selling chili peppers in chronology

=====================

Chen Bei is in sixth grade, and today is the last day of the final exam. Because there is no village primary school in Pingba Village, the children who study in the village go to another village to go to school. many hours.

The final exams are over, and we are in the graduating class. There are quite a few people in the class who will not study again after graduation. Therefore, after the exams on the last day, everyone played together again. It is inevitable that it is a bit late to return to the village.

Chen Bei didn't want his family to worry, so he urged the other two in the village to run for a long distance.

It was time to make dinner, the smoke from cooking in the village was rising, and there was still a fragrance in the air.

"Someone is stewing chicken!" Chen Zhu exclaimed after taking a deep breath.

"It really tastes like meat!" Yang Tie swallowed with saliva.

Chen Bei also smelled the delicious smell of chicken, he only felt his stomach growling, but he was used to self-control, and he was very good at comforting himself, "If there is meat, there is meat, and it's not my own. I can't eat even if I'm hungry."

Chen Zhu and Yang Tie froze immediately. They kept swallowing their saliva, longing, "I don't know which one is eating meat..."

Chen Beixin said how do I know.

He couldn't stand the smell of meat, so he ran away with oil on his feet, "I'm going back, you can smell it here yourself."

"Why are you running so fast, why don't you hurry up and smell it if you can't eat meat..."

Chen Bei didn't torture himself, and hurried home with his schoolbag on his back.

In the past two days, his father and his brother have been at odds, and his brother even went to the county every three days, and sometimes he would not go home until it was dark, and the meal was either prepared by his father or by him.

There was smoke from the uncle's house next door, and from the chimney of his own house. Chen Bei guessed that his father had come back early and was cooking dinner.

He pushed open the courtyard door, and a choking aroma of chili came out immediately. Chen Bei was puzzled. Dad's cooking didn't seem to smell so good.

Chen Bei didn't even have time to put down Lei Feng's schoolbag, so he trotted straight to the kitchen, and saw his brother busy on the stove.

"Brother?" It turned out to be his brother cooking today?

Chen Chen, who had just finished pouring oil on the chili noodles and garlic paste, was stirring it with chopsticks. Hearing this, he looked up, and saw that the forehead of a somewhat skinny child was covered with sweat, "Go and wash your face, and we can have dinner when Dad comes back. "

Chen Bei wanted to ask him why he came back so early today, but he swallowed the words again, and went to wash his face with water in response.

Although the family is poor, there is no shortage of seasonal vegetables in summer, what is missing is oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and sugar, and there is not much decent rice and white noodles, mostly coarse grains.

So Chen Chen took a look at what was in the kitchen, and decided to stew potato rice.

Because there is only one stove, and the stewed rice takes up a lot of space, Chen Chen picked a few big cucumbers and patted half of the pot. In order to add some oil and water to his stomach, he used a medicine pot to mash some dried chili noodles, and then patted and chopped them. Some mashed garlic, heated vegetable oil to make chili oil, then add some chili oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar to the cucumber, and a simple pat of cucumber is done.

There is still a small amount of vegetable oil in the pot, stir fry the potatoes, then pour out the half-cooked rice that has been filtered out of the rice soup, add some water, cover the wooden pot and simmer slowly.

Chen Chen took out the fire in the stove, got up and went outside to cool off.

The yard is filled with the aroma of stewed potatoes.

After washing his face and putting down his schoolbag, Chen Bei came out of the kitchen, "Brother, why is your stewed potato rice so delicious today?"

Chen Chen said lightly: "Good cooking."

Chen Bei choked for a moment, wondering, when did his brother become so confident?

"Have you drained the oil?"

"Put some vegetable oil in."

Chen Bei smacked his lips, "It must be delicious after adding oil."

Chen Chen was noncommittal.

The family is poor, oil is as precious as meat, and there is not much meat in the stomach, even if there is a little oil, it is not willing to put too much, it is just a symbolic wipe.

Although Chen Chen's meal tonight was already very frugal compared to his previous meals at the farmhouse, but for the Chen family, it was really a lot, and Chen Chen himself could smell the aroma.

The scent wafting from the kitchen kept coming, people who were already hungry felt even more hungry, so Chen Bei began to divert his attention, "Brother..."

Chen Chen looked at the lingering sunset in the sky, and said casually, "What?"

Chen Bei hesitated to speak.

Chen Chen tilted his head, "If you want to say something, just say it."

"I..." Chen Bei stammered, seeing that his brother seemed to be a little different from before, the difference couldn't be explained, it seemed that he was more... well, calmer, and he dared to speak even by name.

"I just want to talk about Dad's remarriage..."

Chen Chen had already figured out what to do, but now he wanted to hear Chen Bei's thoughts, "Say it."

"Since she left, Dad has lived alone for so many years. I heard many people say that he shouldn't guard that person, it's not worth it..." After the beginning, the following words are much better, "I didn't understand before , Now I don’t understand a lot of things, but I just think what everyone said makes sense. No one in the village lives alone like Dad. We have to go to school. Brother, you still come back once in a long time. Now after the separation, there is basically only Dad in the family. People, I think someone should accompany him."

The boy in front of him was only 12 years old, the age of a primary school student, but he said a lot of truths, and it sounded like he had thought it through.

Could it be that the children of the poor are headed home early?

In the original body, no one who is a brother is enlightened by other children.

Chen Bei continued, "And I went to see it secretly a few times, that woman is quite nice."

Chen Chen raised his eyebrows, "You can tell she's alright just by looking at her?"

"It's not just a glance." Chen Bei said anxiously: "Yang Tie and Chen Zhu heard that I was about to have a stepmother, so they said they were going to teach them a lesson so that I would not be bullied in the future. I didn't stop them, so they went She didn't scold people or sue them for messing with people's laundry, but just lectured Yang Tie and the others, and finally gave each of them a wild strawberry."

Chen Chen clicked his tongue, "You guys are quite capable."

Chen Bei couldn't help shrinking his neck, thinking that his brother's words were inexplicably bluffing.

But thinking of the awkward atmosphere at home during this time, Chen Bei still said: "So brother, I don't think she is that bad. Besides, we are so old, if she dares to beat us without giving us food, then we Just resist her and complain to grandparents, uncles, and uncles, and they will definitely not let us be bullied."

Chen Chen really looked at this cheap brother with admiration, this brain is really smart, his brain turning is much better than the original body's single-minded approach to dead-ends.

Chen Chen said, "What you said makes sense."

Chen Bei immediately asked: "So bro, do you agree with Dad remarrying?"

Chen Chen said in a normal tone, "You have even thought about the way out, so I have no reason to object."

Chen Bei urged: "Brother, you should tell Dad earlier, and you two should stop fighting."

Chen Chen said: "No noise."

"It's not noisy." Chen Bei muttered, "It's just that he didn't deal with it." He was still away from home every day.

Chen Chen glanced at him, "Say it during dinner."
