Porridge and side dishes [farming]

"That's why I can't buy so much." The woman who spoke felt sorry for Li Ji, "How much do you pay for so many things? Hua, in case something happens in the future, you always have to keep some emergency money, and you need money to marry a wife, don’t you?”

It can only be said that he is warm-hearted and speaks good things, but Li Ji was a person who loved to enjoy himself when he was young. When he was poor, he sold his corn and exchanged it for rice, not to mention that he has a little money now.

"Isn't this the first time the two of you lived together, buy more delicious food, besides, Er Gouzi also suffered a lot in the mountains."

After saying this, the woman's persuasive voice stopped, and she nodded: "That's right. Besides, Er Gouzi is nineteen years old, and it's time to marry a wife. This Er Gouzi will definitely move out once he gets married. Although you are The elder is also a young man who is two years younger than Er Gouzi, so it doesn't sound good to talk about living with the new wife."

These words made Li Ji panic, he smiled and said nothing.

Er Gouzi, who was silent beside him, suddenly said: "If you don't marry a wife, she will be my wife."

Li Ji's expression changed, and he raised his leg and kicked Er Gouzi's ass directly. Li Ji could pretend he didn't hear such nonsense at home, but how could he talk nonsense outside.

"What nonsense, I still have someone to teach you what's going on, and you haven't learned it yet." Li Ji smiled awkwardly and explained to the woman, "I told Er Gouzi that a wife is to wash clothes and cook for him. Sleeping on a kang, he thinks I'm his wife, no matter how I teach it, it's as if I didn't hear it, it's ridiculous."

The woman smiled from ear to ear: "Oh, which young man didn't mess up when he was young, Er Gouzi, who grew up in the mountains, still has a child's mind. He missed my nephew and grandson. When he was young, he insisted that he would marry me when he was young." My mother is a daughter-in-law, how is it now? If you marry him a daughter-in-law, you will almost forget me as a mother."

Li Ji was even more frustrated, he said hello with a dry smile and walked two steps quickly.

It was not far from the village, and it took two quarters of an hour to get there.Put all the things on the kang at home, and the two of them went to the kang to warm up first.

Er Gouzi looked at Li Ji who was lying on the kang, and asked softly, "Are you angry?"

"No." Li Ji's tone was very light.

Er Gouzi was even more uncomfortable: "I won't talk about it in the future, don't be angry, I will listen to you."

Er Gouzi never talked much, but he said so much today because he was really afraid that Li Ji would get angry.

Li Ji's mind was in a mess, and his mind was full of what the woman had told him.Er Gouzi married a daughter-in-law and they separated. They had a new wife and gave birth to a baby. Li Ji said he was the elder, but in fact he was born a little later. People who didn't know outside thought he was Er Gouzi's younger brother.

If it's my own fourth uncle, it's okay to gossip and live together, but it's not my own, and the two of them have only been together for a year and a half. Li Ji has no right to be with Er Gouzi after he gets married. stay together.

When he thought of Li Ji, he didn't feel irritable, but he didn't know what was going on, his father died early, no one taught him, and he was embarrassed to ask others, so he just thought about it like a dead end, very irritable.

Li Ji didn't answer, but Er Gouzi was very stubborn. He reached out and grabbed Li Ji's hand, expressing his thoughts very seriously word by word:

"If you don't let me say it, I won't say it; if you don't let me do it, I won't do it. I won't let you get angry, and you don't get angry with me. I will listen to you."

Li Ji was still distracted, and when he heard this, he turned around and saw that the child's eyes were red.

Li Ji hurriedly sat up, looking at Er Gouzi's uneasy eyes, he wanted to slap himself twice: "What are you thinking about, what did I say? It's okay, I'm just thinking about things, I'm not angry, be good. "

Hearing what Li Ji said, Er Gouzi calmed down, looked at Li Ji without blinking, and reconfirmed: "Aren't you angry?"

Li Ji couldn't help but reached out and rubbed Ergouzi's head vigorously, not knowing what was in his head: "I don't know what you think, can I be angry with you? I'm your fourth uncle, what are you doing to me?" I'm not even angry with you. You are two years older than me, don't play with me crying, you don't feel ashamed, I feel ashamed."

Er Gouzi's hand was held by Li Jifan, which made Er Gouzi feel more stable than ever. Er Gouzi looked at Li Ji in a daze, and suddenly reached out and hugged Li Ji.

Li Ji didn't know why the child went crazy again, he just thought it was the child who was wronged and looked for comfort, reached out and patted Li Ergou's back lightly, and began to reflect on whether he had really overlooked something that made Ergouzi feel wronged .

"You said that a daughter-in-law must be a woman." Er Gouzi said, "But I only want you, I just want to eat, sleep with you, and have babies together."

Li Ji was both moved and funny.I was moved by the fact that Er Gouzi really relied on him very much, that's why he said these ridiculous things.Er Gouzi didn't lie, but if Er Gouzi understood everything in two years, would he still say such things?

Li Ji still wants to speak, but he still wants to speak.

Even knowing that Er Gouzi is not clear-headed at this time, Li Ji wants to deceive himself more, and get along with Er Gouzi more like this, which is actually quite good.

It's Chinese New Year, and the owner of the firewood pond on the west side of the village opens a pond to sell fish. They pay attention to eating fish during the Chinese New Year, which means that there will be more than every year. But this year, people drowned, and this year's business is worse than previous years.

Fish is also meat, and it is much cheaper to buy it in the village than in the county. They are all from their own village, and the heaviest fish is only five yuan.

I bought ten first, and kept them in the second tank in the house. When I remembered, I would feed them some steamed buns and broken rice.

On the day I bought it, I ate two stewed ones. Each fish weighed five or six catties. If Li Ji couldn't finish one by himself, it was just right for Er Gouzi. Er Gouzi had never eaten fish. At first, Li Ji They all picked out the fish bones first, and after giving him a few pieces of meat, Er Gouzi liked the taste of fish meat, which was completely different from other meats. After the two fish were served on the table, there were only fish bones left.

Seeing that Er Gouzi likes to eat, and there is plenty of space for the second tank at home, I went to the owner of the chai pond to buy ten more.

Others would buy one at most, and some people would not buy it because they thought it was bad luck. Li Ji is definitely a big customer this year. The owner of the pond specially gave him an extra big fish, hoping to continue to take care of his business in the coming year.

Er Gouzi can eat meat every day, and the meat on his face grows again with a big appetite.Er Gouzi likes to go up the mountain. If he gains weight and goes up the mountain, Li Ji starts to control Er Gouzi's food intake, and let Er Gouzi run and exercise more when he is free.

The blessings at home have been pasted up, and there have been many people giving gifts in the past two days. Anyone who comes over will be chattered for a long time by the owner, the Li family.Li Ji and Er Gouzi are not people who like to listen to gossip, but they can only serve them with good tea and face. It is really not enough to suffer for that one catty of rice and two catties of noodles.

Thirty years, finally clean.Those who celebrate the Chinese New Year must eat something good, but unfortunately there are no fresh vegetables, so we can only use pickled vegetables and some long-lasting radishes, cabbage, potatoes, and sweet potatoes for the New Year’s Eve dinner.

There is a lot of meat at home, including cured bacon and frozen meat. A few days ago, Er Gouzi went up the mountain and hunted down a deer weighing more than 100 catties. There are more than 50 catties left.

Some wild boar and roe deer meat survived before.Li Ji prepared all the meat, and Er Gouzi helped him to cook a total of eight dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner.

Except for the stewed potatoes with spicy cabbage and no meat, the others are all meat dishes.Li Ji was still making dumplings, and Er Gouzi's eyes turned green looking at the dishes on the table.

Li Ji really loves Er Gouzi's gluttonous appearance. While teaching Er Gouzi to make dumplings, he said, "I know you have a temper to eat as much as you want, but let's eat half and keep the other half. As a rule, there must be leftovers from this New Year's Eve dinner, and the more money left over, the more money will be left over for the coming year. Please make a fortune."

Er Gouzi nodded to show he remembered, and followed Li Ji to pinch the dumplings.

There are a lot of dishes on the table, and the dumplings are not missing, because the meat is too much to be greasy, and the dumplings are filled with sauerkraut and lean meat.

Li Ji looked at the freshly made dumplings in his hand, and couldn't help but fly to last year, how did last year go?During the Chinese New Year last year, because the previous year’s harvest was not good, the corn I planted was barely enough for my own food. I didn’t sell any grain, I couldn’t eat rice, and I didn’t even have copper coins.

At that time, 15-year-old Li Ji celebrated the New Year alone. He didn’t even have any noodles for making dumplings, so he steamed a pot of steamed buns. At that time, a large pot of steamed corn buns was steamed, and one meal was full, and they ate enough for seven or eight days.

At that time, Li Ji was really satisfied, but now his nose feels sore when he thinks about it.

After drinking two catties of wine, the dumplings were wrapped and cooked.

The tables couldn't fit, so they had to be stacked one on top of the other.

Li Ji poured two bowls of wine, picked up the bowl to respect Li Ji: "Er Gouzi, you may not feel anything, but in fact I have been pointing at you to eat these days. Although you live in my house, I rely on I support you. I am your fourth uncle, and I have dragged you down in this matter. "

Er Gouzi seemed to understand the words, but shook his head: "This is my home."

Li Ji's heart was warm, and he passed the wine bowl forward: No matter what the coming year is like, no matter whether we will eat together for the New Year's Eve dinner next year, thank you for staying in this house these days, I respect you. "

Er Gouzi was about to speak when Li Ji raised his head and drank the wine in the bowl.Er Gouzi continued to drink, Er Gouzi was not used to drinking, but when he saw Li Ji drinking, he continued to drink, and Li Ji's performance after being drunk was really great.

"We'll always eat together, okay?" Er Gouzi asked seriously after drinking.

Li Ji thought stubbornly, Er Gouzi is treating him as a relative by saying this now, but if he really meets a girl he likes, he must leave cleanly.

"Okay." I don't know if he was in a hurry or what, the corners of Li Ji's eyes were slightly red, and he smiled wantonly.
