Yingbao and her two younger brothers did not attend Sister Dani's engagement party.
Yuanbao Huzi didn't go either, only Erni went with Dani.
Today happened to be the school's holiday. While her parents were not at home, Ying Bao took out a basket of leeks from the cave and prepared to make a leek box.
I originally wanted to make pork and leek dumplings, but no one went to town to buy meat.
Even if she bought the meat, she couldn't mince it, so it would be easier to make leek and egg boxes.
After mixing the noodles, ladle out the water and wash the leeks, drain the water and chop them into pieces. Then spread out a piece of egg skin, chop them into pieces and mix them with the chopped leeks. The next step is to roll out the dough and wrap it in the box.
Yuanbao and Huzi were playing in the yard with their two little brothers, while little Yingbao was struggling to pack the leek box alone.
After wrapping, you still have to cook the pancakes over low heat.
As soon as they baked a few pieces, four boys ran in, each picked them up and ate them. They didn't care that the box of leeks was half-cooked, and kept praising how delicious they were.
Yingbao:……
Well, it was actually her first time baking a leek box, so she was inexperienced, so one side of the box was burnt and the other side was not yet cooked.
It's hard for the four kids not to dislike it, each one took one and ate it deliciously.
The second pot was much better. Although it was still a little mushy, it was at least cooked and could barely be eaten.
As a result, the second pot was also taken away and eaten by four imps.
Ying Bao was speechless, but also very happy, because those battered cakes were not a waste.
By the third pot, the box of leeks was cooked perfectly, so Yingbao picked up a piece and ate it.
Not bad, not bad. My craftsmanship is really good. It’s not blurry at all. It’s almost the same as my grandma’s.
"Yingbao, are you at home?"
A warm voice came from outside the yard.
Yingbao immediately ran to open the courtyard door and saw Wen Shu and Wen Hengyin walking in.
Four skin monkeys also ran over to greet Wen Hengyin, each of them had a black patch of mouth.
Wen Hengyin was surprised and asked Huzi: "What did you eat?" It turned out like this.
Huzi: "Do you want to try the leek box made by Yingbao? It's delicious."
"No!" Wen Hengyin shook his head repeatedly. He didn't want to eat dark things.
Yingbao brought Sister Wen into the kitchen and listened to her talk while making pancakes.
"Yingbao, I'm here to say goodbye to you. Mom will take us to Fucheng tomorrow and we won't come back until March next year." Wen Shu sat down on the small stool.
Ying Bao was a little worried after hearing this.
Because this time happened to be the time when something happened to the Wen family, she didn't want Sister Wen to leave.
"Sister Wen, can you please stop leaving?" Yingbao removed the fire and walked out from behind the stove.
Wen Shu stirred the handkerchief in his hand and sighed: "My father has not been heard from for more than a month. My mother and I are very worried. We went to Fucheng to find out what happened in Yuzhou."
Ying Bao frowned, "Don't you know how to write a letter to ask your relatives?"
She was afraid that once Sister Wen left, it would be difficult for her to see her again.
Wen Shu shook his head: "Aniang said that instead of waiting, it is better to go to Fucheng to have a look. There is a lot of information there. It is not like the small mountain village that is secluded. You can know some news."
"Then, can you and Mrs. Wen really come back next March?" Yingbao asked.
Wen Shu nodded, "No matter what, we will come back."
Ying Bao scratched her head, unable to think of any way to help Sister Wen.
Their gold-grade golden ear and snow fungus were all bought by Mrs. Wen, so they didn't need their Wuding Zhi.
After hesitating for a long time, he said seriously: "Sister Wen, I had a bad dream a while ago. I dreamed that your home was ransacked and you and your brother were separated... Don't laugh. My dream is the most effective. You and your husband will never be together."
Be careful."
Wen Shu put away her smile and thought thoughtfully. "I will tell my mother-in-law when I get back and ask her to interpret your dream."
"Yeah." Apart from saying this, Ying Bao couldn't think of any other good ideas.
Wen Shu left with his younger brother. Before leaving, he left several medical books he brought with him to Ying Bao, "During the days when my mother and I are away, you should read the books carefully and write down anything you don't understand. When my mother and I come back,
Answer for you."
Yingbao nodded, hugged Sister Wen, and whispered: "Sister Wen, you must take care of yourself and your brother. In my dream, you and your brother were separated."
She was not afraid that such words would make Wen Shu unhappy, so she said them all in one go. "After many years, you never found him again."
Wen Shu was startled and touched Ying Bao's head. He was not displeased. "Thank you Ying Bao for reminding me. I will keep an eye on him and not let him run around."
After the Wen Shu siblings left, Ying Bao finished baking the leek box in a depressed manner, and then sat on the bench in a daze.
She suddenly remembered that she hadn't dreamed about that book in her dream for a long time, and she didn't know how Chen Zhao and Chen Tiantian would end.
Early the next morning, Yingbao rode Youyou to see off Mrs. Wen, only to find that the school door was locked and they had already left, even the spiral was taken away.
Yingbao stood at the door feeling sad for a long time before she went home sadly.
Since there was no need to go to school, Yingbao proposed to live in a new home in Nanpo.
As soon as Chun Niang and her husband came together, they decided to move the whole family to Nanpo.
It is the twelfth lunar month of winter, and there is no need to do any work in the fields. It is the slack season, so everyone in the village has nothing to do.
On sunny days, men in the village would sit under the south wall to bask in the sun and talk about the mountains. Some would take off their cotton-padded clothes and turn them over to catch lice.
Women also hold sewing baskets and gather together to gossip.
Jiang Sanlang first used a mule cart to carry some bedding and clothes to the south slope, followed by daily necessities, and then pulled people.
Yingbao rode Youyou and ran to the south slope early to clean up the house.
The house on the south slope has a large yard, but when you first move in, it feels a bit empty and a bit cold.
But here it is wide open, with a good view, and there are not many houses, so you can catch birds and hunt in the snow, and you can also let Youyou go out and run on her own without anyone having to run around. After running around for a while, she will go home on her own.
When Jiang Erlang saw that his third brother's family had moved to the south slope, he simply took his children and moved into their new home. He cut some bamboo every day to make bamboo stools, and weaved a few bamboo plaques for later use.
Old Man Jiang has lived on the south slope for a long time, where he and his two grandsons keep watch over their grain reserves and feed two fat pigs.
A month has passed by in a flash, and the Chinese New Year will be celebrated in just a few days.
One day, the peaceful mountain village suddenly became unstable because a small number of the soldiers who were drafted last year returned, and all of them were disabled.
"My son, what's wrong with you? Why is your leg so injured?"
Tang, the patriarch’s second wife, hugged her son who was lying on the stretcher and cried bitterly.
"Dalang, go to the town and ask the doctor to show your brother." Seeing this, the clan leader immediately ordered his eldest son.
Seeing that his younger brother was miserable and unhappy, Chen Da took a car and went to the town to invite Mr. Li.
After seeing it, Langzhong Li shook his head and said to the patriarch: "My son is in a bad condition. His right thigh has become necrotic, and the toxins in the rotten flesh have flowed into his body. I'm afraid it won't be easy to treat."
When Mrs. Tang heard this, she fainted.
The younger daughter-in-law quickly pinched her mother-in-law's middle and then pinched her in the mouth.
Seeing this, Mr. Li quickly pried open Tang's mouth and stuffed a piece of ginseng slice under her tongue.
