Four Foods in the Mountains

The baby in my womb was born around spring, and although it was winter, it was still a bit chilly, so I had to prepare all these things when I was born.

Although Yao Chunling helped to make some, and the family's aunt and sister-in-law often asked someone to send them, but Cen Ning still wanted to sew some for the child himself.

His hands were a little swollen due to pregnancy, it was inconvenient to hold a needle, and sewing was much slower than before. In addition, his waist couldn't stand it after sitting for a long time, and it took several days to sew a small bellyband that was worn close to the body.

It was raining, and there was a fresh smell of earth in the yard. Cen Ning sat under the eaves, wearing a cotton coat, neither hot nor cold, sipping the jujube cake Lu Yunchuan bought for him and sewing his apron. Take a walk in the main room and rest your eyes by the way.

Caressing his belly, Cen Ning kept smiling.

At noon, Aunt Wu cooked the meal. Seeing the pork bones on the kitchen stove, Aunt Wu smiled at Cen Ning: "Boy Chuan went to the town to buy meat again? It was still raining this morning."

"It happened that there were some things missing at home, so he went to the town to buy them together." Cen Ning smiled, holding his stomach and took a basin to fill Aunt Wu with pork bones.

"You rest, I'll make it." Aunt Wu hurriedly said, "Then I will make soup for you at noon today. You are about to give birth. Drink more soup to mend your body, and you will have strength when you give birth."

He also wanted to say something auspicious to make Cen Ning happy: "Looking at the pointy front of your belly, you will definitely give birth to a white and fat boy."

Cen Ning rubbed his belly and said with a smile, "This kid is very good. He never annoys me. He doesn't even move. Both Chuanzi and I think he should be a little brother."

Aunt Wu was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, then she nodded and smiled: "It's all good, you and Chuan Zi were born handsome, and the child born no matter whether it's a boy or a brother, must also be beautiful."

The pork bones were blanched in a basin, and Aunt Wu walked into the kitchen with the basin in her hand. It would be a lie if she said she wasn't envious.

As for what Cen Ning said just now, how many daughters-in-law would dare to say that in someone else's house?They all just hope that their stomachs will be able to give birth to a big fat boy, so that their parents-in-law and husband-in-law will value themselves more.

Even when she was pregnant with her first child, she chewed dried radishes and swallowed jujubes all day long, hoping that Suan Erla Nu would really give birth to a son.That's it, she gave birth to another girl later, and the mother-in-law and the man in the family were still unhappy.

I also thought that in the past, people in the village said that the Lu family boy was poor, and many people were unwilling to marry their girls and brothers to him, but no one thought that the Lu family brothers were so hardworking and capable. He went out to find a job, but in just a few years, the wealth saved by the family was no less than that of some good families in the village.

Seeing that the Lu family is getting more and more prosperous these days, many people in the village are regretful. Such a capable and honest man, I was so dazed that I didn't like it, but let someone from another village marry him.

For a while, no one said that the Lu family boy had a good Yue's family. Didn't the Lu family boy take his husband back to his mother's house with his hands full of things during the holidays?

Because of this, during the years when Cen Ning was married and was unable to conceive, many people in the village chewed his tongue openly and secretly, saying that he looked too thin, and he didn't seem like someone who was blessed to have children.

But no matter what the villagers said, the Lu family boy just didn't care, and still only focused on work and husband.

Now Cen Ning finally got pregnant, and even bought meat and milked it every now and then, carrying it back without blinking.Blessing is something that is really hard to say sometimes.

A pot of white radish and pork bone soup was cooked for lunch, and Aunt Wu picked some meat from the bones and fried sliced ​​celery meat on the plate.

After the sliced ​​meat was fried, Lu Yunchuan also came back from the field with a hoe on his shoulder, still holding a handful of chicken feathers in his hand.

"What is this?" Cen Ning asked in surprise as he looked at the green leaf in Lu Yunchuan's hand.

He ate too much meat during pregnancy and always felt tired and panicked, so he wanted to eat some fresh green leafy vegetables, but at this time the fresh vegetables hadn't grown yet, Lu Yunchuan went up the mountain after hoeing the ground in the morning, and searched all over the mountain to get this. A few handfuls of chicken feathers.

Lu Yunchuan spread out his hands and showed Cen Ning the chicken feathers. The chicken feathers were tender right now, and the leaves were still stained with rainwater and mud. Looking at the verdant greenery, Cen Ning couldn't hold back his saliva.

Lu Yunchuan smiled and said, "Fry a plate for lunch. If you like it, I'll go to another mountain to look for it in the afternoon. It rained so much today, and the wild vegetables on the mountain should come out in a few days."

Bringing the chicken feathers to Aunt Wu, Aunt Wu knew that Cen Ning was greedy for this light bite, so she didn't put anything else in it, just sprinkled some salt and garlic and fried it on a plate.

When the food was served on the table, Aunt Wu untied the cloth towel around her waist and hung it up, saying: "The chicken feather vegetable that Chuan boy plucked is so tender, it must be to Brother Ning's taste, you can eat it while it is hot, I will go home first, it will be later." Come again."

After the work here is done, she has to go home and cook for her family. Her girl is still young, so she can make porridge, but cooking with a shovel is always easy to burn.

Lu Yunchuan was blowing a bowl of bone soup for Cen Ning, when Cen Ning turned his head and said to Aunt Wu: "There is so much bone soup that the two of us can't drink it, and it might go bad when the weather gets warmer, Aunt Wu, please fill it up and take it home to drink." .”

Aunt Wu rubbed her hands and said, "No, this, this is for your body..."

"I have a small appetite, and Chuanzi only gnaws bones and doesn't like soup. It's okay, you can serve some." Cen Ning's appearance was originally kind, but now that he has a body, his speech and actions are more gentle and kind.

Aunt Wu looked at him, feeling sorry for the children in the family who hadn't tasted meat for a long time, so she filled a bowl of soup in a thick bowl embarrassingly, and Cen Ning added a few pork bones for her by himself.

Holding the soup for fear of spilling it, Aunt Wu walked a little slower. When she reached the gate of the courtyard, she heard Lu Yunchuan behind her coaxing Cen Ning to eat more meat.

She couldn't help but glance back.

In the Qingqing small courtyard, the spring rain has stopped, and the accumulated rain on the tiles is dripping under the eaves. Occasionally, a few drops fall into the water tank with lotus and a few small fish, causing ripples.

Lu Yunchuan and Cen Ning were sitting in the main room, the simple food on the table was still steaming, Cen Ning didn't like greasy food, so he just ate chicken feathers on the plate.

Lu Yunchuan held the soup bowl and waited aside. After Cen Ning swallowed the food in his mouth, he brought a spoon to his mouth and fed a spoonful of soup, and then used chopsticks to carefully pick off the cartilage and meat on the bones. Gather into a small pile in the cenning bowl.

Such a big man was doing these delicate tasks on an empty stomach, and he never showed the slightest sign of impatience from the beginning to the end.

Even newly married couples are rarely as close as this, Aunt Wu sighed secretly in her heart.

Holding the bowl and walking home, Aunt Wu looked at the pork ribs in the bowl and smiled. She was getting old and got used to it all her life. She only hoped that her daughter would have some good luck like Cen Ning and marry A good man, living comfortably like this.
