Chapter 28 Drying millet is important
Dong Ruyi is willing, her mother's injury has not healed yet, and now she can only do some simple work at home, if she doesn't go out. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
There are only two real laborers in the family. She can't even be as good as six-year-old Dong Pingkang. She struggled to get off the ground.
The next day, Dong Ruyi still couldn't survive the persuasion of his family, so he was left at home to dry the rice, and the rice he cut back yesterday had to be dried in the sun, otherwise it would be easy to germinate and spoil if he was piled up together for two more days.
It's good to live in the village, the land is vast and sparsely populated, so you don't have to worry about grabbing the rice drying space with the villagers.
Put the mat on the grass, the mat is made of bamboo, the middle mat part is woven with thin bamboo pieces, and the edges of the mat are clamped with long bamboo boards at both ends, and then fixed with a woven rope. Usually you don't need to roll it up, you need to stand it upright and lean on the wall to collect it, and you need to dry millet and beans.
The work of drying rice is relatively easy, as long as you turn it every once in a while, so that the millet is evenly heated. You don't have to be in the sun all the time.
After Dong Ruyi finished turning the rice, he sat at home with his mother, and he felt embarrassed.
The father and son were busy in the field, but the mother and daughter were at home, which was too unusual.
Liu was sad that her hand was injured, and the family went to cut the rice, but she couldn't help much, and said, "Why don't you bring them cold water, the water they brought to the field to drink is probably hot." ”
Dong Ruyi thought of the cold, remembered that when he was in the field yesterday, he saw a lot of cold powder grass next to him.
turned his head and said with a smile: "Mother, let's make some cold powder, the best way to relieve the heat." Daddy, they must like it. ”
"Jelly? What jelly? Liu's eyes widened and he looked at Dong Ruyi curiously.
Dong Ruyi was shocked, no, no one has done it here. So how would she explain that she knew?
I remember that the next door to the rented house used to sell jelly, and I often went to them to eat and saw how they did it.
"The last time I heard someone in the town say that the vine-like grass grows in the field, and that it can be made into jelly, and it is best to eat it in summer to relieve the heat. Or let's try. ”
After she finished speaking, she glanced at her mother's face weakly, and found that there was nothing unusual, so she looked calm.
"Really, there's still this grass, so let's cut some and try it back."
Dong Ruyi was pushed out by the excited mother, and when she carried a pot of water that had just been drawn from the well, she picked up a knife and went out. When I looked back, I saw my mother smiling.
Her steps became more brisk, and she thought to herself that if no one here would do it, then she could not sell it.
Jiangnan is rich, but the rich can never be honest farmers who farm the land, and they have to develop sideline businesses.
When she ran into the field, Dong Pingkang was the first to find out, and after he called out to his sister, the others also heard and looked up at her.
Dong Banshan thought that she was going to work in the field again, so he put on a straight face and said solemnly: "Ruyi, why are you here again, our master can finish it, be good, go home quickly." ”
Dong Ruyi put down the kettle in his hand, pointed to the cold powder grass next to him and said, smirking: "Dad, don't worry, I will cut this grass and go back soon." ”
Dong Banshan is thinking about what to do with this grass, there are no pigs at home now, and there is no need to beat pigweed. Then I heard my daughter say. "When I go back at noon, I have a surprise for you."
Dong Banshan also looked at the ordinary grass, which is usually very common, and stepped forward and asked curiously, "What surprise?" ”
"The secret, it's said it's a surprise, so I can't tell you now." Dong Ruyi sold a pass, and smiled toothlessly.
"You kid, now your dad will make fun of you." Dong Banshan knew that she was not working in the field, so he was relieved, so he scolded and turned around to work.
I only cut half an acre of land yesterday, and I have to speed up some time today. After cutting the rice, I have to plant the seedlings, and some of them are busy.
When Dong Ruyi cut the cold powder grass and walked back, he met Dong Maize, who went to the town together last time.
"Ruyi, what kind of grass are you? For pigs to eat. Dong Maize turned his head to look at the grass, Nunu's mouth.
Dong Ruyi was stunned for a moment, the pig wants to eat so well? If she says yes, will this grass be used to feed the pigs in the future?
She hesitated slightly, and said with a half-smile: "Uh, no, there is too much grass in the field, I cut it and take it back to dry, and it can be used as firewood when it is dry." ”
Since she plans to take out this cold powder and sell it, it is not good to show it casually now. It's everywhere now, and that's because people don't think it's useful.
"You still have this kung fu, when the time comes, you can just take the fire and burn it, and you still have to work so hard to pick it." Dong Maize raised his hand and didn't care.
"My family is harvesting rice, what about you? Have you started cutting rice at home? Dong Ruyi took a step forward, and after the last contact, he found that the other party was still a very simple and lovely girl.
"It's been cut a long time ago, and I don't need to go to the ground at home." Dong Maize spit it out with a laugh, biting the dog's tail grass in his mouth.
Dong Maize's family Ding Xingwang, his family has seven elder brothers, she is the only daughter in the family, and she is also an old girl, so she is naturally raised by thousands of pets.
It's simply the faithful seven dwarfs who guard this Snow White, so do whatever you want at home, play as you want, and work as you want.
Naturally, he stepped forward and took Dong Ruyi's hand, shook his brows, and asked with a gossipy face: "Your uncle's family has so much rice, do you want to help cut it?" ”
We are all separated, so how can you ask us to cut it? Dong Ruyi complained in her heart, but according to her grandmother's temper, this kind of thing is very likely to happen. Sighed, "I guess I want to, but who wants to go." ”
"Then you have to take it easy, your uncle hasn't come back yet, and your aunt doesn't work, I can see it, your grandmother is busy in the field with Rumei this morning."
Dong Maize felt that the two were good friends, and told each other what he knew.
"My grandmother works in the fields?" Dong Ruyi opened his eyes suddenly, how could it be? You must know that when there was no separation before, grandma didn't do any work. Co-authored to bully my family.
Dong Maize smiled eatingly, and the corners of his mouth grinned back: "Yes, your grandma is really capable, who would have thought that at this age, she is still so powerful." For example, my grandmother can only half-lie in bed, so she sends someone to feed her. ”
Dong Ruyi thinks about the second room, but there are six acres of land, just rely on two old people, small ones, can do work?
When the time comes, when the time is over, I don't ask my parents to do it for them.
"Where's my aunt? Doesn't she have to work? Dong Ruyi asked hesitantly, she never understood why this second aunt could be so strong, could ignore her daughter-in-law's duties, and be tolerated by her mother-in-law, which was also unique in Lotus Village.
"yes, it's strange to say, your grandmother let her go."
