When it's hot, it's hardest for people to work in the fields.

As soon as I stood in the field, I was sweating profusely.

When I took off the clothes on my body and twisted them, the water suddenly flowed down.

In the evening, the river of the Qinghe production team was lively.

After the men got off work, they went here, jumped into the river to take a bath, soaked in the water and waited for the heat to dissipate, and then came out to get dressed and go home for dinner.

Like the Lin family, they all like to sit at the door of their homes after dinner.

The door is open, so when the wind blows, it can also get some coolness.

Mother Lin and the others held a puff fan in their hands and shook it, and when it was cool, they went to sleep in the house, and they could sleep.

Zhou Yunmeng felt deeply.

In these years, there is no air conditioning and no fan in the village, and everyone can live it, one is used to it for a long time, and the other is also related to this temperature.

At this time, the heat of summer is not as hot as it is in modern times, and the outdoor temperature can reach more than 40 degrees in the summer under global warming, not to mention the perceived temperature.

She would stay in an air-conditioned room almost every day, and walking out of an air-conditioned room was like walking into the desert, and she couldn't stand it at all.

It's hot now, but it's in the thirties.

Zhou Yunmeng doesn't have to work when she is idle, it is relatively cool to stay in the room, and Lin Mu also helped her change into thin sheets and bamboo mats on the bed, and she doesn't feel hot when she lies down and sleeps at night.

Occasionally, the dryness came up during the day, and she simply went into the supermarket.

The supermarket is electrified, it will be autumn when you wear a book, the air conditioning system will be turned off, and then it will automatically turn on again in summer, and the temperature of the whole supermarket will be kept at 26 degrees, which is the most comfortable for the human body.

Zhou Yunmeng couldn't help but sigh at the magic of the supermarket.

She enjoys the air-conditioning of the supermarket, and sometimes she takes pen and paper into the supermarket and writes on the table at the checkout counter.

This summer is not as difficult as I imagined, and I can go on.

She even occasionally felt good, and would follow Mother Lin and them to sit at the door blowing a cool breeze, and Xiao Shancha sat with her, shaking a pu fan to fan the two of them.

June.

When it came to the day when he went to the county seat to send the manuscript once every half a month, Zhou Yunmeng rode his bicycle to the post office to send the article first, and then went around to the unmanned alley as usual and took people into the supermarket to get things.

Three catties of pork, a Fushou fish, and a catty of Fuqiang powder, this is the amount that has been taken back to the Lin family for half a month.

The weather was hot and humid, and it was difficult to develop his appetite, so Zhou Yunmeng also ate lighter, did not have too much craving for meat, and preferred to eat vegetables grown in his yard.

Occasionally, if you want to eat something, you go to the supermarket and go to the fresh and cooked food section to add food.

The Lin family must be hungry when they work in the fields, they save some meat and fish to eat, and there are rich and strong flour made into white gnocchi, and they can eat a meal of oil star fine grain every two or three days in half a month, and they are also very satisfied.

Then it was given to the Zhou family, two catties of pork, a piece of Fushou fish, and a catty of Fuqiang powder.

Zhou Yunmeng unpacked three packs of 1kg of mung beans in the grain, oil, rice and flour area, and went to the seasoning area of the daily chemical area at home to remove two packs of 500g of white sugar and wrapped them in square paper.

Divide these into two parts and put them in a sack, ready to send one to Zhou's house, and take another back to Lin's house.

It was too hot in the afternoon because she didn't want to go out anymore, anyway, she came out, and it was still relatively cool in the morning, Zhou Yunmeng went out of the supermarket and rode a bicycle directly to Zhou's house.

arrived at the door of Zhou's house.

Zhou Yunmeng knocked on the door: "Mother." ”

Zhou's mother heard the sound and immediately opened the door, knowing that her daughter was afraid of heat recently, so she immediately pulled her into the room.

"Xiaomeng, you're back, go to the room, it's cooler than the hall."

Zhou Yunmeng followed her into the room and sat down, she took off the basket and took out the things for Zhou's mother.

"Mother, this time I took two catties of pork, a Fushou fish, and a catty of Fuqiang powder, this Fuqiang powder is what I gave you to eat, you just give me the money for the fish."

"Okay, okay, I know that Xiaomeng loves your mother, and every time you send me fine grain, my mother promises to cook it into gnocchi and eat it, I think my whole popularity is better these days."

Mother Zhou smiled when she heard her daughter's words, and immediately went to count the money for her daughter.

After so long, she understood that her daughter wanted to be nice to her and give her good food, and she could always say that she agreed.

After the summer, Xiaomeng basically helped bring some fish and meat back to his mother's side every half a month, which was definitely to give money.

The brother is still settling accounts, Xiaomeng is willing to use her way to help bring fish and meat to the family, and those individuals in the family should be grateful.

Who dares to have an opinion on the matter of giving money, if there is a kind, don't eat the fish and meat at home.

Of course, Zhou's mother understands it in her heart.

The three sons are now thinking about their little sister in their hearts, as long as they are idle, they will go to the mountains to pick up mushrooms, go down to the river to touch the fish, and send them to Xiaomeng's mother-in-law's house when they have a harvest.

The three daughters-in-law also have vision, and they know that their sister-in-law has the ability now, and they are hospitable every time they meet, and it seems that the relationship is good.

It's that every time Xiaomeng comes back, he pays for her to send her fine grains, what polished rice, rich and strong flour, and dried noodles, it costs a lot of money.

But Xiaomeng said that this was her intention to be a daughter, and she hoped that she, a mother, would be able to eat better.

Mother Zhou was proud in her heart, look at how good the daughter she raised was to her, and every sentence went straight to her heart.

Slowly, she accepted the fine food sent by Xiaomeng every time, and especially listened to her daughter's words and made a little food every day.

When she is old, she can still open a small stove for herself and eat fine grains, which is also something that Zhou's mother, who has worked hard for so many years in the past, never expected.

She also felt that she was in a lot of energy, her face looked good, and she had grown some meat.

When I go out for a walk in the village, I am much younger than those mothers-in-law who once said that she was stupid and loved her daughter so much.

The blessings of a girl are not for everyone.

Mother Zhou was happy when she thought of this, and said to her daughter a bunch of words, she couldn't even take care of those two catties of meat, one fish, and one pound of rich and strong powder, anyway, it would be fine for a while and a half.

Zhou Yunmeng chatted with Zhou's mother and listened to the happy old lady share her changes.

She looked at Zhou's mother seriously, and then nodded: "Mother, your face has indeed changed for the better, your eyes are bright, your lips are ruddy, and you look young." ”

Zhou Yunmeng was also happy, because this change was brought about by himself.

Mother Zhou touched her face: "That is, my life is better than when your father was here." ”

When she was happy, she was going to take the fish and meat and put it in the well water first, so as not to spoil it in the heat.

When I took it, I realized: "Why is there a sack down here?" ”

Zhou Yunmeng opened the sack, revealing the mung beans inside, and took out a paper bag to open it, and there were delicate white sugar inside.

"Isn't it hot lately, so I asked my classmates to help change mung beans and white sugar."

"There are three catties of mung beans and a catty of white sugar, all for your mother, go back and put mung beans and white sugar to cook mung bean soup, and it tastes sweet and can also cool off."

Zhou's mother just wanted to say what to do with this money, where can I use it to cool off after so many years, mung beans are difficult to buy, not to mention, this white sugar is so expensive.

I heard my daughter say: "I'm worried about whether you will suffer from heat stroke at home, so you can drink more mung bean soup to make me feel at ease." ”

Mother Zhou listened to her heart, softened her voice, and just wanted to say that there was no need for so many mung beans and white sugar.

The girl's next sentence was: "I took so many mung beans and white sugar, and I also counted my brother and sister-in-law's children's share." They work in the field and bask every day, and if they fall down from heat stroke, the most distressing person must be your mother. ”

"Mother, if you are uncomfortable, I will also feel uncomfortable, so in order to make me uncomfortable, mother, you can cook mung bean soup a few more times for everyone to drink together."

Zhou Yunmeng said this all sincerely.

Although Zhou's mother now cooks at home without going to work, the probability of heat stroke is not high, but what if.

It's always good to drink some mung bean soup to beat the heat.

And the three sons and daughters-in-law are all working in the fields, although Zhou's mother loves her daughter the most, she also cares about her son.

Whoever fell down from heat stroke, Zhou's mother was distressed.

She was reluctant to make Zhou's mother feel distressed, so since it was all cooked, let's drink mung bean soup together.

Chapter 29: Mung Bean Soup

Mother Zhou was so moved by her daughter's words that she couldn't do it, no one had ever thought about her so much in her life, and she thought about it all.

She knew that only the girl felt the most sorry for her as a mother.

She accepted the mung beans and white sugar, promising that she would definitely cook some mung bean soup from time to time.

After sending her daughter away, Zhou's mother went into the kitchen to make lunch, and started a new pot to cook mung bean soup.

When the mung beans boiled and boiled, she endured the pain of the flesh and scooped two spoonfuls of white sugar into it, stirred well, and the sweet smell seemed to have drifted from the pot to her nose.

After cooking, according to what the girl said, I covered the whole pot of mung bean soup and put it in the well to chill.

When her son and daughter-in-law came back at noon, she didn't say much, but only explained to her three sons: "You go home from work in the evening, don't go to the river to soak in water today." ”

Although the three brothers of the Zhou family were puzzled, their mother confessed, and they naturally responded.

In the evening, when the Zhou family came back from work, they saw that in addition to the food, there was an extra pot than usual on the dining table, and they didn't know what was inside with the lid.

I heard my mother say: "Today, your sister came back and bought two catties of pork and a Fushou fish for the family, and gave me another catty of Fuqiang noodles." ”

The three brothers of the Zhou family were moved once when they heard it, and the little sister often used her own way to help buy fish and meat, so that they could add some oil stars from time to time.

I have oil in my stomach, and I can boil it when I go to work.

Also, if you want to say who is the best for your mother in the family, it naturally has to be the little sister, and every time she sends fine grain to her mother, just to make her eat better.

It's their inability to be sons, it makes sense for my mother to love my little sister so much, and my little sister is worth it.

The third sister-in-law of the Zhou family was thinking, but she didn't expect her sister-in-law to come back today to help buy fish and meat.

When they went to work for a while, their mother-in-law was cooking at home, and when they came back from work at noon, they were so tired that they went into the house to sleep and never entered the kitchen.

So I really didn't find out.

They silently counted the days in their hearts, and it was indeed half a month.

This sister-in-law is a good one, very reliable, thanks to her own family can eat fish and meat from time to time, not to mention the children in the family, even with their own work is energetic.

Looking at the reaction of her son and daughter-in-law, Zhou's mother was satisfied.

She opened the lid of the pot on the dining table and said: "Xiaomeng said that you have to drink mung bean soup to cool off on such a hot day, and I am worried that you brothers and sisters-in-law are afraid of heat stroke when they go to work, so I specially found someone to buy mung beans and white sugar, and asked me to cook them for you to drink." ”

"I cooked this pot of mung bean soup at noon, put it in the well water and chilled it all afternoon, I just brought it out before you came back, let's drink it in a bowl per person."
