The Notre Dame system is arrogant again

Chapter 392
They didn't expect that just after talking about Zhang Xiaohua's parents, Zhang Xiaohua's parents would arrive.

"Sister, parents are here!"

Zhang Daniu and Zhang Erniu opened the gate and ran in. Steward Zhang was so frightened that something happened, and saw a country couple enter the gate.

"You are?"

"I'm looking for my daughter!" Zhao Shi said.

"My daughter's name is Zhang Xiaohua!" Boss Zhang said something with his bundle in his arms, and then shouted inside, "Xiaohua, where are you? Your mother and I are here to see you!"

Butler Zhang couldn't help poking his lips, but when he saw Zhang Xiaohua running out, he smiled again.

"Master and wife, come into the house quickly."

Zhang Xiaohua ran out, Boss Zhang and Mrs. Zhao didn't care about each other's address, and rushed to meet her.

"Little flower!"

"Father and mother, why are you here! Come in, it's so cold! You'll be here at this time, when did you get up?"

"I got up in the middle of the night." Zhang Boss said, "It's still too late, according to your mother, I will come last night."

"Who am I for? Isn't it because you said that the family's work can't be delayed!" Mrs. Zhao said angrily.

Zhang Xiaohua let them enter the house and put them on the kang, and asked Mrs. Ping and Mrs. Liu to cook, still hot noodle soup.

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. He and Mrs. Ping looked at each other, and they were a little surprised, so they came right away!

But it doesn't look like a big family and a big business.

With curiosity and doubts, the two went to cook.

"We saw our parents when we walked halfway, and they came back together again. Dahu and the others have gone home, and they are waiting for school to start." Zhang Daniu said.

"It's all right now, you don't need to go back anymore, tell your parents to stay here for two nights, and you can go to school directly." Zhang Xiaohua poured hot water to make Boss Zhang and Mrs. Zhao warm, and said to Zhang Daniu.

Zhang Erniu was very happy, he just didn't want to go back.

"How do you live? There can be no one at home." Sitting on the kang, Boss Zhang took a sip of hot tea and said, "Besides, you work for others, and this is not your home."

"Why is there no one at home? Isn't my uncle and aunt at home? Isn't grandma also at home?" Zhang Xiaohua sat down next to Mrs. Zhao, "Although this is where I work, I have the final say."

"You still have the final say!" Boss Zhang laughed, obviously not believing it.

"Father, I'm not joking with you. I'm showing the house to the master, and the master has left everything here to me. What's wrong with my parents coming to live for two days? By the way, when the time comes to open the shop, helpers may be needed, dad Mom, just come and help me."

"What can mother do?" Mrs. Zhao drank water, looked at the little girl, touched her head, and said, "Xiaohua is getting fat again."

Zhang Erniu said.

"Why is she fat again, she has always been so fat!"

Boss Zhang went over and pulled him over.

"Come on, ask dad to take a look, mother of the child, look, has our Er Niu grown taller?"

Mrs. Zhao looked and nodded.

"Really." Looking at the eldest son over there, "Daniu seems to have grown taller."

"Well, yes, it's also strong." Boss Zhang looked at his two sons and said with emotion, "It's really a promising person to go to school!"

"If a person moves a living tree and kills it, if he moves it somewhere else, he will be happy!" Zhang Xiaohua said.

"Smelly girl, you can say it!" Boss Zhang said with a smile.

The hot noodle soup was ready, and when it was served, Boss Zhang and Mrs. Zhao ate two big bowls, feeling comfortable all over their bodies.

And Zhang Daniu and Zhang Erniu had another bowl.

After eating, Zhang Xiaohua asked them to sleep and rest.

After walking in the middle of the night, Boss Zhang and Mrs. Zhao were so tired that they fell asleep as soon as their heads touched the pillows.

Zhang Xiaohua asked her two elder brothers to come out and speak.

"Let's stay with our parents for two days, and call them back after you go to school."

"Father and mother will disagree." Zhang Daniu felt helpless.

"What if I don't go home and the pigs and chickens starve to death?" Zhang Erniu said.

Zhang Xiaohua glared at him.

"With so many living people in the family, the pigs will starve to death!"

"It's all mother-fed..." Zhang Erniu said again.

"Then starve to death, anyway, it's not our family!" Zhang Xiaohua went to the kang and asked Zhang Daniu to translate the book.

"What do you do to translate books?" Zhang Erniu also put aside his family affairs and became interested.

Zhang Xiaohua showed him the manuscript she had translated, and Zhang Erniu thought it was good, so he quarreled.

"I'm coming, I'm coming too!"

The three brothers and sisters opened the book and memorized it while writing, forgetting the time for a while.

Tired of waiting, Zhang Daniu stretched his waist.

"Erniu, go and see if your parents are awake?"

"Don't wake them up, let them sleep." Zhang Xiaohua added.

Zhang Erniu said "Oh" and went away.

"What if parents have to go home?" Zhang Daniu asked.

"Then go back." Zhang Xiaohua poured a cup of tea to drink, "Twisted melons are not sweet, they will suffer if they want to go back and suffer."

Zhang Daniu was dissatisfied with his sister's attitude.

"Tell me about them."

"Haven't I said much? Is there any need to talk about it? It's not like there is no one at home, what's wrong with staying overnight?" Zhang Xiaohua hummed, "I thought I was the sun, and no one could do without it. In fact, it’s all self-righteous!”

At this time Zhang Erniu came in and said.

"Father and mother are awake and have to go back."

Zhang Daniu sighed.

"Let me go and talk." After speaking, he went to the Kang.

"Tell parents, I'm not going back." Zhang Erniu told his elder brother, and went to the kang to continue writing and endorsing.

He likes it here, the heated kang facing south is warm and bright.

The most important thing is to eat well and be full. In contrast, I am not so comfortable at home.

After thinking about it, Zhang Xiaohua got off the kang and went to the Westinghouse.

"...If you don't know how to go, you can't do it." I only heard Boss Zhang say, "There is a lot of work at home, and there is no rice or noodles."

In ancient times, there were no rice milling machines, and the grains had to be processed after being threshed from the straw, that is, to be pressed on the mill to remove the skin, which is called pushing the mill.

Throughout the winter, people's main work is to do this.

There are basically only two mills in a village, and each family needs to process grain, so they have to schedule shifts if they have no choice but to go to work at night.

Donkeys are used to pull the rollers, and some can only be pushed with sticks, that is, people push, and the farmer's family, animals are more valuable than people.It is not finished after pushing, and you need to use a dustpan to remove the skin, so that you can put it in the pot.

It took one winter to deal with the rations of at least a few months for the family, or even more. One can imagine the heavy workload.

In addition to these, Chinese New Year steamed dry food will continue to be processed into rice.

Most of the dry food that country people eat is made from ground rice, such as "dry noodles" made of corn flour mixed with millet flour, and rice cakes and bean buns made of yellow rice flour.

And this kind of deep processing of grain is also done by pressing with a roller.

Why there is a saying that every grain is hard work does not only refer to the process of planting in spring, harvesting in autumn and serving crops in summer, but also the subsequent procedures. It can be said that it is not easy to eat every grain in your mouth.

Although this is not the ancient times of history, all the people at the bottom of the ancient times lived the same life, which was very difficult.

Listening to what Boss Zhang said, Zhang Xiaohua felt a little distracted.

　Although it is written about the ancient process of "every grain is hard work", it is not ancient. It was like this in the countryside in the 70s and 30s. It was when I was a child, and it is less than [-] years from now. My mother pushed the roller like this. Rice cakes are rolled out in this way, and the roller is still there, and occasionally people use it to eat chives. It is said that the machine is not delicious.
