Chapter 12 Picking wheat and mushrooms

The next day was a sunny day, and it was a good day for the harvest.

Dress tightly (the ears of wheat are very prickly, and there are mosquitoes or something in the wheat field).

Grandpa Xu found her a small basket in the warehouse, and took a small straw hat for Duan Huan to wear, and then led Duan Huan out.

When I arrived in the field, I saw that everyone was busy, and a large piece of wheat had been cut, and the men, women, and children in the field were doing their own work.

Chaomei Chaosu saw Duan Huan and hurriedly ran over: "Little aunt, why did you come!" You see we've all picked it up so much! ”

After saying that, he also showed off the baskets of the two brothers, but in fact, the ears of wheat had not yet covered the bottom of the basket.

The happiness of the little doll is very simple, and she was dragged by the two brothers to a place where she thought she had left more ears of wheat.

In fact, the current food is expensive, and the quality of the work is closely linked, adults will be very careful when cutting wheat, and there will be few omissions, in short, the speed of cutting wheat is not as fast as the little dolls picking up ears of wheat.

I was bored and looked around, and I actually found a few gray mushrooms in the wheat field, and at first glance they turned out to be straw mushrooms.

This mushroom generally grows in crop fields, which is rarely seen, and this is what the locals told them when they traveled in southern Yunnan before.

Although straw mushrooms are not rare mushrooms, they are delicious when stir-fried and made into soup, which is a good delicacy for people at this time.

For those who just came to let off steam, this is an unexpected joy, and his physique with koi luck is simply worthy of its reputation.

Huanhuan immediately forgot about the ears of wheat and began to search for straw mushrooms.

Don't forget to put some fungus spores into the space, and if you want to eat it in the future, it will be endless!

Super beautiful and super Su Jian picked up a lot of mushrooms: "Little aunt, can you eat this mushroom?" ”

"It can be eaten, this is called straw mushroom, it only grows in the crop field, and it is very delicious to fry rape and cook soup"

"Then we'll pick it up too! There were straw mushrooms to eat at noon! ”

For the two brothers, the words of joy are very credible.

Who makes everyone have candy in their pockets and is generous?

The little doll is also ranked according to its strength, whether it is fighting ability and economic quality.

Duan Huan quickly picked up a basket of mushrooms, so he helped the two brothers pick them up, and soon their baskets were full.

However, there are obviously more ears of wheat in the super beautiful basket, and Chaosu is the same as himself, it is estimated that there are no two ears of wheat, all of which are mushrooms.

After a while, I heard the bell ringing, and Grandpa Xu also called himself home for dinner.

Duan Huan also made an appointment with the two brothers for the afternoon, and in the afternoon, they would pick up ears of wheat and go to hunt sparrows.

"Why did you pick up so many mushrooms, how heavy is this!" Grandpa Xu hurriedly took the basket over: "Yo! It's all straw mushrooms, and my little fish are capable! ”

"Zuzu, this mushroom looks like a lot, but it's not heavy at all, maybe it's not enough to fry a plate when it's cooked!"

The grandfather and grandson arrived home with the front foot and was washing his face, and the uncle came to the door with the back foot, and he had to pull Grandpa Xu to his house for dinner, Grandpa Xu didn't want to go, after all, the rations of each family were limited at this time.

But Jia Junbo insisted that their grandfather's household registration was not in the village, and there were no rations, and Grandpa Xu went to drive the ox cart for the sake of helping him as a nephew, and he couldn't even skip a meal.

Invited again and again, Grandpa Xu, who was very gracious, took Duan Huan with him, and also brought a piece of bacon from the kitchen and the mushrooms that Duan Huan picked up in the morning.

Uncle Jia Jun stopped doing it when he saw Grandpa Xu taking things: "Sixth uncle, do you look down on me or what?" Although we said that we were out of five suits early, but the diligence of the people who came and went was not worse than that of close relatives, over the years, you have helped me so much, how can I still accept your things after eating my meal! Put it all down, you and the little fish eat slowly! ”

"It's not that Uncle Sixth is polite to you," Grandpa Xu explained with a smile: "This bacon is from last year, and the little fish don't like to eat it, and the weather is hot and can't be stopped." The straw mushroom was picked up by a small fish this morning, and it won't be fresh in the evening! ”

Uncle Jia looked embarrassed, he finally invited the sixth uncle to have a meal, and he had to take advantage of it, and he felt very embarrassed.

Duan Huan hurriedly took over the conversation: "Uncle Jiajun, you just take it!" Zuzu originally planned to make mushrooms for me to eat at noon, but if you don't want mushrooms, I won't be able to eat them at noon! ”

For the coquettish and cute people who are happy, Jia Junbo took the basket: "Okay! Just listen to our little fish! ”

Grandpa Xu hugged him and followed Uncle Jia into the house.

I saw that Uncle Jiajun's house was also a mud house, but the yard was quite large, and it was cleaned up neatly.

Uncle Jia's family all came up to greet him, and there were more than a dozen people in this family.

Uncle Jia has four sons, the eldest two are married and have children, and they have moved out of the village with another homestead, and there are two young people who have not yet started a family and live with their parents.

There was a middle-aged woman in her forties and fifties who opened the kitchen curtain and came out, this is the mother-in-law of Uncle Jiajun: "Uncle Sixth is here, yo, the longer our little fish grows, the better they look!" ”

As happy and sweet as she called her aunt, the woman was rare, and she took the little fish and sat on the top.

There was an old lady with goosebumps sitting in front of the table, and the old lady took Wan Huan's hand, muttering something bad in her mouth, and the little fish couldn't understand it.

The aunt was afraid of scaring Duan Huan, so she explained: "This is the grandmother, Duan Huan is not afraid!" ”

"Hello grandmother!" Say hello with all the rules: "I'm a little fish!" What is a bad house? ”

Grandpa Xu leaned into the old lady's ear and said loudly: "Second uncle, I'm Huai'an!" This is my last child, does it look like my eldest sister? ”

Huan Huan was surprised, Zuzu still has an eldest sister?

The old lady estimated that she was a little senile, and she didn't answer Grandpa Xu, but she still read Huaifang Huaifang in her mouth.

The eldest aunt commanded the daughters-in-law to stir-fry and serve, and two sets of tables and stools were arranged. The dishes are four dishes and one soup, and the portions are quite large.

Stir-fried bacon with green peppers, back to the pot meat, mapo tofu, cold salad with folded ear root, garlic and bracken, the soup is a straw mushroom brought by a small fish, and eggs are added to make egg mushroom soup.

Eating the dishes that Grandpa Xu gave her, she looked happy, especially mapo tofu, which was spicy and fragrant, and definitely not lost to the century-old Chen Mapo.

Although the old lady is senile and her hearing is not very good, her body is quite tough.

also sandwiched a few pieces of tofu to Duan Huan, the chopsticks did not tremble, and the mouth was still chattering, the tofu was delicious, and Huaifang loved to eat it.

After eating, Grandpa Xu said goodbye with all the joy, and the old lady pulled the full joy and was reluctant: "Huaifang, tomorrow I will grind the bean curd, you come and eat!" ”

Zuzu, the eldest sister, why did she fight with all the bean products, either tofu or bean curd.

"Zuzu, why does my grandmother keep pulling me to call Huaifang?" Huan couldn't help but ask Grandpa Xu.

It turned out that the grandmother gave birth to a son and five daughters in her life, and the son of Uncle Jiajun's father grew up, and the female babies all died, so it is particularly rare for female babies.

Grandpa Xu's ancestor was a salt merchant in southern Sichuan and had been living outside.

When it came to Grandpa Xu's father, that is, the generation of Taizu Huan, the burden of heavy taxes and miscellaneous taxes was too heavy, and the business was not good, so he sold Yanjing and switched to running freight from south to north.

Although it makes money by running freight, it is hard money to go from south to north, in the wind and rain, either on the ship or at the dock.

Taizuzu is a very wise person, seeing the war, he felt that life outside was uneasy, so he sold his property and took Zuzu and Guzuzu back to the ancestral land of Tianshui Village in a low-key manner.

claimed to the public that he was carrying a bag on the dock, his life was difficult, and his mother-in-law was sick and died. The war disaster outside was too rampant, so he fled back to his hometown with his children and rented a few acres of land to support his family.

The grandmother admires Huaifang (Gu Zuzu), a half-grown girl, who has no mother, and can still bring her younger brother to be refreshing and clean, and she admires and loves it very much.

Seeing that she was meticulous and skillful, he liked it very much, so he taught Huaifang all the embroidery skills handed down by his ancestors, and also told her that he was a distant cousin and nephew of his grandmother in Shanghai.

It is said that the other party's family has opened several garment shops and silk villages, and the family background is particularly good.

The other party's mother took a fancy to Huaifang's ability to write and calculate, as well as craftsmanship, diligence and virtuousness, and she could be a daughter-in-law who could live.

The elders of the Xu family feel that the other party's family population is simple, and the mother-in-law does not seem to be a lonely person. Moreover, Huaifang has skills and confidence, and she can gain a firm foothold in her in-law's family and will not be bullied.

In this way, both families feel that they are a good family. Huaifang took the simple dowry prepared by Taizu Zuming on his face, and the thick private money stuffed in private, followed his mother-in-law's family, and married away to Shanghai.

Later, the war was chaotic, the information exchange was not timely, and the contact was slowly lost.

The grandmother is very concerned about Huaifang, who doesn't know life and death, and now when she is delirious, she often remembers Huaifang's name.

A long past makes Duan Huan sigh, alas~ Under the shadow of a long time, everyone has their own ups and downs.
