Chapter 4: Harvesting

Zhangjia has a lot of land, including dry land, paddy fields, rice, wheat and some miscellaneous grains. This year's harvest was good, especially the bumper wheat harvest. Mr. Zhang decided to start by cutting wheat, which was the most tiring work of all the harvests.

Dong Xiaoman changed into dark-colored clothes, wrapped a headscarf around his head, and tried his best to do a good job of sun protection. Because I hadn't done it before, I was too tired after a dozen cuts with a sickle.

At this time, the shoes are very thin, and they are very hard to step on the ground. I don't use the strength of my hands, and my arms are sore and I can't use them. The most uncomfortable thing is her waist, and she has to lift up and stretch a few times from time to time.

Everyone in the village Zhang Erlang married a stupid, and today he looks stupid. The woman who had that good thing also stepped forward to talk, and Dong Xiaoman responded kindly and kindly.

Now everyone is discussing, no one lacks virtue and says bad things, and people are not stupid at all.

"Erlang'er, you haven't done it at home before. It's not right to look at how hard you are exerting yourself, not using your arms but using your wrists. You see where you are cutting wheat, this is clearly the use of dragging. "It's Aunt Niu next door to Zhangjia's wheat field, this person is the most heart-warming person. Cheerful and pungent is very upright.,Plus the ability to do the work in the hands of no one in the village can speak in the village women's group.。

"Xie Lu, Aunt Xie Niu, I haven't done it before, I didn't expect it to be really easy!" Dong Xiaoman said while wiping his sweat. When I looked up, I saw that my family was far away, and I couldn't hear them clearly.

"The speed of Erlang's family is really delaying. No, you have to let the boss have lunch! Old Man Zhang frowned and looked at Er'er behind him, and sighed.

When the family returned home at noon, the Li family had already prepared a meal: eggplant stewed in sauce, sweet potato porridge, and thick dough.

"Boss, don't make steamed buns in the future. You see that your bread is so hard, I can't talk to your father-in-law. I can't bite it, and it's too hard to eat. Mrs. Zhang said unhappily while pulling the cake with her mouth.

"Hehe, I was thinking that my father-in-law loves to eat cakes, and I deliberately made a lot of noodles today." Li smiled dryly, in fact, she also wanted to save trouble, it was too troublesome to make steamed buns without making pancakes.

"Don't go to the old 2's house after eating, you should stay at home and cook in the future. Let's go to work, everybody! I saw that it was going to rain in three or four days, and if I couldn't finish it, it would be a year of hard work. If you want to learn to work in the fields, there will be opportunities in the future! As soon as Old Man Zhang said this, Li's heart felt much better. Originally, she was angry that the two of them stayed at home, but in fact, she was also worried that the food in the field would not be finished, and it would be money.

After eating, they took a nap and went to work in the fields. The instruments of the harvest are left in the field, and they are not afraid of being stolen.

Dong Xiaoman watched the two children naughtily and wanted to go to the river to enter the water, and in desperation, he pulled out the head rope from the room and tied it at two ends. Teach the two children to turn the rope and play, and the two children don't go to the river noisily when they have new toys, and they sit honestly in the yard and play.

Dong Xiaoman walked to his uncle's room and knocked on the door three times. After a while, the door was opened, and Zhang Chengjie was surprised and said Second sister-in-law? Do you have something to do without skipping words. I didn't expect the second sister-in-law to knock on the door, and I didn't want others to do that, either shouting at the door or pushing the door and coming in. Dad said that the second sister-in-law's mother once worked as a maid in a big family, it must be the rules taught by her mother.

"It's okay, I just want to ask your family's tastes." Dong Xiaoman said embarrassedly.

"Oh, my dad loves to eat cakes, but now his teeth are not very good; My mother loves porridge and eats vegetables every meal; The eldest brother and sister-in-law don't have any preferences, what do they eat; As for the second brother......" Zhang Chengjie paused, and looked at Dong Xiaoman with a wicked smile.

The second sister-in-law must have thought about what the second brother liked, so she was embarrassed to ask alone, so she came to ask the family's preferences.

Dong Xiaoman looked at Zhang Chengjie's expression, and this twelve or thirteen-year-old kid thought crookedly.

"Ahem, my second brother doesn't have anything to pick about, he loves meat. I love all kinds of meat, as long as there is meat. As for Yun'er and Bao'er, they both love to eat. Zhang Chengjie said with a smile.

"What about you? Uncle loves to eat? Dong Xiaoman looked at Zhang Chengjie gently.

"Me, I like light. But everyone in the family is serious, and the second sister-in-law's food is not easy to cook. Zhang Chengjie looked at Dong Xiaoman with a big ghost.

"Hehe, it's really hard to reconcile!" The routine of the croppers is to work for a while after dinner while the weather is cool and not dark.

Dong Xiaoman thought about it and decided to bring them food, although the field was not far from home, there was no need to run back and forth.

Dong Xiaoman first cleaned up the house inside and out, and the yard was swept clean, and there were no extra leaves. After cleaning up, I saw two children running to the food that said they were hungry. It was not early in the morning, and it was time to cook, and when I arrived in the kitchen, I was dizzy when I saw the big pot of noodles.

Cut a large handful of leeks from the vegetable garden, and the Zhang family raised a lot of chickens, so the eggs were naturally sufficient. After beating a large bowl of eggs, I made a filling with leeks, rolled out forty sheets of dough and began to wrap the leek box.

The rest of the noodles Dong Xiaoman added some water and made the noodles into a batter. Because there are no bean sprouts at home, I can only pluck a few carrots, wash some mushrooms, and make a pie filling.

After the pot is hot, start to spread the cake, scoop out the batter with a spoon, pour it into the pan, and make a clockwise circle with a spatula to form a round pancake. Wait until all the batter is spread out, set them aside to cool.

Pour in some oil, stir-fry the sliced leeks, mushrooms and shredded carrots, sprinkle with some fine salt.

After serving these, add some oil to the pot and start making leek boxes, the aroma of which wafts out of the yard from the kitchen. The two children couldn't help but stand at the door and ask for food for them.

"You two go to wash your hands first and then notify your uncle to start eating, do you sit at the table obediently and wait for the second aunt?" The temptation of food was terrifying, and the two children, who were usually like monkeys, immediately rushed towards Zhang Chengjie's room.

After baking ten leek boxes and rolling some leek, mushrooms, and carrots, he scooped some pickles out of the sauce jar and served them to the children.

The three children's meals were done, and while they were eating, Dong Xiaoman baked the rest of the leek boxes and quickly finished the burritos.

Take out the food box and put the leek box and the burrito pickles in it. Find a clean jar filled with water and take out five pairs of chopsticks. After the most love, he beckoned Yun'er and Bao'er and told them to go to the field to bring food to their grandfather.

The two little ones had never been to the field, and by this time they were already jumping up and down happily. After only one day's work, they fell in love with this fragrant and soft second aunt, and the most important thing is that the second aunt cooks so deliciously, it will break their little belly.

"Do you still want to eat something delicious?" A certain fox seduces evilly

"I want to~" The two little white rabbits said in unison.

"If you think about it, you have to be obedient for a while, can you help the second aunt with the dishes and chopsticks?"

"OK~"

"Well, that's good! Only good children will be rewarded, and if you behave well, the second aunt will cook more delicious food. ”

"Good~" For the sake of delicious food, we will be good children......

During this harvest period, in the evening, there will be a large and two small meals delivered in the village.

Dong Xiaoman carried the food box in his left hand and the jar in his right hand. Yun'er was holding five bowls, Bao'er was holding a pair of chopsticks, and the three of them walked towards the ground talking and laughing.

It wasn't until later that someone enthusiastically asked Erlang'er every day, and he came to deliver food again! ”

"Erlang'er, did you make something delicious today?"

"Erlang is really blessed to marry such a virtuous son."

And the person who was waiting to see the joke said to Mrs. Zhang sourly, your family is really blessed, you owe someone Lao Tzu a leg, and now the girl is serving the family every day, it is really a blessing not to cultivate. ”

More and more children are starting to follow suit, preparing meals and sending them to the fields for men to eat. But this is all for later, first of all, when Dong Xiaoman sent the rice to the field for the first time, the Zhang family was still very surprised.

"This is a pie?" Old man Zhang took a bite, well, no, soft and chewy with stuffing.

"Dad loves to eat cakes, and my mother loves to eat vegetables. I thought it would be better to roll the vegetables in the cake, so I made this burrito. This leek box is still very chewy, and the dough is crispy and sweet, which is very suitable for the mouth. It should be very suitable for the taste of the eldest brother, sister-in-law and Erlang. I also brought pickles, and there is water in this jar, so you can eat them first and tell me if they are delicious. Dong Xiaoman said modestly after introducing them one by one.

"How can there be anything that is not palatable? Brother and sister, your sister-in-law is really incomparable. It's the same bread, and the ones at noon are all teeth, and the ones at night are soft and crispy. Zhang Chengwen said with a sigh, the craftsmanship of his younger brother and sister is really good, it seems that he will be blessed in the future.

"I can't stop eating you, don't eat if I think my cooking is not delicious!" Li Shi was immediately unhappy when he heard this, forgetting that his in-laws were still in front of him and said without words.

"Boss, why are you with your man? What's up? Why are you still wronged by letting you cook? Mrs. Zhang said very unhappily, the boss was afraid that they would not care if the door was usually closed. Now that he is getting more and more embarrassed, he dares to say that men are not in front of him.

"Did the two dolls eat?" Old man Zhang exited the round and diverted the topic.

"After eating, the two little ones have eaten a lot. Hehe, Uncle has also eaten, don't worry. Dong Xiaoman pretended not to hear what he said just now, and watched the two children play as if he didn't have anything to do.

Three men and two women swept away thirty boxes of leeks and nearly twenty burritos. Dong Xiaoman was a little stunned, this amount of food is simply too much, too exaggerated.

"My brother and sister are fragrant when they cook, and they eat so much at once. I think if this continues, there won't be enough food for our family. "Li didn't expect to eat so many of them, and if these noodles were made into steamed buns, they would be able to eat at least two or three meals. If you eat it like this, the food at home will be consumed very quickly. When I thought of this scourge, I couldn't help but want to scold her.

", isn't it good to be able to eat? Don't we have enough food for you to eat? I think the old 2 no, if you look for it like this, everyone in the family can be fat! "Mrs. Zhang doesn't mind, eating more and less is her own family and not ruining, isn't it better to eat in the stomach. After thinking about it, his small and thin is about the same as a branch, and he will really have to let the old 2 cook in the future!
