Chapter 122: Cooking
"Actually, I also know that my mother is looking forward to it every day, but she doesn't dare to say it. Our reputation has long been out of the woods, whose girl is willing to look for someone like me? As for what is gentle and virtuous, knowledgeable and reasonable, etc., I dare not think about it. As long as it's a girl and doesn't dislike me, then burn high incense......"
"That's not going to work. Let's not talk about what it looks like, the first is that we must honor the elderly, not only to honor our parents, but also to the old people of my mother-in-law's family. Long Hao's attitude was very resolute.
In his previous life, he had seen too many mothers-in-law and aunts who did not respect the elderly, some to the point of incredible. Many men have been very miserable, what life ideals and so on are all out of the clouds, and life is the only expectation. There are also men who are cornered and take risks.
In her previous life, her mother-in-law was not bad in this regard, especially her father and mother, and she was often taken to live at home, and many times she lived for several months. The in-laws are also passable, and they come over to live for a few days every year, make good food, buy clothes, and spend money on treatment when they are sick.
It's just that the in-laws can't live at home for too long, otherwise they will put their faces. There are also restrictions on spending money, and you are not willing to spend a little large amount of money, and even if you spend it in the end, it will take a few days to make trouble.
Whenever this time, Long Hao was very painful. Sometimes I really want to make a big fuss, or even break up in two. Father and mother saw his thoughts, whispered a few words, said that it was enough, and I am afraid that it would be better to find another one, and said that our family married a few mothers-in-law, just count this knowledgeable, don't be dissatisfied, and then quietly go back.
Long Hao sighed, he didn't think about anything. How can we measure the present with old eyes and old traditions? In the past, when a woman marries into the family, she obeys everything unconditionally and becomes a slave. Now that women are emancipated, they can earn money, and they have enough right to speak.
It's just that some women are too self-righteous, and the material is simply no longer materialistic, and they have brought a large number of women to the bottom, which is the most hateful.
So Long Hao made such a request to Hu Changfa, which is also a requirement for every brother. You must be cautious when looking for a partner, and you must not find a material woman, let alone a woman who is not filial to the elderly.
Let those women who are eager to squeeze the man's eighteen generations of ancestors dry, as well as women who take the death of their in-laws as a condition for marriage, will not find a market in this life, and finally enter the eighteenth layer of hell and enjoy it slowly.
"Brother Hao, I won't say this in advance. We're on the highway soon, do you want to go home, or do you want to go to the north of the town and stay in the north of the town first, and then go back tomorrow? Hu Changfa asked.
"I've already come out, but I'm still going home, it's only midnight, and I'm going back before dawn. It's the autumn harvest, and the family is very busy, so I won't delay. Long Hao took a puff of his cigarette.
"Why don't I escort you one more time?"
"Not really. So many people didn't treat us like this, who else dared to touch us? You can't go back together, it's better to run south for a while, and then run separately so that no one will recognize you. ”
"Please rest assured that this is tightly packaged, and you can't recognize it even when you walk to it. Then I won't send you away, but when they come, you will go back, and we will go separately. ”
"Good!"
The words are divided into two ends. Walking down a line, everyone is easy to get tired. Then let's pause for a moment and talk about our hometown, the barren Longjiayu Village.
Before the fifth watch, Uncle Sun got up and drove the cattle to Xu Yi's field. He took out a long rope and tied the cattle to the edge of the field, so that they could eat the grass at the edge of the field, but they could not eat the grain in the field. Then he picked up the sickle and began to harvest the buckwheat.
Xu Yi also got up, but did not go to the ground. She didn't know how to use a scythe, and accidentally cut off her hands and even her legs. It doesn't matter if it's a small wound, just wrap it yourself. The big wound is a bit troublesome, and you have to go to the village doctor, or even to the village hygienist.
Fortunately, Xu Yi has only suffered a few minor injuries, and she will be fine if she wraps it herself. It's just that Uncle Sun will no longer let him collect grain, not even the field, let her stay at home, and not causing trouble is the biggest help.
Today she got up early, not to go to the field, but to cook for Uncle Sun's family.
The hardest and most tiring part of the year is to harvest autumn. It's almost a month, and it's really early and late, no dawn and no night. People who are in poor health, once they go to the autumn harvest, they will collapse if they don't do it well. Even if you are physically strong, you have to lose a few pounds of meat this month.
Therefore, no matter whether you are rich or poor, you will try your best to make something delicious and make your life as good as possible. Every day, you have to have some meat or a few eggs, and the white flour bun can be eaten in addition to the New Year, and then these days.
In good conditions, you also need fried oil cakes at home. When you take a break, eat two fragrant oil cakes, it is simply a fairy day.
Xu Yi didn't have fried oil cakes. Long Hao bought a lot of white noodles, and he exchanged flax for some clear oil, which had the conditions for fried oil cakes. But Aunt Sun said that she wanted fried oil cakes at home anyway, just bring some for her, and said that Haozi was often not at home, and the two of them couldn't eat much, so it was enough to fry a few more.
There was no way, Xu Yi picked up half a bag of white noodles, poured some clear oil and sent it to Aunt Sun's house. This time, Aunt Sun was not polite, saying that she would fry more oil cakes and fry some gadgets for Yu Yu to eat.
All the meat that Long Hao bought back before was marinated, and the rest had to eat meat at every meal. But after all, it's a child, and you can't eat much if you let go. Xu Yi also ate meat, but only ate a little bit of it at each meal. It's not that I feel sorry for the meat, but I want to keep in shape.
Everyone has a love for beauty. Even if you come to a remote rural area, the poor can't open the pot many times, but what should be kept has to be maintained. If you want to go back to the city one day, you have a slim and toned body, and that is your own capital.
Even in the countryside, she doesn't want to be sloppy. She really couldn't imagine what kind of disaster it would be for her to be bloated and vulgar.
If you have this innate condition, you have to keep it well. If you let it go and end up with a bucket, it will be the biggest failure in life.
Half a pot of meat was stir-fried, and several eggs were added. I caught a dozen chickens before, and they have already begun to lay eggs, just for Uncle Sun to eat.
The rice has been steamed, and a large pot is full, full of crystal clear rice. Yesterday, I told Aunt Sun that I would make my own dinner in the morning and lunch, and let Aunt Sun do it in the afternoon. Originally, she wanted to wrap up all the meals for this half month, but Aunt Sun resolutely disagreed, so she had to cook morning and noon first.
In the city, breakfast is porridge and soy milk or something, and then eat a bun or something, and it will be solved. The most convenient thing is a bowl of buckwheat noodles in sour soup, which is very comfortable to eat and filling. At noon, rice and white noodles, big fish and meat, formal dinner.
It's not good in the countryside, especially in the autumn, if you drink porridge and soy milk, how can you still work hard? Eat thin when you are free, eat dry when you are busy, and eat dry when you are not busy, not idle, not dry, not thin, the great man summed up too much in line with the reality of the countryside.
I went to work in the field at four or five o'clock in the morning, and by eight o'clock I had been working for three or four hours, and I had to replenish my energy. The best addition is what came to be said later, hard vegetables, as well as rice and white noodles.
The rice was ready, and Aunt Sun also came over. She asked Xu Yi and Yu Yu to eat and sent it to the field herself. But Xu Yi was very resolute, and asked Aunt Sun to take Yu Yu to eat at home, and then filled a jar full of rice, a big bowl of meat dishes, and scooped up half a jar of rice soup and sent it to the field.
Uncle Sun squatted on the ground, didn't raise his head, and kept waving his sickle. Everyone else bends down to harvest, so that the movement is fast and the harvest speed is also fast. He is old, and his waist is not very good, and he can't stand bending over for a long time, so he has to squat and harvest.
It is indeed slower than others, but at the end of the day, the number of acres harvested is about the same. No one can stand the old bending, and after a while of harvesting, you have to stand up and rest, sometimes for dozens of seconds.
Uncle Sun has been non-stop. He is reaping while others are reaping, and he is reaping while others are resting, like a machine, seemingly tireless.
Certainly not a machine, and not tirelessly. He also wanted to rest, but seeing that the grain was about to be ripe, and if he didn't harvest it, it would fall into the ground, so he could only secretly cheer up and keep moving forward.
After all, he is a child who has grown up, and he has such a good relationship with his son, just like his own son, he has to help no matter what. What's more, it's getting better now, taking my son to do business, and listening to my son, it's quite good.
If this continues, I no longer have to go out to run business in the wind and rain, and it won't cost much to concentrate on taking care of these few acres of land at home.
