14. Autumn harvest

Dinner is potato stewed chicken, the meat is not eaten, there is not much meat, just such a big chicken, the family is still mostly men, just their mother is a woman, Geng Mei as a sister-in-law, eat two pieces by herself and do not move chopsticks, save it for the little uncles who are growing their bodies.

She wanted to feed her daughter chicken soup to drink, but how could Yuxi let her feed it, "Mom, I'll eat it myself." ”

Eat slowly with a small spoon by herself, so that Geng Mei doesn't have to eat while taking care of herself.

After eating, everyone unanimously praised the good craftsmanship of Bai Ziqi, the old man of the Bai family, and the taste of the chicken was so delicious.

"Geng Mei, learn from my dad in the future, my dad may not be able to catch up with this skill even if he is a senior chef."

Old Man Bai hugged his little grandson and smiled at his son's praise, "Your father and I have been cooking for so many years, this level is still there, otherwise how can you grow so strong, to put it bluntly, it is still my credit." ”

Don't say this, the old man is really not boasting, the sons have known since they can remember that their father is the one who cooks at home, and they haven't seen the old lady cook.

Soon it was autumn, and Bai Wenyi had finished his training and became a teacher at a middle school near them. The people at home are busy with the autumn harvest, fortunately, the autumn harvest here in the corps is machinery, which can save a lot of manpower, but the use of machinery in the regiment also has to pay, the money is not a lot but at least not so tired, so much land, just rely on manual labor is definitely not enough.

Geng Mei and the others all went to the field to pick up ears of wheat, and the brother and sister let her play in the field, as did the other people, so there were a lot of children playing together on the ground, but they didn't have to worry about their safety, after all, such a big place was all their employees and family members, even if there were people who came to abduct and sell children, it is estimated that it is impossible to come to such a remote place, and besides, abducting children from such an open place, the traffickers are either looking for death or idle to come to find a fight.

Bai Haoran put Yuxi next to the wheat straw, "Sister, you sit here obediently and watch my brother play with others." ”

The little guy was probably in a hurry to find a child to play, so he tricked Yuxi into sitting obediently on the ground.

To the little guy's words, Yuxi gave him a big smile, "Well, you go play, I'll play by myself." ”

Autumn in northern Xinjiang is the most beautiful, I'm afraid the scenery she has seen in her previous life is not as good as autumn in northern Xinjiang.

In the distance, the leaves of the birch and poplar trees have turned golden, and it is as if you are living in a fairy tale, which makes you feel unreal.

"Sister, come, you eat this."

Bai Haoran carried a string of reddish-brown dates in his small hand, which was not too big, "Brother, what kind of dates are these, and where did they come from?" ”

Bai Haoran pointed to the Gobi in the distance with his little finger, "The sand dates they picked from over there, you eat them, it's sweet." ”

Yuxi only took two, and let the little guy eat the rest by himself, took one and stuffed it into his mouth, it tasted good, slightly sweet, but the unique aroma of the dates was still a little special, holding the dates and gnawing slowly, a little aftertaste.

There are very few snacks for children around here, so dates are the best snacks in the eyes of children.

"Boss Bai, look at your daughter."

The person picking up ears of wheat in the distance accidentally saw the scene of Yuxi tasting sand dates, the little girl closed her eyes, and her face was full of aftertaste, no matter how she looked at it, she felt funny.

Bai Wenli has long been accustomed to this, but he still smiled happily when he saw his daughter's small appearance, "That's, my girl is obedient, you see that she sits so honestly and doesn't go anywhere, it's just reassuring, I don't want those naughty boys, there is no moment of quiet." ”

Zhou Shengli looked at Bai Wenli with some surprise, "Boss Bai, this is not like you before, when did you become so fond of children?" ”

Bai Wenli's violent temper is a well-known lord in the tunzi, and even the little doll at home he beats it, and he has never seen such an expression today.

Bai Wenli looked at the other party funny, "Brother Zhou, that's my daughter, the little girl is obedient, I haven't seen such a sensible and obedient child, do you think I don't hurt?" ”

Zhou Shengli shook his head funny, "Boss Bai, it seems that you have changed your sex, you should be like this, children will inevitably be naughty, you still expect your son to be obedient like a girl, maybe you will develop a girl's character in the future, it is better to be naughty and mischievous here, otherwise it will be easy to be bullied in the future." ”

Bai Wenli also agreed with Zhou Shengli's words, "Yes, don't you see that I don't beat my son now, just be naughty." ”

He didn't say that he didn't beat the child because he swore an oath to the old lady, even if he wanted to, he couldn't beat him, who let him keep his promise, or swear to his own mother.

After finishing the work in the field, the people in the tunzi organized to ride the wagon and ox cart to other companies to help pick cotton, of course, it will not be for nothing, and they have to earn wages, so that the family's pocket money will come out.

In Yuxi's view, as long as you are not a lazy person, there is no problem with eating a full stomach, which is much better than the mainland, in the early 80s, many places in the mainland did not say that they ate steamed buns, and even the stomach was a problem, but they were different, eating steamed buns every day was still quite happy from this point alone, how to say that white noodles are also fine grains. However, there is a big problem on their side, that is, there is no problem with being full, but they don't have much money in their hands, and the non-staple food is not as good as the conditions in the mainland, and the comparison between the two sides has its own advantages and disadvantages.

After the second child of the Bai family became a teacher in middle school, he was considered an intellectual and cultural person in the near and near, and he was also very good at adding people, so some people began to target this handsome young man. There are more people who come to the door to be matchmakers.

Geng Mei is sister-in-law naturally has to help her brother-in-law Zhang Luo in this matter, and after Geng Mei's heavy screening, the rest depends on how the brother-in-law decides.

Today is the day when the last girl to appear on the stage, the brother and sister are standing in the yard in thick cotton jackets to play, in fact, Yuxi just wants to see in advance how this girl looks today, the previous ones are not worthy of her second uncle, and Bai Wenyi is not in love, so she pinned her hopes on today.

She hopes that some literary and artistic young uncles can find their own happiness, in her mind, compared with other uncles, only Bai Wenyi is very kind to her, and the rest of the people don't know if Lu Dao still remembers the rumors or what's going on, and he has always been unaffectionate with her niece.
