On the day of transplanting peonies, Lan Yi got up to cook before dawn, and after Zhou Weiji got up and fed the horses and donkeys at home, he took the donkeys out and put them in the car.

Zhou Wei looked at the sky and walked into the kitchen. In the soft firelight, Lan Yi was mixing noodles and preparing pancakes, this scene dispelled the cold air of late autumn and warmed the whole home.

"Daughter-in-law, shall I go to the east slope to pull two carts of seedlings over first?"

"Don't worry, you drink the hot soup on the table before you go, I'm afraid that Uncle Zhao hasn't had breakfast yet." Lan Yi raised her chin and gestured to a large bowl of millet porridge that had been prepared on the table.

"Hmm." Zhou Wei drank the porridge bowl extremely, walked behind Lan Yi, and looked at her and noodles, "So many noodles? ”

Lan Yi used a large basin today, and there were twice as many noodles in it as usual.

"It is easy to work when there are many people, and it is better to eat when there are fewer people." Lan Yi kneading the dough and said, "There are a lot of people working today, and I won't come back for dinner at noon, so I want to make a few more cakes, fry a few more vegetables, and take them to the hillside when the time comes." The dishes are not in a hurry, but the noodles have to be served first. ”

Dough making is a technical job, whether the dough cake is done well or not is about her face as a housewife, although Lan Yi has not done as well as the second aunt Li and others in the past three years, she can also handle it.

Zhou Weiji nodded and looked at a large pot of white noodles, "Daughter-in-law, you don't have to make much sumptuous, it's simple, are there any salted duck eggs at home?" ”

Lan Yi nodded, "There are a lot of duck eggs laid by the ducks on the hillside, you all love to eat salted duck eggs, I made half a jar of mud and put it away." ”

"Don't stir-fry at noon, just pancakes and salted duck eggs. It is enough to bring a few plates of other side dishes pickled at home. Zhou Weiji clapped, "It's all your own family, don't be tired." ”

Lan Yi smiled. No matter when, he always thinks about himself, afraid that he will be tired, "Wei Ji, I can't be tired today, it's you who have to work hard, just eat at noon." I'll make you something to eat in the evening, huh...... You haven't eaten egg steamed goat's milk for a few days, so I will steam more for you at night. ”

Zhou Weiji, like the two children, loves to eat egg steamed goat milk, which is Lan Yi's improved double skin milk. She thinks it's very cute.

Zhou Weiji smiled, put down the empty bowl and walked over, wrapping around Lan Yi's slender waist from behind, "Silly girl." This bit of work doesn't tire me out. I love everything you do. ”

Zhou Weiji rubbed her hair, this feeling is so good!

Lan Yi's heart was numb, a wave of sourness and warmth spread, and she was a little embarrassed to push him with her elbow, and deliberately said viciously, "I know." I just want to make something delicious for you, can't I? Go ahead. Pull two trips and come back for dinner. ”

After Zhou Weiji left, Lan Yi cleaned up the things in the kitchen, first went to the house to look at the sleeping Wenxuan, and then went to the West House, where she saw that Yu'er had woken up and was getting dressed.

"Yu'er, is it cold?"

Yu'er shook her head, "It's not cold, mother, let's plant peonies today, is there still a place for Xiaohuo to graze?" ”

Since cleaning up the back hillside, Lan Yi has led the family's sheep, horses and donkeys to the back hillside, instead of leading the peony garden to the east, and the back hillside has also left a place not suitable for planting peonies for the livestock to graze.

"Yes! It's a big place! Lan Yi reached out to button him and said with a smile.

Yu'er rolled her eyes, pulled her mother's arm and shook it, "Mother's ......"

Lan Yi snorted and chuckled, nodding his forehead, "Just be careful!"

"Mother......" Yu'er stood on the bed, hugged her mother's neck and began to be coquettish, "Yu'er wants to ride a small fire to ......"

Lan Yi was shaken dizzy by him, "Okay, okay!" Later, when your father comes back, you can discuss it with him, your father has to agree, and my mother has no opinion. ”

Yu'er listened and continued to shake, "Mother, dad listens to you the most, you said that he will definitely listen...... We have a stable in the inn, and I'll ride over and put the fire in the stable, okay? ”

This kid! Lan Yi pulled him down and put on his socks and shoes, "Good, good!" I'll tell your father, but can you make it? What should I do if I am thrown off by a horse? ”

Yu'er proudly puffed up her small chest, "No!" Dad said that Yu'er has ridden very well, and the stirrups are stepping on steadily!"

This is true, Lan Yi is also quite proud. Yu'er has really grown taller like bean sprouts in the past two years, although she is only seven years old, but she is not short at all compared to the eight or nine-year-old children in the village. Xiaohuo is a well-behaved and obedient pony, Yu'er feeds it grass when it's okay, and he also brushes when Zhou Weiji brushes the horse, so Xiaohuo is very close to him, and Yu'er takes it as a baby, and even his good friend Daifuku and Niu Dan want to ride him for fear of getting tired of the horse.

"You're a good rider, but you haven't been out of the yard much, and you can't get on and off your own horse. What can I do? Lan Yi raised very practical difficulties.

Yu'er opened her mouth, a little deflated.

Lan Yi smiled, "Think about it, and then tell your mother when you think about it." My mother went and called my brother up. ”

When Zhou Weiji came back, Lan Yi and the three had already freshened up.

Lan Yi fetched him water and washed his hands, "How is it?" ”

"After two trips, Wei Kun came over, and I came back for dinner." Zhou Weiji sat down and picked up the steamed buns and ate them in a big gulp, "Uncle Zhao said that he took Zhao Gen over there, and Zhao Miao and Su Yi will come over later." Second Uncle Wang also said that he would let Lin Xi bring the seedlings later. ”

Lan Yi nodded, it was best to let Lin Xi come over, he knew more.

Yu'er saw so many things about her father and mother, and the sensible didn't mention that she wanted to ride a horse to school, but the disappointment on her little face couldn't be hidden.

Lan Yi saw Yu'er's small appearance, pursed her lips, and asked Zhou Weiji, "You have to go and pull peonies later, right?" ”

Zhou Weiji nodded.

"Yu'er, have you thought of a way?" Lan Yi prompted.

Yu'er heard her mother's question, nodded again and again, and discussed with Zhou Weiji, "Dad, you will go to the hillside to pull peonies later, Yu'er will go to school, can Yu'er ride Xiaohuo and follow behind Dad?"

Zhou Wei was stunned, "Want to ride a horse?" ”

"Well, well, Yu'er is following behind, don't trouble Dad." Yu'er explained anxiously, "It's just that when I get to the hillside, my father just takes me down, and I lead the small fire hydrant to the stable." ”

Zhou Weiji nodded, "Well, you can't ride back after school at noon, and I'll take you over to ride back later." ”

"Good!" Seeing that her father agreed, Yu'er jumped up happily and ran out in a hurry, "Yu'er will go and take out Xiaohuo's saddle and wipe it first, and Daddy will eat it slowly." ”

"Yu'er, come back and finish the porridge first!" Lan Yi shouted.

Yu'er came back like a wind, drank a few sips, wiped his mouth and ran away with a smile. Lan Yi shook his head, this little guy is happy to be like this for this little thing!

Zhou Weiji also stood up, "I'll ...... first."

Before he could say anything, he saw his youngest son sitting there alone, looking at him with a look of disappointment and tears, how pitiful and pitiful his little appearance was...... (To be continued.) )
