Affection for Sidaogou during the Famine

Niu Xiaoyun also nodded repeatedly: "Director Zhang is good, and the other people in our neighborhood committee are also very good.

In other neighborhood committees, the officials are very arrogant and always make a fuss about things.

The neighbors were still talking about it this morning. Several people in Xicheng were paraded and criticized yesterday.

Do you know why? Just because he complained about the bad food and hunger, he was caught as an example.

Hey, I was labeled a bad element, I heard that I lost my job, and was sent to a remote farm for labor reform." Han Zhaozhao also frowned: "So, in the future, you must think more before speaking outside, and don't say anything.

Do you know whether the people around you will tell others about it? Some people are very bad. They smile on their faces but are not kind behind their backs. They just like to harm others and not benefit themselves, and report others for fun.

These days, one wrong word can really destroy a family."

Wu Xiaoyun had a bitter face, "Zhao Zhao, can we get over this? My sister scolded me severely last night just because I didn't pay attention to what I said."

"Cough cough cough!" Han Zhaozhao burst into laughter. As expected, she knew that Niu Xiaolian would not let her go easily.

After cleaning the pottery jar, Han Zhaozhao began to prepare lunch. She first blanched the pork leg bones, took them out and washed off the blood foam, then replaced the pottery jar with water and put the pork leg bones back in.

Add a small piece of Panax notoginseng and a slice of angelica, bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat.

A piece of hard firewood was added to the bottom of the stove. Han Zhaozhao washed a handful of rice and soaked it in a small porcelain basin first.

After the bone soup is cooked, she will prepare some vegetable porridge. Because she is bedridden, the old lady cannot eat anything too hard or greasy for the time being. At this stage, she should eat more soups for better digestion and absorption, and to prevent constipation.

She washed the pork belly, chopped it into minced meat, put it into a wooden barrel with the unused liver, and hung it in the well in the backyard to keep it fresh. She planned to make a stir-fried liver for the old lady in the evening.

Niu Xiaoyun helped by washing the old lady's clothes and hanging them on the veranda, then she helped watch the fire and pick vegetables, and was busy all the time.

"Xiao Yun, you can eat here at noon. I'll add some more rice, and we can follow my grandma and have a bowl of rice porridge each."

"I'll go to the canteen to eat. It's a public meal, so it's a waste if you don't eat it. You just bought a few kilograms of rice, so you should leave it for Grandma Han. If I eat here too, I'll finish it all in a few meals. What will Grandma Han eat?

Zhaozhao, how are you going to solve your meals in the future? Are you going to eat in the cafeteria or take the food home and cook it?

Did the neighborhood committee tell you how to solve your family's situation? "

"Director Zhang contacted the canteen branch and wrote me a note. I decided to go get the rations and cook them at home.

This makes it easier to take care of my grandma. You see, she needs someone to take care of her now."

As the two girls were talking, the large bones in the clay pot had been cooked. A rich aroma wafted into the air, with the aroma of meat mixed with a faint scent of medicine.

They both swallowed their saliva, oh my god, it smells so good and so tempting!

Niu Xiaoyun stood up and ran out. When she reached the main hall door, she glanced at the clock on the long table, grabbed her umbrella and was about to leave. "Zhao Zhao, the cafeteria is open for dinner. I'm leaving first and will come back this afternoon."

Without waiting for Han Zhaozhao to answer, he opened the door and ran away.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Try some bone soup later..." "Hey, it's raining, why are you running so fast?"

Han Zhaozhao chased out, only to see Niu Xiaoyun's back already entering the door of a crowded courtyard.

Just as I closed the door and returned to the kitchen, Niu Xiaomin and Xiao Sanzi came over, "Zhao Zhao, is Grandma Han okay? I heard she broke her leg, how is she doing?"

"The situation is not serious." Han Zhaozhao said, "Why are you here?"

Niu Xiaomin scratched his head. "We heard from Xiaoyun that Grandma Han was injured, so we came to see if she needed help."

"No need, I can do it alone." Han Zhaozhao smiled, "What did you do this morning? Have you had lunch?"

"Not yet!" Xiao Sanzi sniffed, "It smells so good, what delicious food are you making?"

"I made some bone soup and I'm going to cook some rice porridge." Han Zhaozhao opened the lid and stirred it. "Do you want to stay and eat with us?"

“No, no.” Niu Xiaomin waved his hand quickly, “We are just here to see Grandma Han, so we won’t disturb you.”

"You also bought pig's trotters?" Xiao Sanzi kicked the basin containing the pig's trotters. "You haven't packed them yet? Leave them alone. Let's go eat first. I'll help you pluck the hair in the afternoon!"

Tsk, why does this sound weird?

"Okay, I just don't like it. It's settled. I'll leave this job to you."

The two boys still tiptoed to the door of the old lady's room and took a look. They found that the old lady was still asleep, so they gestured and quietly left.

After saying hello to Han Zhaozhao, they went back. Han Zhaozhao felt warm in his heart as he watched them leave.

Another half an hour passed, the bones were cooked, the soup was milky white and thick, and all the collagen was boiled out. The aroma of meat filled the whole yard, and Han Zhaozhao added a little salt to season it, and took the pot down.

Pour the bone soup into the rice bowl, do not wash the ceramic pot, add some water, add the rice and continue cooking on the stove with the remaining fire.

"Zhao Zhao, help me get a spittoon, I need to go to the bathroom!" Perhaps the old lady finally woke up because of the fragrance in the air.

Han Zhaozhao quickly put down the work in her hands and ran to the bedroom to help the old lady up. She placed the spittoon in front of the bed and then helped her carefully get out of bed.

The old lady had her right foot on the ground, her left leg lifted up in the air, one hand holding the edge of the bed, and the other hand being supported by her granddaughter.

He squatted down with great effort and completed the first defecation after the injury with difficulty.

After helping the old lady to bed, Han Zhaozhao quickly took the spittoon to the backyard and emptied it. He then washed the spittoon, took it back and stuffed it under the bed.

"Grandma, you must be hungry! I cooked bone soup and rice porridge. The meal will be ready soon. Wipe your hands and let's prepare the meal."

Han Zhaozhao threw a wet towel and wiped her hands.

"How do you feel now? Does your leg hurt a lot? If the pain is unbearable, take a tablet of Analgin after drinking.

However, Analgin has many side effects, so if you can bear the pain, it is better not to take it. "

Han Zhaozhao reached out and touched her grandmother's forehead. She was fine, with no symptoms of fever.

"It's okay. I don't feel that much pain anymore! If I had to talk about pain, it was the most painful when the doctor set my bones last night. It's much less painful now. I can bear it."

After relieving herself and wiping her face and hands, the old lady felt much better.

"It smells so good, Zhaozhao. It's raining heavily. Where did you buy the bones?" asked the old lady.

"The vegetable market! When it was raining lightly in the morning, I went to the neighborhood committee to find Director Zhang... and then Director Zhang gave me two kilograms of meat coupons and ten kilograms of grain coupons..."

Blah blah... Han Zhaozhao smiled and told the old lady everything that happened in the morning, including that they could cook alone at home in the future.

"Thank you for your hard work, my dear granddaughter." The old lady said with emotion.

The porridge cooked very quickly. A thick layer of rice oil floated on the light green rice porridge. Just smelling it made one's mouth water.
