The two were discussing, it was already dark outside, and the Jiang family had just returned by moonlight, and they all looked a little tired, but they were still in good spirits.

"Why are you so busy so late?" Jia said with a smile.

Aunt Chunhua waved her hand, "I want to make the weather cool and cut a little longer." ”

Lin Zhun leaned all the farm tools at home against the wall and put them on the side of the gate, Lin Zhun helped Sister Qiu set up the wooden table and pestle in the courtyard, and Da Yin was busy serving the meal.

Lin did smell the aroma of the pancakes first, laughed and said, "Just smelling this smell makes me drool!" It's not polite to talk about it, so I picked up a piece and bit it hard, nodded and praised: "It's delicious!" Fragrant! ”

Dayin took the bamboo basket and distributed the pancakes to everyone, and put the bamboo basket in the middle of the wooden table, so that the people who had eaten the pancakes could eat the pancakes again, and when he sat down, he said loudly: "It's the pancakes fried by Sister Qiu!" ”

"You know everything!" Aunt Chunhua smiled and said, "Did you steal pancakes before?" ”

Dayin hurriedly denied it, shaking his head like a wave drum, "No, no, it was Sister Qiu who asked me to taste it, so I ate a piece!" ”

There was another burst of laughter.

Dinner is not as much as lunch, and pancakes are the main dish, accompanied by congee and side dishes.

Aunt Chunhua took a bite of the pancake and asked, "Do you add red eggs to the noodles?" I ate it with the smell of red eggs. Seeing that Sister Qiu nodded, Aunt Chunhua felt a little sad in her heart, Sister Qiu's family didn't raise chickens, and they paid for the flowers to buy a red egg, and their family said that they provided vegetables and noodles, but they still took advantage of others.

Sister Qiu is also thinking about this problem, there is such a big yard at home, and so many bean dregs are produced every day, all of which are excellent chicken feed, and it is a waste not to raise chickens.

seemed to see Sister Qiu's thoughts, Lin Zhun smiled and said: "The day before yesterday, I ran into Yongshan, he said that his mother thought that there were too many chickens in the house, and he had to eat food if he didn't lay eggs when it was hot, and wanted to sell a few old hens, all of which were chicken babies held in the spring last year. ”

Jia Shi smiled and said: "This thing is good, Dazhun is really a caring child, Sister Qiu and I just want to feed the chickens!" ”

Aunt Chunhua also nodded, "Chickens don't lay eggs on hot days, and it's good to stay cool in autumn." At that time, you will eat red eggs, and you will not have to spend any money to buy them. ”

The Jiang family who ate a meal was very satisfied, and couldn't stop praising Sister Qiu's delicious pancakes, Sister Qiu looked at Lin Zhun with a smile, and looked at him with a smile, looking at himself, his expression was soft, satisfied and happy, so he felt at ease and said: "Don't keep praising me, my mother's fried dishes are also delicious!" ”

"Yes, yes!" Lin did clapped his hands with Chunhua and laughed, "Sister-in-law's dishes are also delicious!" ”

Dayin pulled Sister Qiu and said, "Sister Qiu, tomorrow I will go with the donkey to pick up wheat, will you go?" ”

In the process of harvesting and transporting wheat, there will always be scattered and lost, and when the farm is busy, the children and the elderly who can't help in the fields, or the young people who have little land at home, will all carry bamboo baskets to pick up wheat, which can increase the harvest for the family

。

Sister Qiu thought about it, there should be nothing to do in the morning, she just had to rush home at noon to help Jia cook rice. She remembered that when she was very young, she followed her cousin to pick up wheat, and at that time she could use wheat to pay for tuition, and her cousin picked up day and night, and actually saved a small 100 catties of wheat, so she didn't have to pay tuition for a semester.

The people in the village all praised this lady for being powerful and able to do it. It seems that Sister Qiu is just that her cousin's parents are not willing to pay for her to study for a girl, and if she wants to study, she can only rely on herself. After so many years, Sister Qiu can't remember the appearance of her cousin clearly, but she heard from relatives that her cousin's life is good, and she thinks that she is also such a strong lady, how can she manage her own life well.

Now this autumn sister has all the inputs every day, in fact, there is no need to pick up wheat, a city of acres of land will also hit two or three hundred pounds of wheat, the villagers in their own fields to rake and fish several times, the wheat that leaks the net is very few, unlike the 21st century like a city of acres of underground thousands of pounds of wheat, wheat is also easy to pick a little. It's just that Sister Qiu still wants to relive her childhood time, the kind of joy and joy that picked up a wheat head in the field, nothing can compare to it.

"Go, you'll call me then!" Sister Qiu preached happily.

The next day, when the big seal came to call Sister Qiu to go out, Jia Shi turned out a broken reed hat for Sister Qiu, put it on Sister Qiu's head, and wrapped a silk handkerchief on Sister Qiu's head.

The donkey carried a bamboo basket and waited at the entrance of the village, and the half-grown children happily walked all the way to see, for fear of missing a wheat head that fell on the ground, and Sister Qiu also met a few children from the same village to pick up wheat, and saw them picking on this road, and the children headed by the other side took people to other places to pick.

"It's quite a bit of a terrestrial idea!" Sister Qiu couldn't help but think.

After leaving, for an hour, all the bamboo baskets of the servants had picked fifty or sixty wheat heads, which could be regarded as covering the bottom of the bamboo baskets. When passing through the boundary of the Mei family, Sister Qiu saw Aunt Mei standing in the shade of a tree, talking to a few resting women beside her.

She wore a hat on her head and a silk handkerchief around her face, and no one recognized her when she approached.

A woman standing next to Aunt Mei said with a smile: "Did your sister-in-law and niece go to deliver food to Lin Qu's house yesterday at noon?" I heard from several people that your niece is very good at cooking, and the cooking is very delicious! Whoever marries her in the future will be blessed! ”

Sister Qiu couldn't help but bend the corners of her mouth, she still remembered, a few months ago, she was still the "mother worm" that no one wanted, the donkey mother heard that the old willow was intending to marry, and she was in a hurry to use all her wrists, and she was almost in a hurry to hang herself.

In fact, it is not a matter of good craftsmanship at all, and can cook two dishes, Sister Qiu thought that the main thing to see when the Zhuang family marries a daughter-in-law is whether they can do it, whether the mother's family has money or not, and good cooking skills are just the icing on the cake, not a necessary condition.

She became fragrant and gluttonous, probably because of the prosperity of the family's small idea, which made the people in the village red, she is the only daughter of the Jia family, and the amount of money Jia earns is all hers, so ...... Her "market" has become better.

When Aunt Mei heard the woman's words, her face was a little unpleasant, obviously they were a family with Jia's and Sister Qiu, but Jia's and Sister Qiu were delivering food to outsiders, isn't this a slap in the face!

"A little girl, the rice spoon can't be carried steadily, what delicious food can be made?" Second Aunt Mei crooked her mouth and said, "A group of people are foolish, you also believe it!" He emphasized, "I haven't seen Sister Qiu cook." ”

A few women on the side laughed, who doesn't know about the things of the Lao Mei family, maybe they are not willing to cook for you!

"Eh, I'm telling you to see the joke!" Second Aunt Mei pretended to sigh, "My eldest sister-in-law and niece are afraid that they hate us in their hearts, and they send water tofu and vegetables to everyone who is not, and they just ignore my parents-in-law." You see, this time I went to deliver food to the Jiang family again, eh, you don't know, I was angry with my grandmother last night...... Let me tell you, I saw that my eldest sister-in-law was wrong, and I definitely wanted to go again. ”

"No, you can't!" One of the women hurriedly shook her head, "If Mrs. Old Xiucai marries again, what will Sister Qiu do?" ”

Second Aunt Mei straightened her stomach and crooked her mouth, her expression seemed to know how much she knew the inside story, and said: "It's just more mouths to eat, she earns so much money a day, and there are a sea of people who want to marry her, who cares about those chews?" Compared to what she earns, Sister Qiu eats this! Second Aunt Mei stretched out her little finger and looked down.

Dayin and the donkey were picking up wheat in the field next to them, not in front of Sister Qiu, Sister Qiu listened to Aunt Mei'er's words and felt her face twitch, so she simply took off her hat and silk handkerchief, and walked towards Aunt Mei.

Because of this, Aunt Mei was facing away from her, and when she walked over, several women next to Aunt Mei desperately glanced at Aunt Mei, but Aunt Mei still didn't notice anything, and the spittle and stars splashed to analyze that Jia's iron must have the heart to go to the second family.

Second Aunt Mei was actually not stupid enough to be that part, but she still looked at the eyes handed to her by the daughter-in-law next to her, as well as the embarrassed expressions of several people, suddenly stopped her mouth, hurriedly turned her face, and looked at Sister Qiu looking at her with a smile.

It's okay to tell bad things about people and pass on 8 hexagrams, but the premise is that you can't catch the person in charge! No matter how thick-skinned Aunt Mei'er was, she couldn't hold it anymore at the moment, so she looked at Sister Qiu and said with a smile: "Sister Qiu, what are you doing on this hot day?" He looked down again at the bamboo basket on Sister Qiu's arm, and as if she had nothing to say, she said, "Come out to pick wheat?" Hehe, it's good to pick up wheat, pick up more ......"

Sister Qiu waved her hand to interrupt Aunt Mei'er's words, looked at Aunt Mei and said, "Isn't Fang Cai talking very energetically? Why don't you talk about it? Go on, and I'll hear it too. ”

"Didn't say anything, Sister Qiu, did you just hear it?" Aunt Mei'er rolled her eyes, and she didn't admit it.

Sister Qiu almost didn't

She smiled angrily, and her face was thick enough! Is it true that the family does not enter the door, Mei Tang and his wife and children are all scoundrels, it is naturally unwise to talk to an unreasonable pregnant woman, and Sister Qiu is also lazy to talk to Mei's second aunt.

"I'll tell you ugly things ahead, the second aunt still takes care of her own mouth, and the trouble of the province comes from the mouth." Sister Qiu had a smile on her face, and her words were not polite, "I have never seen such a disgusting person as you." Spread rumors about his widowed sister-in-law, and he is not afraid of retribution! ”
