Chapter 42: Late Arrival

Mingyue is a typical activist, and the next day, she excitedly chose a site to dig a vegetable cellar.

Choosing to choose, Mingyue chose under the straw shed built by Han's father and son, this place is far away from the house, in the corner of the fence, hidden and rainproof, and the terrain is relatively high, not afraid of accumulating water inside.

Because I don't want others to know about this matter, Mingyue had to do it herself, split the firewood for half a month, the arm strength was effective, and still dug for a full day, the vegetable cellar is not deep, only one person high, one up and down two layers of shelves, you can put dozens of jars, the mouth of the cellar is woven with a fence tree strip to weave a cover, which is full of wheat straw, if you don't know that the vegetable cellar is below, you can't see it at all.

Mingyue breathed a long sigh of relief, burned the firewood and grass to ashes to remove the moisture and cold, and immediately moved all the pots and buckets containing pickles in, and Liu's face returned to some normal color, showing how worried and frightened she was in her heart.

Platycodon, small head garlic, large radish, cabbage and wild vegetables have been marinated with salt for a night, the spicy taste is almost gone, the key now is to use red pepper powder to adjust the color and taste, grinding red pepper powder, there are only a few at home, but there are many Han family, Mingyue decided to go to Han's house to discuss.

In order to avoid taking other people's hands short, Mingyue took out the padded jacket that Liu helped Han's father and son make, the padded jacket has been made for several days, and Liu has been embarrassed to send it over, either worried that Yu Li is not compatible or worried that the people in the village will know about gossiping, where can Mingyue take care of what etiquette and what law, in her place, survival is the last word. put the jacket in the back basket and went to Han's house.

The Hanjiayuan is very large, full of endless swings, bean seedlings and eggplant seedlings

The vegetable seedlings are all showing a touch of withered yellow, and they are blown by the wind.

When Mingyue arrived at Han's house, Han's father and son had just finished pulling out the withered seedlings in the garden, and the old cucumber seeds and eggplant seeds were picked in advance and kept for next year's vegetable seeds.

Boss Han gathered the chili seedlings full of red peppers in one place, his face was like a layer of mist, and he was so hazy that he couldn't see what he was thinking, but he was stunned for a while, and said worriedly: "Xing'er, your mother loves to eat this chili pepper, your mother has been gone for half a year, throw this chili into the Moon River, follow her, let her have a chew." ”

Han Xing's eyes were slightly red, he picked off more than a dozen red peppers, put them together with the old cucumber seeds, shook his head and said: "Dad, my mother is not spicy or happy, this is the only thing that my mother thinks about, let's leave some seeds, and plant them again next year, my mother may come home one day to see." ”

Mingyue couldn't help but tremble, the conversation between the two of them, one made Zhou's go with peace of mind, and the other looked forward to Zhou's often going home to see, why did it sound as crazy as chatting?

Mingyue walked in, broke the sad atmosphere of the father and son, picked up the cucumber seed that was thicker than her arm and the eggplant seed that was bigger than her head, held it up in front of the Han father and son, and said: "Uncle Han, Brother Han, you two are really little experts in farming, these ordinary vegetables have become the cucumber king and the eggplant king in the hands of the two of you." ”

Han's father and son were praised so much that they blushed, and let Mingyue into the house, Mingyue entered the house, sat on the edge of the kang, took out the jacket, and said with a happy face: "Uncle Han, Brother Han Xing, you have secretly helped my family do a lot of things over the years, and our whole family will remember it, this is the jacket and cotton pants made by my mother, you two try, if there is something inappropriate, I will take it back and let my mother change it." ”

If it is said that the faces of the Han family and his son are as red as red apples, now that they listen to Mingyue's words, they are as red as the red hijab on the bride's head, not to mention how joyful.

Han Xing was the first to take the jacket, stupidly transferred to another room, put it on three times and five by two, felt that it was unsightly to wear it out like this, turned the box upside down, and found a silk and dark cloud pattern robe from the bottom, as well as a matching belt and scholarly scarf, Han Xing was happy in his heart, put his hair in a scholar's bun like Su Hongtu, and dressed neatly before he cramped out of the layer and stood in front of Mingyue.

Seeing Mingyue staring at him with blazing eyes, Han Xing lowered his head embarrassedly and whispered, "Mingyue, look at it, the jacket is really well done, just right." ”

Mingyue couldn't cry or laugh, glanced at the twisted Han Xing and smiled: "Brother Han Xing, my mother made the jacket inside, you let me see, how do I know if it's suitable inside?" Or do you want me to see the satin robe you've been reluctant to wear? Well, it's good-looking, like a happy groom, perfect! ”

Han Xing's fingers were stirred together, and his heart was beating into one, like Sun Wukong's Dinghai God needle pestle there, motionless.

Han Lin saw Mingyue looking at him, motioned for himself to try it on, and hurriedly compared the jacket to his body, but sadly compared the pants to the upper body, and the two trouser legs were compared to arms, and the atmosphere became even more embarrassing.

In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Mingyue laughed dryly twice and praised: "Oh, it's very good-looking, the uncle can be like Brother Xing, with a satin robe on the outside, just like a rich businessman who sells goods." ”

The whole room fell into a silent embarrassment again.

Mingyue looked at the father and son who were squirming together suspiciously, I don't know what I said wrong, I thought silently, and suddenly, it seems, it seems that it was all because of the sentence "It's very good-looking", but this is all the truth, it is indeed better than the pickled, patched, and tucked in the short gown of the two of them.

Mingyue couldn't help but shake her head, this was a normal compliment, but it has become a flirtatious element here, in the future, she can't just speak, maybe one day she meets a more conservative one, and she has to treat herself as a female prostitute who picks flowers-thief.

Mingyue pinched her thigh in annoyance, and tried her best to go straight to the point with a natural face: "Uncle Han, Brother Han Xing, I heard that you want to throw away the chili peppers in the yard, I want to take them back and use them, okay?" ”

The father and son didn't move for a long time, Mingyue thought that the other party was angry, and asked again in a whisper, and the father and son came to their senses, nodded busily, ran to the yard in a panic, picked all the peppers, and stuffed them into Mingyue's back basket.

Mingyue was not in the mood to speculate on the complicated feelings of the father and son, so she directly picked up the basket and went home.

Boss Han carefully put away the jacket, while Han Xing touched the jacket on his body stupidly, his heart was as sweet as honey, Boss Han couldn't see it, and said, "Didn't you say that you would leave some peppers for planting next year?" Let your mother have a thought, why did you take it to Mingyue? ”

Han Xing's face was like a morning glow, and he retorted with a smile: "If my mother knew that giving away her pepper seeds was to leave seeds for the old Han family's wife, she would definitely be happy." ”

Boss Han looked at the silly son who was rarely happy with amusement, and looked at the robe of his marriage on his son with pity, he was embarrassed, at that time, his father was also a hunter, with some small wealth, and when he married Zhou, he was also in a beautiful village. Nowadays, not to mention the poverty of the family, with the death of the Zhou family, the population has also withered, and the heart is cold. Since there is the Yin family's Liu family and Mingyue, the hearts of the father and son are like this jacket, and they have gradually become hot.

I heard that the son of the Su family is going to get married, and the father and son have to seize the opportunity to strive for double happiness.

Boss Han thought that Mingyue praised Han Xing for wearing a robe like a groom, Han Xing was only afraid that he would even wear a "groom's robe" when he went to sleep, but he didn't expect to misestimate Han Xing, Han Xing had already rushed back to the house, put away the "groom's robe" carefully, and suddenly saw a red thing, unfolded it, and saw that it was a splendid cluster and a phoenix flying, this is a good bride's hijab, and people in the village have not seen such a beautiful red hijab for many years.

Han Xing's eyes were full of joy, and he folded the red hijab and carefully placed it in his arms.

When Mingyue got home, she put the dried chili peppers in one place, let Liu help pound them into chili powder, pounded a few catties of fried white rice, mixed them with chili powder and salt noodles and stirred them together, and the pickles suddenly became red* and fragrant.

After tasting it, although it was not as delicious as modern ingredients, it was already very refreshing and delicious under such difficult conditions.

Mingyue took a pair of chopsticks from each one, put it in a big bowl, brought it to the table in the room, and ate it with porridge, which was simply the standard for dinner.

The family ate deliciously, and after a while, the pickles were bottomed out, because the spicy taste of the small head garlic was not removed, and it took two days to eat again, so the last remaining big bite was the small head garlic.

The family drank the last mouthful of porridge, and Mingyang was even more satisfied with his round belly.

The star helped Mingyue tear the bellflower with her hands, and her hands were tired and sore; Mingyue is digging vegetable cellars and pickling pickles, tired and stiff lying on the kang motionless, the family, not only feeling the hard work of tiredness, but also feeling the results of hard work, completely responded to the sentence "pain and happiness".

Liu looked at the daughters lying upside down on the kang, got off the kang with satisfaction, and picked up the dishes and chopsticks alone and picked them up to the outhouse.

As soon as the bowl was put on the wooden shelf in the outhouse, he felt the door open with a bang, and a black shadow rushed in.

Looking at the people who came, Liu's heart was like swallowing a fly, and he said indifferently: "Big brother, it's not early, why are you here?" ”

Yin Jin ignored Liu, walked straight to the house, looked impatiently at the three nieces on the kang and ignored him, sat directly on the edge of the kang and said, "I don't know who to call when I see the elders?" If you have Mingyun, you can marry a good family if you are half as good, so why bother with your milk. ”

Mingyue rolled her eyes, and saw that Yin Jin was still unrelenting, so she reluctantly muttered, "Uncle." ”

The star shouted: "Uncle." ”

Yin Jin looked at Mingyang with satisfaction, Mingyang's small mouth was bulging, his cheeks were propped up like hamsters, and he couldn't speak at all.

Mingyang blinked and looked at Mingyue as if asking for help, and Mingyue replied funny: "Uncle, Mingyang is so hungry that he chewed all the last mouthful of red roots in the bowl." ”

Mingyue and the star looked at Mingyang with a smile in their eyes, the corners of their mouths were red, where was the wild vegetable red root, it was clearly the last big mouthful of garlic at the bottom of the bowl, it was when Liu and Yin Jin greeted each other, Mingyang was afraid that Yin Jin would find out about the delicious food at home, so he reacted quickly and filled all the big mouthfuls of spicy garlic in his mouth.

It's spicy to think about, Mingyue and the star are obviously in schadenfreude.
