I want to protect my family, but you force me to take the lead

"Are you three going down to the river?"

Seeing the three lively fish in the bucket, Yuan Fangcao raised his eyes and glanced at Qin Xiaohu and his two brothers.

The anger in his eyes instantly made the three brothers, who were excited just now, immediately lower their heads and stand quietly where they were.

Seeing this, Yuan Fangcao had nothing in mind and said sternly: "Stand in the corner and wait for your parents to come back and see how they deal with you." After saying that, she didn't look at the wooden barrel containing the fish anymore, but pulled Qin Nuan into the house.

"Girl, grandma knows you can hide things, how about helping grandma hide something?"

"Yes, I'll help you, grandma. I guarantee no one will find it."

"Wait." Yuan Fangcao said as he got on the kang, opened the kang cabinet and fumbled around for a while.

Then, a square partition appeared at the end of the kang.

???

Qin Nuanxin thought: Is there such a place in our home?

Seeing Qin Nuan's surprised look, Yuan Fangcao got off the kang, rubbed her head and whispered, "Are you surprised?"

"Yeah, I'm more curious about what's inside, hehe..."

"Wait, grandma will take it out, you can take your time to look at it."

Qin Nuan smiled and said "Okay".

Yuan Fangcao dug up the soil and took out a tightly wrapped rectangular object from inside.

It looks like a box.

As Yuan Fangcao moved, he peeled off the outer wrapping and a suitcase appeared in Qin Nuan's sight.

After opening the suitcase, Yuan Fangcao turned to look at her granddaughter and said jokingly, "Did you see it?"

Looking at the old lady who was teasing him, Qin Nuan nodded very understandingly, "I see, I see. Grandma, are these all from our family?"

"These ten gold ingots and five gold bricks, as well as the jewelry in these two small boxes, are your dowry from grandma. You should keep them separately.

This side is for your brothers, but you can't take it out now. If you give it to them, they will have to find a place to hide it. You should keep it together. Only this canvas bag, you must keep it well. If you have the opportunity to go to Kyoto and Shanghai, you can open it. "

Seeing that Qin Nuan was well-behaved and didn't ask any more questions, Yuan Fangcao closed the lid of the box and let her put it away.

Yuan Fangcao quickly restored the end of the kang to its original state and pulled Qin Nuan back to her room.

Then he operated as fiercely as a tiger.

He took out four small boxes from three inconspicuous corners of Qin Nuan's room, and found two small boxes in the utility room, and asked Qin Nuan to put them all away before he stopped.

Qin Nuan, on the other hand, was stunned.

There were questions in her big eyes, but her grandmother didn't say anything. She just let her look at the things inside and then kept them.

After making sure that all the things the old couple had hidden were handed over to Qin Nuan, Yuan Fangcao sat down and pulled Qin Nuan to tell her: "Child, some of these things are grandma's dowry, and the other part is the betrothal gift from your great-grandmother to grandma. There are lists in it, you can take your time to read it."

"If it weren't for the war, you would be our beloved girl..."

Qin Nuan could hear the pain in her grandma's words. She wondered if this clever old lady knew something. She raised her head and smiled, "Grandma, I like my life now."

Yuan Fangcao, who was lamenting her fate, smiled and said, "As long as you like it. Okay, take a good look at it yourself. Grandma will go clean up the fish. We will have pickled fish tonight."

"I'm going to get some pickled vegetables."

Speaking of eating pickled fish, Qin Nuan immediately forgot about the treasure she received today and ran to the kitchen.

"This child..."

Yuan Fangcao did not stop him. Instead, he went back to the house, got a pair of scissors, walked to the wooden barrel, and cut open the dog's belly.

Qin Nuan placed the sauerkraut on the chopping board and picked up a kitchen knife to cut it into small strips.

The unique taste of sour cabbage stimulated her taste buds, and she couldn't help but take a piece and put it in her mouth and chew it slowly...

After killing the fish, Yuan Fangcao walked into the kitchen and saw his granddaughter secretly eating the pickled cabbage. He laughed and said, "Eat it like that, you won't have to worry about your teeth getting sour. Go wash the ginger and scallions, and peel some garlic."

"Hey, I'll go right away." Qin Nuan took another piece of pickled cabbage and put it in her mouth, then picked up the ginger and scallions and ran out...

Yuan Fangcao smiled and put the fish on the chopping board. With one knife, the fish head and the fish body were separated. Then with a few bangs, three fish weighing more than three pounds were cut into fish pieces.

He placed the fish pieces and fish head in two bowls respectively, cut some ginger slices and green onion segments, secretly poured in some of the wine hidden by his old man, mixed it all in with his hands and put it aside.

Next, knead the dough.

"Grandma, can we light the fire?"

Yuan Fangcao looked at the sky and said, "Burn it."

"Hey."

With Qin Nuan, the greedy cat, watching over him, Yuan Fangcao scooped a large piece of lard and put it in the pot. After it melted and was about 70% hot, he put the peppercorns and dried chili segments prepared by Qin Nuan into the pot.

In an instant, the smell of chili filled the kitchen.

Add garlic slices, ginger slices and chopped sauerkraut and stir-fry together.

After the aroma of sauerkraut is fried out, add clean water, fish heads, fish pieces and a small amount of salt.

Take the kneaded dough and make a circle of pancakes around the fish in the pot.

Once the lid is put on, it's done.

The three brothers who were punished to stand in the yard took a deep breath from time to time and smelled the smell of pickled fish in the air.

Qin Xiaowei smacked his lips and said, "The pickled fish made by grandma is really delicious."

Qin Xiaohu glanced at him and said, "You are the only one making a fuss. I will make you greedy to death."

Qin Xiaohua looked at his brothers on both sides with a sad look, "I just joined in the fun, but Grandma made me stand there as punishment. Do you think I am wronged?"

"No injustice."

"This is called sharing happiness and sharing difficulties."

Li Guihua and Zhao Xiaocao, who had just finished work and were preparing to help make dinner, looked at the three brothers and said sternly, "Stand without talking for half an hour."

Looking at the three people with their trouser legs rolled up, Zhao Xiaocao glared at them, "It's what you deserve! I taught you a lesson and made you go down to the river."

After hearing what their mother said, the three brothers decisively shut up and stopped talking.

"Mom, is there anything else to do?"

"Nuan Nuan is still well behaved, unlike that brat who is troublesome every day."

"There's nothing to do. Go take a rest. We'll have dinner when your father and the others come back."

"Hey."

"it is good."

The two sisters-in-law who responded were not idle either, but were preparing dishes and chopsticks.

"Hey! What happened? Did it go up to the sky, into the ground, or into the river?"

A joking voice came, and Qin Nuan knew it was her ruffian uncle. She raised her hand to her forehead and looked at her grandmother and two aunts who looked normal, and prayed for her three brothers in her heart...

Although her second uncle seems to be a bit ruffian and doesn't seem to care about anything, he is actually a ruthless person.

If she were to be targeted by her second uncle, it would not be easy to get rid of him.

Her grandfather is a smiling tiger, who smiles at everyone, but in fact he is very shrewd and it is no exaggeration to say that he always thinks five steps ahead before he takes one step.

Uncle Qin Lang is simple and honest, but actually he is shrewd and wise.

Looking at the three people busy in the kitchen, they all looked normal and their hands and feet were quick and skillful.

Qin Nuan suddenly sighed, what kind of family is she living in...
