Chapter 44 It's still the Liu family
Mango planting, busy planting.
The wheat farmer is busy, and the show girl is out of the room.
Spring ploughing is very busy, and most of the women don't have to go to the field yet. But when it is time to plant mangs, even the women who are busy weaving in the house will go down to the field to harvest the wheat.
Wheat ripens quickly, as the saying goes, "Nine ripe ten harvests, ten ripe nine harvests." "As soon as the wheat is fully ripe, the grain falls off into the ground, and at least ten percent of the wheat is lost.
Farmers are counting on the grain in the fields all year round, how can they afford to lose this percent of their income?
In summer, there are many heavy rains, if the wheat is not harvested before the rainstorm, let the rain shower, the ripe ears are very easy to germinate, which will reduce the yield and quality. If it is unfortunate to encounter a few days of rain, the threshing wheat after harvest can not be dried in time, and it is easy to cause germination and mildew.
In this way, it is not that the output will be reduced, but that the grain in the second half of the year will be gone.
Therefore, when the mango seed is fighting with God, even if the whole family goes into battle, they have to be busy harvesting wheat and drying wheat.
It is self-evident that Liu Qianli and the Liu family saw that they could no longer help this year, so they could no longer keep the brothers and sisters in the Liu family, so that the mother and son of the Liu family had to be busy with farming and distracted to take care of them.
Aunt Liu depends on her son's everything, Liu Wensu also knows that the mangzhong is very important, especially after experiencing the busyness of spring ploughing alone, he knows that he has no time and energy to teach the brothers and sisters during this period, so he does not force people to stay, and only tells the two not to delay their studies after they go back, and when the mangzhong comes back, he will take the school examination one by one.
After saying this, Liu Wensu saw that the paper and ink of the brother and sister were almost used up, and took out his own paper and ink.
Liu Shi didn't worry about his younger brother, he always felt that Liu Wensu was still young, and he didn't see how Liu Wensu arranged farming on the sidelines, and then Yin Yin told her, she was reluctant to leave.
This delay is from afternoon to evening.
The daughter and son-in-law brought fish, there was no reason for them to leave hungry, and the grandchildren had not seen anyone for ten and a half months this time.
"Auntie, that's enough, don't do it." Together with Grandma Liu, they brought the freshly baked evening food, and seeing that Grandma Liu was going back to the stove room to cook, Liu's family hurriedly pulled Grandma Liu to sit down.
Four adults, two children, five dishes and one soup, it is indeed enough.
Grandma Liu calculated, and listened to the persuasion of her children and grandchildren, so she wiped the hot sweat on her forehead and sat down, and hurriedly greeted her grandson and granddaughter, her eyes full of reluctance, "As soon as you go back, Grandma can't see it, so eat more this meal." ”
Liu Chenxing just wanted to eat more, after all, he didn't have these to eat when he returned to Liu's house.
So it turned all the attention to the table.
The soup is a fish-head mountain mushroom soup, which is boiled white and thick.
Dishes, steamed, grilled, and cold salad.
Steamed: egg custard, steamed river prawns.
Grilled with: grilled fish body.
Cold salad has: garlic beans and soy sauce mixed with okra.
Soups and dishes are available, and staple foods are indispensable. On a hot day, you have to eat "cold tao", that is, cold noodles. Knead the dough and roll the dough, the noodles are cooked, soaked in the well water for an hour, it is very cold, and then cut the cucumber shreds, pear shreds, poured with soybean sauce and mixed, the taste is not worse than the modern cold noodles.
It's a pity that "cold Tao noodles" lack some chili oil and millet spicy, and Liu Chenxing always feels that he owes a trace of refreshing taste.
There are not many ingredients in the farmhouse, and there are only a few decent dishes to and fro, eggs and chickens are the best main dishes that can be brought out by entertaining guests, if it is not enough, it is to go to the river to catch fish, shrimp and crabs.
At the moment when materials are extremely scarce, Liu Chenxing is already very satisfied to have fish, shrimp and eggs, after all, contentment can make happiness, and fish, shrimp and eggs are all high-protein foods, and she needs to grow her body now.
Thinking that he didn't have these to eat after returning to Liu's house, Liu Chenxing had a round stomach this time.
Fortunately, I have eaten a lot of meat and oily food recently, and my body has already adapted to it, and I didn't slip my stomach as soon as I ate it.
But even if he had to eat a bad stomach, Liu Chenxing felt that he had to eat a big meal, and sure enough, when he returned to Liu's house, it was wild vegetable steamed cakes and wild vegetable porridge, and he didn't care if he was full.
I haven't seen her for a month, Grandma Liu didn't think about her granddaughter at all, I saw her eating absent-mindedly the morning before, and I also took care of her mouth this month, and the steamed cakes with wild vegetables naturally didn't taste very palatable, but Grandma Liu sneered when she got the opportunity.
"Yo! The Liu family is used to eating big fish and meat! I can't even look down on our bran here! ”
As soon as Grandma Liu saw Liu Chenxing drinking porridge and eating cakes, her grandmother felt as uncomfortable as cutting her heart and liver.
The second daughter-in-law is really a treacherous one, and her grandson is already half of the labor force, so it's just right to take it back and cut wheat, but this granddaughter is a money-loser, except for eating, she can't help a little, so she should stay in the Liu family to raise, and I don't know what to do when I take it back!?
Of course, Liu Chenxing knew what Grandma Liu was unhappy about.
Like Grandma Liu, she was afraid that she would eat less, and Grandma Liu was afraid that she would eat more.
Liu Chenxing fortunately took a big bite of the last steamed cake in his hand, and as expected, he saw Grandma Liu's flesh pain, she responded with a smile: "Grandma, it's about to be planted, and the food should be better than when we were ploughing in spring, so our family doesn't eat bran vegetables!" ”
When Grandma Liu heard this, she was immediately even more distressed.
Her grandmother finally figured out the good plan of the second couple!
It turned out to be looking forward to the food of mangzhong.
Grandma Liu couldn't eat at once, and wanted her second son to take away her little granddaughter, but the second son was the main force of spring ploughing, which ......
Before he could come up with a reason, Mr. Liu had already made a decision, "My little lady of the Liu family, how can there be a reason to stay in a foreign house." There are egg dishes every day during the mango planting period, and Ah Xing came back at the right time. ”
My husband has said this, what else can her grandma say?
Grandma Liu only pinched her nose and confessed.
Liu Qianli was relieved to hear more, and couldn't help touching Liu Chenxing's head with satisfaction, and spoke for the Liu family: "Ah Xing, our family has a large population, and it is inevitable that there will be fewer people who are usually assigned to each person, but as long as there is a good one, your Ah Weng Grandma will still stick to you first." ”
Hearing this, Liu Chenxing drank porridge silently, but once again admired Mr. Liu's husband in his heart, and sure enough, Jiang was still old and spicy.
Even after walking for a month, Aya has changed a lot, but the Liu family is still the same Liu family.
No, the uncle spoke out at the right time.
"Hey! What a coincidence. After Liu Wanli sighed for a long time, he said with guilt on his face: "There will be a poetry meeting in a few days, if I can win a name in this poetry meeting, it will be of great benefit to me in the county examination next year, so I will live in the school tomorrow and prepare a few poems in advance. He shook his head and sighed, "Ashamed, ashamed." ”
