Chapter 27 Picking Millet
At night, Gu Yunjiao lay on the bed, thinking about things over and over again.
She is still in the period of puberty, and the top priority is to raise her body well and grow flesh quickly, otherwise it will be too late after this period.
This body, the foundation is actually very good, but in the past half a year, there have been successive changes, and the standard of living has plummeted, so the body has become thinner.
But the trouble now is that in this family, although she can basically eat rice and vegetables, she needs to supplement protein, that is, to eat meat.
She recalled that there was a butcher shop in the town two miles away from here, and the trouble was that even if she bought meat and came back, it was inconvenient to cook and eat.
This family is like a wolf, and she doesn't want to cheapen those people.
What to do?
Gu Yunjiao suddenly thought of her own medicine storehouse, she had tried it, and the things outside could also be taken in and put away.
Or, she will make a pot in it and make her own meat to eat?
She soon rejected this idea, and the medicine warehouse was set at a constant temperature and humidity, because many Chinese medicinal materials are prone to mold and insects.
Now it's a confined space, and when you cook in it, you're afraid that you won't be able to get out.
Gu Yunjiao was worried, and she couldn't think of any good way for a while.
One day later, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The Jiang family's Mid-Autumn Festival is no different from usual.
Not to mention moon cakes, even the dishes on the dinner table have not been added.
It could be seen that everyone was a little dissatisfied, but no one dared to say anything.
Early the next morning, before dawn, Mr. Jiang knocked on the pot in the yard and woke up the eldest son's family.
Everyone hurriedly ate some multigrain cakes that had been fried last night, and stepped on the newly bright sky and went to the fields.
Old Man Jiang didn't say anything about Jiang Youzhi's hands not being able to do farm work, and when he got to the ground, he split the sickle.
Thankfully, there are a total of six sickles in the family, the second uncle and the third uncle, Jiang Erlang and Jiang Youzhi, all of whom are strong laborers, and one person has a sickle.
Old man Jiang is old and strong, and he is also a good hand at work, he took a sickle himself, and gave the rest to Shiro.
Shiro is also fifteen years old this year, and although he looks thin and thin, he is not short of strength.
The women and children of the family were arranged to thresh the grain.
Chen asked Gu Yunjiao and the eldest girl, the second girl, and the third girl to pick up the fallen millet on the ground together.
The work of collecting grain is much easier than harvesting, that is, you have to get up and squat or bend down.
Across the ridge is the Zhang family's field, the eldest son of the Zhang family's newly married daughter-in-law Peach Blossom only entered the door a few days earlier than Gu Yunjiao, and the two families also live next door, perhaps feeling that both of them are new daughters-in-law, Peach Blossom likes to be at home with the previous Gu Yunjiao.
This is Gu Yunjiao's only friend in Qingshan Village.
Peach Blossom was also arranged to pick up grain, at this time, the sky was already bright, she happened to pick it up on the ridge, Gu Yunjiao was not far away, so she gossiped with her while picking up grain.
Gu Yunjiao agreed with each other, and her hands were busy.
Peach Blossom said mysteriously: "I heard that Zhao Lichang's family is also going to find relatives for his youngest son, and he entrusted the money matchmaker from the next village." ”
Gu Yunjiao responded casually, and suddenly remembered that Mrs. Qian was her second aunt.
Peach Blossom looked envious, "Whoever marries into his family will be blessed, his family has a lot of fields, and the youngest son is an old man, and the family hurts like eyeballs, it is said that he is bent on finding a good one for him." ”
Peach Blossom said and threw down the grain in her hand and stood up, "Alas, this grain picks up my head-" Dizzy, and fell to the ground before he finished speaking.
