Chapter 45: Warmth, I especially enjoy this feeling
It was still okay in that era, as very few people suffered from diabetes. But in later generations, there were many people suffering from diabetes.
Some people dare not eat a piece of candy in their entire life because they are afraid of getting diabetes.
Of course, some people have already got it, so they need to control their blood sugar and start paying attention if it’s a little high.
"I understand, Brother Jiayi."
"Add one! You can't spoil her." said the old lady.
"Auntie, I didn't spoil her. I just did what a brother should do."
"You! Come on, you two can play in the yard! I'm going to help your grandma cook."
"Yes, ma'am."
After the old lady entered the kitchen, Li Jiayi rubbed Li Jiafen's head again and asked, "Do you want to eat meat?"
Li Jiafen quickly shook her head and said, "Brother Jiayi, I don't want to eat meat."
Of course, she didn't mean what she said. Who doesn't want to eat meat? But this girl is sensible and knows not to think about eating meat.
"Come on, I'll take you to eat meat." After saying that, he pulled her into the main room.
"Brother Jiayi, I..."
"Shh, don't talk yet."
After arriving at the main room, Li Jiayi asked her to sit down first, and then went back to the room.
When he came out again, he took out a smaller oil paper bag in his hand. Yes, it was another pig's trotter.
There are more than a hundred of these things in the space, and they are all braised until soft and, of course, steaming hot.
Fortunately, when he took it out, he deliberately put it outside the courtyard for a while. Although it was only a short minute, half an hour had passed in the space.
So when I took it out, it was just warm. It's summer now, so I can't feel this temperature.
"Here you go." Li Jia placed the oil paper bag in front of her.
"Brother Jiayi, what is this?"
"open to take a look."
Li Jiafen quickly opened the oil paper package, and when she saw what was inside, she covered her mouth to prevent herself from shouting.
"Brother Jiayi, is this for me?" Li Jiafen asked in disbelief.
"Of course, you are my sister, isn't it my duty to give it to you?" He rubbed her head again.
Fortunately, the girl's hair was messy to begin with, so it wasn't very obvious.
The little girl swallowed her saliva, but still said, "Brother Jiayi, can we eat this together?"
"Just eat it! Today I bought a lot of pig heads and pig trotters. I saved this trotter for you. Come and eat it!"
"But……"
Before the girl could finish her words, Li Jiayi interrupted her and said, "Don't say but, just eat if I tell you to."
Of course he knew what the girl wanted to say, which was that she wanted to share the meal with her family.
Children of this generation are so sensible that it makes people feel distressed.
"Brother Jiayi, can I eat half and leave the other half?" the little girl asked after swallowing again.
“Why keep half?”
"I want to save half for my mother to eat."
Li Jiayi rubbed the little girl's head again and said, "Don't worry, Auntie has plenty of meat for her to eat today."
"Oh!"
After hearing what brother Jiayi said, the little girl no longer insisted, mainly because she was too greedy.
In just a few minutes, she had finished eating a big pig's trotter, and she even wanted to eat the bones.
Fortunately, Li Jiayi stopped her. Are you kidding? There is no way to digest these bones!
The little girl had just finished chewing the pig's trotter when her uncle and two cousins came in from outside. As soon as the two cousins entered the yard, they began to sniff, and then followed the smell to the main room.
When seeing the pig's trotter bones in front of the little girl, the second cousin Li Chenghou said: "Well, Jiafen, you actually eat alone."
The little girl quickly jumped up and said, "I don't have any."
"You say you don't have anything, what is this?" Li Chenghou asked, pointing at the pig's trotter bone.
"I……"
"Second brother, what are you doing? I asked Jiafen to eat this." Li Jiayi said as he stood up.
"Uh! I..."
Just at this moment, grandma came in from outside, followed by uncle and aunt.
"What are you kids arguing about?" asked grandma.
"Grandma, Jiafen eats alone." Li Chenghou said, pointing at the pig's trotter bones on the eight-immortals table.
Grandma glanced at Li Jiayi, reached out and patted Li Cheng on the back of his head and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, kid! Didn't you see that Jiayi and Jiafen were eating together?"
Grandma, this is really nonsense! Li Jiayi didn't even taste it! But it's good this way, my second cousin will have nothing to say.
He thought that this was given to Jiayi and Jiafen by grandma, so what else could he say?
Seeing that the second cousin was silent, grandma said, "Okay, go wash your hands and eat. There will be meat today."
When the two cousins heard grandma say there was meat to eat, their eyes lit up and they ran out without caring whether Jiafen had eaten alone or not.
The two little ones were easy to fool, but the older lady was not. She walked over, looked at Li Jiafen and asked, "What's going on?"
"Mom, it was given to me by Brother Jiayi, and he asked me to eat it." Li Jiafen said, pinching the corner of her clothes.
Like a child who has done something wrong.
"Okay, why are you asking so many questions? Since it was given by my eldest grandson, just eat it." Grandma spoke at this time.
"Uh! Mom, I don't mean anything else, I just want to ask." The aunt said quickly.
"Okay, let's get ready for dinner!"
From beginning to end, my uncle didn't say a word, not because he didn't want to speak, but because he didn't know what to say.
Although I also think it’s a bit too much for Li Jiafen to eat a big pig’s trotter by herself, this pig’s trotter was given by her eldest nephew.
Besides, it was his own daughter who ate it, what else could he say?
But when grandma brought out a ceramic bowl of pig's head, no one said anything. Everyone swallowed their saliva, even my uncle.
At this time, my grandfather also came out with a ceramic wine jar, the kind that holds five kilograms, and it was filled with loose wine that he bought from others.
"Grandpa, why don't you drink the wine I brought you?"
"Yes, Dad, please open a bottle and let me try it too," said the uncle.
Grandpa glared at the uncle and said, "Get out of here. You still want to drink good wine? You're lucky you can drink this loose wine."
Hearing what grandpa said, the uncle suddenly wilted and picked up a pancake and took a big bite.
Li Jiayi said at this time: "Uncle, please drink first. I will bring you a bottle of good wine next time you come."
"You are not allowed to bring it."
Grandpa glared at Uncle and asked, "Do you know how much a bottle of good wine costs? You can buy several jars of this kind of loose wine."
"Ah! So expensive?"
My uncle has never bought any wine. He has always been drinking from my grandfather, so he has no idea how much the wine costs.
"What do you think? That bottle of good wine can be exchanged for more than 20 kilograms of flour in the city."
"Ah! No way?" He quickly turned around and said to Li Jiayi, "Don't bring it. More than 20 kilograms of white flour, if converted into coarse grains, is enough for our family to eat for a month."
