Hard work

Chapter 219 Catch Up [Second Update]

Zang Lang went to work in the field, Lan Hua'er kept thinking about it, and looked outside from time to time to see the sky, forgetting the initial embarrassment.She didn't expect that Changwu, who was completely unfamiliar and looked like a pedant, would make such a joke with her, so she couldn't help but be a little bit dumbfounded, and just sat there, a little angry, and stopped talking to Changwu.

I don't know whether Changwu has noticed Lan Hua'er's emotions, anyway, he sat upright, finished his breakfast with a smile, and then offered to take him to the village chief's house.

"I still have to talk to the village chief." Changwu put down the bowl and wiped the corner of his mouth with his hand, "Maybe I won't come back for lunch, see you in the evening."

Lan Hua'er just wanted to deliver breakfast to Xiaodie, and then went outside to see Zang Lang's, and worried that it would be bad for Changwu and Xiaodie to stay at home.Hearing what Changwu said now, he didn't care what kind of distinguished guest the other party was, so he agreed after thinking about it.

She went to the front and called the village head up, watched Changwu and the still shaking village head leave the house, and then hurriedly delivered food to Xiaodie.He also told Xiaodie to stay at home alone, put on her coir raincoat, and went to the field.

It was a bit late when she went out, but there were still some people who had just come down from the banquet yesterday, who had just washed up from home and were heading to the field.When they saw the orchids, they greeted each other.

People kept asking her about Changwu on the road.Many people even said that the rain was harvested because Changwu practiced the law.

Lan Hua'er didn't believe it.If she was a bit skeptical at first, but after hearing those people's bragging last night, and Changwu made a joke about it this morning, her half-belief turned into complete disbelief.

It's just a coincidence.It's been raining for so many days, it's time to slow down.

It's just that the people in the village now trust Changwu very much, and Lan Hua'er can't express her thoughts directly, so she can only vaguely agree beside her.

The people who came down from the banquet were in high spirits, talking these words all the way.Only the man who had just lost his wife seemed to be unable to calm down until now, and he was a little depressed.Lan Hua'er watched from the side, and couldn't help thinking that many people at the banquet had just lost their children, and now there was not much sadness on their faces.

She couldn't help sighing from the bottom of her heart.

Zang Lang was taken aback when he saw Lan Huaer, and quickly thought about driving Lan Huaer home.Where can orchid flowers be willing.She knew that the crops in the field had been soaked for a long time, and finally there was a less rainy weather, so she had to quickly turn over the field, dig ditches and drain water again, so that the roots of the crops that had been soaked for a long time would slow down. .

Although she has never done such a thing before, she is still a village girl after all. The fields around the house are getting busy, so she just keeps watching.

"I can't do anything well, so I have to learn to do it. Who knows when it will rain again. We can't delay any longer. We can do as much as we can. Let's work together." Lan Hua The son spoke in an unquestionable tone.

Zang Lang scratched his head, and knew that the field was indeed a race for time, "Little lady, carry a basket, there are fish in this field, you can pick them all up. If you feel cold, go home quickly. Let's The family land is not big."

He was mainly worried that the orchid would catch a cold.

Although it is summer now, it has been raining and the sun has not come out recently, and the sky has been cloudy today, and the water accumulated in the fields is also a little chilly.He still remembered that Yang Langzhong said that orchids should not be soaked in cold water too much, especially the feet, it is best not to touch cold things.

It's just that the girls in the village don't have so many guesses.Sometimes when the laundry is not clean, Lan Hua'er will take off her shoes and socks, and jump directly into the basin to turn over the clothes and step on them.

Zang Lang knew that he had no way to persuade Lan Huaer, so he could only assign Lan Huaer an easier job.

"Fish?" Lan Hua'er was stunned for a while, and looked carefully at the field, only to find that the originally flat field had been scoured by the water to be full of potholes.I don't know where the water came up from, and the whole field was flooded like a pool.Now that there is no more heavy rain in the sky, some of the water in the fields has drained out, revealing the fish that were washed down from the mountain stream.

"Hey, I was thinking that there is not enough fresh food at home, so it is difficult to arrange cooking. Now that I have fish, it is good enough to eat for a few days." Lan Hua'er couldn't help but squinted her eyes with a smile.She originally thought about whether to go to the mountains to get some food when the rain was relatively light, but now she can't use it anymore, she can just pick up delicious food in the field, "Go back home, I'll burn you some Fish, make another soup. We haven't eaten fish for a long time."

Zang Lang smiled honestly and scratched his head.His hands are full of mud, and wherever he touches it, it will be smeared black.But he didn't care, after working in the field for a long time, his body didn't seem to be clean at all.Seeing Lan Hua'er rolled up his trouser legs and stepped carefully into the field, Zang Lang turned around and got busy again.

I don't know where the fish in this field were washed out. There are crucian carp that is usually caught, and loach that is not often seen, and there are even two big carp with orchids as long as the forearm.

This is a good thing that you can't usually catch if you want to catch it.Lan Hua'er chased for a long time but couldn't catch up, so she had to call Zang Lang to help.

Loach and carp are not slippery, especially in muddy water, where people have nowhere to start.While Zang Lang was chasing the two carp away, Lan Hua'er straightened up a little, and found that people in all directions were trying to catch fish while the water was draining.

But their enthusiasm is not very high.

People in the village don't seem to like fish very much, and they don't know how to cook it.The only way is to braise.But braised in soy sauce needs a lot of clear oil, so most people don't burn fish to eat.

Lan Hua'er had already thought about it, if she could catch the two carp, she would just fry the carp and cook it like a hot pot with herbs, and just eat the carp hot pot.Carp is also something that nourishes the body, even Xiaochou should be able to eat it.There is also Zang Lang, who has been outside in the rain recently. Although there is ginger soup every day, he can't hold on.

Zang Lang is indeed a trained man, Lan Hua'er just called him over when he caught two carp.He hooked the carp's mouth with one hand, grabbed the carp's gills with the other hand, and threw the carp into the basket with a flick of his hand.

Inspired by Zang Lang, Lan Huaer simply stopped touching fish with her hands so foolishly.Those fish were so slippery that she didn't catch many of them after catching them for a long time.

She said hello to Zang Lang, and excitedly ran home to fetch two baskets and came back, using the baskets to catch fish in the shallow water in the field.

No matter how slippery and nimble those fish were, now they lost their place to escape under Lan Hua'er's siege, and they were successfully fished into the basket by her.

Lan Huaer wanted to raise these fish for food in the next few days, so she could only carry the fish back to the house again and again.She was not strong enough to carry a bucket full of water and fish, so she had to run more diligently.

Because they don't know how long the light rain will last, people working in the fields dare not relax. Many people don't even dare to slow down to have lunch, and have been working hard on the edge of the field.Lan Hua'er didn't care about cooking lunch, she just warmed up the porridge she ate in the morning for herself and Xiaodie, took some pancakes and warmed them up, and sent them to Zang Lang.

When Zang Lang saw the pancakes that Lan Huaer sent over, he wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand, then lowered his head, and took a bite of the pancakes from Lan Huaer's hand.

Lan Hua'er was taken aback by Zang Lang's actions, and almost threw all the pancakes into the field in fright.

Zang Lang's approach was a little too intimate, and it felt like something only old couples would do.But Zang Lang did it very naturally, and there was no other expression on his face, he just swallowed the pancake he was biting in a hurry, and lowered his head again.

——This is so rushed that I don’t want to wash my hands anymore. It’s delicious.

Lan Hua'er was only frightened for a short while, and when she saw the sweat dripping down Zang Lang's neck, she couldn't help but feel soft in her heart, and then softened.

Zang Lang is so busy, she has nothing to blame him for.

"Eat slowly, don't choke." Lan Hua'er whispered, raising the pancake a bit higher, so that it would be easier for Zang Lang to eat, "I brought some soup, which is the soup of green vegetables and egg flowers. Do you want to have a drink first?"

Zang Lang's mouth was full of pancakes, he quickly shook his head, lowered his head and ate in a hurry.

"Slow down, okay? It's not too late." Lan Huaer persuaded again in a low voice, and even turned the pancake around.

Zang Lang tried his best to swallow the pancakes, and gave Lan Hua'er a simple and honest smile, "It's okay, I can go to the mountain for a walk after finishing the work earlier."

"What are you going to do? It's not easy to walk on the mountain now. Didn't you already catch some fish, so what are you doing so hard? It's not like the family can't eat." Lan Hua'er complained softly, and stretched out her hand to wipe Zang Lang. Face.Although the wound on his face had healed a long time ago, a scar had already formed, Lan Hua'er couldn't help wiping his face with her sleeve.

After Zang Lang finished eating the pancakes, she went back to bring soup to Zang Lang.

Zang Lang took the bowl this time, finished the soup quickly, put the bowl aside, and went to work in the field again.Lan Hua'er looked at his busy back, squinted his eyes and smiled behind him.

It feels good to have such a man in the family.
