Yoshida Mii

Chapter 229 Family
Although Aunt Qiuxia said so, Dongbao still brought a large jar of sweet soy milk freshly fished out of the well. Under the sun in May, a layer of water soon formed on the outside of the crockpot. .

Dong Bao and Xiao Xu were sitting on the cart wearing wide straw hats. Dong Bao was driving the donkey cart skillfully. The soy milk in the crock could not stand the bumps and spilled out.

"How long will it take?" Xiao Xu asked, although there is a straw hat to shade the sun, but the weather is hot, Xiao Xu's white and fat face is hot and red.

Dong Bao turned back and smiled, "It's almost there, you've arrived at Quan Zi's house, can't you stop working?"

"That's it." Xiao Xu nodded quickly, "I made an agreement with Brother Quanzi yesterday, let me also cut the wheat for a while." Xiao Xu grew up in the town and only saw others cut the wheat, but never I have never cut it myself, and my heart is very itchy.

Dong Bao nodded and said, "Success, just be careful not to cut your feet."

Dong Bao slept in her new home yesterday, she thought she would not be able to fall asleep in a new environment, but she didn't expect to lie down for a long time, counting the stars outside the tent, and soon fell asleep.It is said that Mrs. Li got up in the middle of the night to see her once, and saw that she was sleeping like a little pig, so she went back with peace of mind.

In the morning, she was woken up by the sound of birds chirping. When she opened her eyes, she was greeted by bright sunshine. She listened carefully to the clinking of pots and pans in the front yard, as well as the voices of Mr. Yan, Mrs. Li and Xiao Xu.At that time, Dong Bao secretly thought that it was terrible, that he didn't get up earlier than Mrs. Li and Mr. Yan, but he actually let Xiao Xu rush ahead of him.

Dong Bao hurriedly got up and dressed, washed his face with the water in the washbasin in the room, combed his hair briefly, and went out.

Outside, Mr. Yan was carrying out a bowl of porridge from the kitchen. He was wearing a homely gray cloth jacket and black coarse cloth trousers. When he saw Dong Bao, he smiled and said, "Are you up? Sit down and eat."

"Sister, sister! Sit here with me!" Xiao Xu waved to Dong Bao with a smile.

At this moment, Mrs. Li also came out with a small bamboo basket, and Mrs. Li also changed into homely clothes, with only a golden hairpin on her head, and the bamboo basket in her hand was covered with a cage cloth, emitting a fragrance, from the fragrance Judging from the above, it is obvious that the inside is the freshly baked scallion pancake.

Seeing her daughter for the first time, Mrs. Li was a little embarrassed, and quickly put the bamboo basket in front of Dongbao and Xiaoxu, and turned around to go into the kitchen to get the bowls and chopsticks.

Combining the previous life and the present life, Dongbao has not experienced the feeling of sitting together for breakfast with the whole family for many years. Ever since his parents moved the tofu business to the city to grow bigger and stronger, Dongbao has become busy in this life. Song Dongning, I'm afraid Song Xiucai has never been in the kitchen to cook for Mrs. Li in his whole life. They believe in "a gentleman stays away from the kitchen", and he will only sit at the dining table and wait for the meal as the head of the family. smell.

Dong Baoqiang pursed the corners of his mouth that were about to turn up, and complained to Li Shi: "Why didn't you wake me up earlier? Are you trying to eat breakfast behind my back?" What she complained about Li Shi even more was, Isn't this the first day of the wedding, and there is no in-laws to worship, it is unscientific to wake up so early!

Li Shi laughed angrily, reached out and twisted Dong Bao's ear, "Look at this girl! You don't even have sleep and blame others? Xiao Xu wakes up earlier than you, so I said I'd call you, you Father said to let you sleep a little longer, and let Xiaoxu call you after the meal is ready, but before Xiaoxu passed, you got up by yourself."

"I'm not as used to girls as you are!" Shi Li smiled and glanced at Mrs. Yan, "What should I do if I raise a lazy girl in the future?"

"What are you afraid of?" Dong Bao said with a smile, picked up a piece of scallion pancake to eat, and said leisurely: "I have Brother Dashi, I don't worry about marrying him! If you think I'm annoying, I will pack my luggage when I am old Brother Dashi’s home is fine.” He completely looked as if he was relying on Lin Shi.

Mrs. Li was really defeated by her daughter's thick skin. When other girls talk about their fiancés, they are shy and timid.

"You go to someone's house now!" Shi Li laughed angrily.

Dong Bao's eyes sparkled, "You can marry now? That's great!"

Li Shi slapped Dong Bao on the forehead, and was speechless angrily, "It's really a waste of raising you so big, you just run to other people's house with all your heart!"

Master Yan was also amused, rubbed the spot on Dong Bao's forehead that was photographed by Mrs. Li, and said with a smile, "How can I do that? I finally had a girl, and Xiao Xu finally had a sister. How could I do it so quickly?" Just get married? Why do you have to stay at home for a few more years?"

"And me!" Xiao Xu shouted from the side, "I can raise my sister when I grow up!"

Dong Bao smiled and praised, "Good boy!" By the way, he kissed Xiao Xu hard on the forehead, it's really thanks to her being so kind to Xiao Xu.

The four of them ate a meal very happily. Xiao Xu looked at Li Shi for a while, and Dong Bao for a while, grinning happily while drinking the porridge, with both feet dangling on the chair, swinging back and forth non-stop , this is not a breakfast alone with his father, nor is he eating breakfast with others in the shop like a guest, but he is having breakfast with his mother and sister. The quarrels and jokes at the dinner table have been difficult for him to understand for many years The warmth and taste of home.

After eating, Dong Bao took Xiao Xu to the shop, fed the chickens and put the big gray on the cart. This year, the weather is hot and the wheat is ripening a few days earlier than usual. Now is the busy season of farming. , Li Hongqin took Xiuyu and Xiaoqian back to Zhangjiacun. Aunt Qiuxia and the others were also busy cutting wheat in the field.

The bustling market suddenly became deserted, Mrs. Li closed the shop, and only planned to go back to Tagou Jilin's house to make tofu in the afternoon, and distributed the tofu and bean sprouts to the Baoji team to pick and sell.

As soon as Dong Bao and Xiao Xu came out of Yuanshui Town, they saw scenes of busy farming everywhere. The golden fields glistened in the sun, and the wind blew up billows of wheat. The field was bent over with straw hats. The farmers who cut the wheat at the waist, and those with quick hands and feet, have already cut more than half of the wheat.

After Dongbao and Xiaoxu arrived at Tagouji, the village was quiet. Most people were busy in their own fields at this time. The two went to the workshop first to have a look. The workshop had already been built and the manpower was fully recruited. Start production after busy farming.Two big donkeys tied to the gate were grazing, and when they saw a stranger and a raw donkey, they barked vigilantly one by one, and Xiao Xu ran over to touch both donkeys with a smile on his face.Dong Bao could almost imagine how the quiet and deserted workshop would be bustling and prosperous ten days later.

After finishing the workshop, the two drove Dahui to the field, and walked to the Lin family's field. Along the way, they met many familiar folks who greeted Dongbao one after another. Finally, they looked at Xiaoxu and said with a respectful smile. : "Is this the young master of Mr. Yan's family?"

"Young Master and Master! You can just call him Xiao Xu." Dong Bao smiled, and asked Xiao Xu to say hello to the villagers.

Xiaoxu has long passed the age of being afraid of strangers, and he smiled and followed Dongbao's "Uncle, Uncle, Auntie" all the way. His mouth is very sweet, and he is beautiful and cute. The master's son is different, very attractive.

Lin Shi had just cut a ridge of wheat, and when he stood up straight and wiped his sweat, he saw Dongbao and Xiaoxu coming from a distance, and smiled at Aunt Qiuxia, "Mother, Dongbao is here."

Aunt Qiuxia hurriedly stood up straight and glanced at the direction Lin Shi was pointing at. She came out of the field and greeted her with a smile from ear to ear. She first carried Xiao Xu off the cart, and then helped Dong Bao got out of the donkey cart.

"Is it hot on the road?" Aunt Qiuxia asked with a smile.

Xiao Xu shook his head, "It's not hot, wear a straw hat! Aunt Lin, my sister and I brought you sweet soy milk, you should drink it quickly."

"Okay!" Aunt Qiuxia responded with a smile, took a bowl from the ground, poured a bowl of soy milk first, and called Lin Shi who was talking to Dong Bao, "Da Shi, drink a bowl quickly." A few figures bent over to cut the wheat shouted: "Father, his father, Quanzi, hurry up and have a drink and rest!"

It is said to be cold, but in fact, after such a long time, it is not considered cold anymore, otherwise the few people just sweated so much, they can't drink cold soy milk directly, they must have diarrhea.

Quanzi is eleven years old this year, and from this year on, he will go to the field to harvest wheat like his elder brother Lin Shi.Dong Bao looked at Quanzi running from a distance, with sweat on his face, he was taller than her, and his body was much stronger. After Quanzi went to the town to study, he was much more mature and sensible than before. Last year At this time, he only knows how to go out to play every day, and doesn't worry about family affairs at all.

"Much more sensible!" Lin Fu and the villagers praised his youngest son, "You don't need to be urged to know how to help the family. Just like his brother, he will not be idle once he gets home."

Seeing Quanzi coming, Xiaoxu took Quanzi's hand and asked him to take him to cut wheat. Quanzi was so entangled by Xiaoxu that he had no choice but to take him to the field.

Aunt Qiuxia was worried, she followed behind and told, "Don't cut it anywhere, just ask him to cut it twice."

"Hey, I know." Quanzi replied distantly, and led Xiaoxu into the ground.

Lin Shi looked at it with a smile on the side, and said to Aunt Qiuxia: "Mother, don't worry, the whole son is an older child, he knows it well."

Aunt Qiuxia smiled, "Isn't it worrying!" Yan Chengxu is Mrs. Yan's only son, it would be very bad if it got cut somewhere and rubbed somewhere.He asked Dong Bao again, "Where's your mother? How's it going?"

Dong Bao nodded and said, "Very good. Before we left, my mother said that she would come to my aunt's house to make tofu in the afternoon."

"Your mother is restless!" Aunt Qiuxia smiled, "I still think she needs to rest for two or three days! A daughter-in-law in Qian'er Village asked me, saying that your mother is married to Mrs. Yan, and she still does it." Don’t do business anymore? I said do it, why don’t you do it, none of us feel comfortable if we don’t work for a day.”
