"Oops!" Peach Blossom suddenly let go of her hand, the basket fell to the ground, and all the fruits were sprinkled.

Tian Meibao burst into tears, didn't look at the peach blossoms again, and squatted down to pick up the fruit.

Peach Blossom pursed her lips, deliberately stepped on a few wild strawberries, sprayed Tian Meibao's hand, and smiled proudly at Tian Qing'an, before taking the bench away.

Tian Qingan lowered his eyes, squatted down with peas and helped Tian Meibao pick up the fruit back into the basket.

She can kick the peach blossom flying, or go up and slap her twice, or she can use words to attack her so self-conscious that she cried bitterly-

However, this is antiquity!

Her previous actions would only make people think that this girl was sharp and sharp at a young age, but she would not say that she had a flexible brain and a sharp tongue.

She is not alone, she also has a big brother who wants to take the imperial examination...... Hey, no matter how reluctant you are, you have to hold your tail first!

The evil old society, there are no human rights!

She scolded a few words secretly, reflected on her previous actions, and made sure that there were not too many loopholes, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, these fruits are quite strong, except for a few wild strawberries that were deliberately trampled by peach blossoms, the rest is at most a little broken skin, and it can be eaten after washing.

"Okay, don't cry." Tian Qingan is not very good at comforting people, and the peas and Tian Qingyang next to her are not as good as her, so they will just look at them blankly.

Fortunately, Tian Meibao was not difficult to coax, and quickly wiped away her tears, "I'm fine, but these fruits may have to be shared with everyone first." ”

"It's okay, it's as it should be, let's go, I'll wash it with you." Tian Qingan said.

"Ming'er, let's let my brother take me up the mountain, it's fun on the mountain!" Out of the psychology of compensation, Tian Meibao said, "There are pheasants, wild rabbits, and a lot of delicious fruits on the mountain, we will pick them by ourselves tomorrow, and we will pick whatever we want." ”

"Well, I've never climbed a mountain before!" Tian Qingan said with a smile.

The hand was shaken, and Pea whispered, "I'm going too!" ”

Tian Qingan glared at him, what a mess!

"If my mother agrees, I'll take you!"

Pea raised a smile, as if her mother had agreed...... What a silly boy!

……

Tian Qingan and Tian Meibao carried a basket and a wooden basin out of the yard...... There is no well in the courtyard, and the public well in the village is in the middle of the village, a hundred meters deeper.

There is no one by the well, this is the meal, and the smell of burning wood is all the way, as for the smell of rice, it can only be said that I have read too many novels and thought too much!

Ueda Village is basically food and clothing, rural people have always been thrifty, stir-fry vegetables are not willing to put oil, not the New Year's Festival, guests at home, will not cut meat for no reason, ordinary vegetables fried generally taste not too heavy, so, don't think too much.

The well was the same as she had seen in the TV series, with a crossbar with a rocker on the top, wrapped around the well rope, and a wooden barrel underneath.

Tian Qingan tried it in person, and it was more laborious to shake it than expected, squeaking, and after shaking, she held on to the handle, and Tian Meibao took out the wooden bucket and poured the water into the wooden basin.

"You wash it first, I'll try!" Tian Qingan wanted to find a way to save effort, not to mention that it was too laborious to shake, and one person couldn't shake and carry the bucket at the same time...... The arms are too short.

She threw the bucket directly into the well, shook the rope, and after filling half a bucket of water, pulled the rope directly.

The wooden barrel itself is not light, and with half a barrel of water, it weighs at least six or seven kilograms.

Of course, it is nothing to Tian Qingan, she is a strong woman.

But for ordinary people, it's a lot of work.

However, at the moment, she has no plans to renovate the water pumping device of the well, so she can do it easily.

"Red dates, you come to wash, I'll fetch water!" Tian Meibao was embarrassed to let her sister do the heavy work, and said busily.

Tian Qingan hooked the rope with one finger, and the wooden barrel swayed under the bottom with half a bucket of water, "It's okay, look at me, it's not hard at all!" ”

Tian Meibao opened her mouth wide in surprise, "You have so much strength!" ”

Tian Qingan didn't correct it, her strength is more than this, "Now believe it, you wash it quickly, I'll fetch you water, by the way, where is the washed water?" ”

"Just throw it on the ground." Tian Meibao smiled and said, "What's the matter, there is a special place to pour water in the capital?" ”

"No, there is a well where we live, and all the dirty water is poured into the vegetable garden!"

Laundry soap, natural and pollution-free, just splash it in the vegetable field.

"Do you still have a vegetable garden? Don't you need to plant flowers? ”

"No, it's a waste to grow flowers, it's better to grow vegetables, you can save a lot of money, and there are fresh vegetables to eat from time to time."

"I thought that everyone in the capital planted flowers...... This is what the village chief's Meiyu said, she and her father have been to the capital, and said that many people have planted a lot of flowers in their yards, but they are beautiful! ”

"Oh, there are people's yards in the capital to grow flowers, but these are all officials, and rich, poor people like us, and we don't know how to appreciate it, so there's no need for that."

……

The two were talking, the fruit was washed, and when they were brought back to the courtyard, the food had already been set on the three tables, and the people were all seated, so Tian Qingan and Tian Meibao were left.

"What are you two doing?" Wang came up and took the wooden basin, "Wash the fruit...... Okay, sit down, put this aside for now, and eat it after you've eaten. ”

There are three tables, one sits the old man Tian and the four sons and grandchildren of the family and his son-in-law Chen Dongsheng, in short, the man, one sits the adult women of the family, and the last sits the children over the age of three in the family.

Tian Qingyang and Tian Dazhuang were at the first table.

The table was as big, but there were more than a dozen children, huddled into a heap, and they were all in a mess.

Peach Blossom sat in the middle of the children, eyebrows raised, staring at Pea who refused to sit down.

There are still two empty seats next to her, I guess it's her and Tian Meibao's, right?

Sure enough, Tian Meibao pulled her to sit down in those two empty seats.

Tian Qingan stretched out his hand to scoop up the peas with an indifferent face, and he didn't know who this guy learned from, so it was very worrying that he wanted to become a monk at a young age.

"Why don't you sit down?" Tian Qingan hugged the pea and asked.

"It's dirty." The little guy pouted, with a look of reluctance, "The second sister holds me to eat, I don't want to sit." ”

There are many people, and the bench is black and sticky on the bench surface...... Forget it, don't say it or watch it, otherwise she won't be able to sit down.

"Hmph, this meal is not clean, don't you eat it!" Everywhere, peach blossoms pop up all the time.

Tian Qingan directly pulled Pea's head, and didn't take care of the peach blossom at all, "Okay, the second sister feeds you, but you also know the conditions of the second sister, come, let's talk about it." ”

"You can't be picky and eat only meat." The little one tilted his head and blinked his dark eyes.

"Can it be done?"

"Yes." But very reluctantly, her mouth was pouting and she could hang the oil pot, Tian Qingan scraped it twice, and when she heard the old man Tian say open the meal on the first table, she also said, "Open your mouth, open your mouth!" ”

Tian Meibao happily watched the interaction between the sisters and brothers, and looked forward to her mother giving her a younger brother and sister.

Although I haven't it yet, isn't there a ready-made one, and Tian Meibao has also joined the feeding ranks.

It's a pity that they didn't eat two chopsticks, and Tian Qingan and Pea Qi lost their appetite.

Tian Qingan knew his younger brother's character, and Tian Meibao wanted to feed it again, but she was also stopped by her.

The children at the table, except for her, Tian Meibao and Peach Blossom, all have no chopsticks, and they all reach out to grab the vegetables directly, with vegetables in one hand and steamed buns in the other, and the food is quite sweet.

The problem is that these children don't have the awareness to wash their hands before eating, they all have a pair of black hands, like cabbage stewed vermicelli with soup, and the black hands are in the soup circle, and the soup has thickened......

Tian Qingan had to endure the psychological discomfort under his buttocks, and he had to watch a pair of dirty hands......

Hey, don't mention it, don't look at it, she pressed the pea's head down and fed a piece of jerky, "Eat rice!" ”

Tian Meibao frowned and looked at the messy slots on the table, and finally understood why the sister and brother next to her didn't eat, and she couldn't eat it either.

But she didn't talk about the children.

"Actually, it's not like that." Tian Meibao explained, and glanced at Peach Blossom again, she thought that Peach Blossom was doing a ghost.

Tian Qingan shrugged, oh, and said casually: "It's okay, I'm not too hungry yet." "I used to eat a lot of pine nuts.
