Yao Runzhi on the side saw a somewhat stagnant atmosphere, and hurriedly introduced, "This is Da Zhuang, the precious grandson of the fifth grandmother, who comes here to study with everyone on weekdays, and he doesn't help me with farm work." ”

The fifth grandmother smiled happily and said quickly, "What kind words did Mr. Yao say, this child's parents died early, and he didn't dislike his slow brain for Mr. Yao, and was willing to teach him with his heart." He has brute strength, and it's not right to help his husband. ”

Yao Tiantian had generally understood the relationship between his uncle and the fifth grandmother's grandchildren from their conversations, this young man named Da Zhuang was a student of his uncle, with a slow brain, but he had strength, and he helped his uncle, a literati who was not productive, to do farm work. And judging from the fifth grandmother's familiarity with the things of this family, I am afraid that she has not helped her uncle cook and laundry CAO housework, and it is estimated that it is common for them to eat together like today.

Thinking about this, Yao Tiantian struggled in her heart, and finally unfolded a big smile, endured the cold in her heart, and took the initiative to say, "Da Zhuang, Brother Da Zhuang, my name is Yao Tiantian, everyone calls me Tianniu, please take care of me in the future." ”

Yao Tiantian's generous greeting, the young man's face suddenly turned even redder, his hands and feet were not released, and he was cramped and couldn't hide behind his grandmother all of a sudden.

When Yao Runzhi saw it, he laughed again, and he started the round with a smile, "Okay, okay, you can play together in the future, and you will slowly get acquainted, now let's sit down and eat." ”

Everyone sat around the table, and the fifth grandmother smiled and brought out lunch, as she said when she came, it was a vegetable dumpling made of cornmeal and fresh wild vegetables, green and golden in the yellowed bamboo strips, which was very beautiful.

Yao Tiantian's eyes were about to glow green, this is a real green, pure natural and pollution-free food, much more genuine than all the organic vegetables that I bought in the supermarket in the previous life and sold dog meat on the head of a sheep. Yao Tiantian's stomach growled, feeling that her eyes were about to burst into flames, she unceremoniously took a dumpling and ate it impatiently.

After eating a vegetable dumpling sweetly, Yao Tiantian suddenly realized that something was wrong, because except for the short boy Da Zhuang who also took a vegetable dumpling and ate it sweetly, the fifth grandmother and uncle were all smiling, but they didn't see them eating vegetable dumplings.

Yao Tiantian stretched out the hand that took the vegetable dumplings again and retracted it quietly, and asked suspiciously, "But the vegetable dumplings are not enough?" ”

"Enough, enough, you can eat." The uncle smiled kindly, pointed to the thin porridge in the bowl in front of him, and said, "It's okay in the afternoon, just eat the porridge." ”

The fifth grandmother echoed and said, "Yes, now that the spring is idle, you don't need to make any effort, grandma can just drink porridge." ”

After listening to their words, Yao Tiantian secretly looked at the thin uncle, only to find that he was not only thin, but also faintly covered with vegetables, and the small half of the fifth grandmother's arm exposed outside the old jacket also seemed to be a little swollen.

Yao Tiantian's heart moved, and she already understood what was going on, from the gurgling stomach of Second Uncle Yang who she met on the road, to the uncle and fifth grandmother who were only willing to drink gruel, these all illustrated a cruel truth. That is: although the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, there are mountains, rivers and fields, but there is no food. It's spring now, and it's the time when the greens and yellows are not harvested, and in order to make up these cornmeal dumplings, I don't know how many meals the fifth grandmother and uncle saved by frugality.

There are mountains, rivers and fields, but there is no food, Yao Tiantian muttered secretly in her heart, it seems that there is really no free lunch in the world, away from the troubles of the previous life, came to the ancient times with beautiful mountains and rivers, and has a blood uncle and a loving fifth grandmother, but everything also has a price, for example, you have to be hungry today.

However, Yao Tiantian cheered up immediately after being a little discouraged, there is nothing to be afraid of, as long as there is land, she is not a native of the original sweet girl, she is a senior white-collar worker who has been working in the current civilization for more than 20 years, and she is a knowledgeable and capable five-good young man, as long as she is willing to work hard, make good use of the following modern agricultural planting technology, and keep the grain here will soon be full.

Yao Tiantian was a little stunned and thought about her thoughts, and the young man Da Zhuang, who had been eating the corn dumplings in a big gulp, slowly stopped his mouth, and the leftover half of the vegetable dumplings in his hand were forced into the hands of the fifth grandmother, and said in a rough voice that was changing his voice, "I'm full, I'll go to the field in the afternoon and plant all the corn as soon as possible." ”

The fifth grandmother stuffed the small half of the vegetable dumplings back into Da Zhuang's hand, and said distressedly, "Grandma can still hold on, you are when you are growing tall, you have been practicing martial arts with Mr. every day recently, and it is necessary to plant corn in the future, but you are only fifteen years old." ”

The fifth grandmother said with a sigh, her eyes were unconsciously red, she quickly picked up her clothes and wiped them, looked up and explained to Yao Tiantian embarrassedly, "When people are old, they love to nag, come, sweet girl, eat another one." As she spoke, she raised her hand and handed over another vegetable dumpling.

Although Yao Tiantian's stomach was still half empty, although this pure green pure natural and pollution-free cornmeal vegetable dumplings were fragrant and hooked her stomach, but this vegetable dumplings seemed to be as heavy as a thousand pounds, Yao Tiantian refused to take it, she pointed to the porridge in her bowl, and said sweetly, "I'm almost full, these porridges are also delicious, I want to taste them too." ”

Yao Tiantian's stomach was shriveled, enduring the incomparable temptation of delicious vegetable dumplings, and quickly turned her attention to another topic, she flashed her big eyes and pretended to be curious and asked, "Grandma said, does Brother Da Zhuang follow his uncle to practice martial arts every day?" ”

Speaking of this topic, Da Zhuang of the dwarf dun was obviously happy, his little face was red with excitement, and he said loudly proudly, "Yes, yes, don't look at Mr. Wen's politeness, but the martial arts he teaches are amazing, and now I can defeat Fusheng and Gouwa by myself." ”

"Uncle can also do martial arts?" Yao Tiantian was also excited, and secretly thought in his heart, this blood uncle, although he is only a village school teacher in this remote mountain village, can be poetic, good at arithmetic and martial arts, wow, I decided that I was really betting on the right treasure to start a new life here, I can really meet a treasure here casually, this time I made a lot of money.

Xu is Yao Tiantian's gaze was too eager, Yao Runzhi's face floated a trace of discomfort, half covering up and explaining, "Da Zhuang just likes to hold Mr. to talk, how can I know any martial arts, but there happens to be a book of fist and foot kung fu, according to the moves in the book to teach you, I myself don't know at all, you are practicing well, you are really a billet of martial arts, follow me I'm afraid it will be delayed." ”

Speaking of these, Yao Runzhi's face showed a real sense of regret, he really felt sorry for Da Zhuang, such a good martial arts seedling, but there was no famous teacher to guide him. Not to mention the famous teacher, there is not even a martial artist around, he really wants to suggest that Da Zhuang find a special master, but there is nowhere to find it, and he is really afraid of delaying his such a good talent with a master who can only say that he can't practice.

Da Zhuang was simple-minded, but he didn't think so far, he heard Mr. praise himself like this, and couldn't help but cautiously put forward a request that had existed in his heart for a long time, "Then, sir, I can now recite and write the three-character scripture, can I not follow them to learn to be pairs and make articles?" Besides, it's time to plant all the crops in the field. ”

As if he had expected Da Zhuang to say this, Yao Runzhi nodded with a smile, "Okay, it's a critical period to plant crops ahead, and Mr. will allow you to plant corn on leave." However, when the farm is slack after autumn, you still have to come to continue your studies and go to school, and you are not allowed to be lazy. ”

Even if it was only a temporary relief, Da Zhuang was happy, and hurriedly said loudly, "I listen to Mr., I listen to Mr. everything." ”

Although the lunch was not too full, let alone eaten well, several people sat together, chatting happily about homely cooking, and it was extremely warm. Compared to the delicacies of the mountains and seas that Yao Tiantian ate when he accompanied the guests in his previous life, this is paradise, Yao Tiantian returned to his east wing with a satisfied and happy smile, and couldn't help but can't take it back with the corners of his mouth upturned.

Whether it is Yao Tiantian who inexplicably crossed over after a hangover, or Xiao Tianniu, who has been wandering around in the hills and mountains for several days, they are all tired, and their bodies and minds need to be exhausted, and even the blood in the capillaries is clamoring to rest. Therefore, as soon as Yao Tiantian's head was touched on the pillow and smelled the warm sunlight on the quilt, she fell asleep in a daze after a while.

Yao Tiantian, who was sleeping in the dark, was woken up by the gurgling sound in her stomach, and she was hungry again! At noon, I just ate a vegetable dumpling with wild vegetables and cornmeal, drank a bowl of gruel that can clear people, and my small appetite was supported and full, these are far from enough, Yao Tiantian's current twelve-year-old body is exactly the time when it needs nutrition to grow the body, and I have been hungry for several meals in a row, how can a vegetable dumpling be hungry.

Yao Tiantian was so hungry that she couldn't do it, she stroked her stomach that was churning and cramping, and had an idea in her heart, Yao Tiantian lifted the quilt, got off the kang crookedly, and tried not to make a sound to pick up her shoes. Then, Yao Tiantian quietly slipped out of the east wing, and she wanted to sneak into the stove room on the west side of the main house without alarming, looking for any food that could satisfy her hunger.
