Chapter 289: Mung Bean Soup
Shanshui Village is a big village, so there are three places to dry grain, and each place is not small. But when it came time for the autumn harvest, everyone gathered together. These places are still not enough. Often because of some women
Refusing to back down, wanting to take advantage, with the corners of the mouth or quarreling or the like.
"Hey, Zhou's. Your rice is here again. It's a difference with cows. Look at how fast this is, and how many things you pull, just a small child. It also saves a labor force. The woman who spoke looked at Zhou Zixiong, who was on vacation from farming in the school, leading the cow to transport the rice to the place where the grain was dried.
The one who stayed here to dry the grain today was the Shen family of the big house, and the Shen family was dressed in tatters today, of course, others were similar to her, after all, when doing farm work, wearing good clothes, that is, in the eyes of rural people, you are a unique scenery, not a good thing.
Shen Shi rushed to get the rice on the cow and replied with a smile: "The conditions of my sister-in-law's house are also excellent, and it is not easy to buy a cow. However, the price of a cow is not cheap, and my sister-in-law has always been a good person. Who in this village doesn't praise his sister-in-law for being virtuous. Keeping this money will definitely make the family richer when the time comes, and it will be no problem to buy ten or eight horses when the time comes, let alone cows. ”
These words were definitely flattering, and the woman's expression, which was still envious just now, was immediately praised flutteringly.
Especially that sentence, who in the village doesn't know that her sister-in-law is virtuous, and she is so beautiful that she can't wait for her eyes to grow on her head.
Although he was proud in his heart, he was still polite, "Ouch, Shen, your mouth is really sweet." I ate sugar early in the morning. Hey, it's not my family's mouth, it's straight, stupid and silly. I was sympathetic to his hard work and wanted to buy a cow to help, but my family insisted that the family was busy with the fields. It doesn't count if you buy a cow and wait for it. Hey, I'm in a hurry. ”
This is to tell the people around her, her family is not unable to afford it, but it is just that she does not buy it.
Of course, the woman's condition is also considered to be in the middle and upper class in the village, and everyone has eyes, although they know that she has some water in it, but they also know that her family can indeed afford to buy cattle.
Shen replied casually, and then hurriedly got busy, after all, each family has a small area, and everyone wants to take up a larger area when the rice is dried, and then it will be thinner. It dries quickly. So at this time, the wet ones are sent, and the rice that has been dried before should be thickened and made out of a wet place. This is also to be busy, it seems simple, but it is also quite tiring, under the big sun, to keep turning the rice, so that the sun can dry faster and drier.
"Yo, Little Fuxing is here. Come on, don't let the sun tan your white skin. ”
"Hello aunties. The sun isn't afraid of this, hehe. ”
"Xiaoya, why are you here? Go and stand under the big tree over there, the big tree will provide shade from the sun, and you won't feel uncomfortable. "Shen is very strange to see the girl from the third room coming, after all, according to the mother-in-law's personality, she will not let Xiaoya come here. It's going to get sunburned, but what's the matter? Glancing at this girl's skin, Shen almost couldn't help blushing when she was so old.
"Auntie, come over and rest for a while. The sun is so big, I'm afraid you'll get heat stroke if you get too much sun. So I specially asked Sister Ziyun to boil mung bean soup to let you dissipate your anger, so as not to get sick. "She came to deliver mung bean soup on purpose, and there were also deliveries from the field, but those were too much, and she had already asked her brother to use the cow to bring them over. The aunt here is alone, and the things are not heavy, so she brought them over herself.
