The busy spring ploughing passed with the warming of the weather, but the hard-working farmers did not have time to rest, and the ensuing sowing made Zhang Xiaojie's father and mother busy in the field without touching the family, four acres of land for two people, no cattle at home, seeing Zhang and Zhang Dashan so hard every day, Zhang Xiaojie realized the hard work of the Chinese meal.

At this time, Zhang Xiaojie's request to take charge of the kitchen alone was unanimously approved, and in fact, Zhang couldn't find time to come back at noon to cook, so he was able to hand over the kitchen to Zhang Xiaojie after instructing Zhang Xiaojie for three days.

Zhang Xiaojie was in charge of the kitchen on the first day, made lunch according to the explanation, and sent Zhang Dashan to the field together after finding a way to start the dragon and phoenix fetus.

Zhang Xiaojie finally knew where her family's field was, and the location of Xiaohe Village seemed to modern people to be of course beautiful, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and almost into the painting, but in the eyes of farmers, there was no large area of fertile land for them to plant, which meant that there was no way to eat enough.

The Zhang family originally lived here for generations, so the field was also passed down from generation to generation, a total of seven acres, and the two acres of fertile land that were originally assigned to his father Zhang Dashan were also 'profit' fields, and two acres of low-grade dry land 'human fields'. Uncle Zhang Dahe was given two acres of fertile land and one acre of human land.

Zhang Xiaojie followed the route in her memory, and often encountered children older or younger than herself on the road carrying baskets to the fields......

Zhang's good field is in the east of Xiaohe Village, out of the gate of his house, walk a little way to the entrance of the village, walk through the small hillside of Ma Yuandu, turn right into the path and start to see the field, the field close to the hillside is generally middle and lower, after walking through the field of the Sun family on the periphery, after going forward to three families is their own field.

Looking at the figure of her parents working hard in the fields in this life from afar, Zhang Xiaojie was a little touched, except for her sister who could shelter herself from the wind and rain in her previous life, she could only rely on herself.

And now that he has his parents, and he loves himself very much, he sells the silver of Tianma, although Zhang Xiaojie doesn't know the specific amount, but from Zhang Dashan and Zhang's smile, it should be a lot for him to give himself ten yuan.

After all, when Zhang Xiaojie heard that corn was only eight wen and one bucket, and the big fat was only twenty wen and one catty, she knew that ten wen was indeed a lot, and after discussion, it had been decided to send Xiaoshi to study in a private school in the east of the village, so this feeling of being loved and trusted made Zhang Xiaojie cherish it extraordinarily.

In the past few days, Zhang Dashan has been busy with the rice in the fertile field, and the dry land is ready to be used to grow corn, so Zhang Xiaojie walked through the ridge with the bouncing dragon and phoenix fetus and the second girl who quietly followed him, and before the lively dragon and phoenix fetus ran to Zhang Dashan and his wife,

Zhang Liushi, the wife of Zhang Dalin, a former neighbor who worked in her own fields, said, "Yo, look at the difference between these twins, you see that this is here to bring you food, Xiaohui, this is envious of me." ”

Hearing the voice, Zhang Shi first raised his head and looked forward, and saw the second girl brought by Zhang Xiaojie, and the dragon and phoenix fetus who were almost in front of him, and couldn't help laughing, "Sister-in-law, you are burying me, this is my Xiaojie who cooks, and these two leather monkeys are here to play." ”

"No, mother," Xiao Shishi, who heard his mother say that he was a little monkey, immediately disagreed, and retorted. "Haha, you're not a little monkey, come and come here, let your aunt see how old she is?" Zhang Liushi said with a smile. "The little monkey doesn't say hello to your aunt yet!" Zhang said to Xiao Shi and Erya. "Auntie is good" "Auntie is good" The dragon and phoenix fetus said in unison. "Hey, it's all good" Zhang Liushi looked at the cute appearance of the dragon and phoenix fetus, and wanted to hug and make love, but when he saw that his hands were all mud, he gave up again, "Xiaohui, you have to take it to play when you're done." ”

"Okay, sister-in-law, just wait for me to come to talk to you," Zhang saw Xiao Jie and Erya who came to the front and said, "Xiao Jie, do you remember Aunt Liu?" Call someone. "Aunt Liu is good," Zhang Xiaojie called obediently.

Zhang Liushi looked Zhang Xiaojie up and down and said, "This is Xiaojie, it's so big, it's going to be a big girl soon."

When Zhang Xiaojie heard such words, she knew that it was not easy to answer, so she could only smile, but Zhang Liushi seemed to be more satisfied, and after greeting Zhang, she did not disturb Zhang Xiaojie and them to eat, and went to do her own work.

Zhang Xiaojie took the basket and put it on a slightly larger ridge, and took out the dried corn rice and pickled vegetable soup made at noon.

Zhang beckoned Zhang Dashan to come over for dinner, "Xiaojie is doing well, and she will do it like this in the future." “

Zhang Xiaojie heard Zhang say this, and knew that she finally gave the kitchen to herself, in fact, peasant girls would help with housework when they were very young, and a seven-year-old like Zhang Xiaojie would have been responsible for cooking and household chores a lot.

At the beginning, I didn't give Zhang Xiaojie just because I was afraid of wasting food, but now that I know that Zhang Xiaojie can still do a good job, of course, I will hand it over to Zhang Xiaojie, and now I will live well after I start to do it slowly, this is Zhang's most common idea.

After getting the power of the kitchen, Zhang Xiaojie remembered that her father and mother promised to give her two pennies every ten months, and originally decided to save it for him in the future, but seeing that her younger siblings were so thin that even their parents who were doing farm work were reluctant to eat some oil stars, they still decided to use it to improve their lives first, after all, the body is too small, and some plans cannot be implemented now.

Shiwen is a little less for wanting to eat oily, but at least you can eat more dry rice, you can put two drops of oil, you must know that in memory, it is rare to eat oil flowers a year, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is two or three times a year, this is also rare in the village, more people are rare to smell meat a year, this is still because every year Zhang Dashan will go up the mountain to pick some herbs for money.

After Zhang Dashan quickly finished eating, he just asked Xiaojie to take his younger siblings and then went to the field again, after all, he was the main laborer, and now the paddy fields here are not finished, and there are still two acres of dry land waiting to grow millet.

And Zhang's was a little slower, but he also quickly finished eating and said, "Xiaojie, just make some gruel at night, don't spend too much time when the firewood is burning" Zhang remembered that Xiaojie burned the fire more wasted, "When you go back, take care of your younger brothers and sisters, don't go too far to play, everyone has been busy in the fields recently, and now there are many flowers, don't run far, take your younger brothers and sisters to do more housework." “

After seeing that Zhang Xiaojie responded one by one, he took out Zhang Xiaojie's jar of water, and let Zhang Xiaojie take back the rest, and watched Zhang Xiaojie pack up and go back, so she went to work with peace of mind......

Since that time she made up her mind, Zhang Xiaojie found an opportunity to go to the oil mill in the village to get two taels of oil and put it in the oil tank that was almost bottomed, so Shiwen went to more than half of it.

After that, Zhang Xiaojie sometimes cooked, and would put a few drops of oil flowers in it, and the Zhang family knew that Zhang Xiaojie had a few pennies in her hand and asked Zhang Xiaojie, and they didn't ask after knowing that they felt sorry for themselves, but just said not to waste it.
