Chapter 4 Sunset West Mountain Talk Mulberry Ma
"No, my family is also harvesting crops now, and I will have to go back to cooking in a while, and I will come back when I am busy for a while. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" He said this and reached out and touched Gu Siniang's head, "Aunt He is leaving, you are just better, go into the house quickly." Then he turned and went back to the village.
Gu Siniang hugged the heavy copper plate and hurriedly went back to the house to put it away, so she took a small bench and sat in the yard waiting for Ma to come back.
Because of the need to make dinner, Ma went not long after, and when he came back, he naturally brought a basket of fresh mushrooms, Ma piled the mushroom basket in the corner, and she rushed into the kitchen to work for dinner, Gu Siniang found a larger dustpan, and poured the mushrooms in the bamboo basket into the dustpan, which was going to be dark, and it was impossible to dry the mushrooms, but it had to be spread out, or not to hold it in the bamboo basket for a night, and it was estimated that it would be rotten the next day.
Ma Shi was busy in the kitchen, and occasionally looked back at Gu Siniang in the yard, and saw that she was spreading all the mushrooms on the dustpan, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but smile, this child is sensible.
Dinner is a shepherd's cabbage bun, chop the shepherd's cabbage into pieces, add some salted jerky, wrapped with cornmeal, wrapped into an oval shape, cook gruel in the pot, set up a curtain, take the lard on the upper edge of the curtain and brush a thin layer of oil, and then paste the wrapped vegetable cake along the curtain, cover the pot lid and burn the fire normally, wait until the gruel in the pot is cooked, and the cake on the side of the pot is also fully cooked.
Gu Siniang went over to help Ma Shi light the fire, and Ma Shi peeled a few garlic sticks on the side, took the garlic scoop and pounded it into minced garlic, put it on a plate, and dug a big spoonful of bean paste in the sauce jar, mixed it with some water, and stirred it to become a big bowl of garlic sauce.
Hu Dazhuang They came back at sunset, and after a few days of sunshine, everyone's faces were a little darker, but everyone had a smile on their faces.
"Mother, we're back." When Gu Dazhuang entered the house, Ma was serving a pot of vegetable cakes to the table, Gu Dazhuang was so hungry that he reached out and grabbed one and put it in his mouth, which made him grin.
"How old you are, I don't know how stable you are." Ma scolded with a smile, turned around and went into the kitchen to serve porridge.
Gu Siniang also took a stool and set up a position, and beckoned Chen, Gu Cuihua, and Gu Sizhuang to come over for dinner.
"Boss, how many days are you still busy in the field?" During the meal, Hu asked.
"Tomorrow will be one more day, the fields are almost busy, tomorrow I and the child and her mother plus the fourth, the three of us will get it back in one day, Cuihua and a few children will stay at home, no need to go up the mountain." After Gu Dazhuang finished speaking, he took a bite of the cake, and took a big sip of porridge with a bowl.
"It's fine. The crops are finished, and we can finally rest. Ma nodded and was obviously a little happy, this year's harvest was good, and there was no need to go hungry all year round.
"By the way, mother, Aunt He is here today, and she sent the money from selling embroidery a few days ago, a total of seventy wen." Gu Siniang ran back to the house as she spoke, and came back with a small white bag every while.
Chen took the money and smiled, "Sister-in-law He is really kind, every time I drag her to sell something, I always ask her to leave a handful of money for her legs and feet, but she never keeps one." He Shi said and handed the money to Ma Shi and said, "Mother, you should help us collect this money." ”
She has always been honest, and she is used to being the master of her mother-in-law, and she doesn't feel that there is anything wrong, so her first reaction when she gets the money is to hand it over to Ma.
Ma Shi glanced at her and shook his head, "You keep this money yourself, since you have already split up, how can I be a mother-in-law and still hold my daughter-in-law's money, now I and Cuihua, the fourth child is only with you, but this money still has to be clearly divided." ”
Gu Siniang also agrees with Ma's decision in her heart, Ma is really good at being a person, not like an ordinary rural old lady, blindly bullying her daughter-in-law at home, or keeping an eye on the money in her daughter-in-law's house, the more she is like this, the more convincing it is, at least Chen has nothing to disagree with this mother-in-law, so she is always willing to ask Ma's opinion before making a decision.
"Mother, what are you talking about? You deserve this money. He Dazhuang has always been filial, and when he heard his wife speak like this, he spoke up.
"Don't say it, I will never take care of this money, you can take care of your own money." Ma Shi made the final decision, He Dazhuang was not good at what to say, Chen had no choice but to accept the money and go back to the house to put it away.
After dinner, everyone went back to the house to rest, there was no lamp in ancient times, and it was impossible to light an oil lamp at home, so it was almost dark, and every household rested, Gu Siniang lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep over and over, this time is estimated to be about eight o'clock in modern times, so you can sleep.
She couldn't sleep here, but the three years next to her slept soundly. It's no wonder that he followed his parents for a day's work, and it's no wonder that he is not tired.
The courtyard was very quiet at night, the moonlight shone in through the window and sprinkled on the ground, Gu Siniang thought about how many years she hadn't seen such a quiet moonlight.
In her previous life, she lived a 9-to-5 life, occasionally working overtime and coming and going, lying in the house when she was free, playing with the computer or playing with her mobile phone, she had no time or mood to look up at the moon in the sky, in fact, even if she saw it, the high-rise buildings in the city were lined up, and the moon was a little dimmer under the light of neon lights, not like here at all, the original life, the moon was bright, and the stars were also bright.
Thinking like this, Gu Siniang, who was not sleepy just now, fell asleep unconsciously, dreamless all night, and when she opened her eyes again, it was already dawn.
Because she didn't have to go to the field today, when Gu Siniang woke up, Gu Sanniang was still asleep, and she was really tired from following the field in the past few days.
Gu Siniang got up and quietly dressed, the moment she opened the door, the sunlight poured down from the outside, she stretched out her hand to block the sunlight, and saw through her fingers that the yard seemed to be shrouded in warm sunlight, warm and quiet.
Under the corner of the courtyard, the mushrooms that were spread out last night were lying lazily on the ground one by one.
"Siniang, why did you wake up so early?" Gu Yuanniang rubbed her eyes and walked out of the house, she is the eldest daughter in the family, she is busy with farming these days, and she naturally does the most work, she used to get up early at this time, but today she got up late, but fortunately, a few small ones don't need to go to the field today, so they can sleep more.
"The eldest sister, the second sister, and the third sister have been working for the past few days, so naturally I am very tired, I have been lazy at home for a few days, how can I sleep." Gu Siniang said with a smile.
"That's right, if you sleep again, you'll be a little lazy pig." Gu Yuanniang looked at her for these days, and her little face was a little rounded and joked with a smile.
