pastoral fragrance

Chapter 49
It was almost noon when Qiulin and the others entered Han's Village.I saw curling green smoke rising from all over the village, it seemed that everyone was busy making food.

As soon as everyone arrived at the gate of Han Dong's courtyard, Qiu He jumped out of the bullock cart and ran into the courtyard, shouting, "Grandma, grandma, we're here to see you."

Immediately afterwards, a tall and burly middle-aged man opened the door and came out of the house. It was Han Dong.

"Hey, it turns out that the eldest sister is here. Mother is talking about it. Come in quickly." He walked over, touched Qiuhe's small head, and then went to help Qiusong.

"You came as soon as you came, what else do you bring? What about the elder brother-in-law, is he at home alone?" Han Dong asked questions as soon as he came up.

Before Han could answer, she saw an old man staggering out of the open door, wearing a big gray padded jacket and leaning on a pear wood walking stick.His face was as thin as a palm, his eyes were swollen, as if he had been soaked in water, the wrinkles on his face were deep and obvious, and his hair was full of silver.

Seeing the old woman, Han's nose turned sour, and tears fell down.She staggered to the old woman in two or three steps, unable to say a word, only the tears seemed to flow unstoppable.

The old woman has the same appearance as Han's, and she has been crying like a tearful person.She stretched out her hand to hug Han Shi in her arms, and said in a trembling voice: "Fang'er, my Fang'er, you have suffered, my daughter..." Han Shi hugged the old woman and cried bitterly, unable to stop, It seems that all the sadness and grievances of this year will flow out with these tears.

Han Dong moved all his things into the house, and when he came out, he brought a basin of wash water, "Hurry up and wipe your face, it's New Year's Eve, don't hear crying."

Qiulin looked at the old man carefully from the side, he must be his grandmother.Although she is old-fashioned, but there is charity in her brows, and she is not that weird old lady.All of a sudden, Qiulin had a good impression of this old woman.

"Grandma." She leaned in front of the old woman and called delicately, looking innocent and cute.

Qiulin's grandmother in her previous life was patriarchal, so naturally she would not like the daughter born to her daughter.So before Qiulin came, he was very worried about meeting the weird old woman.But when she saw her grandma like this, Qiulin's heart fell to the ground.This grandma is definitely not like the grandma in her previous life.

"Hey, Ah Lin, I haven't seen you for a year, and I've grown taller. I'm gone now, do you miss grandma?" Yang looked at the elf-like granddaughter in front of her, and was so happy that she wanted to reach out to hug Qiulin. in the bosom.However, my body is weak, and I would be tired and out of breath after walking a few steps, so I had no choice but to give up.He took out a dozen or so copper coins from the purse tied around his waist, "Here, take it. Buy candy dice with your brothers and sisters."

"Go, mother, it's windy here, let's go inside." Han Shi has gradually stopped crying at this moment, and helped Yang Shi walk into the house, and Han Dong also came to help.

Qiu Lin wanted to follow her into the house, but she didn't want to be grabbed by the sleeves of her clothes by a little girl who was her age. "Cousin Lin, your floral padded jacket is really pretty."

That girl has a cute appearance, her brows are full of water, her eyes are big and energetic, and her pink face is very attractive.That is simply a cute little lolita.

Qiulin looked at the little girl carved in pink and jade in front of her, but she panicked a little. Where did this girl come from, and what's her name?But if she calls herself cousin, then she is her cousin.Qiulin only replied in general: "Cousin, the longer I haven't seen you for a year, the more beautiful I am."

"Xiao Luo, do you miss my cousin? My cousin misses you!" Qiuyue joyfully picked up Han Yiluo, thinking that this girl is getting more and more radiant the longer she grows, her skin is as tender as a peeled lychee, which is very enviable up.

That Xiao Luo was born delicate and sweet, and her every move could melt people's hearts.Her small mouth pecked at Qiuyue's face, making Qiuyue lean forward and back with a smile, this girl is so cute.

It was only later that Qiulin found out that Han Yiluo was the youngest daughter of the third uncle's family, because the first two were boys, and the third uncle and third aunt, who were so annoyed by the kid, wanted a daughter very much, so after Han Yiluo was born, she was taken by The family members felt pain in their palms.Her elder brother and second brother are called Han Yichen and Han Yiqiao respectively, the eldest is 12 years old and the elder is 20 years old, and the third eldest Han Yiluo is now seven years old, half a year older than Qiulin.Qiulin really couldn't stand that such a cute and cute little girl still called her sister.It seems that she has to pretend to be tender.

The uncle's family has only two sons, the eldest son Han Yiming is now 14 years old, and the second son Han Yimo is now 12 years old.Both of them are studying in private schools in the village, and they are calm and introverted.

There is only one daughter in the whole family, and the two families regard Han Yiluo as their sweetheart!
After hearing this, Qiulin couldn't help complaining that he didn't know that rare things could finally defeat patriarchy.Fortunately, they have two daughters and two sons.

After Qiulin had a rest for a while, it was time to eat.Qiuyue also went to the stove to help serve dishes and bowls, and the third uncle was busy setting up the round table.There are quite a lot of people today, so we have to sit at two tables.So a table was set up in the main room, and then another table was set up in the east wing.The adults sat in the main room, and the children sat in the east wing.

The bowls and chopsticks were put on the table, and one after another carefully cooked delicacies were also put on the table one after another.Looking at the table full of delicious food, Qiulin couldn't help twitching her index finger.Counting the past, there are braised carp, Kung Pao chicken, sour radish duck, fried chicken drumsticks, braised beef, mutton bowls, glutinous rice balls, steamed sausages, steamed meat with rice flour, vinegared cabbage, and a bowl of stewed trotters and lotus root soup.

These dishes are hard for ordinary people to see, and they are considered excellent.

It can be seen that the first aunt and the third aunt know how to cook, and the beans are so delicious in color and fragrance that people can't help drooling.

When everyone was about to start, they heard the sound of talking from outside the house. Because of the distance, Qiulin couldn't hear it clearly.Immediately afterwards, I saw the eldest aunt Ye entered the east wing with two chairs in her hand.Joyfully said: "Xiaomei and Mu Wen are here, please go in and sit down."

After a while, I saw two little children, a boy and a girl, enter the house. The boy was about seven or eight years old, and the daughter was about five years old.They are all cute.

These are the sons and daughters of the fourth son of the Han family.

A few years ago, my aunt married the son of a grocery store in the town next door, and she usually only returned to her natal home at this time of the Chinese New Year.The whole family can only get together during the Chinese New Year. Both adults and children are very happy.

"This duck meat is really unpalatable!" Before everyone moved their chopsticks for a long time, they only heard a slightly disgusted voice from a boy at the table.

Qiu Lin was happily gnawing on the chicken legs, when she heard this, she suddenly raised her head, and saw Mu Wenru's picturesque eyebrows were slightly frowned, and her fair face looked very impatient and obviously disgusted.Qiulin lowered his head calmly, he is really spoiled, the good food that this farmer usually can't eat, but it becomes hard to swallow when it comes to him!

Tang Muwen threw the piece of duck meat on the table in disgust, took a bite of the rice, and began to mutter again, "This kind of rice, why is it so rough, it really sucks!" He spat out the rice again .

At this moment, the children on the table frowned.This person is born as a young master, is he so particular about feelings?
The boys were silently picking up the rice, but Qiuyue was rude, "Oh, our cousin Mu Wen is the young master, so he is so picky?"

Tang Muwen puffed up his cheeks, "It's unpalatable!"

Tang Xiaomei explained kindly from the side: "My brother is right. When we make pig's trotters at home, we will drain the oil so that it won't look greasy. This duck is greasy but less seasoning, and the steamed pork is too oily. It's dry, the glutinous rice balls are too rough..." Tang Xiaomei rubbed her fingers like a treasure.All in all, all in all, to sum up Tang Xiaomei's words, this meal is too bad!

Qiuyue was so angry that a five-year-old girl was picky like this, and she didn't know how to avoid it. She was really well-bred!I really don't know how this little aunt raises her children, such a temperament is not pleasing at all!
"But Kung Pao Chicken is delicious." Tang Xiaomei stretched out her chopsticks to pick up the chicken, and began to eat it slowly.

Tang Muwen raised his head proudly, and grabbed Kung Pao Chicken with his sister.Although these two people are young, they eat very fast, and they only pick the diced chicken inside.After a while, a plate of Kung Pao chicken was consumed by them.Everyone was dumbfounded.

Han Yiluo saw that a plate of Kung Pao Chicken hadn't been snatched up, so she opened her mouth unceremoniously and began to cry, with a mouthful of white rice rolling onto the table.You must know that she is the most popular at home. When eating on weekdays, the four elder brothers will give her the delicious food first, not to mention the parents, grandma and uncle.

But when the aunt's two cousins ​​came, they snatched away her favorite Kung Pao Chicken.As if a child was about to lose the favor of an adult suddenly, Han Yiluo felt her heart was flustered, and she opened her mouth to cry.

The adults in the main room were eating happily, but suddenly they heard crying in the east wing.Parents are always the most sensitive to the cries of their daughters.The third aunt Liang quickly put down the bowls and chopsticks, and hurried to the east wing.

Seeing that it was her precious daughter whom she kept in her mouth for fear of melting, the one who was having a severe seizure right now, Liang could only feel that her heart was strongly affected by Han Yiluo's crying, as if her heart was about to break .She hugged the crying Han Yiluo in her arms, and while flusteredly touching her tears, she asked cautiously: "Xiaoluo, Xiaoluo, why are you crying? Did the elder brothers not let you, let you go?" Wronged?"

Han Yiluo was still crying loudly, the voice really made Qiulin ashamed.Shouldn't the little loli be crying pitifully, pear blossoms with rain?Why did this cousin roar when she burst into tears?At this time, Qiulin was already terrified by the thunder.

Under Liang's laborious consolation, Han Yiluo's crying finally weakened.Only then did she want everyone to tell the truth about her crying bitterly. "They ate up all the diced chicken... woo woo..."
