Chapter 258: Two bowls of rice paste

In the end, these old and weak people can only go to the field every day to cut a little, slowly drag it back, and threshing the millet by hand at home, and this is still based on the fact that they can move.

If you can't move, you can't even go down to the field.

But even so, how much can you get by that?

But they have no choice but to collect a little bit in this way, and the rest is left to fate, hoping that the harvest of other families will end as soon as possible and they can help their own family.

After the harvest season, the millet will drop grains and broken ears, not to mention the heavy loss of sprinkling, and the moisture of the millet is insufficient, which affects the quality and yield of rice grain.

Originally, the life of the family was not good because of the lack of labor, all relying on those few acres of land, and now the grain harvest is failing, how will I live in the future.

The aunt of the Liu family said while pulling her away, and shouted loudly to the houses on both sides of the road, "Fifth Aunt, Aunt Erfen, Lixin Auntie, Uncle Liyan, Uncle Hongshan, Third Brother and Sister, Guke is here, come out quickly." ”

One after another, several old men and women came out.

"Here we are."

"Right away."

"Just come."

"Where's the Guke?"

"God forbid, God forbid."

Most of these individuals were called by name in their own houses, and then came out shortly after.

Those who came out were all old people, and some were even on crutches.

When these old ladies and old men came out to greet Gu Ke with excitement, most of them were stunned when they saw that there was only one woman by the Liu family's daughter-in-law.

This woman was carrying a weapon, and she was not dressed like a Gu guest at all, but more like a distinguished guest, and everyone subconsciously didn't think she was the person referred to by the daughter-in-law of the Liu family, and they all thought that there was someone else.

"Daughter-in-law of the Liu family, where is the Guke you are talking about?"

The old man on crutches asked her anxiously.

I saw the daughter-in-law of the Liu family pointing to Xue Langjing beside her and said, "Uncle Hongshan, it's this baby, don't look at her as a girl's family, look at the weapons she is carrying, this is a female hunter, or a spirit enlightener, she has a great ability." ”

Enlightener?

Another old woman asked, "Is this the same female hunter as Sanya of the Shimingshan family in the next village?" ”

"That's right, that's right, it's like her, it's amazing", the daughter-in-law of the Liu family nodded hurriedly.

"But, such a powerful character, can he really be a valley guest?" Another old lady couldn't help but wonder.

The daughter-in-law of the Liu family immediately told everyone Xue Langjing's words.

I heard that this person could harvest two acres of grain in three days, and everyone looked at her differently.

If she is hired, the grain in his field will be guaranteed.

But the question is, she only has one person, who can she help first?

You must know that the five of them together have dozens of acres of grain.

And the daughter-in-law of the Liu family has a better relationship with the uncle and concubine, and she will definitely pull people to her side first.

Thinking of this, several old men and ladies soon gathered around Xue Langjing, shouting for her to help her own harvest grain first, and each promised to collect one acre of land for sixty-five yuan.

Xue Langjing, who was surrounded in the middle, was in a dilemma, this work was coming, but she was too fierce all of a sudden, and she lacked skills!

Who should I choose first?

Xue Langjing hesitated.

And the daughter-in-law of the Liu family is also as everyone thinks, after being enthusiastic, the first thing that comes to mind is her uncle and concubine.

If she knew this, she shouldn't have called everyone out all the way, she should have brought people to the concubine's house first.

People are like this, no matter how enthusiastic they are, there will be a difference between relatives and distances.

Just when everyone was thinking about how to pull people to their homes, they listened to Xue Langjing's persuasion, "Grandparents, please listen to me, I'm just alone, I have to come one by one, right?" ”

"Then what does the little girl want to take?"

"Yes, yes!"

"Take my house first."

。。。

Several people were anxiously pulling people.

"Well, I haven't eaten lunch yet, who is closer and can provide me with lunch, and when I'm done eating, I'll take it first."

Saying that, Xue Langjing also deliberately emphasized, "We have a large amount of food, one person can eat at least five or six people's portions, if I can provide a full meal, I will charge five yuan less, and I will charge ten yuan less for two meals." ”

A meal for five or six people has to be full, and five cents is enough to choke.

In this way, one mu is more than 65 yuan in labor costs.

But even if they eat a few more meals, they are only a few pennies short, and if they can't harvest food, they will be worse than just a few pennies.

Therefore, after a little hesitation, everyone promised to provide a full meal.

Xue Langjing asked them to point out their house, and then chose an old woman who was closest and had not yet started to eat after cooking at home.

At this moment, nothing is more important to her than having a full meal, and of course whoever can provide the food first will go to whomever house first.

Now that she has chosen someone, others are not easy to rob people, so they can only look enviously at the fifth aunt that the Liu family's aunt said, that is, the Sun family brought people back to their homes.

Watching the two leave, the others could only sigh and go back.

All they can fight for is the next position.

But having is better than nothing.

And this Sun family was naturally full of joy to lead Xue Langjing home.

When you come to Sun's house, you can see the few rice stalks piled on the bamboo mats in the yard, with ears growing on them, and some stripped poles piled up in the corners.

When I entered the hall, I saw a stack of pickles on the dining table, and a female doll about five or six years old was sitting obediently drinking rice cereal.

Seeing the stranger coming in, the female doll seemed to be a little shy and lowered her body a little, 'concentrating' on the way to eat.

Bringing people into the house, Sun hurriedly invited Xue Langjing to sit down, and then went to get a bowl and scooped out a bowl of rice paste from the pot and handed it to her enthusiastically, "Girl, there is still a bowl in the pot, I will also serve it for you, you eat two bowls of paste to fill your stomach first, and you don't have time to do anything else, I will give you the following noodles to ensure that you are full." ”

As he spoke, he urged the little girl, "Girl, hurry up and finish eating, and then make a fire for the milk, and the milk will order some noodles for this girl, and leave some for you." ”

After that, she served another bowl, and then brushed the pot and boiled the water.

And the girl listened to her grandmother's words, so she hurriedly pulled the rice paste into her mouth.

Because of her own reasons, this little girl couldn't eat a good meal, Xue Langjing was a little reluctant, so she said to her, "It's okay, eat slowly, I'm not in a hurry." ”

"Okay, okay, thank you, big sister", although the little girl was shy, she still replied to her politely, but she was not slow to swallow it.

Xue Langjing hadn't eaten such a mouthful of brown rice paste for several years, but she finally ate it, and her hunger instinct overcame her picky appetite, and she quickly swallowed it in a big gulp.

Two bowls of rice paste, she solved it in three or two clicks.

Temporarily alleviating hunger, Xue Langjing, who had nothing to do, chatted with the busy Sun family.
