Rebirth Era's Petite Wife

Chapter 75 074 Laba is here
Hu Xiangyu persisted until the day of Laba, and her heart became more and more heavy. The New Year's goods are nothing, anyway, there are still about [-] days before the Chinese New Year. What is anxious now is how to spend Laba. She has not yet found the ingredients for making wheat kernel rice!

Hu Xiangyu and her aunt are not from the locals, but from the neighboring province H. The customs there are different from the locals. On Laba day, instead of cooking Laba porridge, they cook wheat kernel rice.

Mix freshly ground wheat kernels with beef and mutton, add seasonings such as green salt, ginger peel, Chinese prickly ash, grass fruit, seedling fragrance, etc., simmer over low heat overnight, and open the pot the next morning. The wheat and meat in the pot became curly, with a tangy aroma that melted in the mouth.

Of course, every household is living in a difficult situation now, and naturally they are not so particular about cooking wheat kernel rice, but no matter how poor the life is, they still have to cook wheat kernel rice.

Although the Zhu family are locals, because of Aunt Hu's dominance in the Zhu family, the Zhu family's Laba Festival has been eating wheat kernel rice these years, and Laba porridge has not been made for decades.

In the past, Mrs. Hu dealt with the wheat kernel rice of the Zhu family indiscriminately. Since Hu Xiangyu came to join the Zhu family, the Zhu family can eat delicious wheat kernel rice every year in Laba. Over time, the Laba wheat kernel of the Zhu family Let Hu Xiangyu wrap up the rice.

Hu Xiangyu wanted to show off his ability on the one hand, and on the other hand, he wanted to find a backer for the two of them. Although the backing of the Zhu family was a bit crooked, it was better than nothing. default rules.

When Ma Xixi was comfortably served by Hu Xiangyu on the kang earlier, he promised to bring her meat and wheat kernels, and keep the delicious wheat kernel rice for the two of them.

But it has been several days, and Ma Xixi, a bear ball, has not even shown up, and he has not even smelled wheat kernels and meat.

Hu Xiangyu couldn't stay here any longer. The Laba farm was resting this day, and every household was preparing for the Laba Festival, but she couldn't start work. Thinking of her aunt who came over to ask her to put more meat in the meal yesterday, Hu Xiangyu gritted her teeth , took off the red scarf from the wall and wrapped it up carefully, took out a palm-sized mirror to look at it, and brushed back his messy hair, only then did he feel satisfied.

"Xiaocao, you stay at home and you are not allowed to go anywhere, do you understand?"

Hu Xiangyu asked her daughter on the kang, her tone was different from the usual gentleness, a little heavy, the last time Hu Xiaocao came back crying with a wound, after she knew the whole story, she was so angry that she beat her daughter up, and she also felt Bad feeling.

Sure enough, Ma Xixi never went to her house since then, if Hu Xiaocao was not her own daughter, she would have the heart to strangle this damn girl.

The wound on Hu Xiaocao's face was almost healed, with faint red marks, and she lowered her head sullenly and hummed.

This side of the Shen family was also very lively, a few people gathered together to wash the rice, and to pick the beans, all of them were busy with work, chatting and laughing.

Shen Jiao was fine, the adults didn't let her work, and she was bored watching from the sidelines, so she put on her hat and said she wanted to go out to play with Ma Xinghua, Shen Jiaxing didn't take it seriously, and let her go after a few instructions gone.

Shen Jiao walked straight towards the stables of the farm. The weather has been very good these past few days, the snow on the ground has melted, the ground is loose from the sun, and it is very soft to step on. The stables are at the northernmost part of the farm, a bit far from the residential area , the other end is the livestock area of ​​the farm, where cattle, horses, sheep, pigs and other livestock are raised. Usually, no one would come here because they think it is too smelly.

Ma Xixi's three skinny horses were also imprisoned here, and Shen Jiao found the three horses with ease. When the three horses saw her, they snorted, wagged their tails, and showed affection in their eyes.

"Shh!"

Shen Jiao put her middle finger on her lips, signaling the horse to keep quiet, it would be a disaster if the caretaker was alarmed.

The manager of the farm only cares about raising cattle, sheep and pigs, but not the horses. The owners of the horses take care of them. For example, Ma Xixi is in charge of his three horses, and he also distributes the feed for the horses.

Shen Jiao has always suspected that Ma Xixike withheld the rations of these three horses, maybe the food that Hu Xiaocao and his wife ate was picked out of the mouths of these three poor horses, otherwise how could these three horses be so thin?
You must know that the farm treats animals such as cattle and horses better than people. The monthly rations will only be given more and not less.

It was quiet in the stable. It seemed that Ma Xixi was not there. He must have gone to Ma’s house for the holidays, and the manager at the other side of the sheepfold was not there. There was enough fodder in the pen, and the manager probably went home for the holidays.

Shen Jiao let go of her heart, took out three carrots from the small bag on her back, and stuffed them for the three horses. During this time, whenever she was free, she would quietly come over to feed the horses carrots, young grass eggs, etc. Although the three horses were still a little skinny, their coats were much more shiny, and Ma Xixi was specially praised for the captain of the horses.

Ma Xixi, a shameless person, accepted it frankly, but looking back at Ma'er, he should be buckled and scolded, Shen Jiao hates him so much!

"Is it delicious? If it's delicious, eat more. That damned Ma Xixi hit you again, right? Next time that guy hits you again, you'll kick him up and throw him in the mud, you know?" Shen Jiao felt distressed. Carefully touching the scar on the bay red horse's back, he took out the ointment and applied it on it.

Because this bay red horse is the weakest in physique, Ma Xixi often beats it, and Shen Jiao loves it the most.

The bay red horse stretched out its tongue to lick Shen Jiao's hand affectionately. The warm tongue tickled her, and she couldn't stop laughing. After making out with the horse enough, Shen Jiao took out the eggs and laid them one by one. Beat it for the horses, each horse eats three eggs, and she specially added an extra egg for the bay red horse to feed the three horses well.

"I'm going back, next time I'll bring a brush to brush your body, it's so comfortable!"

Shen Jiao reached out to touch the three horses, and was about to go back, but the ears of the three horses pricked up, and they stretched out their heads to touch Shen Jiao, as if to prevent her from going back.

"I really want to go back, or grandpa will be worried."

Shen Jiao thought that the horses were reluctant to part with her, so she reasoned with the horses politely, but the three horses still refused to let her go, and surrounded her tightly.

Shen Jiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, when she was about to push the horse away, she heard movement from outside.

"What are you doing, grandson?" It was a woman's voice, which sounded familiar.

Shen Jiao frowned. The name Sun Maodan sounded familiar too. Where had she heard it?

A man's angry voice rang out: "Are you looking for Ma Xixi? He's not here, he's already called by his sister to have porridge at home for the festival!"

Hu Xiangyu secretly resented, no wonder she went to Ma Xixi's residence and couldn't find anyone, and when she ran to this stable, she still couldn't find anyone, and even ran into a second-ball guy like Sun Maodan.

Ma Xinghua, this little bitch, spoiled her good things every time, and one day she must find a way to deal with this little bitch.
