily, "What do you mean by changing? When the stew is cooked, I will send you a piece. How is Chenchen's health?"

Grandma Gao's eyes were moist, "It's still like that. She feels dizzy when she sits up. The village doctor always tells her to eat more pork liver to supplement iron."

"But Father Chenchen also queued up the night before. When he asked to buy pork liver, the salesperson said it was sold out."

"Actually, they are all kept internally. How did your family buy it today?"

"It's a coincidence."

Grandma Li explained, "Dayong got up early, and there were people buying meat in front of him."

"Three pigs were slaughtered today. With more meat, it won't be unusual for the pigs to go into the water."

"I brought a lot of money to Dayong, and Dabao asked him to buy more. He bought two sets of pig water in a daze."

"I'll send the pig heart to Chenchen in a moment. Don't worry, this kind of disease needs to be cured slowly."

Grandma Gao wiped her tears and said, "Okay, okay, I won't save a lot of these eggs. I'll get some money for you later."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Grandma Li refused to accept the basket, "Let's not talk about anything else. That night Dabao shouted for murder, and your son and daughter-in-law took the lead and rushed in to help. Just for this reason, can I accept your things?"

"They say that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. If you dare to put the basket down, our two families will cease to be friends."

Grandma Gao froze while bending down to put the basket.

Grandma Li helped her upright, "Take it back and cook it for Chenchen to eat."

After forcing her neighbor away, Grandma Li locked the courtyard door and entered the west side room, "Dabao, I'll send some of the pig liver to Chenchen later."

Li Dong thought for a while and then remembered who Chenchen was.

The seven-year-old grandson of the Gao family next door heard that his aunt had no milk when he was born.

Let's feed them rice soup, but poor families don't have rice, so they rely on the Li family to feed them fine grains...

At first, I thought that being sallow and thin was a bad thing. Since there are so many people in my family, I don’t have a healthy body.

Since the year before last, Chenchen had been feeling dizzy frequently. The village doctor said it was anemia and told her to eat more animal offal, and pig liver was the best.

I don’t know what luck the Gao family had. The family took turns going to the city to buy pork liver. As soon as they bought it, they said it was gone. Nine times out of ten, they couldn’t buy it.

In Dabao's memory, Chenchen seems to have disappeared this year.

"I forgot, otherwise, both pairs of pork livers would have been taken away by Chenchen."

Grandma Li knew that her eldest granddaughter was not a stingy person, "I told your grandma to take the pig heart as well."

"Row."

Li Dong nodded, "Get whatever you think is suitable, and send some to the Xiang family on the right."

"Give Chenchen some white flour. It will be easier to digest. When I go to the county seat, I will bring him some dried noodles. By the way, have you brought him the brown sugar?"

"Give it."

Grandma Li touched her eldest granddaughter's head and said, "Dabao has grown up, he no longer cares about food, and he also understands how to deal with people."

Grandma Li's actions coupled with these words made Li Dong feel like she was a cat or a dog.

……

A large pot of pig is put into the water. After it is stewed, only half of the pot is left.

Grandma Li picked out a large piece of pork liver and a pig heart and put them in a big bowl, "Send this to Chenchen."

He picked out a section of large intestine and half a pig's lung and put them in another bowl, "I'll send this to Xiang's family."

After the arrangements were made, she raised her head and said, "Xiaoru, where do you want to send it?"

Aunt Li picked up the bowl with pig lungs and said, "I'm going to Xiang's house."

She was afraid to see Chenchen, who was so thin that she wanted to cry.

……

Grandma Li packed the braised food bowl and a bowl of flour in a basket and went to Gao's house.

Grandma Gao took the basket and burst into tears.

Grandma Li patted her to comfort her, "I'm going to see Chenchen."

The west side house of Gao's family.

Gao Qingchen, who was lying on the bed, was as thin as a skeleton. When he saw Grandma Li, his sallow face showed a weak smile, "Grandma Li."

Grandma Li touched his withered hair distressedly, "Why have you lost weight again?"

"No."

Gao Qingchen refused to admit it, "It's always been like this."

Grandma Li didn't believe it, but she didn't say much, "Your sister Dabao asked me to dig out a bowl of white flour for you, and asked your grandma to make batter for you."

"You have a weak appetite. Don't eat anything that is difficult to digest. As for the pig liver, grind it slowly in your mouth before swallowing it."

"If you have no appetite, don't force it. If you are afraid of spoiling it, ask your family to eat it together."

"Your sister Dabao said that she will go to the county town in two days and bring you noodles back."

"Then brown sugar, make some sugar water and drink it. Don't save it. Your health will be better, and your family will have less to worry about."

"The little things you save are not worth anyone else's mouth. Do you understand this?"

Gao Qingchen nodded, "I know, I'm not saving it, I really can't eat it."

Grandma Li sighed secretly, no matter what kind of illness she got, she must have an appetite to survive it.

For a disease like Chenchen's, the village doctor said it was due to lack of nutrition.But if you can’t eat it, where will the nutrition come from?
