Dressed as the uncle of farming culture

When it was almost time for dinner, Mrs. Xiao came back from Chen's house and talked about it.

"Anyway, this Li Xiucai is out of his mind," Xiao Le was playing with the stones, and seeing this scene, Second Brother Xiao felt blessed and immediately nodded accordingly.

"It is true that there is something wrong with the brain, fourth sister, you have to stay away from this kind of person, be careful not to bite you halfway, and say that he is a scholar, we have to pay money."

Brother Xiao was terrified.

Fourth Sister Xiao was terrified when she heard that, she was afraid that Second Brother Xiao would know that she had had such a relationship with the other party.

"I will definitely stay away from him!"

Mrs. Xiao was even more relieved when she heard the words, so she didn't say anything else for the time being. She praised the food cooked by Fourth Sister Xiao, which tasted better and better.

Fourth Sister Xiao was also very happy after being praised.

Turning his head and showing off to Xiao Le, "Look, I'm always better than you in something!"

Xiao Le rolled his eyes, "I'm afraid I forgot what I said before, if I cook a meal, no one at home will eat your cooking."

Mo Xiucai looked at him in surprise when he heard this, but he didn't expect Xiao Le to be able to cook.

"Then you do it at night!"

Fourth Sister Xiao said angrily.

"Then you listen to me for another year, and I will do it."

Xiao Le said.

The bet was a bit high, and Simei Xiao rolled her eyes, thinking that the other party was bluffing, and she must be afraid that she would bet, so she placed a big bet, so she slapped the table.

"Okay! Big brother, sister-in-law and second brother, Mo Cheng will testify!"

Yo, everyone at this table has been mentioned.

Xiao Le turned his head and asked Mo Xiucai, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

"I?"

Mo Xiucai was taken aback.

"Yes, you should call me Third Uncle anyway," Xiao Le looked at him with a smile, "Of course I have to take care of you."

"Yes, don't be polite to him!" Second Brother Xiao said with a smile.

"Whatever you want to eat, just say it," Brother Xiao also said.

"Speaking of which, I haven't eaten the food cooked by the third child yet," Mrs. Xiao said a little sourly, "This time it's your luck."

Mo Xiucai's ears were hot, and he said in a low voice, "Braised fish?"

"Small idea," Xiao Le looked at Sister-in-law Xiao anxiously again, "Sister-in-law, I have to ask you to buy this fish."

"No problem," Mrs. Xiao laughed, "It happens that Aunt Li's family still has some soybeans that need to be sold in the town. Why don't I buy them and add another dish to the family?"

"it is good!"

Xiao Le nodded.

Although he was going to cook in the evening, he still had to do the work in the afternoon. However, after the soybeans were bought and soaked, Xiao Le went to grind the tofu.

Simei Xiao followed behind him like a little tail, while beating his hands, she was watching how he did it and whether he would win her.

"Stealing a teacher?"

Seeing her staring straight at him, Xiao Le scolded with a smile.

"We're all in the same family, there's no such thing as stealing a teacher," Xiao Simei said confidently.

"You are the one who makes the most sense," Xiao Le shook his head helplessly, seeing this, Simei Xiao bit her lips and said.

"Third brother, in fact, there is no such bet, and I will listen to you."

"Really?" "Of course, you are my third brother," Xiao Simei said sincerely.

"Then go and wash my cloth shoes," Xiao Le ordered unceremoniously.

Fourth Sister Xiao's face twisted, "Third brother, my sister is for you to hurt, not for you to abuse."

"You just listen to me for everything you say just now," Xiao Le chuckled, and was lightly slapped a few times by the embarrassing Fourth Sister Xiao.

"It's alright, alright, don't beat the beans down," Xiao Le hurriedly begged for mercy, the two chatted and laughed, and quickly ground the soybeans, carrying the yellowish bean juice into the stove.

Mrs. Xiao bought fish from Liu's house in the south of the village. There is a small fish pond in their house. She eats it for herself on weekdays and occasionally sells it.

There were a lot of people in the family, and Mrs. Xiao was afraid that Xiao Le would not do it well, so she was going to do it herself, so one fish was not enough, so she bought three and took them home.

Each weighs more than two catties.

"This fish is too fat!"

Xiao Le was surprised, after all, pigs are raised for only a hundred catties a year in this day and age.

"The children of the Liu family have taken good care of them," Mrs. Xiao rolled up her sleeves, and quickly killed the fish to dispose of the internal organs.

All three fish were killed.

After the tofu came out, Xiao Le didn't make it into bean curd to eat, but waited for it to be a little old and let it cool directly. After it was formed, he used a knife to cut out a few pieces, and cut them into small square pieces on the palm of his hand.

"Third brother, do you want to mix and eat?"

Fourth Sister Xiao asked.

"Make mapo tofu," Xiao Le replied casually.

"What tofu?"

Fourth Sister Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then asked.

Only then did Xiao Le remember that this time and space does not seem to have this dish, he said again, "Go and pick some hemp beans."

"What do you pick that for?"

Fourth Sister Xiao looked disgusted.

"Go as soon as I tell you," Xiao Le raised the kitchen knife with a fierce look on his face, "Don't you just listen to me?"

"Go, go now!"

Fourth Sister Xiao ran to the back of the new woodshed, carefully avoiding the thorns, picked a lot of small green fruits, the closer to the tree, the more numb the smell.

After picking it up almost holding her breath, she quickly covered the hemp bean, rushed into the kitchen and placed it next to Xiao Le, "Come here, come here."

"It's missing," Xiao Le glanced at it, then pointed to the wooden bowl not far away, "Come back with half the bowl."

"what?"

Xiao Simei, who was about to wash off the smell from her hands, had a bitter face.

When Mo Xiucai came in and heard this, he smiled and said, "I'll go."

Fourth Sister Xiao hurriedly put the bowl beside Xiao Le, motioning for Mo Xiucai to pick it up.

"You're welcome," Xiao Le said to Fourth Sister Xiao after Mo Xiucai left.

"He wants to help, I have to help him," Fourth Sister Xiao coughed, "Second brother, what else can I help you with?"

"Marinate the fish, don't add too much salt," Xiao Le said.

This hemp bean is actually Zanthoxylum bungeanum. The Zanthoxylum bungeanum trees in this village can be said to grow in piles, and a lot of them were cut down for firewood, but there are still so many.

There are four or five pepper trees near Xiao's yard.

After soaking the diced tofu in light salt water, Xiao Le went to the vegetable garden to find something similar to chili peppers, chopped them finely, and asked Simei Xiao to light the fire and start cooking.

The fire was hot for a while, and Fourth Sister Xiao didn't see Xiao Le ordering the food, and she was in a hurry, "Third brother, if you don't serve the food, you will be burned!"

"I know," Xiao Le told her to shut up, "Go and steal the wine that Big Brother hid."

"what?"

Fourth Sister Xiao couldn't believe her ears.

"Hurry up! I'm waiting to use it!"

Xiao Le stared, Xiao Simei had no choice but to sneak into the place where Brother Xiao was hiding the wine. When she sneaked over, the fish had already entered the pot, and Xiao Le was eating Madou.

"Third brother! How can you eat that thing!"

Fourth Sister Xiao screamed.

Xiao Le took the small wine jar from her hand, and when half of the bowl came out, he put it directly into the pot.

"Third Brother..."

"Do not talk."

Then Fourth Sister Xiao watched helplessly as Xiao Le added various things to it, some of which had been seen and some of which hadn't, and she didn't know if it could be eaten.

She covered her heart, "Third brother, you don't have to fight so hard, I will treat you as a winner. Don't use things indiscriminately because you are afraid of losing, or you will die."

"What nonsense is it?"

Xiao Le turned over the fish, added another ladle of water, covered the wooden pot, and frowned.

"……nothing."

It's too late.

Fourth Sister Xiao sighed inwardly.

But when the fish was cooking, Fourth Sister Xiao smelled a strange fragrance.

She swallowed, and was pushed away by Xiao Le just as she leaned forward, "Don't drop your saliva into the fish."

"……I……"

Fourth Sister Xiao was so angry that she sat back down again.

Three fish filled three big bowls. Since there were no long plates, Xiao Le cut the fish in half. Although it was not beautiful, the taste was not bad.

Next, Simei Xiao saw that Xiao Le was still making tofu with hemp beans. The pungent smell made Simei Xiao cover her mouth and nose and ran out of the kitchen.

Then coughed badly in the yard.

"Third brother, this is a waste of food."

Brother Xiao took the time to glance over there.

Mo Xiucai, who was helping, whispered, "Third Uncle can't."

"You have a good relationship, and now you're all talking for him," Second Brother Xiao chuckled.

Mo Xiucai was a little embarrassed, but he didn't change his mind.

Brother Xiao was happy to see this, "It's okay, your sister-in-law has a sense of proportion, there are three fish, if one is ruined, there will be two."

"The third brother cooked all three fish," said Fourth Sister Xiao after coughing.

"what?"

Big Brother Xiao and Second Brother Xiao immediately put down their work and went to the kitchen. Xiao Le came out with a big bowl of fish in one hand after taking over the work. "What are you waiting for, Fourth Sister? Help serve the dishes."

Seeing his indifferent face, Big Brother Xiao and Second Brother Xiao looked at each other.

"Where's sister-in-law?"

"Going out, I guess I'm coming back."

After Brother Xiao and the others washed their hands, they entered the table one after another.

The color of tofu and fish are very nice, but there is a strange and familiar taste.

Brother Xiao looked at the familiar little Madou on the fish, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, "You use Madou to make fish?"

"Well," Xiao Le put the bowl and chopsticks in front of Mo Xiucai, and whispered, "Eat more later, it's delicious."

Mo Xiucai looked at him sideways, "Okay."

Xiao Le also smiled at him.

Soon Mrs. Xiao came back.

But none of them moved their chopsticks. At this time, Mo Xiucai stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a piece of fish.

Brother Xiao hurriedly said, "Cheng Mo! Be careful of diarrhea!"

"What are you talking about?" Xiao Le was not happy, and he picked up a chopstick and put it in his mouth one step faster than Mo Xiucai. Then he yelled, and everyone looked over in fright.

But seeing Xiao Le enjoying it, "It's delicious!"

How cheap is that little appearance.

Amid Brother Xiao's laughter and cursing, Mo Xiucai ate the piece of fish, which was crispy and crispy, with a delicious taste, and even the fish bones were crispy and delicious, and could be chewed with a little force.

In the eager eyes of everyone, Mo Xiucai stared at the bowls of fish dishes with bright eyes, "It's delicious!"

Xiao Le directly took a bowl and put it in front of them, "Then eat more."

"Okay," Mo Xiucai put down the second chopsticks, and Xiao Le returned the tofu for him.

"I'll try it," Second Brother Xiao also stretched out his hand, and the next moment he stuffed it into his mouth, he stretched it out again without even saying a word.

Fourth Sister Xiao was the last to strike. After eating, she pulled Xiao Le's sleeve, "Third brother teach me!"

"Have I won?"

Xiao Le said proudly.

"Win, win! Third brother is the best!"

"Lao San's fish is delicious, and the tofu is also delicious."

"Third, how do you know that fish is so delicious when made from Madou?"

"Old San, I'm going to catch fish in the river tomorrow, and you make this for me!"

"Third Uncle is amazing, I, I'll pour you wine."

When Mo Xiucai picked up the wine jar, brother Xiao realized, "Why does this wine jar look so familiar?"

Xiao Simei quickly buried her head in eating, and Xiao Le also buried her head in picking up vegetables.

Second Brother Xiao coughed, "Then what, brother, eat more."

"This seems to be the wine that elder brother gave me." Just as elder brother Xiao was about to reach out, sister-in-law Xiao looked at him quietly.

"Didn't the brother give you the wine already? When did you give this wine?"

Brother Xiao quickly withdrew his hand and nodded nonchalantly, "That's right, I've already finished drinking what I gave you earlier. This isn't my drink, it must belong to my second brother."

"I haven't gone to the market for a long time, how can...ah, what's mine is mine, everyone, drink more!"

In the middle of speaking, Second Brother Xiao, who met his eldest brother's eyes, immediately changed his words.

So the jar of wine and the three fish were eaten cleanly, but Mrs. Xiao liked the tofu and ate more.

Putting away the dishes and chopsticks doesn't care about Xiao Le's business.

He and Mo Xiucai climbed up to the roof of the firewood house again. Seeing this, the second brother Xiao also went up, and the elder brother Xiao also climbed up after walking around twice below.

When Mrs. Xiao and Fourth Sister Xiao finished packing the kitchen and came out, they heard voices coming from the roof of the firewood house outside the yard.

"Sister-in-law, look."

Fourth Sister Xiao pointed over there.

"Really," Aunt Xiao saw them sitting in a row, talking and laughing, she couldn't help but curl her lips, "Don't disturb them, Fourth Sister, let's talk in your room."

"it is good."

Fourth Sister Xiao nodded.

When she entered the room, she saw the wild flowers in the bamboo tube. Aunt Xiao thought of the ones in her own room and sighed, "Fourth sister has a heart, there are more flowers in my room than yours."

"What does that matter?" Fourth Sister Xiao chuckled, asked Mrs. Xiao to sit down by the bed, and took out the handkerchief she learned to embroider with Xiao Le, "You think third brother is so smart, I didn't know he knew so many things before. .”

"That's right," Aunt Xiao also sighed when she thought of Xiao Le who was sneaking around in the past, "Maybe it's because we spoiled him."

"Me too," Fourth Sister Xiao raised her eyes, "Sister-in-law, I was also spoiled by you. I didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, and I did a lot of wrong things."

As she said that, Fourth Sister Xiao's eyes turned red.

Seeing this, sister-in-law Xiao hurriedly took her into her arms, "Why are you crying, tell sister-in-law what's going on, sister-in-law will never tell your brothers."

"Sister-in-law, don't tell them, I already know I was wrong," Xiao Simei was really afraid that Li Xiucai would reveal the things between them, and at that time she would really be a concubine for him, so she cried while She was ashamed to tell what happened between herself and Li Xiucai.

Mrs. Xiao felt distressed and angry when she heard it.

She couldn't help but slapped Fourth Sister Xiao lightly twice, "Why are you so confused!"

"I know I was wrong," Fourth Sister Xiao hugged her waist and cried, "Sister-in-law, what do I do if you say he stabbed the incident at home or in the village?"

"No," Mrs. Xiao wiped away her tears, "If he dares to do this, we won't let him go! But you have to promise me that you will never associate with him again, let alone turn your back on it."

"I won't," Fourth Sister Xiao hurriedly raised her hand to swear, "If I mess with Li Xiucai again, I'll die!"
