It was a long walk from the station to the family compound. Tong Xuelu was almost exhausted with a large bag and a small bag.
I really miss the modern means of transportation, it is very convenient and fast to go anywhere.
It seems that I still have to work hard to make money. Even if I can't buy a car for the time being, I can get a bicycle to ride.
"Xuelu, are you back?"
When Aunt Cai saw Tong Xuelv step into the yard, she shouted excitedly with her throat pulled.
Tong Xuelu smiled and nodded: "Yes, Aunt Cai, I went to my foster parents' house for a night. They didn't want me to leave so quickly, but I really don't worry about brothers Jia Ming and Jia Xin."
Aunt Cai looked relieved: "It's a blessing for their two brothers to have you as a sister! But it's good if you come back. If you don't come back, some people may say what you are!"
Tong Xuelv left less than a day after he came back, and some people started to speculate when they found out.
Some said that Tong Xuelu couldn't stand the hard life and ran away, and some said that she came back to take Tong Mianmian away. Tong Mianmian is small and good-looking, and this kind of little girl is wanted a lot.
When Aunt Cai heard it, she was so angry that she scolded them on the spot.
Now that she sees Tong Xuelu coming back, can she not sing aloud and hit them in the face
Tong Xuelu glanced at everyone in the yard: "this is my home, where can I go if I don't come back? It's just that my adoptive parents are too reluctant for me, they have prepared a lot of things for me to bring back, you see I have both hands. Can't move anymore!"
She stayed in the city last night. First, she sent Tong Zhenzhen to the farm to pretend to be sick. Second, she wanted to let the people in the compound know that the four siblings were not helpless orphans. If anyone wanted to bully them, it was best to weigh them up. Check your own weight.
Aunt Cai responded like a joke in a cross talk: "Your adoptive parents are so kind to you, too, since you have been raised for more than ten years, isn't that the same as your own daughter?"
Tong Xuelv nodded with a smile, and brought things into the room.
She took a few fruit tan peels and hawthorn slices, and asked Tong Mianmian to go to the next door to find pig eggs to play with, and rested for a while to wash her hands and make dinner.
The Tong family gave a pound of pork belly and potatoes, and she planned to make potato braised pork and hot and sour shredded potatoes.
She quickly cleaned the pork belly, blanched it in cold water for a minute, then picked it up and soaked it in cold water until it was cool.
Then she cut the pork belly skin into four squares. Considering Tong Mianmian's small size, she deliberately cut it a little smaller.
On the way back, she went to the supply and marketing agency to buy some Chinese prickly ash and star anise and other spices.
After the pot is boiled, add the spices, onion, ginger and garlic in cold oil, and fry slowly over low heat.
When the fragrance comes out, add the pork belly pieces, stir fry until the surface changes color, put the pork belly pieces aside, and add rock sugar.
Rock sugar is most afraid of sticking to the pot, so keep stirring and stirring. After frying the sugar color, add soy sauce, and bring the pork belly pieces on the side and stir fry to color.
After each piece of pork belly is evenly colored, pour it into a casserole, add three bowls of water, and then cover the pot and simmer on medium heat after the fire is boiled.
In fact, it is best to use low heat to stew pork belly, but it takes an hour to use low heat, and this time is not enough.
After a while, the smell of meat gradually came out from the pot.
The rich fragrance permeated the entire yard, making everyone present couldn't help swallowing.
The adults couldn't bear it, but the children couldn't bear it, so they ran to the door of Tong's house and inhaled the aroma one by one.
Some of the younger children rolled on the ground and cried, "I want meat, I want meat!"
Even if the child is ignorant, the key point is that the parents of these bear children are even more ignorant.
Old Lin's wife came over, grinned and said with yellow teeth: "Daughter, you cook so much delicious food every day, your adoptive parents must be rich, right?"
Tong Xuelu smiled without saying a word: You have no money if you have money.
Seeing Tong Xuelu's smile, Lao Lin's daughter-in-law pushed her nose more and more: "Daughter, your meat is so fragrant, you look at the child and cry, and when it's ready, you will share a small half bowl for your aunt?"
Aunt Cai next door became anxious when she heard this, but before she could speak, she saw Tong Xuelv smiling and nodding: "Okay."
Lao Lin's daughter-in-law slapped her thigh and said with a smile, "Daughter-in-law, you're right. Neighbors should help each other."
Tong Xuelu smiled and nodded again: "Auntie is right."
Lao Lin's daughter-in-law laughed until her mouth was so close to her ears: "Oh, this meat smells old, it's almost done, right? I'll go home and get a bowl."
"Wait a minute, auntie," Tong Xuelu called to stop her, "since auntie wants to go back, why don't you bring ten catties of rice to me by the way."
When Lao Lin's wife heard this, she exploded on the spot: "Why should I give you ten pounds of rice?!"
Ten jins of rice costs one yuan forty-three cents, and she asks for ten jins of rice as soon as she opens her mouth. Why is her face so big
Tong Xuelu looked aggrieved: "Didn't my aunt say that neighbors should help each other? My rice is gone, so I don't want to ask my aunt for some."
Aunt Cai finally found a chance to speak: "Oh, when I asked for meat to eat, I said that I wanted to help each other, but when I looked back, I didn't pull out a hair. Why do you think some people's faces are so big?"
"… "
Lao Lin's daughter-in-law seemed to be caught by a chicken that was strangled by her neck, and her face flushed red.
Some people in the courtyard just heard that Lao Lin's wife was going to get a bowl of meat, and their hearts were moved, and their faces were embarrassed at the moment.
After Lao Lin's wife left, Tong Xuelv continued to prepare dinner, the corners of his mouth hooked up slightly.
Want to take advantage of her
Impossible, impossible in this lifetime.
While the braised pork was still simmering, she peeled the potatoes and shredded them.
She was very skilled with the knife, and each potato she cut out was evenly sized, which made Aunt Cai amazed.
After Lao Lin's wife returned home, the more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt. She rolled her eyes and went out to Xu's house.
Xu Baigen and Zhou Fang haven't got off work yet, but Xu's mother is at home.
After a while, she came out of Xu's house and spat fiercely in the direction of Tong Xuelu.
Pooh!
Damn girl, look back at the Xu family and don't return the station, let's see how she cries!
Tong Xuelu didn't know the plan behind Lao Lin's wife, she threw the diced potatoes into the casserole, and then fished the soaked shredded potatoes out of the water.
After heating the oil pan, add the peppercorns, ginger, garlic and onion and sauté until fragrant, then stir-fry the shredded potatoes, stir-fry for a minute or two, and then pour the vinegar along the pan.
The sun was setting in the west, and people who got off work came home one after another.
As soon as they walked into the family compound, an unbridled scent wafted through their nostrils, and everyone suddenly became agitated.
"Where did the scent come from?"
"It's so fragrant, what does it taste like?"
"I smell the smell of meat, and there is a special sour and spicy aroma!"
Everyone subconsciously looked in the direction of Tong's house, and when they saw Tong Xuelu's figure, they couldn't help crying.
Tears flowed from the corners of everyone's mouth-
This day can't be over.
The two brothers Tong Jiaming and Tong Jiaxin finally came back, each holding two bundles of firewood in their hands.
Seeing the smoke billowing from the kitchen door, Tong Jiaxin's eyes brightened: "Great, I can finally have dinner tonight!"
Tong Jiaming raised his eyes and glanced at him: "finally? Then what did you eat before?"
Tong Jiaxin frantically secreted saliva, and smirked twice: "Second brother, I definitely don't mean to dislike your cooking like pig food, really!"
Tong Jiaming: "..."
It's all said to be pig food, isn't this called disgust
Tong Jiaxin didn't see his brother's expression, so he ran towards the house: "little sister, the third brother is back!"
Hearing the movement, Tong Mianmian kicked her short legs and ran out of the room.
Tong Jiaxin hurriedly dropped the dry wood and opened his hands to her: "little sister, third brother misses you so much!"
Tong Mianmian didn't seem to see him, so she ran past him directly: "Second brother!"
Tong Jiaxin: "… "
The scene was very embarrassing.
When Tong Xuelu saw this, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
The braised pork belly was just about to collect the juice, the lid of the casserole was opened, and a strong aroma permeated the yard.
Tong Jiaxin moved his nose and instantly forgot his embarrassment. The next moment, someone appeared in front of the stove with his eyes glued to the braised pork.
The pork belly and potatoes are stewed until crisp and tender, the fat meat is crystal clear, the pork skin glows with a layer of oily light, the fried candy-colored pork is bright and attractive, and the juice is thick and fragrant.
So delicious!
Tong Jiaxin glanced at Tong Xuelu, and said, "Well, let me help you, bring in the braised pork with potatoes?"
Tong Xuelu said in a light voice, "Yes."
Tong Jiaxin grinned to the bottom of his ears when he heard the words, picked up the braised pork with potatoes and said sillyly, "It's dinner, it's dinner!"
Tong Xuelv followed him with hot and sour shredded potatoes.
After entering, she packed another bowl of braised pork with potatoes, and was about to take it to Aunt Cai next door, but she heard the voices of the two Tong brothers at the door.
"Second brother, don't worry, I helped her serve the dishes just now, and I definitely didn't give up!"
"I'm pretending to be nice to her so that she'll stay and help us cook, second brother, do you think I'm very smart?"
"do not think so."
"Why don't you think so?! Second brother, your cooking is so bad. If I don't be nice to her, what if she runs away like Tong Zhenzhen?"
"To shut up!"
Tong Xuelu: "..."
If Tong Jiaming is a white and black, then Tong Jiaxin is a silly white bear.
Such a silly white bear still wants to play tricks on her
He really respects himself.
When it was time to eat, Tong Jiaxin was like someone who had been hungry for three days and three nights. When scooping the rice, he pressed and pressed it with a rice spoon, poured the soup of braised pork on the rice, and then started to eat with big mouthfuls.
The rice is mixed with the richness of the soup, and the braised pork is crispy and soft, so delicious that it makes people want to cry.
Woohoo so delicious!
He has never eaten such delicious pork in his life!
In order to be able to eat such delicious food in the future, he decided to pretend to be nicer to her in the future.
That's it!
Tong Jiaming eats a little faster than usual, even Tong Mianmian eats with bulging cheeks, like a cute little squirrel.
**
After eating, Tong Jiaxin was kicked to wash the dishes.
Tong Xuelv sat at the table with Tong Mianmian in her arms, and said concisely: "I have received an approval slip for my household registration, and tomorrow I will go to the Public Security Bureau to settle down."
Tong Jiaming: "Well."
Tong Xuelv asked: "What's the matter with the work station lent to the Xu family? Is the other party reliable?"
Tong Jiaming's voice was low and deep: "When my parents had an accident, Brother Xu and the others helped a lot."
Tong Xuelu: "what about you, what's your plan next? Do you want to go back to school to continue studying, or stay at home to do housework and take care of the children?"
"… "
Tong Jiaming's mouth twitched hard: "Of course I want to go back to school, but..."
But he was afraid that the money would not be kept, and the most worried thing was that they would be taken back to the countryside!
"It's nothing good, but since you want to go back to school, don't go to work from tomorrow, and remember to write a letter to Beihe's hometown, let's go, now take me to Xu's house."
Tong Xuelu ignored his entanglement and walked out holding Tong Mianmian's hand after speaking.
Tong Jiaming was startled for a moment, then quickly stood up and followed.
The night outside was ups and downs, and unknown night bugs were chirping in the corner.
The person in front of him has a tall and straight back, giving him an inexplicable feeling of being dependable.
Tong Mianmian turned around in front and waved to him softly: "Second brother, hurry up!"
"it is good!"
**
Wen Rugui returned to the dormitory from the research room, and Zhou Yan in the next room just came out of the room.
Seeing him grinning, he said, "I've been too busy for the past two days. I heard that your old man pretended to be sick and tricked you into going home for a blind date. What's up, does that girl look good?"
Wen Rugui stood with his back to the light, and pulled the corners of his mouth very lightly: "I don't know."
"So it's no play again?"
Wen Rugui made a sound of "um".
Zhou Yan heard the words "tsk": "It's really strange that you can't remember human faces. If you didn't know who you are, I would have thought you were deliberately embarrassing."
The moonlight shone down from the eaves, and Wen Rugui's tall and slender figure melted into the light.
Sudden.
A charming and charming face appeared in his mind, like the moles of tears under the skin of snow, which captured the soul.
Against the high red tile wall, the face was very clear under the sun.
The author has something to say: Wen Rugui: I have facial blindness.
Tong Xuelu: No, you didn't.
Tong Jiaxin: I live in Cao Ying and my heart is in Han, I bear humiliation and burden for the food...
Tong Jiaming: Shut up, don't talk stupid!
