47. The whole family is on the move

It is said to be hearty, that is, to make cabbage cakes, but there is more white flour in the cakes, which is chewy and extraordinarily fragrant.

I bought a lot of flour because of the ** cake before, and there was just some left, as soon as Tong Xue was happy, she made cakes, singing the long-lost wheat fragrance in her mouth, Tong Xue was so excited.

After Xu Wenda finished eating, he gathered several brothers and sisters together, and did not say anything about what happened in the ancestral hall today, as if he was just dealing with an unrelated person in the ancestral hall.

Tong Xue also wondered why Xu Wenda suddenly called everyone over, only to know that Xu Wenda was going to talk about the autumn harvest.

Although the Xu family does not have much land, it is more than two acres, although it is not as much as other people's homes, but the Xu family does not have enough manpower, so in the next few days, harvesting grain has become the most important thing.

Xu Wenda said very cautiously, "The grain is going to be harvested in the past few days, and in the past few days, I will put other things aside and take back the wheat first." ”

In fact, the Xu family doesn't have anything else to do, there are not many things to be busy with at home, Tong Xue and they have been busy during this time, also because of the matter of selling tofu and pastries.

Although making money is important, but harvesting wheat is obviously more urgent, Tong Xue also nodded without objection, she knew that these were the Xu family's rations for the next year, of course, they would not eat it, but would sell it and exchange it for some miscellaneous grains back.

But now that there is a chicken cake, Tong Xue said that she had to let them leave some of the wheat, so she didn't admit that she just wanted to eat white noodles.

So early the next morning, Tong Xue got up to make corn tortillas for everyone, and boiled a thick pot of millet porridge.

Tong Xue made a lot of cakes, which are dry food for lunch to eat, Xu Wenda said last night, it is urgent to harvest wheat, and there is a period of time at home from the ground, in order to save time, he will not come back to eat at noon, and after eating in the morning, he can only gnaw dry food at noon.

Because she was not worried enough, Tong Xue did a lot more, but as soon as she looked up, she saw that Xu Wenda also came out wearing coarse cloth clothes, wearing a brown coarse cloth shirt on it, and the pants below were also coarse cloth, but the legs were slightly shorter, and the top was patched, so it is conceivable that this dress has been worn for a long time.

Since coming to this house, Tong Xue has never seen Xu Wenda dressed like this, and Sven's face is matched with this dress, which makes Tong Xue feel a sense of disobedience.

Tong Xue asked curiously, "Are you going too?" ”

Xu Wenda smiled gently, "Yes, I was very busy when I was harvesting wheat, although I didn't do it quickly, but I could do my best." ”

Xu Wenda arranged for everyone last night, but he didn't say anything about himself, Tong Xue thought that Xu Wenda wouldn't go.

Tong Xue felt that it was good for Xu Wenda to have this awareness, but when she thought of Xu Wenda's body, she was a little hesitant, "Your illness is not completely healed." ”

Xu Wenda has been treated for a period of time, although he still feels a little weak sometimes, but since he got sick, he has never been so good, and seeing that his younger brothers and sisters at home are busy, how can he sit still.

If it is on weekdays, forget it, after all, there are not many things at home on weekdays, that is, after Tong Xue came, she tinkered with things all day long, and she was busier than usual, but Tong Xue is a person who pays attention to the combination of work and rest, although he is busy, he is not too tired.

But harvesting grain is different, before he got sick, Xu Wenda would have a holiday at this time and let them come back to harvest wheat.

This work is busy for a period of time, even if it is a strong laborer, sometimes it is unbearable, and after it is over, it has to rest for a few days to recover. Although there is not much land at home, if Xu Wenyuan is allowed to come alone, it is estimated that he will have to take off a layer of skin.

After Xu Wenda fell ill last year, Xu Wenyuan went alone, and he lost weight after harvesting the wheat, so he felt that he was much better, and Xu Wenda couldn't sit still.

Originally, last night, Xu Wenda said that Xu Wenyuan would go to harvest wheat, Tong Xue and Xu Wan would stay at home, and there would be two small ones to take care of the family.

Don't let Xu Wan is Xu Wenda feel sorry for his sister-in-law, Xu Wan used to cook at home and take care of the children at this time, Xu Wenda was very sick last year, and Xu Wenda was added, so today Xu Wenda is still arranged like this.

As for Tong Xue, Xu Wenda's feelings for her are complicated, although one person in the family is enough, Xu Wenda still arranged for Tong Xue to stay with Xu Wan.

Xu Wenda is not a person who will make fun of himself, he will do his best to help, but he will also be measured, so he said, "The heavy work is all done by Wenyuan, I will pay attention." ”

Tong Xue really hasn't been to harvest wheat, but from Tong Xue's original memory, it can be seen that this is really not an easy task, and now that Xu Wenda has gone, how can he be embarrassed to stay at home as a healthy person, "Then I'll go too, it's enough to leave Wan'er alone at home." ”

Who knew that Xu Wan happened to hear Tong Xue say this, and then immediately followed suit, "I will also go with you, you didn't let me go two years ago, saying that I was young, and Wen Zhao and Jing'er were too young, so they needed to take care of them at home, and now they are so obedient, I can go with you." ”

Of course, Xu Wan knew that the eldest brother arranged this because she felt sorry for her, but she also felt sorry for her two elder brothers, although there was little land at home, but the two elder brothers were okay to study, and doing farm work was really not as good as those rough men in the village, and two acres of land was not easy for them.

Xu Wenzhao and Xu Jing, the two little ghosts, also rushed out like cannonballs at this time and threw themselves into Xu Wenda's arms, "Big brother, take us too, we have all grown up and can help." ”

Xu Wan looked at her younger brothers and sisters, wrote a face full of expectations, and originally wanted to say that they would stay at home, but as soon as her heart softened, it was done, "Big brother, why don't we all go, just let Jing'er and Wen Zhao follow us." ”

In fact, the children in the village are as big as Xu Wenzhao and Xu Jing, and in this season of wheat harvesting, although they can't help much, they will carry a small basket and follow the adults to pick up the missing ears of wheat.

It's just that at this time, it is always very easy to run into people in the village, and Xu Wenda doesn't want his younger brothers and sisters to hear those hurtful words outside, so he doesn't let them go.

Tong Xue looked at Xu Wenda, then at Xu Wan, and saw Xu Wan winking at her, probably hoping that Tong Xue could also help.

So Tong Xue said, "I made cakes this morning, I made a lot more, I originally wanted to eat it for Wen Yuan's lunch, if the whole family goes, I'm afraid it won't be enough, I'll make more." ”

Xu Wenda said "um", and Xu Wenzhao jumped up happily.

Xu Wan was also very happy, Xu Wenda agreed, since he didn't stop his sister-in-law from making cakes, he acquiesced.
