Chapter 476 Winter Bamboo Shoots

The mother and daughter were chatting while washing. Su's mother glanced at the door from time to time. "The sun is going to set right now. It's okay to forget that your father and the others didn't come back. Why didn't your eldest brother and the others come back? They should have been home early." ah?"

She didn't know what she was thinking, her eyes widened slightly, "You're not in any trouble, are you?"

"No," Su Ziling shook her head, "Don't worry about the twenty. I guess it's either that the items are not sold out and I want to sell them for a while, or that I encountered wild vegetables on the road and went digging for them."

"These two kids," Mother Su muttered, lowering her head to wash the olives. She suddenly raised her voice, "By the way, didn't your brother bring back a bamboo rat this morning? Did you stew it?"

"No, I marinated it after cleaning it up, and then hung it on the fire pit to smoke. You can eat it after Er Niu and the others come back. The weather is cold now, so it won't go bad for a while. We have eaten it several times, Er Niu The cow hasn’t been eaten yet.”

While the two were talking, Mr. Su and the others came back. Each of them picked up a load of grass, while the old scalper carried two bundles of firewood. The calfskin was so thick that it refused to enter the door and kept running back and forth at the door.

"Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing, come out and bring the cow in. This calf has to be invited three times and four times before it comes in." Father Su put the grass aside and chased the cow several times, getting very angry.

Every time the calf arrives at the door, it "shooss" and runs away again, taking it by surprise.

"Hey, here we come!" Su Ziling responded, put down the olives in her hands and ran out. She came to the door and picked up a stick. The father and daughter surrounded each other before driving the calf in.

Su's father was so angry that he cursed, "Don't let it out another day. It has to be beaten several times every time it comes back. It deserves a beating."

Mr. Su put grass on the cow pen. Listening to Su's father's scolding, he said, "Let's buy a rope some other time and put the bridle on the cow. I also have to ask someone to make a cow saddle. I'm feeling energetic now." , you can start teaching Tuo Tuo.”

Father Su nodded and said, "Okay, this calf eats well and grows quickly. It can be taught as a piggybacker. After being carried on the piggyback for a while, it will become more docile, and it can almost be taught how to plow the fields."

After the cow was closed, Su's father patted the dust on his hands and said, "Is the meal ready? I didn't eat lunch today, so I'm a little hungry."

"The food is ready, but my eldest brother and the others haven't come back yet."

Su A'nai's voice came from over there, "If your grandpa and the others are hungry, then set the food first, and leave some for your eldest brother and the others to eat later."

"Not back yet?" Hearing that Su Zizhong and the others hadn't come back yet, Su's father frowned, "You put it aside first, I'll go out and pick them up."

He said that he walked towards the door without washing his hands.

"Dad, if you go to Lao Wangtou's house, remember to ask him to help burn a few more large vats for me to soak the olives."

"Okay, got it." Su's father waved his hand and responded without looking back.

Lao Wangtou's house was on the roadside, and they would always pass by their door when they went to pick up Su Zizhong.

Su Ziling didn't put the food on the table, and she didn't know when they would come back. If they came back late, it would be too late to put it on the table now and wait for them to come back.

After a while, Su Zizhong and the others came back. The door was not closed, and Su Ziling saw them as soon as she raised her eyes.

In addition to the utensils they brought out in the morning, they only saw two more bulging sacks.

Su Ziling saw this and hurriedly stood up to help catch it. Su Zizhong turned aside and said, "If you can't lift it, I'll do it myself!"

Su Ziling looked at her hands, then at the bulging head, blinked her eyes, and thought, is she being treated as a weak woman by her elder brother?

As soon as Su Zizhong put down his things, Su Ziling came forward and asked, "What's in here?"

Su Zizhong wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Bamboo shoots, didn't you say you wanted winter bamboo shoots? I closed the stall early today, so I borrowed a hoe from Huzi's family to dig them out. It's just two sacks. See if they are enough."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ziling had already opened the sack. The bamboo shoots were not very big, but each one was very plump. Her eyes lit up when she saw it, "Are there any more? If there are any, I'll dig some some other time."

"Yes, we'll dig again tomorrow." As he said that, he brought the sack next to him and put it together. "No one seems to be digging, but there were many people in previous years."

Mother Su burst out laughing, "That's because they haven't had time to go," she said, raising her chin in the direction of the pile of olives not far away.

"Did you see that they are all busy picking olives?"

Only then did Su Zizhong notice the pile of olives piled in the yard. Seeing the hill-like pile, he was obviously a little dumbfounded.

"So much? Do you want it?"

"It's okay, we have to collect more later. Just now, I asked my father to go to the big tank." Speaking of Su's father, Su Ziling was stunned and looked outside the door, but saw no one.

"My father? Didn't he come back with you?"

Su Zizhong shook his head, "We didn't meet our second uncle."

Mother Su snorted softly, "I guess they are setting up the Dragon Gate Formation at Lao Wangtou's house. Let's prepare the meal."

"Ah? Don't you wait for my father?"

"Why are you waiting for him? He's so shameless and I can't get him hungry. I guess he ate at Old Wang's house. Let's put it aside first. Your grandpa is also hungry. If he doesn't want to eat, come back later and cook him something. Just be a fan. "Su's mother knows Su's father very well.

"Oh, that's okay. I think the bamboo shoots are fresh. Let's mix a bowl. It's the first winter bamboo shoots this year. I think they will be very tender."

Su Ziling said, carrying a sack of bamboo shoots in one hand and heading to the kitchen.

Su Zizhong's words, "I'll do it," got stuck in his throat, and his outstretched hand froze in mid-air.

He looked at his hand, then at the sack, and finally withdrew his hand angrily.

I couldn't help but mutter in my heart, that sack of bamboo shoots isn't that light, right? At any rate, it weighs fifty or sixty pounds, and her one-hand carry...

Somewhat too much.

Su Ziling turned to look at him, "What's wrong, brother?"

Su Zizhong shook his head, "It's okay," and then pointed to another sack of bamboo shoots, "Do you want to bring this sack in?"

"No, it's too crowded to come into the kitchen. I'll peel this sack first and then bring it up."

Looking at her effortless back, Su Zizhong washed his hands in silence, entered the kitchen, picked up the sickle and peeled the bamboo shoots silently.

While peeling, he would look up from time to time to glance at Su Ziling who was blanching the bamboo shoots. Finally, she couldn't hold it back and asked, "Isn't it heavy?"

His lackluster words stunned Su Ziling for a few breaths, "What?"

Su Zizhong: "Bamboo shoots."

"Oh." Su Ziling reacted, "It's not bad, I guess it's only fifty or sixty pounds, but it won't be enough if it's more important."

"Wash your hands and eat!" She picked up the bamboo shoots, poured them over with well water, and shouted outside.

Su Zizhong stood up and put the food on the table, and Su A'nai and the others served it one after another.

After finishing the meal, Su Ziling went to deal with her spicy Polygonum, Su Zizhong and Twenty-Twenty were peeling bamboo shoots, and Su Mu was slicing them.

Mr. Su and Grandma Su were getting older, so they washed their feet and went back to the house to sleep.

The bamboo shoots need to be peeled and cut now, otherwise the broken parts will become old if they are processed tomorrow.
