When Ma Liu rushed to the house with his eldest granddaughter, he smelled a faint smell of meat.

Ma Liu was taken aback for a moment, and then pushed open the courtyard door. Ma Xiulan, who heard the noise and ran out, jumped up happily when she saw her grandmother and sister came back, and said, "Grandma, my cousin has come to see us. We have some meat to eat." "The last sentence Ma Xiulan lowered her voice very low.

Although she is small, she also knows how to guard against those who will come to eat when they hear the sound.

Ma Xiulan ran over and grabbed her sister's hand, tiptoed and whispered in her ear: "Sister, cousin brought us candy."

Mu Yangling, who heard the movement, came out and saw his aunt, so he raised a smile, "Auntie, are you back?"

"Here, Ah Ling?" Ma Liu was only surprised for a moment, and hurried forward to push her out of the kitchen, "You child, why do you cook by yourself? It should be the great aunt who greeted you."

"It doesn't matter, great aunt, the dishes are ready, and I'm about to take them out."

When Ma Liu saw a pot full of chicken on the stove, his eyes turned red, and he said, "Your father has a heart."

Mu Yangling was most afraid of people crying, so he hurriedly got up to pick up the food and left, and said in a cheerful voice: "Auntie, you are all hungry, wash your hands quickly and eat, cousin, bring out the food quickly."

Ma Xiulan responded, pushed her sister, and said in a low voice: "Sister, wash your hands quickly, I'll serve the meal."

Ma Xiuhong had been looking at Mu Yangling from the beginning without saying a word, but now she was pushed by her sister, she just nodded slightly.

Ma Liushi went around in the kitchen, only to find a clean chicken soaked in a wooden bucket and two rabbits hanging in the kitchen, and he couldn't help saying: "This is too much, you take it like this." If you bring too much food, the three of us, grandparents and grandchildren, will not be able to eat it. Your family relies on this to live. You are not allowed to take it again next time. It is serious to buy more food after selling the money..."

Ma Xiuhong was surprised at this moment and glanced at Mu Yangling.

Mu Yangling felt that the cousin's reaction was very strange, so he smiled and said: "This is the big cousin, my father said that I am two months older than you, you should call me cousin."

Ma Xiuhong showed a stiff smile, called out "cousin", then lowered her head to wash her hands.

Mu Yangling responded.

The four of them were sitting at the dining table, and Ma Liu could not stop adding chicken to Mu Yangling's bowl, and said, "Eat more, you are growing up..."

Mu Yangling looked at the two cousins ​​who were much thinner than himself, and hurriedly stopped him: "Auntie, I'll pinch it myself," wrinkled his nose as he said, and said, "My family lacks everything else, except these wild game. , so you guys should eat it." As he spoke, he picked up the two meatiest pieces from his own bowl and stuffed them into the bowls of the two cousins, saying: "Eat quickly, my mother always said that I am not good at cooking. Just try it, is it really worse than you?"

Ma Liu said with a smile: "Your craftsmanship is not bad, but your mother's craftsmanship is too good."

Ma Xiulan devoured the meat, and took the time to say: "Cousin's cooking is delicious."

Ma Xiuhong was not slow to eat meat, but she just nodded when she heard the words, obviously not very good at speaking well.

One pot of food, Mu Yangling ate two bowls of rice, a lot of potatoes and sauerkraut, but only a few pieces of meat.

When Ma Liushi noticed it, she couldn't help feeling sour again, thinking that this child was too considerate.

A pot of vegetables was eaten clean by a private person. For the first time in many years, sister Ma Xiuhong ate so full that she couldn't help but sit on the side with her stomach in her arms.

Ma Liushi got up to clean up the table, cut open the two rabbits in the kitchen and put them under the eaves. Because he was afraid of being seen and stolen, he took things around to block his sight.

Mrs. Ma Liu stood in the kitchen for a while, but the family really couldn't get anything to return, so the little granddaughter slipped over and said, "Grandma, my cousin said that her mother likes your pickled sauerkraut very much."

Ma Liu's eyes lit up, her niece and daughter-in-law are ladies, she must not know how to make this kind of thing, but she can give her some more as a gift in return.

It's just that sauerkraut is so cheap that Ma Liu himself feels embarrassed, not to mention that Ah Ling is just a little girl, how many things can she bring?

Ma Liu secretly gritted her teeth, and decided to bring some silk raised at home as a gift after the autumn harvest was over. Those were originally left over after the summer tax, and they wanted to keep the savings until the two children grew up and sell them for them. dowry.

"Ah Ling, what else does your mother like to eat like sauerkraut? I'll get you some more."

Mu Yangling said with a smile: "As long as it's sour, my mother likes it." She squatted by the side and watched Ma Liu take the sauerkraut from the tank, and couldn't help but enviously said: "Auntie, you are really good, you can make sauerkraut, and you can also cook it." Capers, my mother can't make it."

The sauerkraut and sour beans made by Ma Liu's is a must. Mu Yangling almost couldn't get off the dinner table just now, so he picked up all these things and ate them.

Although Shu Wanniang's cooking skills are very good and the dishes are exquisite, she can't learn the essence of these common dishes.

So the Mu family didn't have these things, and they traded them with other people in the village.

Mrs. Ma Liu put on a lot of everything, looked at Mu Yangling's small body, took out some more, and put them in the back basket for her, saying: "You are young, just carry these things back home. The next time I call your father, I will carry two tanks back for him, I don’t have much else at home, these sauerkraut and capers are enough.”

Mrs. Ma Liu is not speaking politely. Farmers are nervous about eating oil. The dishes are all boiled, so they just add two drops of oil. Pickled cabbage and other things can be cooked by themselves, and they are cheap. Every household in the countryside They can make these things. Because the Ma family is poor, they don't want too much sauerkraut.

Of course, Mu Yangling couldn't ask for too much. If he got enough this time, what excuse would he use next time? So she said: "This is enough, otherwise it will not be fresh when you take it back. I heard that sour things will not taste good if they are left in the wind for a long time."

"It's true, so when you go back, let your mother mix it up, don't keep it, and come and get it if you don't have enough." Speaking of this, Ma Liu complained again, "Your father is also, how old are you, he will Don't worry about letting you go such a long way, let him come here next time, you, a little girl, are still too dangerous."

Mu Yangling said with a smile: "It's not far at all. I came over the mountain. My footsteps are fast. I will arrive in three quarters of an hour. It takes more than two hours to walk on the road."

Ma Liu's body froze, and then he was furious, "Your father actually asked you to come over the mountain? You bastard, you, you are only nine years old. There are so many beasts in the mountain, and he is not afraid of you being picked up by wolves?" said Holding Mu Yangling in his arms, he checked her up and down and confirmed that she was intact, then he breathed a sigh of relief, got up and said, "Come on, my aunt will take you home, let's take the main road, is that mountain anyone can climb casually? Only middle-aged people dare to walk that road, and you need to recruit two or three people to do it. If you are a child walking the mountain road, your father is really unreliable."

Although the mountain at the back is already the tail of Kitchen Mountain, there are far fewer wild beasts than other places, and there are fewer ferocious beasts, but the howling of wolves can still be heard at night, and children in the village are not allowed to go into the mountain.

Ma Liushi didn't know how determined Mu Shi was to put his daughter into the mountains alone.
