Nowadays, children in the village rarely go up the mountain to roast crickets and cicadas. They used to do that when there was a famine. Now, in the countryside, as long as you have hands and feet and are willing to work, you will definitely have enough to eat and wear. Who would still eat that stuff?
"It's delicious, so fragrant!" Roubing felt sorry for Niu Dazhu and didn't want him to be scolded, so he shouted very loudly.
The soft, chewy meat bun said, "It smells delicious..."
Niu Dazhu smiled slightly, but then shrank back under Tie Dan's mother's sharp eyes, and said in a muffled voice, "Tie Dan and Ya Dan both loved to eat this when they were little, and I often roasted it for them."
Nothing happened at all, so how come my granddaughter got sick after eating it?
She's still too weak. I need to make sure my granddaughter gets more exercise. Health is the foundation of everything!
"Who still feeds their kids that stuff these days? There's plenty of white flour buns, chicken, duck, fish, and meat. You insisted on feeding your child insects. You... Luckily, the meat bun is alright, otherwise you would have regretted it." Tie Dan's mother deliberately scolded him more fiercely, afraid that Tang Yuanyuan would bring it up. She scolded the old man first, so her daughter-in-law wouldn't dare to say anything more.
There were just too many things happening tonight. One child after another had an accident, and they were all directly or indirectly related to her and the old man. Iron Egg's mother could hardly stand up straight. She was even more worried that Junjun and Zhuangzhuang would really need to have their kidneys replaced. What kind of family line would be left if the grandchildren's kidneys were damaged?
Tang Yuanyuan saw through her mother-in-law's little scheme. She was indeed very angry at first, but now her anger had subsided. Niu Dazhu hadn't done it on purpose, and he was reasonable enough to talk to. So she decided to have a good talk with her father-in-law.
“Dad, from now on, when you catch grasshoppers and cicadas, you should fry them at home and eat them. That way it’s cleaner and more hygienic, and you’ll feel more at ease eating them. You don’t even wash them on the mountain before roasting them, and you don’t even know if they’re cooked properly. If you eat parasites, the consequences could be very serious, even life-threatening. I’m not exaggerating. You can ask Tiedan if you don’t believe me,” Tang Yuanyuan said patiently.
Tie Dan nodded quickly, "Yuan Yuan is right. Many people have lost their lives because of eating random things. Dad, please don't feed them random things."
"Okay, I won't grill it anymore, I'll catch it and eat it."
Niu Dazhu agreed readily. In fact, even if Tang Yuanyuan hadn't said anything, he wouldn't have dared to feed her anymore. The way his little granddaughter looked in pain just now made his heart ache. He felt like he would rather stab himself with a knife. He wouldn't dare to feed her anything else, and he didn't even dare to take her to the mountain.
Tang Yuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that her father-in-law was willing to listen to her advice. Although Roubao had suffered a bit, the two siblings couldn't hide their happiness. Just now, the two siblings were showing off the straw weaving that Niu Dazhu made to An Anjing on the phone. They had never been so proud and smug before. An Anjing was extremely envious.
"The agastache water is ready, sister-in-law, let Roubing and Roubao drink some." Yadan brought out a large bowl of brown agastache water, the indescribable smell was even stronger. Roubao pinched her nose and shook her head vigorously, she didn't want to drink bitter medicine.
"Your father just picked some wild patchouli from the mountain. It's good for your health to drink in the summer," Tie Dan's mother explained.
"I won't drink it, let my sister drink it. I'm not sick." Meatball ran far away; he wouldn't drink such a foul-smelling medicine.
The little dumpling shook its head like a rattle drum and patted its tummy hard, saying, "It doesn't hurt anymore, I don't want to drink."
Tang Yuanyuan couldn't make up her mind, so she called Ye Qingqing again.
“It’s fine to drink some. You can drink patchouli even if you’re not sick. It’s very effective at relieving summer heat. Your father-in-law picked it late at night with all his heart, so let the meat pie and meat bun have a few sips. Let them know the consequences of eating random things on the mountain.” Ye Qingqing smiled maliciously.
