With the help of Li Dan's family, the two acres of paddy fields were harvested before the rain.

The Su family belongs to an outsider, and they don't have their own place to dry their grain, so they have to use the Li family's grain farm.

There are seven or eight families drying grain in this open space, hiding in the shade one by one, guarding their own valley. First, it is good to harvest the grain before it rains, so as not to get wet by the rain. Second, I am afraid that someone will come to steal the grain.

Su Chengqi and his sons took turns to watch the grain field, and when it was close to noon, the lady brought food and asked the two children to go home for dinner.

Li Dan carried a pot of water, came to the grain field, sat down next to Su Chengqi, and put the clay pot on his lap. "Yours flipped?"

"Flipped. After turning it over twice, it's time for the grain to turn over. Su Chengqi took out a small bag and scooped out a handful of fried soybeans.

Li Dan quickly stretched out his hands and caught the soybeans, which were full of soybeans and cracked their coats due to stir-frying.

The Su family's fried dried soybeans are different from other people's houses, the Su family generously sprinkled with five-spice powder, Sichuan pepper, and salt, and there is a salt flavor in the mouth, and the beans are fragrant and crispy when bitten.

"Your beans are still delicious." Li Dan picked up the soybeans that fell to the ground, blew off the dust, and threw them in his mouth to chew.

"What's delicious, it's a loser. Five-spice powder, Sichuan pepper, oil and salt, which do not need a few copper plates. The three sons of my family have not grown their teeth, so they have to eat miscellaneous food. I can't eat it myself, but I am happy with those two boys. ”

Li Dan can be seen that this is a complaint, this is clearly a show, a show.

Li Dan approached Su Chengqi and whispered: "I just got a news that someone from above came to say hello and don't fight against your grain tax." ”

"Kickbox?"

"You live in the city, and you don't know much about this grain tax. Spring and autumn taxes, whenever the grain is dried, the grain official and the li come. Each family holds the land deed and household registration, and stands in the middle of the village with millet. The grain tax has to be paid forty percent, and if you weigh forty percent of the grain at home and send it, it must not be enough. You heaped the grain buckets into sharp ones, and they kicked them at the grain buckets. Five catties of millet is one pound less. That's when you're going to have to make up for it. ”

"That pound of ...... on the ground" question was still asked, and Su Chengqi figured it out.

The pound of millet on the ground, I'm afraid it went into the pocket of the "land" lord and belonged to someone else.

"If it's a good relationship, they won't kick a fight, but if it's a normal relationship, they'll kick two or three times. If it is against it, it will be miserable. You make up for it once, he kicks it once, and you are allowed to take out the food bag. Brother Su, are you someone who knows the official family? ”

The catchers in the city know two, but the people who collect the grain really don't know each other. It's strange, who's helping him?

Li Dan, who was chewing soybeans, saw that Su Chengqi was puzzled, so he reminded him, "Is there an extra baby girl in Brother Su's family?" ”

"Hmm."

"On that day, the county lord put out the moon wine, and your family went to deliver food, and there was an extra baby when he came back. On the second day, it was rumored in the county honor's house that the fourth daughter born to the county lady was gone. ”

Li Dan saw that Su Chengqi thought of it, and said one more thing, "The main book in charge of grain tax is the brother in the county lady's family. ”

Now Su Chengqi understands that he can get this kind of treatment, all thanks to the little kapok at home.

"The news inside is interesting." Li Dan teased.

There was gossip to listen to, and Su Chengqi was also interested and leaned over to listen.

"The county family, the concubine gave birth to a son, and the lady gave birth to a daughter. The county was very angry, so he gave the power of the family to the concubine. After the county lady and brothers knew about this, they all came to the door, and the county was so frightened that they quickly returned to the power of the family. The little concubine cried and made trouble, and the county respected couldn't swallow that breath. So they put on a feast and invited guests. And on the day of the wedding feast, he ordered the child to be lost. ”

"Really?"

"It's all heard, and I don't know if it's true. Mrs. County Zun gave birth to three daughters in a row. ”

Li Dan threw the last few soybeans into his mouth, lifted the clay pot, poured out a bowl of water and handed it to Su Chengqi, and then poured another bowl for himself.

"The origin of kapok, I'm just guessing. Maybe she is not from the county family, after all, there are not a few people who throw baby girls. ”

…………

Su Chengqi looked at the sleeping kapok, a female doll of more than a month, and couldn't see anything for the time being.

"What? Can you see the flowers? Su Li asked his son.

"If it's okay, I just wondered if I could find her father and mother through my facial features."

Su Li squinted and struggled to thread the needle and thread, twisting and knotting, "It's not that you want to stay, you want to send it back?" ”

Su Chengqi shook his head, he didn't plan to reveal the origin of the kapok, since the people over there didn't come to look for it, then don't make any more trouble. Even if you send it back, you may be thrown out again.

"I'm just curious. Since it was thrown out, why did you send it back and ask for trouble. "If you don't have good eyes, don't get any more needles and threads."

Su Li snorted, "Don't you raise it?" He couldn't help but smile as he spoke, and continued to do his work.

During this period of time, he was coaxed and spoiled by San'er, and the meat was not raised, but the temper was raised. She hadn't been so impulsive before.

"Incense~Ah! This chicken soup is so delicious! Standing up with his hands on the wooden board, Su Chengqi said, "I'll go and serve you chicken soup." ”

The four chicks sent by Li Dan were raised by Su Lingyu. It was too tiring to harvest rice, so Su Lingyu asked Su Zhang's family to kill a chicken to make up for everyone.

This is just a saying, but in fact, this rooster is too ferocious, and it crows before dawn, annoying her to sleep. Before the rice harvest, she had been thinking about murdering the rooster, and now that she has a fair and honest excuse, she will naturally not let it go.

The local chicken is already fragrant, and the local chicken that grew up eating the vegetation cultivated by the spiritual spring and the local chicken that grew up eating the snail head has a stronger fragrance.

Fragrance drifting ten miles is just an exaggeration, but the statement outside the fragrant wall is true. From a distance, Su Chengqi could smell the aroma of chicken soup.

"San'er, what are you doing to eat?" Leaned down into the kitchen and looked into the pot, "Fragrant!" This chicken can come out of the pot, and if you don't pick it up, the meat will be old. ”

Su Chengqi snatched the chopsticks, took the chicken out of the pot, and put it in the clay pot on the side. "It's so heavy! This chicken weighs three pounds. What a fat chicken! ”

"No, the chickens in the family are all free-range, and it is all the credit of San'er that this chicken can grow so fat." Su Zhang picked up some salt and put it in the soup pot. Drain the chicken floating in the noodle soup and set it in a small bowl to stir-fry the chicken.

Su Chengqi picked up San'er on the bench and asked her to get off the ground, "You go outside and wait, this kitchen is too small, I can knock you down if I turn around." ”

At dinner, she had a big chicken leg alone, which aroused the jealousy of Su Chong and Su Shan.

Is the local chicken fragrant? Fragrant. Is local chicken tender? Tender.

Since it's fragrant and good, why can't she eat a big chicken leg in front of her? Su Lingyu asked herself.

It's all because her teeth haven't grown completely, and a small silver tooth can't tear the chicken thigh meat of the big chicken thigh. Looking at Su Chong Su Shan's teeth, a wave of envy rose.

Hold your chin and ask yourself, when will you grow up?
