Travel through the farmhouse leisurely

Chapter 68
Lin Xiaoqiao felt a little "unconscionable" that it didn't matter if the two elder brothers got tanned, after all, they were both men, not to mention that they were only sunbathing outside these few days, after this period Time, it's not like sitting in the school all day, the wind can't blow, the rain can't hit, so her little guilt is also wiped out by herself.

Originally, Lin Erniu didn't want his wife, Li Shi, to go to the fields with him. He always remembered what the doctor said last time, and Li Shi had better not be too tired in the future.

However, Mrs. Li felt sorry for her husband and son, and thought about how long it would take for the three of them to work on such fields.

Moreover, she also knew that her body had almost recuperated in the past few months, so she insisted on going to help in the field, promising that her husband would never harvest by himself, but just help bundle the harvested rice.

Lin Erniu couldn't hold her back, although she still felt distressed, she could only let Mrs. Li follow her to help.

On the other side, Lin Erniu and the others arrived in the field. Looking up, a large piece of golden rice was so heavy that it seemed that the rice stalks were about to be crushed. The out-and-out peasants, all of them are smiling.

So, when they first started working, everyone was full of energy, and the movements of cutting rice with their hands were very neat.

But before an hour had passed, the movements and speed of the two Dalang brothers slowed down significantly, presumably the freshness and enthusiasm at the beginning had already passed.

But the two of them didn't give up at this point, they still persisted, but they didn't use up all their energy like they did at the beginning.

At this end, the Lin Xiaoqiao sisters were also racking their brains thinking about what to cook for lunch.

Both of them knew that harvesting rice was quite exhausting, so they had to be eaten by those who went to work in the fields.

The sisters Lin Xiaoqiao looked at a large piece of pork belly that Mrs. Li had already bought on the table, and they discussed how to use it to make braised pork.

Since braised pork is to be served, the staple food must be served with fragrant white rice, so that it is delicious.

So, the two sisters started to wash rice and cook, wash vegetables and cut meat.

Lin Xiaoqiao saw that the rice had been steamed, so he planned to wash another big pot and prepare to make braised pork.

She wiped away the water stains in the pot, poured a small spoonful of oil into the pot, and then put the cut and washed large pieces of fat into the pot to boil the oil.

In fact, her way of doing this was not recognized by the old and young masters of the Lin family at first, because the three of them used to like to bite big pieces of fat that were full of oil in their mouths, and it was so refreshing to eat like that!

Lin Xiaoqiao also quite understands their mentality. After all, their family used to have nothing to eat all year round. Of course, they are looking forward to the big fat meat that they can only eat once in a while.

However, since the separation of the family, under the supervision of Lin Xiaoqiao, Mrs. Li always cooks with enough oil every time she cooks. Because of this, Mrs. Li said several times that she is a prodigal, but Seeing the obviously increased appetite of everyone at the dinner table, Mrs. Li had no choice but to give up.

Lin Xiaoqiao saw that the fat in the pot was almost boiled, so he scooped out most of the fat with a spoon and put it in a bowl for later cooking.

The next step was to throw the lean meat into the pot and stir-fry it non-stop. I saw her little person standing on a small bench and using a big spatula to stir-fry with some effort.

The meat in the pot was quickly fried golden brown, Lin Xiaoqiao added some shochu, ginger to remove the fishy smell, added some soy sauce for coloring, then poured some hot water into it, covered the pot and let it cook on its own Just simmer and cook.

Lin Xiaoqiao instructed Lin Xiaoxi, who was sweating profusely, to watch the pot boil before switching to a low fire, and then ran to the vegetable field to find some edible vegetables.

The vegetable field of their family is not very big, but there are quite a lot of vegetables grown in it.

Lin Xiaoqiao wandered around, and finally picked out a few cucumbers that hadn't grown very big, and planned to make a cucumber salad, which is the most refreshing and appetizing to eat in this weather.

Then, he cut a few more chives, used four eggs, and fried a large pot of scrambled eggs with leeks. Lin Xiaoqiao felt that this dish was very good for dinner.

Soon, the Lin family's lunch was completed with the cooperation of the two sisters. A pot of scrambled eggs with leeks, a pot of cold cucumbers, a big bowl of braised pork, and a big pot of white rice, looked quite rich of.

For that shiny braised pork dish, Lin Xiaoqiao purposely reserved some more soup, thinking that he could serve Da Lang and the others with rice, and the taste should be very good.

Seeing that the time was about the same, Mrs. Li and the others probably must be hungry too, so the sisters Lin Xiaoqiao put all the food in the bamboo baskets, carried a large pot of cold water, and set off to deliver food to the fields. .

When they arrived in the field, they could see from a distance that Mrs. Li and the others were sitting and resting under the trees at the head of the field. It could be seen that they were all very tired and their faces were flushed from the sun.

The two sisters quickly arranged the meals, Lin Xiaoqiao urged each of them to drink a bowl of cold boiled water before letting them eat.

The two brothers, Dalang and Erlang, looked a little listless, especially Erlang, who didn't eat as vigorously as usual, obviously tired, Lin Xiaoqiao looked very distressed.

Therefore, Lin Xiaoqiao suggested to Lin Erniu who was on the side: "Father, why don't we hire a few part-time workers, and it doesn't cost much money. You see, the two brothers are exhausted and can't even eat well." It's time."

Mrs. Li also felt sorry for her two sons, but she didn't say anything.

It was Lin Erniu who said: "Where can I find someone now? Every household is busy harvesting rice. What's more, the two old men, Dalang Erlang, have suffered a little bit, and they won't be able to read it for two years. Tianshu, I can’t afford to do farm work.”

Lin Xiaoqiao was a little surprised by Lin Erniu's words. She didn't expect that although her father was honest and simple, even a little filial, and didn't know how to change many things, he didn't completely spoil his son's upbringing. He was willing to let him suffer, but treated the two of them The girl is very doting.

Both Dalang and Erlang brothers expressed their opinions one after another, saying that they are men, and this little hardship is tolerable, Lin Xiaoqiao had no choice but to give up after hearing this.

In the following days, Lin Erniu still took the three of Li's family to set off in the morning and return at sunset. The two brothers Dalang Erlang did farm work for five days without complaining, and they didn't go to school until the sixth day.

Both of them were tanned a lot, but fortunately, they were just not used to it the day before, and the food was good every day, so they didn't collapse from exhaustion, instead they looked stronger.
