At this time, a dog barked from outside, and then a black figure was seen rushing around the fence and wall.
This is an old black dog. It is quite old. Its hair is wet and has lost its luster when it was young. It has obviously smelled the aroma of meat. It sticks out its tongue and circles around the pot where the meat is cooked. The dog's tail is wagging rapidly.
Niudan took out the internal organs of the loach and poured them into a stone basin in the corner of the yard. He also took out the almost boiled loach bones and threw them into the stone basin together.
The old black dog used the trick of a hungry dog to pounce on food, and slurped up all the delicacies in the stone basin. He even licked the bottom of the basin clean. Still unsatisfied, he ran to the cow egg and stuck out his tongue, wagging his tail.
It has to be like a windmill.
However, as he shook his head, the old black dog suddenly turned his head and ran outside in a hurry. He disappeared outside the door in the blink of an eye, leaving the three people in the room confused.
After Black Dog left, not long after, four more people walked in outside the door.
The old man at the front who is skinny, with wrinkles and age spots on his face, and a somewhat hunched back is Niu Dan's grandfather, Niu Fugui.
Following Niu Fugui was a burly man with a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a sallow face. Next to him was a petite woman with an oval face, big eyes, and a high nose.
Some of them can definitely be called beauties, but at this time their faces are full of color and exhaustion.
This man and woman are Niu Dan's parents, Niu Gen and Wang Cuihua, and the last, thin figure is his ten-year-old eldest sister Niu Wanwan.
"It smells so good, Cuihua, I'm right, it comes from home."
The dark-skinned Niu Gen said to his wife beside him.
"Strange, where does the smell of meat come from at home?"
Wang Cuihua's voice was full of surprise.
"Mom, did the egg kill the chicken?"
Niu Wanwan licked her lips, her eyes a little bright.
Niu Fugui stroked his beard and nodded, "Nine times out of ten, otherwise where would the aroma of meat come from!"
Wang Cuihua felt nervous when she heard what her father-in-law said. Poor children have long been in charge. In the village, it is not uncommon for six or seven-year-old children to kill chickens.
She hurriedly put down the farm tools in her hands and crawled into the chicken coop.
At this time, Niudan happened to come out of the kitchen house with Da Ya Er Ya, who had a red face.
Before Niudan could open his mouth, Da Ya Er Ya told him about touching a loach in a squeaky voice. At the same time, he emphasized that the meat was very fragrant and delicious.
Wang Cuihua, who had just emerged from the chicken coop, heard the words of the two girls, her eyes showed remorse, distress and a hint of anger, and she pulled out a cane without saying a word.
Niu Dan saw that it was okay, and instinctively ran behind his grandfather Niu Fugui, "Grandpa, save me!"
Niu Fugui rubbed his grandson's head with a smile and said to his daughter-in-law: "Cuihua, the child is fine, why not forget it."
"Dad, you can't spoil him. He's just getting better, and then he goes out to get wet in the rain. If he catches the cold, I--"
As she said this, Wang Cuihua couldn't help but think of her child's unconscious appearance a few days ago. She felt so sad that she threw away the cane, turned around and ran into the house, crying.
The two girls looked at it and seemed to be in trouble, so they hurried out with their short legs.
Before leaving, Da Ya did not forget to tell Niu Dan that he must call her "Yun Yun" next time he touched a loach.
"Look, I made you cry, and you still don't go in and admit your mistake."
Niu Gen glared at his son, turned around and walked towards the kitchen house. The strong aroma had long ago aroused his greed. Even if he couldn't eat meat, he would just drink the gravy.
But just as he was about to lift the lid of the pot, Wang Cuihua, who had been hiding in the house, rushed out, slapped her husband Niu Gen's ears, and angrily shouted: "What do you want to do? The meat must be left for the baby to replenish his health."
A very simple sentence, but a warm current flowed through Niu Dan's heart. Although he knew that Wang Cuihua really cared about the original owner of this body, he still couldn't erase the warmth of empathy.
"No, I didn't want to do anything, I just smelled it."
Niu Gen said sarcastically.
Seeing his son's cowardice, Niu Fugui was not surprised and walked into his house with a smile.
Although this is an era where men are superior to women, henpecking is the tradition of their Niu family. Niu Fugui has always made the final decision on big things in the family. Previously, it was Niu Zhou who made the final decision on small matters. After she passed away, it was her daughter-in-law Wang Cuihua's turn. As for Niu Gen,
Just be obedient.
"Gulu~"
A muffled sound came from Niu Wanwan's belly, and she turned pale and couldn't help but cover her belly.
She had only eaten two wild vegetable dumplings so far in the morning, and had been working in the fields all morning, and now she was so hungry that her chest was touching her back.
"Sister, I'm hungry. Mom is going to get you something to eat."
Wang Cuihua gave her daughter a distressed look, then quickly returned to the house and took out some beans and chestnuts.
However, she soon discovered that there was no pot for cooking, and the only two clay pots at home were used to cook meat and soup with eggs.
"Mom, why don't we all just eat meat today? I still have some."
She walked up to Wang Cuihua carrying a wooden bucket like a cow egg offering a treasure. There were three large black loaches in the bucket.
Naturally, he caught these three large loaches from the space while his family was not paying attention. Although they were not as big as the previous one, the three of them together weighed three to forty kilograms.
"Son, where did you catch it?"
Niu Gen's eyes were shining, such a big loach was rare, and the fields in the village could not raise such a big guy.
"exist--"
Niu Dan rolled his eyes, "This is a secret."
"Hey~ I know even if you don't tell me, it must have been caught on the other side of the lake."
Niu Gen's face was full of determination.
The next moment, Niu Dan felt that his ears were being pinched.
Wang Cuihua's eyebrows stood up, her oval face full of anger, "Little brat, how many times have I told you, you are not allowed to go to the lake to play, you are not allowed to go to the lake to play! Why do you have such a short memory?
"
"Mom, I was wrong, I never dare to do it again."
Niu Dan quickly admitted his mistake.
After hearing her son's admission, Wang Cuihua let go of her hand and her expression softened.
She stretched out her hand to take the bucket, and did not forget to warn: "Next time you disobey me, mother will lock you in the house and you are not allowed to go anywhere!"
"Yes, yes, I promise to be obedient. Mom, I'm hungry. Let's eat quickly."
Wang Cuihua looked at the three big things inside the wood, and thought of the eager eyes of her husband and daughter. Her heart softened, and she turned around and took out six pottery bowls from the stove, and then began to divide the meat.
Except for the bowl with eggs, which was filled with slices of meat, the other five bowls only had half a bowl. Even so, there was still more than half of the meat in the pot, and the hot aroma spread everywhere.
"Son, give this bowl of meat to your Uncle Niu Si."
In Niujia Village, the two families have the closest relationship.
Uncle Niu's real name is Niu Chun. When he was young, he served as a soldier outside. He was not a miscellaneous soldier but a serious soldier in the state capital. He was among the elite in the army.
Later, he was deported because he was lame during the war, and was assigned to work as a prison guard in the county, receiving a monthly salary.
He had only been working as a prison chief for half a year, but he didn't know what happened. Niu Chun suddenly resigned from his position and returned to Niujia Village to farm. At that time, this incident caused a lot of commotion in Niujia Village, and Niu Dan has a deep memory.
In any case, Niu Chun can be said to be the most knowledgeable person in Niujia Village. People in the village have been to the county as far away as possible, but Niu Chun has even been to the capital.
