Chapter 191: Cool Weather
Five or six aunts and sisters-in-law came to the edge of the pond with baskets and baskets, and when they saw that Bian Rui and the two were already in the pond, they directly began to put their skins on their bodies and go into the water.
"Little Nineteen, I didn't expect you to arrive first" Aunt Twelve put on her water trousers and carefully touched the pond to try the pond mud, and asked Bian Rui while poking her feet into the pond.
Bian Rui straightened up and smiled at his aunt: "We're almost done picking."
"So fast?" Aunt Fourteen was surprised and stretched out her head to look at the basket that Bian Rui put next to her: "It's just a little bit, that is, three bowls of porridge, you won't pick some for your grandfather and grandmother?"
"The fifth master and the fifth grandmother don't like to eat these things, and the older generation doesn't like to eat the fifth master and the fifth aunt, they used to eat too much," the twelfth aunt said with a smile.
"What about the ten brothers and ten sisters-in-law?"
Bian Rui smiled when he heard this: "Then I'll pick some more."
"Pick more, this year's pond of chicken head rice is estimated to be eaten by no one else," Aunt Fourteen said after sighing.
Chicken head rice is mainly difficult to peel, and all have to rely on manual peeling, a person is familiar with four or five catties a day, this is the most, generally three or two catties, the chicken head rice sold in the market costs a hundred yuan a catty, but the chicken head rice tastes no taste.
Fresh chicken head rice with a faint fragrance, away from the water for a long time this fragrance is gone, as long as the taste of chicken head rice overnight will be much worse, not to mention transported to the market. It is best to eat chicken head rice in the morning and peel it in the afternoon and cook it, so as to preserve the faint fragrance.
"The main thing is that it's too troublesome, and not to mention the people in the city, even the children in the village don't like to eat this stuff very much, and our two children don't touch it, saying that it has no taste, and it tastes like chewing yam dregs......," said the fifth sister-in-law who had just come down from the pond.
Bian Rui pricked up his ears to listen to the chatter between his aunt and sister-in-law, and from time to time he said a word or two of useless gossip.
Yan Lan is not even as good as Bian Rui, she used to be a dancer, and the difference between her and her sister-in-law was too great, and she couldn't talk to each other at all, so she soon felt that the current scene was a little embarrassing.
Bian Rui lowered his head and picked the chicken head rice and didn't notice the embarrassment on his girlfriend's face, but fortunately, Aunt Twelve noticed.
"Hey, little nineteen," the twelfth aunt shouted Yan Lan.
Yan Lan didn't understand it all of a sudden, waiting for her to figure out that this was calling her face to her neck, generally speaking, women are called in the countryside, and the elders use the words of the elders, the peers are uncles and sisters-in-law, and the juniors are like this, Bian Rui is ranked nineteen, and the twelfth aunt calls Yan Lan the nineteenth family, simple and clear!
However, some feminists will have opinions about this title, thinking that women have no status attached to men or anything, but fortunately, the villagers are not idle to the point of these feminists, and this title is just a title for everyone.
"Don't call me that, you still have to call me Yan Lan, or Xiao Yan," Yan Lan said immediately.
Aunt Twelve smiled: "Sooner or later!"
Yan Lan didn't know what to say, so she had to laugh dryly.
Aunt Twelve asked, "Xiao Yan, when will your house be ready?" I see that the yard is not bad, when your family is done, if the price is right, let your gardener show our family?"
The fourteenth aunt heard this and said directly: "Sister-in-law, that's not cheap, our head of the house has asked, a yard is this number!
After speaking, he stretched out a slap and shook it in the air.
"Wouldn't it, so expensive?" Aunt Twelve was stunned for a moment, even if it was more expensive in her heart, it was only twenty or thirty thousand yuan, who knew that this figure was several times what she expected before.
"Is it really so expensive?" Aunt Twelve confirmed to Yan Lan.
Yan Lan said politely, "Why don't I let him take a look at your yard?"
The designer is Yan Lan's best friend, who grew up in a small yard, and the old man Yan got along very well with the girl's father when he set up a team, and the two families later became good friends.
Aunt Twelve immediately waved her hand and said, "This is not good, this is not good! It's too expensive, if I nod my head, your Twelfth Uncle will have to pump me."
Even if the villagers are brothers, this matter is very clear, everyone knows where the boundary is with others, what the rules are, so that they naturally get along harmoniously.
"It's okay," Yan Lan said.
The new bureau of Old Man Yan's house is not small, it can be said that it is only slightly smaller than Bian Rui's house, and it is the second largest house in the village.
Bian Rui saw that if the design plan can be built as it is, it is really very brilliant, it is a small garden in the south of the Yangtze River, which leads in the living water, and also builds a small pavilion, with mountains and rivers in the painting, although it is far less than the Soviet-style famous garden, but it is very brilliant in the small courtyard of ordinary people.
The yard is outstanding, but some things have to be done by Bian Rui, such as ancient trees or something, fortunately, the house is in Bian Rui's name, and collecting money is just a change of hands in the village, and it is still ten years later. Bian Rui wrapped all the wood in the yard, and folded in two solid ancient trees.
"Not really!"
The fourteenth aunt said: "Xiao Yan, forget it, your twelfth aunt is not polite to you."
"By the way, Xiao Yan, why do I take those two bears with her every time I see her? Go back and tell your mother, this bear is less fed, it is not good to feed them all day long, it costs too much money" Aunt Fourteen immediately changed the topic.
Speaking of this, it was Yan Lan's turn to sigh: "I want to too, but I can't persuade it, not only I can't even help my father, my mother likes two bears."
The old lady likes two bears that is really famous in the village, in fact, this matter is not difficult to understand, the old lady is old, and there are no grandchildren or anything to accompany her, the daughter is busy all day and is almost not at home, and the wife can sit for a long time with a magnifying glass and a painting and calligraphy, and there is no one to say, let alone any lonely person.
Now Xiong Da and Xiong Er just fill this vacancy, Guan Jian is two bears are really likeable, the old lady went to the vegetable garden in the morning to choose vegetables, the two bears took turns to hold the basket for her, the old lady sat for a while, and the two bears had to give her a kettle or something. In short, in the eyes of the old lady, these two grandsons are fine except that they can't speak.
"Ever since Xiong Er gave her a piece of finger-length honey, my mother has been more fond of them," Yan Lan said.
"What honey?" the twelve aunts gossiped.
Listening to Yan Lan tell a little story about honey, Aunt Fourteen sighed and said: "That's not strange, the two bears also really like her, and the bears can think of people when they dig out honey, so there is really nothing to say about this feeling."
Honey is life for the bear, let alone a person, even if it is his own child, the bear may not be willing to give, and now he can bring back the honey the size of his finger and give it to Mrs. Yu, which proves that the bear has relied on her to the extreme.
Bian Rui had heard this story, and it happened two days ago. That is, two days ago, the two bears had a new piece of equipment when they were eating-rice pockets.
A group of women just chatted like this, Bian Rui had already cut a lot of chicken head rice, and he felt that it was almost enough, so Bian Rui was not ready to cut it.
"Let's go, go back and peel the chicken head rice, aunts and sisters-in-law, you cut slowly," Bian Rui said.
"Little Nineteen, give me your bamboo knife, my old bamboo knife is split"
"Okay, you can keep it, I don't need it" Bian Rui smiled and threw the bamboo knife in his hand to the sister-in-law who spoke.
Saying goodbye to his sister-in-law and aunts, Bian Rui and the two rode home on a little sheep, Yan Lan rode a bicycle, and Bian Rui sat in the back, carrying a half basket of chicken head rice in his hand.
Jitou Mitangzi is a little far from the village, and to return to the village, you have to pass through a small lake, and you have to drive over the embankment of the lake for about a mile.
When Bian Rui and the two arrived at the lake embankment, they saw the liveliness in the lake, a group of hairy children kept tossing in the water, and they were not afraid of the scorching sun, and they all looked like they came from Africa. Adults in their twenties and thirties are in the shade of trees, either on big tires or on a swimming ring they bought.
As for the embankment, there are a group of old men and old women, playing mahjong or chess under the shade of the trees, if it is too hot, they go into the water to cool off, and continue to play after coming up. At this time, the work in the field cannot be done every day, and if you go uphill for a day, you will die.
Now the weather is in the afternoon, the village is not easy to stay, the empty and windy lake embankment is the best place to cool off, not to mention the hot time you can take a bath. So most of the old and young masters in the village gathered here to enjoy the coolness.
When he was about to leave the road leading to the village on the lake, Bian Rui asked Yan Lan to stop the car and stood by the river with the basket.
Yan Lan asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"
"I look at the stupid cow," Bian Rui found the stupid cow after speaking.
The water around the lake is not deep, and even if it is deep, the water quality is excellent, and you can easily see the bottom of the small lake for four or five meters.
The Dumb Cow was holding his breath in the water at this time, and next to the Dumb Cow were two small ponies, and these two goods were also holding their breath in the water like the Dumb Cow at this time.
"You two stupid things, the stupid cow is a buffalo, can you two still be seahorses?" Bian Rui felt that the whole family was not in arrears of IQ, and you were more breathless than the buffalo when you took a bath? Or do you think you are also a buffalo? Stupid or not!
After Bian Rui finished speaking, he looked at the three things under the water, and it was strange for Bian Rui to look at it for a while, because the two little ponies actually held back in the water for half a minute, this is still what Bian Rui saw, and Bian Rui didn't know how long it was in front.
After another half a minute of looking at their watches, the two ponies stuck their heads out of the lake, snorted twice, and sank again.
"I'm going to go, you two are going to heaven," Bian Rui said.
Bian Ruizhen has never seen a horse holding his breath in the river. I've seen it on TV, but it's called a hippopotamus.
