Chapter 18 The harvest is complete

Shen Chengyao saw that Xiao'er could cook the meal by herself, and his heart was both relieved and heartbroken. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Lu Shi originally planned to come back and cook again, who would have thought that Xiao'er's half-old child could also cook well, and the two younger ones also knew how to boil water and boil ginger soup, and their hearts were also very moved. Some people in this family really can't even compare to children.

Several adults also hurriedly took a shower, changed their clothes and went out to eat. I thought that Xiao'er would be good if she could cook those meals, but she didn't expect to be able to eat such delicious meals.

Everyone was so hungry that they all started to eat in large gulps. The cooking skills of the Liu family and the Lu family in the Shen family are good, but today the Lu family is a little inferior, and the dishes they cook are not even as good as a child.

"Xiao'er, this is your first time cooking, your mother really teaches well, this meal is better than the fourth aunt. ”

In fact, in the case of limited seasonings, the vegetables can be so delicious of course, relying on space water, the chestnuts are planted in the space, and the cabbage and cucumbers are also borrowed by Xiao'er to pick vegetables from the vegetable garden and secretly dropped from the space. The water used for cooking is also space water, can it not be fragrant?

"Is it really delicious? Then make more for the fourth aunt to eat. At this time, Xiao'er could only say some words that children were happy to be recognized, and it was a bit abnormal to be able to cook so well for the first time. Fortunately, the original owner used to help the Liu family with housework, and he didn't see much how the Liu family cooked, and the Liu family would also mention a few words from time to time.

"The fourth aunt is waiting. Lu Shi happily replied.

"It's delicious, it's even better than your mother's cooking!" Shen Chengyao nodded as he ate.

"Daddy, doesn't the food cooked by my mother taste good?, I want to tell my mother when I come back!" Xiao'er joked.

"Daddy didn't say that your mother's cooking was not delicious, and you kid has learned to sue!" the others laughed.

A few people talked and laughed and ate the food.

After eating, all the strength returned, and several people refused to sit for a while and went down to the field to harvest again. Last night there was a heavy wind and rain, which blew all the seedlings down, and the ears of grain fell on the field, and if they were not harvested as soon as possible, they would soon sprout in the field, and the grain would be wasted.

The three siblings also help with threshing at home, although slowly, they can do as much as they can. This kind of threshing is really tiring, and when the next season of rice is harvested, she must design a threshing machine.

Xiao'er swept up the kang and put the threshed rice on the kang to dry, although she had space and could put it in the space, so she didn't have to worry about germination, but there was a way to dry the moisture on the surface of the rice, and then take the others into the space to dry, so that Shen Chengyao would have a reason to deal with it.

Kang this thing, in fact, is also the father of the old man Shen, that is, the old lady Shen fled from the north, and later took root here, and it was built in the winter when it was too cold to stand it, and the people here used to sleep on wooden beds, but in the winter, the poor people, the quilt did not have one more bed, it was too cold, so they gradually switched to the kang, after all, the firewood went up the mountain to cut it, and there was a lot of strength, unlike quilts and cotton clothes that had to spend silver to buy. Old lady Shen also relied on this craft to support her family.

Shen Chengyao, Shen Chengzu and the Lu family are harvesting in the field during the day, and they have to thresh again at night. After four days of busy work, the remaining two families were finally harvested with eight acres of high-quality fields and four acres of medium-sized fields. The sky finally cleared. It rained for three days, which definitely had an impact on the crops in the field, and Xiao'er's family had the latest harvest, so some of them sprouted, but fortunately there were not many.

After harvesting the rice, we will harvest peanuts, corn, sweet potatoes, soybeans and sesame seeds in the dry land. At this time, Xiao'er and several children also came to help, Xiao'er found that there was a problem with the cultivation method here, sweet potatoes do not have high requirements for land, sweet potatoes should be planted in sand, and the soil for sesame planting should be high and dry, deep soil, soft soil, and fertile soil is better, and it will have to be changed next year.

Originally, Old Man Shen and Shen Chengyao both said that they would harvest the rice in the field first, and then harvest the crops in the field, but the Li family refused to say that it was still a family that harvested all and then collected the second one, so as not to mess up it after getting it, and then re-dividing it, and then after collecting their own family, they would use the excuse to slip away.

But eat a mat and grow wise. For the two brothers Shen Chengyao and Shen Chengzu, it may not be a good thing. There are many people in the world who can help others unconditionally without asking for anything in return, but there is no calculation or deliberate taking advantage of them. Whoever is calculated too much will no longer be led by your nose, but will only stay away from you. The more kind-hearted people are, the more they compare their hearts to others. A person who is good to himself will definitely be better to the other party, and to a person who is just thinking about calculating and taking advantage of himself, a person with impure motives, he will not calculate you in the same way, he will only stay away from you, and what you don't know is that letting such a person stay away from you is the biggest loss.

After the weather cleared, Xiao'er and the other two little ones also went down to the field to help pull peanuts. Three-year-old Jing Jie can't help much, but he has fun in the field by himself, and he won't let adults worry and hinder them from working.

After a month of hard work, I finally finished harvesting all the crops in the field. But it is not finished yet, it has to be dried, threshed, and put into storage. Shen Chengyao and Shen Chengzu have lost a lot of weight, and they have also become dark. This is still with the help of Xiao'er Space Water. Some people fell ill because of the rain to grab the harvest, but fortunately, there was a doctor Luo living in the village, who was skilled in medicine and the fees were cheap.

Liu is also out of confinement, and Shen Chengyao plans to pick her up and go home. I just brought it up, and several children wanted to follow along. Shen Chengyao thought that the children had also returned to their grandmother's house during the Chinese New Year, so he agreed.

Shen Chengyao set up the ox cart, and the family happily rushed to the direction of the county seat. Liu's maiden home is just the opposite of the town. Instead, it's close to the county. Therefore, the people in their village generally do not come to the town to catch the market, but go to the county.

When Xiao'er felt that she was about to be shaken apart, the oxcart finally arrived in Guishu Village, and Jing Hao took the lead in jumping off the oxcart and ran to her grandmother's house, shouting as she ran: "Grandma, I'm here." ”

Liu's maiden home is at the end of the village in Guishu Village, near the official road. Liu's mother, Liu Lin, heard it in the house, and hurriedly came out of the house, and was very happy to see that it was really her son-in-law who came with her grandson. caught Jing Hao, who rushed into his arms: "Oh, my Jing Hao hasn't seen me for a month, and it seems that he has grown taller." ”

"Really, I've grown taller, no wonder I think my pants are short. Shen Jinghao was very happy to hear this, he hoped that he could grow up quickly, so that he could help his father and mother do more work, and they would not have to work so hard.

Shen Chengyao also got off the ox cart: "Mother, I'm here to pick up Minling home." I'm sorry for you this time," he said as he unloaded the ox cart.

"What are you talking about, what trouble is there in your own family. ”

"Grandma. Shen Jingrui and Xiao'er also jumped out of the ox cart to greet Liu Lin.

"Hey, grandma's good grandson, you're thirsty, go in and drink some water. Liu Lin took the rope in Shen Chengyao's hand and led the cow to the backyard to tie the rope.

Shen Chengyao pushed the ox cart into the yard, and then moved the things in the cart down, Shen Chengyao brought a bag of newly harvested fifty catties of rice, fifty catties of peanuts, ten catties of soybeans, one catty of sesame seeds, and two catties of dried chestnuts, which Xiao'er picked from the mountains before, Liu was worried that he would not be able to finish eating when he was at home before, and he was fine lying on the bed, so he peeled off the shell and coat of the leftovers, and dried the chestnuts inside to preserve.

At this time, Xiao'er's uncles, Tan and Liu, heard the movement and walked out. The family greeted each other affectionately.

Shen Chengyao moved the things he brought to the kitchen, and Liu Lin and Tan both said that they didn't need to bring so many things, it was too expensive.

"It's all new grain that has been newly harvested at home, and I have brought some of it over to my mother, eldest brother and sister-in-law to taste. You don't have to spend money. "In the past, there was no separation, and every year during the New Year, Shen Zhuang's family gave them 20 Wen to prepare a New Year's gift, and at the end of the year, they could only send it during the New Year, but his mother-in-law never threw face, and he felt very guilty. This year, I broke up, so I brought some more things.

Hearing that there was no need to spend money, Liu Lin was relieved, and her son-in-law had a heart, she was also very happy, not because she was greedy for this thing, but because of that heart, which indirectly showed that he attached great importance to Liu. That's what she's most happy about.

Liu Lin's family is also hard-working, and he has not been married for three years, and he has endured his mother-in-law's cold words, tribulations, and all kinds of difficulties. Later, the mother-in-law brought a flat wife to her husband, and gave birth to her eldest son in a year, and she lived a life that was not as good as a maid. Later, she finally became pregnant with her uncle Liu Minhong and Liu, who gave birth to Xiao'er one after another, but they were used to being called, and the family was also used to being called, and Liu Lin's was also soft, so even his son and daughter lived a hard life. Until Old Man Liu passed away and was swept out of the house by his wife, he still relied on Tan's mother's family to borrow a former old house to give them a place to stay. Later, Liu Minhong went to the county's timber shop as an apprentice for more than ten years, and every month from dozens of Wen to the current 500 Wen, life gradually got better, but because there was no land at home, only two acres of land were opened by clearing wasteland, so life was actually still difficult.

The aunt brought a bowl of water to several people, and after Shen Chengyao drank the water, he held his daughter who he hadn't seen for almost a month and teased, unwilling to let go for a long time. Liu also let him, and he went to help his sister-in-law cook.

Jing Rui and Jing Hao followed their twin cousins Liu Zhiwen and Liu Zhiwu to the river to fish. Xiao'er was dragged by her cousin Liu Jingshu to pick dates to eat. A jujube tree was planted in front of the door where Xiao'er's grandmother got married, and the fruit this year is big and sweet.

Xiao'er wanted to go fishing, so she smuggled some fish into the space by the way: "Cousin, I want to go to the river to catch fish, let's come back and pick dates again, my brother is very good at climbing trees, let him climb the tree to pick." ”

"Turns out you're also a monkey, okay, let's go fishing first. "Liu Jingshu is a girl with a very hearty personality, 14 years old this year, with a delicate appearance, and her eyebrows and eyes are crooked when she laughs, much like the moon in the sky. Usually Wenwen is quiet, but she is also very open to play, how to describe her? Xiao'er thought of a sentence: quiet as a virgin, moving like a rabbit.
