Age: My Small World

Chapter 79 Big Pot Rice

Meal times have changed.

Before, everyone would eat breakfast before going out to work, but now they go to the fields to work for two hours before coming back to have breakfast.

But it also saves you the time of cooking, as someone else will take care of the arrangements and you just have to wait to eat.

back home.

"Baby, at least we made it in time. Let's go eat together."

I didn't even bother to welcome him in, and I took Yang Jun and rushed to the grain field with my bowl in hand.

The two sisters walked in front, talking and laughing, and were quite curious about eating from a big pot.

Since we now have three meals a day, and we ate from a big pot on the first day, dinner was not served until after six o'clock. If we get familiar with the process in the future, dinner may be served at around five o'clock. If we want to come back and have something hot, I'm afraid I'll have to ask my mother to prepare it in advance, otherwise there will only be leftovers.

When the family arrived at the grain field, it was already crowded with people, all crowded together and queuing up to get their meals.

Yang Jun took the bowl his mother had brought him and asked quietly, "Mom, didn't you go over to the women's team and help with the cooking?"

"If you get a chance, talk to Aunt Qi. Helping with cooking is always better than doing other chores."

Li Xiaohua also understood what he meant. Knowing that her son was afraid of being assigned to do heavy work, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Son, Mommy is going to feed the livestock. It's not a heavy job, just collecting pig grass on a daily basis."

Yang Jun was a little surprised that the village had arranged the work so quickly.

"By the way, your seventh uncle said that even though you can go to school, the village still has some tasks for you, so he asked you to go find him later."

When Li Xiaohua said this, she couldn't help but frown, fearing that Fan Xinhe would assign too much work to her son. Studying is so important, how could he have time to work?

It was only today that Uncle Fan Qi assured her for a long time that he would not interfere with the child's studies that she stopped nagging. Otherwise, she would not be able to eat in peace.

After all, I have protected Yang Jun for too long and have become accustomed to spoiling him. I can't bear to see him busy in the fields.

"Mom, Uncle Qi will definitely take care of me, a high school student, don't worry." Yang Jun could see that his mother was worried and comforted her.

"That's right. You are the only one with high education in our village."

Speaking of this, Li Xiaohua's pride was beyond words, and she excluded Xiao Yuer by the way.

Yang Jun smiled helplessly, but seeing that his mother was happy, he didn't say much.

At this time, the second sister turned around and smiled at him: "Xiaoshan, what did you eat for lunch at school? We had meat today."

Thinking of the lunch, Yang Yumei couldn't help swallowing.

The village's cooking method was really too extravagant. They had just slaughtered a pig today, so they made a big pot of meat and vegetables. Everyone ate until their mouths were full of oil, and they were full of energy to work in the afternoon.

So she was a little curious about what her brother and his friends would eat at school. If not, they could come back to eat.

My mother also looked over, a little concerned about whether he had eaten enough lunch.

"Mom, Second Sister, we also eat meat at school, so the meals should be similar."

"That's good. Eat more meat if you can. You're still growing." Li Xiaohua glanced at him and was suddenly stunned. Unconsciously, her son seemed to be much stronger than before, with more flesh on his face. He was no longer skinny.

"Mom, come quickly, it's our turn." The second sister's voice brought my mother's attention back to the front.

The person in charge of serving the food was the women's team leader Yao Taohua, who was supervising the process, and then Uncle Yuanlin's third aunt served the dishes.

"Jun's mom, today's meal is very rich, eat more, if it's not enough, come over and I'll give you more."

When it was Li Xiaohua's turn, Aunt San was even more enthusiastic. After all, they had been neighbors for decades, so their relationship should be better.

I didn’t have time to chat, after all, there were a bunch of people behind me, so I could only say thank you.

Yang Jun took a look and saw that the steamer was filled with white rice, almost as much as he could make. The main course was a pancake with green onions on the side, which was also very delicious when rolled up. However, Yang Jun couldn't experience it, so he just kept eating the rice.

As for the dishes, the big pot contained cabbage, vermicelli and tofu stewed with meat. The amount of meat was large, almost taking up half of the pot.

This is not the end, there is another pot of meatballs with the aroma of bacon.

The remaining dishes are pickled vegetables and radishes, which can relieve the greasiness.

There is no corn porridge or wild vegetable steamed buns today, which are all fine grains that are rarely eaten on weekdays.

It can be said that this meal is comparable to previous Chinese New Year celebrations.

Everyone also showed a different mental outlook. After experiencing the benefits of the production team, there were no more complaints or nagging. The men who were assigned heavy physical work ate meat with big mouthfuls and didn't feel anything was wrong after working a day.

With a bright future right before their eyes, everyone immediately began to actively maintain the production team's system, and the previous hard days seemed to have disappeared.

After eating, everyone found a place to sit down in the threshing ground and ate quietly.

Yang Jun took the bowl of rice to the side. There was rice at the bottom of the bowl and four meatballs and a full bowl of stewed cabbage and meat on top. The fat pieces of pork were stewed until they were mushy and not greasy at all. When he took a bite, the aroma rushed straight to his head.

I don’t know who made the pickles, but they taste better than the ones I make at home.

Yes, everyone took out the pickles, and there was almost nothing to eat at home.

Halfway through his meal, a figure appeared beside him. Could it be Xiao Yuer or someone else?

"Brother Xiaoshan, I've got a lot of meat. Do you want more?"

The little girl didn't care about the dirt on the stone slab and sat down directly.

Yang Jun shook his head: "I've had enough, you should eat quickly, otherwise if you want more later it will be gone."

"Hey, I won't add it."

She took a bite of meat and closed her eyes with some happiness.

"I really want this to happen every day."

Yang Jun shrugged upon hearing this and said, "That's the case now."

Xiao Yuer smiled happily: "That's right."

At this moment, she let go of a lot of burdens.

If it were still the same as before, she felt that she probably would not be able to finish reading this book, but now it is different. Her mother and brother have basic food and clothing guarantees, and she can focus on studying.

"By the way, Brother Xiaoshan, did Uncle Qi say he wanted to talk to you?"

Aunt Fan Ping's generation is the Xin generation, so she naturally belongs to the Yuan generation, and Uncle Fan Qi is the seventh uncle.

"Seventh Uncle called you too?" Yang Jun said.

She ate the steamed bun and nodded her little head: "Hmm."

"Then let's go together later. I also want to know what the village will arrange for us to do. I hope it's not too troublesome."

After eating, the two of them went straight to where Uncle Seven was.

Fan Xinhe was not far from the grain field, so he needed to keep an eye on this place at all times to avoid any major trouble.

It will take time to implement the results of the meeting one by one, but fortunately the situation is not bad.

It's all stabilized.
