When Zhang Cuifen saw this, she couldn't believe her eyes. She was so happy that she forgot about Ling Guoqiang's trouble of not borrowing rice from her elder brother's house.
"There is no rice for cooking today, but there are fish, chicken, and rabbits! Our Xiaowei is so awesome!" Zhang Cuifen praised sincerely. She was originally worried about what to eat today.
"Today is the first day for our family to move into a small house. We want to celebrate it properly." Ling Xiaowei said happily with her hands on her hips.
"Well, we should have a good celebration." Ling Guoqiang said happily. He really hadn't been this happy for a long time. He suddenly thought of his mother and said to Ling Xiaowei: "Go to the front and call grandma over."
"Okay!" Ling Xiaowei didn't know that her uncle and aunt had already left.
She skipped to the front, and even looked around for a moment. She didn't see the stinky-faced aunt. She quickly ran to the door of the hut and shouted: "Grandma, are you there?"
Why is the uncle's house so quiet today! There is Jiabao who usually plays with mud at the door! And Ling Chunxia, shouldn't she be picking vegetables at this time! Grandma should also start making lunch.
But at the uncle's house, the door was locked and the hut was gloomy. Ling Xiaowei peeked into the house and saw that it was in a mess, as if it had been robbed.
She pushed the door open and was suddenly startled by a lonely figure.
"Grandma! What's wrong with you?" Ling Xiaowei asked in surprise.
Why does grandma look so lonely, as if she has lost everything, sitting blankly on a low stool at the door, with obvious tear stains on her furrowed face.
Grandma just cried.
Suddenly a thought flashed through Ling Xiaowei's mind. Could it be that the uncle and the others moved away to the town today!
"Grandma!" Ling Xiaowei shouted softly.
Grandma's eyes moved and she looked at Ling Xiaowei, "It's Xiaowei! Why are you here?"
"Grandma, come to our house for lunch! I caught rabbits and pheasants today! Let's go, let's go!" Ling Xiaowei said happily, and took grandma's arm and pulled her up.
If the uncle’s family is gone, we still have them! She and her father will definitely support grandma in her old age.
"Grandma, let's go! You still have us. Dad and I will definitely honor you and provide for you in your old age."
Hearing Ling Xiaowei's words, grandma's sad face finally showed a smile, "I'm not going, you can eat it by yourself!"
Grandma is in an extremely depressed mood now and is not interested in anything. The more she is like this, the less she can let her stay home alone.
"Grandma, let's go! Look at the rabbit I caught, it's getting fat!" Ling Xiaowei took grandma's arm and dragged her out.
As soon as grandma walked out of the dim hut and was illuminated by the dazzling sunlight, she turned her head and saw the big house with the door closed. She suddenly sighed heavily, and then stopped as if she had made some decision.
"Xiaowei, wait a minute, go get something with grandma!"
What to take? Does grandma have a huge savings? Now the family is so poor that they have no food to cook. When Ling Xiaowei saw her grandma like this, all she could think about was money.
Before my grandfather passed away, he had a retirement salary. I heard my aunt complain that she hid all the money.
It seemed like a huge sum of money, and Ling Xiaowei was a little excited.
"Come, Xiaowei, there is a bag of rice here. Come get the bag and put it back. There are eggs here. Come..." Grandma took out a large bag of rice and a basket of eggs from the black coffin in her room.
We don’t have a huge sum of money! But it’s good to have rice and eggs! Ling Xiaowei took a snakeskin bag to put rice in, and filled a small half of the bag, which can be eaten for a week, and took ten eggs.
"Grandma, I picked a lot of toon heads today. They are very tender and the scrambled eggs are just right!" Ling Xiaowei said happily.
"Okay..." Grandma said okay several times.
After taking the rice, grandma went to the warehouse behind her house to take a look. After just one glance, she couldn't help but cursed: "What a white-eyed wolf, heartless."
Ling Xiaowei saw that there was only one sack of rice in the house. Could this be the rice that the uncle and the others left for grandma?
This... is too little!
Ling Xiaowei looked at the rice in her hand and wondered if she had taken too much just now.
"Grandma, when the wheat is harvested, you can make noodles and eat them," Ling Xiaowei said.
After hearing what Ling Xiaowei said, grandma smiled bitterly and said, "Let's go! There is no end to the road."
Yeah, yeah, God has a perfect path, and that’s what she’s told!
She took her grandma back to her home behind her. When Ming Ming saw her, she ran over to her and happily wanted to hug her with her hands raised. Ling Xiaowei couldn't bear to hug her, so she hugged her willingly.
"Sister, come on, there are... there are big chickens here..." Ming Ming stuttered and organized his words.
"It was my sister who caught them. Isn't my sister very powerful?" Ling Xiaowei said with her head held high and her chest high.
She was obviously very happy and jumped up and down and said: "Sister, you are so awesome!"
Everyone laughed happily when they saw Mingming like this.
Zhang Cuifang boiled a large pot of hot water, killed the pheasant, bled it, and placed it in a broken porcelain basin. She poured half of the pot of boiling water, and then turned the chicken over to let the hot water soak in.
It will be easy to pluck the hair after a while.
"Mom, you're here!" Zhang Cuifang saw her grandma and said hello.
"Let me do this!" Grandma took a branch, turned the chicken in the boiling water a few times, and then began to pluck the feathers very skillfully.
Ling Xiaowei stood aside and watched. She picked out all the feathers with beautiful colors. These feathers will be used one day.
"Xiaowei is very capable and has caught such a fat pheasant." Grandma said with a smile. Her face no longer had the ashen look before, and became much brighter.
A chicken was quickly plucked clean.
Zhang Cuifang was skinning a rabbit. This kind of gray rabbit skin was of little value, so Zhang Cuifang peeled it casually. Ling Xiaowei always felt that the fur would be used one day, so she said to Zhang Cuifang: "Peel a whole piece of this skin and keep it for use."
After listening to Ling Xiaowei's words, Zhang Cuifang actually peeled off the rabbit skin completely, "Keep this skin to make gloves in the winter." Zhang Cuifen looked at the rabbit skin in her hand, "It's just a little small."
After the rabbits and chickens were put away, Zhang Cuifang asked: "How should I cook this dish?"
Today was the first day of moving into a small house, and the food had to be good. She actually had a plan in mind, but Xiaowei had brought the rabbit and chicken back, so she still had to ask Xiaowei for her opinion.
Ling Xiaowei was grumbling with hunger at this time. She didn't have any objections. She wasn't good at cooking, so she just needed to eat. She said straightforwardly: "Cook whatever you want, as long as it tastes good. I'm already hungry! Hmm...
I only have one request, which is to braise the rabbit head. I want to eat the braised rabbit head." Ling Xiaowei laughed after saying this! She was still very greedy.
