Dress like a farmer

Soybeans were soaked at home, and Chen Yuping went to the third grandpa's house to try his luck to see if there was a pig's tail, and he really did.

A pig tail costs a penny, very cheap, and there are not many mouthfuls of meat in total.

He returned home with a pig's tail, planning to make a braised pig's tail with soybeans. This dish will be eaten at night, and the fish hot pot at noon is enough.

Cui Yuanjiu packed up the fish, and went to the kitchen with a bowl, cutting board and kitchen knife.

Chen Yuping just hung up the pig's tail, glanced at the bowl in his hand, and smiled: "Your knife skills are really good, this fish fillet is very good."

"Yuan Jiu is really quick at work." Father Chen boasted.

Cui Yuanjiu grinned, eyes slightly bent, he hung up the cutting board and kitchen knife: "Now light the fire and cook the vegetables?"

"can."

It will not rain, Chen Yuandong brought his wife and daughter over for lunch.

"Brother Cao is awake, and Qiao Niu'er is clamoring to come over. It was raining heavily and I didn't let her go, but this little girl knows how to lose her temper." Liu Guixiang immediately put her daughter on the bamboo couch, and let her and Cao Brother joked: "Yuan Jiu is helping to light the fire." As he spoke, his brows and eyes were full of smiles, and he glanced at Father again.

Father Chen received the look from his second daughter-in-law and smiled cheerfully.

"Father and youngest haven't come back yet?" Chen Yuandong asked.

"Seeing if it's raining, I said I went to the field to have a look."

"I'll take a look too." After a pause, Chen Yuandong said again: "How long is lunch?"

Chen Yuping replied: "About half an hour."

Liu Guixiang helps to chop vegetables, potatoes, radishes, wax gourd, tofu, mushrooms, green vegetables, etc. There are nearly ten kinds of them, and they will be put in the fish hot pot and eaten hot.

I made another pot of vermicelli, but didn't cook the rice.

Chen Yuping sauce bowls, one spicy and one slightly spicy.

When it was raining outside, the old man Chen and his son returned home. They returned in time without any rain.

Cui Yuanjiu moved the pot from the small stove to the stove and put it on the stove. The table next to him was full of chopped hot vegetables, and he directly scalded whatever he wanted to eat into the pot.

Each person held a sauce bowl in their hands, and sat around the stove.

The fish soup in the pot is tumbling, exuding a strong fragrance, the mist-like heat rushes straight to the face with a scorching hotness, the drizzle is falling outside, and everyone in the house is eating fish hot pot and drinking a small cup of tea. Drinking wine, in the cool weather, I was sweating profusely and even my cheeks were glowing red, with a special spring breeze all over my face.

Full of wine, Chen Yuanqiu drank so much for the first time, his head was a little dizzy, but he didn't drink a few sips, it's just that he seldom drank alcohol and didn't have much capacity for alcohol.

"Eating fish hot pot is really comfortable." With blurred eyes, the expression is still full of meaning: "Third brother, eating fish hot pot must be very comfortable in winter."

It's been a long time since I ate hot pot, and after eating it this time, Chen Yuping is also very satisfied: "The soup pot made from the big pig bones is also very fragrant."

"Brother Ping will cook and eat." Liu Guixiang touched her face, a little worried: "I often come here to eat food these days, and I find that I have gained weight, even Qiao Niu has gained a lot of weight." Eat well Well, there is enough milk, and both mother and child are fat.

Chen Yuandong answered quickly: "It's not fat, it's just right." Holding Xiang Ruan Ruan, he kissed her tenderly.

"Second sister-in-law, look at my second brother, look at that look, I'm getting goosebumps." Chen Yuanqiu rubbed his arms: "Beauty is in the eye of a beholder."

The old man Chen, who was leisurely holding strong tea, glanced at his youngest son, and said: "Learn more from your second brother." The two have a good relationship, and the elder feels at ease seeing him.

The eldest son and his wife are not as good as the second son and his wife. Zhang Zhiwei just doesn't know how to understand. He doesn't bother to think about it and only knows how to live a boring life. There is nothing wrong with this kind of life, but it is too ordinary. The couple should be more intimate , Life is bitter and tiring, but my heart is also sweet.

"Learning, not only learn more from my second brother, but I also want to learn more from my father." Chen Yuanqiu blowing rainbow farts crazily, hoping that his father would not always put his mouth on him: "Speaking of loving my companion, No one dares to recognize the number one when father is number two." He gave a thumbs up, with a serious expression on his face.

The old man Chen smiled, probably because he drank some wine, and his mood was a little fluttering: "Your father just wanted to do this to me, and put him on the tip of his heart. Otherwise, I am a poor man, how can I marry you?" Dad, your father was a well-known good brother in all directions back then, so many people wanted to marry him, and the conditions were much better than mine, he didn't choose, but chose me!"

"He drank too much." Listening to his wife's voice, Old Chen knew that he was a little drunk: "Don't listen to his nonsense, it's one thing to try to please him, and he is also smart and willing to work hard. He is honest and upright in doing things and doesn't play tricks. He said that one is one and that he will treat me well for the rest of his life. After most of his life, he has not seen any changes in him for many years. He is still the same as when he first got married. Married and lived together. You have to find the right person, it doesn’t matter whether you have money or not, as long as you are diligent and quick-witted, you don’t have to worry about food and clothing. The most important thing is to put it on the tip of your heart.”

When Father Chen said this, he looked at Cui Yuanjiu meaningfully.

I don't know if this man has listened to his heart.

It didn't rain in the afternoon, and the business on the stall picked up.

Old man Chen led his youngest son to make tofu, while Chen Yuandong went to work in the field, Liu Guixiang and Old Man Chen guarded the stall while watching the child, while Chen Yuping and Cui Yuanjiu cleaned pig intestines behind the house.

"You follow the darts, you should have been to many places."

"I seldom go to the north and mostly walk in the south. I can't pick up the escorts that are too far away. It's too dangerous. In fact, there are not many good skills in the escort agency."

Chen Yuping smiled kindly: "Tell me about the outside world."

"A few months ago, I followed the escort and went to Xiucheng. It is a very beautiful and rich place. The people who live in Xiucheng are very gentle. Few people yell loudly. I have never seen a few ugly ones. There is a bit of delicate and handsome in the eyebrows and eyes, and the speech and manner are not the same as ours."

Cui Yuanjiu talked about the people in Xiucheng, the food in Xiucheng, and then every scene and thing. What he saw and experienced, he slowly spoke in a specific and careful way.

Chen Yuping heard him finish talking about Xiucheng, then talk about Tongcheng, and then Monan... There are many places, each place has different customs and scenery, Xiucheng's gentleness, Tongcheng's literati style, Monan's boldness, etc. .

When he heard it, he was yearning for it, and he wished he could go to every place.

"I also ate a kind of skewers. It was a store opened by a northerner. I don't know what kind of spices were sprinkled on it. It tasted very delicious."

Probably cumin?Chen Yuping thought about it and said: "If you come across this kind of spice outside, you can buy some and bring it back to me, and we will also grill it on skewers to taste what it tastes like."

"When I meet you, I'll buy it for you. It's really delicious. The store is not very busy, and the business is very hot."

Father Chen went to the stove house, and heard the voices by the well behind the house, and when he entered the stove house after a while, he heard the voices by the well behind the house again.

Within an hour, he went to the stove house three times, and he could hear voices by the well behind the house every time.

He didn't show it on the face, but he was really happy in his heart.

Cui Yuanjiu is a little young, but he is calm and honest, conscientious, has the ability to earn money, he is tall and strong, he looks reliable, he has a quick brain, and he works neatly. It's all just a matter of sight, except that his family is a little poorer, it's nothing, he has already broken away from the Zhang family.

If the two of them really got together, they would most likely live in Kuzhu Village. Brother Ping also wanted to build a courtyard house around the old house. In this way, they would be close together, and it would be convenient for them to come and go.

"Father thinks the young Cui family is very nice?"

Father Chen nodded, and did not hide from his second daughter-in-law: "I am very satisfied in every aspect. Brother Ping and him can really get together, and life will definitely not be bad. The most important thing is that Yuan Jiu will probably be able to Brother Ping lives in Kuzhu Village. As you know, Brother Ping has a hard time giving birth, so I just want him to be closer. There is something wrong. I knew it early when I was close. Under my nose, my father and I also rest assured."

"It's true." Liu Guixiang is also a mother herself, so she knows what the elders think, and she wants to keep her daughter under her nose.

Dinner is braised pork tail with soybeans, mapo tofu, fried pork with chili, and vegetable and mushroom soup.

The weather was not so good, there were seven steamed buns with shrimp paste and two tea eggs left, so I steamed the steamed buns again, or smeared with shrimp paste or served with vegetables.

After dinner, Cui Yuanjiu left Chen's house while it was still early in the morning, walking with ease and smiling, knowing that something good happened.

The young man said sourly: "It's good for you. I don't know how nourishing it is. I ate steamed stuffed buns for a whole day. I was waiting for you to bring back the lo-mei, but you stayed at the Chen's for a whole day!"

"The fish hotpot cooked by Brother Ping at noon is very delicious. It is delicious and delicious. I have never eaten such a delicious hotpot."

"You're showing off!"

"Dinner is braised pork tail with soybeans, mapo tofu..."

The young man howled when he heard this: "Brother Nine, just say one more word, and I will go to Chen's house tomorrow! I will do what I say!"

"Do you want two tea eggs?"

"Yes!" The young man howled and flew over, grabbing the tea egg: "Take it out sooner, it's really fragrant, it would be even better if it has a bit of braised flavor."

"If there is, I'll bring it back for you."

"I'll remember it. If I didn't bring it back, I'd go to Chen's to buy it myself."

Cui Yuanjiu remembered that there was another youngest in the Chen family, a 17-year-old man. He glanced at the young man, eating tea eggs with relish, and the 16-year-old brother, um... touched his chin: "You will go to the Chen family with me tomorrow. Okay, I confessed Brother Cao's life experience to the Chen family today."

"I just said, how come you look so happy, the Chen family is really nice!" He gave a thumbs up and continued to eat the tea eggs.

When Cui Yuanjiu talked about drafting his elder brother, only Father Chen and Chen Yuping were in the stove house, and the rest of the Chen family didn't know about it.

Lying on the bed at night, Father Chen chatted with his wife carefully, and then talked about his own thoughts: "I think this child is very good, he can live a life, what do you think?"

"It's only been a while, let's have a look first, it looks really good now, it's really reliable, Brother Ping will find him as a companion, let us watch it under our noses, so we don't have to worry about it. Besides, Brother Cao The son is the lifeblood of his master, and he is kind, even if the couple really have a child in the future, Brother Cao should not be wronged."

"That's what I think. Brother Ping has found another man. The real one will be different from the one he picked up. At that time, Brother Ping will be caught in the middle, and life will be difficult. No one will be safe after stumbling around." Father Chen has decided that Brother Cao is his little grandson, a thin and frail little baby, and now he looks fat and white, but it took him a lot of effort from Brother Heping.

"I think Brother Ping may also have the same idea. This afternoon, I was talking and laughing with Yuan Jiu, and we have been chatting all the time. I haven't seen him so enthusiastic before."

Old man Chen was a little surprised: "When cleaning the pig's intestines?"

"Yes, more than an hour."

"Brother Ping has the right idea. Let's see what he thinks. Follow his ideas. Don't get involved too much."

"I know." Father Chen said with a smile: "between them, I promise not to say a word, not even make eye contact, let them come by themselves, the paper is torn, the two of them really love each other Mind, we don’t need to say anything, it will naturally develop, I understand, don’t worry.”
