Seeing that the children had caught so many loaches, Mrs. Hongyuan said happily: "I'm going to make you a pot of loach tofu. It's delicious, beautiful, and nutritious." Then she poured the loaches into a big basin.

, put in clean water.

"Mom, you will make it at noon today." Liang Xiaole asked deliberately. Because she didn't know if the "Loach Diamond Tofu" in this time and space was the same as the one she had eaten in her previous life, and she couldn't ask directly, so she had to do a provocation.

"It won't work at noon today." Hongyuan Niang said with a smile: "The loach needs to be starved in clear water for about 7 days to make it vomit all the dirt in its stomach before it can cook."

"Ah, seven days? Haven't all the loaches starved to death?" Liang Xiaole deliberately made a fuss. But in his heart, he was thinking: This time is too long. Can Dou Jinan and the six of them eat this dish?

"After seven days of starvation, you need to feed the loach egg whites to replenish its strength so that it can have the strength to crawl into the tofu." Hongyuan Niang continued to explain.

"How do loaches get through tofu?" Several children asked at the same time.

"After starving the loach for seven days, add salt and boil the tofu first, so that the tofu will not break easily." Hongyuan Niang was completely immersed in her memories, as if she was not facing a child, but a group of people.

Diners who want to taste her cooking skills: "After the tofu has cooled, mix it with the live loach

At the same time, put it in a cold water pot, then add salt, ginger, pepper and other seasonings. Then slowly heat it over low heat. The tofu is large and will heat up later than the water. The temperature of the water in the pot continues to rise, and the loach is in the hot water.

I was so anxious that I had nowhere to hide, so I finally got into the cold tofu. This is the loach digging into the tofu."

After Hongyuan's mother finished speaking, she saw that the children were listening attentively, and then she realized that she regarded them as adults, and added: "Because hungry loaches will continue to eat soup after being put into the water, so

, the loach in the tofu is also very flavorful. The made 'loach tofu' tastes particularly fresh, and the soup is fragrant and refreshing. I am sure you will want to eat it again."

"Auntie, can we still eat?" Dou Jinan asked gloomily. He knew that the person who delivered the letter home had already left, and he could not wait until seven days before leaving.

"I can eat it." Hongyuan Niang said with a smile: "Wait for your adults to come. I asked them to wait for you to eat the 'loach drill tofu' before leaving. I said that this is the loach you caught yourself, and I will let you eat it."

superior."

"Come on!" Dou Jinan shouted happily.

Liang Xiaole saw smiles appear on the faces of the six boys. It seemed that the temptation of "loach and tofu" was not small to them.

In fact, Liang Xiaole can completely force the dirt out of the loach's stomach with his superpower. He can also shorten the time the loach is hungry by using space water. However, the loach is not transparent, and whether its stomach is clean or not can only be based on experience. This is people's experience.

There is nothing Liang Xiaole can do about the psychological effects.

As Mother Hongyuan said, it would be a good thing to let these children who worship the heaven eat "loach drill tofu" before leaving. It will be beneficial for these six families to form a deep friendship with this family.

The development of your own career.

Thinking of this, Liang Xiaole gave up the idea of ​​using supernatural powers. Ren Hongyuanniang did it according to her own method.

………………

When it was getting dark, the six boys' families all arrived. Father and son, mother and son, grandparents and grandchildren all hugged each other and cried. When it came to the whole story, no one could explain clearly. The six boys only said:

I was snatched away on the altar, imprisoned for three or four days, and then brought here in a car.

Hongyuan's parents said that their daughter ran away alone at a banquet in the village and was kidnapped. When asked about Liang Xiaole, Liang Xiaole "couldn't explain why." He only said that he stayed in a dark room all night and was kidnapped as soon as dawn came.

She carried her into the car.

Talking about it, when it comes to Hongyuan Niang's "spirit", when everyone heard that Hongyuan Niang knelt and prayed under the heaven and earth for two nights, they all agreed that it was Hongyuan Niang's piety that moved her.

Grandpa God, Grandpa God sent gods to save the children. In history, there were boys who came back from worshiping the gods, but most of them were so frightened that they fell sick. Look at these six children, they are all jumping up and down, they don’t look like each other at all.

Looks frightened.

"Do you still remember what the person who saved you looks like?" Dou Jinan's father, Dou Jiande, asked his son.

"I told you, they were robbing, not rescuing." Dou Jinan retorted: "They were not good to us at all. They pulled us over and locked us in the house and refused to let us out."

"What are you talking about?" Dou Jiande was a little angry: "It would be nice to rescue you from the deep mountains and old forests, but let others treat you like an emperor?! You have no future!"

None of the other five boys said a word.

As a result, robbers are said to be heroes and gods who "save people".

Liang Xiaole felt very sad. However, she was "too young" and couldn't explain many things thoroughly, so she had no choice but to let it go, pretending to be confused, and not knowing everything she asked.

Hong Yuan Niang's "arrogance" became even greater. The family members of the six boys all worshiped Hong Yuan Niang. Looking at her posture, they almost fell in love with her.

Xie Yucheng's grandfather, Xie Lao Xiucai, shed tears of excitement and said to Hongyuan's parents: "My benefactor, it was your piety that saved my adult son and saved this single seedling for my Xie family. I can't thank you enough."

If you don't mind, let Cheng'er be your godson and let him honor you for the rest of his life. I will repay you by working as a cow or a horse in my next life."

Understanding what the old scholar said, the parents of the other five boys also said: "Yes, my benefactor, you are the reborn parents of our children. In order for the children to better respect you, let them do your work."

Sons, they often move around, and if you have any work to do, just ask them to do it."

When Hongyuan's parents saw that all the parents of the six boys were willing to accept their marriage, they felt happy, but they couldn't express themselves. For a moment, they didn't know what to do.

The six boys who worshiped heaven and Liang Xiaole, who had been missing for a whole day, were returned to the village, and the village spread the news. Seeing the boy's family again, people wanted to see this scene of joys and sorrows with their own eyes. Hongyuan

The courtyard and aisles of my father's house were full of people.

Liang Longqin, Liang Zhao and Liang Longqin's brothers, sisters-in-law and nephews also came.

Liang Longqin saw Hongyuan's parents looking directly at him with happy faces. He knew that they had never experienced such a thing and were asking for advice, so he said: "You are both a family that has been selected to send your children to sacrifice to heaven. You can be considered a family that shares weal and woe.

It would be better for the children to make sworn friends to each other, as it would be considered as having the same destiny. It would be more convenient for them to move around each other."

"Yes, let the children become sworn brothers. We are each other's godfather and godmother. It is convenient for the children to move around. It is also convenient for us adults." Dad Hongyuan said loudly and happily.

The families of the six boys were naturally willing. So, people reported their children's birthdays and divided them into different sizes. They became sworn brothers. From then on, they had to be called "brother" and "younger brother". They had to be divided into different sizes.

.

Hongyuan Niang said: "There are seven children in total. My Lele went there on behalf of her brother. When the boys were selected, the villagers came for our three seven-year-old boys. One was

My sons, one is the son I took in and the other is the son of the elder brother. I think.

Let the three of them worship together with the six boys. The nine children are all the same age, so it is rare to get them together, and they happen to be an odd number (in ancient times, sworn vows must be an odd number). People don't often say "eight brothers"

'Eight brothers', we have one more than this, nine brothers."

"Okay, that's it, let nine children of the same age become sworn brothers. In this way, no one will feel lost." Liang Longqin said.

Xin Qingtong and his wife, who were watching from the sidelines, were so excited that they wiped away tears.

"You will be the mother of nine sons from now on." Xie Yucheng's grandmother, the wife of the old scholar Xie, took Hong Yuanniang's hand and said happily.

"Auntie, the same goes for you. From now on, you will be the grandmother of nine grandchildren." Hongyuan's mother also said.

"No, I didn't realize it for a moment. So, all of us are relatives of these nine children!"

"Yes, sister-in-law," Liang Longqin said with a smile: "From now on, just wait and enjoy the blessings!"

The people who spoke laughed.

The sizes were quickly distinguished:

Dou Jin'an has the oldest birthday, and is the eldest brother, Hu Yanhui is the second, Xie Yucheng is the third, and Ma Zhitao is the fourth. Liang Hongyuan should be ranked fifth, because Feng Liangcun doesn't know his birthday, but he is taller and fatter than Liang Hongyuan. Hongyuan's mother

Let him be ranked in front of Hongyuan, the fifth child, the sixth child of Hongyuan, the seventh child of Yang Tingguang, the eighth child of Xin Luo, and the ninth child of Han Guangping.

Liang Longqin asked Hongyuan's mother to light three sticks of incense, put them in the incense burner, and put them under the sky and the earth. He said to everyone: "The children are still young, and they are assigned by the adults. We will skip all other ceremonies and let them

Kowtow a few times to the incense under heaven and earth, it will be considered as a formal sworn vow."

After Liang Longqin finished speaking, he asked the nine boys to kowtow together and call them "brother" and "younger brother". Then he kowtowed to each of their parents respectively and called them "godfather" and "godmother", and called the old scholar and his wife "goddy".

"Grandpa" and "Grandma".

After they all recognized each other, Dou Jinan said to his mother: "Mom, my brother Hongyuan and I have become godbrothers. Is Lele my godsister?"

"This..." Jin An's mother didn't know what to say for a moment.

Ordinarily, the affection between godbrothers is limited to each other and each other's parents, and has nothing to do with their respective brothers and sisters. They can only be called "brother", "younger brother", "sister" and "sister" according to the person they are sworn to.

The word "gan" cannot be included.

After sworn sworn vows, one should regard the parents of the other party as one's own parents, pay New Year's greetings during the New Year, attend funerals (marriage), and wear mourning for funerals. They are the same as sworn brothers. And his brother

Or sisters, you don't have to do this. That's the difference.

And sworn parents should treat their sworn godson as they would their own biological sons. But they should treat their godson's brothers and sisters a step further.

Jin An's mother knew this truth. When she saw that her son liked this little girl very much, she couldn't bear to hurt her son. She also knew that this little girl had gone to sacrifice for her brother, and she admired her very much. From admiration to love, she grew up.

since

I also liked this little girl very much. Seeing Liang Xiaole cuddling next to her mother, she walked over, took Liang Xiaole's little hand and said, "My daughter, your two brothers have become godbrothers. I recognize you as my goddaughter.

Let’s keep kissing each other, okay?”

Liang Xiaole thought to herself: Just admit it. Anyway, I am here to pick up the bargains. A cheap girl plus a cheap godmother might be helpful to the development of my career! So, he suddenly flashed a pair of big eyes and smiled.

He looked at Hongyuan's mother and said, "As long as mother agrees."

Hongyuan Niang thought to herself: The sons of the two families have become godbrothers, and Lele is their sister. But she has no direct affection for the adults. Since she has said it out loud, let Lele also recognize her as a godbrother, and they can become closer to each other.

What's wrong? So, he said to Liang Xiaole: "Be my goddaughter to my brother's godmother, and go with my brother to see my godmother, okay?"

Seeing that Hong Yuan's mother agreed, Liang Xiaole followed suit and called Jin An's mother very simply: "Godmother!"

"Hey, be good!" Jin An's mother picked up Liang Xiaole, raised her hands above her head, and said to people: "I have a godson and a goddaughter. I am so happy."

Seeing this, the families of the other four boys also wanted to recognize Liang Xiaole as their goddaughter. The wife of the old scholar Xie asked to recognize her as their granddaughter. Hong Yuanniang agreed to the family, so she had no reason to refuse others, and asked Liang Xiaole one by one.

They recognized each other and changed their names to "Godmother" and "Godmother".
