Little wealth

"Did I tell you that you are not allowed to sit on the ground, you have to sit on the stool?" Josh picked up the little boy, took him to sit on the stool, poured water for the child, and sat down, asking: " Do you know what's wrong?"

"Do you know why I punished you just now?"

"Hmm~" The little boy glanced left and right with his big eyes, looked at Ah Huang, and reached out to grab Ah Huang's ears.Ah Huang took a step forward and sent the ear to the little master's hand, so that the little master would be more happy to catch it.

Seeing this couple who were willing to fight and suffer, Josh's heart was bleeding.

"Remember next time, you are not allowed to hit Ah Huang with your little wooden sword, and you are not allowed to bully Ah Huang. If you continue to behave like this, I will tie Ah Huang to the tree to prevent Ah Huang from playing with you." This brat , it was simply spoiled by them to the point of lawlessness, relying on Ah Huang to follow him and bullying Ah Huang all day long.

"Yeah!" The little boy seemed to understand that Ah Huang couldn't be hit.

"Then you have to remember, don't do it again next time, you can hug Ah Huang and give Ah Huang something to eat, but you are not allowed to poke Ah Huang or beat Ah Huang, remember?" In fact, Josh knew The child probably just wants to play with the dog, but in his opinion, there are many ways to play with the dog, but such a way of playing that causes harm to the dog is absolutely not allowed.

He hopes that the child can understand that Ah Huang is not just a dog, but also a playmate who grew up with him. not going to be mad.

The life of a human is longer than that of a dog. The dog in their family is already seven or eight years old. It has already reached middle age, and its life has already reached half of it.But their child is only two years old, probably before he grows up, this dog may have come to the end of his life.

In the past, he didn't dare to keep pets himself. In addition to having no time to take care of them, there is also a very important point, that is, he knows that the life of cats and dogs is shorter than that of people.Once you have a pet, you have to be responsible for the pet, and you will definitely invest in it. But one day when the pet is about to leave you, he feels that he may not be able to accept that kind of separation, so he dare not go. This is probably the reason for keeping pets.

But now it is difficult for him to talk about this with a two-year-old child. He wants to wait until the child is a little older before talking about life to him.

Seeing the obedient child in front of him, Josh couldn't bear to be too harsh on the child, so he could only touch the child's head, "Okay, you can take Ah Huang to play." He was also ready to cook.

As soon as the pardon was received, Xiao Wa'er slid off the stool she was sitting on and ran away with Ah Huang.

Josh looked at the scolded brat, laughed and scolded the brat in his heart, and went into the kitchen to cook.The soup in the pot had already been boiled, and there was still a little fire left in the stove, so he didn't put any more firewood in it.

"It's time to cook, right? Let me set the fire for you." Seeing that it was time to cook, Zhao Amu came to the stove to help set the fire.

"Well, it's ready to cook." Josh agreed.

The fire for cooking must be high, and soft wood should be used for cooking. If a piece of firewood burns for a long time, it will be gone, so keep putting it in.In fact, he felt that it was okay for him to set the fire while cooking alone. There was no need for a person to set the fire alone, although if someone helped set the fire, he would cook faster.

But every day at this time when he was cooking, someone would come back to help him set the fire, sometimes it was their mother, sometimes it was Chen Yan.Presumably because Chen Yan was still working next door, his mother came back.

"Fuck-"

Put the oil in the hot pot. After the lard in the pot melts, he pours the garlic into it and sautes it until fragrant. The sixties inside have opened their mouths, and they are basically cooked.

Take out the cooked sixtieth, and the bottom soup is still in it, pour the wax gourd in and cook, continue to cover and cook for a few minutes.When the wax gourd is ripe, pour in the sixty-one that has just been cooked, add an appropriate amount of sugar and salt, continue to stir-fry a few times, put a handful of scallions on top, and then put it in a pot and out of the pot.

The next step is to fry the beans. After the pork belly is fragrant, put the beans in and fry.

When the frying is almost done, add an appropriate amount of salt and a few drops of soy sauce, stir fry evenly, and then you can take it out of the pan.

One thing to pay attention to when frying beans is that the beans inside must be cooked, otherwise the raw beans will be poisoned.Of course, Josh would not make such a low-level mistake, because there are children in the family, usually he cooks the dishes softly on purpose.

When the dishes on their side were fried, the people who worked next door also came back smelling the smell.

"I was thinking of calling you, so you came back, go wash your hands and come eat." Zhao Amu, who was about to go out, saw her two sons coming back with Chen's father and son, and shouted.

"Hey, just come. Brother, what dish did you cook today? It's so fragrant, we smelled it just now next door." Zhao Hu came back to wash his hands in the yard, splashed water on his face, and the water flowed down his face. The lines dripped down, onto the ground.

Just when Chen Yan came in, he saw this scene, and his eyes stayed on Zhao Hu's face for a moment before turning away, his face was a little reddish and uncomfortable.

Chen Tuhu came in after him. Seeing his brother standing still at the gate of the yard, he felt a little strange and asked, "Brother, why don't you go in?"

"Ah... oh." Chen Yan came back to his senses, and hurried inside.

Zhao He was the last one to come in. His eyes first looked in the direction of the kitchen, and then turned to the child.

Just when Josh came out of the kitchen, he heard this sentence, and replied: "Today's pork ribs soup with winter melon and barley, and stir-fried winter melon and beans." When he saw the oven, he remembered that there was still something in it. Added, "Oh, and crispbread."

"What kind of crispy pancake is it?" The one in the front knew what it was from the name, but Zhao Hu was a little curious about the crispy pancake in the back.

"It should be baked already, let's take it out and have a look." Josh walked towards the oven, the fire underneath had been extinguished, and the oven was still a little warm, and when the wooden door was opened, there was a smell of after-baking inside. The heat and the aroma of crispbread.

Fearing that the plate inside would be too hot, he used wooden clamps to clamp the plate out.

I saw that the crispy pancakes on the plate had turned golden yellow one by one, layer by layer, and even the black sesame seeds on top had burst.

The crispy pastry was a bit hot when he touched it with his hand. After trying several times, Josh still broke a crispy pastry into two halves. Seeing that the meat filling inside was already cooked, he handed half of it to his brother-in-law. "Come on, how about a taste."

"Wow~ it smells so good!" Zhao Hu stretched out his hand to take it, it was so hot that he couldn't bear to let go of it, he lowered his head and took a bite, instantly his mouth was full of crispy fragrance.The skin of this crispy crispy cake is fragrant and crispy, and when you bite into it, there is meat filling inside. The meat filling has a little fragrance and the smell of green onions. "It's really, really delicious!"

"Is it so delicious?" Josh was still a little dubious. He took a bite out of the remaining half of the cake, and couldn't help but nodded, "Well, it's really good." He likes it The sesame seeds on the outside, the roasted sesame seeds are very fragrant, of course the most important thing is that this crispy biscuit is delicious.

"Come and taste it too, it's delicious while it's hot." He brought the remaining crispy biscuits to the table and called other people to come over and eat the biscuits first.

"I want~"

As soon as he heard the son behind him calling for it, Josh pinched the leftover from eating just now, and fed the child a mouthful.Seeing that the child was about to reach out to get it, he didn't give it to the child, "If you don't take it, you haven't washed your hands yet. Hurry up and wash your hands before eating."

Before he could take the child to wash his hands, the child's father came over and took his son to wash his hands.

The two exchanged a look, and neither of them spoke, but everyone knew what the other was thinking.Looking at the man who took the child to wash his hands, Josh thought for a while, and a smile flashed on the corner of his mouth.

"Hey, this cake is delicious." Chen Tuhu also took a bite of a cake and couldn't help nodding. He likes the taste and texture, it's very delicious.

Chen Yan was also holding a crispy biscuit, which was still warm in his hand. He lowered his head and took a bite without saying a word, continuing to eat the second bite.This crispy biscuit is not big, you can eat one with a big bite, and eat a small bite, and one will be gone in two or three bites at most.

……

Before the sun set in the west, their family was preparing to have dinner. At this time, most people in the village started cooking.

"Everyone is coming to eat." When they brought out the soup and vegetables, Josh saw that half of the crispy biscuits on the plate had gone, so he couldn't help laughing.When he made it just now, he didn't make a lot of cakes. He counted the number of people's heads. There were two people per person, and there were only about ten cakes baked on one plate, which was just enough for each of them to share in two.

All that was left on the plate was their portion, someone must have eaten two.

But he didn't say anything. Originally, this cake was made for everyone to eat.

"Everyone, have some soup. This soup is made from wax gourd and barley. This weather is perfect for drinking." Josh served soup for everyone, and put a small bag around his son, letting the child drink the soup and eat winter melon with a spoon , he took a sip of the soup himself, and thought it was not bad, sweet and delicious.

"Hey, okay, let's come by ourselves." Butcher Chen hurriedly took the bowl.

"That's right, Brother Qiao, you can also sit down and eat, and leave us alone." Zhao Amu also said.

"Okay, drink more soup, there is still in the pot." He cooked a little more soup today, mainly because there are many people eating at home, so one person must be able to drink two bowls anyway.

Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Josh sat in his seat and ate.

Although today's dishes are very light, the taste is very sweet.

Stir-fried beans with pork belly. Stir-fried beans need oil to be delicious. The fried beans are shiny with oil. It is too fragrant to eat with pork belly.

The wax gourd fried in Huajia is soft and fragrant, and even the soup is sweet.

Zhao Hu and Chen Yan scooped a large spoonful of soup on top of the rice, and began to dig into the rice.

This time of eating every day is probably the most lively and happy time in their family.

A family eats around the table, during which some people can talk, but most of the time everyone eats with their heads down. The chopsticks in their hands keep picking up food on the table, and a bowl of rice is picked up, and someone else goes to fill it up , there are people queuing up for dinner at the back...
