Chapter 115: On the Field of Hope

In the vast countryside of Northeast China, people have entered a busy and joyful phase since September. With the arrival of autumn www.biquge.info the crops in the fields are ripening one after another, waiting for the hard-working people to reap the fruits of their labor.

Giving will be rewarded, grandpa often said that crops will not fool people. The more effort you put in, the more you will reap when the harvest comes.

The black soil of Lishutun contains great vitality and vitality. Didn't Uncle Benshan sing in a sketch? The land is the mother, the labor is the father, what you plant, what you will end up.

From September to October, every household is busy harvesting. Corn, sweet potato, peanut, sorghum, soybean, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, young and old, the fields are filled with the joy of harvest.

When school ended early, the type carried their own small baskets with the two ends and went to the field to help.

After pulling out the peanut field, there were many fish that slipped through the net, and the little brother and sister picked up the fallen peanuts while chatting. Then follow grandpa, sit in grandpa's car, and go home together.

After harvesting peanuts, we harvested sweet potatoes. The brother and sister continued to help pick up sweet potatoes and pick the big, uninjured ones into a basket. The injured ones were picked out into a box, and the small sweet potato cubs were also picked out.

If you are not injured, you can store it in the cellar and eat it slowly. The injured ones are eaten first, and you can also distill vermicelli. The small sweet potato cubs, grandma will cook them, and then put them in the sun to dry sweet potatoes, and in winter they will become snacks, chewy and sweet.

This kind of dried sweet potato is a hundred times more delicious than the kind sold in stores when the two ends grow up. All natural, green food.

So from a certain point of view, people in the countryside are really much happier than people in the cities. Not to mention that you can buy whatever you want to eat in the city, there are some things that you really can't buy with money.

When planting sorghum, grandpa will also love the child to plant a ridge of sweet stalks. The scientific name of sweet stalk is sugar sorghum, and it can also produce grain like sorghum, but as the name suggests, the essence of sweet stalk lies in sorghum stalk. Like sugar cane, the core is very sweet after peeling and chewing the inside.

This is also a kind of snack that children love, so be extra careful when you only eat it, and don't cut your hands when peeling the skin.

In the past, when the days were hard, people were not willing to eat edamame at home before the soybeans were fully ripe.

But the days are better, and many people have begun to eat edamame, and cook them at home as a cold dish snack or something. Of course, it is still necessary to leave a few ridges and wait for the autumn to beat soybeans.

The timing of harvesting soybeans is very important, and it is necessary to wait for the sun to dry the pods and change color, and harvest them as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the harvest is late, the ripe pods will be fried in the autumn sun, and the beans will fall to the ground.

Grandpa's old-fashioned style is naturally familiar with all kinds of signals of the land, and he goes around the field every day, counts the days, gets up early in the morning, and harvests soybeans after the dew.

Naturally, Erduan and his brother continue to pick up leaks, and there will always be some pods that will be blown up, so there will still be some soybeans scattered in the ground, and picking them up is enough to grind a plate of tofu.

Because my aunt opened a tofu factory, the Zhou family planted more soybeans, which were supplied to the tofu factory after harvesting. And Dad also helped to harvest soybeans in the tunzi, so that the people in the tunzi sold the soybeans at the door of their homes, saving the old nose.

The soybeans produced in the black soil of the Northeast, the ground tofu, can be eaten with an empty mouth, and it is so fragrant.

When grandma and mother cook, they will mix tofu with tender shallots, add their own sauce, and then have a bowl of sorghum rice rice, and the small belly at both ends can make a big bowl.

After eating several stubbles of tender bud rice, the old bud rice is left on the bud rice pole, waiting for the old and young masters to break it off one by one and transport it home.

The two ends are particularly fond of the pear tree tun in autumn, and the buds are hung in front of and behind the house of every house, and they are peeled and hung to dry. This natural décor is full of a strong pastoral atmosphere.

When the air is almost dry, you have to use sorghum stalks to surround a circular stack, and store the yellow bud rice sticks in it.

When he was a child, he often climbed into the bud stack with his brother to play, like a bunker.

After threshing, the bud rice can be ground into bud rice ballast, or it can be ground into flour, pasted into cakes, and steamed dumplings. Of course, after the living conditions are better, the big guys eat rice, and the cornmeal is no longer the protagonist of the table.

The second end can understand this kind of mood of eating coarse grains for generations, and once the days are good, it is naturally not rare cornmeal.

However, after another twenty years, coarse grains have become the new favorite of people in the city, not because of bittersweet memories, but for the needs of health and health.

Therefore, when cooking at home, the two ends are often required to eat coarse grains, and they also tell their grandparents about the benefits of eating coarse grains.

Mom doesn't understand, this child, who doesn't like to eat fine grains? But grandparents support the two ends, each with its own taste. So much so that the Zhou family's dining table has never been absent from coarse grains, and the grandparents' bodies have always been very tough. It's not like some old people, but later they all got some diseases of wealth.

"Duanduan, don't go to the field tomorrow, you look at your tan, it's dark. A little girl, how can she be dark?" When I helped my mother cook on the fire at night, my mother looked at her girl's tanned little face and was dissatisfied.

The two ends smiled, and the small teeth became whiter.

"Mom, I'll cover it for white in the winter, it's okay. "The second end doesn't care, the little girl in the tunzi is much darker than her, where is she going.

"I said you, why don't you listen to it?" Chu Ruiyun glanced at each other, her white and pure little girl, she ran into the ground for half a month, and it was dark when she saw it.

I added a handful of firewood to the stove pit, and pulled the stove hook at both ends to make the fire a little stronger. Only then did he smile and support his mother: "Okay, I'll wear a straw hat tomorrow, okay?" Mom, I'm cute and wandering around the field, and my labor is glorious." ”

This is the two ends of the previous life, which is absolutely unspeakable, and she used to be full of play, and she avoided labor.

There is no way to deal with this child, Chu Ruiyun always feels quite contradictory. First, it is a good thing that the child is diligent. But on the other hand, she thinks that her daughter should be pampered.

Don't look at Chu Ruiyun's knife mouth, but her heart is softer than anyone else.

Although she married to the countryside and married Zhou Jinglin, she was willing. But sometimes she also thinks that if she stayed in the town, just because she was a high school student, her father would be able to find her a job, in that case, Duduan would be a city hukou.

This kind of idea was actually born after Chu Ruiyun saw the excellent performance of his own girl for more than a year. Especially the last time I accompanied the second end to the provincial capital to perform, I saw the little girls in the city, wearing white and clean.

Compared with others, their own girls are not bad anywhere. But the people are from the city, and they are urban hukou. But her own daughter, no matter how outstanding she is, is also a Tun girl.

An unbalanced and unwilling thought gradually emerged, making Chu Ruiyun more and more unable to see the village spirit at both ends.

And the second end is precisely because he doesn't want to look too different from the little girl in the tunzi, so he deliberately has more contact with farm work or something.

The two of them just twisted their thoughts, one wanted to make their girl look like a city person, and the other wanted to make their village angry.
