Chapter 23 Caused by a Bowl of Wild Vegetable Soup ([-])

"Okay, the vegetable soup is ready." Lin Guoxiang lifted the heavy wooden pot lid, and immediately a light vegetable fragrance wafted from the pot, and the small pot house was filled with aroma.

Wang Yuanzhi and Wang Yuanyue sniffed their noses hard, gulping down their saliva because of the smell, and stretched their necks to look eagerly at the green wild vegetable soup with egg flowers floating in the pot.

"Go ask your father to come over for dinner." Lin Guoxiang patted Wang Yuanzhi's small head and ordered, "Yue'er, go fetch a basin of water and wash your hands."

"Oh——" Wang Yuanzhi and Wang Yuanyue went out obediently, and after a while, Wang Yuanzhi's crisp voice came from the yard: "Father, mother told you to eat!"

When Lin Guoxiang heard Wang Yuanzhi's shout, the corner of her mouth couldn't help twitching, and the hand holding the knife to slap Garlic also paused, the knife in her hand almost touched her own fingers.No matter how you hear this damn child, it makes people feel extremely ambiguous.

It feels weird, as if there is a caterpillar crawling on my body, hairy.

Lin Guoxiang shivered uncomfortably, and then she took the knife to slap Garlic once she regained her composure.

When Xiucai and the two children came in after washing their hands, Lin Guoxiang had already prepared the bitter vegetables with cold salad. She put the bitter vegetables with cold salad on the small table and asked, "Have you washed your hands yet?"

"Washed!" Wang Yuanzhi and Wang Yuanyue replied loudly in unison, and they spread their little hands up and down for Lin Guoxiang to check, "Look, mother, I've been washed clean."

"Mine too, I washed it too."

"Oh, then let's eat." Lin Guoxiang filled a bowl of vegetable soup for each of the two children, which was full of wild vegetables and egg flowers.

Seeing that Lin Guoxiang conjured up four porcelain bowls like a magic trick, Xiucai found it a bit inconceivable. Didn't she smash all the bowls at home in the morning? Why are there still four?

Lin Guoxiang saw what the scholar was thinking, so she said, "All the bowls smashed this morning are broken, but these four bowls are new, so I found them and used them."

When Xiucai heard that it was a new bowl, his eyelids jumped. Could this bowl be... for relatives who came to the house, right?If the old lady knew that Lin Guoxiang brought out a new bowl to use, she would probably have to make a fuss...

"This bowl..." Xiucai just started talking when she saw Lin Guoxiang's face turned cloudy, so she swallowed the words very tactfully.Forget it, just use it, and besides these new bowls, there are no other bowls for serving rice at home. If the old lady wants to make a fuss, let her make a fuss. As long as there is no blood, I don’t care about anything else.

The scholar thought helplessly in his heart.

"Mother, this dish is really delicious!" Wang Yuanzhi praised immediately after taking a bite of the dish.

"The soup is delicious too!" Wang Yuanyue immediately added.

Lin Guoxiang praised the two children's words. She smiled and looked at the cheerful appearance of the two children gobbling up, and said: "Eat more of the delicious ones, there are still in the pot."

Xiucai also took a sip, and nodded in agreement. It tastes really good.He didn't expect wild vegetable soup to be so delicious. Although it lacks oil and salt, it is many times more delicious than Cui's boiled vegetables, and the unique fragrance of wild vegetables also enhances the soup. less taste.

Xiucai thought of Cui Shi who had moved to his eldest brother's house, so she said to Lin Guoxiang, "Guoxiang, let's serve a bowl to the old lady too." Afraid that Lin Guoxiang would have an idea, he quickly added, " I think this soup is delicious, so let the old lady try it, besides, isn't she sick now..."

Lin Guoxiang would be lying if she said she was very happy when she heard Xiucai's proposal, but she just frowned slightly and didn't say anything. If someone wants to be filial to one's mother, it is called filial piety, and if she obstructs it, it is inhumane Injustice, besides, it's just a bowl of wild vegetable soup, and the old woman won't lose much if she eats it, and she won't lose a piece of meat.

Although she thought so in her heart, she still felt very uncomfortable. Why should she take the wild vegetables that the two children had painstakingly dug up the mountain to give to the old woman who didn't know where her mind was?

But Lin Guoxiang didn't seem to have any position to disagree with, after all, she still occupies the status of his daughter-in-law.

Xiucai could see Lin Guoxiang's reluctance, but he didn't say anything, just looked at her, waiting for her reply.

After going like this for two seconds, Lin Guoxiang was annoyed by the look, frowned and said, "Look what I'm doing, isn't it just a bowl of wild vegetable soup, if you want to give it away, just send it yourself." After finishing speaking, she deliberately bluffed Facing Wang Yuanzhi and Wang Yuanyue, who were listening to them with their ears pricked up, they said, "Hurry up and eat, and I have to go up the mountain to find out if there is anything else to eat later, or I will be hungry at night."

The implication of Lin Guoxiang's words is, I want to send it to you, don't come to harm these two children.Another meaning is that there is only one bowl, and there are no more.

Xiucai got Lin Guoxiang's consent, so she didn't care if there were thorns in her words. She happily filled a bowl of wild vegetable soup and specially put some egg flowers in the bowl, and gave it to Cui Shi happily. side over.

Lin Guoxiang watched Xiucai go out, feeling stuck in her heart, unable to go up or down, it was extremely uncomfortable.Damn, it would be nice to agree with you to send soup to the old woman. You also took away all the egg flowers. You didn't have much and didn't want to save some for the two children. Your old lady is a relative and everything else is here. Passers-by at home?
"Mother, why don't you eat it?" Wang Yuanzhi pushed the bowl towards Lin Guoxiang, "Mother, you eat too."

"You guys eat, leave me alone." Lin Guoxiang touched the heads of Wang Yuanzhi and Wang Yuanyue, a soft light flashed in her eyes, "I'll have the energy to help my mother dig wild vegetables after I'm full."

"Mother, my brother and I are going to dig a lot of wild vegetables and come back later." Wang Yuanyue opened his arms and made an infinite movement, and his cute appearance amused Lin Guoxiang, "Okay, I'll let you dig them later. A lot of wild vegetables come back, and then we will dry them and make dumplings for winter."

"Oh, you can eat dumplings!" Wang Yuanzhi was also happy. He remembered that the last time he ate dumplings seemed to be during the Chinese New Year. He only ate one meal. He and his younger brother added together before his grandma just ate. One and a half bowls, and it was because the old man was eating together that he gave half a bowl more.As for the rest that grandma secretly gave to the three cousins ​​of the uncle's family to eat, that brat Wang Yuansan was still picky, thinking about it made him angry.

Thinking of Cui Shi, Wang Yuanzhi's heart was extremely unbalanced: "Mother, grandma must be reluctant to eat the wild vegetable soup that father brought this time, and in the end, that brat Wang Yuansan must have eaten it all."

When Wang Yuansan was mentioned, Wang Yuanyue also had a look of displeasure, which showed how much the two brothers hated Wang Yuansan.

Lin Guoxiang felt that Xiucai was not as clear as a child like Wang Yuanzhi, but although she quite agreed with what he said, she couldn't nod her head in agreement. After all, he was still a child, so she couldn't teach him badly.

So Lin Guoxiang scolded with a straight face: "Zhi'er, don't say such things in the future, do you hear me?" After finishing speaking, she felt that her tone was too strong, so her tone softened again, and patiently explained , "Grandma is not her, after all, she is an elder, but you, as a junior, can't say such things. If someone hears it, you will be scolded with pokes on your spine."

Lin Guoxiang thought that Wang Yuanzhi could still understand what she said. Although he was only ten years old now, children in ancient times matured relatively early, and ten years old was considered a little man.

"Grandma, what she wants to do is her own business. We just need to do our best as juniors. As for who she likes to eat that wild vegetable soup, that's her freedom, you know?"

"Well, I see." Wang Yuanzhi nodded half-understood, and Wang Yuanyue also nodded half-understood, Lin Guoxiang was amused by her cute appearance, and she gave the two children another serving A bowl of wild vegetable soup, "Okay, let's eat quickly, you need to eat more to grow up."
