For lunch, Old Lady Qin fried two vegetables, and the rest was all wild boar meat, including braised spare ribs, braised pork, and spare rib soup.
I don’t know if it’s because of Grandma Qin’s good cooking skills, but the wild boar meat doesn’t smell at all, and the meat is tender and melts in your mouth.
Everyone was eating with their mouths full of oil. The children were chewing on the ribs one by one, and Qin Han was held in Xie Yuwei's arms while eating rice soaked in meat soup.
He already has eight baby teeth, four on the upper and lower parts, and can normally eat a few grains of rice.
But what he wanted to eat more was the spare ribs and pork belly with red oil and red sauce, and his eyes were wide open.
He found that sitting down to eat with his family every day was simply torture. He could only look but not eat, which was so tempting.
"Han'er, be good. You can eat meat when you grow up a little bit. Eat some rice first, and you will grow taller." Seeing that Han'er was unwilling to open his mouth to eat, Xie Yuwei could only coax him gently. Qin Han could only resign himself to his fate and eat the rice soaked in meat soup.
After lunch, Grandma Qin started to wash glutinous rice and make rice dumplings. In addition to chestnut and meat dumplings, she also made red bean dumplings and white dumplings. Adults like to eat candied dates, so she also made three pounds of candied dates.
With the help of several daughters-in-law, three hundred dumplings were wrapped in about an hour.
Then put it in a big pot and cook it. One pot can’t hold all the food, so you have to use two pots at the same time.
The children were already waiting in the kitchen early in the morning. The kitchen of the new house was very big and could accommodate twenty people at the same time.
In this way, when the weather is cold, the children can all eat around the stove.
The kitchen used to be too small, so after picking up the food, everyone had to squat at the kitchen door to eat.
Soon the rice dumplings were cooked. The fragrance of glutinous rice mixed with the rice leaves instantly spread in the kitchen and floated outside.
In the evening, the children were full after eating rice dumplings, so Grandma Qin did not cook any extra rice. The adults ate some leftovers from lunch and the day ended.
The night passed in a flash, and the sky turned pale, heralding the arrival of a new day.
Today is the day when Lao Qin's family holds a housewarming party, but not many people come to eat.
In Zaojiazhuang, apart from Captain Liu's family and several of Chen Guofu's cousins, the only family left is Wang Hongxia's family, who has a relatively good relationship with Old Lady Qin.
Then there were Old Lady Qin’s sisters and nephews, five tables in total.
There is no other way. There are two tables for Lao Qin's family alone, and the remaining three tables are used to receive guests.
As for other people in the village, although Old Lady Qin did not invite them to dinner, she gave each household a handful of candy and peanuts and melon seeds.
Others continued happily, saying congratulations and the like.
Only Fu Qiumei was sarcastically saying that Old Lady Qin was stingy. She had built a two-story house, but she was reluctant to even have a housewarming party and just sent people away with a handful of candy and a handful of peanuts and melon seeds.
Old Mrs. Qin doesn't spoil her. You think it's not enough, right?
Then don’t eat them. Just take back all the peanuts and melon seeds candies you gave away.
Even though Fu Qiumei admitted her mistake, Old Lady Qin still ignored her.
People who are never satisfied will never be satisfied no matter how much you give them. It is better for them to keep the food for themselves and eat it slowly. Anyway, it will not go bad if they are left out for a while.
After breakfast, Old Lady Qin and several daughters-in-law started busying themselves in the kitchen.
Killing chickens and rabbits.
There were also three big black fish that Qin Jiandang caught in the reservoir early in the morning, weighing more than twenty kilograms each.
Later, Qin Han took out five more soft-shelled turtles from the space, each weighing more than three kilograms, which were perfect for braising.
We have enough meat and vegetables, and now we need to prepare some vegetables, all grown in our own plots.
There are water spinach, cucumber, beans, loofah, tomatoes, and lettuce.
Old Mrs. Qin chose a few things to cook, among which tomatoes can be used to make egg soup.
Children all like to eat it with rice soaked in tomato and egg soup, but most people eat it raw, just like eating fruit.
The kitchen was busy and the children were not idle either. Except for the boys who were out playing, the rest were surrounding Qin Han.
Qin Han, who is more than eight months old, weighs nearly 30 kilograms and is almost as tall as a one-year-old child.
There's no way, there are no short people in the Qin family.
Over the past six months, the children who were originally short have grown a lot taller after supplementing their nutrition, and now have a normal height for their age.
Besides, they are still growing up, and it is possible that the boy will surpass Qin Jiandang and his brother in the future.
Girls are at least 1.68 meters tall. Qin Qiu is almost sixteen years old, and her height is already over 1.68 meters. If she grows taller, she should be able to reach 1.7 meters.
But Zhang Xiumei doesn't want her eldest son to grow too tall. She thinks it's hard for a girl to find a partner if she's too tall.
After all, in this era when people can barely get enough food to eat, people are generally not very tall, and the situation in Lao Qin's family is a rare one.
I once heard Qiu'er's grandfather say that there was an ancestor in their family who was two meters tall, and the subsequent generations were shorter than the previous one.
My father-in-law is the shortest one so far. When it comes to the brothers who founded the party, they are taller.
Judging from the children's situation, they should not be shorter than their father-in-law. But they must not grow to two meters tall, otherwise they will not be able to find a wife.
"Brother Han'er, look what this is?" A voice full of surprise came from outside.
Qin Han was being held in Qin Qiu's arms, with a small tuft of hair tied up on his head.
This was the injection Qin Qiu had just given him, and it was the result of his futile resistance.
He seriously suspected that these little brats did not like him, but treated him as a toy for entertainment.
This made him want to grow up faster so that he could escape from the "devil's clutches."
He is a grown man, how can he tie his hair?
Just when he felt like he had lost all hope in life, Qin Man walked in from outside, followed by Qin Xia and Qin Dong.
This summer, the two of them have become Qin Man's followers.
Looking at Qin Man who was sweating profusely, Qin Han looked over curiously, only to see him stretching out his hand to him as if offering a treasure, with something tightly clenched in his hand.
In fact, Qin Han could use his spiritual sense to spy, but he didn't do so. The main reason was that he was also very curious about what Qin Man would show him.
Under his curious gaze, Qin Man opened his palm, and there was a cicada lying in his palm.
But the child was too aggressive and forgot that cicadas could fly. As soon as he opened his hands, the cicada flew away immediately.
Qin Man suddenly felt annoyed, as this was originally a gift he was giving to his younger brother Han'er.
He put so much effort into catching this cicada, but who would have thought that he would just let it fly away. He was really stupid.
Qin Han looked at the annoyed man and used his spiritual sense to control the cicada. The cicada that had just flown away flew into Qin Man's palm again.
Seeing such a magical scene, Qin Man’s eyes widened immediately. What was going on?
But a child is a child. He was puzzled for a while, and then happily handed the cicada to Qin Han.
Qin Qiu was afraid of scaring Han'er, so just as he was about to speak, he saw Qin Han clapping his hands excitedly and muttering, "Great!"
Then, without any fear, he stretched out his chubby little hands and caught the cicada.
But he felt extremely tired inside. Was it Qin Man who was coaxing him, or was it him who was coaxing Qin Man?
