Chapter 65 Nuobao's Exclusive Mount
Everyone looked at each other and nodded vigorously.
"My family has no objection!"
"It's the perfect choice!"
"Let's make it so, village chief!"
Everyone responded without hesitation.
If the village clan wants to elect a chief, they should elect someone who is highly respected and has made great contributions to the village. The village
chief must be selected. Old Zhang and Old Li had served in the military in their early years. When they were strong and healthy, they helped many villagers and were respected by the village.
As for Feng and little Nuobao, it goes without saying.
Not to mention that the Jiang family is popular on weekdays, just because little Nuobao has saved the whole village many times, let alone the village chief who is old, even if he becomes the local emperor of the village, they will not say a word!
When Feng heard this, she waved her hands in surprise.
"Village chief, I am still young, and Nuobao is too young, how can I enter the village clan meeting? You should choose some older elders."
But the village chief had already made up his mind.
He shook his head: "Our village clan meeting is mainly based on virtue, and has nothing to do with age. If you are immoral and incompetent, no matter how high your seniority is, it will only be in vain."
"Yes." Mrs. Liu patted her chest and said, "I am old, but I am happy to see Nuobao as the village clan elder."
Mr. Zhang also nodded continuously.
"Of course not. Little Nuobao is the ancestor of our village. How can we set up a village clan meeting and not let the little ancestor in?"
"Your family just sent so much food to our village today, which can help us have a good New Year." Old Li said with tears in his eyes: "Based on this, no one can compare to your family. You two mothers are not allowed to refuse!"
Seeing that the villagers were so kind, Feng couldn't refuse and could only acquiesce with a red face
. "I have thought about it." The village chief looked at everyone and said decisively: "In the future, our village clan meeting will respect Nuobao. For important matters in our village, Nuobao must nod. Do you know?"
"Okay!"
"I agree!"
"We all agree with both hands and feet!"
The village school was immediately boiling with noise.
Feng looked at the crowd, her face flushed, and her heart was also warm.
The whole village is full of sensible and grateful people. Such a village is comfortable to live in.
So after this, the village chief also decided that the village clan meeting would be held in the school in the future.
This small school has since carried the hope of the whole village.
...
In the middle of the day, Xiao Nuobao was sleeping soundly, drooling on the pillowcase, but he didn't know that he had been elected as the village elder in the school on the other side.
After Feng came back, he told his family about this.
The whole family clapped their hands with joy.
Even Xiao Lanyi couldn't help but sigh.
What kind of village is this? They let a baby boy who is less than two years old be the elder. It's really a strange thing.
Feeling the simplicity and unity of Dalui Village, and thinking about the intrigues in the officialdom of the capital, Xiao Lanyi couldn't help but be reluctant to leave the Jiang family.
A simple village.
A warm Jiang family.
And a cute little baby.
This is the life he really wants to live.
Xiao Lanyi had the idea of living here for a long time. With a throbbing heart, he wanted to run to help Feng Shi heat the kang...
...
The days are short in winter. While there are still more than two hours before sunset, Feng Shi thought that the sauerkraut has not been pickled yet.
So she asked her sons to move two large jars to pickle the sauerkraut with her daughter-in-law.
Hearing Xiao Lanyi adding more firewood in the house, Feng Shi's shoulders trembled, fearing that he would turn the kang into a stove again.
She immediately changed his job and asked him to look after Xiao Nuobao.
When Xiao Nuobao woke up, he learned about the village clan meeting and immediately rolled around on the kang excitedly, wrapped in a small mattress.
Xiao Lanyi felt a surge of love in her heart.
She pulled Chun Ge'er's arm, wiped Xiao Nuobao's saliva, and then carried this darling to see the pickled cabbage.
"Is the girl awake?" Hearing the voice, Feng turned her head and
saw Xiao Nuobao, wearing a cotton coat and cotton pants, round like a ball, being carried by Xiao Lanyi.
"Cool!" Little Nuobao looked at the cabbages all over the ground and stretched out his finger curiously: "What are you going to do~"
"Mom is going to pickle sauerkraut. It will be ready to eat after more than half a month of pickling. Then we can use it to stew pork belly and vermicelli. It will be delicious!" Mrs. Feng laughed and started to work.
Pickling sauerkraut is something that farmers have to do almost every year.
It's just that it was too dry in the past two years, and the cabbage was sold at a higher price, so the villagers of Daliu Village didn't do it much.
Otherwise, in previous years, when the price of cabbage was low, the vegetable farmers would rush to the ox carts to pull cabbage to the entrances of various villages.
Each family would buy at least several dozen kilograms, take it back to pickle, and eat it for more than half a year.
Mrs. Feng and her daughters-in-law were quick at work. They quickly removed the old cabbage and rinsed it with water.
Then put them into two large vats.
When putting down the cabbages, they should be stacked on top of each other, sprinkle a little salt on every two layers, and then pour in clean water to cover the cabbages.
Finally, put a large stone slab on top to press the cabbages tightly, and then it is done.
Seeing that the work is almost done, Xiao Lanyi couldn't help but be surprised: "Wait, Sister Feng, the pickled sauerkraut is ready so quickly? Don't you think something is missing?"
Mrs. Feng wiped her sweat and said, "What's missing, Mr. Xiao."
"Don't they say that you have to step on the sauerkraut with your feet? Why don't you step on it in your house?" Xiao Lanyi is straightforward and asks when she has doubts.
When the Jiang family heard this, they couldn't help but feel a chill.
Who is good at other people's vegetables and still step on them with their feet!
Xiao Nuobao turned his face away speechlessly.
"It smells so nasty, Xiao Guoguo, stop talking. If you want to eat something with a flavor, you might as well just hold your own feet and chew them."
Xiao Lanyi touched her head awkwardly.
He had clearly heard rumors before that aunties and uncles had to step on sauerkraut to make it, which frightened him so much that he never dared to eat it.
Feng knew what was going on, and explained to him with a smile: "There are two kinds of sauerkraut in our Southern Kingdom. Our northern sauerkraut is not salty, and you don't need to step on it."
The sauerkraut her family made is considered raw pickled sauerkraut. It
only needs to be slowly fermented in a jar at low temperature.
After pickling, wait for about 20 days, and then you can use it to stew vegetables, such as sauerkraut stewed with tofu, sauerkraut stewed with vermicelli, or sauerkraut stewed with meat. As long as there is no vegetable to eat, you can take one out of the jar and use it to stew everything.
"Our northern sauerkraut is simple and homely, and it can be stewed with anything." Li Qiqiao laughed.
Xiao Lanyi was a little greedy after hearing this.
She could put her heart back in her stomach.
He nodded vigorously: "So that's how it is. Actually, I haven't eaten northern pickled cabbage yet. Unfortunately, I have to go back to report in two days, so I'm afraid I won't be able to eat it."
"What's so difficult about this?" Mrs. Feng thought about it and said, "When you leave, I'll seal a few of them in a small pot and let you take them home. Wait a few days before opening the pot, and your cook will cook for you."
"That's great, thank you, Mrs. Feng!" Xiao Lanyi was so happy that she jumped and said, "I can't eat for free. I'll wash the dishes after dinner tonight!"
Thinking that he couldn't even heat the kang, Mrs. Feng was afraid that he would drop the dishes.
So she waved her hand and asked him to just accompany Nuobao.
Xiao Lanyi couldn't ask for more.
So for two days in a row, they stayed around Xiao Nuobao every day, washing her clothes and socks, and emptying her urinal.
The big and the small gradually became familiar with each other, and Xiao Nuobao also loved to stick to Xiao Lanyi.
All day long, she was either lying in his arms or lying on his back, as if she had a special mount.
Seeing that their sister had other brothers to play with, Feng Jing and Feng Miao felt a little jealous, as if Xiao Lanyi had taken their sister away.
They had no choice but to follow their sister all the time, like two little tails, for fear that Xiao Lanyi would kidnap their sister if they were not careful.
It was a rare sunny day.
In order to cheer up little Nuobao, Xiao Lanyi danced with the sword at the door for a while. After that, she grabbed Fengmiao's feet and performed a "pulling down the weeping willow" for Nuobao.
Little Nuobao was amused and giggled, showing a row of white teeth. Fengmiao
was so scared that tears flowed straight into his heart. He kept sighing, when will this Mr. Xiao return to Beijing?
Hearing Fengmiao groaning outside the house, Feng had no choice but to go out of the house, just to see what was going on.
Who knew that at this time, she heard a burst of howling from the village.
"You people in Dalui Village are really not human!"
"It's a pity that our village has always been on good terms with you. If you don't give us an explanation today, we will refuse to leave!"
Feng felt something was wrong as soon as she heard it.
He then picked up Xiao Nuobao and rushed towards the village entrance.
