Wasteland

"Zhao Yi, Zhao Ren, you brothers, after breakfast for a while, hurry up and drive the carriage to the town first to buy the two pork fans ordered yesterday. Also buy some fresh vegetables, like rape, cabbage, amaranth, cabbage. Look at buying more. If you see chickens and ducks selling in the town, try to buy as many as possible, remember to buy them all, and you must not buy those who are sick, and you can't eat them. ”

"Knowing the owner, if nothing happens, our brothers will leave."

"Wait, I'll go back after breakfast."

"Owner, we just went to the kitchen to get a few steamed buns, and Aunt Zhang also put vegetables in the steamed buns. We ate while walking on the road, and we were very busy today, and we went early and returned early. The boss Zhao Ren replied as he walked out.

"Xiagan, is this grocery shopping arranged? What about other people. Old man Ma asked his son-in-law as he walked towards the hall.

"Dad, I just sent the grocery buyer away, and the other things haven't been arranged yet? You look at the palms of your hands,"

"Then go and see how the arrangements are in the kitchen? You, Yuzhu and I went to see if the things sacrificed on the wasteland were placed? ”

"Oh, Dad, you have breakfast and then go, don't go hungry."

"I know this, I already ate it when I came out, I'm busy today, whoever eats it now, Yuzhu, you ask a few people to carry the sacrificial things, and that table, it's done, don't forget to take things."

"I've already checked everything, there's nothing missing, now I'll lead someone over to set up the scene, don't run around, I'll help my brother-in-law worry about other things!"

"You stinky boy still dislikes your father, don't I help you watch it, I'm afraid you can't get it right, and you're inexperienced." Ma Youcai laughed and scolded his son.

"Master, what are my cousins and I doing today, we plan to help well." Ma Xuming took his cousin and ran to his grandfather to get the work.

"You two, get a table, and register the names of those who have come to work today on the other side of the wasteland. And the ox cart they brought, which has to be registered. And those plows, and whoever took the rake, must also be registered. "Old man Ma is really in charge.

"What are you running in all your rage? Tap, your sister is still sleeping, she's tired these days. As soon as Mrs. Ma arrived in the courtyard, she saw her grandson and grandson running out hand in hand, and hurriedly whispered to stop the two.

As soon as the two heard Mrs. Ma say this, they hurriedly relaxed their steps and quietly walked out to do their own business. And Yuxin, who was sleeping in the house, had actually woken up a long time ago, and she was deeply moved when she heard the people in the family think about herself so much.

"Old man, you go and look at the stall outside, and I'll go to the kitchen. I'll also command once. After saying that, Mrs. Ma turned around and went to the kitchen.

"Just now, I let the grassroots go."

"He's a man, how can he know so much about kitchen matters."

"Grassroots, after eating, you will go outside to get busy, and leave the kitchen to me, just your daughter-in-law and her second aunt." When Mrs. Ma passed by the dining room, she said hello when she saw her son-in-law eating breakfast.

"Oh." Liu Caogen hurriedly agreed, he was worried about going to the kitchen for a while, Bijing The kitchen was full of women, and it was really inconvenient for him to be a big man. But the father-in-law arranged it again, thinking that the father-in-law must have not thought it through at that time. Now that his mother-in-law has come to help, he can't ask for it.

"Yulan, you lead two people to pick and wash the vegetables that we picked back from our field. His second aunt, you lead four people to steam more steamed buns, there are many people today, it must be too late to make rice, this bun will have to be made more, this dry body lì people work hard, you have to make people eat well, but you can't lose people. The old lady's words were hot in the hearts of the women in the kitchen who had signed the deed of sale. They all feel that they must work hard after meeting a good owner to make their lives stable, and they don't want to live such a precarious life.

"That Zhang Youcui, you just have to burn the fire today, and whether the firewood is chopped is done."

"Old lady, it was approved yesterday, and there is a big yard in the backyard." Zhang Youcui replied.

"Hello, my sister-in-law has just arranged things, a few of them make steamed buns, stir-fry, wash vegetables, we have arranged, the meat will come back in a while, I will arrange another person, cut the meat, and the water to wash it and get it done, do you think it's okay?"

"There are a lot of people and things today, so everyone will work harder, especially his aunt is really troublesome for you today, you have to worry more, it's the first time that my daughter's family has such a big thing, there must be some things that are not well considered, let's discuss it and don't make mistakes."

"Auntie, what are you talking about? My brother's family is such a good thing, we should stretch out our hand, not to mention, I also give it to my brother, the helper, you're welcome. Ma Xiumei said politely.

"I've already killed the owner, what do you think I'm going to do?"

"Feng Caixia, you beat the killed fish into a flower knife for her, and then pass it through the oil, and we will make braised carp in a while, that one is simpler." Ma Yulan commanded Feng Caixia, who was carrying Huang in.

"Madam, this meat, sewerage and vegetables have been bought, look where to put it." Zhao Ren and Zhao Yi brothers carried two of them, and a large basket of vegetables came in, and there were also four people who carried the vegetable frame.

"You guys put the dishes in the courtyard at the door of this kitchen, find two people to cut the pork for me, cut it into several large pieces, chop the ribs for me, and cut the pork leg for me. I have two more large wooden basins for me, which will be easy to use in a while. ”

"Mother, you are not picking vegetables, you go and call me the girls Qingxing, Qinghe, and Qingling, and help me chop the meat in this yard into meat filling, and cut it into meat slices and meat pieces."

"Okay, I'll call you, and I just said that it was arranged." The old lady muttered and walked away.

"Madam, let's come to the kitchen to help, where we go you can arrange a place for me." Qingxing led a few girls in and asked.

"It's those meats, Zhao Ren and Zhao Yi have already made them, cut them into large pieces, you cut them into small pieces for me, chop them into meat filling, or cut them into small pieces for me, make braised pork, put them in a wooden basin, and they will be easy to use in a while."

"Got it, ma'am, let's get it." Qingxing replied on behalf of everyone.

The kitchen was busy from early in the morning. Yuxin had breakfast and went to the place of sacrifice in the wasteland.

In the place of sacrifice in the wasteland, the heads were driven, and the old people and children were all smiling. Villagers greeted each other loudly and laughed at each other, and children chased and frolicked each other on the grass. In the center of the open space is a sacrificial table, on which are placed incense, candles, paper, money, and offerings. Grandfather, father, uncle, and some elders in the village all gathered around the table to discuss the details of the ceremony for a while.

Looking at this lively and cheerful scene, I already think of the scene of various festivals held in modern times. How many more bunting and balloons? With a little more preparation, the cabaret show will become a modern art festival or something.

Looking at the scene, thinking of the distant modern times, Yiqiē seemed to be far away from him, and Yu Xin couldn't help but feel sad. In my previous life, I participated in countless celebrations, but I never felt that I was the master, it was just work, but looking at this scene today, I couldn't help but feel proud and proud of myself, this is the reward for the efforts she made in coming to this home for this family. The previous life is very far away from oneself, it is better to live in the present, there are parents who love themselves, grandparents, brothers and sisters, they are their beloved family, they are the motivation for what they want to protect now and work hard for.

Yu Xin sighed her mood here.

On a big tree not far from the square at home, there are two young men in brocade clothes, these two are Zhao Mingxuan and Jin Ruizhe's two demons. The two of them also came to participate in the celebration, but the two of them arrived first, and they didn't want to spoil their interest in watching the scene because of some red tape, so the two hid in the trees to watch.

But the two of them who watched with great interest, when they saw Yu Xin's ethereal smile, their hearts couldn't help but twitch, as if she was about to float away at any time. Xing moved as he wished, and when the two of them understood, they were already standing beside Yu Xin.

Yu Xin was stunned at first when she saw the two of them, and then led the maid to salute the two of them before asking.

"Why are you two here? You two little guys and your retinue. You two are waiting here for me to call my dad to come and greet you. ”

"Don't call Uncle Liu, we're just afraid of trouble in the crowd."

"The little guy and his entourage are behind, and we are impatient to grind with them on the road, so we came first."

When the two heard Yu Xin's greeting, they felt that their hearts were back in their stomachs. Only then did they feel their gaffe, and the two demons glanced at each other again, both shocked by what they had just felt.

Yu Xin listened to the answers of the two and couldn't help rolling her eyes. These two self-righteous people, fortunately, they have already arranged all of them, and besides, this is the countryside again, and I believe there will be no accidents.

"Everyone is quiet, now the ceremony begins, the first item, firecrackers"

A large string of red firecrackers disappeared in a puff of smoke, turning into red debris everywhere.

"The second item, the sacrifice begins."

I saw that my father had straightened his whole neat clothes, stepped forward slowly, took incense and candles on the respectful table, lit them, burned paper money, and sprinkled wine to the four directions to offer to the gods of the four directions. Finally, he kowtowed to all directions. Daddy got up and stepped aside.

"Next, hoe."

I saw the village chief, father, grandfather, and uncle in a circle, and each dug a hoe into the open space in the circle.

"Licheng, the reclamation has officially begun, and now I invite Liu Caogen, that is, your owner, to speak."

"Today is the day when my Liu grassroots family cleared the wasteland, and it is a day of great joy. I'm grateful to all of you for coming and helping me clear the land. Now we who come to work report to my son and nephew, and then we will divide into groups of ten, and you will choose your own leader. After saying this long speech, Liu Caogen relaxed, you must know that this is the first time he has spoken such a long sentence in front of so many people. Can he not be nervous. But the little girl said that he has to adapt to such a scene, and there will be many such things in the future, and he must live this by himself, and no one else can replace him.
