Chapter 232 Meat
On the way back to his grandfather's house, Li Liang carried a basket full of food, and there were busy farmers on both sides of the road, some of whom were threshing rice, and some of whom had already made rice and began to bundle the threshed straw. After these straws are dried, they are not only firewood for cooking at home, but also fodder for cattle in winter.
Li Liang and his sister Li Meng have a lot of experience in farm work, they didn't mention it when they were young, and after they went to junior high school, basically every summer Li Shuangzhu would send their sister and brother back to the village to help harvest rice, so Li Liang was very familiar with doing these farm work.
"Ryoko, you're back!"
"Mengmeng, you brought delicious food to your grandparents again?"
Along the way, people greeted Li Liang and Li Meng warmly, their sisters and brothers often mixed up in the village when they were children, and they were very familiar with the people in the village.
At this time, in the rice field on the side of the road, a middle-aged man with dark skin and a stocky figure who was threshing rice on the threshing machine saw Li Liang and Li Meng, stopped his work, and said to Li Liang with a smile: "Mengmeng, Liangzi, you came back just in time, today your grandparents and your uncle seem to be harvesting rice on the 'Daegu', you go and help!"
This middle-aged man Li Liang is very familiar, and Li Liang should call him the third uncle according to his generation.
"Okay, third uncle, let's go take a look!" Li Liang responded.
'Daegu' is a place name in the village, Li Liang's second uncle Li Shuangjiong's family has a field in Daegu, Li Liang used to follow his grandfather there to cut rice.
When he arrived in Daegu, Li Liang saw his grandparents and his second uncle's family working in a field in the distance.
"Grandpa, second uncle, Haohao!" Li Liang shouted.
Haohao's ears were sharp, he put down the sickle in his hand, and responded: "Brother Liang, we are here!"
"Mengmeng, Liangzi, why did you come here, go home quickly! It's too hot here!" Li Liang's grandmother and second aunt said at the same time.
Li Liang and his sister greeted the elders, and Hao Hao and Yin Yin were very happy when they saw their cousins coming. The two of them were rightly lazy, and they all gathered at the ridge where Li Liang stood.
"Grandma, second aunt, my mother bought some food, there are pork belly, this weather is too hot, let's go back and clean up the meat first!" Mengmeng said.
"Mom, it's better for you to go back, it's almost noon, go back and cook!" Li Liang's second aunt Meng Qingxiu said.
"Okay, Haohao, Yinyin, you can go back with me!" Li Liang's grandmother, Qian Sanmei, was also a little distressed about her little grandson and granddaughter, and beckoned Li Hao and Li Yin to go back to rest together.
Meng Qingxiu opened her mouth, wanting to stop her son and daughter, but hesitated for a while, and finally didn't open her mouth.
Several people returned home, Li Meng and her grandmother started to prepare lunch very sensibly, Li Liang asked her grandmother to take out the two pieces of meat from the family, and there were still three pieces of meat left in the basket, which were to be sent to Li Liang's grandmother and uncle and second uncle's family.
"Grandma, you guys get busy first, I'll go and send this meat to my grandmother and uncle!" Li Liang said to grandma.
"Okay, go and come back quickly, remember to go back to grandma's house for dinner at noon!" Li Liang's grandmother admonished.
"Got it!" Li Liang responded.
"Brother Liang, I'll go with you!" Li Hao took the initiative to ask.
"Good!"
In the past few days, he has been tired from Pengcheng, and he has been cutting rice with the adults in his family every day before dawn, and after coming back in the evening, he has to harvest the millet on the flat ground that is tamped in the yard, and he is very busy every day.
Today, his cousin and cousin came to the house, and he was let go by his compassionate grandmother and mother, and gave them a holiday.
"Brother Liang, why did you come, I've been dying of exhaustion at home these days!" Li Hao raised his arm, "Look, my arms are tanned!"
Li Liang smiled and cheered: "Haohao, then you have to study harder, and in the future, like my uncle, you won't have to work in the field in the future!"
Listening to Li Liang's words, Li Hao sighed a little: "Hey, my uncle's brain is too good! I used all my strength to get in the top three in the class." I heard our teacher say that when my uncle used to study, he didn't spend much effort, and he easily ranked first in the grade every time!
Well, that's an unsolvable question. Just like Li Liang in his previous life, although he was smart, he just went to a secondary school, and he didn't dare to challenge a high school with a lower difficulty, after all, the difficulty of the college entrance examination is not comparable to the high school entrance examination. However, after being reborn in this life, he found that his brain was much better, not only relying on the memories of his previous life to compile the memory method, but also pioneered the compilation of teaching and auxiliary materials for junior and senior high schools, and has now been handed over to the county education bureau to manage the sales of 20,000 copies of each issue of the "Middle School Student Study Newspaper"!
Li Liang's grandmother's house is in the village next door to his grandfather's house, and Li Hao is also very familiar with this area. Li Liang carried the basket and Li Hao to his grandmother's house first, and his grandmother happened to be at home.
"Grandma!" Li Liang shouted.
"Grandma!" Li Hao also shouted after Li Liang.
"Liangzi, why are you here?" Li Liang's grandmother was sitting at the door of the hall, threshing the ears of rice with her hands.
Since Li Liang's brother-in-law and his wife followed Li Liang to find a new job in the city last year, the couple gave the family's land to Li Liang's uncle and second uncle to plant.
In addition to helping her two eldest sons and second sons dry millet every day, Li Liang's grandmother basically took care of pigs and a flock of chickens and ducks at home. However, she is an idle old woman, and when she has free time, she often carries a snakeskin bag to other people's fields after harvesting and picks up some ears of rice that have been caught in the net.
She is now threshing the ears of rice she has picked up with her hands.
"Grandma, are my eldest aunt and second aunt at home?" asked Li Liang.
"Not at home, your aunt and aunt, as well as your cousins and cousins, they all went to the ground early in the morning. By the way, your eldest and second uncles are now working in your brother-in-law's Jian'an company, and during this time, your brother-in-law has arranged for your brother-in-law to go to the construction site in Weizhen to help your brother-in-law build a house!" said Li Liang's grandmother.
"Grandma, I know, I saw the eldest uncle and the second uncle on the bus just now!" Li Liang said with a smile, and then raised the basket in his hand, "Grandma, this is the vegetable that my mother bought for you and your uncle and second uncle's house, the weather is hot, you go and help your uncle's house clean up the meat first!"
"Ah, so much meat!" Li Liang's grandmother took the basket in Li Liang's hand and opened it to see that there were three pieces of pork belly in the basket, weighing more than ten catties!
"Yes, grandma, you go and cut it and go to the pot to oil it!" Li Liang said.
In the hot weather in summer, fresh meat cannot stand up, so it must be cut immediately and oiled in a pan.
