Chapter 56

Parting is sad, but also for a better reunion next time.

Children have a lot of forgetfulness, there are delicious and fun things, and the sadness will not last long.

Sent Li Yufeng and Little Bao away, Hancheng went to work, Su Xiaoxiao took the cubs to the market to buy vegetables, and today it was the turn to buy what Zhuzi wanted to eat. The pillars are different from rice balls. In his eyes, Su Xiaoxiao does everything he does. is delicious.

Zhuzi knew that he was lucky. Little Bao was Aunt Su's nephew. He wanted to stay, but he had to go home when it was time to go home. He became a part of the Han family because he lost his home. Gratitude: "Aunt Su is delicious, you can buy it."

Su Xiaoxiao rubbed Zhuzi's head: "Auntie sees that Zhuzi likes to eat fish, right? Then let's buy a fish today."

Compared with other things, Zhu Zi really likes to eat fish. He lost two front teeth not long ago, so it is more convenient to eat softer food, but he did not expect Aunt Su to notice this problem, he smiled shyly: "it is good."

"Mom, what shall we eat at night?" the rice ball asked.

"Let's eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes at night. After we buy fish, we will go to the bridge in front to buy more eggs." Su Xiaoxiao discussed with the cubs.

The cubs naturally have no opinion. Anyway, if you can order the dishes you want to eat once a week, the small rice balls are still very satisfying.

I bought a very large Jinchang fish today. This fish requires a ticket. There are not many meat tickets at home. The meat that needs meat tickets will be eaten at most once or twice a week after this month. have to go to the black market to buy more eggs. stay.

The cubs came to the east market for the first time, and even Zhuzi didn't know there was a place here.

The little rice ball took her mother's hand and rolled her eyes: "Mom, this place looks like the place where I bought oil last time."

Otherwise, how can small rice balls be smart, they are all black markets, can they be different?

"This place can't be known to so many people. It's also our family's secret. You can't tell it outside, do you know?" Although it's a tacit secret that everyone comes here to buy things, it's one thing to know, and another to publicize it. Another thing, only a big mouth like Chen Aimin would be afraid that people don't know that he went to the black market to buy things.

Little Rice Ball and Little Zhuzi nodded, indicating that they understood.

The family is lucky, there are egg sellers at the door, and there are not many, that is, ten or eight, but there are some dark spots on the eggshells, which look a little stale.

The funny thing is, the aunt seems to have brought the hen that lays eggs with her. The little hen is motionless in the cage, looking unimpressive.

"Auntie, how much is your egg?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

The egg seller was an aunt in her fifties. She glanced at Su Xiaoxiao and a few cubs and slapped them: "Five cents a piece, the quality is not very good, if the quality is good, it will sell for six Seven cents a piece."

This auntie is very sincere. Fresh and bigger eggs do cost six or seven cents a piece. Su Xiaoxiao knows the price.

"Give these to me." Su Xiaoxiao said.

Auntie didn't expect Su Xiaoxiao to be so good at talking. These eggs are all leftovers from the sale, and it seems that they will close the stall at this point. Auntie thought they couldn't sell them.

"One for ten, fifty cents. By the way, do you want this hen? If you want it, take it for three dollars. It must weigh two or three pounds. If it hadn't laid eggs for a long time, I would be reluctant to sell it."

After all, a hen is worth the price of dozens of eggs. Even if she lays eggs the next day, she will be able to make a return in half a year, but this hen has not laid eggs for more than half a month. Keep it, it will waste food, Don't keep it, it's not a festival, and the aunt is reluctant to eat it herself, so she just gritted her teeth and sold it together with the last few eggs.

But the appearance of this hen is not very good. There is still a little baldness on the tail. Everyone who is stunned can't look at it. As a result, it was deserted by everyone when the market was about to close. Hope, no one really wanted her, so she had to take it home and eat it by herself.

The rice ball squatted down and touched the head of the little hen. The little hen tilted her head and glanced at the rice ball, then lowered her head again.

Xiaodoubao also squatted down and touched it, raised his head to look at his mother: "Mama, buy it~~~"

Su Xiaoxiao asked her aunt: "Auntie, if we buy it, can you give us this cage?"

The aunt looked at her hard to believe: "You, do you really want to buy it?"

Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "It's rare that the children want to buy it, so let's take it back together."

Auntie was overjoyed: "Yes, yes, I knitted the cage myself and gave it to you."

In order to deceive the public, my aunt specially wrapped the cage with a few large lotus leaves, and the rice balls and the pillars took turns to bring them home.

In this way, there is another member of the family.

When they got home, the rice balls and the pillar put the little hen in the chicken coop, scaring the porridge, noodles, and rice.

"Porridge, Noodles, Noodles, we found a new mother for you, are you happy?" the rice ball asked.

The porridge, noodles and rice fluttered with small wings, hid in the corner and shivered, obviously not liking this "new mother" very much.

Zhuzi said: "Grandma said that porridge, noodles, noodles and rice are all roosters, right? Then let's raise this little hen to lay eggs."

The rice ball said, "But the grandma who sold it to us said that it hasn't laid eggs for a long time, and I don't know if it will lay eggs."

Zhuzi thought for a while and said, "Let's dig more earthworms and feed it, and it should be able to lay eggs. In the past, there was an old hen in our house that didn't lay eggs for several days. My grandma said it might be because I ate too much green vegetables and didn't eat any food and food. Worms, then I dig earthworms every day to feed them, and they lay eggs again."

Even Su Xiaoxiao felt strange about Zhuzi's statement: "Is there such a thing?"

Zhuzi nodded: "The eggs laid after eating earthworms are very large, and the yolks are very yellow."

The rice ball was so happy: "Okay, okay, then we will dig more earthworms every day, but the vegetable garden has already been planted by grandma, what should my mother do?"

Just after the rice ball asked, the cerebellum melon seeds flashed: "I know, there must be a lot of earthworms in the lotus pond of Dun Dun's house. We can dig there every day after school."

Su Xiaoxiao knew that there was no danger if the lotus pond was dry, but she was not sure if there were earthworms below: "You asked Grandma Dundun first, and she said yes."

The rice ball nodded: "It's definitely possible, Dun Dun also digs earthworms to feed their hens every day."

Okay, since the cubs are all arranged clearly, Su Xiaoxiao has nothing to say, that is, this little hen is always wilting, Su Xiaoxiao is a little worried that it will not live long.

Today, eat braised fish for lunch. Jinchang fish has many thorns and less thorns, which is most suitable for the elderly and children.

Su Xiaoxiao first fry both sides of the fish until golden brown, then pour the sauce mixed with soy sauce, salt, white sugar, mature vinegar and some water along the side of the pot, sprinkle a lot of ginger, and finally pour a few drops of white wine. Cover and simmer for a few minutes, wait until the juice is almost collected, then put in a large number of prepared shallots, cover and simmer for about a minute, a simple and delicious braised Jinchang fish is out of the pot.

The mung bean sprouts that Li Yufeng had raised with sand for a few days finally began to sprout, bursting the shell of the mung bean, revealing a short section of white and plump watercress. It is estimated that it will be ready to eat in two or three days.

Green vegetables are jealous of Chinese cabbage today. Since the oil supply at home is sufficient, Su Xiaoxiao is willing to fry green vegetables in an oil pan, dig out a small spoon of lard saved before, put in the shredded ginger and minced garlic, Mr. Li Yufeng said Chinese cabbage is cold in nature. When frying it, you must add some shredded ginger or dried chili to remove the cold. Children cannot eat spicy food, so Su Xiaoxiao will add some shredded ginger, which has become a cooking habit.

Stir fry the Chinese cabbage, add an appropriate amount of salt, a little sugar instead of monosodium glutamate to taste, drizzle a circle of white vinegar and stir fry evenly before serving.

Today's dish is simple and appetizing, Hancheng stepped on it and came back, smelling the sour taste and suddenly stomach rumbling with hunger.

Seeing the children surrounded by the chicken coop, he asked Su Xiaoxiao in surprise, "What are they doing?"

Su Xiaoxiao took Hancheng's briefcase and asked him to wash his hands and prepare to eat: "Today, I went to buy eggs at the bottom of the East Bridge, and by the way, I bought a shriveled little hen. The cubs like it very much, but the little hen has a tail. I'm a little bald, I don't know if it's sick or not, and I'm worried that it won't live long."

Su Xiaoxiao was very worried, and regretted buying it back on impulse. Now she must be reluctant to kill it, but if you don't kill it, the cubs will be even more sad if they die.

Hancheng undid the cufflinks and kissed Su Xiaoxiao on the forehead: "It's okay, I'll go take a look."

The rice ball was poking the head of the little hen with his fingers. The little hen was motionless and worried: "Why is it not happy at all? We just want it to lay eggs, and we won't eat it."

Zhuzi was also worried, and he shook his head: "I have never seen such a quiet little hen before. The one in my family that can't lay eggs runs very fast."

"I'll take a look." Hancheng crouched down.

The rice ball stood up, as if seeing a savior: "Dad, you're back, you're a doctor, go and see if Huahua is ill, and she squatted here for a long time and wouldn't move."

Hancheng: "..." He is a military doctor, not a veterinarian.

Yes, after a while, the little hen liked to mention the name Huahua, because of the few hair spots left on its tail, the little rice ball named it Huahua.

Hancheng picked up the little hen, looked at it carefully and put it down: "There are worms in the stomach and body. Dad will come back with some deworming medicine in the afternoon, feed it a little, and apply a little more on the body. It will be fine in a few days."

"Wow!"

The two big cubs cheered, cast adoring eyes at Hancheng, and gave a thumbs up: "Dad/Uncle Han, great!"

The little hen is fine, the cubs are relieved, and the lunch is particularly delicious.

In the afternoon, Hancheng came back from get off work and brought deworming medicine. He took it both internally and externally, and the cubs admired him more and more.

After dinner, Su Xiaoxiao called the two big cubs over to sit in a row, each handing out a new schoolbag: "You will go to school tomorrow, this is a school gift from mom, mom hopes you can study hard, Day Day Up ."

Zhu Zi couldn't put it down when he touched the new schoolbag. The schoolbag he was carrying was remodeled from old clothes by his grandmother. It was full of patches. He used to envy his classmates for having new schoolbags. I made one for him, but never said anything. I didn't expect that Aunt Su had already prepared it for himself: "Thank you Aunt Su, I will definitely study hard, Day Day Up."

Onigiri immediately put his schoolbag on his back, walked around the room, and showed off his ass: "I announce that my classmate Little Onigiri will soon become a glorious elementary school student!"

Xiaodoubao ran back to the room with "dong dong", and also carried his small schoolbag on his back, imitating his brother's appearance: "dang learn~~~"

Amused the whole family laughed heartily.

Early the next morning, while Hancheng took the children out for morning exercises, Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly went to the state-run restaurant with Xiaodoubao in her arms to buy a few fried dough sticks, and also bought back the noon dishes by the way.

When Su Xiaoxiao arrived home, Hancheng and the children also came back, and the boiled eggs that were placed on the porridge at home also came out of the pot.

Su Xiaoxiao put a fried dough stick and two eggs in the shape of 100 points for everyone in the family, and said to the cubs: "Cubs, today is your first day of school. Mom hopes that you will have a happy primary school. In my career, I can get 100% in every subject!"

"Wow!"

The cubs cheered again: "Mom/Aunt Su, don't worry, we will definitely take a 100% test!"

Su Xiaoxiao raised the horn: "Glorious pupils, start it, let's attack the 100th!"

Cubs: "Attack 100!"

Hancheng looked at his wife with gentle eyebrows, reached out and rubbed her head, moved beyond words.
