self-made god

"Oh, I know."

Seeing Chen Ju away with his eyes, Xia Mu could only turn on the TV in a foolish way, but it was a pity that there were not many TV sets in the countryside, and he even brought snowflakes.While looking at it, his mind was distracted. As for what kind of god he came to, Xia Sen said that he didn't know.

But it is for sure, Xia Mu's mind is not on the TV at all.Grandma Xia has been busy in the kitchen and can't take care of him at all.Just when Xia Mu was so bored that he was about to mold, Xia Meng and his son came.

"Huh? Uncle Yu, are you and Brother Meng here?"

Still holding something in hand.

"Xiao Mumu, the uncle came today to ask you something!"

Xia Meng's father put the bacon and sausages on the table in his hands. This is the only thing at home. Xia Meng said that the bacon in Sichuan province is rare outside, so today he brought a large piece of bacon and six Cut the sausage over here.

"Master, just tell me what you have to do! Take these things back, it's too extravagant."

Xia Mu looked at the things on the table, and he actually guessed a little bit about the two people's intentions. It's just that this matter is easy to discuss, but the things can't be accepted.

"No, no, we have something to ask, how can we come empty-handed!"

Xia Meng's father is an authentic peasant family. When he invites someone to do something, he has to give gifts. Generally, he will not give expensive things as gifts. Basically, the peasants can get them out by themselves.After all, if you ask someone to help you with something, you can't ask others to help you for nothing!If the matter is completed, another gift will be given afterwards, and the weight of this gift depends on the family's family background.Those who are good can give more, and those who are bad can take home-produced things, such as eggs and bacon, whatever.

"Master, I really can't accept this thing. If I really want to accept something that is easy to do, my father will cut me later."

Xia's father and Xia Meng's father grew up together, and their relationship is very good, but he arranged a job, and he really accepted the bacon and sausages. Xia's father will definitely say that he is ignorant, and he will accept everything from the uncle .

"Xiao Mumu, we don't tell you why Xia Meng and I came here, but we don't believe you. We won't take this thing back. You just tell the uncle a word, okay?"

Xia Meng's father also had his own insistence. Originally, he wanted to bring the children over last night, but then he thought that there were guests at Xia's house at night, and it was not good for them to come.This morning they came to Grandpa Xia's house several times, just to see if Xia Mu was at home, and finally when it was the fourth time, the father and son came to the door with gifts non-stop.

"Okay, why not. At that time, little brother Meng can just come. Anyway, I have to recruit people. Little brother Meng is my brother, so I must give this face! But there is one thing to say, you can't be lazy and play tricks, Otherwise, I can only ask Brother Meng to find another job."

Xia Mu agreed to this matter, but there are also prerequisites, otherwise, if Xia Meng uses his identity as Xia Mu's cousin to do things carelessly, if something happens, he will lead the wolf into the house.

"Don't worry, little wood, I will definitely do a good job."

Xia Meng patted himself on the chest, he can find a job at the door of his house, if he doesn't work hard, how can he be worthy of trusting his little wood, and after being fired, it will be difficult for him to find such a good job close to home .As for the tiring work of doing farm work, he thinks it is not a problem at all. Who would not dare to do farm work if he grew up in the countryside? What would he eat if he didn't do farm work!

"Then that's fine, take this thing back!"

Xia Mu sat far away from the table and couldn't move, otherwise he could lift things back to their hands.

"No, no, this is a small thought from us. If you don't accept the little wood, how can my family, Xia Meng, have the nerve to go to work on your farm!"

From the very beginning, Xia Mu accepted and would recruit some experienced migrant workers. Although Xia Meng can also work, he is far from experienced. Xia Mu agreeing to this matter today is almost equivalent to opening the back door for Xia Meng. Xia Meng’s father He still plans to go back and get some yellow meal to give to Xia Mu, so how can he bring these bacon back.

"Master~"

"Don't talk about it, little wood, let's leave it like this! Xia Meng and I went back. After your feet are healed, you can see what Xia Meng is suitable for. Just say it, and I will send him there."

Xia Menghui reached out to stop what Xia Mu was going to say, and you can't take it back if you ask someone to give you a gift, otherwise, who will do things according to the rules after too many times, if you ask people to help for nothing every time, the person who helps after a long time should feel bad It's comfortable, after all, it's not that I owe the other party anything, it's annoying to always take advantage of it like this.So in the countryside, you can't afford much money, but if someone helps you, even if it's a meal, you should pay for it. Otherwise, why should they help you in the future?No one wants to help a white-eyed wolf!

Xia Mu could only helplessly watch the father and son leave, and the bacon and sausages were placed on the table.

In fact, he had noticed Xia Meng's thoughts as early as a few days ago, but he didn't know whether the other party's thoughts were firm enough, so he didn't mention this matter, and wanted to wait for Xia Meng to mention it himself, and then he would just agree to it.Unexpectedly, Xia Meng and his son would come to the door with bacon, and even declared that it was a thank you gift.

It's normal for rural people to give thank you gifts to those who help. Xia Mu doesn't think this thing is good enough, but Xia Meng's family is actually living a normal life. Now that Xia Meng is divorced and his wife ran away, Assistant Tan has already inquired clearly. up.Not to mention that the two often play together, it is said that the life of Xia Meng's family is not easy now.Although Xia Meng has been working outside for several years, his wife is very good at spending money. After several years, Xia Meng didn't save a penny, but in the end his wife ran away with other men.

Now Xia Meng's parents can still work, and they will not be able to do it in a few years. Everything in this family has to be on the shoulders of the Xia family alone. At that time, the life of Xia Meng's family will definitely be more difficult than Luo. How can I bear to accept gifts from his family.

It's just that they won't feel comfortable if they don't accept such a big debt from others.Once he figured it out, Xia Mu didn't bother with the bacon anymore. Anyway, he agreed and gave him a gift, so he paid back the favor.You know, the hardest thing in this world to repay is a favor.

Grandma Xia stewed the meat in the pot, and when she came out, she saw bacon and sausages on the table.

"Who sent this?"

Grandma Xia was in the kitchen. When cooking, she was afraid that the smoke would reach the living room, so she closed the door between the kitchen and the living room, so she didn't even know that Xia Meng and his son had come.

"Little brother Meng and the uncle are here."

Xia Mu told Grandma Xia about the matter, causing her to sigh.

"Mengzi is also a hard-working person. He finally married a wife but ran away. We guessed it when he came back alone. Although he never said it, there have been several incidents in our village where his wife ran away. Yes, as long as you think of it, there is no one who doesn't understand."

Xia Mu knew that the people Granny Xia mentioned were that their wives just went out to work, and then they never came back, and they didn't even want their children.Compared to them, Xia Meng and Meizi still have no children, otherwise Xia Meng's life would be even more difficult.

The few families in the village whose daughters-in-law ran away did not find another one because their families were poor and had children with them. The children also had a hard life because they had no mother. They didn’t even have anyone to wash and cook. After school, others eat as soon as they come home, and they have to wash the rice and cook by themselves. After they finish eating, it’s time for school, and there is no time to take a break at noon. When they come back at night, they have to cut pigweed and cut cow grass. In the worst years, Xia Mu was not as miserable as they were, because no matter how hard it was, there were still parents supporting him.And as the youngest, he has brothers and sisters above him, so the hardship is a bit bitter in eating and dressing, and the other Xia Mu really don't feel bitter.

"Help if you can. The people in Xiashang Village are all descended from the same ancestor. Although the blood relationship is far away, you also grew up together. At least it will not be so hard for that child."

Grandma Xia is full of sympathy for Xia Meng, not only because his wife ran away, but also because of Xia Meng's future.A divorced man, his family is not very rich, and he has to support two older ones, and now the girl is very picky, it will be very difficult for Xia Meng to find another one, especially since he has no son, those who are divorced cannot have children Certainly can not find, so the difficulty has increased.

Now it is really not easy for men in the countryside to find a wife. There are too few women who can endure hardships. Otherwise, many of them will be like Xia Meng's ex-wife Meizi. Once they see the prosperity of the city, they will find another way out.There are too few women who can live a down-to-earth life, and those who are not down-to-earth will only disturb the whole house.

"I know grandma. Why does it smell like paste?" Xia Mu sniffed it.

"Hey, my food."

Grandma Xia grabbed her thigh and ran to the kitchen.

"Tsk tsk, I don't know if the dishes we ate at noon today will have crispy rice." Xia Mu shrugged, the old man forgot all the dishes in the pot when he talked to him, and when grandpa found out later, he should say that grandma is forgetful.

Originally, Xia Mu wanted to keep this matter a secret, but grandma herself said something wrong, so grandpa quarreled with her.

"what happened?"

As soon as Chen Ju came back, he saw bacon and sausages on the dining table, while grandpa and grandma didn't look at each other, and Xia Mu stroked his forehead.

"Grandpa and grandma, stop bickering, Ah Ju has already returned, can we have lunch?"

Old children, old children, older children.The two old people, both of whom are over 150 years old together, like to compete in trivial matters. It is obviously just a problem of burnt food. Why do grandparents still quarrel?

Xia Mu, who didn't think much about it, reminded grandpa and grandma that there are still guests at home!

"Oh yes, I'm going to serve the dishes." Grandma immediately forgot that she was still vomiting with grandpa and went into the kitchen.And Grandpa also began to rehang the bacon and sausages in the storage room, which was already full of sausages and bacon.Grandpa killed a pig this year to make bacon, half of which will be given to Dad Xia and the others, and the other half will be eaten at home.

As a native of Shu Province, if there is no bacon at home, it can hardly be called Chinese New Year.And Xia Mu's hometown is especially numerous. Basically, when it's time to smoke bacon, white smoke can be seen floating in the sky outside, covering the entire sky.

In the past, every household could only cut some meat for smoking. Now that they have a good life, they raise their own pigs, and they don’t sell the pigs they raise. They save them and make them into bacon. They have every part, which is much richer than before.

At noon today, Grandma Xia cut a plate of cured pork liver, which happened to be Xia Mu's favorite.Grandma Xia makes it every year, and then asks Xia Mu to eat it for Xia Mu.In addition to bacon, there are also braised pork and fatty sausage with pickled peppers, which Grandma Xia asked her aunt to buy back for her.After the big aunt bought it, she cleaned it for Grandma Xia, and directly frozen it in the refrigerator. When Grandma Xia wanted to eat it, she took it out, thawed it out, cut it up and fried it.Then there is a plate of green vegetables and an egg drop soup, and the lunch for four people is ready.

Although there are only five dishes and one soup, the servings of dishes in rural areas are one-third more than those in cities, so these five dishes are enough for four people.

The four meat dishes were all Xia Mu's favorites. Chen Ju couldn't help swallowing when he saw the oily but fragrant dishes.

"These meats are all native pork, which is much more fragrant than the native pork of feed pigs. Try it."

Xia Mu put a piece of braised braised in Chen Ju's bowl.

"Yeah, it's delicious~"

Chen Ju took a bite, it was fat but not greasy, the taste was so delicious that he almost swallowed his own tongue.No wonder so many people love local pork, it tastes much better than the feed pork usually bought in the market.Although his farm also feeds pigs, it feels inferior to the local pork fed by this kind of farmer. It is obviously fed with grain and pig grass?

"I remember it was okay before. Basically, the pork I bought was local pork, unlike the feed pork I buy now. It grows fast, but the meat is not delicious."

Grandma Xia shook her head when she mentioned the pork bought in the market. They rarely buy those people. They usually go to acquaintances to buy local pork. Now many farmers have a better life and are willing to buy meat back.So the pig butcher in their village specializes in buying native pigs. He kills one every day, and everyone he knows will go to him to buy it. Sometimes one pig is not enough to buy, which shows that more people eat meat now.

"No way, native pigs grow slowly, unlike feed pigs, they can be sold in a few months."

Xia Mu took a bite of the braised pork and served it with a bite of rice, which was even better than the craftsmanship of famous chefs in big hotels.

"However, feed pork is cheaper than native pork, and it takes too long for native pigs to be marketed and cannot keep up with demand."

Chen Ju had already eaten a big bowl of rice, so he added another bowl of rice.He suspects that if this continues, the six-unit stock on his body will soon turn into a small belly, and he doesn't know if Xiaomu still loves him at that time.

"There is no way around it. One is cheap, the other is that the time is short, and the other is that it is cheaper to feed."

Because Xia Mu’s farm also needs to raise pigs, he made a special investigation. The cost of pigs fed with grain pig grass is much higher than that of feed. What a deal!Earn less money.

"Xiaomu, when did you start raising pigs on the farm?"

Chen Ju ate the second bowl more slowly.

"The house for raising pigs has been built and sterilized. Fifty pigs will be transported in the beginning of spring, and another [-] pigs will be sent to the pig farm every month. By the end of next year, there will be more pigs almost every month." The pigs are out."

Xia Mu decided to hand over the work of the pig farm to Xia Meng and his son, and hired two more helpers.

"Is it all fed with hogweed?"

"Well, when they were young, they would cook some grain, and after about a month, they would all be fed with a mixture of pigweed and chaff."

There are also sweet potatoes. It just so happens that people in the village grow a lot of them every year. The pigs they raise at home can’t be eaten up. Xiamu can buy them, and then add them from the manor. The pigs on the farm should not be short of food. Besides, there is still alfalfa. !It is dried in the sun and used as fodder in winter.

"I took a look at your farm today. It is much bigger than the one I had in the suburbs of Beijing. The three mountains! I thought it was huge when I saw the photos before. I didn't expect that after seeing it with my own eyes, just walking around the three mountains About an hour."

Chen Ju was really shocked today. Yesterday in the car, he found that there are many mountains in Xiaomu's hometown, one after another, continuous, undulating, ups and downs, it looks like a mountain from a close distance, but it is still a mountain from a distance.

There is dry land on the mountain, and paddy fields below the mountain, layer upon layer, with a special rural and pastoral scenery.

"We don't have many things here, but there are many mountains. But my grandmother's side is relatively better. There are more plains, and the place where they live is relatively low. Once the water rises, many fields will be flooded."

The terrain on their side is relatively high, and no matter how high the water rises, the fields will rarely be flooded.Anyway, Xia Mu has never seen a flooded field when the water rises every summer. Compared with other places, their geographical location is very good, the only downside is that it is a bit out of the way.

"The people on our side should live on the mountainside! The mountain is divided into three layers. The fields are all in the middle of the mountain. And then half of the mountain down is another layer of paddy fields, all the way to the river under the ravine."

The terrain of their place is a bit strange in Xia Mu's words, there are many mountains, and the place where people live is not the foot of the mountain, but the middle of the mountain.It's like a very big mountain with several branches, and those branches are the mountains surrounded by Xia Muta now.

"There are so many paddy fields here. I can see that there are rice stumps left after the rice was cut in the fields. Where does the water come from?"

There are not only paddy fields, but also dry fields. Many dry fields are still on the mountainside, so it is a bit unrealistic to pump water from the river. Even if it is pumped, it will take several pumps for several days and nights. So many dry fields use water.

"Every year when it's time to plant rice seedlings, we will have Shengzhong water coming down here. We built a canal here in the 90s. Since then, there will be no shortage of water for planting rice seedlings every year. Unlike before, we either pumped from the river or plowed the fields before the heavy rain. , and then block all the gaps in the field to stop the rainwater in the field."

It's just that if there is little rain that spring, you can only carry or pump water.Their village is not bad, and the groundwater is relatively rich. In the surrounding villages, some people always get sick after the busy farming season.

"Farmers work really hard."

Chen Ju himself had never experienced such hardships, but after seeing the farmers in Xia Mu's hometown with his own eyes, he was very impressed with the phrase, "When we hoe the grain at noon, sweat drips down the ground." ' With a deeper understanding.

"So don't waste food!"

Farmers hate others wasting food the most. As long as the leftovers at home can be preserved, they will never throw them away, because for farmers, a bowl of rice is planted by them. What is wasted is not only food, but also food. And their blood and sweat.

"I never waste food."

Chen Ju showed Xia Mu the empty bowl. Although he didn't understand the hard work of farmers, under the guidance of Mr. Chen and his parents, Chen Ju never wasted food, even if he was worth tens of billions.Compared with those rich people who order a table of dishes and don't even taste a bite, there are very few rich people like Chen Ju.

"Xiao Chen, do you want to have another bowl?"

Grandma Xia looked at Chen Ju's empty bowl enthusiastically. Grandma Xia liked this kind of guy who didn't waste food the most.

"No grandma, I'm full."

Chen Ju rubbed his belly, feeling a little bit upset.I don't know why, I always feel that Xia's food is better than what he usually cooks, and I ate two big bowls of rice without knowing it, and there are so many dishes.

"Don't be polite to grandma!"

Seeing that he refused, Grandma Xia didn't force it. Even if Chen Ju was not full with her grandson, she wouldn't just watch the guests go hungry, and she didn't seem polite when she saw Chen Ju.

"Grandma, I won't be polite."

Chen Ju nodded with a smile, this Xia family is also his home, he will not be polite to anyone but his family members!

"Grandma, don't worry about him, he knows he's hungry."

Xia Mu finished a large bowl of rice slowly, and added another half bowl to be [-]% or [-]% full. When he felt that it was almost done, he put down the bowl and chopsticks.

"Watch TV for a while! Take a break before going to lunch break."

Going to bed right after a full meal is not good for your body.

"it is good."

Chen Ju smiled at Grandma Xia and Grandpa Xia, and helped Xia Mu to watch TV under their gaze.

Grandma Xia and Grandpa Xia eat slowly. Chen Ju and Xia Mu eat one bowl of rice. I was only half full, so I had to eat another bowl.

Just after they finished eating, Xia Mu and Chen Ju had already gone to take a lunch break.Originally, Chen Ju wanted to help Grandma Xia wash the dishes, but she sternly refused. To Grandma Xia, Chen Ju was a guest, and it was fine for Xia Mu to help her with the washing. This was his grandson, but Chen Ju couldn't act like his own grandson. Called like that, what is one's own person and what is an outsider?The old man is very clear.

Facing the old man with such a clear distinction, Chen Ju almost shed a few tears.He is really not an outsider, but an insider.

Seeing this, Xia Mu almost couldn't help laughing.

"It will be fine in the future."

I can only comfort Chen Ju in this way, the main reason is that I can't tell the Xia family honestly now, otherwise Chen Ju will lose his identity as a guest and will be kicked out by the Xia family.

"Why do I feel like you're gloating?"

Chen Ju narrowed his eyes, put his hand under Xia Mu's armpit and threatened.

"No, you heard it wrong."

Xia Mu didn't want Chen Ju to yell at him, his foot was injured and he couldn't run, it was no different from catching a turtle in a jar.

"is it?"

Do not believe.

"Yes."

Very sure tone.

"Forget it~"

Xiaomu's foot is still injured, so he has to wait for his foot to heal before making trouble. If he goes too far and accidentally touches something that makes Xiaomu's foot injury worse, it will be too late for him to regret that he doesn't know the severity.

"Hehe, Ah Ju is the best." He hugged Chen Ju's neck with both hands and rubbed his chest. The person who got cheap and behaved was talking about the current Xia Mu.

Although Chen Ju's face is full of helplessness, his eyes are full of smiles, which shows that he still enjoys his lover's rare dependence and trust in his heart.

Because he knew that he would not do anything to him, Xia Mu dared to climb on Chen Ju's head again and again.

"Should I be pushing my limits like this?"

Xia Mu had a bitter face, he had been doted on by Chen Ju all the time, his mental age was almost the same as that of a three-year-old child.

"No, because I like to see you arrogantly climbing on top of my head, and it's fine for you to do so."

Rely on yourself a little more, so that Xiaomu will not leave him in the future.Chen Ju is willing to spoil Xia Mu, but he just wants him to rely on him more, it is best to rely on him until he can't live without him, so Xiao Mu can't do without him.This is Chen Ju's conspiracy. He wants Xia Mu to stand by his side for the rest of his life.

After Xia Mu heard this, a slight smile rose from the corner of his mouth, what more could a husband ask for if he had such a lover?

"Ah Ju, go and have a look, it will be bad for grandpa to be hit by a pig at such an old age!"

Xia Mu was dressed in old clothes, and with his sleeves rolled up, he carried a pile of firewood to Grandma Xia who was boiling water.Their family killed pigs for the New Year, and Grandma Xia raised two pigs, one was killed to make bacon, and the other was killed on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month for the New Year.

"I know, you should pay attention to yourself, your foot injury is not completely healed yet!"

Chen Ju was also wearing old clothes, which belonged to Xia Shu, a set of loose sportswear, which he couldn't wear Xia Mu's.

"I know, you go!"

Chen Ju has lived in Xia's house for a month, and the two of them finally moved into their own home just the day before yesterday.On the bright side, there are two rooms on the second floor of the main courtyard, one for Xia Mu and the other for Chen Ju.But in fact Xia Mu and Chen Ju live together, the other room is just a cover-up, there is an invisible door between the two rooms, no one knows except Xia Mu and Chen Ju.As for the person who decorated it was found by Chen Ju, they will not reveal it.

Seeing that Chen Ju was helping out like ordinary rural youths, Xia Mu felt a little distressed, but there was nothing he could do, the manpower was really tight today.Moreover, Chen Ju also wanted to show more performance in front of the Xia family, so as to gain a good impression of him.

"Grandma, is this firewood enough?"

Xia Mu put the firewood beside Grandma Xia, the water in the pot was already boiling, Xia Mu added some more and continued to boil.

"Amu, sit here and warm yourself by the fire. It's been a bit cold these two days. You can't catch a cold."

Grandma Xia dragged her little grandson to sit next to her, and all the children of Xia's family came back, including Xia's father and Xia's mother.This time, I am not worried that there is no place to live. As soon as Uncle Xia’s children come back from the New Year’s Eve, Grandma Xia’s house will be full. Let the family have no place to live when the child comes back!What's more, there are grandson-in-law and great-grandson!

So every Chinese New Year, Dad Xia's family doesn't live at Grandma Xia's house, and Shou Sui also stays at his home in the city.

Today is different. The house Xia Mu is going to build can be occupied two days ago. Xia's father and mother moved into the small courtyard on the right as soon as they came back, including Xia Shu and Xia Wei's couple who lived in that small courtyard.

This year, not only the Xia family went back to the countryside for the New Year, but even Mr. Chen and Chen Yuan's family of three also came over yesterday.This was the first time that the Chen family did not celebrate the New Year in the capital, but came to this remote countryside.The aristocratic family in the capital was still very surprised after knowing that the Chen family would not hold a banquet this year. It was not until the news that Mr. Chen was going to the hometown of Chen Ju's partner to celebrate the New Year that everyone suddenly realized that he was going to his in-law's house.

And now Chen Kun and his wife are not in the mood to stay and decide everything around them, so they don't even know that Mr. Chen is not in the capital this year.Chen Kun was eager to take advantage of the Chinese New Year to fill in the loopholes he had made, soliciting investors everywhere.Because Ms. Wei was thrown out, the Wei family was also angry at Chen Kun's concealment, so they withdrew their investment. Now that the project is a third of the way, they have all stopped without funds. The project will be unfinished, let alone his political achievements, whether he can even keep his current official position is still a question.

This investor was brought in by him, and this development was also proposed by him, and the result has become like this, Chen Kun is unable to explain.The youngest son refused to agree no matter what he said, and even the Wei family knew that he was hiding things from them. Chen Ju didn't even admit that the young lady of the Wei family he was looking for was his fiancée. There is no way.

What can he say?It is true that Chen Ju is his son, but in name Chen Ju is only his nephew, and he absolutely did not intervene in his nephew's marriage as an uncle when his grandfather was still alive.Even though many people know it in private, Chen Kun still needs to cover it up on the surface!

He was so dragged by the project that he couldn't leave. During the Chinese New Year, he naturally didn't know that there was no one in the Chen family, not even Chen Ju and Chen Yuan brothers were in the capital.I called back on New Year's Eve, but no one answered.Then they called the mobile phones of Chen Yuan and Chen Ju brothers. When they saw that it was Chen Kun's number, they pressed it without hesitation.

They can't make Chen Kun feel sick during the Chinese New Year, otherwise this year will be uncomfortable.It is rare to have to look at the faces of Chen Kun and his wife during Chinese New Year, neither Chen Ju nor Chen Yuan want to think about them again.

"Grandpa, quick, quick, the butcher's dish is ready." As soon as the banquet was set, Chen Yuan dragged Mr. Chen, who was bragging with others, back to the house.He hasn't eaten this pig-killing dish yet, and he has been thinking about it since last night.

Xia Mu's hometown also has pig-killing dishes, but it's not for the whole village to eat, but for those who help and those who are close to his family to eat.There are pig blood, pig liver, pig lung, etc. on the banquet, as well as large pieces of twice-cooked pork and braised pork, and then thick soup boiled with tube bones. This is a very rich table in the countryside.

Mr. Chen, Grandpa Xia, Grandma Xia and some of their elders stayed in the house to eat, and there were three other tables on the ground outside. Chen Yuan's family sat with Chen Juyan and Xia's family. Sitting on the right is Chen Yuan's son.

"Uncle Xiaomu, I want to eat twice-cooked pork."

Chen Yuan's son is called Chen Tianbao, after Mr. Chen's son, and his nickname is Baobao.

"Sit down with your bag, uncle will hold it for you."

The twice-cooked pork is made of pepper, which is not spicy at all, and the twice-cooked pork made from this kind of local pork is very fragrant, so it is no wonder that Bao Bao likes it.

"Thank you, Uncle Xiaomu."

Bao Bao liked Xia Mu very much the first time he saw him. Children are very sensitive. He knows who is good to him and who is not good to him. He will instinctively get close to people who are good to him.

"What else do you want to eat? Tell Uncle Xiaomu, Uncle will help you."

"That~"

Bao Bao pointed to the fried braised pork, which was brightly colored and children liked it.

"it is good."

Xia Mu picked up braised pork again, and of course he didn’t forget to put another piece of fish with thorns in the bag. This fish was ordered by Xia Mu from the fisherman in the village in the afternoon. There is a river below their village. There are a lot of fish, but it is more difficult to catch.Only those who specialize in fishing can catch big fish from the river, and others can only use fishing.As for the size, it depends on luck.

"Uncle Xiaomu, this meat is really delicious."

Except for the meat sent by the second uncle, Baobao usually doesn't touch any other pork.But the meat eaten at Uncle Xiaomu's and grandpa's house today whetted Baobao's appetite.The meat I ate before, especially lean meat, always tasted tasteless and not tasty at all.But today's meat is very fragrant, even if it is fatty meat, it will not be greasy.

"That is, so you have to eat more."

Chen Ju picked up a piece of pork liver for his nephew. The Chen family seldom eat these internal organs, but once in a while, they feel quite good.

"it is good."

I also like my uncle's bag, the only bad thing is that my uncle Chen Ju always likes to tease him, every time he likes to make fun of his bag, crying to find his mother.

As soon as Chen Yuan and his wife saw someone babysitting for them, the couple immediately immersed themselves in eating hard. Such authentic farm food is usually not available, but today Uncle Wangcai is in charge. Although it is not as good as his vegetarian food, the farm food He is also very authentic. Usually everyone has already drank wine, but today everyone didn't care about the wine. They all put food in the bowl one by one, afraid that if they moved too slowly, the food would be eaten by others.

Although the rural areas do not say that they only eat meat once a month, they do not even eat meat only once a year like before.But they don’t eat meat every day, so it’s rare to have a full meal. Of course, it’s impossible for everyone to pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelon.Anyway, wine doesn't run away, and it's the same if you drink after eating, and it's not easy to get drunk.

"Brother Chen, this is your first visit to Xiashang Village, and we have nothing to entertain you. We can only invite you to taste these farmhouse specialties. If you like it, you can eat more. If you don't like it Please don't be disgusted either."

Grandpa Xia raised his glass to toast Chen Lao.

"Where do you dislike it? This is a good thing! I also survived the hard times. I still remember that when I was a child, what I wanted to eat most was a bowl of braised pork. Unfortunately, after my family improved, no matter how much braised pork I wanted. That bowl gave me a taste of what I remember today."

The chefs at home are very skilled, but they are just too good. The seasonings and ingredients used in each dish are all the best, but this kind of food is less authentic and more crafty. It is delicious. It's delicious, but it can't make people feel happy from the bottom of their hearts, and it's never beautiful.

"Brother, let's eat more today. The dishes on our table are cooked by my nephew. Although the dishes are the same, they are much less greasy, and the elderly can eat them. There are also a few vegetarian dishes on the table, which can be used Come to relieve the boredom."

Pointing to the few vegetarian dishes in the middle, Wangcai made them specially for them. It's not good to be too old, too greasy food will hurt your health.

"Okay, I can't wait."

A table of old people chatted while eating, and also recalled the past and talked about the hard work of those years.When it comes to the emotional part, I can't help but turn red eyes. After all, the life in those few years was really hard. It's nothing to eat and wear warm. What's really scary is how to protect my family under the war Dodge the army pull strong men.

Speaking of the past, the old people shed tears one by one. Some of them lost their relatives in that war. In fact, Old Chen seemed to be the most impressed.Although he didn't lose his relatives, he watched his brothers-in-arms die one by one in front of him, and many of them couldn't even find their bodies after the battle, because their bodies were blasted into pieces by the cannon I can't even fight it back, so I don't know whose it is!

The old man talked about ancient times, and he couldn't finish talking for three days and three nights.Fortunately, their eating speed is not slow. One person speaks and the other listens and eats. When the other speaks, the others listen and eat. After a round, everyone is full.

"Uncle Wangcai."

Xia Mu walked up the mountain with a pot of pig's blood. Uncle Wangcai ate a few casually after cooking and returned to the temple. have to guard.

"Didn't I say you don't need to take it?"

In the temple, Uncle Wangcai seldom eats meat, especially on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year.

"It's not the first or fifteenth day of the lunar new year. I know you like to eat pig blood, so I just took a pot and cooked it for you. I wanted you to come to my house for the New Year, but you said you would not go to the temple, so you didn't allow me." Bring you some food!"

Xia Mu has already made an agreement with Uncle Wang Cai that he will learn to cook vegetarian dishes from him after the Chinese New Year.I wanted to learn it a long time ago, but I never had the time.When the farm was almost busy, he sprained his foot again, so it was delayed until the next year.
