Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 10665

Blacksmith Luo and Yang Ruoqing each held a large dinner plate, which was divided into four areas.

The largest area is used for rice, and a few pieces of steamed sweet potatoes.

The other three areas are fried chicken with green and red peppers, braised pork with potatoes, and spicy and sour glutinous rice with bamboo shoots.

In addition to these, there is a large wooden bucket half a person's height in the corner of the canteen. The bucket contains loofah and egg drop soup today.

If you want to drink this soup, you can go over and scoop it up anytime.

"Godfather, godmother, can you eat enough?" Hong Xiu asked with concern.

They are girls. Even if they train every day which is physical work, their appetites are only so big.

I'm just afraid that my godfather and godmother won't have enough to eat.

Blacksmith Luo smiled and said: "It's enough to eat, don't worry!"

Wang Cuilian also smiled and said: "I will definitely be full. Look, my dinner plate is full of big chicken nuggets."

Yang Ruoqing said: "If you are not full, go and drink soup until you are full."

Tuan Tuan Yuan said nothing, because the two little guys couldn't wait to eat.

"Is this chicken delicious?" Yang Ruoqing asked them both.

The two little heads nodded like chickens pecking at rice.

Yang Ruoqing was happy and told Luo Baobao: "Go and call the cook and her daughter over."

"Okay." Luo Baobao snapped his fingers, and soon, a mother and daughter wearing aprons came over.

The woman is not very old, probably about the same age as Yang Huamei.

My daughter is about the same age as Xiu Hong.

Yang Ruoqing guessed that this was not the woman's first child. Sure enough, after the mother and daughter greeted Yang Ruoqing and others, Wang Cuilian asked about the situation in her hometown with concern.

Sure enough, the woman's hometown was like Mo's hometown, which suffered from drought this year and had no harvest.

The whole family fled, and the woman's husband died, leaving the woman with three children.

The girl next to her is the second eldest child in her family. The woman also has a son who is fifteen or sixteen years old, and another son who is eight or nine years old.

The husband's family favored sons over daughters. When they fled, they said they split up and took the two grandsons with them, leaving the woman and daughter behind.

The mother and daughter heard that their husband's family had come to Changhuaizhou, so they also chased after them. They had been out for two months, but they still could not find their husband's family. They were so hungry that they fainted from hunger on the roadside at the foot of Mianniu Mountain. passed.

Fortunately, Hongxiu brought the female soldiers back from shooting training in the mountains and forests, and brought the mother and daughter back to the camp, giving them a place to stay for the time being.

Wang Cuilian felt heartbroken after hearing what happened to the mother and daughter.

For a kind-hearted person like her, she is born with a soft heart. When she sees her compatriots suffering, she can't help but sympathize.

Therefore, a person with her personality is really not suitable to be a superior person or a Bodhisattva.

Blacksmith Luo was also moved when he heard this, and had no other choice but to sigh.

Yang Ruoqing was more direct and practical. She directly took out a hanging copper plate and rewarded it to the woman's daughter.

There were nearly 500 copper coins. The little girl was holding it in both hands, and it was heavy.

The shock and joy it brought to the mother and daughter were much heavier than this hanging copper plate.

Because mother and daughter have never seen or touched so much money!

But they don’t dare to ask for it!

So Yang Ruoqing said: "The food you cooked today is very good. We ate very happily and enjoyed it very much. This is a reward for you, you can accept it."

The woman said: "Thanks to Miss Luo and Miss Hongxiu for their kindness in taking us mother and daughter in, giving us a place to stay, and also providing us with food, drink and clothing. We are so grateful that it is too late and we don't know how to repay.

How can I still receive reward from you, madam, for cooking this meal? It’s absolutely impossible! "

Yang Ruoqing shook her head with a smile and glanced at Baobao Luo next to her. Baby Luo stood up with a smile, came to the mother and daughter, and stuffed the coins into the girl's pocket.

"Collect it, you can't refuse the reward. If you don't refuse, you won't give me face. Are you going to deny my mother face? That means you won't give me face. Think clearly!"

The mother and daughter looked at each other, then knelt down and kowtowed to Yang Ruoqing and Wang Cuilian to thank them, before carefully retreating with the coins in their hands.

With these copper coins, they will have the money to go back when the famine is over. This is great. The Luo family is really a good and noble family...

After lunch, everyone played in the camp for a while in the afternoon. When the sun was about to set, Yang Ruoqing and her family set off down the mountain to go home.

On the way back, Tuantuan looked at the direction of the camp that was getting farther and farther behind him, and said with a smile: "It would be great if I could come to my sister's place to play every day."

Yang Ruoqing rubbed Tuantuan's little head, "Do you think this is just for fun? We came here to play for a day and delayed my sister, do you know?"

Tuantuan seems to understand but not understand.

But the reluctance is real.

Yang Ruoqing added: "Let's come over to play again next time."

"Mom, pull the hook!"

"Okay, pull the hook."

When the family passed a reservoir at the foot of the mountain, they saw lotus flowers covering a corner of the reservoir.

Tuantuan and Yuanyuan were immediately attracted, and the two little guys clamored to pick lotus flowers.

Yang Ruoqing stopped them.

"There are lotus flowers and lotus pods in our fish pond. Don't pick them from the reservoir."

The water in the reservoir is too deep and the coolness is different from the ponds at the foot of the mountain.

The reservoir is at the foot of the mountain, and it is bottomless. There have been all kinds of mysterious rumors about the reservoir in the villages in Shiliba Village over the years.

People with the best water quality in the ten miles and eight villages came to this reservoir to swim. After returning, they all said that something was wrong with the reservoir, but they couldn't tell what was wrong.

One thing that is certain is that almost every summer, several lives are lost in this reservoir.

Even though the leaders of several villages have nailed wooden signs at different corners of the reservoir to warn the villagers, parents from each family have also taught their children not to come here for paddling.

However, many things cannot always be prevented...

"The lotus flowers here are more beautiful. The flower plates are so big and the lotus pods are so big!" Tuantuan said while stretching out his arms and gesticulating.

Yuanyuan's eyes were straightened by the sight.

Even Wang Cuilian and Luo Tiejiang were attracted by the grand scene of the heavenly lotus leaves.

Wang Cuilian said: "Is the water quality of this reservoir more nourishing? I looked at these lotus flowers and lotus pods, and they are indeed more lush than those in the ponds in front and behind our village."

"However, the water here is too deep, and there is no place to focus on, making it difficult to pick..."

"Grandpa can do it!"

"Grandpa!"

Although Blacksmith Luo also knew that the reservoir was dangerous, facing the expectant gazes of his two precious grandsons, especially those who said "grandpa" one after another, Blacksmith Luo was a little lost.

"Okay, okay, grandpa will help you pick it!"

Blacksmith Luo was about to get out of the car, but Yang Ruoqing stopped him directly.
