Chapter 17 Brown Sugar Steamed Bread
Chapter 17 Brown Sugar Steamed Bread
The morning meal consisted of Lin Muqing's steamed brown sugar steamed buns, a plate of pickled vegetables, wild vegetables picked by Chunniang and Suiyu just now, and four bowls of thick corn porridge mixed with some millet grains.
Chun Niang stirred the porridge bowl before she said to Lin Muqing, "After steaming the steamed buns, why is the porridge still so thick?"
Suiyu picked up the bowl to drink porridge, but quietly put it down after hearing Chunniang's words, and retracted the hand that wanted to get the steamed buns, and Lin Hua did the same, but he took a steamed bun that looked like a lot of sugar and handed it to Suiyu. Yu's hand, and winked at him again.
"It's not that there is a shortage of food and money, this year is another year of abundance." Lin Muqing didn't care at all, and took a steamed bun from the steamed bun basket, first gave it to Chun Niang, and then handed it to Lin Hua.When he wanted to give it to Suiyu, he found that Suiyu already had a steamed bun in his hand, so he turned his head and gave Lin Hua a look.
Suiyu took it and ate it, either not eating it or not, just sitting there holding the steamed buns.
Only then did Chunniang realize that besides Lin Muqing and Lin Hua there was Suiyu on the table, and she softened her face: "Little Yuer, eat."
Suiyu just tore a piece of steamed bun and put it in his mouth, only to find that it was sweet, steamed and very fluffy and soft.
The sweet steamed buns paired with salty pickles created different layers in the mouth. Suiyu squinted his eyes after eating, and finally drank a bowl of warm porridge, feeling that the worries and depressions in his heart were all gone. With this porridge dissipated.
His appetite is very small, and Lin Muqing's steamed buns are very big, so he couldn't eat a single bun.Chunniang saw that he had only torn half of the steamed bun, and then thought of what she had said just now, so she turned her head to comfort him: "Mother has no other intentions, don't worry too much."
After finishing speaking, he picked up wild vegetables mixed with chopsticks.
Suiyu looked at the wild vegetables in her bowl, thinking that they tasted the same as the ones she had eaten before, and because she believed in Lin Muqing's craftsmanship, she ate them into her mouth without any hesitation.
After eating it, I realized that it is not only fishy in the hand, it is like eating a fish without scales and gills, and it also has the taste of onion, ginger and garlic, and the spicy taste of dogwood powder is like It was the needles that pierced his tongue one by one. For the first time, Suiyu didn't pay attention to his eating manner, and spit out all the food he ate.
He looked at Lin Muqing with grievances in his eyes: "This is not delicious at all!"
Chun Niang laughed: "Little Yu'er may not be used to eating this, even the first time eating this."
Suiyu still felt aggrieved, and refused to put down his chopsticks after vomited it out: "This is not edible at all, like eating a dead fish."
Lin Muqing picked up a chopstick dish and threw it into his mouth: "You're right, this grass has another name, it's called Houttuynia cordata."
Suiyu's face was slumped, thinking that Lin Muqing was teasing him with bad intentions.
"Xiao Yu'er can't eat this, so don't eat it." Chun Niang put another pickled vegetable for him, saw that Sui Yu only drank a small amount of porridge and half a steamed bun, and sighed, her appetite is so small, her body Also so weak, I don't know if it is good to give birth.
Lin Hua was also laughing: "Sister-in-law, the first time I ate this was more uncomfortable than you, and I vomited."
So you all like to use this broken fish grass to torment people here, right?
Suiyu took a sip of the porridge, and then stepped on Lin Muqing with his intact foot under the table.
"Xiaoqiu, do you know your mistake?" Lin Wanxia held a cane and stood behind Lin Wanqiu, who knelt in front of their parents' tablet.
"Brother, I'm not wrong. You like Brother Qing, and Brother Qing also likes you. You should be together. There's nothing wrong with killing that little boy!" Lin Wanqiu straightened her back, even facing her parents' tablet , he still doesn't think he was wrong.
"Who said I like Brother Qing, and who said Brother Qing likes me?" Lin Wanxia became impatient, and slapped Lin Wanqiu's back with a cane.
Lin Wanqiu cried loudly, he didn't understand what was wrong with him, what was wrong with pursuing happiness for his brother, he retorted: "You just like him, and you bought the red cloth back!"
Lin Wanxia burst into tears, and he quickly wiped them off with the back of his hand: "I like him, so he must marry me? Xiaoqiu, brother Qing doesn't owe us anything."
"He doesn't like you, why did he save us?"
"Is it because he likes me because he saved us? Then he saved so many people, does he like them all?" Lin Wanxia only felt her heart throbbing. Lin Muqing is a good man, a chivalrous man with a heart of great love People, so a large part of the people he rescued lived in the stockade, and they had a shelter from the wind and rain.
Lin Wanxia's heart ached, he thought so before, Lin Muqing treated everyone equally, but why did he get married suddenly, why didn't he wait for him?
"I won't apologize to you, I didn't do anything wrong." Lin Wanqiu wiped away the snot and tears on her face, leaving a sticky mass on her face.
"Xiaoqiu, I know you're doing it for me, but do you know that you almost killed a human life? Should my happiness be based on a human life? Have you forgotten what I taught you before?"
Lin Wanqiu couldn't stop sobbing: "It was his bad luck. He met a brown bear, and it was his bad luck that he fell into the trap."
"But did you find someone to save him when you came back? If he didn't protect you guys, would you go back home safely? He replaced the three of you and came back alone. Instead of thanking him, you still think Should he die? Xiaoqiu, my brother never taught you to repay kindness and be ungrateful. I can talk about the matter between me and Brother Qing. In this matter, do you think you are right? Shouldn’t you apologize? "
"But because of him, my friends ignored me, Lin Hua even beat me up, why should I apologize to him!" Lin Wanqiu just felt that she was wronged, why her brother who always loved him didn't understand so much He, obviously he was doing it for their good.
Lin Wanxia heard his attitude of not admitting his mistakes, and hit him on the back again, "You have to apologize to me."
"Even if I apologize, I won't apologize sincerely!"
Lin Wanxia didn't know what to say, she also dropped the cane, fell to the ground, and cried together with Lin Wanqiu.
In the courtyard of Lin Muqing's house, Lin Hua fetched a basin of water and put it in front of them, and then went to write in the sand in the room that Lin Muqing temporarily built for them.
"Lin Hua loves learning very much. If my father is here, he will definitely like him very much." Suiyu looked at a small dagger that Lin Muqing brought out for him from the house, on which were inlaid with a few pure white pearls, Seeing is not ordinary.
"Your father?" Lin Muqing threw a cloth towel and wiped his beard, while Suiyu was still touching the dagger like a baby, he poked Suiyu's forehead, "What kind of person is my father-in-law? ?”
"My father is a teacher." This was the first time Suiyu mentioned his family.
"Scholar, that's right, only a scholar can raise a brother like you."
Suiyu snorted, pulled out the dagger, looked at the sharp blade suddenly appeared in the cold light, and looked at Lin Muqing's beard, for a while, he didn't know what to do.
"Come here." Lin Muqing lay on the recliner where Suiyu usually lay, and greeted Suiyu like a puppy.
Suiyu glanced at his ankle, and then at the distance between himself and Lin Muqing. He got used to being hugged by him recently, and forgot that he could jump with his uninjured foot. past.He put the dagger back into the scabbard first, and then dragged his unbearable leg to jump in front of Lin Muqing.
Lin Muqing also came to his senses at this moment, and stood up quickly, but his movements were too big, and when he got up, he followed Yu and bumped into each other. Sui Yu couldn't bear his big body and couldn't stand firmly on one foot. Taking advantage of the trend, he fell to the ground, and Lin Muqing had no time to pick him up, so he could only protect the back of his head with one hand.
Suiyu's whole body was covered by Lin Muqing, and the smell of Lin Muqing was all in the nostrils, Suiyu didn't know how to describe it, it was like the smell of tooth powder they used to, or like the hand oil he bought for Suiyu The smell doesn't resemble anything else, it's Lin Muqing's own smell, which is too aggressive, even Suiyu is a little startled.
"Aren't you getting up?" Suiyu awkwardly moved her body under the pressure of Lin Muqing, suddenly touched some vitality, Suiyu froze for a moment, then immediately bent her knees, but was held down by Lin Muqing in the next moment.
"With this knee down, you don't want the happiness of the rest of your life?" Lin Muqing pulled him up, let him sit on the side, and stretched his face in front of him, "Do it."
Suiyu's face was as red as pure onyx without a trace of impurities. Lin Muqing's words made him feel ashamed and annoyed. He pulled out the scabbard, and the shining blade dangled in front of Lin Muqing: "If you talk nonsense again , I cut your throat."
Lin Muqing raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, only then did Suiyu feel that the burning sensation on his face subsided a little, and then he began to seriously shave Lin Muqing's beard.
He slowly moved closer to Lin Muqing's face, feeling Lin Muqing's breath hot on his face, as the dagger in his hand moved slowly, Lin Muqing's chin was slowly exposed, which was previously covered by the beard, The invisible perfect jaw line has a very clear outline, Suiyu's eyes slowly moved from his jaw line to the top of his eyebrows, the flying eyebrows, the sharp eyes like a falcon, and the sharp jaw Wire.
He only really saw Lin Muqing's appearance today.
Suiyu's fingers were a little cold, and the little finger touched Lin Muqing's cheek, as if being scalded by the heat of his face, the fingers curled up slightly.His strength is very light, and he seems to be very skilled in doing this. He should have done it often in the past.
"Have you ever cleaned someone else's beard before?" Lin Muqing's eyes fell into Suiyurushui's eyes.
"Give it to my father." Suiyu probed Lin Muqing's sideburns with his little finger again, and gave up before touching the blunt stubble, "Okay."
Lin Muqing was actually not used to the coolness on his chin, but when he saw Suiyu's slightly curved lips, Lin Muqing scratched his head and forced himself to get used to it. He saw Suiyu wipe the dagger clean with a cloth towel , Closed the scabbard again and handed it to him.
"Take it and play with it, I'll give it to you."
After Lin Muqing finished speaking, he saw Suiyu's bright eyes, which were so clear and clear, that people wanted to hold all the good things in front of him.
