Chapter 283 Bear Meat Dumplings

The tiger cub finally had milk to eat, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It was getting late, and the dumplings in the pot were already cooked, so I quickly packed them up and served them.

"Xiao Feng, come here, sit next to grandma, we will have dumplings tonight. You are welcome to come to our house."

The family sat around the table, and Zhang Shuzhen sat with Chen Feng beside her.

Put a small plate in front of him, put garlic sauce and vinegar in it, and give Chen Feng a few dumplings that were taken out of the pot first and slightly cooled.

"Come on, try grandma's cooking. These dumplings are stuffed with bear meat and cabbage. They are always delicious."

In summer, there are many vegetables in the garden, so you don’t have to worry about making dumplings.

It happened that the cabbage field was thinning out, and two baskets of cabbage came out. After blanching, they chopped the stuffing and made dumplings with the bear meat.

The bear meat is fat, so there is no need to add any oil. There is quite a lot of oil in the dumplings, making them delicious.

Chen Feng picked up a dumpling and took a bite without dipping it in any seasoning.

Zhang Shuzhen's skill in preparing the stuffing is truly unparalleled. The freshness of the vegetables and the aroma of the meat are perfectly blended.

The oil and vegetable juices are mixed together, and it's oily and watery when you take a bite, not to mention how delicious it is.

After putting the dumpling in his mouth and chewing it twice, Chen Feng couldn't help but shed tears.

If he hadn't met Uncle Sheng and kindly brought him back, he would never have dreamed of eating such delicious dumplings.

He now lives in a brand new big house, wears new clothes, and eats dumplings, but where are his mother and sister?

What are they eating now? Xiao Chenfeng felt very sorry for his mother and sister for a moment.

"Hey, why are you crying now? Are the dumplings hot?"

Zhang Shuzhen was stunned when she saw Chen Feng crying. She thought the dumplings were too hot and hurriedly tried them.

"It's not hot, so what's going on?"

"The dumplings are so delicious. I have never eaten such delicious dumplings. If my uncle hadn't brought me back, I would never be able to eat such good dumplings in my life."

Chen Feng raised his hand, wiped away his tears, and explained with sobs.

"I just feel bad. I don't know how my mother and sister are doing at home. What do they eat?"

Sheng Xiping and Chen Feng shared the same story, telling the outside world that Chen Feng still had his mother and sister at home, and they didn't know where his father was.

That day, people from their village took Chen Feng into the city, but he got lost.

With such a mix of true and false, no one else can find any flaws.

"Hey, good boy, don't cry. When you cry, grandma will feel uncomfortable.

Don't worry, let your uncle find a way to find out about this matter. The key is that you can't tell which village your home is from, so this matter is not easy to handle.

Let's inquire slowly and we can always find your original home. "What can Zhang Shuzhen do? She can only coax the child with gentle words.

In fact, adults all knew in their hearts that Chen Feng's mother could no longer support her two children, so she tried to find a way to send Chen Feng out, thinking that no matter who took them away, the children would have a way to live.

But who dares to say this directly? She had no choice but to coax him, saying that if there was a chance in the future, he would take Chen Feng back to find his family.

An eight-year-old child can't even tell where his family lives, how can he find it?

Let alone the current time when transportation is inconvenient and information is underdeveloped, how many of those lost children will be found even in a few decades?

So these words are just to fool Chen Feng and make the child happy.

"Xiao Feng, eat quickly. Your mother and sister may get better gradually. I will definitely take you back to find them if I have a chance in the future."

Over there, Sheng Xiping glanced at Chen Feng and coughed slightly to signal.

When Chen Feng heard this, he immediately understood that Uncle Sheng must have made arrangements for his mother and sister.

Chen Feng felt a little more stable and nodded, "Yes, I understand. Thank you, uncle, and thank you, grandparents."

This guy was very polite. After thanking everyone, he stopped crying and focused on eating.

Seeing that the child stopped crying, everyone in the Sheng family breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Shuzhen felt more and more sorry for Chen Feng.

Oops, what cruel parent would have the heart to throw away such a good, obedient and sensible child?

If they don't want it, then they don't want it. That's because they are not lucky. From now on, this child belongs to the Sheng family.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shuzhen became a little kinder to Chen Feng and gave Chen Feng several dumplings in a row.

"Child, eat slowly, don't be anxious, there are plenty of dumplings, and there are a lot of milk dumplings today.

If you like to eat, leave more for you. "

As Zhang Shuzhen spoke, she patted Chen Feng's back with her hand, fearing that the child would be too anxious to finish eating and choke.

This dumpling meal was delicious for everyone.

Zhou Qinglan doesn't vomit much now, and everything she eats tastes delicious. She made a plate of dumplings herself.

Everyone else ate too. There wasn't enough on the table, so a few more plates were brought in from the outhouse.

Only Chen Feng, who firmly remembered Sheng Xiping's advice, did not dare to eat as much as he wanted and stopped when he felt it was almost done.

These dumplings are too oily and watery, and Chen Feng's intestines and stomach are weak. Eating too much will easily lead to diarrhea.

He had only been at Sheng's house for more than a day, and it would be too embarrassing if he got upset because he ate too much.

"Child, why don't you eat it? What's wrong with the dumplings? Eat more, there are plenty of dumplings."

When Zhang Shuzhen saw it, she felt strange. Is this child just here and unable to let go? Do you eat so few dumplings?

"Milk, I'm full. The dumplings are so delicious. I've never tasted such delicious dumplings.

Grandma, I'm not pretending, I'm really full. You eat slowly. "

Chen Feng greeted the others politely, then stepped back to the ground and ran to see Xiao Huang and the dog and tiger cub.

"Mom, you don't have to worry about him. It's right for him to eat less now. After a while, his spleen and stomach will be recuperated and he'll be fine. He can eat anything."

Sheng Xiping glanced at Chen Feng, feeling very satisfied with this child.

He has a good personality, is sensible, and knows how to advance and retreat. He is worthy of being Chen Ruiqing's son. Even without his biological father to teach him, he is still so rare.

When Zhang Shuzhen heard this, she understood, "Okay, then don't force him to eat more and raise him slowly.

I don’t believe it. With my craftsmanship and our food, I can’t raise a fat and white baby? "

Zhang Shuzhen has now fully accepted Chen Feng. She regards him as her junior and wants to be good to Chen Feng.

After finishing the delicious dumplings, Zhou Qinglan led Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei to take the remaining dumplings to the outhouse to cool down, and then put them in the cupboard.

As for the dumpling soup in the pot, it was not wasted. Everyone took a bowl and drank it, and put the rest into a basin for the dog to eat in the morning.

"Second and Third, you two put those bones in the big pot in the yard and boil them, and save them for the dogs to eat.

Girl, help me cut off all the fat meat. Let's make some oil. The meat will go bad if it's not kept in this hot weather. Once the oil is made, put it in and eat it slowly. "

After cleaning up the house, Zhang Shuzhen asked her family members to work and refine the fatter portions of the bear meat shared today into oil.

If it's too thin, just marinate it in salt and dry it, then keep it and eat it slowly. After finally getting it back, it won't cause any harm.

On August 9th, the daughter of the Gao Haining family celebrated the full moon with red plum blossoms. On the 10th, the Gao family prepared full-moon wine to entertain relatives and friends.

Zhou Qinglan and Tang Fengying are cousins, and Sheng Xiping and Gao Haining are good friends. They must go to such an occasion.

After breakfast, Zhang Shuzhen led her eldest son and daughter-in-law to Gao's house, carrying two pheasants that Sheng Xiping had caught early in the morning.

"Oh, sister-in-law, Xiping, and Qinglan are here? Come on, come in. Sister-in-law, look at you, you're just here, why are you bringing something with you?"

Gao Haining's mother, Zhao Chunlan, and mother-in-law Li Yuqin were all there. When they saw the Sheng family arriving, they hurriedly greeted them.

Three days after Tang Fengying gave birth to her baby, Zhang Shuzhen took 20 eggs, a bag of brown sugar, and a piece of cloth and came over to see it happily.

In this day and age, taking these things is considered a big gift, only between relatives.

For an ordinary friend, ten eggs would be pretty good.

"These are the two pheasants that Xiping caught when he went for a walk this morning. They were kept for Fengying to stew."

Zhang Shuzhen smiled and handed the two pheasants to Zhao Chunlan.

"Quick, let's go see Xiao Hongmei. I only took a look at it three days ago, and I don't know what this little guy is like now."

Zhao Chunlan took the pheasant and handed it to Gao Daqiang behind him, then led Zhang Shuzhen and Zhou Qinglan to the east room of the Gao family.

After Gao Haining got married, he lived with his wife in the West House, and Tang Fengying also lived in the West House during her confinement period.

Now that the mother and daughter are out of confinement, they have moved to the east room.

When everyone came in, Xiao Hongmei had just finished feeding and changed her bed, and Tang Fengying was coaxing her daughter to play.

As soon as she saw her cousin and her mother-in-law coming, Tang Fengying quickly said hello, "Auntie, Qinglan, come here and see my daughter, it's so fun."

Zhou Qinglan and Zhang Shuzhen entered the room and sat on the edge of the kang. They looked at the baby lying on the kang, kicking his legs and waving his little hands. They were very fond of it.

The weather is hot in August, and a bungalow is no better than a building without a fire. For cooking in the morning and evening, the room is also hot when the kang is heated.

So Tang Fengying wore a pair of trousers for her daughter, and a red bellyband directly on her upper body.

The little guy has been well-fed during confinement. He is white, tender and chubby. His two little arms are almost like lotus roots, and each section is very rare.

"Oh, this baby is so handsome.

She looks much better than when I came here three days ago. She is so fat and rare. "

Zhang Shuzhen's age is exactly that of her grandson. Whenever she sees someone else's baby, she becomes extremely curious.

"How's it going? Is the child making trouble? Is it easy to take care of him?"

"It's okay, I've been fine during the confinement period.

Even though I am about to be pregnant these days, I don’t know what’s going on, so I start crying every evening, and I have to cry until nine o’clock before going to bed.

I don’t know what’s going on, but it makes my mother very worried. "

Tang Fengying looked at the baby on the kang who was playing obediently and neither crying nor fussing, and said with both joy and sorrow.

"Oh, that's the child having confinement, it doesn't matter, many children are like this.

The troubles start from the first few days of confinement, sometimes for half a month, and sometimes for a month. After this period of trouble, it will be better. "

Zhang Shuzhen has served many children and knows a lot. She will know what is going on as soon as she hears it.

"If you have nothing to do, just cover her belly and fart a few more times.

The baby farts well. The more she farts, the more her intestines will be unobstructed and the gas will not be flattened, and she will stop making noises.

Besides, it doesn't matter if she cries, and there is no need to rush to comfort her when she cries.

You said that she has nothing to do all day long, except eating and sleeping, and crying is her livelihood.

As long as you're not crying until you're out of breath and your face is purple from holding it in, you don't have to worry too much. "

This is how the older generation raises their children. Although they can't explain it in any big way, some simple parenting concepts are still very useful.

Zhang Shuzhen said that Zhou Qinglan also took special care on the other end.

She is more than four months pregnant, and her due date is around New Year's Day, which is not far away. What my mother-in-law said is all from experience and will be useful in raising children in the future.

"Thank you, auntie, then I understand. I will cover her belly more often." After hearing this, Tang Fengying hurriedly thanked her.

Zhang Shuzhen watched the baby in the room for a while, then went to chat with Zhao Chunlan and Li Yuqin in the outer room. Zhou Qinglan and Tang Fengying were left in the room.

Ever since Tang Fengying gave birth, Zhou Qinglan had always wanted to visit her cousin and the child, but she was told that it was not recommended for pregnant women to visit the mother during confinement.

There are some old rules that must be followed, otherwise if something happens to the mother and the child, who can bear the responsibility?

So Zhou Qinglan endured it and didn't come here until today.

Looking at the cute little niece in front of her, Zhou Qinglan, who was about to become a mother, was very fond of her.

Under Tang Fengying's guidance, Zhou Qinglan picked up Xiao Hongmei and looked at the little girl's big eyes.

"Sister, this child looks like you, especially the eyes."

Zhou Qinglan held the child and looked at it carefully. She felt that this little girl was beautiful in every aspect. She had small eyebrows and a small mouth, which made her look unusual.

"This baby is so handsome, so rare." Zhou Qinglan held the baby in her arms, feeling like she couldn't put it down.

"Okay, you'd better give her to me. Don't pee all over you later. These gadgets are for the rectum. You'll pee after eating them."

After Zhou Qinglan hugged her for a while, Tang Fengying quickly took it and put it on the kang, for fear that Xiao Hongmei would urinate and get all over Zhou Qinglan.

Coincidentally, as soon as Tang Fengying put the child down, she saw that the diaper was instantly wet.

Zhou Qinglan and Tang Fengying looked at each other and laughed.

"You little bastard is very protective of your aunt, and you know not to pee on her.

That's right, when your aunt gives birth to a baby, you will have someone to play with.

Let me tell you, you must have a good relationship with your aunt. If you don't guarantee that you will study in the future, your aunt will teach you.

If you don't obey then, your aunt will slap you on the hand. "

Tang Fengying waited for the child to finish urinating, then took out the bra and put on a new one.

The little girl lying on the kang still couldn't understand what her mother was saying, so she just grinned at Zhou Qinglan.

That little look was so cute, it made both Tang Fengying and Zhou Qinglan very happy.

At around nine o'clock, people started to come to the Gao family one after another, most of them were people from the forest farm who got along well with each other.

Of course, the child is one month old, which is incomparable to a wedding reception, and there are not so many people coming.

At noon, the Gao family prepared three banquet tables.

At this time, the vegetable garden was rich in all kinds of vegetables, and the day before yesterday and yesterday, Gao Haining followed Sheng Xiping and the others into the mountains and hunted some prey, so the Gao family's banquet was quite well organized.

There were eight dishes and one soup, and the staple food was rice. It was hot at noon, and the room was even hotter, so we simply set up tables and chairs in the yard outside.

Everyone was eating and drinking outside, which was open and cool, much more comfortable than inside.

After the Gao family's full moon party, Sheng Xiping rested at home for two days.

On August 13th, Sheng Xiping packed up his money, gifts, letters of introduction, etc. and took a small train to Songjiang River.

He was going to Huadian Hongshi Forestry Bureau to attend Su Jingsheng's wedding.
