Chapter Twenty-Three: Mushrooms

Looking out in a daze, the sky had just dawned, and I didn't know what time it was, but it was certainly not yet dawn.

Li shouted outside with a sharp voice, and Xu Wenlan was not the only one who woke up.

Bai Yingkui reached out in a daze and pulled the Zhu family who was getting up in his clothes: "Isn't the third family on duty today?" ”

The three daughters-in-law take turns cooking, and there is a division of labor every day.

Zhu didn't say much, just pulled the quilt: "You sleep!" I'm going to help the handle. ”

Zhu was together, and Bai Shengwen also felt out of the quilt, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and whispered: "Mother, I'll go with you." ”

Zhu stretched out his hand to stop him, but Bai Shengwen had already gotten up and slipped directly to the ground.

"This kid ......" snorted, and Zhu got dressed and went to the ground.

didn't rush out, first folded the quilt one by one, and when he lowered his head, he saw Xu Wenlan squinting, and smiled: "Don't get up!" Sleep a little longer, and you will follow when the second treasure rises. ”

Nodding, Xu Wenlan didn't say anything, and as soon as Zhu came out of the back room, he got up.

Zhu felt sorry for her and asked her to sleep more, but she couldn't be so arrogant, even Bai Shengwen got up to help, how could she sleep again?

When Xu Wenlan got dressed and walked out of the house, Bai Shengwen entered the door with a bucket.

As soon as he saw Xu Wenlan, he was stunned: "What are you doing when you get up?" Sleep again! ”

Xu Wenlan smiled and shook her head, reaching out to pick up the bucket, but Bai Shengwen avoided saying anything and didn't let her take over.

Pour half a bucket of water into the pot first, and then bend down to light the fire again: "You don't have to do anythingβ€”ah, or else, you just watch the fire......"

Leaning on the side of the stove, Xu Wenlan stared at the water in the pot.

There was still ice slag floating in the water that had just been poured into it. In the winter, the fire on the stove is extinguished at night, although there is still residual temperature on the kang, but the temperature in the stove room is very low, and there is thin ice floating in the water tank in the morning.

Thinking wildly, Xu Wenlan first nodded, and then shook his head.

"What do I have to look at, I'll go outside with you to help."

Looking at Xu Wenlan, Bai Shengwen smiled and didn't insist.

As soon as he got out of the house, a cold wind choked his lungs, Xu Wenlan exhaled and couldn't help but hug his arms tightly.

The lights were on in the second room in the west chamber, but the lights were dark in the main room, Li stood in the courtyard, staring at the dark lights in the third room in the west chamber, and waited until the door of the third room opened, then he snorted coldly and twisted into the main room.

"Milk ......" watched Li go back to the house, and the half-screaming white belt brother pursed his lips and snorted angrily.

Bai Shengwen was not surprised when he didn't see the Fang family coming out of the house, but just stepped forward and said, "Sister, I'll help you chop pig food." ”

Brother Bai didn't say anything at first, and when he looked up and saw Xu Wenlan, his face sank: "What is she doing?" I don't dare to use your help, so I won't have to worry about it again......"

This girl is really talking hard!

snorted twice in her heart, but Xu Wenlan still showed a smile on her face: "Sister, I will help you too." ”

She knew why she was on duty in the third room, but the Zhu family still came in early in the morning and was busy.

The work of daring to love the three rooms is really done by the white brother.

Although Brother Bai is the eldest sister in the third generation of the Bai family, no matter how old she is, she is only thirteen, which has to be put on hold in modern times, I am afraid that she has not even touched a spatula, but this year she can already cook a family of more than a dozen people.

Xu Wenlan smiled closely, but the white brother didn't look like he was appreciative, and he didn't talk to them, so he turned around and went to the warehouse.

Since he wants to get along with Bai Dai's brother, Xu Wenlan didn't take it to heart when he was so cold, and he didn't wait for Bai Shengwen to speak, so he followed first.

Bai Shengwen blinked, did not follow, but went to the cow and horse shed, forked the hay to feed the cattle and horses.

Xu Wenlan is the first time to enter the warehouse in the northeast countryside, at this time the sky is not yet bright, and there is no light in the warehouse, as soon as she enters the door, it is like a blind eye, nothing can be seen, or the white brother touched the flint and light the lamp, she saw clearly what was in the warehouse.

Before I saw anything else, I saw the skewers hanging on the four walls, corn cobs and red peppers, with bright colors, and they really looked like paintings.

Bags of grain, I don't know if it's rice, noodles or what, piled up in one place, and there are more than a dozen large vats, and I don't know what is in it.

In the winter of the Northeast, it is a natural refrigerator, no matter what you put it, it can be stored until the beginning of spring.

After taking two steps, his head touched the hanging basket, Xu Wenlan held the basket, and looked curiously, there were small fruits inside, the peels of which had been dried, like heavy yarn.

This Xu Wenlan recognized it at a glance: "Ah, this is a mushroom, right?" ”

Homonym "girl", this thing, it was spread on the Internet for a while, there are many southern people who have never seen it, as a great fruit, but for northerners, this is a common snack in summer, and it is also a toy.

When the mushroom is not ripe and is still green, it is pulled off and pierced in the mouth, slowly squeezed out the seeds inside, rinsed with water, put it in the mouth and bite, just like whistling.

Before Xu Wenlan could reach out to take one, Brother Bai Dai had already snorted coldly: "This warehouse thing, don't move around, you know where to put the mouse medicine!" ”

As soon as Brother Bai Dai said, Xu Wenlan's hand couldn't reach out, and she was a little embarrassed, seeing Brother Bai Dai take out a ball of dried vegetables from a bag, she hurriedly went over to help.

When I grabbed it, I realized that it wasn't a dish, well, it was probably a dish, and she had seen this thing when she was a child.

Gray cabbage, not to mention the wild, under the trees and grass by the ditch in small cities, can be seen everywhere, it seems to be able to feed ducks, I heard that some people also eat this wild vegetable, but Xu Wenlan has never eaten it, just looking at the powder that fell off at the touch on the gray cabbage, she didn't dare to eat it.

Seeing Xu Wenlan staring, the white belt brother rolled his eyelids: "Don't know? yes, where do you young ladies know this......"

"Gray cabbage-" Cutting off the words of the white belt, Xu Wenlan said with a smile: "I know." ”

Brother Bai blinked, snorted, ignored Xu Wenlan, loaded a small half basket of dried gray cabbage, and carried half a bag of unknown things, and was about to go out.

"Sister, I'll take itβ€”" Xu Wenlan reached out to get the bag.

The white belt brother flashed, stared at Xu Wenlan, hesitated, and handed the small basket woven with wicker to Xu Wenlan.

After taking the small bamboo basket, Xu Wenlan was happy.

Brother Bai Dai seemed to be a little unhappy by her laughter, swept his eyes, and snorted: "I'm just afraid that you, the eldest lady, will be sick for a long time and will not have the energy to spill the wheat straw." ”

"Well, I know, my sister just feels sorry for my illness and hasn't recovered yet......" Xu Wenlan muttered to herself.

Brother Bai Belt's hair was furious: "Who feels sorry for you, don't put gold ...... on your face"
