Little wealth

"Everyone eat vegetables, don't be polite."

"Okay, you can eat too."

Zhao He sat on this side of the main table, holding his two-year-old son on his lap, picked up chopsticks and gave him a bite of shiitake mushrooms to eat.I saw the child eat something delicious, his eyes narrowed in a smile, his mouth moved, and he took his hand to eat before he swallowed the food in his mouth.

He waited until the child had swallowed the food in his mouth before he gave the child a second piece.

Looking at the child obediently sitting on his lap, Zhao He couldn't remember the last time his son sat on his lap to eat.During this period of time, Fu Lang took good care of the child, almost never using his hands, so he couldn't remember the last time his son clinged to him.

Looking at such a table of dishes, he thought that Fu Lang had been busy in the kitchen all morning just to make such a table of dishes. I miss Fulang a little bit.

"Em, why don't you sit here and eat, there is still a place here." Zhao Hu saw his E'mu serving food, and called his E'mu to come over for dinner.

Others also echoed, "Yes, let's sit here and eat together."

"No, no, I'll go back to the courtyard and eat with your brother later." Zhao Amu came to pick up the little grandson, greeted everyone, and said to the eldest son who was holding the child: "You read Read it to me, he is still preventing you from eating here, I will take him back to the courtyard to eat."

"Have you finished your work inside?" Zhao He handed the child over to Ah Mu, and asked casually.

"It's over, it's over, Brother Qiao and the others are eating in the yard, I'll take the child back to eat there, so I won't eat here." Zhao Amu took the little grandson back, seeing that the little grandson would go back to his father's place , He coaxed his grandson, and handed the little grandson to Brother Chen behind him, and asked Brother Chen to take the child back first.

Chen Yan grabbed the child's arm with one hand and dragged the child's buttocks with the other hand, carrying the child away.

"You eat what you eat, don't worry about us." Seeing that his grandson was taken away, Zhao Amu greeted everyone from behind, and then followed back.

Zhao Hu looked eagerly at the fiancée and E'Mu who had left, and suddenly felt that the meat in his mouth was no longer delicious. He also wanted to go back to eat with E'Mu, brother, fiancée and nephews.Looking back at his elder brother, the buttocks that were about to be raised fell back again, holding a bowl in his hand, eating a little pitifully.

There is already a queue at the rice cooker's side, and a group of people are carrying a big bowl to cook rice. Such delicious meat, how can we do without rice!

The person who ran fast in front went back and sat down after eating the meal, scooped a spoonful of shiitake mushrooms and stewed meat into the rice, mixed it with chopsticks, lowered his head and aimed his mouth at the bowl, and pulled the chopsticks in his hand, half of the bowl went away It's time for dinner.

Dishes are placed on the table one by one, and the table is full.

In the middle is a whole steamed fish, fried tofu with mushrooms, fungus and eggplant, fresh shrimp with sauerkraut, and fresh shrimp with cattail.These working men all felt that they had eaten very well in the past, but they didn't realize that good food was still waiting for them until they ate this meal today.

The braised pork with mushrooms served first was quickly eaten up by everyone.

But it doesn't matter, there are many dishes behind.

Stir-fried Pugua with fresh shrimp, the soup inside is fresh and sweet, which is completely different from their home-made fried Pugua that lacks oil and salt.The pumpkin fried with fresh shrimp, pour a spoonful of soup on the rice, and they can eat a big bowl of rice.

And this fish, why is it so fresh and delicious, without any fishy smell!

There are also all kinds of cold dishes and pickled vegetables, obviously they can also cook these dishes at home, why is there such a big gap with others!

There is also this noodle, which has minced meat on it. I don’t know how the sauce of this noodle is adjusted.Those who rushed to eat earlier, when the last face came, they all regretted it.

But who cares, as long as they can eat it, they will try their best to stuff it into their mouths.

At the beginning, the man who ate more politely in consideration of face, completely gave up his reserve after eating, and just let go of his stomach and ate violently.They have eaten so many rice noodles in the village, and no one's rice noodles are as delicious as the Zhao family's Shangliang banquet today.

***

"Huh—" I'm exhausted!

Pick up the last noodle, pour it on the sauce that was fried in advance with sixty-nine-year-old meat and minced meat, and ask someone to bring the dish outside. Only then did Josh leave the stove, go back to the room to wipe off the sweat on his body, and drink Only after a large bowl of cold water did I feel that the whole person was relieved.

Seeing Chen Yan bringing his son back from the outside, a smile appeared on his face, "You are back, have all the dishes been served?"

"Take it out." Chen Yan put the baby back in his arms on the ground.

"There are still vegetables in the kitchen, let's set up a table at the entrance of the main room to eat." Josh took the child, touched the child's back, felt the sweat in his hand, he got up and took a dry cloth towel to help his son wipe sweat.

Let his son sit in the room and wait for them, then he and Chen Yan went to the kitchen to serve food.

When they brought out the dishes and set them up, their Eminem also came back from the outside.

"Ah Mu is here for dinner." Josh looked at the people who came back and asked, "Ah He and Xiaohu, have they eaten outside?"

"Well, yes, the two brothers ate outside, let's just eat inside, don't worry about them." Zhao Amu came back after serving the last dish, and sat down to take a breath.The outside is full of people, and they have no place to eat outside, so it's better to stay inside and eat.

"Well, that's good." Josh lowered his head and asked their son, "Do you want noodles or dinner?"

The little baby was drooling while looking at the dishes on the table, completely ignoring the adult's question.

Before his son could answer, Josh helped his son make a decision, "Why don't you just eat noodles? Today's noodles are delicious, and you should like them." He filled a small bowl with some noodles for the child, and scooped some noodles on top. Spoon the braised pork and shiitake mushrooms, and put the small fork into the child's hand, "Okay, you can eat it by yourself."

Xiaowaer took the small fork, used the fork to fork a large spoonful of noodles, lowered her head and took a bite, stuffing her mouth full.

"Small mouth, do you have such a big mouth? Take such a big bite." Josh looked at their son's rude eating of noodles, very helpless, looked at the two people who were still sitting far away, and shouted: " Ah Mu, please sit here and eat, the food will be cold in a while." Although the weather is hot, the food can be eaten cold, but after all, it is delicious when it is not hot, so it is better to eat it while it is hot it's the best.

"Hey, okay, here we come." Zhao Amu took a breath, and called Chen Ge'er to sit down and eat together.There was good soup in the bowl. He picked up the bowl and took a sip of the soup, then picked up the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables and said, "We've built the beam today, and the roof tiles will be ready in a few days."

"Well, yes. Let them hurry up in the next few days and fix the wall together. The rest will wait for the child's father and Xiaohu to install the doors and windows. It will be about the end of August by then." Josh forgot Looking at the time, there is still a long time until the end of next month, but when the doors, windows and wooden cabinets in the house are finished, it is almost time to move into the house.

"Hehe, yes, Brother Chen will come to our house at that time." Amu Zhao looked at Brother Chen who was sitting beside her with a smile. is very satisfied.

During this time, the two families were often together, and Chen Tuhu also came to their house to help with work every day. Both father and son were hardworking people, and they were diligent in everything they did.This kind of good daughter-in-law is really impossible to find even with a lantern, and thanks to the bad eyesight of those people in the village, otherwise such a good daughter-in-law would really not be able to fall into their old Zhao's house.

Thinking of this, Zhao Amu laughed and said, "Brother Chen should be our wife."

"Haha, that's right, Ah Yan has a fate with our little tiger." Josh also agrees with this very much, after all, according to this world, men and women get engaged at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and get married at the age of fifteen or sixteen. If Brother Chen had engaged and married someone early like those brothers, there would be no fate with their family.

The teased Chen Yan ate with his head down, he was too embarrassed to pick up the dishes with his chopsticks.

"Hehe, don't be shy, don't patronize those who don't eat food, the food here is good today, eat more." Zhao Amu said and picked up a piece of meat for Brother Chen, and didn't forget to give it to the other side. My daughter-in-law also picked up a chopstick.

Chen Yan looked at the extra meat in the bowl, his mouth squirmed, and he thanked him anyway.

"No thanks, no thanks, it's all from my family. If you say thank you, don't say such polite words in the future." Zhao Amu laughed and said: "There are many dishes on the table, you can pick what you like. Here are just a few of us, eat as you feel comfortable."

Compared with the group of people outside who ate in full swing, there were only a few of them inside, and they ate slowly, and no one grabbed the food. Anyway, they couldn't finish the food on this table.There are still leftover dishes in the pot in the kitchen, so there is no need to cook until the evening.

Just after cooking in the kitchen, Josh didn't have much appetite to eat at the moment, so he drank some soup and used chopsticks to pick up some fish for his son to eat.Seeing his son eating so much that his eyes narrowed, he asked, "Is it delicious?"

"Hee hee~" Xiaowa'er smiled with eyes wide open, pointing at the big fish on the table, "Yuyu, eat."

"Okay, then I'll give you another bite." Josh picked up the fish on his back, and gave his son a big bite of meat. He tasted it himself, and passed the chopsticks in his hand to the bowl of pickled vegetables. This is more appetizing, and eating pickles is better than anything else.

In the middle is a whole steamed fish. The body of the fish is slightly wider than an adult's palm and slightly longer than the dish on which the food is served. A fish weighs two or three catties.After steaming, the eyeballs still seem to be alive, and the fish meat is firm. Put a chopstick in the fish meat and dip it in the sauce. The taste is excellent!

This time no one robbed him, Chen Yan picked up the fish head with his chopsticks, and slowly sucked the juice from the fish bone, eating it with relish alone.

"My child, why do you only eat a fish head with so much meat? I don't even eat this fish meat." Zhao Amu looked at Brother Chen eating the fish head. He didn't want to eat such a whole fish, so he just picked up a fish head. After eating, he said with a smile: "You are just like Xiaohu. You don't know how to pick good things to eat, so you pick fish heads and fish tails."

While gnawing on the fish head, Chen Yan looked up at Chen Amu, feeling a little unconvinced, this fish head is delicious!He snatched the fish head only when Zhao Xiaohu was not around, and when he thought of Zhao Xiaohu snatching the fish head away every time, he hummed in his heart.

"Put whatever you like to eat, and the fish head is delicious." Josh thought it was nothing, just like some people like to eat chicken heads and chicken feet, some people just like fish heads and fish bones, and others just like to eat them Meat does not eat bones.

It's just that he doesn't like eating things with bones... It's not that he doesn't like eating them, it's that he doesn't know how to eat them. Those who know how to eat think that these bones are more delicious.

Everyone had eaten so many meals together, but he could see that Chen Yan and Zhao Hu had similar preferences in some aspects, for example, they both liked to eat things with bones but little meat. I don't like to drink soup, I would rather drink a big bowl of cold water after I have a full meal.

If it was said that these two people were not destined to be married, he wouldn't believe it even if they were killed.

There is such a saying, it's not just a family, it's about Chen Yan and his uncle.

"When I'm free another day, I'll cook fish heads for you to eat." In fact, he thinks that fish heads with chopped peppers are more delicious, but it's a pity that he hasn't found any peppers yet. After he got it together, he couldn't help drooling when he thought of those dishes.

Sure enough, as soon as Chen Yan heard that the fish head was cooking, Chen Yan looked at Josh, his eyes seemed to be shining like gold.

"Hehe, let's eat first, we'll do it when we're free some other day." Seeing Chen Yan looking at him, Josh smiled and said, "It's not easy to like fish heads. The fish heads are chopped out for cooking, and the remaining fish heads are deep-fried and marinated in jars to make marinated fish, which can be eaten slowly.”

"All you think about is delicious food." Zhao Amu used to think that this daughter-in-law was thinking about delicious food and good clothes all day long, but she didn't know that he had good cooking skills.

"Haha, people have a mouth, isn't it just for eating?" Josh laughed, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with thinking about eating all day long. "When you are young and still have teeth, you can eat whatever you want. , Don’t wait until you lose all your teeth when you get old, but you can only eat tofu.”

"Haha, yes, yes, you are right." Zhao Amu also smiled.

"Hee hee~" Seeing the adult laughing, the little baby next to him also raised his head, baring his baby teeth and laughing with the adult, his big eyes were almost blinded by his squinting.

"Do you know what we're laughing at? You laughed too?" Seeing their son laughing so carelessly, Josh couldn't help laughing again. He was going to be caught in the bowl for the kid by this silly son. A chopstick of food, "Eat your meal, don't laugh."

Chen Yan, who was sitting opposite, looked up and saw Josh who was smiling at the child with his head turned sideways, and then looked at the cute little doll, with a little envy and anticipation in his eyes. I wonder if their child will be would be so cute...

***

When they finished their meal, the people outside also finished their meal.

"Mum, I'm full, you guys eat slowly, I'll take Niannian back to the house to sleep first."

Before the meal was finished, their son's eyes were almost closed. Josh had no choice but to take off the fork in the child's hand, carried the child back to the house, and wiped the child's body wet with sweat. He took off his clothes, went outside and fetched a basin of water and came back, wiped the child's body, hands, feet and face, and changed the child into clean clothes, so that the child could sleep more comfortably.

After being tossed and turned by him like this, the little boy who was full and sleepy still fell asleep soundly.

"You, little piggy!" He pinched his son's little nose, as if the little guy knew someone had pinched his nose while he was asleep, and waved his hand, but luckily his hand retracted a little faster. Hit by this little guy.

Looking at the child with his eyes closed, his long eyelashes looked like a small fan.

What a carefree little guy!I have eaten and slept enough every day, and I have never seen this little guy worry.Josh couldn't help smiling, and after covering the child with a small quilt, he turned around and went out gently.

The tables outside have been cleared, and I am thinking about going to the kitchen to tidy up.

When he saw the two figures standing in the kitchen washing dishes together, the footsteps that originally wanted to go in that direction turned a corner and went outside.
