Chapter 368: Harvesting Wheat 1
Chapter 368: Harvesting Wheat 1
After noon, a sign saying "Sale Today" was hung on the door of Wen Ji Luzhu shop in the town.
In fact, people who come to buy things these days all come with one or two large bowls.
Gu Qingqing and Luo Meihua did not come for lunch. Now they hung up the sign and prepared to return to the village. They went directly to the next door and bought more than 30 meat buns, 10 of which were individually packed.
There was so much food that the two adults and two children definitely couldn't finish it. Gu Qingqing planned to go to the fields to add more food for Wen Wuyan and the others after she returned.
The two children were very well behaved today. After arriving in town, Luo Meihua let the two siblings play in the small backyard. They went to Gu Qingqing's chopping board to get some rice-sized braised chicken crumbs and played "ants moving house" in the backyard for the whole morning.
"Which field did your family harvest today?" Gu Qingqing asked Luo Meihua when they were almost at the village.
"From the west of the village." Luo Meihua answered.
"Then you can get off the car at the intersection ahead and go directly to the fields to help. Don't worry about the things in the car. I'll ask Wu Fang or Zhou Qin to help me when I get back." After saying this, Gu Qingqing looked back at the sleeping child in the car, and whispered to her, "I'll take the child home later, you just take care of your own things."
Luo Meihua was worried about the farm, and she was also worried about cleaning the pig offal, which was her job. She was busy on both sides, and she was very worried. After listening to Gu Qingqing's words, she did not refuse too much, "Sister-in-law, I'll trouble you for the next two days. I'll leave the child to you today. I'll go to the farm to take a look."
"There's no need for us to say such things. Just go ahead. Here, take this bag of buns to your uncle and aunt. They are working. Take it to them to fill their stomachs."
"I was wondering why you bought so many buns. You could take more back with your family. You've already done me a great favor by helping me take care of my two children." Luo Meihua refused to take the buns she handed over.
"I have some at home, and no one should be short of them. Take them quickly. If we argue loudly here, we will wake up the children. Take them. I'm going home." Gu Qingqing said as she forced the buns into her hands.
Luo Meihua held the buns in her hands and watched Gu Qingqing drive the donkey cart with the child a few steps away. Then she quickly walked towards the fields in the west of the village.
.......
When Gu Qingqing returned home, only the three sisters were at home. Dahua immediately surrounded her mother when she saw her mother coming back, and then she saw Xiaoyang and Xiaoguang sleeping in the car, "Mom, I'll hold the reins, you carry them to our room to sleep first."
"Mom, you're back!"
"Mother, mother... hold me..."
Gu Qingqing held Xiaoyang in her arms and whispered to Sanhua, "Mom can't hold you right now, go play with your sister."
Before she could take two steps, she turned to Erhua and said, "Go to the hillside and see if Aunt Wu Fang and Aunt Zhao Qin are there. If they are, tell them I'm looking for them. Also, tell Aunt Yang Xing to kill three chickens and two ducks today."
"I got it, Mom. Dahei, come with me." Erhua ran by herself and tried to call Dahei. Dahei, unaware of the situation, followed her and ran out the door.
As a result, when he saw the little master running towards the hillside, he stopped with his dog face, twisted his waist and kicked his legs, and ran back to the yard quickly.
Hiding against the wall.
Today she brought back six sets of submarines and two pig heads. She had to go to the fields later. She didn't have time at all, so she asked Erhua to get help. Ask them to help.
The key is that they both know how to make it. Last year, when they went to Jiangping Town to sell braised food, they made their own portions.
only......
Gu Qingqing apologized to the two people who came over, "Please help me deal with it first. I have to drive the donkey cart to the field."
"Just go, we are at home, these are all small matters." Wu Fang smiled brightly at Gu Qingqing.
Then Gu Qingqing gave Dahua some more instructions, which was simply to ask Dahua to look after Xiaoyang and Xiaoguang when they woke up and not let the two children run away.
"Mom, when will you come back? What are you cooking for dinner?" Dahua asked as she watched her mother walk out with a basin of wheat bran water.
"What did Grandpa Yang make for your father and the others at noon?"
"Grandpa Yang brought some white rice to Dad and the others, and then we had white rice porridge."
hiss!
"Don't you guys eat rice at home?"
"No, grandpa said we didn't do any work at home, so we can just eat porridge." Dahua answered truthfully.
Hiss, this old man is saving food for her, Gu Qingqing sighed in her heart.
At this time, Dahua cried out "Ouch!", and with a look of self-blame on her face, she looked up at Gu Qingqing and said, "Mom, I forgot. Grandpa Yang left some rice soup in the basin, saying it would be a pity to throw it away, so he asked the donkey to come back and give it to it. I forgot."
Gu Qingqing gave Dahua a reassuring look and said, "It's okay. I was just worried that the donkey in the basin wouldn't be able to drink enough. I'll feed it some water later."
"I'll go." Dahua didn't give Gu Qingqing a chance to go back and get it, and ran back by herself.
After a while, a large bowl of rice soup was brought in and poured into the basin in Gu Qingqing's hand, and the donkey drank it together.
Seeing the donkey gulping down its drink happily, Gu Qingqing asked again, "Are there any offal left at home?"
Dahua shook her head. "Not long ago, a young girl from the village came over. I gave her the only brine in the pot. Then I saw there were still two spoonfuls of soup in the pot, so I decided to give it to her."
.......
When Gu Qingqing drove the donkey cart to the field, the sun had already set, and people could be seen working in the wheat fields near and far.
It’s true that three strong men work fast. By now, they can harvest at least two-fifths of the five acres of wheat.
The wheat stubble in the field was half the height of an adult's hand. Li Xin was in front, using his feet to push the wheat stalks on the ground into piles, while Old Yang was behind, using the straw as ropes to tie the wheat into bundles.
Gu Qingqing looked at them and sighed, they are all a group of lovely people.
"Uncle Yang, Daxin, come here and have a drink of water." Gu Qingqing shouted at them.
Seeing that they were still bent over with their heads down, busy with their own things, Gu Qingqing suspected that they didn't hear it.
"Brother Dong..."
Wang Wang Wang ~
Gu Qingqing was so angry that she just called out Zhao Dong's name, but was interrupted by Dahei again.
Then I saw Dahei running towards the field happily.
It was not until this time that the people who were busy working seemed to see her standing at the edge of the field.
Gu Qingqing waved at them. Seeing that they were all coming towards her, she spread out the bowls she had brought from home, then picked up the cans in the car and poured water into the bowls.
Seeing Li Xin who arrived earlier, she smiled and greeted him, "Come and wash your hands and take a rest. I brought you some meat buns."
"Aunt, why are you here?" Li Xin asked with starry eyes, looking at the little face that was sunburned red.
