Chapter 3 Meat Sauce Noodles
In fact, children as big as two little ones in the village usually have no leisure time. Due to the lack of production means, coupled with successive years of natural disasters and some objective factors, everyone wakes up every day and worries about filling their stomachs, so the children have been special since they were young.
sensible.
Li Min earns work points by picking wheat ears in the village at noon, while Xiao Li Juan works with the little brats in the village who do not go to school to collect pig grass to feed their own pigs or use it to the village collective's pig farm in exchange for work points.
Li Wen sat on the kang and watched the four and five children washing themselves obediently in the yard, lamenting the difficulty of survival for rural children.
At this time, the courtyard door opened, and a middle-aged woman was seen running into the house with a handkerchief on her head. She was short and thin, as if a gust of wind could blow away her forehead.
Covered with wrinkles, this is my current mother Wang Chunmei!
I never met my grandparents in my last life, but I heard from my grandfather that his father and mother were both about fifty years old when they died, and they both fell ill in the late 1960s.
"Wenzi! How is my baby? I don't dare to scare my mother." Wang Chunmei's hurried shout came in from outside the house.
"Mom, I'm at my mother-in-law's house!" Li Wen shouted when he saw Wang Chunmei entering the yard!
Wang Chunmei heard the sound and ran into the house and saw Li Wen leaning on the kang, looking at her with a smile. Wang Chunmei breathed a sigh of relief.
"You idiot, you are still laughing. You are scaring my mother to death. I was drying wheat in the field, and I heard the broken boy running over saying that you were over the heat. I almost worried my mother to death!"
"Let mom check if you are still hot. I heard that your back was pricked by wheat stubble. Let me see how it is! Wang Chunmei sat on the edge of the kang and touched Li Wen's head and said."
After turning over Li Wen's back and seeing that the dozens of broken skin on his back had scabbed over, I was completely relieved.
At this time, rural children were very thick-skinned, and no one would care if they were bumped or bumped. They would be fine on their own in a few days. Delicate children could not survive in the countryside.
Li Wen took over the memory and body memory of the original owner, Third Grandpa, so it was natural for him to deal with Wang Chunmei.
He smiled and said: "Mom, didn't I eat too little in the morning, didn't get any water, and was thirsty and hungry, so I got a heatstroke? My Junsheng Third Master just showed it to me, and I just drank the honey water and it's already gone."
much better."
"Alas! It's all because of the bad weather. The harvests have not been good these past few years. Our family has a large population. The little food we receive every year is not enough to eat. My children are all hungry." Wang Chunmei stroked Li Wen's head.
Complaining, Li Wen listened to his mother's words without any complaints in his heart.
Nowadays, every household is hungry and well-fed. If the parents can raise their five siblings, they will have to die young. Nowadays, medical care is underdeveloped and living standards are poor. It is very difficult for children to grow up.
It’s not easy, so they have more children, not because they want to have more children, but because they “win with more”.
After receiving the memory of Third Grandpa, it seems that Third Grandpa has seldom had enough to eat since he was a child. Especially in the past few years due to natural disasters, he basically wakes up hungry in the middle of the night every night. He can't cheer up for anything except eating. Originally,
It was good to go to school and study, but I was so hungry that I couldn’t bear to eat. The night before the high school entrance examination, I was so hungry that I secretly went to the field to pick a few raw melons and ate them. The next day, the high school entrance examination made me feel dizzy and dizzy, so I dropped out.
List.
"It's lunch time, and I won't go to work. Your mother-in-law and I will make noodles for you to eat at noon. We will use the remaining bacon at home to make meat dumplings. Today we will make meat dumpling noodles for my children.
They all made up their minds, and Wang Chunmei looked at Li Wen and the second child who ran in, with a serious look on her face as if she had made some decision.
Bah! Lao Wu, who was eavesdropping on Wang Chunmei’s speech at the door, made a swallowing sound!
Haha, Li and Wen all laughed instantly!
Wang Chunmei hugged Li Juan, pinched her little face and said with a smile, "My Juan is hungry for meat, little greedy cat!"
"Mom, didn't you say last time that the little bacon left at home was reserved for my eldest brother's blind date at the end of the year? Why can I eat it today?" Li Wen asked based on his memory.
"It's okay. Your elder brother is trying to figure things out at the end of the year. Now let's make up for it first. We haven't seen the smell of meat in the house for several months. Seeing how thin you all are, my mother feels bad! Wang Chunmei touched her little sister Li
Juan's little head said.
You guys will play first, while Mom washes up and cooks for you, then she hurried out of the room.
Time is precious during the summer harvest season. Men usually don’t come back at noon. Women hurried home to finish cooking and take it to the fields, so Wang Chunmei was in a hurry!
"Would you two sit on the kang? Li Wen looked at the second child on the ground and asked with a smile!"
"Brother, we won't sit down, I'll go out to play later," Li Min said crisply!
"We'll have dinner in a while. Our mother is making pork noodles with glutinous rice noodles for lunch. You go out to play. Be careful that you won't be there when you come back!" Li Wen threatened.
Hearing the smell of meat, Li Min swallowed his saliva, sat on the small stool and did not get out.
Let me tell you a story! Looking at the two bored little guys, Li Wen had an idea!
"Wow, wow! Brother told a story, and little sister Li Juan immediately jumped up and clapped her hands!"
Let me tell you about Journey to the West! Have you heard of it?
No! Both the young boys and girls shook their heads!
Okay, let me start. It is said that Pangu created the world, and Nuwa repaired the sky, and a stone flew down to the earth...
Wow! A monkey actually jumped out of the stone!
Sun Wukong is so powerful. A somersault is 108,000 miles away. How far is that? The two little guys were amazed!
Time flew by, and about twenty minutes passed. Li Wen, Li Min, and Li Juan were having dinner, and their mother Wang Chunmei's voice came from the yard!
"Brother, the story you told is so nice. This Sun Wukong is really powerful. Not only can he fly, he can also escape from the ground. It's much better than what our teacher told us. You can tell it to us after dinner," Li Min chuckled.
road!
Uh-huh! Xiao Lijuan also nodded eagerly.
Okay, let’s eat first and I’ll tell you more when I have time!
"Oh! Why did you run out, Wen Wazi? You have turned around and don't move around. I'll bring you some noodles to eat." Grandma Guo Xiuyun said hurriedly when she saw Li Wen walking out.
"Po, it's okay. I'm mainly thirsty and hungry plus the heat. I'm feeling much better now. There is a cool breeze in the yard, so I eat in the yard. It's too stuffy in the house," Li Wen said with a smile and waved his hand.
Well, if you feel uncomfortable, tell me and I will make some noodles for you!
A large ceramic bowl of off-white cold noodles was placed in front of Li Wen. There was a spoonful of plump red oily meat dumplings on the surface. He looked full of appetite. The two children sitting on both sides of the dinner table drooled at the sight!
Although Li Wen had just eaten half a bowl of noodles in the warehouse, he was hungry again when he saw the meat noodles. It seemed that his body was severely lacking in oil and water, lacked nutrients, and digested quickly.
Don't look at it and eat it all quickly. You will have to deliver food to your father and the others later! Wang Chunmei said and put two bowls of noodles in front of Erxiao.
Good, it smells so good. Little Li Juan held her rice bowl and picked up a piece of sizzling fat meat and put it in her mouth, her face full of happiness!
Li Wen saw that there were only a few pieces of meat in the two small bowls. Seeing that his mother was in the kitchen and did not come out, he secretly put a few pieces into each of the two small bowls. The little guys were so happy! They were so happy!
Po! We are back from hunting hogweed. We are starving to death. Is there anything good to eat? Li Yongren, the seven-year-old second son of the second uncle’s family, started shouting before he even entered the door.
Wow! It smells like meat. It’s so fragrant. Second brother, you are eating meat secretly. Li Tao, the third boy from the second uncle’s family, shouted!
The younger sister, Li Juan, plucked her rice and muttered without even raising her head: "We didn't eat meat secretly. Humph, I don't want to pay attention to you two while I'm eating!"
The two boys from the second uncle's family are twins. They look exactly the same. If it weren't for the small mole on the corner of Li Yong's mouth, it would be difficult for ordinary people to tell which one is Li Yong and which one is Li Tao.
These two guys are very naughty. They are the little bullies in the village. They chase chickens and tease the dogs in the village. They also like to fight. The dogs are disgusted when they see them. Compared with Li Min's naughtiness, he is considered a good boy!
The one who keeps yelling all day, let me see if I have beaten enough pig grass. If I haven’t beaten enough pig grass, I won’t be allowed to eat. If the pig doesn’t eat, you won’t eat either, grandma Guo Xiuyun said with a bluster!
Enough is enough. Look, it’s a big basket full, enough for our family to eat for two days. It’s too heavy. The two of us carried it back and were exhausted! Li Tao replied hurriedly!
"The meat is too fragrant, we both want to eat meat, Li Yong raised his head and shouted in a hurry!"
Looking at the two grandsons' little faces that were flushed with heat, the old lady didn't really scare them. She smiled and stroked the two little heads and said: "They are all there, they are all there. You two quickly put down the grass and wash your hands, grandma."
Let’s get you some food!”
Let's go, wash our hands and eat some meat. The two of them carried a big bamboo basket and ran quickly to the backyard!
"Mom, what day is it today? Why do you eat so well? The noodles are sour with meat. The treatment is almost the same as the Chinese New Year." Li Yong held a bowl bigger than his head and slurped the noodles. He kept asking questions when he was idle.
West!
"Today your third brother fainted due to heat stroke, and his back was pricked by wheat stubble and he bled a lot. Your aunt felt sorry for you, and was afraid that you might all suffer from heat stroke, so she specially took out the bacon she gave your eldest brother on a blind date at the end of the year and made pork noodles for everyone.
"Take it all up." You guys are enjoying the blessing today. Grandma Guo Xiuyun nodded Li Yong's little head and said with a smile.
"Wow! You're so kind, aunt. I haven't eaten meat for months." Li Yong, a little flattery, kept talking.
Wang Chunmei looked at the children gathered around the table with a smile, "You are such a sweet-tongued monkey. Eat quickly and I will send food to your father and the others later!"
After a bowl of pork noodles and a bowl of noodle soup, Li Wen burped and his body was instantly filled with energy! He stood up and stretched, and he no longer felt dizzy, but his back was a little tingling!
"Have you eaten enough, Wenzi? If not, mommy will get you some. You lost a lot of blood today and need to be replenished." Mother Wang Chunmei poked her head out of the kitchen and looked at Li Wen with concern.
"Mom, after eating this bowl of pork noodles, I feel completely better now and my head is no longer dizzy. It seems that I still need to eat meat to keep up with my nutrition! It would be great if I could eat meat every day.
"Li Wen said with a smile.
"You kid, who eats meat every day? Your girl in the city, a working-class family, only eats meat once every ten and a half months. If you eat meat every day, you will not become a landlord's fortune," Wang Chunmei scolded with a smile!
"Mom, when I grow up, I will let you and grandma eat meat every day until you don't want to eat it anymore," Li Wen said, raising his head!
Chapter completed!
