Crossing the farm gate, the whole family reunites in the disaster year

Wulang and his gang hurried to find Grandpa Mazi, identified some edible grass for cows, and ran straight to the foot of the mountain. Each of them brought back a handful of grass.

Everyone in the village knew that Lao Cui's family had a cow.

Old Mrs. Cui also came to the cowshed out of curiosity. She had lived for most of her life and had never had a cow. Now she saw a living cow stuck in the backyard, which seemed like a dream.

"Third brother, go build a feeding trough and a water trough. Such precious animals can't just eat grass on the ground..."

The trough was not yet ready when a group of boys rushed into the backyard, vying to put fresh grass into the calf's mouth.

"Stop arguing." Old Mrs. Cui's ears hurt. The noise was real when there were so many children. She forced a smile and said, "No need to fight. Everyone has a share. Line up by age. Whoever is the oldest should step forward."

Soon Sifu stood up with a silly smile.

Mrs. Cui thought for a long time: "What's your name?"

"Mother-in-law, I am Sifu."

"Okay, you come to feed the cows today." After writing down the names, Old Mrs. Cui directly arranged shifts for the children, one day per person, and whoever made a mistake would be blamed.

When Lin came back, Old Lady Cui had already made arrangements. Sifu was happily feeding the cows, while the other children watched eagerly.

"The third daughter-in-law is back. I've cooked lunch. Come wash your hands and eat later."

"Okay, mother."

Getting up early in the morning, one can do a lot of things in the morning. Originally, she planned to take a nap after lunch, but Lin was really craving for sour jujube cake, so she simply washed the sour jujubes and steamed them in the main room.

Cui Zhaozhao couldn't sleep, so he came out from the inner room to help peel the steamed sour dates.

"It seems like our family hasn't made sour jujube cake for a long time."

There was a small basin of peeled sour dates piled up. Lin mixed the pulp together and picked out the pits one by one. The sour dates looked big, but the pits were also big.

"On the way to buy the cow, I happened to come across a jujube tree, and Cui Laosan helped me pick some."

There are many small thorns on the jujube tree. Cui Chengliang is very skilled in picking jujubes, but she still noticed two small cuts on his hands caused by the thorns.

At that time, Cui Chengliang shook his hands and didn't take it seriously. For a farmer, minor bumps and scrapes were not considered injuries, not to mention that his hands were rough, so there was only a little blood.

"I haven't picked them in years, so my hands are not used to them. In the past, these sharp thorns wouldn't have scratched me."

I heard that he used to pick sour dates often, so I guess he likes this too. Lin didn't ask any more questions, thinking of making a lot of sour date cakes and giving some to him.

When Cui Zhaozhao heard his mother talking about Cui Laosan, he pouted and said unhappily, "Next time I go to pick sour dates, if you want to eat some, just tell me. I won't use him."

She went to Liushu Village, but she didn't expect that this man would find an opportunity. He looked like an honest man, and she didn't believe that he had other intentions.

"Don't worry, it's not what you think." Lin smiled and shook her head. The brother and sister met Cui Chengliang as if they were guarding against thieves. "Besides, the jujube trees have all been picked."

There is only one date tree, and it is already bare.

"Okay, then I'll go pick them next year." Cui Zhaozhao said worriedly, "Mom, tell me what you want to eat next time. I have everything here."

The mall is virtual. Cui Zhaozhao originally wanted to pat his pocket, but then he remembered that the mall was not in his pocket, so he finally patted his head hard.

"Okay, okay, mother knows." Lin smiled and said, "First, give me a pound of sugar."

"okay."

Cui Zhaozhao took an empty basin, and in a blink of an eye, the soft white sugar piled up into a peak.

Sour jujube cake also requires flour. In the morning, Lin took the 50 kilograms of wheat he bought to the mill to grind it into flour, which is just right for making sour jujube cake.
