Hearing Kang Xiaozi's question, he shouted impatiently: "Don't ask me anything. I don't stay in the stove on weekdays. Damn it, Niang Xipi, why can't the fire be lit?"

Kang Xiaozi saw this, so he came back and said, "Dad, you go and rest aside, I will light the fire."

Yang Huaming stepped aside and let Kang Xiaozi do it. Unexpectedly, he lit the fire himself, which failed to light several times. Kang Xiaozi succeeded immediately.

"Yeah, this is really impressive." Yang Huaming patted Kang Xiaozi on the shoulder and praised.

"Originally, I was thinking that if we still can't figure it out, I would go to the entrance of the village and ask your third mother to come over and help!"

Kang Xiaozi said with a smile: "Dad, let's try our best not to trouble others. It's the first month of the year and every household is busy."

"I heard that the third mother and her family have all gone to the Sun family today, and the two boys from Sister Qing'er's family are visiting the Sun family!"

Kang Xiaozi's words reminded Yang Huaming.

"Oh, why did I forget this? You should definitely go," Yang Huaming said.

Of course, it is impossible for the third sister-in-law to find time to help her cook meals and entertain guests.

It would not be appropriate to go to the front yard and ask Zhao Liuer to come over and help cook. If you are entertaining guests at home, you must be cooking yourself. Why bother bothering others so easily?

Okay, let’s just bite the bullet and burn it. Who could have boasted so much to Meier before?

The fire in the stove came up, and steam gradually began to come out from the edge of the pot.

Yang Huaming sat solemnly at the mouth of the stove, waiting for the fire to start, while Kang Xiaozi continued to look for meatballs and meatloaf.

When the water in the pot boiled, the piece of bacon was rolling in the pot and white steam was coming out. Yang Huaming quickly got up and used a bamboo scoop to fish out the piece of bacon and put it in cold water before washing it.

After washing it, he took out the heavy cast iron kitchen knife, sharpened it on the whetstone on the side for a few times, and then started to cut the meat.

The outside of the bacon has been cooled down by the cold water, but when the knife cuts the inside, there is still steam coming out.

Yang Huaming cut the bacon into thin slices and placed them in two bowls. He planned to put one bowl on top of the rice and steam it when cooking, and then pour sesame oil and sprinkle with chives when it is out of the pot.

The other bowl will be taken back to the vegetable garden in the backyard and brought back with two handfuls of vegetable moss, and the bacon will be stir-fried with vegetable moss.

"Kang Boy, you haven't found the meatballs and patties yet?" Yang Huaming cut the bacon and turned around to find that Kang was still rummaging through the box.

Kang Xiaozi scratched his head and said, "It's strange. I dug three feet into the ground and couldn't find it."

Yang Huaming looked around and suddenly understood.

He twitched the corner of his mouth and said to Kang Xiaozi: "There's no need to look for it. It's probably your mother who hid it. Forget it, let's just use whatever food we can find!"

Kang Xiaozi nodded, "I found a dried chicken."

Yang Huaming: "I also found a few handfuls of dried mushrooms, so we'll make a small pot and stew chicken with mushrooms at noon!"

The two men worked separately, cooking and washing rice, steaming rice in a large pot inside and stir-frying vegetables in a small pot outside.

While the rice soup was being scooped out into a small earthen pot on the pot stand, Yang Huaming put the thinly sliced ​​bacon on top of the rice and steamed it.

Just as he was about to put the lid on the pot, he was stopped by Kang Xiaozi.

"Dad, none of these dishes are suitable for Zhuang Zhuang. I found two eggs in the chicken coop. Let's make some custard for Zhuang Zhuang?"

"Hey, you are so thoughtful. The egg custard is good and the kids eat well!"

Gu GuYang Huaming quickly and clumsily cracked the eggs, but the strength of the cracking was a bit weak, and several pieces of eggshells broke into pieces and fell into the bowl.

Yang Huaming put the chopstick tip in his hand and couldn't pick it out. He was heartbroken and directly inserted his finger into the egg liquid and fished it out.

Sprinkle some salt in it, scoop out half a spoonful of rice soup from the crock pot next to it, put it into the eggs and stir, and now 70% of the raw egg liquid has been made into egg drop soup.

Yang Huaming placed a full bowl of egg drop soup next to the rice, closed the pot lid, sat back down and stuffed some firewood into the stove mouth, and pulled the bellows a few times.

He raised his head and looked at Kang Xiaozi, who was also guarding the small pot outside, frying chicken.

The chicken was so hard. He had spent some time to chop the chicken into pieces. The dried mushrooms were still soaked in the hot water on the side and were also hard.

"Young boy Kang, you look a bit like this. Why, your sister asked you to cook when you were selling vegetables in town?" Yang Huaming sat there, laughing and teasing boy Kang.

Kang Xiaozi smiled sheepishly and said, "No matter where you are, my eldest sister cooks the rice and sends it to Wa City after it's cooked."

"I was so exhausted that I would finish work at night and go back to the rental house. She would cook, and I would watch over her and help pass out two eggs or something."

Yang Huaming nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

The two children are already so old, He'er is in his late twenties, and Kang Xiaozi has reached the age to get married.

Neither brother nor sister had a family, so they temporarily rented two rooms in a small alley behind the Wa Market in the town, and lived a life of leaving early and returning late.

Every time Yang Huaming thinks about this, he doesn't feel good drinking anymore.

If he had that ability, he would really want to build a grand house for Kang Xiaozi in the town, buy him a young woman as his wife, and start a business with hot meals and dishes.

Give He'er a large dowry and let her marry into a family, or else buy a house for He'er and recruit a son-in-law...

However, he does not have that ability, and the only abilities he has are gathered together. Tiedan is still young, so he has to leave it to Tiedan to plan.

Kang Xiaozi and He'er at least had Mrs. Liu to help with planning, and two siblings, Ju'er and San Yatou, to help take care of them.

But Tie Dan was different. Tie Dan and they were not born to the same mother. Even if they had the same father, there was still a layer between them.

Thinking of this, Yang Huaming could only be cruel and ignore these adult children.

"Fourth brother, how's lunch going? When can we start dinner?"

A figure appeared at the door of the kitchen. It turned out to be Yang Huamei, holding Zhuangzhuang in his arms.

"Haha, Mei'er, come on, come on, are you hungry?" Yang Huaming immediately put away his thoughts and asked with a smile. At the same time, he stood up and stretched his neck to tease Zhuang Zhuang in Yang Huamei's arms.

As for Yang Huamei, as long as someone teases her eldest grandson, she can still make the other person smile, even if they have just had a fight with each other.

Especially when the girls were sitting next door, they could hear the chopping, chopping, and frying in the kitchen, making a lot of noise.

Yang Huamei was thinking in her heart, it seems that the fourth sister-in-law deliberately left her son out of the house, how can the fourth brother and Kang Xiaozi still behave well?

Her anger weakened a little, and with a hint of curiosity, Yang Huamei carried Zhuang Zhuang to the kitchen next door and wandered around.

"You're not that hungry, but the room where you sleep is too cold, and there's not much fire in the fire barrel." Yang Huamei added.

Upon hearing this, Yang Huaming immediately got up and walked to the next room.
