Chapter 88 My future life belongs to Brother Lu! (First update)
In the evening, Chen Xiuyu and Ma Jinlan came back from the fields. As soon as they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, they smelled the aroma of food.
The mother and daughter quickened their pace, put the tools in the warehouse, and hurriedly entered the house.
Chen Xiuyu pushed the door open first and went in. She saw Chen Xiuqing squatting in front of the stove adding firewood. The wild boar pork belly and green onions were sizzling in the pot. There were also a plate of fried monkey legs and a plate of braised greyhound on the stove.
Pork, and also made egg soup.
Three dishes and one soup, all very good!
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Chen Xiuqing raised her head and looked towards the door: "Sister, Mom, you are back... the food will be ready soon!"
Chen Xiuyu suddenly saw Chen Xiuqing's deformed face and was startled: "Brother, what happened to you? Why did you change into a pig's head?"
Hearing this, Chen Xiuqing glared at Chen Xiuyu: "What are you talking about?"
Ma Jinlan, who came in later, was also startled and walked quickly to Chen Xiuqing: "Qingzi, what on earth did you do?"
"Today, I took Brother Lu to dig out honeycombs in the mountains. While harvesting honey, I ate some honey. The bees came to my lips to suck the honey. I was scared of being stung before. I was so scared that I stretched out my hand to chase them away, and then my lips were stung.
Yeah…Brother Lu said, if I don’t slap or squeeze, I won’t get stung, I have to blame myself!”
Chen Xiuqing briefly explained the situation: "I was stung. Brother Lu helped me remove the stinger, asked me about my previous stings, and told me that the sting had hit my meridians, and that the method of removing the stinger was wrong.
He taught me how to do it, and sure enough, when he touched it, I didn’t feel as uncomfortable as last time. I just felt a little hot and itchy. I was stung in the morning, and now the swelling has gone down quite a bit.”
"Why are you so uneasy!" Ma Jinlan muttered with a stern face, and went to sit on the kang in the back room to sulk a little angrily.
Brother Lu told me to ask your opinions on whether to let me go or not. The reason why I asked my sister to go to the cellar with me tomorrow is just because Brother Lu wanted to get proof from my sister that it was you who agreed to let me go.
Just went.
"Of course it's true. Brother Lu uses honey to make dough... If you don't believe it, I'll take you over tomorrow morning to have a look." Chen Xiuqing smiled and said, "I've never heard that honey can be used to make dough."
Regardless of whether you agree or not, I still say the same thing: My future life belongs to Brother Lu.
"What do you think? My sister specially prepared sticky bean buns for the two of us when we went into the mountains!"
Afterwards, Lu Lu refilled the single ammunition on the bandolier and carefully inspected and wiped the double-barreled rifle.
The two of them carried lanterns, crossed the river, and walked quickly towards the cellar.
After burning for more than half an hour, he finally pulled the red mud balls out of the earthen stove.
However, it was different now. He could clearly see that the old dough had expanded a lot.
"Of course. In the past, your brother and I were just hiding our clumsiness. Do you know what it means to hide your clumsiness? It was just saving a hand. If I didn't save a hand, wouldn't I be forced to cook by you every day?" Chen Xiuqing said coquettishly.
He hurriedly got on the steamer and started to steam the steamed buns. Just as he had steamed the steamed buns for the first time and was about to steam the second steamed buns, there were faint sounds of voices coming from outside. He leaned in front of the small window and looked outside, and saw what was coming.
Brother and sister Chen Xiuqing and Chen Xiuyu.
Brother Lu is a very powerful gunner. In just two days, I learned a lot from him. He is helping me and taking your feelings into consideration.
Chen Xiuqing started shouting from a distance.
Chen Xiuyu still vividly remembers the excitement she felt when she squatted in the dog shed to watch the dogs eat.
The sticky bean buns are sweet and chewy, which is the best way to satisfy hunger.
However, something like this happened just a few days ago, especially after listening to the words of Zhang Shaofeng, the security director, she knew to some extent that what she was doing was indeed unreasonable.
As soon as Lu Lu saw Chen Xiuyu, he knew that Chen Xiuqing had really told the story, and he didn't know how he persuaded her.
Seeing this, he stopped asking any more questions.
I’m with Brother Lili, this is my choice!”
But Chen Xiuyu suddenly pulled Chen Xiuqing: "Brother, didn't you say that the steamed buns made by Brother Lu are so hard that they can crack pecans? Take a good look, these steamed buns are obviously better than mine. How dare you lie to me!"
She raised her fist as she spoke.
But there was a bigger knot in her heart: Lu Lu was a mountaineer, a hunter who spent all day in the mountains. If her daughter really followed him, she would accidentally die one day, would she be like herself?
Being a widow for the rest of your life? That kind of life is so difficult!
This was also the reason why her anger burst out again. She didn't want Chen Xiuyu to have more contact with Lu Lu.
There was a loud bang, and the dishes and chopsticks on the table were jumping around.
As Chen Xiuqing spoke, he took out a cloth bag from his hunting bag, opened it, and brought it to Lu Lu.
Chen Xiuyu was talking while her eyes were looking at Lu Luxin's steamed buns.
"Mom, you are the one who gave birth to me and raised me, and gave me life, but Brother Lu is also the one who saved my life. Just like you, you also gave me life. Without Brother Lu, you would have given me this life.
, it was already gone some time ago. My current life was given by Brother Lu. In my opinion, you are the person I love the most, so why not Brother Lu."
She turned her head to the side, and her tears began to fall uncontrollably, dripping onto the ground and throwing up small clouds of dust.
Just like when he first decided to drag dogs for hunting, with such a family situation, it would be difficult to raise just one dog, not to mention three dogs, but he would rather go hungry and insist on raising one.
Chen Xiuyu took a bite of each dish: "Oh, let's go, brother, you are good at this craft. It tastes much better than what I made before."
Chen Xiuyu just wants to give her full support.
Very manly!
As a man, you should be affectionate and righteous, and dare to think and do.
At heart, Chen Xiuqing is not a person who is willing to live in poverty. He wants his family to live a good life, because he has known since he was a child that he must shoulder the burden of the family.
In the earliest times, the fermentation of flour was carried out by adding honey.
Chen Xiuyu listened silently, and after Chen Xiuqing left, she also picked up bowls and chopsticks and ate quickly.
"I told you, I told you during dinner yesterday."
The next day, before dawn, Lu Lu got up early and saw that the fermented dough left last night was indeed very effective.
It's just that at night, the temperature was a little lower, and the fermentation time was not long enough, so the temporarily made steamed buns were hard.
Chen Xiuqing decided to go into the mountains with Lu Lu. She knew her brother's temperament. Even though he was usually dull and didn't talk much, he could make a decision that even ten cows couldn't pull back.
"It's so dark outside, how do I get out?"
Lu Lu glanced at Chen Xiuqing and found that most of the swelling on his face had disappeared and no longer affected his vision. He should be completely healed today. He turned to Chen Xiuyu and said, "Old sister, your brother and I
Have you told me about going into the mountains?"
"You don't have any opinions?" Lu Lu asked again.
While Chen Xiuyu was making noodles, Lu Lu was also making noodles.
"How is it possible? Is it true or false?" Chen Xiuyu looked unbelieving.
"Yo yo yo, brother, I'm complimenting you, you're still out of breath, why don't you fly?"
However, they said "Brother Lu" one sentence after another, and it was a bit harsh to Ma Jinlan's ears.
Now, she suddenly had the feeling that her children would fly away at any time, and her heart suddenly felt empty and extremely lost.
If you are going far, you must bring dry food with you.
Chen Xiuyu couldn't see him being like this, so she immediately retorted: "You can cook this dish, but it's far worse than Brother Lu's."
Lu Lu looked at it and saw that there were more than ten or twenty Huang Shengsheng's sticky bean buns inside.
Chen Xiuqing's words made Chen Xiuyu stunned for a while.
After cooling, he saw that the color had changed, and indeed the porcelain was much stronger. He believed that using these projectiles would greatly improve the power of the slingshot.
This move shocked both brother and sister.
Chen Xiuqing simply said hello, and the brother and sister ignored Ma Jinlan, who was standing aside with a straight face, and continued to eat by themselves.
When a man leaves early, the greatest comfort to her is a pair of well-behaved and sensible children.
"Okay, okay, I finally caught up. I was wondering if you had gone away!" Chen Xiuqing quickly opened the door and led Chen Xiuyu in.
The brother and sister looked at each other and realized that their attitude just now was wrong. Chen Xiuqing took a deep breath and said in a calm tone: "Brother Lu is really not the kind of person you think. I am also twenty years old, okay.
I know how to tell in my mind. Tomorrow Brother Lu and I will go to the mountains to hunt for redweeds, and we will be delayed for a while before we come back.
The brother and sister usually like to bicker together, and they enjoy themselves happily.
When hearing Chen Xiuqing's words, Chen Xiuyu was worried, but also thinking that her brother was finally ready to stand up.
After eating, I went to the kitchen and took out the sticky bean buns that I had wrapped and stored in a vat during the winter and steamed them.
After getting ready, he went to bed early as soon as it got dark.
As a younger sister, of course I can't hold back.
Who would have known that when she glared at Chen Xiuqing and her brother and sister, they both knocked their rice bowls on the kang table and slapped their chopsticks on the kang table, as if they had made an appointment: "Where are you going?"
Now, Lu Lu's identity was recognized by Zhang Shaofeng and others. She often heard people praise Lu Lu in the village. She couldn't say anything more about Lu Lu's identity and conduct.
But now, when she heard that Chen Xiuqing was going to lead Chen Xiuyu to Lu Lu's cellar, she couldn't hold back anymore. She stretched out her hand and slapped the Kang table: "No one is allowed to go!"
Therefore, after hearing that the brother and sister kept talking about Lu Lu, she was also trying hard to suppress the anger in her heart.
I chose to learn hunting from him and go into the mountains. If anything happens to me, even if I lose my life, I will have no complaints and I don’t want you to blame Brother Lu.
Ma Jinlan never thought that one day she would be so harshly criticized by a pair of children.
As she spoke, she stepped forward and picked up the spatula to help stir-fry. After a while, the meat was cooked. After it was taken out of the pot, the brother and sister each carried a plate of vegetables and placed it on the Kang table. They took the bowls and chopsticks and added rice.
He added flour and kneaded it vigorously in the wooden basin for more than half an hour. Then he put the dough with the wooden basin and placed it next to the earthen stove over the fire pipe. The temperature there was higher. He believed that
The flour will rise nicely when used tomorrow morning.
Chen Xiuyu rolled her eyes at Chen Xiuqing: "Brother Lu must have his reasons for using honey to make dough... However, I really want to see the steamed buns you mentioned that can open walnuts."
"Brother Lu, are you still there?"
"Here you are!" Lu Lu responded, unbolted the small door of the underground cellar, and opened the small door.
But Ma Jinlan stared blankly outside the house. She knew clearly that her son's wings were stiff!
I'm afraid she won't be able to control it from now on.
After eating, increase the firewood in the earthen stove, and when the firewood is burning into charcoal, put the mud balls that have been dried in the cactus into the fire. In order to increase the temperature, specially
I found a piece of wood, sawed it in half, hollowed out the inner wall and tied it with a string to make a blowpipe. I leaned against the door of the stove and puffed my cheeks and blew continuously.
Chen Xiuqing's words became more and more firm as he spoke. After finishing speaking, he picked up the bowl and chopsticks, quickly put the food into his mouth, quickly filled his stomach, took out the gun press, and went to prepare his own ammunition.
He took the rabbit meat, cleaned it, cut it into pieces and stewed it. After it was cooked, Lu Lu ate it while thinking about the next thing.
"Oh, don't praise Brother Lu. You haven't seen the steamed buns made by Brother Lu. They are so hard that I can probably use them to crack pecans."
Chen Xiuyu laughed and whispered: "Brother Lu knows so much."
And it became like this just because of a foreigner!
Chen Xiuqing jumped aside quickly: "Sister, I'm telling the truth. Brother Lu, do you still have the steamed buns from yesterday? Take them out and show them to her."
Lu Lu smiled and said, "What do you want me to do with you after you've finished eating? The steamed buns I made are not as bad as you said, right?"
Chen Xiuqing was speechless for a moment. Seeing the glare from Chen Xiuyu, she could only laugh dryly: "I was the wrong girl, I was just talking nonsense... Oops!"
Before Chen Xiuqing finished speaking, Chen Xiuyu had already kicked him in the calf. He looked at Chen Xiuyu, then at Lu Lu, and thought to himself: They are all in the same league!
