Leisurely Farmer's Family: A Strong Man and His Broken Leg Son-in-law

Liu Yu couldn't help but laugh when Liu Shan mentioned Xie Weihu's inferiority complex.

Recalling the casual glance at the grocery store just now, it seemed that he was indeed very tall and tall.

Liu Yu glanced at Liu Shan beside him. In comparison, the third brother, who was still tall and slender among men, looked slender and frail!

"It's really not as good as your frowning look, just like the little wife standing next to him."

Liu Yu chuckled and said jokingly!

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's not big or small!" Liu Shan almost slapped Liu Yu on the back. After Liu Yu's jokes, his originally depressed mood became much more relaxed.

Seeing that Liu Shan was smiling, Liu Yu said seriously: "Looking at Xie Weihu's appearance just now, it's obvious that he doesn't care much about Brother Xian. If you really marry Brother Xian home in the future and live a smooth life, That’s better than anything else!”

Liu Yu didn't say a word, and the person fell silent. After a long time, he said a heavy "hmm".

When Liu Yu returned home, she saw the four children, Xiaoxue, Goudan, and Luya Qi, all chattering around the bamboo cage.

The bamboo rat inside may have seen so many children for the first time. It was a furry ball trying to huddle up in the corner of the bamboo cage. I don't know whether it was cold or afraid. The whole rat body was shaking slightly, and it looked so pitiful.

"Auntie, third aunt!"

In the yard, Xu Hong and Qi Chunhua both brought sewing baskets. The two sisters-in-law were sewing, and from time to time they glanced at the four children who were watching the bamboo rats.

"Ah Yu is back, the bamboo shoots are so easy to sell!" Xu Hong ran out of thread and was holding up a needle. She squinted her eyes and threaded the needle through it. After threading it several times, the thread just missed the needle hole. .

"Most of them are sold to restaurants and restaurants. They are relatively easy to sell and the prices are very good."

Liu Yu took the needle, took the silk thread in Xu Hong's hand, twisted the thread end, and with a slight stroke, the silk thread passed along the needle hole.

After Liu Yu finished speaking, she went to the kitchen. In the kitchen, Liu Meixiang was holding a spatula behind the stove. Nian had just lit the fire, and the immortal man was sitting in front of the chopping board, wrapping something.

Liu Yu looked around and saw that there were already ten or twenty flattened cakes on the pot made of sorghum stalks.

"What are you doing!" Look, it looks like the chestnut shortbread they sold before, but there will definitely be no chestnuts for them to pick at this time of year.

"Guess!" The water droplets in the pot turned into steam. Liu Meixiang used a spatula to scrape the oil and soak the pot.

Liu Yu looked at the chopping board and saw that there was stuffing as big as a baby's fist left in the two sea bowls.

Liu Yu took the bowl, took a sip, and said with a smile: "This is brown sugar and black sesame powder. It is used to make brown sugar cakes and black sesame fillings."

"But it's only half right!"

The pot was already hot. Liu Meixiang brought the pot over, gently put the pancakes into the pot, and told Nian to lower the fire.

"I know, it's shortbread." This is so much like the chestnut shortbread they make, except for the filling.

"Well, these are brown sugar shortbread and black sesame shortbread."

Changsheng wrapped a shortbread and flattened it, and said with a smile: "Sister heard about the chestnut shortbread we sell in autumn, and based on the fillings of the chestnut shortbread, she came up with two fillings."

"I'm just picking up people's wisdom and copying the gourd, but I don't dare to take credit!"

Liu Meixiang waved her hands, very modestly.

Not long after, the first pot of shortbread came out. Liumeixiang's tea and rice cooking was good, and he knew everything about the work on the stove. The outside of the shortbread kang was crispy and brown, and just looking at it made people salivate.

"Let's take it to the children first, and put away the bamboo rat at the same time. It's so pitiful that it was looked at all afternoon. I'm really worried that it won't be scared to death by these monkey cubs."

Nian added a very thin branch to the pot and directed Liu Yu.

Liu Yu was helpless, so she scooped up two ladles of water and went to the courtyard to wash the hands of several children.

When the bamboo cage was brought to the woodshed, the few children were not happy. When they heard that there were delicious and sweet shortbreads, they hurriedly ran over with their hands raised, and one by two they hurriedly put them into the water.

Winter cotton-padded clothes are thick and difficult to dry when wet. Liu Yu dare not let them put them in directly so as not to get the cuffs wet.

From childhood to adulthood, starting from Brother Qi, Liu Yu washed his hands one by one until he got the balls. He didn’t know what he was playing with, and his hands were extremely dirty.

"You're just leaving the house to dig out the shit, you're so stupid."

After washing my hands, I started to divide the shortbreads. There were six in one pot, one for each of the four children was enough.

Brother Qi thought it was too hot, so he held the shortbread with both hands, shouting that it was hot, but reluctant to let go.

"Ouch, little uncle forgot about your delicate little hands."

Liu Yu had just eaten a mouthful of cake after feeding Brother Qi. Goudan and Xiaoxue endured the burning and chewed their tongues, and had already eaten half of it.

"Wow! Delicious, delicious!"

"So sweet, so crispy, so delicious..."

"........."

The children were chirping, their eyebrows curled up as they ate, and they kept praising how delicious the shortbread was.

The second pot came out quickly. Liu Yu took two out and handed them to Xu Hong and Qi Chunhua: "I don't know what the filling is. My aunt and third aunt should try it too!"

The cake embryos had been finished, and when Liu Yu entered the house, Changsheng, Liu Meixiang and Nian each held a shortbread and ate it sweetly.

Seeing Liu Yu come in, Changsheng handed the last one to Liu Yu.

Liu Yujian Changsheng ate the black sesame filling, so she took the golden shortbread and took a bite. The crust was crispy, the inside was soft, and the sugar center was hot.

Liu Yu endured the heat and swallowed the shortbread wrapped in sugar in her mouth. She glanced at the chipped shortbread in her hand and saw that the brown sugar had become liquid after being baked on the kang.

The color is bright red, no wonder it's so hot.

The adults stopped talking after eating one piece. The children rarely had decent and luxurious snacks. With a wave of his hand, Nian gave each child another piece of shortbread.

The children were so happy that they held the shortcakes and howled.

It was getting late. Xu Hong and Qi Chunhua packed up their sewing baskets and were about to send people home.

Goudan was gnawing on the shortcake, feeling quite reluctant to part with it. He waved to Xiaoxue and said, "I'll come and play with you again tomorrow. Let's watch the bamboo rats and eat the shortcake."

"This boy actually thinks of good things!"

His daughter and granddaughter were settled in the old house, and she didn't have to worry about food, drink, and food. Xu Hong felt a little embarrassed when she looked at Nian and Liu Yu. She glanced at Chang Sheng and saw that there was no unpleasantness on his face. In the past two days, My nervous heart relaxed slightly.

"I still have two packs of brown sugar at home. I'll bring them tomorrow to replenish my health for you and Chang Sheng!"

"That's all, let's leave it to Tianyu's child during confinement. We don't need this at home, so you don't need to bring it to us!"

They are all people who have been there, and Nian Shi knows some of Xu Hong's concerns.

After sending away the first and second bedrooms, Mr. Nian had time to ask Liu Yu carefully how his business was going today.

Liu Yu told the whole story about today's trip to town. Thinking of Xie Weihu and the two he met at the grocery store, Liu Yu thought for a while and stopped talking.

He handed the candy he bought to Liu Meixiang, saying it was for Xiaoxue's sweet mouth, and took out a pack of brown sugar, saying it was a return gift for the Li family's bamboo rat.

Liu Meixiang took the candy, feeling quite embarrassed, and asked Xiaoxue to thank her uncle.

"Didn't you tell your mother-in-law before that you would go to her house after three dynasties to buy wine for your uncle?"

Nian couldn't help but said when she saw that the basket Liu Yu brought was empty.

"I changed my mind. I was talking in a hurry that day. I originally thought that my mother-in-law had treated me well since I was a child, and she would treat me the same way when I returned to their house three times a day."

Liu Yu put away the backpack and frowned slightly.
