Xiaojiaxiu

Chapter 15 Build the Stove for Breakfast
Si Ya's wound tormented her all night, and she didn't fall asleep in a daze until early morning.

Wang Tugen got up not long after Siya fell asleep.Mrs. Zhao talked for a long time last night, and only fell asleep in the middle of the night.Wang Tugen knew the expectation and anxiety in his wife's heart, so he could only listen as much as he could, but there was nothing he could do if he was asked to tell the truth about his parents.

After Wang Tugen got up, he looked at the sleeping lady and Zhaodi, and closed the door lightly.As soon as he turned around, he was startled, and a pair of big black eyes looked at him without blinking.

"It's Sanya? Why are you getting up, go back to sleep!" Wang Tugen was barely sure in the dark that this was Sanya from his family.

"Father, I'm not sleepy! I'll go with you!" In fact, Sanya didn't know what her father was going to do, but she thought that as long as she was with him, she would be happy to do anything.

"It's okay, let's keep our voices down, the others are still asleep!" The third daughter has always been close to her.

When Sanya heard her father agreeing, her eyes in the darkness brightened even more.Sometimes, children are really easy to be satisfied, just like the current Sanya, as long as she is with her father, she will feel happy no matter what she does.This may be the greatness of fatherly love.

The father and daughter walked out of the courtyard carefully, and after gently closing the courtyard door, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

The village is very quiet, except for the occasional sound of a dog barking.Neither Wang Tugen nor Sanya spoke. I don't know if it was because of the silence of the mountain village or what. In short, they walked like this, only the sound of each other's breathing and footsteps in their ears.

Sanya's heart beat very fast, this was the first time that she and her father did something together.Only myself and my father.This feeling is as mysterious and beautiful as my father and I have a common secret.This early morning, every time the grown-up Si Ya thinks about it, her heart beats unconsciously, just like the self who was walking on the road with her father in that early morning.

Wang Tugen walked with Sanya for a long time before arriving at the back mountain. His body, which was still feeling a little cold, immediately warmed up.Wang Tugen took Sanya to the middle of the mountain and stopped. Wang Tugen rubbed his hands and began to pick stones.

Most of the ancient farm houses were built with stones from the mountains, such as green bricks, which were too extravagant for farmers.Wang Tugen selected the slightly neat stones and put them aside, and then continued to choose.Sanya also followed behind Wang Tugen, and when she saw a slightly neat stone, she would let her father take a look at it. When Wang Tugen looked at it and put the stone aside, Sanya was so happy. It was a needed affirmation.

Seeing that the selection of stones was almost done, Wang Tugen withdrew his hand and stopped.He piled up the chosen stones and tried the weight.After Wang Tugen felt that the weight was about the same, he lifted the stone and prepared to transport it down the mountain.Sanya was too young, so she could barely take a small rock and follow her father down the mountain.

After going back and forth several times, Wang Tugen moved all the selected stones down the mountain.The next step was to move the stones home. After Wang Tugen rested for a while, he began to transport the stones home.This time Wang Tugen didn't let Sanya take the stone, the road was too far and Sanya was small.

After going back and forth several times in this way, Wang Tugen finally transported all the stones back home.

At the eastern edge of the sky, a white light has faintly appeared.Wang Tugen thought about it quickly, otherwise it would be too late before dawn, and he had to go to harvest the wheat early!

Wang Tugen accelerated the speed in his hands.From the vegetable garden behind the yard, Wang Tugen dug fresh soil.After transporting all the soil back to the yard, we began to mix the mud. The mud must be mixed slightly thicker so that it can dry and form faster.Wang Tugen made up the mud, waited for a while, let the mud wake up for a while, and then started to build pots and stoves.

The pot and stove are built on the side of the corridor of the south house, which is far from the root of the wall of the north house, and few people usually pass by.Wang Tugen first put mud on the ground to form a shape about the size of a stove, and then pressed stones on it.After the mud is put down, stones must be placed immediately, so that the stones and mud can stick together better. If the mud is dry, it will be useless.

Just circle the stones and mud, and soon the stove will show its appearance.

Sanya can't help much by the side, she can only pass things to her father.

When the hearth was more than one meter long, Wang Tugen stopped and continued to pile up stones.He smoothed the top with mud.Then, the sides of the built-in hearth were covered with mud, and then smoothed.After going back and forth like this, Wang Tugen cleaned up and modified a little bit, and a simple and small stove was completed.Due to limited time, Wang Tugen only built a stove for one pot, thinking of using it first and building another one in his free time.

Sanya watched as her father made a stove little by little like he was juggling.In the heart of little Sanya, her father is always omnipotent.

After Wang Tugen built the stove, he tidied up the yard again. Now everything is ready, and the stove can be used after the mud dries up.

It was already dawn, and the north room and the east and west rooms gradually started to move.Wang Tugen asked Sanya to go back to bed again, and went to find an old pot that was not used in the sundries storage room next to the north house, thinking that he would use it first, and buy a new one after the busy farming season.

The sky is gradually getting brighter, and the chimneys in the village are emitting smoke earlier than usual, which indicates that another year of busy farming has come.

When Siya woke up, the sun had already risen high.Another sunny day!Si Ya stretched her waist greatly, she slept really comfortably this time, the wound on her head didn't hurt that much, and this clear and clear weather made Si Ya feel refreshed even more!This sleep is really the best medicine to treat pain!
After Siya emotionally felt in her heart, she suddenly thought of two important things today.One is the matter of cooking and eating alone starting today, and the other is the matter of harvesting wheat.

Thinking of this, Si Ya didn't have the mood to be hypocritical anymore, she quickly put on her clothes and shoes, and left the room.

Sanya didn't know where she went, but Wuya and Liuya were sitting in the yard, playing with Xiao Zhaodi.

Wuya saw Siya first, and she ran over quickly, her eyes narrowed into a smile, and the corners of her eyes that were already upturned even more upward.

"Fourth sister, we can cook by ourselves!" said while dragging Si Ya to the corridor.It was as happy as finding a baby.Only then did Si Ya realize that there was a stove that was taller than her by the side of the corridor.The mud on it has almost dried out, and it has gradually turned an earthy yellow color.

Seeing this stove, Si Ya thought how early her father would have to get up early to make this stove!Thinking that I only got up at this time, I still feel very guilty.The family members saw that they were injured, so they deliberately didn't wake themselves up!Si Ya thought in her heart that the habit of sleeping late had to be changed, it seemed that she was the last one to get up every time in this family.

"Where are the rest of the family?" Siya asked.

"Father, mother and father went to the field together, the eldest sister went to wash pots by the river, and the third sister seems to have gone to pick vegetables!" Wu Ya replied very seriously.

After Siya knew about it, she asked Wuya to go back to play.After carefully looking at the pot and stove, I went to the garden in the backyard to look for Sanya.

Sanya struggled in the vegetable garden for a long time. There was only a small piece of ribs left in the house, and the pastries were not bought much and they were all eaten.The family's food is all in the north house, and it is impossible to give milk to my family.The only edible ones in this vegetable garden are.

Sanya thought about it for a long time but couldn't think of what to do. When she thought that her father and mother were still hungry, she felt very uncomfortable.

During the busy farming season, Wangcun usually eats breakfast early and then goes to the fields.In the north room, Mrs. Yang made breakfast early with Cuigu and Zhuhua jewelry, and Mr. Wang went to the field after taking everyone to eat.Wang Tugen and Mrs. Zhao went to the ground without breakfast because the stove was not ready yet.

Thinking of her parents working hungry, Sanya became more and more irritable.

When Si Ya arrived at the vegetable garden, she found that San Ya was frowning, with an impatient expression on her face, and she guessed the reason.Si Ya had already figured out how to solve the breakfast problem, that's why she came to the vegetable garden.

Siya and Sanya roughly expressed their thoughts, and Sanya had no other choice but to follow Siya.

Siya and Sanya dug some potatoes, picked a few tomatoes, and a handful of tender shallots.After Siya saw that all the ingredients she wanted were ready, she carried the basket and went back with Sanya.

Sanya helped Siya pick vegetables in a daze.I thought to myself what the potato pancakes Siya was talking about!

Sanya and Siya returned to the courtyard.Da Ya has already returned. Although the dilapidated iron pot is still broken, it still looks clean.

Da Ya heard Si Ya say that she wanted to make breakfast, and knew that Si Ya had a lot of ideas these days, so she followed her.Sanya went behind the house to get firewood.Si Ya and Da Ya went to the well to wash all the dishes.It is impossible for Yang's water tank to be used by himself, so he can only go to the well to wash.

Come back after washing and start a fire to cook the potatoes.While the potatoes were cooking, Si Ya chopped up the tomatoes and shallots.These knives were found by Sanya before, and they will still be used.After the potatoes were cooked, Siya took out the potatoes and peeled them.

At this time, Sanya also bought the salt. It turned out that there was also a small shop selling groceries in this village.If Sanya hadn't said it, Siya would have thought that people in the village would go to the town to buy their daily necessities.

Si Ya flattened the peeled cooked potatoes into a cake shape.After finishing the potatoes, Siya put the chopped tomatoes into the pot, add a little water, start cooking, and stir while cooking. After the tomatoes are completely cooked and melted, put a little salt in it, and then put the pie-shaped potatoes in In the tomato sauce, collect the juice on low heat, and when the juice is almost collected, put out the fire.

Daya, Sanya watched Siya doing this methodically, thinking that Siya had so many ghostly ideas, and she didn't know who she learned from.But they will not doubt their sister no matter what.

The aroma of potatoes and the sweet and sour taste of tomato sauce filled the yard.

Si Ya divided the prepared sweet and sour potato cakes into two parts, one part was to be sent to the fields for parents later, and the other part was breakfast for the couple.After it was out of the pot, Si Ya sprinkled the chopped shallots on top.The red potato cakes are served with fragrant and tender green onions, just looking at them will make you hungry, let alone hungry!

Big Ya took a few younger sisters to eat at home, San Ya and Si Ya went to the field to deliver meals to their parents, and came back to eat after they were done.After dividing the tasks, several people began to work separately.

After the Yangs here cleaned up the table and chopsticks, they moved the benches and arranged the dishes needed for noon in the yard.Except for Cuigu and the ignorant Jewelry, Yang Shi and Baohua all wanted to see the jokes of Siya's family.When he knew that Wang Tugen and Zhao Shi went to the ground hungry, he felt very proud.so you can.

When they smelled the fragrance wafting from the south room, both of them changed their expressions.But they couldn't say anything, and they didn't use the food at home.

"Prodigal stuff!" Yang just said this and didn't say anything.
