Sister-in-law Li couldn't help but circle around her brother-in-law. She pointed at Li Xiaoyang who was hiding behind him with a dark face: "For your third uncle's sake, I'll spare you this time and go to the ditch to wash yourself off." !
Li Xiaoyang looked at her cautiously, "I can wash it, but you must first promise that you won't chase me and hit me when I come out!"
Seeing his look, Sister-in-law Li became very angry and said, "If you can, just hide behind your third uncle. I'll make sure I have some fried meat with bamboo shoots for you to eat!" Li Changle turned to look at his idiot nephew and slapped his butt. Just a slap, "Hurry up, go back and wash your head and face, don't make your mother-in-law angry."
"Yes, Xiaoyang, listen to your third uncle, quickly change your clothes and wash your head and face." Zhou Ruonan and Sister-in-law Li also advised after hearing the sound. Li Xiaoyang thought of soda and nodded quickly, "Auntie, I was wrong. "I'm going to wash my face and hair right now. Don't worry, I'll make sure it's clean." "If you can't wash it clean, I'll settle the accounts with you again!" Mrs. Li's eyes were like daggers, she slashed him, and held The bamboo piece walked towards the house.
Li Xiaoyang winked at Li Changle, "Third uncle, remember to buy me a soda!
Li Changle waved his hand, "Wash it quickly. You can take your younger siblings to buy it yourself." Looking at the energy, the blow just now was not hard enough and it didn't hurt. Thinking about it, I still feel that my boss is a good boy. If he raises a disobedient child like Xiaoyang, , life expectancy will be shortened by a few years.
"Oh!" Li Xiaoyang waved to Li Xiaotao, who was hiding behind the door and looking around, "Traitor, come out and work quickly. "Brother, is Third Uncle planning to cash in the prize?"
"Yeah! I told you, third uncle is more generous than grandma.
Li Changle looked at the two brothers skipping away, and suddenly remembered that he wanted to eat braised pork before, and his mouth watered just thinking about it.
He shook his head with a smile, carried the bucket into the house, and saw Zhou Ruonan had already started cooking, "Nan, I brought back some lobsters to cook for dinner tonight.
"You put it over there first. I'll put the rice in the pot and put it away." Zhou Ruonan said with a smile, "Xiaoyang brought some crucian carp over and I fried them until browned on both sides and cooked them into soup." "No, I'll just put them away." "
"Crayfish are hard to take care of. They can't be cleaned and they have a fishy smell of mud. "Don't worry, just leave it to me."
Li Changle took vinegar and salt, poured it into a porcelain basin and mixed it with water. He poured the crayfish directly into it and soaked it for ten minutes until the crayfish spit out the mud and dirt. After scrubbing it clean, peel off the head shell and pinch the middle tail of the lobster tail. Wings, pull out the shrimp thread...
Zhou Ruonan came over after simmering the rice. Seeing how skillfully he handled the lobster, he asked strangely: "When did you learn to do this?"
Li Changle looked at her with a playful smile, "I know a lot. If you look at it slowly, you will know that your man is a piece of jade, waiting for you, the teacher, to figure it out. Zhou Ruonan feels that there is no one better than him in this world. A man with a thicker skin said, "Bah! Day by day, I say all the shameless things."
"You are my wife, that's why I'm telling you this. I don't even bother to look at other women." "Glib tongue."
Li Changle stepped forward, "Where is the oil..."
After the two cleaned the crayfish, Zhou Ruonan put it on the pot, while Li Changle collected the dried fish and the dozen or so seahorses and dried them for two days, until the fish was completely dry.
Li Changle pinched the seahorses. They were small and could be dried in the sun in a day.
Zhou Ruonan had washed the membrane on the surface of the seahorse and removed the internal organs, but there was still a strong fishy smell.
He suddenly remembered that in his previous life, he heard an old Chinese medicine practitioner from a drug store say that those who are not used to the fishy smell of sea can blanch them in boiling water for three to five minutes. After filtering out the water, the dried seahorses will have a lighter smell.
After putting the dried seahorses in a sack and the fish fish in a dustpan, he remembered that Awei said there were many seahorses on the island and asked Zhou Ruonan to weave two small nets. He picked up the dustpan and walked towards the house.
"Uncle Third, we've finished washing." Li Xiaoyang and his brothers came over from there carrying a wooden basin, "Look, we've washed the clothes too.
Li Changle looked back and saw that the mud on the hair of the two children had been washed away. "If you had done this earlier, your mother wouldn't have beaten you." I understand, a good man will not suffer the consequences of the moment, and he will never talk back to my mother in the future. .
"Uncle Third," Li Xiaoyang looked at him fawningly, "Where are our sodas?"
"I still have to rely on you!" Li Changle knocked on his forehead, "How much does a bottle cost? "Six cents a bottle." Li Xiaoyang said with a smile, "I just bought it once, and I won't buy it again."
Li Changle didn't expect it to be cheaper than the fire pancakes, so he gave him a dollar and said, "I'll buy some for my sisters too, and I'll pay back the money I got." "Yeah!" Li Xiaoyang happily handed over the money, "I'll go shout. younger brother."
Li Changle waved his hand without looking back and carried the dustpan back to the house. The smell of crayfish wafted over from the stove.
"Ale, call Xiaohai, Xiaozhou is back for dinner."
Li Changle put down the dustpan and told her about the lobster fishing competition, "I went to the canteen to buy soda. I saw that they wanted to drink soda more than I wanted to roast meat before."
"Children are like this. They feel strange when they see someone they haven't eaten before. Let them eat it once, and then they know the taste and don't want to think about it anymore."
"Yes, and..." Li Changle told her about weaving a cheat net to catch seahorses. As long as it was a matter of making money, she naturally fully supported it and immediately expressed her stance that she would weave two for him after dinner.
As soon as the food was put on the table, Li Xiaoyang ran in with a group of children, each holding a bottle of soda in their hands.
Li Xiaohai took out a handful of money from his pocket and put it on the table, "Abba, the money I got back." He paused and said, "Uncle Awei said that grandma asked him to eat at home, but he couldn't come over." "Yeah!" Li Changle put the money in his pocket and glanced at a few people, "They all went to wash their hands and eat crayfish."
"Let's go home and eat." Li Xiaoyang and others ran home carrying soda drinks.
Li Changle helped bring out the crayfish and saw that the two children were looking at the soda without moving, "Don't you like it very much? Why didn't you drink it after you bought it?" "We can't open it."
"Abba, I'll open it for you." Li Changle then saw that it had an iron cover, picked it up, put it in his mouth and bit it, the cap opened, and the bubbles in the bottle kept rising. "Abba, my It's orange flavored." Li Xiaozhou took a sip and smiled like a cat stealing food. "Grandma bought it for me. You can try it. It's so sweet."
"Good boy!" Li Changle picked it up and took a sip, "It tastes good!"
Li Xiaohai picked it up and put it in front of him, "Abba, try my orange flavor. The orange flavor my grandma bought me last time."
"The orange flavor is also good." Li Changle happily put a chopstick of crayfish in their bowls, "Don't just drink soda, eat something before drinking." "It's so spicy!" Li Xiaohai stuck out his tongue and slurred. Finger, "Spicy and delicious!"
Zhou Ruonan came out with dried crucian carp soup, "Auntie put two chili peppers in it. Eat less to avoid getting burnt and sore throat." "Boss and I both like spicy food. It goes well with wine." Li Changle drank it. Taking a sip of rice wine, he said, "Anan, you also have a drink." Zhou Ruonan said, "No, drinking it once in a while is fine. If you drink it every day, you will become an old drunkard."
"Old wine is spicy, I don't like spicy food." Li Xiaozhou took a sip of soda, "I like sweet wine."
"If you eat too much sweet food, your teeth will rot." Zhou Ruonan picked up the meat from the fish's belly and put it in his bowl. "Don't just drink soda, drink some fish soup." "No, we earned the soda, dad." They all promised to give us a drink."
Zhou Ruonan looked at his youngest son who didn't eat well and glared at Li Changle, "You won't grow up like them either."
Li Changle looked innocent and said to his youngest son: "Did you see that if you don't eat well, your mother will glare at me? In the future, my father will not dare to give you money to buy anything." Li Xiaozhou looked at him and then at his mother. Mom, "Is grandma the head of our family?"
"..
Li Changle asked curiously: "Why do you say that?"
Li Xiaohai explained: "When we went to buy soda, we met Lao Wai. Brother Xiaoyang asked him to go back and ask his father to buy it with money. He said that his mother-in-law was the head of the family. His mother-in-law glared at his father, and he I don’t dare to give him money anymore.”
Li Changle smiled and said, "Your grandma is also the head of our family. The money my dad gave you to buy soda was the pocket money your grandma gave me." Zhou Ruonan rolled his eyes and couldn't understand why these men don't care about anything. Do you have to tell children?
Li Xiaohai looked at him with sympathy, "Abba, Grandpa Dong said that you can get a penny refund for a soda bottle. My brother and I will return the soda bottle and give you the money." "Abba, you still have money, you can save it yourself. Here, when I run out of pocket money, you can lend it to me."
"Hey!" The child nodded happily.
"Okay, have a good meal. The fish soup smells very fishy when it's cold." Zhou Ruonan scooped a bowl of dried crucian carp soup for the three of them and said to Li Changle, "Are you going to collect the cans tonight?" Li Changle nodded, " Let’s go to the grove first and then take a look over there.”
"Then you eat and rest for a while, before it's too late and you can't stay up."
"You can just lie down for a while." After eating and drinking, Li Changle pulled up a chair and bench and went to the back door to rest. The two children and Li Xiaoyang went to return the soda bottles. The cool breeze blew, and he actually fell asleep leaning on the bamboo chair. It wasn't until Zhou Ruonan asked the child to take a bath and go to bed that he woke up.
He rubbed his little son, who was standing on the stone steps with his bare buttocks waiting to take a shower, and said, "Stay at home, my father went shopping for sea food." Li Xiaozhou smiled and narrowed his eyes, "My father came back from shopping for some good stuff."
"Abba, I said his legs are getting better and he can use more strength." The eldest son ran in happily.
"That's great, Dad, let's take a look." Li Changle quickly went to his parents' house and saw Li's father walking in from the back door with a cane. He hurriedly stepped forward to help him, "You listened to me, right? Eat well. If you keep up with nutrition, your injured leg will recover faster."
