Chapter 136: Late Autumn Harvest
After sending Cui Yunniang away, Cui'er felt that her mood had settled down instantly, and the feeling of being like a thorn in her back had also dissipated. After Cui'er got better, she took a piece of pork and a basket of eggs, and went to Aunt Lu's house with Lian Qingshan to thank her.
Aunt Lu looked at Cui'er's complexion very well, and her heart was also steady, and she instructed Cui'er to raise the fetus at home, and then took her hand and talked about the family for a while, and made a meal for them to eat together, and then let Cui'er and them go home.
Cui'er's belly is getting bigger day by day, except that her appetite has become a little weird, and her appetite is a little big, there is no other reaction, and carrying this child has not caused Cui'er to suffer much, which is very happy for the family.
On weekdays, Cui'er sits leisurely in the house, talking and laughing with the big girl and the little tiger, teaching them to write and tell them stories, when the weather is good, Cui'er will be accompanied by Lian Qingshan, take a walk in the newly opened vegetable field, pull some vegetables back to cook, or think about how to store these vegetables, etc., the days are also leisurely.
Sister-in-law Mu still helps take care of the chickens and pigs of the Lian family, although Cui'er has begun to cook by herself, but the heavy work such as holding firewood, Sister-in-law Mu does not dare to let her move, and even when she is stir-frying, Sister-in-law Mu is next to Cui'er, very careful that Cui'er will be affected.
Cui'er gets along with this hard-working and simple sister-in-law Mu every day, and thinks this person is very good, and often cooks dishes for the sister-in-law Mu to taste, like the relationship between master and servant and villagers, but it is also very harmonious.
On this day, Cui'er took Da Niu and Xiaohu to the old yard, and after Cui Yunniang was sold, it was a different scene.
The carob seedlings that had been picked clean before were pulled out, and the vacant place was planted with a stubble of cabbage in Lian Qingshan, and at this time, the cabbage had just grown an inch-long seedling, which was bright and lovely. Originally, the farmer should have left some full-grained pods for seeding, and the large and small beans were all picked by Cui Yunniang. There is no more use for seeding.
There are also some cucumbers on the shelf, all of which have grown into large cucumbers with the thickness of an arm, with a golden skin, showing people the origin of the name of cucumbers.
"Mother. Is this a cucumber? Why is it so big and so yellow? The big girl looked at the cucumbers that grew on the shelf, and asked with wide eyes in curiosity.
"This is a cucumber, a cucumber that our family has planted. The cucumbers we eat are all tender cucumbers, they were still green at that time, and they were not ripe, so the cucumbers have grown, and in a few days, we will pick the cucumbers and take out the seeds in them and dry them. Next year, you will be able to grow delicious cucumbers again! ”
"I see!" The girl's eyes sparkled when she heard this, and she reached out and touched the golden skin of the cucumber, imagining that she would take out the cucumber seeds from the golden skin and plant cucumbers like this year next year, and her little mouth would be so happy that she couldn't close it.
"Eat cabbage!" When Cui'er and the big girl asked and answered. Xiaohu had already walked around the old yard, he stretched out his little white arm like a lotus root, pointed to the little cabbage that had just grown on the ground, and laughed so much that his mouth watered, "Eat cabbage!" ”
"Xiaohu wants to eat cabbage?" Seeing Xiaohu's smiling and happy appearance, Cui'er walked up to him, stretched out her hand and gently pinched his cheek. "The cabbage in this old yard is still small, shall we go to Daddy's newly opened field to pick cabbage?"
"Good!" Xiaohu frowned and looked at the little cabbage on the ground, nodded with some disgust, obviously knowing that the little cabbage seedlings couldn't eat anything, so he turned around and pulled Cui'er outside.
Cui'er looked at the sky, it was time to cook. took the big girl and the little tiger to the vegetable field next to the new yard.
In the vegetable field, Lian Qingshan was turning the leaves of the sweet potato, but it was a piece of sweet potato that was square to a zhang, Lian Qingshan turned the sweet potato leaves with a few grass rakes, and turned his head to see Cui'er leading the children over with a smile. Put down the rake in your hand and walk towards Cui'er.
"Cui'er, you're here!" Lian Qingshan walked up to Cui'er, and Ren Cui'er gently wiped the sweat off his forehead.
"Let's come over and see if there are any dishes, Xiaohu wants to eat cabbage." Cui'er said with a smile, and in her bright smile, there was more brilliance of maternal love, which was so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off it.
Lian Qingshan nodded and smiled at Cui'er, turned his head to look at Xiaohu who was pouting and touching vegetables in the ground, and scooped him up and carried him on his shoulder, "Xiaohu wants to eat cabbage?" Let's go, chop cabbage with Daddy! ”
Xiaohu was so shocked by Lian Qingshan's movements that he shouted again and again, sat on Lian Qingshan's shoulder, waving his little hands, and smiled excitedly on his face, this is a game of riding a big horse that both father and son love, and they have to play it several times a day, and they are never tired of it.
Cui'er looked at Lian Qingshan and Xiaohu's excited appearance, couldn't help laughing, and pulled the big girl to watch the excitement next to her for a while, and then went to pick vegetables to prepare for lunch.
The cabbage planted a few days ago has grown a foot long, the weather has cooled down, this cabbage is fresh and sweet and delicious, Cui'er took the girl to pick the more dense place of the cabbage planting, pulled two cabbage, the weather is cold and the cabbage is growing heart, it is the time to grow the weight, Cui'er is a little reluctant to pick too many cabbage, and look at the newly planted beans have grown a lot, so she picked two more handfuls of beans to prepare for noon fried food.
"Cui'er, do you want to eat some potatoes at noon? I watched the potatoes grow almost. Lian Qingshan carried Xiaohu on his shoulder, turned his head and said to Cui'er.
"Okay, if the potatoes grow, let's dig them out and eat them in the next few days." Cui'er returned to Lian Qingshan with a smile, and she went home to cook.
After scooping up rice and cooking rice, Cui'er began to get busy. The fresh half-sized cabbage was finely cut into shreds by Cui'er, slightly put a little oil, poured the cabbage into the pot and stir-fried, poured a little vinegar when it came out of the pot, and patted the garlic cloves and put it in, which is the vinegar cabbage shredded that Xiaohu loves to eat.
The beans were washed and picked, pinched into inch-long segments, scraped the skin of the potatoes that Lian Qingshan had newly picked up, cut them into slices half a finger thick, dug a spoonful of lard, cut the green onions and threw them into the pot to stir-fry fragrant, and then put the beans and potatoes into the pot and stir-fried them, and when the surface of the fried potatoes was browned, Cui'er added a scoop of water to the pot. Stew the beans and potatoes.
Cui'er looked at the fire, and suddenly remembered that a few days ago, Aunt Lu helped the pickled salted radishes, and she was busy opening the small jar, smelling the slightly spicy aroma wafting from the jar. Cui'er felt that the speed of saliva secretion had accelerated, and she hurriedly took a plate out and fished out a small plate of pickles, and this lunch was all right.
The family sat around and ate lunch, and even Qingshan reported the situation in the field to Cui'er, "Our family's newly opened wasteland is almost the same as potatoes and sweet potatoes, radishes can also be harvested, and beans, cucumbers, eggplants and other things can still survive until the freeze, and all kinds of vegetables add up, before the first snow." Our family can't do without food. ”
"That's good, Qingshan, you are the best, thanks to you, otherwise we won't have anything to eat in winter." Cui'er looked at Lian Qingshan's eyes with stars, and only felt that Lian Qingshan could go to the battlefield and the kitchen. It's really hard to grasp the farming work.
"I'm your father-in-law, these are the things that should be done!" Lian Qingshan received Cui'er's admiring eyes, his heart was so beautiful, he patted his chest and said, his heart opened up again, there are still some days before the snow. It is better to get more food and stock up for winter use.
The family was eating, and Zhaocai suddenly jumped into the house from outside, his mouth was stuffed full, like two small balls, and he was holding two walnuts on his paws, and he looked up at Cui'er and them. Because his mouth was full, he couldn't scream, but he shook his head, and then he suddenly jumped onto the kang and went under the kang cabinet.
"Mother. What are you doing? The big girl listened to the sound of Zhaocai hiding under the kang cabinet and asked curiously.
"This ...... Fortune may be the same as storing vegetables and grains to eat in winter, and we are also hiding winter grain, right? Cui'er also looked at the bottom of the kang cabinet, thinking that it would be better not to pick up the silver hidden in her house to attract wealth.
In the days that followed, even Qingshan and Cui'er, Zhaocai himself, and small animals, were preparing for the coming winter and storing food.
The potatoes and sweet potatoes were almost grown, and even Qingshan took advantage of the good weather to get them out of the ground, and after carrying them to the house in wicker baskets, they were piled up in the house in the old yard.
Cui'er is pulling the big girl and the little tiger, sorting out these potatoes and sweet potatoes, and putting the damaged ones in a pile, which they have eaten recently, and the big ones that are not damaged are put in a pile, and the small ones are put in a pile, ready to be stacked and sweaty, and they are easy to save when it is cold.
Sometimes, Cui'er will also lead the two children to the field to accompany Lian Qingshan to pick up potatoes or something, looking at the potatoes the size of a fingernail in the field, Lian Qingshan is too lazy to pick up potatoes, Cui'er will let the big girl and Xiaohu pick them up, put them in a thin wicker basket alone, and mysteriously say that they want to make food for them.
In addition to sweet potatoes and potatoes, the vegetables planted in the old yard before, the seedlings are old, and the weather is getting colder and colder, and they can't grow anything.
After collecting the vegetables in the old yard, the cabbage and radishes on the newly opened wasteland are also ripe, and there is no frost yet, even Qingshan only collects a small half of the cabbage, and puts them neatly under the windowsill to dry, and then put them away after the drying, so that the cabbage is not good to store in winter.
Cui'er looked at the rows of neatly stacked cabbage, and her heart suddenly moved, so many cabbages are not easy to put away, why don't they accumulate into sauerkraut? Thinking so, Cui'er decided to accumulate a vat of sauerkraut and eat it slowly in winter.
