Chapter 22 Brother Yong doesn't know how to persuade?
Brother Yong didn't dare to say yes, and he didn't dare to say no... His father made repeated orders before, and even said that he didn't recognize him. How dare he admit it?But if he didn't admit it, he would lie to his father again.
Brother Yong is in a dilemma.
Seeing his hesitant look, Li Wang didn't understand anything. He was agitated for a while, and couldn't help covering his chest again: "Didn't I say that you are not allowed to look for it, why are you disobedient!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he coughed earth-shatteringly.
Brother Yong also felt obedient, and quickly poured water for his father, then knelt down with a "plop": "Father, drink some water... I know I was wrong, don't be angry."
Brother Yong had thought about it before sneaking off to Ershilipo, although his father was strict with his mouth, but every time he gave in, he would let go.
Sure enough, Li Wang calmed down the dryness in his throat, and stood up on crutches.Like many times before, he pointed to the unlettered tablet on the table in the main hall and said, "Don't kneel to me, you kneel to the tablet, when will you know you made a mistake, and when will you get up again."
Both of these are debts!
Brother Yong was honestly looking at the tablet, but his eyes sneaked in his father's direction: "Father, I know I was wrong."
"..." Li Wang suffocated: "Kneel if you know you are wrong!"
Brother Yong stuck out his tongue and knelt for a while, then writhed as if there were bugs on his body, and stretched out his hands from time to time to beat his waist and rub his legs, looking very uncomfortable with his waist sore and his legs weak.
Li Wang was just about to reprimand him, when he suddenly remembered that Ershilipo was so far away, he must have walked the mountain road for half a day when he came back... and he must be tired after two days in the wild.
Li Wang shook his head and said angrily: "Get up, it's getting late today, let's continue tomorrow!"
After speaking, he coughed twice.
"Oh." Brother Yong snickered and quickly got up from the ground.
His father always explained tomorrow, but in fact he would not be very angry tomorrow.If he acts coquettishly again, pleases and behaves, the matter will be over.
"Wait." Brother Yong was about to go back to his room when Li Wang stopped him again: "The stranger who stayed in our village was the one you rescued before? I heard from others that you even planted vegetables for him ?”
Brother Yong was startled, and said bravely: "It's him...Father, he gave the money."
Li Wang frowned: "Why didn't you tell me before?"
"It's no big deal." Brother Yong's eyes flickered: "Father, Cheng Duo never mentioned the tiger bone whistle at all, he didn't know."
Li Wang observed Brother Yong's expression calmly, and found that when he mentioned the stranger, there was no fear on his face, but a sense of familiarity in his words.
Li Wang felt something in his heart: "He gave you the chicken legs and bamboo rat meat you brought back, right?"
"En." Brother Yong nodded anxiously, not knowing what his father would say next.
But Li Wang didn't say anything, remained silent for a while, and only urged him to go back to his room to sleep: "Okay, go to bed early."
But just as Brother Yong was about to close the door, he pretended to casually add: "The medicine you put on your face, don't use it after a while."
"father?"
Li Wang sighed, and turned around as if talking to himself: "You are not young anymore, Brother Feng is half a year younger than you, and now he is engaged..."
Those two rebellious sons were missing, he didn't want to think about what happened to them, so he could only focus on Brother Yong for the time being.
And the most important thing for Brother Yong now is to find a good family...
In fact, if he hadn't heard Li Sanye talk about Cheng Duo, he would definitely object to Brother Yong's association with him.However, according to Mr. Li, Cheng Duo was young and strong, with great strength, and he could support himself by hunting alone.
He also went to see the house in the col. The roof was covered with thick wheat stalks, and the girders and pillars were brand new. Although the wall was too high for him to see inside, he also knew that the people who built the house worked hard.
Cheng Duo also knows how to repay his kindness. He gave money to him before, and then let Brother Yong eat and take it when he went to work. It can be said to be very kind.
Mr. Li also said that he is reasonable and has a good character.
Li Wang compared the unmarried men from the surrounding villages one by one, and found that Cheng Duo was actually a good match except for the lack of land...
Of course, Li Wang didn't know that the man was left by Mr. Li, and he would definitely say good things about Cheng Duo to the outside world.Besides, Li Wang didn't ask specifically, but just listened to it when everyone was chatting, and it was impossible for Mr. Li to mention Cheng Duo's missing marriage for no reason.
How could Li Wang ask?Their family is a brother, and they didn't say anything. It's impossible for him to inquire about and ruin his brother's reputation.
The next day, Brother Yong got up early and went into the kitchen to cook a hearty breakfast for his father, to please him and make him forget about his sneaking to Shilipo.
Unexpectedly, his father got up earlier than him. Not only that, he also made corn mush and scalded a bowl of wild vegetables.
The pickles have been prepared a long time ago, chopped and mixed with a few drops of soybean oil, it is just right for corn paste.
Seeing Brother Yong poking his head at the door of the kitchen, Li Wang didn't dare to come in, so he glanced back at him: "Get up? Hurry up and wash up, it's time to eat."
It looked the same as usual.
"Okay!" Brother Yong was relieved, and responded loudly, then took the washbasin, and ran to the broken water tank in the yard to wash.
The two had breakfast together, Li Wang carried the bamboo basket on his front foot and went out, and Brother Yong also ran away on the back foot.
He didn't know that after he went out, Li Wang, who had already gone out, turned around again, stood facing the empty courtyard door for a long time, sighed, and limped away.
Brother Yong arrived at Cheng Duo's house, and Cheng Duo had just woken up.Seeing Brother Yong, he yawned without image: "It's just in time, spread some pancakes for breakfast for me, I want pure meat stuffing!"
He bought pork and flour yesterday, and slept in bed last night, already thinking about what to eat this morning.
Brother Yong is already very happy when he thinks that he and his father ate corn mush. Cheng Duo will eat oily pancakes in the morning, and he also specifically stated that he wants pure meat stuffing... What a luxury!
He stuck out his tongue at Cheng Duo's back, then turned around and obediently entered the kitchen.Spreading the pancakes is very simple. Brother Yong mixed the noodles and cut another piece of pork to make the meat stuffing.
Cheng Duo's kitchen is full of seasonings, which were bought from the shopkeeper Zhou before. Brother Yong used it to cook some time ago, and now he is very proficient in it.When he came, he brought a basket of vegetables, which contained green onions, chopped green onions and put them in, and quickly prepared the meat stuffing.
He fried nine patties in one go, took them out and served them to Cheng Duo, and turned around to boil suet again.
Pork suet is very simple to cook. Wash it and cut it into small pieces, put it in a pot, mix it with a ladle of water to submerge the lard, and then boil it slowly.This process is a test of patience. The heat should not be too high or too low, and the foam should be skimmed off from time to time between cooking the lard.
Boil until the water in the pot is completely dry, and the lard suet is fried until it is browned and crispy, and the room is full of lard fragrance. Then put a little salt in the clay pot, and the lard scooped out is fragrant and translucent.
Cheng Duo has been in ancient times for so long, and it was the first time he opened his mouth to eat. He accidentally ate five meatloaf, and still felt that he still couldn't get enough of it.
He glanced at the four left for Brother Yong, didn't move, and ran to the kitchen following the scent.Seeing the steaming, browned and crispy lard residue just picked up, I couldn't resist mixing a bowl with salt.
"How is it? Is it delicious?" Brother Yong was a little worried about his skills as it was the first time he boiled so much pork suet.
Cheng Duo conveniently stuffed a piece into his mouth: "Taste it yourself."
Brother Yong was stunned for a moment, chewing the piece of lard residue slowly, only when Cheng Duo forgot his brother's identity again, he didn't care, turned his head and continued to scoop the lard in the pot.
Little did he know, Cheng Duo, who was behind him, twisted the fingertips that touched his little brother's soft lips, feeling a little strange in his heart...
Cheng Duo is now full of food and drink, and inadvertently took advantage of it, and his long-lost conscience finally comes online.Seeing that Brother Yong was sweating, he stepped forward and snatched the spatula from his hand without even thinking about it, and then handed him the bowl of lard residue that had just been mixed and hadn't been touched much: "I Come to scoop, you go to the side to eat."
Brother Yong accidentally snatched the spatula and stuffed a bowl of lard residue in his hand. He said worriedly, "Can you do it? Don't spill it..."
As soon as the words fell, Cheng Duo readily scooped up a large spatula, and when filling it into the earthen pot, a lot of it flowed down the spatula onto the stove.
Brother Yong's eyebrows twitched when he saw it: "Slow down, it's all spilled outside!"
"It's okay, I only spilled a little." Cheng Duo said indifferently.
Brother Yong couldn't stand it anymore: "Forget it, I'll do it myself and return the spatula to me!"
As he said, he put down the bowl of lard residue, and went forward to grab Cheng Duo's spatula.
Cheng Duo was tall and burly, and if he raised the spatula up a little bit, Brother Yong couldn't touch it, so he could only jump weakly: "Give me back the spatula!"
While blocking him with his hands, Cheng Duo said confidently: "It was the first time for me, and I didn't master the strength well...Spoop a little less later, so I won't sprinkle it again!"
"I'm almost done scooping!" This man didn't come to help, he came to make trouble.
Although Cheng Duo urged Brother Yong to eat his own, he still kept his eyes on the oil tank, and he didn't even taste the lard residue in his mouth.
Because he was worried that Li Wang would go back early, Brother Yong hurried back after cooking the lard.
He cooked corn mush again at noon, and then heated up the meatloaf he brought back from Cheng Duo.
Li Wang didn't even ask about this, but Brother Yong himself felt guilty and lowered his head to explain: "This meatloaf was delivered yesterday morning at the inn where I stayed in Ershilipo, I was not willing to eat it, so I brought it back... ..."
He wasn't lying either, the inn did send corn cakes, but he and Cheng Duo ate them all.
Li Wang took a glance at something that was obviously just made today, and reaffirmed that Cheng Duo is a good person.When he saw that it was full of minced meat, he became astonished again: Why doesn't Brother Yong know how to persuade him?
If you can't live like this, if Brother Yong can't persuade you, what will you do in the future?
