The corner of Su Xue's mouth twitched.

Her aunt really thinks highly of He Qingdong!But having said that, He Qingdong's brain seems to be quite flexible?Otherwise, he wouldn't have abducted himself?
Thinking of this, Su Xue couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled secretly.

Zhao Hong touched her with her elbow, Su Xue raised her head, and met Zhao Hong's teasing eyes again.

Su Xue: ...

so awkward!
"Auntie, is the rice ready? I smell good." If you're embarrassed, just change the subject!Su Xue made up her mind and changed the topic to the glutinous rice steaming on the pot.

There is a custom of eating glutinous rice cakes on the upper beams of the new houses in the village. These glutinous rice were bought by Su Xue and the people in the village.Originally, Zhang Meihua said that her family still had a few catties of glutinous rice, and Zhao Hong also said that her family had a few catties. If the two families got together, Su Xue could just buy less.

But Su Xue felt that buying one catty was also buying, and buying ten catties was also buying.Since they can buy them, they can't always take advantage of Zhang Meihua and Zhao Hong.Even if they say that new rice is coming soon, the glutinous rice from last year is worthless.

They treated her well, but Su Xue couldn't take it for granted.

Zhang Meihua couldn't resist her, so she could only compromise, and followed Su Xue to go door-to-door asking who sold glutinous rice...

After several hours of steaming and cooking, the glutinous rice in the pot is finally ready.

Zhao Hong and Su Xue spread the cleaned banana leaves in the big dustpan, and then Zhang Meihua and Zhao Hong lifted the steamer off the pot, turned the steamer upside down, patted the wooden steamer around hard, and then The steamer is ready to pick up.

Because the steamer is also lined with banana leaves, the steamed glutinous rice does not stick to the wood.

"Xiaoxue, come and taste it." Zhang Meihua pinched an egg-sized glutinous rice to Su Xue, and Su Xue took it with both hands, put it in her mouth and took a bite, it was delicious.

Zhang Meihua pinched another ball for Zhao Hong, and she took a small bite herself, just to make sure the taste of the meal this time, and then she didn't eat it.

After the glutinous rice had completely cooled down, Zhang Meihua put them into a big wooden bucket, covered it with a clean cloth, and greeted Zhao Hong and Su Xue.

"Come on, let's go make glutinous rice cakes."

To make glutinous rice cakes, you must smash the cooked glutinous rice.There is a lot of glutinous rice steamed from the twenty catties of glutinous rice. It is a relatively large project to mash all of them into mud, but fortunately, there is a big stone pound at the mill in the village. That's about it.

When Su Xue was a child, she had seen people using a pound to pound rice noodles at her grandparents' house, but she had never done it herself.

One is that her grandparents don't allow it, and the other is that she has no chance to touch this thing with her elder brother and second brother around.

Now under the leadership of Zhang Meihua, she is eager to try the clean stone nest (stone mortar).

Zhao Hong pulled her aside and said with a smile: "Stepping on this is a technical job. It requires not only strength but also rhythm. You watch from the side, and I will show you."

As she said that, she pulled Su Xue away and watched Zhang Meihua put the glutinous rice in. She stepped on the log with one foot and put one foot on the ground for strength.

This stepping on the pound is really a technical job, and it seems very simple to know how to do it, it's just a matter of moving your feet.But no, for example, for a weak person like Su Xue, it would be very difficult to step on the pound.

Especially the sticky glutinous rice was still in the stone mortar nest, and the glutinous rice that was about to be pounded into mud stuck to the stone mortar in front.That stickiness is not something Su Xue can touch at all.

No, she saw that Zhao Hong's forehead was sweating, so she asked Zhao Hong to come down to rest and she went up to step on it.

As a result, um, the log and the stone pestle in front of it did not move at all.As if laughing at Su Xue, a weakling, don't overestimate yourself.

Su Xue: ...

So angry!

She rolled up her sleeves, gritted her teeth, and stood up on both feet.

I don't believe that I can't step on a piece of wood in this area...

It turned out that she really couldn't step on it.

Zhao Hong and Zhang Meihua, who was squatting in front to add water to the pound, held back their laughter, and Su Xue also planned to pretend nothing happened.But the idea in her heart hadn't settled yet, and a hahahaha unscrupulous laughter sounded from the side.

Su Xue looked for the sound.

He Xiaojun, whom he hadn't seen for several days, was lying on the wall beside him, laughing very loudly.Beside him is Sun Lihong.But Sun Lihong looked puzzled and didn't laugh.

But He Xiaojun's smile, one can be worth several.

"Hahahahaha, the ghost can't step on the hammer hahaha..."

Su Xue:! ! !
This little fat man, even if it is his future brother-in-law, I really want to beat him up, what's the matter?She glanced at the glutinous rice on the side, slightly raised her eyebrows and said to He Xiaojun: "So you are very good?"

"I am very sure of that."

"Then why don't you try?" Su Xue asked again?
"Hmph, just try it, see my master."

When He Xiaojun spoke, he habitually wanted to slap his chest, but he forgot that he was still lying on top of the wall, holding the earthen wall with both hands, and when he let go and slapped his chest, he would naturally fall down.

"Little Army..."

Fortunately, Sun Lihong on the other side had quick eyesight, quick hands and great strength, so she lifted He Xiaojun up with one hand and stabilized his body.He Xiaojun sighed, "Thank you, Sister Lihong."

Although the wall they climbed up was not high from the ground, if they fell down, they would inevitably fall into the ass. This would be very detrimental to He Xiaojun's image, so he resolutely refused to do it.

He Xiaojun, who had recovered from the almost embarrassment, pulled Sun Lihong's hand down from the wall, and walked around to Su Xue and the others inside the mill.

"Let the young master come."

He Xiaojun made a gesture to push Su Xue away, as if he was really a big deal person?The corner of Su Xue's mouth twitched, she didn't have the same experience as this little fat man who likes to pretend to be an adult.

She turned her head and asked Sun Lihong if she wanted to eat glutinous rice.

Since Sun Lihong fell into the river last time, Su Xue learned something about Sun Lihong, and she feels sorry for this girl whose intelligence is still like a child.

(Cough, cough, although Sun Lihong is more than a year older than Su Xue, after all, she has the same IQ as a child, and she is not married, so it is appropriate to call her a girl.)
Sun Lihong glanced at the glutinous rice on the side, then shook her head.

"Grandma said, make glutinous rice cakes, don't eat them."

"Huh?" Su Xue was a little confused: "Grandma? Is it Grandma He? She told you not to eat this glutinous rice?" Sun Lihong's grandpa and grandma passed away early in the morning, and Sun Lihong only lived with He in the village. We have a good relationship.

So the grandma she was talking about could only be Mrs. He after a little thought.

Su Xue thinks about it again, although not everyone in the village knows about their family's beam tomorrow, but the few families who are close to her must know about it.The old lady couldn't come here in person to avoid suspicion, so she asked He Xiaojun and Sun Lihong to come and see?
She raised her eyes and glanced at He Xiaojun who was stepping on the log effortlessly, and had a guess in her mind.

"Xiaojun, grandma asked you to help, right?"
