Chapter 189: Yan's Return Monthly Pass)(1/2)
"Sister, please send me two tea eggs as soon as possible!"
The fourth young man was in the middle of the line, so anxious that he jumped straight into his feet. He worked all morning and was really hungry, especially after seeing other children eating and smacking his lips hard.
Liu Jinfeng also held back her smile: "The fourth and fifth brothers, you are in the house, so I'll keep it for you."
The little brother-in-law shook his hair hard: "No, this is what I deserve for my labor!"
What you said makes sense. Liu Qingshan also felt that the spirit of the fourth brother is worth encouraging. If you work hard, you should gain something, so he also helped to distribute tea eggs.
It was divided quickly, and I finished eating one of the fastest ones. As for the remaining ones, I must be reluctant to eat them.
When the kids were all gone, Liu Jinfeng also took out a tea egg from the pot. She had been busy for so long, but she hadn't tasted it yet.
After taking a bite of the elastic egg white, Liu Jinfeng's eyes immediately narrowed.
I just feel that my mouth is filled with the fragrance of tea and the aroma of other seasonings is really no worse than meat.
When Liu Qingshan went out in the morning, he put the tea eggs in the pot and asked his elder sister to help take care of him.
In fact, it is just to use a spoon to smash the egg shells, and then add some firewood to the stove pit every now and then.
Unexpectedly, the tea eggs cooked like this taste so good.
"It's delicious, and if you sell tea eggs, it will definitely be popular."
Liu Jinfeng ate a tea egg and began to praise her younger brother.
"That's, if you sell tea eggs near the city station, you might be able to sell a household that costs tens of thousands of yuan."
Liu Qingshan remembers a popular saying later: Those who make atomic bombs are worse than those who sell tea eggs.
At a certain stage, this sentence can really reflect the current social situation at that time.
The fourth brother ate two tea eggs in one go, and was still a little unsatisfied.
Just as I was thinking about whether to have another one, Shan Xing suddenly cheered:
"Oh, our little swallow is back!"
After hearing what she said, everyone noticed that there was indeed a pair of swallows on the clothesline made of iron wire.
They were combing their feathers with their small mouths, and they didn't know when they flew back.
Liu Qingshan touched the watermelon head of Shan Apricot: "Our Shan Apricot is the most careful in our family."
Shan Xing felt a little embarrassed to praise her, and the little old lady also looked up at her little head, and she also cheered:
"Wow, another pair of swallows came, and we're building a nest under our house eaves!"
With this shout, she called both grandma and Lin Zhi and stood in the yard with a smile.
According to local rural areas, swallows are auspicious birds, and they are not built under the eaves of any house. They are all selected for harmonious and happy families.
Therefore, it is considered a good sign that anyone who has a swallow nest is built.
Even if the cats are kept at home, they will train their cats to the point of being honest and dare not harm the swallows.
The little baby at home was warned by adults early on that he could not hurt the swallows, such as poking bird's nests and blinding them.
It is precisely because of this that swallows can live in harmony with humans.
At this time, Yang Hongying also finished washing up and came to the courtyard from her grandfather's house. When she saw the swallows building their nests, she was also stunning.
I saw two swallows flying around, holding small mud balls in their mouths, and a tiny grass stick was wrapped in the mud balls.
But don’t look at this little grass stick, it can increase the pulling force of bird’s nest and be more sturdy and durable.
When people wiping mud walls, they have to mix wheat roe or broken grass into the mud, which is probably learned from swallows.
Small mud balls were stuck to the wall by the swallows, and slowly formed into a bird's nest in the shape of a small bowl, and then they could have children inside.
This bird's nest is their home.
"Little Swallow has worked so hard."
The little old lady muttered.
"They built their own home must be very warm."
Yang Hongying seemed to be inspired.
Liu Jinfeng poked Gao Wenxue beside him: "We should build a house too."
Gao Wenxue carried the little fire out to bask in the sun. After hearing his wife's words, he nodded vigorously.
Liu Qingshan also sang softly: "Yanyan is flying, and his son is returning..."
Yang Hongying was stunned when he heard this. These were sentences in the Book of Songs. Unexpectedly, Sanfeng still understood this.
"I underestimate people. The reason why swallows are loved by people is because in ancient times, people regarded them as their married daughters."
Liu Qingshan saw the meaning of the sister's eyes, so he prepared to talk about it:
"Swallows come in spring, just like a married daughter returning to her parents' home. Think about it, of course, your daughter should be treated well."
"So that's how it is."
The little old lady slapped her face and then looked at her elder sister Liu Jinfeng: "Hey, sister, why are you still living at home when you get married?"
You little damn, Liu Jinfeng smiled and poked her forehead gently.
Liu Qingshan also smiled at Yang Hongying: "Sister, when you get married in the future, we will definitely treat you well when you go home."
"Sanfeng, your ears are itchy, right?"
Yang Hongying's pretty face turned slightly red, and she was trying to come over and twist Liu Qingshan's ears.
Liu Qingshan waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't make trouble, don't scare Xiaoyanzi. Xiaoyanzi saw that this family is not good, and the chickens quarrel and goose fight all day long. Let's go to other people's nests to build a nest."
Although he knew he was full of silence, Yang Hongying stopped and continued to watch Yan Zi build a nest.
The little old lady suddenly had a whim: "Did these two little swallows in new nests give birth to the big swallow last year?"
It's true, one of them is likely to be true.
I have to say that children’s ideas are sometimes so strange.
The little brother-in-law who received praise also smiled: "This swallow is like our family, with grandparents, and the swallows will be hatched in the future, just like a small fire, a harmonious and warm family, hehe."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but smile. Isn't this what each of them hoped for?
During lunch, everyone tasted one of the remaining tea eggs, and everyone was clamoring and delicious.
My mother Linzhi said with a smile: "When it's May Day, you'll cook tea eggs."
In the afternoon, Liu Qingshan led his children to continue picking morels.
The things I picked back in the morning have been put in the yard for drying, and old people like Guaizi Grandpa and the Third Grandma are guarding each other.
In the sun and the spring breeze, the food dried out in this natural state will definitely taste better than those dried by machine.
Because after being bathed in the sun, the dried vegetables are soul-stirring.
This is really not a nonsense. Take bracken as an example. The difference between drying in the sun and drying on the kang is absolutely very big.
The dried bracken tastes very tender after being watered; the dried bracken on the kang tastes more tiring.
Some things are so magical.
The picking army ended early. When they returned to the village, a few kids asked: "Brother Qingshan, is there any reward?"
Liu Qingshan smiled and rubbed their little heads: "Wait for next Sunday."
The children cheered and then dispersed.
Liu Qingshan decided to form a rule: as long as the children participate in labor, whether it is planting trees or collecting them, they will be given a small reward.
Isn’t it just tea eggs? The one you will definitely lack the most in the future is eggs.
When Liu Qingshan and the others returned home, they heard the chirping under the eaves and the quarrels were quarrels.
The little old four had sharp eyes and shouted: "Swallow is fighting with the thief in his hometown!"
The thief in my hometown is a sparrow.
Because sparrows like to flock nests in the turtle houses on the top of Fangshan, they fly away when they see people, so they are called thieves in their hometown.
How come this fight?
Liu Qingshan is not biased and is all birds. He can’t discriminate just because his hometown has a bad reputation.
Shanxing is usually careful and pointed to the bird's nest under the eaves and said:
"In winter, I saw sparrows living in bird's nest."
So that's it, everyone quickly figured out: the thieves in their hometown can't build nests. In winter, swallows fly away, and they occupy the bird's nest.
Now that the swallows are back, the thief in their hometown wants to continue to occupy the bird's nest, but the little swallows are angry, and then the war breaks out.
This war can be called the "war of defense of home".
All of them, including Liu Qingshan, immediately stood on Yanzi's side.
Originally, it was a home built up by people who made up mud and asked you to live for a free winter. It would be desirable if you didn’t charge your rent.
