Chapter 60: Lunch
Gu Rushan sat on the ground with a plop, not even perceiving the coolness of the dew seeping in under his buttocks.
Li Qinghai's family over there has already been busy.
It's all familiar work.
The five men separated the five elements, the sickles in their hands flew one after another, and the stacks of wheat around them were piled up.
They are all good hands in the field.
There is no need to ask for anything, they are all familiar hands who will automatically get started as soon as they go.
Li Weimin, Li Weiqiang, and the two sons in the family are all capable people who work in the field, and this work is really difficult for them.
Many people in the village who were harvesting wheat in the field saw this scene, and people talked about it, after all, the Li family collected wheat for their daughter, and no one could say anything.
Except for envy and jealousy, there is really nothing to say.
can only guess in my heart why Li Xuemei and Gu Ruhai went, not to mention that such a large family of five people are busy working in Gu Ruhai's field, but Gu Ruhai does not even have a shadow, which will inevitably make everyone speculate.
Gu Xiaoqing at home is making lunch at home, last night Li Xuemei and Gu Ruhai said that they would go back to their grandmother's house when they came back this afternoon, and when the time came, let their aunts come tomorrow, Gu Xiaoqing thought that one day was enough for aunts to learn one or two tricks of eating skills.
Then the rest is not what Gu Xiaoqing cares about.
The uncles are much more flexible and thoughtful than Li Xuemei and Gu Ruhai, at least they are not worried about the problem of opening a business.
This food business is focused on a taste of authenticity, as long as it is delicious and the materials are clean, I believe that no one does not like to buy it.
Gu Xiaoqing filled a jar of boiled water in a clay pot and added some white sugar to it, which Gu Xiaoqing bought from a small shop in the village.
Boiled water is also cooled.
A stack of large bowls and a jar of water were packed in a basket, and Gu Xiaoqing sent them to the ground.
Because the field was early, the crops were all dawn at five o'clock, so after a while, Gu Xiaoqing only came to nine o'clock to deliver water.
Greeting the villagers in the surrounding fields, Gu Xiaoqing came to the field and greeted Li Qinghai from afar: "Grandpa, uncle, second uncle, Brother Jianguo, Brother Jianhui, come and drink a little water and take a rest." ”
Li Qinghai straightened his waist, and immediately smiled on his face, this nephew and granddaughter are very likable.
The whole family went up to the ground, found a place under the shade of the tree, and sat down, their feet covered with mud.
Gu Xiaoqing put the bowl away and poured five bowls of water.
Hand them to everyone one by one.
Li Qinghai took a big sip and narrowed his eyes, "This is still sugar water." ”
Li Weimin and the others also followed and took a sip, it was really sweet.
Gu Xiaoqing looked at her grandfather with a smile and the sweet they drank, which was also the greatest sincerity they could take out now.
Gu Xiaojie also followed, and at this time he also squatted beside Li Qinghai, rubbing a sip of sugar water from time to time, who let his second sister ignore him.
Li Qinghai looked at the two children, and his heart was also very comfortable, he knew in his heart that he brought his family to help this time, to put it bluntly, it was not because when Li Weimin sent food last time, he encountered something wrong with Old Man Gu.
And Gu Ruhai's amazing move left a deep impression on Li Weimin, so he went back to learn from Li Qinghai.
Li Qinghai knew that this was Gu Ruhai's change, no matter what the reason for this change was, it was a good thing.
After all, Xuemei's life with Gu Ruhai has always been more bitter than Coptis chinensis, a man can't support it, what can a woman do.
In the past, Li Qinghai always thought that Gu Ruhai had soft roots and a curved waist, and he was not a man, crying about his daughter and three grandsons.
But this time, when I heard my son say this, I was sure in my heart, I wanted to come and see it, and I also heard that Gu Ruhai's business was also doing well, ten yuan a day, that is not a few.
So thinking about how to help Gu Ruhai and them, anyway, this wheat harvest can't be avoided, and there is a lot of strong labor in his own family, that is, he can help Gu Ruhai finish the harvest in two days.
Gu Ruhai and Li Xuemei of the province also have to delay business.
So the family came.
The most important thing is that Li Weimin has long wanted to come, but his niece agreed to find a way for him to get a business to do, not to covet anything, but Li Weimin is also thinking about improving the conditions of the family, after all, no one is rich now.
There are still two half-grown children in the family who are about to start a family, Li Weimin, who is an old man, is not in a hurry.
Even Li Qinghai was secretly anxious in his heart, and originally planned to discuss with the captain in the autumn today, and contract a few more acres of land, so that he could have a good harvest and an extra income next year.
But after listening to Li Weimin's words, Li Qinghai was also a little moved, but Li Qinghai didn't dare to take Gu Xiaoqing, a twelve-year-old child, seriously, but Li Qinghai knew his own daughter's craftsmanship.
Whatever family heirloom cheats or something, it's all fooling outsiders.
Li Qinghai doesn't know what his own people are like.
I heard that it was my nephew and granddaughter who made it up, Li Qinghai really believed it, after all, Gu Xiaoqing's last appearance at their house was really amazing.
This time it's a win-win-win-win-win affair.
After a few people drank the water, rested for a while, and then went down to the ground again.
Gu Xiaoqing also packed up the bowls and jars, and led Gu Xiaojie home to make lunch.
By the way, two catties of meat were cut at Feng Butcher's place.
returned home and sent Gu Xiaojie to play in the yard.
Gu Xiaoqing hurriedly cooked.
If you go to the ground early in the morning, people eat early, and this noon meal should also be a little earlier, otherwise the people who go down to the ground will not be able to withstand it.
It's still a steamed bun mixed with cornmeal and white flour, and two big cages are steamed in one go, mainly because today's men are all big men, and five men must have a big appetite.
pulled two cabbages from the ground, and sent Xiaojie to use a basket of soybeans to go to the tofu factory to exchange for two catties of tofu.
Gu Xiaoqing planned to make a pork belly, cabbage, tofu stewed vermicelli at noon, a pot of corn paste, and steamed buns with cornmeal, which was very hearty.
This meal is one of the best in the village.
The only fly in the ointment is that it is not a white flour steamed bun.
As soon as the food in front of me was on the table, the courtyard door rang, and Li Qinghai and the five of them walked in.
Gu Xiaoqing took out a large plate of steamed buns from the kitchen, and said to Li Qinghai: "Grandpa, in that basin, I have already made water for you, and it has been drying for a long time, you can wash and eat." ”
On the other hand, he put down the basin and went to hold the corn paste.
