dream village

Chapter 169

Xue'er said, "Okay, but if you eat the way you did just now, you don't need to teach it."

"Hey, I eat like that so I don't waste it. Actually, there are many ways to eat rice field eels. I'll teach you the easiest way to learn and the cleanest way to eat." The fat man said seriously.

Xue'er didn't know that the fat man had ulterior motives, "Then teach me."

"Success, this fat man promises that he will teach and meet, and he will not teach again for free until he has learned it." The fat man said with a smile.As he spoke, he stretched his chopsticks into Xueer's bowl, but when he was about to succeed, Xueer's bowl was taken away by one hand.The fat man was stunned, who is it?Who is this bad buddy's good thing?He looked up, only to see Zhang Tao smiling at him and said, "Fatty, you're thinking about eating more and occupying more, can't you teach others by eating what's in your bowl?"

When Xue'er heard this, she immediately understood that the fat man didn't know how to eat at all, but instead tricked her into coming with rice field eels under the guise of teaching.

The fat man glared at Zhang Tao angrily and said, "Being a master doesn't charge a gift, so who would do it? You can be the master!"

After the noisy meal, as soon as everyone's hunger problem was solved, the fatigue and tiredness also surged up.Everyone didn't bother to say a word, yawned all over the sky, and even their sitting bodies were staggering.

At this time, the sun is the strongest, and it is impossible to work in the fields.Zhang Tao hurriedly put down the bowl and arranged for them to rest.Martin, Cher and Nana were arranged to rest on two beds in the old house.Ma Liang and Wu Bang gave them two bamboo couches.Mengzi and the others didn't need to make any arrangements, they just dragged a mat from the house and ran to lie down and snore under the ancient pagoda tree in front of Heping.

They rested, but Zhang Tao's family had to be busy.Renlong took Mengxue directly to the field to work.Mengfang does dishwashing chores at home.Zhang Tao accompanied his mother to clean up the hair on the Heping.

It is also easy to dry the millet if it is cleaned up early.Only when the millet is dried and harvested in the warehouse will farmers feel at ease.Otherwise, if the weather suddenly changes, there will be heavy rain for several days in a row, there will be no sun, and the millet will be wet, it is very likely that the millet will germinate.In this case, the farmer uncle may want to cry but has no tears.So why is this season called double grab?That is to compete with the weather and time for every step of the way.

The family has surplus food, so don't panic.After the millet is harvested, the farmers' hard work in the past six months will be officially rewarded, and the half-year rations will basically be settled.Although the double grabbing season is the hardest day of the year in the countryside, all the people in the village, especially the heads of households, are all smiling, as if they picked up a gold ingot by accident.For them, this millet is equivalent to the wages in the hands of salaried workers, the wealth received by the boss, and the promotion of official positions. Although it is insignificant, it is almost all their hopes and joys, and it is equivalent to the value of gold ingots.

Grass wool is rice ear stems and grass leaves.First use a broom made of bamboo branches to sweep the grass hairs into a pile. The sweeping action here also has certain skills.Then knead them into small piles, rub them with your feet or beat them with a wooden stick for a while, to get rid of the sticky grains on the stems of the ears of rice, and then use a sieve to sift out the mixed grains. If there is still a little millet mixed in the wool wool, let it be ignored, throw the wool wool aside, and those clucking chickens promise that a grain of grain will not be wasted.After the wool is beaten, turn the millet over with a comb so that they can enjoy the sun evenly.

Zhang Tao and his mother were talking in a low voice while cleaning the hair. "Tugu, what's the matter between you and these two girls?" Chunhua asked with concern.

"What's the matter? It's the third time I've met them." Zhang Tao replied indifferently.

"These two girls are pretty good, and they seem to be very interesting to you." Having said that, Chunhua sighed and said, "It's a pity! They both eat the national food, and their family conditions are so good. Where can we get high?"

"Mom, why don't you just talk about your own ambitions? What's the matter with farmers! I still want to be an upright and extraordinary farmer. At that time, I will bring back home one by one the girls from the city who eat the national grain. , let you choose a satisfactory daughter-in-law." Zhang Tao said in awe.

"Okay! Don't brag, I know you are very capable. Why is your luck so bad?" After talking about it, Chunhua's tone was filled with loss and sadness.

"Mom, don't worry about me, everything will be fine, you have to believe in your son's ability." Zhang Tao said in relief to his mother.

"That's good. I'm looking forward to the day when you will be successful, and your father and I can enjoy the happiness with you. These years, your family has also been poor because of your studies. There is not even a TV fan at home. In Chongli, our family has already It’s a laggard.”

Chunhua then nagged a lot about family and village matters, but Zhang Tao didn't answer the conversation, just being a loyal listener.He looked at his mother's back, which was obviously bowed by the burden of life, and he couldn't help feeling mixed feelings. His mother had paid too much for this family and her children, and it was time for him to do his best for the family.

"Tugu, Li E has found a good match, you know?" After a while, Chunhua hesitated to talk about another matter.

Zhang Tao said "oh" and didn't answer, his eyebrows trembled for no reason, as if something fell into his bowed figure.

"I heard that I'm still from the city and my family is very rich. I spent nearly 2 yuan just in person. But..."

"But what?" A melancholy floated over Zhang Tao's head like a dark cloud.

"Li E's family approves of this marriage very much, but she herself does not agree. She secretly came to our house several times, and left crying every time." Having said this, Chunhua wiped her eyes, sighed and said: "E The girl is really a good girl! It's a pity that you are destined not to be together..."

"Didn't her brother Man Guang come to make trouble later?" Zhang Tao seemed to be swaying from the sun, and he grabbed the comb and asked in a low voice.

"I didn't come again after those two times. However, he asked someone to bring a message, and you are not allowed to have any more contact with Emeizi." Chunhua straightened her waist and sighed, "Man Guang is actually quite reasonable. People. Pretending to be true to one's heart, whoever has this incident, will be full of anger in their hearts."

After a pause, she said with some annoyance: "It's all because of your drunken dad, who tried to marry his son and daughter, and ended up in such trouble. Now the in-law has not been done, and he has become an enemy."

Chunhua stopped what she was doing, looked at Zhang Tao, and warned, "Tugu, after this lesson, you must be careful when it comes to sex. Our poor family can't stand the torture!"
