Chapter 29: It's Useless to Talk
It wasn't until midnight (two o'clock in the afternoon) that the five people, who had been busy for most of the day, finally planted all the rapeseed brought by Aunt Guo into the soil.
After finishing the work, Aunt Guo will take her son and daughter back to her home.
In fact, as early as an hour ago, Meng Hao had already taken out snacks and asked them to pad their stomachs, but Aunt Guo's three mouths were closed like mussel shells, and Meng Hao took out a bag of trough cakes and a bag of mung bean cakes, only little Meng Qi couldn't bear the hunger and ate a few pieces.
Meng Zhen was moved and helpless, seeing that the work was almost finished, the little girl didn't have to force Aunt Guo to eat snacks.
But now, Meng Zhen is not ready to let them go back to their homes hungry anymore.
Taking advantage of the time when Aunt Guo's mother and son were washing their hands one by one, Meng Zhen directly took a big lock and locked the door of her yard.
Hearing the sound of her locking the door, Aunt Guo's mother and son were all dumbfounded.
They probably didn't expect that Meng Hao, a girl with an extraordinary background at the sight, would actually come to cut first and then play this trick.
Meng Hao clapped her hands with satisfaction, "Auntie, Brother Guo, and Sister Xing'er will stay at my house for dinner today." ”
Aunt Guo: ......
She wanted to say "no", but would it work?
The doors are locked, can she, Guo Yang, and Guo Xinger climb the wall and go out?
With the high stone courtyard wall of the Meng family, she can't climb it, can she?
Meng Hao wanted this effect, she beckoned to Su Shen, "Ah Shen, you help me entertain guests, I'll go make a fire and cook now." ”
Su Shen bowed slightly, took a large copper kettle and went to boil water.
Aunt Guo took a look, yes, she still shouldn't be polite to this girl, she can't leave anyway, so she should be diligent and help with the work.
So, Aunt Guo and Guo Xing'er also followed Meng Zhen into the stove room.
Meng Zhen smiled with satisfaction, took the vegetables sent by the Guo family yesterday and handed them to Aunt Guo and Guo Xing'er, and asked them to help them choose and wash the vegetables.
With the help of the two women, she quickly made a large plate of braised pork, a large plate of scrambled eggs, a small pot of cabbage vermicelli stewed tofu, a small pot of chili stewed eggplant, a small pot of cold Chinese cabbage, and a small pot of cold cucumber.
The staple food is the white gnocchi soup she makes, which comes out of the pot quickly and is full in large quantities.
Aunt Guo stopped her several times when she was cutting meat, beating eggs, taking tofu, and scooping white noodles, but Meng Zhen smiled and diverted the conversation every time.
Aunt Guo was sweating all over her body in distress - of course, there was also a reason for the hot weather inside, but Guo Xing'er was greedy and kept secretly swallowing saliva.
The little girl is very sensible, although the things made by Meng Hao are very delicious, but Guo Xinger always hangs her head, helps to choose vegetables and wash vegetables, burns firewood and adds firewood, and her eyes are not aimed at the food.
Meng Hao has a strange temper, the more others are jealous of her things and want to calculate her things, the more stingy she hates, the more honest and honest others are, the more they don't have any heart, and they know how to measure etiquette, the more she wants to make up for it openly and secretly.
Because of this, Aunt Guo's family happened to vote for her temper.
The more enthusiastic this family is to help each other and work hard to reciprocate, the more Meng Hao wants to supplement them a little more.
When the meal was served, Meng Zhen first served three bowls of pimple soup to Aunt Guo's mother and son, and then served a small bowl to Xiao Meng Qi, who was already hungry.
Su Shen had already washed his hands at this time and walked to Meng Hao's side, and Meng Zhen hurriedly served him another bowl.
"Huh? Who bolted the door. Meng Zhen was about to take her share, but Yan Zhenwu's loud voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"It's the master, they're back!" As she spoke, Meng Hao strode out of the courtyard.
She opened the courtyard door, and then saw Yan Zhenwu walking in with a roe deer and a half-sized wild boar.
Hao Mengyun, who followed behind him, carried two baskets in his hand, and the baskets were full of pheasants and hares.
"So much!" Meng Hao exclaimed, "Did you two go into the mountains?" ”
Hao Mengyun walked in with a smile, "Oh, it's not like there's nothing good nearby." ”
Meng Hao looked helpless, "Okay, anyway, you are all better than me, and I can't stop you if you want to go." ”
She wasn't afraid that Yan Zhenwu and Hao Mengyun would encounter big beasts such as wolves and tigers, but that there were still bandits in the mountains who had not been exterminated.
Compared to wild beasts, the most terrible thing in the world is always the living.
Hao Mengyun greeted Aunt Guo's mother and son, and washed her hands with the well water brought by Su Shen.
Yan Zhenwu put the wild things he brought back to the shady place outside the stove room for the first time, "Wait a while, Ah Shen and Zhen Zhen will accompany me to the town." ”
Meng Hao nodded, she knew that Yan Zhenwu wanted to sell most of the prey to the restaurant.
Aunt Guo, mother and son, who had a restrained face, had already put down the chopsticks in their hands when Meng Hao went over to open the door, and they were hesitating whether to go back to their own house at this time.
- If Yan Zhenwu and the others came back ten seconds earlier, Aunt Guo and they would definitely go home directly, but now they have already moved their chopsticks and run away in the middle of the meal, no matter how they think about it, this matter is strange enough, and those who don't know will think that they are dissatisfied with Yan Zhenwu and Hao Mengyun.
But if you don't leave, this lady is worried that there won't be enough food to eat...
Fortunately, Meng Hao quickly resolved the embarrassment of their mother and wife invisibly.
The little girl took out a pheasant and a hare from the basket where the dead prey was placed, and said, "I'll make another fried chicken nugget and a spicy rabbit." ”
Hao Mengyun's eyes lit up, "Bring me another chicken noodle soup." ”
Yan Zhenwu also ordered, "Then I'll cut another piece of roe deer meat, and Zhen Zhen, you can make us a braised roe deer meat." ”
Meng Hao nodded, "Okay, then Uncle Yan, you can help me deal with pheasants and hares, and I'll go and meet now." ”
"Okay." Yan Zhenwu agreed and took the hare and began to peel it, while Su Shen silently helped Meng Zhen boil water to scald the chicken feathers.
"Master, you eat something first, help me entertain the guests." Meng Hao said that she was about to go into the stove room, but before her words fell, Hao Mengyun had already sat next to Xiao Meng Qi very consciously.
Pressing Xiao Meng Qi, who was trying to rub under the kang, back into his original position, Hao Mengyun smiled and greeted Aunt Guo, mother and son, "Sister-in-law, sit down, Ah Yang and Xing'er also sit." ”
Even if Hao Mengyun deliberately dressed herself up ugly, Aunt Guo still couldn't control the pressure when facing her, she said "hey", and then pulled Guo Yang and Guo Xing'er to sit down together.
Hao Mengyun warmly beckoned them to eat and eat, "Don't sit still, let's eat first, don't wait for them." ”
Aunt Guo, what's so embarrassing? She is not Hao Mengyun, who has never done housework.
As a standard peasant woman, Aunt Guo has always eaten last and done first.
If it weren't for the food Meng Hao was going to do now, she hadn't heard of it, and she wouldn't have peeled the rabbit skin at all, and the only errand she knew how to boil water and scald chicken feathers was preempted by Ah Shen, and she would have run to the stove room to help Meng Hao by now.
