Chapter 242 241 What to eat, go on TV
Wang Yuan boiled a pot of water on the stove, and soon his nose started to buzz.
I made a bowl of brown sugar water for Li Yan. The latter held the bowl and blew on it until it was no longer hot, then drank it in small sips.
"It's so sweet~ It tastes so good. I remember when I was a kid, I could only drink brown sugar water during festivals."
Li Yan seemed to think of what she looked like when she was a child - a little girl wearing tattered clothes and drinking brown sugar water in large gulps.
Xiaotingzi interrupted her memory: "Mom, give me a sip, just one sip."
"You little thing, you want to taste everything, but it's a bit hot~"
Li Yan wanted to give the little girl a sip, but thinking that children's meat was tender, the hot water that adults could drink might be too hot for children, so in the end she used chopsticks to put some sugar water on the little girl's tongue.
"Sweet!"
The little girl's eyes were bright and she clamored for more drink, so Li Yan gave her a few more taps.
"I feel like I'm getting more and more squeamish. I heard from my mother that she was still working in the fields when she was eight or nine months pregnant with me, and in the end she gave birth directly to me in a hollow.
This was not the case when I was pregnant with Xiao Tingzi. Now I feel like my head is sore and my whole body can’t feel energetic.”
"Aren't the conditions now much better than then?" Wang Yuan replied, but he felt that Li Yan's words were somewhat true. It was not good to lie on the kang all the time, so he suggested that she let her come down and do some exercise.
Just as Wang Yuan was helping Li Yan around the house, the dog in the yard suddenly started barking. It turned out to be Zhang Qian from next door.
"Go, go, you disgusting guy, I've been here so many times and you still don't recognize me."
Zhang Qian has neat short hair, a headscarf on her head, a blue cloth coat, black cloth trousers, and self-made cloth shoes, all dressed up like a rural woman.
After scolding the dogs with a smile, she entered the house. It turned out that she had brought a bag of cut cakes that she had made.
"Made with glutinous rice and jujube, I started cooking it last night...it's still steaming hot right after it comes out of the pot."
Zhang Qian opened her pocket, and the cut cake with red dates mixed with white sticky rice appeared in front of her eyes. A little bit of heat wafted around, and a sweet smell hit her face.
"Cut... cake?"
It was when Xiaotingzi was curious about everything, like a little kitten, that he held the edge of the cabinet with both hands and stood on tiptoes to look up.
"Xiaoqian, what a coincidence. How did you do this?"
"Just wash the rice, put a layer of dates on it and then a layer of rice, wrap it tightly and compact it, put it in a pot and steam it over high heat..."
Because Li Yan often gave Zhang Qian the ducks, salted duck eggs, etc. brought back from her parents' home, Zhang Qian felt sorry for her and gave some things to Wang Yuan's family.
It's a matter of courtesy.
Bang~
Suddenly there was a sound on the door. Wang Yuan took a look and found that a fat white cat squeezed in through the crack of the door, meowed and ran towards the inner room.
"It definitely smells good."
"This big white cat looks really good. She runs around every day. That day when I came back from haying, I saw her in the southwest of the village." Zhang Qian also said:
"I was lying on the pile of bricks at Aunt Yue's house. She was so irritated when I called her and ignored me."
In an instant, Wang Yuan and Li Yan both laughed.
Scratch the big white cat's chin. The big white cat likes others to scratch her chin. She stretches her neck forward and snores happily.
"Hululu~"
"Meow~"
"Aunt Yue's family brought so many bricks to build a new house, right?" Li Yan asked.
Zhang Qian said:
"Yes, isn't her second son planning to marry someone? Her old home has seven or eight rooms, which is quite a lot anyway. Originally, it was planned to set aside a few rooms for the young couple to live in, but the woman's
Bian'er disagrees."
"Oh, that's what happened. No, her family built a new house when the eldest son got married. Why not let the eldest son and daughter-in-law live with the old man?"
Li Yan felt that she often went to Aunt Yue'er's house to play, but she didn't know much about Aunt Yue'er's family.
"If you build a house for your eldest son but not for your younger son, no wonder the woman doesn't agree."
"It's different. Chengzi built the apartment by himself. He plastered the walls, put up the beams, and fixed the stove... The mess was all made by Chengzi who asked his brothers to fix it. His brothers organized a team to build the house.
Taking jobs everywhere.”
After chatting leisurely about home affairs, it was soon noon.
Zhang Qian went home to cook, and Wang Yuan also started cooking.
"Yanzi, do you want to eat flying dragon meat? Can I stew two flying dragons for you?"
"Okay, you can stew it, and I'll eat whatever you cook."
At noon, he stewed two dragons and prepared two vegetarian dishes. Finally, Wang Yuan thought about it and cut half a catty of pig head meat.
Li Yan had no appetite and ate half a steamed bun in one meal. She also didn't eat a few pieces of Feilong meat. In the end, most of the Feilong meat was eaten by Wang Yuan.
"It smells so good. This flying dragon meat is so tender." Wang Yuan pulled out a piece of reed stick from the mat and used it to pick his teeth. He felt that he was really happy when he could eat flying dragons whenever he wanted.
"Pfft~"
Li Yan lightly hammered his arm: "I think you just want to eat Feilong yourself. You said it was stewed for me, but I didn't even take two bites."
"That's what I'm saying...Who are you to blame if you don't blame yourself? I didn't cover your mouth to prevent you from eating. What do you want to eat tonight? How about braised pork? I haven't eaten it for a long time."
"Then let's make braised pork."
In the evening, I was eating braised pork while watching the news on the provincial station. Soon I began to report the news about Secretary Sun’s inspection of the breeding farm in Baiwu Township.
"Swallow, look, look, the camera is going to focus on me."
"Hmm, look at it."
Soon the camera focused on Wang Yuan. Wang Yuan was explaining the situation of raising deer on behalf of the farmer. He was very photogenic with a strong body and a dignified appearance. The confidence between his eyebrows made people very fond of him.
In fact, most people like sunshine and are confident people. Of course, confidence is not arrogance.
"Oh~ the photo looks pretty good."
"That's right, don't look at who I am. They can't even speak completely in front of Secretary Sun, but I'm not afraid of him." Wang Yuan ate the fragrant braised pork, then sipped the wine in the glass.
Drink up the white wine.
"Yo yo yo~ You said you were fat and you still got breathless?"
…
Not only Wang Yuan's family was watching the news on the provincial channel, but Sun Dagang, Da Zhuang and their families were also watching. They usually felt that the sky was high and the emperor was far away, but they never expected that one day they would be able to meet each other.
At the same time, Wangjiatun's accountant "Liu Kun" was also watching the provincial channel, but he was not so happy. He could never forget the incident when Wang Yuan beat his uncle and teased him several times.
"Hey~ Old lady, old lady, have you seen it? Isn't that the rotten Wang Yuan on TV just now?"
"Oh my god~ It seems to be true. Why is he even on TV? You must have been dazzled by it."
"It's impossible, there's something wrong with his appearance." Liu Kun didn't even bother to put on his shoes and got off the kang. He leaned in front of the TV and took a closer look, with a straight face as if someone owed him money.
