The poor man grows watermelon

Country people celebrate the New Year from the first day of junior high school to the second day of February.Throughout the first month, people are immersed in the busyness and joy of visiting relatives.

Both Su Ye and Yu Feng had no relatives, and the few friends had finished entertaining early, so Su Ye stayed at home with peace of mind.

This is the last leisure time before spring plowing.

"Daddy." Xuewa sat on the tatami and called out softly.

"Daddy is here." Su Ye stopped what she was doing and smiled.

The thin little finger pointed to the hanger at the door, "Daddy?"

Following his fingers, Su Ye saw Yufeng's cotton-padded jacket on the hanger, and replied with a smile, "Daddy has gone to the mountains, and he gave the baby a bunny."

"Tutu!" There was a strange look in the little guy's eyes.

Shao Ping gave two pieces of gray rabbit skin a few years ago, and Su Ya'er made a small waistcoat and a small hat for the doll according to Su Ye's drawing, and the little guy liked it very much.

"Hat!"

Su Ye took out a round rabbit fur cap from the box. The little guy stretched out his small arms and put it on his head awkwardly. He didn't even know he was wearing it backwards.

Su Ye laughed at him, and he also smiled sweetly.

The little guy's eyes are curved when he smiles, so cute.

Su Ye's heart melted.

Xuewa's birthday is the first day of the twelfth lunar month, and she is just two years old after her birthday.

Normally speaking, children of this age should already be able to speak very fluently. However, Xuewa is still at the stage of single-word sentences.

According to Brother Yang, the family is busy every day. Even Niu Xiaosan, who is only ten years old, has endless work. Terrified, I dare not speak.

Su Ye is not in a hurry, he will teach slowly and give him all the love that the doll once lacked.

Yu Feng and Su Qingzhu came back in the afternoon and had a good harvest.

According to the usual practice, at this time, Su Qingzhu should be proudly carrying a large bunch of prey and running at the front, but today it is very strange, with his head tied far behind.

"What happened to him?" Su Ye asked with concern.

Yu Feng raised the oversized hive in his hand, with a smothered smile on his face, "I was stung by a bee, and I'm sulking."

Su Ye's gaze leaped over his shoulder and looked at Su Qingzhu, who just raised his head, and his eyes, which were originally full of energy, were swollen and slit, with a red color hanging above his nose.

"Pfft—hug, sorry!" Su Ye tried her best to hold back a smile, but she couldn't help it.

"Shut up! Don't laugh!" Su Qingzhu looked fierce.

However, with such a pair of eyes, there is no deterrence at all, but it is very funny.

Su Ye turned her back, her shoulders shaking suspiciously.

Seeing and being seen, and laughing being laughed, Su Qingzhu sat down on the tatami and broke the pot.

Xuewa stared curiously at this strange "stranger" with her round black eyes.

Su Qingzhu suddenly made a grimace, scaring him maliciously.

Not only did Xuewa not cry, but she grinned and smiled warmly, "Uncle!"

Su Qingzhu was stunned for a while, "Can you recognize it like this?"

"It's not that he recognizes you, but he recognizes your ghostly appearance." Yu Feng hung the coat on the hanger, changed into the thin coat worn at home, and gave him a dissatisfied look, "Who else would scare our family except you? Qiaoqiao little twins?"

Su Qingzhu "cut", feeling a little guilty.

Yu Feng ignored him again, and hugged his little twins lovingly, "Have you thought about Daddy?"

Xuewa couldn't understand what he meant, her bright black eyes were full of dependence.

Yu Feng was extremely satisfied.

Su Ye finally stopped laughing, and asked concerned: "Is it a bee or a wasp?"

It is said that wasp needles are poisonous, but bee needles are non-toxic, and the treatment methods are different.

"It's the bee, who would give it a name!" Su Qingzhu replied angrily, holding the little bronze horse.

Su Ye poked his forehead and said, "I see when you can learn to speak well."

Su Qingzhu puffed up her face childishly and did not refute.

I heard that if you are stung by a bee, you can use garlic or ginger juice to disinfect it. Su Ye doesn't know if it is true.

He was hesitating whether to try it, Su Qingzhu said awkwardly: "The bee needle has been taken out, and it will be fine tomorrow."

When Su Ye heard it, he guessed it was probably a bee, "Have you been stung before?"

"Well, just, just once." Su Qingzhu replied hesitantly.

Normal people will not swell like this after being stung by a bee. Su Qingzhu probably has a sensitive constitution, which is why he has such a "laughing" effect.

Su Ye breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Have honey chicken at night, I'll make up for you."

Yu Feng and Su Qingzhu not only brought back a whole beehive, but also brought back a few pheasants, which happened to be done.

"I want to eat two, I can't be stung once in vain."

"Okay, use a big pot and make a few more." Su Ye was full of indulgence like a real brother.

Only then did Su Qingzhu feel happy again.

Su Ye once saw on the Internet how to use her own iron pot to stew honey chicken. You need to brush the bottom of the pot with oil and cover the pot tightly without leaving any seams. The chicken produced in this way is more tender than roasted chicken. The water is also sufficient, and it is most suitable for people with poor stomach.

He remembered the steps clearly, and this was his first attempt.

This is a delicate job. Not only does it need to be pickled in advance, but it also has high requirements for the primer.

Before the meat was marinated, Su Qingzhu was urging, "Is it okay, I'm about to starve to death."

Yu Feng slapped his hands on the stove, and replied with a smile: "I haven't cooked yet, what's the hurry?"

Su Qingzhu rubbed her stomach pitifully, "I ate two hard lumps at noon, and my stomach is already empty."

Yu Feng exposed him mercilessly, "The rib soup is for puppies?"

Su Qingzhu lied shamelessly, "Dahei drank it."

Dahei is a hunting dog raised by his father. After his father left, he followed Su Qingzhu to Mrs. Su Hua's house.

That dog is very humane, and occasionally comes to Su Ye's house to visit, and every time he can get something delicious.However, except for the food fed by a few acquaintances, even if the rest are lured with meat, it will not even smell it.

"How long is it?" Su Qingzhu is still growing, and he is really hungry when he has a big appetite.

Su Ye put the marinated chickens into the pot one by one, and said, "Come over and light the fire, and I'll bake two pancakes for you first."

"Yeah!" Su Qingzhu agreed happily.

However, he really has no patience for things like lighting a fire and cooking. In order to save time and effort, he always fills in a lot of firewood, and then runs around in the kitchen, touching here and there, until Su Ye reminds him. His firewood was almost burned out, so he ran back and hurriedly filled it up.

Su Ye was speechless and helpless, and drove him away as soon as the scallion pancakes came out of the pot, "If you continue to cook, the whole pot of chicken will be ruined."

Su Qingzhu chuckled, and went with Xiaoxuewa with a delicious pancake.

Su Ye and Yu Feng were the only two left in the kitchen, one was making noodles, the other was lighting a fire, reflecting the red fire, catching up with a few common words from time to time, it was the best appearance of life.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Ye reckoned that the heat was almost ready, so he removed the stones and the sackcloth from the pot, and carefully lifted the lid of the pot.

A strong aroma immediately permeated the entire kitchen.

Su Qingzhu smelled it from the house, and ran over impatiently.

Su Ye was holding a shovel to turn over several chickens one by one. Except for the burnt bottom, the rest of the chicken was golden in color, fragrant and tender, and it tantalized the taste buds at first glance.

"I regret it, I want to eat three, not two!" Su Qingzhu said confidently, crossing his arms.

Su Ye couldn't help laughing, "Take two to Auntie and Aunt Chunjiu first, and you can eat the rest as you like."

"Okay." Su Qingzhu nodded obediently rarely.

Although the wait for this dinner was a bit longer, it was well worth it.

Although Su Qingzhu didn't eat three of them, he also had a great time eating the delicious scallion pancakes.

He carefully collected the chicken bones and planned to give them to Dahei to eat.

Xiaoxuewa held the small wooden spoon by herself, obediently scooped up the egg custard and ate it, her bright black eyes looked at the roast chicken from time to time, although she didn't ask to eat it, she quietly swallowed her saliva.

Su Qingzhu couldn't bear to see it, and yelled at Su Ye: "You can just give him some, it's just chicken, it's not poison, it'll be fine if you eat a little!"

Su Ye had long been softened by his son's pitiful little appearance. As soon as Su Qingzhu said, he immediately threw all the principles behind his head, tore off the chicken skin with chopsticks, and took a piece of tender white meat to him. Xuewa's mouth.

"Eat slowly, don't rush."

Xuewa's eyes lit up, she quickly nodded her head, and then swallowed it whole with a "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Su Ye: ...

"This doll is so fun, I'm dying of laughter, hahahaha..." Su Qingzhu grabbed the chicken leg and laughed so hard.

Yu Feng poked his head, holding back a smile and enduring it very hard.

The little guy stared innocently at Su Ye with a pair of bright black eyes, his little mouth bulging and chewing desperately.

Su Ye sighed softly, took another piece silently, and put it in the little guy's bowl, "Don't worry, there will be more after eating."

Only then did the little guy obediently slow down, his eyes fixed on the meat in the bowl.

-

The days passed peacefully like this.

After the fifth day of the new year, the family returned to the life of going to Hulu Village every two days and rubbing medicinal wine on the baby before going to bed every day.

Although Xue Wa's legs still didn't improve, Su Ye never gave up.

Old Doctor Zhang is very patient, and his apprentice, Doctor Zou Xiao, is also conscientious. In short, everyone has hope.

Occasionally, I would meet Niu Xiaosan at the entrance of the village, and every time the little man would stuff two nests, and then run away quickly.

Later, before Su Ye went to Hulu Village, he made some snacks and wanted to give them to Niu Xiaosan, but the little man insisted on not wanting them.

As long as he can take a look at his younger brother, he is already very satisfied.

Xuewa is still obedient, and she always likes to let Su Ye take her out for a walk after dinner every day. When Su Ye is busy, he will wait quietly until Su Ye finishes her work.

What Xuewa likes most is going to the kitchen to look at those baskets of green plants.

Watermelons and pumpkins have already begun to grow, covering the corners of the house; Chinese cabbage has grown to the height of an adult's palm, and Su Ye occasionally picks the leaves that grow better outside to make small pimple soup for Xuewa eat.

One of the potted plants grew a little strangely. It was a straight stem with no branches or leaves. There was only something like a flower bud growing on the top, wrapped in a light green calyx.

The small wooden sign hanging on the basket said "Lily", but Su Ye felt that it was not a lily at all.

Or, is this what the original species of lilies look like?

Subconsciously, Su Ye felt that she seemed to have overlooked something, but she couldn't remember it for a while, so she had to let it go temporarily.

Xuewa is very interested in this strange plant. Since the buds sprouted, she has come to see it two or three times a day.

Su Ye was afraid that it would be poisonous, and told him not to touch it. The little guy was very obedient, and only watched quietly after a while.

As soon as Su Ye said, "See you tomorrow, the baby is going to sleep", the little guy would obediently let Su Ye carry him away.

Su Ye sighed again and again—it was insane that someone would throw away such an obedient baby.

The day has entered February unknowingly.

The river thawed, the grass grew and warblers flew, and the farmers ushered in the busiest season of the year.
