big sister headed home

Chapter 76

After Dou Hua's family moved into the new house, they "haven't been free for a few days" and then devoted themselves to the busy wheat harvesting and farming. The annual wheat harvesting season has begun.

Now life is easier 'I have more money in my hand' Dou Hua thought that just like last year's autumn harvest, she could hire a few people temporarily to work in a few days, and now Dou Hua didn't want to make her younger siblings work so hard. 'As long as there are adults in the family, no one's children are so tired'It used to be unconditional, but now it is possible'Naturally, it is necessary to make the family easier.

But "I haven't waited for Dou Hua to spend money to hire someone" Jiang Ermeng came to help early, "not for other reasons" just to get along with each other for a few more days, he is also afraid that Dou Hua will hire someone to work again this time' Then he wants to get along with the opportunity but there is no.

On this day, early in the morning, Dou Hua's family had just had breakfast and was doing housework in the yard. Jiang Er drove the ox cart and came to Dou's house with familiarity.

Dou Qing was cleaning the yard when he looked up and saw Jiang Ermeng, he couldn't help being startled, put down his broom and walked to the door, saying, "Brother Jiang, you are here, come in quickly."

"Hey, are your elder sister and the others here?" Jiang Ermeng asked.

"They're all here. I just had breakfast and I'm cleaning up right now. Brother Jiang, why are you here so early? Do you have something to do?" Dou Qing asked.

Jiang Ermeng smiled and said, "I wonder if your wheat is about to be harvested, so I'll come over and see if I can help, hehe~"

"Oh, that's right. My eldest sister is still thinking about hiring some people. My family will harvest wheat tomorrow." Dou Hong asked curiously.

"What do you hire people for? How much do you spend? With you, Big Brother Jiang, I can do this job. I don't need others. A few acres of wheat can be harvested in a few days." Jiang Ermeng patted his chest bang bang.

Dou Hua was both surprised and happy when she saw Jiang Ermeng coming. She hadn't seen him for a while, and she missed him a little.

Maybe it's because she knows that the person in front of her is someone she will spend her whole life with, or maybe it's because the two get to know each other more and more as they spend more time together. In short, Dou Hua is now more and more satisfied with Jiang Ermeng.

Every time we meet each other, my heart will feel a little thumping, and Dou Hua thinks a little self-deprecatingly, this is probably love.

Dou Qing ushered Jiang Ermeng into the yard. There was a shed in the yard. When it was hot in summer, Dou Hua and the others ate in the shed. At this time, there was a set of tables and chairs in the shed. Clean up the pots and pans in the arbor.

"Brother Jiang, have you eaten yet?" Dou Hua asked.

Jiang Ermeng smiled and said, "I walked down the mountain in a hurry, and I haven't had time to eat yet. You guys just ate."

Dou Hua glanced at him, knowing that Jiang Ermeng was greedy for her cooking, and said, "Well, we just ate, if you had come earlier, you would have caught up, but since you haven't eaten, I'll give you something to eat Bar."

Dou Hua quickly made a bowl of noodles, rolled out the thin and uniform noodles, cut them into noodles of average thickness, and quickly made a bowl of fragrant egg noodles. After the noodles came out of the pan, sprinkled with chopped green onion Dou Hua brought a large bowl of egg noodles to Jiang Ermeng.

Jiang Ermeng was not polite, he took the bowl and started eating. Dou Hua sat on the side of the table, resting his chin, watching him eat.

Jiang Ermeng looked a little embarrassed, raised his head and said, "Am I not good-looking when I eat?"

Dou Hua shook her head and said, "No, I just like to watch you eat, as if you are eating some delicacies from mountains and seas. Is it really that delicious?"

Jiang Er nodded fiercely, "It's delicious, Dou Hua. I like to eat your cooking. I like to eat any kind of food you cook. After we get married, I will eat your cooking for the rest of my life."

Dou Hua blushed when she heard such straightforward words, and looked around awkwardly, seeing that there was no one else, she said in a low voice, "I know how to talk nonsense, and I'm not afraid of being overheard by the younger ones, how embarrassing you are!" .”

Jiang Ermeng smiled, bowed his head and continued eating noodles.

The younger ones in the family had tactfully avoided them a long time ago. Dou Qing led Dou Hong to cut grass, Dou Lin was studying books in the house, and Dou Cui hid in the house to embroider.

The absence of the younger ones just created a chance for Dou Hua and the two to get along alone.

The two sat at the table, chatting with each other sentence by sentence, chatting about what each other has been doing in recent days.

Since he didn't cut the wheat today, Jiang Ermeng found some other jobs to do, such as carrying water, chopping firewood, watering vegetables, cleaning the pigsty, and moving things...

Dou Hua let him do the dirty work and tiring work, and she actually enjoyed watching him work there.

They helped with the work, and Dou Hua did not treat them badly. The lunch meal was well prepared, not only delicious, but also plentiful.

Baked golden scallion pancakes, marinated pork head cut into thin slices, shredded green onions, peppers and cucumbers, bean paste, and hot and sour sauce are all prepared.

Flatbread roll meat, spread a layer of sauce, spread a layer of green onion and chili shreds, spread a layer of meat slices, a roll of flatbread, easy to eat, and delicious, one for each person, after eating one, want to eat the second indivual.

A pot of mung bean soup was boiled in the pot to clear the heat and reduce the heat. I ate two rolls of meat and drank two bowls of mung bean soup. The taste was really delicious.

The burrito is eaten with shredded green onion and chili pepper, which is appetizing and refreshing, and you will eat a lot without knowing it.

Jiang Ermeng really enjoyed this mouthful. He ate five burritos and drank three bowls of mung bean soup. Dou Hua and Dou Qing each ate three burritos. I'm a little full of food.

After lunch, the sun in mid-air radiated scorching sunlight, and people dared not stay under the sun for fear of being dried out and cooked.

When the weather is hot, ordinary people will hide at home and take a nap, and take a nap to rest. Dou Hua's family also has the habit of taking a lunch break.

Now there is an extra Jiang Ermeng. According to common sense, he and Dou Hua are not married yet, so in order to avoid suspicion, they cannot enter the house, but it is very sunny outside, so Dou Hua found him a place in the shade of the yard, cleaned It is clean, and a mat is spread out, so that it is very cool to lie on it, and occasionally there is a small wind blowing, but it is not so hot.

Jiang Ermeng was sitting on the mat, drinking mung bean soup, and holding a big cattail fan in one hand to keep fanning the wind.

This is the time when every house is taking a nap, and no one visits the house, so Dou Hua also went to the shade to find a Maza to sit and chat with Jiang Ermeng.

"Don't look for others to cut the wheat this time. I'm here to help you. Anyway, there's not much land." Jiang Ermeng said.

"There are still people vying for work. Aren't you afraid of the heat in such a big sun?" Dou Hua said.

"Don't be afraid, I'm happy to help you work. I can still see you every day like this. We haven't seen each other for a long time." Jiang Ermeng said with some resentment.

"Why, didn't you help in building the house a few days ago, did you see me someday?" Dou Hua said.

"That was all a month ago." Jiang Er snapped his fingers to count the days.

Dou Hua: "..." Has it been that long?No wonder some miss it.

"I planted some watermelons again this year, and now two of them are as big as fists, and they will be ripe in a few days. I'll bring them to you." Jiang Ermeng said.

"Well, okay, I pickled some more spicy cucumbers, you like to eat them, take some back when you go back." Dou Hua said.

"Hey, good." Jiang Ermeng sat on the side of the mat, some distance from Dou Hua, looked up and just saw Dou Hua's white side neck, under the sunlight, it seemed to have a halo, Jiang Ermeng could see It was a little dazzling, and I couldn't help being a little distracted, secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and abruptly moved my eyes to other places, but didn't dare to look any more.

Regarding the matter of men and women, Jiang Ermeng had never thought about it before, but since he fell in love with Dou Hua and got engaged, his body seemed to be enlightened. Occasionally, he would feel hot and uncomfortable at night, especially when he was thinking about Dou Hua. A certain part of the body will always be dishonest.

That feeling was really tormenting, and Jiang Ermeng looked forward to the day of getting married more and more.

Dou Hua only stayed outside with Jiang Ermeng for a while, fearing that her younger sister Dou Cui would be worried, so she went back to the house.

In the next few days, Jiang Ermeng's brother and sister-in-law Chen came over again to help cut the wheat. Dou Hua was grateful and did not refuse. She just cooked better and entertained them.

After the wheat has been harvested, all kinds of crops are planted, and the wheat harvesting and farming are considered to be over.

Dou Hua's family once again put their energy into the noodle restaurant in the county. Dou Ji Noodle Restaurant has been open for a year, and it has also gained a good reputation in the county. The cold noodles in summer are very popular, and many people eat noodles every day.

Dou Hua took Dou Cui, Dou Hong and Li Shi to work for the noodle shop every day, and Dou Qing occasionally went to help out. Most of the time, he stayed at home and took care of the house. There were all kinds of livestock at home, and the field work also needed to be done. He can't live without people, and he doesn't like to stay in noodle shops, so he stays at home to do these things.

When she is free, taking advantage of the good weather, Dou Hua will go to the mountains to collect herbs. Because of the last injury, Dou Qing has always been worried, and she will follow every time.

Dou Hua also acted a little more cautiously, instead of intentionally looking for those hard-to-find precious medicinal herbs, she would dig up whatever she came across, and when she dug up more herbs, Dou Hua sold some of them to Baohe In the hall, I kept some of them to dry, and tried to concoct the medicinal materials by myself, smashing the medicinal materials, and making various configurations according to the formulas in medical books, because Dou Hua's facial features are extraordinary, and her sense of smell is also very sensitive. I can distinguish various medicines in terms of taste. After several experiments, I have a good grasp of the various proportions.

To be on the safe side, Dou Hua brought the medicines she prepared to Baohetang, and asked the shopkeeper to check them. After careful inspection, the old shopkeeper nodded and was very pleased. He gave her a big compliment and praised her for the precision of the medicine , which undoubtedly increased her confidence in dispensing medicine.

In the end, the shopkeeper of Baohetang presented her with two more medical books, hoping that she could go a long way on the road of studying medicine.
