Chapter 45: Sweet Corn Stalks

"It's okay, it's okay, the corn cobs are already cooked, and they will be harvested in more than half a month, otherwise how would the second grandfather be willing to let us enter his family's land."

Tong Shuangshuang has to work in the field every year, so he still understands some of these.

Also, there is nothing more precious to the croppers than grain.

"When the time comes, we will chew the corn stalks, break off the corn cobs and take them back to the second grandfather." Tong Shuangshuang thought that his sister was still worried, so he continued to talk to her.

Since this is the case, Tong Shuangxi can accompany his younger brother to find sweet corn stalks with peace of mind.

Corn leaves are at their thickest, and the burrs on them are thin and short, but they can easily get on people's clothes and skin.

"Sister, if you use your arm like me, you won't be able to scratch it!"

Tong Shuangshuang in front of him turned his face away, looking at the corn stalk while pushing away the corn leaves that were taller than him in front of him.

Tong Shuangxi saw his younger brother walking in front familiarly, and he didn't dare to relax, and followed behind him.

"This one, this one is thick and dark, it must be the sweetest!"

After walking for a while, Tong Shuangxi heard the joy of his younger brother in front of him.

The siblings crouched down and looked at the corn stalk.

The summer night is shorter, and the sky is not dark for a while and a half, and Tong Shuangxi can see the thick corn stalk in front of him clearly.

Tong Shuangxi remembered the sugarcane he ate in his previous life, and he thought it should be a taste!

Tong Shuangxi thought about it here, and Tong Shuangshuang over there had already stood up and pulled it out.

"I'll help you!"

The two sisters and brothers, one up and the other down, grabbed the corn stalk and pulled it up.

Fortunately, the root of the corn stalk was not too deep, and the sister and brother both used their strength to pull it out.

"Let's find a few more!"

Tong Shuangshuang looked very excited, Tong Shuangxi looked at the corn stalk in front of him, and also felt a sense of accomplishment, no wonder these children like to drill into the ground!

The two siblings stopped and went, and in a short time they pulled out five or six corn stalks.

"Hehe, I can't pull it out anymore, or the second grandfather should scold."

Although Tong Shuangshuang still wants to pull it out in his heart, he also knows that food is expensive.

Tong Shuangxi couldn't help but stick out his tongue, this person is really greedy, don't he also want to pull one after pulling one, and he wants to find a better one when he sees a good one.

The siblings dragged the five or six corn stalks to the ground.

By the time the two sisters and brothers came out, the two Qin dogs had already come out of the cornfield, and at this time, they were peeling off the shell coat on the corn stalk one by one, revealing the smooth and tender hard stalks of the corn stalks.

"Brother Ergou, where did you pull it out! How can it be so thick! ”

It was the first time Tong Shuangshuang had seen such a thick sweet corn stalk, so he couldn't help but ask.

Qin Ergouzi's face was red, and the broken hair on his forehead was also wrinkled together, but there were some scattered demeanors of ancient chivalrous.

At this time, Tong Shuangxi found that this Qin Ergou was not bad.

"You don't understand this, do you? This sweet corn stalk, the higher it grows, the sweeter it gets, the more it grows there, the thicker it becomes, boy, follow me and learn slowly! ”

These housekeeping skills have always been Qin Ergouzi's proudest, so he couldn't help but show off in front of Tong Shuangxi and Tong Shuangshuang's sister and brother.

Tong Shuangxi pursed his lips and disagreed, but Tong Shuangshuang's face lit up when he heard it.

"Brother Ergou, look at these few roots that my sister and I pulled, although they are not as thick as yours, they must be the sweetest."

Saying that, Tong Shuangshuang hugged the corn stalk in the hands of his sister and brother to Qin Ergouzi.

Qin Ergouzi looked at it, but he also picked it up one by one and looked at it.

"This one is okay, this one is not good, this worm has eaten it, this one is sweet, and there shouldn't be much sweet juice!"

Three times five divided by two, Tong Shuangxi and Tong Shuangshuang's sister and brother picked out the corn stalks so that only two remained.

Tong Shuangshuang's smiling face was about to squeeze out water.

"Not necessarily, we all pull it out, let's all taste it, maybe it's all good!" Tong Shuangxi couldn't bear to see his younger brother disappointed, so he stepped forward and put back the few that Qin Ergou had pulled out.

Tong Shuangshuang was reluctant to sentence himself to death for the few corn stalks he pulled out like this, so he nodded.

Qin Ergouzi looked at the appearance of the two sisters and brothers, and didn't speak, only shook his head with a smile, and continued to play with the corn stalk in his hand.

The sister and brother tried to break them one by one, and in the end, only two of them were edible.

Tong Shuangshuang's face was inevitably disappointed, and Tong Shuangxi could only comfort him.

"I'll just say it, you still don't believe me!"

Qin Ergouzi was inevitably proud, and just as Tong Shuangxi was about to glare at him, he saw that Qin Ergouzi stood up. Walked towards Tong Shuangshuang and said, "I'll take you to find a few better ones." ”

Tong Shuangshuang was not convinced, but he couldn't resist the temptation of Qin Ergouzi, and looked straight at his sister.

His younger brother's idea is careful, how can Tong Shuangxi not see it.

"Go ahead, pay attention to safety, don't scratch your face!"

These words were said to Tong Shuangshuang, and they were also said to Qin Ergouzi.

Tong Shuangshuang responded to his own voice, and his face was full of excitement and he followed Qin Ergou to drill into the field.

"The ones I peeled are sweet and ready to eat!"

As soon as Qin Ergouzi got into the cornfield, he remembered that Tong Shuangxi was still in the field, turned around and walked out of the cornfield, and said to her.

Tong Shuangxi nodded, even if Qin Ergou didn't say it, she would secretly taste one, after all, the food was the most unacceptable.

Seeing Qin Ergouzi and Tong Shuangshuang both high and low into the cornfield, Tong Shuangxi picked the thickest corn stalk and sat down, peeling it with his mouth.

In her previous life, she went to the mountains to teach in college, and when she was thirsty halfway up the mountain, she folded sugarcane on the spot to quench her thirst, and the local people directly peeled it with their mouths, and Tong Shuangxi learned a skill there.

After the skin was spit out, Tong Shuangxi took a bite and chewed it gently, and the sweet juice flowed down his teeth to the tip of his tongue.

Sugarcane is refreshing and sweet, but the sweetness of corn stalks is not as sweet as sugarcane at the beginning, but with a faint fragrance, slowly from shallow to mellow.

Tong Shuangxi ate such a thing for the first time, and he couldn't say how he felt, but he felt that the whole person's entire taste was fresh, and he couldn't help but feel that he was quiet and good.

Tong Shuangxi liked this taste for the first time, and after eating the whole root, he wanted to eat the second one.

Just thinking about Qin Ergouzi and Tong Shuangshuang, Tong Shuangxi didn't continue to eat, but put away the corn cobs that he had peeled off before one by one, and brought them back to Qin Lao Neng and his family later.
