Iron Bull Legend

The plump sorghum rice is dotted with jade-like kidney beans, which greatly increases people's appetite. Only during the Chinese New Year or when relatives come to visit can they have a full meal, which makes everyone excited. This is better than the cornmeal batter every day. Hundreds of times.

It is even more delicious than the cornmeal batter and cornmeal pancakes that are a bit loud, and paired with stir-fried dishes with marinated bacon, it makes everyone at the table obsessed.

In [-], for the villagers in the mountain village who had just lived a good life, today's wedding meal was more joyful than the Chinese New Year. Some people shed tears while eating and drinking.

Tie Honggang also cried. He thought of his parents who starved to death, and the days when he was starving after his parents died. He also thought of Tie Niu lying next to Xiu'er, and suddenly he laughed. .

It is a common thing to laugh and cry during a meal. Every family has such an occasion, and many people will unknowingly think of the past. No one cares about it, and no one laughs at it.

It is happiness to be able to eat a full meal, drink a sip of braised pork, and smell a little oil.

There was not enough wine, but they were full after the meal. Everyone left with a sigh of congratulations, a bit of wine smell, and the grease stains on their lips that they were reluctant to wipe off, and left contentedly.

The remaining neighbors who helped packed away the dishes, chopsticks, tables, chairs and benches, and even the water for washing the pots were taken away by the family with pigs, and they went back happily.

After Mr. Guo saw everyone finishing cleaning up and picking up the broom to clean the yard, he heard a few women who were still in the house looking after their children, chirping and laughing from time to time, and walked into the house.

This is a large house with two parts in the east and west, a kitchen in the middle and a cooking pot on one side. It is a typical northeastern style house. Although the couple is young, the house is kept very neatly. The walls are smoothed with yellow mud and the ceiling is made of wicker. ,

The east room is the room of the young couple. He walked into the west room. As soon as he entered the door, there was an earthen kang, with kang mats woven with sorghum straw. The gaps were even and fine, showing how skillful the hands of the weavers were. The kang mats were brushed one end at a time. The kang cabinet is covered with a layer of green paint and is dark red in color. It is obviously several decades old.

There is a quilt on top of the cabinet. Although it has patches, it is clean. After being washed, the folded boards are straight. Two pillows are also placed on top of the quilt in an orderly manner. It can be seen that the owner is a very neat and diligent person.

In the corner of the house, a large vat was already empty. It must have been used for cooking sauerkraut during the winter in the Northeast. There were two wicker vats next to it. The outsides were smooth and neat with yellow mud. One stored corn and the other stored sorghum rice. The small half tank shows the wealth of the owner.

There is also a wooden table next to the fire bed, which is eighty centimeters long and about fifty centimeters wide. It can be used as a dining table, or you can lie on it and write. It is very exquisitely made, which shows how exquisite the master's craftsmanship is.

While Mr. Guo was watching, Tie Honggang opened the door and walked in. When he saw Mr. Guo hurriedly handed over the sugar water in his hand, he was respectful and respectful.

"Give it to Xiu'er. This child is suffering." Mr. Guo sighed and pushed the sugar water filled into the enamel jar.

"Uncle, Xiu'er asked me to send this to you. It's from her heart." Tie Honggang said with a silly smile.

"I accept Xiu'er's wishes. Let's go and see the two of them." After speaking, Mr. Guo took the lead and walked towards the east room. At this time, there were still a few women in the room who had not left.

"Uncle, here we come." After Xiu'er finished speaking, she was about to stand up.

"Xiu'er, lie down. Your body is weak and you need to rest. You don't need to see the outside world." Mr. Guo said and came to take the child next to him. He looked at the little Tieniu who was just a few hours old. The little guy had eaten and drank enough and was nibbling on himself. When he saw Mr. Guo's little hand, he saw the black Qiuqiu eyes and glanced at the little mouth, like a smile.

"Bad boy, why can't I see you clearly? Alas, I'm not good at learning. I'll give this to you to protect yourself." After Mr. Guo finished speaking, he took off a Ying that was about five centimeters long and three or four centimeters wide from his neck. The jade pendant is smooth, but there is no bright color on it. A lifelike dragon is exquisitely carved and vivid, and is hung around Tien Niu's neck.

I don't know what happened, but as soon as the jade pendant was hung on Tieniu's neck, a round and gentle light disappeared directly into Tieniu's body. The little guy squinted his eyes as if he had drunk jade liquid and nectar. Instead of putting her little hand to her mouth to chew, she grabbed the jade pendant.

Neighbors came and went, and came again. Finally, Sister-in-law Jin came with two twin girls about two or three years old. The two little girls were very thin and looked at them timidly. A little baby sitting on the earthen bed.

"Mom, mom, this is an iron cow, right? It's as black as coal, geez, it's so fun." The two little girls asked in unison.

The shouts of the two children woke up Mr. Guo, who was deep in thought. He turned to look at the two little girls, his brows flashed again, "Is their father gone?"

"Mr. Guo, have you noticed?" Sister-in-law Jin frowned slightly and asked smoothly.

"Oh, you poor man. When your child grows up, he will follow Tie Niu and live a life of prosperity and wealth." After saying this, Mr. Guo turned around and returned to the West Room, and pulled Tie Honggang on before leaving.

"Uncle, what's the matter?" Tie Honggang asked innocently.

"Xiu'er's body probably won't be able to supply milk to this kid's mouth. Do you have any ewes or cows here that can give milk?" Mr. Guo asked with a frown.

"Uncle, no? I think Xiu'er's body is fine. Is she not short of milk?" Tie Honggang asked doubtfully, his silly look suddenly made Mr. Guo very angry.

"Haha, okay, prepare two strings for me. I'll go out and come back the day after tomorrow at the latest." After Mr. Guo finished speaking, he picked up his backpack on the Tukang and walked out.

"Uncle, shall I go with you?" Tie Honggang found two ropes from the kitchen and chased them out.

"Xiu'er's current body has just been given birth. Do you think it's okay?" Mr. Guo asked with a smile as he looked at the sight in front of him.

"Then...Uncle, please pay attention to your health, I will bring you something to eat." After saying that, he turned back to the kitchen, and when he came out with the things, there was no one there.

Mr. Guo walked out of the courtyard, and after a while, his body disappeared into the darkness, running wildly, his body was as light as a flying bird, like a wisp of blue smoke.

It was quiet in the mountain village. The chickens and ducks were already on the shelves. The dogs who were watching were too lazy to move because they were hungry. However, their ears were perked up, listening to the noise outside. After dinner, the oil lamps had been blown out and they went to sleep on the kang. , the whole small mountain village was peaceful.

"Uncle Xiaogang, why doesn't my little brother sleep?" the two girls watching the little life asked in unison.

"Xiaolan, Xiaozhu, he likes this place, he's looking at that." Tie Honggang said casually, not knowing how to explain it.

"Then tell me, if he is as old as us, will he play with us?" the two little girls asked again.

"Then do you like little brother?" Tie Honggang asked looking at the two little girls.

"I like it. We like our little brother, will he play with me?" The two little girls thought for a while and asked.

"Okay, it's getting dark, go home quickly." Sister-in-law Jin took the two little girls and left.

"Uncle Xiao Gang hasn't told us yet?" the two little girls turned around and asked reluctantly.

"I will definitely play with you. Come here early tomorrow. My little brother also likes his sisters Xiaolan and Xiaozhu." Tie Honggang said with a smile as he sent them away.

After everyone left, the little Tieniu chirped for a while. After Xiu'er fed him milk, Tieniu yawned and fell asleep. He fed him milk in the middle of the night and slept soundly until dawn.

Tie Honggang got up early, washed up, heated up the leftover meat and vegetables from yesterday, made millet porridge, and boiled five eggs. After Xiu'er woke up, he had a delicious breakfast.

After daybreak, Tieniu woke up with a yawn. The two people hurriedly peeed a large amount of child urine on Tieniu, making the comfortable little guy smile.

At this time, there was the sound of the door opening, and two little sisters, Jin Zhu and Jin Lan, ran in with smiles on their faces. They looked at the little Taurus. The two little girls giggled happily and kept teasing the little Taurus.

Tie Honggang saw that Xiu'er and the children were fine, humming a song and going about their business, feeding the chickens and ducks, waiting for the team bell to ring, then went to work carrying farm tools, saying hello to everyone, and having a silly laugh , the whole person feels refreshed.

There was a heavy rain yesterday, and the crops in the fields grew like crazy, and they were all green. This made the farmers who dug in the soil happy and found it easy to work. However, it was a pain for the cultural people who jumped in the queue to transform.

The dozen or so educated people had never done farm work before, and coupled with their long-term malnutrition, they were just a bunch of weak chickens compared with these rough men in the countryside. Now, they were even inferior to native women.

The people in the mountains are all simple. After finishing their own work, they hurried over to help them. These educated people blushed and kept saying polite words of thanks.

At this time, Jiang Da Lezi and a few people who had fun came over and began to ridicule the decentralized intellectuals. A dozen intellectuals also became bloody and risked their lives to do it.

When the sun was hanging above our heads, more than a dozen people were all so tired that their backs ached and they couldn't even stand up.

Tie Hong just handed the farm tools to the people around him, then he lowered his body and carried a white-haired old man in his fifties, supporting one with one arm, and the four of them walked from the field to the village. Although he was also a little tired, However, my heart was extremely happy.

After sending the three old people back to their residence, they returned home humming a song. As soon as they entered the door, they picked up the water gourd and drank half of the gourd's sweet belly. They immediately went to see Tieniu and Xiu'er in the house, and watched the little Tieniu purr. While sleeping, Xiuer was chatting with Jinlan and Jinzhu.

Tie Hong just turned around and went to the kitchen. He started to cook a large pot of millet porridge in an earthenware pot and put eggs in it. Then he heated up the remaining large pancakes and vegetables from the morning in the iron pot and waited until the millet porridge was ready. , filled three bowls, peeled the eggs and put them into the porridge.

A strong aroma of rice and eggs spread into the house. Little Jinlan and Jinzhu had their bellies growling and licked their lips, looking as cute as greedy cats.

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat." Tie Honggang shouted softly, acting extremely attentively like a little slave serving his master.

"Uncle Xiaogang, your rice is so delicious." Xiao Jinlan and Xiao Jinzhu still shouted in unison.

"Haha, then eat more. From now on, we will stay at Uncle Xiaogang's house." Tie Honggang liked the two little girls very much. Before they were married, the two little girls were like followers, surrounding them. stop.

Slurping and slurping, the food was eaten by several of them like delicacies. The delicious food made the two little girls smile and giggle non-stop, making the room a lot happier.

When everyone finished eating, Little Tieniu woke up and squeaked a few times. Tie Hong just knew that Little Tieniu was either peeing or needing to poop. He picked up the child and found a wicker basket covered with firewood ash. Little Jinlan had placed it underneath. .

Xiao Tieniu looked at the two little girls, and made a whining sound with his little mouth, as if he was talking to the two of them. The two little girls also made babbling noises with their little mouths open, and then giggled.
