In the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the autumn tiger still exerts its residual power, Li Manman got up from the bed with a grunt, quickly got dressed, stepped past his sleeping brother, and jumped out of bed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The yard is quiet, parents should have gone to the field, it is the time of the busy farming, every household goes to the field to cut rice before dawn, and the rest of the family are children. Grandma's door is also closed, I don't know if grandma gets up or not, anyway, even if grandma gets up, she will go to my uncle's house to take my cousin.
Scoop a scoop of water from the tank, pour it into the basin, take the towel, wipe a few handfuls of face, wrap it on your fingers and rub it on your teeth a few times, drink cold water, rinse your mouth, and brush your teeth.
Look at the sky, and look back at the big grandfather clock on the bar, the difference is five minutes and seven o'clock, today's weather is not bad, and Mom and Dad should still cut rice in the field for a while.
When I went to the kitchen, I saw that there was still a lot of wheat grass, which should be enough to cook a meal, so I scooped up a few handfuls of rice and put it in a large pot. Scooped two scoops of noodles again, put them into the big red basin, began to mix the noodles, prepared to paste the poop, rolled it thinly, and when the pot was hot, it was pasted up, and the vitality was removed, and the bite was crunchy, and the fragrance of the noodles was intoxicating.
Roll out the poop, cut it into regular strips, put it on the board and wake up, turn to the stove, light the fire and start cooking porridge, the porridge here is different from the porridge in the south, the porridge in the south is thick and thick, and the porridge in the hometown is thin, sometimes with a little face, that is, when boiling, put the very thin noodle soup into it, stir it a few times, and then boil, so that it will be more smooth, Li Manman loves to eat this, but Dad likes to eat not and face. Today, Li Manman's burning is and face.
Seeing that the pot was steaming, Li Xiu stood up and lifted the lid of the pot, pasted the poops on the board one by one on the edge of the pot, covered the lid and continued to burn.
Gradually, the kitchen was filled with the thick smell of rice and burnt poop, Li Manman put the fire down, stood up and put his face close to the diffuse water vapor, enjoying the feeling of water vapor on his face.
Uncover the pot, take out the poop, put it in the basket, pour the beaten noodle soup into the pot and stir it vigorously with a spoon a few times, watch the foam rise, and run to the stove door to put out the fire.
Then I washed the green peppers that my mother picked last night, removed the seeds, cut them, beat four eggs, stirred them and lit the fire in the small stove, and began to fry the chili peppers and scrambled eggs, and saw that there were not many pickles, so I took out a bowl of sauce beans and heated them in the pot.
"Sister, sister! Ah--- "My younger brother, who was sleeping in the house, woke up, and didn't see anyone for a while, knowing that his parents were not at home, he looked for his sister, but his sister was not there, and immediately began to cry, and while crying, he was ready to get out of bed with his little short legs." Li Manman ran into the house and saw this thrilling scene, and hugged his younger brother who was about to fall: "Am I not coming?" Are you so impatient? Didn't my sister tell you last night that you can't find anyone for a while, so don't worry? My sister is at home. ”
"My sister ignored me, Taotao shouted twice, no one!" The younger brother sobbed in defense. "My sister is cooking, I didn't hear it for a while, I'm sorry!" Li Manman changed his mistake and coaxed his younger brother to dress him, don't look at the lack of clothes, just two, shorts and shorts, but it is difficult to put it on for his younger brother, he is always moving around, or lying in his arms, and he is a little fat man, and at this time Li Manman is a thin little man.
It was easy to dress the fat brother, carry him out of bed, take him to the toilet, let him put away the water that he had held all night, and pull him to wash his face. Take a poop and hand it to him and let him grind his teeth.
Then he beat the batter, spread a soft egg cake for the little one, and served him a bowl of porridge in his special small wooden bowl.
"Taotao, come over for dinner!" Li Manman shouted to his younger brother who was holding a stick and stabbing the chicken in the chicken coop, "Put the stick down, didn't you ask you not to poke the chicken, it will not lay eggs, if the chicks don't lay eggs, you will have no egg cakes to eat!" ”
"Okay, I won't poke it!" The younger brother walked on his short legs, and said in a milky voice, as if he was quite helpless, and reached out to get the omelet. Li Manman took the plate away: "Go wash your hands, I just took the stick, and my hands are dirty!" ”
"It's not dirty, look!" The younger brother stretched out his hand to Li Manman. "Bacteria are invisible, and if you eat them in your stomach, there will be worms in your stomach that will bite your stomach!" Li Manman pointed to his brother's fat belly and said. Taotao covered her stomach suddenly, hurriedly ran over, and washed her hands carefully in the basin.
"Sister, can I eat?" The younger brother stretched out his hand in front of Li Manman, Li Manman nodded, and wiped his younger brother's wet little hands with the towel in his hand.
"Taotao, you sit down and eat, my sister is going to feed the pigs! After you finish eating, we'll go and herd the ducks together. Li Manman said to his younger brother who was eating egg cakes.
"Uh-huh" Taotao only cares about eating, sister's words, the left ear goes in, and the right ear goes out. Fortunately, the pigsty was not far away, and Li Manman chopped the red taro vines, mixed them with rice bran, and carried them towards the pigsty.
In the pigsty was a half-sized white pig, probably hungry, and the whole circle hummed, "Hello, Hello" Li Manman called twice, and the big pig ran to the food bowl and raised his head and screamed. With great difficulty, he lifted the pig food bucket and poured it into the stone trough, watched the pig food slide into the food bowl, stopped and lowered his head, ate it in a big gulp, and raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead.
When he returned home and opened the chicken coop, the first thing that came out was the only rooster in the flock, with red feathers, golden neck, and red cockscomb. Knocked on the chicken food bowl, which was the leftover rice bran from yesterday, there were more than 20 chickens at home, as long as they were fed once a day, and the rest of the time they were all looking for food by themselves, but the eggs were not missing, basically more than a dozen eggs a day, in addition to eating at home, you can also take it to the market to sell it for money, exchange for some oil and salt and buy cigarettes for Dad.
After serving all the living things in the house, Li Manman poured water on the clothes in the footbasin, put laundry detergent on it, picked up a broom and began to clean, the yard in the countryside is full of soil, but if you don't get rid of the fallen leaves and chicken feces on it, Li Manman feels that his heart is blocked, and he can't eat.
"My little lady, can you take the bay today?" The old girl from the lobby brother's house ran over barefoot and asked, she should have just gotten up, with a low pigtail on her head, a stilt, and a in the corner of her eye. In Li Manman's hometown, Xiaoxiao is the meaning of the little aunt.
"Go, aren't you going to put ducks?" Li Manman put down the broom and sprinkled the water and said. "Okay, I'll go too!" The old girl rubbed her eyes, yawned, ran home happily, and rushed out again after a while, "I'll call the army, the second army gets up, and my grandmother tells me to call them to dinner!" ”
"Sister, I'm going to put ducks and pick up bird eggs! Catch rabbits too! Taotao listened to her sister talking to the old girl, and hurriedly expressed her position.
"Got it, you have a good meal!" Li Manman touched his younger brother's head, looking at this fat and stupid appearance, no one could have imagined that more than ten years later, this little fat man would grow into a handsome young man in Yushu Linfeng, and he also married a wife like a flower and jade, gave birth to a son and a daughter, and lived a happy life.
Moved a small bench and put it in front of the footbasin, put the washboard into the footbasin, took the soap, Li Manman began to wash clothes with his little paws, in fact, Li Manman hates washing clothes the most, it should be said that she hates to do all the housework, but in her last life, she was a good wife and mother for a lifetime, since fate is coming back, then live a different life! Make up for the regrets of your previous life.
The sun gradually became stronger, the temperature rose, and the adults in the field should also go home, Li Manman washed his clothes, piled them in the basin, and did not go to float, because her mother did not let her go to the ditch, for fear of falling and drowning.
Stealing half a day of leisure, busy all morning, Li Manman, sitting on a small stool at this time looking at the blooming moon flowers in the yard, stunned, back for a few days, but still have a dream-like feeling, in my last life, I was also a fan of online literature, what theme of the online article has been read, my favorite is the rebirth text, often think about what to do if I can do it again, who knows that at the end of my life, I didn't go to the underworld, but back to when I first went to school.
