The busy days of farming are still going on, but Yang Xiuxiu accidentally became the child king of a group of half-grown children, mixing behind them to pick up rice ears with baskets, watching the children play in the fields, carrying adults to roast sweet potatoes, and even running to the stream to fight water fights.

Yang Xiuxiu has always maintained an attitude of participating and not participating, anyway, she picked up the rice ears, she ate the sweet potatoes, she didn't participate in the run, and she didn't jump into the river with a plop. Standing on the bank of the creek, Yang Xiuxiu observed the half-grown children playing giggling, accompanied by a hearty laugh and splashing water, and their family Nancy was one of them.

Of course, seeing the child playing so crazy, Yang Xiuxiu was also worried about whether there would be any safety hazards, so she always followed behind. Water and fire are ruthless, which is what our parents and teachers often taught us when we were children, but children in this era will not have these taboos, and they will jump around like monkeys.

Worry is part, Yang Xiuxiu feels that she can't deprive Nancy of the opportunity to play with her friends, maybe these things are more dangerous for us adults, but it is not easy to meet the opportunity of busy children to turn over the fields, she can't stop Nancy from having such a childhood because of her involvement.

Fortunately, the stream is not turbulent, and the water level is also very shallow, so Yang Xiuxiu sat on the bank and responded to the children from time to time, watching everyone have fun.

Because she had been on the shore for a long time, Yang Xiuxiu was not idle, and she actually fished up a lot of stone snails. These stone snails are attached to the stone wall on the shore, just like picking up ears of rice.

"Mother, what are you doing with so many snails?" Nancy was tired of playing, so she asked his mother for a halftime.

As soon as I heard Nancy say the snail, a group of friends also gathered around curiously, and everyone rushed to speak. As a result, before Yang Xiuxiu could say anything, these little guys started arguing endlessly.

"Nancy's mother must have picked up these snails and brought them back to the ducks to eat." ……

"The snails that our ducks eat are not like this at all." ……

"My mother fried this kind of snail for me, you can eat it." ……

As soon as I talked about eating, I heard a guy in the crowd fart out of time, even if he was in the water, it was still a shocking sound. It seems that this is the aftermath of eating roasted sweet potatoes before.

As a result, this fart successfully diverted the previous topic, who still paid attention to what Yang Xiuxiu was doing when she picked up the stone snail, everyone made fun of the fart skill of giving birth to a baby, which means that a new round of water fights has officially begun.

Watching a group of little guys standing in the water and playing exhausted, Yang Xiuxiu always kept a smile on the shore, and her grinning mouth couldn't close at all, these children are really funny, okay? Of course, what can't be stopped is the action of picking up stone snails in her hands, what the child said just now was right, it was to be eaten.

Occasionally, a few children would pick up some large stone snails and send them over in between playing, and slowly, the stone snails on Yang Xiuxiu's side began to pile up. The time is also slowly approaching the night.

"Okay everyone, it's not too early, look back and make a fire to cook, and wait for your parents to go back to eat." Most of the children in the countryside have been doing farm work since they were young, and I think their family Nancy will start a fire when she is three years old, and it is also excellent to help her parents who have returned from farming to boil hot water on such a hot day.

After listening to Yang Xiuxiu's urging, several children also walked ashore obediently. Although they are young, they also know how difficult it is for their parents, and if they go home now to do something, they will definitely be praised for a while, and children like to be praised by their parents.

Seeing Nancy say goodbye to her friends, Yang Xiuxiu also quickly packed up the stone snails she picked up into the bamboo basket, and the rice ears placed in the bamboo basket had been moved to Nancy's bamboo basket.

"Mother, are these snails cooked at home and eaten?" Nancy hadn't eaten snail meat before, and was not sure if Yang Xiuxiu would cook the snails and eat them.

"yes, Nancy wants to eat it?" Finally installed, Yang Xiuxiu straightened her waist and stretched out her arms, "Can you take the ears of rice?" We're going to go home and cook for your dad too. ”

Nancy lifted the bamboo basket and said childishly, "Yes, mother, you see me lift it." With that, he walked home first.

Yang Xiuxiu was behind her, looking at Nancy, who loved her watch, smiled and followed. It was okay at first, but Nancy was a little struggling later, and she picked up a lot of ears of rice with the participation of an adult.

In the end, the two bamboo baskets fell into her hands, and to be honest, she was a little struggling, but she also had to show Xiàn in front of the child. In this way, what is the difference between an adult and a child?

Yang Xiuxiu, the stone snails she brought back, kept them all in the vat, and then began to prepare tonight's meal.

"Mother, didn't you say that the fried snails were for Xi'er to eat?" Nancy was lying on the edge of the vat and had been watching the snail squirm.

"Raise it in the tank first, and when it is raised with water tomorrow, let's fry it and eat it." In fact, the water in the stream is very clean, and in this place that has not been polluted in the slightest, even the freshly picked up stone snails can be fried and eaten. It's just that there is still a lack of spices.

This spice is called 'Jin Buchang', at a very young age she knew that this smell of special vegetation is used to fry snails, there used to be two plants planted on the two discs in front of her house, when she was a child, she often picked leaves with the children around to smell, and over time, the two trees that were originally flourishing were bare in the end and only branches remained. For this, my grandmother also grabbed a few of us and came over for a lecture.

And this kind of vegetation, Yang Xiuxiu is very sure she has seen it at Huang Yue's house, and she can't forget that fragrance no matter what. Tomorrow, she will pick some 'gold not exchanged' and come back, add some chili peppers to it, and the fried stone snails will be delicious enough.

"Mother, Xi'er wants to eat now." Nancy was obviously greedy for freshness, clamoring to taste it now.

Yang Xiuxiu has been troubled for a long time, and she has no choice but to promise Nancy to fry some of him first. Since there is no 'gold does not change', press it first to replace it with 'sake lees', and this is exactly how most people cook snail meat in this era.

When she was small, Yang Xiuxiu ate the snail meat that Yang Li gave her to do, first overheated the water, and then picked out the snail meat with an embroidery needle, added to the sake lees for a while, and then got out of the pot after cooking.

So, while boiling hot water in the pot, Yang Xiuxiu went to Mrs. Su to ask for some sake lees. According to the above steps, Yang Xiuxiu first washed the stone snails, overheated them, picked the meat, and added the sake lees to the pot.

Nancy was overjoyed to see that there was snail meat to eat, and ran around the kitchen.

Because this plate of snail meat delayed a lot of time, when Su Li and Deng Lilian came back, Yang Xiuxiu was still busy in the kitchen, so she could only take out the steamed corn tortillas first and tell them to fill their stomachs first. Finally, a plate of bacon fried sauerkraut, a plate of green vegetables, a plate of bacon stewed potatoes, a plate of sake lees snail meat, and rice.

Since it was the busy farming season, Mrs. Su and Deng Lilian naturally ate with their family. This bacon and sauerkraut are all made by herself, and her favorite is this combination, which is delicious and not greasy, and it is especially delicious. Even Deng Lilian, who had always been a little restrained at their dinner table, couldn't help but eat three bowls of rice.

It seems that this harvest consumed a lot of her energy, so it is no wonder that the croppers are only allowed to eat three meals during the busy farming season.

In the end, the vegetables were empty, the rice was empty, it was the freshness of the snail meat, and Nancy also ate a lot.

After dinner, Yang Xiuxiu began to prepare the dry food they were going to bring tomorrow, corn and potato cutlets.

After washing the dishes and chopsticks, Su Li consciously came over to help, Yang Xiuxiu pushed him, "I'll do this little work, you go take a hot bath and go to bed early." "She is now a wife and a mother, and it is also a matter of duty for her to learn to be considerate of her husband.

"Haven't you been tired all day? I'll help you hurry. "A basket of rice ears, a water tank of stone snails, and a postponed dinner, Su Li naturally contacted Yang Xiuxiu and worked hard all day.

Yang Xiuxiu stuck out her tongue, she patronized and played with Nancy today, where can she be tired? To say, they are all women, Deng Lilian is doing a lot of work, and then looking at her, it is clear that she wants to avoid not participating, and if she plays with children, it is tiring.

With Su Li's help, the corn and potato meatloaf will be ready soon, now go to the pot to steam, and Su Li and Deng Lilian will be able to take them out tomorrow.

Before going to bed, Su Li also handed over all the wages, looking at the strings of copper coins handed over, Yang Xiuxiu laughed out loud, and then put it away without refusing. To be honest, more than 20 yuan is really not much in Yang Xiuxiu's eyes now, but this is Su Li's hard-earned money. Money and everything are secondary, and what she values most is action.

She wouldn't say that night, when she thought of Su Li, she grinned stupidly, this feeling was sweet.

The national harvest soon came to an end, but the busy figure was still continuing, 'threshing', 'drying the grain', everyone sweated to the fullest, and carried out the harvest to the end.

Yang Xiuxiu also accidentally thought that maybe she could raise some stone snails in her small fish pond, and then she pulled Su Li to fish for stone snails by the stream for more than half a month, and her fried snails also won Su Li's approval.

In the past half a month, Yang Xiuxiu also took advantage of the fact that the new rice had just come out, and went to the farmer's house to collect rice at a much cheaper price, so she settled some of it. Tearful eyes, who told them that their family has no land and no land? If you want to eat rice, you can only buy it, so you have to make money.

After buying rice, Yang Xiuxiu added up steamed rice wine. In this matter, Mrs. Su helped a lot, she is an older generation, and her daughter-in-law has to steam rice wine when she gives birth to a baby and becomes a mother-in-law. Back then, when Yang Xiuxiu gave birth to Nancy, she steamed it.

It's just that Mrs. Su doesn't understand, why did Yang Xiuxiu think of steamed rice wine at this time? Is it ......? R1152
