The old man turned his head and said to Yang Zi and Xiaoshi, "You two go pick up some more." Pick it up, wash the snail, keep it in clean water, pour a few drops of sesame oil and float it for a few days, and change the water several times. When you want to burn it, cut the butt of the snail and cook it directly with chili pepper and cumin, which is fragrant. However, when eating, you must use a needle to pick, otherwise you will not be able to eat the meat. ”

Yang Zi and Xiaoshi listened, glanced at each other, and continued to pick up in the afternoon. They thought it was delicious just by listening to what their grandmother said.

Chrysanthemum feels that this stone grandmother burns snails better than her own method, and of course she will use this method in the future. If she burns it, the old method - braised it, so that the meat will inevitably be older.

At this time, Aoki and Zhang Huai came back and carried a basket with yellow eels and loaches. Liu Xiaomei was overjoyed to see it.

Aoki smiled, "This is what your brother touched." He really has a hand at catching yellow eels, we don't know where they are, he ran to the edge of the ridge to look everywhere, as long as he found a hole, he would be able to find some yellow eels. Huaizi and I had to catch some loaches, but we still had to catch them. ”

Chrysanthemum asked amusedly, "Are you planting rice or catching yellow eels?" ”

Zhang Huai said with a smile: "There is a commotion in the field, and these things are all shocked." I didn't go specifically to catch it, I picked up a lot of it first, and then I didn't see enough bowls, so I let Ershun and Sanshun go to the ridge to touch it. It's also a bowl of dishes. ”

When he saw that Liu Xiaomei was also here, he felt a little more steady, and he was not so tired with her helping to cook rice chrysanthemums. He quietly paid attention to the chrysanthemum, but he didn't lean up as before. If he doesn't earn some money, what will he do to marry Chrysanthemum? As soon as this meaning is revealed, others will definitely say that he is on the water.

Yang Zi and Xiaoshi were happy to see the yellow eel, so they also wanted to dig the yellow eel.

Aoki listened to the words of the two and said, "You better save it." Can you be the second shun and the third shun that ability can be practiced once? Don't go. You two haven't been to the field, so you might catch a cold this time. ”

Yang Zi smiled: "How can you be so squeamish? I'd better go and plant the seedlings, and the stone will just pick up the snails alone. ”

Huaizi looked at his younger brother and said, "After planting a trip to the seedlings, when you get up, your waist can't be straightened, should you be easy?" It's time to turn around and shout that your back hurts. Planting seedlings is not as good as cutting rice, you have to know some tricks to succeed, otherwise you will plant crookedly, and the seedlings will not be able to stand at that time, and they will all float up. You're still at home to help Sister Chrysanthemum and help deliver something; Otherwise, it's good to pick up snails, isn't it a bowl of good dishes! ”

Yang Zi is not unaware of hard work, he is much more sensible now, and it is precisely because he knows that his father and mother are very hard, so he wants to help with his brother. But when my brother said something, there was concern in his words, so he smiled and nodded, and looked at the chrysanthemum again, giving my brother a reassuring look.

Huaizi blushed and glared at him fiercely.

Grandma Shi also said at this time: "Let's go and pick up snails." Don't touch it around, it's bad if you touch the water snake. ”

She brought out the tortillas and asked Aoki and Sokuko to take them to the field for everyone to eat, and brought a big bowl of chili baba to go with, and the two of them went happily.

At noon, the people in the fields came back from work to eat, and walked staggeringly with their legs crossed.

The women held their hands on their waists, dragging their feet with difficulty, their trouser legs were all down, and even their trousers were not rolled up when they went into the water; The men threw their arms on their shoulders and rolled up their trouser legs high, and the mud on their legs was washed in the ditch before they put down their trousers, their faces tired and excited.

In the paddy field behind him, the neatly arranged seedlings covered the white water surface; The paddy fields, which were originally empty, suddenly became full, and the green made the heavens and the earth brighter and softer, and the seedlings swayed gently with the warm wind.

Zheng Changhe straightened his waist, crossed his legs, and stumbled for two sides before he stood firmly, and said with a smile: "The cat has been in winter, and it is really not possible to hold up the mile this first day." ”

Yang Shi listened, glanced at his leg worriedly, and asked, "His father, do you have a leg pain?" If it hurts, don't hold on to it, otherwise it will hurt people if you have a big problem. ”

Zheng Changhe hurriedly smiled: "My leg doesn't hurt at all, it's good." You're worried. I think it's because I've been resting for too long, and I've planted seedlings all morning, and my waist is a little sore. ”

Zhao San laughed when he heard this: "I can't hold on to you." Isn't that the first day of the year? Just plant it for two days. The more acidic it is, the more you can't lie down, and you have to keep moving. I'm going to suffer when I go to bed tonight - this ass must be too painful to get into bed. ”

Zhang Dazhuan smiled: "I'm tired and half dead, who cares about those?" Even if you fall into the cowshed, you can fall asleep immediately, and the pain in your butt can only be felt in a dream! ”

Zhang Huai and Aoki's situation is not much better, the two of them have been studying for so long, this time, when they go to the field, they don't feel that when they bend over, it is a little difficult to straighten up - they grin and grin for a long time before they can straighten up.

However, in the end, they are young and can bear it, unlike their parents, who are old and inflexible, and the posture of getting up from the field and walking is very strange.

A group of people returned to Zheng's house, and Chrysanthemum and the others had already put the meal on the table.

Seeing the fried snails, fried yellow eels and red stewed loaches, everyone laughed together, because they said to Liu Sanshun: "You better don't go to the field, it's better to go and net some small fish and come back, then this dish will be more complete - all from the river and the field." ”

Liu Sanshun hurriedly said: "I don't need the Internet, I have it at home." I'll take it and burn it first, and then I'll go to the net when I'm done. I'll let my little sister go home and get some dried fish later. ”

Zhao San said: "Which one wants to eat dried fish?" We just want to eat fresh. Look at this table, it's all fresh and delicious. Woohoo! I really didn't expect this fried snail to be so delicious. Stone, your grandmother has been in trouble. He already knew that it was burned by his grandmother in stone, not by chrysanthemums.

Xiao Shi said to him proudly: "This is what I went to pick up with Brother Yang Zi; It was also the meat we picked, washed and let my grandmother burn it. If it's not us, you don't have to eat. What he meant was that although we didn't go to the fields, we weren't idle at home.

Everyone laughed, and Zheng Changhe said happily: "Stone is ability. Picking up a bowl of vegetables is worth planting seedlings in the field. We're pointing at you these days. You're going to pick it up, right? ”

Xiao Shi raised his head and said, "Of course." Grandma said that there is also a way to burn, which is burned with a shell, and you have to pick it up with a needle to eat, which has a special taste. Don't worry, even if we don't go to the fields, we can still do something at home. ”

Ershun smiled and said, "Hey! Stone this is well arranged! Then we'll just wait. ”

Zhang Dazhuan said with a smile: "Eat quickly, eat well and work." If you don't step up the drying, when will this seedling be planted? These two Shun and San Shun also pointed out that we will help his family when the time comes. When the seedlings are planted, those who want to cast their nets will go to the nets to pick up snails. ”

After tiredness, the meal is also extraordinarily fragrant, as if there is no long throat, everyone picks up the rice bowl, three mouthfuls and two mouthfuls is a bowl of rice under the stomach, and after touching the stomach and hurriedly went to the field, the footsteps are sharper than when they come back, after all, they have rested for a while, and they have eaten a lot.

When everyone left, Chrysanthemum and Liu Xiaomei cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and discussed how to burn them at night

When the farm is busy, the people at home just burn non-stop. Otherwise, if the food is not cooked in time, the person who went to the field will come back with a ghost fire - he is so tired that he doesn't eat in time, of course, he is on fire, but it doesn't matter if you are busy or not. It is the responsibility of the people who cook the rice to let the people in Shimoda eat well.

Chrysanthemum suddenly found that her stone grandmother was far worse. I thought that compared with the plums, I could burn them, but I just used ready-made things to cook some of the dishes I cooked; The grandmother of this little stone can think of ideas and turn vegetables.

When she saw that Chrysanthemum was about to roast bacon again, she hurriedly stopped her, and smiled kindly at her: "Your mother is not doing business now, and this bacon is better to save on eating - there is still wheat that has not been cut!" In the evening, I brought a lot of eggs and made some egg dumplings; Then cut the tofu into small pieces and put them in the red stewed loach. Just the loaches, it's a pity not to add something to that good soup. Just use the tofu I brought, your acorn tofu or cold it according to your original method. ”

Chrysanthemum listened to it, and then remembered that the loach is not just roasted tofu, and I have eaten it, but I forgot it, but it is not as bright as the old lady of the people, and I can think of it now.

Shi Niang also interjected at this time: "Chrysanthemum, keep your dishes." We also ate a lot of dishes from your family in the old year, so let's use the roast I brought today. ”

Chrysanthemum smiled and said, "It's not clear that this is calculated." Uncle Zhao also sent a lot of things to my family, and when he killed the pigs, he also sent several catties of meat. Last year, I sent you some food, but my mother happened to be doing that business. Won't it be gone this year? ”

Shi Niang smiled: "If you say so, you have to be willing to do it." Some people are reluctant to do so. Your mother is refreshing, we can't climb the pole.

Grandma Shi heard her daughter say that she knew that the Chrysanthemum family was sincere, so she smiled and said: "We croppers, look at the honest, our hearts are bright!" Whoever treats others well, he will naturally be close; If he doesn't pull out a dime, he will get along with him once and will not touch him in the future. ”

Shi Niang smiled: "Isn't it." Brother Changhe and sister-in-law treat people sincerely, and during the Chinese New Year, the people who killed the pigs gave them pork. In our township, there is nothing else expensive, and when we kill pigs, pork is the best. Sending some over is also a heart. I guess your family is about to build a house—your house is too old—and save some money on groceries. You're worried, but this time, we've brought a lot of food with us. You, learn from Grandma Shi, she can make a lot of dishes, so you don't have to take out those things in your house. ”

Chrysanthemum and Liu Xiaomei laughed when they heard this, suddenly looked at Shi Niang, and thought suspiciously: "Why is it that you are so good at burning, but this girl has average craftsmanship?" ”

Grandma Shi seemed to see their thoughts, looked at the girl with a big belly, and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, 'The mother is strong and the child is weak,. Even if it's not all right, it's pretty much the same. I'll burn, and she'll have hope; I was always reluctant to make her tired, so I burned her and ate her, isn't this what this is like when I get married? The tea and rice craftsmanship is so-so. If you don't believe it, think about it, are many people in this situation? ”

Shi Niang smiled embarrassedly, to the two of them, it is true. She also said that the plum is now the same as she was back then.

After laughing for a while, Chrysanthemum asked, "Grandma, what are you going to use for this egg dumpling?" ”

The old man said: "Chop the pickled pepper flakes and pickled vegetables to make some sauerkraut filling; Blanch the coriander, cut it finely, and make some coriander filling; Then use that sauce to mix some acorn tofu and make some tofu filling. ”

So, a few people got busy again. Chrysanthemum and Liu Xiaomei make egg stuffing first.

When Grandma Shi waited for them to finish the stuffing, she beat seven or eight eggs, added some chopped green onions, stirred well, and set aside; Instructed Shi Niang to use thatch to burn a low fire, then brush some sesame oil in the pot, and when the pot is hot, scoop a spoonful of eggs into the pot, and use a spatula to drive the egg juice to all sides, and soon a round egg pancake will be formed.

The old man quickly scooped a little pickle filling and put it in the center of the pancake, then picked up the spatula and folded the pancake in half, wrapped the filling, pressed it tightly, turned over and fried it for a while, and a small and delicate egg dumpling was completed.

This was repeated repeatedly, and soon two large bowls of egg dumplings were fried.

Then the old man kept making dishes like tricks, so that Chrysanthemum and Liu Xiaomei were dumbfounded, and they didn't know when she prepared these things.

A small ball of pickled leeks and red pepper flakes are finely chopped and placed on a large coarse porcelain plate, red and green, which is very beautiful; Then the pickled duck eggs brought by Zhang Huai's family were boiled, each duck egg was cut into four pieces, the white egg white supported the oily red egg yolk, and the dish was like a still life painting.

Soaking some dried cowpeas—Chrysanthemum didn't even see when she soaked them—fried in oil with a small mass of fatty meat, and stewed them with dried chili peppers, chewing them with a peculiar bite and spicy flavor.

Soybeans are also different from chrysanthemums, chrysanthemums just use spicy soybeans to stew out, and she added a large spoonful of sauce, and a large handful of dried dried shrimp, and cut green garlic sprouts to enhance the flavor, so it looks more delicious.

The little dried sesame fish is not fried - the old man said that it costs oil - she used pickled red pepper flakes, pickled ginger, green garlic sprouts and the small fish to roll down the pot and stir-fry a few times, sprinkle some green onions and then come out of the pot. Smelling the sour and spicy fragrance that rushed straight to the door of my head, my cheeks were sour.

In addition to stir-frying the snail like at noon, it is stir-fried with sauce.

I cut some fresh leeks and put them in the pickled chili baba to fry them, and this chili baba has more of the fragrance of leeks, which is different from the original spicy taste.

There is white tofu floating in the red stewed loach, and you will drool when you see it; A pickled black fish is naturally roasted with pickled vegetables.

The only big meat dish is fried green garlic sprouts with bacon.

After the dishes are ready, I made a soup with egg dumplings filled with coriander and served them in a casserole; The soup is filled with goose-yellow egg dumplings, green onions, and golden dried shrimps, and the fragrance of coriander is reflected in the hot air.

Add some greens and you're ready for dinner.

Chrysanthemum and Liu Xiaomei were praising it, and the little stone ran in and handed him a small basket to his grandmother, which was black like a fungus.

When the old man saw it, he smiled happily: "Ouch! I've picked up a mile of land. ”

She said to Chrysanthemum, "This thing likes to grow in wet grass. I didn't think it was time yet, but I didn't expect it to happen. Where did you pick up the stones? ”

Xiao Shi smiled: "I picked it up in a depression by the Xiaoqing River." I saw that my grandmother cooked delicious food last year, so I picked up some of them. ”

When the chrysanthemum saw it, it was also recognized, and it should be something similar to a fungus. Spring, as long as there is a heart, these things that grow naturally are everywhere.

At the dinner table, people who had been tired from a long day talked and laughed loudly, and their expressions were much more relaxed than at noon, and it was also a relief to think that they could get a night's rest temporarily. Let's talk about tomorrow, life is not just like this!

Zhao San smiled and said, "Sanshun, why are you planting seedlings so fast?" 'Brush, brush, it's a row, I'll make you die in front of you.' It's bad luck that I should have been behind you. ”

Everyone laughed, and the hand holding the bowl trembled a little—the rice planter had crossed his wrist

Zhang Huai also said: "No, I followed him, and I didn't dare to be side by side with him anymore." It is not possible to follow him, and it is ugly to look at it when he is pulled far away. People who don't know think I'm lazy, but in fact, I don't even have the time to straighten my back and pant for breath. ”

Liu Sanshun smiled embarrassedly: "Soon?" I don't think so. ”

Zheng Changhe said with a smile: "Like you, people like to exchange jobs with you the most - you do the work alone, and the top two people do it." ”

Tired and half dead, everyone was in no mood to gossip after eating, so they hurried home to rest, so as to reserve strength for the next day's fatigue.

In the following days, Chrysanthemum was busy in the kitchen, plus feeding pigs, chickens and ducks, and truly experienced the hardship. Originally, although I was also busy, I didn't have the continuous and nervous rush for the past few days.

She felt that she was no more relaxed than the people in Shimoda, and when she had taken a bath at night and fell into bed, she must have slept until dawn before waking up, and she did not have a dream. When I woke up, I really didn't want to get up in bed, and my whole body was sore.

And Zheng Changhe, Yang and Aoki were so tired that they hummed in their sleep. The worst thing is to get up in the morning, after a night's rest, the ass hurts so much that people can't move their legs.

Yang saw that Zheng Changhe was really struggling to get out of bed, and comforted: "If you plant it for another day today, this body will get used to it, and your butt won't hurt." ”

Zheng Changhe smiled: "How can I not know this reason? In previous years, planting seedlings on the first day didn't hurt so much, but it was a long break last year, and the bones were rusty. ”

This is the real farming life of a farmer!

The people who see it feel full of pastoral interest, and the people in it count the sunrise and sunset days one by one, measure the fields with their feet, and step out of a layer of green Jiahe with sweat.

The people who planted the seedlings in the fields and the people who cooked at home all suffered from this day, and most of them had finally passed.

After the Zheng family, Zhao Sanjia and Zhang Huai's seedlings were planted, they went to help Liu Fatzi plant the seedlings.

Aoki and Zhang Huai's farm vacation was also over, so Zheng Changhe, Zhao San and Zhang Dazhuan went to help the Liu family. Chrysanthemum promised Liu Xiaomei that she would naturally help cook the rice, and the family would be handed over to the Yang family to take care of.

The Liu family is also the same as the Chrysanthemum family, with earthen walls and thatched houses, but they are larger. There are five rooms in one room, and the two next ones can clearly be seen to have been connected later. A large yard is neat and tidy; There is a large kitchen behind the main house, and behind the kitchen, there is a backyard where a lot of vegetables are planted, as well as fruit trees such as peaches, apricots and plums that Liu Xiaomei said, and a well, next to the vegetable field.

At first glance, you can tell that this is a hard-working farmer's family.

In the kitchen, Liu Xiaomei's mother and her sister-in-law were busy, seeing that Xiaomei came in with chrysanthemums, they greeted her happily and said that it was difficult for her to help; Her sister-in-law just smiled at the chrysanthemum and didn't say anything.

Liu Xiaomei's round cheeks and short and round body are a model of the Liu family's figure. It seems that this "with a father and a nest with a mother" also makes some sense.

Chrysanthemum smiled: "My little sister has helped me for many days, and I should come to help for two days." If my aunt has anything, arrange for me to do it, don't be polite. ”

The little sister hurriedly agreed, brought a small bucket and said to her, "You and the little sister go and kill this loach." I'm not going to get this thing, it's slippery, I can't hold it. Her third brother tossed in the ditch for a long time yesterday before he could do this. ”

The two went to the corner of the backyard to kill the loaches.

Chrysanthemum saw that Liu Xiaomei's sister-in-law was very neat, so she was surprised why she had never heard Xiaomei talk about her. Although she was very curious, but looking at this situation, she was afraid that this sister-in-law would not be very compatible, and it was a short story in it, otherwise the little sister would definitely tell her.

As if the little sister seemed to know what she wanted, she killed the loach and whispered to her: "My eldest brother separated after marrying." It's nothing, when you get married, you have to split up. But my sister-in-law is very eccentric, she rarely interacts with people, and even we are not very close. You don't want to touch her stuff; But she never comes to take advantage of you. What's the matter? The family is like an enemy, and my mother has raised a son for nothing. After a few breaths, I didn't have much contact. I don't know why she's here today, it's really the sun hitting the west! ”

When Chrysanthemum heard this, she thought, there are all kinds of people in this world, and it is not for nothing that her sister-in-law is a lonely crutch like her six relatives. This kind of person is actually very stupid and doesn't get involved with people, so who can you ask for help when you have something? It's just that you don't have much contact with others, and you don't have any contact with your mother-in-law, the brothers and sisters are estranged, and your man is not lonely.

The little sister said angrily: "Marry one like this." If my second brother hadn't married him well, he wouldn't have been able to live that day. borrowed a lot of debt to give a dowry, I don't know if this person is as virtuous as people say. My mother is because of my sister-in-law's lonely nature, and I heard that this girl is a spiritual person, so she gritted her teeth and borrowed money, and agreed to the bride price silver that her mother wanted. ”

She doesn't know how to comfort her little sister, just listen to these common words, but she can't help with ideas, otherwise how to say "it is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs", it is because everyone thinks differently, and their way of acting may not be suitable for others.

She could only say to her: "Although the four brothers of your family are marrying one by one, the burden is heavy, but if the arrangements are made properly, they will make a fortune very quickly." There are many people, and there are many people. There are many brothers in the countryside, and that is only when the family house is prosperous. My father and my brother are both passed down from generation to generation, and when my brother marries, he will have to have a few more. "Min
