"The wasteland has been rehabilitated. It's just that the seeds of miscellaneous grains and melon seeds have just been planted, and it's not yet time to harvest. The hilltop has hired people to cultivate it. It coincides with the busy farming these days, so I took a vacation. After a few days They come again."

"Yes. My mother and uncles will take care of it for me, my daughter can rest assured."

Her mother, two uncles, and grandparents are all old farmers for many years, so she doesn't need to worry too much about these fields.

Qiao Mingjin asked her mother a few more questions, and then she put it aside.

Early in the morning, before the sun rose, the whole family got up early to prepare to harvest rice in the fields.The millet should be shed before the sun comes out, so that it can be dried in the sun, and it can be harvested in the warehouse before the rainy season comes.

Before going out, Qiao Mingjin hitched his horse to the wheelbarrow at home and pulled it.

A few days ago, Yun Jin and Ming Qi had pulled Qiao Mingjin's cow back, and today they added the horse-drawn cart, with the horse and the cow, they could speed up the situation anyway.

Qiao Mingjin is much more proficient today than yesterday, and she is doing well and at a much faster speed.

Wan'er also found a partner at the dry valley field.A few children got together, each holding a branch in his hand, with a few leaves on the tip of the branch, swaying around, seeing the greedy chickens and ducks approaching from a distance, shaking the leaves The rattling branches waved majesticly, which could scare the chicken and duck away.

The little girl never tires of it.Running back and forth with chickens and ducks.

A few naughty children also took some sweet potatoes and corn from home to dig a hole by the side of the grain drying field, gathered firewood or roasted or simmered.Several kids got together.Qi Qi blew violently towards the bottom of the pit with her buttocks pouted, causing the fire to burst into flames. Some children couldn't escape, and a lot of hair on their foreheads was burned.

The children were still very happy, you pointed at me, I pointed at you and laughed.

Qiao Mingjin took a few glances and saw that her daughter was having fun with her new friends, and some of them were cousins ​​from the Yun family, so she was relieved to let her play there.

lunch.It was Lan who mentioned Tiantou.

Although the field was not far from Qiao's house, everyone didn't go back in order to save time.Every time I come and go, plus I dawdle at home for a while, I can cut half an acre of rice in the field.

When other families in the village were grabbing the autumn harvest, they also ate in the fields at noon.

Mrs. Lan greeted Qiao's mother and Ming Yu who were harvesting rice in the field.They also called Father Qiao, who was thrashing rice, and others, and the family found a shady place on the side of the flat rice drying field to sit down and eat.

Qiao Mingjin took a few children down to the field, found a clean puddle to wash his hands and feet, and then went up the slope.

After being busy for a long time, everyone is also tired and hungry.Many families also found a shaded place to sit and eat on the ground in the grain drying field.As soon as that butt is touching the turf, why would you want to get up?

You don’t get sick if you eat uncleanly, don’t you?

Most people only wiped two handfuls on the hem of their clothes.Just picked up the chopsticks and started eating.You don't need to grab and eat with your hands, and there are chopsticks.Tired and hungry.If you smell the aroma of rice, you can't dry your hands clean.

Lan's cooking skills are very good.

In Qiao's house, it is usually the Lan family who manages the kitchen.In Qiao Mingjin's memory, even if there is no oily smell in the house, this grandmother can make ordinary green vegetables delicious.And the presentation of the plate is also very particular, not only delicious but also beautiful.

If Qiao's mother went to get it, and there was no oil, the vegetables would be placed on the plate as if they were boiled in water.What it looks like with a spatula is what it looks like on the plate.Lumpy.crowded together.The color is not good.

Every time Mother Qiao looked at Father Qiao and frowned at the dishes, she didn't dare to muster up the courage to go into the kitchen again.

Later, when Qiao Mingjin and the others grew up, Lan taught Qiao Mingjin the kitchen skills.

Qiao Mingjin can also make things that are boiled with no oil but water very delicious, and the dishes are arranged like flowers.Later, Qiao Mingjin got married, and it was Mingyu's turn to cook at home.It's just that the farming has been busy these few days, and Lan's has taken over again.

Now the family is doing better than before, with the money from Qiao Mingjin and Shu Xiu from Mingheng, in order to make up for Qiao's father's exhausted body when he was young, there is often a smell of oil at home.In addition to the busy season this time, Lan's will buy a knife of pork belly and stew big meat for everyone to eat every day.

After the family sat down, Lan lifted the lid of the lunch box, and a smell of meat wafted out.

Even Yunjin, who was sitting nearby, came over with a bowl.

"Grandma Lan, what delicious food are you cooking?"

Ming Heng gave him a sideways look: "Cousin, you have a dog's nose?" But he didn't chase him away.

Uncle Yun, who was sitting a few meters away, laughed and said loudly: "Mingheng, your cousin came to your house with a bowl to beg for food again. Don't treat delicious food like that since childhood. Give it to him, or he won't be able to find the house at night."

Yun Jin was squatting down to look into the basket. Hearing this, she turned her body back and shouted to Uncle Yun, "Father, are you still my real father? Could it be that you picked me up from the straw pile?" ?”

Several families in the grain drying field burst out laughing when they heard this.

A man said: "The only one who cooks well in our village is Qiao's grandma. The smell of meat can be smelled from far away, and the vegetables in my bowl are no different from grass roots. "

Father Qiao's popularity in the village is very good, and he said cheerfully after hearing this, "Third Brother Yun, if you don't mind, come and use it together."

"No, no, I'll come to your house for a serious meal some other day when I'm free."

"That's it."

Father Qiao readily agreed.Several families nearby also said that they would go to Qiao's house for a meal, and Qiao's father also cheerfully invited them.

The family shared the delicious food, and Yunjin grabbed a piece of braised pork and couldn't wait to stuff it into his mouth. His mouth was full of oil, and he praised it repeatedly.Attracted his son Xiao Yunluan.

He ran over with a small bowl in his hands.He didn't even answer how his mother called him in the back.

Wan'er also generously put the pieces of meat from her own bowl into this little cousin's bowl.The two little things had roasted sweet potatoes together in the morning, and they would eat the same dish together again, and soon established a deep revolutionary friendship.

The eldest aunt Xie saw the appearance of the father and son.Yuanyuan said: "This kid Yunjin has been in love with his aunt's Cengfan since he was a child, and even when he grows up, he will become a father. If he doesn't change his habit, he will teach my grandson badly."

Although Yun's grandfather, Lao Yuntou, lives in Xiaoer's house with his old wife because of the young children, the two sons' homes are separated by a wall, and they are usually no different from those who have no separation.Now the two families work together during the busy farming season.

Old Yuntou was sitting with his sons and grandchildren for dinner, and he also shouted to the Qiao family from afar: "Mother Jin, you have to stay for a few more days this time. When your uncle is done with his work here, the two families will meet again." Have a meal somewhere."

"Hey. Okay." Qiao Mingjin also responded loudly...

It was a lovely lunch.

Blue sky and white clouds, gentle breeze, and shade of green grass, a dozen or so families gathered in the woods around the dry valley field to eat together.While eating and chatting for a while, the children ran around with their bowls.This one eats a piece of meat, that one eats a chopstick dish, it is very lively.

After eating, some families with a lot of fields didn't take much rest, put down their bowls and went to the ground again.The Qiao family and the Yun family sat together and chatted together.

But we didn't talk for long.When she was about to go to work in the field, she saw Xiao Wan'er yelling: "Daddy!" and ran back.

Everyone turned their heads to look.Then he saw Yue Zhongyao, a servant of the world walking over from a distance.

Qiao Mingjin saw him bend over to pick up his daughter, smiled and touched his forehead with his daughter, and strode towards the crowd with his daughter in one hand.

Why is he here?

"Grandmother, father-in-law, mother-in-law, grandfather, grandmother, uncle, uncle..."

Father Qiao looked at this son-in-law with complicated emotions.

At the beginning, I just watched him save me from danger, and then went to the hospital behind my back to ask for doctor's advice, and I thought this young man was a good character.It also looks progressive.Marrying his most cherished eldest daughter to him is also very reassuring.but now.To let my daughter fall into such a difficult situation...

Lan gave Yue Zhongyao a hard look, and went back with an empty plate and bowl.Even Yue Zhongyao ignored her when he called her from behind.

Seeing him standing there awkwardly, Mother Qiao got up and said, "Zhongyao, why are you here? The Yamen asked you to ask for leave?"

Yue Zhongyao hurriedly turned back to Qiao's mother and said, "Back to mother-in-law, the county magistrate is considerate, and he will also give a few days off for those who do a lot of work in the field at home, so that they can go back later. I went back to Xiahe Village in the morning and saw that there were many people at home. I was busy with work, and saw that Jinniang and Wan'er were not at home. I learned from Sister Xiu that they were here, so I came here. Mother-in-law sees if there is any work to do, just tell me to do it. "

After speaking, seeing Ming Jue and Ming Heng were also there, he said, "You two are back too? With my brother-in-law here, it's more important to study."

Mingheng snorted and was about to speak, but was glared at by Father Qiao, then sat back rubbing his nose and didn't dare to speak again.

Ming Jue looked at Yue Zhongyao and said, "I've been studying all the time, and it happens to be loose."

Yue Zhongyao nodded and said: "That's right, I heard your sister said about combining work and rest. But don't get too tired."

Turning around, he went to greet everyone in the Yun family, and said that he would help them when he was done with work.It made Yun's grandma praise him again and again.

Seeing the family of three together now, the old man felt very happy.

They didn't say much, just chatted a few words, and then went to the field one after another.

Yue Zhongyao also took Ming Qi's sickle, took off his shoes, rolled up his pants and prepared to go to the fields.

After walking a few steps, he took out a purse from his pocket and handed it to Qiao Mingjin: "Niang Jin, keep it for me, I'm afraid it will fall into the field in a while."

Qiao Mingjin hadn't opened his mouth to speak since he came. Seeing him handing over the purse, everyone was watching again, so he took the purse over.

Yue Zhongyao raised the corners of his mouth and laughed.

Said to Qiao Mingjin: "Jin Niang, I'll go down then. Don't get tired of any work that will happen later, just wait for me to come up and do it if you can't do it."

Then he said to his daughter who was following behind his buttocks: "Wan'er, you are playing on the slope, you need to help with some work."

The little thing nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yeah. Dad, I helped look at the millet in the morning, and even chased the chicken to eat!"

"Okay. Wan'er is so good. You stay on the slope with your mother, and my father is going down to help your grandma..."

Qiao Mingjin watched the father and daughter finish talking affectionately, and then watched Yue Zhongyao go down to the field swiftly, bending over to cut the rice swiftly.

The movements were very skillful and quick, leaving Ming Yu and Qiao's mother far behind in a short while.

Qiao Mingjin stood on the slope and watched, not knowing what she was thinking... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
