Yuanyang Farming Story

Chapter 20

Although it is said that Xiaoxiu can't go down to the river to have fun, Xiaosu can still go down the river, put on one-piece rain pants, and walk from east to west with a corner of the fishing net with the neighbors, and catch countless fish .I don't know if it's because people are in good spirits on happy occasions, or because they think this fishing job is fun, Xiao Su smiled happily.

Seeing that Xiao Su was having fun, Xiaoxiu went home first, and she was going to get engaged in a few days, and there were still many things to do at home.The good woman is busy inside and out, and the two houses will be cleaned in a while, so that the people who come to drink will think that the host's house is lazy, and they don't clean up the house for such a happy event.So Xiaoxiu needs to clean the front and back of the house within one or two days.As small as the cobwebs in the corners, as large as the furniture, the dust must be swept away.

After Xiaoxiu was busy with sanitation work for a day, Xiaosu came back with a net of fish.Then he talked to Xiaoxiu with a proud face: "Xiu, there are a lot of fish. The captain said he would take care of us and make wine, so he specially gave us more!" All the fish here are big fish weighing three to four catties.After a rough look, it is estimated that there are twenty or thirty.So Xiaoxiu was hungry.

First handed a glass of water to Xiao Su, Xiao Xiu took two fish and ran to clean them up.Xiaosu followed Xiaoxiu with a teacup, squatted beside her to watch Xiaoxiu work, patted Xiaoxiu on the shoulder, and asked with gestures: "How do you eat this fish?"

Xiaoxiu is in a good mood when she has something to eat: "Eat one fish for two! Eat the fish head in soup, put some salt in the body of the fish, and cook it in braised braised salted fish in a few days!" The big fish head was eaten up and even drank a lot of soup. After eating it, the good woman said that she ate too much today.

On the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, the chef hired by the good woman came to have a look first.At this time, the treats are about big pieces of fish and big pieces of meat. Usually, there is not much oil and water in the food. The best opportunity to replenish oil and water is during the feast.Logically speaking, not every family will have a big engagement, but this time it is better than a good wife.I had to make a big deal out of it.

At the age of thirteen, the pig butcher came and pulled out the big sow from the pigsty. With the help of his apprentice and Xiao Su, he killed the pig neatly. It has already been set up, and now the two pots are burning hot water non-stop, and the pig hairs can only be shed when there is hot water, and the pig hairs are thrown into the pot to let the blood flow through, and then fished out for later use.

With the help of the pig butcher's knife, Xiaoxiu ruthlessly knocked several big pig bones into the pot to make soup.Even the pigs in the water had to be sent to Xiaosu to clean up.The fat sausage is washed and processed, and the braised fat sausage is very delicious.In the evening, the neighbors who came to help have dinner at Xiaoxiu's house, braised fat intestines, big bone soup, and fried cabbage. Although there are not many dishes, the amount is full. After eating, they work harder to help .

On the night of the fourteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Xiao Su's comrades-in-arms rushed over. There were a dozen or so big men. When these people appeared at the gate with dusty faces, Xiao Su almost shed tears.With a swoop, he hugged all these people one by one.Pull them into the house and sit.Xiaoxiu took out the washbasin, put a brand new towel on it, poured hot washing water, and asked those big men to go to the dust first.

Xiao Su kept giggling after entering the room, and when Xiao Xiu was busy, those big men were discussing in a low voice. "Squad leader, Xiao Su's daughter-in-law looks pretty good, but she's not as good as my daughter-in-law."

"Your daughter-in-law slaves. I think Xiao Su's wife is very good." Since they entered the house, Xiao Su's wife has been busy, first pouring water to warm everyone's hands, and then pouring water for everyone's face. Make dinner for everyone.

Tomorrow is the first day, and there is plenty of food at home, but the rice needs to be cooked fresh, Xiaoxiu thinks about it, and decides to cook a pot full of rice.Xiao Su said that everyone in the army has a big appetite.It's better to be prepared.As soon as the food was prepared, the good woman came over to remind her. Tonight, Xiaoxiu had to take a bath early and go to bed early, so that she would be in good spirits to greet her guests tomorrow.

After taking a bath, the good woman told Xiaoxiu to go to bed.But where can Xiaoxiu sleep at this time?But the good woman stayed by Xiaoxiu's bed all the time, so Xiaoxiu had no choice but to pretend to be asleep. After a while, the good woman tucked Xiaoxiu in the quilt and walked out.As soon as the good woman left, Xiaoxiu entered the courtyard.Although it is already December, the grapes planted in this courtyard are still the same size as when they were just set.

Out of the courtyard, Xiaoxiu stood in front of the land and looked around. There are no obvious four seasons in this courtyard, and the temperature is always so suitable, so many out-of-season dishes can be found here.Leek, lentils, wax gourd, tomato, edamame, eggplant... Although these plants are all bearing fruit, if these things can be moved out, then tomorrow's engagement banquet will be a little more colorful.But if these things are really released, then Xiaoxiu will not be able to explain the origin of these things.So let it go.Or usually my family slowly make something to eat.

Soaking in the hot spring, Xiaoxiu ate the freshly picked tomatoes while soaking, and when she finished eating two tomatoes, Xiaoxiu got up.There is still a tough battle to fight tomorrow!Thinking of the engagement banquet that is expected to have nearly a hundred people coming tomorrow, Xiaoxiu felt that she couldn't bear it!

On Xiaosu's side, he was holding a cup of tea to accompany his comrades.Although it is not good to have tea to accompany drinks, no one wants to see a new official who is hungover.

"Xiao Su, Li Li said that she would come tomorrow too. Originally, she would come with us today, but her mother disagreed, so she had to come back tomorrow." The squad leader ate the braised pork cooked by Xiaoxiu while talking to Xiao Su. Through the news.

In the army before, Xiao Su was accidentally injured during training, and Li Li met in the infirmary.After getting acquainted with this, Li Li often came to look for Xiao Su, and brought some food from time to time, some useful food.Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that Li Li is interested in Xiao Su, but Xiao Su has never expressed anything.But this time Xiaosu is engaged and Li Li is coming, everyone is really not sure what she means.Because Li Li is a very hot girl.

The night passed quickly, and Xiaoxiu got up early the next morning, and those who got up early also had two bridesmaids who wanted to accompany Xiaoxiu.A bridesmaid is a little girl who accompanies the bride, and is usually acted by a little sister who usually gets along well.And Xiaoxiu has been here for so long, and there are only a few people who get along well with her, one is Xiaomei, the daughter of Uncle Li's family at the end of the village, and the other is Miss Xiaoyan at the east end of the village.

Xiaomei and Miss Xiaoyan also came early.Help Xiaoxiu get dressed.The new clothes that the good woman made for Xiaoxiu were red floral quilts, and the new trousers were made of black corduroy.Xiaoxiu's half-length hair was combed into two braids by Xiaomei and Xiaoyan, and the tail was tied with a headband. Xiaoxiu's face was covered with cream.The cream has a light fragrance.Xiaoxiu, who is so dressed up like this, looks very beautiful.

Today Xiaoxiu only needs to laugh, and she doesn't need to take care of other things.The good woman made an agreement with the old uncle in the team a few days ago, and on the day of the engagement, all affairs will be arranged by the old uncle.The old man usually helps with wedding banquets and so on. He has a lot of experience in this area.Leave it to him, everyone is most at ease.
