"Grandma, why does fourth uncle smell like pig shit?" An An asked her grandma curiously.
"Oh, isn't this a household responsibility system? The village allows families to raise poultry. Your grandfather went to town to catch two piglets and bought some chickens and ducks."
An An then discovered that there were indeed many chickens in the yard, wandering around and eating grains or insects on the ground.
An An's eyes lit up when she heard about meat.
In previous years, we waited for the production team to divide the meat, which was only ten or twenty kilograms in total, but now it was two whole pigs.
How much meat does this require?
"Mom, you are not in good health, why do you raise so many poultry?"
"What for? Of course it's for my granddaughter." Wang Qiaoping answered decisively.
"Can……"
"I will help grandma cut the pig grass from now on." An An said immediately.
"You cut pig grass?" Wang Qiaoping disagreed: "How can that be done?"
"I can do it, grandma, just let me try."
When she was in the Feng family, An An would often cut pigweed and then turn it in to the team to exchange for centimeters. This is not difficult for her now.
"In the past, grandma gave An An meat to eat. After An An raised the pigs, she also gave them to grandma to eat." An An acted coquettishly, pulling on the corner of grandma's clothes.
Wang Qiaoping has no temper at all.
"Oh, my little granddaughter, why is her mouth so sweet?"
After finishing speaking, he glanced at the sons next to him with disgust.
The look in his eyes was one of disgust...
"Look, I have only raised my granddaughter for more than three years, and she has to give her meat to her. I have raised you guys for so many years. What have you done? Useless things..."
Lu Yongsheng and Lu Yongchang:......
Following the principle of serving a bowl of water, An An quickly said when she saw her third uncle and fourth uncle's expressions turned bad.
"Third uncle, fourth uncle, I brought you a gift."
"A gift?"
When the third uncle and the fourth uncle heard this, their eyes immediately lit up.
An An immediately went to get the bag her father was carrying. The bag was opened and it was full of things. She took out a slingshot and a pen. The slingshot was for her fourth uncle and the pen was for her third uncle.
The things were not very good, but they were given by my niece, which made the two uncles extremely happy.
But the third uncle had sharp eyes and saw what was in An An's pocket at a glance.
"That of yours is..."
He saw a rolled up scroll.
"Ah, I bought this in the provincial capital too." An An took out the scroll and unfolded it as he spoke.
This is an incredible opening.
Lu Yongchang's eyes widened.
"This...how does this look like Zhang Xu's original work?"
"Zhang Xu?"
Cree Yaqian and Lu Yongguo on the side said in unison.
But Wang Qiaoping couldn't understand: "Lao San, who is Zhang Xu?"
"Mom, Zhang Xu is a great calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty." Lu Yongchang explained: "He is good at cursive script and is known as the 'Sage of Cursive'. His cursive script is messy and unbroken, changing like ghosts and gods. Most people can't imitate it."
.”
Lu Yongchang held the scroll, got closer, and looked at it again and again.
"Authentic, absolutely authentic, no one can imitate such charm."
"I didn't expect Yongchang to know this?" Que Yaqian said.
She knew in her heart that what Lu Yongchang said was probably true.
"He..." Wang Qiaoping continued from the side: "I like to think about these things all day long. I don't think they should be eaten or drunk. I don't know what's the use of thinking about them?"
"Then how much do you think a scroll like this is worth?" Que Yaqian asked.
"It's hard to say." Lu Yongchang said: "Those who like it regard it as a priceless treasure. In the past two years, it was smashed and burned in vain."
Lu Yongchang looked at it again, touched it, and reluctantly gave it back to An An.
"Third Uncle, you can keep it if you like." An An said.
"Keep...keep?" Lu Yongchang's voice was trembling.
He really liked it, but said: "This is too expensive. Third uncle can't have it."
"Why not?"
An An didn't understand. She just bought it out of curiosity. She couldn't say she liked it much. Since her third uncle liked it, she gave it to her.
"I still have a lot more."
An An walked over and opened the pocket to show his third uncle.
Lu Yongchang:……
"You...you...can you show these to your third uncle?"
Lu Yongchang's sharp eyes also saw an orphan copy of calligraphy inside.
"Of course you can. Third uncle can watch it as long as he wants."
"An'an..."
Lu Yongchang hugged An An excitedly: "You are really... really..."
He was at a loss for words.
How could there be such a perfect little thing in the world? He is sensible, cute, and kind. How could he be so virtuous and capable? How could he have such a wonderful niece?
Of course he would not snatch anything from a child, but just looking at such a precious thing is enough.
"Third...third uncle..."
An An used her little hands to push her third uncle away.
"I...I...can't breathe."
"You damn boy, please use less strength. Didn't you see that An An's face was turning red? Such a small person, how could he withstand your hug like this?" Wang Qiaoping scolded at the side.
"That's right, Mom."
Lu Yongguo then remembered that he had been carrying the straw rope in his hand for a long time.
That's a bunch of pig intestines.
"When we came back, we happened to see a pig being slaughtered in the town and some pigs went into the water. Let's eat this tonight."
"Okay." Wang Qiaoping took the pig's large intestine.
Upon seeing this, An An immediately said: "I'll help grandma light the fire."
Then he crawled out from under Uncle San's arm and went to the kitchen with a "thump thump thump" sound.
An An likes to light a fire for grandma the most.
Watching grandma cook is a kind of enjoyment.
Pig intestines are difficult to clean, so my grandma filled a large basin of water and brushed them several times with a brush before quickly cleaning the fat inside and then blanch them in a pot.
The stove in the new house is also newly built. Dad knows that An An loves to eat, so he specially built a double stove.
On this side, heat up the oil in a pan, take out the blanched large intestine, and fry until golden and crispy.
Cut the fried large intestine into sections, add rock sugar and stir-fry until the color turns sugary, then add onion, ginger, garlic, spices, dried chili...
Warm up the pot.
Grandma brought out a big plate.
An An had already picked up her chopsticks and was waiting.
The first bite after it comes out of the pot is a reward for An An's cooking.
Grandma watched as she blew the large intestine into her mouth.
"How is it?" Grandma asked impatiently.
"It's delicious." An An nodded in approval.
Wang Qiaoping was satisfied.
One loves to cook and the other loves to eat. They are the most compatible grandfather and grandson.
"Grandma, can you let me do it next time?" An An asked.
"no."
"Why?"
"you are too young."
"How big can it be done?"
"At least... he must be seven or eight years old."
Wang Qiaoping brought out a large bowl of pig intestines and shouted: "It's time to eat."
Immediately, a group of people in the family who were waiting for food gathered around and sniffed the spicy and fragrant vegetables.
"smell good……"
While eating, Lu Yongguo expressed his intention to buy the large truck.
"What? It's only been open for a few days, why do you want to buy it again?" When Lu Wenqi heard this, he put down the wine glass in his hand: "I don't agree!"
