Chapter 033 Cutting Rice 1 Ling Tianyang and the others have been catching grasshoppers in the field. The chicks have grown at a speed visible to the naked eye these days. The yellow fluff has fallen off and replaced with a light yellow hard coat. The effect in the field It is also very obvious that Ling Wensheng is cheerful every day. People laugh at him and say: "It's good to have more children, at least you can catch more grasshoppers!"
Two days before the autumn harvest, two important guests came to the Ling Tianyang family. Wang was very happy, and the second and third children were also very happy. It turned out that Wang's second sister knew that their family was about to harvest rice, so she brought her own The youngest son Jin Zhu came to help.
The second and third eldest children have always played well with Jin Zhu. Jin Zhu is the same age as Ling Tianyang, both fourteen years old, but Jin Zhu is fourteen days older than Ling Tianyang. It is easy for boys to play with each other. Let's go together. Jin Zhu is not tall, but he has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and is very strong. Ling Tianyang's second aunt's family is considered a wealthy family in Huashan. Their family has a lot of land, but her second aunt is warm-hearted and righteous, and many people in the village love to help her family. , their rice had been harvested long ago, so they came over to help Wang.
She was happy, but at night, Ling Tianyang couldn't be happy anymore, because their family didn't have much room for her second aunt and cousin to live in. In the inner room, Mrs. Wang, her mistress, her second aunt Wang Xiuhua, and Ling Tianyang lived in one room. The second, third, and cousin Jin Zhu lived in the outhouse. Ling Wensheng had no choice but to go upstairs and lay the floor.
Because of Wang Xiuhua's arrival, their family decided to harvest rice the next day. Ling Tianyang was responsible for cooking and feeding the pigs. Today, more than 30 chickens were brought to the field by the third child and the fourth child. It is the rice harvesting season. , almost every family brings chickens to the fields to eat the leftover rice picked up by the children, as well as the grasshoppers and insects that have not come out to hide.
After steaming the rice, Ling Tianyang went to the vegetable garden and picked some eggplants, cowpeas, cucumbers, hairy vegetables, green peppers and green onions. At home, Wang bought tofu and meat, which should be enough. Anyway, it doesn't matter which restaurant in the countryside They are all eaten like this. The difference may be whether there is meat or not. The hairy cabbage is actually scattered cabbage seeds. It can be eaten not long after they have just emerged from the ground before they grow up. The hairy greening is very tender and can be made into soup. The food is delicious. Ling Tianyang liked this food in his previous life.
While Ling Tianyang was cooking, people would carry sacks of rice back from the fields from time to time. After washing the pot, he fried a green pepper and shredded pork, cut the green pepper into small pieces, cut the meat into shreds, and cut the ginger into slices. .Put the green pepper into the pot and fry one piece first, then add oil and stir-fry the shredded pork over high heat. When the color of the shredded meat turns white, add the green pepper, then add salt, you can add some soy sauce, and when it comes out of the pot, add some green onions. Then Stir-fried eggplant with stir-fried meat, stir-fried cowpeas, a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs, cucumber salad, hairy cabbage and tofu soup are enough for the morning meal.
After cooking the rice, they haven't come back yet. Ling Tianyang still has to cook pig food. The piglets are still small now, so they have to chop the pig grass vigorously. After cooking the pig food, Ling Tianyang feeds the pigs and calls them back for dinner.
Just when Ling Tianyang was about to go out to call them, Jin Zhu came in carrying a bag of rice, "Cousin, you are back!"
"Hey, Yangyang, where are you going?" Jin Zhu asked, seeing that Ling Tianyang seemed to be going out.
"I'm going to call my dad and they're back for dinner."
"Then you don't have to go, I'll call you!" Jin Zhu put down the bag, turned around and walked out of the yard.
For a quarter of an hour, there was a lot of noise in the yard. Ling Tianyang took a look and saw that everyone was back. She quickly brought out the wooden basin and asked them to wash their hands.
Ling Tianyang's second aunt smiled and said to Ling Tianyang: "Yangyang, you are quite particular!"
Ling Tianyang smiled and said, "Second aunt, you have been tired all morning. Wouldn't it be nice to bring you some water to wash your hands and cool down your face?"
"That's right, it feels much cooler after washing your face." Wang Xiuhua poured water on her face, and the coolness made her feel extremely comfortable.
