Chapter 31: Autumn Harvest
Over there, Song Jingzhi went to work for Tang Xiaoxiao, and many villagers greeted him with a smile when they saw him.
After all, Song Jingzhi is Yuhu Village, the only officer of his generation.
After breakfast, Tang Xiaoxiao rode his bicycle to the city.
As usual, she went to the black market first, sold some goods, and then took some meat out and rode back.
When the farm is busy, it is basically the family that cannot work, or the women go back early to cook and send to the fields.
Everyone ate in the field, rested for a while, and went straight to work.
Tang Xiaoxiao took some meat and bones from the space, and took a few apples.
When she returned to Song's house, it was already past ten o'clock, and she immediately started cooking.
One pot began to stew the sauce and bones, and the other pot began to stew rice, because of the high physical exertion of work, she stewed pure white rice without adding sweet potatoes.
In addition, I am going to make a stir-fried pork with chili peppers and a sour and hot shredded potato, which are more appetizing.
I cut the apples into pieces and put them in the lunch box, and I was tired from work, so I had to eat better.
After finishing these, she soaked some mung beans and prepared to come back later to make mung bean soup.
She put all the food in the basket, a large pot of sauce and bones, and put four pairs of bowls and chopsticks.
He took another pot of water, took a straw hat, and went out into the field.
At this time, many families began to gather around to eat.
One of Song Jing's families works in a place, so she found a shade and put the food away before going to the field to call someone.
Standing on the edge of the field, Song Jingzhi and they have already done a lot, and they are far away from the edge of the field.
"Ahem." Tang Xiaoxiao cleared her throat, "Uncle, aunt, it's time to eat." ”
However, her voice was too quiet, and they turned their backs to her, so they didn't hear it at all.
"Oh, Xiaoxiao, they can't hear the sound of your kitten meowing." Bu Yulan also came over with a bamboo basket to deliver food.
She is now pregnant and helps cook at home during the autumn harvest.
"That's all I say." She tried again.
"I don't know why you quarreled with Chen Fengya, I'll come." Bu Yulan cleared her throat.
"Second uncle, second aunt, Jingzhi, Xiaoxiao has brought you food."
As soon as Bu Yulan's voice came out, it almost scared Tang Xiaoxiao's soul away, and sure enough, the three people who were cutting the rice over there turned around at the same time.
"Alright, I'm leaving." Bu Yulan raised her eyebrows and walked away with the basket.
Tang Xiaoxiao nodded mumu, and said that the Hunan girl was a hot girl, and she seemed to have seen it.
The three members of the Song family over there saw her coming, put down their tools, grabbed the kettle and hurried over.
Song Jingzhi walked up to her, smiled at her and said, "Hard work, little girl." ”
Seeing that he was covered in sweat, she took out the handkerchief in her pocket and wiped it for him.
"You've worked hard too, I made the sauce big bones you like to eat."
Song's father and Song's mother saw the interaction between the two and laughed with satisfaction, and they were happy when the little couple had a good relationship.
The four of them came to the bottom of the tree and gathered together to prepare for dinner.
"Who's going to eat meat?"
As soon as the lid was opened, the fragrance wafted out, and everyone nearby smelled it.
"Yo, it's defending the country, this is your daughter-in-law's doing, right?"
Sitting in the shade of the tree next to him is the Cao Laohan family, who have a good relationship with the Song family.
"Yes, our family Xiaoxiao saw that we were working hard, and said that he would make up for us, and he went to the city to buy meat early in the morning." Father Song said with a smile.
In this era, even if you envy other families for eating meat, you won't come forward to rub it.
"Our family's meat stamp, thanks to the money that Jing Zhi saved in the army before, and the mail given by our in-laws."
Father Song mentioned in passing, his family in the province often eats meat, and others thought that Tang Xiaoxiao had gone to the black market.
"Do you want to take a few big bones to Uncle's house?" Tang Xiaoxiao asked Song's mother in a low voice.
She and Song Jingzhi are going to the army, and Song's father and mother usually have to rely on their family to take care of them.
"Go, there are so many, just one of them in the field, let Jingzhi send it over, such a big sun, don't bask you." Mother Song took the lid and filled it with a few big bones and asked Song Jingzhi to send it over.
Song Jing's feet were fast, and he came back soon.
"After a while, Xiaoxiao will go home and sleep, and don't come over in the afternoon if it's hot." The village would send someone to deliver water, and Song's mother didn't want her daughter-in-law to run against the sun again.
"Oh." Tang Xiaoxiao just answered.
After eating, the men smoke together, the women gather around to chat, and after a while, they will go to work again.
Song Jingzhi took the basket she had packed, left the kettle she brought, and took the empty kettle they brought in the morning to send her back.
"Tired or not?" Both spoke at the same time.
"What do I have to be tired of, is to buy meat to cook, but you."
"That's hard too." His daughter-in-law shouldn't have washed and cooked for him all her life, she should have been held in the palm of her hand.
The sun in October in Hunan Province is the most poisonous, and even if she wears a straw hat, her little face is red.
He dragged her into the room and wet her with well water to give her a cold compress.
"Go to work, I'm fine." She reached out to take the towel from his hand.
"Mine is almost done, help Daddy in the afternoon, we should be back soon."
Song Jingzhi couldn't refuse to take her hand away, "You can rest in my bed in the afternoon, remember to close the door, I will call the door when I come back." ”
"Then I won't sleep in your bed." She muttered, how could anyone sleep in a man's bed before they got married.
They had this custom, but she couldn't.
"Then you sleep on the bed in the room, and the sheets and quilts are all changed by your mother." It was originally worried that Tang Xiaoxiao would clean up again during this nap.
"Hmm."
Song Jingzhi took away the towel, and her cheeks were already much better.
"I'm going to work." He looked at her reluctantly.
"Okay." She complied, but lowered her head and took his hand.
"Huh." Looking at her reluctant little expression, Song Jingzhi's mood was exceptionally good.
"I really have to go." At this time, the people in the field are probably already working.
"Hmm." She let go of his hand.
Song Jingzhi lowered his head and kissed her on the cheek before leaving.
After he left, Tang Xiaoxiao went to the kitchen to prepare mung bean soup.
Because she planned to send some to the village chief's house, she boiled a big pot.
The mung bean soup was not sent immediately after it was boiled, but was intended to be placed in the well water and sent to it only after it was cold.
Taking advantage of the time when the mung bean soup was cooling, she took out some ribs from the space and blanched them for later use.
Later, she disliked that the well water was too slow, and remembered that there was a refrigerator in the space, so she put the mung bean soup in the refrigerator again.
I took two thermos flasks from the space and sent them over after the mung bean paste was completely cold.
Carrying two thermos flasks and taking more than a dozen bowls, Tang Xiaoxiao walked to the field.
When he arrived, Song Wei was delivering water to everyone, which happened to be sent to Song Jingzhi's side.
"Song Jingzhi." She shouted.
"Why are you here? Didn't you say I wouldn't let you come? He hurried up to her and took what she was holding.
