Pampered Tian's Wife: The Little Weaver Girl in the Farmhouse

Chapter 343
The women are busy cooking, and the men are not idle either.Although the wheat was not harvested in the afternoon, the wheat in the morning was still in the field.While the dinner was still in the pot, the men all went to the field, tied up the wheat harvested in the morning, and then transported it back to the wheat pressing field.Just waiting for the wheat to dry, you can press the wheat.

The wheat pressing field is an open space not too far from the river, and the terrain is flat.A few days ago, Liu Zhuangtou led people to drive the animals to pull the mill, and poured water on the wheat milling field to carefully press it several times.Therefore, the ground of the wheat pressing field is flat and smooth at this time, and the wheat is spread on it to dry for about three days before it can be pressed.

Harvesting wheat is a very tiring job, especially with so much wheat planted in Zhuangzi. Just harvesting wheat this season can make people feel tired.Fortunately, the wheat was also ripe for distribution. Liu Zhuangtou led his men to take it back in slices, and then collected it while pressing the wheat. At least he could breathe a sigh of relief.

"Tomorrow morning, assign a group of people to come over to press the wheat. I saw that the wheat collected yesterday and the day before yesterday was almost dry. Taking advantage of the good weather, I quickly packed it up. This May day is just like a child's. The face is almost the same, if you change it, you will change." Liu Zhuangtou led someone to turn the wheat on the wheat pressing field to one side, and felt that the wheat was almost sun-dried, so he said.

"Dalin Erlin, you two will bring a dozen young men and your daughter-in-law together tomorrow, so you can press the wheat here. The day after tomorrow it will be the turn of the others, and they will all take a break. The girl is so kind to us, we You have to work wholeheartedly, take back all the wheat as soon as possible, but don't waste it." Liu Zhuangtou solemnly told the farmers behind him.

"Well, don't worry, Uncle Liu, we all understand these things. It's rare for us to meet such a good master, so of course we have to work hard." Went to the field to transport the wheat back.

Everyone was busy with their own work, until the evening, when the women finished their dinner, they called the men to stop and rest, washed their hands and ate together.On this open space, every household brought their own tables, chairs and benches, and a total of twenty tables were set up.

The women began to serve dishes on the table one after another, and the sumptuous dinner exuded a tempting aroma.The people who had worked all day were already hungry, attracted by the aroma of the food in front of them, they couldn't help swallowing.

There are chicken, duck and fish on the table, and everything is oily and fragrant.Zhuanghumen is busy all year round, so it is good to be able to eat enough, and meals like the one in front of you can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year.At this moment, those little babies couldn't help it anymore, shouting and wanting to eat meat.

The women had already brought up the meals and set them up. When they saw their babies making a fuss, they couldn't help but change their expressions, and they pulled them over and stretched out their hands to beat them. "What's the fuss? How can you lose your food? The girl hasn't spoken yet, what does it look like?"

The children are still young, they only have delicious food in their eyes, how do they know that?She was reprimanded loudly by her mother, so she pursed her mouth and wanted to cry.It was Qiaoyun who heard it, and hurried over to persuade her, "Sister-in-law Wang, please sit down and eat, we have been busy all afternoon, and the children are hungry too."

The daughter-in-law of the Wang family was a little embarrassed, "Girl, it's my baby who is not worrying and made the girl laugh." As she spoke, she sat down with her arms around her son, held the child's hand, and didn't allow the baby to move around. .

"Okay, let's start eating. Today is the holiday. You don't have to think about anything, just open up and eat. Uncle Liu, there is still wine over there. Let my elder brother accompany you all to drink a little. Recently, everyone is tired after the wheat harvest. Panic, drink some wine to relieve fatigue." Qiao Yun smiled and called everyone to sit down and eat quickly.

There are a total of 80 people in Zhuangzi, plus Qiaoyun's guard girl and mother-in-law and others, there are more than 200 people.Qinglei, Lin Bokang, and Liu Zhuangtou led the men to sit at fourteen or fifteen tables, while Qiaoyun, Aunt Wei and others led the wives and children to the Zhuangzi to sit.

The farmers are very simple, and they respect Qiaoyun even more, even though the food is set in front of them, but no one does it.Seeing this, Qiaoyun hurriedly called everyone to eat quickly.Everyone saw Qiaoyun moving their chopsticks, so they picked up vegetables to eat.

Tonight's meal is very rich, even in the green vegetables, there are a lot of sliced ​​meat.For these people who don't have much food in their stomachs, the food in front of them is simply too rare, and everyone doesn't care about it, and eats it with their stomachs open.The men were eating and drinking, and after a while, they heard shouting, it turned out that someone was punching.

The women's side is not so lively, many daughters-in-law are hugging their own babies.It is rare to have such a delicious meal, the daughters-in-law would rather eat a few bites by themselves, and feed the children first.I saw those women with babies in their arms, they didn't care about eating by themselves at all, but kept feeding their children vegetables and meat.

The village households didn't pay too much attention to their meals, and it was such a rare meal, so it was impossible for everyone to eat in a particularly civilized manner.Aunt Wei and the others came from the Duke's mansion, so they couldn't help but feel a little ugly looking at them, "Girl, how about this? Look over there, everyone is going to grab the chicken and fish, and the meat in the vegetables, etc. How ugly is the leftover greens?"

Qiao Yun was eating at the same table with Aunt Wei, Aunt Yun, An Shi Yuerong and others.The food these people usually eat is not bad. Although the food in front of them is good, it is just about the same as usual, so they all eat very politely.Comparing the two sides, Aunt Wei really couldn't help frowning.

Qiaoyun smiled and shook her head, "Auntie, it's okay, don't worry, there will be nothing left for a while, so don't worry about it. These people are different from us, they are busy all year round, and I am afraid that they can only eat during the festivals Such a good meal. Let them eat whatever they want, you see those children are quite pitiful, their eyes are shining when they see meat."

"I'm afraid my aunt has never experienced the feeling of being hungry. In the past, I couldn't eat enough all day long, and I was so hungry that I swayed when I walked. Thinking about the past and looking at those children, I can quite understand them. The kind of mood that tastes delicious. Don’t worry about it, just let them eat whatever they want.” Qiaoyun didn’t think there was anything wrong with it, in her opinion, these people were already well-behaved.

When Aunt Wei and Aunt Yun heard Qiaoyun's words, they couldn't help sighing, "I really didn't expect that the girl suffered so much back then. It's no wonder that the girl acted so generously. I think it's because I judge others by myself, and I can't bear others to suffer too. The girl is kind-hearted, and there will be greater blessings in the future."
