I farmed and built a villa in ancient times

Chapter 61
Zhou Chenyu breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and poked his head, "I will be bullied, do you think it's possible?"

Baoyu covered her forehead, looked at her sister's happy expression, came over with a gossipy face, and said with an ambiguous smile: "Sister, have you seen Leader Yang?"

"Why do children care so much about adults' matters?"

Zhou Chenyu pretended to scold him severely, left him outside the door, and entered the house.

Baoyu looked at the smile that couldn't be concealed on her sister's lips, and blinked briskly, "It seems not bad for Team Leader Yang to be my brother-in-law."

When it got dark, Li Xiuju took out the lamp that had been dusty in the corner for a long time, blew off the dust on the surface, poured lamp oil on it, put two rushes on it, and lit it with an open flame.

A weak flame the size of a candle burned brighter and brighter, lighting up the dark room.

Li Xiuju's vicissitudes of life also lit up with light, "Now that we have lamp oil, we don't have to rush to eat before dark. You guys can rest here while my mother goes cooking."

A gust of wind blew in. Zhou Chenyu and Baoyu were afraid that the fire would be blown out. They both stepped forward to protect the light, but their heads hit each other head on. "Ah, it hurts!"

Li Xiuju heard the two people wailing, walked into the kitchen with a smile, and made a few dishes.

The pork and white tofu bought during the day were the main dishes on the dinner table tonight. Together with the tender sweet potato leaves newly picked from the vegetable garden, they were made into three dishes: braised tofu, stir-fried pork with chili, and stir-fried sweet potato leaves with garlic. It was enough. The whole family ate.

Buy the fat and lean parts of the pork, and use the lean part for the braised tofu, cut it into cubes and stir-fry until cooked.

Put the tender and smooth tofu into the pot, cut the surface until golden, pour in the stir-fried minced meat, top with the prepared sauce, simmer over high heat for a while, then sprinkle with a few chopped green onions as a garnish, and it's ready right away It’s ready.

Cut the remaining fatty pork into thin slices, fry for a while, pour out a little hot oil, add green peppers, cut two pieces of garlic sprouts, and stir-fry over high heat. The pungent aroma of peppers and garlic will immediately overflow.

After a plate of translucent fried meat with green peppers comes out of the pot, there is no need to wash the pot. Just add minced garlic and tender sweet potato leaves while it is still hot, and you will soon have a plate of green and tender vegetable dishes.

Several plates of delicious home-cooked dishes were brought to the table. Baoyu couldn't wait to reach out with his chopsticks and stuffed a few pieces of meat into one mouthful. His lips became oily as he ate, "It's been a long time since I've eaten pork. It's so delicious."

Zhou Chenyu didn't like eating fatty pork before, because he always felt it had a strange smell.

But smelling the aroma of fried meat with green pepper, it's hard to resist. After one bite, it tastes not only fragrant with pepper and meat, but also tastes not bad at all.

At that moment, Zhou Chenyu didn't care about the grease at the corner of his mouth and couldn't help but said: "Old lady, it's so delicious. Your cooking skills are getting better and better, and you are comparable to a chef."

"You girl is getting more and more talkative." Li Xiuju scolded in annoyance. Zhou Chenyu saw a smile on her face, so he still liked hearing it.

She has no other abilities, but she can praise others.

"What I'm telling you is the truth, why don't you let me tell it?"

"You girl." Li Xiuju smiled happily and quickly put it into their bowls. "You two siblings get up early and go out to sell things at dusk every day. Eat more quickly."

Li Xiuju was old and didn't eat much. After finishing a bowl of rice, she put down her chopsticks and sat aside to watch the children.

Zhou Chenyu didn't know whether it was because physical work required a lot of energy, so he ate too much, or he was no longer bothered by work, so he felt relaxed and fat, and his face always felt a lot rounder.She looked at the delicious food on the table and wanted to eat but was afraid of getting fat.

Li Xiuju laughed at her and said, "There is still plenty of rice in the pot. Go and eat it if you want."

When she said this, Zhou Chenyu held a small bowl and walked into the kitchen dejectedly and took another small spoonful to satisfy his craving. He solemnly swore: "That's all I will eat. After I finish eating, I will never eat again."

"Sister, it's rare for our family to eat meat. If we eat a few good dishes, we'll have enough." Baoyu quickly finished a large bowl of rice, looked at the dishes on the table, and turned around without hesitation to fill up another bowl. Bowl, "Mom, this chili fried pork is so delicious, can you make it more often in the future?"

"Okay, if you want to eat it, I'll cook it for you." Li Xiuju smiled kindly, calculated carefully, and said calmly: "Pork is delicious, but it's also expensive. It always costs a lot of money to eat. Wait a month After planting the seedlings, we will go to the market to catch a dozen chickens and ducks and raise them, and then we will kill one after a while and eat it in exchange for pork, until we have enough."

Zhou Chenyu nodded while eating, "That's okay, chicken is more delicious than pork."

The night sky outside the house flashed a few times, and Little Soybean waggled his tail and squatted at the door. With his round eyes open, he barked at the windy yard. The rumble of thunder followed one after another, and soon it poured rain. Heavy rain fell.

It was windy and rainy outside, and the three of them sat comfortably around an oil lamp, listening to the sound of raindrops, and the food in front of them tasted even more delicious.

With the lights on, tonight's meal was eaten more slowly and comfortably than usual.

Zhou Chenyu returned to the room after washing up. It was already very late.

During the shower, her hair was wet with water, and she could only sit by the window with her long hair loose. The rain was much lighter than before, and the humidity in the air carried a little fragrance of grass and soil. The frogs and toads in the pond in the distance were croaking. It kept croaking.

Zhou Chenyu lay on the table, the light fell on his eyes, "At this point before, I must have just finished working overtime and rushed to the subway. Now my life is so comfortable. It would be better if I could read a book, a cup of coffee, and some music. ”

Li Xiuju saw the light coming from the screen window when she got up at night. She walked to the door and asked. Huang Dou also barked twice, "Chen Yu, why aren't you sleeping yet? You have to get up early tomorrow. Don't be too late."

Like a primary school student who was discovered by his parents, Zhou Chenyu quickly blew out the oil lamp and climbed onto the bed, "Hey, I'm going to sleep now."

Li Xiuju saw that the lights in the room were all out and then left.

Since selling sugar water, Zhou Chenyu's insomnia symptoms have been cured. He falls asleep as soon as he touches the pillow and sleeps until dawn.

Li Xiuju got up early and not only cooked breakfast for them, but also steamed some steamed buns with vegetable fillings.

Zhou Chenyu and Baoyu got dressed, drank two bowls of thick and hot porridge with the leftover braised tofu and newly fried sweet potato leaves from last night, and then went out in the morning fog.

The wheels of the cart were spinning on the gravel road. It was still dark, and only the direction toward the east where the sun rose was white. The road ahead and the mountains in the distance were still dark, as if we were driving at night.

Having walked this road several times, it was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar. In addition, farmers were already cutting rice on the rice field side of the road, so Zhou Chenyu didn't feel scared at all.

After turning another mountain, the morning sun came out. It was different from the sparsely populated areas in the past. From a short distance away, you could see traders on their way, either pushing carts to transport goods, or carrying dustpans on poles.

Zhou Chenyu looked at them and said in surprise: "Hey, is today a market day?"
