Chapter 39 Tree Stump Chopping Board

Ye Ning just took this opportunity and instilled in Miaomiao the concept of not being able to do this or that.

As long as it is dangerous, it is not something that children should do.

Cheng Miaomiao could only raise his voice with a sigh.

After hearing these words, Zeng Ziji, a child who was being trained together, ran to Dr. Zeng in confusion, slowly repeated all the things he couldn't do, and then looked at him silently with reproachful eyes.

Because he has done many things here.

Dr. Zeng: “…”

But you did it while I was watching!

Is it possible that a person as old as me can't stand your bigger kid? Don't listen to the wind and it will be the rain!

Finally, Ye Ning cooked a large pot of herbal tea for Cheng Miaomiao. After Dr. Zeng's reminder, she poured it all into a clean wooden bucket and carefully put it into the well.

Yes, Dr. Zeng also drilled a well in his house.

The herbal tea brought up from the well was cool by the well water, and there was still a white mist of cold air. Cheng Miaomiao couldn't help but reach out and touch it, but immediately retracted his hand because of the ice, and quickly lowered his head to blow on it.

My eyes widened in surprise: So comfortable! So cool!

Ye Ning carried the wooden bucket and walked to the bustling new home next door, followed by two little tails. They each held two sea bowls bigger than their own faces. These were just collected by Ye Ning from other people's homes.

Old bowl.

Cheng Erlang was stunned when he saw them.

When he heard that this was the herbal tea made from tea bags that Miaomiao specially bought from Dr. Zeng, his eyes widened in shock, and he felt in his heart that his daughter was so kind to his father.

Cheng Erlang immediately called Brother Miao and others to come over for tea.

Because there were not many bowls, they drank in turns. The cool herbal tea brought a sweetness to the mouth the moment it was taken. It was cool and sweet. After one bowl, the whole body became comfortable.

“I didn’t expect that I could drink herbal tea while working here!”

"I've long heard that Dr. Zeng's herbal tea in Xiaohe Village is very delicious, but every time I come to buy it, I can't always buy it. Isn't it a coincidence?"

"I really have to thank you little girl this time."

…

The workers laughed and teased her.

Cheng Miaomiao put her hands on her hips and imitated Dr. Zeng's tone when describing the symptoms of heatstroke. She clasped her fingers and said seriously: "If you have dizziness, chest tightness, nausea, and weakness in your limbs, you must rest quickly, otherwise you will not be saved!"

Zeng Ziji also said with a straight face: "We can't save him!"

Looking at the serious expressions of the two children, Brother Miao couldn't help but laugh and said nonchalantly: "We work in the sun all day long. It's normal to feel dizzy and flustered. It's not that serious."

Cheng Miaomiao was so angry that she groaned: "Seriously!"

A group of workers felt even happier when they saw her jumping up and down in anger.

Cheng Erlang knew very well that Dr. Zeng must have told Miaomiao this, so he didn't take it seriously.

He turned and looked at Ye Ning, and said thoughtfully: "The house won't be built so soon anyway, so why don't we build a place that can block the sun first, so that we can go in and rest if we are tired."

Ye Ning also thought this proposal was a good one.

But if this happens, they will definitely not have enough money on them. It seems that they still have to find time to go to town to get money from Sister Zhuang.

Cheng Miaomiao returned to Dr. Zeng's small courtyard angrily, sitting on the bench and sulking.

Ye Ning laughed and rubbed her depressed head twice.

It was only when the sound of chopping and cooking came from the kitchen that Cheng Miaomiao came back from her self-isolation, ran to the kitchen and squatted there to watch her cooking, her face full of interest.

The chopping board in Dr. Zeng’s house is a tree stump.

The smooth and neat side is used for cutting vegetables, and there are two narrow stools underneath, which is just right for an adult's height.

Cheng Miaomiao pulled the edge of the tree stump with her two small hands and watched curiously as she used a knife to cut the slender purple eggplant into small pieces, cut the tofu into thin slices, and cut the juicy cucumber into thin strips.

, so shocked that his mouth opened wide.

"Wow, grandma, you are really amazing! It must be delicious!"

She never hesitates to praise her, and even thinks that her mother-in-law is the best cook in the world!

Cheng Miaomiao felt that it was not enough for her to say it alone, so she had to pull her friends together, pointing to the cucumber silk on the chopping board that was as thin as an embroidery needle, and proudly said: "Isn't my mother-in-law super powerful?"

Zeng Ziji nodded in shock.

It turns out that this is cucumber shreds. What his uncle gave him before was cucumber strips.

Ye Ning's knife skills were unanimously approved by the two children. When the food was finally served, it was also praised by Brother Miao and other workers. The table full of delicious and delicious food made Dr. Zeng ignore his nephew's condemnation.

look.

Because there were so many people eating, Ye Ning simply divided the meal into two portions.

The larger portions are with the workers, and the slightly smaller portions are left with Dr. Zeng. There are only three adults and two children at their table, and these meals are enough to satisfy them.

It was hot in summer, so Ye Ning cut a small piece of tofu and made a bowl of soup.

Cheng Miaomiao picked up the fried golden tofu and took one bite into his mouth. He also scooped a full spoonful of dry rice and stuffed it into his mouth. It was delicious.

It looked like Dr. Zeng followed her instructions and ate an extra bowl of rice.

The three members of Cheng Miaomiao's family had enough to eat and drink, and they finished washing the dishes before returning to Cheng's house at dusk.

Coincidentally, the Cheng family happened to be having dinner at the moment.

Cheng Wulang, who was squatting on the threshold of the kitchen with a bowl in his arms, saw them at a glance. He immediately stood up and waved to them, saying, "Second brother and sister-in-law, you are finally back. Come and eat."

As soon as Cheng Miaomiao saw him, she thought of the little teal duck she had lost.

She angrily turned her head away from him.

Noticing the repulsive expression on the little girl's face, Cheng Wulang touched his nose nonchalantly, and just as he was about to speak again, the rude voice of Mrs. Zhao came from inside: "You can eat whatever you want, and they didn't pay me.

Why should I give them the food I cooked?"

"I didn't even go home for the whole day, and I don't know where I went to fool around."

Old man Cheng put down his bowl and chopsticks, dissatisfied.

Qian said with a smile: "When I came back, I heard someone said that my second brother was looking for someone to build a house. Today, many people saw him and those people going to the west of the village. What they were doing was in full swing."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhao and Mr. Cheng's faces turned dark.

They can tell the second-in-law to separate and get out, but if they rush to build a house without saying hello, and they don't take their two elders seriously, then he is unfilial.

The Cheng brothers actually heard a little bit about it all day long.

I just don't think Cheng Erlang can move out quickly. With the little money he borrowed, it will probably take ten and a half days to build the house. By then, he will have to harvest rice, so he won't be able to take care of it at all.

Meng whispered: "This Erlang is really shameless. My parents haven't spoken yet, so I don't know what they are worried about."

Cheng Sanlang simply put down his bowl and chopsticks and said to his second brother, "Mom and dad, I'm going to teach my second brother a lesson."

In an instant, everyone at the table looked at him.

Mrs. Zhao was obviously very impressed by his behavior. She put a piece of fish left over from lunch into his bowl, glared at the door, and spat: "Mom knows that you are filial, and you are much better than those people who eat dry food."

"

Cheng Dalang's face instantly turned ugly.
