"Sister, you really won't spend my money, are you?" He blinked his eyes after saying that.

"real."

"oh."

After a while, "Sister, you really won't spend my money, are you?"

"Yeah, really."

"oh."

...

"elder sister……"

"Chen Yubin, you've got enough. I won't spend your money. OK. Besides, let's spit out my cherries." Xiaoxi was going crazy. Since she bought something, she kept talking and talking, and she couldn't stop eating.

Chen Yubin looked at the fried stream, put away the cherries in his hand, and muttered: "I won't ask anymore, really, it's not OK to ask." Then, after touching the lollipop in his pocket, he grinned again.

After Xiaoxi bought salt and baking powder, he bought five more lollipops, two of them himself and three of his younger brother.

After arriving at the second aunt's house, he rushed to the ground to pull the weeds and said, "Second aunt, I bought the salt back and put it in the kitchen for you."

Chen Cui looked up and smiled, "Well, okay, then I won't come back, you can just put it in the kitchen."

After putting out the things, he said to his second aunt not far away: "Second aunt, we are back, and my mother-in-law is still waiting to use yeast."

"That's right, slow down on the road!"

"Well, second aunt, we're leaving."

After returning home, he gave the baking powder to his mother-in-law, "Mother-in-law, we bought it back." He looked begging for praise.

"Well, Xiaoxi, Binbin is awesome, you can buy things for your mother-in-law."

After taking the baking powder, my mother-in-law took a porcelain basin to scoop the flour, beat two eggs, put the baking powder, added an appropriate amount of water, and started to knead the dough after purging her hands.

After kneading the dough, put a piece of gauze on the basin to prevent dust from falling. After finishing, place the basin on the chopping board to start doughing. In summer, the temperature is high, so there is no need to heat it up.

After getting the basin, my mother-in-law cut the cowpeas into pellets, put them in a porcelain basin for use, and then cut the bacon into a piece of washed last night and put half into the bacon containing the cowpeas.

I took out a large handful of washed leeks, which were made when Xiaoxi and they went to buy baking powder. Cut them into another porcelain baking pot.

After getting these done, my mother-in-law sat down and rested for a while, and then started cooking lunch quickly.

The porridge was cooked at noon, with pumpkin and sauerkraut added. Now the pumpkin is slowly starting to cook.

At Xiaoxi House, there are three meals a day. Generally, only the breakfast is porridge at night, and porridge or dry rice at noon (rice).

Well, the pumpkin is very noodles, very sweet, and it tastes so delicious. In the summer, the porridge is cooled and it takes two sips to go down, which is very exciting.

After lunch, the dough has fermented. After the bubbles burst, the dough exposed in the cracks becomes a sliver of sliver.

Because I had to steam buns in the afternoon, my grandfather didn’t go to herd cattle and my mother didn’t make cloth shoes.

During the slack season, mothers usually make cloth shoes for their family and knit sweaters and pants. At this time, rural people usually make cloth shoes for children, and few people buy shoes. The cloth shoes on Xiaoxi and younger brother's feet are from their mothers.

Pour the dough in the porcelain basin on the chopping board. After Chen’s mother cleaned her hands, she began to put the noodles in her mouth. She placed a scoop of noodles next to her. She sprinkled dry flour on the chopping board while putting it on, which was used to prevent the dough from sticking to the chopping board.

Grandpa took out two vegetable pots and started to season them. Grandpa Chen was a good at cooking.

My mother-in-law was not idle either. She started to carry firewood from behind the eaves (the eaves behind the house are very long beyond the earth wall, so they are used to pile firewood) to the kitchen, and they hugged a bunch of firewood (that is, the thick branches of the trees, cut into sections one by one). She also hugged some big firewood from the hall. She was placed in winter, and split the trunks into sizes that were conveniently stuffed into the pot hole. After air drying, she piled them in the hall. This kind of firewood was burned.

After the noodles are ready, the filling is delicious and seasoned. After holding enough firewood, mother-in-law washes her hands.

Mom put the noodles and pulled the dough into small balls of dough. Grandpa held a rolling pin in his hand to roll the buns skin, while mother-in-law made buns. Because two small steamed buns in the afternoon were not taking a nap, she was stepping on a chair and lying on the chopping board to watch the adults work.

Because it is slower to make buns than rolling dough and pulling dough, grandpa and mother stopped to make buns from time to time to prevent the dough from being stuck together after folding them for a long time.

A few turns with the left hand and a few pinch with the right hand, and a beautiful bun was born.

About an hour later, the buns were almost done, so my grandfather asked my mother-in-law to start cooking the pot.

Add a large pot of water to the big pot inside, and then put the steamer on the trunk. It was just right. My mother-in-law found the steamer in the morning and washed it and dried it.

Boil the pot and put a big firewood on it. After a while, the water boiled and water vapor emerged from the pot.

Find the washed banana leaves, spread them on the steamer, and then put the buns in order to prevent the buns from sticking to the steamer. There are several clusters of tall banana trees behind the house of Xiaoxi. Every time you steam the buns, you use banana leaves, which has a very fragrant fragrance.

How could there be fewer steamed buns with buns? Put the white and fat buns into the steamer. My mother-in-law watched the fire. Grandpa and mother began to put the remaining dough again and then tied them into small dough. However, this dough was much larger than the dough of the buns.

The steamed buns here in Xiaoxi and the others are used to wrapping them into round shapes. The palms of their hands are closed upwards and open, and they are squeezing down the chopping board. They are pinched and turned, and a round, white and fat steamed bun will come out in a while.

Put the steamed buns into the steamer, increase the firewood, and steam for about twenty minutes, and the meat fragrance will appear in the steamer.

Grandpa said "Okay", and Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin prepared the bowl.

After uncovering the steamer, Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin got a bun in the bowl, the mother-in-law lowered the fire, and grandpa spread the steamer layer by layer on the chopping board and it was cold. Then everyone started eating.

Chen Yubin looked at the buns inserted on the chopsticks and said in confusion: "It's obviously white, why is it so black?" Then he took a bite.

Because the flour used is home and has not been bleached, the steamed buns are not as white as sold outside, but the wheat aroma is stronger than that sold outside.

Xiaoxi still wanted to eat steamed buns, so he divided half of the buns to his mother and ate a steamed bun.

Because the dough of steamed buns was not added to sugar when they were first put, the taste of the steamed buns was just as light. Then the starch in the steamed buns was broken down into maltose through saliva amylase, and the strong wheat fragrance swept over the taste buds, and the whole mouth was filled with sweet fragrance.

After eating a bun, Chen Yubin saw his sister eating steamed buns and swallowed secretly. He wanted to eat it too! After touching his bulging belly, he secretly decided to eat more steamed buns to make up for this one at night.

After a few people were full, they continued to put the steamer on the chopping board and kept it cold. Everyone went back to the house to make up for the afternoon nap.

About an hour later, the adults got up and the two young men were also called to avoid sleepiness at night.

At this time, the steamed buns were all cold and they used two large baskets to pack them. The rest, Xiaoxi, Chen Yubin and his mother, brought a basket together (this was something the two little ones were scrambling to go), which contained the buns, which were delivered to the neighbors. They only gave to the three stores in the yard, and each store had basically five or six.

Dinner was very simple, and I cooked a pot of white porridge with clear soup and water. Although the rice was small, I cooked the big firewood for a long time. The porridge was very smooth and mellow. Then there were steamed buns and steamed buns in the afternoon.

I ate half of the porridge like Xiaoxi, and I was full after drinking a bowl of porridge. After finishing, I felt that the porridge was very fragrant and drank half a bowl of it.

At night, after my mother fell asleep, the stream entered the space and completed the daily tasks.

"Well, steamed bun, fragrant, let's have another one, tsk tsk..."

Listening to my younger brother's sleep, Xiaoxi covered his mouth tightly, afraid that laughter would appear, which would wake up his mother. Oh, it was so uncomfortable to hold it in!

The next day, after breakfast, my mother-in-law found a basket, packed about twenty steamed buns, and said to Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin: "Let's go, why do you go and deliver buns to my second aunt?"

Because the second daughter asked her to go home to steam buns the day before, she said that she was busy at home and didn't come. The old lady packed up a basket of briquettes after breakfast and prepared to deliver it to her.

Because he had to make breakfast for his two sons every day, he would feed pigs and chickens before he could clean up his house. When he went out to do the work in the fields, the second aunt had just cleaned up her house when she heard it.

"Second Aunt"

"Mom, why are you here?" Chen Cui looked at the three people walking not far away and asked in surprise, then remembered what Xiaoxi said yesterday. It was her mother who saw that she didn't go, so she brought it to her. Sure enough.

The mother-in-law handed the basket in her hand and complained: "It's so close. I called Xiaoxi yesterday to ask you to come back. If you don't come, I have to prepare it and bring it to you today."

"Mom, Xiaoxi, Binbin, come and sit down." After saying that, he brought the basket in his hand back to the kitchen and brought out another plate of melon seeds.

"Mom, you'll eat here at noon. I'm so deserted every day."

Because the two brothers had dinner at school at noon, except for weekends, my second aunt had dinner alone at noon.

"I heard from Xiaoxi that you said that your family is still busy and the grass in the field has not been hoed yet?"

"I have hoeed all the grass in the distance with a hoe. I want to pull the part in front of this door with my hands."

The land in front of Ergu’s house is more than two acres, of which half acre of land is used to make vegetable gardens and plant pig grass, and more than one acre of full-planted corn is left. After a rain, the grass is growing lushly.

"Let's go, I'll give you some help."

I spent the whole morning pulling the grass. At noon, I made rice from Ergu, a bacon stir-fried braised pork (this dish is mainly for pigs and rarely eaten by people. However, remove the leaves, cut the stem and add the meat to stir-fry, which tastes very similar to the cabbage gang), and a bacon stir-fried pork spicy.

After the meal, a bowl of boiling water and a chopstick of stir-fried sauerkraut will be a bowl of soup, which is delicious and sour.

After dinner, the second aunt was washing dishes, and the mother-in-law chatted with the second aunt in front of the stove. The two children were sitting on the chair and drowsy.

After washing the dishes, my mother-in-law said she wanted to go back, so my second aunt freed up the basket that my mother-in-law had when she came.

My mother-in-law took the basket, called the two little ones who were spread on the chair and went home. My second aunt gave it to her.

After returning home, the two little ones couldn't wait to fall on the bed, sleeping in a dark and sunny way.
