Chapter 68
Chrysanthemum is a wild vegetable that grows by the ditch next to the house. Every day, the face wash water is just poured on the side of the ditch.

At first, everyone didn't care. After all, in the beginning, this chrysanthemum is no different from other places. There are vegetables in the vegetable garden at home, and wild vegetables are not uncommon.

Until one day later, Erniang suddenly discovered how the chrysanthemum next to the ditch was so crisp and green, especially lush, with a strong fragrance.

So now, almost every day or two in their family, they must eat a meal of chrysanthemum.

"Eat steamed eggs today, is there enough millet?" Erniang washed the hands of the two children, and placed two bowls of steamed egg custard in front of millet and iron eggs.

Xiaomi immediately narrowed his eyes with a smile: "Thank you mother."

Tie Dan danced with joy and shouted, "Mother!"

One wooden spoon per person is specially made of bamboo slices by Jiang Hu, which is polished very smoothly.

Although it is only seven months old, Xiaomi has been completely weaned, but in the middle of the night, he will secretly add a little milk powder to himself, and the same is true of iron eggs.

Egg custard, cans of porridge, and occasionally fish with fish bones, or minced lean meat, added to egg custard or porridge.

Basically, it's enough. It's enough to supplement the needs of the day, and it can also make Er Niang don't have to worry about breastfeeding them every day.

Erniang touched her head by herself: "Eat it quickly, the lean meat daddy bought in the morning, my mother added it to the egg custard for you."

Xiaomi hurriedly shouted at her father: "Thank you, father."

Tiedan follows suit: "Father!"

The vocal cords of the two are not fully developed, and their speech is a little vague, but this does not prevent the family from being able to understand.

"You don't need to thank me, just have a good meal, eat the egg custard, and then have some steamed buns."

Speaking of which, Jiang Hu picked up the bowl and drank a big mouthful of porridge. Don't look at this clear soup with little water, most of which is half a bowl of water, and there is no rice, but on a hot day, just drink this bowl of cold porridge, not to mention how comfortable it is.

But in the end, who is going to work, of course, it can't be just such a bowl of porridge with little water in clear soup.

Erniang followed with another pot of steamed buns, made of thick noodles mixed with refined flour, and a plate of rotten meat kimchi.

The lean meat is minced and fried with kimchi, especially for rice.

Break open the steamed buns, scoop a spoonful of rotten meat kimchi and stuff it in, it is appetizing and filling the stomach, and it is not too delicious with rice soup-like porridge.

Jiang Hu was really hungry, so he picked up the steamed buns and started eating. He didn't forget to greet Er Niang: "Er Niang, you should eat quickly, don't just take care of us."

The family sat around the dining table and ate a sumptuous lunch. Who would have thought that half a year ago, when Erniang gave birth to a child, she could only eat two worms from the ground to supplement her nutrition?

Compared with the situation at that time, thinking about the oil and meat now, it is really comfortable to eat a full meal.

Xiaomi was also hungry, sitting in her chair and eating bite by bite with a small spoon, the iron egg next to her was different.

I slapped it into the bowl, but luckily I washed my hands, otherwise I wouldn't be able to eat this meal.

Holding the spoon in the other hand, he scooped up a big spoon, but half of it fell out, and then he didn't move his hand, his mouth grew close to the spoon, and it was a mouthful.

Every time I eat a meal with iron eggs, it is like fighting a war. Fortunately, there is a special place for bowls in front of the small chair. The iron eggs are not ambiguous, and the custard that falls on it will be eaten directly in the mouth as soon as the head is buried. .

Look at the millet again, slowly feed it into the mouth one by one, and it doesn't fall out at all. It's not too clean.

Every now and then, whether it is Jiang Hu or Erniang, they will sigh sincerely, it is indeed the reincarnation of a little lucky star, which is different from ordinary children!
Then he hurriedly changed Tie Dan's clothes and washed his face.

The millet has grown a little incisor. After eating the egg custard, I asked for another piece of steamed bun. Although it is not all refined flour, it is fine to chew slowly.

When Tie Dan saw it, he also stretched out his hand to his parents, also wanting a piece of steamed bun.

Erniang also broke off a small piece for him.

The most worry-free thing about the two children is that they don't cry or make trouble, whether it's eating, drinking, or Lhasa, they just use their voices to remind adults.

When they were full, Erniang poured a bowl of warm water for each of them and asked them to drink slowly with a small spoon.

Xiaomi is not in a hurry, and the iron egg is like playing with water, and his whole body gets wet in a while.

But fortunately, the food and water were all eaten in the stomach, Erniang went to wash the dishes, Jiang Hu slapped the iron eggs cleanly, and threw them into the basin to wash them clean. Iron egg's clothes were washed.

This is the most convenient point in the summer. Put a basin of water outside in the morning, wait for the sun to get hot until noon, and take a bath directly without fear of catching a cold.

After the iron eggs were cleaned, Er Niang drove the children back to the room for a lunch break, while she and Jiang Hu brought the corn under the eaves to the yard again.

In the morning, they went to the field early in the morning, and the ones in the house didn't have time to dry. After they came back, Erniang was busy cooking. The sun is good now, so I continued to dry all the corn that was broken before.

When it's night, you have to take it all back, so as not to get wet in the middle of the night.

Although this is a bit troublesome, it is only troublesome these days. After all, the corn is not dried in the sun. If it rains, the piles are afraid of germination.

The couple was busy for a while, sweating profusely, but no one said that they were tired, and they were even very happy.

This is food, it is their ration for the next year!

Even if the family makes a lot of money from selling vegetables, it is still not as good as a full warehouse of food, which can bring people a sufficient sense of security.

After all the corn was dried in the yard, Jiang Hu wiped his sweat: "Second Mother, you should go to rest too, I'll go look at the cows in the back."

Before, in addition to selling vegetables, I could usually take the cows to the mountains to graze. These days, the farming has been busy, so I have no time to herd the cows.

However, this cow is not picky eaters. Although the corn is mature, the corn stalks are not all old, and there are still many green leaves. If you cut a bundle of corn stalks, this cow can eat for most of the day.

Erniang: "I brought it a bucket of water when I came back, but it's hot today, so you can bring another bucket."

The couple promised Mr. Ding, and they did it. Except for the morning dishes, they almost didn't let the cows do any work.

Even in this harvest season, Jiang Hu carried the baskets to the house by himself, the big buffalo rested at home, the ox cart was empty, and he did not let the cart help pull the corn.

For this reason, many people in the village said that he was dead-headed. The owner of the ox cart was not in Fu'an Village, nor did he know that he was pulling corn with oxen.

Even the big baby said that they use it secretly, so what if Grandpa Ding didn't know?

But neither Jiang Hu nor Erniang expressed their disapproval of this matter.

In Jiang Hu's original words: "Let's not say we promised, we must do it. Besides, how do you know that we secretly used it, and no one in the village will tell Mr. Ding?"

In this regard, Dawa thought about it and understood a little.
