Chapter 4 1936 Duck Collection - Laba Congee

Children who are just learning to call Dad, older children who can go out to call rickshaws, and old children with many white mustaches on their mouths, when it comes to Laba porridge, whoever does not say it immediately has a sweet and greasy feeling.Combine millet, rice beans, dates, chestnuts, sugar, and peanut kernels together and cook them in a pot, and let it boil in the pot as if sighing. Just look at the way it sighs, smell the fragrance, It's enough to swallow more than three mouthfuls of saliva, not to mention that there are big bowls and big spoons stuffed into the mouth! Ba'er, who lives in Fang's compound, is going crazy with joy today.Going in and out of the stove alone, I saw the big pot of sighing porridge. The bowls had been prepared neatly by the stove for a long time, but his mother always said it was still early.

His mother was stirring the porridge with a spatula.The porridge in the pot also seemed to be getting thicker. "Mom, mom, when will it be..." "It's going to be night!" In fact, the night the mother said is not after the lights are on.But Ba'er's eyes turned red when he heard such relaxed words.In the pot, the weak sigh continued. "Then I'm hungry!" Ba'er looked like he was about to cry. "If you're hungry, don't eat until the sun goes down." If you are hungry, you will not eat until the sun goes down.You think, mother's order, Ba'er, who is not qualified to watch sheep, can find any way to resist?And what Ba'er said about hunger is not reliable, but because as soon as he entered the stove, he heard something sighing in the pot and seemed to be moaning, and he was eager to taste this strange thing out of curiosity.

"Mom, mom, wait a minute, I want to eat three bowls! We only allow elder brother to eat one bowl. Neither elder brother nor father can eat sweet things, we can just eat sweet things... Mom, mom, I will eat three bowls too Eat three bowls, elder brother and father are only allowed to eat one bowl each; there are eight bowls in total, right?" "Yes! My son is right." "Otherwise I will eat three and a half bowls, and you will eat two and a half bowls..." "Bu..." Guo Nei sighed again.Ba'er turned around. Ba'er, who was much shorter than the stove, looked back and saw a faint puff of smoke rushing upwards!

Everything in the pot, here in Ba'er, I can only guess... the chestnuts will be so rotten that I can't recognize them, the red rice beans will be boiled so thoroughly that they are swollen like they are suffering from bloating, and the peanut kernels It's always a face-to-face when you eat it!The jujube must be three or four times bigger—if the real dried red dates are that big, it would be wonderful!If there is too much sugar, it will have crusts... "Mom, Mom, you can pick me up and have a look!" So Mom picked him up as Ba'er begged. "Evil..." He shouted in surprise, everything in the pot had entered his eyes.

It must be said that it was strange, he knew that the chestnuts fell into the pot and would soon have to be crushed.He had seen a bunch of chestnuts fall into a pot of chicken stew and soon melt away.Red rice beans cause edema, which is also a common thing when cooking porridge. It goes without saying that Peanut Ren'er took off his red coat.The rice crust is just a circle around the edge of the pot.In short, everything turned out as he guessed, but he didn't expect that the color of the porridge today was dark brown. "Why, it's black!" Ba'er also thought of the dirty water in the dye vat at the same time.

"There are too many jujubes and red beans." The result of Mom's explanation was that she picked up a very large and scary red date and gave it to Ba'er. Although there are a little more dates and rice beans, everyone agrees that the taste is much better than ordinary porridge. Beside the night dinner table, Ba'er, who leaned against his mother, was standing sideways, his stomach had already become a small drum.If it's a hot day, it's inevitable that I'll have to worry about my fucking hands again.The two chopsticks on the table beside him were romantically arranged in a cross.The half-bowl of stale bacon in the big blue and white bowl on the table, Ba'er's parents couldn't help it not come.

"Mom, mom, you should call Haba out! I hate it so much, I'm going to crawl under other people's feet!" If it wasn't for the fact that Ba'er had discarded a lot of bacon, skin and bones at his feet, Ha Ba wouldn't be so affectionate with him alone. "Ha Ba, I want you to go out, get lost..." Then a big bone was thrown on the ground, Ha Ba was finally the governor, and went outside to chew the bone with his mouth in his mouth. "If you don't know how to be funny, give it a few kicks!" Ba'er's father said with a smile to Ba'er after seeing the harpy going out with its tail wagging.

In fact, if Ba'er is really required to execute the words "reward him for a few feet", wouldn't it be empty?Let your baby kick it hard a few more times, let your baby use all its strength to feed, naughty Haba, isn't it still crouching under the table and chewing what it wants to chew? Because the words "give it a few feet" reminded Ba'er's mother of many things about his father's protection of the dog. "Give it a few kicks. When you saw it bullying Ba'er, when would you be willing to kick it? It's like an eight-treasure spirit. It's so funny to raise it. It comes under the table every time you eat, and it's even worse when you drive it out." You have to lose a bone, but you are so used to it!" This was obviously teasing Ba'er's father.

"Really, Mom, it even snatched my duck's head." In fact, this can only be blamed on Ba'er's loose hand that time.However, Ba'er uses this to help his mother speak ill of Ha Ba. "Then I'll bring Haba to the field tomorrow, and I won't let him play with you anymore." If Ba'er's father's declaration is true, Ba'er will be lonely from now on. However, Ba'er knew that his father would not bring the dog to the field, so he was not discouraged. "Let him take it. My baby doesn't know how to play by himself. Do we have to have a dog to accompany him?" The following words turned to my father, "Take it to avoid fighting with Ba'er for food every day!"

"You only hate Ha Ba, how can Ha Ba get Xiao Huang from the Liang family?" "If Xiao Huang was in my house, I would have called someone to beat him to death and sell him to a soup pot shop." Ba'er's mother blushed when she said that! How does Xiao Huang look like, is it worthy of Ba'er's father to compare it with Ha Ba?It was a guard dog of the Liang family next door, and it had a ruthless mouth that would bite anyone it saw.Because of this dog, the Liang family's acquaintances are afraid to come to the door.But when Ba'er's mother often passed Liang's house, the dog seemed to be very polite, barked twice and walked away.Ba'er's mother thought this was a sign of mutual understanding, so she was not as wary of the dog as others were.Last confinement, for Ba'er's eighth birthday, Ba'er's mother went to Liang's house to borrow the rice cakes. After entering the door, Xiao Huang suddenly changed her usual attitude, as if she didn't admit it, and threw her thigh tendon Take a bite and walk away.This can only be blamed on herself, the bamboo bump that Xiao Huang has never seen her bump on her head.What was behind was that Liang Siwu artificially applied hemostatic medicine and made rice noodles.When he turned around, Ba'er's mother told his father one by one, and said that the beast couldn't even recognize the people he met every day, so he really should be beaten to death!So soon, Ba'er's father found a word to protect his beloved Harper.

For example, when Ha Ba was naughty enough to make Ba'er's mother angry, Ba'er's father said, "It's worse than Liang's Xiao Huang!" "Then you like Xiao Huang?" "It's a pity that Ha Ba can't bite People!" It is enough to prove that although this harpy is naughty, it is innocent and docile. Naturally, there is a hint of making my grandma happy in this kind of relief. Originally, Xiao Huang gave her more fright than pain that time. Please think about it, holding a big bump with both hands, and that beast suddenly jumped up and gnawed on your tendon, how could it not make people angry? ?If Ha Ba of Ba'er's family was as naughty as Xiao Huang, I'm afraid that Ba'er's father would no longer ask grandma for advice, and he would have already made a deal with Uncle Yang, who beat the dog. Ba'er casually turned his head to the foot of the door curtain, two white ears and a pair of big eyes reappeared at the foot of the door curtain.Ha Ba seemed to be timid in his heart, he only put his head into the room to see the scenery inside, and he seemed embarrassed (the tail was also wagging). "Bastard..." Passing by Ba'er yelling in a very sensible manner, Ha Ba's big head disappeared. However, Ba'er knew that Ha Ba was still wandering outside the curtain at this time.
