Vicious cannon fodder loves farming

After learning that she was not driven back by Zeng Xingzhi, Grandma Yao caressed her heart, and stretched out her hand to help Yao Yan. How could Yao Yan be willing to let her reach out to help him, so she directly lifted the crutch and walked in the door. Grandma was terrified.

Even though Yao's mother had told her about Yao Yan's injury in advance, she didn't directly see how miserable he was.

When Yao Yan sat down, Grandma Yao carefully stretched out her hand to touch Yao Yan's left leg, which was fixed on the board, "Does it hurt badly?"

This question was also asked very carefully, for fear that Yao Yan would get up and leave if he was unhappy.

"It hurts," Yao Yan didn't hide it, and when he saw the old lady's red eyes, he hurriedly said, "But after this time, I finally understand that this person doesn't treat people well, and he will be beaten sooner or later. I won't If you do those bastard things, you won't let my mother and you worry about me."

Grandma Yao's heart softened when she heard this, and seeing Yao Yan's serious face when she said these words, without the usual perfunctory, she took Yao Yan's hand and nodded repeatedly, "You are right to think so, let's change it." It’s good, grandma is still waiting for those good days you mentioned.”

"Hey!"

Yao Yanyang laughed and nodded vigorously.

Then Grandma Yao asked how Yao Yan was doing at Zeng Xingzhi's place.

"Doctor Zeng treated me very well. Apart from staying in the medicine house on weekdays, he went out to collect medicine."

Grandma Yao nodded straightly, "Doctor Zeng is a good doctor, not to mention his medical skills, and he didn't show his face when he talked to us people. Speaking of which, didn't someone come from the next village yesterday?"

"It's here, with a little baby. It was scary to see the little face turn pale."

"I've heard people say that Dr. Zeng calmed down the child in just one stick of incense, and the child's face turned normal when he left. Is it true?"

Yao Yan really didn't understand the scene very well, after all, he and Dahei were roasting rabbits in the backyard at that time, but seeing Grandma Yao's curious appearance, Yao Yan picked him up and said, Grandma Yao listened very enthusiastically.

Since her bad legs and feet, she seldom went out to visit, but at least there were a few good old sisters who would come to see her if they had nothing to do, so they naturally mentioned what happened outside.

The two were chatting and laughing, and soon Zeng Xingzhi came to pick him up.

Seeing her grandson being picked up by Zeng Xingzhi, Grandma Yao almost dropped the crutch in her hand.

But Yao Yan, who was on his back, winked at her.

Grandma Yao: "...Yan'er, you have to remember what you said and follow Dr. Zeng carefully, you know?"

"I know grandma! You go back to the house."

"Doctor Zeng, walk slowly." Grandma Yao looked at Zeng Xingzhi again, "It's been raining not long ago, and the ground is slippery."

Do you want to put people down?

She turned the words back and forth on her lips several times, but she couldn't say them out.

After Zeng Xingzhi responded, he walked away steadily, looking at the back, he didn't look like he couldn't bear someone.

Grandma Yao waved to Yao Yan who was looking back at her, and when she turned around, she muttered, "It's obviously next door, why are you so reluctant?"

"This is the pickle pickled in my milk. It's delicious when making pancakes," Yao Yan said after returning to the yard, putting down the small jar in his hand.

"Eat tomorrow morning." Zeng Xingzhi nodded.

It was like customizing the menu for tomorrow, and Yao Yan was about to speak when he heard the sound of a rooster crowing from the backyard. He looked over and Zeng Xingzhi explained.

"Don't you eat chicken tonight?"

He bought it from a fellow villager's house on purpose.

I wanted to kill Yao Yan after killing it, but I was afraid that it would affect the taste if it was not handled properly, so I put the chicken in the backyard and locked it up, and decided how to kill it after Yao Yan came back.

"There are no lotus leaves in our village. I found the fragrant leaves, is that okay?"

This fragrant leaf is a slightly fragrant leaf. It is slightly smaller in size compared to lotus leaves, but it is larger than other leaves. Moreover, this fragrant leaf is often wrapped in pork for cooking, and its taste is also unique. At that time, when Zeng Xingzhi failed to find lotus leaves, he happened to see a child holding fragrant leaves in his hands, so he went to find two and returned.

"Yes," Yao Yan nodded, and then rolled up his sleeves, ready to go to the backyard to twist the chickens and kill them, but he forgot that his legs and feet were inconvenient, so he swayed a bit when he got up, but Zeng Xingzhi quickly supported him .

"Be careful."

Yao Yan was very embarrassed, and let go of Zeng Xingzhi's hand, "Doctor Zeng, please bring the chicken."

"Too polite," Zeng Xingzhi glanced at his hand, "Since you and I will always be by your side, call me..."

He was at a loss for words for a while, and swallowed the words "Xing Zhi".

Yao Yan answered, "How about I call you son?"

"Young master?" Zeng Xingzhi's hand hanging by his side moved slightly, not only did he think of the time when his friend was intimate with his little servant, but later they learned that his friend and that little servant were in love...

"Sir?"

Seeing that Zeng Xingzhi lowered his eyes and said nothing, Yao Yan called out.

Zeng Xingzhi came back to his senses, lifted his nose and coughed lowly, "I'm going to the backyard."

After speaking, he strode towards the backyard, and Dahei followed behind, apparently knowing that his target was the crowing chicken in the backyard.

Originally, Yao Yan was going to kill the chicken himself, but Zeng Xingzhi took over the job on the grounds that he was injured, and did it by the pool.

Zeng Xingzhi's hands are very beautiful, slender and thin.

Yao Yan sat at the stone table, propped his chin and watched his movements, "Why did you settle down in our village, sir? Xingfu Village to the east of the town has the best life in the nearby villages. I have been there several times. The fields over there are flat, and there is a big private school in the village, which is lively and interesting."

Hearing this, Zeng Xingzhi didn't answer right away, but instead asked, "Then do you think Xingfu Village is better, or is our village better?"

"Of course it's our village, this is where I was born and raised," Yao Yan said immediately.

Zeng Xingzhi smiled slightly, and turned his head to look at him, "I also think this village is good. Although it is far away from the town, the folk customs are simple and uncontested. Besides, there is a private school in our village, right?"

Private school?

The corner of Yao Yan's mouth twitched. Compared with the private school in Xingfu Village, the private school in their village is not a little bit crude.

The village they live in is called Lizi Village, because there are so many plum trees in the village, and when the plum blossoms bloom, the whole village is completely white.

When the plums were being borne, the children watched eagerly, drooling thinking about the taste of the plums. When it was time to harvest the plums, the villagers would pick the plums one after another and send them to the village head.

The son of the village chief works in the county town and has a way to sell the plums. When the money is settled, he will take it back and distribute it according to the people who participated in the plum picking at that time.

The village chief is also a formidable person. He won't allow the whole family to participate in the picking. Only one person can come out from each family. Yao Yan's family has always been Yao's mother alone. She works hard and can share the usual money.

And Lizi Village has only one scholar for so many years, and he is an old scholar. He has set up a private school at the side of the ancestral hall. The silver is received from the village chief.

And the silver is a small part of the silver left after the plums are sold, which is used as the village's expenses.

Yuanzheng stayed there for a few days when he was a child, because he was too stubborn, he was persuaded by the old master to go home, and was beaten by Yao's mother at that time.

This is also understandable, as an orphan and widowed mother, Yao's mother naturally wanted her son to be successful. When the old master came to the door and tactfully said that Yuan was influencing other children in the private school and did not listen to her at all, Yao's mother was trembling with anger.

But after being beaten, the original owner not only did not repent, even if he didn't go to the private school, he would deliberately make strange noises outside the private school, causing the children in the room to look around, causing the old master's brain to hurt.

Yao Yan, who came back to his senses from the memory, saw Dahei smelling the chicken feathers, thought for a while, got up and went to pick up some beautiful chicken feathers, and prepared to make them into shuttlecocks.

Zeng Xingyi knew what he was going to do just by looking at it, but his hands were too busy, seeing that Yao Yan was enjoying it again, he didn't step forward to help.

The chicken was very fat. After asking, I found out that Zeng Xingzhi bought it at Uncle Zhang's house, that is, the man who carried Yao Yan on his back that day.

Uncle Zhang is a bachelor with several brothers. They all lived together when his parents were alive. Later, when Zhang's father was seriously ill, he decided to separate the family for the sake of harmony in the family.

Uncle Zhang was the eldest, got the old house, and distributed the rest of the money to other brothers. Zhang’s father passed away not long after, and because Uncle Zhang hadn’t married for a long time, Zhang’s mother refused to listen to him and simply didn’t live with him. I went to live at Uncle Zhang’s house, who just passed away last year.

Although Uncle Zhang is a bachelor, he is tall and tall, and he can handle the work in the fields. Besides, he feeds the poultry, rabbits, ducks, and chickens. It sells eggs or chickens and ducks.

"It's really fat, it must weigh more than three catties?"

Looking at the naked chicken, Yao Yan had to admire Uncle Zhang's ability to raise livestock. After all, in this day and age, the fattest pig weighed only 150 catties.

"Indeed," Zeng Xingzhi nodded. When he first moved here, he noticed that Uncle Zhang's poultry was well raised.

Yao Yan washed his hands, and spread the seasoning that he had prepared on the inside and outside of the chicken, then sewed the belly of the chicken with the cleaned chicken intestines, then wrapped it with fragrant leaves, and finally friend Zeng Xingzhi came to wipe the mud .

The mud was dug from the small bamboo forest. After adding some water, it was very sticky. After a while, the whole chicken was wiped off. Yao Yan asked Zeng Xingzhi to put the chicken on the corner of the wall next to the stone table, and dug it out again. There is fine charcoal laid by Yao Yan in the fire pit, and then a small fire is lit on it.

It won't go out, but it's not too big, or it will burn the meat inside.

"It won't open until one and a half hours later." Yao Yan looked at Zeng Xingzhi who was standing beside him.

Zeng Xingzhi nodded, turned around and washed his hands.

Dahei squatted on Xiaohuo and watched. At first he was sitting, but then he lay down on his stomach. When the fragrance came out, Dahei leaned forward and was forced back by Zeng Xingzhi's warning eyes.

"It smells the fragrance," Yao Yan said with a smile.

Zeng Xingzhi nodded, the sky was getting dark at this time, and it was early summer, and there was a bamboo forest next to it, so there were naturally many mosquitoes. Fortunately, Zeng Xingzhi was a doctor, and there was mosquito repellent in the medicine house, and it was fine after lighting it Mosquitoes dare to come.

"Okay," Yao Yan said to Zeng Xingzhi after poking the black lump with his crutch.

Zeng Xingzhi frowned slightly looking at the black thing, "Are you sure you did this?"

"If I remember correctly, yes," Yao Yan said vaguely.

The more clearly this kind of thing is said, the harder it is to explain.

When Zeng Xingzhi was about to find something to break the mud open to see what was inside, Yao Yan offered his crutch, "My lord, use this, it's very useful."

Looking at the crutches in front of him, the corners of Zeng Xingzhi's mouth twitched slightly, but he still took it and knocked open the mud outside. The mud had been burned dry, and it fell to the ground without much effort, revealing the fragrant chicken inside.

The scent of the fragrant leaves had completely soaked into the chicken, and what surprised Zeng Xingzhi was that the fragrant leaves seemed to be cooked, and there was no burnt place.

Dahei's nose kept rising.He moved, turned around at Zeng Xingzhi's feet, and let out a low grunt.

"Don't worry," Yao Yan smiled and poked its buttocks with a cane, causing Dahei to turn around and rub against his legs.

Zeng Xingzhi peeled off the fragrant leaves, looked at the golden fragrant chicken, took a deep breath, and said with a smile, "fragrant."

Yao Yan handed over the bowl and chopsticks, "My lord, let's eat."

Such a fat chicken, Yao Yan ate a chicken leg and some chicken breast, and after eating half a bowl of rice, his stomach became round.

The remaining one, Zeng Xing, ate two-thirds of it, and in the end only the head and the bones with some meat remained, which was dealt with by Dahei with a click.

Yao Yan was originally worried that the chicken bones would hurt Dahei, but he didn't want Dahei's sharp teeth to be so strong that he almost chewed the bones to pieces!

"No wonder you can catch a rabbit, it's really amazing." Yao Yan patted Dahei's head, and looked at Zeng Xingzhi who was drinking tea with bright eyes, "My lord, where did Dahei get it from?" of?"

Zeng Xingzhi's whole body turned crisp when he heard the word "Young Master", he cleared his cough, drank a sip of tea and said, "I picked it up on the road, it stayed with me for three days, it was dying of hunger, but it didn't jump on me when I was eating snacks." , I waved to it, and it almost dragged itself over, looked obedient, and raised it."

At this time, Dahei was hugging the chicken's neck with his two front legs and chewing sweetly.

"Fate," Yao Yan sighed.

Looking at the chubby Dahei now, I think Zeng Xingzhi's skills in raising dogs are also good.

"Indeed," Zeng Xingzhi held the teacup and glanced at Yao Yan who was teasing Dahei.

Yao Yan's injury was not healed, he drank the medicine, took a bath, and went back to his room to rest, while Zeng Xingzhi was still in the medicine hut for medical treatment.

Early the next morning, Yao Yan was awakened by a knock on the door.

"Doctor Zeng! Doctor Zeng! I'm from the Liu family by the big locust tree. Something happened to my girl, my girl!"

The sound of the man crying anxiously sounded outside the yard.

As soon as Yao Yan put on his shoes, he heard the courtyard door being opened, followed by Zeng Xingzhi's cold voice, "Bring it in."

lift?

Yao Yan's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, the Liu family under the big locust tree has only one daughter, what happened now, they need to be carried into the house?

After he tidied himself up, he opened the door and saw Hanzi Liu standing outside the medicine hut wiping his tears, while Aunt Liu was inside, also crying, "I'm just such a daughter, if something happens to her, what will happen to me?" live!"

Liu Hanzi repeatedly said, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault."

After turning around and seeing Yao Yan, Liu Hanzi hurriedly turned around again, wiped away his tears, and walked back and forth in front of the medicine hut.

Zeng Xingzhi took the pulse of the unconscious girl on the bamboo bed, lifted her eyelids to look at her, and said to Aunt Liu, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying, "It's because I was too emotional, and I haven't eaten for a long time, so Pass out, eat something, and comfort yourself, and you'll be fine."

Aunt Liu and Liu Hanzi at the gate of the medicine hut breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Zeng Xingzhi's words. After Aunt Liu had arranged Miss Liu's clothes, Zeng Xingzhi opened the half-closed bamboo door, and Liu Hanzi walked in quickly. , was glared at by Aunt Liu.

"It's all your fault! If you hadn't insisted on asking Xing'er to recruit a husband, how could she be so stubborn!"

Zeng Xingzhi came out when Liu Hanzi went in. He looked at Yao Yan who was standing by the pool washing his hands, "Eat pickled vegetable pancakes with porridge in the morning?"

Yao Yan turned around and smiled, "Okay."

Zeng Xingzhi also hooked his lips.

While Yao Yan was kneading the dough, Hanzi Liu came to Zeng Xingzhi and whispered, "Doctor Zeng, Xing'er doesn't eat or drink when she's at home. I'm afraid she won't eat after waking up, so she won't be alive." Are you starving?"

"This is a heart disease," Zeng Xingzhi shook his head. "The heart disease has not been cured, and there is nothing I can do. Uncle Liu, is there anything we can't discuss? I think Miss Liu will be fine if she continues like this."

Liu Hanzi's eye circles turned red again, and he glanced at Yao Yan, Yao Yan quickly lowered his head and kneaded the dough very seriously, as if he was deaf, and he was a deaf person who only had dough in his eyes.

Seeing this, Zeng Xingzhi said, "He is not a talkative person."

"That's not what it means," Liu Hanzi quickly waved his hands, he looked at Yao Yan and sighed, "I just think of Yao Yan's father, my mother-in-law and I are just such a daughter, holding it in my hand for fear of falling, holding it in my mouth for fear of melting, she I have never been beaten since I was a child, but that day I said that I would choose a door-to-door husband for her, but she insisted on not agreeing. Under the fierce words, I, I couldn't hold back, and gave her a slap, and then..."

Afterwards, Liu Xing locked herself in the boudoir, not saying a word, not eating or drinking, this morning Aunt Liu felt that she was in a state of anxiety, so she went to Liu Xing's door to call her, but there was no sound at all. , Liu Hanzi knocked open the door in a hurry, but saw Liu Xing unconscious in bed covered in cold sweat, so he went to Zeng Xingzhi.

This is a family matter after all, Zeng Xingzhi and Yao Yan are inconvenient to give any advice, but Zeng Xingzhi thinks he can give it a try, "Yao Yan's craftsmanship is very good, you might as well try it when Miss Liu wakes up."

Liu Hanzi was naturally very grateful, but he didn't expect that Yao Yan, who had such a bad reputation, could cook, and he did a pretty good job after hearing what Dr. Zeng said.

When she returned to the medicine hut, Liu Xing'er had already woken up. She was talking to Aunt Liu in a low voice.

Seeing this, Liu Hanzi hurriedly said, "Xing'er, dad is also doing it for your own good, then Chen San is not a good person! He has a blind mother on top of him, and a three-year-old baby on him, you are a big girl with yellow flowers It will be difficult for you to be a stepmother when you get married! It's better to choose someone..."

Liu Xing'er directly covered her ears.

Aunt Liu felt very distressed, so she could only wink at Hanzi Liu, "What are you talking about at this time? Myolie, since you're awake, let's go home."

Liu Xing'er didn't move, Liu Hanzi said again, "Don't worry, Doctor Zeng said let Xing'er go back after breakfast."

While talking, Mr. Liu was also winking at Aunt Liu. My daughter hadn't eaten for several days. If I'm afraid she still won't eat when I go home, it's better to ask Dr. Zeng to come forward.

In the kitchen, Yao Yan was already baking pancakes, and Zeng Xingzhi stood aside to watch, "I've baked pancakes too, but the thickness is always different, and..."

Zeng Xingzhi frowned, "It's always muddled."

Yao Yan suppressed a smile, and while sticking the dough into the pot, he explained, "You must be fast, and you must control the heat, too big or too small, and the pancakes, after the skin dries You have to turn it over quickly so that it doesn’t get mushy, but you don’t have to worry about eating in the future, you have me.”

Zeng Xingzhi looked at the pancakes, which were about the same size and smelling fragrant, and responded in a low voice.

There are chopped pickles in the pancake and enough sesame oil. When it was put into a bowl, Zeng Xingzhi couldn't resist eating a slice, "fragrant and soft."

The combination of pickles and white noodles is just right.

"As long as the son likes it."

Yao Yan had a lot of reputation in the village, and it was still inconvenient for a lecherous person to appear in front of Liu Xing'er. In addition to the defense between men and women, Zeng Xingzhi handed the porridge and pickled vegetable pancakes to Liu Hanzi, and then Aunt Liu put them in. In front of Liu Xing'er.

"Xing'er, for your mother's sake, you should eat something anyway," Aunt Liu choked up and persuaded, "You are my mother's fate, don't tell me you don't even care about your mother for a man?"

"No, mother..."

Liu Xing'er hastily grabbed Aunt Liu's clothes, raised her eyes full of tears, "I have been engaged to Third Brother Chen since we were young, if it hadn't been for something that happened later..."

She wiped away her tears, "Now, it's hard for us to stay together, but my father doesn't agree, my daughter really feels uncomfortable."

"Then you can't take your life to get angry with your father." Aunt Liu pushed the porridge bowl in front of Liu Xing'er, "If something happens to you, your father and I will not be able to survive."

"I eat, I eat."

Liu Xing'er took a deep breath, picked up the porridge bowl and took a sip, Aunt Liu quickly handed over a piece of pickled vegetable cake, Liu Xing'er couldn't stop after eating two mouthfuls.

There are four pickled vegetable pancakes in total, all eaten.

Looking at the bare plate and the happy faces of the Liu family couple, Yao Yan and Zeng Xingzhi looked at each other, Yao Yan said, "There is no secret recipe, just my pickled vegetables with milk and pancakes baked with white flour."

Liu Xing'er was much calmer when she left, and when Aunt Liu went to Yao's house to beg a small jar of pickles from Grandma Yao on the way home, she was surprised to learn that Yao Yan made the breakfast from Liu Hanzi, " Yao Yan did it?"

Yao Yan, who can't move a knife when he sees a girl, is either playing tricks or peeping at the girl's house, how can he make such delicious pancakes?

"I heard that the child has changed a lot now, Dr. Zeng is willing to keep him to help, it seems to be true." Aunt Liu nodded.

Liu Xing'er didn't believe it, she had personally seen Yao Yan sneaking up on someone's wall to peek at other girls.

But when I got home, when Aunt Liu baked pancakes with pickles given by Grandma Yao at noon, they were not as soft and delicious as those made by Yao Yan.

"My lord, this medicine looks like a worm."

Yao Yan held up a long thing with a thick wrist to Zeng Xingdao who was reading a book.
