Under Xu Youyou's careful care, the vegetables in the front garden are growing better and better.
Chili peppers, eggplants, tomatoes, beans and cowpeas are all hanging on the branches.
It would be too much for two people to finish, so Xu Youyou planned to pickle all these, so that in winter you can eat out-of-season vegetables.
Zhou Yao asked Zhou Yao to find the ceramic jars. Xu Youyou cleaned them, scalded them in hot water, dried them and set them aside for later use.
Using the unique secret recipe that her grandmother taught her, she picked the chili peppers, washed them, and made them into oily chili peppers and chopped chili sauce.
Eggplant and tomatoes are made into eggplant sauce and tomato sauce respectively.
Hang the cowpeas on bamboo poles in the garden to dry in the sun, so that they can be stored. If you want to eat them in winter, you can soak them in water, cut them into pieces and fry them with bacon, or stew them randomly.
Xu Youyou made the sour beans from the green beans. The sour beans can be eaten after about a week. Add some chili and fry them. The sour and spicy taste is very appetizing.
The bowl shelf made by Zhou Yao was originally empty, but now it is filled with Xu Youyou’s sauce.
When Zhou Yao came back, he saw that the home became more and more cozy under Xu Youyou's care.
He planned to make another bowl rack to put these things for his wife.
Zhou Yao started doing his carpentry work after dinner. Xu Youyou pulled out the withered vegetable stems in the front garden and planted them again with the help of Zhou's mother. Other vegetables in season.
Now in the morning, Xu Youyou will make some hand-rolled noodles, add her spicy oil, and sometimes stir-fry some hot and sour beans. When she mixes them, Zhou Yao's ears will move.
After eating one bowl, I still want another bowl.
He found that since he had a wife, his happiness index has skyrocketed.
On this day, Xu Youyou took advantage of Zhou Yao to go to work and went up the mountain to pick a lot of dates.
Xu Youyou was not greedy either. Although the jujube trees were full of red dates, she only picked a basket full before going back.
She felt that her luck was given by God, so she did not dare to be too greedy.
The greedy are always poor.
She must use this blessing given to her sparingly.
Sure enough, on Xu Youyou's way down the mountain, some bright red fruits on the roadside attracted her attention.
When I got closer, I realized it was ginseng!
Xu Youyou stuck her butt out and dug there for a while before digging them out.
That’s right, these are two ginsengs. One looks as big as two fingers, and the other is only as big as one finger. Judging from the age, they are quite old.
It grew on the roadside, and there were people who went up to the mountains to hunt on weekdays, but she was the only one who saw it.
Xu Youyou became more and more determined in his determinationThink about it, use your luck sparingly and don't be too greedy, so that you can enjoy the protection of luck for a long time.
After returning home, Xu Youyou put the two ginseng away and waited for Zhou Yao to come back to show him how to deal with them.
Then I went to the back garden to pick some corn and made a pot of red date corn cake with fresh red dates.
The remaining red dates were dried.
As soon as the red dates and corn cakes were made, mountains and rivers came.
Dashan came in first, and Dahe followed behind him with his short legs.
As soon as they arrived, they smelled the sweet smell coming from the second aunt’s house. It smelled so good!
The two little ones couldn't help but swallowed.
Seeing this, Xu Youyou brought two red date and corn cakes to the two of them.
"Eat, try the red date and corn cake made by Second Aunt. Is it delicious?"
"Thank you, Second Aunt!"
"Second Aunt Crab ! ”
The two looked at each other and politely thanked each other before taking the red date and corn cake.
The two of them smelled the red date corn cake in their hands before reluctantly eating it. The yellow corn cake was dotted with red dates and wrapped in corn leaves, so it was not hot to the touch. It’s not sticky and looks delicious.
Take a bite, the fragrance of corn and the sweetness of red dates fill your mouth, sweet and soft.
The little guys were so happy.
Their second aunt is so nice!
Now all the friends are envious of them for having a second aunt who is pretty, good at cooking, and the most important thing is that they are kind to them.
After Dahe finished eating, he licked his mouth again, looking at Xu Youyou with bright eyes, and blinking, his long eyelashes fluttering like two small fans.
Xu Youyou was so cute that she took two more red date and corn cakes from the pot and gave them to them.
"Here, eat another one!"

Dashan hurriedly took Dahe’s hand and waved to Xu Youyou.
"Second Aunt, we have enough."
When Dahe heard his brother's words, he reluctantly took back his little hand, while his eyes were still looking at the red date and corn cake in Xu Youyou's hand.
But Nai said that the second aunt was good to them, and it cost money to give them food. They had to say thank you, and they couldn't eat more.
No one’s food these days comes from strong winds, it is very precious.
Xu Youyou felt a little sour when she saw Dashan being too sensible.
What a sensible child. Why did you meet such a mother? She has not come back to see the two children until now.
"Take it and eat it. Second Aunt can still afford to treat you to an extra red date and corn cake.". "Xu Youyou stuffed the red date and corn cake into the hands of the two of them and smiled.
The two of them took it.
"Are you guys here to play with the second aunt? ? "
When Xu Youyou came down the mountain just now, he saw the mountains and rivers followed by a group of children cutting pigweed at the foot of the mountain.
If the pigweed is cut and given to the brigade, you can get some work points, or Take it home and feed it to the pigs.
In addition to having a small-scale pig farm, the Liangfeng Brigade also allows villagers to raise one pig per family.
Cutting pig grass is not casual. Any wild grass can be used. The grasses that pigs like to eat include dandelion, turfgrass, noodle greens, grass greens, gray grass, purslane, etc.
There are many people cutting pig grass, so pigs eat it. Grass is not easy to cut.
This is one of the reasons why Xu Youyou loves these two children.
Dashan and Dahe nodded heavily. , raised an innocent and lovely smile and said:
"Second Aunt, I saw my second uncle and my younger uncle catching fish in the river. Can you accompany us to take a look? "
Xu Youyou was confused: "Then why don't you go directly? "
Dashan shook his head: "Nai, dad, and second uncle all said that children are not allowed to play by the river. "
They had seen their uncle sneaking into the river to catch fish and being chased and beaten by his mother with a broom. The uncle covered his buttocks and howled all over the yard.
The two young men Just thinking about that scene, she subconsciously covered her butt.
Xu Youyou understood that she was afraid of being scolded by adults, so she asked her to take care of her, so that neither Zhou Yao nor Zhou's mother would be right. Brother Zhou doesn't know what Xu Youyou said, and with an adult like Xu Youyou watching, nothing will happen.
Xu Youyou chuckled and tapped his index finger twice. The person’s forehead: “What two clever little guys! "
"Let's go. You are not allowed to run to the river without my second aunt to take you with you. ”
“Well! "The two little people nodded obediently, and one of them took Xu Youyou's hand and went to the river.
Xu Youyou just wanted to try to see if her good fortune could be achieved by the river. Don’t be too surprised, just catch two or three fish.
The sun is hanging on the treetops, and people are getting ready to go home to cook. < /p>
The men bathing in the river also left one after another.
When Xu Youyou arrived, there were only three brothers, Zhou Yao, fishing in the river with their own fishing nets. < /p>
“Dad! ”
“Uncle! "
"Second uncle! "
"Did you catch a fish? "
Dashan and Dahe looked excitedly at the three people swimming in the river and shouted jumping up and down.
Zhou Yao turned around and saw his wifeHe was holding two children and standing on the shore.
The setting sun was like blood, and the warm glow was like a thin layer of golden gauze, gently covering her body.
Her figure was reflected on the river in the afterglow, looking particularly gentle and graceful, like a fairy from the sky falling into the mortal world.
The evening breeze blew by, and her black hair fluttered in the wind, intertwined with the glow, and settled on the silent river, forming a beautiful and moving picture.
At this moment, Xu Youyou was bathed in the glow of the setting sun, exuding an intoxicating and fascinating charm.
Zhou Yao seemed to see his wife holding her two children in her hands, laughing and watching him fish.
In astonishment, the fish in his hand took the opportunity to slip away.
"Second brother! Why are you so dazed? The fish is gone! The fish is gone! Oh, my fish!" Zhou Chen looked at the fish he had obtained and disappeared like this, with a look of distress on his face.
