MTL - Call Me Daddy-Chapter 73 , Alternative "Apocalypse" (9)
Deng Caihua is not the kind of parent who plays with the children and doesn't talk too much. Early the next morning, the plump Wuhua received a full set of hot bath. The wife collected them and planned to make a chicken feather shuttlecock for the two children to play with.
The weight of this well-raised old hen is really not low, and I don’t know how much extra food the two children have fed them during this time. Deng Caihua weighed it by hand, and felt that the net weight of the old hen with hair and guts was almost □□It’s a catty, it’s a pity that such a big old hen is only used for braised.
In the end, the old lady boldly decided to cook half of the big hen in soup, and stir-fry the other half to maximize its value.
The kitchen at home still retains the most primitive earthen stove, which happens to have two stoves, no gas or electricity is needed, as long as the fire is lit on the stove, you can cook. I have some savings in my home, and I haven't overturned the old house and rebuilt it. If there is no earthen stove, cooking at home will be somewhat inconvenient.
The fires of the two stoves have already been lit. Chicken soup is simmering in one pot. The old lady skims off the foam and adds a handful of soaked mushrooms and two red dates to it. The other stove is boiling water. Now the water heaters and kettles are no longer available. If you want to use hot water, you have to boil it yourself.
Looking at some firewood piled up in the corner, Deng Caihua thought to herself, if she has free time today, she has to go to the back mountain to pick up more dry firewood, since there is no electricity, she will have to use firewood for cooking and heating in the future.
There are many people in the village who still keep the old-fashioned fire stoves like theirs. Even if they don’t keep them, they will probably ask someone to make a new one these days. By then, there will be more people using firewood. Gone deep in the mountains.
Thinking of those weird little animals, Deng Caihua felt unsafe.
Both Susu and Yuanyuan were awakened by the aroma of the mushroom soup that drifted in with the steaming heat in the morning.
Susu wiped the halazi that flowed down in her sleep, got up nimbly, put on her clothes and pants, got out of bed and put on her little slippers, trotted to the kitchen, with a small mouth, watching the chicken soup being cooked casserole.
"Little greedy cat."
Deng Caihua looked at her little granddaughter with joy in her heart. The little fat girl who just woke up has messy hair. The croissant braid she wore yesterday was so high that it looked like a skyrocket, and a rubber band was loose. It hangs below the ears, and the two braids, one high and the other low, flicker with the little girl's running movements, funny and cute.
However, the little girl didn't realize that she had a strange hairstyle now, and she felt that she was still beautiful and invincible before going to bed. She didn't know that her eyes were still stained with small eye dropsy, so she smiled sweetly at grandma.
Deng Caihua thought to herself that she had to remind her son that she must untie Susu's braid before going to bed in the future. Sleeping with a rubber band is not good for the roots of the hair, so Dole panicked.
"It's not time for lunch yet, go ask your dad to wash your face and comb your hair, and check if your brother is awake by the way, tell him to get up and have breakfast first, grandma steamed custard buns for you , Ask your dad to pour you a glass of milk for your brothers and sisters, and then eat."
While talking, another little greedy cat drooling at the casserole appeared at the door of the kitchen.
After all, Long Wish is several years older than his sister, and he is much more reserved than his sister since he is already an older kid in elementary school. He only looked at the casserole for a few moments, and then forced himself not to look at it any more.
In fact, the conditions of every household are good now, the children eat and drink well, and it’s too late for picky eaters. There was a power outage, and the adults in the family were not in the mood to cook. Most of the three meals a day were simply home-cooked dishes or takeaway fast food. The children hadn’t eaten a big meal for a long time, so they got greedy.
And I don't know if it's because I haven't quenched my cravings for too long or because the old hen at home is so well raised. The chicken soup stewed today is extraordinarily fragrant, and the smell of wild mushrooms is really exciting. It's almost draining.
"Forget it."
The feet of the two children seemed to have taken root on the ground. The old lady had no choice but to pick up two pieces of meat without bones and some chicken skin from the casserole.
"After eating, go brush your teeth and eat breakfast."
As he said that, he stuffed a piece for each of his grandchildren.
Although the chicken soup has not fully tasted yet, the chicken is already cooked. The domestic hen is tender and chewy, and the chicken skin is oily and fragrant, and the wild mushrooms just put into the pot are seasoned. The soup that melts into the mouth is simply eye-catching.
Susu and Yuanyuan agree that Wuhua is the most delicious hen.
The two children are well-behaved and sensible children, and they accept it when they know it. After getting the promise from the old lady that they will use the other half of the hen to braise in soy sauce, the two children obediently followed the instructions to wash their faces, brush their teeth and eat breakfast.
Although Susu is not yet four years old, she can do these things without waking up her father. She still remembers that her father was busy outside yesterday and brought a lot of heavy things home. Dad must be very tired. She wants him to Sleep a little longer.
Indeed, without anyone waking up, Su Aobai and sister-in-law Kong Yao, who were under mental and physical pressure yesterday, slept until it was almost time for lunch before waking up even though the smell of chicken soup was wafting in the air.
Su Aobai scratched his hair casually, then took a towel and a mouthwash cup to go to the backyard to wash his face and brush his teeth.
There is a covered bathroom in the house, and all the equipment in it are complete, but in order to save some water bills, Deng Caihua gets most of the water at home from the deep well in her backyard.
Now that the water and electricity are cut off, the deep water well has come in handy. Unless the weather is severe, the family will not have to worry about water. Unlike most families in the village, they have already started to fetch water from the river.
When Su Aobai came to the backyard, he saw his daughter and nephew digging earthworms with toy hoes more carefully than before, catching small vegetable worms in the vegetable field.
"This is for Da Hua, this is for Huang Huang..."
The little girl muttered happily.
"Yeah, fat fat, big flower braised in soy sauce, yellow fried chicken..."
This is what my nephew added.
The two children looked at each other happily and smiled, with tears of joy streaming from the corners of their mouths.
Su Ao is silent, he really doesn't understand the children of today, he's too greedy, bah, it's so cruel!
*****
Because Su Aobai and Kong Yao got up late, the lunch time at home was also delayed a lot.
The braised chicken nuggets are made by Su Ao. He lives alone in the city all year round. The old lady knows that this son is not good at self-care. He often relies on cafeterias and takeaways for three meals a day, but he can make a few simple ones by himself. Home cooking, so after Su Aobai asked him to cook, he let him go, thinking that no matter what, it wouldn't be so bad that he couldn't eat it.
But who knows, where is it so ordinary, her son's craftsmanship is so good.
When the chicken soup was being stewed in the morning, two greedy cats wandered by the door of the kitchen. When Su Aobai was cooking chicken nuggets, the two adults, Deng Caihua and his daughter-in-law, couldn't stand the smell, so they used the excuse of worrying about letting Su Laoer cook. , staying in the kitchen, staring at the plate of braised chicken nuggets that was about to come out of the pan.
When Su Aobai put the dishes on the plate and was about to take them out, he was met by four pairs of shining eyes, which made him almost lose the plate in his fright.
"Eat, eat."
Su Aobai stumbled and said something, and saw his mother and sister-in-law quickly lifted the lid of the other stove to fill a few bowls of rice. Susu and Yuanyuan didn't need to be told by adults, they quickly stepped on the small stool and took the cupboard After cleaning a few small soup bowls and chopsticks and spoons in the house, I couldn't wait to rush to the main room to prepare for dinner.
Today's lunch at home is simple and hearty, three dishes, wild mushroom hen soup, braised chicken nuggets, plus a stir-fried cabbage, wild mushroom soup, so fresh that eyebrows fall off, let's talk about the braised braised dish made by Su Aobai Chicken nuggets, the chicken is tender and not old at all, the sauce is rich, and the deliciousness of the chicken itself is fully utilized. Scoop a mouthful of broth and pour it on the rice. Just eating like this makes people unable to hold their mouths.
You can tell from the way the two children eat, because they eat a little too fast, the rice grains dipped in broth are standing at the corners of their mouths, and as they chew, their bulging mouths move, and the crystal grains of rice also tremble.
The two children didn't notice their stupid and cute appearance, and looked at the chicken nuggets caught in the bowl by the elders, showing satisfied smiles.
Five flowers are so good, there are big flowers at home, and yellow...
They are the happiest children!
"Erbai's cooking is really good."
Kong Yao even picked up several pieces of braised pork and ate it down. After she relieved her craving, she finally slowed down her eating speed. She glanced at her uncle, why didn't she know that he had this skill before.
By the way, as long as my mother was around, I never let my brother-in-law cook.
Deng Caihua was also shocked by her son's cooking skills, but she didn't think much about it. After all, she only knew that her son would occasionally cook some simple meals by himself when he lived alone, but she hadn't tasted the taste of those meals. Maybe his son was cooking. Have talent.
"It's a simple home-cooked dish. You like to eat it. I will make it often in the future."
At any rate, there were two lifetimes as a man who opened a restaurant and a snack shop. It was no difficulty for Su Aobai to cook some home-cooked meals. Besides, he also wanted to subtly change his family's opinion of him.
Although the difficulty of this world is not particularly high, it is more like a world of vacation, but Su Aobai did not really plan to start a life of lying down under the protection of his mother and daughter.
"Dad is so nice, dad is awesome, Susu loves dad the most."
Without waiting for Deng Caihua to object, Susu raised her chubby hands to express her inner joy.
It turns out that her father is still a super delicious cook, and she has already planned to hand over the life of Da Hua and Huang Huang to her father.
The little girl originally had a good impression of her father because of her grandma's words, but now because of her father's excellent treatment of Wuhua, her favorability has increased gradually, and the little stars in her eyes can't wait to be full of her father submerged.
Deng Caihua opened her mouth, and was about to say that there was no need for her son to cook, but seeing her granddaughter so happy, she held back her words.
Forget it, cooking is not too tiring. Since the son is willing and the granddaughter is also happy, why should she stop it.
Kong Yao naturally didn't miss her mother-in-law's hesitant expression, and she was also very happy that her mother-in-law didn't refute her uncle's proposal in the end. It has changed the problem of not sticking to the spring water at home before.
In the past, the mother-in-law protected the uncle too much, but now the mother-in-law is willing to let go, and the uncle himself is willing to grow up, which may not be a good thing.
Of course, the most important thing is that the dishes made by my uncle are really delicious!
While the family was having a great meal, a guest came to the door.
"Are you still eating?"
A group of people standing in the yard were somewhat embarrassed to see the host family still holding their rice bowls.
All the folks who came here were from the same village. Since the night of the power outage, they couldn’t eat well or sleep well. Especially after the village chief came back from the government to inquire about the news yesterday, after what he said, the village was even more popular. Panic.
Who cares about eating? You can deal with two bites casually.
Today, when everyone was discussing after lunch, whoever suggested that the eldest son of the Su family was working in the government might have some inside information, a group of people came to the Su family to inquire about the news.
Villagers seldom choose a place to eat when they visit. After all, if you go to this spot, the host will always ask you to have a meal, no matter whether you agree or refuse, it will be awkward.
It's just that this time they didn't count on the host's lunch time being postponed, so they caught up with the embarrassing time for others to eat.
"Aunt Caihua, did you kill a chicken today?"
A middle-aged woman sat on the chair brought by Kong Yao, looked at the food on the table and exchanged greetings.
At this time, Su's family is still in the mood to kill chickens, but let alone, this dish is really delicious, and they have already eaten, but now they smell it, and they are still drooling.
"Isn't it that I have to take care of myself? Eat an old hen to make up for it."
Deng Caihua looked at the people who came, there were so many people, even if she wanted to treat everyone politely, she didn't have so much rice and vegetables.
The visitor also saw Deng Caihua's doubts, and hurriedly stood up as a representative.
"Mother Yiqing, we've already had dinner, so don't greet us politely, and blame us for coming at this time to delay your meal."
It was a middle-aged man who spoke, and beside him stood a young man about the same age as Su Aobai.
"This is our Xiaoxuan, you still know him, Xiaoxuan, call someone quickly."
He pushed the young man beside him, who twitched the corner of his mouth uncomfortably and called auntie.
"My son just came back from the city."
The man's expression was a lot more relaxed. Compared with those whose children were studying and working in other provinces, his family's situation was much better. When there was chaos outside, his son immediately found a way to come back from the city.
There are not a few people like his family in the village. Yesterday everyone may have been waiting and watching. Today, many people came back from outside. The trouble is that those who are in other provinces do not know what to do if they cannot be contacted. That's it.
The man briefly talked about what his son had seen and heard in the city, and then asked about the main purpose of their trip.
Everyone saw Su Aobai and Kong Yao driving into the city yesterday, they must have gone to see Su Yiqing to see if the other party had any internal news.
It's a pity that the result was disappointing. What Su Yiqing told was just some suggestions given by the village chief yesterday.
The group of people who came showed disappointment, but quickly ignited confidence.
Su Yiqing didn't have any internal news yesterday, so what about today after a day?
A group of people looked helplessly at Su Aobai, who they used to despise. Although they didn't say anything, their thoughts were written on their faces. They hoped that Su Aobai would go to the city again to find out about Su Yiqing.
The author has something to say:
Unexpectedly, what was originally planned to be completed in three or four days was delayed for more than ten days. The reason for asking for leave is a little shameful to say that it is to engage in superstitious activities/. …
I personally believe in science, and occasionally I am a little superstitious, but my family is Buddhist, and the elders especially believe in those things. Before I got sick and couldn’t determine whether it was benign or malignant, my mother went to the Four Great Buddha Mountains alone. I prayed all over again, added sesame oil and asked for the blessing of the Bodhisattva. Now she also feels that the result is good, thanks to the Bodhisattva. She thinks that my fortune has been sluggish in the past two years, so she has been wondering whether I have collided with something, or In the past two years, I have been trying to find a master to help me resolve any obstacles, or find a master to help me figure out what is going on. This time, I was dragged by her temporary notice. My aunt introduced me to a very clever master. , I went to another place, and the appointment time was delayed due to some things, and I stayed there for a while, which caused the time for leave to be prolonged. It seems to be quite accurate. Anyway, I was stunned for a while. I asked questions about my personality, parental relationship, marriage relationship, and career health. I doubted science many times in the middle. A little pain, but it doesn’t hinder the life span. There will be a catastrophe at the age of 75. If you can survive it, you can live to the age of ninety-five. Mom is very happy now, and I love to hear good words. Now I must believe that this is a very effective master.
