As soon as I stepped into the house, I smelled a sweet aroma wafting from the kitchen. I knew without a doubt that Lingling was making something delicious again.
When Lu Wensheng walked in quickly, he saw Shen Lingling dancing with the spatula in her hand. Lu Hao was squatting under the stove, lighting a fire, staring at the things in the pot.
Looking closely, I saw a layer of white lumps in the pot, which looked like winter melon candy.
"It's done so quickly?"
Lu Wensheng was not afraid of the heat. He reached out and quickly picked up a piece of winter melon candy from the pot and placed it on a plate to cool it down.
Ma Yingjie, who was watching eagerly from the side, followed suit, stretched out his hand to pinch out two pieces from the pot, and also put them on the plate and blew on them.
He had wanted to eat it for a long time, but he didn't dare to do it because he was afraid of being scolded by Sister Shen. Now that Sister Lu is leading the way, then one more person wouldn't be too much, right?
Shen Lingling wanted to laugh when she saw that they hadn't eaten candy for eight hundred years:
"Why are you in such a hurry? It's not like you haven't eaten before. It's too hot to be burned again."
Lu Wensheng smiled and said: "Of course I have eaten it before. I have eaten Lingling's homemade food before. I can't wait to try it~"
Shen Lingling was instantly silent~
Ma Yingjie quietly gave a thumbs up, saying that he had learned something: "As expected of my sister Lu! I still have a lot to learn~"
When it was almost cool, Lu Wensheng broke the winter melon candy into two halves, stuffed one half into his own mouth, and fed the other half to his little sister who was still busy.
In fact, she herself doesn't like the greasy sweet taste very much, but in this age of material scarcity, everyone likes sweets, and they want them to be as sweet as possible, and the very sweet ones are the most delicious.
If you don't believe me, just look at the way Ma Yingjie eats.
Lu Wensheng ate one piece and didn't take the second one. Shen Lingling knew that she didn't like sweet things.
He pointed to the freshly refined lard in the jar behind him and said, "I'll make you some lard candy later. This one isn't too sweet."
When Lu Wensheng heard that Shen Lingling could make lard candy, she was instantly very happy. She hadn't eaten lard candy for a long time.
The original owner had never eaten it in her life. When she was in the Lu family, she was the only one who saw Lu Xiaoxiao and Lu Jianguo eating lard candy.
When Lu Hao heard that he was going to make lard candy, he immediately became excited. When he was a child, his grandmother often made it for him and he would watch by her side, so he basically knew all the ingredients needed.
"There's no glutinous rice flour at home. I'll go borrow some from someone who has it!"
As he was about to run out, Shen Lingling grabbed him and said, "Wait a minute, I'll pack some winter melon candies to take with me. There's no point in going out to borrow things with nothing.
By the way, tell Aunt Caifeng that we will buy it and return it to her tomorrow."
Shen Lingling took a piece of oil paper from the cupboard, wrapped some winter melon candies in it, and went into the house to take out a small bundle and handed it to him, saying:
"Give this to Aunt Caifeng and tell her it has been fixed. If it doesn't fit, come back to me to fix it."
Ma Yingjie took the bag and slung it over his arm, then walked out while eating some winter melon candy: "Okay, I'll be back soon!"
————————
In just a short while, Lu Wensheng had already taken out the leftover vegetables and steamed buns from lunch from the cupboard and started eating them. She was really hungry...
When Shen Lingling came in, she saw her wolfing down the food from her bowl. Fearing that she might get an upset stomach, she quickly ran over and snatched the leftovers from her hand:
"What a fool you are! There's rice in the pot, why are you eating cold food?"
Lu Wensheng swallowed the steamed bun he had just taken a bite of with difficulty. He felt as if his neck could stretch two miles. He beat his chest and said in resentment:
"Just let me eat a bite of food, I'm choking to death."
Shen Lingling gave her a look of disappointment, lifted the lid of the pot, and complained:
"Did the Qingshan Brigade not give you food? Why did you come back so hungry?"
Lu Wensheng was afraid that the little sister had wrongly accused Captain Liu, so he quickly waved his hand:
"Don't talk nonsense. Captain Liu's family has killed a chicken. I just haven't eaten enough..."
Shen Lingling understood: It’s just not delicious, what other reason could there be!
Lu Wensheng got closer and watched her picking up the big, plump white buns. His appetite was immediately aroused, and he asked excitedly: "We're eating buns again tonight, what's the filling?"
Shen Lingling pointed to the willow leaf bun next to her: "This one is green pepper pork intestines."
Then he pointed to the round buns on the other side and said, "This one has meat residue and cabbage. Eat whichever you like."
Lu Wensheng couldn't wait to pick up a piece of pork intestine with green pepper and take a bite. It was so delicious! Her mouth was full of oil.
The roaring stomach was instantly appeased, and Lu Wensheng ate three large buns in a row before stopping:
"Where is Little Mengzi?"
Seeing that she just remembered Meng Qingtang now, Shen Lingling couldn't help but hold her forehead:
"He went to deliver buns to the teacher. He hasn't been back for such a long time. I guess he was forced to do hard labor."
I have to say that Shen Lingling's prediction was quite accurate. Meng Qingtang is cleaning cow dung in the cowshed at this moment!
"Work faster, kid. I have to eat. Look at the stinky yard you've made. This smell..."
Su Qishan was standing outside the cowshed, eating buns and scolding his grandson, and he didn't seem to be affected by the smell of cow dung at all.
Meng Qingtang didn't say anything either, he just worked hard.
Su Qishan became more and more annoyed as he spoke. How could he find a grandson-in-law for a man like him who was so useless that he couldn't even do a fart?
How can he hold his sweet and soft great-grandson without a granddaughter-in-law?
"You know what, Xiao Shen's buns are quite delicious!" He prefers the ones with green peppers and pork intestines to the ones with meat scraps and cabbage. They are fragrant, spicy and flavorful!
When Meng Qingtang came out after finishing his work, he found that the buns he had brought were gone.
That’s 10 buns! His grandpa finished them in one meal?
It seemed that the old man was in better shape. He quietly went into the house, poured a glass of water and handed it to him: "Grandpa, have some water."
Su Qishan took the teacup and took a sip: "How have you been these days?"
Meng Qingtang nodded, paused, and finally spoke: "I'm fine. Grandpa, I received a letter..."
Su Qishan immediately put away the nonchalant expression on his face: "Is there any news about that matter?"
Meng Qingtang shook his head and whispered, "It was... sent by the Meng family."
Su Qishan stood up suddenly, his anger rising to his head: "They actually dared to write to you! They want to bully me to death, right? What did they say? Where is the letter!"
Meng Qingtang quickly pulled Su Qishan to sit down, patted his back to calm him down, and advised:
"Grandpa, please don't get excited. If you have something to say, please speak slowly."
Su Qishan took a long time to calm down the dizziness, took out a quick-acting heart-saving pill and swallowed one, repeating:
"Where's the letter?"
Meng Qingtang felt a little guilty. He shouldn't have told this to his grandfather...
After a pause, he took out a letter from his jacket pocket and handed it to him: "Grandpa, it's not a big deal, don't get excited."
