It's already dog days, the hottest time in the whole summer, Lu Xiaoyi goes to the stream to cut the grass every day, and after cutting the grass, he goes to the cool stream to play, fishing for mussel shells and screws is a must, chopping up the chickens and adding food, the egg production has increased steadily, the eggs in the egg basket have increased, and the happy family is happy.

In addition to Xiaoding, Lu Xiaoyi has another right-hand man, that is Liu Bao. Since the overboard incident, Liu Bao came to Lu Xiaoyi's sister and brother to play every day, Lu Xiaoyi went to mow the grass, he helped to catch mussel shells and screws, and sometimes turned over to the small crab, so he used the tough grass bolt and brought it back to Xiao Geng to play.

The little fat man Shen Qiang has not yet gotten rid of the shadow of drowning, and he does not dare to go to the stream for the time being, but he appeared near Lu Xiaoyi mowing the grass not far away, and when he saw Lu Xiaoyi looking over, he hummed and raised his head, and his nostrils were facing the sky.

Lu Xiaoyi wiped the water angrily, and Shen Qiang showed a 'you come to beat me'.

Lu Xiaoyi didn't bother to take care of him, she didn't have time to guess the mind of the arrogant young man.

After mowing the grass on this day, Lu Xiaoyi surrounded a pit of water next to the stream, and miraculously fished out some transparent small river shrimp, looking at the small shrimp that bounced in the taro leaves, Lu Xiaoyi licked her lips, she loved to eat shrimp the most in her previous life.

Lu Xiaoyi didn't have the heart to stay any longer, so he walked back with Xiaoding Liu Bao with a straw basket, and when he saw Yulan, he yelled to eat the leek box.

Yulan laughed at her greed while making noodles, Lu Xiaoyi deliberately added lips to pretend to be weird, Yulan smiled and poked a white mark on her forehead with her face-staining hand.

More than a dozen river shrimp are soaked in water in the basin, these river shrimps are very clean, they are all natural and pollution-free good things, Lu Xiaoyi finished cleaning up the river shrimp, and carried the basket to cut leeks, followed by Xiao Ding Xiaogeng and the newly collected little brother Liu Bao.

The tender leeks are about half a chopsticks high, in this era without pesticides and fertilizers, the vegetable fields mainly rely on farmhouse fertilizer, and the leeks do not grow fat, to be exact, they should be described as thin and small. However, despite its thinness, its flavor is very strong, and if it is not encircled by a bamboo fence, it will soon be pecked bald by free-range chickens.

Lu Xiaoyi raised his feet and climbed into the fence, Xiao Ding also turned in to help, Xiao Geng and Liu Bao stood outside and watched.

I only heard Liu Bao stammer: "I, I haven't eaten a leek box with shrimp." After speaking, he swallowed violently.

Xiao Geng also swallowed his saliva, "I haven't eaten it." Xiao Geng has been playing with Liu Bao for a long time, and he began to stutter when he spoke.

Xiao Ding cut a handful of leeks, leaned close to his nose and sniffed hard, "Wow! It smells so good! ”

Xiao Geng also shouted to sniff, Xiao Ding gave them a few leeks, Xiao Geng and Liu Bao sniffed vigorously, and even inserted them into their nostrils to play treasure.

Xiao Ding couldn't stop giggling, Lu Xiaoyi looked up, his heart was a little embarrassed, and secretly thought that the leeks that had been inserted in his nostrils must be resolutely thrown away.

When the leek box came out of the pot, Yulan picked up a big plate and asked Lu Xiaoyi to serve it to the West Courtyard, in terms of food, Yulan was still very generous to her in-laws.

Lu Xiaoyi came back quickly, Xiaoding and they had already eaten.

Lu Xiaoyi is not afraid of being hot, so he will eat one of them, and the filling with shrimp meat is different, and the umami is stronger. The leeks box in the moon bend is brown and crispy on both sides, and the bite is the taste of leek eggs and fresh shrimp, and you don't feel tired of eating it again.

"Eat slowly, be careful of scalding!" Yulan watched a few children spitting and eating too ugly, and she was angry and laughing.

Lu Xiaoyi eats better, Xiao Ding is also more gentle, Xiao Geng and Liu Bao are ugly, the hot soup flows out and sticks to the back of their hands, hot squeaks, and they are reluctant to throw away the leek box in their hands, Yulan hurriedly wiped them with a handkerchief, and repeatedly emphasized that they should eat slowly.

When Liu Bao left, Yulan packed a few for him to take home to eat, and after going out for a while, Liu Bao's cry came from outside the hospital, and it turned out that Shen Qiang had snatched Liu Bao's leek box.

Lu Xiaoyi is angry, it seems that this little fat man's skin is itchy again, and he has to find a chance to beat him.

Yulan packed a few leek boxes for Liu Bao, and Lu Xiaoyi's sister and brother personally escorted Liu Bao home.

The next day, Liu Bao brought a few catties of meat and stammered: "I, my mother said that I eat at my aunt's house, no, no, no." ”

Yulan asked Liu Bao to have fun with Lu Xiaoyi's sister and brother, and went out with the meat, thinking that she was going to Liu Bao's house.

When Magnolia returned, the meat in her hand was gone, and she looked happy with a smile on her face.

When mowing the grass in the afternoon, the little fat man jumped out of nowhere and snatched Lu Xiaoyi's grass basket, Lu Xiaoyi was too lazy to pretend to be lame and run, so he didn't chase him, and continued to mow the grass, and the magpie and Xiaofang who were mowing the grass together all scolded Shen Qiang.

Shen Qiang ran out of the way with the basket, and when he saw that Lu Xiaoyi didn't chase after him, he walked back again, holding the basket and said confidently: "Take the leek box in exchange!" ”

Don't say it's okay, as soon as Lu Xiaoyi says it, he gets angry, yesterday the little fat man robbed Liu Bao's leek box halfway, and today he robbed her grass basket, and he actually wanted to use the leek box to change it, sure enough, the child's brain circuit is fun and angry.

"To change or not to change?" The little fat man urged him tightly, and even chirped his lips, as if he was reminiscing about yesterday's deliciousness.

Liu Bao angrily revealed, "You, you, you rob me of food." ”

The magpie was also angry, and the sickle pointed at Shen Qiang and said, "Shen Fatty, why are you so delicious?" ”

Shen Qiang was a little embarrassed, blushing and relaxing the conditions, "I can bring white noodles and eggs to your family." ”

Ghosts are rare for your white-flour eggs.

When Lu Xiaoyi snatched her basket from Shen Qiang, he picked up a small stone and pinched it in his hand, and said to Shen Qiang: "Come here, I promise not to kill you!" ”

Shen Qiang snorted, but he didn't return the basket.

Lu Xiaoyi promised Yulan not to smash Shen Qiang's head again, so she stared at Shen Qiang all the time looking for an opportunity, where to smash? The head can't be smashed, the hand is difficult to aim, and the little finch can't be smashed, in case it is smashed, the Shen family is estimated to kill her, it seems that she can only smash a large area of meat, but Shen Qiang has been facing her to show off her might, and she can't smash his ass at all.

Lu Xiaoyi buried his head in the grass and continued to mow the grass, and Shen Qiang squatted not far away with the basket, staring at her.

Lu Xiaoyi piled the mowed grass aside, and then began to touch the mussel shells and screws.

Shen Qiang couldn't hold his breath, he approached the stream, Lu Xiaoyi pretended not to know, calculated the distance and got up suddenly, making a gesture to chase him, Shen Qiang quickly turned around and ran back, forgetting to mention the basket.

Lu Xiaoyi took the opportunity to aim at the little fat man's fleshy butt and quickly attacked.

"Ahh Shen Qiang shouted loudly, covered his ass with his hands, and turned around, "Cripple Xiaoyi, you smash my ass!" ”

The magpies all covered their mouths and laughed, "You deserve it!" ”

Lu Xiaoyi clapped his hands, unhurriedly stepped forward to the basket, and rolled his eyes at Shen Qiang, "It's you who smashed it!" ”

Shen Qiang rubbed his buttocks and said cheekily: "You smashed me, pay me for eating the leek box." ”

…… I can't forget it!

"Wait for next time!" Lu Xiaoyi finished filling the basket with grass and began to fish for screws again.

Shen Qiang rubbed his buttocks, squatted and watched from a distance, and then moved to a stream pond next to him, and fished out a bag of mussel shells and screws for Lu Xiaoyi.

Until one day at the end of summer, Lu Xiaoyi and Xiaoding Liu Bao were lucky and caught a lot of river shrimp.

Yulan made a lot of leek boxes this time, and brought a lot of them to the West Courtyard, and asked Lu Zhong to bring some surplus grain, of course, the little fat man Shen Qiang was also called by Lu Xiaoyi to come home, and he ate a round belly.

Lu Zhong came back and brought Xiao Yi a bag of thorny roses, thinking that the surplus grain was picked for her.

In the blink of an eye, the autumn harvest came, and the corn, sorghum, sweet potatoes and all kinds of beans were fully ripe, and the drooping and swollen appearance was waiting for the farmers to harvest.

Lu Zhong stopped carrying passengers and Magnolia was busy with the autumn harvest.

Lu Xiaoyi and Xiaoding also joined the ranks of the autumn harvest, doing some farm work within their ability, such as picking ripe bean pods, cleaning the mud on sweet potatoes, pulling out the coating on corn, and collecting the grain scattered on the ground.

Yulan looked up at the sky from time to time, and estimated that the hour had come, so she instructed Lu Zhong to put the little sister on the donkey's back and carry her home.

The donkey swayed leisurely, Xiao Ding hummed a brisk nursery rhyme behind his back, the surrounding fields were busy figures of farmers, a few flower dogs chasing in the open space in the distance, and the mountains in autumn were no longer pure green, a little more yellow, mixed with brilliant red.

While enjoying the beautiful scenery of the autumn countryside, Lu Xiaoyi shook the thatch in his hand, occasionally felt the cool autumn breeze on his face, and the fatigue of his body suddenly went away.

When they got home, the little sister was busy cooking, and Lu Zhong unloaded the corn on the donkey's back and went to work in the fields again.

The busy autumn harvest finally ended before the autumn rain came, and the autumn clothes at the bottom of the box turned out again.

Lu Zhong found a carpenter to make a canopy for the donkey cart, put on a coat, and began to carry passengers again.

The autumn rain is continuous, and there are not many people traveling. On the official road to Yifu City, there are four donkey carts waiting for each other, two in Xiaxi Village, and one in the neighboring village, not counting the old ox carts that take care of their heads.

Lu Zhong looked at the three extra donkey carts, and his heart was a little blocked, but he was helpless. When he got home at night, he took out five pennies and sat on the kang in frustration, the three children came up to help him pinch his shoulders and beat his back, and Yulan put away five copper coins, looking puzzled.

Lu Zhong opened his mouth and said: "Zhang Gaoming and Feng Xishun from our village also drove the donkey cart to start carrying passengers today, and a person surnamed Li from the neighboring village also added in. ”

Yulan's frowning old Gao said unhappily: "I won't talk about Feng Xishun in our village, his family has a donkey, that Zhang Gaoming is a bastard, where did his donkey come from?" ”

Lu Zhong wanted to speak and stopped, glanced at a few children, and then said vaguely: "Chen Sijia borrowed it!" ”

As soon as the dead ghost Chen Si was mentioned, Yulan thought of the little widow of the Chen family, gritted her teeth angrily, with a look of disdain, some words could not be said in front of the child, she could only look at Lu Zhong, she knew it in her heart.

Lu Zhong continued: "It's raining, and not many people have entered the city, so a few old acquaintances who sell vegetables and eggs have come here, and they have all snatched them alive. ”

"Acquaintances are coming, you should hurry up and say hello!"

"I thought it was an acquaintance and didn't say hello, who would think that they were so greedy, and they started to pull it directly, besides, those acquaintances are all from our village, and it's not easy to say anything if they are pulled into the car." Lu Zhong sighed, thinking of today's robbery, he felt uncomfortable, regretting that he didn't take the initiative, and felt that their actions were too ugly.

"You made five cents today, what about those few?"

"Zhang Gaoming's hands are too dark, and he has to charge money when the basket occupies a position, and a few people are not popular, and they got into the car of me and Xishun. I'll do the math, I'll earn about five cents from Xishun, and it's good if Zhang Gaoming can earn two cents. Lu Zhong thought of Zhang Gaoming's deflated appearance, and he was a little gloating, who made his hands so black.

"Two texts?" Magnolia was also a little surprised.

"Well, people who are in a hurry to enter the city on a rainy day are all short of money at home and want to sell some vegetable eggs, all with large and small baskets, Zhang Gaoming wants to collect basket money, who wants to take his car? I saw that he had two people in the car in the morning and came back empty in the evening. ”

"He deserves it, he wants to eat a fat man in one bite, how can there be such a suitable thing!" Magnolia scoffed.
