She and Xiaoxiu looked at it and admired it for a while, and said to Liu San that this turtle is actually raised by me for fun. This grows slowly, and we don't know how to feed them, such two small ones, I don't know if they will grow up until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse Month. Put it in the fish pond is also a number, so it proves that there is everything in this pond, fish, shrimp, loach, yellow eel, turtle and turtle, there is no shortage. ”

Xiaoxiu heard her say something funny, and couldn't help laughing, thinking that Liu Sanshun was standing aside, and felt that it was inappropriate, and her face turned red. She quickly glanced at the little fat man, and saw him smiling and pointing out to Chrysanthemum to recognize those fish that she had never seen before, and she didn't pay attention to it, so she put her mind at ease, but for some reason, she felt a little lost in her heart

Liu Sanshun helped Chrysanthemum pour all the fish in the bucket into the fish pond, and in a blink of an eye, these fish that had just been in the same bucket ran away - swimming away.

Sanshun finished releasing the fish, squatted down, and washed the handle in the fish pond.

He looked at the lush melon grass and iris leaves around the fishpond, and the fresh lotus leaves that had just emerged in the middle of the pond—curled into a single one, not yet unfolded, or just unfolded in a narrow one, and the scrolls of the size of the picture slowly extended to both sides, and the whole picture was about to be opened; The water chestnut also sprouted newly, and spread over the water; Green duckweed, the size of a fingernail, floated on all sides, were connected and spread flat on the surface of the water, like a green cloth.

He turned his head and looked up at Chrysanthemum, and said with a smile, Your fish pond is getting more and more beautiful. When the lotus root grows, you can send some for me to taste. ”

Chrysanthemum looked at the lotus leaves in the pond that were not too abundant, and was happy and proud, and nodded to him and said that he was going to clean up this pond at the end of this year, and dig some lotus roots by the way. Last year, there were too few of them, and there were not enough miles of seeds, so I didn't dig them. But in July and August, the lotus root can be eaten, and the lotus root is the most tender at that time. ”

She turned her head to Xiaoxiu again and said Xiaoxiu, let's go to Yuantang to pinch water chestnut vegetables and pick water chestnuts when the time comes. Just sit in a large wooden basin and pick it up. Last year, Meizi and my little sister pinched a lot of water chestnut vegetables and ate them, but you didn't go. ”

She must pick some water chestnuts to cook and eat this year, and she doesn't know who picks the water chestnuts in the pond every year.

It seems that because Liu Sanshun is next to her, Xiaoxiu is very shy, she nodded with a blushing face and said, "You have to remember to call me then." I...... I don't go out much, if you do anything, just call me, my mother knows that I go out with you, and she won't stop me. ”

Chrysanthemum looked at her very shy, and said in her heart, is this her mother in charge, or is she easy to be shy? Anyway, this Xiaoxiu and Xiaocui are both gentle girls, and she likes the two of them very much.

Liu Sanshun was used to seeing the cool and cute appearance, that is, he got closer to the chrysanthemum later, and the chrysanthemum was also generous, he had never been in contact with a gentle and shy girl like Xiaoxiu, and when he saw her blushing, he felt uncomfortable for her, so he didn't dare to talk to her, for fear that she would blush even more with the boy.

He said in his heart, why is Zhou Xiaoman (Xiaoxiu's second brother) so afraid of ugliness?

Sanshun actually sent fish fry as an excuse, but he just wanted to come and see the chrysanthemums. He released the fish, and talked to Chrysanthemum about raising fish a few words, then stood up and said to Chrysanthemum, I am leaving, I can't delay your work. It's almost noon, aren't you? Beware of a headache, as it is hot today. ”

Chrysanthemum smiled and said that it was ready, there was still a little left to be planted. Thank you, Brother Sanshun, for giving you a trip. ”

Liu Sanshun said with a smile, don't get in the way, wait for the plums to ripen in a few days, you and I will eat plums. "He thought about it and said to Xiaoxiu again, Xiaoxiu also came together, my little sister often talks about you."

Xiaoxiu didn't seem to expect him to follow, he was looking at the lotus leaves in the pond, and nodded hurriedly when he heard this, his face was immediately red again, and Sanshun's face was also uncomfortable, and he hurriedly ran away with a bucket.

Chrysanthemum saw it and thought it was interesting, and said in her heart, Xiaoxiu is very no, and Sanshun is not, well, maybe there is a play, Huaizi Niang He pulled the chili seedlings, and planted them in the ground of the house foundation after tearing it. The land is now planted with yams, and some soybeans are planted on the edge of the ditch, and now some peppers are planted in the east and west, which is as nondescript as the land of the chrysanthemum family.

Yang helped her plant together, and the two talked intimately.

He Shi asked in wonder, why did the chrysanthemum sprinkle so many peppers? I see that there is still half a ridge in the field. ”

Yang smiled bitterly and said that she didn't have anything to do, she didn't have a heavy start, a sprinkle is a ridge, where do you want so many miles of vegetable seedlings. ”

He Shi glanced at her happily and said how old she was. The daughters of ordinary people don't know how to care about these things at all, they are all planted by their parents, and chrysanthemums can make their own ideas, which can be seen to be a successful one. Even if she sprinkles too much this time, she won't know next time that the babies can't do without experiencing some things, so it's good to try more. ”

Yang Shi felt very happy when he heard this, so he smiled and said that I love to use my brain, and I like to try everything, but I still can't do it. ”

Seeing that she was happy, He was also happy, and he smoked a strip of Yang's Dao chrysanthemum - he has grown a lot taller this year, but his body is still thin. I said, when we are harvesting wheat, we are still in the family, you stay at home to cook, otherwise Chrysanthemum will be busy alone. It's also hot on this day, cooking is an uncomfortable job, a handful of pots, a handful of pots, don't make the baby tired. ”

She thinks that chrysanthemums are the future child, and of course she hopes that she will grow healthier.

Yang nodded and said that it should be like this. You can see it too? I think after a season of seedlings are planted, my chrysanthemums have lost a lot of weight, are they growing taller? ”

He thought about it and said that she should have smoked a strip, and looked at her spirit, not like she was tired and thin. I, Yang Zi, am also smoking a strip. ”

This father and mother are particularly concerned about the fat and thin of their children, coarse tea and light food, can eat enough, and raise the baby strong. If they lose weight for some reason, they will be very anxious, wondering if they are sick or tired.

Yang's Dao chrysanthemum eats well now, and can eat two small bowls of rice per meal. But you're right, it's hot, and it's still too much to cook a lot of people's food, so I'll just stay at home then. Alas, when will our chrysanthemums grow like the little sister of the Liu family. That girl, with a round face and a good complexion, is pleasing to look at. ”

He Shi laughed when she heard the "flutter", she naturally felt very sorry for the chrysanthemum, and the chrysanthemum was different from the little sister of the Yang family, and the little sister was afraid that she was an adult. The chrysanthemum is a little thinner, you let her raise it well, so big, it's the time to grow the body bones. ”

Yang nodded, and the two of them chatted about some common things, planted a large area, and even planted the open space by the river.

When the wheat was harvested, the Zheng family and the Zhang family intervened. Because Yang was afraid that the chrysanthemums would not be tired, he stayed at home to cook when he was harvesting wheat.

Chrysanthemum was really touched by Yang's concern. If you want to say that you have never shown a squeamish appearance, except that you have never been in the field, you are rushing to do everything, even if you cook a lot of people's food, but your father and mother do not treat it as a laborer, and always let her be cared for when she can.

The more this is the case, the more attached she is to this family, and she always thinks about what happened in her previous life, but now? She only has this life in her heart.

She's always on the go. If you don't go to the field, it's just that, the work at home is what a girl should do, even if cooking on a hot day is really uncomfortable, but absolutely no one will use this as a reason to refuse to cook.

If you don't work, isn't that the same as a flower woman?

This year's weather was good, and it didn't rain when the wheat was harvested. This rainy season is not like usual, there is not much rain, if you are somewhere else, you should worry about drought. However, in this place, there are both Xiaoqing River and Jinghu Lake, and even the Qinghui River is not far away, and the threat of drought is far less than waterlogging.

Sweating profusely, I took all the wheat to the door and piled it into stacks, and then spread it in batches in the yard to dry, and beat the wheat kernels with flails.

Chrysanthemum was busy in the kitchen, sweating profusely.

Despite Yang's help, the cooking was still very difficult. In the bitter cold winter, she likes to go to the door of the stove; But in summer, standing by the stove, it was like leaning on the stove, people were roasted hot, and the sweat on the back rolled down vigorously.

At this time, she hated this etiquette, if she could wear a short-sleeved dress regardless of it, showing her arms and legs, how cool it would be

It's just that this idea is obviously extravagant, she is wrapped tightly up and down, allowing the sweat to flow like a stream under her clothes, and she can even clearly feel the beads of sweat rolling on her skin.

Yang also knew that there were kang people on the stove, so he asked her to just cut vegetables, wash vegetables, burn the fire, and stir-fry vegetables. When she was too busy, Chrysanthemum still took the spatula and tossed her to her. You go to the fire, I'll quickly fry the vegetables, can't I rest? Besides, it is more comfortable to sweat, and it is even more uncomfortable to be stuffy like this. ”

I finished my busy work early, took a shower, changed into dry clothes and sat in the yard, which was the most relaxed and comfortable at that time.

Yang had no choice but to nod, seeing that the sweat on his daughter's forehead was dripping down, and it was not a problem to wipe it with a cotton cloth constantly, so he sighed and complained that this ghost weather is hot like this. ”

Chrysanthemum looked at the few people who were busy in the yard, shook her head and smiled at Yang, they were even more tired. Look, my father and brother's clothes are drenched with sweat. ”

Under the scorching sun, Zhang Dazhuan and his son, Zheng Changhe and his son, and He waved the flail to hit the wheat spread in the courtyard, and even Zhang Yang followed him to turn over the wheat so that the adults could turn around and repeat the beating. There was a smell of dust in the air, mixed with the floating dust of wheat mang, which was uncomfortable. Chrysanthemum was glad to be wearing a face towel, so she could cover it up.

But everyone can only be happy, the more the sun like this, the better the wheat. Therefore, they did not aversion to toil, but had only a simple thought, which was to beat the wheat out and replace it with yellow grains, and even to think of snow-white flour.

Although there was never much wheat left in the previous years, and they never ate white flour a few times, their enthusiasm for this harvest was never low, and they always insisted that hard work would definitely make a good life, and white flour would definitely be eaten.

Sure enough, isn't this year a good day?

After making some money last year, Zhang Dazhuan and Zheng Changhe unanimously decided that this year's wheat should be kept at home, and it is best to make a few dumplings to eat. (To be continued)
