After eating and resting for a while, it was time to start work. Taking advantage of Chen Du's absence, Bai Xiunian was finally free to do his own thing, restarted the extinguished fire, and took out the pumpkin that was put in the cupboard. Put them in a pot with water, cover the lid and steam the pumpkin pieces.

After lifting the lid and poking it with chopsticks, he picked up the steamed pumpkin and called the two children over to help.

The three of them worked together to smash the steamed pumpkin pieces, put some glutinous rice flour, and then mixed the two together.Since the last time he used glutinous rice flour, Bai Xiunian bought some and kept it at home.

Knead the pumpkin into a non-sticky dough, and then start to knead the small pumpkin balls.

The three of them worked together in a division of labor, with one pulling the dough and the other rounding the flattened dough. Bai Xiunian completed the rest of the steps, marking lines on the kneaded pumpkin balls. Just like a mini pumpkin, very pocket-sized.

Put the small pumpkin on the bamboo sieve, add water to the pot, put the pumpkin on it, cover it and steam it.

During the waiting time, Chen Du came in twice, wandered around Bai Xiunian a few times, touched here and there, lifted the lid of the pot a few times, and finally was thrown out by Bai Xiunian who couldn't bear it anymore, but seeing The other party's pitiful appearance felt a little owed in his heart.

Is the man too tired?Just trying to be lazy?

Thinking of this possibility, the act of contacting Chen Du this day further confirmed this idea.

In fact, Bai Xiunian disapproved of Chen Du's exhaustion every day, but he couldn't help the other party's stubborn temper. Not only did he not talk about his tiredness, but he also delayed the work in the field.

When Chen Du entered the room again, Bai Xiunian asked someone to move a small bench and sat down.

"Pumpkin balls are almost ready, you might as well take a rest, and then send them over after eating." Yesterday when Ama Tan delivered the cakes, she was teased by Ke Jin, which made Tan's family feel embarrassed, and learned from it. The experienced Bai Xiunian naturally let go of this task.

The hot air from the boiling water rushing up was still a bit hot, Chen Du asked Bai Xiunian to hold the lid of the pot, while he stretched out his hand.

"Hey! Wait a minute, turn down the fire first. I don't know if I want to scald a piece of skin by burning like this." Putting the lid of the pot aside, pulling the man's sleeve, Bai Seeing this, Yu Sui walked to the stove very wisely and tossed about.

When the steam dissipated, he added some water and the boiling stopped. Bai Xiunian took a piece of cloth soaked in water and stuffed it into Chen Du's hand, "Use this."

The pumpkin balls were picked up and placed on the table. The smell made Bai Xiunian, who hadn't done any physical work, feel hungry, let alone Chen Du, who was already sweating profusely.

The two children on the side were also secretly swallowing. Lin Nianyuan stood far away, lowered his head and pinched the corner of his clothes, secretly looking at the small golden ball on the table from time to time.

Bai Xiunian saw it, waved to Bai Yusui, and said, "Yusui, bring Nianyuan over here."

Bai Yusui opened his mouth, grabbed Lin Nianyuan's hand and walked to the table, Lin Nianyuan was a little shy and lowered his head, not daring to look at Bai Xiunian and Chen Du.

"Brother, it smells so good." Bai Yusui blinked his big eyes, turning around the table and Bai Xiunian's face from time to time.

"You and brother made it together, of course it's delicious. Would you like to try the little pumpkin you made yourself?" Knowing Lin Nianyuan's shy temperament, Bai Xiunian was afraid that the other party would be too embarrassed to eat it, so he let the two little guys come together help?

Bai Yusui nodded heavily, and even Lin Nianyuan, who had kept his head down, moved.

Take a warm pumpkin ball, bite it lightly, it is a little hot, and you will know that the taste is very good after just one bite, and you will know it by watching the actions of the other three.Although the steamed pumpkin balls are not as crispy as the fried ones, they still taste soft and thick. After eating one, I couldn't resist picking up another one.

"You take these out first, and I have another pot to steam first." After trying the steamed pumpkin balls, Bai Xiunian couldn't help but want to taste the fried ones.

Bai Xiunian's little pumpkin was quickly sold out.

"Master Chen, this little thing is delicious, you are so lucky!"

"Yeah, yes, although the food made at home is edible, the taste is really heaven and earth compared with each other."

"I'm afraid the dim sum is better than the ones bought in the town, but I haven't eaten this kind of food."

A group of people talked about the ingredients of pumpkin balls from Bai Xiunian's cooking skills. Naturally, this man's chatter is not much worse than aunt's. Chen Du is not a talkative person, and the most talkative time is when he is with Bai Xiunian , so he covered up all the questions from the men, and returned to the house with an empty sieve.

When everyone ate happily, they naturally worked harder.

Bai Xiunian is steaming another pot of pumpkin balls, this pot has a relatively small portion, scoop out some of the extra water in the pot, add some hot water, and it will be steamed in a while.

After it was cooked, Bai Xiunian poured some oil into the pot. After the oil was hot, he poured the pumpkin balls into it and fried them. The aroma of the pot couldn't be overwhelmed, and it was more mouth watering than steamed ones.

"You can bring these back to Ah Mo and Grandpa to eat, okay? Just say that you helped my brother make them together." Put a big bowl of pumpkin balls and let Lin Nianyuan take it back for Uncle Niu to taste later. This child is so sensible, It's pitiful to have suffered so much.

Lin Nianyuan shook his head and waved his hands awkwardly, because he couldn't refuse, his face was flushed red.

Bai Xiunian turned his head and glanced at Bai Yusui, blinked his eyes to signal the child to persuade Lin Nianyuan, but he didn't expect the child to stand still and not speak.

Bai Xiunian had no choice but to put the things on the table and wait for Lin Nianyuan's Ah Mo to take them back. Why are the two children more stubborn than the other?

Turning around, he saw Chen Du with his long arms and legs huddled on the low stool. It seemed that he was the only person who was obedient enough. He didn't know what to say or do, and he didn't know how to refuse. He only refused to listen to persuasion when it came to work, and rushed to do everything.

He is also considerate, never tires himself out, doesn't talk much but is right, except for being silly occasionally.

Thinking about it this way, today's abnormal behavior is much cuter. He nodded appreciatively at Chen Du, he is really a good seedling, and he must be better to him in the future.

When Lin Axiu brought Lin Nianyuan back, although she declined several times, she still took the pumpkin ball away. After all, there was still a father at home. Bai Xiunian said it was for Uncle Niu, so Lin Axiu was not very polite. He smiled at Bai Xiunian and went back.

Due to the large number of people hired, the construction of the house started slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye. After it was completely built, summer came.

After the house was built, Bai Xiunian was not in a hurry to buy other furniture, but planned to invite a few families with close contacts to have a meal, which can be regarded as following the etiquette of this place.Since it was going to be a treat, the small square table at home was useless, it was washed and put into Chen Du and Bai Xiunian's new room to display things.

The room for the two of them has plenty of space. Except for the small table that was brought in, the box for clothes and quilts was also eliminated, and a small wardrobe was replaced. It is very convenient to store things without being dirty.

A capable carpenter in the village was hired to customize a round table. According to Bai Xiunian's request, the carpenter specially ordered four wooden strips under the round table. When there are many people, the round table can accommodate more people.

On the day when the table was moved back, Tan Ahma came to see Bai Xiunian's table, she was very surprised, and said that she would also make a table like this at home in the future, and she was idle after being surprised, so she took Bai Xiunian to start shoes.

When the house was being built, Tan Ame sometimes had to be busy with the work in the field. The peppers in the backyard had to be taken care of before they were planted, so there was no time to come to Bai Xiunian. Now that I have free time, I naturally have to make up for it. Come up, otherwise what you just learned will be a hand-to-hand job.

In the new house, two stoves were specially made according to Bai Xiunian's request, and they took up a lot of space. The space here was separated by a wooden door and became an independent kitchen.Three rooms were made for the time being, the main reason was to build another bathroom and dug a place for the water. In short, Bai Xiunian looked at his house with satisfaction in every way.

"Brother Nian, you will call someone to come over for dinner tomorrow. Come here if you are busy. If you are not busy, I can come to help you earlier." Tan Amo now likes to sit in the lobby of Brother Nian's house the most. , not too hot, spacious and well lit, you won’t get tired if you sit here and work on your shoes all day.

"Not many people, Uncle Niu's family, Qin Xiaohe will come, and you and Uncle Tan. By the way, will Tan Yang come back? I don't know if you are busy in the restaurant." Counting the number of people in my heart, the three of my family Two, Qin Xiaohe and his Amo, three from Uncle Niu's family, and Tan Amo's...

"Aren't you busy? Since their restaurant bought recipes and peppers from you, the smoked bamboo shoots have become their signature dish, not to mention peppers. They always add some to everything in the restaurant. At the beginning, my kid I was worried that the guests would not like it, but I didn't expect this to be the right thing for them. More and more people came to their restaurant to eat, and the reputation has spread. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back tomorrow, but I mentioned it to him last time. One time, I’m afraid I’m going to be busy and forget it.” Although Tan Ahma is happy that the business in the restaurant is good, but her own kid’s health is also important, there is no Ahma in the world who does not love her child.

"Come if you can. Anyway, I'll cook more dishes tomorrow. Ah Tan, I don't even have a chance to thank you for helping us so much." Bai Xiunian stopped his movements, not just this time Bai Xiunian kept in mind the building of the house, as well as the many help from the past.

"Brother Nian, this is your fault. In Ah Mo's heart, you are all my children. There is no Ah Mo in this world who does not love children. In the future, you can't say something thank you, otherwise Ah Mo should Angry." Patted Bai Xiunian's hand, this person is always in touch, you treat me well, I treat you well, there's nothing to say thank you.

"Understood, Ah." She gave Tan Ahma a smile back, and I am really looking forward to the days to come.
