Chapter 43: New Rice, Making Rice Cakes
The two men carried him up and prepared to return.
At this time.
Saw Zhao Chunlan.
They faced each other in silence for a while.
Zhao Zhenren's mind went blank, and he subconsciously asked Zhao Zhenyi: "Second brother, what should we do?"
Zhao Zhenyi ignored him.
He looked at Zhao Chunlan and forced a smile: "Sister, you are..."
Before he could finish.
Zhao Chunlan rushed over and hugged them both, her voice tearful: "Big brother, second brother, thank you~"
The two men were stiff.
"Boom!"
With a dull thud, Wu Shanchuan fell to the ground.
Zhao Zhenren was at a loss as to what to do to comfort Zhao Chunlan: "Sister, don't cry..."
Zhao Zhenyi gently wiped away Zhao Chunlan's tears and swore devoutly: "Sister, we failed to protect you, and we will never do so again."
After listening.
Zhao Chunlan burst into tears, but she showed a happy smile: "Sister believes in you~"
…
It took 10 minutes for the three people to come back.
Lin Su'e was cleaning up the dishes when she heard footsteps. She looked up and noticed the redness and swelling at the corners of Zhao Chunlan's eyes. She guessed that she had just cried, but she didn't expose her.
Zhao Chunlan's voice was a little hoarse: "Mom, let me do it."
Lin Su'e nodded: "Yes."
Then, she picked up Wu Pandi and said, "Come on, Pandi, let's go. Grandma will take you for a ride!"
Wu Pandi's eyes lit up, and she hugged her neck tightly, "Okay!"
The grandfather and grandson walked out.
Zhao Chunlan looked at this harmonious and happy scene, and her eyes became a little warm again.
…
midnight.
Wu Shanchuan was awakened by the urge to urinate. He was drunk and his mind was still fuzzy. He walked out based on his instincts.
As he walked, he grimaced: "Why do I feel pain all over my body? This is weird~"
Arrived at the dry toilet.
It was a dark and windy night with no one around. He was too lazy to lift the curtain to go in and urinate, so he faced the cesspool.
Unbutton your pants.
“Sizzle…”
His expression relaxed, and he hummed a song: "Hot girl..."
The singing covered up the footsteps behind me.
Suddenly, he felt someone push him hard on the back, and before he could react, he fell into the pit.
He was almost sober now, and he started to curse: "Damn! That bastard..."
But I didn't notice the place.
Took a bite...
Wu Shanchuan's face turned pale and he vomited madly: "Ugh!"
Half an hour later.
The lights were turned on in Lin Su'e's house.
Wu Shanchuan was lying on the ground covered in excrement, constantly pouring water on himself and vomiting.
Lin Su'e felt sick to her stomach when she saw this.
Zhao Zhenren and his siblings all moved away from him and covered their noses with their hands.
Zhao Zhenli said in disgust: "It stinks~"
Zhao Zhenxin: "You're such a grown-up, but you still fell into the toilet. How shameful!"
“…”
besides.
There was also a group of people gathered to watch the fun.
“Tsk tsk tsk!”
"Is this the eldest son-in-law of the Third Mother-in-law?"
"I remember the last time the child fell into the toilet, it was the youngest child in Zihua's family, right? He was only 5 years old. This third mother-in-law and son-in-law are amazing!"
“It stinks.”
"I heard that he was drunk and fell in accidentally."
“Hahaha, so funny~”
"Now, I'm afraid he will become famous."
"What's his name? I'll definitely talk about this when I go back to my parents' house."
"Wu Shanchuan, from Guanqiao Village."
"It just so happens that I have a relative in Guanqiao Village. I will go to his house tomorrow."
“…”
Lin Su'e also heard these discussions and cheered in her heart, while thinking to herself: Did I really fall in accidentally?
Subconsciously looked in the direction of Zhao Zhenyi and Zhao Zhenren.
Zhao Zhenyi couldn't see anything.
Zhao Zhenren's eyes lit up, afraid that others wouldn't notice his happiness.
Lin Su'e: "..."
The case is solved.
"Kicking someone into the pit, this..." Lin Su'e praised sincerely: "This is really great! He is worthy of being my child."
This night.
The Lin family members all slept soundly.
However, it was the most torturous night in Wu Shanchuan's life. Before dawn the next day, he left quietly without disturbing anyone.
To this.
Lin Su'e and her family didn't take it seriously.
Had breakfast.
Zhao Chunlan and Wu Pandi also had to leave.
Now, the whole family felt really reluctant to let go.
Zhao Fenglan held her hand and said, "Sister, please stay at home for a few more days~"
Zhao Yulan hugged her and acted coquettishly: "Sister, I don't want you to leave."
Zhao Zhenxin held her hand.
Zhao Zhenli hugged Wu Pandi and said, "If you want to leave, go alone. I will hide Pandi."
Zhao Chunlan looked at a loss.
"alright."
Lin Su'e's face turned serious: "Don't bother your eldest sister."
As soon as these words came out.
All four of them let go.
Lin Su'e looked at Zhao Zhenren and said, "Boss, ride your bike to take Chunlan and her daughter back home."
"Okay, Mom."
Get in the car.
Lin Su'e handed her a big bag and said, "There are biscuits, candies, preserved fruits and some pork jerky in it. They are for you and Pan Di to have a snack. You should hide them secretly and don't let your mother-in-law find out."
She bought all the biscuits, candies and preserved fruits.
She dried the pork jerky specially for Zhao Chunlan and her daughter.
At the Wu family's house, it was not convenient for them to take out fresh meat, and even if they did, they could only eat two bites. In order to supplement their nutrition, she could only choose this method to let them eat meat.
Zhao Chunlan was moved, she clutched the cloth bag tightly and nodded heavily: "Mom, I know."
Lin Su'e patted her shoulder and said, "Take care of yourself."
…
The incident of Wu Shanchuan falling into the manure pit in the middle of the night was discussed in the village for two days, and the matter gradually subsided.
Life returned to normal.
The whole village concentrated on harvesting rice, threshing millet and drying it.
Pay the public grain tax.
Distribute food.
Lin Su'e's family received 500 kilograms of food.
Looks like a lot, right?
However, on average, each person only had 2 taels of food rations per day.
How is this possible!
In previous years, we planted more sweet potatoes and potatoes in our private plots, and also planted some pumpkins and winter melons near our homes and mixed them together for consumption.
It's true that my farts smell bad all year round.
However, if you grow crops yourself, one mu of land can yield about 600 kilograms, and 4 or 5 mu of land is enough for a family to eat.
The new grain has arrived.
Every household started making glutinous rice cakes.
This is the custom in Pu County.
Every year when the new rice comes, people make glutinous rice cakes (glutinous rice cakes) which are first offered to the ancestors, and then the whole family gathers together to eat the glutinous rice cakes.
Nowadays, glutinous rice cakes are all made by hand.
This is a technical job, and only the eldest and second oldest child in the family can do it.
The two of them took turns.
When the rice is steamed, put it into a container while it is still hot. One person turns it over while another person beats it hard until it becomes a stringy rice cake.
Lin Su'e is responsible for making the dipping sauce.
Sesame material: soybean powder, sesame, sugar, peanut powder, mix well.
at the same time.
She also boiled brown sugar.
If you want to eat glutinous rice cake, eat glutinous rice cake. If you want to eat brown sugar glutinous rice cake, eat brown sugar glutinous rice cake.
Zhao Zhenren likes them all.
Zhao Zhenyi likes traditional glutinous rice cakes: "Mom, your seasoning is so fragrant, the sesame seeds and peanuts are crispy and fragrant..."
"Brown sugar is good, but it's easy to get sick of."
Zhao Fenglan is a staunch supporter of brown sugar glutinous rice cakes. She retorted unhappily: "You have no taste. Sister, I think brown sugar glutinous rice cakes are more delicious."
Zhao Zhenyi said earnestly: "I won't argue with you. I am your brother, so I will give in to you."
Zhao Fenglan was furious: "Zhao Zhenyi, stop it! I am your sister."
Zhao Zhenyi shook his head and sighed.
Zhao Fenglan: “…” So angry.
She took a deep breath and didn't intend to talk about this with him. She asked Zhao Zhenli: "Old Four, do you prefer glutinous rice cake or brown sugar rice cake?"
Zhao Zhenli had a glutinous rice cake in his mouth and looked confused: "Me?"
Zhao Zhenyi looked over with a blank expression.
His face trembled, and he hesitated again and again: "I like glutinous rice cakes."
Zhao Zhenyi smiled.
Zhao Fenglan gritted her teeth.
She: “Zhen Xin…”
Zhao Zhenxin said with a serious face: "I like glutinous rice cakes."
Zhao Zhenyi chuckled with pleasure.
Zhao Fenglan was embarrassed.
Zhao Yulan said at this time: "Second sister, I like brown sugar rice cake."
Hearing this.
Zhao Fenglan's eyes suddenly lit up, she hugged her and kissed her: "My good sister is still very tasteful!"
Zhao Zhenyi raised his eyebrows and smiled, but said nothing more.
It’s okay to tease your sister, but if she really makes someone angry, doesn’t she need him to coax her?
Lin Su'e looked at the lively appearance of the children and felt that she would never get tired of watching them for the rest of her life.
