The peasant boy of crossing

Early the next morning, Mother Li woke up.

Fetching water, watering vegetables, and preparing for the whole day's work.

Normally, Li Xinyi would also help with some work, but since he fell from the tree last time, Li's mother only let him sit and recuperate, and he did not need to touch some physical work.

When he was free, he taught him how to do needlework and sew socks.

It is said that it is to exercise the flexibility of his hands, so as not to heal his injuries.

Li Xinyi felt that Li's mother was worried that he would not be able to paint after his hand injury, so he could support himself by learning a little needlework.

There seems to be something wrong.

After one night, the dough has almost fermented.

After a while, you just need to break and knead the dough repeatedly. When it is almost firm, pull out the dough one by one and roll out the dough.

The next step is to make the stuffing.

Whether the buns are good or not, the dough should not have an alkaline taste, the filling is the key to the taste.

Theoretically speaking, what ingredients to use for fillings depends entirely on personal preference, as long as you like to eat, there is nothing you can't put.Vegetables, fruits, seafood and mountain products, deliciousness comes from practice.

However, Li Xinyi and Li's mother were not the only ones who ate the buns this time.

So he could only obediently carry the cowpeas, eggplants, cucumbers, loofahs, etc. in the bamboo basket to the well, and took a kitchen knife to peel the two melons by the way.

At this time, Li Xinyi misses the magical vegetable tomato.

In the early morning, the sun has not yet appeared.

This is the most comfortable time in summer.

Farmers are used to plowing before dawn, and when the sun rises, they go home with their hoes and have breakfast.

Some people will continue to work in the fields after breakfast, while others will stay at home to raise silkworms, spin cloth, and weave hemp.When the sun rises higher, you can dry corn kernels, wheat grains, beans and millet.

In short, they are both leisurely and busy.

At this time, three women were already sitting by the well washing clothes.

"Shua hua hua" and "swipe swipe", the movements are neat and consistent.

Li Xinyi, who was carrying a bamboo basket to wash vegetables, had no choice but to bite the bullet and get up there.

"Hey, boy Li, come and wash the vegetables." An aunt Qin greeted Li Xinyi, but her hands kept moving.

"Well, let's wash the vegetables." Li Xinyi made a shy look.

"Nong can't speak so softly, she's hard of hearing, so she can't hear so softly." It was Second Aunt Qin who spoke.their husbands are from the same family

Li Xinyi: "..."

How should he pick it up?

"Boy Li, speak louder and tougher, otherwise the little girl will look down on you." Aunt Qin said.

Li Xinyi: "..."

As long as Wu Su likes it.

"How about the rouge you bought last time, did the girl accept it?" Second Aunt Qin asked.

Li Xinyi: "..."

It's been so long since the matter of Rouge, it's still not over yet.

He pretended not to hear, carried a bucket of water in a bucket, and concentrated on washing his vegetables.

These vegetables are freshly picked by Li's mother. They are tender, fresh and very beautiful.

"Boy Li is so handsome, there's no girl who wouldn't love him." Second Aunt Qin said, casting a glance at Third Aunt Qin who had been silent all this time.

"If you are handsome but you can't be eaten, a man must look like a man. What does a sissy look like?" Aunt Qin's voice was very bright, and her tone was full of dissatisfaction.

Li Xinyi couldn't hold back, and frowned.

This Aunt Qin should be alluding to Third Aunt Qin's son——Brother Qin Hu

Brother Qin Hu is also a celebrity in Wutong Village. Don't look at the "tiger" in his name, but Brother Hu likes to wear flowers on his head and brightly colored skirts since he was a child.

Adults are sometimes bored and will dress a boy as a girl.

Children are called cute when they are young, and they are called sissy when they grow up.

The more Li Xinyi thought about it, the more she frowned, thinking, let's go to you.

At this time, Third Aunt Qin, who hadn't said a word from the beginning to the end, stood up, hoisted a bucket of water from the well, and walked in front of Aunt Qin.

Aunt Qin: "???"

There was a splash, and a whole bucket of water was poured on Aunt Qin's head.

It's really cool, and my heart is flying.

Early in the morning, Li Xinyi witnessed a big scene of sister-in-law tearing each other up, which was unexpected.

He quietly moved himself back to avoid being accidentally injured.

"Wang Pingfei! You are crazy!"

Aunt Qin didn't expect that this woman, who had always been taciturn, would get a big blow as soon as she exploded.

The clothes in summer are thin, and Aunt Qin's curves can be regarded as "showing off her curves" after pouring this bucket of water.

But she was already so angry that she couldn't care about it at all, and reached out to tear Aunt Qin's clothes and hair.

How dangerous it is to tear apart the fight by the well, Li Xinyi saw the two women getting more and more violent, and quickly persuaded: "Aunts, calm down, and talk if you have something to say."

Aunt Qin next to her looked like she was trying to persuade the fight, but she was actually fanning the flames everywhere.

"Sister-in-law, Nong's words are too unpleasant, your clothes are all wet, let's calm down."

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law has to save face in front of outsiders. How can she splash water?"

As he spoke, he reached out and patted their respective shoulders.

It's just that Aunt Qin and Third Aunt Qin are tearing each other apart, and they are opponents except themselves.

Then they all stretched out their hands and pushed the extra hands away—the Second Aunt Qin fell into the well.

Li Xinyi: "..."

"Someone fell into the well!"

Aunt Qin and Aunt Qin, who were pulling hair and tearing clothes, made a big battle.

As soon as Aunt Qin fell into the well here, someone quickly helped her there.

Everyone stepped forward one after another, only to see Second Aunt Qin desperately clinging to the wall of the well, but she hadn't sunk yet.

They quickly lowered the bucket, and together they fished up Second Aunt Qin.

Li Xinyi was dumbfounded.

The brothers of the Qin family have been called back. The scene is comparable to a vegetable market, and Li Xinyi's forehead hurts from hearing it.

The well water was temporarily unusable, so he had no choice but to carry the basket and go home to continue washing.

After washing the vegetables and scraping off the skin, the next step is to dice these vegetables.

While cutting vegetables mechanically, Li Xinyi told Mother Li what happened just now.

After hearing this, Mother Li kneaded the dough with a calm face.

This made Li Xinyi feel a little gossip.

"Aniang, why don't you say a word?" Li Xinyi asked.

"There's nothing to say about that." Mother Li said.

"That Aunt Qin spoke too badly, and then she was splashed with water. There was also the second Aunt Qin, who kept picking things to watch the fun, but she saw herself in the well. As for the third Aunt Qin, when she was a child, Dress up your son as a girl, but don't let others call him a sissy when he grows up." Li Xinyi said.

"There's a lot to talk about."

"Everyone has their own fate, you just need to live your life well." Mother Li said.

After cutting the vegetables, Li Xinyi put the diced vegetables into a basin, then fished out the bacon cut earlier from the water, and began to cut the diced meat.

Mother Li sprinkled the minced ginger, minced garlic and shallots into the vegetable bowl, and then cracked three eggs into it to make the filling even.

Li Xinyi was cutting diced bacon, and asked Li's mother, "Aniang, what do you think of Brother Qin Hu?"

Mother Li was stunned for a moment, but without speaking, she took the rolling pin aside and began to roll out the skin of the buns.

"Auntie?"

"What do you think? If he wants to walk this path, he must be prepared to be said."

Li Xinyi was silent.

Even though Li's mother is like his mother in his previous life, she is still a real person living in this time and space.

Some things cannot be said casually, and some things cannot be done casually.

Although Mother Li will be tolerant in the end, Li Xinyi doesn't want to break her heart easily.

After a while, Mother Li said: "If my son is a sissy, I will raise him as a daughter."

Li Xinyi: "..."

"Aniang, your son is an upright man. If you want a daughter, you can only adopt him."

Why is he so sissy? This must be refuted.

After he finished speaking, he was startled by what he had just said, and immediately fidgeted.

There is no daughter-in-law, but son-in-law can have half of each son-in-law.

Fortunately, Li's mother didn't mention anything about raising a daughter-in-law. She just said: "It's enough to worry about raising you alone. Whether you want a younger brother or a younger sister, you can raise it yourself."

Li Xinyi smiled dryly: "What A Niang said is exactly."

Making buns is a technical job.

After rolling out the dough, Mother Li held the skin with her left hand, put in the stuffing with her right hand, turned her left palm, and pinched the pleats with her right hand. In less than ten seconds, a delicate and exquisite bun was formed.

"Aniang, you are so skillful! How did you do it!" Li Xinyi exclaimed.

"You can open a steamed stuffed bun shop with your skills."

Mother Li put the bamboo steamer on the pot, and Li Xinyi then put the wrapped buns into the steamer one by one.

Li Xinyi asked: "Don't you need to put cinnabar on the buns?"

Li's mother said: "Why order those silly things?"

Li Xinyi was as quiet as a chicken, and silently went to the stove to light a fire.

The water in the pot had already started to gurgle, and the steam began to diffuse.

"When I go to someone's house in a while, be diligent with your mouth, and shout what you should."

Li Xinyi nodded obediently.

Mother Li thought about it for a while and said, "Don't give in to the place where you should be tough. If you don't understand, just ask you Brother Wu Can."

"Oh, mother, don't worry about me, I can take care of it. Is the bun cooked?"

Li's mother lifted the lid of the pot, and Li Xinyi couldn't wait to pick one up with her chopsticks.

"It's delicious! Mommy, you should try it too."

After taking a sip, Mother Li took out the buns one by one and put them on a plate.

"You can send it to Wu Su." Mother Li pointed to one of the plates.

"Now? Just these five buns?"

As soon as Li's mother raised her hand, Li Xinyi quickly picked up the plate and walked to Wu Su's house.

Can the five buns be delivered?

Strange to walk down the road with a plate?

To someone's house just to deliver steamed stuffed buns?

Li Xinyi said that this is not an ordinary bun stuffed with vegetables, it is full of his and Li's mother's wishes.

Not to mention that he washed and cut the vegetables, he was forced to witness a drama of family ethics just because of washing the vegetables.

It's really not easy, you must be confident!

Li Xinyi knocked on the door of Wu Su's house.

Wu Su came out in response, looking at Li Xinyi who was holding five buns in surprise.

"I made it, try it?" Li Xinyi showed a big smile.
