In the book, the female supporting role dreams of being an idle fish

Chapter 106 Oat Noodles

It's almost at the knee now.

Although my second brother is the one who waters the fields every day.

But if the seedlings are not good, there is no point in watering the land.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiu no longer thought about these meaningless things. She just needed to remember the kindness of her brother and sister-in-law.

Wait until they have a baby.

Just lead it yourself like you lead Huaixi.

And there's no point thinking about it now.

Gu Lixia was not going to be his stepmother, after all, he was already grown up.

Moreover, the couple has already expressed their position that they will not allow him to go to the countryside.

What you say comes out in a spit.

It will definitely not change.

Then Jiang Xiu felt at ease.

Watch the sun rise higher and higher.

Jiang Wen went down and caught the gosling.

Jiang Huaixi and Jiang Xiu used branches to drive away the geese.

Jiang Wen followed behind.

Gu Lixia had already stopped playing the song.

They felt the sun down there.

Gu Lixia was sheltered by trees, so it wasn't that hot.

Since we are going home, the whole family should go back together.

After returning, the two older ones still hadn't come back to play ball.

Ever since I bought this ball.

After the two learned to kick.

I would go out to play football twice a day, morning and afternoon.

In fact, Jiang Huaixi had thought about going, but his two brothers refused to take him with them.

Go home and drive the geese to the goose house first.

Gu Lixia and Jiang Wen went to the kitchen.

Jiang Xiu returned to the house.

Gu Lixia scraped out the pulp of the three watermelons with a spoon and put them in a large bowl.

Cut the watermelon into shreds and make a cold dish with just salt and vinegar.

The grapes were also washed and placed on a large plate.

The main thing is that in this weather, it can’t be preserved.

Better to eat first.

When it came to cooking, Jiang Wen was stumped.

Because I don’t know what to cook.

It's just like what I eat every day.

Gu Lixia saw him standing at the stove for a long time without moving. So she said, "How about some oat noodle soup?"

"I'm not very good at it." Jiang Wen was a little embarrassed.

There are so many things that I can’t do.

Gu Lixia believes that this kind of thing is normal when information is not well developed.

What's more, in this era, household chores are basically handled by women. "It's not difficult, I can do it, we can do it together. You knead the dough, you have strong hands and can knead it quickly. Once you've kneaded it, I'll call Xiu'er to help us. Otherwise, it will be difficult to knead the dough when it gets cold."

This thing has a meaning, it is said to be a reward for relatives, friends and guests.

A beautiful symbol of solidity and harmony.

Whenever an elder celebrates his birthday or a child reaches one month old, every family will prepare this.

In some villages, the bride and groom also eat it when they get married, which means that the couple will live together until old age. They also eat it at the end of the year, hoping that the whole family will be harmonious and prosperous.

Besides, wasn’t there a proverb like this circulating in the past?

It is said that 30 li of oat noodles, 40 li of cakes, and ten li of buckwheat noodles will make you starve to death. This means that people can walk 30 li after eating oat noodles, but can only walk 10 li after eating buckwheat noodles.

Pour the oatmeal into a bowl, add an appropriate amount of white flour and mix well, then pour in boiling water, stir while pouring water, and knead it into several small dough pieces while it is hot. Roll them one by one on a cutting knife into cat tongue shape slices, ten centimeters long and five centimeters thick.

Gu Lixia went to call Jiang Xiu, and Jiang Huaixi also came over. Gu Lixia and Jiang Wen were the main force in making oat noodles.

Jiang Xiu rubbed the watermelon while feeding it to her nephew.

Roll up your right hand, place it on your second thumb, and roll it into a small curl with a hollow center.

Stand upright in the steamer.

Place them in order.

Put on the heat and steam for ten minutes.

Dice the potatoes, tomatoes, and chop the onions, garlic, and chilies.

Heat oil in a pan.

When it is almost cooked, add the previously steamed oat noodles and stir-fry.

Okay, time to eat.

Gu Lixia is not someone who likes to spoil children.

I feel that I should let them know what to do and when.

He stopped Jiang Xiu who was about to go out to call his nephew.

Each of the four people took a bowl.

Eat up.

Gu Lixia saw Jiang Xiu take a bite and then look outside the yard, and thought it would be better to calm the child down.

"They'll eat whenever they come back. We won't deny them food. If it gets cold by then, we'll let them fend for themselves. We did eat a little early today, though."

"But, it's their own fault for not going home because they wanted to play. Of course, if you're willing to help them all the time, you can. But I have no obligation to always accommodate anyone, including Jiang Wen."

Jiang Wen actually knew what Gu Lixia meant.

Eating this oat noodle soup can actually be considered an improvement in life.

And all the children, big and small, in the family compound know that Sunday is the day when the family’s life improves.

It is normal for both of them to be playful and want to play for a while longer, after all, they are still children.

But we can't indulge ourselves either.

The principles that should be taught must be taught.

Like before, Jiang Xiu and Jiang Huainan never came back after school, the reason was very simple.

One is that there is no one home when I get home.

Another thing is that I can finish my homework quickly at school.

Because after returning home, Jiang Xiu became a person with a lively look in his eyes.

If I come back directly with homework, I won’t have time to do it.

Later, Jiang's father suggested that Jiang Xiu do her homework at school and wait for her second brother to pick her up before she could go home.

Then Jiang Xiu developed that habit.

Later, Jiang Huainan went to school and naturally followed Jiang Xiu's habits.

Now it seems that it needs to be changed in the future.

"Xiu'er, think about it carefully. You are the oldest student in our family. Go pick up Huainan and Huaibei after school and come back early. Don't stay in school."

"School is not like before, with me by your side. You still have two little ones to take care of. It's safer to go home first. Of course, if I have to work the night shift, I will pick you up."

Jiang Xiu was still listening to her sister-in-law, but suddenly her second brother interrupted her and said that she was not allowed to do her homework at school.

Jiang Xiu thought about it and realized that it was true.

Huainan is now willing to go into the kitchen to work.

It will definitely be faster when two people do it together.

Like in summer, when the days are long and the nights are short.

If I have a lot of homework, I can finish it by the time my second brother and sister-in-law get off work.

Even if I can’t finish writing, my second brother and sister-in-law can cook, so they can do it.

My second sister-in-law’s cooking skills are better than mine.

As expected, he has been working on the stove since he was three years old. At the age of 20, he has been a chef for 17 years.

Jiang Xiu nodded.

Each person ate a bowl of buckwheat noodles, and another person scooped up a bowl of steamer water and drank it, using the original soup to make the original food.

Although I don’t know where this rumor came from, it has been practiced since ancient times.

So Gu Lixia still believes this sentence.

After dinner, Jiang Huaixi finally felt sleepy.

I can't even open my eyes.

Just at this moment, Jiang Huainan and Jiang Huaibei ran in, scaring Jiang Huaixi.

Jiang Huaixi's sleep was disturbed, and his mouth pursed as if he wanted to howl.
