Chapter 31 Red-braised?
She dug some soil and in a few days she would be able to plant vegetables.
In the afternoon, the sunlight shone through the branches, casting mottled shadows. Su Mingyue did not go up the mountain, but chose to stay in the backyard and began an intimate contact with the land.
She held a worn-out hoe in her hand, bent over, and dug the ground hard again and again, preparing to grow some vegetables to eat in a few days!
At this moment, Su Qingfeng came out of the house rubbing his eyes with sleepy eyes. When he saw his sister busy in the backyard, he turned around and ran back to the house without saying a word, picked up his own small hoe, and walked briskly to the backyard.
Although Su Qingfeng is still young, he works very well. Although he can only dig out a small piece of soil with a hoe, his seriousness and persistence are moving.
Time passed by minute by minute, and before we knew it, the sun had set.
Su Mingyue stood up and looked at Su Qingfeng who was trying hard to dig the ground.
She walked over to Su Qingfeng, gently touched his head, and praised him: "Qingfeng is so good. He knows how to help his sister with work at such a young age. He is such a hardworking and good child!"
Su Qingfeng, who was praised, immediately broke into a brilliant smile and became even more energetic. He immediately swung the small hoe in his hand vigorously.
Su Mingyue looked at Su Qingfeng who was working so actively, and suddenly realized that she seemed to have found an opportunity to be lazy in the future.
The sky gradually darkened, and Su Mingyue said to Su Qingfeng: "Qingfeng, stop working for now and go cook with your sister."
Su Qingfeng replied, "Okay," and returned to the yard with his hoe.
Su Mingyue planned to make braised rabbit meat in the evening. After preparing the rabbit, she went to the kitchen to chop it into small pieces on the chopping board. Su Mingyue looked at the rabbit pieces on the chopping board and became worried - she didn't seem to know how to make braised rabbit meat.
After thinking for a while, she suddenly had an idea. She looked at Su Qingfeng next to her and said to him, "Qingfeng, I want to make braised rabbit meat, but I don't know how to cook it. Can you go to the old house and ask grandma to come and help us make it?"
Su Qingfeng blinked his big eyes, nodded obediently, and then ran towards the old house. After a while, he led his grandmother back home.
Su Mingyue was secretly calculating in her heart, the robes she got this time were quite heavy, and she and Qingfeng had also eaten meat a few times these days, but they were not so greedy anymore. This time she brought milk to cook the meat, it would be unreasonable if she didn't take some back to the old house.
After all, her uncle's family usually took good care of her and Su Qingfeng, so she should send some of the meat to her uncle's family so as not to make them feel disappointed. The original owner has always kept this kindness in her heart.
But she came here, and although she didn't have much affection for Su Heping's family, they were really good to her during the time when she was injured, helping her vent her anger and supporting her. And she didn't want to quarrel with Su Heping's family.
Because she had no connections in the village, and Su Heping was the village team leader, and since she had traveled here, her next working days would begin soon, and she wanted her uncle to arrange a job for her that paid high points and was easy.
Now the people working in the fields are the strong laborers in the family. The women, young girls and old ladies in the family have not started working yet, so during the time Su Mingyue traveled here, she did not go to work. But soon, when the fields start to get busy, they will have to start working.
Thinking back to the pheasants that were hunted a few days ago, the quantity was limited, and the pheasants that were hunted some time ago were not enough for her and Su Qingfeng to eat. But this time, the robe was a big piece with a lot of meat! So, Su Mingyue decided to send some of the robe meat to the old house.
Thinking of this, Su Mingyue thought to herself: "It's just right for the old lady to cook rabbit meat today and robe meat tomorrow respectively, and she can also take the opportunity to learn how to cook robe meat! Yeah, perfect!"
Just then, Grandma Su walked into the kitchen with unsteady steps.
As soon as he saw Su Mingyue, he couldn't wait to ask, "Qingfeng said you wanted to make braised rabbit meat, but you don't know how to make it, so you asked me to come over and help, is that right?
Mingyue, please tell grandma where this rabbit came from! Qingfeng was so vague that I was worried!
Mingyue, you didn't go into the deep mountains, did you? Oh no, you can't go into the deep mountains! There are ferocious insects and scary bears in there. It's no joke!
Grandma knows that you are stronger than most people, but no matter how strong you are, you can't beat those beasts! Listen to grandma and don't run into the mountains again, do you hear me?
If you want to eat meat, tell grandma and she will go to the town to buy some for you! But you can’t go into the deep mountains! You must be obedient! Do you understand? You can’t go into the deep mountains!”
Su Mingyue felt an indescribable feeling in her heart when she saw Old Madam Su starting to nag as soon as she entered the room.
After hearing what Grandma Su said later, Su Mingyue looked at her with a puzzled look on her face and asked curiously, "Grandma, don't you need meat coupons to buy all the meat sold in this town? Where did you get the meat coupons?"
When Grandma Su heard this, she glared at Su Mingyue unhappily and muttered, "Really, you don't ask what you should ask, but instead ask about things you shouldn't ask! You're just a little kid, why are you asking so many questions! Humph! Let me tell you, even without meat coupons, your grandma can still buy meat without using meat coupons!" After saying that, Grandma Su looked at Su Mingyue with a smug look on her face.
However, when she saw Su Mingyue's look as if she knew everything, her face instantly turned serious, and she said to Su Mingyue seriously and solemnly: "Girl, no matter what, you must not go to that kind of place!
There are all kinds of people there, it's not a place a simple girl like you can just step into! Grandma, I'm old, I'm not afraid of anything, but you can't, you are absolutely not allowed to go to that kind of place, do you hear me?"
Su Mingyue nodded obediently and said, "Grandma, I understand! Please stop nagging me and hurry up to cook. I have been digging the ground all afternoon and my stomach is growling with hunger. Hurry up and cook!"
Grandma Su cleaned the rabbit meat quickly, asked Su Mingyue to light the fire, and started cooking the meat. She also asked Su Mingyue: "You haven't told me where you got this meat? Did you go deep into the mountains? Tell me the truth!"
Su Mingyue rolled her eyes, and used the same words she had used to fool Su Qingfeng in the afternoon, trying to deceive old lady Su.
