Mr. Chen pondered for a moment and spoke tentatively, "There are a few new pot brushes upstairs." It means that one can be dismantled and a few sorghum stalks can be pulled out.

Xiaoxi nodded, "Master, then you can help me draw a few sorghum poles. Three or four of them will be enough."

"Yes." Old Master Chen pushed the stool and walked towards the bedroom.

For them, the staple food is rice and the side food is noodles. I occasionally eat Huizi’s buns, dumplings, and dumplings. When corn is tender, they peel them into the pot to cook porridge. When they are old, they choose the best, the grains are full, and they grind them into fine powder. When they are cooking porridge, they mix into fine paste and pour them into the pot to cook corn flour and flour porridge. They are all delicious.

In this way, corn is consumed less, mainly for the livestock at home, such as chickens and pigs.

Sorghum is basically planted every year in every household, but it only grows a little, not even a cent of land. Choose the land that is not fertile enough to plant it.

Sorghum stems are used to tie pot brushes and brooms. These two are usually used and are indispensable in every household.

For example, now, the floor of the house is full of soil, and the broom tied with sorghum stalks is much better than the brown broom I bought. Even if the mud floor at home was later replaced with cement floor, this broom is better than other brooms.

As for sorghum rice, Xiaoxi didn't pay attention to it. Mr. Chen did not know what he did. She didn't know, anyway, she had never eaten it at home.

Oh~ I have a few sorghum pillows at home, and I look a little old.

So, Xiaoxi heard someone say that it is very strange that his family eats sorghum rice, how to eat sorghum rice?

"Hey~ These four-sen beans are delicious." Old Master Chen grabbed a four-sen bean and ate it. His eyebrows raised and his eyes lit up, and he said to Xiaoxi.

After hearing this, Chen Yubin, who had just despised the vegetables and lifted the green beans. He only found the meat below to eat, and quickly picked up the chopsticks and the green beans to taste.

"Yeah, it's delicious..." Before the green beans in their mouth were completely bitten and swallowed, Chen Yubin hurriedly expressed his opinion.

Mr. Chen frowned and looked calm. He tapped the edge of the bowl with the chopsticks in his hand, "Eat it and talk. Wait until the things in his mouth are swallowed. If it is not covered, it will be vomiting everywhere. The person at the front of his house will have nothing to see. If anyone else sees it, he will still tell them very much."

Chen Yubin's raised mouth drooped, pouted, nodded, and said "um". His interest in eating decreased a little, but it would be better again in a while, and he would not be able to get along with what he could eat.

Xiaoxi also picked up chopsticks and tried the green beans. "Well, it's really delicious... It should be the oil from the pork belly. I put the green beans next to it and soaked the oil in the green beans, so it tastes very delicious when baked."

Thinking of a better barbecue method, Xiaoxi's eyes lit up and said to Mr. Chen: "Hey... Master, then I'll barbecue in front and vegetables in the back, especially those with good flavors such as potatoes and eggplant... but the meat is not much better."

There is not much left, but there is not much left, which means little.

"Well, yes, it's better to bake this than just roasted with clean oil. Half the meat left, and you'll have some vegetables to cook for us, as well as rice." Mr. Chen stretched his neck and looked at the marinated meat in the meat basin.

"Well, indeed, I'm seven or eight percent full now." Grandma Chen rubbed her stomach with her empty left hand and said to Xiaoxi. She had eaten the most.

"Not enough, isn't there any soup? Drink two bowls of snacks at home. If you're hungry in the afternoon, just eat two more pieces." Mr. Chen said indifferently. He had never eaten so well before. After thinking about it, he said, "But I guess it's enough."

"That's OK." Mr. Chen has a good control over the appetite. He can basically do without any leftovers, and everyone is full.

But like a guest at home or asking for help, I am still used to cooking more meals.

First, prevent accidents, tired of working, a large increase in appetite, or other guests suddenly come to your home. You can't say that you are eating and letting others watch.

The second is that if the rice is just right and someone wants to scoop two bowls, they will feel embarrassed to scoop it when they see that there is not much rice in the pot. As a result, they will be hungry and complain when they go home, saying, "This family can't even eat enough for help (or visiting)" and saying "No"; or after eating, they see that there is no left in the pot. Even if they are full, they will say that you are stingy and you can't bear to cook more rice.

Therefore, in addition to eating with your own family, if someone else is there, they will cook more, both to prevent accidents and to prevent other people's verbal talk.

The stream was very surprised. They ate all the vegetables and left the meat.

Looking at the remaining half bowl of barbecue, Xiaoxi pushed Chen Yubin on the chair, "Binbin, you eat the remaining meat, otherwise you will have to warm up at night."

Chen Yubin didn't even dare to touch his stomach. He swallowed, shook his head, and said weakly: "I have the heart but I don't have enough strength! I don't eat anymore. I'm too full. If I eat it again, my stomach will be broken." The meat is delicious, and it makes people feel endless aftertaste, but my belly is too small and I can't hold it anymore.

"Sister..." Chen Yubin pulled Xiaoxi's sleeve and said with a shy face: "Sister, why don't you put it in your space? Wait until I digest it for a while and you will give it to me... Hehe, it will still be hot then, so there is no need to heat up again."

Xiaoxi rolled his eyes directly, pulled back his sleeves, and held the meat bowl. Although Grandma Chen was spreading on the chair and squinted her eyes and pretending to sleep, Xiaoxi still turned her back.

Turning around and coming back, the bowl in his hand was gone, Chen Yubin giggled foolishly.

Although it was delicious, Xiaoxi still controlled the amount, but he still ate a little more than usual.

Everyone was full, and Grandma Chen and Chen Yubin were overeating, so they didn't have a good time to drink hawthorn water. Xiaoxi brought a plate of hawthorn cake and placed it in the middle of the dining table to let everyone eat something to digest food.

After resting for a while on the chair, he got up to help Mr. Chen pack up his things. Grandma Chen and Chen Yubin continued to stay at the head of the yard and spread it on the chair to bask in the sun.

When I returned to the house and passed by the chopping board, the stream did not see the oil basin. Instead, there was an extra plastic bucket under the chopping board with unknown amounts of kilograms, and most of the buckets of oil were filled.

Mr. Chen was washing dishes, and Xiaoxi had to go outside to bake chestnut cakes.

Sitting at the dining table, I thought it was really boring. Grandma Chen thought it was too roasted by the oven, so she sat far away and sat on the stone stool on the middle side to bask in the sun.

Only Chen Yubin was left sitting aside, dazed in boredom.

"Binbin, let's go and take out the homework to write for a while. You're still half of it." Xiaoxi stood up suddenly and pushed Chen Yubin.

"Ah..." The child didn't like to do homework, and he only heard his scream and his butt stuck to the chair.

Xiaoxi understood his thoughts very well, and she had experienced it herself. She went up, walked around his crunching nest, lifted him up, and coaxed him, "Okay, let's go get homework quickly. Today I will only do it for a while. If you are serious, you will only do it for two hours. OK? You're leaving."

Now Xiaoxi is in charge of Chen Yubin's study. Although Xiaoxi is usually very indulgent to him, she is very principled and very strict with him in this matter.

Mr. Chen also observed it secretly several times. Seeing that Xiaoxi was in good condition, Chen Yubin also listened to her. After a few times, he threw the matter away and threw it completely at Xiaoxi.

After coaxing and pushing, Chen Yubin followed Xiaoxi back to the house and got his schoolbag to do his winter vacation homework.

Their homework is just a book on winter vacation. Chen Yubin has not written half of it, and Xiaoxi has only more than ten pages left. She plans to finish it today.

"Sister~hehehe..." Chen Yubin was playing with the eraser in his hand, smiling flatteringly, "Sister, I'll copy your winter vacation life." Seeing that Xiaoxi was almost finished writing, and the answers behind him were too simple, he aimed at Xiaoxi. To be precise, he aimed at Xiaoxi's winter vacation life.

Xiaoxi's face turned tight and said in a slightly stiff tone: "No, you don't know how to do these things, you can't be lazy by doing them yourself." It's a big or small thing to copy homework, and Xiaoxi will not indulge him.

"Oh~" Chen Yubin withdrew his gaze, put the eraser in his hand into the pen box, and buried his head and did his homework seriously.

When Mr. Chen came out, he saw that the atmosphere between the two siblings was a little awkward. He put his rolled-up sleeves and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Xiaoxi glanced at Chen Yubin, smiled on his face, and shook his head at Old Master Chen, "Nothing."

Mr. Chen stopped asking more questions. He sat at the table and watched them do their homework.

Seeing that Xiaoxi had put the pen and was about to get up, he hurriedly stood up and pressed Xiaoxi's shoulder, "You do your homework, I'll bake this chestnut cake."

Xiaoxi thought about it, took advantage of the force and sat back, picked up his pen, and started doing homework again.

"Xiu, do you think this is OK?" Mr. Chen took out the iron plate, held the wooden handle in both hands, reached the iron plate in front of the stream, and asked.

Xiaoxi nodded, picked up a chestnut cake with chopsticks, and showed both sides to Mr. Chen, "Baking it into this color means it's cooked... By the way, don't burn too much fire inside, as the chestnut cake will easily burn."

"Well, I know." The chestnut cake in the iron plate was poured into the basket next to it and handed it to Xiaoxi, "You'll receive it."

Xiaoxi did not refuse, took it generously, put it in the space, and then placed the empty basket on the large bench.

Fortunately, Grandma Chen thought that the oven was too hot and she hid far away, otherwise she wouldn't know how to collect these chestnut cakes.

"Xiuxi..." Old Master Chen shouted faintly.

"Huh?" Xiaoxi raised his head in confusion and looked at Mr. Chen in confusion.

It is rare for granddaughter to look confused like this. Old Mr. Chen pressed the corner of his mouth that seemed to be about to rise.
