Dad's Pastoral Life

Chapter 396 Learning to Cook

Cheng Xinxin put on her flowered hat, ran out in a hurry, and was about to go outside, holding her mother's hand.

Cheng He said: "Why don't you go? You just recovered, and you don't rush to work for a while. It's hot, you rest, and I'll get it back in a few moments."

Well, after all, she grew up in a family like the Bai family. If her father knew that she actually had to go to the field to pick vegetables, she wouldn't be so distressed.

They were all people with daughters, and he knew how it felt.

Bai Qian turned around lightly, pretending to be a maid and said: "You don't need to worry about such small things, I will go back when I go to my slave's house, and make soup for my master."

Cheng He couldn't help smiling.She is still the same, she has not changed at all, she looks gentle and gentle, but from time to time she speaks some weird words.

Cheng Xinxin laughed when she heard the weird tone.

Cheng He said: "Then if you want to go, go early. After a while, the sun will be high, and it will be very sunny. Xiaoqian, don't you wear a hat? You wear it with your heart."

Bai Qian is now very interested in the farm work in the field. Since she was able to walk, every time she goes to the field, she wants to cook this dish or that dish.

Although she doesn't have much cooking skills, but looking at the rich content of her vegetable field, she always has various ideas.

So, today she has to get some food by herself, and make something for Cheng He and the child to taste.

Having owed them years of love, she couldn't wait to give more.

She is still looking forward to picking vegetables from the fields.It may be her little happiness to be able to cook some meals for her husband and children, right?
Seeing that Cheng Xinxin was also wearing a hat, she wanted to match her attire, so Bai Qian said, "Then I'll wear a hat too."

She quickly tied her long hair into a ponytail, then took off a straw hat from the wall, put it on her head, and turned around and said, "Honey, we're leaving."

Cheng He smiled and waved his hands: "Go, don't dawdle, the sun is getting higher and higher."

Cheng Xinxin felt that her mother's words were very interesting, so she followed her mother's voice and said, "Honey, we're leaving!"

Cheng He was drinking water, and a sip of water was spouted out suddenly. This guy likes to learn his tongue when he is fine.

Bai Qian said: "Xinxin, only I can call you husband, you can't, you know?"

"why?"

"Because he is my husband."

"But he's my father."

"Yes, so you can only call Dad."

"Then why are you calling me husband?"

"Because...because he is my husband..."

The two had already walked out of the yard, and they could vaguely hear two voices, one big and one small. Cheng He smiled helplessly while wiping the water sprayed on his clothes.

In the future, there may be more laughter in this small courtyard.

……

Cheng He continued to lie in the small courtyard, the breeze was so comfortable that he even squinted his eyes.

It's hot in summer, but it's still cool in the morning and evening, especially sitting under the shade of a tree with the breeze blowing, and the cicadas haven't croaked yet, so it's really very comfortable.

Cheng He sighed in his heart, he was really about to become a master now, and he assigned a maid and child to go to the field to get vegetables, and he sat under the tree leisurely blowing the wind, he couldn't bear to think about it.

Alas, the fly in the ointment is that there is no maid to help hammer the legs.

It didn't take long before Bai Qian and Cheng Xinxin's voices were heard.

The vegetable field itself is not far away, if you just get some vegetables, you can come back soon.

The little girl saw her little friend, and immediately showed off her new hairstyle loudly: "Look, sister, this is the hair my mother combed for me."

Cheng He could almost imagine the scene where the little girl took off her hat with one hand and showed off to others.Alas, she didn't even think about it, wouldn't someone else's mother comb someone else's hair?
Perhaps for her, having her mother to help comb her hair is a rare thing.

The hair that Bai Qian helped her comb today is a bit special, with many braids, very cute, maybe Cheng step-sister's mother is impatient to help her comb such a complicated hairstyle.

Bai Qian walked with her, feeling a little embarrassed, and then greeted Cheng Ximei's adult: "You are having breakfast..."

Well, the polite Mandarin made others feel embarrassed. I was sitting on the threshold to eat, so I quickly stood up and greeted her: "Yes, yes, we are having breakfast. How about you? Have you eaten yet?"

"I've eaten." Bai Qian replied very politely.

Then, Cheng Xinxin added with a grimace, "I've eaten it long ago, our family has already eaten it."

Looking at the little girl, Cheng Ximei's grandma smiled and said, "Xinxin, let's have some meatballs after eating, meatballs, they are delicious."

So, the little girl who had just shown off to others couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food, so she quickly ran over and ate a meatball with her mouth open.

Bai Qian immediately said, "Xinxin, you have to say thank you."

"Thank you." Cheng Xinxin said inarticulately while chewing.

In mountain villages, people don't talk about politeness so much. Cheng Xinxin's thank you really made everyone feel embarrassed: "It's okay, it's not worth thanking. A bite of meatball is not a good thing."

Cheng Xinxin took a bite of other people's meatballs, then giggled and helped her mother carry the vegetable basket, and they went home together.

Cheng He got up quickly and continued, "Is it heavy? Don't make so many dishes, you can't even lift them. Your body is just right."

Bai Qian wiped the sweat from her forehead casually, and said, "It's not heavy, it's nothing. The doctor told me to exercise more to promote muscle growth. Don't be so nervous."

Then put an arm around Cheng Xinxin, and said: "This girl will help me with things, she followed me to carry her back."

Cheng He thought about the last time this girl insisted on helping him carry the vegetable basket, and then he bent down and carried it all the way with her, which was far more tiring than carrying it by himself, and said: "Well, yes, the food she ate is already a bit useful .”

They can all help.

Cheng Xinxin felt that she had been praised, so she said proudly, "I've gained strength after eating, so of course it's useful."

Hearing her immature words, Cheng He smiled and said, "Yes, it's useful, then you should eat more."

"Okay. I want to eat a lot, as much as a cow." Cheng Xin replied heartily.

Cheng He scratched her little nose lightly, and said, "You mean to eat so many snails?"

Cheng Xinxin thought of the snail last time, and was immediately hit by the joke again, giggling non-stop.

At this time, Bai Qian picked out the vegetables she brought back from the field today one by one.There are some red tomatoes, a few purple potatoes, and a bunch of green vegetables that have never been seen before.

Bai Qian pointed to the purple potato with a layer of mud and said, "My husband, let me tell you, at first I didn't know it was a potato, but Xinxin told me. Do you think it's funny?"

She had only seen yellow potatoes, but not purple ones.

That's why she likes farm work!She didn't know many dishes, which felt very fresh.

Moreover, the vegetables in the field grow very well, and you can eat them when you pick them off. You don't need to go to the market to buy them. I can't believe that these are my own vegetables.

Of course, the point of this sentence is: This is what the daughter taught her.There was a lot of complacency in that voice.

Your own children can teach themselves things too!

Then I felt a little heartbroken when I thought about it, how much of her growth period I missed!
From now on, she will accompany her every day to make up for all the regrets of the past.

Cheng Xinxin also proudly told her father: "Hahaha... Mom doesn't know if these are potatoes or I told her..."

For a moment, I really felt that I was really amazing.

Cheng He gave her a thumbs up and said, "Baby is amazing!"

Cheng Xinxin giggled.She often goes to work in the fields with her father. She used to admit mistakes, but now she basically knows everything.

Bai Qian took the picked vegetables to the well and was about to fetch water. Cheng He asked, "What are you doing?"

"I... I'm washing vegetables." Bai Qian stopped fetching water, turned her head and said.

At this time, she was puzzled, thinking to herself, she saw Cheng He fetching water from the well in the same way, is it wrong?

Nothing wrong, right?

Cheng He said: "Didn't we just have breakfast? Let's do it after lunch."

"I... Then I'll wash the dishes first." Bai Qian said.

She feels that cooking is a huge project and takes a long time, so it takes a long time to prepare.She's not that good at cooking, especially since she's been sick for a few years and hasn't been able to move, so she hasn't learned much.

Cheng He said, "Then I'll fetch water."

He fetched a basin of water, and Bai Qian put the newly picked tomatoes into the water, and said strangely: "Hey, it's still floating."

Then, she stretched out her finger and pressed it one by one. It was very interesting to watch the tomato sink and immediately float up again.

Cheng He smiled and said, "You're still young."

Cheng Xinxin ran over, took a tomato from the basin, put it in her mouth, and said, "I'm still young. Dad, I'm the youngest."

Cheng He said: "Yes, you are the youngest. Is this tomato sweet? Come, Dad, take a bite."

Cheng Xinxin immediately put the tomato to his mouth and said, "It's very sweet and fragrant."

This is a wine-red tomato, darker than ordinary, small in size, very fresh, and not many people grow it.

Cheng He tasted it himself and thought it was good.

He asked Bai Qian: "You picked so many tomatoes, what are you going to do? What kind of food are you going to cook?"

Today is the day for Bai Qian to cook by herself, she made an agreement early in the morning.She said: You have to learn to be the daughter-in-law of the Cheng family, learn to cook, and learn to be a competent mother.

So, she picked so many tomatoes, it was up to her to arrange.

She said confidently, "I'm going to make stewed beef brisket with tomatoes."

I went to the town to buy the beef yesterday, but I didn't finish it, and there is still a large piece in the refrigerator.

Cheng He smiled: "Yo ho, you still want to challenge the difficult one?"

This is not a small dish, and it cannot be cooked casually.She couldn't even make scrambled eggs with tomatoes, so she thought about braised beef brisket with tomatoes?

Bai Qian said: "It doesn't matter, I have already watched the video tutorial. If it doesn't work, isn't there you?"

"That's fine, I'll watch you do it. It's up to you whether our family can have lunch today." Cheng He said with a smile.

"Don't make fun of me. I really want to learn. By the way, husband, let me ask you, when I was picking vegetables just now, I heard other people singing folk songs. I think it sounds good. You can teach me." Bai Qian said with a smile.

"I don't know which song you are talking about, how can I teach it?" Cheng He shook his head, his daughter-in-law was very curious.
