Chapter 83 Rabbit head in the left hand, rabbit leg in the right
Little Su Bao immediately ran to the kitchen and came out carrying three small bowls she had made for herself.
She tried hard to swallow, not wanting her saliva to spill into the bowl...
"Mother, let's eat. Eldest brother and sister-in-law, eat. Second brother and sister-in-law, eat. Third brother, eat... Third brother, eat... Nephews, eat..."
The little dumpling sat obediently next to Qian Shi, secretly glancing at the meat on the table out of the corner of her eye.
Without any adults speaking, the little ones sat obediently.
That adorable yet greedy little face softened Qian's heart.
The dishes on both tables were the same, and the portions were roughly the same.
Yun Qi and the three Tang brothers were over there with Tang Dabao and Tang Erbao.
Madam Qian and her two daughters-in-law sat at a nearby table with Xiao Su Bao and Tang San Bao.
Wang Xiuer glanced enviously at her sister-in-law, sighed, and reached out to lift her son onto a small stool.
"Grow up quickly, so you won't have to sit with me anymore!" Wang Xiuer looked at Xiao Su Bao with envy.
That little girl eats so quietly, so well-behaved...
Wang Xiuer's eyes widened as soon as she finished speaking.
"Um... Mother, this is what they call the wind sweeping away the clouds!" Wang Xiuer swallowed hard and said with difficulty.
You've seen a little dumpling, with a rabbit head in its left hand and a rabbit leg in its right.
The time it takes to show off a rabbit leg is so fast you'll doubt you're seeing things!
"Pfft... Haha, this is called a whirlwind!" Yun Qi laughed so hard that the wrinkles around her eyes deepened.
The Tang family is quite interesting.
Wang Xiuer...
"Anyway, they're pretty much the same, Little Su Bao, you're better than me..." Wang Xiuer gave a thumbs up, looking eager to try!
Madam Qian sighed, glaring at Wang Xiuer before turning to look at Xiao Su Bao.
The little one is great in every way; in fact, he's quite well-behaved when eating, it's just...
That's too fast!
After finishing eating, he wiped his mouth clean and sat down obediently.
"Mommy, I'm full!" The little baby, seeing everyone looking at him, thought he had eaten too much and quickly covered his stomach and said.
She secretly hid the bone, planning to gnaw on it a couple of times when she got hungry at night to tide her over...
Sometimes, children think they are very smart.
For example, Xiao Su Bao...
"Auntie, why are you putting bones in your sleeve?" Tang Sanbao asked Xiao Su Bao in confusion.
Little Su Bao blushed and became somewhat flustered.
"I...I'm sorry!" She lowered her head, not daring to look at Madam Qian.
Mrs. Qian felt sorry for the little girl, but she didn't say anything. Let's take it slow!
"Alright, let's eat. You're too thin; this isn't enough!" Madam Qian said with a smile, adding a generous amount of rabbit meat to her small bowl.
Wang Xiuer also realized what was happening.
Without saying a word, she put her son in her mother-in-law's arms and rushed to Xiao Su Bao's side to put meat in her bowl.
"Mom... no... Second sister-in-law is telling you, children must eat well so they can grow tall and strong. Otherwise, what can a little one like you do?"
Little Su Bao stared wide-eyed at her second sister-in-law, then at her mother.
Madam Qian was speechless at her second daughter-in-law, who was always trying to steal her daughter away!
However, what this girl said today is not wrong.
Madam Qian patted the little boy's hair and said gently, "Yes, your second sister-in-law is right. You need to eat more, otherwise you'll be too thin!"
Little Su Bao's eyes grew bigger and bigger, and she nodded emphatically.
"Mmm!" She wants to grow up big and strong so she can help her mother with lots of chores.
I ate so much that my belly was completely round!
Mrs. Qian watched as the little girl ate half a pot of meat, and the little guy even ate a pancake.
I couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Is your tummy upset, little one? After you finish eating, take a rest and walk around a bit. Don't overeat!" Mrs. Qian glanced at the little baby, a little worried.
Little Su Bao smiled shyly and rubbed her tummy.
"I'm not uncomfortable, and I'm not overly full!" Little Su Bao said sweetly.
When Madam Qian saw that she was really alright, she breathed a sigh of relief.
After eating, Xiao Su Bao still remembered those pincers and immediately ran over to them.
"Su Bao, what are you doing?" Tang Qi asked curiously as he approached.
Tang Shan heard the two talking and looked over.
"Wash the bugs clean!" Little Su Bao squatted on the ground, sticking out her little bottom, holding a willow branch in her little hand. She flattened the end of the branch and began to brush the bugs.
It must be said that the little girl was very skilled, and she cleaned up the crickets in no time.
After finishing with the crickets, Little Su Bao was a little worried...
She's too young, she doesn't know how to do it!
That's a bit tough on the child!
Sun Cuihua had just finished cleaning up the dishes and came out when she saw a group of heads of all sizes squatting outside the kitchen.
She had also heard from her husband about the crickets that Xiao Su Bao had caught.
So Sun Cuihua said, "Su Bao, your older brother said you can make this cricket. Come and tell your sister-in-law, and I'll show you how!"
Xiao Su Bao immediately perked up, picked up a basin of cleaned crickets, and ran towards Sun Cuihua.
She looked up at her sister-in-law, her eyes sparkling.
"Thank you, sister-in-law..." The little one also wanted his mother, brother, sister-in-law, and nephews to give it a try.
Sun Cuihua picked up the basin; it contained quite a lot of food.
Little Su Bao rubbed her hands together, a slight blush on her cheeks.
"I'll start the fire!" Tang Shan sat down in front of the stove, eager to take on the task.
The others also wanted to come in, but the kitchen was so big that Sun Cuihua simply kicked them out.
Only Su Bao and Mo Bao remained...
Mo Bao was a guest, and the child couldn't speak, so Sun Cuihua didn't chase him away since he seemed to enjoy watching.
"Sister-in-law, do you have any wild onions, garlic, or ginger at home?" Xiao Su Bao asked hurriedly.
"Yes!" Sun Cuihua said with a smile.
Sun Cuihua took out some garlic, and Xiao Subao quickly started peeling it, saying, "These crickets are a bit fishy, so we need to use some minced garlic!"
Little Su Bao tried hard to recall what the mute old woman had done, and for the first time, her little mouth started chattering non-stop.
The Qian family and Tang Qi, who were standing at the door, were slightly surprised to hear Xiao Su Bao say so much.
In no time, the entrance to the Tang family's kitchen gradually filled with people.
"First, put oil in the pan and sauté the scallions, ginger, and garlic. Use plenty of minced garlic..."
"And soybean paste..." Little Su Bao remembered this and quickly looked at her sister-in-law.
The mute old woman makes all her own soybean paste; I don't know if they have it here.
Thinking of Grandma Mute's soybean paste, Little Su Bao couldn't help but lick her lips.
"The soybean paste you mentioned, is this okay?" There's a kind of local sauce in their Tangjia Village.
Little Su Bao glanced at it and immediately nodded.
"OK!"
Sun Cuihua is quite a good cook; her father is a chef.
Before long, a rich and fragrant aroma wafted from the Tang family's residence.
"What delicious food is the village chief making now?" Villagers couldn't help but peek inside the Tang family's house.
This is the second time today that they have been attracted by the aroma from the Tang family.
Last time it was meat, but this time it has a strange, inexplicable aroma...
"Why don't you go ask?" someone immediately urged the villager.
“Don’t try to fool me, I’m not falling for it…” the man said immediately.
Who dares to eat Tang family's food!
It's not that they don't want to eat, it's just...
Whoever eats this will be unlucky!
Last time, the old drunkard from the west side of the village stole an egg from the village chief's house, and had diarrhea for three days. Since then, he has given up eating eggs.
There is an unwritten rule in Tangjia Village: it is better to eat wild vegetables than to eat a single bite of food from the Tang family.
Other families spend money on food, but for them, food is a matter of life and death!
"Sigh..." Looking at the delicious-smelling food, but not being able to mooch a bite...
Don't you feel itchy...?
Little Su Bao and his friends had no idea that the entrance was now surrounded by idle villagers.
There were still some wild vegetables and cucumbers at home, and even some wild thorn sprouts were thrown into the pot.
The aroma grew even stronger.
Little Su Bao still remembers that Grandma Dumb would take out a kind of leaf called something like fragrant leaf, and a round thing called cardamom.
Unfortunately, the Tang family didn't have any of these things.
"Is it ready?" Sun Cuihua was clearly full, but the smell of the food made her feel a little hungry again.
Little Su Bao glanced at the bright red cricket and her eyes lit up: "It should be ready!"
Sun Cuihua brought the food out and placed it on the stone table outside the kitchen.
The Tang family members all gathered around, their eyes shining brightly.
"Huh, what's that smell?"
A carriage had stopped at the entrance of the Tang family's residence sometime earlier.
