Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Han Family's Drying Field

Just after noon, Zhang Xiaofeng staggered to the field with a basket on his back. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 As soon as I put down the basket, I shouted at everyone to come over for lunch.

Luo Qinian was thirsty and tired, and they were almost so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs before they looked forward to her.

Father Han, a foodie, couldn't help but go hungry, and Zhang Xiaofeng came late and had already made him angry. Look at the dishes that are laid out, all the pigmented dishes, and you can't even find a little minced meat. couldn't help but bluff: "The third family, go to cut some meat at night, you can't work and eat well and have no strength." ”

Zhang Xiaofeng was aggrieved, Luo Qinian cooks on weekdays, she hasn't touched the stove for a long time, and it took a lot of effort to cook a meal today, even if she didn't get praise, she was reprimanded. And with such a big basket of food, so heavy, she has worked very hard all the way. Her nose was sour. At this time, the white clouds blocking the sun in the sky were blown away by the wind, and the blazing sun shone through, stabbing her eyes and causing her tears to flow silently.

Father Han happened to see it, and his old face couldn't hold back, and he was slightly red. He didn't mean to say anything about her, he just wanted to eat something delicious and make him feel like he was so picky. Besides, she really doesn't look good.

"You can't stop eating it. Han Xuan and they were not easy to talk to, so Han's mother gave a chopstick dish to Han's father, and then said, "The third family, cut more meat at night." Also, third child, wait for a few of you to go to the field after lunch to pick some eels, and add vegetables in the evening. ”

"Hey!" Han Jie likes activities like fishing, digging yellow eels and loaches the most. After eating lunch in three or two, he was not afraid of the heat or tiredness, and carried the fish basket to find loaches and yellow eel holes in the open space after cutting the grain. Han Xuan and the two of them also sped up their meals and went to dig yellow eels together.

Luo Qinian was depressed to stay with Han's mother, so she hurriedly had lunch and ran to Han Xuan to learn to find loaches.

Han Xuan inserted his hand into the small puddle, and then pulled out a fat yellow-bellied loach.

Luo Qinian was amazed, and curiously studied the hole where Han Xuan caught the loach just now: "How do you know that there must be a big loach?"

"You see, the loach hole is about the same as the eel hole, the thickness of an adult's finger. However, the loach hole is shallower than the eel hole, and you can touch the loach with one hand to dig down. But the eel hole is so deep that you have to dig through the mud to see it. ”

"Oh. Luo Qinian nodded, indicating that he had learned. Then she crouched down and searched for the loach hole, inch by inch. She didn't dare to catch an eel, even if it wasn't a snake and wouldn't bite, but it looked too penetrating.

She has good eyesight and better luck. After a while, I saw many loach holes. Then learning the method that Han Xuan taught her, she first carefully put one hand into the hole, and when she touched a soft and slippery thing, she put her hands together and "held" a fat loach with a gray back and a yellow belly.

"Phewβ€”the loaches and the beards. She bared her teeth and grinned, and tossed and turned the loaches for a while, before reluctantly putting the "results" into the basket, and then continued to look for the loaches. Poor loach was so bad that she had no strength to resist, and was thrown into the fish basket half dead.

Han Jie laughed: "Sister-in-law, go home and let the eldest brother weave a loach for you to play with." ”

Luo Qinian was surprised: "Han Xuan can still make up things?"

"Of course!" Han Jie was proud: "The men in our family can make things." However, the eldest brother is more skillful, in addition to weaving baskets and the like, he can also weave small gadgets such as sparrows and crickets. When Han Xiu was a child, she loved to cry, and her eldest brother used these gadgets to laugh. ”

Luo Qinian pouted, she prefers living things. She approached Han Xuan and asked quietly, "Why don't we keep a guard dog?"

"When I was younger, I had a dog at home. Later, Xiu'er thought that the dog's hair was too dirty, so she slaughtered it. ”

"Oh, what a pity. ”

Han Xuanmo was busy spending this time going to pick up a puppy and go home for her to play.

"What about cats? Cats don't shed their hair. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Cats catch mice and eat them, and they eat mice and don't eat their fur......"

Luo Qinian's black line, aren't all cats like this?

"So, we don't have cats and dogs at home? No wonder there are so many rats in the kitchen and cellar...... That rat also hates it, he is not afraid of people, and he dares to sneak up on the beam of the house in broad daylight to steal food!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ My dad and I had several rat traps in the kitchen and cellar. ”

"Well, it's all blocked by rats with stone branches. ”

"...... "When he gets home tonight, he's going to check it out right away!"

A few people caught the loaches and began to load the truck. The cut millet is carried to the cart and then pulled to the threshing field to dry the grain. Luo Qinian stopped cutting the grain and was sent to the barnyard.

There are five threshing farms in the village, which are located in the east, west, north and south of the village, and there are two threshing farms in the south of the village. Father Han, they came today to the smaller threshing field in the south of the village.

"This barn belongs to ours. Father Han pointed to the flat and smooth barn with a smug expression.

Sure enough, Luo Qinian's jaw dropped in shock: "Dad, our old Han family is so rich!"

"Where, where. Father Han was modest, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was grinning to the root of his ears.

Father Han and Han Xuan turned over the rice with a cutting, and dried it evenly on the field. Then he instructed Luo Qinian to go to a small earthen house on the edge of the barn to hide from the sun, and then drove the ox cart back to the field to cut the grain.

Luo Qinian was bored, so he walked around the barnyard. She saw a lot of bean sprouts. It is estimated that someone dried soybeans here a few days ago, and then it rained and the harvest did not fall in time. She took off her hat and picked up the sprouts that had just grown two pale yellow leaves, ready to make a cold bean sprout for the evening. Well, it's not bad to stir-fry with pork...... The mouth automatically secretes saliva, well, she is also a foodie, and the meal at noon today is too unpalatable, and she is not full.

She picked it up, and a pair of white boots wearing exquisite workmanship suddenly appeared in front of her, and looked up along the boots, and the dog was screaming, it was actually Li Xianren!

She stood up and turned, intending to pick up bean sprouts on the other side of the barn.

"Erya......" Li Xianren called out to her, and called her affectionate.

Luo Qinian didn't want to pay attention to him, and strode forward with his hat.

Li Xianren caught up and stopped in front of her: "Erya, you ...... How are you doing?"

Luo Qinian raised his eyebrows: "Does it have anything to do with you whether I'm doing well or not?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I like you. I know you also like me, otherwise you wouldn't have been married to Han Dazhuang for so long and still guarded me like a jade. ”

Luo Qinian's face turned red, he was shy, and he was angry!"Bah, who guards you like jade, it's okay to go back to your house!"

Li Xianren looked at the intoxicating red lump on her face obsessively, and her warm eyes were dyed with tender colors: "Erya, come with me." ”

Luo Qinian's hateful gaze met his tender eyes, and for a moment he drowned in them, dizzy, and didn't know what day it was. It was as if she had returned to her previous life when they were newly married, and her life was so sweet and happy......
