Teaching Son
Song Hongguo kneaded the stuffing into a ball and wrapped it in a layer of flour. White flour is very sticky so it won't fall apart when steamed. Then she dipped it in some water and wrapped it in a layer of cornmeal before putting it in the steamer.
inside.
The diameter of the steamer is not small, and about ten can be placed on one layer. She bought four at the time, but this time the filling was only for twenty-eight vegetable dumplings, so three steamers were enough.
Without waiting for her instructions, Ling Zhi was already on fire after drinking the malted milk, and the fillings were basically cooked, so it could be eaten in about ten minutes after boiling the pot.
While waiting, Song Hongguo grabbed a handful of millet and fed it to the chickens, making Ling Zhi feel very distressed.
"I can dig wild vegetables for them to eat!"
"They are still too young to grow just by eating wild vegetables. Do you still want to collect eggs?"
"That can't be the case..."
"Only occasionally, when I dig up wild vegetables, I mix them with cornmeal and feed them."
"..." There is no need to cherish cornmeal?
The chickens and geese were still too young, so Song Hongguo didn't dare to put them in the chicken pen in the backyard. They were temporarily kept in baskets until the weather got warmer.
After more than ten minutes, I opened the lid of the pot, the steam was steaming, and the aroma came out fiercely, hitting the door directly.
Ling Yuan said "Wow" and his eyes were as bright as stars in the dark night.
Although Ling Zhi felt sorry for Huo Huo for having so many good things, his sense of smell was fine. The fragrance came to his nostrils, and he swallowed subconsciously.
Song Hongguo was also a little impatient. When the heat dissipated a little, she picked up the vegetable dumplings one by one into the steamed bun basket. The basket was made of corn husks and looked like a granary. It looked simple, but in fact it was very elaborate.
It was delicate, thick, and had a certain thermal insulation effect. She had laid a layer of clean white cotton inside in advance, which was more than enough to hold about twenty vegetable dumplings.
"It's time to eat!"
The mother and son were sitting on the newly purchased wicker chairs, each with one hand. After breaking them open, the green spinach, tender eggs, and soft glutinous vermicelli seemed to suddenly come to life, wildly challenging the taste buds of the three of them.
.
Once you take a bite, the unspeakable deliciousness brings you an instant burst of satisfaction.
Song Hongguo lamented that it was not in vain that she had been busy for so long.
Ling Zhi sighed, Huo Huo had so many good things in vain.
Ling Yuan also sighed, it’s true that no one stopped him!
No matter how delicious the vegetable dumplings were, Song Hongguo could only eat three according to her appetite. The two little guys couldn't hold up after eating two. She found a basket, wrapped six of them in cotton cloth, put them in, and handed them to Ling Zhi.
"Send it to your third cousin's house."
Ling Zhi was a little reluctant, "Didn't I just give you buns yesterday?"
Hearing this, Song Hongguo didn't blame him. Food was scarce these days, and brothers and sisters would fight among themselves just for a bite to eat. It was understandable that he wouldn't be happy.
But what she should teach him, she still had to say, "I gave Baozi to thank him for helping us work yesterday, and today he helped us carry things. After working hard for more than two hours, let's just forget it?"
"Didn't my third cousin also say that it's nothing if the family helps each other, but if you're too polite, you'll get annoyed."
"They are kind, but we can't take other people's kindness for granted, right?" Song Hongguo explained patiently, "Brothers still have to settle accounts, let alone such a kinship, which is thousands of miles away.
Only by coming and going can we stay together for a long time. Relatives also need to be carefully managed, and this kind of human relationship is one of them."
"...Then the food you gave me was just to express your gratitude?"
Hearing this, Song Hongguo laughed and said teasingly, "What? Do you think I am trying to win over you in the name of gratitude, deliberately trying to please you?"
Ling Zhi blushed all of a sudden and said subconsciously, "No, why would I think that?"
Song Hongguo smiled and said, "Why are you so anxious? I don't blame you even if you miss me that much, because besides returning the favor, I really mean something like that."
Ling Zhi looked at her at a loss.
Song Hongguo said frankly, "We are new here and have no foundation. We are most likely to be rejected and isolated by the villagers. Even seeing that our family only has women and children, they will bully us even if they don't want to get rid of this predicament and potential danger.
The most effective way is to integrate into this village as soon as possible. My grandparents have passed away long ago, and my second aunt and my original biological mother have a bad relationship. There is a high probability that they will not treat me. So what else can I do?
Woolen cloth?"
She was earnest and seductive, with a gentle expression, "Of course we are familiar with my uncle's family, we are related, and we are the captain of the team. If we make friends with them, we will be able to establish a firm foothold in this village."
"If you want to make good friends, it's not enough to just rely on the blood relationship. It's easier to impress people by giving some things in moderation. After all, the saint in this world is the one who doesn't give up for five buckets of rice."
Ling Zhi was silent, thoughtful.
Ling Yuan listened with great interest.
"Of course, when I say this, I don't mean to make you go around building friendships in the future, nor do I treat all relatives as an exchange of interests. I just want to tell you a little bit of life wisdom, okay?
Make your life easier."
After thinking for a while, he stressed again uneasily, "I'm not asking you to mix things up like a fish in water, but it's still very necessary to be moderately flexible and harmonious."
At this time, Ling Zhi said, "My dad said that as a person, you must have a straight spine, be proud and characterful, and not flatter your superiors, do not bully your subordinates, do not play tricks, and do not be cunning..."
Song Hongguo rubbed her brows and said, "Your father is right, but this does not conflict with flexibility. There is a saying that you know the world but not the world, and you are smooth and naive. Hey, you can slowly understand these two sentences.
, when you understand the true meaning of this statement, you will also understand."
It is so difficult to teach children. Children are like blank slates. They dare not talk about deep things or shallow things, which makes them very tired. No wonder she watched videos in her previous life and saw many parents being broken down by their children.
She waved her hand, urging the two of them to deliver the things, and said, "You don't need to say too much, just be polite."
Ling Zhi nodded.
Ling Yuan smiled and added, "You have to be sweeter."
Otherwise, this vegetable dumpling will be in vain!
Song Hongguo pinched his beautiful smile and said, "You are smart, go with your brother."
"Well, don't worry, Mom, I know what to do."
The two brothers carried the basket and walked away holding hands. When they walked out of the gate, Ling Zhi asked, "Can you understand what mom said?"
Ling Yuan nodded, "To sum it up in one sentence, something will happen if you know how to do it."
If Song Hongguo heard this, she would have to vomit blood. She said so much and only expressed this meaning? Is she such a failure in teaching people and solving doubts?
Ling Zhi asked doubtfully, "Are you sure?"
"Of course!" After saying that, Ling Yuan sighed like a young adult, "Brother, mom is worried that you are too stingy, too upright, don't understand the world, and won't be flexible, because in that case, you will have no friends.
"
