Xiaoqiao Liushui Renjia

Chapter 73

"No! We can finish the work in my house by ourselves. You should go back quickly, or I will come to you later."

Zhang Meng felt very bored, everyone was busy with work, so there was no one to play with him, so he kindly helped Xiaoqiao with work, he didn't appreciate it.There was a bit of displeasure in his expression, "Then when will your house be finished, I'm almost bored to death!"

It's true that a full man doesn't know that a hungry man is hungry, everyone is so busy!Ye Xiaoqiao walked towards home, and said: "After the busy farming is over, you can come to us again, you can go back and read more books, or you can go to your relatives in the county to play, I am busy now, I don't have time to talk to you." You play." Sure enough, it is a little boy, the most concerned thing is to play.

It is said that the children of the poor are headed home early, which is not false at all.Zhang Meng followed Ye Xiaoqiao to her house. He is boring, and the sisters in the family are very boring, and it is not fun at all to compare food and clothing every day. He would rather come and talk to Xiaoqiao. After leaving the kitchen, he followed in.

"Your kitchen is so small, but it's quite clean."

Ye Xiaoqiao saw that the kid was still refusing to leave, so he said, "Then, go to the yard and pick some cucumbers, eggplants, and tomatoes for me, you don't know me."

"Who said it? Of course I know it! Just wait!" Zhang Meng went to pick vegetables in the vegetable garden with high spirits.It's finally quiet!She still has to think about what to cook for lunch.

It’s easy to shoot cucumbers, but they don’t serve rice. Tomatoes have never turned red, they are all green. I guess there is no such thing as turning red at this time. It’s all natural, but fried with green peppers, really It is delicious.

It takes a lot of oil to fry eggplant, but it will be strong when there is more oil. Ye Xiaoqiao went to get rice and prepare to cook. Their family seldom eats rice, because rice is expensive, and there is no paddy field at home. They rely entirely on buying and eating. I'm sorry, but my aunt gave it away, and only entertained guests when they came.Both uncle and uncle are here today, and eating rice is a must.

"I picked it back!" Zhang Meng proudly carried the basket and showed it to Ye Xiaoqiao. Ye Xiaoqiao was almost out of breath when he saw it. What kind of thing did they pick? The cucumbers have not grown up yet. Tomatoes are too green and can’t be any greener. People want to pick the kind with a little white in the green, and then they will look similar, not to mention eggplants.

Zhang Meng originally wanted to be praised, but seeing Xiaoqiao's expression, he knew that he hadn't done it well, "This is my first time, I will definitely be better next time."

Next time, forget it, Ye Xiaoqiao said: "Before the weather is still hot, you should go back quickly, otherwise the situation will be great when someone finds you." Landlord Zhang is the only grandson, then But it hurts so much, if Zhang Meng sneaks out by accident, he must send someone to look for him.As soon as I found it, there were many people, and everyone knew about it.

Zhang Mengbian said: "I'm such an old man, are you afraid that I will get lost? People watch me every day! I'm so annoying!" Even though he said this, he was afraid that the old man would send someone to look for him on time. Embarrassed, he said to Xiaoqiao: "Then I'll come and play with you tomorrow."

"After the busy farming season is over, everyone is not free now!" He has to be busy tomorrow, this kid is free, so he has to consider everyone's actual situation.

Zhang Meng went back reluctantly. At noon, Ye Xiaoqiao finished all the food, put it in a basket, and sent it to the field. It was a waste of time to go home to eat at this time. Everyone sent it to the field to eat. Yes, one to one to save a lot of time.

There was a big willow tree not far from the field of Ye Zhu’s house. After Ye Xiaoqiao brought the food, everyone walked under the big willow tree. Xiaoqiao first poured herbal tea for everyone, and then arranged the food When the uncle saw the food, he said, "Second Sister, this food is too much, let's do it as usual."

Ye Zhu hurriedly said: "There are not many dishes, you can try the rice cooked by your niece, if it suits your taste."

Xiaoqiao also said: "Uncle, you can taste it, whether it is salty or bland."

In the end, my uncle felt that the taste was good. Ye Xiaoqiao knew it was a special compliment to himself, but he was still very happy.

The uncle said while eating: "Look at your wheat, it is much better than others. My brother-in-law is good at farming. From now on, we will ask you when we plant the few acres of land."

Of course Ye Zhu was fine, this was something he could only wish for. In the past, his father-in-law's family took care of his family, so it would be great to be able to help his uncle's family.

The big guys ate very fast and didn’t have time to rest, so they continued to work in the field. It took Xiaoqiao and his uncles two days of help to collect all the crops in the field, and another day to collect all the wheat. It was hammered down, and now it is waiting for the ashes to dry. This process does not need help. Ye Zhu and Lixia can take turns to dry, and drying grains cannot be dried in a day, so uncle and uncle They went home, and Mrs. Wu picked several boxes of vegetables from the vegetable field and brought them back.

And Ye Zhu picked up a lot of food, ready to go to help the old house, Wu looked distressed, but he couldn't justify not letting him go, people, it's really different, they are busy here, go to the house Over there, I never thought of coming to help, and I didn't feel guilty, but on my own side, if I didn't help after I was busy, I would feel guilty and flustered, and my heart was still too soft.

"Let's go with you, the children have been busy for so long, and they are a little too much!" Wu said to Ye Zhu.

Ye Zhu also knew that the children had worked hard, so he didn't let a few of them go with him. Li Xia knew that if he went by himself, but his father didn't go, there would be something to say over there, and he had to do something in the fish pond. After a few days of busy work in the field, the fish pond became a bit negligent, so they agreed. Xiaofeng and Xiaoqiao didn't want to help Shangfang, and this decision was just in line with their wishes.Xiaofeng also said: "Mother, if the nose is not the nose, the eyes are not the eyes, don't hold back, just come back, we don't owe them anything!"

Wu said with a smile: "Understood, Mother knows it well!"

Xiaoqiao still thinks it's better to prepare meals for his parents, and he doesn't expect to have such a heart.

At home, Liqiu watched the wheat in the house to prevent the chickens and birds from coming to eat the grain, while Ye Xiaoqiao and Xiaofeng went to the wheat field with a basket to pick ears of wheat. Last year, they picked up dozens of catties Well, that's white flour, and when made into steamed buns, it's a fragrant white mask. Many children in Yejia Village can do this job.

Xiaoqiao's family finished their work earlier, and other people's homes still had land that hadn't been harvested. At least some wheat was harvested this year. Apart from paying taxes, there was still some left over.Both Wu and Ye Zhu feel sorry for their children. If they are not short of money, they usually don't sell food and save it for the big guys to eat.

"Xiaomi, why did you come out?" When I was going to the field, I met Xiaomi, who was also carrying a basket, and seemed to be picking ears of wheat.

Xiaomi said: "Hey, I'm just waiting for you. My mother said that I can't do my job. I play every day in the house, so I'll come out to pick up wheat ears. Sister Xiaofeng, Sister Xiaoqiao, I know who There are a lot of ears of wheat in the field, so come with me."

Xiaofeng said: "How do you know? There is still a certainty about this matter?" He obviously didn't believe it.

"I just know, you said, there must be a lot of wheat ears left in his house."

"Yo, you're really smart now, let's go, let's go to Tie Dan's house!"

The three of them happily went to Tie Dan's field. The village basically knew which one belonged to which field. As long as it was cleaned up, the children could pick it up. This was an unwritten rule, and Tie Dan His mother's work is relatively rough, which is Xiaowazi's favorite, but when they arrived here, there were people in the field, it was Osmanthus and the others.

"What are you afraid of? Anyway, this place doesn't belong to his family, so we won't leave yet." Xiaofeng said.

Osmanthus over there looked at Xiaoqiao and the others, rolled her eyes, and said, "We've already occupied this place, so we need to pick it up elsewhere!"

Xiaofeng said: "Can you manage it? This is not your land!" Xiaofeng and the others ignored her, and went to the field to pick wheat ears.

Osmanthus fragrans was annoyed by Xiaofeng's words, and said: "It's really shameless to pick up other people's leftovers." She was talking about Xiaoqiao and the others picking up her leftovers, but she forgot one thing, this place was originally picked up. others left.To say that they are shameless is actually to mention her own stature.

"Who knows if you say it's shameless!" Xiaomi was also high-spirited and wanted to quarrel with them.

There was Xinghua who helped Osmanthus last time, but now that Xinghua is getting older, she won’t do the job of picking ears of wheat. Personally, there are some things that can't be said.

"You are dead, why don't you help?" Osmanthus fragrans said to the man.

The man smiled and said: "Yo, we only listen to my aunt and grandma. I accompanied you to pick up wheat ears, not to quarrel with you. If you want me to say, this girl should be gentle, what are you doing?" Quarreling? It would be bad if my aunt heard about it. "

"What is aunt? Is it grandma's sister?" Xiaomi asked.

Xiaoqiao knew that Osmanthus fragrans had an aunt who became a concubine for others, and this aunt should be her, but the auntie's maid accompanied Osmanthus fragrans to pick up wheat ears, this is really a scene!
"Don't ask, it's all bad words, we've been caught!" Xiaoqiao said to Xiaomi.

Xiaomi seemed to understand, but seeing that sweet-scented osmanthus was choked by that person and was about to cry, she felt comfortable, so she went to pick wheat ears with her two sisters.

Osmanthus fragrans over there originally wanted to follow up on the matter of her aunt's return, to show off her prestige, so she begged to let this girl go out with her, so that everyone would know that she still had a maid to serve her, but in the end she met Ye Xiaoqiao and the others. Before she could show off, the girl turned her nostrils to the sky, and even said enough about herself.

"You wait, go back, I promise to tell my aunt about you!" Osmanthus fragrans pointed at the girl's nose and said.

"You please!" It's just a mud leg, and his cats are rarer than yours!You still want me to serve you, and you don't even look into your eyes!No matter how good my aunt is, she is only half a master, so what's the big deal?What's more, you are just a countryman who is not even a relative?This girl doesn't care about the threat of sweet-scented osmanthus, who is afraid of whom.
