After the tragic death of his daughter, the honest father of the age awakened

Chapter 184
After Xu Shuxin and Xu Shuyan returned home with their baskets, they walked to the well and began to fetch water and wash vegetables.

Xu Shuyan placed a large wooden basin at the outlet of the well. Xu Shuxin began to press the well, and the water flowed out and flowed into the wooden basin.

After a while, a basin of water was filled.

There is no shortage of vegetables in the winter in the South: Chinese cabbage, radish, mustard greens, coriander, spinach, there are many types.

And there is no need to store them in a cellar, just let them grow in the ground and pick as many as you can eat every day.

There are many kinds of seeds planted in the Xu family's land. What Xu Shuxin wants to wash now is what their family eats today.

Thinking that she had pig's trotters at home, she pulled out a radish, a Chinese cabbage, and a lot of green onions and garlic.

She bought all the vegetable seeds from the system, so the vegetables she grew grew very juicy. For example, the big white radish she was holding now required two hands to wrap around it.

One radish is enough for their family.

Even when people pass by their private plot, they all marvel at how well their vegetables grow. Many people even ask Cui Lanhua for seeds.

Cui Lanhua knew the source of the seeds and didn't want to share them with others. She only agreed after Xu Shuxin's persuasion.

Xu Shuxin's original words were that after one round of planting, these vegetables will be planted when they grow up, which means they are better than the seeds the members have now, so there is no need to worry.

Cui Lanhua still trusted Xu Shuxin, so after listening to her explanation, she didn't hesitate any longer. If anyone asked about the seeds later, she agreed.

The family has a large population and a lot of food to eat, but Xu Shuxin and Xu Shuyan are both quick with their hands and feet, and the freshly drawn well water is warm and does not freeze their hands at all. They quickly washed all the vegetables.

Seeing Cui Lanhua blanching the pig's head, Xu Shuyue went to serve the glutinous rice, and the two sisters Xu Shuxin followed her.

"Sister, we also need to help!" Xu Shuxin said.

Xu Shuyue looked back at the two of them, saw the desire in their eyes, and said with a smile: "Okay, then come over."

They said they wanted to help, but there was still nothing they could do in the early stage.

Xu Shuyue took out the steamed glutinous rice, put it in a clean enamel basin, and spread it out so that the glutinous rice could cool down quickly.

After spreading the glutinous rice, Xu Shuyue put the enamel basin aside and began to prepare fried peanuts.

Wash the shelled peanuts, pour them into an iron pot, heat them slowly, and then stir-fry them with a spatula.

On the stove nearby, Cui Lanhua is cooking pig head.

While looking at the fire, she told Xu Shuyue, "Don't overdo it. If you overdo it, it will be painful."

Xu Shuyue nodded, "Mom, don't worry, I know."

Xu Shuxin and Xu Shuyu stood nearby and watched Xu Shuyue fry peanuts.

The two stoves were burning at the same time, and the whole kitchen was warm.

In such a cold winter, Xu Shuxin feels that the kitchen is the most comfortable at this time.

After a while, the sound of peanuts falling from the iron pan changed from dull to crisp. She asked: "Sister, are the peanuts almost ripe?"

She could smell the fragrance.

Xu Shuyue nodded, "It's almost ready."

With that said, she quickly stir-fried a few more times and said to Cui Lanhua: "Mom, we can stop the fire."

"Okay." Cui Lanhua responded and began to take out the firewood from the stove and stuff it into the stove where the pig's head was cooked.

At this time, the iron pot with the pig's head was also making a gurgling sound, and white gas was rising from the gap in the pot lid.

"I'm fine here too," Cui Lanhua said.Xu Shuyu and others finished their work and walked into the kitchen.

"It smells so good!" Xu Shuyu said, with a satisfied smile on her face.

Xu Shuyue poured the fried peanuts into a clean dustpan and turned around, "Second sister, you and third sister go and crush the peanuts. I'll help you."

"Okay." Xu Shuyu responded and took the dustpan from Xu Shuyue's hand.

Xu Shuyue turned to Xu Shuxin and Xu Shuyan and said, "You guys should go out too. The boiling water will splash out and burn you."

"Okay, eldest sister, you and mother should also be careful."

The two sisters came out of the kitchen again and began to watch the second sister grinding peanuts.

Xu Shuxin suddenly felt that there were too many sisters and the two of them could not help at all. The sisters above had arranged things in an orderly manner.

Just when she was lamenting that she was useless, Xiao Huang and Xiao Hei came back and brought someone back with them.

A person Xu Shuxin is very familiar with - Ma Dacai.

"Boss, I have good news for you!" Ma Dacai stood outside the door and did not come in. He just leaned on the door frame and talked to Xu Shuxin.

Although he deliberately lowered his voice, Xu Shuyu, who was busy in the yard, saw it.

"Xinxin, what does Ma Dacai want from you?" Xu Shuyu asked while busy with her work.

As for the "boss" Ma Dacai called, Xu Shuyu and others were already used to it.

But when they heard Ma Dacai call Xu Shuxin that way for the first time, they were still shocked, and they were also curious whether Xu Shuxin asked him to call him that way.

But it's not.

It was him who wanted to shout that.

At first, when Xu Shuxin gave Ma Dacai a favor and asked him to help with things, Ma Dacai called him "Xiao Qiya". It was not until Xu Shuxin and Xiao Huang Xiaohei killed a wild boar that Ma Dacai changed his name.

After hearing this, Xu Shuxin even asked him to correct him. "Boss" sounded very social at first sight, but Ma Dacai insisted, thinking that this could show his loyalty to her, so Xu Shuxin ignored him.

From then on, Ma Dacai always called Xu Shuxin that way when he saw her.

But he is also very discerning. Even in front of outsiders, he still knows how to cover up and will not call her "boss" in such a big way.

Xu Shuxin was also confused about Ma Dacai's appearance.

"I don't know, I'll go and have a look."

After saying that, Xu Shuxin walked towards the door.

Although Xu Shuyan was curious, she still didn't follow him.

Xu Shuxin walked to the door and asked doubtfully: "What are you doing here now? Why don't you stay at home and eat meat?"

Ma Dacai waved his hand and said impatiently: "Hey, it's just a little bit of meat. There are so many people in the family, and one piece of meat is not enough for each person to fill his teeth. And it's only now, and my mother can't bear to cook it today, so she has to save it for the New Year." .”

After speaking, he sniffed and said, "It smells so good. Your family is so nice. They cooked meat today!"

His tone was full of envy, but not greed. "I also heard that your family bought a lot of meat today. I really envy your family. This is how people live."

Xu Shuxin was speechless, "...So you came here just to smell the smell of meat at my house?"

"Of course not, I'm here to tell you good news." As he said that, Ma Dacai took another deep breath and sighed again, "It smells so good!"
