Defeat natural disasters with farming

After packing up, Ye Yu's family was ready to go back. They put on their coir raincoats again at the door. Mrs. Ye watched for a while, and when they were about to leave, she squeezed Ye Yu's hand and asked, "Eat the buns that were sent over earlier?" Is it finished?"

Ye Yu held his grandma's hand instead, and replied, "I eat two a day, and I've finished them long ago."

"Just eat it if you like it." Old lady Ye said with great satisfaction, "I'll steam some and send it over later."

"Okay, grandma's steamed buns are my favorite." Ye Yu replied cheerfully.

Ye's mother was also happy when she heard the words, she was quite puzzled and said: "I made the buns according to the way my mother taught, but the taste is far worse, I really don't know why."

What is even more incomprehensible is that steamed buns and dumplings are actually the same, but she makes dumplings and wontons are delicious.

"You'd better make less and wrap more." Mrs. Ye said.

The slight difference in taste is due to the difference in seasoning and heat, all of which require experience.

After chatting for a while, the family left, and no one spoke on the way, until after returning home and taking off the mask, Ye's mother said with emotion: "It's true that every family has a hard-to-recite scripture.

Father Ye, as a male elder, is naturally not suitable to talk about the rights and wrongs of his niece and daughter-in-law, so he patted Chu Xufeng on the shoulder and said, "Come on, let's go out and clean up."

"Okay." Chu Xufeng responded.

Ye Yu stayed and continued to listen to his mother.

Mother Ye said: "I really don't understand, Pandi looked fine before she got married, why she suddenly changed."

Ye Yu didn't know how to respond to these words. He had little contact with Pandi, but the eldest sister and younger sister of the Wu family had seen more, especially the younger sister Laidi. She was accepted as an apprentice by Dr. Hao together with Xinghua , There will always be encounters between contacts.

Fortunately, Mother Ye didn't need him to answer the conversation, so she stopped talking after saying a few words casually, and went to the kitchen to cook medicine for Ye Yu.

The medicine he is drinking now is different from before, mainly to strengthen the curative effect, the taste is no longer sour, only pure bitterness remains, but Ye Yu tastes more acceptable than before, he feels a bit like drinking bitter coffee.

After he finished drinking, Mother Ye handed him a glass of pear water.

Ye Yu drank it in one gulp to wash away the bitter taste in his mouth.

When Father Ye and the others came back in coir raincoats, Ye Yu had already finished washing. Following Xinghua's suggestion, he added some white vinegar to the water when washing his face.

"Tomorrow we have to shovel the snow. If we don't shovel, we won't be able to go out." Father Ye wiped his face and said.

"Okay." Upon hearing this, Mother Ye urged them to go to bed quickly, "If you go to bed early, you can get up early to shovel snow."

After urging, she turned her head and said to Chu Xufeng: "The sheets and bedding in your room are all clean, just go to sleep."

Chu Xufeng thanked him. He lived in Ye Yu's house for almost half a month, so all the daily necessities were complete.

Ye Yu couldn't bear it any longer, he yawned and said, "Brother Xu, good night."

"Good dream." Chu Xufeng rubbed his head.

I don't know if it was because of this good dream that Ye Yu had a good night's sleep. Although he couldn't remember the specific content of the dream when he woke up the next day, the warmth still remained in his mind.

He put on his clothes in a good mood, and when he washed his face, he saw his face reflected in the water again. The acne pits on his face disappeared a little, and the traces became lighter. It is estimated that they will all disappear in a few days.

It was only after Ye Yu went out that he realized that he got up too late, and Father Ye and Chu Xufeng had already shoveled the snow in the yard.

However, there are many things he can do. The first thing to bear the brunt is to replace the bamboo charcoal in the mask. In fact, the most ideal situation is to change the mask every day, but it is too wasteful. The masks in their home are all made of cotton cloth. Rare is worthy of being called, and he would throw it away after wearing it for a day, even thinking about it himself feels distressed, so if he can’t throw it away, he can only try to find other ways to deal with it. For example, now, the bamboo charcoal in the mask is changed every two days. When you take the mask apart, the cotton cloth can also take this opportunity to clean it.

Ye Yu took apart the two pieces of cotton cloth on the mask, and used clips to remove the bamboo charcoal inside. The bamboo charcoal can no longer be used, and the best way to deal with it is to burn it with fire.

Mother Ye was sitting next to him. She was in charge of soaking the removed cotton cloth in boiling water. When the water temperature dropped to normal temperature, she could pour in the saponin powder and rub it gently with her hands to wash it off.

The cotton cloth was clamped with clips to dry in a cool and ventilated place. Ye Yu looked at the pieces of cloth fluttering in the wind and thought with some regret that it would be better if it was out of the sun, because exposure to the sun can sterilize and disinfect.

But it's a good thing that it doesn't snow, and we can't ask for too much.

Ye Yu stretched out his arms to feel the temperature outside. It was around minus [-] degrees. He shrank his head and retracted his arms, saying that the snow is not cold enough to turn the snow into cold. Sure enough, now is the coldest time.

Mother Ye glanced at him, "I still don't believe in evil, I told you, I can't go out easily."

"I'm not thinking that the weather will finally be sunny, so I can go out and see what's going on in the village." Ye Yu closed the door and said, "I didn't expect the temperature to be so low."

When Mother Ye heard this, she tapped Ye Yu's forehead with her fingertips, "Don't even think about going out before you recover, just stay at home."

Ye Yu also knew that he had just recovered from a serious illness, and his immunity must have declined compared to before, which made him very easy to get sick now.

"If you really want to know the situation in the village, you can ask Dr. Chen when he comes over later." Mother Ye didn't stop moving her hands while speaking.

She is making preparations for making Lantern Festival, because today is the [-]th day of the first lunar month, and yesterday was the [-]th day, which is the Lantern Festival. They went to the old house to have a reunion dinner, but they missed the Lantern Festival, so they just made up for it today.

Too many things happened during this period, Ye Yu always felt that a long time had passed, until this morning when he saw the calendar hanging on the wall, he realized that only sixteen days had passed since the New Year's day.

Ye Yu still remembered that they could go to the county town to watch lanterns during the Lantern Festival. He once guessed lantern riddles, and after guessing correctly, he took a lotus lantern home. The way he looked was always in his heart.

The lotus lantern is not exquisite, what Ye Yu misses is only the lively atmosphere and the warm time with his parents.

Now, although it is no longer possible to watch lanterns, you can still eat Lantern Festival.

Mother Ye fried the black sesame seeds and walnut kernels and crushed them until fragrant. As she moved, a strong nutty aroma gradually came out. Then she poured in the walnut oil and some syrup that had been squeezed before, and the Lantern Festival stuffing was ready. up.

They don’t use the method of rolling glutinous rice noodles into round sheets and wrapping the fillings in the Lantern Festival here, but knead the fillings into balls, then put them in the noodle basket and roll them continuously, so that the glutinous rice flour is wrapped layer by layer. The filling method.

Mother Ye didn't forget to pick one up to cool down and stuff it into Ye Yu's mouth when the Lantern Festival was underway.

"Try it and see if it tastes good."

Ye Yu was so hot that he gasped, but he couldn't bear to spit it out. The main reason was that it was really delicious. The black sesame seeds were sweet and delicious, and the chopped walnuts were slightly bitter, but it neutralized the sweetness very well, not to mention the glutinous rice skin. Yes, his teeth stick when he bites. In fact, he likes to eat glutinous food, such as rice cakes, yuanxiao, glutinous rice balls and so on.

Seeing Ye Yu's appearance, Mother Ye knew that he liked it very much, so when the Lantern Festival floated to the surface one after another, she fished it out with a colander.

There were four bowls in total, and there were ten in each bowl. Yuan Xiao was not too small, at least Ye Yu could not hold on after eating only five, and could only watch with regret that Chu Xufeng ate the rest.

Because glutinous rice is difficult to digest, after they finished eating, Ye Mu made another pot of hawthorn water and poured them each a cup.

I have to say that it is a blessing to eat and drink enough in the cold winter, especially when chatting with hawthorn water, it is relaxed and pleasant.

Ye Yu had just finished drinking a glass of hawthorn water when Dr. Chen came over for a follow-up visit. The result of his diagnosis was the same as what Ye Yu thought. Except for the decline in immunity, he had basically recovered.

Mother Ye burst into laughter when she heard the diagnosis result, and said with relief, "It's good."

Dr. Chen also breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother Bao, I can eat some nourishing food for nourishment recently. I remember that there seems to be processed ginseng in the village. You don't need the trunk, you only need to use ginseng silk to make soup, and you can put one or two roots. Overdo it."

Mother Ye memorized it firmly, and then asked, "What kind of soup is it?"

"Pork rib soup, chicken soup, and pig's trotter soup are all fine." Dr. Chen said: "If you don't have the conditions, ginseng red date soup is also fine. Brother Bao's serious illness consumes too much energy. If he can't make up for it, he may feel refreshed in the future. tired."

At this time, Ye Yu saw that his parents and Chu Xufeng's expressions became serious, and Ye's father frowned and asked, "Would it be better to use ginseng trunk to make soup?"

Dr. Chen quickly shook his head and said, "No, I still need ginseng whiskers. I can cook them in a casserole and let him eat them after drinking the soup. And the longer the age of the ginseng, the better the effect."

He thought for a while and said: "I have some medicinal recipes here, I will pick some useful ones and copy them over."

After hearing this, Ye Yu thanked her again and again. You must know that everything related to prescriptions is basically the secret biography of each doctor, and it is basically not passed on to anyone other than his son or apprentice.

Dr. Chen said with some melancholy: "Nowadays no one knows how to take medicinal food. It would be a good thing not to tell Fang Zi to never see the light of day."

"Then thank you very much." Ye Yu thanked again.

Doctor Chen put away the medicine box and was about to leave when he heard Mother Ye's voice, "Wait a minute."

Before he left, Mother Ye quickly went to the chicken shed to catch a chicken, tied its wings and stuffed it into a bamboo frame, and then handed him some mountain products and dried persimmons.

Seeing that Dr. Chen was going to refuse, she immediately said, "Brother Bao has really troubled you recently, and these are worthless. If you don't accept them, you will not give us face." Dr. Chen sent it over.

What Dr. Chen wanted to say was immediately blocked by her, and she could only say: "Then I will be disrespectful."

Immediately afterwards, Father Ye and Ye Yu were about to send Dr. Chen out. As soon as they reached the door, they heard a familiar voice, "Doctor Chen, please don't leave."

Ye Yu heard the words and looked over, only to see Ye He running here in a panic.

"What's wrong?" Dr. Chen asked in shock.

"Sister Ru of my family drank chicken soup in the morning, and she was fine in the morning, but she started to vomit and have diarrhea at noon, and she has never been better." Ye He said as he tugged on Dr. Chen's sleeve, "Hurry up and take a look look."

"Okay, okay." Doctor Chen quickly unloaded the basket, "I'll go with you."

Ye He dragged Doctor Chen and ran home.

At this time, Father Ye turned his head and explained to his family: "I'll go and have a look."

Mother Ye nodded, "Okay, you can go now."

After Ye's father left, Ye's mother closed the door and said worriedly: "What's the matter, didn't you say that you can't give sister Ru chicken soup? Why did you feed her again?"

"Wait for Dad to come back and ask him." Ye Yu said with a slight frown.

"Sigh." Mother Ye sighed, "Do you think our family is committing Tai Sui this year? Why do bad things keep happening?"

"No, don't think about it, pack up the things in the basket quickly, and I have to send it to Dr. Chen later." Ye Yu quickly changed the subject.

Mother Ye was really attracted by this matter, and she stopped talking about her sister, but Ye Yu knew that she must be worried.

Ye Yu also had some bad premonitions in her heart. The eldest brother Ye Hai's family was afraid that there was going to be a quarrel. The eldest aunt had endured Pandi's sister-in-law for a long time, and this matter might become the trigger.

Sure enough, when Father Ye came back, he explained the cause and effect to them carefully.

After drinking a cup of tea, he said, "Oh, my sister reheated yesterday's leftover chicken soup this morning, and I fed it to her in such a big bowl."

Father Ye made a gesture, and Ye Yu knew from the size that it was the small bowl Ye Ru usually used to eat rice cereal. "Children have no taste in milk and rice cereal. Once they taste the delicious chicken soup, don't they just drink it hard?" I don’t know if I’m hungry or full, and it’s not about how much the adults feed and drink, but after drinking it, something goes wrong, and the chicken soup overnight is oily, and the child starts to vomit and diarrhea when it irritates him.”

"When I went, she was already bleeding. My mother and sister-in-law almost didn't die of fright. Fortunately, Dr. Chen went there early and stopped her diarrhea with acupuncture. It's just that Dr. Chen said that her stomach was irritated. I'm afraid I can't eat anything, I can only drink milk, and I must take medicine, and if I can't raise it well, I will easily vomit whatever I eat in the future."

"Just now, all the relatives and mothers have come, and Brother Hai's daughter-in-law's sisters are all here, and now they are still at the old house."

Mother Ye was so distressed that she couldn't hold back her usual good temper, and complained to Pandi, "How can she be a mother, if you ask her mother, she won't be able to feed sister Ru chicken soup, and don't even think about it." , can mother and sister-in-law harm their own children?"

Father Ye sighed deeply, he still had nothing to say, but when sister Ru was crying endlessly because of the pain, her mother muttered, "I'm so unlucky, I can't even stand such a good chicken soup."

If sister Ru's situation hadn't been severe at that time, the sister-in-law might have quarreled with her on the spot. Even his words sounded harsh to him, and he didn't know how a mother could bear to say such things about her child, and she probably would have trouble in the future.
