Chapter 148: Early Summer
After a hard day's work, my waist never straightened, and finally the wheat of both families was threshed.
This also indicates that early summer has officially arrived.
The threshed wheat kernels are pulled back and husked, dried, and ground into flour when they are needed, and then they can be used to make delicious pasta.
Both families pulled back their own wheat grains, and wheat straw was also pulled back, which was a good starting material.
The wheat grains were sent back to the house, and the wheat straws were piled up in the shed in the backyard, and then Wu Song and Xia Mei sat down to rest for a while.
I went back to the house and poured Xia Mei a bowl of cold boiled water that had been dried before, sat under the eaves, and watched the fine rain fall with the wind.
After a tiring day, the moment I sit down to rest, I feel happy to do nothing.
Xia Mei rested tiredly for a while, and turned her head to look at the man sitting quietly beside her.
The lean clothes on her body are still covered with undried sweat, outlining sexy lines, and from Xia Mei's angle, you can clearly see the slightly curled thick eyelashes, as well as the secret and deep eyes.
Looking straight ahead, the dampness brought by the hazy drizzle seems to be in the bottom of the eyes.
His eyes moved to his large palm, which was already covered with thick calluses, which had previously only been found in the part where he held the bow and arrow, and now the palm was full of thick calluses.
Xia Mei's heart throbbed slightly, and her eyes were filled with distress.
Standing up, he walked behind him without saying a word, put a pair of Yiyi on his shoulders, and began to massage silently.
"Lady? What's wrong...... Yes! Ah......h
Being pressed on the shoulders that were overworked today, even Wu Song couldn't help but let out a low breath.
Then he showed an expression of enjoyment.
"Hmm...... Lady, don't be tired, I'll give you a press over here. ”
As he spoke, he pulled Xia Mei into his arms and sat down.
Xia Mei's face turned red, she glared at him, and was about to get up, but Wu Song held her tightly in her arms, and buried her head in her chest.
Xia Mei felt a little shy and thought that it was time to go to Xia's house for dinner. He gently pushed the head in his arms, and unconsciously lowered his voice: "Come on, let's go." ”
Wu Song shook his head in front of his chest like a fool, and said in a muffled voice: "Don't." It's soft here. ”
Xia Mei was annoyed and angry, and gently grabbed his ear and pulled it out.
There was a stalemate for a while, and finally Xia Mei compromised, leaning on his arms with ease, and caressing his head one by one.
It's just a few breaths. But for the tired Wu Song, it was like having been recharged for several hours.
"Let's go, girl, are you hungry? Let's go eat! ”
…………
After eating to their heart's content, Chen smiled and praised Yun Ni's cooking skills are getting better and better, Yun Ni pursed her lips and chuckled: "Auntie is too famous, where is what I do well, it is clearly Sister Xinghua's ingenuity."
Chen squinted his eyes in satisfaction, and said with a smile on his face: "Where, it's just a few home-cooked side dishes."
Yun Ni's eyes rolled lightly and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law." You're welcome, Sister Xinghua hasn't been out of the door recently, and she hasn't stepped out of the second door, practicing her daughter's skills at home all day long, and now, this level is far from me! ”
Xia Mei took over the conversation and said happily: "Yes, auntie, now Xinghua looks at it, just like the young lady of the big family, she looks handsome." The etiquette skills are also the best. ”
"Whoever marries her in the future will be a blessing that has only been cultivated for several lifetimes!"
The jokes of everyone made Xinghua blushy with shame, and she stomped her feet angrily. Angry: "Don't talk about it!"
With that, he turned around and ran out.
There were several amusing laughter behind him, Xinghua's face was slightly red, and a slender and delicate young man appeared in his mind.
The girl's face became more and more red and gorgeous.
In early summer, the sky is full of stars and already twinkles. There is no moon in the night sky, and what is drifting in the breeze is the unique rippling feelings of boys and girls.
…………
After harvesting the wheat, start planting corn, now the corn planted is the first month of harvest, late autumn corn season is longer, sweeter, taste full of fragrance.
"Husband, the potatoes in the field should be harvested in a few days, and when the time comes, I will ask Wen Hao to come back to help, and Yunni will also stay for you to cook."
Lying on the kang at night, Xia Mei closed her eyes, thinking about things in her mind, and discussed a few words with Wu Song on the side from time to time.
After harvesting wheat a few days ago, Wu Song breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the sacks full of wheat, the dimples at the corners of his mouth were deeply nested, and he was filled with an intoxicating smile.
After a day of rest, Wu Song returned to the days of teaching Tang Bao and Wen Hao martial arts, and now that the potatoes in the field are ripe, I am afraid that it will be busy for a few more days.
Xia Mei felt very sorry for Wu Song, and always felt that she was dragging him down, obviously a free and casual man, but he had to deal with the soil in the fields all day long for her.
Thinking of this, Xia Mei turned around, hugged the lean waist of the man in front of her tightly, and buried her head in her warm chest.
Wu Song felt the pity and guilt of the woman in his arms, the corners of his lips hooked slightly, and his faint voice was reassuring, "Lady, sleep, I'm fine." ”
Xia Mei pursed her lips and didn't say anything for a while.
Suddenly, he looked up, and his big eyes shone seductively in the darkness.
"Husband, you've worked hard, ...... tonight Enjoy it with peace of mind! ”
Before Wu Song could react, he felt the little woman in his arms writhe and slowly crawled onto him.
Wu Song, who was a little confused, instinctively held on to the slender waist on his body to prevent her from falling, and when he was about to ask out loud, he felt that the person on his body slowly twisted to a dangerous position, his eyes sank, and his Adam's apple unconsciously slid twice.
"Lady...... What are you doing......"
The movements on her body paused for a moment, and Xia Mei's serious voice came from the quilt: "Husband...... Don't move, let me go! ”
Wu Song swallowed saliva again to moisten his dry throat, feeling that his belt had slowly fallen off, and his eyes became deeper and deeper.
Until that moment of real fit, Wu Song couldn't help but clench his teeth, and the low cry from his throat was drowned between the lips and teeth that depended on each other.
In the middle of the early summer night, which was still a little cold, the bodies that were clinging to each other were repeatedly intertwined, and the dripping sweat rolled down the skin, dripping on each other's skin, oozing a scorching temperature.
Xia Mei, who was hot all night and wanted to comfort Wu Song with her own initiative, felt her sore limbs on the second day, and regretted her intestines.
"What kind of sin is this......
Rubbing her sore calves, Xia Mei really burst into tears in her heart.
On the contrary, look at Wu Song. But it is as proud and proud as the spring breeze, and he got up very early to boil nourishing chicken soup for his mother and son, and the oil was boiled out of the fire, and the thick chicken soup was tempting and coveted.
This pheasant was caught yesterday. The long bright pheasant feathers on the tail were specially washed and brought back by Wu Song.
With a small piece of sweet potato and two copper coins, it is made into a simple and beautiful chicken feather shuttlecock.
Tang Bao came back and saw that he was very happy at first, and kicked it for a while. I gradually lost interest.
"Daddy, this is for girls to play, Tang Bao doesn't want it."
When Xia Mei heard this, she glared at Tang Bao, who was a big ghost, snatched the disgusted shuttlecock in his hand, and scolded gently: "You kid, if you can't kick it yourself, you blame the shuttlecock!"
Holding the shuttlecock in her hand, Xia Mei liked it more and more, in fact, what Tang Bao said was not bad. This kind of game, girls are better at it.
So Tang Bao gave up the chicken feather shuttlecock, but the fresh pheasant meat was stewed and rotten, and most of it went into his stomach.
"Mother, let's go! Daddy, I'm going to school! ”
Wu Song chuckled and sent the mother and son out, and turned back to continue to deal with the animals they had hunted for the past few days, and when the skins were dried, they were about to be sent to the town, and they had not been there for several days.
"Eh, you say. What is planted in the Wu family's field? Why haven't I seen that seedling again? ”
The people of Dashan Village harvested the wheat and planted the corn in time for the weather, and then rested for a few days, and they made an appointment together. The croppers who carried hoes to weed in the fields chatted as they walked.
No, when he walked to the edge of Wu's house, he asked in wonder.
The person next to him glanced at him contemptuously and said disdainfully: "What can you grow?!" It's not that you don't know, the lame daughter-in-law of Tang is in charge of things at home. This crop field must have been tossed by her! In my opinion, this boy from the Wu family will be dragged down by her sooner or later! ”
"Won't you...... You see how well people are doing now, there are few people in the village, and there are people who have a family background! ”
The man was a little unhappy and muttered, "No matter how capable you are?!" Not a yet! ”
As he spoke, he carried the hoe and left first, leaving the man to pout and follow slowly.
Although there was a lot of speculation in the village about this land, it did not have any impact on Xia Mei, because she knew that sooner or later people would find out that the potatoes were excellent.
The potatoes sold in the restaurant are actually not sold very much, Xia Mei intends to control zhì, and the dishes of potatoes are only one or two, so there are only a few people who know about this thing.
As for when the potatoes will be fully presented in front of everyone, Xia Mei feels that it is not yet time.
In the year I came, I got too many new things, and everyone was no longer surprised, just like Liu Quan joked, now even if she says that she can eat soil, he believes it.
Xia Mei smiled bitterly, this can only show that while everyone's ability to accept new things has become stronger, they have also lost that freshness, surprise, conflict, and the effect is far less than before.
For potatoes, Xia Mei is true love, so she has to keep it and wait for an appropriate time.
However, this does not prevent her from feeling nostalgic for potatoes.
A few days ago, Wen Hao went back to help Wu Song harvest the potatoes of those acres of land, according to Xia Mei's meaning, avoided the crowd, packed them in sacks, and collected the land on the side of the road first, and when everyone reacted and wanted to see it, there was no suitable excuse.
The potatoes were received very simply, they could be planed, and not a single potato egg was left, and all of them were collected.
The potato seedlings were left in the ground, exposed to the sun for a day or two, and then they were gone, and they could not be seen as they were.
Putting an end to the possibility of others planting, Xia Mei asked Wu Song to dig a cellar in the backyard to store potatoes.
Wu Song and they were secretive, and the people in the village became more and more curious, and some people went to rummage in the field in the dark, but found nothing, and secretly scolded a few seedlings at the same time, and wanted to go back to study and study.
As for the result, it depends on luck.
Xia Mei looked at the potatoes and wheat in the cellar, and the curvature of the corners of her mouth could not be put down, in her eyes, these were all ingredients that could be turned into delicious ingredients, not just food.
In the past few days, Xia Mei has devoted herself to studying how to eat potatoes, and she didn't dare to be too casual, because there were too few potatoes and she had to supply restaurants, so Xia Mei suppressed her "creative desire" and waited for the potatoes in the field to be received.
Now, it's time to be presumptuous.
So, in the past few days, the food on the Wu family's dinner table, in addition to potatoes, is still potatoes, Tang Bao looked at the mashed potatoes on the table, egg potato cakes, steamed potatoes, and his little face wrinkled into buns.
"Mother...... Do you only have potatoes at home? Eating potatoes every day, Tang Bao is about to become a potato......"
Wu Song sat on the table, although he didn't complain like Tang Bao, but his face also showed a little tangled.
Xia Mei looked at the pleading eyes of the two, and said with some disappointment: "You don't like to eat potatoes......"
The momentary low love made the two men one big and one small anxious instantly, and denied it again and again, Wu Song said affectionately: "Lady, I love to eat, as long as it is made by a lady, I love to eat for my husband."
Tang Bao was entangled for a moment, and also squeezed out a smile and said, "Mother...... Tang Bao also likes ......"
Xia Mei's lips flashed with a smug arc, and she said happily: "Since you like it, let's eat more!"
As he spoke, he sandwiched two pieces of steamed potatoes and put them in their bowls, feeling the bitter faces of the two of them, Xia Mei was secretly happy.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the footsteps of summer are getting clearer and clearer, until the sound of cicadas appears in the mountains and trees.
"Master, let's eat a plum!"
Hearing this, Xia Mei raised her hand to wipe the sweat on her forehead, and the fresh plums handed over by Wen Xi still had droplets of freshly washed water on them.
shook it twice and put it in her mouth, the sour Xia Mei instantly turned ugly, and her facial features were sadly tangled together.
Wen Xi laughed out loud, immediately reined in, and brought a cup of tea.
Xia Mei took two big sips to relieve the taste of souring her teeth, glared at Wen Xi with tears in her eyes, and scolded with a smile: "You Nizi, you dare to toss your master!"
Wen Xi spread his hands and acted innocent, "Master, don't blame me, it's you yourself who can't eat sour." ”
Xia Mei glared at her, stuffed the remaining plums into Wen Xi's mouth, and said angrily: "If you like it, you can eat it!"
Wen Xi stuck out his tongue, unceremoniously chewed and swallowed the remaining half of the plum, showed a bright smile at Xia Mei, and then ran away.
Xia Mei smiled helplessly and shook her head, this Nizi is becoming more and more cheerful, and when she gets together with Tang Bao, she can stab the sky.
However, everyone is happy about this change, and everyone knows that the knot in the hearts of the brothers and sisters of the Wen family is really good if they can let it go.
Just when everyone was secretly glad that they had let go of their knots, only Wu Song knew what kind of ruthlessness Wen Hao had in his heart.
Looking at the broken pebbles on the ground, Wu Song pursed his lips and glanced lightly at Wen Hao, who was holding a bow and arrow.
"Not bad."
The ecstasy flashed in Wen Hao's eyes, this is the highest evaluation in the past few months!
"Thank you, Master!" (To be continued.) )
