butcher's little man

The Dragon Boat Festival is coming, and Li Amu went up the mountain to pick a lot of zong leaves and came back to make zongzi.Although everyone looks sad because it is not raining, the festival still has to be celebrated.

Tian Xiaoman had already soaked the glutinous rice and beans at home. Besides, he also marinated some bacon to make dumplings.The water level is too shallow this year, and the county has not organized any dragon boat races. The county magistrate is busy trying to find a way to deal with the famine that may appear in the second half of the year.

Li Wenxuan's pork business has been going once every five days. Recently, he is protecting some merchants in the county to run business. He can make some money and know the news everywhere. Why not do it?

Tian Xiaoman was washing clothes in the yard at this time, and Xiaotuanzi was sleeping in the room.In order to know his movements at any time, Tian Xiaoman sent Brother Le to play in his room, and if he saw his brother crying, he would come out and tell him immediately.

"Well, my brother turned over!"

"Oh it's all right."

"Yeah, little brother laughed!"

"are you awake?"

"The eyes are still closed!"

"That's fine."

Tian Xiaoman was very tired, Brother Le came out to report after a while, it was even more tiring than seeing him.For a long time, Tian Xiaoman didn't hear Le Ge'er calling, and he was afraid of what happened, so he couldn't help but quicken his movements.

"What - what!" Geer Le's voice was a little labored, Tian Xiaoman looked up, and couldn't laugh or cry.Le Ge'er put his hands under Xiaotuanzi's armpits, with a tangled expression on his face, and struggled to lift him out.

The little fat man's clothes were lifted up, revealing a big white belly, with two little feet hanging in the air, curled up in fear, his little hands tightly holding Brother Le, his face was about to cry.

Tian Xiaoman wiped his hands on his clothes, then went to pick up Xiao Tuanzi from Le Geer's arms, and heard Le Geer and Xiao Tuanzi breathe out at the same time.

"Brother Le is so good, next time my brother wakes up and calls me, my brother is too heavy like a piglet, Brother Le can't hold him." Tian Xiaoman patted Brother Le's head and praised him first one time.

Le Geer grinned, still holding Xiaotuanzi's hand, he likes others to praise him.Tian Xiaoman touched Xiaotuanzi's little butt, and found that he was not wet by his urine, so he might be hungry.

Xiaotuanzi was weaned at just eight months old, and he had been wilting for two days because of this, but for the sake of Tian Xiaoman's tricks to make him delicious, he readily accepted it.

Tian Xiaoman brought out the porridge warmed on the stove and fed it to Xiaotuanzi.He felt that this kid was becoming more and more difficult to take care of, and he was becoming more and more picky.It was okay to drink plain porridge before, but since I went to the table with them a few times, I also know that I need side dishes.

Just like now, he has to watch Tian Xiaoman put the egg yolk on the spoon before he opens his mouth to drink the porridge, otherwise he whimpers and asks him to put it on.Sometimes Tian Xiaoman didn't want to help him, so he put the vegetables on the back of the spoon for him to watch, but he didn't feed them.After all, Xiaotuanzi still lacked experience, and was deceived by his mother several times.

After the meal was finished, Li Amu also came back. He fetched water in a big basin and washed the zong leaves.Tian Xiaoman took out the cart, pushed Xiaotuanzi in, and ignored him.

Take out the soaked glutinous rice and beans, bring out the marinated bacon, and then start wrapping the zongzi.What they make here is the kind of triangular zongzi, with edges and corners, ten and ten are strung together.

In addition to Zongzi leaves, one needs to prepare a kind of leaves, which are long and thin and open like a big cattail fan. Cut them off from the tree, tear them into strips and soak them in water to soften them. .Then you can pack it.

Both Li Amu and Tian Xiaoman had quick hands and feet, and dozens of them were piled up in the basin in a short while. Brother Le squatted beside them with two small leaves, imitating their appearance and wanting to make zongzi.

Tian Xiaoman, "Brother Le, you first stack the two leaves together."

Brother Le nodded and did as he said.

Xiaotuanzi, "Ahhh!"

"Fold the leaves, make a cylinder, and put some rice and beans in it." After finishing speaking, he showed Le Geer what he had made.

Brother Le did as he said, and put a spoonful of rice on it.

Xiaotuanzi, "Ahhhhhhh!"

Li Amu was laughing, and Xiaotuanzi was so anxious that he almost stood up from the trolley, grabbing with both hands, and wanted to get involved, but Tian Xiaoman deliberately ignored him.

This little idiot has been seven or eight months old and can't even say a word of "Em", and usually just yells, Tian Xiaoman has taught him how to speak, but he just can't speak, which makes Tian Xiaoman very frustrated.

Obviously he and Li Wenxuan are not stupid, why can't this kid speak?So Tian Xiaoman wanted to see if he would speak in a hurry.

Xiaotuanzi had been neglected by the adults all this time, so he sat back in the cart dejectedly, and started howling unwillingly.

Tian Xiaoman didn't even look at him, "One!"

"Ahhh——" Very well, it stopped.

It was Brother Le who felt sorry for him and gave him a small leaf, and he just swept away the unhappiness just now.Soon, the leaf was torn apart by him, and then he stretched out his hand and started calling again.

Tian Xiaoman patted his outstretched hand lightly, this time it was terrible, Xiaotuanzi burst into tears, this time there were tears.

Tian Xiaoman was a little speechless, isn't he usually so delicate?Why did you cry all at once?Little did he know that Xiaotuanzi had been wronged before, but now he slapped his mother for no reason, and instantly felt extremely pitiful.

"My precious son, what's the matter?" Li Wenxuan's voice came from outside the courtyard. He had been away for three days this time, and when he came back, he heard Xiaotuanzi's loud cry.

When Le Geer heard his uncle came back, he dropped the leaf in his hand and ran out, and was picked up by Li Wenxuan and thrown high twice.Xiaotuanzi cried even louder when he heard Father's voice, and reached out to Li Wenxuan while crying.

Li Wenxuan put down Brother Le, gave him a pack of snacks, then hugged Xiaotuanzi and kissed him a few times, "What's wrong? Tell Father."

Tian Xiaoman sneered, it would be nice if this kid could talk!Although Xiaotuanzi can't speak, he can do actions. He pointed at Tian Xiaoman, and then stretched out his beaten fat little hand to Li Wenxuan, signaling that he was beaten by Eminem, and then he said sadly twice. .

Tian Xiaoman is speechless, he can't even say a word, but he will sue!Li Wenxuan picked up his chubby hand and kissed it, "Tuanzi, Father is also afraid of you, Mu, let's go, I'll take you out to see Malaysia!"

Tian Xiaoman looked at the backs of the two of them with contempt, okay, he is the only one who is bad!

The zongzi was wrapped in a big pot very quickly, and there were some zongzi leaves left at the end. Li Amu put them away and said that she would make them next time.

Tian Xiaoman lit the fire, set up firewood, and then drained the zongzi one by one, then poured water in so that the water covered the zongzi, and finally covered the big pot.Cooking rice dumplings is a time-consuming job, and it is easy to get cooked without cooking for several hours.

Li Wenxuan came to the kitchen and hugged Tian Xiaoman from behind, "Xiaoman, do you miss me?"

"I thought about it," Tian Xiaoman readily admitted, and then continued, "I want you to take care of the child together. I am so tired of taking care of him alone without you."

Li Wenxuan kissed his side face, "I'll stay at home longer this time."

"Hmm..." Tian Xiaoman leaned back, feeling that it was good that Li Wenxuan was at home.

……

Xiaotuanzi didn't hold grudges very much, he soon forgot about his mother beating him, and scrambled for Tian Xiaoman to hug him.Tian Xiaoman just offended him and was willing to curry favor with him, and the two became very close.

Tian Xiaoman fed him the snacks brought back by Li Wenxuan, and Xiaotuanzi ate with his little feet raised up, very happy.The only thing he felt a little unhappy about was that his mother would stuff it into his mouth while eating, and then the cake would become smaller.

The zongzi was tumbling in the pot, giving off the fragrance of zongzi leaves and glutinous rice, which made the mouth water.Xiaotuanzi hadn't experienced such a temptation before, and his little hand kept pointing to the kitchen, asking Tian Xiaoman to take him there.

Tian Xiaoman saw that he was whimpering in anxiety, so he took him to the kitchen for a walk. Xiaotuanzi locked the cauldron with rice dumplings at a glance, and pushed Tian Xiaoman's hand to let him open it.

Of course Tian Xiaoman won't open it, let alone uncooked zongzi, even if it is cooked, you can't give it to him, glutinous rice is too much a test for the baby's stomach.

He turned around and was about to go out with Xiaotuanzi in his arms, stomping Xiaotuanzi anxiously, he hadn't eaten yet! "Mmm... um... seven!"

Tian Xiaoman looked at Xiaotuanzi suspiciously, did someone speak just now?Xiaotuanzi found out that his mother was no longer going out, and said excitedly, "Mm, seven! Seven!"

"..."

"seven!"

"Li Wenxuan, your son can talk!!!"
