Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 6000 Not allowed to go to the pond

"Invite the fourth uncle, and it's not justified if you don't underestimate the others. Let's forget it tonight. Unless the fourth uncle comes over by himself and catches up, invite him. Otherwise, invite another time, and invite everyone else who should be invited to join together." Son."

Sun thought about it, and felt that what Yang Ruoqing said was reasonable.

I am in a hurry tonight, and the only meat dishes are chicken and bacon. It is enough for a few people in the family to talk while eating. On a hot night, it is inconvenient if there are too many people.

"I'll discuss it with your father later, buy some food and drinks tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and invite relatives from both sides of our family to have a meal together. Last time, the big guys also worried about Xiaoan and Qingsong. , I have never had time to thank you."

Yang Ruoqing did not object to Sun's proposal.

There are only a few aspects for the farmers to deepen their emotional bonds: congratulations on red events, consolation on white events, visits when they are sick, and help when farming is busy.

And when all these things are going on, there is one thing that is closely related to all these things and cannot be separated.

That is to entertain relatives and friends with delicious dishes and meals, and everyone sits down to have a reunion dinner together.

Food is the most important thing in the name, and delicious dishes bring people happiness. The big guys sit around the table, eat, drink, talk and laugh, and the relationship is maintained and deepened in this way.

This is the happiness of the common people, simple and real.

The mother and daughter reached an agreement, and discussed the specific dishes to be cooked at night. After they were done, they divided the labor and cooperated.

Luo Baobao had heard about Xiaoan's return a long time ago. The girl originally practiced calligraphy with Tuobaxian. After practice, she put down her brush and rushed out to find her favorite little uncle.

She has recently practiced a new set of boxing techniques, so she wants to show off to her little uncle.

The little uncle was not at home, and went to the threshing ground at the south end of the village. Luo Baobao, a chasing girl, rushed to the threshing ground like the wind to find her little uncle...

When the food was almost cooked, Yang Huazhong, Xiaoan and the others came back.

At this time, Yang Ruoqing was sweeping the yard. The bluestone slabs in the yard were swept clean, and well water was also sprinkled on it to cool down.

The two of them came in together, both of them were covered with dust, with rice husks and debris of plants stuck to their bodies.

"Ah, Xiao An is helping our father raise the rice?"

Yang Ruoqing asked with a smile, and quickly handed over two clean handkerchiefs: "Come on, wipe it off."

Xiao An waved her hand: "Sister, don't rush to wipe it off, I will go to the pond with Dad to take a bath later, and my whole body will be clear."

"Well, that's fine, then I'll ask my mother to prepare clean clothes for you."

Yang Ruoqing took two steps and suddenly turned around again: "By the way, the baby said to look for you at the threshing ground earlier, did you go?"

Xiaoan nodded: "Going, we came back together, my father and I raised the rice, and she helped sweep the rice, we were afraid that she would get itchy with rice husks on her body, but we couldn't stop it, so I went back to take a bath now Alright, let me tell you this, sister."

So that's what happened, Yang Ruoqing smiled: "She just likes to cling to you, it doesn't matter if it's fist fighting or working, that's just her temper."

Xiao An grinned, her eyes were soft, "She told me earlier that we agreed to practice boxing together tomorrow morning."

"Ha, isn't she happy?"

"Well, I'm so happy, I can't stop talking all the way."

Yang Ruoqing could imagine that scene, so she also covered her mouth and left with a smile.

Mrs. Sun quickly found two sets of clean clothes and handed them to Yang Huazhong and Xiao An, "Would you be surprised to dive into the pond with your sweaty heads and hot bodies?"

Xiao An said: "Don't worry, mother, I always bathe like this in the Ministry of War. The backyard of our Ministry of War is the river. Every summer we plunge into the river to take a bath. Qingsong and I have the best water quality..."

Habitually, he talked about his friend He Qingsong, and Xiao An's face changed slightly after he had finished speaking.

Sun's smile also froze, and she looked at Xiao An worriedly, for fear that he would be as silent as when he came home last time.

Fortunately, after this period of 'healing', I went to He Qingsong's hometown and resettled the He family, and Xiaoan's knot in his heart was untied.

"Mom, Dad and I are going to take a shower first, and we'll be back in a while."

He took the clothes, turned around and walked towards the gate of the yard with a normal expression.

Sun was still a little worried, followed a few steps, Yang Huazhong turned his head and waved to her: "Don't worry, I'll be watching, if you have time, just wipe the cool bed, our family will sit in the yard at night to enjoy the cool."

"Hey, okay, I'm going to wipe it now."

After the father and son left, Mrs. Sun not only cleaned the cool bed, but also cleaned two bamboo chairs.

Together with Yang Ruoqing, they moved the summer bed and bamboo chairs to the open space in the yard, and lit moxa sticks to repel mosquitoes on the edge of the summer bed and the four corners of the dining table at home.

Moxa sticks are made of aged wormwood after drying, and it is also mixed with calamus. When the two are mixed together, the smoke produced after being ignited and burned is the killer of mosquitoes, snakes and rats.

Luo Baobao came over clean and refreshed.

"Mother, why did my uncle disappear when he turned his back? Is he a loach?"

Luo Baobao couldn't find Xiaoan again, so he complained to Yang Ruoqing a little unhappy.

Yang Ruoqing was busy turning over the potatoes and roast chicken in the pot, and said to Luo Baobao who was standing at the door of the stove without looking back: "Your uncle and Duke Ga went to take a bath by the pond and will be back in a while, you go to the front yard Wait a minute, the oily smoke is heavy here."

"No, I'm going to wait at the pond, I want to watch my uncle paddling!"

Before Yang Ruoqing came out to stop her, the chasing girl ran away like a gust of wind.

Why is this child still acting like a child after being such a big girl?

"She'll stick to her brother-in-law, so you can pick her up there." Sun said with a smile.

He looked at the sky outside again, "Fortunately, it's not completely dark yet. Everyone just came back from work at this moment. There should be a lot of people taking a bath by the pond, and it's quite lively."

Yang Ruoqing couldn't laugh or cry, because there were too many men bathing by the pond, I didn't want her to go.

The men and boys of the farmer's family basically take a bath in the pond on a hot day like this.

Some men are a little more reserved, and even use a bath kerchief to cover their embarrassment when they come out of the shower.

And some rough guys don't have so many scruples, and don't want to show their image. After taking a shower, they go ashore, all wet, with sinus pants stuck to their bodies, showing their true colors.

Especially the swaying ones while walking are really eye-catching.

Some men are even more exaggerated. The sinus pants have a lot of holes, and they are wet, just like the crotch pants worn by Japanese sumo wrestlers.

So Yang Ruoqing usually wouldn't go to the pond to wash at this hour, and she wouldn't allow Luo Baobao to go there either.

But these reasons should not make sense to Mrs. Sun.

Because Sun's thinking has already formed a fixed thinking pattern, like countless women in the village, he thinks this is natural and justified, and it is not a big offense.

At most, the young daughters-in-law and older girls are embarrassed to look at it, so they just turn their faces away.

"Mother, you can take care of the next thing about setting the dishes. I don't worry about it when it gets dark. I have to go and catch that girl!"

After much deliberation, Yang Ruoqing tore off her apron and rushed out of the kitchen.
