Hard work

Chapter 209 Summer Solstice

The life in the village is still going by just as quickly. After the summer slowly started to come, Lan Huaer even went to the back mountain to catch some cicadas and fry them secretly.

She used to be a Cantonese in modern times. She ate too much of these things and didn't think there was anything special at all. On the contrary, she missed them very much, so she secretly made them now.She didn't intend to give this food back to others, but Zang Lang heard that he had eaten all kinds of messy things when he was on a mission before, and when he saw Lan Hua'er eating this, he ate it silently.

Lan Hua'er still felt a little embarrassed, always felt like she had abused Zang Lang, seeing that he really didn't care much, but was eating happily instead, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

But she doesn't dare to make these things frequently in the village, because people in the village don't eat these things, and they never think that these things are edible. If she makes things too shocking, some people will probably avoid them She said something sarcastic behind her back.She just ate it secretly by herself, which was considered a satisfying craving.

When summer was about to reach its peak, that is, during the longest days, Yagyu really went to the city with his relatives.Lan Hua'er didn't know exactly where she was going and how long she was going, and she was not interested in delving into this issue, but just like everyone else in the village, she watched Liu Sheng like a pilgrim on the hottest day. The same set foot on the road into the city.

She even asked Zang Lang secretly how different it is between the city and the village.

Zang Lang thought for a long time, comforted her and said:
"The vegetables grown in the village are more delicious."

Lan Hua'er couldn't help but knocked him on the head, "You're not talking nonsense. The vegetables in the village are all grown by ourselves. We pick them fresh and put them in the pot. How can they be delicious? I'm not asking You. You don’t need to feel that you have to persuade me. I’m not a person who is unhappy if I haven’t seen the world, and I won’t be complacent because I haven’t seen the world. Just tell me what it’s like in the city. .”

Zang Lang scratched his head, looked at Lan Hua'er secretly for a while, and found that she really had no special reaction, then slowly described the situation in the city to Lan Hua'er.

According to what Zang Lang said, it is actually somewhat similar to the costume dramas that Lan Huaer saw on TV in modern times.The city is naturally more prosperous than Aozi Village and the town, and it is also wider, more beautiful and tidy.

However, because the Dayin Dynasty was established for a relatively short period of time, and it had experienced a long period of war before, even if it had been cultivated for 30 to [-] years, there were still not enough people living in the city.It was empty and looked a little desolate.

Because of this, Zang Lang said that he prefers Aozi Village to the city.

There is another sentence that he kept in his heart and didn't say it, because only in the village can he get so close to Lan Hua'er.If you are in the city, you need to take care of such and such things, such and such gazes, everyone has strange responsibilities, that's why Lan Du and Fang Ning Ai escaped from that place, and Guan Ju didn't want to go back. that place to go.

Orchid said "oh".

On the contrary, she felt that both the city and the village had their own characteristics, no matter where they were, as long as they were happy, they would be able to live well.In fact, she doesn't really yearn for life in the city, she's just a little curious.Zang Lang thought that Lan Hua'er wanted to go to the city, and he was really nervous for a while. He was relieved when Lan Hua'er finally said with a smile that he had no interest in life in the city.

Lan Hua'er didn't mind going to the city to take a look if she had the chance, and she had learned a lot just like Liu Sheng.After all, in ancient times, one has to look at everything to feel that this life is not in vain.It would look a bit useless if you didn't even take a step out of the village gate after time travelling.

"However," Lan Hua'er added next to him, "don't worry about it. Brother will go to the city to take the exam in the future. Well, I know he will have the opportunity to go to the capital to take the exam. At that time, I will I still want to follow, and I can also follow to see, so there is no chance. It is business to earn enough money first."

"I don't like being in the city. If the little lady is happy... I can follow the little lady..."

Zang Lang muttered beside him, looking unhappy but not daring to be unhappy.

Lan Hua'er asked him why he didn't like life in the city, but he couldn't explain why.Lan Hua'er could only ignore his opinion temporarily.

After Liu Sheng left, people in the village began to talk about things in the city from time to time.In the entire Aozi village, surprisingly few people have been to the city.Lan Hua'er thought there could be at least ten or eight, but it turned out that there were only three, including Liu Sheng's.

People in the village seemed to suddenly realize that there is such a thing as a "city", and somehow everyone started talking about life in the city.In fact, none of them had ever been to the city, and what they said was simply ridiculous.It was also said that people in the city all have a yard three times larger than that in the village, and all kinds of vegetables are grown in the yard.

"There are houses with yards in the city, but they only grow trees and flowers—ah, there may be some fruit trees." Zang Lang whispered beside him.

But he is not a pushy person, and he doesn't like to argue with others. Although he knows what those people say is ridiculous, he just mutters to himself, and doesn't go forward to argue with them.

Lan Hua'er heard it was funny, and couldn't help but think of a Mary Sue novel she read before time travel.The background of the heroine of the novel seems to be a young lady from a big family.In order to show how rich the heroine's family is, the author cited such an example-the heroine charged 1000 million to her bus card.

The people in the village are very similar to the author of that Mary Su novel.

When the summer is in full swing, there is endless work in the fields every day.

Although Zang Lang didn't want Lan Hua'er to go to the field, he was afraid that Lan Hua'er would get sunburned and sunburned, but he couldn't bear the work and couldn't finish it, so Lan Hua'er would take some time every day to go to the field help.Even if it's just removing some weeds and carrying two buckets of water, it's better than Zang Lang who is too busy to turn around alone.

The people in the village watched Lan Huaer go to the field to help, and then Zang Lang followed Lan Huaer around, and couldn't help laughing at the two of them kindly.

Someone else yelled at Orchid:

"Alan, if you don't come, Zang's family is just busy and can finish the work every day. If you stand by the field, he will just follow you around. I will do the work in the field. It looks like it can’t be done.”

Lan Hua'er and Zang Lang were both ashamed by what they said, so Lan Hua'er drove Zang Lang back to the field, not allowing Zang Lang to follow her around.

"You follow me around, can I save some sun? You are tall, and you can't block all the sun. It's better to finish the work in the field quickly, and let's go home earlier." Lan Hua'er He chased the wolf like a puppy, and finally drove the wolf back to the field.

The most free time is naturally the day when the sky suddenly rains.

Whenever there is a heavy rain, people in the village can take a moment to sit in front of the house and sort out the vegetables grown in the yard, and then sit comfortably in front of the yard, watching the rain from the sky, while discussing this year's Will the harvest be a little more because of this rain?

At this time, Lan Hua'er became busy instead.

Because she has to go to the fields with Zang Lang to help in summer, so only in the rainy days can she spare some time to cook some delicious food for Zang Lang at home. It can also be regarded as a comfort to comfort yourself.

Once it rains heavily, she will start to prepare various materials at home, and make some desserts or pasta that can be stored for a long time even in summer, so that in the long summer days to come Can have something good to eat.She likes making mung bean soup very much, and also likes making winter melon soup, sweet and salty, and they can be made in different ways.

It's a pity that there is no well in the house, so there is no way to freeze all the food and drink.

When the rain is a little weaker, Lan Huaer will let Zang Lang go to the back mountain to see if he can catch things like frogs and frogs.In the past, their Zhao family was poor and had no fields, but now there are many fields, and voles can be caught in autumn.

Lan Hua'er counted every edible thing around her, and worried whether Zang Lang would dislike her for being the one who dared to eat anything.However, she was obviously overwhelmed.Zang Lang has eaten more strange things than she does, and he has absolutely no objection to those meats that are squeaking or overcooked.

Zang wolves are not afraid of internal organs or blood clots, or small animals on the fields, mountains and mountains.

"It's as good as it tastes," Zang Lang kept saying. "The food made by the little lady is delicious, so it doesn't matter."

Lan Hua'er was almost moved to tears, and discovered another advantage of Zang Lang.

No wonder people say that it is best to find someone from the right family, even someone who grew up in a similar environment.Lan Huaer once dated a man in modern times. When he returned from studying in Australia, he would not eat anything except pork, beef, and mutton, and he would not even touch his internal organs.At that time, she felt that living with that man was too unhappy, so she said goodbye to him quickly.As long as she thought about going out on a date with that man, she suddenly wanted to eat offal, but the man looked disgusted, and she resolutely broke up with that man.

Such a day has never been posted!
