After a while, the three people in the kitchen started to get busy.
Especially the little fish that was only the size of a bean, but it was surprisingly familiar with the work.
Liu Fugui asked casually as he watched her skillfully light the stove.
"Girl, who taught you this?”
Xiao Yezi used her dark little hand to fiddle with the hair on her face, but it didn't hurt to scratch her already colorful cat-like face even more.
"Fourth Aunt taught me."
"Her fourth aunt would usually bring her to pick up firewood, add fuel to the fire, and cut pig grass.
Occasionally, when she's hungry, I'll give her some…"
Liu Hongshan was busy with his work, but his face turned strange.
Liu Fugui was even more curious.
"Give her something?"
However, Xiao Yezi's face revealed an innocent smile and was even filled with gratitude.
"Piggy, eat until you're full!"
Liu Fugui was stunned when he heard Xiao Yezi's answer. Then, his face darkened.
A pot of sticky, coarse, and disgusting stuff immediately appeared in his mind.
Wasn't that pig feed?!
Liu Hongshan looked at Liu Fugui's darkened face and then at Xiao Yezi, who was concentrating on adding firewood. He looked a little embarrassed.
"That thing can at least fill her stomach and make her not picky…
In the future…in the future, even if I die, she…she can still live, right?”
"Besides, who can she blame? Isn't it her mother?
She was clearly not in good health, but in order to stay in our family, she insisted on giving birth to your son!
In the end, not only did she give birth to a girl, but she also died…"
The more Liu Hongshan spoke, the angrier he became. Liu Fugui added more water to the pot and looked at his daughter, who was silently adding firewood with her head lowered. He quickly interrupted him,
"Alright, Grandpa, don't mention these things anymore. I'll take care of you and Little Yezi.”
Liu Hongshan glanced at Liu Fugui and didn't say anything else. He carried the dustpan into the steamer to catch the wet cornflour.
Liu Fugui patted Xiao Yezi's head and began to deal with the rabbit.
Although the original owner's memory of Xiao Yezi's mother was already blurry, he was still a little confused.
However, he could still piece together a rough idea from the corners.
Back then, when Liu Hongshan was looking for a wife for the Host, the matchmaker had made a lot of noise about the girl.
Beautiful, healthy, fertile.
The more Liu Hongshan listened, the more satisfied he became. He immediately used the three hundred yuan that he had saved up from carrying his eldest son for many years as a betrothal gift for Liu Fugui to marry his granddaughter-in-law.
However, after they got married, they found out that their granddaughter-in-law was actually a sickly person. Not only could she not work, but she also had to take medicine every day.
Liu Hongshan would definitely not be happy and wanted to send her back.
After all, Liu Fugui was a fool, and he couldn't even take care of him. If another sickly person came, it would be even worse.
However, the bride's family was also thick-skinned.
If she didn't want her, the betrothal gift wouldn't be returned either. She said that a married daughter was like water poured out.
Later, this woman might have listened to her family and ignored her weak body and Liu Hongshan's objection.
She was pregnant with Liu Fugui's child after being married for less than two months. She thought that she would not be chased away if she had a son.
In the end, Xiao Yezi passed away before she could even find out the gender of her child.
Although Liu Hongshan was very disgusted with this great-granddaughter who was forced into his hands,
He was also shameless enough to borrow a mouthful of milk from the east and some paste from the west.
She was also helping Liu Fugui to raise Little Yezi behind his back.
It was not easy.
Liu Fugui could not help but sigh.
"Daddi, the water is boiling!"
A childish voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Alright, I'm coming!"
Liu Fugui replied with a smile. He scooped the boiling water from the pot into the porcelain basin and prepared to deal with the rabbit.
Xiao Yezi stood at the side curiously.
"Daddi, can Little Yezi help?"
Liu Fugui smiled.
"I don't need you for this.”
Xiao Yezi saw that Liu Fugui wouldn't let her, so she immediately sat back in front of the stove obediently and didn't cause any more trouble.
In less than ten minutes, Liu Fugui skillfully cleaned the rabbit, diced it, marinated it, chopped the garlic, and cut the ginger. Everything was in order.
Liu Hongshan was shocked by his grandson's quick movements.
The ancestor of the Liu family had shown his great spirit!
Not only was his eldest grandson not stupid, but his ability to live had also improved by leaps and bounds!
If not for his eldest grandson, he would have knelt down and kowtowed to his ancestors!
Liu Fugui was completely oblivious to the old man's excitement.
He had almost finished preparing the rabbit meat and the ingredients. When the pot was hot, he took out a palm-sized porcelain jar from the basket. It was filled with white pork fat.
There was no grain control office on the street. Liu Fugui had spent a huge sum of money to buy the two catties of pig fat from the chubby boy's mother. He would have to return the jar to her when the time came.
Originally, there was cheaper vegetable oil, but this was for his family to eat, so he couldn't save it.
He picked up the spoon, scooped a large spoonful of pork fat, and threw it into the hot pot. After a while, a unique fragrance of pork fat floated out.
After the oil was heated up, Liu Fugui did not delay. He placed the chopped rabbit meat into the pot and stir-fried it to produce a fragrant smell.
He added in onions, ginger, and garlic and stir-fried them until fragrant.
Then, he poured in dried chili and pepper. He stir-fried them over high heat, and a burst of fragrance burst out.
Xiao Yezi, who had never tasted meat before, stood up curiously when she smelled the fragrance. She stood on her tiptoes and looked into the pot, but because she was too short, she could not see what was in the pot.
"Papa, the rabbit meat smells so good!"
Liu Fugui was stir-frying the meat in the pot. When he heard Xiao Yezi's voice, the corners of his mouth unconsciously revealed a smile.
"When it's done, I'll let you have a taste.”
As soon as Liu Fugui finished speaking, Xiao Yezi's excited voice could be heard.
"Good!"
Not to mention Little Yezi, even Liu Hongshan was attracted by the fragrance and stood beside the stove, looking at it eagerly.
Soon, a pot of fragrant stir-fried rabbit meat was ready.
Liu Fugui picked a piece and blew on it before handing it to Xiao Yezi, who was almost sticking to the stove.
"Come, help Dad taste the saltiness."
Xiao Yezi looked at the meat that was still steaming and quickly reached out to take it. She placed it in front of her and breathed, then eagerly sent it into her mouth.
Perhaps it was because it was still a little hot, the little fellow breathed out while chewing.
After chewing two mouthfuls and tasting the taste, his eyes immediately widened.
"Daddi, it's very, delicious!"
Liu Fugui couldn't help but laugh.
This should be how a child at this age should look like.
Liu Hongshan looked at the expression on his granddaughter's face and couldn't help but smack his lips.
The next moment, a piece of steaming hot meat suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Grandpa, do you want to try it too?"
Liu Fugui teased.
"Cough, cough, cough…I'm not a child. I'll eat it when it's served.”
A few minutes later.
The old man's surprised exclamation came from the kitchen.
"Aiyaya, this rabbit meat tastes really good!”
Before twelve o'clock, the family of three sat down at the square table and officially started eating.
On a small table in the west room, a table of sumptuous dishes was served.
Dry-fried rabbit meat, spicy rabbit head, shiny fried potatoes, fried vegetables, and pickled cabbage soup.
Xiao Yezi had been craving for it for a long time. Liu Fugui filled her small bowl with half a bowl of rice and scooped a spoonful of rabbit meat.
The little fellow held the chopsticks unskillfully and put the hot rice noodles into his mouth with the rabbit meat.
"Wow! Hot rice, hot meat, delicious!"
Xiao Yezi was breathing hot air as she pointed at the hot food in her bowl, muttering contentedly and happily.
Liu Fugui looked at the satisfied expression on the little girl's face and felt a sense of relief. He reached out and patted her head.
"Eat slowly, don't choke."
"Yes!"
Xiao Yezi replied, then lowered her head and started to dig into the rice, her cheeks immediately bulging.
Ah, this…
Liu Fugui was speechless.
Liu Hongshan looked at the dishes on the table, and his eyes turned red.
To be able to see her eldest grandson return to normal in the last few months of her life, her great-granddaughter would not starve to death.
He could die with no regrets!
"Grandpa, eat."
Liu Fugui quickly put meat and vegetables into Liu Hongshan's bowl.
"Hey! Alright, eat!"
Liu Hongshan ate a mouthful of meat and a mouthful of rice. His old face was filled with satisfaction.
His eldest grandson's cooking was really fragrant!
Seeing that the two of them were eating so happily, Liu Fugui also took a few mouthfuls of noodles.
This smell…Ugh.
He could only say that it was a long story…
It was stuck in his throat.
He swallowed the noodles in his mouth with difficulty and said to the two people beside him,
"Grandpa, Xiao Yezi, when the market is held in town the day after tomorrow, I will go to town to buy rice. From now on, our family will eat rice every day!”
This wasn't difficult for him.
Even in this ravine, he had a hundred ways to earn money.
When Xiao Yezi heard Liu Fugui's words, her face was filled with adorableness.
What was rice?
Liu Hongshan looked at his silly grandson and wiped the rice from the corner of his mouth.
"What are you thinking, brat? How expensive was rice?
It was already good enough to eat earth dragon mixed with sand during the new year!”
