Chapter 102: Enlistment
Dried bamboo shoots are easy to make, not too difficult. Chun Tao got up early in the morning and dug in the bamboo forest for a while before starting to peel the bamboo shoots, ready to make dried bamboo shoots.
"I didn't expect you to peel bamboo shoots, it's amazing." The action of peeling bamboo shoots in spring peach was clean and neat, and Aunt Zhou's eyes were straight.
Chun Tao is not used to being praised, so he suddenly teaches how to peel bamboo shoots. "Make a cut in the middle, and it will be peeled off in no time."
Aunt Zhou picked up the knife that Chun Tao put down, "That mother will also help you peel it." ”
"I'm done, you peel it!" Chun Tao hurriedly took the knife, afraid of hurting Aunt Zhou.
"Okay! Is that so? Aunt Zhou peeled it off and stretched it out to Chun Tao.
"Hmm!" Chun Tao nodded and cut all the bamboo shoots apart.
"Hiss~" Aunt Zhou put down the last bamboo shoot and looked at her reddish fingers.
Chun Tao also leaned over and looked at it, "Why don't you get some medicine!" ”
"No, my mother is not so squeamish."
Chun Tao raised her eyes and looked at Aunt Zhou, without saying a word, she brought the peeled bamboo shoots to the well, and soaked them in well water.
"Mother, you rest first, I'll go boil water."
"Good!" Aunt Zhou agreed simply, but the person didn't move, and when she saw Chun Tao enter the stove room, she took a broom and began to clean up the garbage.
When Chun Tao came out of boiling water, he saw that the ground was already clean. "Mother, why don't you rest?"
"I'll go now." Aunt Zhou smiled and put down the broom and went back to the room.
Chun Tao looked at Aunt Zhou's back, looked at the ground again, moved a small stool and began to clean the dirty things on the bamboo shoots.
It's just a pot, and I dug a lot of it, and there's nothing left after peeling it. Looking at a pot of bamboo shoots, Chun Tao felt a little depressed, she was busy for a day before a pot, and there was nothing left after drying.
After stuffing the bamboo shoots and putting salt, Chun Tao brought in three buckets of water.
After the bamboo shoots are cooked, Chun Tao takes out the bamboo shoots and puts them in the bucket, and then passes through the middle of the bamboo shoots and puts them in the second bucket, and after putting them all in, they are moved to the third bucket.
After cooling, the bamboo shoots were cut into about four slices, placed directly on the bamboo sieve to dry, and by the way, the dried vegetables dried in the previous days were put away and placed in the cellar.
Winter is coming, and I don't know if these dishes will grow. Chun Tao was worried while watering the vegetable seeds in the clearing.
The most planted in the open space are cabbage and radish, as well as some lettuce, green onions, and garlic, all of which are taken from Lao Wang.
The bamboo shoots have to be peeled, but if you peel them like this, your hands will be wasted. Why don't you let your mother help make a glove! This will also reduce the damage of some opponents.
"Mother, I want you to make me a glove."
"Gloves? Is it on the hand? ”
Chun Tao handed Zhou the pattern she had drawn in advance. "Hmmm! This is what it looks like. Can you sew one for me? ”
"Is it what a hand looks like? Simple, mom will do it now, make two for you. ”
"Hmmm! Then I'm going to get busy. After Chun Tao came out of Aunt Zhou's room, she took the tools and went into the bamboo forest again to start digging bamboo shoots.
Chun Tao was walking home with a basket full of bamboo shoots, and saw two figures, one wearing a pink coat and the other a linen cloth. "March? Lamei? ”
As soon as Lamei heard the voice, she threw herself at Chun Tao and hugged her crying. "Spring peach, hmm~"
"This..."Chun Tao looked at March at a loss, and there was something in her hand that couldn't push her away. What's wrong? March. ”
"Just let her cry for a while!" March gently patted Lamei's back, rare gentleness.
Chun Tao felt that her whole body was numb, and Lamei stopped crying. "I'm sorry."
"It's okay, March, help me get something, I'm numb."
Lamei reached out and took the basket, which was taken by March again. "I'll take it, let's go!"
After putting away the things, Chun Tao took the two into the bedroom. "Drink some water."
Lamei drank the water, and her emotions were not so excited. "I'm fine, don't worry."
"What the hell is going on?" Chun Tao looked at Lamei, and then looked at March.
"I didn't know, she came to my house early in the morning. Ask her, she won't say anything, and I'll bring it to you. ”
"Lamei, what's wrong with you?" As soon as Chun Tao asked, Lamei felt aggrieved, and tears burst out of her eyes again.
"Don't ask." March had never seen Lamei so sad, and helped her wipe her tears. "Don't cry, your handkerchiefs are wet."
"Don't ask? Just let her cry all the time? Chun Tao looked at Lamei, thought quietly, and raised her voice. Don't cry. ”
March and Lamei were startled by Chun Tao and stared at her blankly, and Lamei forgot to cry.
"Say it! What's up. Chun Tao blinked awkwardly, pretending to drink water, not facing the two of them.
Unable to wipe away her tears, Lamei put down her handkerchief, let it flow, and spoke slowly. "Third brother, he... He's going to join the army. ”
"In the army? What was he thinking? You haven't gotten married yet, he's going to join the army, so... How long will it take to come back? This... So what do you do? Did he think about you? "As soon as March heard it, he immediately exploded.
"I... I don't know, he... Hiccup~ He wishes I could wait for him. Lamei was already crying and hiccuping.
"And what do you mean?" Chun Tao looked at Lamei calmly, wondering what she meant.
"I..."
"Do you want to wait?"
March quietly pinched Chun Tao, leaned into her ear and whispered: "Don't keep pushing her, she is in a bad mood." ”
Chun Tao slapped March's hand away, stared at Lamei, and insisted on waiting for Lamei's answer.
"Wait, I... I want to wait for the third brother, but... But my family wouldn't agree. When they found out about it, they just... Just come to the door... Want... To..."
Lamei cried so much that she couldn't speak, and March hurriedly patted her on the back to help her calm down.
"To... To get out of the marriage. After speaking, Lamei lay on the table and cried again.
"It's... So serious? March stopped in surprise, and Chun Tao gave her a look, and she reacted and continued to help Shunqi.
"You don't want to get married?"
"Needless to say! Lamei and Zhao Boting have known each other for so long, how could they be willing to withdraw from the marriage. I said that he is too, why would he be willing to leave you and join the army! ”
Zhao Boting is indeed a bit selfish in doing this, but Lamei wants to wait, as a friend, she should help her. Chun Tao thought for a while and asked, "Then how do you want us to help you?" ”
"Lamei!" Lamei couldn't stop crying, and she couldn't hear what Chun Tao was talking about. "How do you want us to help you?"
"I don't know, I'm really... I really don't know. Lamei shook her head and spoke vaguely, and March shook her head behind her and squeezed her eyes to signal Chun Tao not to ask again.
Chun Tao listened to Lamei's cry and felt more and more upset. "I'll go out first, and I'll come back when she's calm."
"Can you calm down?" Finally, Lamei stopped crying, and Chun Tao returned to the room.
"Hmm!" Lamei lowered her head and nodded slightly. "Just rude."
"It's okay, do you have any thoughts on this?"
"I have to wait for the third brother, but my father and mother asked me to marry someone else, and I will never marry."
"It's the first time I've heard you disobey your parents like this." March interjected at an inopportune time.
Is it really the time to talk about this when you don't open a pot? Chun Tao glared at March, and March realized that she had said the wrong thing and closed her mouth.
"I've decided!" Lamei wiped away the tears from her face, sat up straight, and looked at Chun Tao firmly.
"What?" March and Chun Tao looked nervously at Lamei's mouth.
"I'm going to be like Chun Tao."
