Dad's Pastoral Life

Chapter 503 Mom, when will I get married? (Mid-Autumn plus more)

After Cheng Shi got married, the Mid-Autumn Festival was over, and the bustle of the time gradually turned into a dull one.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Bai Qian's father is almost ready to go back. Living with his daughter and son-in-law for such a long time is equivalent to taking such a long vacation. He has had enough fun and must go back to be his own. thing.

Before he left, Cheng He said that the dates in the yard were edible, so he knocked them down and ate them before leaving.

Make a fresh picture.

Cheng Xinxin's Mid-Autumn Festival holiday was not over yet, so she was also helping out at home, helping to beat dates.

Cheng He set up a large net under the jujube tree, about ten centimeters high from the ground, to ensure that the fallen dates would not be broken. Cheng Xinxin followed on the ground to pick them up. When she saw some very red ones, she put them on her clothes. Rub it, stuff it in your mouth.

Bai Qian sat aside and laughed at her: "Xinxin, don't eat too much, you won't be able to eat the steamed buns after a while."

This is the first time Bai Qian has heard of jujube buns.She had eaten jujube cake before, but it seemed to be worse than the jujube bun Cheng He described.

The jujube paste is made of sun-dried red dates, and the taste seems to be a little worse than that of fresh red dates.

Fresh red dates are fragrant, fragrant and sweet, and the steamed dates are very strong, and it is even sweeter to eat.Bai Qian has been fooled for several months, and her longing has become an obsession in her heart, she just hopes that the fresh dates will be ripe, so she can taste them.

It was expected by her.

Cheng He held a long bamboo pole, and when he saw that the jujube was red, he knocked it, and the jujube fell off and fell on the net on the ground.

There were also those that popped out immediately, fell to the ground, or hit Cheng Xinxin on the head with a "boom".

She runs fast now, pops out the ones that fall on the ground, and quickly runs to pick them up. When she sees the red ones, she stuffs them into her mouth, and throws the non-red ones back onto the net.

Seeing that the jujubes in the net were almost enough, they looked like two or three catties, which was almost enough, Cheng He didn't continue to knock, and the rest of the dates that were not red, just stayed on the tree and continued to grow.

Cheng Xin didn't understand. While eating the dates, she asked in a milky voice, "Dad, why did you use a net to pick them up?"

Cheng He put the jujube-cracking pole aside and said, "Use a net to keep the jujubes from falling on the ground and breaking."

"What will happen if it breaks?" She continued to ask with her eyes wide open.

"If it's broken, you can't eat it. If you don't let it sit for a long time, it will go bad, so you have to throw it away." Cheng He replied patiently.

"Oh." Cheng Xinxin groaned, and continued to eat her dates.

Baji, baji, it's sweet.

Two or three catties of jujubes were knocked out, all fresh, and they were taken to the well to be washed and put in a basket to filter the water.

Bai Qian also took a few to eat, and asked, "Then what should I do next?"

"Next, knead the dough, ferment it, then chop the dates, put them in, and steam them together," Cheng He said.

This area belongs to the southern region and does not mainly eat pasta, but there are also some pasta recipes, not many, but it is not absolutely not to eat.

For example, noodles, dumplings, pancakes, etc., sometimes I also eat some.

The usual staple food and snacks are mainly rice products, but there will also be some pasta, which is also a habit handed down from the past.

The per capita land here is not too much. Like when there were many children in the past, half-children ate poor old people, and pure rice was not enough to eat, so they would supplement some pasta, sweet potatoes and so on.

So some pasta, sweet potato rice and other recipes have also been handed down.

In the past, it was to supplement the lack of food, but now it is completely to change the taste. Eating the same thing every day will make people bored, but changing the taste is fresh.

When the Sophora japonica flowers bloomed this spring, Cheng He even made Sophora japonica cakes for Cheng Xinxin, and the little girl ate them deliciously.

Bai Qian saw that Cheng He was going to knead the flour, so she helped to cut the red dates, remove the seeds from the dates, and cut the dates into smaller pieces so that they would not be difficult to knead in the steamed buns. Cut everything and eat it by the way.

Cheng He saw that she was doing things as delicately as embroidery, and said, "It doesn't need to be so delicate, just pat it with the back of a knife."

"No, I'm going to cut it up, cut it better, the jujube juice is everywhere, it's wasted when it's gone," Bai Qian said.

Cheng He shook his head with a smile, and said, "I didn't expect that you are still a living person, and you are afraid of wasting! Don't worry, there are so many dates on the tree, there are still more to waste."

Almost every family here is planting jujube trees. In autumn, every jujube tree is covered with red patches, and the jujube trees are bent, unable to eat, and rotten on the tree.

Some people simply knock them down and dry them to eat dried red dates. A tree can bear a lot.

Bai Qian pouted and said, "No, I like to eat jujubes, so I don't want to waste them. I will cut them slowly. Leave me alone."

"Okay, okay, don't care about you, just cut slowly." Cheng He said.

There was nothing interesting about Cheng He's kneading the dough, so Cheng Xinxin went to stick to Bai Qian's side, and when she finished cutting the jujubes, she stretched out her small hand to grab a handful and put it in her mouth.

It's delicious if it's cut up. The dates have all been removed, so you can just chew them.

"Is it sweet?" Bai Qian asked with a smile seeing her eating.

"Sweet, so sweet." Cheng Xinxin replied seriously, and grabbed another handful.

Seeing her appearance, Bai Qian hurriedly said, "Keep your hands away from my knife, be careful that I will cut your hand, it will bleed, do you hear me?"

"Okay." Cheng Xinxin agreed, but just stuck here and refused to leave.

The dates here are all chopped, you can eat whatever you want, how wonderful, she just leaned on the table, standing on one foot, and dangling the other foot.

Thinking of one thing, she asked, "Mom, when will I get married?"

Bai Qian stopped cutting the dates abruptly, and asked, "What did you say?"

Because the little guy's mouth was full of dates, his speech was slurred, and what she said was too weird, Bai Qian couldn't believe her ears for a while.

Cheng Xinxin swallowed the dates in her mouth, and asked again clearly: "Mom, when will I get married?"

Bai Qian didn't know what to say for a while, she looked at Cheng He blankly, and Cheng He was naturally dumbfounded when he heard this sentence.

This child, who told her such a thing?

Bai Qian didn't blame her, but still asked with a gentle face: "Why do you ask that?"

Before she had figured things out, she couldn't rashly start reprimanding her.

Cheng Xinxin said: "Uncle Cheng Shi's new aunt wears very beautiful clothes. I also want to get married and wear beautiful clothes."

Bai Qian breathed a sigh of relief and understood what was going on.

When Cheng Shi got married that day, he rented a convoy of luxurious wedding cars, and when he returned with the bride, he carried the bride all the way home.

Then Cheng Xinxin exclaimed, "Her clothes are so beautiful."

Bai Qian told her that she was the new aunt of Uncle Cheng Shi's family, and she would see her every day in the future.

Cheng Xinxin asked, does the new aunt wear such a beautiful dress every day?Bai Qian said, no, her beautiful clothes can only be worn when she gets married.

Two or three days had passed, Bai Qian almost forgot these few words, but Cheng Xinxin suddenly said, when will she get married!
She just wants to wear such a beautiful new dress!
Bai Qian rubbed her head with a smile, and said, "You can only get married and wear such beautiful new clothes when you grow up."

Cheng Xinxin ate the dates and asked, "Then when will I grow up?"

"Wait... When your mother gets old, you will grow up, right?"

"Mom, when will you be old?"

Bai Qian: "..."

I want to cry so much!

When Cheng He said that, the little girl would say that it doesn't matter if she is younger than her father.

Now that it is under my own name, she asks herself when she will be old!
The treatment is much worse!
Bai Qian looked at Cheng He with a face full of tears.

Cheng He took a sympathetic look at her and said, "That's because you can't coax her. You said buy her a beautiful dress that a child can wear, and she will like you."

Bai Qian said firmly: "I will not use this method to curry favor with her!"
