Chapter 168: Why Are You Crying Again?
When Liu Paner was doing work, she quickly ate a flatbread, two bowls of thin rice porridge, and an egg. Morning and evening simple, but delicious.
Liu Paner especially likes to eat the flatbread made by Liu's, which is very thick, soft and very chewy, "Sister-in-law, I'll eat it and send them food." You clean up your house, and when you're done, go back to the fields. Let the children cook at home, bring water, and stop working in the fields. ”
Li Fang and Li Li insisted, "Third aunt, we can work and cut the ears of rice with a knife." ”
Liu Paner had already given the children a taste of hard work yesterday, and today she hired so many people, so she didn't want the children to continue to work in the fields.
"Ah Fang, Ah Li, I know you are very capable. I've put you on a home cooking, and there's a lot more important stuff to do. Later I would have the ears of rice carried on their backs, and I would drive the ox cart home. The grain is placed on the threshing floor in front of our door, and it needs to be watched. In addition, it needs to be turned over to dry every other hour. ”
Hearing the words of the third aunt, Li Fang nodded and smiled, "Third aunt, we must take care of the family, cook well, and turn the rice in time." ”
Liu Paner smiled and praised, "They are all good children." ”
Although the little girls are tanned, they are more confident and have a light in their eyes.
Liu Paner came to her own rice field with a flat shoulder, a basket containing flatbread at one end, and a clay pot with thin rice porridge at the other.
Li Dabao drove the ox cart and greeted his mother, "Mother, you come up and take the car." ”
Liu Paner waved her hand and refused, "No need, on the ox cart, if you are not careful, the crockpot will be scattered." ”
Seeing this, Li Dabao had no choice but to give up, "Mother, then I'll hurry up and let them move the ears of rice down." When you bring the rice over, we'll bring these ears of rice back. ”
Liu Paner happily agreed, "Go!" ”
Let's say that after Liu Paner left, except for Boss Zheng, two people straightened up and rested for a while.
When Boss Zheng saw it, he frowned, "Second, third, don't be lazy." The owner has a high salary, and we can't take other people's money for nothing. ”
Zheng Lao Er hurriedly continued to work, not daring to refute the eldest brother.
Zheng Laosan had an idea and pointed to the ears of rice, "Big brother, I'm not lazy, look at this ear of rice, it's bigger and fuller than our family's ears of rice." ”
Of course, Boss Zheng saw it, and he had long been thinking in his heart that after finishing his work, he would buy some rice seeds from the owner.
"Yes, the rice here is better than ours, and the double-cropping rice we planted, even if it is the first crop, does not grow as well as the rice here. Let's be diligent, and when we finish our work, we can also open our mouths to buy rice seeds from the owner. ”
Zheng Laosan nodded, he also had such thoughts, "What the eldest brother said is, let's pay attention to it later, let's see the yield of this rice." ”
Eight people work harder and harder.
Li Dabao parked the ox cart under the terraced fields and came to his own land, "Uncles and uncles, my mother is on the way, come over with breakfast immediately, and ask you uncles and uncles to carry the rice ears in the basket to the bottom of the terraces, and I will transport them home." ”
Boss Zheng saw that he was a ten-year-old boy, but he was not ordinary children, he was very stable and spoke clearly, "Okay, little boss." ”
Boss Zheng put down the knife in his hand and took the others to carry down the rice ears at the height of the terraces.
As soon as the ox cart was filled, Liu Paner arrived with breakfast.
Liu Pan'er handed the pick to Boss Zheng, "Brother Zheng, this is breakfast, you go back to the field to eat first, and I will send these paddies to the threshing floor first." ”
Boss Zheng stood closest to Liu Pan'er, and he could already smell the tempting fragrance inside, this kind of fragrance, he had never smelled before, but he could be sure that there were meat dishes in it.
The proprietor was kind, and gave them meat early in the morning.
Boss Zheng took the pick, and replied with a hearty smile: "Boss, thank you." ”
"No thanks, thank you for your hard work." Liu Paner is very polite, and she has always been like this to her employees
Only in this way can employees reach their full potential.
Li Dabao followed the hired workers to the fields, and Liu Paner drove the ox cart home.
When they got home, Liu had just cleaned up the house, Li Fang and Li Li had washed their clothes and were drying them, and Li Rong had just cleaned the threshing floor.
Liu came over and poured a dozen baskets containing ears of rice on the ox cart with Liu Paner on the threshing floor and spread them on the ground. When the sun becomes hot and takes away the moisture in the rice, it can be stored for a long time.
Looking at so much food, Liu's eyes were hot, his nose was slightly sour, and he wiped his tears.
Seeing this, Liu Paner patted her sister-in-law's shoulder, "Why are you crying again?" The sky is to things, spring is born and autumn is fruitful. We planted the paddy and worked hard to get to where we are now, and we deserve it. This is true in everything you do. If you want to get something for nothing, it's definitely not feasible. ”
Liu smiled shyly, "I'm happy, we have harvested so many good things in the field and sold so much silver." Seeing these life-saving paddy grains, my heart is reassured. ”
Liu Paner smiled, "Living in a big house makes you more down-to-earth." Sister-in-law, let's not delay, hurry up and get off the ground. By the way, sister-in-law, you have to take a broom, clean the two bamboo sheds next to Li Er's house, spread thick dry straw on the ground, and then spread a mat for today's eight hired workers. We're all women, and we can't let them live near our cave. ”
When Liu heard this, he thought deeply, "Yes, I took a broom and went over to clean it." ”
Liu Paner drove the ox cart to the field to bring back the ears of rice, and Liu cleaned up the bamboo shed, sprinkled realgar powder, and took a broken porcelain basin from home, in which some wormwood and herbs were placed to smoke mosquitoes.
In order to facilitate eating, Liu also moved a small bamboo table at home. Hearing that these people brought their own basins and chopsticks, Liu brought an old clay pot for boiling water at home and placed it on a small makeshift stove to make it easier for hired workers to boil water.
Boss Zheng returned to the field, smelling the fragrance wafting from the basket in front of him along the way, and kept swallowing.
When he arrived at the field, he couldn't wait to put it down, Boss Zheng lifted the cage cloth on it, and saw that it was a cake, and there was a piece of intestines in it, and he was curious.
When did it smell so good?
Zheng Laosan brought a basin of water from the stream, and everyone washed their hands and came over to get cakes to eat.
Everyone sat on the end of the rice without ears, hungry, picked up the flatbread, and took a hard bite.
The flatbread is soft, the taste is chewy, and in a bite of the cake, there are intestines, and refreshing cucumber shreds, the texture is very rich, and the taste is also very domineering.
Fragrant and delicious.
Anyway, they have never eaten such a delicious thing, and it is better than roast meat at home.
Li Dabao saw that everyone was eating and reminded them, "There is thin rice porridge in the crockpot, don't choke." ”
"Thank you, little owner." After eating a cake, Boss Zheng was indeed a little choked because he ate it quickly, so he hurriedly filled a bowl of thin rice porridge, which was warm and just right to drink.
The proprietors are very attentive and thoughtful, and they have to work diligently.
