Chapter 94 When is the return date?
Yingbao and her two younger brothers did not attend Sister Dani's engagement party.
Yuanbao Huzi didn't go either, and only Erni went with Dani.
Today happened to be the school's holiday. While her parents were not at home, Yingbao took out a basket of leeks from the cave and prepared to pack a leek box.
I originally wanted to make pork and leek dumplings, but no one went to town to buy meat.
Even if she bought the meat, she couldn't mince it, so it would be easier to make leek and egg boxes.
After mixing the noodles, ladle out the water and wash the leeks, drain the water and chop them into pieces. Then spread out a piece of egg skin, chop them into pieces and mix them with the chopped leeks. The next step is to roll out the dough and wrap it in the box.
Yuanbao and Huzi were playing in the yard with their two little brothers, while little Yingbao was struggling to pack the leek box alone.
After wrapping, you still have to cook the pancakes over low heat.
As soon as they had baked a few pieces, four boys ran in, each picked them up and ate them. They didn't care that the box of leeks was half-cooked, and kept praising how delicious they were.
Yingbao:......
Well, it was actually her first time baking a leek box, so she was inexperienced, so one side of the box was burnt and the other side was not yet cooked.
It's hard for the four children not to dislike it, each one takes one and eats it deliciously.
The second pot was much better. Although it was still a bit mushy, it was at least cooked and could barely be eaten.
As a result, the second pot was also taken away and eaten by four imps.
Ying Bao was speechless, but also very happy, because those battered cakes were not a waste.
By the third pot, the box of leeks was cooked perfectly, and Yingbao picked up a piece and ate it.
Not bad, not bad. My craftsmanship is really good. It’s not blurry at all. It’s almost the same as my grandma’s.
"Yingbao, are you at home?"
A warm voice came from outside the yard.
Ying Bao immediately ran to open the courtyard door and saw Wen Shu and Wen Hengyin walking in.
Four skin monkeys also ran over to greet Wen Hengyin, each of them had a black mouth.
Wen Hengyin was surprised and asked Huzi: "What did you eat?" It turned out like this.
Huzi: "Do you want to try the leek box made by Yingbao? It's delicious."
"No!" Wen Hengyin shook his head repeatedly. He doesn't want to eat anything dark.
Yingbao brought Sister Wen into the kitchen and listened to her talk while making pancakes.
"Yingbao, I'm here to say goodbye to you. Mom will take us to Fucheng tomorrow and we won't come back until March next year." Wen Shu sat down on the small stool.
Ying Bao was a little worried after hearing this.
Because this time happened to be the time when something happened to the Wen family, she didn't want Sister Wen to leave.
"Sister Wen, can you please not leave?" Ying Bao removed the fire and walked out from behind the stove.
Wen Shu stirred the handkerchief in his hand and sighed: "There has been no news from my father for more than a month. My mother and I are very worried. We went to Fucheng to find out what happened in Yuzhou."
Ying Bao frowned, "Don't you know how to write a letter to ask your relatives?"
She was afraid that once Sister Wen left, it would be difficult for her to see her again.
Wen Shu shook his head: "Aniang said that instead of waiting, it would be better to go to Fucheng to have a look. There is a lot of information there, unlike the small mountain villages that are closed off. You can know some news about anything."
"Then, can you and Mrs. Wen really come back next March?" Yingbao asked.
Wen Shu nodded, "No matter what, we will come back."
Ying Bao scratched her head, unable to think of any way to help Sister Wen.
Their gold-grade golden ear and snow ear were all bought by Mrs. Wen, so they didn't need their Wuding Zhi.
After hesitating for a long time, he said seriously: "Sister Wen, I had a bad dream a while ago. I dreamed that your home was ransacked and you and your brother were separated... Don't laugh, my dream is the most effective. You and your husband will never be together." Be careful."
Wen Shu put away her smile and looked thoughtful. "I will tell my mother-in-law when I get back and ask her to interpret your dream."
"Yeah." Apart from saying this, Ying Bao couldn't think of any other good ideas.
Wen Shu left with his younger brother, and before leaving, he left several medical books he brought with him to Ying Bao, "During the days when my mother and I are away, you should read the books carefully and write down anything you don't understand. When my mother and I come back, Answer for you.”
Yingbao nodded, hugged Sister Wen, and whispered: "Sister Wen, you must take care of yourself and your brother. In my dream, you and your brother were separated."
She wasn't afraid whether such words would make Wen Shu unhappy, so she said it all in one go. "You never found him again for many years."
Wen Shu was startled and touched Ying Bao's head. He was not displeased. "Thank you Ying Bao for reminding me. I will keep an eye on him and not let him run around."
After the Wen Shu siblings left, Ying Bao finished baking the leek box in a depressed manner, and then sat on the bench in a daze.
She suddenly remembered that she hadn't dreamed about that book in her dream for a long time, and she didn't know how Chen Zhao and Chen Tiantian would end.
Early the next morning, Yingbao rode Youyou and ran to see off Mrs. Wen, only to find that the school door was locked and they had left, even the spiral was taken away.
Ying Bao stood at the door feeling sad for a long time before she went home sadly.
Since she didn't have to go to school, Yingbao proposed to live in her new home in Nanpo.
As soon as Chun Niang and her husband came together, they decided that the whole family would move to Nanpo.
It is the twelfth lunar month of winter, and there is no need to do any work in the fields. It is the slack season, so everyone in the village has nothing to do.
On sunny days, men in the village would sit under the south wall to bask in the sun and talk about the mountains. Some would take off their cotton-padded clothes and turn them over to catch lice.
Women also gathered together with a sewing basket and gossiped.
Jiang Sanlang first used a mule cart to carry some bedding and clothes to the south slope, followed by daily necessities, and then pulled people.
Yingbao rode Youyou and ran to the south slope early to clean up the house.
The house on the south slope has a large yard, but it feels a bit empty and cold when you first move in.
But here it is open, has a good view, and there are not many houses, so you can catch birds and hunt in the snow, and you can also let Youyou go out and run by yourself without anyone having to run around. After running around for a while, she will go home on her own.
When Jiang Erlang saw that his third brother's family had moved to the south slope, he simply took his children and moved into their new home. He cut some bamboo every day to make bamboo stools, and weaved a few bamboo plaques for later use.
Old Man Jiang has lived on Nanpo for a long time, where he and his two grandsons watch over their grain reserves and feed two fat pigs.
A month has passed in a flash, and the New Year will be celebrated in just a few days.
One day, the peaceful mountain village suddenly became unstable because a small number of the soldiers who were drafted last year returned, and all of them were disabled.
"My son, what's wrong with you? Why is your leg so injured?"
Tang, the patriarch’s second wife, hugged her son who was lying on the stretcher and cried bitterly.
"Dalang, go to the town and ask the doctor to show your brother." Upon seeing this, the patriarch immediately ordered his eldest son.
Seeing that his brother was miserable and unhappy, Chen Da took a car and went to the town to invite Mr. Li.
After seeing it, Langzhong Li shook his head and said to the patriarch: "My son is in a bad condition. His right thigh has become necrotic and the toxins in the rotten flesh have flowed into his body. I'm afraid it's not easy to treat."
When Tang heard this, she fainted.
The younger daughter-in-law quickly pinched her mother-in-law's middle and then pinched her mouth.
Seeing this, Mr. Li quickly pried open Tang's mouth and stuffed a piece of ginseng slice under her tongue.
