Although the He family wants the whole family to help Li Dahe, they can't really leave no one behind, after all, there are still more than a dozen mouths waiting to eat at home, and Yang Liu, who has no "combat effectiveness", is naturally left at home to fill those mouths. Tidying up the yard of the house, feeding the pigs and chickens, and spreading the wheat to dry, the work is not heavy, but it is many and tedious. Even a few children went to Li Dahe's house together, except for the occasional sound of wings, the whole Li family was very quiet, and the willows had a rare period of leisure. Clean up the yard of the house, clean the chicken pen, and rinse off the pig manure with water, as the amount of water in the tank decreases, the air in the whole yard is also fresh.

Yang Liu took a deep breath, looked at the fruits of his labor with satisfaction, nodded, clean, this is like a home. Raised his hand to wipe his sweat, put on a straw hat and carried an iron-toothed rake to spread out the ears of wheat. It is already a little hot to step on the stone-paved drying field with bare feet, and it is uncomfortable for people to step on the soles of their feet, but the temperature is just right for drying ears of wheat. Yang Liu uncovered the meadow on top of the pile of wheat ears, and held it under the wooden handle to prepare to spread out the ears of wheat that had been gathered into piles.

Someone laughed in his ear.

"Li Cong's daughter-in-law, won't you?" The person who asked was Liu, who was gossiping with He's, and asked bluntly, but the tone didn't sound annoying.

Yang Liu sneered: "It's not as simple as you think. ”

"That's nature, how can there be any simple things in the world?" As he spoke, he took the initiative to come over and help Yang Liu spread the wheat ears first.

"Auntie, no, no." Yang Liu shook his head again and again, not wanting to delay other people's efforts: "I can." ”

"That's a lot of delay, the little lady has a tender face. You can't get a tan. Liu's mouth teased, and his hand movements were not slow. As if by juggling, the tall ears of wheat grow short in the blink of an eye. Ears of wheat soon filled the clearing. The whole action is smooth, worthy of being an expert, Yang Liu admired in his heart, and also took the rake in his hand to help flatten the raised wheat pile.

Liu grabbed a handful of ears of wheat and rubbed them in his hands, raised his head and said: "Your wheat can almost be crushed, and I am afraid that it will be crushed in two days, have you borrowed the cow?" ”

"I guess I'll borrow it." Yang Liu was not sure, she had been idle at home for the past two days and no one had told her about the situation in the field. But when I think of the crops that He has planted for so many years, it is not that temporary. For those who didn't succeed, small things such as borrowing cattle should have greeted people in advance, so he added, "It's borrowed, and I'll grind it the day after tomorrow at the latest." ”

Although he doubted the inauthenticity of Yang Liu's words before and after, Liu only regarded Yang Liu's good face and wanted to make up for the mistake of the previous sentence, after all, the previous sentence sounded too indifferent to family affairs. It's not a shame for young people to have a good face, and it won't hinder others anyway. Liu still likes willow. When she occasionally passed by the Li family's yard, she also watched her tidying up. smiled and chatted with Yang Liu about the trivial things in the tunzi, whose mother-in-law and daughter-in-law competed, whose baby stole eggs, and then went to work for his own family. After all, farming is not more busy than usual, and there is not much time to spare and scratch your teeth.

Yang Liu thanked him and did the final leveling work. After spreading out all the ears of wheat, the willow stood in the shade of a tree in the corner of the drying field. Holding the wooden handle of the iron-toothed rake in one hand, he bent down and took off his shoes with the other hand and trembled. Shake off the grains of wheat that jumped into your shoes and put them back on and go home. Taking advantage of the fact that the sun is not too big, I go to fetch water, swaying from side to side, often picking up the water in the barrel after picking it home, and it takes several times to fill the water tank under the corridor. Putting down the flat burden, Yang Liu sat on the bench and gasped. Suddenly, I felt that the heat was all gathered together, my face was flushed, and the sweat was falling directly from my hair, so I had to stand up again. Yang Liu fanned the wind with his hands, while walking slowly in the shade, anxious, not yet dog days when it was really hot to be so sad, what can be done in the future, is it possible that there is a greenhouse effect in ancient times? Yang Liu is a person who is afraid of cold and heat, even if he changes his body, he is especially afraid in his heart. She simply closed the door and hid in the space, but she didn't feel cool, and Yang Liu waited for it to cool down before moving around. The space is still the same, nothing more, nothing less, but the water in the small pond dug by Yang Liu for bathing is already clear, even if there is a clod of soil in it, there is no turbidity, which makes Yang Liu secretly excited, after all, the big matter of bathing is solved.

After taking a bath and washing her hair, she changed into clean clothes, her hair was half dry, and Yang Liu casually curled her hair out of the space, went to the vegetable garden by the stream, and walked a few rows of vegetable fields from beginning to end, and only then did she have a small handful of tender vegetable leaves in her hand.

Is it really too picky?

Originally planned to make some pasta to deal with the past, looking at the locked cupboard in the stove room, Yang Liu pouted, how could she forget this stubble.

Glancing at all the edible items in the stove, Yang Liu quickly came up with an idea. Boil the rice half-cooked, scoop it to a dustpan covered with a layer of gauze to control the dry water, brush the pot and dig a little oil into it, wait for the oil to melt, smoke, sprinkle the green onions, ginger and garlic and stir-fry and then put in the potato pieces, in order to make the rice also salty, put more salt, and then put the salt taste evenly, the potato pieces are gathered at the bottom of the pot, and then the rice filtered out of the rice soup is thinly spread a layer to cover the potato pieces, scoop a small scoop of water down the edge of the pot, cover the pot, withdraw the large piece of firewood in the stove and suffocate it in the firewood ash, and use tongs to gather the sparks at the bottom of my pot in the raised position, The rice cooked in this way is delicious and does not cost firewood.

After repeatedly confirming that there was no potential safety hazard, when the rice was cooked, Yang Liu locked the door and went to turn over the ears of wheat again, so that the ears of wheat close to the ground were turned over to the skin and basked in the sun. At this time, a heavy smell of burning wheat straw wafted into the nostrils, and Yang Liu also worriedly thought about whether the family had taken protective measures, after all, the weather was hot at this time, it belonged to the updraft, and coupled with a gust of wind from time to time, it was easy to cause a fire if you were not careful. If you think about it further, it is strange that even if you burn wheat straw, it is a time when there is no wind in the morning and evening, and the old crop should not make such a low-level mistake. I can't figure it out, the willow is not entangled, it is time to go home after turning the ears of wheat, and the rice should be stewed.

Drink soup before meals, noodles are healthy. After drinking a bowl of rice soup, Yang Liu lifted the lid of the pot and mixed the rice and potatoes to taste salt. As soon as he put a piece of potato with a slightly burnt surface in his mouth, he remembered the sound of Wen's shouting iron pillar, and then the sound of the courtyard door being pushed open also came to Yang Liu's ears. She put down the bowl and hurried out to look.

"Yang Liu, do you see the iron pillar?"

"No, I haven't seen him come back." Yang Liu asked, "What's wrong, didn't you play with the grandson of the second uncle's family?" ”

"Who knows where this stinky boy has gone? It's time to eat, but he doesn't see anyone. Wen complained in his mouth, angry, and it was important to find the child at the moment. He didn't continue to go inside, waving his hand, "It's okay, I'll look for him again, if he comes back, you will detain him at home, don't let him run around." ”

"I'll go too." Yang Liu entered the stove room and covered the bowl of rice he had just eaten with a basket, locked the door and walked out, choosing a different direction from Wen's to find the iron pillar.

The dog who had just screamed out of fear instantly woke up, and covered his mouth with some fear, what did he see just now? Blood, human blood, what a puddle of human blood. After leaving the good rice shop. He went to sit at the house of his classmates in the town for a while, tasted a few snacks, and after a while of talking about Confucius, he returned. Even if you don't want to get along with your own father, you can't stay at someone else's house and not say goodbye when it's time for dinner. Walking as if I was afraid of stepping on the ants to death, I counted my steps, and after a long detour, I was still getting closer and closer to the rice store. The horse's hooves struck the ground quickly, and he looked up to see such a horrible scene, before the crowd surrounded him, the dog only saw a motionless man on the ground and a large pool of blood, was the man still alive? Looking at the bamboo baskets scattered on the ground, Goudan couldn't help but think of Li Qiang, the third uncle who came to the town with him this morning, could it be him? No, it shouldn't be. The dog denies it in his heart, but he still can't resist the curiosity in his heart, afraid of seeing a dead man but wants to know what a dead man looks like. So he bent his waist and squeezed to the front of the crowd with his round body, trying to see the man's appearance.

Jing Hao jumped down from the carriage, and he couldn't help but panic in his heart. It is not that no one has ever died in his hands, but they are all wicked people who are extremely vicious or have evil intentions towards him. He is not a good man, but he will not kill an innocent person casually. And now, there is an innocent man who was injured because he was on his horse for a while, and he will not die, will this be the first compatriot he killed by mistake because of a joke before he actually went to war? Jing Hao's steps were not chaotic, his expression was also very solemn, but his breathing became short, and the slightly clenched fist under the sleeve tube betrayed his mood at the moment.

Dongfang Bai also followed Jing Hao out of the carriage, there was no trace of joke on his face, and he was very colorful. Even if he doesn't have a father who has been on the battlefield, he and Jing Hao are both the same kind of people in their bones, so he can better understand the torment and struggle in Jing Hao's heart at this moment. If he really harmed someone this time, Jing Hao would not be steady.

Jing Hao squatted down, his right index finger and middle finger were put together on the main cervical artery of the person on the ground, Dongfang Bai didn't dare to come out, bent down and asked cautiously, "How is it?" ”

His voice was a little hoarse, and it turned out that he was also afraid.

Jing Hao spit out two words: "Alive." ”

is just two simple words, but the hearts of the two of them that have been hung to their throats and eyes fall back to their original places.

Jing Hao let out a sigh and picked up the unconscious man on the ground, while Dongfang Bai separated the crowd and took the initiative to lead the way to the medical hall.

The moment Jing Hao picked up the man, the angle changed, and the dog finally saw the man's appearance clearly, and suddenly a somewhat sharp childish voice sounded again: "Third uncle!" (To be continued......)
