Rebirth: Farming Skillfully with a Mrs.

Nian Xiaomi couldn't hold back her temper, so she stepped forward to watch Xiaodiao up close.

"It's so cute!"

He smiled and stroked Xiao Diao's head lightly.

This time, the house has really become a zoo!

July has started to be hot, and there is not much farm work. Everyone is basically in a state of escaping the summer heat, recharging their energy and waiting for the autumn harvest and autumn planting.

There is a small stream at the door of the house, the stream flows down from the mountain, it is very cool, and it has become a bathtub for the men of the Nian family.

Yan Mo, Gu Yunfeng, Xiaoyong and the others would often go there for a few swims and would not come back until dark.

Nian Xiaomi and Sister Lanhua sometimes go to join in the fun.

A group of "big naughty boys" "Zha Mengzi" fishing in the creek, and the scenes of the handsome boys playing in the water with their bare buttocks are so lively!

When they landed on the shore, Yan Mo and the others not only touched fish and shrimp, but also caught a big basket of crabs!

Back home, Nian Xiaomi went up to check, and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

There are more than a dozen crabs in total, very big, comparable to the well-known "Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs" in the previous life!

"When the autumn wind blows, crabs' feet itch; when chrysanthemums bloom, crabs come."

Although autumn is the best time to eat crabs, in ancient times, because there was no pollution, and Nian Xiaomi often poured his consciousness into the stream in order to keep fit.

Therefore, these crabs are already plump in summer.

"Why don't you eat crabs tonight?" Nian Xiaomi asked.

Yan Mo smiled: "I don't choose what you cook and eat."

"You wash the crabs first, and then go get some straw ropes to tie them up."

Nian Xiaomi ordered, then went to the kitchen to find a steamer to boil water.

The back of the five-flowered crab is smooth and shiny, and the abdomen is crystal clear and white, with a jade-like beauty.

The two stings and eight claws are strong and powerful, the crab legs are flaring, and the mouth makes a sizzling sound.

Suddenly, Nian Xiaomi felt compassion.

These are living beings, it's too cruel to kill them just to feed us.

He secretly swore, little crabs, let's eat this one time, try something new!

It is very important to control the heat of steamed crabs. If the time is too short, the crab roe paste will not solidify, and if it is too long, the crab meat will become hard and not tender, and it will lose its sweetness when eaten.

Nian Xiaomi put the tied crabs down with their shells up.

Sister Lanhu asked curiously, "Why are you so particular about it?"

Nian Xiaomi smiled: "This is to prevent the crab roe paste from overflowing."

After that, he cut a piece of ginger and put it on the crab body to remove the fishy smell.

Eating crabs alone is definitely not enough, so Nian Xiaomi plans to make pimple soup again.

Pimple soup is very easy to make. You only need to beat flour with water to make a paste, and add a few eggs. This way, the glutinous rice is golden and beautiful, and it tastes softer.

Heat the oil in the pan, pour in the tomatoes and stir-fry to make juice, add water and batter until lumps form, then sprinkle salt, green vegetables, and shallots on the pan, and the delicious lump soup is ready!

The body of the crab in the steamer turns red and the fragrance overflows.

The crab is also cooked!

At this time, the sky had just turned dark, and Nian Xiaomi stood in the courtyard and shouted:

"Brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts, mother-in-law and husband-in-law! Let's have dinner!"

After shouting, the crabs were brought into the main room, and the whole room was fragrant.

"Yuhu, go and get the bitter wine, and bring the shredded ginger along the way."

In ancient times, the common people couldn't afford vinegar, so they used plums to make a substitute, called bitter wine.

"Why do you need Jiangsi?" The curious baby sister Lanhua continued to ask.

"Because crabs are too cold, ginger is just to drive away the cold."

Yan Mo couldn't resist the temptation of the aroma, he grabbed the crab and chewed the meat and shell, and even swallowed the crab whiskers and stomach pulp.

In the end, I didn't taste the delicious crab at all, and the teeth were still filled with shell residue, and my lips were pierced. It was miserable...

"You are such a tiger! How can you eat crabs like this? I will teach you!"

Nian Xiaomi demonstrated in person.

"Look, first uncover the crab shell, taste the delicious and tender crab roe, then open the crab body, eat the crab meat inside, and finally the crab legs and crab claws. This will keep your mouth warm without burning your mouth."

"Can these claws be eaten?" Yan Mo asked puzzled, they had never eaten crab legs before.

"It's the most tender meat in there!"

Everyone followed Nian Xiaomi's example and started eating slowly.

Sure enough, the paste is yellow and moist and plump, the crab meat is white and tender and delicious, and the combination of two swords directly points to the hearts of the people.

Dip in shredded ginger and bitter wine, and taste it while it is hot.

Grandma Qi has bad teeth, so Nian Xiaomi thoughtfully picked out all the crab meat, put it in a bowl and handed it to her.

Afterwards, a bowl of pimple soup was served to each person, and only then did the full of fat and sweetness be dissolved invisibly.

After dinner, the family divided the work into washing dishes, locking chickens and ducks in cages, feeding pigs, and checking the backyard.

Nian Xiaomi closed the door, and the day was over.

In summer, children are less able to adjust to hot weather, plus love to run and jump, often sweat, and do not dry off in time after sweating, it is easy to catch a cold and have a fever.

Niuniu had a fever in the middle of the night.

Yuhu, who is in the same room, notices something strange, and hurriedly calls Xiaomi for the coming year.

Nian Xiaomi carried her upstairs and used the "Natural Heart" to relieve the fever, but the little person was still very weak.

Sister Lanhua's house and Granny Qi's house were also disturbed, and they all ran to see the condition, and they basically stayed up all night.

After a few hours.

Nian Xiaomi was awakened by the crowing of the cock. He turned over and reached out to touch Niuniu on the pillow.

Fortunately, her forehead was no longer hot, and Nian Xiaomi let out a long sigh of relief.

It was still pitch black outside the window.

Yan Mo also woke up, got up and lit the tung oil lamp, the warm yellow light swayed softly.

"It's not burning anymore?" He asked softly.

"Well, I rubbed it with white wine several times last night, and it seems to have worked." Nian Xiaomi didn't say "heart of nature".

His voice suddenly choked up, "If there is something wrong with Niuniu, I don't know what to do!"

"It's fine if you retire, you haven't slept much all night, so lie down again!" Yan Mo thoughtfully said.

"It's okay, Granny Qi and the others are all up and busy."

Nian Xiaomi got dressed and got out of bed, turned around and tucked the blanket for the sleeping Niu Niu, kissed her on the forehead, then blew out the oil lamp, and went downstairs with Yan Mo.

He carried a bundle of firewood from the woodshed and came to the kitchen, just as Aunt Liu was coming over.

It was still dark and I couldn't see people clearly.

Aunt Liu looked at the dark figure and called out "who"?

Nian Xiaomi hurriedly said something.

"Xiaomi? Why did you wake up so early? Has Niuniu's fever gone?" Aunt Liu pushed open the door, lit the oil lamp, and asked with concern.

"Retire, I also alarmed you last night."

"It's fine if you retire, I really feel sorry for the dead, hey... the baby's life is also hard, and she was abandoned by her parents at such a young age." Aunt Liu said with emotion.

Grandma Qi also came over, thinking of Niuniu's pink and obedient appearance, she also asked distressedly: "Are her parents still missing?"

Nian Xiaomi shook her head.

Although Niuniu has been regarded as a relative, Nian Xiaomi still wants to know who her biological parents are.

I also asked shopkeeper Xue to help inquire in the city, but to no avail...

"Auntie, mother-in-law, you didn't have a good rest last night, let me make breakfast, you go back to your room and rest!"

Grandma Qi had already lit the fire in the stove, under the light of the fire, she could see deep wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, very haggard.

"Miwa, you are out of touch. We are a family, and we don't talk about each other. Besides, the work of cooking and feeding chickens and ducks is not tiring. I get up and sleep. No more."

Nian Xiaomi has been cooking her family's sorghum bean noodle porridge in a big pot.

Aunt Liu brought a tin can from the stove, scooped it into water, took out a bowl of white rice from the rice vat, put it in the tin can, and put it on another stove.

"Niuniu must be yelling hungry when she wakes up, cook some white rice porridge for her, and feed it to her later."

After that, I went to another kitchen to make stewed vegetables.

Nian Xiaomi deftly put corn buns in the steamer.

There are more than a dozen people in the Nian family, and the steamed buns are stacked on two layers. The steamer made of bamboo is evenly filled with golden steamed buns, which is pleasing to look at.

Peasants can't just drink porridge for breakfast, so they are not hungry, so steamed buns and steamed buns are a must. In addition, steamed sweet potatoes are often used for a change of taste.

The sky soon became slightly brighter, and people got up one after another, sweeping the floor, carrying water, chopping firewood, and a day in the Nianjia compound began.

After Xiaoyong and others finished their work, they came to the bedroom upstairs.

Niu Niu was obediently lying on the bed, showing her flushed little face.

His hair was wet with sweat and stuck to his forehead, and his lips were a little dry.

Xiaoyong stretched out his hand and gently touched his forehead, then hissed Yuhu again.

When Niuniu opened her eyes, she saw four people standing beside the kang from tall to short—Sister Lanhua, Gu Yunfeng, Xiaoyong, and Yuhu.

And of course, there's the fat monkey.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Niuniu giggled embarrassedly.

"Niuniu is awake!" Yuhu's eyes curved into crescent moons.

"Cluck." Niu Niu called softly, her voice was very dry, and it sounded like a chicken.

"Brother, go get you some water!" Xiaoyong hurriedly went downstairs to pour water.

"Niu Niu, what about sister?" Sister Lan Hua went up to pat her head and said lovingly.

"Sister Hua." Niu Niu called softly.

"And me?" Gu Yunfeng approached.

"Yunfeng giggling." Niu Niu obediently shouted.

The fat monkey also wanted to move forward, and squeaked anxiously, making everyone laugh.

"Niuniu, you scared us to death last night, don't you know? Yuhu is crying..." Sister Lanhua said quickly.

Yuhu blushed instantly, feeling embarrassed.

Xiaoyong has already come up with the clay pot, embraces Niuniu who is rolled up, and slowly feeds the water.

It is common for rural people to take care of their children by older children.

The warm picture further demonstrates the friendship and harmony of the Nian family.

Nian Xiaomi also brought thick boiled white rice porridge, as well as a plate of radish and kimchi.

Nian Xiaomi picked up the spoon, blew gently, and brought it to Niuniu's mouth.

Niuniu opened her mouth obediently, swallowed it in one gulp, and stared at the bowl in his hand with burning eyes.

"What a greedy cat." Nian Xiaomi laughed, knowing that Niuniu was fine.

"Niuniu, if, my brother said, if your parents are coming to pick you up, would you like to go back?"

Nian Xiaomi has always had a premonition recently that Niuniu's relatives will soon come to her...

When Niuniu heard this, she curled her mouth, her nose twitched, and she burst into tears.

"Brother...Brother don't want Niuniu..."

Nian Xiaomi was so scared that she put down the bowl and quickly hugged her in her arms.

"I'm sorry, Niuniu, brother shouldn't ask, how could brother not want you, you are our baby, right?"

Yuhu, Xiaoyong and others responded in unison.

Only then did Niuniu laugh through tears.
