Chapter 10 Yao Family
Ning Yue, sitting at the door, looked at Yao Jiayu busy in the dim kitchen. The eleven-year-old girl quickly used flint to ignite with flint. When there was a spark, she used dry grass to ignite it in the stove. She slowly used branches to ignite it. After the fire started, she used large firewood to ignite it. This way she could ignite it. Wash the big iron pot, put it in water, cover it with grass lid, and take out a small bowl of millet noodles (a kind of plant similar to wheat).
Pour the amaranth that can be ground into powder) into a large wooden basin, wash and cut the amaranth into finely crumbed foam and put it in a large pot. After the water boils, the amaranth is also blanched. Use a large colander made of bamboo to remove it and put it aside. (a bamboo product that can filter things, which is also used in modern rural areas). Let cool it. Scoop out the water in the pot and pour it out, pour in new water, and take out a clay from the wooden cabinet behind.
Open the pot, and took two handfuls of pickles made from unknown dishes, cut into finger-sized pieces. Put water in another small iron pot, put a partition in it, light the fire, beat the eggs that Aunt Yu had brought in a pottery bowl, stir it, and finally put a few pieces of salt, add a handful of flour and water, stir it for half a bowl, put it in a small pot, cover it with grass lid, steam it. The amaranth on the side is almost cold, put it in a large wooden basin and put it in a large wooden basin.
Stirring the needle, a large pot of amaranth and a small bowl of millet noodles, and finally pinched it into palm-sized pancakes on the edge of the pot. There were about twenty, and after about five or six minutes, they turned over and pasted. Both sides were golden. Remove all the fire in the stove and cover it with grass. The egg paste in the small pot was steamed for a while. Yao Jiayu opened the lid and looked at it, removed the firewood, wiped his hands out, and cooked the meal for less than an hour, and this was supper.
After a while, all the big and small families came back. Now I don’t know what month it was. Ning Yue sat there and wore three clothes and felt a little cold. They were basically wearing single-layer clothes and straw sandals. Everyone saw Ning Yue sitting there and walked over to see her. Ning Yue smiled at everyone, and the one who fetched water, washed her hands, and set the table. Li Niang and Yao Jiati looked at Ning Yue. Yao Jiati saw that her daughter was fine and hugged Ning Yue happily and turned around. Ning Yue was so scared that she screamed. Everyone thought she was happy, the tragic Yao Ningyue.
This was the first time Ning Yue had dinner with the Yao family. I saw grandpa and grandma sitting in front of the front door. The uncle's family was on the right, the second uncle's family was second, and the sister-in-law was on the left, and the Yao Ningyue's family was second. Supper was millet noodles and amaranth cakes, a pot of pickled vegetable soup, and the bowl of egg paste was placed in front of Ning Yue. Grandpa smiled and said, "Eat, eat, eat." He first picked up a cake and gave it to grandma, and then the uncle gave it to the uncle, two brothers,
The second uncle gave it to the second uncle and three brothers. Ning Yue's father gave one to his mother and one to her brother. Each one was a bowl of big or small, which was used to drink soup, but no one stared at Ning Yue's egg mug. Ning Yue thought, this is unscientific, shouldn't anyone be unhappy? Or is it the brother and younger brother's noise? In his previous life, he lived with such a big family, but there are many people, but there is a world of love?
What's wrong! But from beginning to end, they didn't have any emotion. On the contrary, the rules that the younger generation could only eat after the elderly took action were only found in the big family. The elders and the elderly in the family were also very abide by the rules. They only ate the food in front of them. Moreover, when guests came, women should not be with the same table or men were with each other. This kind of education is the most basic etiquette in the big family and it is also a manifestation of a family. I received such education in my grandmother's house for several years in my previous life, so that when I saw a guest at home in my previous life, I had to get up to greet him, pour tea, and send him to the door when I left, so that I would not let others go out empty-handed. This rule and etiquette in dealing with people were engraved in the bones and were educated and passed down. However, I saw Ning Yue here. I don't know if only the Yao family acted like this or that the people here were like this. The best family members in the novel did not see it but saw it, which made Ning Yue very confused.
Seeing everyone's food, Ning Yue really couldn't eat it. In any case, she was also an old Ruizi in her fifties. The hardship of this family made Ning Yue extremely uncomfortable, and she was also moved by the behavior of this family. Ning Yue felt a trance to see the days she had been at her grandmother's house when she was a child. Of course, her grandmother's house was a landlord. Although she was not delicacies, she was also fine grains, chicken, duck, fish and meat, and it would not be a problem like eating full here.
When Li Niang saw Ning Yue not eating, she asked softly: "Yue'er, why don't you eat? Eat it, just eat it, you'll be fine after eating it."
Ning Yue: "Mom, fall inside."
Li Niang: "Where do you fall?"
Ning Yue got up and poured the egg paste into the pickle soup. She was only two years old and had no strength to recover from the disease. She took a bowl and swayed. Li Niang quickly took the bowl and said, "Yue'er, you want to pour it there, don't mess around, I'm going to get angry."
Ning Yue pointed to the pickled vegetable soup with her hand. Grandma was about to scoop the soup and let the pancakes. Everyone looked at Ning Yue and Li Niang. Ning Yue's face turned red without hesitation. Although everyone could not see anything, they knew what they were like. This situation was particularly embarrassing. Yao Jiayu asked, "Yue'er, what do you mean to pour this egg batter into the soup?" Ning Yue nodded directly, and finally someone understood it. It was too difficult.
The whole family put down the vegetable pancakes, look at me, I look at you, Ning Yuezhi was nervous, lowered her head, and pretended to be dead! Grandpa: "Our Yueer is the treasure of the family. I know that my heart hurts everyone. I can't do it now, you are still sick, eat it, ah, you'll be fine after eating it, ah!" The old man wiped his face.
Looking at everyone's sincere faces, Ning Yue choked up for a moment. In order not to let everyone see her expression, she lowered her head and started eating the egg batter, but the egg batter was bitter.
