Chapter Ninety-Nine: Try
……
Zhou Shujie carried a basket and a knife, and carefully identified the green in the withered yellow grass on the ground.
Next to her were Aunt Guo and Sister-in-law Guo, each of whom took a knife and a basket for vegetables, and was looking for her mother-in-law!
They were chatting with Zhou Shujie digging vegetables while waiting for the tractor to rake the ground for her family.
I heard Aunt Guo laugh and say to Zhou Shujie: "Pillar daughter-in-law, you said that their group is not stupid." After a while, you can't see what that thing is raking the ground when you rake it to your own land, and you run back and forth with the tractor to see, a bunch of fools, haha. ”
Zhou Shujie also had a smile on his face.
Isn't it?
The curiosity of the Chinese people cannot be stopped at any time.
The ground is inevitable in front of you.
But in addition to them, there were forty or fifty people around to watch the tractor handle the ground.
Let Zhou Shujie say, what's so beautiful about that, the tractor is running in the field and whirring is dust. These fellows were very happy to see it, and they could be heard laughing from a distance of about 200 meters.
"This mother-in-law is still a little late, you see that there are few fresh ones except for the old leaves, but the roots are quite big, go home and pack up this root and eat the roots. If you want to eat the leaves, you have to wait two days. Aunt Guo chose the mother-in-law in her hand, and said to Zhou Shujie next to her.
"Isn't it? It's a little smaller, and I'll dig it again when I'm older in a few days, and I'll dig less today to try it." Zhou Shujie compounded.
Sister-in-law Zhou took over and said: "This land is not good, it grows white and shallow, and it will grow on the edge of the south ditch in a few days, where can we dig it, we can dig up the mother-in-law and dig some ginger and shallots." ”
When Zhou Shujie heard Sister-in-law Zhou's words, she hurriedly responded with a smile: "Okay, when the time comes, sister-in-law, you call me, I will also go with you to dig some ginger and shallots, and come back to make dumplings and eat my cute ginger and shallots, but I can't tell which one is ginger and which is grass." ”
Hearing Zhou Shujie say this, I made Sister-in-law Guo laugh.
Aunt Guo also smiled and said, "Haha, when I talk about this, I think of something, it's interesting." Hahaha. ”
Zhou Shujie and Sister-in-law Guo asked with a smile: "Aunt Guo (mother), what's the matter, you learn." ”
"Okay, listen, I'll learn from you. ”
Aunt Guo put the clean mother-in-law Ding into the basket, and said to them with a smile: "In the past, there were a lot of Shandong people in our village, and they only teased us when they went to the mountains with us to dig ginger and onions for the first time." It's not that they don't know each other, we have made friends several times and they said they know each other, and then we didn't care about digging each other, and we didn't look too carefully on the way home. Later, someone told us that the ginger and shallots were not delicious, hahaha! There was a smell of grass, hahaha!
"Hahahaha! It's so funny, hahahaha......" They were originally squatting on the ground, but this smile made Zhou Shujie squat and sat directly on the ground.
"Hahahaha! It's stupid, hahaha...... Their family followed her for a meal of grass...... Hahahaha......"
"Hahaha...... Sister-in-law, don't talk about it...... Hahaha...... I'm laughing to death......"
"Hehe, isn't it? She just didn't recognize it, and dug up the grass as ginger and shallots, hehe."
"Hahaha...... I don't know either, haha...... Then I didn't eat grass either, hahaha......" Zhou Shujie said with a smile on his stomach.
This matter, the mother sat there and laughed for a long time before she stopped laughing, and then she snorted when she remembered it.
When their baskets were full, they saw that the tractor was still a hundred meters away from them!
Zhou Shujie raised his hand to look at his watch, and when he saw that it was past ten o'clock, he said to Aunt Guo: "Aunt Guo is now past ten o'clock, why don't we go back first, I don't think it's our turn at noon, what are you waiting here, come back after you go home and eat." ”
When Aunt Guo heard Zhou Shujie say this, she looked up at the sun and said, "Isn't it, it's all here, let's go, let's go home and come back after dinner in the afternoon." ”
As he spoke, he carried a knife and walked home with a basket on his head.
Sister-in-law Guo and Zhou Shujie also followed closely behind.
On the way back, if you want to see a good mother-in-law, you will also squat down and dig it, and after digging, you will stand up and walk around and take it in your hand.
Sister-in-law Guo looked back at the tractor that was getting farther and farther away. Zhou Shujie, who was walking on her side, said: "Shujie, you said that this tractor is not very fast, I thought it would be able to finish a lot of work in a while." You see, you can do more than 100 meters in one afternoon. ”
Zhou Shujie nodded: "It's not fast, you see that it usually runs on the road at a speed that is not fast, it is pulling a heavy rake and running slower, but I heard that it rakes the ground is very Xuan, I don't believe you will know it in the afternoon."
Sister-in-law Guo asked curiously: "How much Xuan, is there a garden that we have turned over?" ”
Zhou Shujie thought for a while and replied: "It should be even more pronounced than that, um~ Let's put it for example, if you step on it, you will lose the surface of your foot." ”
Hearing such a metaphor, Sister-in-law Guo's eyes lit up and said, "Then I'll come back in the afternoon, I have to see how much it is." ”
Zhou Shujie said: "Well, I have to come in the afternoon, and when you see it, you will know how many choices there are." Speaking of this, she paused for a moment, and looked at Aunt Guo, who walked in front of them and left them far away, and said, "Let's go, sister-in-law, let my Aunt Guo leave us alone for a while." ”
"No, let's go up. ”
After speaking, they quickened their pace and drove towards Aunt Guo'er's back.
When they entered the village, they met the women of the village, and when they saw the vegetables in their baskets, they all gathered around and looked at them, and they all said that they would also dig a little and come back to eat, so when they went in the afternoon, they saw many women digging vegetables in the fields.
Aunt Guo and the others went home first.
Zhou Shujie, when she entered the house, first soaked her mother-in-law in water.
I wiped my hands and opened the door of the house, and I saw two second children crawling back and forth on the kang, and my mother-in-law was standing on the edge of the kang to stop them.
When they heard the door open, they looked back and saw that their mother had returned, and the two children ran to their mother with a smile and crawled over.
Zhou Shujie hurriedly picked up the two children who pounced on her.
The mother-in-law on the side smiled and asked, "Did you see how the tractor raked the ground?"
Zhou Shujie, while being amused by the two children who were squeezing their eyebrows, only laughed, and replied: "I didn't go up to see it, the tractor was gray when it ran." It's not our turn in the morning, I can't get to our house in the afternoon, mother, I'll come back to learn from you in the evening after I've finished reading in the afternoon (xve). ”
The two children took advantage of Zhou Shujie's conversation with her mother-in-law, and they had already rummaged through her chest. I'm looking for their rations, especially the obedient, the smartest, who knows how to pick up her mother's clothes.
When I saw the monkey anxiousness of these two children, I laughed at Zhou Shujie and her mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law smiled and took the steamed buns from her daughter-in-law's arms, and asked her to feed them obediently first.
Zhou Shujie put the obedient in the kang and asked her to wait, went to get a towel by herself, washed and wiped the child's granary, and then came over to pick up the obedient girl who was in a hurry and only hummed.
Zhou Shujie's milk is running out now, and it is equivalent to mouthwash for the two children.
Now, their main food is milk powder, and they have to drink milk powder at least three times a day, and sometimes Zhou Shujie will also give them some steamed buns, let them grind their teeth in their hands, and they can eat some in their stomachs.
After feeding the two children, it was already eleven o'clock, and put the sleeping son next to the daughter and let them lie down and fall asleep together.
Zhou Shujie went down to the field to make lunch for her mother-in-law.
When I arrived at the outhouse, I saw that the "mother-in-law" had been washed by my mother-in-law, so she made a potato sauce, steamed a pot of rice, and made it after a while.
Today's lunch meal is the most fragrant and the most dissipating meal for the two of them recently.
After eating and cleaning up, the mother-in-law said to Zhou Shujie: "Daughter-in-law, you lie down for a while, those rakes will come back at twelve o'clock, they must not go so early." ”
Zhou Shujie thought about it, so he took a pillow and lay down next to the child and took a nap.
With something in her heart, she couldn't sleep honestly, and she got up after half an hour of confusion.
When I went out, I passed by Aunt Guo's house, called Sister-in-law Guo again, and the two of them walked to the ground together.
There was something at home this afternoon, and Aunt Guo didn't come out.
Uncle Guo led his three sons, and he was also busy making carriages for the people who bought horses in the village!
Therefore, his house was where Sister-in-law Guo and Zhou Shujie went together.
In the afternoon, I didn't wait long in the field, and I raked to Aunt Guo's house at more than two o'clock.
Zhou Shujie's house is next to Aunt Guo's house, and it will only be three o'clock when the two of them have finished raking.
The most interesting thing is Sister-in-law Guo, in order to verify whether this place is as Zhou Shujie said, she deliberately stepped on the side several times and made a shoe of soil.
On the way back, he sighed with Zhou Shujie: "Hey, Shujie, don't say it! This machine is better than us, dragging such a pile of iron pieces and running over, and the ground has become so Xuanteng!"
"yes, why don't you call it a machine. After speaking, Zhou Shujie asked Sister-in-law Guo again: "I estimate that I will have to find the land the day after tomorrow, and I will be able to rake the land allocated to the children the day after tomorrow." Sister-in-law, will you still go the day after tomorrow?"
Sister-in-law Guo laughed and said, "I won't go, let the family not see it, and let them also see how the tractor rakes the ground." ”
The two of them chatted while walking, until they reached the gate of Aunt Guo's house.
Approaching the gate, Sister-in-law Guo also said to Zhou Shujie: "Shujie, I'll call you when I dig vegetables one day!"
Zhou Shujie nodded and said, "Okay, don't leave me behind!"
A "no," rang out as Sister-in-law Guo walked into the door.
Zhou Shujie entered the house, fed the two children, and saw that they were playing well with their grandmother after drinking milk, so she showed the children to her mother-in-law. She turned out some vegetables and went to the back garden to grow small vegetables.
When she went into the garden, she sprinkled some cabbage seeds, turnip seeds, lettuce seeds, stinky cabbage seeds, and coriander seeds, and put them around them with a rake, and covered them with a layer of soil.
The soil is still quite moist now, and she doesn't need to water anything!
He stood there and looked at it twice and thought for a moment.
Then he ran to pick up two sons of corn stalks and put them on top of the vegetable patch that had just been planted.
Actually, she wanted to put plastic to cover it, but now that there is no such thing at home, she can only retreat to using corn stalks to block them from the cool breeze at night.
When I walked out of the garden, I saw that the green onion in the green onion cage had already sent a long bud, and the tender green color made people have an appetite when they saw it, and they couldn't help but dig a bunch with a four-toothed fork, and the dish at noon had not been eaten, and it was enough to eat some potato sauce at night.
Dinner is so settled, and settled!
When she went to bed at night, she learned to her mother-in-law in detail about the tractor raking the ground, which greatly satisfied her mother-in-law's curiosity about these.
