Bracelet space through the past and present? Take it

Zhou Yun and Zhou Chi went back with two strings of medicine bags each on their shoulders.

As expected, Aunt Chen and Mrs. Chen had returned home.

"What are you hanging here?"

Aunt Chen saw the pattern on the paper package and asked, "Medicine from Baohetang? Is it for Lingling?"

She remembered that Lingling stopped taking medicine two days ago?

But she saw Chen Jiakang nodded: "Yes, mother, my cousin bought it."

Upon hearing this, Chen immediately looked worriedly at the three siblings who had come in from behind, and walked towards Zhou Lingling: "My daughter, what's wrong with you?"

"Have you seen Dr. Bai? Why did he prescribe so many medicines?"

Could it be that my daughter’s old injury has relapsed?

It was all her fault for not wanting to part with the chain and not giving her daughter the right medicine...

Chen's eyes were red with guilt. She turned around and walked towards the side room, ready to sell the gold chain and buy medicine for her daughter!

Zhou Lingling was caught off guard by the sudden operation and was stunned for a moment before she reacted.

She quickly grabbed Chen and said, "Mom, I'm fine. This is not the medicine I took."

Chen held her daughter's hand and said, "My daughter, I know you are sensible. I am sorry for you..."

"Don't worry, we'll cure you even if we have to sell everything we have!"

Zhou Lingling curled the corners of her mouth: "..."

"Mom, we don't have any pots or iron to sell you!"

Chen: "..." The emotions that had just risen were immediately dispelled by her daughter's words.

Zhou Lingling took Chen's hand and shook it, grinning at her:

"Okay, mother, aunt, you don't have to worry. This is really not medicine to be taken. I want to make something to eat."

"food?"

evening,

Butcher Chen and his son packed up their stall, closed the door, and went home carrying a small piece of leftover fat and unwanted offal.

As soon as I reached the entrance of the alley, I met Zhou Laoer who was returning from the dock.

As soon as the father and brother greeted each other, an overbearing fragrance hit their noses.

The three hungry people swallowed at the same time.

Uncle Chen said, "Someone's cooking meat! It smells really good!"

Zhou Lao Er also nodded: "It smells good."

Butcher Chen said, "It smells like someone's from our area. Ask your mother to go ask around later."

Their family was a butcher, and neighbors often came to exchange things for leftover meat and bones.

People tend to be greedy when they get older. Occasionally, the old lady would take the initiative to exchange a few pounds of meat for some delicious food. The Chen family has a very good relationship with their neighbors.

We continued walking towards home, and the fragrance became stronger the further we walked.

I was almost home, but there was a circle of people gathered at the door.

Aren’t these their neighbors?

"What are you all doing here?"

Hearing the voice of Chen the Butcher, Wu Xiucai squeezed out from the crowd.

"Brother, go back and see what delicious food your family is cooking!"

"Master Chen is back! Quick, let Master Chen in..."

It was dinner time when we smelled such an overbearing odor. Some people ran out with their bowls in their hands.

They sniffed here and there and finally found that the smell came from the Chen family's yard. They were too embarrassed to go in with their bowls in their hands, so they could only lie there and sniff again and again.

Butcher Chen glanced at his son and son-in-law.

Could this fragrance really come from our house?

When Chen the butcher opened the door, he saw a big pot in the yard, with something gurgling inside.

That scent...

It’s just that!

The four brothers from the Zhou and Chen families were gathered around the pot, drooling.

Chen Jiaan quickly stood up when he saw his grandfather and father coming back.

Then I found out that they brought back a bunch of people, and these people were holding bowls in their hands...

"Xiao An, what are you cooking at home?"

Why does it smell so good!

Wu Xiucai came over and took several deep sniffs.

Yeah, what are you cooking?

This is what others want to know too.

Chen Jiaan looked at the little figure following his grandmother around in the kitchen like a little tail, and the corners of his mouth curled up:

"It's braised food, made by my cousin."

In the afternoon, my cousin put a handful of medicinal herbs she bought into a large pot of pig offal and cooked them together, which scared them.

I didn't expect that the more you mix them together, the more fragrant they become...

They almost couldn't help but reach out to grab it.

At this time, Old Mrs. Chen came out holding a winnowing basket.

"Hey, everyone's here? That's great, I don't have to send you off."

As she spoke, the old lady picked up her chopsticks and stirred the pot twice, then picked up several long strings of pig intestines, pig ears, pig stomachs, and pig heads...

These things are left over from yesterday's sale. Although it is already autumn, the weather is still very hot recently.

Fortunately, their well is deep enough, so these things left in the well are only edible today, and will go bad overnight.

Every time the old lady picked up a piece of meat, the Chen Jiaan brothers and the neighbors in the yard would swallow their saliva.

"Oh my god, this smells so good, even better than Zhang Ji at the old street corner..."

The old lady from the Li family lived to the right of the Chen family who was speaking.

To the left of the Chen family's house is a small, shabby courtyard where Wu Xiucai lives. To the right is a courtyard about the same size as theirs, where the entire Li family lives.

Old Mrs. Li and Old Mrs. Chen have a good relationship, and the two families often interact with each other.

Hearing her words, Old Mrs. Chen looked up and smiled, "Of course not! My granddaughter said this is an exclusive secret recipe, how could it not be delicious?"

At this time, Old Mrs. Chen was in high spirits and looked very proud. There was no sign of the discomfort she had shown looking at the pot of medicinal herbs in the afternoon.

Her precious granddaughter is the most amazing!

Old Madam Li couldn't stand her showing off so much and snorted, "No matter how capable the little girl is, she's still your granddaughter, not your biological granddaughter!"

She has granddaughters, and they are all filial and sensible.

You can just envy that old lady Chen!

Old Mrs. Chen was unhappy when she heard this.

"What's wrong with a granddaughter? My daughter also gave birth to a granddaughter! She's my own granddaughter!"

"You old bastard, you're so mean, I won't give you any food!"

The two old ladies started arguing with each other, and everyone was amused by it. This was the norm in their alley. Anyway, the more they argued, the more affectionate they became.

Old Mrs. Chen distributed some braised food to each of her neighbors, and after they left, the family sat down at the table.

"Here it comes! Braised food platter!"

"Cold pig's head!"

“Rich and fragrant bone soup!”

“Stir-fried bok choy!”

Zhou Lingling stood there with her hands on her hips and took a deep breath.

Hmm...it smells okay!

Uncle Chen rubbed his hands in anticipation: "Wow, our Lingling has worked so hard today, preparing such a large table of dishes."

It smells so good!

"That's right! We are exhausted today."

The old lady pulled her granddaughter over to sit down and fanned her with a look of heartache.

"It's so hot out here, just tell your mother and aunt what to do, and don't run around on your own. Your injuries haven't healed yet!"

My aunt also said, "Look at your blushing face! You little girl, you still don't trust me and your mother, and you have to keep an eye on us!"

Zhou Lingling, whose mother nodded her head, smiled and said, "Hehe." She didn't dare to say that she was really worried about them washing her large intestine.

The whole family was busy all afternoon, but I didn't do anything. I just walked around a few times, but I was exhausted.

The elders took care of her. The pig offal was washed by Chen and Aunt Chen, the broth was boiled by the old lady, and she added the ingredients herself. Later, her brothers watched over the fire to cook it.

Hey!

This physical quality is still too poor.

Zhou Lingling was deeply touched by the elders' concern:

"Grandma, I'm fine! Come and try these. Are they delicious?"
