little son-in-law

The morning of the second day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

I thought that recalling the past last night would make him sleepless all night, but I don’t know if it’s been a long time, he can really calm down or his nerves have become so rough that he went back to the room and fell asleep until he woke up. It was already bright, and the autumn sun shone through the lattice windows, and there were clusters of small shadows on the ground.

"Daddy, are you awake?" Xingzhi raised his head from his chest, and Mo Nanjin said in his heart that it was no wonder his chest felt tight since he woke up just now. It turned out that the little guy was lying on top of him, with his head still pressing on him on the chest.

"Wake up, if you don't wake up, I will be crushed to death by you." Mo Nanjin touched his head with a smile, put his hands under his armpit to hug him, and put him between his legs. Sit up on the bed.

"I said you crushed Daddy, little fat man." Jing Zhi rubbed his eyes and got up from the inside of Mo Nanjin in a daze.

"Daddy, it's my brother who didn't snatch it, and also called me a little fat man." Xingzhi also pouted and complained.

Mo Nanjin touched the five deep pits neatly arranged on the back of his chubby paws, and sighed, "It's really a bit fat."

"Daddy..." It was Mo Nanjin's neck that refused to obey and shouted.

"Haha..." It was Jing Zhi who took the opportunity to sneak into his father's arms and laughed.

"Pfft... Now that we got up together, the father and son will be in a mess?" It was Yuyang who came in from the outside with water, and couldn't help joking when he saw the three hugged together.

"Yuyang, why is it you today? What about Xiao Mo and the others?" Seeing this, Mo Nanjin smiled and pulled the two little ones off her body, brushed her hair, and got off the bed.

"They went to the field after breakfast and came to see you a few times, but they didn't call you when they saw you were in a deep sleep." Yuyang put down the water basin.Wrung a hot towel and handed it to him.

"It seems that they have really fallen asleep. They didn't feel at all." Mo Nanjin smiled and took the towel. No wonder when he woke up, he saw that the two little ones were all fully dressed. He felt that he had breakfast and came back to accompany him. Then he came back to sleep.

"You wash up first, I'll ask Mingyue to warm up your breakfast." Yuyang said.

"No, I'll just go out and eat something. I'll stop by the fish pond to have a look later. Old Li Shu asked someone to come over two days ago and said that some fish are about to come out of the pond. Let me go and have a look." Mo Nanjin replied road.

"Alright." Yuyang nodded in response.

"Bring Yunzhi over later, I'll take the three little ones out for a walk today." Mo Nanjin said again after washing her hair with the wooden hairpin.

Yuyang responded, and took the water basin out by the way.

The sky in autumn is blue, clean without a trace of cloud, the sun is already high, but fortunately, the stalls on the street have not been closed yet.Mo Nanjin chose a juanhong teahouse that he often goes to, and there are two sheds outside. At this time, there are not many people having breakfast, only a few old people gather together to bask in the sun while smoking dry tobacco.

Mo Nanjin went to say hello one by one.

Mo Nanjin ordered two burritos and a bowl of tofu for herself.Each of the three small ones has a tea egg and a small bowl of bean curd.Juanhong washed her hands again in the basin next to her, picked up a few shallots and chopped them up, set fire to the pan, poured oil, put chopped green onions in, beat two eggs in and stir-fried together, when the aroma of the eggs came out, she added another Spoon diced bacon.From the steaming pan on the side, take out two steamed cakes, spread them on the chopping board, add the diced eggs and minced meat on the cakes, wrap the four corners well, and put them on a celadon plate.Scooped three tea eggs from another pot and peeled them, and added a dish of shredded pickles in spicy oil.

Qi Hong also took the bean curd brains of several people out of it.

"Brother Jin, why are you only having breakfast now?" An old man next to him knocked on a cigarette pot and asked with a smile.

"I drank too much during the Mid-Autumn Festival last night." Mo Nanjin replied with a smile while dividing three tea eggs into small plates in front of the three little ones.

"It's good to be a young man after all, we old guys can't drink anymore." Several old people next to them laughed together.Mo Nanjin knew that these old people were just teasing him with nothing to do, and they didn't take it seriously, so they chatted with him for a few words.

"Daddy, pancakes." Yun Zhi looked at the tea eggs in his hand, then at daddy's pancakes, licked his little finger and said.

"Yun Zhi, Daddy said you can't put your fingers in your mouth, or you will get worms in your stomach." Mo Nanjin hugged her and wiped her fingers clean.

"En, Chongchong." Yunzhi blinked his eyes, expressing that he understood.

"Good boy, Daddy will give you cakes." Mo Nanjin picked out the eggs and diced meat from the cakes with chopsticks and fed them to her.

Seeing the other two blinking and pretending to be pitiful, he finally couldn't help laughing, and tore two more pieces for them.The three younger ones had already had breakfast, and Mo Nanjin didn't dare to feed them too much for fear of breaking their stomachs.

Seeing this, several old people nearby chatted again.

"Jan Hong, Qi Hong, you two future husbands and sons-in-law, it would be nice to have half of this Mo family brother. He is handsome, good-natured, and capable. It is really useless to still love the child so much." picked."

The younger sister Qi Hong took a peek at Mo Nanjin who was smiling brightly, her face turned red, and then she spoke a little shyly: "Grandpa Li, you will make fun of us. We don't dare to think about Brother Mo like this." When Nan Jin first came to Nanshan Town, she only brought two attendants and children with her. At that time, seeing this person's appearance and character, any of the big girls in Nanshan Town who had not left the cabinet went to Mo's house intentionally or unintentionally. , After saying a few words, you can have fun for a long time when you go home, and some people come to propose marriage directly. This kind of thing continued until Brother Mo's lost wife came to find him.After all, Nanshan Town is such a small place, no matter how much you like it, you can't put yourself on the body of a man with a family. If you do that, you won't be gossiped and scolded by the villagers behind your back.

The steamed cakes are soft and chewy, the diced eggs are fried and eaten hot, and a bowl of white and tender tofu nao is really a simple and affordable breakfast.

It's already August, and the best time for lotus blooming has passed, but the best month for lotus blooming is also the busy season of farming, so I don't care about the elegance of lotus viewing, but fortunately At this time, although the lotus blooms are not dense and prosperous, they are sparse and graceful, which is not interesting. The leaves are green, and some have slightly withered curly edges. Yes, not far away is my own mulberry field, and further away is the green crops, without shelter, with a wide field of vision, and the deep and light green spreads to the horizon, which seems to be connected with the blue sky.

Mo Nanjin breathed a long sigh of relief and stretched. The three little ones followed suit, stretching their arms and kicking their short legs, which made Mo Nanjin smile.

Tian Dazhuang was raising ducks on the grass under the mulberry tree. When he saw Mo Nanjin and the others, he wanted to come over. Mo Nanjin waved his hand to signal him not to come, and led the three little ones through a reed field to the edge of the pond. Supported by wood, in a small shack built in the air.Mo Nanjin hugged Yunzhi, Jingzhi and Xingzhi followed behind, stepped on the wooden stairs that only one person could pass through, and entered the small shack. There was no one in it. The bedding was laid, there were two small horses, and a few wild ginger flowers and lilies were planted in rough pottery pots by the sunny window, which should have been manipulated by Susu again.

"Father, look where Grandpa Li is." The child's eyes were good, and he saw the old man in coarse clothes not far away in the reeds.

"Boss, young master, you are all here." Old Uncle Li also looked over upon hearing this.

After several people came down, Old Uncle Li came over with a cracked enamel bowl, which contained half a bowl of fresh earthworms.

"Daddy, I'm afraid, Chongchong." Yunzhi was held in Mo Nanjin's arms, and when he lowered his head and saw this, his face turned pale with fright, and he covered his eyes and retracted into Mo Nanjin's arms.

"Oh, look at this, it scares the little lady..." Old Uncle Li hurriedly put the enamel bowl away, and rubbed his hands helplessly while shrinking his neck.

"Yunzhi, be good, these bugs don't bite, don't be afraid of Yunzhi." Mo Nanjin patted him on the back lightly, coaxing him.

"Really? Daddy." Yun Zhi boldly raised his head from Mo Nanjin's arms.

"Sister, it's true. Daddy won't lie. Daddy told us before that this is an earthworm. It burrows in the soil, and the soil becomes soft." Jing Zhi said loudly at Mo Nanjin's feet road.

When Mo Nanjin taught them how to read, he would do some drawings and let them know some animals and plants while learning how to read. These two children are also smart, and they can learn it as soon as they learn it, but he lacked a lot of effort.

"Really? Daddy?" Jing Zhi asked at the corner of Mo Nanjin's clothes.

"Well, what Jing Zhi said is quite right," Mo Nanjin didn't hesitate to praise him, and patted his head.

While talking, Tian Dazhuang and Li Susu brought the tea over.

Yunzhi's attention was quickly attracted by the cooked water chestnut brought by Susu.

Mo Nanjin took this opportunity to make an agreement with Old Uncle Li on the approximate number and time of the pond to be released this time.

Last time, Mo Nanjin accidentally mentioned that it is a very pleasant thing to paddle a small boat and fish in the lotus field. He said it was unintentional, but it sounded intentional. There is a fishing rod with a long white fishing line underneath, a hook made of a sewing needle, and a float made of golden straw.

"I made it last year, and it didn't come in handy. I just remembered it last time I heard my boss talk about fishing. The pole and line are still very strong. My boss might as well give it a try." Old Uncle Li said and poured out the half bowl The earthworms were cut into several pieces with scissors and handed over.

When Yunzhi saw the half bowl of earthworms, although he believed that it would not bite, he was too scared to get on the boat. It happened that Mo Nanjin was also worried about walking among the lotus leaves. Tuo Susu watched, Susu got married and had no children in the past few years, and saw that the children were very close, so she agreed and coaxed Yunzhi to peel water chestnuts to eat.

On the contrary, when Jing Zhi and Xing Zhi heard that they were going to go fishing, they cheered and rushed to the small wooden boat parked in the reed swing.

"Father, what's the point of fishing? If you want to eat fish, you can catch as much with one net as you can with one pole." Tian Dazhuang looked puzzled at the father and son who had gone away.

"What do you understand, you can understand the thoughts of other scholars? Just do whatever the boss says, and we must be right by listening to the boss." Old Uncle Li knocked on his head with a cigarette pouch.

"I see, Dad, didn't I just ask?" Tian Dazhuang smiled innocently, got up from the ground, patted the dirt on his buttocks and said: "Then Dad, I went over there to watch the ducks."

Here, the father and son had already boarded the boat, and Mo Nanjin told them not to move around on the boat, propped up a long haggard reed, and rowed into the lotus field.Mo Nanjin could still show her head, but the two little ones could only walk under the lotus leaves.

Mo Nanjin found a place with clearer water and stopped, put earthworms on the hook and threw them into the water.

When the fish took the bait, Mo Nanjin picked some lotus pods nearby and threw them into the cabin.

The two little guys couldn't wait to peel off the green outer skin, and before Mo Nanjin could stop them, they took out the lotus seeds inside and put them in their mouths. After chewing a mouthful, they quickly spat it out, bitterly A small face looked at his father who was smiling happily.

"Don't be in a hurry." Mo Nanjin peeled off another lotus pod with a smile, and said, "See, you have to take out the green lotus seed heart and eat it so that it doesn't taste bitter." Actually, it's not bad for you to clear away the heat , lotus seed heart is also a good thing.Mo Nanjin thought to himself.

The mouthful of fresh lotus seeds is full of sweetness.In fact, even if it is eaten with lotus seed heart, it is just a touch of bitterness.

The two little guys learned it, and the two of them peeled and ate happily on the side. Occasionally, they could think of the old man on the side, and came over to honor the two.

Mo Nanjin teased the two little guys, moving the pole from time to time, and suddenly saw a float bobbing up and down violently, and resolutely pulled up the thread, the thread was stretched straight, presumably it must be a big guy.Jing Zhi and Xing Zhi stopped peeling the lotus seeds, and just lay on the side of the boat and watched.

"You two go into the boat and be careful not to fall into the water." Mo Nanjin turned around and motioned for them to sit down at the bottom of the boat. The hand holding the fishing line did not relax. After struggling a few times, Mo Nanjin Pulled up, it was a grass carp weighing four to five catties.Mo Nanjin unhooked the hook, and still put it in the fish basket that was brought temporarily.

Later, four or five smaller ones were caught one after another.But they all weighed more than three catties.

The lotus pods are also drawn while picking.The wooden boat was small in the first place, half of the bottom of the boat was halfway down the road.

"Daddy, what do you think is that? The flowering one?" Xingzhi shouted suddenly.

Mo Nanjin looked in the direction he pointed, and there were clusters of purple water chestnut flowers blooming on the water. When the boat approached, he found a green square water chestnut hidden among the green leaves with sharp thorns. Knock off the thorns, and then break it apart with force, revealing the white, tender and juicy water chestnut meat, which is very sweet when eaten raw.

Along the way, we picked chicken head rice and cut some chicken rice stems.

After finishing these, the sun is already in the middle of the day, and I have memorized the Yuefu poems I just taught the two little guys, and I recited them softly along the way: "You can pick lotus in the south of the Yangtze River, lotus leaves and He Tiantian..."

When they walked out of the reed marsh, the two little guys also picked up four or five duck eggs. This Coke spoiled them, and they didn't let go of them along the way.

Fish, lotus pods and so on left some for Uncle Li's house, and Tian Dazhuang found a flatbed truck to send the rest to Mo's house all the way.

Xiao Mo and Ming Ting had already returned from the field, and they were about to pick them up, so they met on the way, so it was easy, Ming Ting took over the car and let Tian Dazhuang go back first.

At noon, fried meat with water chestnut, fried black fungus with water chestnut, chicken head rice porridge, stewed pork ribs with chicken head rice, steamed fish, fried fish, stewed fish, fish balls, fish box, boiled water chestnut and chicken head rice.

No matter what happens tomorrow, you have to live well today, right?
