Xiuse Farmhouse

Chapter 127 fainted

Yang Yizhi couldn't work because of his leg injury. Seeing everyone busy in the fields, he was lying on the bed like thousands of ants crawling on his body. He landed on the ground, because of the splint on Wanwan, his whole leg was stiff and he walked slowly.

Maybe it's because I don't want my family to worry, or I hope I can help sooner, but I'm usually very careful when I go out.

In addition to walking around the house, he also went to the fields with a cane to check around. Everyone smiled and greeted him when they saw him.

"Village Chief, the sun is shining today!"

"Village Chief, are you feeling better?"

……

One by one was more enthusiastic than the other, and Yang Yizhi also responded happily to everyone: "Okay, okay, the harvest will be good when the weather is good..."

Because of the floods this year, the harvest is naturally worse than last year. The rain for more than ten days made everyone worry, but the harvest was only lost. This has made everyone very happy!
Then Yang Yizhi went to the threshing ground again, fearing that he would fall again, the people who saw him hurriedly dropped their work and helped him up the slope, and then he sat on the threshing ground by himself while watching everyone busy, chatting with everyone at the same time .If anyone did something wrong, or didn't take care of anything, he didn't forget to remind him.

People who work hard are like this. They don't have a moment to relax. Even if their hands and feet can't do it, they have to work hard with their mouths, so that they will feel happy and at ease.

And Wang Qingshan's family not only had a happy event this year, but also had an extra labor force. His newly married daughter-in-law, Ge Jinlan, got up earlier than his mother every day. She not only cooked, but also went to work in the fields with everyone. He is also very strong, and he carried the lou valley from the threshing ground all the way back home without resting.It seems to be a regular job at home.

The small mouth is sweet, and there is a mother and a father on the left. Changshou mother's heart is full of joy when she shouts, and it makes others envious.

Once Ge Jinlan came down from the threshing floor and went to the Wanwan stall to buy a bowl of ice powder.I've seen Wan Wan twice, from a distance, but Ge Jinlan never met Wan Wan face to face.As soon as he arrived at the stall, he talked to Wanwan familiarly: "Sister-in-law, is the business going well? Give me a bowl of ice powder to relieve the heat."

Wanwan also responded with a smile, and quickly scooped up a bowl for her.Then Ge Jinlan talked to her while sitting next to her and eating.

"Sister-in-law, have you collected the grain from your family?"

"Yes, how about you?"

"Our family still has two fields. It is convenient for your family to have cattle. You can grind the rice directly when you take it back. It is troublesome to have no cattle. You have to wait until someone else is free to hire them."

Wanwan was slightly surprised at the time. This person knew that their family had cattle after meeting him. He must have heard Wang Qingshan tell her about it at home, and she was the only one in the village selling ice powder here, so it was easy to recognize.

At this time, I heard Ge Jinlan say again: "However, Qingshan is very good at weaving betel, and now more people buy it than before. A big family even ordered a lot of small betel baskets from him. When the family has more money, we will Then go and buy a cow."

She ate the last bit of ice powder in the bowl, then returned the bowl to Wanwan, and said with a smile, "This ice powder is really good. After eating a bowl, I feel much cooler."

Wan Wan picked up the bowl, then picked up the spoon: "Would you like some more?"

Ge Jinlan hurriedly waved her hands: "No, thank you sister-in-law." After speaking, she picked up her shoulders and said to Wanwan with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you are really capable! If you need help in the future, just tell me."

Wanwan watched Ge Jinlan return home, then sat down, and thought carefully, this woman is not only eloquent, but also thoughtful!However, the words just now did not sound offensive.Straightforward and crisp.

And in another family of Youxi, Wang Baoshan's family, they are relatively tired this year.Meizi has been pregnant for almost four months. The three of Wang Baoshan went out to work in the field. Meizi was at home helping pick vegetables and cooking. People haven't said anything yet.

Later, when Baoshanniang saw Meizi washing dishes and beating her waist in the kitchen, she knew that she must be tired, and she never let her do it since then.At most, let her sit and help wash the vegetables and so on. Baoshan Niang goes out to work every morning, and at noon, because she is afraid that Meizi will be cooking at home, she has to rush home. Let her do the dishes.Wait until the house is packed before going out.This makes the work in the field much slower.

However, the two elders have long been looking forward to holding a grandson, so they don't care about the fatigue.Meizi was very embarrassed. Not only did she not help, but she also caused trouble for the family.

Later, Wanwan persuaded her: "Since they are worried about you, you should just stop doing it and help them do some light and not tiring work, so that they can work in the field without worrying about you all the time. manual labor."

But Wanwan's mother's rice was late, and no one came after the rice harvest for a while, Wanwan thought her mother would definitely not come, but one afternoon, Wang Yuansheng came.

"The rice at home is all cut, my father's legs are inconvenient, and my mother's back hurts and I can't use it, so let me let my brother-in-law drive the cattle back to help grind the rice..."

Then the next day, Baishou drove the ox cart back, and Wanwan stayed at home to continue setting up a stall. Baishou didn't come back until evening. She had already boiled hot water, and the two of them lay on the bed after Baishou finished taking a shower. say.

"Have you worked hard today?"

"Fortunately, father and mother have cut the rice early. It is too tiring for the two of them to grind. Those who have cattle in the village are hired every day, so they come to us... More than half of the rice is milled today, and we have to go there tomorrow. Come on, in fact, we should have gone to help earlier..."

Bai Shou was originally a filial son. In the past, Wanwan's parents didn't like him, but now that they treat him better, he always thinks of him in every way.

Wanwan took his hand and rubbed his fingers lightly for him, while asking him: "Then you went out after lunch and didn't take a break?"

"No rest, why rest!" If the threshing ground is not spacious enough, and several houses are in use at the same time, the space is limited, and he can pull faster today, maybe he won't have to go tomorrow.

Hearing his tone, he seemed to be in a good mood there.So Wanwan took advantage of the opportunity to squeeze his shoulders for him, and asked him tentatively: "Hey, did Xiang Wuniang cook anything delicious?"

Mentioning these hundred poems, she grinned: "My mother went to the market early in the morning and cut a piece of meat, and asked me what I like to eat, so I told her that anything is fine, and then her pickled vegetables were mixed with sliced ​​fatty meat. Fried, hey, daughter-in-law, it's quite delicious!"

"Really, then I'll cook it for you some other day!" Wanwan rolled his eyes.

It seems that her parents really accepted Baishou, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The next day, Baishou went to Wangjiacun again early in the morning and came back in the afternoon.

In a blink of an eye, the rice in the field was harvested.Looking at the pile of straw in the yard, they chose an empty day, and the two of them piled up a haystack in the corner of the yard, then Wanwan picked some dry grass and dried it thoroughly, combed it, tied it up and put it away. Well, this can be used to warm the bottom of the bed when the weather gets cold.

The Mid-Autumn Festival came not long after the busy farming season.

The Mid-Autumn Festival in ancient times was much more lively than the Mid-Autumn Festival in modern times. For example, dignitaries in the capital would hold banquets and invite wine. In the palace, the emperor entertained his ministers. , the emperor took his concubines to worship the moon god and drink wine while admiring the moon.

Outside the Forbidden City, people will light lanterns or go to the river to make light boats.Of course, folks will not forget to buy moon cakes to worship the moon god.

The customs of each dynasty are somewhat different.

On the day of Mid-Autumn Festival, Wanwan and Baishou took the three of them to the market early in an ox cart. Their family celebrated by buying a piece of meat for lunch, and then went to buy some mooncakes. At that time, Baishou mentioned Wanwan's parents, so Wanwan bought a few more yuan and wrapped them up to send back to her mother's house on the way back.It's also a little bit of love from her and Baishou.

He likes candied haws in his next life, so he naturally bought a bunch, but Wanwan tricked him into having to worship the moon god at night before he could eat it, so that the moon god would bless him safe and sound.The next life is also very obedient, wrap the candied haws and put them in the back obediently.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Wan Wan Youshun bought a few snacks and three apples when she returned home. This was her first time buying fruit.And when passing through the gates of some big families, all of them are hung with red lanterns, and the festive atmosphere is stronger than that.

On the way back, she gave mooncakes to Wanwanniang, but Wanwanniang didn't expect the two of them to bring mooncakes, so she couldn't close her mouth from laughing.

After dinner in the evening, in the next life, he clamored to worship the moon god, eat moon cakes and candied haws. When the crescent moon slowly rose into the sky and turned into a bright and bright full moon, Baishou immediately moved the stool to the In the middle of the yard, Wanwan put the mooncakes that had been prepared earlier on the stool, put the unripe candied haws in a bowl on the left side, washed three apples and put them on the right side of the mooncakes.

Then put the cooked pork in the middle of the hall, Baishou knelt straight in the middle, lit the incense, while Wanwan and Laisheng knelt beside them, and they started to help burn the money paper.

After worshiping their ancestors, the three of them knelt in the middle of the yard again, put their hands together, looked at the bright moon in the sky devoutly, closed their eyes and began to pray silently in their hearts.Some people will read out their wishes softly, "I hope the moon god can bless the family safe..." and so on.

After praying silently in their hearts, the three kowtowed three times. When they got up, they couldn't wait to eat candied haws in the next life. Take out a small pot of rice wine and set it up.Only then did he give the candied haws in the bowl to the next life, and the next life immediately sat beside him with a smile and began to eat happily.

And Wanwan poured a bowl of rice wine for her and Baishou each, took a piece of moon cake and broke it in half, gave half to Baishou, and looked at him with a smile: "Let's enjoy the moon, drink wine and eat moon cakes today!"

Bai Shou looked at Wan Wan's bright eyes, their piercing eyes were even more radiant, and the two raised their bowls and touched each other lightly, their clear and clear voices became even more melodious and melodious in this beautiful moonlit night.

"Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!"

"Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!"

The two of them drank wine and ate moon cakes, and talked about the beauty. They only drank one bowl from a small pot of rice wine, and Bai Shou drank the rest.In the next life, I don't like this thing, I only care about eating.

The three of them sat in the courtyard for an hour, the moon was already in the sky, the village was quiet, only the small courtyard at the end of the village still had some whispers.Just when the two of them were packing up their things and preparing to go back to the house to rest, Wanwan suddenly felt dizzy and fell down!
