After seeing everyone off, Lu Huanying returned to the house and looked at the fresh pork leaning against the wall. She felt like she was dreaming.
Over the years, there was no meat in the hut, even ordinary coarse grains depended on whether Yang Dahua was willing to give them.
My gaze shifted to the silly girl hiding under the quilt on the kang, and I suddenly felt mixed emotions.
It would be better to warm up by the fire than to wrap yourself in that quilt. The old lady, amused but distressed, went forward and pulled back the quilt: "Don't be afraid, Yuzhu, they've all left. Get up and warm up by the fire."
Tian Yuzhu was shivering with cold. The kang was cold.
It's not that she's afraid of anyone, she just doesn't like dealing with people, and in everyone's eyes she's just a fool, so she still has to pretend.
When I got off the kang, I was not careful and my sleeve slipped, and all the herbs I had found fell to the ground.
Lu Huanying thought she had dropped something, so she picked it up and examined it in the light for a moment: "Licorice?"
She was surprised and delighted.
"Yuzhu, child, did you dig this?"
It shouldn't be possible for a silly girl to know about herbs!
Although it is said that people live by the mountain and eat the mountain, ordinary people are familiar with this common medicine, but Yuzhu's conditions are different from ordinary people.
Tian Yuzhu, who had already sat in front of the fire pit, stretched out her hands to warm the fire, blinked her clear eyes and nodded: "Mom taught me, ahem, it's edible."
"You mean... your mother taught you that this medicine can be taken when you have a cough? So this medicine was dug for grandma?"
Seeing the silly girl nod again, Lu Huanying's eyes became hot and she was so moved that she almost burst into tears.
Unexpectedly, the silly girl not only noticed her coughing at night, but also knew how to care about her.
What made Lu Huanying even happier was that it seemed that as long as she was taught carefully, the silly girl could learn some things, for example, she was very good at recognizing medicines.
Why not teach her more yourself? The more she learns, the better.
In this way, when she and Zhentang live together in the future, Zhentang's burden will be reduced.
"Yuzhu, you are such a good child, and you have a very kind heart. But remember what grandma said. If someone tells you to run to the mountains again, come back and tell grandma, or I will scold her to death."
Tian Yuzhu nodded: "Okay!"
"Good boy."
Lu Huanying lovingly smoothed her messy hair and said, "Now, grandma will teach you how to knead the dough, make steamed buns, and boiled pork?"
"Uh-huh!"
Cooking is actually not difficult at all.
In his previous life, the old man had a wide range of hobbies, one of which was delicious food.
Tian Yuzhu has received excellent training in all aspects of the base since she was young. She is good at cooking delicious dishes that her husband likes, which is just one of her skills.
But this world is stupid, so she has to pretend to learn from scratch.
And you have to learn it in a clumsy way, so that the whole process will not make the old lady suspicious and will make her happy.
Soon, the steamed cornbread in the small and broken steamer was ready.
After opening the lid and looking at the different-sized and crooked steamed buns inside, Lu Huanying couldn't stop smiling.
"Not bad, not bad. I only taught you everything from kneading the dough to being a grandma once. That's pretty good!"
Tian Yuzhu, with flour on her face, tilted her head and smiled with pursed lips: "..."
What's good about it? This is the ugliest meal she has ever made.
As for boiled pork, it is even easier to make and not at all troublesome.
Put the washed pork in the pot, boil out the foam and change the water, continue to simmer over low heat, then add salt and remove from the pot. The old lady will then cut it into thin slices herself, and that's it.
It can be said that there is no difficulty at all!
But there was no extra seasoning in the cabin, only salt, so there was no other way to cook it.
Watching the silly girl learn how to make fire and change water, she was in a hurry, her little face was covered with flour, and the tip of her nose was stained with stove ash.
Although a little stupid, she vaguely felt that the future was promising, and Lu Huanying's mood immediately improved a little.
After her grandmother and grandson prepared the food, she walked over and opened the small door.
Needless to say, we all know that Chengcheng and Doudou, the two little guys, must be drooling outside the door, waiting for the ancestor to open the door!
"Come in!"
Lu Huanying's voice was always gentle to them, and she pretended not to see Shi Xiaoli who quickly hid to the side.
The two little ones cheered and stepped into the cabin.
"Second Aunt."
"Second Aunt."
The little mouth is very sweet and calls people as soon as it enters the house.
Of course, Tian Yuzhu couldn't react too much, she just smiled with her lips pursed.
Almost everyone in the big room outside called her "idiot" all the time, but the two little ones knew to call her that. It was obvious that their mother Su Zhen had taught them well behind the scenes.
Lu Huanying slammed the door shut and said, "Okay, let's eat!"
After a busy day, her already weak waist ached even more. She pounded her waist and sat cross-legged on the kang: "Yuzhu, you set out the bowls. There are four of us, so we need four bowls, but we only have two small bowls. So, set out two big bowls. Try to count them."
Tian Yuzhu: “…”
The old lady was teaching her, but she couldn't go too far.
So he picked up the bowls and pretended to think for a moment, then placed one in front of Chengcheng and one in front of Doudou...
"Wow, Second Aunt is so smart."
"Second Aunt is both beautiful and powerful."
The four bowls were finally placed, and the two little ones clapped their hands in encouragement. Even the old lady smiled and nodded in satisfaction.
Tian Yuzhu: “…”
It's so fun to play dumb.
Then they divided the chopsticks and steamed buns...
Oh, she almost got lost in the praises of the little ones!
Compared to the laughter and joy in the small house, Shi Xiaoli, who was lying in the crack of the door in the big house outside, had twisted her neck sore.
She cursed the two little ones under her breath: "Two conscienceless little things, only caring about their own enjoyment."
At the same time, they were hoping that the old woman would change her mind and give them some meat.
As for Yang Dahua, she went outside the yard and stretched her neck to look around.
I waited and waited, and my nose was running from the cold, and finally my two sons and my husband came back.
She quickly told them that Tian Yuzhu had picked up a big wild boar and three live rabbits in the mountains.
He also exaggerated what the old lady said in front of the whole village about not sharing the meat.
"What? A whole pig? Mom, are you talking in your sleep?"
After listening to his mother's story, Shi Weiqiang, who had the most impatient temper, was the first to explode.
He opened his eyes wide, totally unable to believe his ears.
Yang Dahua raised her chin towards the roadside and said, "If you don't believe me, look at the pig hair that has been shaved off."
Yes, it was only then that everyone noticed the mess on the side of the track.
It seems to be true!
The three men's expressions suddenly changed, and they hurried back to the house in a hurry.
Yang Dahua followed them and grumbled, "Now the old woman means that we won't get any of the meat from the big house. She can handle so much meat. She's very generous to outsiders. Those who come up the mountain to look for the fool will each get one kilogram."
This sentence instantly ignited Shi Weiqiang's anger.
After entering the house, Shi De was busy putting the farm tools in the corner. The eldest son Shi Weimin was rubbing his hands and was about to ask his wife where the two children had gone.
Only Shi Weiqiang rushed to the door of the hut in anger and kicked it with his leg: "Open the door."
