LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 9 - Scallion Pancakes
Song Zhi was welcomed into the house.
The Bai family had already finished their dinner, and Bai Zhenggan was sitting by the kang bed, with wooden boards tied behind him, listening to the radio with a semiconductor radio; Red Bean Soybean was sitting at the corner of the kang table, doing his homework over the table.
Seeing Song Zhi, Bai Zhenggan was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked, “Xiao Song is here, have you eaten yet?”
Song Zhi nodded.
However, his stomach grunted in disbelief.
Soybean was young and shouted directly, “Big brother – I’m hungry! My stomach is rumbling!”
Song Zhi’s face immediately flushed, “I, I…”
Tan Fenghui used to discipline the children.
Bai Zhenggan mian raised his voice without changing his expression and shouted, “Mother Taozi, make a bowl of tea for Xiao Song!”
Tang Liren responded in the back room, and after a while she came out with a bowl of steaming tea.
– Lei Cha is a unique diet in the South. It is to fry tea, peanuts, sesame seeds, walnuts and many other dried fruits together, season with salt, smash them with a pestle and mortar, seal them, and rinse them with boiling water when eating.
Tang Liren smiled and said to Song Zhi: “Xiao Song, this is what Tao Tao’s aunt brought back when she went to visit relatives in the south. The taste is very different, try it now!”
Song Zhi, “Auntie, I…”
“Eat it while it’s hot!” After speaking, Tang Liren was busy again.
Song Zhi had no choice but to look at Bai Zhenggan, “Uncle, I…”
“you eat first!”
Song Zhi took a deep breath, “Thank you Uncle Bai, thank you Auntie!” Then he ate the bowl of Lei tea.
The dried fruit after frying is very high in calories, mixed with tea soup mixed with salt… The taste is very good and it is very filling. After a bowl of tea, the hunger in Song zhi’s stomach finally stopped.
During this process, someone has been stroking his back with his hands.
Song Zhi didn’t need to look back to know that it must be Bai Taotao.
Turning his head and looking, it really is a little beauty, who is kneeling behind him at the moment, holding a pot of wilted plants in one hand, and pressing the other hand on his vest?
She also gave him a sweet smile.
Song Zhi blushed inexplicably.
Bai Zhenggan said with a stern face: “Tao Tao, Xiao Song and I are talking about business, don’t make trouble!”
“I didn’t make trouble!”
Of course, Bai Taotao heard the meaning behind her father’s words – it was nothing more than wanting her to leave here, but she won’t! She had to do an experiment to see if she could transfer the spiritual energy she had drawn from Song Zhi to these seedlings!
The girl’s sweet anger made Song Zhi’s face turn red. He turned his head back and said in a low voice, “It’s okay, it’s okay, let her be, Uncle Bai.”
Bai Zhenggan has always been unable to take a foolish daughter, but now Song Zhi doesn’t mind it, so of course it’s better, so he asked cheerfully, “Xiao Song, what are you looking for? What’s the matter with you when you came to the village on the first day today? Can’t solve it? Don’t see Waiha and tell Uncle Bai!”
Song Zhi took a deep breath, “This is Uncle Bai…”
When Song Zhi and Bai Zhenggan were talking, Bai Taotao was holding a pot of grapevines and sat obediently behind Song Zhi. The flowerpot is an enamel cup with a broken bottom.
Bai Taotao clung to Song zhi’s back with one hand, and suddenly felt a steady stream of aura emanating from him, making her feel warm and comfortable.
To be honest, Bai Taotao is a little reluctant to pass the spiritual energy to the vines… reluctant!
But when I think of the deliciousness of the meat buns at noon…
Bai Taotao knows that the family is not rich, and if you want to eat well, you must first get rich. So she caressed Song zhi’s back with one hand, and held a leaf on the vine with the other, trying to transfer the spiritual energy to the vine.
【Good, it smells so good! 】A faint voice sounded.
Bai Taotao was a little surprised.
This is-
She looked around, but no one noticed the sound!
Looking down again, the grape seedlings planted in it seem to stretch the curled vines slightly?
Bai Taotao’s eyes widened.
After thinking about it, she let go.
– The leaves and vines that had just stretched out wilted a little listlessly.
Bai Taotao smiled and grabbed the leaves on the vine again.
【Oh, it’s so comfortable! 】The thin voice rang again.
Bai Taotao asked in her heart: [Grape, can you hear me? 】
【Hey, who are you? 】
【I am Peach. 】
【peach? Are you pulling my leaves with your hands? 】
【Yes. 】
【But are you human? ? ? 】
【I am human. 】
【How can human beings hear us? ? ? 】
[Because I am a peach. 】
The grapevine was stunned, [but you said you were human…]
【I am human! I’m… no, I used to be a peach and now I’m a man. 】 Bai Taotao explained.
Grapevine: @[emailprotected] What the **** are you talking about!
At this time, Song Zhi had already finished his tea, and he told Bai Zhenggan everything he had encountered: Jiang Hongzhi, the person in charge of the Zhiqing Station, did not welcome Song Zhi’s arrival, and neither accommodation nor meals were arranged. .
– As for living, Jiang Hongzhi insisted that there were no more bunks for male educated youths in the collective dormitory. If Song Zhi didn’t mind going to the dormitories of the female educated youth to build a bunk, he would have no opinion.
– Eat, Jiang Hongzhi said that the educated youth station is now implementing a work-point co-ownership system. But today is May 6th, and six days have passed in this month, so it is not easy to count. He asked Song Zhi to find a way to solve this month’s meals, and then joined the educated youth club in June.
When Bai Zhenggan heard this, he tapped the table with his knuckles in anger, “This Jiang Hongzhi!” Then he shouted, “Dongsheng, get my crutch ready, I’ll go to the Zhiqing Station to find Jiang Hongzhi!”
Tang Liren heard this and came out of the back room, “It’s dark this day, your waist is bad, don’t go out!”
“It’s okay! Dongsheng helps me walk slowly…”
Tang Liren frowned, “What if Dongsheng also falls?”
Song Zhi, “Uncle, why don’t you tell me where I can spend the night? I’ll deal with this one night first, and it’s not too late to deal with it tomorrow. The firewood shed, the grass shed, and the cow shed are fine. I’ll be fine.”
Bai Zhenggan, “How can this be done!”
Tang Liren, “Listen to me, Xiao Song, you are staying at our house tonight! Let your uncle help you solve this problem tomorrow!”
Song Zhi was a little uneasy, “Auntie, is this inappropriate?”
“It’s okay if I say yes!” Tang Liren said, “There are four rooms in our family, one for me and your uncle, one for Dongsheng and his daughter-in-law and children, three for their sisters, and one… Nan Sheng lives with his daughter-in-law, and now Nan Sheng has joined the army, and his daughter-in-law has returned to her mother’s house. Is it vacant? You will stay here for one night tonight, and I’ll talk about it tomorrow!”
The red bean and yellow bean sisters and brothers murmured at the side.
Tang Liren didn’t need to think about it, she knew that the pair of villains were discussing eating scallion pancakes at night, so she coughed twice.
The red bean and soybean immediately fell silent.
Song Zhi just felt that he owed the Bai family too much, so he stood up, “Thank you auntie, I still…”
Just as he stood up, Bai Taotao, who was sitting behind him and supporting his back with his hands, lost his support and fell down!
Song Zhi was startled, and subconsciously helped Bai Taotao, and asked again, “Does it matter?”
Bai Taotao was fine, but suddenly realized that he was leaving?
She nodded quickly, “…It’s important!” Then she immediately touched the porcelain, lying on the bed and refusing to get up, “Brother Song zhi, don’t leave!”
– She still has more than a dozen pots of seedlings waiting to absorb his spiritual energy!
Song Zhi: …
Red Beans and Soybeans also followed suit, so they hurriedly said, “Don’t go out, big brother, there are mountain ghosts at night!”, “When it’s dark, there are mountain ghosts who specialize in catching children! Big brother, don’t go!”
Tan Fenghui glared at the children, “Those are the four olds! Don’t talk about it in the future!”
Red Bean Soybean quickly closed his mouth.
After all, Soybean is still young and not very sensible, so he whispered: “…Our family wants to eat scallion pancakes at night, big brother don’t go!”
Song Zhi: …
Tan Fenghui suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
Bai Taotao, “Give brother Song Zhi a scallion pancake too!”
Red Bean, “Give eldest brother a scallion pancake too!”
Soybean, “Give eldest brother a scallion pancake too!”
…
Song zhi’s kindness was difficult, and he agreed to stay at Bai’s house tonight.
The Bai family didn’t hide it anymore.
Bai Lili raised the small stove that was lit up in front of the kang bed, put on a small frying pan, and then stared at the firewood.
Tang Liren washed her hands, pulled the dough that had been awake and kneaded into the chives and oil into a dough, pressed it into a round thin cake, and spread it out into a small pot.
Tan Fenghui carefully turned the scallion pancake with chopsticks.
Bai Zhenggan, Bai Dongsheng, and Song Zhi chatted while watching the women work.
While chatting, Song Zhi felt that there was something wrong with Bai Taotao behind him?
He turned his head and looked-
The little beauty was holding a seedling planted in a broken enamel cup, and slapped him **** his back? ? ?
Bai Dongsheng loves this girl the most, especially in front of him today, when the girl was almost hurt by Yan Naqian, he felt very guilty, and when he saw his naughty sister, he asked softly, “What are you doing, Taotao? “
Bai Taotao originally wanted to do something small, but I didn’t expect everyone’s attention to be focused on her?
She smiled embarrassingly, and simply said to Song zhi, “Brother Song zhi, can you shake hands with it?” As she spoke, she raised the pot of grapevines, almost hitting Song zhi’s face. .
Song Zhi: …
Tang Liren said angrily: “Tao Tao, this child! Originally looked like a normal child in the afternoon, why is it now… Hey, Xiao Song, don’t know Tao Tao in the same way, she is just a child, you Coax her, she doesn’t have any bad intentions.”
Song Zhi didn’t hate Bai Taotao in the first place, but he just didn’t know how to get along with her.
Bai Dongsheng helped his sister out of the siege first. He stretched out his hand and gently tucked the leaves on the vine, then let go, “Okay, I’ve already ‘shaked’ with Taotao’s friend.”
Bai Zhengqian also followed suit and shook hands with the grapevine, then the red beans and soybeans, and finally Tang Liren and the others came over and shook hands with the grapevine…
Only then did Song Zhi imitate the crowd, and he also picked up the poor little leaf on the vine.
Bai Taotao’s eyes suddenly glowed, and she carefully held the vine, and asked with heart: [Grape grapes, did you feel the spiritual energy just now? 】
The vines did not respond.
– Why is there no response?
When Bai Taotao fell into contemplation and grabbed the grapes with her own hands—
The thin and sharp voice penetrated into Bai Taotao’s ears again, […I still can’t figure it out, you are obviously human, why can you hear me? I’ve never seen someone as strange as you…]
Bai Taotao, [Grape, did you feel a special aura just now? 】
Grapevine, [What is Reiki? By the way, Taotao, were you the one who let a lot of people touch my leaves just now? I don’t like others touching me, I only like you, Tao Tao, you are so fragrant! 】
Bai Taotao smiled, but she was also a little helpless: it seems that even Song zhi, who is aura, can’t communicate directly with plants. Moreover, the plants in this world do not know the existence of aura.
The family members and Song Zhi were watching Bai Taotao, and seeing her playing with the pot of plants in a childish manner, with a look of high interest, they both sighed slightly in their hearts, and then continued to perform their duties.
The men chatted and talked about Song Zhi’s family situation.
As for Song Zhi’s family situation, it is simple and simple, and complicated and complicated.
– To put it simply, he and his father were the only ones left in his family, and his mother died shortly after giving birth to him.
– It’s complicated, because his father is a soldier and can’t take children, so he has been fostered in the home of his friend Guan Qingbai. Song Zhi grew up in Guanyuan and was not close to his father Song Xi.
What’s more complicated is that during a mission, the diligent guards around Song Xi sacrificed to protect him. Soon, Qin Weibing’s wife also died in depression, leaving behind a boy two years younger than Song Zhi, who was six years old at the time. In order to repay her kindness, Song Xi adopted the child and named it Song Sui.
In this way, Song Xi’s biological son, Song Zhi, has been living in the Guan family for more than ten years; instead Song Xi has been living in the military area with his adopted son.
Later, Song Zhi was admitted to university, graduated, and went to the countryside again, and then he came to Ruyi Village…
When Song Zhi said this, his tone was particularly cold, as if he was talking about other people’s affairs.
Bai Xingxing sat on the side and listened, thinking about how to contact Song Sui in advance…
After a while, the women baked the cakes, piled the cakes one by one, and placed them on a clean white cloth. Then they cleaned up the stoves, pots, etc., and closed the windows and doors, and the whole family sat around. Start dividing the pie together.
Each scallion pancake is about the size of the palm of an adult man, and it is not very thick, so the surface is very crispy. There are eggs, oil, minced salt and diced chives in the dough. The thick egg fragrance is mixed with the special aroma of wild onions and The slightly spicy taste is really delicious!
Each person was given three cakes.
The cake is too thin and not full, no matter how slowly and carefully Bai Taotao eats, it will not reach the point of “too full and unable to move”…
She finished eating the last piece of cake, and suddenly another half of the cake appeared in front of her? ? ?
Bai Taotao looked up and saw her father smiling and breaking a cake in half, handing half to her and half to Tang Liren.
“You eat, I’m so sick of it that I don’t want to eat it.” Bai Zhenggan said.
Bai Taotao hasn’t spoken yet—
Tang Liren said angrily: “If you don’t stop you, you can eat more than a dozen bowls of rice at a time, and you can’t eat these two cakes today?”
Bai Zhenggan said, “This time is different from the past. In the past, if you had to strike iron, you couldn’t shake the hammer if you weren’t full! Now I sit at home every day, and I can’t eat anymore!”
Tang Liren didn’t say a word, just took half of the cake that her husband handed over, and slapped him in his mouth—
Bai Zhenggan bites subconsciously.
Tang Liren said with a smile: “Now this half of the cake is all stained with your saliva. If you don’t eat it, who will eat it!”
Bai Zhenggan couldn’t help laughing bitterly, so he had to continue eating with half of the cake, and urged Bai Taotao, “Hurry up, dear!”
Bai Taotao thought about the half of the cake that her father handed over, and handed it to Tan Fenghui, “My sister-in-law will take it and give it to the eldest brother tomorrow morning. Break it up and eat it in the porridge. The eldest brother has to go to work, so he can’t go hungry. “
Bai Dongsheng was stunned.
Tan Fenghui was also very moved, “Oh, you eat yours! Just leave mine to him.”
“I didn’t give this to my eldest brother, it was given to my father.” Bai Taotao said.
Bai Dongsheng motioned to his wife, “Take the peach for you. It’s embarrassing for her, and she still misses me.”
Red beans and soybeans, “Dad, I’ll leave you a cake too”, “Dad, I’ve already taken a bite of this cake, can I keep it for you?”
Tang Liren hurriedly coaxed her grandchildren, “You eat your food!”
But the red beans and soybeans still kept half of the cakes, and the Bailili and Baixingxing also tore off half of the cakes, and they all said that they would be eaten the next day.
Song Zhi was silent for a long time.
He obviously has relatives, but he has been living in someone else’s house. But the atmosphere in the Guan family was not necessarily very good. Song Zhi had never experienced such a harmonious and loving family atmosphere like the Bai family, so he couldn’t help feeling a little sad.
