Chapter 10 Dabao recognizes his father
Grandma Wang’s old hens are quite fat. One is put in a casserole to stew chicken soup. It will replenish the body of the injured young officer tomorrow, and the other just happens to be a beggar for the children today. chicken.
She has traveled to ancient times, why can't she experience the fun of ancient people? Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but swallow her saliva when she thought of how to eat beggar's chicken.
Just do it, peel off all the chicken feathers, then take out the internal organs of the chicken, wash them, stuff them with some peppercorns and salt, wrap a layer of lotus leaves on the outside, wrap them in mud, and then put them in the fire to start baking. .
When the time came, the fragrance of the beggar's chicken began to come out. The two children clapped their hands happily when they smelled the chicken. Su Xiaoxiao pried the beggar's chicken open and peeled it off with her bare hands. All the soil was peeled off, leaving only the chicken. Next comes the tender chicken inside.
Dabao and Xiaobao came over quickly. Su Xiaoxiao tore off a small piece and put it in her mouth. It was smooth and tender in the mouth, and it was delicious. It was a success.
The meat of this old hen is firm and really delicious. Except for not having so much seasoning, everything else is perfect.
Su Xiaoxiao pulled off a chicken leg, then handed it to Dabao's hand, and pulled the other chicken leg to Xiaobao.
"Eat quickly, you two are so greedy!"
The two children ate beggar's chicken for the first time. They clapped their hands happily and soon turned into little cat faces.
Su Xiaoxiao also ate very well. She quickly thought of the patch of wild chrysanthemums she saw in the back mountain today. In her eyes, the patch of wild chrysanthemums was like a large area of real gold and silver.
After eating and drinking enough, she stewed the old hen in a casserole. She could stew it overnight and feed it to the young officer in the morning.
After the two children went to bed early, she took a look at the young officer's condition and found that his expression gradually softened and his face was no longer feverish.
Su Xiaoxiao wiped the sweat from his face, looked at his young face and said, "The fever will be gone tomorrow. Fortunately, you met me today, otherwise..."
Before Su Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she found that her hand was grabbed by the young officer's outstretched hand.
That hand was warm and generous, wrapping Su Xiaoxiao's hand.
"Are you awake?"
Su Xiaoxiao was very surprised, but found that the young officer did not open her eyes, and the hand that was holding her dropped again.
Su Xiaoxiao was frightened, thinking he was coming back to his former glory? I quickly felt his breath and listened to his heartbeat, and found that everything was normal.
"But who is this person? Why do I feel so familiar?"
After thinking about it, Su Xiaoxiao lay down next to the young officer and fell asleep.
When I woke up this night, my arms were numb from sleep.
She quickly went to see the chicken soup on the stove. Fortunately, after a night of simmering, when she opened the lid of the casserole, the chicken soup was fragrant and had a golden sheen on it.
Su Xiaoxiao only put a little salt and no other seasonings.
Dabao and Xiaobao also got up, rubbing their eyes when Su Xiaoxiao called them up to wash up.
"Mom, what smells so good?"
Dabao asked Su Xiaoxiao while swallowing his saliva.
"This is chicken soup cooked for that brother, you can't drink it secretly!"
"Oh, is he awake?"
Dabao walked over at this time and wanted to take a look at the lying officer, but found that the man was missing!
“Mom, that person is missing!”
Su Xiaoxiao was serving soup in the kitchen. She was so frightened when she heard it. She put down the soup bowl and returned to the back room to see that the place where the man was lying on the kang was empty, and the quilts were piled aside.
"We shouldn't have gone far..."
Su Xiaoxiao felt that the quilt was still hot, and she hurriedly chased out the door, only to find the man lying motionless on the fence outside her home.
"Why are you running around when your injuries are not healed?"
Su Xiaoxiao went over and helped him up from the ground. The young officer said nothing. Su Xiaoxiao saw a pair of beautiful starry eyes and a very cold gaze directed at her.
Su Xiaoxiao wondered, why do you look at your savior like this?
Amidst the lightning and flint, Su Xiaoxiao unexpectedly saw the cold light in the man's hand stabbing towards her heart.
Su Xiaoxiao quickly dodged, then grabbed the man's wrist and found that he was holding a pair of scissors, which belonged to their family.
"You are so ignorant. I am your savior, and you still stab me with scissors?"
The young officer was holding his wound, with big beads of sweat on his face. It seemed that the wound had reopened due to the force he had just used.
The gauze on the shoulder could see blood coming out. Su Xiaoxiao looked at his face twisted in pain, feeling angry and distressed.
She grabbed the scissors and dragged the young officer back into the house.
Seeing the officer's face turned pale, Su Xiaoxiao quickly helped the man lie down and said softly to him: "Let me tell you, there are two children at home. Don't scare them. If you dare to run around again, I will give you a discount." legs!”
The young officer closed his eyes again and said nothing.
Su Xiaoxiao brought the chicken soup over and fed it to the man, "Drink it!"
The man kept his mouth closed but did not open it. Su Xiaoxiao went over to pry his mouth open and fed him to drink bit by bit.
"This is chicken soup to supplement nutrition, not poison. You see your lips are split and you haven't eaten for a few days, right? But the stab you gave me with the scissors just now was quite strong."
The young officer didn't want to drink it but had no choice but to be forced to drink half a bowl of chicken soup by Su Xiaoxiao.
After Dabao and Xiaobao came in after washing up, Dabao looked at the man and suddenly froze, and then he shouted: "Daddy..."
Dabao rushed over, jumped on the man and refused to let go.
The young officer opened his eyes and saw Dabao in front of him. He felt dazed for a moment, but there was an incredible look on his face.
Xiaobao timidly called this man's father beside him. Su Xiaoxiao took a look, what's going on? Call me daddy?
“Dabao, did you admit the wrong person?”
Su Xiaoxiao wanted to tell them that their father Liu Xiaozhuang had died on the front line, and his belongings had been returned home by the army.
It's just this matter, because the children are still young, so I didn't tell them.
"He's not your father. He must be the wrong person. You see, he doesn't even recognize you."
Why do you call me daddy when you're a man?
There was a trace of pain on the young officer's handsome face. He stared blankly at Dabao in front of him, and suddenly he covered his head, as if he was in pain.
"Stop pestering him and go over and have breakfast."
Dabao and Xiaobao, who didn't know what was going on, both looked confused. Dabao still looked in disbelief and was pulled away by Su Xiaoxiao.
"Don't disturb his rest, be obedient, and go eat!"
Su Xiaoxiao glanced thoughtfully at the man lying on the kang, then turned around and closed the door to the inner room.
Breakfast was spent happily amid the scolding sounds of the neighbor Granny Wang.
"What kind of unscrupulous guy steals our chickens? You're shameless. If I catch you, I won't let you go..."
"Mom, what's wrong with Granny Wang? Are you cursing people so early in the morning?"
"Don't worry about her. She ate too much in the morning and has nothing to do to practice her voice!"
