Chapter 182: Temptation
Yun Xue sat on a stool and looked at everyone in the field with a smile. Everyone had a happy smile on their faces, and this joy was very contagious, so that the people around them couldn't help but laugh along.
"Sister Yunxue, let's go dancing together, you see, there are so many girls." Jiang Chengtao came to Yun Xue and looked at Yun Xue with a smile.
Jiang Chengtao went to take the college examination this autumn and was admitted to Xiucai, a fifteen-year-old Xiucai, in this small ravine, which caused quite a stir. However, at that time, the village was busy with the autumn harvest and dealing with the Gao Li people, so they couldn't celebrate properly.
"Me? Let's not go. "Yun Xue prefers to watch the excitement outside, and doesn't like to dance there with others.
"What? My sister's body is still not well? Didn't you listen to Yunting and say that it was all right? Jiang Chengtao thought that Yun Xue was unwell. When Yun Xue was sick, Jiang Chengtao happened to be in the field, and when he came back, he heard that Yun Xue was already well. Jiang Chengtao looked at Yun Xue carefully and felt that her complexion was okay.
"No, it's all right. I just look a little noisy, and I don't want to follow along. Yun Xue smiled.
"Let's go, it's rare that our village is so lively, you see how happy everyone is. Come, Sister Yunxue, let's dance together. Jiang Chengtao didn't care about that, stretched out his hand and dragged Yun Xue, and walked towards the crowd.
Yun Xue was dragged into the crowd by Jiang Chengtao. It is said that Yun Xue's strength is much stronger than this Jiang Chengtao, but she can't always shake off others, right? It's so lively today, and the big guys are very happy. Looking at these people in the field, Yun Xue couldn't help but jump up with them.
Everyone cheered and jumped around the bonfire, and from time to time someone opened their throats and sang a song, which was not necessarily very good, but everyone applauded and clapped. In this way, a group of young people jumped straight to the middle of the hour, and by this time everyone had no strength, and the bonfire was almost burning, only the red charcoal fire remained.
"Okay, I've been crazy enough today, pack up, and go home and sleep." Village Chief Zhao hurriedly shouted.
So, everyone stopped, and then each returned to his own family. Then each family took their belongings and went home.
Yun Xue and the others were the same, Yun Zhen and Tianfu and the others were carrying tables and chairs, Yun Xue and Yun Ni were holding the dishes, Yun Ting was carrying Xiao Yunxia, and everyone returned home together. Fortunately, Yunting and the others came back to burn the fire before, and it was still hot on the kang.
Yun Xue hurriedly put the dishes in her hand in the kitchen, and then went into the house with Yun Ni to spread the futon, and then took Xiao Yunxia from Yun Ting's hand. This little thing has a very regular schedule and has fallen asleep a long time ago. Yun Xue took off Yun Xia's clothes and covered her with a quilt. "Alright, let's all go to bed. On this day, you are all tired enough, sleep well at night, and you don't have to get up early tomorrow. ”
Yun Zhen nodded, and took his younger brothers to sleep in the Westinghouse.
This night, everyone slept peacefully, and it was a whole autumn, in fact, everyone was very tired. Not only physically, but also mentally, all kinds of exhaustion. Fortunately, the autumn harvest has ended, and Gao Li did not come to make trouble this night. The whole village was immersed in a beautiful dream.
The next day, everyone got up early as usual. Yun Xue took her younger siblings to fight a few times in the yard before everyone went back to the house and was busy cooking. When breakfast was ready, everyone ate quickly, and then Yun Ting and Yun Lei went to the school. And Yun Zhen and Tianfu entered the mountain. There are still a lot of good things in the mountains, so if you don't take advantage of this time to get some back, when it snows, there will be nowhere to find them.
Yunxue is going to pickle sauerkraut today, and if you pickle it earlier, you can eat it earlier. In winter, sauerkraut is the main force.
After breakfast, Yun Xue sent her little sister Yunxia to the Zhong family. To pickle sauerkraut at home, you must not boil water to scald vegetables. Yun Xue was afraid that she didn't pay attention to it, and it would be bad if she hurt Yun Xia, so it was safer to send it to Grandma Zhong.
The family has a large population and eats a lot, Yun Xue plans to pickle two large vts of sauerkraut first, if it is not enough to eat, it will be okay to pickle some at that time. The two sisters repaired the cabbage piled up in the garden, and then went to the kitchen, where they put the cabbage in the pot and boiled it. Then the cabbage was fished out and stacked into the vat one by one. This work requires a lot of strength, and you have to press the cabbage into a solid place, if it is not realized, the sauerkraut will be easy to float up and rot at that time.
When the vat was filled, Yun Xue went out to find a large stone slab and pressed it on top of the sauerkraut. There are many such stone slabs in the local area, and in the canyon north of the village, there are various forms of stones, among which there are naturally stone slabs. The big guys use this kind of slate to press the sauerkraut jar, so that the sauerkraut will not float up and will not rot easily.
After a whole noon, Yun Xue and Yun Ni were two, and finally the two large vats were filled, and all of them were pressed with stone slabs, and big stones were pressed on top of the stone slabs. The remaining hot water in the pot, Yun Xue also scooped it all into the two large tanks with a basin, and the hot water was sour.
Yun Xue beat her waist, this job is really tiring. "Okay, that's it for the time being, wait for a few days, this dish will fall down, and then it will be sealed with yellow mud." In the past few days, when stir-frying, cover the vat with a wooden basin to save the fumes from falling in. ”
"Hey, got it." Yunni promised, she understood all these things that she had to do in previous years.
It was not early, so the two sisters cleaned up the house and made lunch. Yun Ni went to pick up Xiao Yunxia back, and it happened that Yun Zhen and Yun Ting were also back, so everyone hurriedly washed their hands and ate.
"Sister, bring us some dry food tomorrow, and we won't be back at noon. Now all the people in the village have gone into the mountains, and almost everything is gone. It seems that we can only go a little farther, and maybe there will be some places that no one else has visited. Yun Zhen remembered it while eating, and quickly said.
This year, almost every household is short of food, and now there is not much food outside, so the big guy can only find a way to get something from the mountains to fill some of it. Acorns, usually in good years, are just kept to feed pigs. Now that there is not enough food to eat, pick up more and bring it back, and when the time comes, it will be mixed with food, and it will also be something that can withstand hunger. No matter how bad it is, you can feed pigs and chickens, right? Now that every family has some livestock, who is reluctant to kill pigs at this time? I had to find a way to feed it.
"It's okay, you can do it, it's really not good, we'll kill the pig after a while." Our family's food is actually enough, and this year we have planted so many sweet potatoes and potatoes, which can also be fed to pigs. It doesn't matter, don't be too tired, I'll pickle all the pickles and stuff these days, and then let's go up the mountain together. Yun Xue nodded and motioned for everyone to eat well.
I had just had lunch here, and before Yun Zhen and Tianfu could go out, two people came in outside, it was the old lady of the Sun family, who led her daughter-in-law over. "Yun Zhen, are you going out?" The old lady of the Sun family looked at Yun Zhen with a smile on her face.
"Grandma Sun, auntie, we're going up the mountain, sit in the grandmother's house." Yun Zhen nodded, and then shouted into the house, "Eldest sister, Grandma Sun and Aunt Sun are here." ”
Yun Xue was washing dishes in the kitchen, and when she heard that the Sun family was coming, she felt a little strange, and she didn't have any friendship with the Sun family on weekdays. What are they doing here? Yun Xue reached out and untied the apron outside, and then came out of the kitchen. "Yo, grandma grandma, auntie, you are rare guests, hurry, go up to the back room and sit." No matter what people are here for, they have to be entertained well, right?
When the group entered the house, Yun Xue let Grandma Sun sit on the kang, and Yun Xue sat on the kang herself. Yunni came in with two glasses of water and placed them in front of the two people.
"Look at our Yunni, but the longer it grows, the more agile it becomes, look at this little appearance, ten miles and eight towns, but no one can compare with it." Aunt Sun looked at Yunni with a smile and praised.
Yun Ni frowned, and then said, "Eldest sister, I'll go repair the cabbage first, and you can talk to Grandma Sun and her aunt in the house." After saying that, Yunni led Yunxia out.
"Look, this kid is embarrassed." Grandma Sun smiled.
Yun Xue felt strange, this grand-aunt had seen her sisters before, and when she spoke, there was a sour smell between the lines. What's going on today? It's like that. Even Grandma Sun smiled so attentively. I remember that this old lady seems to have a good relationship with the old lady of the Han family, which one of their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is making trouble?
Yunni is still young and thin-skinned, and when others talk about her, she can't erase it. Grandma Sun, you drink water, auntie, drink water. Although Yun Xue was a little curious about the intentions of these two people, she didn't ask directly, anyway, since they came, they would definitely say it.
Grandma Sun's eyes looked around the room and couldn't help but nod. The Han family's house is good, and the house is very clean. At a glance, you can see that the children of the Han family will all be able to live. "Yun Xue is really capable, look at the inside and outside of this house, the cleaning is bright and bright, which makes people feel comfortable when they see it." Grandma Sun praised.
"Grandma said and laughed, whose life is not like this? I'm sloppy. Yun Xue said modestly.
The daughter-in-law of the Sun family was a little breathless, and said, "Yunxue, we are here today, just to ask, did your Yunzhen say that he was a family affair?" Everyone knows that a few of you are still in filial piety, but when the child is older, you have to plan early. Now I am beginning to ponder, waiting for you to be filial, isn't it just right to do happy events? ”
