Chapter 78: Burning Ears of Wheat

In this era, although new happy events were advocated, and men settled in women's homes, there were almost no real things to do, unless it was a desperate family and a man's family with special difficulties.

In comparison, the daughter-in-law scheduled in Hantun Village is not satisfactory, although there are a few signs of it, but the girl is thin-skinned, and none of them spit out, so angry that the uncle and grandfather glared when they saw the few young people chasing the girl.

However, the ending was good, and after the battle, three of the female team members who lived in Hantun got married.

They all took a fancy to the affluent life in Hantun Village, at least they had food to eat, unlike most villages outside the embankment, which eat sweet potatoes all year round.

The people here have a saying: "Sweet potato rice, sweet potato bun, you can't live without sweet potato", which refers to the living conditions of the villages outside the embankment.

The people in the beach area said more appropriately: "The south wind blowing over has the smell of sweet potatoes", and some people even proudly blew the atmosphere: "The broom pimple in the river beach can marry a daughter-in-law with a hat."

It's not just the gluttony, but the wild vegetables in the mall are also about to run out. I haven't been to the river beach for more than ten days, and the alfalfa fed to pigs and sheep is all cut back by Haohao after school.

On April 15, the giveaway activity in the consignment store ended, and few people came, and the whole family also relaxed.

Youyou followed Gui Ping to the river beach, out of the village to see, the wheat mangs are yellow, the wheat ears are large and neat, the wheat grains are full, in Gui Ping's words: "My father said that this year's wheat is good, and the wheat grains are arched and grinning." ”

Gui Ping dragged an ear of wheat with her hand, rubbed off the skin with her hands, and handed it to Youyou. You put it in your mouth, full of fragrance, with a hint of sweetness, "It's delicious!"

"When I get to the river beach in a while, I will give you ears of roasted wheat, which is much more delicious than this. Gui Ping told Youyou that they had been eating ears of wheat for the past few days.

The alfalfa on the river beach was almost a foot high, one in the east and one in the west, and the nearby ones were cut unevenly by everyone. Gui Ping led Youyou into the distance, and the alfalfa in the east grew much better.

Four bolts and several of them came, running around digging for saffron. When he saw Yoyo, he stood up and asked loudly, "Yoyo, are you done with your family?"

"I'm done, I won't send scarves in the future, and I'm out of stock. Tomorrow I will go with my grandmother to buy goods. ”

"Your grandma really loves you, let you follow you wherever you go. Yoyo, what's a big city like, okay?"

"I helped my grandma settle the accounts, and of course my grandma took me. "Yoyo deliberately ostentatious.

"Yoyo, it's still hello, your mother teaches and teaches you to read and settle accounts. The little partner said enviously.

"You should also go to school, and then go to work in the big city. "Yoyo encouraged them.

"My father won't let me go. Sizhuo said aggrievedly.

"I'll teach you in a moment. Yoyo promised.

Covered by alfalfa, a large number of robots were released leisurely, digging saffron, and running into the space to collect it. Gui Ping instructed her: "Yoyo, you just dig close, don't run far." ”

"Got it. Yoyo continued to run. Jokes, follow yourselves to cheat.

After digging for more than an hour, several people gathered together to rest. Yoyo took out a handful of sugar cubes and gave them to eat. The little friend was used to it, so he took it and said, "Wait for you, I'll give you an ear of roasted wheat to eat." ”

Gui Ping and Jing Yun gathered a bunch of hay and firewood sticks, Jing Yun took out a box of matches, poured out half a basket of wheat ears with four bolts, and everyone tied the wheat ears into handfuls and put them on the lit fire.

When the wheat is gone, and the ears of wheat turn golden brown, they set aside to cool, and then burn a handful. After a while, one person burned two or three fires, and the fire was about to be extinguished. I dug up some earth next to it and buried the fire.

Everyone rubbed the burned ears of wheat with their hands and blew out the wheat with their mouths, leaving the brown grains of wheat.

You hand it to Yoyo, and she hands it to Yoyo. The golden wheat grains with a little scorch marks, eat it leisurely in the mouth, it is chewy and chewy, and the fragrance, burnt fragrance and wheat fragrance are mixed together, which is really a rare delicacy.

After eating the ears of burnt wheat, Yoyo fulfilled his promise and began to teach everyone to read and write. Teach everyone's name first, Jingyun has been in school for three years, teaching Guiping, and Youyou teaching the four bolts and the five broken sisters.

So they took a stick and wrote their names on the ground with a stroke, and they followed suit. Not to mention, they actually wrote horizontally and vertically, which was extremely neat.

Gui Ping learned to write her own name, and shouted in a hurry: "I complain about my father, why give me such a name, it's really difficult to write." He smiled so much that he held his stomach and said "ouch", and laughed for a while when he thought about it.

A few people are older, and they learn more block, and they quickly recognize their own names.

Yoyo also teaches everyone to learn arithmetic, first recognize 1-9 numbers. Gui Ping was happy this time: "It's still easy to write." He fainted from laughing again.

Everyone rested for almost an hour, and then mowed the grass. The alfalfa grass, which is more than a foot high, was cut quickly, and after a while, everyone cut a lot, and everyone helped you cut a bunch of them.

Yoyo is still running around with a basket, but he is actually busy collecting vegetables. Seeing that the time was almost half past eleven, Yoyo put away the robot as well.

Haohao, Zhiyuan, and Zhiliang came on a bicycle, and Gui Ping and the others filled the grass in the back basket and pressed it firmly. After a while, the adults got off work and came to the river beach one after another, helped the children carry them on their backs, and went home together.

Hao Hao was carrying Yoyo in front and a sack of alfalfa in the back, pedaling the car as fast as he could. Compete with Zhiyuan to see who can ride fast, and the screams of the servants come far away.

Listening to their wanton laughter, you look at it and sigh with emotion, what a simple and happy childhood.

The garlic moss in the team came down, and the Yoyo family divided nearly ten catties. At noon, grandma fried garlic moss eggs, and the delicious smell filled the house.

The pungent fragrance reminds you of the early-maturing greenhouse garlic moss in later generations, and the refrigerated garlic moss has been placed in the cold storage for two or three years. Although garlic sprouts can be eaten all year round, they have lost their umami, so it's no wonder that people still hate eating them.

Everyone began to pickle the salted garlic moss again, saying that it could be put during the wheat harvest. Yoyo asked grandma to put the garlic moss in the cellar, which can also be put into the wheat harvest, and it is still fresh and delicious.

Grandma told her: "Silly child, pickled garlic moss is to save oil, rural people usually who fry vegetables to eat, one person has two taels of oil a month, enough to fry several times, our village is good, and you can divide three catties of oil a year." In the village outside the embankment, there is only one pound of oil a year. ”

On the sixteenth day, Yoyo was called up by his grandmother early. After a simple breakfast, I got on the donkey cart and left. I haven't come to hand over the eggs for ten days, and my grandmother brought more than 2,000 of them this time, separated by grain bran, full of two large dustpans.

It was less than seven o'clock when I arrived at Zhangji, and when I entered the gate of the food station, I saw Master Wang packing up pork. Grandma shouted, "Master Wang, chop a piece of meat." ”
