The second watch, ask for a monthly pass

**

Although Old Man Xia was anxious to harvest all the wheat home as soon as possible, he was still very thoughtful to take care of the people who came to help. Although Xia Zhi said www.biquge.info, these people who asked for help would have to pay their wages at that time. But Tian Fugui will definitely not ask for wages in the first place, it is purely to help.

Even if the wages were paid, the timely arrival of these people would have helped a lot.

Moreover, there is also a large family brought by the old man of the Chen family. It doesn't matter if your family is a little tired or tired, but for the guests, you must take care of it.

Therefore, as soon as it was dark, Old Man Xia wanted to invite the big guy back to dinner.

Because Arita Fugui and the others were there, the old man of the Chen family whispered to Old Man Xia that they would not go back to eat.

"Just bring some food for you later, and cut a little more while it's not raining. "What the old man of the Chen family represents, naturally means that the Chen family is a big family.

Over there, Tian Fugui also came over to talk to Old Man Xia, and asked Old Man Xia not to be polite. "I don't know when the rain will fall, don't be in a hurry to eat, cut the wheat first. ”

Old man Xia discussed with Tian Fugui for a long time, and Tian Fugui's meaning was also to let the Xia family send some food over, and the big guy would continue to cut wheat.

Tonight, it's definitely going to be a night fight.

Not only the Xia family, but also other families who have not finished cutting the wheat plan to do so.

Old Man Xia also knew that such an arrangement was the best. Since everyone insisted on doing this, he didn't really drive people home, but hurriedly instructed Xia Zhi to hurry back and help Mrs. Xia and Tian cook. The food must be hard enough, and if there are not enough things, immediately take the money and think of buying it.

With so many people harvesting wheat in the fields, cooking became a big deal.

Xia Zhi was afraid that a few of them would not be able to keep busy, so he called Aunt Xia San and Layue over, and the big guys went home to cook together.

Mrs. Xia and the Tian family had already received the news and knew that there were many more wheat harvesters in the fields. This is a good thing, but to cook for such a few people, she and Tian are a little embarrassed.

When she saw Xia Zhi come back with Aunt Xia and Layue, Mrs. Xia immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Xia Zhi conveyed Old Man Xia's words to Mrs. Xia, and Old Mrs. Xia nodded straight and said that it should be.

"Then what kind of meals are we going to cook at night?" Mrs. Xia asked Xia Zhi, the original plan was that it would not work at all.

It has to be fast, and it has to be enough to be full, and this food can't be bad. Xia Zhi thought about it, and discussed with Mrs. Xia: "Milk, or let's roll noodles." ”

The hand-rolled white noodles with marinade are not only delicious, but also quick and easy to make. Old Lady Xia immediately nodded in response.

In order to prepare for the wheat harvest, Old Man Xia and Old Lady Xia were fully prepared. There was still some white flour at home, and they bought some more from Linshui Town.

Now she wants to make hand-rolled noodles, and Mrs. Xia is afraid that she will not be big enough to eat, so she simply moves out the noodle bags. Xia Zhi told Mrs. Xia about the number of people who cut wheat in the field, and Mrs. Xia calculated slightly, then weighed it and weighed it from the noodle bag.

Put the weighed noodles in several large basins, and Mrs. Xia, Tian and Aunt Xia began to make noodles. The summer solstice is to prepare the marinade and noodles with the wax moon.

Little Black Fish and Little Xia Lin don't have time to play. The two of them had to help pick cucumbers and wash vegetables.

The noodles are very well prepared, that is, the cucumbers are washed and wiped, and some fresh radish tassels are washed. At this time, it is mixed in noodles and eaten, which is refreshing and thirst-quenching, and can also go to the fire. As for the marinade, it is also very simple, the summer solstice beat a few eggs, cut a small pot of meat foam, plus the fungus and mushrooms that were torn up after soaking, and used the soybean sauce brewed at home to make a large pot of fragrant marinade.

The marinade is relatively thick, and with the cucumber shreds, it looks a bit like the old Beijing fried noodles she used to make before she crossed over.

Over there, Mrs. Xia, Tian and Aunt Xia also cooked three buckets of noodles and came out. In fact, there is no need for marinade, and the taste of this hand-rolled dough itself is quite good.

The little black fish ran into the wheat field again, and the eldest brother of the Chen family drove the carriage over, carried the noodles and marinade onto the cart, and used a big basket to fill a large basket of bowls and chopsticks, Xia Zhi, the little black fish man, Xiao Xia Lin and Layue, and Aunt Xia San also got on the car and sat down, and went to the wheat field.

By this time, it was already completely dark in the ground, and torches were lit in the open space between the ground and the ground. Although it cannot be said that the field is illuminated as if it were daylight, the big guys can also cut wheat in this light.

The cart stopped when it reached the ground, and Xia Qiao came over to help move everything off the carriage, and Xia Zhi beckoned everyone to come over to eat.

There were too many people, and under Tian Fugui's arrangement, they were simply divided into several teams, and the big guys came over to eat in shifts.

First of all, among the people who came to eat, there were naturally old man Xia, old man of the Chen family, and Tian Fugui. As soon as he saw that it was hand-rolled noodles, Tian Fugui first boasted.

"My aunt's noodles are delicious, and they are famous in our village. I'm blessed. He didn't see it, took a big bowl and scooped up a bowl of noodles, and asked Xia Zhi to add noodles and marinade to him, and ate it in such a big gulp.

When the noodles went down to the stomach, Tian Fugui was even more praised.

Although the weather is sweltering, the aroma of the noodles still fills the night. The people who came first to eat noodles certainly devoured them. The people who were still harvesting the wheat over there were also encouraged by the aroma, and they became more and more energetic.

Old Man Xia saw that Xia Zhi and they had time to bring dinner, and this dinner was very popular and praised by the big guys, so he felt very satisfied.

The teams quickly finished eating the noodles in shifts, then lit more torches and spread out in the wheat field to continue harvesting the wheat. Old Man Xia instructed Xia Zhi, who was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, to ask her to go back and tell Mrs. Xia to prepare some more food and send it over.

Everyone is not going to rest this night, and when you are hungry, you have to eat to refresh your stomach, which is supper.

Without the orders of Old Man Xia, Xia Zhi also thought of this. She told Old Man Xia: "Master, when I came to deliver food, my grandmother was there." ”

Mrs. Xia is planning to steam some steamed buns, which can be used not only as a supper, but also as breakfast tomorrow morning.

"Okay, okay, you're all very thoughtful. Old Man Xia was even more satisfied, and discussed with Xia Zhi, "When the wheat is harvested, we have to do two tables." ”

The old man of the Chen family is a big family, as well as Tian Fugui, he must hold another table to entertain and thank you.

"I know, I'll tell my grandmother when I get back. Xia Zhi nodded and said, and then she also told Old Man Xia, "Master, today's wages for these people, I plan to come out of the wheat of my second uncle's house." When the time comes, people will ask for wheat, and I will give it. If you want to ask for money, I'll give it. ”

"That's for sure. Old Man Xia nodded without thinking about it, "Sixteen, if you can find someone to cut all this wheat home, that is a great hero." Of course, this salary has to be paid by your second uncle. That's it, he still has to thank you. "I'm grateful to you too.

But the last sentence Old Man Xia didn't say. The old man is actually more restrained, and he feels that it is hypocritical to say this.

"Didn't your second uncle come back, and Xin'er didn't go back. Old Man Xia said to Xia Zhi again, "Let's beat all his wheat, and I will hand it over to you when the time comes." When he came back, I saw that he was embarrassed to ask you for wheat. ”

"Master, if you want to say that, then I'm really welcome. Xia Solstice couldn't help laughing.

"What I say, you can just look at it. If you want to count on them, the wheat will rot in the ground. Old Man Xia looked at the scene of the big guy grabbing the wheat in front of him, he was happy in his heart, and when he compared it like this, he was even more angry when he thought of Second Uncle Xia.

Moreover, when Second Uncle Xia and the others went to Fucheng, the wheat was still far from ripe. These days, he still takes Third Uncle Xia and Xia Qiao to help Second Uncle Xia take care of it.

They also pulled weeds from Uncle Xia's wheat field. If it really only depends on Second Uncle Xia, the grass in this wheat field must be higher than the wheat now, but there will be no such harvest.

As soon as Old Man Xia said this, Xia Zhi already had a plan in his heart. She also confirmed with Old Man Xia again, for fear that Old Man Xia was happy to say it for a while, and regret it would not count later.

Old Man Xia did say this because he was happy, Xia Zhi confirmed with him, and he also understood what Xia Zhi meant, so he nodded with a smile, indicating that his words counted, and he would never regret it.

Tian Fugui happened to come over and heard the words of his grandfather and grandson, so he smiled and said that he was a witness for the summer solstice.

"Okay, now that you even have witnesses, what else are you worried about. ”

"Then I'm relieved. Xia Zhi smiled, and still let the eldest brother of the Chen family catch the car and send him, Xiao Heiyuer and Xiao Xia Lin home.

Back at home, the backyard is also brightly lit. When Mrs. Xia saw that Xia Zhi was back, she hurriedly asked her if the noodles were enough to eat, and the big guy was happy to eat them.

Xia Zhi said the reaction of the big guy. Mrs. Xia was relieved.

Tian also came back from outside at this time. On the summer solstice, they sent food to the wheat field, and the Tian family was not idle here, she just arrived in the courtyard to deliver noodles to Xiao Shu'er and the second brother of the Chen family.

In previous years, harvesting crops, Tian had never worked so hard.

Xia Zhi asked Tian: "Mother, have they covered all the wheat?"

"It's all done, Xiao Shu'er said that it was you~ the master took it back and took someone to it. Tian replied, although she was tired, she was also infected by the atmosphere of the wheat harvest, and did not complain.

"That's good. Mrs. Xia walked to the door and looked at the sky, "I see that this rain is just going to fall." ”

"I see the strength of the big guys, and tomorrow morning our wheat will almost be able to be harvested. Xia Solstice said. As long as all the wheat is harvested and piled up on the yard, it can survive a rain.

"That's a good idea. Mrs. Xia said, almost reciting the Buddha, so that this rain would come later.

It was getting late, and Mrs. Xia refused to let Xia Solstice and the little black fish go to the wheat field. Xiao Xia Lin had already fallen asleep on the kang. He was too young to have enough heart and strength, and he refused to sleep, but he was put on the kang and snored after a while.

Mrs. Xia didn't let Xia Solstice go to the wheat field, also because the little black fish must follow Xia Solstice. No, the summer solstice is not leaving, and the little black fish is willing to lie down in the kang for a while.

A moment ago, the little black fish was still talking to Xia Zhi, and was gently patted on the back by Mrs. Xia for a while, and the little black fish also snored.

Looking at the little black fish and the little Xia Lin's uncle and nephew sleeping next to each other, a kind smile appeared on the face of the old lady Xia.

Tian didn't go to the front yard. She watched that Xiao Heiyuer and Xiao Xia Lin were asleep, and suddenly thought of Xiao Shu'er. Tian gave Xia Zhi a look and asked Xia Zhi to go out with her.

"Mother, what's the matter?" Xia Zhi and Tian walked to the courtyard and stopped.

Tian turned around, looked into the upper house, and then looked at Xia Solstice. "The little tree is still watching the wheat in the yard. You see that your uncle and Xia Lin are asleep. Don't you feel sorry for your brother?" Tian said in a low voice, "And your brother." ”

"You didn't find so many helpers, why don't you replace your brother and your brother. Your brother is still watching Mai Zi in the yard, he is only nine years old, not much older than your uncle. ”

The sky was gloomy, with no stars and no moon. Xia Zhi glanced at Tian by the candlelight from the upper house.

Tian's mood at the moment should be more unbalanced, rather than really feeling sorry for Daqiao and Xiaoshu'er. What would be a mother's first thought if she felt sorry for her child?

I guess it's a substitute. But Tian didn't think about it at all.

And the reason why Tian didn't want her to replace Daqiao or Xiaoshu'er was not because she loved her, but because she had "power" in her hands at the moment, and she could let others replace Daqiao and Xiaoshu'er's power.

"My third aunt and Layue are now harvesting wheat in the field. Xia Zhi's tone was light.

Letting Tian stay at home to help Mrs. Xia cook is already a great care for Tian.

Tian Shi was angry: "What do you mean by Xia Zhi? Do you mean to let me go to the field to cut wheat too? You are still not born to me, why do you turn your elbow out, and you actually think about others talking." ”

"Mother, I didn't let you cut the wheat. If you feel sorry for Xiao Shu'er, you can go and replace Xiao Shu'er now. Xia Zhi's tone was still light.

Many of the wheat-wheat-seekers in the yard are young or old daughters-in-law. Either they could not cut the wheat, or they were taken care of by the family to do the lighter work, which was to watch the wheat in the yard.

If Tian really felt sorry for Xiao Shu'er, he should have replaced Xiao Shu'er back just now.

After listening to Xia Zhi's words, Tian's face changed slightly. "Summer Solstice, you still instructed me!"

"I didn't tell you anything. Mother, you can do whatever you want, I'm just talking about my thoughts. Xia Zhi spread his hands, and then ignored Tian's and went back to the upper room.
