"You talk, I'm going to cook?" Ding's mother got up and said.

"I'll help you." Shen Yiling then stood up and said.

"No, no, it's easy to eat." Ding's mother waved her hand.

"I'll help you light the fire." Shen Yiling said insistently, looked back at Ding Guodong and said, "Ruhong's father, remember to pee." ”

"Oh!" Ding Guodong immediately stood up, looked at the children who were playing happily and said, "Come down, go to the toilet quickly." ”

Put shoes on the children, let them go to the vegetable patch in the yard, put water in the water, and come back to play with the blocks.

When there are many children, there is no need for adults to watch them, they can just play by themselves!

It was even happier to have Red Tassel and Liberation to play with them.

Ding's father came out of the kang, went to the toilet and came back to look at Ding's mother and said, "Father Daddy, you take some steamed buns from us, as well as soy sauce, vinegar, and salt, and go to see those educated youths. Should it be said, will they cook? There was also going to the brigade to get a thermos for each of the boys and girls. He sighed lightly and said, "Come now, don't you know if you have money or tickets in your hand?" Even if there is a supply and marketing cooperative, I don't know if there is a stock? Years ago, they were in a hurry to make people buy short. Let's make do with this year! ”

Ding's mother stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go over there and have a look." As he spoke, he picked up some steamed buns from the steamed bread basket, put salt into a small clay pot, soy sauce and vinegar, and put them into the clean beer bottles at home in a funnel, and also took some peppercorns, spices and pickles.

Because men and women are separated, it is not good to favor one over the other, so Ding's mother directly got two copies.

It's also a coincidence that it's just in time for the Chinese New Year, and it's not convenient to buy anything.

The people who come are 'guests', and you can't really ignore them.

"Ruhong's mother, I've already got the millet, you can boil the water when the time comes, just dig it and get the rice." Ding's mother instructed her.

"Got it, Mom! Go ahead and go! Shen Yiling looked at her and said.

Ding's mother put the things in the basket and carried the basket out of the house.

&*&

The Ding family reunion was full of laughter, while Ling Danshu and Lian Wenwen were a little bleak.

After lunch, clean up the kitchen and their lunch boxes, and then continue grinding the noodles, the men joining in much faster.

After grinding the flour, he brought the winter cabbage and radishes, pots and pans provided by the brigade, and went back to his house to continue to clean up the house.

The dusty stove and the simple wooden shelves on the stove were cleaned, and even Wenwen didn't want to add ingredients to it when she was cooking.

The pots and pans brought from the brigade were cleaned inside and out, and then the pots were placed on the earthen stove.

When it was time to cook dinner, Lian Wenwen and Ling Danshu stared wide-eyed, "What should I do?" ”

"I can cook, but I can't light a fire." Lian Wenwen said with a sad face.

"I've trained in the wild, and I'll make this fire, but I still haven't used this earthen stove, so I don't know if it's going to work." Ling Danshu scratched her head and said, "This is really embarrassing!" ”

"Give it a try!" Lian Wenwen frowned and said, "I'm worried about the boys now, will they cook?" ”

"Regardless of whether they live or die, let's solve the problem in front of us first!" Ling Danshu said in a big tone unkindly, squatting in front of the stove as she spoke, grabbed some hay, stuffed it into the stove, looked at the matches on the stove, polished and lit the hay, and then put in the flammable fine dry wood to start the fire.

It is difficult for Ling Danshu to make a fire, she has never been in the kitchen to cook, and she can't tell the difference between sugar and salt.

Lian Wenwen skillfully washed the iron pot with water, and scooped the water of the two people's rice into the pot.

Ling Danshu looked at the amount of water, frowned slightly, and said, "Is it a little less?" ”

"It's a lot, my grandfather and I just have so much water, boil it down, it's just enough for the two of us to eat." Lian Wenwen looked at her and said.

"Wenwen, have you forgotten that this earthen stove has a big flame, and your water will be boiled up quickly." Ling Danshu reminded her.

"Ahh After her reminder, Lian Wenwen looked at the iron pot, and the scoop of water she had just scooped in was already boiling.

"I really forgot, this is a big earthen stove, and the fire is strong. It's not the gas stove we use. Lian Wenwen hurriedly said, "You make the heat smaller." ”

"Got it." Ling Danshu suppressed the fire.

Lian Wenwen held the scoop of water, looked at the pot, and hesitated how much water to put in.

"Why don't you hurry up and pour water, why are you stunned!" Ling Danshu raised her eyes and looked at her in a daze.

"With such a big pot and fire, I can't know how much water to put in it." Lian Wenwen said with a look of embarrassment.

"You just do it! Anyway, as long as you don't dry the bottom of the pot. Ling Danshu said very casually.

"I'm afraid that it's too thin, the clear soup is too watery, and we don't have steamed buns, so it's hard to make a thin soup and fill a big belly!" Lian Wenwen said angrily.

"Uh......" Ling Danshu rubbed the tip of her nose with her index finger embarrassedly and said, "You call the shots!" "She's not good at cooking, so let's listen to her! Suddenly, he said, "Wenwen, you can steam steamed buns!" I don't want to eat that tortilla, I feel like my throat is strained. As he spoke, he reached out and touched his throat.

"I can steam steamed buns, but now I have to have yeast and edible alkali." Lian Wenwen said regretfully, "It's difficult for a good woman to cook without rice." "Tell me how much water to pour?" Raising his eyes to look at Ling Danshu, "Puff......

"What are you laughing at?" Ling Danshu looked at her inexplicably and said.

"Your face is like that of a little cat." Lian Wenwen looked at her and smiled.

"Where?" Ling Danshu stretched out her hand and wiped her face indiscriminately.

"Don't wipe it, the more you wipe your face, the more you will spend." Lian Wenwen smiled, "It's your hands that are dirty." ”

Ling Danshu took out a handkerchief directly from her pocket and wiped her face.

"I think you'd better wash your face for a while." Lian Wenwen shook her head and smiled, and asked seriously, "How much water do you put in it?" ”

"You can do whatever it takes, it doesn't matter if you put more water, you can't finish eating, you can continue to eat tomorrow morning, it's cold anyway." Ling Danshu said casually, "You hurry up and do it!" I'm a little hungry, and I'm tired from working in the afternoon. ”

"Alright, I'll do whatever I want." Lian Wenwen smiled and directly added two more scoops of water.

Ling Danshu worked hard to add firewood and burn the fire vigorously.

Lian Wenwen slapped her thigh and suddenly shouted again, "Oops! Oops. ”

"What's wrong?" Ling Danshu was so frightened that she raised her eyes and said, "What's wrong." ”

"There is only food, but no vegetables!" Lian Wenwen looked at her and said.

"Didn't we get cabbage and radishes from the brigade." Ling Danshu pointed to the shrunken dry cabbage and crumpled radish piled up at the foot of the wall, and said disgustedly, "Stir-fry some, make do with it." This brigade is okay with us! Even the oil was given to us. ”

"How to fry without salt." Lian Wenwen said with a broken face.
