Farmhouse Pastoral Notes

Chapter 277 Leisurely
Chunqiu was dragged into the main house by Mrs. Yang and Li. Because of the marriage of the younger uncle, the husband and wife both moved into the shop, and the house they built before was also vacant. Only Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Yang lived in the big room. , It seems that the room is a little empty and lacks popularity.

Pushing open the door, Chunqiu followed Yang Lishi and walked in, his eyes swept over the decorations in front of him, it was the same as when he came back years ago.

Mrs. Yang Li turned her head and said with a smile, "My dear granddaughter, hurry up and sit on the kang. Yesterday your uncle came back with two packs of pastries made by your aunt. Grandma knows you like it the most. Wait, grandma will find it for you now."

While talking, Yang Li let go of Chunqiu's hand, turned around and walked to the side cabinet.

Seeing this, Chunqiu quickly stretched out his hand to grab the hem of Yang Lishi's back clothes, and when Yang Lishi turned around, he hurriedly said, "Grandma, I will help you too."

"No, no, you can use this thing. You must be tired after riding the carriage all the way. Hurry up and rest on the kang." Yang Li waved her hand, then stretched out her hand and pushed Chunqiu back, telling her to sit on the kang quickly sitting on the side.

Chunqiu was pushed by Mrs. Yang and Li and walked a few steps towards the kang, opened his mouth and wanted to say a few words, but found that Grandma had already walked to the cabinet with her back turned to her and began to rummage.

The cabinets at home were built by old man Yang himself in the early years, and most of the paint on them has been peeled off, and the exposed parts are a bit hideous.

Yang Lishi opened the cabinet without much effort, and when she turned around, she already had two extra bags wrapped in kraft paper in her hand.

"Why didn't you sit, what are you doing standing?" Yang Li looked back and saw that Chunqiu was still standing aside, and directly stretched out her hand to drag Chunqiu onto the kang.

Sitting cross-legged on the side of the kang, Yang Lishi opened the paper bag in front of Chunqiu, revealing the neatly arranged pale yellow pastry inside, "My dear granddaughter, how about trying this pastry?" Push the brown paper containing the pastry back twice.

Chunqiu picked up a piece of pastry from the paper bag, met Yang Lishi's earnest gaze, and put the pastry into her mouth with a gulp. Compared with the pastries sold in the shop, the pastries she ate now were still a bit rough , the workmanship is not fine, but Chunqiu is very happy to eat, nodding to Yang Lishi with her smiling eyes, Chunqiu stuffed all the cakes in her hand into her mouth in one breath, and swallowed twice down.

Seeing that Chunqiu finished eating one piece so quickly, Mrs. Yang and Li quickly reached out and passed another piece over, "Good granddaughter, eat slowly, and be careful not to choke."

"It's okay." Chunqiu shook his head, changed hands and handed another piece of pastry to Yang Li, and said with a smile, "Grandma, you can eat too." This pastry is not hard, but soft and delicious to eat. Made by grandma, although grandma has lost most of her teeth due to her age, but her two front teeth are still there, so it is no problem to eat some soft pastries like this.

Seeing her good granddaughter not forgetting herself while eating, Yang and Li thought how beautiful she was, and took the pastry from Chunqiu's hand with a smile, and began to bite along with Chunqiu.

The grandparents and grandchildren just ate pastries face to face, and you took a bite of each other, which was very warm.

After eating the cakes, Mrs. Yang Li asked Chunqiu to rest in her room, because Mrs. Yang did not know that Yang Weibo and his daughter came back today, and their second room was not cleaned up. Mrs. Yang Li was thinking about letting Yang Weibo and his daughter Rest in their main house first, wait for two days to finish the work in the field, and then tidy up the house.

After hearing this, Chunqiu naturally agreed, but she thought that she would clean up the house during the two days of busy farming. Grandma was getting older every year, and Chunqiu couldn't bear to ask an old man to help clean up.

In fact, this is what Chunqiu thinks too much. Yang Lishi has been living in Yangjia Village for the past two years, and the work he does every day is several times that of Chunqiu. It is no exaggeration to say that with Chunqiu's small body, he can't do Yang Lishi.

The conditions of the Yang family have improved significantly in the past two years, and even the reputation of the Yang family's food shop has spread back to the Yang family village.

Thanks to the increase in income, the land and paddy fields bought by their Yang family are also several times that of previous years. The seeds planted in April have already grown seedlings. Now that it is May, the dry land is fine, but the paddy fields can grow. A lot of weeds grew up, competing with the rice seedlings for nutrition. In previous years, Mrs. Yang and Li had to take the whole family under the scorching sun to remove the seedlings. When Chunqiu was still at home, he did not work less in the fields.

It's just that with the increase in income in the past two years, the family can't do the work in the field, so Yang Li now hires people to remove the seedlings, and the workers are all villagers in the village. Just look at the gate of the paddy field, because they are all from the village, and the villagers are not good at stealing and cheating. Besides, Mrs. Yang and Li pay a lot of wages, and the villagers work even harder, just like today, Mrs. Yang and Li Even if they don't go to the paddy field, the villagers will not take advantage of Yang Li's absence to take a rest and play in secret. This also reassures Yang Li, after all, there are a bunch of chickens and ducks at home to feed, and Yang Li doesn't have the time to go to the paddy field every day run.

"Granddaughter, grandma, go and have a look at our farm. You should have a good rest in the house. When grandma comes back in the evening, cook a chicken for my granddaughter." After Yang Lishi finished speaking, she turned around, put on her shoes and got off the ground. .

Chunqiu watched from the side, thinking that she was really hungry for chicken.

Not long after her grandma went out, Chunqiu heard the noise outside the door, mixed with a few faint sounds of chickens. Qiuqiu hurriedly climbed to the window, looked at the faint light on the window, it turned out that her father was catching chickens, Well, it seems that grandma gave the order when she left, otherwise, such an honest and honest person as her father would not have dared to arrest him without her grandma.

……

The sun was setting slowly, and the fiery red clouds dyed the entire sky red. Facing the afterglow of the setting sun, her grandma and her grandfather entered the yard one after the other.

At this moment, Chunqiu was stewing the rooster prepared by her father in the kitchen, the strong aroma of the chicken came out from the iron pot, Chunqiu swallowed secretly, while turning over the chicken in the pot with an iron spoon.

After feeling the same, Chunqiu poured some water into the iron pot, then put the lid on the pot, and then squatted behind the stove to add firewood.

With a hoe on her shoulder, Mrs. Yang Li asked Yang Weibo who was weaving baskets at the door, "Second brother, where is my good granddaughter?"

The wooden sticks in Yang Weibo's hands were cut down from Montenegro by the old man a few days ago. Yang Weibo thought that he was fine, so he picked up the wooden sticks that had been dried to the side and weaved them.

Yang Weibo raised his head, looked around first, then pointed to the kitchen beside him, "Mother, Qiu'er is cooking in the kitchen."

"Hey, what are you a big man for? Let my good granddaughter cook as soon as she comes back..." After listening to Yang Li, she slapped her thigh anxiously, pointed at Yang Weibo and sprayed, which meant that Yang Weibo Abusing her good granddaughter, Yang Li doesn't think about it, and usually cooks a lot when Chunqiu comes back.
