Chapter 20: The Autumn Harvest (II)

Xiao Nan recalled the past, she didn't intend to touch her feelings, and for a while she only felt that the sourness in her heart was a little unstoppable, in order not to lose her temper, she quietly left the courtyard, walked outside, took a deep breath at the rising sun in the sky, and said to herself silently: "Xiao Nan, everything in the previous life has long become a thing of the past, there are so many kind and loving relatives around you in this life, what else is there to be sad, cherishing everything in front of you is the right way!" ”

There are all kinds of people in the world, people's hearts are different, and some people are mediocre all their lives; There are people and flies, and there are dogs; Some people try their best to leave their names in history; There are also people who chase glory and wealth, and their relatives do not recognize them, and they lose their humanity; For Xiao Nan, whether in her previous life or in this life, she doesn't have much ambition, but she doesn't want to be a poor worm who lets others control her fate, what she pursues all her life is to have a merciful and filial piety, no deceit, no utilitarian calculations, only a single-minded, mutually supportive and tolerant family, and at the same time do not have to worry about food and clothing.

For this goal, she worked hard to study and struggle in her last life, just to have enough ability to create such a home, but unfortunately, the harder she worked, the more she gained, but the farther away from this goal, when she was thirty-seven years old, she almost had all the highest glory in the industry, but her heart was like a centenarian who had gone through vicissitudes, only endless desolation......

"Auntie, why are you standing here in a daze? But I remembered your father? Jiang Hanpu put the fish away, filled the water tank in the kitchen with water, and went out with a sickle, ready to go to the ground, but he didn't expect to get out of the courtyard, but he found Xiao Nan standing outside the house in a daze, his eyes were still a little red, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, but he immediately thought that the little girl remembered her father Xiao Dalang, who was also the father of several children, and suddenly felt a touch of pity in her heart, walked to Xiao Nan's side, and asked softly.

"I'm fine, uncle, wait for me for a while, and I'll go with you to cut wheat." Xiao Nan had almost adjusted his gaffe mood at this time, and when he saw Jiang Hanpu walking towards him, he hurriedly smiled at him and spoke.

"Don't, when your father was here before, he never let you do these jobs, but now you have spent money to invite so many people, and you have an uncle and me, where can you use a little girl like you to join in the fun, if you really want to help, go into the house and help your aunt and them cook." Jiang Hanpu hurriedly waved his hand and refused.

The current Xiao Nan is the absolute pillar of the family in the eyes of the Lin family and Zixiu, but in Jiang Hanpu's eyes, she is still just a little girl who is only two months away from turning eleven, and Jiang Hanpu knows that Xiao Dalang loved this girl very much during his lifetime, where is he willing to let her follow him to do such heavy work.

Xiao Nan pursed his lips and smiled, no longer insisted, said goodbye to Jiang Hanpu, and returned to the house, as for the people from the same village who were invited yesterday, they had already arrived in the field at this time, they were closer than Jiang Hanpu, and they knew where Xiao Nan's land was, everyone was honest and sincere, and after getting up, they didn't come to trouble Lin's mother and son, so they went to work directly according to which land they said yesterday.

After Xiao Nan returned home, she first cleaned up the game she was going to do today, and then went to the vegetable garden to pick some vegetables.

Everyone has been doing nearly an hour of work at this time, five big laborers, and they are all experts in crop work, one morning, has cut more than two acres of land, a piece of heavy wheat ears neatly spread on the wheat stake ground that is still more than ten centimeters deep, flashing soft and full light under the morning light, Xiao Nan looked at it from a distance, and the joy of a bumper harvest rose in his heart.

"Fifth uncle, elder brother, eldest brother of the Li family, second brother, uncle, it's time to eat!" Xiao Nan's eyes full of joy patrolled the ears of wheat in the field for a while, and then he shouted at the figure who was busy in the field.

Everyone working in the fields went to work early in the morning with an empty stomach, after working for so long, they were hungry, Xiao Nan shouted at the top of his throat, no one was hypocritical, everyone quickly came out of the field, followed Xiao Nan to the house, and when they entered the courtyard gate, they couldn't help but be a little stunned when they saw the big table of dishes placed in the center of the compound.

Sangyu Village invites people to work because they want to take a meal, but I haven't seen anyone who will prepare such a sumptuous meal to entertain? But seeing that there were ten large plates and a big bowl on the boxy big table, there should be a dish that was not served in this way, and the guests in Sangyu Village were all even-numbered dishes, but no one prepared single-numbered dishes.

Eight of the eleven dishes are meat dishes, only three are vegetarian dishes, and the eight plates are full of meat dishes, including braised rabbit meat, porcupine roasted potatoes, porcupine backbone, braised carp, and fragrant crucian carp tofu soup......

Sangyu City is not bad in the surrounding villages, but this is not bad It means that most families in the village can eat enough for every meal, such a hearty meal in front of them, not to mention the usual season, even if it is the New Year, it may not be able to be prepared, these hungry men suddenly saw such a table of meals, and they actually felt a little at a loss.

If the Xiao family doesn't wait for dinner, one person will make up five yuan for one meal, which is the rule of the entire Sangyu Village, but the table meal in front of him, not to mention five yuan for one person, even twenty yuan for one person can't be prepared, Xiao Nan's distant fifth uncle Weng looked a little apprehensive, and said to the Lin family who came out with a large bowl of soup in his hand: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, we are all in the neighborhood, you, you are too polite." ”

"These are the wild meat that the eldest lady hunted back from the mountains, and I didn't spend money to buy it, where can I talk about politeness, brothers and nephews hurry up and wash your hands and serve the table, the water is in the basin, it has been prepared, everyone has been busy all morning, it is estimated that you are hungry, Aunt Jiang, the work of accompanying the guests will be handed over to you, but you must let everyone eat well and be full." Lin smiled faintly, said, and went into the kitchen after speaking.

Jiang Hanpu has a simple and honest temperament, and is not very good at communicating, but he has lived in the village for decades, and he is not good at socializing, the minimum way of hospitality is still in practice, plus everyone is a man, and they are not strangers to each other, and he came forward, everyone's restraint quickly dissipated, and it didn't take long to sit down at the table, throw off his arms and pick up the wine glass to eat and drink.

Because they had to continue to work after eating, the wine could only be drunk, and each person only drank a small cup before starting to eat, and the amount of food these strong laborers was quite amazing, although the food prepared by the Lin family was rich enough and the amount was large enough, after everyone had eaten and drunk enough, only the remaining soup and bones were left on the table.

"Big brother, there seems to be a turtledove in that pheasant soup." After eating, when he came out and walked to the field, Li Fu's younger brother Li Gui suddenly said, as soon as he said this, everyone couldn't help but look at his two brothers, Li Gui's brother Li Fu met everyone's sight and nodded, he usually goes into the mountains, and the turtledove meat has also been paid, and it is easy to pay for the taste.

After getting the confirmation of the two brothers, the expressions on everyone's faces suddenly became very complicated, the turtledove is not particularly precious on the market, but it is rarely seen in the mountains around Sangyu Village, and this thing is very nourishing for children, and ordinary people get it, and they are reluctant to take it out for hospitality, but Xiao Nan's family finally got such a little thing, but they did not hesitate to take it out and stew it with pheasants, entertaining themselves as rough guests......
