"Mom, what are you doing?" As soon as Xiaoxi entered the house, he saw Chen's mother looking for something in the big cabinet outside the kitchen.

Xiaoxi's house is a bit like the current suite, with a front and a back door. It is similar to the living room after the kitchen. There are front and rear doors on both sides, separated by a dirt wall in the middle, leaving a door. Next to the kitchen door, there are three large cabinets, one meter, two meter, seven meter, and one meter, five meter wide, and are used to store grain; the other one is piled with most of the peeled wood.

Going further inside, it is also separated by a dirt wall, two-thirds of it is used as a bedroom, one-third is used as a place for burning fire in winter and a dining table is set up.

Here, it is wet and cold in winter, unlike in the north where there are heating or earthen kangs. During the day, there is only a fire to keep warm. At night, fire charcoal is installed in the bedroom and heat up. Fortunately, the houses in the countryside are built tall and separated by wooden boards. The carbon dioxide is sewn along the wooden boards to the second floor, and then exits through the tile cracks.

Xiaoxi watched her mother take out the bag from the cabinet and went up to take a look. Oh, it was a locust flower!

I asked with some surprise: "Mom, are you making locust rice?"

Mother Chen looked at her smiling daughter and couldn't help but say with a funny look: "Yes, you have to eat more today!"

Then he looked at his daughter nodding seriously and agreed, and finally couldn't help but smile.

I can’t help but think of the scene of picking locust flowers that day.

On the Xiaoxi Family Team, it seems that there are two locust trees except for the two houses of Bean Dad's house next to the yard, which I have never seen before.

After breakfast that day, because there were still a few days before the busy farming season, Chen's mother accompanied her two children to play in the yard.

"Guihua, what are you doing? Are you busy?" Erpo asked when she came back from her son's house next to her when she saw Mother Chen and her two children in the yard.

Because there are four families living in one yard, the second wife's family has a kitchen, a bedroom and a storage room. Although there is a second floor, it is inconvenient for her son to get married and have children. So, a piece of land was drawn next to the yard and three earthen walled houses were built. It is only a minute away from the old yard. You can hear it by shouting.

Erpo had just gone to her son's house, and heard from her son that the locust trees behind the house had begun to hang strings, and some buds were already blooming and could be picked. She asked her to come back and ask the people in the yard to pick them.

Locust flowers are not precious things. If you ask your neighbors to pick them, you can't give them personal favors and win over neighborhood relations. Otherwise, people would say that just such things are hidden, as if others lack this stutter, which makes them look stingy.

"Second aunt, let's play with the two children for a while. If you are not busy, what's wrong with you?"

"There's nothing to do, it's just that the locust flowers behind Jianhua (the daughter-in-law of Er Po) can be picked. Ask us to pick them. Go and call your mother, we'll all go." After that, he went back to the house to find the equipment for the locust flowers.

Mother Chen thought about it and found that it was time to pick locust flowers.

After agreeing, he turned his head and said to the two children: "You two, go to your mother-in-law's house quickly, and you will say that your second wife asked you to go to your cousin's house to pick locust flowers and get a pawn."

After the two children left, Chen's mother took the things from the yard back into the house. She just found a Taoguan. Her mother-in-law took the two children to carry a Taoguan and came in through the back door and plugged it in. Then she locked the door and the whole family went to her cousin's house.

From a distance, I saw a bunch of people sitting behind my cousin's house, which was very lively.

There were cousin and two daughters in the family, three old ladies in the yard, Zhao Juan and Zhao Bo, and four people from the stream, chattered and almost quarreled. As the saying goes, three women have a play, how many games do you need!

Sophora flowers have bitter taste, flat nature, non-toxicity, and have the effects of clearing heat, cooling blood, stopping bleeding and lowering blood pressure. They have significant therapeutic effects on vomiting blood, hemorrhoids, bleeding from wind-heat, red eyes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, cervical lymph node burs, angiosclerosis, bloody stool, diabetes, retinitis, psoriasis, etc.; they can also deworm and treat pharyngitis.

Sophora can enhance the resistance of capillaries, reduce vascular permeability, and restore elastic function of fragile blood vessels, thereby lowering blood lipids and preventing vascular sclerosis.

The two locust trees behind my cousin's house are one big and one small. The large trunk is thirty centimeters in diameter and the small one is as thick as a bowl, and are both more than ten meters high. At this time, strings of white flowers popped out between the feather-like leaves, which are white and green, which is very cute.

A fragrant fragrance filled the air, making people take a deep breath and intoxicate it.

Whenever the flowering season comes, strings of white acacia flowers are decorated with branches, and the air is filled with a faint simple fragrance, refreshing and intoxicating.

Seeing that everyone was here, my cousin invited her two daughters to go back to the house and moved a few stools for everyone to sit on.

Zhao Bo is 6 years old this year, and he is very active and active in the house. Rural children are used to falling and slashing eggs, and it is common for them to go up trees and catch fish in the river, so he asked him to go up trees and cut down locust branches. Moreover, no one else can do this except him here.

If you want to pick locust trees, it is impossible to climb up the tree to pick it. That would be so troublesome. Moreover, the branches of the locust trees are full of thorns, which is inconvenient to pick. So you have to climb up the tree and cut down the thin branches of the locust flowers to facilitate picking.

When Zhao Bo heard that he wanted to climb the tree, he couldn't help but get ready to climb the tree and wanted to go straight to the tree.

But the adults were still worried, so they gave me a few more instructions.

"You have to be careful. This tree is so high, it's no joke to fall down."

"Slow down, there are many thorns on this tree, and itchy wounds are very itchy."

"Be careful, otherwise you will come down for me and you won't be allowed to go up."

"Pova, be obedient and be safe."

As a last resort, Zhao Bo had to make repeated promises.

He left the sickle to his waist, rubbed his hands, held the tree trunk, jumped up in a few strokes.

Zhao Bo poked his head and the people below shouted: "Get out of the way, I'm going to start."

Seeing that everyone took a few steps back, they picked up the sickle on their waists and started working. From time to time, some small branches fell off the tree, and in a short while, a hill was piled up.

"Pova, wait a moment, let's carry these to the side to pick them first, and you'll cut them."

After hearing this, Zhao Bo stopped and waited until the people below took the branches away before continuing.

Xiaoxi moved a small stool and sat next to his mother. He picked a bunch of acacia flowers from the branches and put them in his hands. It was cool and turned to his nose. A fragrant smell came to his nose, and he couldn't help but smile with joy.

Carefully avoiding the thorns with his left hand, holding the skewers with his right hand, and rubbing them from top to bottom, the white flowers fell into the pavilion, and soon covered the entire bottom.

"You carry the load, I lead the horse, welcome the sunrise and send off the sunset, flatten the bumps and form a road, after the hardships and dangers, set off again, set off again,..."

Because I was deserted on the tree and was lively under the tree, I couldn't help but sing a song to comfort my lonely heart.

Listening to the singing on the tree, several women couldn't help but think of CCTV's popular "Journey to the West", and then discussed the plot lively.

"The white bone spirit turned into a village girl who delivered food. Sun Wuzi's fiery eyes could tell that it was a monster at a glance. He just stepped forward and just made a stick. Oh, this Tang Monk is not grateful, and he wants to eat him, so he still helps."

"That's right, I don't know who is good and who is bad."

"Oh, you can't blame Tang Seng all for that White Bone Spirit, who can see the changes, but he can't see them."

"I can't tell what's wrong. I blame you again and again. If Sun Wukong hadn't subdued demons and eliminated demons all the way, he would have lived to this day."

"That's right, Sun Houzi helped him kill many monsters and saved him many times. He didn't believe in his own people, but he repeatedly believed in an outsider, not a human being, and finally drove Sun Houzi away." Listening to them discussing "Journey to the West", Xiaoxi couldn't help but interrupt. This is a classic, and I can't get tired of reading it.

Looking at Xiaoxi bulging his cheeks and pouting, everyone couldn't help but laugh. This was a whistle.

Everyone was picking locust flowers lively. The whole morning passed without realizing it. Everyone had almost finished picking it, so they said goodbye and took their things home.

When she got home, Chen's mother thought that most of her own Taoyuan was there, and Grandma Chen was only half Taoyuan, so she said, "Mom, come and I'll decorate you." As she said that, she reached into the Taoyuan and wanted to dress up locust flowers for her mother-in-law.

The mother-in-law quickly stopped him, waved her hand, and refused, "No, no, no, no, I'm enough of these."

Mother Chen insisted on pretending to be more for Grandma Chen, so Grandma Chen quickly picked up the Taohua and went home.

Looking at Grandma Chen who was walking away, she couldn't help but sigh. She tidied up her mood and took Taohua to the kitchen.

Looking at the children who followed in, he instructed him: "Xiaoxi, come and cook the pot in the middle." Then he washed the pot and added water.

When the water in the pot starts to emit water vapor, about 70 to 80 degrees, pour the acacia flowers from the pao sautum into the pot, stir it with a colander for a few times, and then take it into the pao sautum again. Then, two long benches in the yard, put the dustpan on it, pour the blanched acacia flowers in it, and spread it evenly with a pair of clean chopsticks.

After the acacia flowers are dried, find a clean bag to put them in. When you want to eat, just clean them.

When Xiaoxi, who came to his senses, watched his mother get rice in the ladder pot and cook the middle pot.

Add oil, ginger, garlic, chili sauce, then add diced bacon and stir-fry for a while, add washed acacia flowers, and finally add salt sauce and vinegar to season.

When the rice in the ladder pot can be filtered, find a clean basin to fill the rice soup, use a spoon to clean the rice soup, and leave only a little to avoid sticking to the pan. Then pour in the fried acacia flowers and cover it with a cup of rice, leaving the hot charcoal in the holes of the pot, and then stuff it for a while. In this way, you don’t need to stir-fry the rice anymore. After mixing the acacia flowers and rice, you can eat two full bowls.

Looking at the charcoal in the pot hole, Xiaoxi remembered the roots of the locust tree dug in the space two days ago. You must remember to plant them tonight.

Where to plant it? The trees on the mountain have not been cut off yet. Well, it’s better to plant it by the lake. At the lake is on the locust trees. Hehe, for the first time I saw it, others plant willow trees by the lake.

When Xiaoxi asked his mother, she couldn't wait to uncover the lid of the pot. A unique fragrance of acacia flowers came to her face with the steam.
