The heavy rain continued until the evening, and as soon as the rain stopped, I felt much more refreshed.

The sultry heat of the past few days disappeared, the sky was washed blue, the leaves were all oily green and seemed to glow, and a seven-colored rainbow was erected on the horizon, making the whole Qijiazhuang beautiful like a dream.

However, in such a beautiful and quiet moment, there was a cry that broke the peace.

This is several families have the lazy woman and lazy man, only said that it was too hard to get up in the middle of the night to cut the wheat, so they wanted to do a few more days of work, a little more leisure every day, but they didn't want to save lightly, but they were light, and a heavy rain put the wheat in the ground by mistake.

Looking at the bare fields of other people's homes, at this time a heavy rain has caused people to save a lot of things on the farmland, and there is still half of the wheat in their own fields that has been smashed and fallen, even now hurry up to harvest, I am afraid that I will not be able to harvest much, thinking about what to eat and drink in the future without wheat, and what to take to pay taxes, I will cry urgently.

Such people have always been unable to eat in the village because they are lazy, and few people sympathize with them when they cry, and every family closes the door and laughs in their own homes, and few people pay attention to those families.

Qi Laoniu also heard the sound of crying and shouting, he didn't have any sympathy, sighed and discussed with Qi Gu's family how much of the wheat harvested this year would be kept at home, and how much should be sold.

Yun Yao waited for the rain to stop and went to the backyard to pick some fresh melon vegetables and take them to the kitchen, squatted there to watch Qi Baozhu make vegetarian dishes, and talked to Qi Baozhu while watching, Qi Baozhu looked at the sky outside and smiled: "After this heavy rain, it will be sunny for a few days, just don't be busy, let's dry some vegetables." I'll get some more pickles, and I'll bring some when you go to Fucheng, and put the rest in the kiln for winter dinner. ”

"Okay." Yun Yao smiled and agreed: "How to get it, you can teach me." ”

Qi Baozhu was frightened when he heard this, and hurriedly waved his hand: "You just have to watch, but don't take a hand." ”

The Qi family was completely frightened by the food made by Yun Yao, obviously seeing that Yun Yao was thoughtful and meticulous when cooking, and every step was not bad, but the cooked food was so unbearable that people couldn't eat it.

Yun Yao herself knew her shortcomings, and she also laughed: "I know that I will become a dark dish as soon as I do it." I just don't do it. ”

Qi Baozhu breathed a sigh of relief. gave Yun Yao a basket: "You go pick some cucumbers, get some pickled cucumbers first, and then make pickled radishes tomorrow." ”

"Okay." Yun Yao took the basket and went to the back garden to pick a large basket full of cucumbers, but the picking was too full for her to lift. It was the treasure box that brought her into the kitchen. Qi Baozhu finished checking them one by one. took a large basin and poured the cucumbers into it, and told Yun Yao and Qi Bao to wash it and put it away.

The two of them washed while playing, waiting for the cucumbers to be washed. The pressurized well was full of water, almost flooding the yard.

Just when Qi Gu's came out, he was very happy at a glance: "You two are digging, look at the muddy water in this place, hurry up and change your clothes and shoes, don't step on a room of muddy footprints in the house." ”

Yun Yao smiled and Qi Bao Box brought the washed cucumbers to the kitchen, and then changed their clothes and shoes.

When they arrived at the kitchen again, they saw Qi Baohua setting up the case and knife, cutting the cucumbers one by one, Qi Baohua cut the cucumbers into strips and put them in another large basin, and after a while, they cut a full pot of cucumbers, cut the basin and put it aside for later use.

Yun Yao asked Qi Baozhu what else he was going to do, but Qi Baozhu just shook his head and said that he didn't need it today.

Yun Yao was a little bored, so she watched Qi Baozhu cook on the side, Qi Baozhu made some porridge, steamed steamed buns, and fried a few side dishes, the dinner was refreshing and delicious, Yun Yao ate two big bowls of porridge in one go, and ate a lot of dishes.

On the second day, it was a sunny day, and when he got up early in the morning, Baozhu put the cut cucumber in the yard where the sun could shine, and put a big wooden board at the bottom, and spread the cucumbers on the wooden board to dry, in order to prevent mosquitoes and flies from crawling on the top, the cucumber was also buckled with a curtain as a mask, which was ventilated and breathable, so that mosquitoes and flies could not get in.

After a day of drying like this, the cucumber strips were almost dry, Yun Yao helped to collect the dried cucumber strips, Baozhu began to cut peppers, and made a lot of peppercorns, as well as onions, ginger and garlic and the like were also cut and put aside for later use.

Put oil in a hot pan, fry these things to dry, put the cucumber strips in a big jar, pour soy sauce, sprinkle some salt, simmer with sesame oil, put a little sugar, and finally pour the fried oil on the top, cover the jar, seal the mouth with yellow mud and put it in a cool place.

Yun Yao has been watching the jewel make a set, and her nose is full of the indescribable spicy and sweet smell, and she wants to eat it immediately, but the jewel says that it will be left for a few days before it can be eaten, otherwise the taste will not be able to enter and taste tasteless, and Yun Yao can only endure it.

Baozhu was really funny when she looked at her gluttonous appearance, and said while cooking rice: "Since you want to eat, I'll get you a three-flavor cucumber, which can be regarded as satisfying your hunger, and the fourth brother complains about me because of the greed in the province." ”

"Uh-huh." Yun Yao nodded vigorously: "Do it quickly, do it quickly." ”

Baozhu shook his head with a wry smile, steamed the steamed buns and picked a few tender cucumbers and cut them into strips, took salt, vinegar and minced garlic salt, and put sesame oil and sugar on the pot for stir-frying, fried the peppers and peppercorns after frying, and poured the hot oil on the salted cucumber strips, before pouring the oil on it, and the taste came out.

Qi Baozhu took the chopsticks and handed them to Yun Yao, Yun Yao quickly took them and tasted them, and gave her thumbs up: "Absolutely, the taste is really good." ”

"If you like to eat, eat more, it's just a simple side dish, just go back and ask Sister-in-law Liu to make it for you." Qi Baozhu said with a smile, and began to stir-fry other dishes intently.

Yun Yao made a bitter little face: "Sister-in-law Liu, how can it be as delicious as you make, she can't make this taste." ”

She took another bite, picked up the plate and walked out: "I'll go and give my mother a taste." ”

Qi Baozhu didn't stop him, and waved his hand: "Hurry up, hurry up." After Yun Yao left, she concentrated on stir-frying.

Yun Yao and Qi Gu finished eating a large plate of three-flavored cucumbers, and in the evening, both of them held on, and they didn't eat anything, and when they ate dinner, when the treasure bottle took out the watermelon that was surging in the well, Yun Yao regretted it abnormally, but her stomach was already very full, and she couldn't eat it anymore, so she could only watch others eat the cold and sweet watermelon and she swallowed saliva next to her.

Qi Gu's funny tightness when he saw it, hugged her and comforted her: "Wait for Ming'er, let's still eat watermelon, keep it for you." ”

The days in the Qi family were very comfortable, and Yun Yao didn't want to go back to Fucheng, but she was still worried about Qi Jing, and in two days, she was going to pack up and go to Fucheng, and she had just packed her things, and before she had time to set up the car, she watched Yang Yu's daughter-in-law who was close to her left hurrying over, and pulled Yun Yao into the door and said: "Oh, it's a coincidence, if I come one step too late, you'll be afraid to leave." ”

"What's the matter with my sister-in-law?" Yun Yao blinked at Yang Yu's daughter-in-law.

Yang Yu's daughter-in-law smiled: "It's okay, I happened to meet your mother when I went back to my parents' house today, she asked me to bring you a letter, your brother married his daughter-in-law on the eighteenth of this month, you must remember to go back." ”

"The eighteenth of this month?" Yun Yao was speechless when she heard it, it's twelve today, okay, this is about to come before the Yun family asked someone to give her a word, does this mean that she wants to go back, or doesn't you want her to go back?

After confirming with Yang Yu's daughter-in-law again, Yun Yao sent Yang Yu's daughter-in-law away with a smile, and hurriedly went to tell Yinzhu who set the car that she didn't have to be busy, and discussed with Qi Gu's family whether she wanted to go to Yun's house at the end of the eighteenth.

To be honest, Yun Yao was really unwilling to go.

However, in the end, it is the original mother's family, if she doesn't show up when her brother marries her daughter-in-law, she will definitely have to be told that she is ignorant and does not know how to be polite, and maybe there will be those who chew the root of the tongue and say that the Qi family is harsh, and she will not be asked to come back.

Qi Gu's meaning is to go, just go and show up with a courtesy, don't stay long, just say that the family is busy and you have to come back early.

Yun Yao also meant that, so she discussed that she would go to Yun's house in the morning of the eighteenth day, and she would come back quickly after eating the noodles.

After that, the two discussed what to give with them, Yun Yao meant to give money, but Qi Gu disagreed, turned out a few horses from the warehouse, took a big red bag and a leather bag, and took a high-quality red seal and sealed some silver to prepare, and said to Yun Yao that the gift is not only to give money, but also to give things, mostly to send cloth, a village's neighborhood gift is mostly a few feet of flower cloth, or send a quilt or something, Yun Yao can't go back to her parents' house with a gift like the neighborhood, at least two pieces of cloth to see it, She also said that the things she prepared were also rich.

After getting ready, Qi Gu sat down, and before he could pick up the tea and take a sip, he remembered something, slapped his thigh and said, "I forgot, I almost broke something." ”

Yun Yao hurriedly asked what was wrong, Qi Gu smiled: "The three sisters in your family are all married, and you don't compare with your eldest sister, she is a concubine, and she can't compare with others, but your second sister is on top, you should discuss with your second sister with the ceremony, and the sisters should be about the same, otherwise it won't look good if you have more or more of her." ”

It's the same reason, Yun Yao agreed to think about it and go to Yun Zhen to discuss.

She thought that the wheat had been harvested, and there was nothing to do in the field, and the copper lock had begun to look for medicinal materials or something in the mountains in the past few days, and she was going to go back to the city in a day or two, so she found the copper lock, and asked the copper lock to go to Xue's house to see if Yun Zhen had come back when he entered the city.

On the second day, the copper lock entered the city, and sure enough, he went to Xue's house for a walk, and when he came back, he told Yun Yao that Yun Zhen had gone back.

Yun Yao hurried over and discussed it with Yun Zhen, it turned out that Yun Zhen meant that no matter what, it was the eldest brother who got married, and it was not good to see them as sisters, so they wanted to be more casual, but Yun Yao was not happy.

Yun Yao asked Yun Zhen a word: "What did Yun Chong give us when we got married?" Did my father and mother accompany us with the same objects? Which one didn't walk almost naked. ”

Just such a sentence, Yun Zhen was stunned and her eyes were red: "Cheng, you can do whatever you say, two pieces of cloth, five taels of silver red seal, is there more." ”

It's rare for Yun Zhen to be so tough, Yun Yao happily gave her a thumbs up: "You should do this." (To be continued.) )
