Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 22 Broth 1
The next day, before noon came, hundreds of people from Zhaojia Village moved tables and stools from their homes and sat around under the big willow tree at the entrance of the village.While chatting and kowtowing, smelling the fragrance coming from the old house of Li Chang, swallowing from time to time unbearably.

Li Diaozhu lit a fire in front of the open-air stove in the courtyard, and Mrs. Wang went on the stove, throwing all the vegetables brought by the villagers into the pot and stewing it in disorder.He grinned with a smile on his face and said: "The smell of meat is quite delicious. Today, this group of people is lucky, and they save money one by one on weekdays. If it's not the New Year's day or something, they even have some bones and sticks." I can't bear to part with it. This time I got a meal of broth for nothing, so I can't be happier!"

"It smells so good!" Mrs. Wang was talking, but she didn't notice that her five-year-old grandson Jiwa ran in sniffing.

Now standing in front of the stove, looking up at the pot.Holding a steamed bun with three-in-one noodles in his hand, he swallowed and asked, "Grandma, how long will it take, I'm hungry!"

"Oh, you gluttonous monkey, don't you have steamed buns in hand, why are you still hungry!"

"Everyone else in the village is holding it. Uncle Li said that steamed buns are delicious when dipped in broth. Grandma, let me dip some!"

Wang Shi was amused by him, and seeing him looking up at Bai Shengsheng's chubby face, couldn't help pinching her, "I'm not familiar with it, wait for a while!"

"Oh!"

Jiwa lowered her eyes and nodded, but did not leave, but squatted beside Li Kongzhu holding a steamed bun with three noodles.Leaning on a plate with a round face, she watched her put firewood into the stove.

After a while, he tilted his head and asked, "Are you the bed-climbing girl that Uncle Zhao married?"

"Jiwa!" Wang sternly shouted at him.

Jiwa pursed her lips, "It's not what I said, I was outside just now. Aunt Zhao said that the bed-climbing girl married by Uncle Zhao is a prodigal woman!"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head again and stared at her with those big bony eyes, "I asked Aunt Zhao who was the girl married to Third Uncle Zhao, and she said it was the girl who lit the fire in this courtyard!"

"Jiwa! You kid, what are you talking about? Your skin is itchy!" Wang's face flushed with embarrassment, and he reached out to grab Jiwa and beat him.

Seeing this, Li Diabolo quickly got up and stretched out his hand to stop him, protecting Jiwa behind him.

He smiled and said: "Auntie, what are you doing? What does he know as a kid! The stupid things I did before were originally inappropriate, and it's okay to make jokes. I didn't do anything wrong, but you Enraged enough!"

She smiled and went forward to take Wang's hand, helping her to move along her chest.

Hearing what she said, Mrs. Wang stared at her for a long time.

Li Diaozhu felt a little embarrassed, and sighed helplessly: "At that time, my brain was like shit, and I just thought it was right. Now that I think about it, I feel that my brain is twitching." Woolen cloth!"

"Pfft! You don't dare to say it's shit or shit!" Wang Shi was amused by her, and patted her with a smile.Then he looked at his grandson angrily and shouted: "In the future, you are not allowed to learn the tongue indiscriminately. If you are in the village or outside the village, you don't pick up the good ones. You just pick up the rough language of the gossip woman. Next time, be careful and I will hit you." I killed you, and sent you to your father to see how he will deal with you."

Jiwa shrank her thin neck when she heard it.He is not afraid of the baby, but he is afraid of the father. The carpenter's big cattail slaps his hand, but it hurts terribly.When he was last year, he was slapped severely by his father for being disobedient, which caused him pain for a long time, and he still remembers the feeling to this day.

Seeing his grandma staring at him and wanting to answer, he immediately nodded obediently, "Understood!"

Seeing that her grandson was honest, Wang secretly heaved a sigh of relief.She took a small bowl and filled half a bowl of broth for him, and whispered a few words in his ear, telling him to hide aside and eat.

Then when he was stirring the stewed vegetables in the pot, he chatted with Li Kongzhu: "Boy, you are usually spoiled, but today you have a bad temper. If you continue to behave like this in the future, you may cause some serious trouble." Li! Go back, I have to talk to his master, I can't be so used to it anymore!"

Li Diaozhu threw a small handful of firewood into the big stove, and smiled indifferently, "Little boy, I'm not yet old enough to tell, and it's normal to learn a word easily. Auntie, you are overthinking!"

The reason why Mrs. Zheng insulted her outspokenly was probably because of what happened last night.I didn't take it well, and was beaten up by Zhao Jinsheng.

Just as he was thinking, there were bursts of noisy beating and cursing outside.

Wang put the lid on the pot with a serious face, and wiped the handle on the apron.He frowned and said, "Who is so ignorant to make trouble at such a time!"

Saying that, he untied his apron and said to Li Kongzhu, "I'll go and have a look, you pay attention to the pot!"

Li Kongzhu nodded.

Seeing her go out, I listened carefully.Hearing the familiar yelling and cursing, he couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth.It's really tossing, there is no quiet time anywhere.

After a while, the shouting outside stopped.Mrs. Wang walked in wearing her apron again.

"Let Boss Zhao take it back. It doesn't stop, but I can't stand chewing the root of my tongue!"

Li Kongzhu complied indifferently, and then continued to pick firewood and light the fire in an indifferent manner.
