little son-in-law

It was cloudy and rainy for days, the first three or four days were downpours, and the next few days were continuous drizzles, and it didn't look like it was going to be sunny. Mo Nanjin was ordered not to get out of bed for a few days. After being in bed for seven or eight days, he felt that he could grow mushrooms directly by sprinkling some water. In fact, most of the illness has been cured, but it may have really frightened them. According to them later, he fell into a coma Two nights and one day.

The rain has finally cleared these few days, and he can also get out of bed for a walk. In fact, when he woke up that day, he felt that the heaviness of the past few days had disappeared a lot.

Xiao Mo and Ming Ting have been in the field for the past few days. The torrential rain has accumulated water in the field. Although the drainage canal is still well built, but it has been raining a lot these days. The field has accumulated water. If you don’t hurry If the water is drained, the crops and vegetables in the field will suffer from root rot, and it will be difficult to recover at that time.

Having nothing to do, Mo Nanjin casually took a book from the bookshelf and sat down on the small couch by the window. The front and rear windows were opened for ventilation, and the fragrance of earth and lotus in the air made him unable to take a deep breath. The turbid air that had been suffocating in the chest also dissipated a lot. The plantains under the front window were bright green, as if they had been waxed.

The three children followed Mingyue to pick mushrooms in the backyard. After the rain, clumps of white mushrooms would appear under the corner of the backyard. Although they didn’t know each other, they had tried it with chickens a few years ago. They were not poisonous, but they tasted delicious very.

"Daddy, there are a lot of mushrooms!" Xingzhi saw his father sitting under the window, shaking the mushrooms in his little hands, his bright black eyes were full of uncontrollable joy.

Mo Nanjin nodded and smiled to show that she saw it.

"Aunt Yue, look at this tree has a lot of fungus." Jing Zhi squatted down under a lying tree, the decayed trunk was densely covered with black fungus.Mo Nanjin remembered that it was an old elm tree by the canal a few years ago, most of which died, and it was cut down and kept in the backyard.

"It's really fungus, there are so many." Mingyue was also so surprised that she lifted her skirt, squatted down and picked it up.

"Daddy, look, our own fungus." Jing Zhi ran over a few steps, tiptoed on the window sill, and held up the fungus in his hand to show Dad. There was a pear tree with a low branch under the rear window Standing on the window sill, Jing Zhi stretched out his head and his hair was caught by a branch.

Mo Nanjin put down the book in his hand and smiled helplessly, removed the branch that caught his hair, and carried the child in directly from the window sill.

"Daddy, have you recovered from your illness?" My mother said that my father was sick these days, so I couldn't sleep with my father anymore, and they all slept with my mother these days.

"It will be ready soon." Mo Nanjin smiled, took off the ribbon on Jing Zhi's head and tied it again, and patted his little head to indicate that it was ready after a while.The workmanship is not bad. I think when he was a child, his father would pester him on a whim to help him tie his headband, but the result was that every time, a strand fell off and scattered on the right, which made him stare blankly. Wanting to cry but no tears, the father and king can't help but lie aside, contented.

Jing Zhi shook his head, feeling that the binding was firm, raised his head, and looked at his father expectantly, "Daddy, can we go back to sleep tonight?" Mo Nanjin couldn't help pinching her tender cheeks twice , smiled and said: "What's the matter, didn't you sleep well at Mother's place?"

"We miss Daddy." Jing Zhi blinked his eyes with an innocent look on his face.

"Naughty ghost! Well, come back to sleep tonight." In fact, he also knew that these two children had been with him since they were young, and if they changed their place at first, they would definitely not be able to sleep well.Originally, he thought that he would not be able to sleep well if these two little ghosts were not around, but these days he always fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow. It looks like he is dreaming.

"Although the sky is sunny, it's still damp. If you want to sleep, you need an extra blanket." As soon as Nangong Jingshen entered the door, she saw Mo Nanjin leaning on the couch by the back window, drowsy, and put the bed aside. He brought the blanket he was wearing to cover him.An imperceptible smile flashed across his eyes.

"Thank you." Mo Nanjin smiled apologetically, and rubbed his forehead. He has been sleeping for the past few days, why do he still want to sleep?

"Why do you read such a book?" Nangong Jingshen took the book from Mo Nanjin's hand naturally, flipped through it casually, and raised her eyebrows in a funny way. Most of the books like "Textual Research" were compiled by the so-called great Confucians in this dynasty. He heard that there were quite a few scholars who took the imperial examination, but he didn't know when Rong Jin became interested in it.

"It was left by the previous owner of this house." Many of the books in this room were left by Tian Cheng, and most of them were those who took the imperial examination. To be honest, he was really not interested.Just now I just randomly picked out a book, and didn't turn a few pages.

"Rong Jin?" The warm sunlight seeped into the room from the branches of the tree, the desk was mottled, and the wind gently flipped the pages of the book.

"En?" Mo Nanjin looked at him suspiciously, why is there no more text?

"Rong Jin?"

"kindness."

The crisp laughter of the children in the yard came from the wind, Mo Nanjin turned to look outside the window at the laughing little ghosts, Mingyue was beside her with one hand on her waist and the other hand holding the hem of her skirt, she didn't know what she was talking about , with a doting smile unconsciously on his face.

The serene smile was shining brilliantly in the sunlight, and Nangong Jingshen's slender fingers slowly traced his outline in the air.Rong Jin didn't expect that after going through so many things, there would be a day when we could sit together and chat quietly like this, thinking of these things, the smile in his eyes gradually deepened.

Today is July [-]th, the market day on the tenth day of the fifth lunar month in Nanshan Town, and the annual Hungry Ghost Festival. Mingyue said that the seasonings at home are not complete these days, and it happened that Mo Nanjin wanted to go out for a walk, so she proposed Go to the seasoning shop on the street and buy some by yourself. The three little ghosts also clamored to go there. Yuyang was afraid that there would be too many people on the street today, and Mo Nanjin couldn’t take care of him. Besides, Yunzhi was too young, so he stayed. But how could the little girl be so easy to deal with?Fortunately, Mo Nanjin promised to bring her ripe pear cake back, so she comforted her.But in the end, I didn't expect Nangong Jingshen to go together.

Because it coincides with the Hungry Ghost Festival, the custom of Ningguo is to offer sacrifices to ancestors and deceased family members today, and many people will purchase some memorial items today, so today's market is particularly lively.The stalls of chicken, duck and fish eggs are almost packed, and there are many people selling lotus lanterns. Tonight, many people will go to the Shilixue River to release lotus lanterns. It is said that this can guide the dead to find their way back. , successfully reincarnated.

"Brother Jin, this way!" Dr. Yun was eating at a stall on the side of the road, and he saw Mo Nanjin from a long distance away. After all, there are two eye-catching people walking together, so it's impossible for people not to pay attention. Seeing them coming this way, they stood up and greeted them.

"Brother Jin, you are feeling better. You look good today."

"Thank you, Dr. Yun, that day. I heard from them that it was really troublesome for you to invite Dr. Yun here in the middle of the night."

"No trouble, no trouble, getting well is better than anything else." Dr. Yun stroked his gray beard, smiled kindly and peacefully, and didn't mind trouble at all. Afterwards, when he came back from Mo's house, there were people who were all over the place. He was given an ingot of Wenyin, which was a full ten taels. Usually, when he went to Yun's house for a consultation, it was fifty Wen for the consultation fee. As for going to other places, it was relatively cheaper.

"The glutinous rice fruit here is very authentic. It is an old handicraft for many years. Brother Jin, do you want to try it too?"

This is a stall owned by a couple. They would come here every time they go to the market. Two years ago, there was an old man who came with him. In recent years, the old man is too old to go to the market. Only this couple leads the stall. With two girls in their teens, Mo Nanjin had brought the children to eat before, and the taste was really good.

"It's rare for you to come here, why don't you come and taste the snacks here?" Mo Nanjin looked at Nangong behind him and asked quietly.

"Alright."

"Boss, here are two big bowls and two small bowls."

The proprietress agreed, and wiped the table in front of them again with a rag.

Nangong took a deep look at the stall, it wasn't that big, there were only four or five tables, and an unrecognizable man was constantly flipping the cooked glutinous rice on the iron table back and forth by the stove, despite the weather It wasn't very hot, but the man was already sweating profusely, and he had to pick up the towel around his neck to wipe it off from time to time.The rich rice fragrance gradually wafts out.

When the four bowls were served, Mo Nanjin gave the money to the proprietress, four Wen for the big bowl and two Wen for the small bowl, which was quite affordable.

Each glutinous rice fruit is the size of an egg, and the outside has been fried until golden yellow, lying in the thick soup. Nangong Jingshen stirred it twice with a spoon, and found that there were vegetables, pigeon eggs, meat, and some seasonings inside. The ingredients are ready, and a little yellow pickle diced and green coriander are sprinkled on top.

"Uncle Jing, it's really delicious. There's meat in it." Xingzhi looked up at Uncle Jing, who just stared at the bowl, not intending to eat, "I'm giving this to Uncle Jing." He raised his little arm He brought the glutinous rice dumpling that he had already bitten to Nangong Jingshen's lips.

"Xingzhi, don't mess around." Mo Nanjin glanced at the glutinous rice fruit with a funny face, and there were small tooth marks on it, and the saliva was probably indispensable.

Nangong Jingshen didn't hesitate, just touched Xingzhi's hand, and ate it in one bite, and finally patted Xingzhi's head with a gentle smile, "It's really delicious."

"Brother Jin, this young master has hit it off with Jing Zhi Xingzhi. Relatives of your family?" Dr. Yun looked at the three people who were together happily, like a family, but it looks like the three of them look real Somewhat similar, especially the silhouette.

"Yuanfang...brother." Mo Nanjin didn't expect these three people to get acquainted so quickly.Aside from Nangong Jingshen's cold temper, even though Jing Zhi Xingzhi is well-behaved and sensible, he is not a child who can get along with others so quickly. Maybe this is...nature?

"No wonder." Doctor Yun shook his head and sighed, no wonder they look alike.

The glutinous rice fruit is charred on the outside and tender on the inside. Take a bite, and there is a rich and fragrant gravy inside. It is not greasy at all when eaten with the soup. I always want to ask someone to have another bowl.

It was still early, and the group of four didn't mind taking a longer walk. Mo Nanjin never knew that Nangong Jingshen could spoil children so much. She was so responsive to requests that she offered to provide them. She bought chicken shreds along the way. Ham siu mai, spring rolls with sauce belly, crabapple crisps, colorful dumplings, steamed fresh meat dumplings, if Mo Nanjin hadn't stopped them later, they would probably have bought all the snacks on the street.

The most complete seasoning and sauce shop in the town is Tian Ji, that's right, it is Tian Ji opened by Tian Fang's family. Mo Nanjin didn't feel that he had to make trouble with his family's dining table because of that little grievance. It's outside the door, don't you still dare to come to the door?

Now that I came here once, Mo Nanzhen decided to buy more, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, sesame paste, cooking wine, pepper, tangerine peel, aniseed, cinnamon, fennel, and cardamom. The happy buddy ran back and forth diligently, one bite at a time The young master shouted that joyously.The last thing I will not forget is to order a small jar of tofu sauce. The main ingredients are chili powder and tofu. The final tofu sauce is osmanthus yellow. It smells a little bit of stinky tofu at first glance, but it tastes different. Spicy aroma.It can be said to be one of the signatures of this Tianji sauce shop.

The trip went smoothly, but when he was about to go out, he ran into Tian Fang who came to the shop. Mo Nanjin often thought, this Tian Fang is a really cute person. Every time he sees him, he always uses his nose and eyes first. Say hello, snort, and add a big white eye.In fact, every time Mo Nanjin wanted to laugh, he was afraid that he would really offend him, and he would be in constant trouble in the future.

This time, Tian Fang wanted to practice once as usual, but before he even started, he felt a scrutinizing gaze, and when he looked up, he saw a handsome young man standing beside Mo Nanjin. He was not very old, but he just had a kind of The aura that surpassed everyone forced him to suppress the words that had come to his lips.

Shen Zichu at the back greeted Mo Nanjin with a smile on his face as usual. After several people turned around, his brows immediately frowned. He felt that the army stationed outside the town must have something to do with this person. He inadvertently The aura shown can never deceive people.

On the way back, I bought some eggplants, tofu, mung bean sprouts and so on. Mo Nanjin and Nangong Jingshen already had full hands, and Jing Zhi and Xing Zhixiao also carried a few lighter seasoning packets in their hands.

Of course, I haven’t forgotten the cooked pear cake promised to Yunzhi. The recipe of cooked pear cake is also simple. The rice skin that has been prepared in advance is wrapped with pear strips, steamed in a pan, and rolled on the glutinous rice flour after it is out of the pan.If you want to take it away, put it in a small box made of reed leaves. In fact, it is ripe pear cake, but there are more than one fillings, such as cherry, apple, apricot, plum and so on. , Yunzhi prefers pear flavor.

It was almost noon, and after buying the things they needed, the four of them were ready to go home. The warm sunshine and the noisy market gave them a kind of serenity in this world.

The wind stopped and the rain stopped, and the weather was fine.
