man to marry
Chapter 39 Mountain Village
The process of exchanging tickets was very smooth, or it can be said to be very smooth. Although Shang Lu had a cold face, but I have to say that the appearance conditions are there. Just along the way, Shu Xia saw many women in He looked at him without a trace.
The ticket Shang Lu exchanged was on the top of Shu Xia, and a big man taller than 1.8 meters slept in the middle seat, which was a bit crowded. It was Lin Mang who volunteered to sleep in the middle berth, and the problem was solved.
The train was closed, and there were various smells from people coming and going. Lin Mang didn't mind it, instead, he sat on the seat next to him and looked at the scenery outside, feeling a little excited about traveling far away.
Shu Xia originally thought that a man from a wealthy family like Shanglu would not be able to adapt to long-distance travel like a train, but he didn't expect that he would adapt well to other places except for being quieter. The place where the hot water is connected, the toilet is there, and Shu Xia He has prepared all the tissues that he forgot to bring.
"Hey, let me ask you," Shu Xia sat across from him, took out a bag of melon seeds that his mother stuffed in from somewhere in the backpack, and gave Lin Mang a handful of them slowly. He muttered, "You're actually very used to this kind of train, have you been on it before?"
"No," Phokelu tried the temperature of the water in the thermos, poured out a cup and said to him, "The environment is pretty good."
The white sheets are all freshly washed, and there is no other garbage on the floor in the compartment. Except for the noisy conversation and the poor air circulation, everything else is good.
When I was marching in the past, I might just sleep on the ground when I was tired at night, but the environment here is much better.
What was even more strange to him was that Shu Xia could adapt to such an environment. It was not because of hygiene or other problems, but because of the long-distance travel and fatigue, people would be very tired both physically and mentally.
Shang Lu knew about Shu Xia's life before, before Shu Yu tore through that superficial life, his parents were loving and his grades were good, he was actually quite carefree, this kind of long-term travel was actually the most It was exhausting, but Shu Xia seemed to be very adaptable, and she didn't feel tired at all.
Shang Lu thought that maybe it was due to Shu Xia's personality, although Mama Bai would spoil him occasionally, but he himself never spoiled himself, and was more self-reliant and self-reliant than others.
"What do you want? Eat some bread to cushion your stomach. My mother said that the food on the train is expensive and unpalatable," Shu Xia whispered to him. He delivered food once at noon, and he took a look at the ones that others had bought. , the rice is a little bit raw, the seasoning in the dish is too heavy, it looks like it was fried in a big pot, and the color and fragrance are not up to date.
Although he is not a picky eater, he would rather eat instant noodles than that.
"Thank you," Phytophthora ate two slices of bread to pad his stomach, and his appetite was not great.
Shu Xia watched the dosage of the milk powder and prepared the milk powder for Xiao Shangchen. When the temperature was about the same, she held the baby bottle and held the little guy in one hand, watching him hugging with his front paws, patting his mouth hard to suckle.
When Shang Lu travels far away, he can't leave Shang Chen behind. It's easy to take the child with him when he travels far away. It's just that there is a nanny at home, but he can't take it with him when he goes out. Shang Lu made milk powder once, and Shu Xia saw that If you are not proficient, you simply took over by yourself.
After drinking a bottle of milk, Shu Xia wiped his mouth with a clean towel, changed the little guy's diaper and got ready for bed.
Shu Xia felt that she was not delicate, but as soon as the night fell, she immediately began to feel sleepy, the carriage swayed, and even Xiao Shangchen was not particularly energetic.
"Chenchen, sleep with brother Shu Xia at night, or with your eldest brother?" Shu Xia asked while looking at him with squinted eyes, scratching the little guy's chin.
The little guy doesn't understand anything yet, but he can pronounce "shu...shu..." just learned
"Haha, I knew you liked Brother Shu Xia the most, right?" Shu Xia covered the quilt, lay down on her side, put the little guy on her chest and circled him, and said along his back with one hand, "Okay It's time to sleep, Chenchen is good."
Xiao Shangchen rubbed his head against Shu Xia's chin, licked it, and went to sleep obediently rubbing the fur on the top of his head. He was not at all naughty when he was at home, and he didn't have to hold it in his mouth when he slept at night. The squeamishness of the baby bottle, even the obedient Shanglu suspects that the one in Shu Xia's arms has been transferred.
But no matter the pattern on his body or the round and chubby body that can hardly walk, it proves that it is indeed his younger brother.
Shang Lu silently looked at his younger brother whose sleeping belly was sticking out, and touched his flat abdomen. Xia Xia only touched his back yesterday, and didn't rub his stomach yet, but his younger brother beat him to such intimacy.
angry...
Shu Xia didn't sleep well all night, one was because of the shaking of the carriage and the unfamiliar environment, and the other was because he had to watch over Shang Chen all the time.
These days, not only orcs with a high pregnancy rate are easy to be missed, but small orcs are also easy to be missed. The younger the awakened age, the higher the qualifications, the easier it is to be missed by some people with evil intentions, Shu Xia Pay attention to this aspect, and because Xiao Shangchen doesn't sleep well, he has to rub against his neck from time to time to seek a sense of security, and Shu Xia is even more worried.
Even though she slept for nearly twelve hours, when she got up, Shu Xia's face was still a little haggard.
As soon as he sat up, Shang Lu, who seemed to have his eyes closed, opened his eyes. Shu Xia didn't sleep well, but he hardly fell asleep. Xin, all three of them need his protection. Shang Lu seems to be asleep, but in fact, as long as there is any movement from Shu Xia, he will open his eyes and take a look.
After listening all night, he knew that Shu Xia probably really didn't sleep well.
"You woke up quite early." Shu Xia pulled her hair and yawned sleepily. Xiao Shang Chen was still sleeping soundly, and he said softly, "Look at him, I'll go wash up."
"Okay," Shang Lu got up and sat on his side. On top of his head, the little girl Lin Mang was sleeping soundly, with a big heart.
Shu Xia took the toothbrush in the carrying bag and brushed her teeth, washed her face, smoothed her hair, and finally woke up.
The carriage became lively with the sound of ticket exchange by the flight attendants. Shu Xia remembered that they arrived at the station at around six o'clock in the morning, and it was already past five o'clock now.
Shu Xia went back to wash, changed Shanglu to wash, patted on it again, woke up the sleepy Lin Mang and said, "Mang Mang, get out of the car soon, get up soon, and sleep again when I get on the bus later." .”
"Hmm..." Lin Mang rubbed his eyes, silently lifted the quilt and climbed down, his hair was messy and sleep marks were still on his face.
"You slept pretty well." Shu Xia brought her a toothbrush and a towel for her to wash up, then began to pack her backpack, and wrapped Xiao Shangchen, who was sleeping curled up, in a blanket and hugged her inside.
They were not in a hurry, nor were they in a hurry to get off the train. They escaped the initial wave of crowds. When they finally got out of the station, there were few people there. Everyone could see everyone, and they were not afraid of getting separated.
The exit of the station is a small city, and if you want to get to Grandma Shuxia's house, you need to take another four hours by car.
They didn't have a good rest all night, and they simply ate something in the morning, so a few of them went to catch the car.
Early in the morning, there were not many people on the car, but the seats were very narrow, the cushions on them were crumpled up, and there was still a smell of smoke. Many switches on the windows were broken, and there were many windows on the glass. The dirt on the outside is somewhat blurred when viewed through it.
They came early and sat directly in the bottom two rows, one pair and one single. Shu Xia hugged Shang Chen, asked Lin Mang to sit beside her, but left Shang Lu alone in the single seat superior.
The driver saw few people, so he never started the car. Shu Xia knew that there were no special strict restrictions on such a car. It was common for people in two cars to join one in the middle. The smell inside the car was not very good. I didn't have a good rest, and the food I ate in the morning was a little greasy, and my chest felt a little stuffy right now.
"Do you want to go out to take a breath?" Shang Lu asked seeing his complexion.
"No need, this kind of car is not allowed," Shu Xia opened the window on one side, and rubbed the fluff on Shang Chen's forehead with her chin, finally relieved.
They waited for nearly an hour, and many people got on the car, some carrying chickens, ducks and fish, and some with children. Finally, the car was not as empty as it was at the beginning.
The driver saw that the people on board were about the same, threw away the cigarette butt in his mouth and stamped it out, and finally started the car and left.
There were a lot of people going up and down along the way. This kind of old-fashioned passenger car was not good in performance and trembled badly. Coupled with the bad road conditions, Shu Xia was even dizzy from the shock. Even Lin Mang's excitement at the beginning In the past, it was also a little sluggish.
Xiao Shangchen was also not feeling well. After waking up, he rubbed against Shu Xia's neck, faltering and making noises from time to time, which made Shu Xia's heart ache.
"Grandma, I want a puppy," a little boy with tanned cheeks pointed at Shang Chen in Shu Xia's arms.
"That's not a puppy." The old lady saw that it was a little tiger cub. Those who can be brought out openly are all little orcs. They are so small, and they are very precious. If children touch them casually, they will be compensated. I'm sorry, "That's an orc, you can't have it."
The child was eager to make a fuss, and was reprimanded by his grandma, but finally subsided, and Shu Xia was also rarely relieved, he didn't even want to speak now.
After getting out of the car, Shu Xia didn't say a word, first stuffed Shang Chen into Shang Lu's arms, then ran to the side of the road and picked up the roots to spit it out.
"Uncomfortable?" Shang Lu frowned, let Lin Mang hug Shang Chen first, unloaded one side of his backpack and took out the motion sickness medicine, opened the water glass for him to swallow, "Why didn't you tell me you were motion sick?"
"There were a lot of people in the car at that time." Shu Xia finally recovered after drinking water, but her body was still a little soft and her throat was burning. "I was really afraid that I would spit it out when I spoke."
"Xia Xia?"
Shang Lu wanted to say something, but he heard a slightly old question from the side, and Shu Xia followed the voice and looked over.
The old man who called him was a little thin, but in good spirits. His hair was black and greasy, but his tanned skin showed her age. Seeing Shu Xia looking over, she had a smile on her face, and the corners of her eyes were closed. There are smile lines, "Is it Xia Xia?"
"Grandma," Shu Xia walked over in surprise, and found that the old man was a head lower than him, but his back was not bent, and he even carried a bamboo basket on his back.
"Oh, Xia Xia has grown up so much, grandma doesn't even dare to recognize her anymore," the grandmother said with a local accent, and the address was also a local name. She carefully looked at Shu Xia's face, smiled kindly, and held her hand I made a comparison at the waist, "Last time I came here, it was still a little bigger."
"Grandma, I'm sorry," Shu Xia was a little embarrassed. His mother came here every year, but he always remembered that those who hated this or that didn't want to come here at that time.
"What are you talking about?" Grandma smiled, looked at him and said, "Motion sickness?"
"Yeah," Shu Xia nodded, even though she hasn't seen grandma for a long time, she still has a sense of intimacy, "I've been sitting in the car for too long, and I'm greasy in the morning."
"Your mother gets dizzy every time she comes here." Grandma took off the pannier on her back, took out a box from inside, and handed the sliced ginger to Shu Xia, "Hold it, it will be fine in a while. "
"Fresh ginger relieves greasy," Phytophthora added, "The symptoms of motion sickness will be alleviated after a while."
Shu Xia nodded and took it, endured the spicy taste and pressed it under the base of her tongue. The taste was quite irritating, but the greasy feeling just now disappeared slowly.
"This is Xia Xia's husband that Rourou said," Shu Xia was startled by her grandmother, almost spit out the ginger slices, and coughed until she choked.
"Yes," Shanglu didn't wait for him to refute, and stepped forward to admit, "Hi, grandma, I'm Shanglu."
"Hey, good." Grandma patted her leg, looked at such a tall man, and said yes, "Rourou said yes, it will definitely be the same."
"When did my mother tell you?" Shu Xia finally stopped coughing and asked. He wanted to tell his grandma that this was a friend, but his mother's mouth was too fast.
"Just two days ago, I said that you were married, and that the young man is very handsome and treats you very well." Grandma was in a good mood, and pointed to Xiao Shangchen who was in Lin Mang's arms and said, "Xia Xia, this is you." A baby?"
Xiao Shangchen pointed at him, stood up in Lin Mang's arms with his ears stretched out, looked at grandma with round eyes and let out a groan.
"It's really a family member who looks like a relative," the grandmother said strangely.
Shu Xia was so frustrated, his mother even told her grandma about him being able to have a baby, what else did she not say "Grandma, that's not my son, that's Shanglu's younger brother, and this is Lin Xian's younger sister , came here to play."
"The little girl is also beautiful," the grandma praised repeatedly, and looked around the street. "By the way, there is a market in the town today. You didn't eat when you came. Let's go back after eating something?"
The smell of food wafted from a distance, Shu Xia also felt a little more comfortable at the moment, followed her grandmother, and walked around the market.
Steamed stuffed buns, noodles, although the table doesn't look very clean, but there are plenty of food, the people in the farmhouse are willing to make a lot of food, and the taste is very fragrant, but a little salty, Shu Xia even drank a lot of water Only then did the salty taste be suppressed.
The group of them looked good, and their clothes were not the same as the people here. Along the way, grandma knew a lot of people, and someone who greeted them asked, "Grandma of the Bai family, who is this?"
"This is my grandson Xia Xia, you don't recognize it," the grandma said with a smile as she pulled Xia Xia's arm.
The man also looked at him a little bit and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for so many years, I've grown into a young man, I don't recognize him anymore."
After eating, they went back by tricycle in the village at the foot of the mountain. The road was rickety for more than ten miles, and then they began to climb the mountain road. The road surface was made of irregular stones, and in some places there were The soil is not man-made, but there are many people walking, and it has become a small mountain road.
After the grandma bid farewell to the people in the village at the foot of the mountain, she took Shu Xia to start climbing the mountain. It was inconvenient to walk on the mountain road, and it was even more inconvenient for Xiao Shangchen to be hugged, so the grandma simply put the little guy in the back basket and led them. up the hill.
"Grandma, don't you really need me to recite it?" Shu Xia was a little worried. Although grandma looked young, she was already 60 years old and still climbed such a mountain road.
"Hey, don't worry, I climb up and down every day, how much weight can such a small thing have?" Grandma refused his kindness, and she didn't need anyone to help her, and she didn't have any hiking sticks or non-slip shoes. went up.
On the other hand, when Shu Xia was tired enough, the old man was still fine, so she laughed and teased Shu Xia on it, "Look, as I said, young people need to be more active."
Shu Xia knew he was being laughed at, but the mountain road wasn't particularly steep, and he didn't make it up after two hours of climbing. Anyone who was tired would have to rest for a while.
For example, Lin Mang and him... Shang Lu stood aside and didn't look out of breath. Little Shang Chen was happier, looking around in the back basket, changing the scenery after a while, it was strange everywhere.
"Shanglu has good physical strength, do you exercise regularly?" Grandma praised Shanglu when she saw his calm expression.
Shang Lu nodded. The old man was about the same age as his grandmother, and he also had a natural sense of closeness. Shu Xia's grandmother, that is, his grandmother "had exercise."
After resting for a while, they continued to climb, and after another hour, they arrived at the mountain village where grandma lived.
The poet Du Fu once said that he would be at the top of the mountain and look at the small mountains. The mountains here may not be as high and dangerous as Du Fu said, but when Shu Xia looked back, the mountains and forests were dyed in the color of dusk. The path they walked was covered in the jungle, and there was no sign of it. It was yellow and green, which only made people feel empty.
The sparse mountain villages in front of you are surrounded by trees, the roofs are almost invisible, and the roadsides are full of wild flowers. Even the terraced fields in the distance are full of greenery, making people feel like they are in a paradise.
They still walked on the mountain road, and they occasionally encountered people returning from grazing in the village. By the time they arrived at grandma's house, it was already dark.
The lamp is an energy-saving lamp, but the light is warm yellow, a bit like lighting a candle. Shu Xia guessed that grandma might not like such strong and white lights, so she chose this kind.
Shu Xia and the others were led into a room. The kang built of blue bricks was huge and absolutely strong. It was covered with cotton mattresses and washed white sheets. There was a black wooden cabinet next to it, which was very Old, but clean.
"I heard from your mother that you are coming. The quilts are all freshly dried, and the sheets are freshly washed. It's cool in the mountains, so you have to cover yourself with a quilt at night, you know?" Grandma said with a smile, "I just didn't expect you to bring a little girl with you." , called Lin Mang?"
Lin Mang nodded.
Grandma said kindly, "Lin Mang, can I sleep with grandma at night?"
Apart from the kitchen, there are only two living places in the courtyard of the mountain village. The other Shu Xia glanced at it and piled up the medicinal materials. Shu Xia brought the people, but forgot to consider whether grandma's house could not live.
Without any hesitation, Lin Mang smiled and nodded, "Okay."
"Well, put everything down first. When I go out, the porridge is on the stove. Let's eat first." Grandma led Lin Mang to put the things away.
The scenes in Shu Xia's imagination appeared before her eyes one by one. There was a large black iron pot on the stove built of blue bricks, with a wooden lid on it, and the place where the firewood was added was sealed, but it still remained the same. Get close and still feel the heat.
Grandma took a large porcelain bowl and spoon, and scooped a bowl of porridge for each of them. The white sweet potatoes were sticking out inside, which was full of weight. Just by smelling it, one could feel a sweet fragrance.
Shu Xia held the bowl and took a sip, it was a little hot, but it was very sweet without adding sugar.
Served with the same hot dishes in the pot, Shu Xia didn't have much appetite at first, but when she drank a big bowl of soup, she realized that she was full.
As for Xiao Shangchen's rations, although he is still eating milk, he has already started to eat supplementary food. He ate two big pieces of stewed glutinous sweet potatoes, and the little guy was still a bit greedy. Shu Xia touched his bulging belly, but no longer fed him.
After the big pot of soup was finished, grandma said that Shu Xia was tired, so she wouldn't let him intervene. She cleaned the pot by herself, added water, sat on a small bench, added some firewood, picked After a few strokes of the fire and blowing of the bellows, the flame inside the stove ignited.
Washing feet and face, a large pot of hot water is almost enough. When grandma re-sealed the stove, she added water into it and said to Shu Xia, "Tomorrow morning, I will also scoop water from here when I wash my face."
"Okay," Shu Xia poured the water into the room and climbed onto the bed.
Tired for two days, and soaking her feet in hot water, Shu Xia lay on the bed, feeling a little sleepy looking at the lights above her head, and Xiao Shang Chen was not very energetic, she lay on his neck and half-closed her eyes. He flicked his tail all at once.
And Shang Lu didn't go to bed for a while, went out for a while, and was unpacking something, Shu Xia turned over, looked at the things in his hand and said, "Did you bring mosquito coils?"
"Babies can use it." Shang Lu put the mosquito coils in and plugged in the electricity. "There are irritating things in the mosquito coils, so Shang Chen can't use them."
"You're well prepared," Shu Xia looked at him with her hands on her arms, and said lazily, "I never thought of that."
"Hmm," Shang Lu was noncommittal.
Shu Xia is careful, if he takes Shang Chen with him for a while, it will definitely be more thoughtful than he thinks.
After everything was ready, Shang Lu took a deep breath and went to bed, sleeping on the outside, covered with a quilt that smelled of sunshine, and his nerves were a little relaxed at the moment.
He looked fine on the outside, but only he knew how tired he was.
The windows of the bedroom are closed tightly, the walls of the old-fashioned house are very thick, the sound of the mountain wind blowing outside is somewhat soothing, but the inside of the house is very cool.
Shang Lu turned off the light, and the two of them lay quietly without talking, only the occasional sound of Shang Chen flicking his tail and the sound of each other's breathing accompanied him to sleep.
There was no alarm, and Shu Xia was woken up by the crowing of a rooster. When he woke up, he was in the animal shape as usual. He opened his mouth and yawned and didn't care. The outstretched fur paw pushed it, and staggered directly onto the bed.
Shu Xia propped up the bed with her front paws and raised her head. The black nose of Xiao Shangchen, who was still wearing a diaper, moved close to Shu Xia. He seemed to smell a familiar smell. He stuck out his tongue and licked it, but put the whole mouse All licked.
"Shut up," Shu Xia pressed his front paws on his mouth, this lick was like tasting, and in the next moment, he would have to swallow it.
"Shu..." Xiao Shangchen's eyes lit up when he heard the voice, and he rubbed forward, pushing Shu Xia's whole mouse back a long way.
Xiao Shangchen seemed to find it interesting, and excitedly wagged his tail, raised his front paws and swooped. Shu Xia didn't have time to transform, and instinctively hugged his head with his front paws, but the weight he should have was delayed.
Shu Xia looked up from the center of the claws, the little white tiger was being held by a pair of big hands, its limbs were waving, and it was screaming non-stop, but it was as if it was being pressed by Wuzhishan, and it couldn't break free at all.
Shu Xia breathed a sigh of relief, changed back into a human form, pointed at the tip of Xiao Shangchen's nose and said, "Don't pounce next time, you know?"
How could his animal form be able to withstand such a swoop.
However, he always tends to sleep very deeply, and when he sleeps deeply, he tends to change into a beast shape. It seems that he will have to be vigilant at night for the next ten days.
Xiao Shangchen groaned, and took his finger in his mouth. Shu Xia pulled it out silently, stretched out his hand to rub his stomach, and said to Shangshanglu's inexplicable gaze, "He seems to be hungry."
The mountain village in the morning is very quiet, only through the tops of the trees, a few wisps of cooking smoke can be seen from a distance, which means that other people have woken up. A few eggs came out, and Lin Mang also took one in his hand, but there were two chicken feathers on his hair, and he didn't know how to touch it out.
The water in the pot is warm, and after washing your face, breakfast is ready. The freshly picked cucumbers in the small vegetable field are juicy, with a little green tomato, and the radish and cabbage from the cellar, and a piece of fresh Meat.
"Grandma, let me cook," Shu Xia felt that she was young and healthy, so it was fine yesterday, and she couldn't let the old man continue cooking today no matter what.
"Xia Xia knows how to cook." Grandma didn't stop her, she sat down and was about to light a fire for him, but it was a pity that Shang Lu took over the job.
"I know how to do it," Shu Xia picked up the kitchen knife on the table. It's a very heavy kitchen knife, even it can be used to chop bones. It can be used for all purposes. Of course, Shu Xia's cooking skills will not be limited by kitchen utensils.
The radish slices are very thin, and even the meat is like cutting tofu under his hands. Grandma saw that he was cooking well, so she didn't go up and intervene.
Lin Mang hugged Xiao Shangchen and carefully breastfed her. He sat on the small bench and raised his head and said, "Grandma, elder brother Shu Xia's cooking is delicious. At home, elder brother Shu Xia often cooks."
"Yes, it will be done well, and you can eat whatever you want." Grandma sat at the door and picked out the medicinal materials. Praise is nothing but praise. The elderly generally love their children, so they specially told them, "Just do it once in a while, and do it all the time." How tired you are, you are studying now, I will tell Rourou about it later, you are here with grandma, just do this once, ah."
Shu Xia's hands trembled, almost putting in too much salt, he was happy enough at home, his mother always said that he was busy enough in the restaurant, so don't do it at home, no matter what he said, the work at home is basically without him When he intervened, he was still thinking about who the hell he learned from. It turned out that he was in the same line as his grandmother.
"Grandma, I like to cook." Shu Xia took out the fried dishes and put them aside, re-poured the oil to prepare for the second dish.
"There is no child who likes to cook," the grandmother murmured, "Grandma knows you are filial, ah, there is nothing to go and play, now there are ripe fruits, pick the ripe ones, they are sweeter than those bought in the city."
Shu Xia's request was ruthlessly rejected.
After breakfast, I was sent out to play. Grandma told me not to come back until noon.
Shu Xia "..."
This way of pampering a child will definitely spoil the child.
But since the group of them came out, Shu Xia didn't think about sneaking back. He and Shang Lu walked slowly behind, but Lin Mang's curiosity was much stronger than the two of them, looking east and west. Look, I ran away with a swipe, and I grabbed a handful of small wild flowers in my hand, and I was happy to be like a baby.
"Brother Shu Xia, I found dates." Lin Mang brought back a few small dates and put them in Shu Xia's palm. Before Shu Xia could say anything, he slid away and ran away.
"Mangmang, don't run too far, pay attention to the road under your feet," Shu Xia shouted towards her back.
"Got it," Lin Mang waved his back to him, and ran away.
Seeing that she didn't run out of sight, Shu Xia took a look at the jujube in her hand, it was green and small, without any trace of maturity, he wiped it casually, tasted it, it was astringent, only a little bit sweet No, the little girl who was also lucky was found back.
Shu Xia guessed that she was more interested in finding things than the fruit itself. Should this kind of fun be called jungle adventure?
"Brother Shu Xia," Lin Mang came back this time and brought two small green apples. She put the apples into Shu Xia's hands and said enthusiastically, "I found a small river ahead with fish in it!"
Her eyes were wide open, obviously very pleasantly surprised, she tugged on Shu Xia's sleeve, asking him to go and have a look.
Shu Xia doesn't quite remember whether there is a small river here with grandma, but if there is fish, maybe it can be a snack at noon. He hasn't broadcast live since he got married. This original flavor is actually quite attractive.
Shu Xia passed the small river over there, there were indeed fish swimming in it constantly, the water quality was clear, only the occasional algae floated by, and the stones underneath were so clear that they could be seen.
Among them, the species of fish is the most common grass carp. Grass carp has many bones, but its meat quality and battalion value are very high. No matter which method is used to make it, it is very delicious.
"It's a pity that there are no tools." Shu Xia remembered seeing the fishing method of using branches to make fishing rods and fishing lines, and then digging some earthworms as bait. It's a pity that he only remembered and didn't know how to do it, so he could only stare blankly. I watched the fish with long forearms swimming freely in the river, and even came up to spit bubbles for them.
Shang Chen lay in Shu Xia's arms and watched You Yu shaking his head from side to side. If Shu Xia hadn't watched closely, he would have jumped off directly.
"Do you want to catch fish?" Shang Lu squatted down beside him and asked.
Shu Xia turned her head, "Do you have a solution?"
"Yes," Shanglu nodded, stood up, looked around, picked up a newly broken branch from the ground, took out a combination knife from his pocket, and began to sharpen the front part.
Shu Xia and Lin Mang immediately surrounded him, staring at the movements of his hands carefully, even Shang Chen was a little curious.
Forget about Lin Mang, Shu Xia stared at it so straight, Shang Lu straightened his waist unconsciously, trying to cut the rough branches to the most perfect tip.
The utility knife was very sharp, and the front tip was cut off after a few strokes of the branch. Phytophthora held it in his hand and tried the length, and walked to the riverside under the gaze of three pairs of eyes.
Under the refraction of the light and shadow, he wanted to use the harpoon to reach the fish, and he wanted to use the harpoon near the back and down. At that moment, there was a big fish swinging its tail feebly, and Lin Mang and Shu Xia cheered.
"It's amazing!" Shu Xia praised from the bottom of her heart.
"Brother Shanglu is awesome!" Lin Mang stared at the big fish and cheered.
If Shu Xia saw fish here in his previous life, he would roll up his trouser legs and jump down without saying a word, no matter whether he caught it or not, let it cool down first, but in this life, he still remembers when he was an apprentice, because of the cold water in winter to catch fish , Even if I no longer do that kind of work, I will still feel colder than others in winter.
Although the summer is very hot, the streams in the mountains are very cool. Unlike ordinary water, the water here has a natural coldness. If you don’t care about the coolness and don’t pay attention when you are young, it will be too late to regret it when you are old. .
It's a credit to Shanglu for figuring out such a way, otherwise he would have been thinking about not being able to eat it, and he might have to swim in his dreams tonight.
And being watched by Shu Xia's eyes, Shang Lu felt that he could catch another hundred.
Of course, one hundred pieces is useless. If you catch so many, you won't be able to eat them all. Shanglu caught two more, and Shu Xia called to stop.
The main reason is that this method of spearing fish is too simple and rude. Although it can be caught, it is impossible to put it in clear water and keep it until the next day.
Originally, Shu Xia thought that catching two fish would be enough, but who let him come up with the second fish did not think about the live broadcast. The signal in the mountains is not good, and the web page of the network card can be refreshed sometimes, so don’t think about the live broadcast. , but short videos are fine.
Shu Xia's idea was to upload it after recording it, so as not to prevent fans from screaming in the group every day, calling him to go back to the live broadcast.
Something is better than nothing, I believe fans will understand, Shu Xia thought comfortingly.
The three big fish were knotted with grass by the river, and Shu Xia found a bunch of mushrooms under a big tree. They were so juicy that they would break as soon as they were pinched. They must be delicious when boiled into fish soup.
For the three big fish, except for the fish heads, Shu Xia removed all the fish bones, leaving only the fish meat, and stewed them into clear soup.
The stew is the simplest, but it is a test of being a murloc. The onion, ginger, and garlic are fragrant, the fish is slightly rolled, and the mushrooms are fragrant. The water is poured into a pot of milky white, and finally the chopped coriander is added. , the whole kitchen is full of the fragrance of fish soup.
Lin Mang took pictures with his mobile phone, and his mouth was about to drool.
Shu Xia finished the final procedure, turned around and asked, "I just clapped my hands, right?"
Lin Mang turned off the camera and nodded, and asked eagerly, "Brother Shu Xia, when can we have dinner?"
"It's ready now," Shu Xia took a bowl and scooped up the soup for her. The amount of three fish is definitely enough for the few of them to eat.
The large enamel bowl and the pot of fish soup, Shu Xia originally thought there was still some leftovers, but in the end, there was nothing left, the pot was clean enough to wash.
"Brother Shang Lu can marry Brother Shu Xia, he will be blessed in the future," Lin Mang burped, and looked at Shang Lu enviously.
But in her heart she sighed that her brother was not up to par, if brother Shu Xia was her sister-in-law, how happy she would be in the future.
Don't live up to it, don't live up to it.
Shang Lu agreed with this statement, "I am blessed."
Shu Xia has endured a lot of stimulation, and she is already quite immune to such words. It is all about praising him for his good cooking skills, and she suddenly feels very grateful, "Thank you, thank you."
Once people are familiar with this, their skin will easily become thicker.
Grandma is also very satisfied with the food he cooks. As people get older, they will inevitably like softer things. The fish cooked by Shu Xia is fragrant and tender, which makes it impossible not to be full of praise.
"This is better than Chef Zhang who cooks banquets every time. Xia Xia's cooking skills are really good." Grandma smacked her lips and gave a compliment, "Where did you learn this?"
A banquet is also a kind of banquet, that is, when every family in the village has a wedding or funeral, more than a dozen tables will be set up. The dialect here is called a banquet.
"Well, I learned from a chef who specializes in cooking." Shu Xia prepared the shield of Master Guo early on. No matter who asks who he learned from at the beginning, this shield is very safe.
As for the new dishes and ingredients that he invented later, that is called genius.
"That's great." Grandma didn't know much about the industry, but she knew that doing well was promising. "If Xia Xia doesn't go to school, she can make money as a chef."
"Grandma, Brother Shu Xia is amazing," Lin Mang said with admiration, "He is the number one student in science in City A, and he went to the best university in City A."
"Really, study well and study better." Grandma doesn't know what a science champion is, but she knows that if she goes to university, she will be promising, and if she goes to the best university, she will be a master. "Xia Xia, You have to study hard."
"Yes," Shu Xia agreed with a smile.
After the meal, Shu Xia went to sort out the video. Miss Lin Mang's hands were very steady, and the picture was captured clearly. Just to prevent unnecessary trouble and facilitate editing, Shu Xia checked it from beginning to end, and found that there was nothing exposed. ** When I saw the picture, after simply splicing and editing the video, I looked at the suit in my hand, sighed and posted it.
If there is a vote, I don't know whether the fish soup is more attractive, or the ring on his hand is more attractive.
As for the final score, Shu Xia refused to think about it.
The ticket Shang Lu exchanged was on the top of Shu Xia, and a big man taller than 1.8 meters slept in the middle seat, which was a bit crowded. It was Lin Mang who volunteered to sleep in the middle berth, and the problem was solved.
The train was closed, and there were various smells from people coming and going. Lin Mang didn't mind it, instead, he sat on the seat next to him and looked at the scenery outside, feeling a little excited about traveling far away.
Shu Xia originally thought that a man from a wealthy family like Shanglu would not be able to adapt to long-distance travel like a train, but he didn't expect that he would adapt well to other places except for being quieter. The place where the hot water is connected, the toilet is there, and Shu Xia He has prepared all the tissues that he forgot to bring.
"Hey, let me ask you," Shu Xia sat across from him, took out a bag of melon seeds that his mother stuffed in from somewhere in the backpack, and gave Lin Mang a handful of them slowly. He muttered, "You're actually very used to this kind of train, have you been on it before?"
"No," Phokelu tried the temperature of the water in the thermos, poured out a cup and said to him, "The environment is pretty good."
The white sheets are all freshly washed, and there is no other garbage on the floor in the compartment. Except for the noisy conversation and the poor air circulation, everything else is good.
When I was marching in the past, I might just sleep on the ground when I was tired at night, but the environment here is much better.
What was even more strange to him was that Shu Xia could adapt to such an environment. It was not because of hygiene or other problems, but because of the long-distance travel and fatigue, people would be very tired both physically and mentally.
Shang Lu knew about Shu Xia's life before, before Shu Yu tore through that superficial life, his parents were loving and his grades were good, he was actually quite carefree, this kind of long-term travel was actually the most It was exhausting, but Shu Xia seemed to be very adaptable, and she didn't feel tired at all.
Shang Lu thought that maybe it was due to Shu Xia's personality, although Mama Bai would spoil him occasionally, but he himself never spoiled himself, and was more self-reliant and self-reliant than others.
"What do you want? Eat some bread to cushion your stomach. My mother said that the food on the train is expensive and unpalatable," Shu Xia whispered to him. He delivered food once at noon, and he took a look at the ones that others had bought. , the rice is a little bit raw, the seasoning in the dish is too heavy, it looks like it was fried in a big pot, and the color and fragrance are not up to date.
Although he is not a picky eater, he would rather eat instant noodles than that.
"Thank you," Phytophthora ate two slices of bread to pad his stomach, and his appetite was not great.
Shu Xia watched the dosage of the milk powder and prepared the milk powder for Xiao Shangchen. When the temperature was about the same, she held the baby bottle and held the little guy in one hand, watching him hugging with his front paws, patting his mouth hard to suckle.
When Shang Lu travels far away, he can't leave Shang Chen behind. It's easy to take the child with him when he travels far away. It's just that there is a nanny at home, but he can't take it with him when he goes out. Shang Lu made milk powder once, and Shu Xia saw that If you are not proficient, you simply took over by yourself.
After drinking a bottle of milk, Shu Xia wiped his mouth with a clean towel, changed the little guy's diaper and got ready for bed.
Shu Xia felt that she was not delicate, but as soon as the night fell, she immediately began to feel sleepy, the carriage swayed, and even Xiao Shangchen was not particularly energetic.
"Chenchen, sleep with brother Shu Xia at night, or with your eldest brother?" Shu Xia asked while looking at him with squinted eyes, scratching the little guy's chin.
The little guy doesn't understand anything yet, but he can pronounce "shu...shu..." just learned
"Haha, I knew you liked Brother Shu Xia the most, right?" Shu Xia covered the quilt, lay down on her side, put the little guy on her chest and circled him, and said along his back with one hand, "Okay It's time to sleep, Chenchen is good."
Xiao Shangchen rubbed his head against Shu Xia's chin, licked it, and went to sleep obediently rubbing the fur on the top of his head. He was not at all naughty when he was at home, and he didn't have to hold it in his mouth when he slept at night. The squeamishness of the baby bottle, even the obedient Shanglu suspects that the one in Shu Xia's arms has been transferred.
But no matter the pattern on his body or the round and chubby body that can hardly walk, it proves that it is indeed his younger brother.
Shang Lu silently looked at his younger brother whose sleeping belly was sticking out, and touched his flat abdomen. Xia Xia only touched his back yesterday, and didn't rub his stomach yet, but his younger brother beat him to such intimacy.
angry...
Shu Xia didn't sleep well all night, one was because of the shaking of the carriage and the unfamiliar environment, and the other was because he had to watch over Shang Chen all the time.
These days, not only orcs with a high pregnancy rate are easy to be missed, but small orcs are also easy to be missed. The younger the awakened age, the higher the qualifications, the easier it is to be missed by some people with evil intentions, Shu Xia Pay attention to this aspect, and because Xiao Shangchen doesn't sleep well, he has to rub against his neck from time to time to seek a sense of security, and Shu Xia is even more worried.
Even though she slept for nearly twelve hours, when she got up, Shu Xia's face was still a little haggard.
As soon as he sat up, Shang Lu, who seemed to have his eyes closed, opened his eyes. Shu Xia didn't sleep well, but he hardly fell asleep. Xin, all three of them need his protection. Shang Lu seems to be asleep, but in fact, as long as there is any movement from Shu Xia, he will open his eyes and take a look.
After listening all night, he knew that Shu Xia probably really didn't sleep well.
"You woke up quite early." Shu Xia pulled her hair and yawned sleepily. Xiao Shang Chen was still sleeping soundly, and he said softly, "Look at him, I'll go wash up."
"Okay," Shang Lu got up and sat on his side. On top of his head, the little girl Lin Mang was sleeping soundly, with a big heart.
Shu Xia took the toothbrush in the carrying bag and brushed her teeth, washed her face, smoothed her hair, and finally woke up.
The carriage became lively with the sound of ticket exchange by the flight attendants. Shu Xia remembered that they arrived at the station at around six o'clock in the morning, and it was already past five o'clock now.
Shu Xia went back to wash, changed Shanglu to wash, patted on it again, woke up the sleepy Lin Mang and said, "Mang Mang, get out of the car soon, get up soon, and sleep again when I get on the bus later." .”
"Hmm..." Lin Mang rubbed his eyes, silently lifted the quilt and climbed down, his hair was messy and sleep marks were still on his face.
"You slept pretty well." Shu Xia brought her a toothbrush and a towel for her to wash up, then began to pack her backpack, and wrapped Xiao Shangchen, who was sleeping curled up, in a blanket and hugged her inside.
They were not in a hurry, nor were they in a hurry to get off the train. They escaped the initial wave of crowds. When they finally got out of the station, there were few people there. Everyone could see everyone, and they were not afraid of getting separated.
The exit of the station is a small city, and if you want to get to Grandma Shuxia's house, you need to take another four hours by car.
They didn't have a good rest all night, and they simply ate something in the morning, so a few of them went to catch the car.
Early in the morning, there were not many people on the car, but the seats were very narrow, the cushions on them were crumpled up, and there was still a smell of smoke. Many switches on the windows were broken, and there were many windows on the glass. The dirt on the outside is somewhat blurred when viewed through it.
They came early and sat directly in the bottom two rows, one pair and one single. Shu Xia hugged Shang Chen, asked Lin Mang to sit beside her, but left Shang Lu alone in the single seat superior.
The driver saw few people, so he never started the car. Shu Xia knew that there were no special strict restrictions on such a car. It was common for people in two cars to join one in the middle. The smell inside the car was not very good. I didn't have a good rest, and the food I ate in the morning was a little greasy, and my chest felt a little stuffy right now.
"Do you want to go out to take a breath?" Shang Lu asked seeing his complexion.
"No need, this kind of car is not allowed," Shu Xia opened the window on one side, and rubbed the fluff on Shang Chen's forehead with her chin, finally relieved.
They waited for nearly an hour, and many people got on the car, some carrying chickens, ducks and fish, and some with children. Finally, the car was not as empty as it was at the beginning.
The driver saw that the people on board were about the same, threw away the cigarette butt in his mouth and stamped it out, and finally started the car and left.
There were a lot of people going up and down along the way. This kind of old-fashioned passenger car was not good in performance and trembled badly. Coupled with the bad road conditions, Shu Xia was even dizzy from the shock. Even Lin Mang's excitement at the beginning In the past, it was also a little sluggish.
Xiao Shangchen was also not feeling well. After waking up, he rubbed against Shu Xia's neck, faltering and making noises from time to time, which made Shu Xia's heart ache.
"Grandma, I want a puppy," a little boy with tanned cheeks pointed at Shang Chen in Shu Xia's arms.
"That's not a puppy." The old lady saw that it was a little tiger cub. Those who can be brought out openly are all little orcs. They are so small, and they are very precious. If children touch them casually, they will be compensated. I'm sorry, "That's an orc, you can't have it."
The child was eager to make a fuss, and was reprimanded by his grandma, but finally subsided, and Shu Xia was also rarely relieved, he didn't even want to speak now.
After getting out of the car, Shu Xia didn't say a word, first stuffed Shang Chen into Shang Lu's arms, then ran to the side of the road and picked up the roots to spit it out.
"Uncomfortable?" Shang Lu frowned, let Lin Mang hug Shang Chen first, unloaded one side of his backpack and took out the motion sickness medicine, opened the water glass for him to swallow, "Why didn't you tell me you were motion sick?"
"There were a lot of people in the car at that time." Shu Xia finally recovered after drinking water, but her body was still a little soft and her throat was burning. "I was really afraid that I would spit it out when I spoke."
"Xia Xia?"
Shang Lu wanted to say something, but he heard a slightly old question from the side, and Shu Xia followed the voice and looked over.
The old man who called him was a little thin, but in good spirits. His hair was black and greasy, but his tanned skin showed her age. Seeing Shu Xia looking over, she had a smile on her face, and the corners of her eyes were closed. There are smile lines, "Is it Xia Xia?"
"Grandma," Shu Xia walked over in surprise, and found that the old man was a head lower than him, but his back was not bent, and he even carried a bamboo basket on his back.
"Oh, Xia Xia has grown up so much, grandma doesn't even dare to recognize her anymore," the grandmother said with a local accent, and the address was also a local name. She carefully looked at Shu Xia's face, smiled kindly, and held her hand I made a comparison at the waist, "Last time I came here, it was still a little bigger."
"Grandma, I'm sorry," Shu Xia was a little embarrassed. His mother came here every year, but he always remembered that those who hated this or that didn't want to come here at that time.
"What are you talking about?" Grandma smiled, looked at him and said, "Motion sickness?"
"Yeah," Shu Xia nodded, even though she hasn't seen grandma for a long time, she still has a sense of intimacy, "I've been sitting in the car for too long, and I'm greasy in the morning."
"Your mother gets dizzy every time she comes here." Grandma took off the pannier on her back, took out a box from inside, and handed the sliced ginger to Shu Xia, "Hold it, it will be fine in a while. "
"Fresh ginger relieves greasy," Phytophthora added, "The symptoms of motion sickness will be alleviated after a while."
Shu Xia nodded and took it, endured the spicy taste and pressed it under the base of her tongue. The taste was quite irritating, but the greasy feeling just now disappeared slowly.
"This is Xia Xia's husband that Rourou said," Shu Xia was startled by her grandmother, almost spit out the ginger slices, and coughed until she choked.
"Yes," Shanglu didn't wait for him to refute, and stepped forward to admit, "Hi, grandma, I'm Shanglu."
"Hey, good." Grandma patted her leg, looked at such a tall man, and said yes, "Rourou said yes, it will definitely be the same."
"When did my mother tell you?" Shu Xia finally stopped coughing and asked. He wanted to tell his grandma that this was a friend, but his mother's mouth was too fast.
"Just two days ago, I said that you were married, and that the young man is very handsome and treats you very well." Grandma was in a good mood, and pointed to Xiao Shangchen who was in Lin Mang's arms and said, "Xia Xia, this is you." A baby?"
Xiao Shangchen pointed at him, stood up in Lin Mang's arms with his ears stretched out, looked at grandma with round eyes and let out a groan.
"It's really a family member who looks like a relative," the grandmother said strangely.
Shu Xia was so frustrated, his mother even told her grandma about him being able to have a baby, what else did she not say "Grandma, that's not my son, that's Shanglu's younger brother, and this is Lin Xian's younger sister , came here to play."
"The little girl is also beautiful," the grandma praised repeatedly, and looked around the street. "By the way, there is a market in the town today. You didn't eat when you came. Let's go back after eating something?"
The smell of food wafted from a distance, Shu Xia also felt a little more comfortable at the moment, followed her grandmother, and walked around the market.
Steamed stuffed buns, noodles, although the table doesn't look very clean, but there are plenty of food, the people in the farmhouse are willing to make a lot of food, and the taste is very fragrant, but a little salty, Shu Xia even drank a lot of water Only then did the salty taste be suppressed.
The group of them looked good, and their clothes were not the same as the people here. Along the way, grandma knew a lot of people, and someone who greeted them asked, "Grandma of the Bai family, who is this?"
"This is my grandson Xia Xia, you don't recognize it," the grandma said with a smile as she pulled Xia Xia's arm.
The man also looked at him a little bit and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for so many years, I've grown into a young man, I don't recognize him anymore."
After eating, they went back by tricycle in the village at the foot of the mountain. The road was rickety for more than ten miles, and then they began to climb the mountain road. The road surface was made of irregular stones, and in some places there were The soil is not man-made, but there are many people walking, and it has become a small mountain road.
After the grandma bid farewell to the people in the village at the foot of the mountain, she took Shu Xia to start climbing the mountain. It was inconvenient to walk on the mountain road, and it was even more inconvenient for Xiao Shangchen to be hugged, so the grandma simply put the little guy in the back basket and led them. up the hill.
"Grandma, don't you really need me to recite it?" Shu Xia was a little worried. Although grandma looked young, she was already 60 years old and still climbed such a mountain road.
"Hey, don't worry, I climb up and down every day, how much weight can such a small thing have?" Grandma refused his kindness, and she didn't need anyone to help her, and she didn't have any hiking sticks or non-slip shoes. went up.
On the other hand, when Shu Xia was tired enough, the old man was still fine, so she laughed and teased Shu Xia on it, "Look, as I said, young people need to be more active."
Shu Xia knew he was being laughed at, but the mountain road wasn't particularly steep, and he didn't make it up after two hours of climbing. Anyone who was tired would have to rest for a while.
For example, Lin Mang and him... Shang Lu stood aside and didn't look out of breath. Little Shang Chen was happier, looking around in the back basket, changing the scenery after a while, it was strange everywhere.
"Shanglu has good physical strength, do you exercise regularly?" Grandma praised Shanglu when she saw his calm expression.
Shang Lu nodded. The old man was about the same age as his grandmother, and he also had a natural sense of closeness. Shu Xia's grandmother, that is, his grandmother "had exercise."
After resting for a while, they continued to climb, and after another hour, they arrived at the mountain village where grandma lived.
The poet Du Fu once said that he would be at the top of the mountain and look at the small mountains. The mountains here may not be as high and dangerous as Du Fu said, but when Shu Xia looked back, the mountains and forests were dyed in the color of dusk. The path they walked was covered in the jungle, and there was no sign of it. It was yellow and green, which only made people feel empty.
The sparse mountain villages in front of you are surrounded by trees, the roofs are almost invisible, and the roadsides are full of wild flowers. Even the terraced fields in the distance are full of greenery, making people feel like they are in a paradise.
They still walked on the mountain road, and they occasionally encountered people returning from grazing in the village. By the time they arrived at grandma's house, it was already dark.
The lamp is an energy-saving lamp, but the light is warm yellow, a bit like lighting a candle. Shu Xia guessed that grandma might not like such strong and white lights, so she chose this kind.
Shu Xia and the others were led into a room. The kang built of blue bricks was huge and absolutely strong. It was covered with cotton mattresses and washed white sheets. There was a black wooden cabinet next to it, which was very Old, but clean.
"I heard from your mother that you are coming. The quilts are all freshly dried, and the sheets are freshly washed. It's cool in the mountains, so you have to cover yourself with a quilt at night, you know?" Grandma said with a smile, "I just didn't expect you to bring a little girl with you." , called Lin Mang?"
Lin Mang nodded.
Grandma said kindly, "Lin Mang, can I sleep with grandma at night?"
Apart from the kitchen, there are only two living places in the courtyard of the mountain village. The other Shu Xia glanced at it and piled up the medicinal materials. Shu Xia brought the people, but forgot to consider whether grandma's house could not live.
Without any hesitation, Lin Mang smiled and nodded, "Okay."
"Well, put everything down first. When I go out, the porridge is on the stove. Let's eat first." Grandma led Lin Mang to put the things away.
The scenes in Shu Xia's imagination appeared before her eyes one by one. There was a large black iron pot on the stove built of blue bricks, with a wooden lid on it, and the place where the firewood was added was sealed, but it still remained the same. Get close and still feel the heat.
Grandma took a large porcelain bowl and spoon, and scooped a bowl of porridge for each of them. The white sweet potatoes were sticking out inside, which was full of weight. Just by smelling it, one could feel a sweet fragrance.
Shu Xia held the bowl and took a sip, it was a little hot, but it was very sweet without adding sugar.
Served with the same hot dishes in the pot, Shu Xia didn't have much appetite at first, but when she drank a big bowl of soup, she realized that she was full.
As for Xiao Shangchen's rations, although he is still eating milk, he has already started to eat supplementary food. He ate two big pieces of stewed glutinous sweet potatoes, and the little guy was still a bit greedy. Shu Xia touched his bulging belly, but no longer fed him.
After the big pot of soup was finished, grandma said that Shu Xia was tired, so she wouldn't let him intervene. She cleaned the pot by herself, added water, sat on a small bench, added some firewood, picked After a few strokes of the fire and blowing of the bellows, the flame inside the stove ignited.
Washing feet and face, a large pot of hot water is almost enough. When grandma re-sealed the stove, she added water into it and said to Shu Xia, "Tomorrow morning, I will also scoop water from here when I wash my face."
"Okay," Shu Xia poured the water into the room and climbed onto the bed.
Tired for two days, and soaking her feet in hot water, Shu Xia lay on the bed, feeling a little sleepy looking at the lights above her head, and Xiao Shang Chen was not very energetic, she lay on his neck and half-closed her eyes. He flicked his tail all at once.
And Shang Lu didn't go to bed for a while, went out for a while, and was unpacking something, Shu Xia turned over, looked at the things in his hand and said, "Did you bring mosquito coils?"
"Babies can use it." Shang Lu put the mosquito coils in and plugged in the electricity. "There are irritating things in the mosquito coils, so Shang Chen can't use them."
"You're well prepared," Shu Xia looked at him with her hands on her arms, and said lazily, "I never thought of that."
"Hmm," Shang Lu was noncommittal.
Shu Xia is careful, if he takes Shang Chen with him for a while, it will definitely be more thoughtful than he thinks.
After everything was ready, Shang Lu took a deep breath and went to bed, sleeping on the outside, covered with a quilt that smelled of sunshine, and his nerves were a little relaxed at the moment.
He looked fine on the outside, but only he knew how tired he was.
The windows of the bedroom are closed tightly, the walls of the old-fashioned house are very thick, the sound of the mountain wind blowing outside is somewhat soothing, but the inside of the house is very cool.
Shang Lu turned off the light, and the two of them lay quietly without talking, only the occasional sound of Shang Chen flicking his tail and the sound of each other's breathing accompanied him to sleep.
There was no alarm, and Shu Xia was woken up by the crowing of a rooster. When he woke up, he was in the animal shape as usual. He opened his mouth and yawned and didn't care. The outstretched fur paw pushed it, and staggered directly onto the bed.
Shu Xia propped up the bed with her front paws and raised her head. The black nose of Xiao Shangchen, who was still wearing a diaper, moved close to Shu Xia. He seemed to smell a familiar smell. He stuck out his tongue and licked it, but put the whole mouse All licked.
"Shut up," Shu Xia pressed his front paws on his mouth, this lick was like tasting, and in the next moment, he would have to swallow it.
"Shu..." Xiao Shangchen's eyes lit up when he heard the voice, and he rubbed forward, pushing Shu Xia's whole mouse back a long way.
Xiao Shangchen seemed to find it interesting, and excitedly wagged his tail, raised his front paws and swooped. Shu Xia didn't have time to transform, and instinctively hugged his head with his front paws, but the weight he should have was delayed.
Shu Xia looked up from the center of the claws, the little white tiger was being held by a pair of big hands, its limbs were waving, and it was screaming non-stop, but it was as if it was being pressed by Wuzhishan, and it couldn't break free at all.
Shu Xia breathed a sigh of relief, changed back into a human form, pointed at the tip of Xiao Shangchen's nose and said, "Don't pounce next time, you know?"
How could his animal form be able to withstand such a swoop.
However, he always tends to sleep very deeply, and when he sleeps deeply, he tends to change into a beast shape. It seems that he will have to be vigilant at night for the next ten days.
Xiao Shangchen groaned, and took his finger in his mouth. Shu Xia pulled it out silently, stretched out his hand to rub his stomach, and said to Shangshanglu's inexplicable gaze, "He seems to be hungry."
The mountain village in the morning is very quiet, only through the tops of the trees, a few wisps of cooking smoke can be seen from a distance, which means that other people have woken up. A few eggs came out, and Lin Mang also took one in his hand, but there were two chicken feathers on his hair, and he didn't know how to touch it out.
The water in the pot is warm, and after washing your face, breakfast is ready. The freshly picked cucumbers in the small vegetable field are juicy, with a little green tomato, and the radish and cabbage from the cellar, and a piece of fresh Meat.
"Grandma, let me cook," Shu Xia felt that she was young and healthy, so it was fine yesterday, and she couldn't let the old man continue cooking today no matter what.
"Xia Xia knows how to cook." Grandma didn't stop her, she sat down and was about to light a fire for him, but it was a pity that Shang Lu took over the job.
"I know how to do it," Shu Xia picked up the kitchen knife on the table. It's a very heavy kitchen knife, even it can be used to chop bones. It can be used for all purposes. Of course, Shu Xia's cooking skills will not be limited by kitchen utensils.
The radish slices are very thin, and even the meat is like cutting tofu under his hands. Grandma saw that he was cooking well, so she didn't go up and intervene.
Lin Mang hugged Xiao Shangchen and carefully breastfed her. He sat on the small bench and raised his head and said, "Grandma, elder brother Shu Xia's cooking is delicious. At home, elder brother Shu Xia often cooks."
"Yes, it will be done well, and you can eat whatever you want." Grandma sat at the door and picked out the medicinal materials. Praise is nothing but praise. The elderly generally love their children, so they specially told them, "Just do it once in a while, and do it all the time." How tired you are, you are studying now, I will tell Rourou about it later, you are here with grandma, just do this once, ah."
Shu Xia's hands trembled, almost putting in too much salt, he was happy enough at home, his mother always said that he was busy enough in the restaurant, so don't do it at home, no matter what he said, the work at home is basically without him When he intervened, he was still thinking about who the hell he learned from. It turned out that he was in the same line as his grandmother.
"Grandma, I like to cook." Shu Xia took out the fried dishes and put them aside, re-poured the oil to prepare for the second dish.
"There is no child who likes to cook," the grandmother murmured, "Grandma knows you are filial, ah, there is nothing to go and play, now there are ripe fruits, pick the ripe ones, they are sweeter than those bought in the city."
Shu Xia's request was ruthlessly rejected.
After breakfast, I was sent out to play. Grandma told me not to come back until noon.
Shu Xia "..."
This way of pampering a child will definitely spoil the child.
But since the group of them came out, Shu Xia didn't think about sneaking back. He and Shang Lu walked slowly behind, but Lin Mang's curiosity was much stronger than the two of them, looking east and west. Look, I ran away with a swipe, and I grabbed a handful of small wild flowers in my hand, and I was happy to be like a baby.
"Brother Shu Xia, I found dates." Lin Mang brought back a few small dates and put them in Shu Xia's palm. Before Shu Xia could say anything, he slid away and ran away.
"Mangmang, don't run too far, pay attention to the road under your feet," Shu Xia shouted towards her back.
"Got it," Lin Mang waved his back to him, and ran away.
Seeing that she didn't run out of sight, Shu Xia took a look at the jujube in her hand, it was green and small, without any trace of maturity, he wiped it casually, tasted it, it was astringent, only a little bit sweet No, the little girl who was also lucky was found back.
Shu Xia guessed that she was more interested in finding things than the fruit itself. Should this kind of fun be called jungle adventure?
"Brother Shu Xia," Lin Mang came back this time and brought two small green apples. She put the apples into Shu Xia's hands and said enthusiastically, "I found a small river ahead with fish in it!"
Her eyes were wide open, obviously very pleasantly surprised, she tugged on Shu Xia's sleeve, asking him to go and have a look.
Shu Xia doesn't quite remember whether there is a small river here with grandma, but if there is fish, maybe it can be a snack at noon. He hasn't broadcast live since he got married. This original flavor is actually quite attractive.
Shu Xia passed the small river over there, there were indeed fish swimming in it constantly, the water quality was clear, only the occasional algae floated by, and the stones underneath were so clear that they could be seen.
Among them, the species of fish is the most common grass carp. Grass carp has many bones, but its meat quality and battalion value are very high. No matter which method is used to make it, it is very delicious.
"It's a pity that there are no tools." Shu Xia remembered seeing the fishing method of using branches to make fishing rods and fishing lines, and then digging some earthworms as bait. It's a pity that he only remembered and didn't know how to do it, so he could only stare blankly. I watched the fish with long forearms swimming freely in the river, and even came up to spit bubbles for them.
Shang Chen lay in Shu Xia's arms and watched You Yu shaking his head from side to side. If Shu Xia hadn't watched closely, he would have jumped off directly.
"Do you want to catch fish?" Shang Lu squatted down beside him and asked.
Shu Xia turned her head, "Do you have a solution?"
"Yes," Shanglu nodded, stood up, looked around, picked up a newly broken branch from the ground, took out a combination knife from his pocket, and began to sharpen the front part.
Shu Xia and Lin Mang immediately surrounded him, staring at the movements of his hands carefully, even Shang Chen was a little curious.
Forget about Lin Mang, Shu Xia stared at it so straight, Shang Lu straightened his waist unconsciously, trying to cut the rough branches to the most perfect tip.
The utility knife was very sharp, and the front tip was cut off after a few strokes of the branch. Phytophthora held it in his hand and tried the length, and walked to the riverside under the gaze of three pairs of eyes.
Under the refraction of the light and shadow, he wanted to use the harpoon to reach the fish, and he wanted to use the harpoon near the back and down. At that moment, there was a big fish swinging its tail feebly, and Lin Mang and Shu Xia cheered.
"It's amazing!" Shu Xia praised from the bottom of her heart.
"Brother Shanglu is awesome!" Lin Mang stared at the big fish and cheered.
If Shu Xia saw fish here in his previous life, he would roll up his trouser legs and jump down without saying a word, no matter whether he caught it or not, let it cool down first, but in this life, he still remembers when he was an apprentice, because of the cold water in winter to catch fish , Even if I no longer do that kind of work, I will still feel colder than others in winter.
Although the summer is very hot, the streams in the mountains are very cool. Unlike ordinary water, the water here has a natural coldness. If you don’t care about the coolness and don’t pay attention when you are young, it will be too late to regret it when you are old. .
It's a credit to Shanglu for figuring out such a way, otherwise he would have been thinking about not being able to eat it, and he might have to swim in his dreams tonight.
And being watched by Shu Xia's eyes, Shang Lu felt that he could catch another hundred.
Of course, one hundred pieces is useless. If you catch so many, you won't be able to eat them all. Shanglu caught two more, and Shu Xia called to stop.
The main reason is that this method of spearing fish is too simple and rude. Although it can be caught, it is impossible to put it in clear water and keep it until the next day.
Originally, Shu Xia thought that catching two fish would be enough, but who let him come up with the second fish did not think about the live broadcast. The signal in the mountains is not good, and the web page of the network card can be refreshed sometimes, so don’t think about the live broadcast. , but short videos are fine.
Shu Xia's idea was to upload it after recording it, so as not to prevent fans from screaming in the group every day, calling him to go back to the live broadcast.
Something is better than nothing, I believe fans will understand, Shu Xia thought comfortingly.
The three big fish were knotted with grass by the river, and Shu Xia found a bunch of mushrooms under a big tree. They were so juicy that they would break as soon as they were pinched. They must be delicious when boiled into fish soup.
For the three big fish, except for the fish heads, Shu Xia removed all the fish bones, leaving only the fish meat, and stewed them into clear soup.
The stew is the simplest, but it is a test of being a murloc. The onion, ginger, and garlic are fragrant, the fish is slightly rolled, and the mushrooms are fragrant. The water is poured into a pot of milky white, and finally the chopped coriander is added. , the whole kitchen is full of the fragrance of fish soup.
Lin Mang took pictures with his mobile phone, and his mouth was about to drool.
Shu Xia finished the final procedure, turned around and asked, "I just clapped my hands, right?"
Lin Mang turned off the camera and nodded, and asked eagerly, "Brother Shu Xia, when can we have dinner?"
"It's ready now," Shu Xia took a bowl and scooped up the soup for her. The amount of three fish is definitely enough for the few of them to eat.
The large enamel bowl and the pot of fish soup, Shu Xia originally thought there was still some leftovers, but in the end, there was nothing left, the pot was clean enough to wash.
"Brother Shang Lu can marry Brother Shu Xia, he will be blessed in the future," Lin Mang burped, and looked at Shang Lu enviously.
But in her heart she sighed that her brother was not up to par, if brother Shu Xia was her sister-in-law, how happy she would be in the future.
Don't live up to it, don't live up to it.
Shang Lu agreed with this statement, "I am blessed."
Shu Xia has endured a lot of stimulation, and she is already quite immune to such words. It is all about praising him for his good cooking skills, and she suddenly feels very grateful, "Thank you, thank you."
Once people are familiar with this, their skin will easily become thicker.
Grandma is also very satisfied with the food he cooks. As people get older, they will inevitably like softer things. The fish cooked by Shu Xia is fragrant and tender, which makes it impossible not to be full of praise.
"This is better than Chef Zhang who cooks banquets every time. Xia Xia's cooking skills are really good." Grandma smacked her lips and gave a compliment, "Where did you learn this?"
A banquet is also a kind of banquet, that is, when every family in the village has a wedding or funeral, more than a dozen tables will be set up. The dialect here is called a banquet.
"Well, I learned from a chef who specializes in cooking." Shu Xia prepared the shield of Master Guo early on. No matter who asks who he learned from at the beginning, this shield is very safe.
As for the new dishes and ingredients that he invented later, that is called genius.
"That's great." Grandma didn't know much about the industry, but she knew that doing well was promising. "If Xia Xia doesn't go to school, she can make money as a chef."
"Grandma, Brother Shu Xia is amazing," Lin Mang said with admiration, "He is the number one student in science in City A, and he went to the best university in City A."
"Really, study well and study better." Grandma doesn't know what a science champion is, but she knows that if she goes to university, she will be promising, and if she goes to the best university, she will be a master. "Xia Xia, You have to study hard."
"Yes," Shu Xia agreed with a smile.
After the meal, Shu Xia went to sort out the video. Miss Lin Mang's hands were very steady, and the picture was captured clearly. Just to prevent unnecessary trouble and facilitate editing, Shu Xia checked it from beginning to end, and found that there was nothing exposed. ** When I saw the picture, after simply splicing and editing the video, I looked at the suit in my hand, sighed and posted it.
If there is a vote, I don't know whether the fish soup is more attractive, or the ring on his hand is more attractive.
As for the final score, Shu Xia refused to think about it.
