The more busy the farming, the more idle Song Haonian and his wife became.

Now they hand over more work to others, and they only have to do some light work at home, Song Haonian still has to steam the flower dew and clean up the vegetable patch, and Lily only cooks and settles accounts, which really has a bit of the taste of the landlord's wife.

Lily can't be idle, but fortunately, there are a lot of trivial things at home, so she really has nothing to do, so she sews insoles and socks for Song Haonian, and makes a few small things, and she doesn't feel bored.

Jing Ji thought about it, and on this day, Xing'er came to look for lilies with a handful of raspberries, saying that she bought them on the street and wanted to share them with her aunt. Lily picked two and tasted it, sweet and sour, couldn't help but hook out the gluttonous insects, turned around and went to find Song Haonian and said: "I want to go into Xiaodonggou to pick some raspberries to eat." ”

Song Haonian was stunned for a moment, thinking that there was no shortage of money at home, why did he force his daughter-in-law to pick wild fruits to pay back, and then he figured out: Lily is greedy.

He looked outside, and the sun was hanging in the sky, stabbing people who couldn't open their eyes, so he coaxed her softly: "I'll go back tomorrow in the morning." ”

Lily smiled and nodded: "Naturally, I'll go back tomorrow in the morning, and I'll talk to you first." "Lest this man feel sorry for her again at that time, lest she should be in the wilderness and the sun will be burned and the wind blow.

Song Haonian was really not at ease: "I'll go with you." ”

Lily said that she used to go to Xiaodonggou alone, and if she was really not at ease, she would take the black tiger with her. Song Haonian said: "When I was not at home, I asked you to go up the mountain alone, and you were tired and sick, and now that I am at home, you still don't ask me to go, what is the difference between marrying such a man and not marrying?"

Lily had no choice but to nod her head. Early the next morning, the little couple each carried a basket into Xiaodonggou, as long as the raspberry that Lily fancied, she didn't need to do it, Song Haonian quickly picked it up and put it in the basket.

He was tall, and the branches that ordinary people could not reach, were full of crystal clear fruits, and when he picked them, he was full of them, and the lilies only needed to move their legs, not even their hands.

"If you're like this, sooner or later you'll raise me to be a lazy woman. Lily squinted and smiled.

Song Haonian tiptoed and picked another handful of black raspberries, and also laughed: "If you are lazy, you will be lazy, not afraid." ”

He was only afraid that she would run out of oil at a young age, and die because of perennial labor, and now her body is slowly getting better, but every time he thinks of what Liu Langzhong said, cold sweat seeps out of his back.

As long as the daughter-in-law is still there, she can't enjoy it too much.

Picking a basket of raspberries, Song Haonian folded a few poplar leaves and covered them on the top, so as not to let the sun burn, seeing that the sun was rising higher and higher, the young couple turned around and walked home.

There is also a stream in Xiaodonggou, which winds down from the mountains and joins the Baishui River. In the gentle part of the mountain, the streams gather in a meandering way to form a pool, and the bluestones washed clean by the current are dotted among them, and there is a faint moss on them.

Song Haonian was full of raspberry juice, walked to the water's edge to wash his hands, Lily followed, her hands were clean, and she also had fun washing her hands, and when she saw that there were a few stones in the water with strange and beautiful colors, she reached out to pick them up and see.

Unexpectedly, a flower in front of him, something flashed away, and Lily was startled: "Ah!"

Song Haonian couldn't help but smile: "It's okay, it's a shrimp." ”

"Are there shrimp in the water?" Lily was amazed, staring at the water, hoping to see another shrimp.

Song Haonian said: "There are shrimp in the Baishui River and in these streams. "When he was a child, he fished for shrimp and crabs, and he also caught a lot of small whitebait in the Baishui River.

He was really a little amused when he saw Lily's eyes open, and he was playful for a while, took off his shoes, rolled up his cuffs and trousers, and stood in the water: "The shrimp are hidden in the cracks of the stones, you don't know if you haven't caught them." ”

Experienced people like him can tell where shrimp are hidden and where crabs are hidden.

There happened to be an empty basket, Song Haonian lifted the stones at the bottom of the water with one hand, and probed forward with the other, then picked up a live shrimp and threw it into the basket.

Lily hurriedly came up to take a look, the shrimp was about the size of her little finger, the whole body was transparent, only the shrimp line part was black, no wonder she couldn't see it when she didn't pay attention.

Song Haonian had the heart to do his best in front of the lily, and quickly caught seven or eight of them, and threw them into the basket: "This shrimp is stupid, and if you put it in the basket, you don't know how to run out." ”

Lily sat next to her, pinched a few Ma Lian casually, and said with a smile: "New Year, today's lunch depends on you to catch shrimp, and I will weave a steamer for Xing'er to play." ”

The leaves of the horse lotus grass are flattened, and the four roots are folded in half, interspersed and intertwined with each other, and are woven into multiple layers, like a boxy steamer, which is useless, and is made up to coax children to play.

Song Haonian smiled, "Cheng, you play yours." ”

Lily had the heart to say that she wasn't playing by herself, but she was playing with Xing'er, but she didn't say it: she was really happy to have fun.

Waiting for Lily to weave two grass steamers, and to Song Dagui's foal to weave a "horse whip", he carried his own broom as a horse to ride this whip can throw this whip to beat the horse, Song Haonian also caught half a basket of shrimp, all the stones in the waterhole for him to turn, the stream is a little muddy.

Song Haonian straightened up and said: "There are many people in Xiaodonggou this year, and when there were few people in previous years, it was not a problem to catch a basket. ”

There are many people in Xiaodonggou, and in the final analysis, it still falls on Lily, if she hadn't picked raspberries for money first, others would not have thought of this stubble for a while.

Half a basket of shrimp was enough, Lily urged Song Haonian to put on his shoes and carry raspberries by himself, Song Haonian lifted the shrimp that dripped down, and the two went home.

When he returned home, without waiting for Lily to say, Song Haonian took a pair of scissors very consciously and automatically, cut off the shrimp whiskers, cut the shrimp shell, twisted the shrimp head, and removed the shrimp line, leaving only translucent shrimp, which was handled cleanly.

Lily hoists the raspberries into the well, goes to the kitchen to soak a few mountain mushrooms, blanches them with shredded carrots, takes them out, squeezes them dry, and chops them into minced pieces. The shrimp is also chopped into very fine pieces, the finer the more sticky they become, and finally they form a gelatinous mud.

Mix the shrimp puree, mushrooms, and chopped carrots, add some chopped green onions, add a few drops of rice wine to remove the smell, and then season with salt, pepper and sugar to increase the freshness, and whip in one direction.

After stirring well, use your hands to form palm-sized cakes, fry them in an oil pan until golden brown on both sides, break off in the middle, and the umami can be smelled outside the yard.

Lily washed his hands, grabbed a piece of shrimp cake and fed it to Song Haonian, he chewed two bites, and said with a smile: "It's really fragrant!"

One person eats one first, the shrimp is tender, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with an indescribable umami, making people want to eat it. There are not many partial shrimps, and a total of about a dozen cakes are made, and they are not eaten at all.

This thing can be eaten by adults and children, especially suitable for little dolls with tender teeth, Lily picked up a few cakes, separated the raspberries and the Ma Lian that was braided, and went to Liu Yi's house and Song Dagui's house, and sent them to Xing'er and Ju'er. Song Haonian didn't stop her in these few steps, she worked hard to roll the noodles, and ate them on the surface of the water at noon. When Lily came back, she was not empty-handed, Li Caifeng steamed eggplant stuffed buns, and loaded her with more than a dozen, and the eldest sister-in-law knew that she loved to eat hot and sour belly soup, so she left a pork belly and tied it with hemp rope

If you think the soup is too hot, it is delicious to cook it and mix it into belly strips.

A large pot of slurry water surface plus eggplant buns, lunch is very rich, there are not many shrimp cakes in total, there are many people who eat, Lily takes a knife to chop the cakes, but one person tastes one or two bites.

She specially left a whole cake for Song Haonian, everyone was used to her being so partial, no one said anything, only Song Ermei looked at her and smiled, laughing so much that Lily blushed.

Song Haonian broke the shrimp cake in half, and the big half was given to the lily, and the two of them ate a cake so sticky, obviously they had been married for several years, and they were still as enthusiastic as a newlywed. Song Haonian saw that Lily liked to eat this thing, and the next day he went down to the river to catch a large basket of shrimp, this time everyone could get two, and they ate deliciously, and they all came up with ideas on how to fish for shrimp and how to catch crabs, and Lily laughed when he heard it: "Do you want to fish for shrimp, or do you want to be a trickster?"

”

Shrimp fishing is a little doll's livelihood, and I can't catch a few in a day, and I have to dig earthworms and get fishing lines, which is very time-saving.

Everyone laughed and talked about this year's harvest: "In March and April, the weather was not good, and I saw that this year's corn did not grow very high, and the fruit was extra sweet." ”

At this time, the apples and apricots in the town are already green and red, and those that ripen early can be eaten one after another, and those that ripen late are still growing.

Lilies chopped corn stalks are chewed as sugar cane, although they are not as tender as last year, but they are also sweeter, knowing that it is due to the drought: "This year there is little rain, and these things are sweet." ”

Wang Yongxing said: "The Huang family has built a big yard! These days, I look like it is almost done, and I don't know when the Huang family will move in, so we can also see the pomp and circumstance of the big family." ”

Her man said: "It's not that you haven't seen Master Liu's house, the move of a big family is a big deal, how can you show us the excitement." ”

But Master Liu's family lives in Qingliu Town, after all, it is low-key, this foreign rich man's family is building a house in front of the Song family's flower field, and the sound of the trumpet shouted every day can be heard clearly, several of them are working in the field, even if they can't see it, they are all curious about Master Huang's family.

Song Haonian is still stable: "After such a big house is built, sooner or later it will have to be moved." Their family is a big business, and everyone in the town will know it when they move, and they will never miss such a lively activity again. ”

Song Ermei said with a smile: "In the future, your family will be neighbors with the rich man's family, but you have to be careful, don't let Diao Nu bully you." ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone remembered Liu Zhonglai, the housekeeper of Liufu, Liu Zhong's son Liu Yaowen and the Spring Festival were in a uproar, and Lily had to send her sister to the county to avoid the limelight, thinking that she didn't have any good ideas about Liu Zhong. Lily blinked, remembering that the dividends sent by the end of the noodle shop this month were obviously less than in previous months, which shows that there may not be such a thing as a slave bullying the master, but there are many things to bully the poor villagers.
