Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 34

"Dad, don't worry, I washed my hair outside, and it's uncomfortable, now it's refreshing!"

Yang Ruoqing giggled, and in order to reassure her father, she even lifted a few strands of bangs on her forehead and winked playfully.

Both Yang Huazhong and Mrs. Sun were slightly taken aback by their daughter's actions, and then they both laughed happily.

Caiyi entertained her relatives, and when she saw her parents' gloomy faces, a smile finally appeared on their faces. Yang Ruoqing also felt that Bei'er had a sense of accomplishment!

"Dad Qinger, you lie down for a break, and I'll cook! Qinger, you've been running around for a long time, and you're exhausted. Go back to the house to take a break, and my mother will call you when the meal is done!" Mrs Sun stood up straight. Come, explain the sentence, turn around and hurriedly walk out.

"Dad, I'm going to help my mother, you can rest well." Yang Ruoqing said to Yang Huazhong, and after receiving Yang Huazhong's nod, she jumped and followed to the kitchen.

In the kitchen room, a soybean oil lamp was lit on the stovetop, and in the corner of the wall, in the temporary small stove that Uncle Chang Geng and the others built, Mr. Sun stuffed the firewood into it, just lit it, and the fire came out.

The Sun family was not idle at home in the afternoon, and scooped out about ten catties of the fifty catties of rice that the old Yang family had distributed when the family split.I went to Chang Geng's house, borrowed their stone mortar, pounded more than seven catties of white rice, and brought the rest of the rice husks back and piled them up at the stove.

When Yang Ruoqing came in, she was squatting there to wash the rice, and then the light of the small stove picked out the layer of rice husks floating on the water, and then rubbed the rice three or two times before adding water and covering the lid. It was placed on a small stove, and a handful of pine hair was added to the bottom to make the fire more vigorous.

"Qing'er, why did you come to the kitchen again?" Mrs. Sun turned around to clean up the basket that Yang Ruoqing brought back, and saw that Yang Ruoqing had already brought the basket over.

"I'm not tired, come and watch my mother cook." Yang Ruoqing said with a smile.

"Hey, what's so good about this? I grabbed a handful of freshly pounded rice, and let's cook some porridge at night. Your aunty Osmanthus brought eggs and dried chili over here last night, and I'll make another later when the porridge is ready. Dried spicy scrambled eggs for you two to make porridge!" Sun said.

Thinking of the spicy dry pepper, Yang Ruoqing's saliva couldn't help but slip down!

Yang Ruoqing immediately shook her head: "Mother, don't scramble eggs at night, didn't we agree to keep the eggs for my father to boil? Besides, my father's wound is not suitable for eating too spicy, it's exciting!"

Sun shi suddenly said, "Then what should I do? I didn't add any ingredients to the white porridge, so why should I swallow it?"

Yang Ruoqing blinked and pushed the basket in front of Sun's: "When the porridge roars, let's put this wild vegetable in. I dug a lot of wild vegetables in the next day, enough for us to eat for two days!"

Sun took the bamboo basket from Yang Ruoqing's hand, found another sieve and spread it on the ground, and slammed the basket upside down.

"My darling, shepherd's purse, mother-in-law, okra... oops, so fresh pine mushrooms!" Sun shi looked the same, with an expression of excitement and surprise on his face, especially the pine mushrooms, plump and tender , with a muddy smell.

Suddenly thinking of something, Mrs Sun raised her eyes and stared at Yang Ruoqing nervously: "Qing'er, are you... going to the forest behind?"

Yang Ruoqing nodded and said with a smile: "Don't talk about wild vegetables on the ridge, the wild grass is about to be plucked up, I will try my luck in the woods behind the village, hey, luck is really good!"

"Hey, you child!" Mrs Sun didn't know what to say, and she was afraid: "You can't go again tomorrow!"

"Why mother?"

"That forest is not clean! All the people in our village have to go in together. Even our adults would not dare!" Sun said.

"What's so unclean? It's just that the forest is big, and it's easy to get lost when it rains." Yang Ruoqing said a little puzzled: "Besides, there are a lot of wild vegetables in there. There are a lot of fresh matsutake mushrooms!"

"Good girl, you don't need to ask so much, just listen to your mother's words. Don't go into the woods in the future, your mother won't hurt you!"

Deep in the forest, there is an earthen kiln. I heard that more than ten years ago, clay bricks were still fired in the earthen kiln. Later, I don't know what happened. People are buried alive in it.

After that, no one dared to go to the earthen kiln. I heard that it is still haunted!

Further back, a child of someone in the village died, and they were all wrapped in straw curtains and thrown to the earth kiln.The woods are connected to the Mianniu Mountain behind. The beasts in the mountain are so hungry that they go to the earth kiln for food. As time goes by, no one dares to pass through that forest.

Even the middle-aged people in the village have to be in groups of three or five in the clear sky and daytime to dare to go in and gather loose fur or something. Even so, they don't dare to go inside!

A few days ago, my daughter was so sick that her mother-in-law said that if she couldn't stand it, she wrapped her daughter in a straw curtain as soon as possible and sent it to the earth kiln from the back door...

These things, Sun decided not to tell her daughter no matter what.

Yang Ruoqing saw that the Sun family was like this, and she knew that no matter how much she asked, she would not be able to find anything, and she would not force it.He also squatted down and, together with Mr. Sun, picked up wild vegetables by the light from the small stove.

She has washed these dishes in the stream water, and only needs to be drenched with water to chop them up and put them in the pot, so it takes no effort at all to make them.

The mother and daughter were picking up these wild vegetables and matsutake mushrooms, while they bowed their heads and whispered together.

The shepherd's purse was a bit old and tasted a little bitter, so Mr. Sun washed the shepherd's purse with water, rubbed off the bitter water inside, chopped it up, and spread it out evenly on a sieve to air dry.Air-dried shepherd's purse foam, making dumplings, making shepherd's purse cakes, or eating them directly with chili sauce, are all very delicious side dishes!

The fresh mother-in-law was washed and chopped, then washed two matsutake mushrooms, cut them into thin slices, and put them into a small boiling pot together. Mr. Sun put a little salt star in it, and gently stirred it with a spatula. , and then close the lid.

Yang Ruoqing was tinkering with the shepherd's purse, and said to Mrs Sun, "Mother, this shepherd's purse is almost foamy. I'll go back to the house and get the chili sauce from Aunt Dayun and mix it with the shepherd's purse!"

"Okay, let's go!"

After a while, Yang Ruoqing came back, holding a small sauce-colored jar in her hand, but her face was a little ugly.

"Daughter, what's the matter with you?" Mrs Sun came over and asked.

"Mother, look at this jar!" Yang Ruoqing handed the jar to Sun.

Before Mr. Sun took it over, she saw the mouth of the jar and the body of the jar at a glance, with a circle of hot sauce remaining. She took the jar and weighed it: "Oh, why is it so light?"
