The two of them dug up all the dead potato seedlings and buried them in the ground! Let it rot in the ground to make fertilizer.

Zhou went to pull a few more tender corns.

Wait for the two of them to wipe the soil on the potatoes and put them in the back basket. Erniu and Zhou Zhu also let them memorize a little meaning. All four baskets were full, and there was only a small half basket left.

Meizi plans to come by herself later. The mothers carried the basket on their backs and went down the hill cautiously. When I came up, I didn't think it was much. When I go down this time, I feel like my calves and stomach when I carry something on my back. can shake. Tsk, this feels so sour.

When the mothers got home, they put down the basket, rested for a while and drank some water. Meizi said to Zhou, and went to the potato field just now.

I just came here once, and I consumed some stamina, so Meizi walked slowly. The most annoying thing is that the leaves of the corn stalks on both sides of the road stick out too long. From time to time, accidentally brushing the skin can leave a red mark and pain.

Meizi walked forward with her hand. All you can hear is the rustling of corn leaves.

"Ahh

Umeko felt a cold sensation in her hands. Raising his hand, he glanced at what turned out to be a green cabbage insect, and immediately frightened Meizi jumped up. The hands were still flicking desperately, and there were screams from time to time.

The cool feeling on your hands is finally gone. Meizi stopped. I felt that all my strength today was gone, and I sat in the middle of the road with my ass, like a wilted little cabbage.

"Trouble let's go."

Meizi hadn't recovered from what had just happened, and suddenly heard such a cold male voice. Immediately I was taken aback again.

Meizi turned her head to see the person who spoke. Suddenly a little bit of a gnashing of teeth.

"You don't have a sound when you walk, you're going to scare people to death?"

The man just saw the little woman suddenly exclaimed. He shook his hands desperately. When I saw clearly that it was a cabbage worm that was thrown to the ground, I suddenly wanted to laugh. But thinking of Zhu Shaoyang and the little woman in front of him that day, his heart was cold again.

Looking at the little woman sitting in the middle of the road, naturally there was no good breath.

"You didn't hear such a loud voice, do you blame me? Scold. ”

Listening to the tone of the man's voice, Meizi suddenly felt disgusted.

Turning his head indifferently, he stood up and climbed up the slope.

Go to the outer edge of your own land and walk inside by picking up the corn leaves that are blocking the way with your hands.

The man who followed behind saw the little woman's indifferent look. I felt full of irritability and unwillingness. Standing where the plum disappeared, a pair of dark eyes stared deeply at the place where the plum disappeared just now. I don't know how long it took, and finally moved away and went up the mountain.

What happened just now was like a pebble falling into the sea in Meizi's heart, and there were no ripples in the water at all, and it was calm and quiet.

After the plum was loaded, he put the basket on his back and walked in the direction of home. At this time, the people working in the fields were also walking in the direction of home.

Some familiar people. inquired about Meizi's family opening a store to do business, and naturally some people were curious.

Why did the He family suddenly have so much money to open a shop this Tuesday.

At that time, Meizi's family only said to the people in the village that the shop was rented

It was not revealed that the shop had been bought by the family.

As the old saying goes, good money doesn't leak out. Lest someone with a heart make up something blindly.

Meizi roughly talked to everyone. There was nothing curious about it, and there was nothing to ask.

Meizi carried the potatoes home, and when she got home, Zhou almost finished the meal.

Zhou picked up the small potatoes, washed them and peeled them. Put oil in the pan. Pour in the potatoes and fry them slowly over low heat. Flip it over with a spatula from time to time. Wait until both sides are golden and fished out.

Sprinkle some chopped green onions, chili flakes, sesame seeds, and salt to mix well and be crispy and refreshing.

I picked a few more peppers in the vegetable patch. Cut into hobs, beat a few eggs and mix well, pour oil into the pot, wait for the oil temperature to rise, and pour the mixed egg peppers into the pot. One side is golden and the other is being flipped to the other. Sprinkle some salt and it's out of the pan.

pickled a small cucumber again and steamed the nest.

Served in the evening.

On Tuesday, the river had already returned when the plum went to the field. When he came back, he went around the fields.

Although now it's time to open a shop. But Tuesday River felt that the crops were still eating the land, and they had to serve well, for fear that something would go wrong.

After eating, the family discussed the things in the store.

Today, the tables, chairs, and benches are all complete. Dishes and chopsticks were also delivered. Tomorrow I'll get the things in order. If you're buying some firecrackers or something, you'll be able to open the store as soon as it's lively.

The day to find someone to see is set the day before the Dragon Boat Festival.

On the fourth day of the fifth month, the pleasant house is open.

Tomorrow is suitable for the stove. There is only this day in the past few days, and tomorrow I will go to the county seat to cook a meal for the family, and it will be done.

It is estimated that the uncle's family will have to be. And grandma, please come over. Opening a store is such a big thing in the countryside.

After the family discussed.

Zhou led the plum. Put up the duvet covers that I made the other day. I also took some grain that was easy to store.

The two of them were busy for most of the night. Then I went to wash up and rest.

The next day. The sky was gray and hazy. On Tuesday, the river family set off early, bringing a bit more things. For example, firewood. There are also quilt covers. A change of clothes for the family. There are also some potatoes, corn and things that are easy to store.

Tuesday River took advantage of the time when Zhou and Mei Ziniang were tidying up their things last night. So he went to the village and rented an ox cart for the oxen. This morning, the uncle who drove the cattle parked the ox cart at the door of Meizi's house.

It's also a lot more convenient, so you don't have to carry too many things. Not only does it take time, but it also takes a lot of effort.

The ox cart left the village. It didn't take long. From a distance, I saw a tall and straight figure, dimly unable to see who was walking in front of me!

When the ox cart walked in, the walking man heard the sound of the cow bell behind him and turned around. The man in front of him saw it clearly.

Meizi looked at the man and rolled her eyes angrily.

Just listen to Tuesday River's warm greeting.

"Virtuous nephew, go so early! Come on, there's still a place to sit on this ox cart. ”

Peace changed shifts yesterday. Just go to the morning shift today, it turns out that most of the time I go to the county seat is walking.

Peace feels that in the morning not only the air is fresh, but also exercised. The main thing is to be quiet by yourself, and there is something to think about while walking.

It was just Tuesday when Uncle called himself. It was meant to be refused. But when he looked at Zhou Erhe and spoke, the corner of his eye still unconsciously glanced at the little girl. It was this glance that brought the words that brought peace to his lips and turned a corner.

"Then thank you, Uncle Tuesday. And Aunt Tuesday too. ”

It is impossible for Zhou to not mind at all in his heart about the previous time. So looking at peace is not as enthusiastic as the previous times. only responded lightly.

Peace naturally did not notice. His whole body and mind were staring at Meizi's side.
