Reborn 1960之巧女当家

Chapter 12 Food Delivery
Brother and sister Wen Hao helped put all the prepared meals into two big bamboo baskets. Xia Nuan even filled a pot of cold boiled water with the kettle at home. The few of them helped to carry the meals and the kettle together I went to the land to find Xia Guozhong and his wife.

Xia Zhongguo and his wife were working in the field hungry. How could their children want to eat at home? They simply took all the food and prepared the family to have lunch together on the field.

When the few of them were rushing to the field, they met many people who came to deliver food like them. Wen Hao met the village chief of Dafeng Village who was having lunch there. The cadres in the village have a little power, but after all A more honest person, of course he would not stand aside and watch as everyone is busy harvesting grain this autumn.

"Uncle Village Chief, where are my parents working today? We brought them lunch."

All the land in the village is collectively owned, and the autumn harvest in the village has already started for three days, and they are busy in different places every day, but the work done by the villagers is arranged by the village head, so I want to know where Xia Zhongguo and the others work Asking the village head is the fastest way.

Like the villagers, the village chief had a good impression of the Xia family's children. When he saw Wen Hao and the others holding two bamboo baskets and a large kettle, he knew that they were here to deliver food, and every time the Xia family's children Everyone smiled and called him the village head uncle, which made him feel more at ease.

"Haozi, come and deliver food to your parents. Your parents are working with Goudan and his family on the west side of the field today!"

The village head pointed to the paddy field on the west side. There were several people in straw hats working there, but they were too far away to see if it was Xia Zhongguo and the others.

"Thank you, Uncle Village Chief, then we'll go there first." Wen Hao greeted the village chief and went to the place the village chief said.

Wen Hao, a half-grown child, was carrying a bamboo basket followed by three little radish heads of about the same height. Anyone who saw that look would find it amusing. Wen Hao and Wen Zhi carried the big bamboo basket together. As for Xia Nuan holding the The big kettle also struggled slowly behind them.

When they got closer and saw that it was Xia Zhongguo and Wen Hao, they shouted at the top of their voices, "Dad...Mom... It's time for dinner, we're here to bring you food."

Xia Zhongguo and Wang Ximei, who were bending over to cut rice in the field, heard the voice of their children and immediately straightened their waists and looked in the direction of the sound. They saw four children bringing food with them and hurried over to greet them.

Xia Zhongguo hastily put down the sickle in his hand and ran over to take what Xia Nuan and Wen Zhi were holding.

"The portion of this meal is really not light. How did you bring your sister out when the sun is so big? You guys haven't eaten at noon yet. Let's go over there to eat under the shade of the tree, and my daughter's father will carry you there."

Xia Zhongguo hugged Xia Nuan to the side under the shade of a tree, so it would be cooler. He saw that Xia Nuan's little face was flushed from the sun, but his heart ached.

"Good girl, it's too hot, come and dad will pour you water to drink, daughter-in-law, come and drink some water too, the autumn harvest weather is really hot to death."

Of the three brats in the family, only this sweet-smelling daughter, Xia Zhongguo, felt that no amount of pain was enough, and she didn't have the slightest idea that those in the village favored boys over girls.

Xia Zhongguo was worried that Xia Nuan would accidentally drop it when he saw that Xia Nuan was holding the big kettle, and Xia Zhongguo was worried that Xia Nuan would accidentally drop it, but his heart ached. made by dolls.

"Dad, I'm going to come here with my elder brother and the others. It's not good for me to eat at home alone. I want to eat with my parents, okay?"

Xia Nuan has nothing to do with being coquettish to Xia Zhongguo, who is only a few years older than her previous life. Anyway, she is just a doll now, so there is nothing to be ashamed of.

After they drank enough cold boiled water, they took out the bowls and chopsticks and prepared to eat, "Dad, you and Mom are sweating profusely, wipe them off quickly!" Xia Nuan took out the towels she brought and helped Xia Zhongguo and Wang Ximei wipe them off. Sweat dripped from his face.

The family sat on the rocks under the shade of the tree and started eating lunch, but they didn't pay much attention to Xia's side. At this time, everyone is basically eating lunch!

"Yo... Wen Hao, your cooking skills have improved so fast. You can cook better than mom. Why don't you leave all the food at home to you!" Wang Ximei tasted the food and thought it was delicious. What Wen Hao did was joke with him.

"Mom, it's Wuxi (not) Big Brother did it, it's (was) Xiaonuan did it." Wenzhi spoke inarticulately with a pancake stuffed in his mouth.

Now Xia Zhongguo and Wang Ximei were frightened by Wenzhi, and began to check up and down whether Xia Nuan was injured, "Girl, how can you cook? It's so dangerous, you are not as tall as the stove !"

"Yes, let mom see if there is any injury. This kitchen is full of fire and knives. You are still young. If there is an accident, what will you ask dad and mom to do!"

Wang Ximei searched up and down and did not find any injury in Xia Nuan, so she let go of her heart. Xia Nuan is the youngest and only daughter of the Xia family. Even if Wang Ximei and Xia Zhongguo used to have patriarchal thoughts, they will now I feel so sorry for my daughter.

"Mom and Dad, I'm fine and I'm fine. Cooking is not difficult. Seeing that Mom has done it so many times, I've learned it too. Besides, there are big brothers and others helping me! Mom should take advantage of it first." Let's eat hot, I'm already hungry."

At most, Xia Nuan felt that it was inconvenient to cook because she was too short, but she really didn't feel the danger.

Hearing Xia Nuan said that he was hungry, Xia Zhongguo and his wife couldn't care less about other things, so they picked up chopsticks and kept helping Xia Nuan pick up vegetables, "Xiao Nuan, how do you make these pancakes? What I make should be more fragrant, right?"

The villagers only care about whether they can eat well or not. Few people pay attention to it. Wang Ximei has been cooking for so many years because of the lack of seasoning and oil. The dishes are always boiled with water. They can be full but the taste is not very good. up.

Although the meals Xia Nuan made at noon were simple and not oily, they were delicious and much better than Wang Ximei's cooking. Wang Ximei couldn't let Xia Nuan cook alone all the time, so she wanted to ask if there was any trick to cooking.

"It's nothing special. I just mixed some flour and two eggs into the cornmeal of the pancake. It would be strange if it didn't taste good!" Xia Nuan whispered to Wang Ximei how she made the pancake.

"What? An egg? Where did you get this egg?"

Wang Ximei lowered her voice desperately. The Xia family only raised ten chickens and could collect a few eggs every day, but all the eggs at home were locked in the cabinet by Wang Ximei. A few made mistakes.

"Mom, don't worry, we found these eggs on the mountain. You have worked so hard in the autumn harvest these days. I want to make some delicious food for you to supplement. Mom, please hurry up and eat the eggs. Let's talk about the eggs when we go home in the evening. Here There are too many people to talk to.”

Wang Ximei and Xia Zhongguo were stunned when they saw Xia Nuan's words. They were also very surprised that a six-year-old child could say such words. They felt that Xia Nuan had changed a lot since she recovered from her illness.

There are a lot of people eating around here, quite a few of them are eating whole grains, and of course there are also people with good conditions who are eating white flour steamed buns, so Xia’s pancakes are not eye-catching, and Wang Ximei is not very good in front of so many people. ask.
