Chapter 236
Looking at the quiet door, Chunqiu knew that her mother hadn't come back yet, and it seemed that she had to cook dinner for tonight.

"Father, what do you want to eat tonight?" Chunqiu raised his head and asked loudly to Yang Weibo who was still tidying up the basket.

After finishing speaking, Yang Weibai's hands that were used to tidy up the basket paused, and he turned around with an "eh", "What to eat? Anything is fine." After speaking in a simple and honest voice, her father scratched his hair again. laughed out loud.

Chunqiu bit his lip, clenched his right hand and patted his left hand directly, raised his head and said, "Then... there are some vegetables in our kitchen, Dad, why don't we eat vegetable balls at night?" Looking at her father's silly smile, Chunqiu followed suit laugh out loud.

Yang Weibo naturally had no objection, feeling his stomach was growling, Yang Weibo nodded at his daughter indiscriminately, then turned around quickly, and then tidied up the basket in his hand, and shy pink appeared on both sides of his cheeks.

After ordering a meal, Chunqiu asked her father to go back and rest for a while after covering the white cloth. As soon as her father came back in the morning, he went to Shuangye Village to transport the petals, and then helped her crush the petals in the afternoon. too much.

Under Chunqiu's urging, Yang Weibo went back to the house with a smile after finishing his work. Chunqiu saw that her father had left, so he went directly to the kitchen to make dinner.

In the kitchen, there are green vegetables brought back by her mother this morning. The tender green leaves can still squeeze out water even after being left for a day. Chunqiu grabs a large handful of green vegetables from the vegetable basket and throws away the crushed outer leaves. , and the remaining intact leaves are placed in water, please wash them.

Green vegetable balls are very easy to make. Stir the mixed sweet potato powder with the mixed fillings evenly, and put them directly into the pot when the water boils.

Sweet potato is another name for sweet potato. Sweet potato, the sweet potato of later generations, was introduced to China during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. Later, it was popularized throughout the country because of its abundant output and delicious taste.

Because sweet potatoes do not have any special requirements for the place of production, Yang Li will plant some in the few acres of dry land at home every year. Sweet potato powder is the flour that is filtered out after crushing sweet potatoes. It has good viscosity and chewiness. The vermicelli is made from sweet potato powder.

The red sweet potato noodles in their house were brought back by her father from Gangyangjia Village two days ago, about half a pocket, Chunqiu bent down, grabbed two handfuls from the flour pocket, chopped pork on the chopping board and The onion, garlic and condiments are mixed with it, stir and add water, and it is good.

He casually added two firewood to the mouth of the stove, waited until the water in the pot boiled, then kneaded the kneaded dough in the basin into a small ball and put it in the water, and waited until all the balls in the water were brushed on the surface of the water, Chun Qiu was washing Pour the good green vegetables into the pot. After stirring, the green vegetable balls are put out of the pot.

Chunqiu brought out a pot of hot, freshly baked green vegetable balls, and as soon as Pu entered the room, he heard her mother's voice.

Hearing what her mother was talking to her father, Chunqiu wanted to hear more clearly, so he quickened his pace and walked in.

"... Is there a lot of work at home? How is the eldest brother and sister-in-law? No one is left behind in the fabric, right? By the way, did you give the supplements brought back to the third sibling? How are the two children born? It's a big problem..." Her mother's speech was extremely fast, and during the time Chunqiu entered the door, she heard many questions from her mother, although most of the questions were about people in the family.

"Hey, don't worry, it's all done, nothing left..." Her father sat on a stool beside him and answered her mother's question with a smile on his face. Her mother was standing next to her father, her ears closed. Listen carefully.

Yuan patted her chest in satisfaction, like letting go of a big stone in her heart, "That's fine, that's fine, there are many people in the family, and our family is not often at home, so buying more things will make you look better." After finishing speaking, Yuan looked up and saw Chunqiu and the steaming green vegetable balls, and then said, "Okay, let's eat quickly, there are so many people in the Meiyan Pavilion today, I don't even have time to eat at noon..." While talking, Yuan called Yang Weibo, who was sitting on the stool, to come over. The two sat at the table one after the other, and Chunqiu handed over the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, "Father, mother, you have a taste."

Yuan Shi took the bowls and chopsticks that Chunqiu handed over, and said with a smile, "Hey, my daughter is just capable." He picked up a ball and put it in his mouth, Yuan Shi asked, "Hey, where is the tiger? Usually he runs away early. Have you come out to eat? What's the matter today? The lights in the study are not on, where did this child go?" Yuan Shi frowned, looking out of the dark door, a little angry.

Chunqiu stood aside and quickly explained, "Mother, Huzi went to my aunt's place, and said he was looking for cousin Shuo to borrow books, and he won't be coming back today."

Thinking about what Huzi said before leaving this morning, Chunqiu hurriedly explained to her mother.

"Really? This kid didn't tell me. It's really annoying..." After listening to Chunqiu's explanation, Yuan opened her mouth to complain about Huzi.

Yang Weibo picked up a chopsticks of vegetables and put them into Yuan's bowl, interrupting, "Fang'er, eat quickly, these vegetables are delicious too." After saying this, Yang Weibo put a chopsticks of vegetables in his mouth and chewed Zhengxiang.

Yuan Shi pursed her mouth amusedly, glanced at Yang Weibo, and said in her mouth, "This is because you feel sorry for your son? Why don't you just complain?"

Yang Weibo shook his head quickly, and said with a flattering smile, "How can I? Don't worry about your starvation. After working for so long, I'm busy all by myself, daughter-in-law, it's hard work..." It was rare for her father to speak sweetly to her. The mother praised a lot, and said all good things, and her mother was full of joy and a smile on her face.

Chunqiu was on the side slowly holding the green vegetable balls in the basin. For some reason, she always felt that the green vegetable balls were not as delicious as before.

Chunqiu didn't eat enough tonight for the first time. After eating a bowl of rice, he put down the bowl and chopsticks. Seeing that there was still a small pot of green vegetable balls left, Chunqiu told his mother, and went directly to the kitchen to boil water for a bath.

Now that it is hot, Chunqiu has been working for a day, and his body is already sticky and uncomfortable. Besides, there is no place to take a bath at home. If Chunqiu wants to wash, he can only boil water by himself.

In order to make it convenient for the family to take a bath, her father specially made a bathtub for everyone, and Chunqiu's bathtub was placed in his room.

Before taking a bath, Chunqiu deliberately filled the bathtub with flower petals, and Chunqiu happily took a bath of flower petals, until the whole body was fragrantly washed, and then she came out satisfied.

Put the bath water into the ditch in the yard, Chunqiu turned his head and saw that her mother's house was still shining brightly, her mother was still asleep, Chunqiu thought to himself, and went back to the house with an empty bucket in his hand.

Putting out the candles that were still burning on the table, Chunqiu lay flat on the bed, thinking about what happened today, and fell asleep in a daze...
