Chapter 89: Half a Day's Toil
Yuxiu thinks that she looks like Yudong, even if it doesn't become a straight line, it won't be too ugly, right? I didn't expect the finished product to be like this, and I was a little frustrated. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"It's good, the first time I planted rice with my father, it was even uglier than yours." Yudong looked at Yuxiu's pouting appearance and comforted her.
"I'll practice again." Yuxiu started again unconvinced.
Yudong walked next to Yuxiu and pointed out from time to time, quite a master's demeanor.
The two of them didn't stop except walking to the ridge to drink saliva, and before they knew it, most of the fields were inserted.
"Brother, eldest sister, second sister is here."
When Yuxiu heard the delivery, she felt a little hungry and wanted to stand up, but she couldn't stand up for a while when she bent her waist for a long time, and she almost fell crooked in the field, but Yudong grabbed her.
She paused for a while, then slowly straightened her waist, let out a long breath, and helped each other to walk up the ridge with Yudong.
"Big sister, big sister, you have blood on your leg!" Yuliang pointed at Yuxiu's calf and shouted.
"Don't move, it's a leech." Yudong also saw it, and asked Yuxiu to stand still, he reached out and grabbed the next leech.
In the paddy fields, this is the annoyance, and there are a lot of leeches. Moreover, people will not feel anything when the leech sucks blood, and only after going ashore will they see the blood stains on the wound and feel itchy.
Yudong threw the leech on the ground, and Yuliang took a small wooden stick and poked it vigorously, "Let you bite, let you bite!" ”
Yuxiu saw his childish behavior and dragged him over with a smile, "Hurry up and wash your hands and eat." ”
Yuliang turned over the loaches in the mud, leaving his whole body covered in mud. He dropped the wooden stick in his hand and tried to wipe his face, but when he went down with one paw, the only clean face was all mud.
"Haha, little four, you've rolled in the mud." Yushu walked over and laughed when she saw Yuliang like that.
There were also a few families next to them who were cutting wheat at the foot of Dongshan, and they all laughed when they saw Yuliang like that.
Yuliang was so shy that he laughed, and he didn't want to wipe Yushu's face with dirty hands, and the two chased after each other for a while before stopping.
Yuxiu went to the ditch by the ridge to wash her hands, and the mud on her body was no less than that on Xiaosi's body, and she didn't feel it when she planted seedlings, and when she stopped, she found that she was soaked all over her body. There is water from the paddy fields, and more of it should be hot sweat, and the clothes are wet and sticky to the back.
In the east mountain, there is no sun blocked by the mountain in the morning, and in the afternoon, the sun in the west will reach this piece. Their two acres of fields are two long strips side by side, and now a small half of them have been exposed to the sun.
The two of them worked hard in the morning and planted about half an acre of seedlings.
Yuxiu sighed, although she had the brain of twenty or thirty years old, she only had the physical strength of a ten-year-old. If you are an adult who is used to farm work, it is estimated that two acres of land will be completed in one day. If these two acres of land are helped by God, and they serve them carefully, they may harvest 800 catties of millet by the end of the year.
She looked at Yudong and Yuliang, and decided that she had to find a way out for her family, and she couldn't just rely on farming to live.
Yushu put the basket in her hand on the ridge of the field, opened the blue cloth covering it, and there were three large bowls of rice pressed solidly, a bowl of stewed tofu with green vegetables, and a large bowl of fried pork with dried plum vegetables.
Tofu and meat are not eaten every day.
Dried plum vegetables are a common dish in Dongping Village in summer. I can't afford to put other fresh vegetables, and if I don't finish the meal, it may go bad overnight. Dried plum vegetables will not go bad if they are left for three to five days.
Stir-fried meat with dried plum vegetables is even more delicious. Yushu's bowl of fried meat with dried plum vegetables, several large pieces of meat are covered with dried plum vegetables.
These two bowls of dishes, if others see them, they will definitely say that children don't know how to live and spend money indiscriminately.
"Sister, I took half of the meat I bought yesterday and fried the dried plum vegetables, you can taste it. Little four, give, the fatty meat you like to eat. Brother, this piece is for you to eat. Yushu picked up the chopsticks, first pressed a few pieces of meat into the rice for them one by one, and then handed over the chopsticks, blinked, and eagerly waited for Yuxiu to give an evaluation after tasting it.
Yuxiu took a bite of the meat gently, and the plum vegetables carried by the meat were pressed into the rice, and after the white rice grains were dyed with the color of the plum vegetables, they became like soy sauce was added, and she smiled and took a bite of the rice, "It's delicious, Shu'er, your cooking skills are getting better and better." ”
Yushu was praised and happily urged Yudong and Yuliang to eat quickly.
Yuxiu took a few bites, "Shu'er, have you eaten with your uncle?" ”
"Oh, I've eaten, after I've cooked the meal, I'll eat with the two of you first, and then I'll bring you food." Yushu only urged them to eat quickly.
The three of them were hungry for a long time, a big bowl of rice, Yudong took a few big bites, and drank another mouthful of vegetable soup, feeling satisfied.
Yuxiu saw that he was eating so fast, and picked two pieces of rice from his bowl and put them in Yudong's bowl, "Brother, I can't eat it." ”
Yudong muttered that the girl's family ate less, and ate a few bites, and after eating, he burped, touched his stomach and said that he was too full.
Yuxiu also finished the rest of the meal in a few bites, and turned her head to see that if the sun was shining at the foot of the mountain, it would be hot enough.
"Little Four, how many loaches have you caught?"
"Eldest sister, you see, I put them all in the basket and keep them in the ditch over there, not to mention twenty or thirty." Yuliang pointed to the ditch on the left side of the road, and he dipped the turtle's back basket in the ditch, so that the loach would not die.
"When the sun shines, the loaches will be roasted dry, you eat quickly, and go back with Shu'er after eating."
"Eldest sister, I'll go home with you. Xiao Huang hasn't eaten yet. Yuliang pointed to the scalper not far away to find a reason. In fact, the water and grass here are plump, and Xiao Huang's belly is bulging.
"In that case, you and Shu'er go over there to cut a basket of grass and take it home for Xiao Huang to eat." Yuxiu drove people directly, "Also, it's not for you to go home to play, remember that you have to learn the words taught to you yesterday, and I will test you when I come back." ”
"Where's the brother? Brother, do you remember? As soon as Yuliang heard that he was going to take a more academic test, he wanted to drag Yudong with him.
"Brother has known each other for a long time, hurry up and hurry up, if you can't remember, I will punish you back." Yuxiu glared, and when Yuliang heard that he was going to be punished, he jumped up and ran.
Yushu hurriedly took the sickle and followed.
The two of them cut a basket of grass, and the grass was so compacted that it was so heavy that one person could not carry it. Yushu went to the mountain and found a wooden stick as a flat pole and carried it away. Yuliang walked in front, and Yushu led the little scalper to the back.
"Brother, sister, you two come back early. Uncle said it could be done in a few days. Yushu saw that the sun was shining and instructed.
"Got it, I'll come back to make dinner, and we'll make dried loaches to eat, and remember to take a nap when you get home."
At this rate in the morning, they should be able to plant one acre of field today, and two acres of land, that is, two days.
After Yushu and the two left, Yudong and Yuxiu sat down again and rested for a while.
At this time, there are no people nearby, and many people's fields are at the foot of the east mountain and the north of the village, so they will take turns to dry on both sides to avoid the sun.
