Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11440

Small four-bedroom apartment.

Liu Jinchuan was hurriedly cooking dinner in the kitchen. There were two soybean oil lamps lit in the kitchen, and the light was dim.

When cutting vegetables or pounding garlic, you have to be very careful, otherwise you might cut your fingers if you are not careful.

Liu Jinchuan would take care of the stove for a while, and then take the time to put some firewood into the stove. She was busy on both ends and had no time to rest.

Whether it was the sizzling oil in the pot or the dying fire in the stove, they were urging her to do something. Everything depended on her hands.

She was so busy that afterimages appeared all over her body, but she couldn't stop.

Today, we all dressed up and went to the town to present the full-moon gift and have a banquet. It was supposed to be a happy event, but due to some unexpected situations, the banquet was only halfway through, and the time to return to the village was seriously delayed.

When I got home, it was already dark. I should have cooked dinner as soon as I got home.

But the child Liangliang had diarrhea, so Liu Jinchuan was busy washing Liangliang. After washing, the child was hungry again, so Liu Jinchuan fed Liangliang. After he was full, she took him to bed to sleep.

During this process, Kang Xiaozi was not idle either. The water tank was empty and the firewood was gone, so he first chopped wood and then went to fetch water.

After Liu Jinchuan settled Liangliang, she found her father-in-law Yang Huaming, who was squatting in the yard smoking a pipe, and begged him to go to her room and sit and look after Liangliang. After all, Liangliang had gone out today, and there were many people and noises outside. The child's little eyes saw many strangers, and his little ears heard many noises. When he was feeding and sleeping in Liu Jinchuan's arms, the child would suddenly kick his feet and wave his hands from time to time, waking up several times.

Liu Jinchuan had to leave an adult to accompany Liangliang. Fortunately, as soon as she spoke to Yang Huaming, Yang Huaming decisively put away his pipe, stood up and went to keep his eldest grandson company.

Liu Jinchuan rushed into the kitchen to cook dinner.

Not to mention that they didn't have enough to eat at the lunch banquet, just take the mother-in-law Liu, who was still imprisoned in the west room of the old house. She probably only had a bowl of porridge in the morning. She must have died of hunger a long time ago, right?

I have to cook quickly, quickly!

At this time, Kang Xiaozi also entered the kitchen carrying the last load of water. He poured the water in the two buckets into the water tank. The water tank was now completely filled up and could support the family's food and drinking water for three days.

He was exhausted since he came back. He put down the empty bucket and sat on the small stool at the stove, rubbing his waist and gasping for breath.

Seeing him like this, Liu Jinchuan's eyes were filled with pity, and she said, "Is your waist starting to ache again? Go lie down on the bed for a while, and I'll call you when dinner is ready."

Kang Xiaozi shook his head and said, "It's okay, I'll be fine after sitting for a while."

He grabbed the firewood next to him and helped Liu Jinchuan to make a fire.

This old-fashioned farmhouse wood-burning stove has many uses. While it takes time to cook a meal, the pig food in the clay pot in front of the pot is cooked, and the hot water in the clay pot on the side is also ready. Dishes and rice are all cooked in one pot. However, the disadvantage is that it requires a second person to help tend the stove. If you rely on one person to take care of both the top and bottom of the pot, it will be very hectic.

At this moment, with the addition of Kang Xiaozi, Liu Jinchuan was no longer so busy and only needed to concentrate on taking care of things here.

"There's some leftovers from last night. I'll make fried rice and eggs later."

"I just happened to pack a big basket of corn and pork dumplings for lunch, so it's a good time to get together."

"Hehe," Kang Xiaozi watched Liu Jinchuan unpacking the food that she had packed for lunch, and narrowed his eyes with a mischievous smile in his eyes: "When the sisters-in-law packed food for lunch, they asked you to take a few things, but you were so shy that you couldn't move. Now look, you've brought it back. Isn't it delicious?"

Liu Jinchuan's cheeks were slightly red, her eyes were bright, she glared at Kang Xiaozi, and her speech speed was as fast as her hands' movements: "What do you mean by being shy? Am I not embarrassed because I am thin-skinned?" "I eat and take things, I am afraid people will laugh at me."

Kang put his arms behind his head, leaned back against the pile of firewood, laughed and said, "Why should I be embarrassed? The food and wine are already on the table. If we don't eat them and leave them there, my second brother and his restaurant can't take them back and serve them to other guests!"

"Instead of wasting good stuff by dumping it into the swill bucket, why not pack it up and bring it back so we can make do with it at night!"

While he was saying these words, Liu Jinchuan had already deftly opened the other two take-out food boxes besides the steamed dumplings.

One was pickled mustard greens, and the other was braised pork elbow.

"I'll heat up a pot of wine later. There's a lot of pig intestines in it. You can drink a couple of cups with your father-in-law." Liu Jinchuan said.

Kang Xiaozi nodded happily, "I haven't touched the pork elbow much, you should eat more pork elbow, Xia Nai, if you eat it, Liang Liang will also enjoy it."

When the word "Xianai" was mentioned, Liu Jinchuan's cheeks became hot. She had no idea what was going on in her mind. She uttered a light "hmm", as if a mosquito was nibbling at her, and then lowered her head.

Kang Xiaozi looked at her like this, and seemed to understand something. His throat suddenly felt dry. Although his waist was still very sore, he was still distracted. In this dim little kitchen, the atmosphere gradually became a little different...

"Cough cough!"

A dry cough suddenly sounded at the kitchen door, instantly breaking the ambiguous atmosphere in the small kitchen.

"Father-in-law, what's wrong? Has Liangliang woken up?" Liu Jinchuan stopped spatula and turned to ask.

Yang Huaming shook his head. "No, the little thing is sleeping soundly!"

"Oh, that's good." Liu Jinchuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Mothers all know this well. After finally coaxing their babies to sleep, they hope that the babies can have a good sleep for a while so that they can free up some time to do housework.

What I fear most is that I am halfway through doing housework when the baby wakes up, and I have to put down the work to take care of the baby. I am so busy and confused that I can't do either job well.

Kang Xiaozi also stood up and said, "Dad, why don't you stay in that room with your eldest grandson? Why don't you come to the kitchen? Do you have any instructions?"

Yang Huaming glanced at the two of them, especially when his eyes fell on the dish that Liu Jinchuan was serving, he hesitated, hesitantly, and stammered: "I, I didn't, it was nothing, I just... just took a look to see if the meal was ready."

"Dad, it's almost done. I'll just fry the fried rice and we can eat." Liu Jinchuan said with a smile, her hands moving more quickly.

Yang Huaming nodded, but stood at the kitchen door without leaving.

"Dad, is there anything else?" Kang boy was puzzled. He didn't know why his father was so hesitant.

Liu Jinchuan was smart and understood everything after just one glance.

"By the way, Dad, the dumplings are ready. Why don't you take some time to go and send some to Mom? She's been hungry all day..."

Yang Huaming raised his head suddenly. "Okay..." Just as he said this, his expression suddenly froze. He deliberately frowned and put his hands behind his back. "What are you sending me? I won't die from starvation for four or five meals. I only have these steamed dumplings. Leave them for my eldest grandson!"
