"Sister, I want to eat roasted edamame!" Taotao played listlessly for a while, made a request to Li Manman, slowly looked at the edamame field not far from here, and nodded: "You wait here, I'll go to the edamame field at home to pull a few edamame!" ”

Taotao nodded, squatting on the ground with a small stick and pouting hard. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Li Manman walked to his own edamame field, pulled out a few edamame, shook off the mud that followed, thought for a while, and then walked to the red taro field next to each family, picked up five red taro, and carried it back to his own territory.

"Taotao, go find some dry firewood!" Li Manman took the red taro to the puddle and washed it, and instructed his younger brother.

"Wow! Roasted edamame, roasted red taro! I'm going to eat it too! The second army saw the things in Li Manman's hand and shouted happily, "Xiaoxian, I'm going to get firewood too!" After saying that, he ran away with Taotao. The army followed behind the two little ones and watched them. The old girl came over and helped Li Manman dig a pit in the ground.

Soon a few guys ran over the big pile of straw and fallen leaves, Li Manman put the red taro on the bottom layer of the pit, spread flammable fallen leaves on it, and then put the whole edamame on it, then covered it with straw, and then dug a hole, lit the fallen leaves, and the fire burned, and several people waited patiently around the fire pit.

Li Manman looked at the sun, felt that it was time to go home after eating these things, stood up, walked to the puddle where the ducks gathered, and looked, Li Manman's duck's head was dyed red, the army's was yellow, and the old girl's family shaved the feathers on their heads, and the ducks were all there, as if they were full, and they were moored leisurely on the water in groups of three or five.

Back to the pit, the fire has been extinguished, bursts of red taro fragrance came over, Li Manman jumped the ashes with a stick, Li Man has no burning sparks, only edamame stalks still have sparks, pick them out with sticks, step on them with their feet, and say to everyone that they can be eaten, the words did not fall, a few guys grabbed it with all hands and feet, took out the red taro first, and didn't care about the heat, tore the skin and stuffed it into the mouth.

"Five red potatoes, one for each person, not many to take!" Li Manman looked at the three small ones competing for red taro, and said seriously, "The three of you can take the bigger one, but you can't swallow it alone, otherwise I won't take you to play next time!" Also, if it's cold for a while, eat it again, and your mouth will burn. Don't cry! ”

Taotao stretched out his tongue, stretched out the red taro on it to be cold, and handed the little red taro in his hand to his sister with a sad face, Li Manman was not polite, reached out and took it, tore the skin, blew it, and took a bite, mellow and soft and glutinous, the sweet red taro with authentic white skin and red heart is many times better than the roasted red taro in the high-end electric oven in later generations.

When Li Manman savored the taste in his memory, the other few had already eliminated the red taro in their hands and began to look for edamame in the ashes.

After Li Manman ate the red taro, he also joined the army of looking for edamame, and the freshly burned ash was picked up everywhere, and he stuffed the found edamame into his mouth while picking it, and soon several people became flower-faced cats, with black hands and faces, and when he smiled, he would find that even his teeth were black.

Chasing the ducks, stepping on the sunset, the friends still can't get enough of returning to the village, the small village in the twilight, particularly quiet and serene, the smoke rises from the woods, it is really the ambiguous distant village in the eyes of the poet, and the quiet and beautiful countryside with smoke in the ruins. However, the aesthetic idyllic life is not much poetic in reality, working hard every day, tired and half dead, only to have food and clothing, children's education, medical care for the elderly, are very scarce. The peasants who are bent over by life do not feel that kind of poetic beauty.

While Lin Xiujuan was cooking, she looked up under the stage from time to time, waiting for her pair of children to return, the sun was about to set in the Xiqi River, and she hadn't seen the two naughty bags yet, she must let these two bastards eat the head at night, Lin Xiujuan and the others were anxious, and secretly thought to themselves.

"Mom, I'm back! Is the rice cooked? I am hungry! Taotao jumped into the yard and shouted loudly. Li Xiujuan grabbed her son and looked up and down for a while: "You roasted edamame again today, right?" Look at your clothes, the white ones have turned black, whose children are so dirty! What about your sister, why haven't you come back? ”

Taotao kicked her calves and twisted her body, trying to get rid of her mother's control: "The second army also eats, everyone eats, my sister is going to deliver the duck!" I'm hungry, I'm hungry, I'm going to eat! ”

Li Manman walked into the yard and saw his mother bathing his younger brother, Taotao was sitting in a big basin, patting the water with her hands, and her mother was wiping her body with a towel, leaning her body against the wall, quietly standing on tiptoe, and slipping into the house.

"Da Hong, where are you going, you thief?" When he was about to enter the living room, his mother's voice sounded from behind him, and Li Manman immediately walked to his mother dejectedly.

Lin Xiujuan glanced at her daughter, fortunately, she didn't become a gray monkey like Taotao, but it was not clean, and she said with a tiger face: "You are crazy today!" Look at what you look like a girl! Let's take a shower and eat early! Hot water in the water bottle! ”

Li Manman obediently took his bath tub, carried a bottle of hot water into the house, went to the bedroom to take a bath, took his clothes, and came out to bring half a basin of cold water. To say that back to childhood, the most unaccustomed thing for Li Manman is to take a bath, used to showering, now get a basin, take a towel to wipe, it's very uncomfortable, but it's not the most uncomfortable now, in winter, basically you can only follow adults to the county bathhouse to take a bath. However, Li Manman had already decided to make a bath cover, so that he could take a bath at home in winter.

"Da Hong, have you washed it? What about meat? Lin Xiujuan shouted to the bedroom, Li Manman pouted, sped up the speed of dressing, and shouted to the door: "Okay, okay, it'll be fine soon!" ”

Soaking the dirty clothes into the bath water, Li Manman went out with a hard time, put down the basin breathlessly, took a few breaths, and saw Taotao holding a poop and gnawing there.

walked over, twisted his brother's red little face, and said to his mother in the kitchen, "Mom, where is my dad?" Why haven't you come back yet? When can I eat? ”

"Your dad was called away by Nanzhu's family, and there were a few families there who grabbed tractors and fought, and asked your dad to adjust! I won't wait for him to eat today. Come in and serve the meal! Lin Xiujuan explained to her daughter while putting the porridge into a bowl.

"Oh! Which ones are they? Just they have a lot of things! Li Manman held the basket of baba and complained, the previous generation was, the brothers of the Nanzhu family liked to fight the most, and after the fight, they came to their father to comment, and it didn't take long for them to reconcile again. Is this something else to do? And the captain, my dad is just a secretary! ”

"Who's to say it isn't!" Lin Xiujuan was also very annoyed by those families, "But others don't listen to them!" Don't talk about it, let's eat! But I didn't have time to make meat and vegetable rice, so let's eat it and eat it tomorrow at noon! ”

Li Man pouted: "It's too late, it's just reluctant!" "Hey, you stinky boy, who will learn strange things from you! I want to be beaten! Lin Xiujuan knocked her daughter's head and said with a smile.

Li Manman covered his head, dodged to the side, smiled and took a poop, smeared it with sauce beans, and bit it.

Li Tianxue dragged his tired body back home at about eight o'clock in the evening. Li Manman was holding a book and waiting under the oil lamp, while Lin Xiujuan was coaxing Taotao to sleep.

Li Manman saw the tiredness on his father's face, and hurriedly went to the kitchen to bring a basin of hot water: "Dad, you wash first!" Take a breath and I'll bring you the food! ”

"Hey, good!" Li Tianxue picked up the towel and began to wash his face and hands, watching his daughter bring things from the kitchen to the living room like a little bee, his heart was warm, and the fatigue of the day disappeared a lot.

After drinking a sip of two-rice bean porridge, my hungry and uncomfortable stomach was ironed a lot. Lai didn't lie on the opposite side of the small table and watched his father eat: "Dad, don't deal with such a fight in the future!" ”

"And who's going to deal with it?" Li Tianxue looked at his daughter and asked with a smile.

"I heard that the director of public security is in charge of such things, isn't Dad's secretary in charge of party members?" Li Manman tilted his head and asked.

Li Tianxue took a bite of the poop and smiled with satisfaction: "Dahong feels sorry for Da Hong, okay, Dad will hand over such a matter to the security director in the future." ”

Li Manman laughed and proudly puffed up his small chest: "Dad, I also know that our brigade has the most surnames Zhu and the least surnames Li." But Dad can control them! ”

Li Tianxue paused, glanced at his daughter, and saw that his daughter's eyes were shining, like a puppy begging for bones, he should be very proud of his discovery, waiting for praise, touched his daughter's head, and then ate. Li Man secretly stuck out his tongue, almost revealing his stuffing!
