Defeat natural disasters with farming

The time of chatting always passed quickly, as if in the blink of an eye, Aunt Ye brought her husband and two children to Ye's house.

Mrs. Ye welcomed them in quickly, and said in disapproval: "Come into the house to keep warm, why don't you wear more clothes, you are wearing such thin clothes just after giving birth."

Aunt Ye has a ruddy complexion and a plump figure. It can be seen that she has been raised very well during the confinement period. She said angrily: "How can they be so delicate? There are also daughter-in-laws in our village who go to work in the fields right after giving birth. It’s been a full month of confinement, and I’ve recovered a long time ago.”

After finishing speaking, she signaled her husband Qin Zheng to put down the door-to-door gift in his hand, which was a piece of meat and a pack of snacks.

Seeing this, Mrs. Ye pointed her forehead with her finger, "This snack is not cheap, why don't you save it for Brother Wen and his son to eat."

Aunt Ye took Old Madam Ye's arm coquettishly, "It's all dim sum brought by guests, and they don't ask for money. Brother Wen and the others have already eaten several packs at home, I'm afraid their teeth will be broken if they eat any more. There is also this piece of meat, but it is fresh beef, my father-in-law bought two pieces from someone, and he happened to come home today and asked me to bring them back for the children to taste."

"A young calf accidentally tripped and became lame came to the butcher's shop in the county town, and it happened to be slaughtered the other day."

Beef is very hard to come by, and most of the old beef that enters the market today is old beef that has to be slaughtered due to old age and frailty. Tender beef like this that appears due to force majeure is very rare.

Granny Ye said: "Our children have never eaten beef, but this time they are able to taste something new thanks to their uncle's blessing."

Qin Zheng put the things on the table, patted his head and said: "It's not a good thing, thanks to the various mushrooms and tofu you sent earlier, it suits Brother Wu's appetite, otherwise he would have to eat porridge every day and get pickled vegetables. "

Speaking of this, Mrs. Ye immediately embraced Qin Muwu nervously, and asked him, "Are you feeling better?"

Then he asked Aunt Ye: "What did the doctor say?"

Qin Muwu nodded obediently, "Grandma, I'm already well."

Young Aunt Ye also said: "The doctor said that the cold wind hurt his spleen and stomach, and he prescribed a medicine. After taking it for half a month, he will be fine. Now he is alive and kicking."

Only then did Mrs. Ye feel relieved, and she patted her two grandchildren, "Hurry up and play with your cousin in the house."

As soon as the Wenwu brothers heard this, they ran into Ye Yu's room hand in hand.

When they entered the door, Ye Yu happened to bring out the food tray and teapot.

"Come and sit down, try the pine nuts and chestnuts fried at home." Ye Yu raised his hand and greeted.

Qin Muwen was uncharacteristically, instead of eating snacks as usual, he stared at Chu Xufeng curiously, "Brother Bao, who is this?"

"He's a guest at my house. His surname is Chu. You can call him brother Chu."

After introducing them, Ye Yu pointed to the two brothers and said to Chu Xufeng, "These are the twin sons of my sister-in-law. The fatter one is the elder brother Qin Muwen, and the thinner one is the younger brother Qin Muwu."

The younger brother lost a lot of weight due to illness, which also made it easier for them to distinguish between them with the same face.

The three had known each other before, so Ye Yu took the pine nuts from the food plate and gave them to them one by one.

Qin Muwen said while nibbling pine nuts: "When will Brother He and the others come back? I was thinking about letting them take us to skate on the Liu River."

"It's probably evening. In that case, do you two want to stay at home for a few days?"

Ye Yu sent out an invitation, "Anyway, there is nothing to do these two days."

The two brothers would live in Ye's house for a while every year, not for a long time, only two or three days.

Qin Muwen thought for a while and said regretfully, "My mother just gave birth to a little sister this year, so she shouldn't be able to stay for too long."

That's right, Fu Niu was just born, even if there is a grandma to take care of her at home, mothers are always worried.

A few children in the house were chatting, and outside the house the adults began to talk as well as they were doing their work.

Aunt Ye kept picking vegetables, "I wanted to bring Fu Niu with me, but she couldn't stand the cold recently, so she had to stay at home."

Mrs. Ye glanced at her, "It's such a cold day, tell the child to stay well, don't keep trying to take her out."

"Isn't it because Dad hasn't seen his granddaughter yet? I just want to take it out for Dad to see." Aunt Ye smiled heartily, "It seems that I can only bring her back next year."

The old man Ye was squatting at the door smoking a cigarette. When he saw his daughter say this, he immediately grinned. He shook the pipe, "It's not a big deal. When I wait for the child's [-]th day, ask your brother to take me to celebrate her [-]th day." .”

"Okay, then it's settled, and both parents will come."

Old man Ye and Mrs. Ye nodded when they heard the words, and they could give Fu Niu a longevity lock at that time.

"Then what is Fu Niu eating at home today?" Mrs. Ye asked worriedly.

Aunt Ye replied: "A neighbor of mine has just given birth. She has enough milk and is more than enough to feed two children. I have visited in advance with my things and asked her to help feed Fu Niu today."

"That's good."

"Mother, I've already chosen my dishes, so I just go in and help my sister-in-law."

After saying this, Aunt Ye brought the vegetables into the stove, and at this moment Mother Ye was packing up the piece of beef in the stove, she only cut half of it for cooking at noon, and put the rest in the yard to freeze.

"Sister-in-law, I'll help you."

Mother Ye didn't stop her hands, and said in disapproval: "You are a guest today, so there is no reason to ask guests to work."

"Hey, whoever we are with whom is a family."

After Ye Xiaogu finished speaking, she took the spatula, "Are you going to start frying?"

"Saute it first, and I can put it in the pot after I marinate the beef."

The beef that Aunt Ye brought was not big at all, and it would be even smaller after being cut in half, but Mother Ye was obviously very experienced in this. After a while, heat the oil in the pan, throw in the onion, garlic, and dried peppers and sauté until fragrant, then pour in shredded beef and carrot slices, and it will be a full dish after it comes out of the pan.

Add pork ribs in smoked sauce and it's a good lunch.

If the beef is not cooked properly, the taste will be very old, and it will have a little fishy smell when you eat it, but Yemu's fried beef does not have these problems at all, it is tender and spicy, and the taste is extremely delicious.

At the dinner table, Mrs. Ye introduced Chu Xufeng to the couple, but only said that he was the child of an old friend of the third child and had lived at home for a few days, without revealing his identity.

Seeing Chu Xufeng, Ye Xiaogu praised: "What a good boy!"

Chu Xufeng thanked him modestly.

The meal was a feast for the guests and the host.

After eating, Ye Yu originally thought about whether he should take his two cousins ​​out for a while, but before he could speak, the Dafang family came back in the middle of the afternoon, and the task of taking the two brothers out to play was immediately handed over to Gave it to Yehe.

Ye Yu didn't go out with them, but stayed at home with Chu Xufeng.

He sat on the kang, resting his chin on his right hand, "every year, there are many people coming and going."

Lively is really lively, even occasionally it is really noisy.

Chu Xufeng smiled, "Isn't this just Chinese New Year, how normal."

He paused before continuing: "Jia Yi and I are leaving tomorrow."

Ye Yu paused with the hand holding the cup, "Then...should I wish you all the best of luck?"

Seeing this, Chu Xufeng couldn't help pinching Ye Yu's face, "There will always be a day when we meet again."

The two of them were in a dull atmosphere because they were facing parting, while in the main room outside, Aunt Ye looked at Sister Ye and asked suspiciously: "Sister-in-law, why did you come back so early?"

Aunt Ye changed into homely clothes and said with a smile: "There is nothing serious at home, and I will be back after a meal."

But Mother Ye looked at Taohua a little unhappy, and entered the house as soon as she got home, without saying a word.

Sure enough, when Mrs. Ye was packing up her things, she said to Mrs. Ye: "Today, Taohua was wronged. This child came to her grandma's house wearing a silver bracelet, and was scolded by her eldest aunt."

What's wrong with being a parent who bought a silver bracelet for her daughter, and she didn't use other people's money, why should her sister-in-law spit on the child, and even told Hai Geer that there was nothing.

Of all the members of Mrs. Ye's natal family, only her eldest brother's daughter-in-law is not very good-natured. She is patriarchal and has shallow eyelids.

Ever since Taohua heard her aunt's words, she has been depressed. Even if her grandparents had scolded her sister-in-law severely, she didn't get over it. That's why their family came back early.

After hearing the cause and effect, Mrs. Ye slapped her thigh and said angrily: "It's just a bracelet, why tell the child what you have or what you don't have."

Aunt Ye was also very upset, "It makes people angry when the Chinese New Year is celebrated."

"I'll wait for Peach Blossom to get married later. As a sister-in-law, I will have to add makeup. Not to mention silver hairpins and silver bracelets, I can still get a silver bean."

Speaking of getting engaged, Mrs. Ye suddenly remembered something, "The Wu family recruited Di to get engaged, and they were talking about the second daughter-in-law's Orion in their village."

Aunt Ye was taken aback when she heard the words, "Orion?"

"Yeah, I have some distant relatives with my second daughter-in-law. They are strong and strong. Every time they go into the mountains, they can catch a lot of prey. Because both parents died, no one has ever talked about their relationship. The delay is not too young now. .”

The disadvantages and advantages of such people are clear at a glance.

Mother Ye said: "Zhaodi will be able to be the master of the family if she gets married. For her, it is really a good marriage."

After all, the reputation of the Wu family is there. Even if Mrs. Wu is no longer able to be a demon anymore, her situation in the village will not improve for a while, not to mention that her father is also synonymous with uselessness.

Mrs. Wu can only lie on the bed now, with her mouth crooked and drooling obliquely, and because of this, her temper has become more and more irritable. Their family can hear the screams next to them every day.

"Indeed, Zhaodi is also a person who knows how to live. The young couple take their time, and life will always get better."

While the daughters-in-law were chatting and working, the men of the Ye family didn't rest. They went out to fetch water together with buckets, and because Ye's father, brother and Qin Zheng were tall and big, So I went back and forth several times to fill the large water tank in the yard with water.

At this moment, Ye He came back with his two cousins ​​covered in sweat, and he was still holding a shrinking thing in his hand.

Aunt Ye took a closer look and said in surprise, "Where did you catch this old turtle?"

Ye He smiled proudly, "It got in by itself, and it happened to be a dish for our family at night."

"That's a good thing, I'll cook something delicious for you later."
