Rebirth 1984 Wife and children are on the hot bed

The sun is good today, the breeze is gentle, and it's not that cold.

After chopping the cabbage, Xu Dahai brought in the cabbage dumplings and picked them all up in the vegetable field, cutting off all the roots.

Xiao Tingzi and the dogs were squatting nearby and watching. When she saw the dogs nibbling vegetables and helping her eat, she quickly said:

"Mom, do roe deer eat vegetables?"

"You should eat it. Go and feed it."

"alright!"

The little girl quickly picked up the vegetables on the ground and rushed towards the roe deer circle with her short legs.

soon.

She ran back again and shouted excitedly: "The roe deer really likes to eat cabbage!!"

Wang Xiuxiu, who was squatting on the ground chopping cabbage gangs, laughed. Seeing Xiao Tingzi's appearance, she couldn't help but think of her own childhood.

At that time, one day her elder brother caught a white rabbit, a very cute little rabbit.

She treated the rabbit as a treasure and fed it vegetables.

But one day she, Erya and the others went out to play shuttlecock, and when they came back, the rabbit had already been stewed...

She clearly remembered that she cried for a long time. Her parents lost their patience and slapped her on the butt several times.

The eldest brother also coaxed her and said he would catch another rabbit for her.

It's a pity - so many years have passed and no rabbit has been caught again.

It was precisely because of the painful experiences she experienced as a child that she decided not to let her daughter, Xiao Tingzi, experience the pain she had experienced again.

My daughter Xiao Tingzi wanted to keep the Chinese fish, and she supported it.

Xiao Tingzi was not allowed to kill the stupid chickens raised at home. She had fed those stupid chickens from little ones to big ones.

Then Wang Xiuxiu bought stupid chicken from the market and brought it back to eat. It would be a little troublesome not to eat the chicken raised at home, but it was okay.

Xiao Tingzi ran around again and again, sweat breaking out on her forehead.

Xu Dahai spread a plastic sheet on the ground in the front yard and put the cabbages on the plastic sheet to dry.

"Xiao Tingzi, please stop running. I see you are sweating. The wind is quite cold. If you have a cold, you need an injection."

"Ah, then I won't run away."

Xiao Tingzi was most afraid of injections, so she wiped the sweat from her forehead and didn't dare to run around.

Wang Xiuxiu also pursed her lips and smiled. She picked up the last two cabbages with her left hand and walked to the front yard holding her little hand with her right hand:

"Come on, let me wipe your sweat away."

Part of the Chinese cabbage is used to pickle sauerkraut, and the remaining cabbage, which is nearly two hundred kilograms, is stored for winter.

As for the vegetable leaves and other things left in the field, of course Yang Weiguo, the long-term worker, took a rake and pulled them into a pile, and fed them to the roe deer or chickens.

As for the rotten ones, just throw them into the ditch.

……

Xu Dahai dusted off the dirt on his body and when he returned to the front yard, he happened to see his mother, second sister, Xiaohua and Xiaoxiang coming over.

"The cabbage is growing really well this year."

My mother squatted on the ground, picked up the cabbage on the plastic sheet and looked over it:

"The cabbage is much stronger than last year's."

The second sister, Xu Mei, had her hair braided and said with a smile: "Look at how big the tree on the right is. It's as big as last year's tree and a half... Let it dry in the sun. When it becomes wilted, you can put it in an urn. ."

Mom stood up and said to Xu Dahai with a smile:

"Our family has to dry the cabbage before we pickle the sauerkraut. Your Aunt He's family doesn't dry it, so they just soak it in water and then pickle it in the vat."

"Is that delicious?"

"Who knows, anyway, your Aunt He is very lazy. She doesn't get up until after ten o'clock every day, and the grass in the field is half as tall as a person."

Everyone entered the house and closed the door. In an instant, the cold wind was completely blocked out.

He brought fried pine nuts, peanuts, dried apples, dried sweet potatoes, etc. on a plate. Xu Dahai opened another can and the three little girls ate happily.

My mother knocked on the pine nuts and reached out to hug the big orange cat walking around.

"Does this lazy cat have fleas on it?"

Using rough fingers to pull away the cat's hair, my mother began to catch fleas on the big orange cat.

Time flew by, and two days passed quickly.

The cabbage lost a lot of moisture due to the sun and became wilted. Xu Dahai carried all the cabbage into the house.

beep beep bobo~

A wooden spoon was burning under the pot, and the jumping flames kept licking the bottom of the pot. Big bubbles exploded on the water surface. The water in the pot had completely boiled.

Wang Xiuxiu stepped to the side, held the pick and said, "Let's boil the water. After boiling the water, it can be marinated."

The so-called boiling water means to soak it in hot water.

In this way, when the sauerkraut is marinated, it will be crispier and more delicious.

Boil all the cabbage in hot water.

After that, put a circle of cabbage in a water vat specially used for pickling sauerkraut, and sprinkle a layer of salt on it, then place a circle of cabbage on it, and sprinkle a layer of salt on it...

so back and forth.

Until the cabbage emerges from the water jar, just put a big stone on top.

"This stone is really heavy, I'm afraid it weighs 40 kilograms." Xu Dahai carefully placed a big stone picked up from the river on top of the cabbage.

of course.

Whether it is a water urn or a large stone, they have all been cleaned before and scalded with boiling water.

Of course, some people’s pickled sauerkraut will be different.

For example, some people don't dry the cabbage, some cut the cabbage in half, and some don't boil the cabbage, or wrap all the cabbage in plastic sheets...

There are all kinds of things, and there are all kinds of them.

Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was Tuesday, November 1985, 11, the first day of October in the lunar calendar.

It was around 3 o'clock in the afternoon on this day, and the cold wind blew outside the window, and the sound of whining came one after another.

Xu Dahai was lying on the kang, petting the lazy cat in his left hand and reading a novel in his right hand.

Sudden.

Wang Xiuxiu, who was picking beans in the main room, said: "Xiao Hai, get up, Xiao Tingzi's master is here!"

"what?"

Xu Dahai put down his book, put on his cotton shoes and walked out quickly.

It turned out that grandpa had made the slingshot gun and sent it with more than 20 lead beans.

"Try it and see how powerful it is!" Although grandpa is older, he is still tall and burly, with a straight waist.

"Okay."

Xu Dahai followed his grandfather to the backyard. Wang Xiuxiu held Xiao Tingzi's hand and followed him to watch the fun.

The backyard is more than two acres, thousands of square meters, and there is a lot of space.

Especially the fruits and vegetables that were originally planted have all been harvested, and the open space is more suitable for gun practice.

Xu Dahai held a slingshot gun that was 1 meter long and weighed about 8 kilograms. The muzzle of the gun was pointed upwards, and his fingers were rubbing the gun body. He was very happy in his heart.

"Grandpa, let's start!"

"Okay, keep an eye on it!" Grandpa stood 30 meters away, tall and tall, and raised his hand to throw a golden corn into the air.

swoosh~

Under the sunlight, the corn is so beautiful, reflecting a little bit of light.

Xu Dahai's gun had already been loaded with a lead bean. When he saw the corn in the air, a sharp light flashed in his eyes. He aimed the gun and pulled the trigger.

Once ~

The rubber band rebounded directly and the lead bean was ejected directly.
