The next day, the radio that greeted everyone to get up changed from music to Yin Guofu's voice.

"Attention all the villagers, today put down all work and rush to harvest peanuts. According to the instructions of the captain, the orderly harvest, improve efficiency, and be sure to complete the harvest today. Attention ...... all villagers"

Yin Guofu's voice came out through the wires, resounding throughout the village, and with a wide echo.

This made everyone fall into a kind of nervousness, Yin Zhengxian was already waiting at the meeting place, and he quickly arranged everyone's tasks.

"Xiao Tao, you can't be idle today, so let's go with your aunt to cook at noon."

There was a time before when I ate in large collectives, and there were ready-made canteens.

Today's special situation, every family has no time to go back to cook, so they eat a big pot of rice.

The tools that can be used to harvest peanuts are very limited, and they have all been taken away, and Tao Wan really has no need to stay in the warehouse.

Yin Zhengxian is facing her, sending her a good livelihood, Tao Wan understands: "Okay, I'll listen to my uncle's arrangement." ”

Yin Zhengxian was very good at mobilizing everyone, and the villagers all went up the mountain with all their energy.

Tao Wan was also claimed by Liu Yan and walked to the village canteen.

Liu Yan usually takes Yin Jiaojiao with her when she goes to work, but this time the two daughters, one older and one younger, are by her side, and Liu Yan's eyebrows are flying.

"Xiao Tao, come here."

Wang Lanxiang brought Tao Wan to a large box of kidney beans: "You picked this in the morning." ”

"Hey."

Kidney beans have a special aroma, easy to feed, have yield, and are salty and salty, which is the most common dish in summer.

An old lady was shaving potatoes and soaking kelp next to her, and at noon she was going to stew them together.

In addition to Tao Wan and Liu Yan, there are also two old ladies working in the kitchen.

One old lady can't afford half of the labor, and the other is helping to watch the children outside, and Tao Wan and Wang Lanxiang are responsible for the food of the whole village, so the work is not easy.

But fortunately, he was able to sit and have shade, and Tao Wan was very content.

The kitchen is four large iron pots, Wang Lanxiang steamed a large pot of sweet potatoes, and made cornmeal poop with cornmeal on the side.

"Xiao Tao, you just need to take the spoon."

Liu Yan held a tortilla in her hand, and pasted it on the pot when the dough was ready.

"Is this enough, auntie? Everyone went to work early in the morning, so there must have been a lot of food. ”

"That's all there is to it, just go home and get a green onion to eat."

The living conditions are limited, and everyone usually doesn't eat much.

As long as the sweet potatoes and tortillas are enough, there is not much need for vegetables.

Tao Wan understood, and added a little more salt when cooking.

Of course, you need to use a big shovel with a cauldron, Tao Wan is holding a cauldron and shovel on tiptoe in the pot, which is a physical work.

The old lady next to her finished her work, and looked at it and smiled: "Yanzi, you hurry up and help her, she is about to put herself in the wok." ”

When Tao Wan heard this, she smiled awkwardly: "It's okay, I'll move the ground." Auntie, you just do your job, don't delay everyone's dinner. ”

Liu Yan also laughed, and saw a trace of sweat on Tao Wan's forehead: "Aunt Yang, let me tell you, don't look at Xiao Tao's weak appearance, you can work hard." ”

"It's a good doll." Aunt Yang sat on the threshold, looking at Tao Wan's eyes full of appreciation, and also complimenting.

"I have little strength, so I have to work harder."

Tao Wan's words made Liu Yan like it badly.

This kid is really painful.

Liu Yan's work in her hands didn't stop, and she chatted with Aunt Yang: "It's not easy for them to be educated youths, and they will leave their hometown at such a young age." ”

"yes." Aunt Yang looked at Tao Wan: "Xiao Tao, how many brothers and sisters do you have in your family?" Why did you come here with such a little petite? ”

Tao Wan's stir-fried spatula paused: "There is a sister born to a stepmother below." ”

As soon as they heard the word "stepmother", Liu Yan and Aunt Yang looked at Tao Wan's eyes and immediately wrote pity.

No wonder he is so sensible, he used to beg for a living under his stepmother.

If there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather, the eternal truth.

"You kid, you never talk about what's going on in your house. If it weren't for your grandmother mentioning it today, I wouldn't have known. Now she is not interested in divorce, saying that she has a stepmother, Liu Yan's first reaction is that Tao Wan lost her mother.

But Liu Yan felt distressed, this child looked so likable, she thought it was a big family with good upbringing, but it turned out that the motherless child was sensible early.

It's not that the stepmother is not good, but looking at Tao Wan's appearance that she doesn't want to mention, she knows that the stepmother is not a good person.

"There's nothing to mention about the main thing."

"Also, it's useless for you to come to Yinjiazhuang and be homesick. But you are at your aunt's house, your aunt will definitely treat you as a daughter, Qingbai is your brother, Hongfeng and Jiaojiao are your younger brothers and sisters, we are just like a family, you don't have to be homesick. ”

Liu Yan is very real, and Tao Wan can also feel Liu Yan's concern for her from getting along in the past few days.

But hearing Liu Yan say this, Tao Wan couldn't help but think that Yin Qingbai didn't want her to be her sister very much.

This thought only flashed in Tao Wan's mind: "I know my aunt." ”

。

Everyone got up at four o'clock in the morning and worked until noon, and worked hard at seven o'clock.

Hungry, tired, everyone went down the mountain with Venus in their eyes.

When I came to receive the food, I really looked like a disaster victim.

However, there are also young and energetic people like Yin Qingbai, and they still talked to her energetically: "Little Zhiqing, which of these meals did you make?" ”

"This potato stew with kidney beans is made by Xiao Tao. I smell it very good, you hurry. ”

Without waiting for Tao Wan to boast, Liu Yan helped her sell melons.

"Then I want two bowls!" Yin Qingbai handed the bowl forward.

"Everyone has a spoonful, why do you have two bowls?" Liu Yan waved the big steel spoon in his hand, scooped a spoonful for Yin Qingbai and asked him to hurry up and eat: "Others are still in line!" ”

"I'll give my dad a beating."

Yin Qingbai smiled at his mother, and Liu Yan added another spoonful to him angrily.

Yin Qingbai walked home with a bowl, rested for half an hour at noon, and he could take a nap after eating quickly.

Today's task is urgent, Yin Guofu is also a strong laborer, but his age has come up, he sat in the yard to rest when Yin Qingbai took the bowl and left, Yin Qingbai came back to see that he hadn't moved the ground yet.

"Dad, I'll pinch two green onion leaves, let's dip them in the sauce and eat them."

"Okay," Yin Guofu stood up and went to the well to wash his hands, "What kind of food did your mother cook today?" Weird smelly. This is a big pot of rice, and the cooking skills are really good. Yin Hongfeng, what about that kid? ”

"Whatever, he's so old, and he doesn't know how to find food for himself when he's hungry."

Yin Qingbai picked up the rice on the table, as if offering a treasure: "This is not made by my mother, this is made by Xiao Zhiqing." ”

Yin Guofu looked at it and was willing to use oil, which was indeed Tao Wan's handiwork: "Your mother is too, Tao Wan's little arm can still let her be in charge of cooking." ”

If you are tired for a day, you have to eat some oil and water to replenish it.

These peanuts were harvested, and the village did not worry about oil, and Yin Guofu was not distressed at all.

Kidney beans are blanched with water at night, stewed more soft and rotten, the potatoes are first in the pot, fried with green onion noodle sauce, and then under the water kidney beans, so that the potatoes are particularly fragrant.

Yin Guofu and Yin Qingbai went crazy into their stomachs, Yin Hongfeng came back crazy from outside, and the rice at home was only filled with the aroma that filled the air.

"Dad, what are you going to eat at noon today?"

"I don't have food at home, go to your mother."

Yin Guofu held up a round belly, and he didn't feel guilty about his little son who couldn't eat at home.

As for Yin Qingbai, he didn't sleep anymore after eating.

How can it be important to sleep to help Tao brush the pot at night.
