Accidentally Born in the ‘60s Chapter 34:
Because Li Muwen went home, Li Musen asked for leave early with his unit and arrived home after the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month. Zhang Chunhua entered the room and saw Li Muwen, who was wearing a military uniform. He believed that the old Li family was really capable, and hurriedly approached with a smile on his face: "This is the big brother, I often hear my Muwen talk about you. This is the first time I've seen you."
Although I have heard about the Li Mulin couple from Mrs. Li, but with Li Muwen's upbringing, I can't do anything to embarrass my sister-in-law, so I just nodded and smiled at her, then got up and put on Military coat: "Mu Lin, accompany me for a walk."
As soon as he saw the black face of the elder brother, Li Mulin's legs softened, and he followed Li Muwen hard, and the words were already trembling: "Brother, if we can't talk in the room, where are we going? "
Li Muwen looked back at him with a gloomy smile: "Just go to the room."
As soon as Li Mulin heard it, he knew that he couldn't escape a beating. When he was a child, every time he was naughty and mischievous, when his elder brother wanted to beat them, he would take them to the back of the room. Li Mulin trembled after Li Muwen, begging for mercy. : "Brother, I know I was wrong."
Li Muwen put his arms around Li Mulin's neck as soon as he returned, and pressed him against his chest: "Being a little girl hurts you the most, and if you have anything good, I will hold you close first, but you can actually Don't you go home in the new year? Do you still have a mother in your heart?"
Li Mulin tugged Li Muwen's steel-like arm tightly, his face flushed: "Brother, I know I'm wrong, I'm confused, I won't dare again."
Li Muwen looked at his younger brother next to him, who was as tall as himself, and couldn't help but think of what he looked like when he was a child. With a sigh, the fist that Li Muwen swung in front of Li Mulin's eyes didn't hit him in the end. He loosened Li Mulin's neck and his eyes were a little red: "It's because I didn't fulfill my responsibilities as a big brother and didn't educate you well. Let's go. It's early, when I can take responsibility for my family, I go with the army again, if I..."
"Brother!" Li Mulin hurriedly interrupted him: "You are here to fight the Japanese devils. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have lived a good life now. Now you are in the army thousands of kilometers away from home, Mother never said it was not easy for you." Seeing Li Muwen shed tears, Li Mulin couldn't help sobbing: "Brother, I know I was wrong, I'm a bastard, it's because I don't care, I'm sorry mother."
"Mother's four sons, now both of us are out and away from home all the year round. Although my mother doesn't say it, the heart of the festival is definitely not good. You are not far from home in Bingcheng, and you can come back as often as you can. If you think about our mother's age, you can still stay with me for a few years." Li Muwen wiped his eyes with his rough palms: "I performed the mission this time and made a contribution, and I should be able to upgrade to another level. After the matter is settled, I also want to take a leave to bring my wife and children back, I have to let my mother see the daughter-in-law and grandson there, and let my two boys know where their roots are."
Li Mulin nodded again and again, and after following Li Muwen back to the house, when he saw Mrs. Li, Li Mulin immediately hugged her and burst into tears: "Mother, I was wrong."
Mrs. Li looked disgusted and pushed Li Mulin aside with a slap: "What's the matter, your brother cut you?"
"No? My brother said that I feel bad." Li Mulin rubbed back again, half-bent his knees and resting his head on Mrs. Li's shoulder, crying and sobbing: "Being a little girl hurts me, but I still The worst thing, mother, I shouldn't have been away for ten years before coming back."
Lady Li listened to Zhile: "Going out to be a soldier is a lot of experience. I looked at your brother and said that this time you are more in charge than beating you." Wiping the tears from her son's face, Mrs Li said Tai Yi slapped him again: "It's okay, it's over, don't cry anymore, you've gone home twice a year in the past two years, it's no longer a fool, mother doesn't blame you, you have a son. If you are still crying, you are not afraid that your son will laugh at you.”
Li Mulin quickly wiped his eyes and showed a smile: "I bought a new dress for my mother this year, and I will show it to my mother."
"You spend money indiscriminately. You are the only one in your family to make money. Life is not easy. Don't spend too much money. I have clothes to wear. Your elder brother just bought one for me." Mrs. Li Even so, there is still a smile on his face: "You only need to have this heart."
"Brother bought my brother's, I bought mine." Li Mulin dragged Mrs. Li and insisted on seeing new clothes now. Mrs. Li was coaxed by her son, and she felt very comfortable, and pushed Just follow him to try on new clothes.
Li Mulin pushed Mrs. Li to try on the clothes. Ming Shu and Ming Xin greeted the elders one by one, and then dragged Ming Nan and Ming Bei out to the wild. Zhen Zhen was able to go out now, she naturally didn't want to be bored at home, hurriedly put on a big padded jacket and hat and followed out, Li Mingzhong immediately got up from the mat and jumped out after Zhen Zhen.
"Brother! Brother! Wait for me!" Zhen Zhen threw her short legs upside down and kept chasing forward.
Mingbei turned around and waved at her: "You go home quickly, we won't take you."
Zhen Zhen pretended not to hear, ran to Ming Bei in one breath, grabbed his hand, raised her head and looked at him excitedly: "Where are we going to play?"
Ming Bei helped Zhen Zhen fasten the padded jacket button under her neck, and then drove her home: "We plan to go up the mountain to catch the roe deer, it's not easy to go, you go home quickly and let Hong Zhong follow us That's it."
Li Mingzhong listened, and immediately rolled his eyes at him with a look of disdain. Ming Shu and Ming Xin laughed when they saw it, Ming Nan stretched out his hand to take Zhen Zhen's hand and said to Ming Bei: "If you are going to take my sister with her, if we drive her home, she will cry with the milk, we have to Beaten up."
Li Mingbei had no choice but to nod when he thought of how the milk was eccentric to his armpit: "Then let's go up the mountain today and don't go too far, we can take a closer look." Ming Shu and Ming Xin were in a hurry to go up the mountain to play , urging Mingnan and Mingbei to lead the way quickly.
At the foot of the mountain, the snow on the way to the mountain has been trampled. Mingnan is exploring the road with a stick, Mingshu and Mingxin are walking in the middle, Mingbei is holding Zhen Zhen's hand and walking on the In the end, Li Mingzhong was so happy that he didn't know where to go.
Ming Shu and Ming Xin don't usually go up the mountain very often, especially the snow nest with one foot makes it difficult to walk. The two of them can't walk even after walking a hundred meters. panting.
"No, let's set a trap here." Ming Nan said, and brushed the snow on the ground with a stick. Seeing that there was no shadow of Li Mingzhong nearby, he couldn't help but asked worriedly: "Hongzhong Where did you go? You won't get lost, will you?"
Zhen Zhen took a swipe of her consciousness and saw that Li Mingzhong was not far away with a big fat rabbit in her mouth, she was instantly happy: "I'll call it back." : "Li Mingzhong..." Echoes echoed in the red pine forest, Li Mingzhong identified the direction and ran over immediately.
Mingbei's eyes are very good, and he saw Li Mingzhong holding something in his mouth from a distance. He quickly found a tree stump, stood up, and looked forward: "Hongzhong seems to have caught a rabbit and came back." Mingshu When He Mingxin heard it, his legs didn't hurt and his waist didn't hurt anymore.
Li Mingzhong held the rabbit in his mouth, swept past the brothers who had greeted it, went straight to Zhen Zhen, threw the bitten rabbit under Zhen Zhen's feet, and waited expectantly for Zhen Zhen's praise, Zhen Zhen smiled He rubbed Li Mingzhong's head, and praised it in a milky voice: "I'm good at it, I'll give you meat at night."
Li Mingzhong nodded again and again, not forgetting to order food with Zhen Zhen: "I want braised pork."
Zhen Zhen looked at it speechlessly: "You are quite good at eating, wait for me to tell the milk at night."
Mingnan and Mingbei followed behind Li Mingzhong, and Mingbei picked up the rabbit's ears and looked at it: "Oh, Hongzhong bit the rabbit's throat, as expected of a natural hunting dog, he can hunt without being taught. ."
Mingnan glanced at the fat rabbit and grinned happily: "Take it home and let the milk stew potatoes."
Ming Shu had eaten stewed rabbit with potatoes last time. He felt that it was no better than pork. He remembered that he had a big pot of pork in the yard of the nurse's house, and he didn't think much about stewed rabbit meat. He licked his lips and discussed with Mingnan, "I always heard from my father that roasted rabbits are delicious, but I have never eaten roasted rabbits since I grew up."
"Want to eat roasted rabbits? This is easy." Ming Nan took Ming Shu and the others around to find a hut in the woods, pushed open the door and entered, there was half a tank of frozen water, all of which went up the mountain After people use it, put the snow water in it, and after it melts, the next wave of people going up the mountain will still have water to use.
Ming Nan found North to go home to get some seasonings, and asked Ming Shu and Ming Xin to pick up some firewood and come back. They filled a handful under the tank first, and then they boiled the water to wash the rabbits.
Drawing out the knife he was carrying with him, Ming Nan quickly cleaned up the rabbit and scooped water from the tank to wash the rabbit inside and out.
When Mingnan packs up, Mingbei has already ran to the house and brought things like salt and pepper. Mingshu and Mingxin cleared a clean and snow-free place outside, put up the firewood, and took the foreign fire. Slowly arching the fire, Ming Nan cut a few knives on the rabbit, smeared salty salt and pepper inside and out, and strung the rabbit with a long stick and placed it on the fire.
Zhen Zhen walked around the back of the hut, and when she came out again, she held a honeycomb filled with honey and handed it to Ming Nan, and told him shyly: "I picked it up under the tree at the back of the house."
"Oh my old sister, this is a good thing, you little lucky hand, why do you pick up things?" Mingnan went to the beehive and smelled it, and the honey fragrance filled his nose made him swallow: "Go home and give milk, and let the milk make honey water for us to drink."
Zhen Zhen looked at the rabbit being roasted on the shelf, and asked Ming Nan innocently: "Is honey water sweet?"
"Sweet, fragrant and sweet, it's good to drink. It's just this wild bee venom, and I usually don't dare to provoke them easily." Mingnan looked at the beehive in his hand and grinned happily: "I guess it was a while ago. It was hit by heavy snow, but fortunately I went up the mountain today, otherwise I wouldn't be able to pick up such a good thing."
Zhen Zhen's focus is not here at all, she heard Ming Nan talking about sweetness, and immediately said: "Third brother, I want to eat sweet rabbit, let's pour honey on the rabbit."
Ming Nan's distressed face twitched when he heard the words: "It's too wasteful to put such a good thing on a rabbit."
"I want to eat it!" Zhen Zhen took Ming Nan's hand and acted cute: "Brother, can I paint the rabbit for me? I'll pick up beehives for my brother later."
"My silly sister, do you think there are honeycombs and pine towers everywhere?" Touching Zhen Zhen's head, Ming Nan still respected Zhen Zhen's opinion and went into the cabin to find a wooden bowl , washed twice with water, and then carefully took out a little honey and put it in a wooden bowl.
Ming Bei brought a salt brush, and Ming Nan carefully dipped some honey and spread it evenly on the rabbit. When it was roasted, the fat rabbit would come out with oil and a zesty fragrance.
Mingbei swallowed his saliva and looked at the rabbit's eyes: "Why do I think the honey is more fragrant."
Ming Nan nodded, and after the rabbit's color became darker, he quickly applied another layer, scraped the wooden bowl clean, and smeared the honey in it on the roasted rabbit. When the flavors were all in, Mingbei poked with a knife and tried that the rabbit meat was fully cooked, so he quickly took the rabbit down. Mingbei saw that the fire was still burning vigorously, so he picked up a few pine cones from nearby. Throw it in, and after a while, a scent of pine oil will be released.
The children of Lao Li's family sat around the fire. When the rabbit was no longer hot, Ming Nan took a knife and cut it into several large pieces. Zhen Zhen parted a rabbit's leg, she blew hot air, and bit into it, the outside was coke and the inside was tender, oily, fragrant and sweet. While exhaling, she swallowed the rabbit meat in her mouth, Zhen Zhen felt that the taste was more fragrant than braised pork with rice.
Obviously, Zhen Zhen is not the only one who has this idea. Mingnan and Mingbei have also eaten roasted rabbits, but they used to follow Li Muwu for the purpose of roasting, and no longer consider the taste and so on, like today It was the first time that the heat was just brushed with honey again. Ming Bei finished eating the rabbit meat in his hand, licked his fingers reluctantly, and sighed comfortably: "It's so fragrant."
Ming Shu and Ming Xin ate the rabbit meat cleanly, and they were reluctant to throw away the bones in their hands.
Li Mingzhong looked at the delicious food that everyone was eating, and in a hurry it screamed and kept turning around with Zhen Zhen sticking out its tongue. Zhen Zhen tore off a piece of rabbit meat and threw it to Li Mingzhong, Li Mingzhong jumped up, caught the rabbit meat from mid-air, swallowed it three times, and then stared at Zhen Zhen again: "I didn't taste anything."
Zhen Zhen glanced at it and tore it to it again: "Eat it slowly, I'll give it to you when I'm almost done eating it."
Li Mingzhong nodded with the rabbit meat in his mouth, and did not forget to instruct Zhen Zhen: "Leave more meat for me."
Zhen Zhen ate most of the honey roasted rabbit leg, and the rest was handed to Li Mingzhong in the eyes of her brothers. Li Mingzhong hugged the rabbit leg with two front paws and nibbled it cleanly. Licking her lips, she was reluctant to throw away the remaining bone sticks, she held it in her mouth and jumped and jumped around the fire.
The wood was burnt, and the fire gradually went out. Ming Bei found a stick and moved the pine tower to Mingshu and Mingxin: "The pine nuts burned in this way are more fragrant than fried. Mingshu and Mingxin blow the pine tower while blowing the pine cone. He picked up the pine nuts, and threw one in his mouth regardless of how hot it was, biting the skin with a bang, spit out the pine nut shell, and eating the fragrant pine nuts, Ming Xin complained directly: "We have so many good things in Beicha. , You said that my father had to go to Bingcheng to do something, or else I could see the sky eating rabbits and pine nuts here. "
Zhen Zhen couldn't bite, so she could only grab some and put them in her pocket, ready to take them home and let the milk help them open them. The children ate pine nuts all the way down the mountain, and when they got home, except for Zhen Zhen’s pockets, the other children had all eaten up.
Li Mingnan handed the beehive he brought back to Mrs. Li, and told Mrs. Li excitedly: "Zhen Zhen picked it up from under the tree, fortunately we went up the mountain today, or else someone else will pick it up. "
Mr. Li looked up at the sky silently: "Don't worry, if your sister doesn't go, the hive won't fall down."
