She also retracted her gaze,
She calmly walked to the well to fetch water.
She needed to take the initiative to change the habits she had developed over the years,
Especially the habit of involuntarily following He Songbai,
She had to let nature take its course slowly. Zhao Lanxiang had to admit that the gap between the nineteen-year-old He Songbai and the forty-year-old man was like a natural chasm. When they were forty years old, they could help each other,
They were loving and sweet.
It did not mean that they could be together smoothly at the age of nineteen,
Everything had its own destiny. Zhao Lanxiang's real purpose for coming to his side in the countryside this time,
Was to stop him from going to prison, not to rush to fall in love with him and marry him.
With this thought in mind, Zhao Lanxiang, who had something in her heart, suddenly became enlightened and let go of the burden in her heart.
She rubbed the smelly pig's large intestine clean with salt. After washing the large intestine, she carefully washed the pig's trotters. The knife carefully scraped the pig's trotters,
Her ten thumbs kneaded it as if she was massaging it. The white pig's trotters with a hint of red looked very cute under the clear water. Zhao Lanxiang, who was so greedy for meat, couldn't even wait to use her spices to quickly simmer it.
Half a catty of pig's trotters was actually not much meat. There were only a few sporadic pieces when it was cut into pieces. But Zhao Lanxiang, who was shy in her purse,
Could only temporarily suppress her greedy heart.
Fortunately, other than the cost of a meat ticket, the rest of these two things were very cost-effective. Two cents for a catty of large intestine,
Ten cents for pig's trotters. She deliberately chose pig's trotters that were evenly distributed between fat and lean. Thinking that it was still early,
There was still time to stew five-spice pig's trotters.
Sister He hadn't finished work yet, and it wasn't that early for the He family to cook dinner.
She borrowed the He family's stove and pot head.
She blanched the pig's trotters with water,
She soaked them with wine and soy sauce for half an hour. Then, she fried the next pot head with oil and ginger slices,
The spices were wrapped in gauze and made into a spice bag. She put it into a small pot,
The pig's trotters were placed into the small pot to simmer. When the water was almost dry, the pig trotters had become oily and red.
The water in the pot bubbled. Satisfied, she sniffed the rising fragrance and put the lid on the pot.
He Sanya was the first to reach home. She put down the heavy bag of pigweed on her back and smelled its fragrance. She could not help but walk to the woodshed. This was a rich and overbearing aroma. When the hungry people smelled it, they would feel even more hungry. He Sanya's mouth was dripping with saliva. When she saw Zhao Lanxiang in the woodshed, she was stunned. She looked at him greedily, then ran to the yard and poured herself a big bowl of water. She took a handful of vegetables and drank it with the water.
Zhao Lanxiang, who was concentrating on cooking, was startled by the sudden appearance of this little girl. Then, he saw her lying by the well, drinking raw water and eating wild vegetables. He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
She led the child into the woodshed and lifted the lid of the small pot. Eight pig trotters were stewed until they were soft and sweet. They were glistening with oil. She took out a bowl for He San Ya. She used a pair of chopsticks to pick up one of the pig trotters and blew on it before putting it in the bowl.
"Eat."
He Sanya revealed a row of white teeth. She lowered her head and chewed on the pig trotters like a little animal. She was not shy at all. She did not understand the complicated rules of the adult world. She was used to people giving her the cold shoulder. Even when she was beaten, she did not cry. She was so timid that she was like a puppet without emotions.
However, as long as she was treated slightly better, the bright smile in her dark eyes was as warm as the fire on the stove. After she finished eating, she buried her face in the bowl and giggled. Then, she licked the leftover taste in the bowl.
He Songbai saw this scene when he came back from feeding the pig.
In the dimly lit woodshed, a small flame was licking the small pot. The dancing flame outlined the woman who was squatting in front of the stove. His silly child was eating rice and meat around her.
Everything was harmonious, except for the fact that San Ya was eating meat with the woman.
His face darkened and he called out to San Ya.
"Who told you to eat food for free?"
The young man's deep and hoarse voice was filled with uncontrollable anger. He strode over to He Sanya and picked her up with one hand. With a sullen face, he pulled out a few crumpled tickets from his pocket and put them on the table. His voice was stiff as he said,
"Don't give her food so casually in the future."
Zhao Lanxiang could not help but take two steps back. He Songbai's fierce expression made her feel like he was going to beat someone up.
Then, he really did beat He Sanya up. He hit her butt and made her stand in the corner. However, He Sanya was used to being beaten up and was very stubborn. Although she was beaten up by her brother, she still ate two pieces of pig trotters. Even when she was standing in the corner, she was still smacking her lips and thinking about the fragrance of the pig trotters.
In reality, she did not know that she was eating pig trotters. How would she know what pig trotters tasted like? This poor child rarely had the chance to eat pig trotters. After that, this meal of pig trotters became a taste that He Sanya would never forget for the rest of his life.
Zhao Lanxiang did not know whether to laugh or be angry. She walked in front of He Songbai and said, "I'm the one who gave her food. What does a child like her know? Why don't you just beat me up too?"
He Songbai stood in the same spot. He could only feel a sense of unbearable sadness spreading throughout his body. He also wanted to let his cute little sister eat to her heart's content. She had never had a good meal since she was born. When she was two to three months old, she did not have any milk to drink. It was his sister who fed her with water and ground sweet potatoes. But no matter how hard he worked, he still couldn't get a full meal.
He could only blame the heavens for letting them reincarnate into the He Family and suffer a lot with him for nothing.
He Songbai's dark eyes were covered with a layer of dust. He only looked at Zhao Lanxiang once before turning around and going into the firewood room. His large hands grabbed two handfuls of brown rice and began to make the He Family's dinner.
Zhao Lanxiang felt that his gaze just now made her feel as if her heart was suddenly broken.
… …
When Sister He came back that night, He Sanya called out to her with a smile from the corner of the wall.
Zhao Lanxiang took out the pig trotters and intestines that she had cooked. She gave each of them a bowl of rice and said with a smile, "I ate a free meal last night. Let's eat together today."
Big Sister He hurriedly shook her head. Yesterday's meal was considered sumptuous for them because there was more rice than usual. However, it was still very shabby. How could it compare to the meat and rice that Zhao Zhiqing had prepared?
