farmer's wife

Chapter 19 Waiting
Fu Yan fetched chicken legs and mushrooms and made chicken shredded noodles.

The noodles are soft and springy, and the chicken soup is mixed with the fresh fragrance of mushrooms.Xiao Jian gulped down contentedly, and accidentally held on.

Seeing Ah Jian lying on the chair with her slightly bulging belly, Fu Yan couldn't laugh or cry.

"You should restrain yourself from eating, and stop when you feel full. Eating too much will make you uncomfortable and bad for your stomach."

"Sister-in-law's cooking is so delicious, Ah Jian couldn't hold back. I will remember what sister-in-law said, and I will pay attention to it next time." Xiao Jian blushed in embarrassment.

Fu Yan rubbed his belly for him, and said: "Ah Jian just remembers, but Ah Jian is still growing, so she should tell sister-in-law in time when she is hungry, and she will cook other delicious food for you."

Children grow up and have weak intestines and stomachs. They don't eat much in one meal, but they are also hungry quickly, so they can eat less and more meals.

Fu Yan: "Lie down for a while, wait for my sister-in-law to pack up, and go out with you for a walk to digest food."

Xiao Jian couldn't bear to speak, nodded, and obediently leaned on the chair to rest.

When Fu Yan came out after washing her hands, she led Xiao Jian and went out for a stroll.

At noon, the sun was a little bit brighter.

The smoke from cooking in the village is curling up, and the food is fragrant.Occasionally, I met a few villagers on the road, and they hurriedly said hello and rushed home for dinner.

Village head Sun Changgeng came back from the field with a hoe on his shoulder and saw them from a distance, "Ah Jian, Fu Yan, have you eaten yet? Where are you going?"

Xiao Jian obediently called out: "Uncle Village Chief."

Sun Changgeng: "Hey! Good boy. Have you eaten yet? Do you want to go home with the village head and uncle?"

Fu Yan: "Uncle Sun, we've eaten, let's go for a walk to digest food."

"Sure, then go back early, the sun is scorching at noon." Sun Changgeng rubbed the little baby's head and said.

"I'll be back here."

When they went home, Fu Yan put Xiao Jian to take a nap first, and went back to her room to squat for a while.After waking up, she took the embroidery frame to the eaves and continued to embroider.

"I don't know what brother Alie had for lunch today. There seems to be something in the kitchen... Is he hungry?" While embroidering, Fu Yan couldn't help but think of Xiao Lie.

The two of them had been getting tired of being together for the past few days, and Xiao Lie suddenly left, and she was still a little uncomfortable.

Distracted while embroidering and thinking, she accidentally pricked her finger with a thin needle, "Hiss..." Fu Yan stopped the needle, shook her finger, sucked, and pressed hard on the small wound to stop the bleeding.

Shaking her head, Fu Yan picked up the embroidery frame again and concentrated on embroidery.

"Sister-in-law..." Xiao Jian came out after waking up, rubbing the corners of her eyes.

"Ah Jian is awake, come and sit down."

Fu Yan put down the embroidered cloth, pulled Xiao Jian to sit down, and got up to wash a face towel by herself.

After wiping her face with a face towel soaked in cold water, Xiao Jian finally regained her senses, "Sister-in-law, are we still learning to write?"

The child was lying on her lap, looking at her with dark round eyes, eager to study, Fu Yan couldn't bear to refuse him.

"Okay, but my sister-in-law is going to take a test on A Jian, have you remembered the words in the morning?"

"I remember, my sister-in-law is here, and I'll write it for you." Xiao Jian took Fu Yan to the jujube tree, picked up the branch again, and wrote "Xiao" crookedly but without any mistakes.

"Our A-Jian is really smart. Let's learn the word 'Jian' this afternoon, A-Jian's name."

Xiao Jian: "Okay! I'm going to learn my name today, and I'll write it for my brother when he comes back."

The two sat back under the jujube tree and continued with the morning's work. One practiced calligraphy and the other embroidered.

Seeing that Xiao Xiao was almost succinct, Fu Yan continued to teach him how to write the character "Lie".

The sun is slanting to the west, and the orange-yellow afterglow of the setting sun covers the small courtyard, like a dazzling cloak for a dedicated child.

Fu Yan estimated the time, it was almost Shenzheng (4:[-] p.m.), and Xiao Lie would be back soon, after all, it is difficult to walk in the mountains at night.

Putting down the embroidery in her hand, Fu Yan quietly got up and left without disturbing Xiao Jian who was still practicing.

She went to the kitchen to look for it first, and the meat and vegetables at home were almost consumed, only some pork was left, and half a piece of pheasant and mushrooms that were brought back from the mountain before.

Fu Yan first poured oil into the seasoning, fried the processed chicken, waited for a few minutes and then poured in a large bowl of water, preparing to cook the chicken soup for a long time.Put a handful of firewood in the stove and let it simmer slowly.

Finding the usual vegetable basket from under the small kitchen table, Fu Yan took it to the back vegetable garden, carefully selected, and picked three or four lettuces and cucumbers.

Xiao Lie had replanted small green vegetables, wax gourd, loofah and the like before, and he had to wait for them to grow again.

Shred the meat and marinate for a while; blanch the sliced ​​lettuce in boiling water, pick it up and let it dry.Stir-fry the seasonings in the pan, pour in the marinated shredded pork, wait for the shredded meat to change color, then add the lettuce and stir-fry together.Finally, add a little soy sauce and salt to enhance the taste and color.

Cucumbers were made into a cold dish by Fu Yan——patted cucumbers, a little heavy salt, and some chili peppers, mixed them and put them on the table behind him.

The fried meat with lettuce came out, and Fu Yan put a bamboo steaming rack in the soup pot, and then put the vegetable bowl on the rack to keep warm with the soup.

After washing the pot where the vegetables were cooked, Fu Yan quickly washed the rice and cooked it.

After a lot of work, two dishes and one soup plus white rice, the simple and rich farm dinner is ready, waiting for its male owner to come back and enjoy it together.

Fu Yan wiped the sweat from her forehead when she was busy, washed her hands and came out, Xiao Jian was carrying the small stools back to the living room one by one.

"Sister-in-law, I put your embroidery basket on the table in the east room."

"Thanks for your hard work, Ah Jian, are you hungry?" Fu Yan leaned against the door frame, beat her waist and asked with a smile.

"I'll wait for my brother to come back." Putting back all the stools, Xiao Jian ran to Fu Yan.

Fu Yan looked up and saw that the sun had completely set in the west. Although it was not completely dark yet, there was a crescent moon in the eastern sky.

"It's getting dark, and your brother will probably be back soon." Fu Yan waved at him, "Come here, first help my sister-in-law taste the taste, and see if the cucumbers mixed today are tasty."

After receiving Fu Yan and handing him a pair of chopsticks, Xiao Jian picked up a slice of cucumber and chewed it slowly, "Hiss..."

Fu Yan: "What? Is it spicy?"

Xiao Jian quickly chewed and swallowed: "No, no, only a little bit of spicy taste, just right. I... I want to eat two more slices, okay?"

"Here, you eat." Fu Yan pushed the bowl in front of him.

The two were talking when the wooden door of the courtyard was pushed open.

Holding the prey in one hand and the longbow in the other, Xiao Lie strode in, "What good food is Ah Jian eating?"

"Brother!!" Xiao Jian threw down her chopsticks, ran towards Xiao Lie quickly, hugged her brother's thigh and rubbed it.

Fu Yan also immediately came out to meet him, reaching out to take the longbow from Xiao Lie's hand.

"Why did you come back? It's getting dark!" Fu Yan complained.

If one ignores her involuntarily upturned lips and her peach-blossom eyes that reveal joy after bending, then maybe it is the real complaint...
