Qin Hao's daily life in another world

After counting, there were eight wild ducks, six wild geese, and dozens of duck and goose eggs. Most of the baskets were filled, and there were three baskets of persimmons. The four of them had a full harvest and went home contentedly.

As soon as he arrived at the yard, Xu Shan rushed out of the greenhouse like a small cannonball, angrily blaming his brother and brother-in-law for not waking him up, making him oversleep and not having time to keep up with them.

Uncle Wang and Brother Cao chased him out with Xu Shan's coat, caught Xu Shan and put on his clothes, only to find that the four of them brought back so many things.

"Today's heroes are Xu Hua and Xu Wei. They picked the persimmons, wild ducks and wild geese, and Xu Hua found the eggs. I slept by the lake, and Qin Hao drew a picture. Draw." Xu Yi smiled and praised the two brothers. Next year, the burden on their shoulders will be heavier, and it will be difficult to play like this.

"Brother Hua and Second Brother are so good, I can catch one if I go." Xu Shan bragged a little while eating the persimmon that Brother Cao broke open for him.

When Uncle Wang and Brother Cao heard that Xu Yi and Qin Hao were full of praise for Xu Hua, their faces were filled with joy. They carried the ducks and geese back to the kitchen and started to boil water to clean them up.

"It just so happens that I'm going to send Brother Cao back to Wangjia Village for the New Year tomorrow. Let's take two with me." Uncle and Xu Yi discussed in a low voice that could only be heard by each other. Brother Cao has been at home for a few months, and they still have to go back for the New Year. At home, it will be the twelfth lunar month soon, and it will be a bit late after the twelfth lunar month.

"He has a lot of family members, so give him another hundred catties of rice and some dried fish, and bring him a few more." Xu Yi thought about the few months that Brother Cao had been at home, and she felt much relieved, and felt very sorry for him. gratitude.

"Cut another five catties of meat and a pair of pig's trotters, and ask Xu Hua to drive him back in a carriage tomorrow."

"It's decided to have a wine in June next year. I'll go back to Wang's Village to discuss it with his father after the year. After the Lantern Festival, it will be done. I have something to do at home. It's better to come here earlier." Uncle Wang heard the news from someone he knew. I don't want to delay any longer.

Xu Yi laughed out loud, thinking that Qin Hao said that Xu Wei and Xu Shan would not get engaged until later, but Xu Hua got married so early, what would he think: "Uncle, Qin Hao still said that only in his hometown is considered Only adults can get married."

"It's good to get married, just like you and Qin Hao, when you are older, you will be more stable in doing things, and you have saved some money, so you can stand up in no time."

The three of them cleaned up more than a dozen ducks and geese, and accumulated a large pot of internal organs. Today, they are going to cook a big goose stew in an iron pot. Uncle Wang picked out a big fat goose, and then chose a few Chinese cabbage choy hearts, and planned to cook a big goose in a pot. Stew finished.

Put the large iron pot on the stove, heat the oil and stir-fry the vegetables, add the sauce prepared in advance, wait for the ingredients to change color, add enough water to cover the pot and simmer, the longer the simmering time, the better the taste.

Xu Yi asked Qin Hao to come to the greenhouse to knead the cornmeal. I don't know if it was because of his strength and strength that the dough he kneaded was especially chewy and elastic.

After cooking for enough time, Uncle Wang lifted the lid of the pot, and the strong smell of meat wafted away, which aroused everyone's appetite. They gathered around the iron pot, staring at the meat in the pot.

The newly made table came in handy. The family sat around the round table and began to eat warmly. The iron pot in the middle was gurgling and bubbling. Uncle Wang took two bites and stood up to stick the cornbread on the pot By the side, it can be eaten in soup in a while.

The ingredients are stewed together in a pot, and the taste is miraculously delicious. The duck and goose are fresh and tender, and the blood is full of rich soup. One bite, it is hot and enjoyable. The goose is already soft and rotten. With a light pick, the flesh and blood will automatically separate.

Xu Yi likes to eat cabbage heart in the soup. The more it is stewed, the softer it becomes, but it will not rot. In the end, the juice is wrapped in it, and the more it chews, the more delicious it is. It is not meat, but it is sweeter than meat. No matter how much you eat Will not get tired.

"Come on, Xu Er and Xu Hua each have a thigh, today we can eat such a delicious stewed goose thanks to you two." Qin Hao picked up the oily goose legs and put them into the two brothers' bowls.

The two brothers usually don't have this kind of treatment. Every time they eat meat, the three brothers and Xu Shan will eat the delicious parts first, and the three of them are responsible for eliminating the leftovers.

"Second brother, Brother Hua, Xiaoshan can eat wings today, you can eat quickly." Xu Shan reluctantly gave up the goose legs, acting very sensible, Xu Yi gave him a thumbs up and scooped up the tender blood. make it up to him.

The two goose-leg brothers looked up, and the whole family was staring at them eagerly. They quickly picked up the goose leg and took a bite. Eat it early and feel at ease. It is not impossible for the brother-in-law to regret it when the time comes.

If you eat a hot pot without stopping the fire, you will eat it unconsciously for a long time. Usually, you can finish it in a stick of incense. Today, after eating for half an hour, everyone still can't stop. Uncle Wang and Xu Yi temporarily cut some Put some side dishes, boil them in the broth, and grab a few balls of fine noodles, one bowl for each person, and eat it up.

It was so cold that they were sweating profusely from eating. The whole family wore thin single clothes spread out on the padded chairs, digesting contentedly, and fell asleep due to the warmth.

"I really want to sleep in the conservatory." Xu Shan's short body was lying on two chairs, humming comfortably, realizing the true meaning of house life at a young age.

"On New Year's Eve, the whole family can watch the night in the greenhouse." Xu Yi pinched the fat face of the youngest brother, really worried that he would become a little fat man in the future. In less than half a year, the skinny Xiaoshan disappeared, and the current Xiaoshan White, fat and tender, very playful.

When the moon was in the sky, everyone went back to their houses and had a good night's sleep.

On the second day, after breakfast, Xu Hua took Cao Geer back to Wangjiacun with big and small bags. When he came, he had only a small bag. When he returned, he packed up half the carload of clothes. Cao Geer’s eyes were red, and he was reluctant to leave. .

Xu Yi took out a small purse with a couple of pieces of silver in it, stuffed it into Brother Cao's pocket, patted his hand lightly, and said with a smile: "Brother Cao, go back and have a good New Year. Let Xu Hua take you home."

"In the next year, I will discuss with your parents to advance the marriage, and when I go home, I will bear with it when I hear unpleasant words." Uncle Wang also stuffed him with a money bag containing five hundred cash.

Brother Cao finally couldn't hold it anymore, tears fell like beads: "Uncle, Brother Yi, I don't want money, I don't suffer at home, everyone treats me very well, I have grown taller and fatter in a few months. "

"Take it, be obedient, wipe away your tears, let your father see that your eyes are red and swollen, and think that uncle bullied you." Uncle Wang suppressed Brother Cao's hand to take out the money, and waved to Xu Hua, Let him drive the carriage away.

Unexpectedly, just after noon, Xu Hua came back with Brother Cao, and the rice and meat in the carriage were gone.

Xu Hua looked angry, and there were several stains on the new cotton robe that he specially put on today, Brother Cao was even more embarrassed, his face was pale, his eyes were bloodshot, his neat bun was loose, and his long hair was messily draped over his shoulders , huddled in the corner of the carriage, motionless.

"What's the matter, did you encounter robbers on the road?" Uncle Wang and Xu Yi climbed into the carriage anxiously, checking their bodies for fear of other wounds.

Xu Hua held back all the way, his anger had already rushed to his head, and he said embarrassingly: "Brother Cao hasn't entered the door yet, he took his son and brother to block the door, saying that the family is small, so he put Brother Cao My son's bed board was burned, and the things in the carriage were left, so I don't have to go home. The family is poor and there is no ration for him."

Brother Cao seemed to wake up suddenly. Seeing Uncle Wang's worried face, he couldn't control his emotions anymore, and fell into Uncle Wang's arms, crying loudly.

"It's really a bully. This Wang Jinhua is also a follower, why is he so cruel?" Uncle Wang was full of evil spirits, wishing to slap his brother Jimo with a big mouth.

"As for his father, he just watched his brother being bullied by the stepmother."

"His father didn't say anything, he stayed in the house and didn't come out." Xu Hua was so angry that he didn't let him in, and even robbed them of their carriage. If they didn't walk fast, they would have even snatched their clothes gone.

Uncle Wang rolled up his sleeves and wanted to rush to Wangjia Village: "I'm so mad, why give them such things for nothing, we'll go and get them back."

Seeing that something was wrong, Xu Yi immediately winked and told Xu Er to call Qin Hao, who was taking a nap with Xiaoshan. He stood by the carriage and stopped Xu Hua and his son.

Qin Hao ran out sleepily, led the carriage into the yard, made a cold face, and said nothing, then Uncle Wang and Xu Hua gradually calmed down, as if they had found their backbone.

"Uncle, go make something for Xu Hua and Brother Cao. They must have not had lunch when they were kicked out." Qin Hao asked Xu Yi to help Brother Cao into the greenhouse, and then sent Uncle Wang to do it. meal.

Only then did Uncle Wang realize that the two children were starving, he took a bite in his heart, and hurriedly got busy in the greenhouse.

"Can you talk now? Brother Cao." Qin Hao looked at Brother Cao who was still twitching in Xu Yi's arms. The person who untied the bell had to tie the bell. Brother Cao had to make his own decisions.

"Think about it first, how you want to get along with your original family in the future, whether to endure it this time, four festivals a year, maintain the relationship or break the relationship from now on, it is irrelevant in the future, you think it through and tell me, we will all stand Your side."

Brother Cao took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, pondered for a while, then gritted his teeth and said resolutely: "Brother, I want to break off the relationship, so I don't want such a family.

"My grandma only gave birth to my elder brother and me, and the rest of my younger brothers were born to my stepmother. My elder brother got married two years ago, so I have nothing to worry about in that family." Brother Cao thought of how heartless his own father was. , I only thought he was dead in my heart.

"It's just that it's cheap for them, taking away so much rice and meat."

"You have to think clearly, there is no turning back when you open the bow. If you are sure, I will go to the county government with Xu Hua today to settle your matter, and the rice meat will come back." Qin Hao didn't want to go to Wang's house by himself. The price of the village is too low, so I can only find the way of the county magistrate and send a yamen servant to deal with this matter.

With tears in his eyes, Brother Cao nodded firmly.
