Crossing the green wheat ears

For dinner, grandma stewed two chicken legs and chicken offal in a big pot, with vermicelli in it.

The chicken intestines are handled by Xiyuan himself. First, cut the chicken intestines with a knife, turn out the dirty things inside, rinse them with water, then wash them with salt, then scrub them with alkaline noodles, and finally wash them again with water starch. Remove the slippery mucus in the chicken intestines; then soak in wine for a while and then rinse with clean water.Boil boiling water, put the chicken intestines in boiling water and blanch them until cooked, then take them out, rinse them in cold water, and drain them. The processed chicken intestines are very clean and have no smell at all.

Xiyuan cut the chicken intestines into sections, cut the chicken blood into pieces, heat the pan, add oil, put in peppercorns and small dried chilis after [-]% heat, and slowly fry the aroma of peppers and peppercorns, stir-fry the chicken intestines, and then put Add chicken blood, stir-fry again, add onion, garlic, ginger, salt and a little bean paste, add a few drops of white wine (there is no cooking wine at home, so I have to use the white wine bought for the Chinese New Year for grandpa), stir-fry for a while, and take it out of the pan.

Xiyuan's fried chicken intestines and chicken blood were slightly spicy and numb due to the addition of dried chili and peppercorns. They tasted very enjoyable. Xi Wei and Wei Cheng were so proud of themselves that they didn't even bother to eat the chicken legs.

"Brother, it's delicious." Xi Wei's little mouth was oily, and he did not forget to compliment his brother while eating.

"Eat more if it tastes good." Xiyuan gave Wei Cheng and Xi Wei another piece of chicken blood, and said that eating more chicken blood is good for the body.Wei Cheng was still taking medicine, so he should have avoided it, but Xiyuan thought that his family didn't eat delicious food every day, so he wasn't so particular about it today.

For dinner, grandma made corn porridge and steamed steamed buns. Xiyuan saw how Wei Cheng and Xi Wei ate, and was afraid that eating too much meat would make them difficult to digest, so instead of giving the two children steamed buns, they each had a bowl of porridge.Xi Wei and Wei Cheng each had a big chicken leg in their bowls, and after eating a few mouthfuls, their stomachs became round. Xiyuan was afraid that they would be overwhelmed, so they discussed: "Grandma will keep the chicken legs for you two, we will eat them tomorrow." Okay?"

"..." Xi Wei didn't say anything, his eyes were fixed on the drumstick, and he seemed a bit reluctant.Wei Cheng listened to Xiyuan, and his brother refused to eat it if he refused to eat it, so he handed the chicken leg to grandma.

"Come on, we're full, I'm going to make shuttlecocks for you two." It is estimated that if you leave your eyes, you will forget if you can't look at the chicken legs.

"Then I'll eat it tomorrow morning!" Xi Wei used an affirmative sentence.

"Okay, my brother told us to keep it for Xiao Wei, and we Xiao Wei can eat it whenever we want." Xi Yuan picked up Xi Wei, led Wei Cheng, and went back to the room inside.

"Brother, I want this red rooster feather." Xi Wei gave the chicken feather he chose to his brother.When Xi Mingwen was slaughtering the chicken, the two boys were right in front of them, not afraid, just waiting to pluck the chicken.The three chickens caught today include a hen and two roosters. The hen is ugly, but the rooster's tail is very gorgeous. One is red, the other is black, white and gray.

"Okay, you two wait." Xiyuan took a copper coin, selected four chicken tail feathers, four chicken rib fluff, and took out two small pieces of cloth larger than the copper coin from grandma's sewing basket , use scissors to cut the cloth into a circle larger than the copper coins, put the copper coins between the two circular pieces of cloth, sew them firmly with thread, and then sew four short fluff and four chicken tail feathers in the center, fluff and The feathers of the tail feathers are directed in four different directions, and then tied up with threads.

Xiyuan made two in total, one was made of red chicken feathers at Xi Wei's request, and the other was made with Wei Cheng's opinion, mixed with black and white flowers and red chicken feathers.Xi Wei originally insisted on the red color, but when Xiyuan made the second one, he felt that the two colors were also very good-looking, and he was reluctant to part with one or the other. Waiting for Xi Wei to choose by his brother's side, seeing Xi Wei struggled for a long time, it was Xiyuan who gave him an idea, let him take the red one, and he can play with Cheng Zi brother later, so Xi Wei will not be in a dilemma.

The next morning the rooster just crowed, and Xi Yuan was sleeping soundly. Xi Wei began to restless in the bed, turning over for a while, but he still remembered that there was a big chicken leg that he didn't eat, and he had to tell grandma about breakfast I warmed it up for him, and the shuttlecock made by my brother. He put it next to the pillow when he slept at night, and now he can touch it as soon as he stretches out his hand. Today, I want to show off to Zhuzi and the others. Others’ shuttlecocks are made of twine. It's so ugly, wait for him to take it out to make them greedy.

Xi Yuan was so disturbed by Xi Wei that he couldn't fall asleep, turned over, hugged Xi Wei in his arms, and pressed Xi Wei's body with his thighs.

Originally, the parents saw that there were too many people in the east room and wanted Xi Wei to sleep with them, but Xi Wei had to be next to his elder brother, so several of them squeezed together in the end.There is no extra bedding at home, Xiyuan and Wei Cheng share a bed, and sleep with him at night.Because of this, Xi Wei cried a lot, and wanted to share the quilt with his brother and ask him to hug him. Xiyuan had no choice but to spend a day alone, thinking that he would buy cotton and cloth for his mother to make another set of bedding when the new year was warmer. He didn't want to be squeezed with two little bastards.

Also, the house at home is too small and dilapidated. In winter, the cold wind blows in through the windows and cracks in the wall, and it is very cold. It is fine during the day, and you can burn a brazier. The tip of my nose is cold and cold, I have to try to make money to build a new house.

"Brother, brother," Xi Yuan was thinking wildly, Xi Wei was suppressed by his brother to be honest for a while, seeing that his brother ignored him, he called Xi Yuan in a low voice.

"Huh?" Xi Yuan returned to Xi Wei.

"Brother, I'll put all the leftover chicken feathers away, and you can make me a new one when this one breaks." Xi Wei also knew that the shuttlecock was made of copper coins, so he couldn't ask for more.

"Okay." Xiyuan replied sleepily.

"Brother, brother?" Seeing that his brother was going to sleep again, Xi Wei reached out and grabbed his brother's nose.

"You little bastard, you don't sleep all morning." Xi Yuan rubbed his nose against Xi Wei's face.Xi Wei giggled.

Now no one wants to sleep, grandparents are also woken up, grandpa sees that the sky outside has started to get bright, so he gets up and puts on his clothes, goes to the main room to light the stove, and puts a charcoal brazier in the back room, for a while The house started to warm up.

Grandma was also dressed at this time, and moved Xiyuan and the others to the top of the kang with all her strength. The top of the kang began to get cold in the middle of the night. Considering that her grandparents were getting older, Xiyuan insisted on sleeping at the bottom of the kang by herself.

Wei Cheng also woke up at this moment, across from Xi Wei, he reached into Xiyuan's bed, pinching Xi Yuan's arm, Xi Yuan knew that he wanted to get into his bed, and didn't want to argue with Xi Wei.Xiyuan turned over and brought Wei Cheng in with a quilt in his arms. The two quilts were folded together, and one arm was around a little bastard. It would be troublesome if there were too many younger brothers!

For breakfast, Xi Wei and Wei Cheng finally wiped out the big chicken legs.Xi Wei ran away after eating, but Xiyuan refused to ask Wei Cheng to leave the house. Wei Cheng's illness is still not recovered, and Xiyuan was afraid that he would go outside to catch the cold and cause problems again.

Boiled good medicine for Wei Cheng, watched him drink it without frowning, Xiyuan took a piece of candy, cut a small piece for Wei Cheng to put in his mouth.This was bought for Xi Wei when he was buying new year's goods, and he was going to eat it for the New Year. Now Xi Yuan secretly gave it to Wei Cheng. Fortunately, when he bought it back, Xi Wei didn't count the total. He took out the little boots he bought for him and passed them by. What happened to Wei Cheng the next day, Xi Wei never remembered.

After Wei Cheng finished eating the candy, Xiyuan played shuttlecock with him for a while, seeing that Wei Cheng's forehead was sweating a little, he hugged him and sat on the edge of the kang, and taught Wei Cheng to count with a small firewood stick.Wei Cheng is very smart, basically Xiyuan can teach him once and he can remember it, and he can learn simple addition and subtraction after only one lesson. Now he has learned better than Xi Wei.

Today is 28, and Xiyuan has to go to Dr. Li's house to get some medicine, otherwise Xiyuan feels unlucky to buy medicine just after Chinese New Year. Wei Cheng put it on the tip of his heart, thinking more about everything.

Wei Cheng left a few questions for him to calculate by himself. Xiyuan told him that he was going out for a while and asked him to wait for him at home, so he put on a cotton coat and came out of the house.

Dr. Li's home is in the middle of the village, separated by several houses, and Xiyuan would run into villagers from time to time on the road, and they would greet him warmly.Xiyuan also smiled and responded one by one. Xiyuan was not an enthusiastic person at first, but he thought that he would live here for a long time in the future, and there were Xiwei and Weicheng, so he must have a good relationship with the people in the same village.

"Xiyuan, is this going to Dr. Li's house?" an aunt surnamed Li asked Xiyuan.

"That's right, Aunt Li, what are you doing here?" Xi Yuan didn't want to say more, otherwise Wei Cheng would be involved again.Xiyuan still remembers a saying in his previous life, it seems that if you encounter a question that you are unwilling or unable to answer, the best way is to ask it back, so resolutely and thoroughly implement it.

"Ah, just now I heard that there seems to be a tofu seller at the corner behind, and I want to buy two yuan to save for the Chinese New Year." Aunt Li said to Xiyuan with a smile.Who in the village doesn't know that Xiyuan spent five taels of silver to bring Wei Cheng home, and then the child fell ill again and had to take medicine every day. No wonder.It is estimated that during the Chinese New Year this year, let alone eating tofu in the Xi family, it is hard to say whether they will be able to have a full meal.

"Then auntie, go quickly. After a while, the tofu seller will leave. You probably won't be able to buy any more." Seeing Aunt Li's expression, Xiyuan knew what she was thinking. After all, he was not a ten-year-old kid inside. Aunt Li thought that he didn't hide his expression too much when he was young.

Xiyuan walked for half a quarter of an hour before arriving at Dr. Li's house.Dr. Li's house also has three adobe houses, but the roof is not thatched but tiled.

Dr. Li has bad legs and feet, one leg is lame, and he usually walks with a cane. There was a wife at home, but two years ago, she ran away with a peddler who came to the village to sell things, and left behind a pair of children. The son is older than Xiyuan. Five years old, but a bit stunned, it's not easy, my daughter is two years younger than Xiyuan, but she is very sensible, and now she has started to help Dr. Li with the housework at home.

Xiyuan walked into the yard, shouted "Uncle Li, I'm here." He opened the door and entered the house.Xiyuan has come here often recently, so he doesn't meet with the Li family.

Wei Cheng fell ill, and the family spent money like running water. If there is any benefit, it is that Xiyuan took the opportunity to get acquainted with Dr. Li. Dr. Li is the only literate person in the village (the other is a Rizheng).

Xiyuan himself was a graduate student in his previous life, and he has been in this life for almost half a year, and he still has to pretend to be blind. Zhengchou didn't know what to do, so he happened to have a friendship with Dr. Li, and took the opportunity to buy medicine Learn to read with Dr. Li.

Doctor Li is easy to get rid of. He has no other hobbies, but he likes to drink a little wine and eat something delicious.Xiyuan does what it likes, and brings some every time I come.Today I took one of the pheasants caught yesterday and put it in a basket for Dr. Li.

But Xiyuan heard that the children here study a lot every year. Although Dr. Li did not teach him like the masters in the private school, Xiyuan is still very grateful in his heart, and he doesn’t feel bad at all for giving Dr. Li some good things. Panic.

Moreover, Dr. Li felt that Xiyuan's behavior in rescuing Wei Cheng was benevolent, and he only charged Wei Cheng's medical fees for medical treatment, and did not ask for any medical fees.

"Xiao Yuan, come in quickly, what are you taking? Don't take it next time, your family is not rich." Dr. Li was sitting in the room, and his daughter was busy eating in the kitchen for the New Year.

"Yesterday, I went to catch pheasants with my dad. I grabbed three and brought you one." Xiyuan smiled and handed the chicken over.

"You child, you only gave me one of the three." Dr. Li did not refuse, reached out to take it, turned around and handed it to the girl.

"Let me give you a taste, it's not Chinese New Year." Xiyuan said, taking out the "Three Character Classic" from Dr. Li last time, and returning it to Dr. Li.

"It will be done so soon?" Dr. Li was surprised.

"Well, I know everything. I want you to change another book and teach me." Xiyuan knew the "Three Character Classic" in his previous life, but now he just compares the words in his previous life with the words in this life to see the differences, and then Just remember the difference.

Xiyuan found that the world he traveled to now was not a dynasty in ancient China, but some things were similar to ancient China. For example, the characters here are similar to traditional Chinese characters, and many moral and legal standards are also similar.

"This is "Hundred Surnames", I will teach you the first few pages first."

Dr. Li thinks that Xiyuan is simply a child prodigy. He led Xiyuan to read the content of the book a few times, and Xiyuan can roughly remember it. The rest is to go back and learn to read.It took him several years to learn the "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Surnames", and "Thousand Character Classics", which was the result of his father forcing him with a cane.

Dr. Li's medical skills are passed down from his ancestors, and his family has several folk remedies for curing diseases. Some diseases cannot be cured in the pharmacy in the county or the town.However, when diagnosing other diseases, Dr. Li is no different from other doctors.

Xiyuan followed Dr. Li to memorize "Hundred Surnames" for a while, and helped Dr. Li with the housework for a while. There was nothing he could do. Knowing to take responsibility for the old man, but not knowing where to go early in the morning.

Dr. Li brushed the few short beards on his chin, thinking of his own bastard, his family's medical skills might be lost in his generation.Thinking of this, Dr. Li looked at Xiyuan, this kid is not bad, he is smart, kind-hearted, and courageous, so he is good to him, or...

Xiyuan didn't see that Dr. Li was having his own ideas, and after helping Dr. Li with his busy work, he took "Hundred Surnames" and said goodbye in a hurry and rushed home.

He was not at home, afraid that Wei Cheng would be uncomfortable at home alone, Xiyuan was thinking about it.
