It was almost noon, and my grandmother rushed into the kitchen with Fang Monan from the neighbor's house to 'busy' lunch, and my mother wanted to help but was chased out by my aunt and grandma.

Old Man Lin and his father were idle in his house, and the two of them played chess.

My aunt told my mother to say goodbye, and now the kitchen is the world of our mother and Nannan, and no one can get in. ”

"Oh, then let's go take out the fabric and make another dress for Nannan, I don't think one is enough." The mother was dragged into the house by the aunt with doubts. In winter, I have to make two more covers, a puff upside down gown, a plush pants, and the children's clothes are very simple, and the mother can do it well.

"Okay, there's still a little time until lunch, so let's cut it." The aunt nodded hurriedly.

In fact, Fang Monan is very simple about cooking now, with a space kitchen, and as soon as his mind is opened, a table of meals will be ready. The rest stayed in the kitchen with grandma and gossiped.

"Grandma wants to know where the kitchen is covered, don't jump words. Fang Monan was in the space, and it did not affect the conversation with his grandmother.

"Well, I've thought about it, so I'll build it in the aisle leading to the backyard in our north house, which happens to be big enough. There are more stoves, which can also benefit our north room and Old Man Lin's hall, so that it will not be frozen in winter. Even if you have to discuss the specifics, you have to discuss with your father, he is in the construction team, he should understand this. "This is a plan that grandma came up with after thinking about it in her heart." We have a fire kang in the house, don't be afraid. Now that winter is coming, if those two rooms are warmed up, it will be easier for you to study. ”

"Well, at lunchtime, I'm totaling it." Fang Monan also felt that this idea was not. "By the way, grandma asked my dad to tidy up the backyard, this is not the autumn harvest has passed, the weather is getting colder, let's plant some greenhouse vegetables."

"Greenhouse vegetables,?" Grandma asked suspiciously.

"Oh I mean grow some greenhouses, cucumbers, leeks, tomatoes, spinach, rape and so on. I haven't done this specifically, but it's quite simple, just add plastic film. The price is cheap, and the vacant land in our backyard doesn't cost a lot of money. ”

"That's right, build adobe walls on each of the four sides, about two or three feet high, and then build a shelf with a sturdy strip of sturdy strips...... Fang Menan came out of the space and drew an arc shape on the ground with a branch.

"Then cover it with plastic film. Although the temperature is low in winter, it does not rain often, the sun is abundant, the greenhouse can absorb the temperature of the sun, the temperature inside the greenhouse is higher than the outside, cucumbers, tomatoes, leeks, spinach, can grow...... In this way, you can almost eat it when it comes to the winter solstice. "In this day and age, in winter, except for cabbage, radishes, and potatoes, there are very few green leafy vegetables.

"Well, that sounds doable, they've had lunch and they've had a good sum up.......," Grandma's words weren't finished, when she heard shouts outside.

"Auntie, don't you skip words at home. Sun Youcheng stood in the courtyard and shouted.

The people in the house heard someone calling, and the aunt went out to take a look, "Brother Dacheng, you are here." "Mom, Brother Dacheng is here."

Grandma opened the kitchen door, looked at her and said "I, you go and greet them first, my meal will be ready immediately." ”

The door closed with a bang, and Grandma saw that there were no people in the kitchen, so she had to say to the air that someone from the house was coming and was cooking more food. ”

"Well, I hear you,." Fang Monan replied.

Old Man Lin and his father also came out of the house.

"Ah, you're all here, just go out with me, carry it." Sun Youcheng greeted them.

A few people went out of the courtyard and stood on the street, and they saw Sun Youcheng's younger brother, Youxin tying a mule cart, sitting on a stone, holding a large basket in his arms, covered with a towel. There is a large half bag of noodles next to it. There were also two live old hens tied up.

Sun Youcheng beckoned them to slip the lift on the mule cart in.

Fang Monan also cooked a meal here, originally she made chicken soup ramen, but when someone came, she made some rice and fried a few dishes, whoever wanted to eat it, ate it.

The men carried them into the house together, and the grandmother asked the mother and aunt to bring lunch, and the good dishes and chopsticks also followed into the house.

Sun Youcheng put down the ones in his hand, "These are all home-made, very fresh." ”

Grandma saw a large basket of eggs, at least twenty pounds smaller. "Da Chengzi, what are you doing with eggs? So much is not kept for the child's food, but it is used to exchange for the child's tuition."

Sun Youcheng smiled and said Auntie, no, many children in the family are almost tired of eating, we have sold a lot in the town, these are fresh. You don't, auntie, since you left......"

Grandma interrupted his tirade, "Eat first, and talk while eating." Everyone sat down together and listened to Sun Youcheng while eating.

After listening to Fang Monan, it turned out that the stone was quite trustworthy, catching earthworms and feeding the chickens every day, so the chickens not only grew fast, but the egg production was also rising. Sun Youcheng is a well-intentioned person, not only sold more slightly larger hens, mobilized the whole family, and dug earthworms all over the field. Of course, the results are significant, the weather is cold, the output of eggs is down, today is to go to the market to sell the last batch of eggs, and then come to see the aunt, thank you, it's too late.

Fang Monan patted the stone's head with relief, "Boy, very capable." ”

"Auntie, listen to the stone, you taught her the method." Sun Youcheng stood up and said.

"Well, I taught it, and I also listened to others, but I didn't expect it to happen." Grandma looked at Fang Monan, it must have happened when she was in the countryside, so I'll ask later

'Hey, this kid, didn't betray her. I guess I don't dare, if you want to ask the reason, the cause and effect will be revealed as soon as the cause and effect are explained. That's why it was pushed to grandma, you kid is smart. Fang Monan patted Shishi's shoulder and smiled very cutely.

But the feeling of the stone was cold, and he shrank back and continued to bury his head in hard work.

After eating a meal, Sun Youcheng also had an understanding of his aunt's life in the past few months, which was also shown from the dinner table of his aunt's house. When he heard that they were going to build a kitchen, he volunteered to stay and help, and in the village, people who built houses would ask him to do some mason work. Then let the younger brother go home, and the mule cart stayed, and in case something happened, he could also be humped.

When Shi first started, he could be said to have been forced to study by Fang Monan, and gradually realized the benefits brought by the increase in grades, at least his parents were happier and less beaten. When he was chatting with the women in the village, his face was simply smiling. Looking at his stinky fart, he felt that he had to learn well and make his family smile more, and he really loved to learn.

Taking advantage of the autumn vacation, he also wanted to thank Fang Monan, so he stayed.

After eating, the men discussed building the kitchen, and the grandmother explained the guidance and the things in the backyard together, and left to see how the noodles were doing. It's getting dark early, so it's better to steam early.

Fang Monan held a rolling pin in his hand and surrounded his grandmother and mother, "Use this, two people press the dough." She pointed to the noodles on the board, and the two of them worked together, pressing and stacking the dough, and the effect was as good as the dough kneaded by hand. Then knead into long strips and cut into cubes with a knife to save effort. ”

Mom thought about it, took the rolling pin, looked at grandma and said Let's try it. ”

With the help of tools, it really saves time and effort, and soon four pots of steamed buns are out of the pot, more than 100, hot and soft.

Put the steamed buns in a large dustpan and cover it with a quilt made of new flowers to keep warm. The two of them moved to the small cart, and then the grandmother took the clothes.

"Mom, I'm going today, you can take a rest." My mother snatched the light pink clothes and put them on herself. "Mom, this dress." She pointed to the picture on her chest, which was very festive, but it should be better for children to wear it, and it was not suitable for this adult.

"It's good, this painting was painted by your daughter, and others can't ask for it." Grandma looked at the old mother in a big apron with a smile. "It's useful when you put it on." She patted her head, "By the way, remind the people who come to the steamed buns that our stall will be placed at the door of Lao Motou's house the day after tomorrow, this is the most important, don't forget." She carefully admonished.

When my mother heard that it was painted by Fang Monan, it was incredible, she had only not seen her child for three months, and the change was so big. It's too late to think about it, put it on, push the cart away, and of course it's more pride and pride.

Half an hour later, my mother happily pushed the cart, and it turned out that the person painted on the apron was really special. "Mom, I went to sell steamed buns, they only recognized the paintings on my body, and they didn't see the clothes I was wearing. But there are also people who recognize me as your daughter. ”

"Huh...... Now, it's going to be so soon, there must be a lot of people," Grandma guessed.

"Well, there are a lot of people who haven't bought it, and they still turn back three times when they go." Mom nodded, she just heard that she didn't pay much attention to it yesterday, but today it has changed a lot. I didn't expect that there would be such a big profit in this small stall, so she handed over the money to her grandmother.

*****************************

When my grandmother was busy steaming steamed buns and selling steamed buns, my father, my mother, and my aunt took pickaxes and iron tongs in the place where my grandmother said, and began to measure, pull threads, and dig foundations. Old Man Lin and Da Chengzi drove the mule cart to buy cement, stones, and sand. There are ready-made ones behind the red bricks, and it is not enough to build two main houses, but it is just right to build a kitchen, and the beams are also ready-made.

The old mother pulled the aunt's arm and asked in a low voice, let's build the kitchen, obviously there is not enough manpower, do you need to invite the eldest brother. ”

"I said, sister, don't mention this, you haven't been here twice, he won't let our mother dislike him and embarrass him." Xiao Yan looked disgusted. "Ahh

Mom was curious, how did my mother figure it out this time. She looked at her aunt suspiciously, as long as the boss said it, her mother would definitely agree.

The aunt posed to count the money, "This is very charming." Then he said that I went to school, and if I went to university, it would be more stressful. That's why our mom went on. She didn't expect her mother to continue, it seems that her mother is finally on her side this time, and she still hurts her in her heart, thinking of this aunt is beautiful in her heart.

"By the way, sister, I see that you are quite active, and you don't object at all." Auntie asked suspiciously.

"It's not that I'm not no, it's better for our mother to find a job, and she won't be idle every day and have nothing to do, crying when she looks at our dad's photos, thinking nonsense." My mother said, "This will also reduce our burden, and I have no reason to refuse." "What Mom said is very realistic, but it is also true." For the sake of our mother, you have to study hard. ”

"Don't worry, I will fight hard in order to fight for breath." Auntie said with a wave of her fist.

"You two don't mumble around and get to work." Dad shouted.

"Hey, here it is." Mom and aunt responded.

Fang Monan was dragged to the backyard by a stone, and of course Mobei had to follow and prevent her from mixing the adults to work. Fang Monan looked at the twisted stone, "If you have something to say, let's say it"

He hung his head and quickly looked up at her, "I'm sorry, and thank you." ”

"Oh, I'm sorry for me, thank you" Fang Monan said badly, if he wants to apologize, he will say it quickly, like a big girl, it is not refreshing at all.

"I'm sorry, I bullied you in my house, thank you for the fact that the earth dragon fed the chickens." Shi looked at her with a smile, took a deep breath, and said very simply.

"I'm leaving, how is your homework?" Fang Monan smiled so cutely.

"My homework is improving by leaps and bounds, and the teacher praises me and says that I am improving very quickly." Stone said happily with his chest puffed out.

"Oh, that's good, it's at my house these days, just study with us," Fang Monan said kindly.

In the eyes of the stone, Little Red Riding Hood fell into Grandma Wolf's house, and her back was cold, and she shivered, "Okay." ”

The men were busy building the kitchen, and later joined the neighbors to help, taking care of a meal at noon, and grandma bought a lot of pork for this purpose, and everyone had the strength. Grandma and Mom were busy steaming steamed buns, and Auntie was busy going to school. Old Man Lin took Fang Monan, Mobei, and Shi to read and study in the house. During the construction of the kitchen, my uncle never came to my grandmother's house to see it.

The kitchen worked overtime at night, and finally it was almost usable in two days. The kitchen is rectangular, more than one person high, with two large stoves in the style of the countryside side by side, and the outside of the stove is covered with white bricks, which is shiny and shiny, and looks clean and tidy. Because the area is not large, it does not cost a few dollars, and it is easy to clean with face tiles.

Coal cubes are burned in the stove, the heat is high, and it steam quickly. Next to the fire, two large water tanks were repaired to the inside, as a pool, it was much more convenient to use hot water, if it was hot here in winter, Fang Monan would not be cold if he wanted to take a bath here.

Dad tried to find a way to make the heat from the chimney not wasted, and also got 'heating' for Mr. Lin's room, and the vegetables in the backyard were also put on shelves and covered with plastic film.

Sun Youcheng saw the vegetable greenhouse behind them, and he was also itching in his heart, and after asking, he calculated the account in his hand, and was a little hesitant. Fang Monan asked his grandmother to come forward and tell them a way that didn't cost money. Just after the autumn harvest, I took some whole corn stalks from the field, put them on a shelf, and carried them down when the day was warm, and covered them when the night was cold. In this way, you can eat fresh vegetables even in winter. He nodded his head again and again, and he tried to fiddle with it.

Three days is very fast, it is simply a blow to the stone, I thought that this time I could raise my eyebrows in front of Fang Monan, but I didn't expect the result, I could only let Old Man Lin and Auntie Lin tear a tear of sympathy for the stone. Compared to these non-human people in their family, it is simply looking for death.

When the stone was about to say goodbye, the other party Murnan challenged him to win her next time.

Fang Monan encouraged him to study hard, and I am waiting for you to defeat me. After saying that, he still tilted his chin up and looked like he couldn't be beaten, which really made the stone hate itchy.

"Hmph...... You wait. Shi said with full of fighting spirit.

"Good. Very scrappy. Old man Lin patted his head happily, he liked this stupid and somewhat tough simple little guy very much.

When they came, the mule cart was loaded with agricultural products, and Grandma was very willing, carrying a bag of rice and a basket of apples and dried fruits in the space. Fang Monan made a small part of the fruit in the space into preserved fruits, fruits that were too fresh, and pierced the eyes. And these preserved fruits are said to be bought by my mother from the city. In addition, the trees in the yard are also full of jujubes, pomegranates, and fabrics. Watching them disappear into the street, everyone is gone.
