"I'm going to eat it again!" Xiao Xu smiled and chanted his sermon.

Sister Qiu rubbed all the remaining oats to Xiao Xu, and asked, "Have you ever eaten roasted oats?" ”

Xiao Xu shook his head, chewed on the oat kernels, and looked at Sister Qiu.

"Later, let's ask Brother Zhun for a few oatmeal heads, and roast oatmeal heads in the rice stove when cooking at noon, which is delicious." Sister Qiu said with a smile.

When the sun was about to rise, Aunt Chunhua called out to Lin Cheng and a few people, saying that they would take a break and go home for dinner first, and then work in the afternoon.

Lin Cheng responded with a few mouths, and his hands sped up even more, striving to cut a few more handfuls of small oats in the morning. It was Aunt Chunhua who screamed again with a tiger face, and Lin did come out of the oatmeal field with a scythe with a smile, and shouted to Lin Zhun and Dayin, shouting: "Don't hurry up, make your mother angry!" ”

Aunt Chunhua couldn't help but laugh, and said crookedly: "My kid doesn't make me angry!" ”

Xiao Xu pulled Aunt Chunhua's clothes on the side and said, "Auntie, I want to eat roasted oatmeal!" ”

"It's not easy to eat!" Aunt Chunhua said with a smile, and pinched a large bundle of oats on the head of the pile of oats on the ground.

Sister Qiu hurriedly smiled and blocked Aunt Chunhua, "Auntie, just take a few for him to satisfy his hunger, or there are so many." "Which family takes a big hug of small oats for the children to roast oats to eat, don't people poke the back of the field and scold the loser!

"Will that be enough?" Aunt Chunhua said with a smile.

Sister Qiu took the oat head in Aunt Chunhua's arms, put it back into the ground, and only picked up four or five oat heads and held it, "Enough, how much can he eat?" Let's eat fresh, and eat at noon! ”

A few people first took the ban'er car brought by Sister Qiu to go back, Lin Laosu smiled and said that he would stay in the field to look at the little oats first, and wait for Lin to go back to pull the ban'er car back and pull the little oats and then go back.

A lot of villagers saw that Chunhua's family was planning to go home, and Qi Shushu asked with a smile: "Chunhua, why do you go home soon?" Don't do it? ”

"Quit!" Chunhua smiled and said, "Isn't this a guest at home, go home to cook, and come to cut the little oats when it is cool in the afternoon!" ”

Don't need her to say, the people in the village all know where the guest she is talking about is, looking at the spring flowers and Lin Que's eyes are envious, people have two good boys who are literate and literate, not to mention, but also have a good relationship with Yan Yuanwaili Niangzi, when the workshop starts, Lin is indeed the big boss, this has not yet started, the people in the village all respect him, and they are afraid that they will not get a good relationship and do not go into the workshop to work alone.

When they got home, a few people simply washed it, Aunt Chunhua took a few silk handkerchiefs on the rope in the yard, and handed them to Lin Cheng and Dazhun and a few of them, Sister Qiu took the silk handkerchief, first slapped Xiao Xu's body, patted a lot of dust, and patted her own body, and finally pulled Xiao Xu to wash her hands in the basin.

In the well were whole chickens and whole river fish brought back from the wedding banquet yesterday, as well as a lot of meat and vegetables, and dry food was also ready-made, hanging in bamboo baskets on the beams of the hall.

Lin Zhun and Dayin worked together to remove the vegetables from the well

Proposed, and two large buckets of water were fought, and the water of the newly filled deep well was cold, and Nasi Pa soaked it in water and pasted it on his face, which was extraordinarily refreshing and refreshing, and it was very comfortable for people who had been basking in the sun for most of the day.

"Comfortable!" Lin Cheng sighed, wiped off the silk handkerchief on his face, threw it back into the basin, pulled up the cart in the corner of the yard, and said with a smile: "Chunhua, I'm going to pull small oats in the field, you can cook." ”

Chunhua answered in the small kitchen, Lin Zhun just brought the food to the small kitchen, came out to look at Lin Zhen, and immediately said, "Father, I'll go with you." ”

"No, you don't have to, there's still your grandfather in the field!" Lin Cheng shook his hand while putting a rope on his body, squeezed his eyebrows at the kid, and pointed to Sister Qiu, who was looking at Xiaoxu washing her face, and said, "You can just take the guests to play!" ”

Lin Zhun blushed slightly, and looked at his father smiling and pulling the car out.

In the small kitchen, Aunt Chunhua has already quickly lit the fire, filled the water into the iron pot, sprinkled a handful of rice, put the vegetables and dry food on the grate, and covered the big pot lid, this is the common cooking method of crop households, burn the pot for a while, the steamed dry food and vegetables are all hot, pick up the dry food and vegetables out of the pot, and then burn the fire, the japonica rice porridge boiled in the pot is also good, saving time and dry firewood.

"Roasted oats!" Xiao Xu pulled Sister Qiu's palm and urged.

Lin Zhun smiled and took a few oatmeal heads brought back by Sister Qiu into the small kitchen, Xiao Xu also followed with novelty, and saw that Lin Zhun used fire tongs to put the oat heads into the rice stove, and put them on the fire to roast, the oat stalks and oatmeal tips burned into ashes very quickly, very quickly, Lin Zhun took out the fire tongs again, and brought the blackened oatmeal heads at the top of the fire tongs, and rolled back and forth in the palm of his hand, waiting for it to be less hot, Lin Zhun rubbed it in his hand, crushed the blackened oat husk, and blew it gently, In the palm of his hand, only the roasted brown oatmeal kernels remained, diffusing the aroma.

Xiao Xu took the oat grains, the oats were still a little hot in the palm of his hand, a wisp of brain was stuffed into his mouth, chewed a few times and swallowed, he felt that it was not enjoyable, and he ate all the remaining roasted oats, and then said with a smile: "It's better than oat kernels!" ”

Sister Qiu flicked his brain, she was really a greedy snack.

Da Yin ran from the backyard and said to Sister Qiu and Xiao Xu: "There are berries on the tree behind the tree, let's go and have enough!" ”

"Enough" is also a dialect in this area of Xiaohe Town, which means to pick things up from below.

Lin Zhun turned his head to look at the backyard when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Cooked?" I looked at it two days ago and it was still blue, and our mother said that there were ripe ones a few days ago, and they were all enough for the leather boys in the back. "It's really familiar, if it's not for a long leaning, it's not allowed to let people go." Dayin said with a smile, found a long wooden stick, tied the handle of the sickle to the wooden stick, and took a few people to the backyard under the tree.

In a few moments, the big seal was enough to get down more than a dozen red and bright peaches, several of which were ripe, even if they fell on the pocketcloth, they would not fall well, and the red juice was dyed red

A cyan apron.

"Do you want to eat it straight?" Xiao Xu picked up a peach in a new way.

Sister Qiu also took one, wiped it with her hand casually, and then bit the red flesh on the peach, her mouth was full of sweet taste, with a little sour, and said to Xiao Xu with a smile: "Eat only this red one, don't eat the rest." ”

Xiao Xu also learned from Sister Qiu's appearance and ate it, and narrowed her eyes with a smile, "It's so sweet, it's all sweeter than sugar water!" ”

"How come I haven't seen such delicious berries in town?" Xiao Xu asked.

Sister Qiu shook her head, "I don't know either." She had also visited other places, and rarely saw such trees, unlike here in Little River Town, where there is a tree in the courtyard or on the side of almost every house, and the grass pigs and sheep all like to eat the leaves of the tree, and the berries of the tree are very popular with children.

After Lin and Lin Lao Su brought back a cart full of small oats, Aunt Chunhua's lunch was ready, and a dining table and a pestle were placed under the shade of the trees in the courtyard, and the meal was put on the table.

Probably because he was tired and had to work in the afternoon, Lin did have a few glasses of wine with Lin Laosuo, and even Aunt Chunhua had a cup. After eating, Lin Laosu lay down on the kang to rest, he was old, and he had done a morning's work, and his energy was not as good as Lin Cheng's young and middle-aged people.

It didn't take long for Jia Shi to come over, and to everyone's surprise, not only did she come, but even Yan Yuanwai also wore a homely short coat and coarse cloth pants, and wore a torn reed hat and came over.

Sister Qiu smiled, she felt that this was right, where was the newlyweds not as glued.

Seeing everyone smiling at her, Jia Shi blushed and explained: "I originally came by myself, and he said that he had nothing to do at home...... and then found that the more he explained, the more he didn't take things like that, so he simply shut up and didn't squeak, all of them were his own acquaintances, and there was nothing bad to think about.

The beans were soaked in the morning before dawn by Aunt Chunhua, and the work was already soaked, and Lin did put the big ash on the grinding plate, blindfolded, and drove the big ash to turn around and grind.

Yan Yuanwai has a big iron spoon in his left palm, a small cooking broom in his right palm, and the iron spoon is used to scoop the beans in the bucket and pour them into the hole of the grinding plate, and the broom is used to sweep the beans that have not fallen into the hole.

Waiting for the bean juice to be ordered, Yan Yuanwai helped carry the water tofu to the courtyard to suppress it, from beginning to end Jia Shi asked him to do whatever he wanted, his arms and legs were diligent and quick, and it was definitely not the performance of the kind of person who did not eat the fireworks of the world.

When the water tofu was suppressed outside, Jia Shi and Aunt Chunhua were brushing the pot in the small kitchen, Lin did and Lin Laosu accompanied Yan Yuan to talk outside, and Lin Zhun took Sister Qiu and a few children to play in the gutter.

Aunt Chunhua asked softly while brushing the pot, "How is he doing to you?" ”

Jia Shi blushed and whispered, "It's good." ”

"And when did you go up last night?" Aunt Chunhua squeezed her eyes narrowly, stretched out her palm and pounded Jia's family.

Jia's face was red to the base of his neck, and he raised his palm to pin a strand of broken hair behind his ear, and said, "I know what you want to ask...... Not you

Thinking so, we talked for half the night last night before we went to sleep. He told me about his previous affairs, Ma Xuelan's affairs, he didn't want to hide it from me, he just didn't want to mention it, he felt embarrassed and embarrassed when he mentioned it, so he didn't have any letter from her for many years, Qingshan had already been gone when she was gone, and he didn't think that she was coming back, and even if he came back, he wouldn't ignore her. ”

Aunt Chunhua nodded, "It's like this, no man can withstand it, it hurts people's face, and he doesn't want to mention it." He is good to you, so Ma Xuelan can't expose any storms. After another pause, he said: "We all guessed, then Ma Xuelan came back because her concubine didn't want her, and it was shameless enough to think about Yan Yuan coming from outside!" Who of us can do this, I was ashamed to jump into the well and die! She also desperately shouted Xiao Xu, for fear that Xiao Xu, who was unknown to others, had such an ugly mother-like mother, eh, if she was a pro-child child, she shouldn't come to make trouble. ”

"That's what I thought, too." Jia Shi sighed and said, "If she comes to Qingshan and tells Qingshan that Qingshan is determined to give them the money for the three of them to eat, I won't stop her, but she makes trouble like this, just thinking about why she wants me to lose face, how to force Qingshan to recognize her in front of so many people, I just don't want to Xiaoxu, now everyone knows that Xiaoxu has such a mother, what do people think of him?" Xiaoxu is still a 7-year-old child, and he has returned the name of the school examination to the future...... When I think about it, I feel angry in my heart, it's her own child, why don't you feel sorry for the child? rushed to her virtue, I can't ask for her benefits! ”

Aunt Chunhua encouraged: "That's right! I was scared yesterday, I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to think about it, so I took Sister Qiu and left, it was inconvenient to cheap the shameless Ma Xuelan! ”

Jia Shi shook his head with a smile, "Where will it be!" At that time, she may have taken Sister Qiu away in shame, but now she won't, this is her family, a family that will bring her a happy and happy life, as the heroine of this family, she will defend her home like a lioness, her husband, her two children, if Ma Xuelan dares to come again, she will dare to cut it with a kitchen knife.

When the water tofu was pressed, the two girlfriends also finished talking in their private rooms, and there were already a lot of men waiting to pick up the water tofu in the courtyard, all of whom didn't expect Yan Yuanwai to be there, and they were talking to the big guys in a harmonious manner, and for a while, the atmosphere in the courtyard was also active.

Aunt Mei next door listened to Lin Quyuan'er's speech, and looked at Lin Qu's gate a few times with great novelty, and saw that it was Yan Yuan's appearance, so she was scared and ran away immediately.

Lin is responsible for the distribution of water tofu, cut and weigh and record the amount of water tofu that each person distributes, he followed Lin Zhun also recognized a lot of words, "Rong, 86" means that Darong has been divided into 80 six catties of water tofu, and when he comes to pick up water tofu tomorrow, he will have to pay 80 six copper plates as the money to buy water tofu today.

After everyone had divided the water tofu and picked it up, Lin Cheng also carried the burden and was ready to sell the water tofu on the road. Near the point of dinner, Jia Shi and Yan Yuanwai refused to leave Chunhua for dinner

Kindly, I took Sister Qiu and Xiaoxu back to the town.

Lin Qu's family sent Yan Yuanwai and others to the entrance of the village, and saw the big ash pulling the car away, Lin Qu said to the family: "Let's all go back, the little oats in the field will be cut tomorrow, and it will be too late." ”

Lin Zhun took the burden on La's shoulders and said with a smile: "I'll send my father a road." He picked a few more moments, and Lin did clear up a little more.

"Good boy." Lin Cheng said with a smile, after the two walked for a while, on the slightly quiet country road, Lin Cheng suddenly said: "Da Zhun, you are also an outsider, a man, like a Yan outsider, be a real man!" I tightened my pants with your mother for you to study with Dayin, but I don't want you to be an ordinary person like your Uncle Mei. ”
