Lan Cheng walked in, Lan Xiang had already washed her hair at this time, and asked her mother to wash it, Lan's mother nodded and said yes, and immediately got up.

Lan Cheng asked her sister to go outside to dry her hair, and Lan Xiang looked at the sun and immediately said, "It's so hot." ”

After thinking about it, he went out to dry for a while, Lan Cheng went to the kitchen lightly and began to cook on the fire.

The sun was very strong at noon, and after a while Lan Xiang came in, sweating on her face, and the heat was unbearable.

I went into the kitchen and started washing the vegetables, there was no meat at noon today, fried cabbage and bamboo shoots, and scrambled three eggs.

The two siblings were busy in the kitchen, and Lan's mother washed her hair and went outside to dry the rice in the sun, so that it would dry faster, and so did her hair, and after drying it, she returned to the hall and sat down to rest.

Thinking that before the two siblings were ten years old, Lan's father and Lan's mother worked late every day, and they only went home to cook when it was late, and the two siblings would only light the fire.

After the age of twelve, he slowly learned, and Lan's father went out to work, Lan's mother worked at home alone, and the two siblings were also diligent and sensible, so they would help when they came home.

Now I basically don't have to worry about cooking, and I will cook the food, and Lan's mother is relieved.

It didn't take long for the meal to be ready, and the two siblings called their mother to eat. The family sat down at the dinner table and began to eat.

At about nine o'clock in the morning, Ma Deze came to his father's clinic, and when he arrived, Ma's father asked him with a smile: "Deze, is Lan Xiang's family busy?"

Ma Deze picked up the peanuts and opened them before saying, "Dad, not yet, they called me back, these are peanuts given by my mother, you can eat them." ”

Father Ma smiled and said okay, put down the things in his hand, went to wash his hands, and grabbed a few to eat. The peeled red peanut grains are plump.

After eating it, Ma's father smiled and said, "These peanuts are fresh, crispy and fragrant when you bite into them, you can cook a little and eat them." ”

Ma Deze nodded and said yes, turned around and went to the kitchen, turned on the faucet to receive water, poured it into the pot, washed the peanuts with water, poured them into the rice cooker, plugged in the electricity and started cooking.

Wash the dishes that my father didn't wash, and after washing, wash the clothes that my father soaked there.

Usually Lan Xiang is here for her to do these jobs, and Ma's father is a little busy alone, so he washes it himself when he is not busy.

After Ma Deze washed and dried his clothes, the peanuts were also boiled.

Turn off the electricity, unplug it, pour the peanuts into a large bowl, pour out the water, and bring it out for Daddy to eat.

At this time, there was no one, Ma's father said okay, grabbed a few boiled peanuts to eat, and then said with a smile: "The boiled ones are also delicious, you have to eat less, and if you eat too much, you will be uncomfortable." ”

Ma Deze nodded and said okay, the two fathers and sons didn't eat half a bowl of food, and at this time, some villagers came to see the doctor, and the two fathers and sons were busy again.

After Lan Xiang's family finished lunch, Lan Xiang packed up the dishes and went to wash, and asked her mother to go to rest first, and Lan's mother said yes.

Lan Cheng went back to the house to sleep, and in the afternoon she had to pick up the grain grass back, and Lan's mother also went to sleep, after Lan Xiang washed it, she didn't go to sleep, she knew that her mother had only slept for a while at noon these days, and was busy drying peanuts and rice.

Lan Xiang found a straw hat to bring it on, and took the wooden shovel to dry the rice, the sun was strong, and it would be turned over more than a dozen times a day.

In this way, it will dry faster, the sun is big in the sun, and you can rest assured that you can dry it a few times, and you don't have to worry about moldy and spoiled insects.

Lan Xiang didn't sleep at noon today, guarding the sun to dry the rice, the peanuts were already dry, but the yard was small, and there was no place to dry.

Ma's father saw a few patients, and Ma Deze waited until it was almost noon to cook, eat a little simpler today, and go buy meat tomorrow.

Cook the dry rice in the rice cooker, wash the dishes, and wait until they are cooked, and then ask Dad to eat.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Lan's mother woke up, walked out, saw Lan Xiang sitting there dozing off, and quickly asked her daughter to sleep for a while.

Lan Xiang said okay and went back to the house, and waited until about four o'clock in the afternoon, Lan Cheng woke up, walked out, looked at the sun outside and asked her mother, "Mom, shall we go and pick up the grain grass in a while?"

Lan's mother smiled and said yes, she went into the house and asked Lan Xiang to get up, and Lan Xiang yawned.

Seeing that the weather should not rain, the family took the flat and a thousand loads, closed the door and left.

The family walked fast and it didn't take long to arrive.

Looking at the grain grass drying on the edge of the ridge, which had not yet been completely dried, Lan's mother looked at it before saying, "Let's pick it out once and go back."

After a few days, I will wait for the sun to dry before I will pick it back. Dry all the grass here. ”

The two siblings nodded and said yes, and began to hold the grain grass in both hands and turn it all over once, and then began to bundle it.

The sun is not so big now, and after working for a while, I still sweated, and the family tied up six bundles and began to carry them home.

It's still a bit heavy to pick too much grain, so you don't bundle much, and it's easy to pick it.

I made two breaks on the way and slowly picked it home, mainly the sun, so it was a bit hot. When you get home, put the straw outside on the edge of the yard. Loosen it all and dry it well.

After drying the sun, Lan's mother looked at the sun before saying, "Now let's go and cut down the firewood on the edge of the soil, there are three pieces of soil." I'll go get a knife. ”

The two sisters and brothers nodded and said okay, in the past, Dad still had a variety of grandparents' soil and fields at home, and after the grandparents died, the soil and fields were taken back to the village, and Dad Lan also went out to work.

There is cash to earn from a part-time job, which is better than at home, Lan's mother took out the sickle and kitchen knife, the two old kitchen knives have been used for ten years, Lan's mother told the two sisters and brothers to sharpen the knife first, and wait to chop firewood will be faster.

The two sisters and brothers nodded and said yes, brought water, and sharpened them on the two whetstones outside, and sharpened them every time they chopped wood, otherwise the knife would be too dull and it would be very laborious to cut.

I didn't buy a saw at home, so I had to use these tools to chop.

Mother Lan harvested the rice first, and it may not be back until the evening this afternoon, so it is better to collect it first, and the moisture has been dried, so that the sun will dry for another four days, and basically there is no need to worry about the millet will deteriorate.

The two siblings poured water on the whetstone, and put the knife on it to sharpen it back and forth, making the sound of sharpening the knife.

After about half an hour of grinding, the two siblings sharpened it, and gently tried it on the knife with their hands, and now it is very sharp.

Lan's mother also finished harvesting the rice, closed the door, and the family went out with knives and canvas gloves.

The sun had already set, and it was finally not so hot, and the family walked quickly, and it didn't take long to reach the nearest piece of dirt to the house.

When she arrived, Lan's mother told the two siblings to be careful not to cut their hands, and the two siblings nodded and said okay.

Put on the white canvas gloves, hold the grass in your left hand, hold the knife in your right hand, and start to chop carefully, all kinds of grass grow on the edge of the soil, and the leaves are a little yellow, and they bear fruit, as long as the wind blows, the fruit will fall.

The leaves of the silk grass are a little sharp, and the leaves of the leaves have white fluffy hairs, which are a little itchy to grasp in the hand, and some have small thorns.

Lan's mother told the two siblings to pay attention, especially if the thorn accidentally scraped into the hand, the needle would be pulled out, otherwise the hand would hurt.

The two sisters and brothers nodded and said okay, every time the two sisters and brothers cut firewood, they will be very careful, cut the thorny grass and open it separately, and then they don't have to pick it back, so they will light a fire here, and they will not worry about picking it back to burn firewood.

A piece of soil has two soil edges, Lan Ma and Lan Xiang cut one side, and Lan Cheng cut one side alone.

Split and chop, only to hear the wind blowing, chopping wood to make a hoho sound. After a while, Lan's mother cut faster, and she used a kitchen knife.

Lan Xiang uses a sickle, cut slowly, Lan Cheng also cut fast, with more strength, the wind blows, the fruit on the grass flutters with the wind, falls into the soil, and will grow grass again next year.

At that time, most of the countryside burned firewood, so there was no herbicide or pesticide to fight.

After some time, Lan Cheng had already cut half of it, and Lan Ma and Lan Xiang were almost finished cutting the edge of the soil.

Looking at the firewood placed next to her, Mother Lan breathed a sigh of relief, her hands hurt a little after cutting for a long time, although she was wearing gloves, Mother Lan's hands had already grown calluses.

Lan Xiang put down the sickle, wiped the sweat with her clothes, rested for a while, and continued to pick up the knife to cut.

Not long after, Lan Ma and the mother and daughter finally finished cutting the edge of the soil.

Slowly walked to Lan Cheng's side again, and Lan Cheng still had a few left to cut off.

Lan Xiang hurriedly asked her mother to give her the kitchen knife and help cut it herself.

Lan's mother smiled and said okay, give her the kitchen knife, and saw that it was getting late, and she could only cut so much today.

When Lan Cheng saw them coming, she called her mother and sister loudly, and said with a smile, "Mom, you're done chopping." ”

Lan's mother nodded yes, Lan Xiang took the kitchen knife and began to cut, the kitchen knife is easier to use, it will be a little faster.

After Lan Cheng finished speaking, he continued to slash with a knife, and Lan's mother stood next to him to rest.

It didn't take long for the chopping to finally finish, and the family hurried back.

It was almost dark, and the family quickened their pace. It didn't take long to get home. Lan's mother smiled and asked, "Lan Xiang Lan Cheng, is it okay to eat noodles tonight?"

The two sisters and brothers nodded and said yes, Mother Lan washed her hands and cleaned the pot, poured water and began to burn the fire, and the two sisters and brothers locked the chickens and ducks outside into the house and fed the rabbits and piglets.

After feeding, wash their hands, the noodles are cooked, each large bowl is filled with condiments, exuding a spicy smell, and there is a poached egg on top, and Mother Lan tells them to eat it quickly.

The two siblings smiled and said okay, the family sat down in the hall and began to eat noodles, and Lan's mother said while eating: "Lanxiang Lancheng, when your father comes back, your mother will stop planting crops and go out to work with your father."

Lan Cheng, you also finished high school and are going to study outside. Lanxiang, you learn from your dad at home, and when the pony finishes reading, you will be fine.

I'll go out with your dad, and if it's better to work outside, I'll be outside, and if not, I'll come back.

Lan Xiang, you may not be able to make money at home in the past few years, all with the money of the Pony family, after all, you are learning from your father, I am afraid that after a long time, Pony will not say that you have to have a plan. ”

Lan Xiang stopped eating noodles, sighed and said, "Mom, I know this, just look at Deze." I'll do whatever he says. ”
