Chapter 28: Don't worry about it
On this day, I went to cut the wheat on the lower river beach, because there are jujube trees growing on the ground here, so it is also called a jujube garden.
It is about one acre and two or three points of land, which is divided into three large pieces, and the five jujube trees on the ridge of the field are also distributed to the old house everywhere.
The dates on the tree are not much bigger than the thumb eggs, blue-green, this is the first time Tian Miao saw the unripe dates, so he quietly picked one from the branch that stretched down and threw it into his mouth.
The dry slag is slightly sour when chewed, and the sweetness is almost untainable, Tian Miao couldn't help frowning.
Qiu Chenghao, who had been watching her movements, kept twitching the corners of his mouth.
"You can eat it if it's white."
"Sister-in-law, do you want to eat dates? You wait, I'll pick it for you. ”
Before Tian Miao could express her opinion, Qiu Chengkai had already stumbled to the tree, and it seemed that the dates facing the sun on the treetops were different from the ones she had just picked, and the color was blue-white.
Dabao walked up to another jujube tree, hugged the trunk with a diameter of about 40 centimeters, and tried to climb up.
Although the speed is a little slower, the movement is still the same.
"Dabao, don't, don't go up, it's dangerous." Tian Miao turned around and saw him, so he rushed over.
"You don't have to."
He turned his head to glare at Tian Miao, and forced Tian Miao to stop a meter away.
"Get down!" Qiu Chenghao stood up and gave Dabao an order directly.
Dabao glanced at Qiu Chenghao, who had a cold face, and slipped down.
"Let me see, if your arm is broken?"
Watching his bare arm slide down against the rough tree trunk, Tian Miao felt a headache in her heart, and she rushed up to raise his arm to take a look.
"Eventful." But Dabao shook off her hand and turned away.
I thought that after these two days of hard work, Dabao's attitude towards her would be better, but looking at this situation, she still has a difficult journey to go.
"Mother, big brother, he's embarrassed."
Erbao quietly approached Tian Miao, muttered something in her ear, and then ran away quickly.
Tian Miao, who was a little depressed, was in an instant mood, she quietly winked at Erbao and pricked him with a thumbs up.
"Sister-in-law, eat dates."
Qiu Chengkai had already gotten off the tree, stuffed a handful of whitened dates into Tian Miao's hand, and then ran to distribute dates to others.
Tian Miao threw a jujube into her mouth, chew it, chew it, I don't know if the white jujube is really better than the green jujube, or because she is in a good mood, she actually thinks that this jujube is sweeter than the red jujube.
Because of the shade of the jujube trees, the moisture in the three fields of the jujube orchard is very heavy, the wheat is crooked, and the ears of wheat are not very full, so it is a little difficult to cut.
At night, only two-thirds of the wheat is harvested.
In order to make meat pies, Tian Miao took Qiu Chengping home early, and when Qiu Chenghao and the others came back, a small pot of tomato and egg soup and a bunch of meat pies mixed with chopped green onions were also served on a plate.
"It's delicious, it's so delicious, I can't see the meat inside, but why is it so delicious!"
Qiu Chengkai sighed while eating.
"That is, you can't fry meat slices to eat meat in the future, it's too wasteful, you still have to eat it like this, it's delicious and not wasteful."
Qiu Chengping, who studied with Tian Miao throughout the whole process, has already made plans in her heart, and if she has meat at home in the future, she will make meat pies.
Smear some lard on the pot and paste the cake with minced meat and green onions, just smelling it is very fragrant, let alone eating it in your mouth.
Qiu Chenghao ate the soft meat pie, looking at the beautiful egg flowers floating on the bowl, his mood was indescribably complicated, I really hope that Tian Miao will always be like this, and life can go on as well as today.
Tian Miao, who was trying to control his diet, couldn't control himself tonight, but fortunately, compared with the past when he had to eat twelve points full, today's eight points of fullness is not too serious.
The next day, Tian Miao handed over the steamed buns to Qiu Chengfang and Qiu Chengping, and she proudly announced that she would come over to eat the buns together in the morning.
went home to sleep, as if there was a tacit understanding, after Qiu Chenghao sent her water into the house, he consciously went to the hall.
Tian Miao finally finished the thatched house with peace of mind before going to sleep on the kang.
When he went to the old house in the morning, Tian Miao carried the half basket of eggs in the cabinet, Qiu Chenghao just glanced at it and didn't say anything, but when he turned around, he unconsciously curled the corners of his mouth.
The family happily ate the steamed oil buns of Qiu Chengfang and Qiu Chengping, and then continued to cut the wheat.
At eleven o'clock in the morning, when the wheat in the jujube garden was harvested, they moved to another wheat field in the old house.
After two days of hard work, the wheat in the old house was finally cut, and the work was harvested early this night, in order to celebrate, Tian Miao simply coaxed Qiu Chengfang to roll out the handmade noodles.
Boil diced carrots, diced white radish, and diced potatoes in boiling water, add the fried diced tomatoes and pork dumplings, then cut the fried eggs into cubes and sprinkle them in, and sprinkle a handful of minced leeks and coriander before leaving the pot.
Tian Miao, who commanded Qiu Chengfang and Qiu Chengping to cook, was in a super good mood, she never imagined that this meal would become a breakup meal between her and Qiu Chenghao, and she still couldn't eat the breakup meal in her mouth.
