Chapter 31: Digging Potatoes
Yao Guihua followed Li Lanxi all the way tremblingly, her eyes were not distracted, she was afraid that Li Lanxi would accidentally fall, she was not distressed about potatoes, she was distressed about people, this child, don't be hard.
Li Lanxi didn't feel tired at all, she met a few passing men on the road, which attracted a few surprised glances, Li Lanxi didn't care, anyway, she was fat and had a lot of strength.
A few men smacked their tongues, this girl has a lot of strength, she is up to two prime of life.
When she got home, Yao Guihua really believed it, praised her again and again, and praised Li Lanxi for her good strength.
Yao Guihua asked Li Lanxi to stay in the house, and went into the kitchen to cook, Li Lanxi was bored, and went to the field to carry potatoes with a back basket on his back, and took a smaller back basket in his hand, just carrying one, holding one, and those who didn't dig it don't care about it, and carry it back first.
walked back and forth three times, and a bunch of potatoes were easily carried by Li Lanxi.
Yao Guihua cooked, came out and saw a pile of potatoes in the yard, and was so frightened that she almost sat on the ground, "This... This....".
Li Lanxi scratched her hair embarrassedly, "Auntie, is the meal ready, I'm hungry."
Yao Guihua came back to her senses and hurriedly beckoned a few children to set up dishes and chopsticks, "Okay, okay, the rice is ready, the girl go wash her hands, eat immediately, Yaoyao goes to the kitchen to bring out the food, Qingqing, you clean up the table, Yuanyuan, and go wash your hands."
When the meal was put on the table, Li Lanxi found that it was dry rice, with corn kernels added to it, but it was very dry, and she didn't dare to eat it like this at home, and there was a big bowl of steamed bacon with sauerkraut, the bacon was not a few pieces, it was a big bowl, two plates of green vegetables, and a pot of potato soup, all of which were full of pots.
When she came, she took a look at this family, her own family was poor, and this family was even poorer, but now, because she came, she made a big table of dishes on the table, and my aunt took out all the food in the house.
Several girls' eyes lit up, they were all excited to have meat to eat today and to be able to eat a full meal.
Li Lanxi didn't know how to eat, holding the chopsticks a little stunned, Yao Guihua put the bowl of sauerkraut meat in front of her, and went straight to her bowl to sandwich the meat, "Eat quickly, eat more, you have a lot of strength, you must eat more, don't be embarrassed, eat more, there is still rice in the pot."
Li Lanxi took a few pieces of meat and quickly covered the bowl to prevent her from clamping, "Enough, aunt, if you clamp it again, I won't be able to finish it, I still have to lose weight."
Yao Guihua's eyes widened incredibly when she heard that she was losing weight, "You kid, what stupid things are you talking about, how many people can't get fat if they want to, you still lose weight, you can't lose weight, so good, blessed."
Tang Yaoyao also nodded and said enviously, "Cousin, don't lose weight, look at me, so thin, I don't have the strength to work, I envy you like this."
"Yes, cousin, you're good like this."
"My cousin is good, I don't lose weight"
Tang Qing and Tang Yuanyuan also agreed, although they didn't understand the benefits of being fat, but they saw Li Lanxi's strength with their own eyes, and they consciously thought that it was because they were fat, so they had great strength, which was of course very good.
Li Lanxi couldn't tell them clearly, anyway, he didn't eat more meat, he ate a few pieces of meat in the bowl, ate green vegetables, and soaked them in potato soup, which was quite delicious.
Yao Guihua's meal was very small, and after eating a small half bowl, she put her chopsticks down, sat on the stone bench on the edge of the threshold, and watched a few children eat with a loving face, quite envious.
A few girls looked thin and thin, their appetites were not bad, everyone ate a big bowl, Tang Yaoyao also added half a bowl, and they all ate with a full stomach, Li Lanxi wanted to eat less, but unconsciously, a big bowl, and finished eating again, uh, okay, it is estimated that I worked today, so I didn't hold my mouth and ate more.
After eating, Tang Yao and Tang Qing consciously cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and even the youngest Tang Yuanyuan knew how to help wipe the table and sweep the floor, Li Lanxi couldn't help but sigh, no matter where they were, the children of poor families were in charge of the house early, just like her family, and several children also had to help with the work.
Tang Yuanyuan took good care of the two pheasants, and specially dug up a few small insects to feed them, Yao Guihua knew that the pheasants were caught by Li Lanxi, and she was even more surprised, how could this child be so capable, if it was a male baby.
Li Lanxi took out the things in the basket and gave them to Yao Guihua, Yao Guihua This is the first time she has received a gift from her sister, and she didn't say anything, she put the things away, Li Lanxi saw the tears in the corners of her eyes, thinking that her aunt was happy, happy, not those things, but the person who sent it, maybe she has insisted on giving gifts for so many years, in fact, it is a kind of psychology of reparation, but Yao Pozi did not say anything, which means that she has not forgiven her, and this time, she received a gift, It's not just as simple as returning the gift, it's put down, my sister lets go, forgives her, and she is relieved.
In the afternoon, Yao Guihua was cleaning up the room, she wanted to sort it out, Li Lanxi slept well at night, in fact, Yao Guihua's house was not this, it used to be a big house, and then her son and daughter-in-law were seriously ill one after another, the field was sold, the house was also sold, and then I bought the current house, there is only one upper house, one home remedies, plus a kitchen and firewood room, just this, or Yao Guihua borrowed money to buy.
Usually Yao Guihua and Tang Yuanyuan sleep in the house, Tang Yaoyao and Tang Qing two sisters sleep in home remedies, now that Li Lanxi is here, she has to make a new one, but Yao Guihua must let Li Lanxi sleep in the bed and make a bunk for the two sisters to sleep on.
When Li Lanxi saw it, he definitely disagreed, but the three of them really couldn't sleep, so they had no choice but to agree, fortunately, the weather is still hot now, if it is winter, then they must not sleep like this.
In the afternoon, when the sun was a little off, Li Lanxi and Yao Guihua went to dig potatoes again, at least two or three acres of potatoes were left, and everyone in the village had harvested it early, just Yao Guihua's family, it was okay if it didn't rain, but once it rained, it would be difficult to harvest.
Of course, Yao Guihua didn't want Li Lanxi to help, but she also knew that Li Lanxi's strength could really help a lot, these potatoes, but their food for a year, was crucial, and they could only work hard for Li Lanxi.
Of course Li Lanxi is willing, she has no place to use her strength anyway, but she has never been on the ground in modern times, and when she came to this era, Mrs. Yao never let her go to the ground, she is really a little bad at digging potatoes, although she dug according to her aunt's posture, she still dug up several potatoes.
Yao Guihua saw that she was a little deflated, and said with a smile, "It's okay to dig it up, you can eat it, it's okay, take your time."
Li Lanxi took a deep breath, she didn't believe it anymore, she learned seriously, but she gradually became proficient, and the speed became faster and faster, and she was stunned by Yao Guihua and a few female babies, good guy, this cousin is really, too powerful, one person can catch up with the speed of several people.
Li Lanxi's subordinates kept digging, digging faster and faster, and before they knew it, they actually dug half an acre of land, and nodded with satisfaction, they are still very good.
