Chapter 99 Candied Haws
Song Wei was stunned for only a few seconds before he saw Lin Zhen's very lively back jumping up and down to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
She blinked her eyes, never expecting that Heidan’s brother, a man who looked like a rough guy, could actually have the potential to be a househusband.
Then the househusband shouted loudly outside.
"What are you doing, Black Egg? Go wipe the table outside with a rag and sweep the floor."
Lin Zhen washed the dishes and ordered his younger brother around.
But the little black egg was also happy, and he wiped the table and swept the floor with a broom.
And he had the same idea as his brother: "Sister Song, sit over there and I will be able to sweep the floor quickly."
Song Wei looked around. I didn’t have anything to do myself, so I just went and brought in the hawthorns.
She was afraid that Lin Zhen would not have any sugar when she moved in here, so she brought some sugar with her.
Boil the white sugar into syrup, then put the hawthorns strung into a string with a wooden sign into the syrup evenly in a circle.
But before that, the wood must be chipped and signed.
Lin Zhen was sitting on a stool, holding a chopper in his hand and splitting a piece of wood of moderate length with a few strokes, and finally split it into small sticks of even size.
Song Wei and Hei Dan sat on the other side, using knives to cut small wooden sticks into signatures, and then skewered candied haws.
They picked a lot of candied haws berries from the mountain. There were five candied haws skewers on each stick, so they only made about 20 skewers, too many to finish.
Lin Zhen boiled the syrup as Song Wei said and went to sugar-coat the candied haws.
Song Wei held a bundle of wheat straw stalks and planted a target in the yard.
She was very strong and tied the straw target firmly without much effort.
Hei Dan ran in both directions. One moment he ran to the kitchen like a greedy dog to watch his brother make candied haws, and the next moment he ran to the yard to accompany Song Wei.
When Song Wei finished setting up the straw target, he happily followed her to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Lin Zhen's syrup has been boiled, and his big hand is holding the skewered candied haws and coating them with sugar.
The red hawthorns are evenly wrapped in the sweet syrup and become bright immediately. Just looking at them is delicious.
Heidan was sniffing hard next to him. The child simply couldn’t resist the sweet candy.
"Are you okay, brother, are you okay..."
Although we haven't seen each other for a few years, perhaps due to blood and family ties, Heidan got to know Lin Zhen in just a few days. Mixed.
Lin Zhen was impatient with his noise.
"Come on, why are you so greedy after just having breakfast?"
Then he eagerly handed the sugar-coated candied haws to Song Wei, baring his big white teeth.
"Do you think this will work? You can eat the first bunch."
Heidan looked at his brother in disbelief.
Brother, why do you still have two faces?
Song Wei: "You have to wait until the syrup cools down before it tastes good."
She easily put the string of candied haws on the target.
After that, Lin Zhen sugar-coated the candied haws on a stick, and Song Wei inserted the candied haws on the grass target.
When all the candied haws are finished, there is still some syrup left.
Song Wei had a flash of inspiration: "Let's paint these sugar paintings."
She rolled up her sleeves and leaned over, scooped out a spoonful of syrup with a small spoon, and then placed a small wooden stick on the clean wooden board. stick and started to draw.
She can't cook, but she can still draw some simple things.
So under the widened eyes of the two brothers, Song Wei drew a puppy.
Although it is simple, Hei Dan can spot it at a glance.
"It's a puppy!"
He was so happy, with excitement and surprise in his voice. While the syrup was cooling down, Song Wei seriously drew other things.
Lin Zhen stopped looking at the sugar paintings, and instead focused his gaze on her side face, which was slightly lowered and very serious.
The girl who was much shorter than him was small in his eyes, white and soft, but she exuded a power that was hard to shake.
It was the first time that Lin Zhen met such a girl. His limited knowledge did not know how to describe this feeling. It was like a white flower that he had seen before, rooted on a cliff full of rocks.
“What are you looking at?”
Song Wei turned her head and met his eyes.
For the first time, Lin Zhen knew what it felt like to be nervous. His heart beat faster and his ears turned even redder.
“No…nothing.”
He was scared.
The steel-like man, who had never cowed in the face of a hail of bullets, gave in for the first time, and was stared at by the girl like an aggrieved bear.
Song Wei stared at his slightly red ears for a few seconds, then looked away and continued to do her own thing.
Lin Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, then scratched his head.
What the hell are you going to say? I am worried to death, what if someone scares me and ignores me in the future?
Lin Zhen looked down at his feet.
Today I went to see the old Chinese medicine doctor in the bullpen. I had to wait until my leg healed. Song Zhiqing was frightened and he would resist the beating if his leg healed.
Ignoring Lin Zhen’s messy thoughts, Song Wei handed the first cooled puppy candy painting to Hei Dan.
“Eat.”
The rest of her paintings are basically all kinds of small animals, kittens, piglets, little monkeys, little bears...
This little country bumpkin Hei Dan was dazzled by the sight. He felt that Sister Song was simply a little fairy from heaven, super super awesome!
Song Wei handed Lin Zhen a candy bear painting.
"Can you eat it?"
Lin Zhen took it happily: "Eat it, hey hey..."
Song Wei: It looks a bit silly.
She took one of the little rabbit's pieces and licked it, and the rest was stuck on a target like a candied haws.
Hei Dan held a candy painting of a puppy in one hand and a candied haws in another, but he was not willing to eat it.
"Brother, Sister Song, I want to go out and play!"
He doesn't want to go out to play, he wants to go out and show off.
Hei Dan is a child after all. He was isolated and forced to be secluded in the past, but he still felt envious when he saw those children playing together.
Now that he has the best sister Song in the world and a biological brother, Heidan feels confident with the support he has.
He took the candied haws and sugar paintings, and immediately wanted to show off to the children in the village. These were snacks that none of the children in the village had eaten, and he was the first to have them!
Guessing his thoughts, Song Wei did not stop him.
"Go ahead, just don't let anyone bully you."
Lin Zhen didn't care, he only warned: "If someone hits you, hit you back. If they are not convinced, they will come to me. , Just don’t lose.”
Song Wei disagreed: "What if someone bigger than him bullies him? He can't beat him."
Lin Zhen: "Then find a helper. Whoever helps you will give you some candied haws. We still have There are people of all ages, so this thing is not bad!”
Song Wei agrees more.
Heidan listened carefully and wrote down: "I know, then I'm leaving."
There are really two people who dare to teach and one who dares to learn.
After Hei Dan left and quieted down, Song Wei felt a little embarrassed when there were only two people left.
What, I came to Brother Heidan’s house as a single woman. This scene was seen by the aunts and ladies in the village who love to eat melon, and rumors were spread all over the sky in one afternoon.
