Chapter 89 Catch the rice flowers and eat black jelly(1/2)

The night was dark, the moon was shining brightly, and fireflies were flying from a distance.

"Sir, look, there are a lot of fireflies flying in from outside!" Liu Yun looked like he had never seen the world before, swooping in the direction of the fireflies.

"We see them often, it's so rare and strange!" Qin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, turned her head and noticed Wan Jiaxing's similarly surprised look, so she shut up and lay down, closing her eyes to rest.

Liuyun kept jumping up to touch the fireflies, and the laughter spread through it, making people unable to help themselves.

Wan Jiaxing was aroused and ran over to chase the fireflies.

The two teenagers in the yard were like wild horses, chasing beautiful things happily.

"Ms. sir, these two kids are so funny!" Zhu Qingqing smiled slightly, stretched out her hand to touch Leng Zhengsheng's cold hand and looked over.

The sadness in Leng Shengsheng's eyes made her heart tighten. He must have recalled something sad.

She held his hand with both hands, letting the warmth from her hand pass through, and looked at him softly.

"Mr. Sir, I will soon be able to learn sign language. I can understand what you want to say, and I will work with you to accomplish what you want."

How could such a gentle and sensible woman not be loved?

Leng Chongsheng smiled and took away his hand to rub Zhu Qingqing's cheek.

This means that he will pamper her until she grows old.

"Uncle and aunt, I know you two have a good relationship, but there is no need for you to be affectionate in front of us. It makes me want to get married."

Qin Xiaoxiao opened her eyes, ate some dog food, and then teased them.

"Xiaoxiao, you are still young and can't get married yet!" Zhu Qingqing turned her gaze to Qin Xiaoxiao and gestured with her eyes to Wan Jiaxing running in front, "But, we can settle on the person first, so we don't have to in the future.

I’m worried that I won’t find a good home!”

"No, no, no, the rules of a wealthy family are stricter than you think. Now that I am used to living a free life in the countryside, how could I ever think of returning to a cage to be a canary?"

Qin Xiaoxiao has a plan in her heart. When she gets married, she must accept her shortcomings and give her freedom. She will not consider a rich kid like Wan Jiaxing.

"You always have to think about your life-long affairs. How can you live in Lishuping all your life? If you marry someone from a good family, you can have enough food and clothing. If you want to sleep until the sun is high, no one will say anything about you.

What."

Zhu Qingqing knew that Qin Xiaoxiao was different from her, so she hoped that she could marry into a rich family and enjoy a happy life.

"Auntie, you really don't understand wealthy families. Just like my previous family, when the rooster crows at three o'clock every day, you have to get up and dress up."

"So early?" Zhu Qingqing was frightened.

"Yes, my mother-in-law will put down the attic ladder and let me go down to kowtow to my grandparents and parents. I will have some breakfast with them and then go back to the attic to study music, chess, calligraphy and painting."

Zhu Qingqing grabbed Qin Xiaoxiao's hand and said, "That's too pitiful."

"No, my mother comes to check my study level every day before going to bed. If I don't study well, she will hit my palm."

Thinking of this, Qin Xiaoxiao burst into tears. It was really hard back then.

"That was when I was a girl. I am much more comfortable now that I am a young lady." Zhu Qingqing's self-understanding is simple.

"Auntie, the life of a young lady from a wealthy family is even more demanding than Xiaoxiao's previous life." Leng Yingchun explained, "What to wear? What to eat? What kind of posture to walk? What time to do? Who to visit and what to bring are all determined.

You must be clear. If you do something bad, you will be scolded by your parents-in-law. It is common for you to be imprisoned in solitary confinement and copy family rules. If you cannot give birth to a son, you may even take the initiative to take a concubine for your husband..."

After listening to Leng Yingchun's words, Zhu Qingqing let go of Qin Xiaoxiao's hand and tightly held Leng Zhengsheng's hand.

She is grateful that the family she married into does not have so many demands and she likes her current life.

"Don't say it's over, welcome to the Spring Festival, I'm a little hungry now!" Qin Xiaoxiao touched her stomach.

Qin Xiaoxiao has always wanted to eat since Leng Yingchun made pig noodles as a midnight snack the night before yesterday.

"Okay, I'm going to make some food!" Leng Yingchun stood up and held down the arm of Zhu Qingqing, who had just stood up. "Auntie, it's better to sit down and accompany uncle. I'll make it soon."

Zhu Qingqing was flattered. She had never tried the scene of waiting for food.

"Aunt, there will be many situations like this. You have to learn to adapt. This is your natal family no longer. You don't have to compromise and face your stepmother anymore." Qin Xiaoxiao raised her eyes.

"I will try my best to adapt." Zhu Qingqing nodded heavily, "I can't go back to my parents' home. This is my home, and you are all my relatives!"

"It's great if Auntie can think like this!" Leng Yingchun went to the kitchen to make delicious food for everyone.

When she saw the fairy grass, she wanted to make black jelly for everyone and make it tonight.

Sprinkle some plant ash, it will solidify quickly, put it in the well water to freeze, and take some sugar from the space of the jade finger that you saved when buying groceries. It is most suitable to eat in this hot summer season.

She was busy in the kitchen, and the people outside didn't stop either. They were all chatting about the stars in the sky.

After Leng Yingchun made the black jelly, she made seven bowls of cold noodles and brought them out.

Qin Xiaoxiao and Leng Yinghuan ate without ceremony.

Leng Shengsheng did not dare to eat it for fear of affecting the stomach and intestines.

Wan Jiaxing and Liu Yun stopped chasing fireflies and ate cold noodles for the first time, but they thought they tasted pretty good.

"Wan Jiaxing, this is the first show of Yingchun's cooking skills in front of you. If you stay for a few days, you will be able to taste a lot of delicious food. You will definitely not suffer any loss on this trip!"

Qin Xiaoxiao said while eating that Wan Jiaxing was looking forward to it.

In the dead of night, Leng Yingchun urged everyone to go to bed. They could sleep a little later tomorrow and wait for the sun to come out and dry the dew on the plants to catch the rice flowers.

Master Wanjiaxing had never been to the fields before, and he was so excited that he couldn't sleep, so he fell asleep in the early hours of the morning.

In the end, they overslept. The sun was already very high, but it was Qin Xiaoxiao who woke them up.

After they washed up and walked out, they saw rice rolls on the table and wondered what they were.

Qin Xiaoxiao came over and taught him how to taste it. After they ate it in a hurry, they found it delicious.

Leng Yingchun saw that after Wan Jiaxing and Liu Yun finished eating rice rolls, they brought a bucket of boiled water and put on their vine hats, "Master Wan, let's go and catch the rice blossoms!"

"Hey!" Wan Jiaxing followed Leng Yingchun to the flowering rice fields.

Also following were Leng Yinghuan and Zhu Qingqing.

Qin Xiaoxiao and Leng Shengsheng went to find the master to take charge of the office.

Leng Yingchun and Leng Yinghuan walked forward holding the bamboo on each side, driving the taller male flowers under the lower female flowers.

In order to ensure that the male and female flowers were in contact with each other as much as possible, they rushed back and forth many times.

Leng Yinghuan originally thought that lifting the bamboo pole was very simple, but she did not expect that after such a lap, her arms were sore and she was so tired that she did not dare to underestimate this easy task.

Everyone else knew what to do after seeing it.

Wan Jiaxing felt that he was strong, so he asked Liu Yun and Zhu Qingqing to each hold a rope. He took a long bamboo pole to the next field, stood on the ridge of the field, grabbed one end of the bamboo pole with one hand and walked forward. After two steps, he found

It was quite strenuous, mainly because the seedlings were piled together and the stress was great.

And it had to be completed under the strong sun, which was really hard work.

Qin Xiaoxiao brought the master and ten cadres, and everyone relaxed a little.

"Xiaoxiao, isn't that the noble young master who asked you to look for you? Why would he go to the fields to help?" The master looked confused when he saw Wan Jiaxing.

"That was his own suggestion. I didn't force or induce him!" Qin Xiaoxiao pushed the master, "Don't worry about them. Just be yourselves."

"Such a strong sun can really dry people out! The hats they wear are quite interesting! But we have some too!"

After sighing with emotion, the master took out the bamboo hat from the carriage, gave it to the officials, and then joined the procession of catching rice flowers.

They know Leng Yingchun's rice fields well.

"Master, I'm sorry for calling you here to help in such a hot weather. Thank you for your hard work!" Leng Yingchun apologized when he came over.

"In the Spring Festival, we have a hand in these rice fields. After the harvest, each person must give at least a load of rice to offset all the hard work."

It’s not like the master has nothing in mind. After the rice is harvested, half of the rice can be harvested and transported to the court, which can be commended as a performance.

Secondly, you can get the rice faster than others, and your family can avoid the embarrassment of eating kudzu.

Most of those kudzu roots were given by Leng Yingchun and were taken out of the space.

"No problem, the benefits will not be less for you." Leng Yingchun answered simply and shouted to the busy Yamen, "Brother Yamen, please work harder, I will never treat you badly."

The cadre didn't answer and just kept working hard.

"Yingchun, you can definitely rest assured when we are doing our work." The master felt his mouth was dry, so he drank some water and suddenly felt full of energy.

It was already afternoon after catching up on the rice flowers, and the bucket of water was long gone. Leng Zhengsheng hadn't sent any water during this period, so it wasn't enough to drink. A group of people returned to Leng Yingchun's house hungry.

Everyone was too tired to eat, so they lay down in the shade and prepared to go to bed, planning to do other things when they woke up.

When Wan Jiaxing arrived in the room and lay down, he felt that his whole body was about to fall apart.

Liu Yun was not much better, but he was not as tired as him, so he wanted to help him rub his back, but he refused.

Leng Yingchun looked at the people lying around and picked up the black jelly that was frozen in the well, and went into the space to get the candy while no one was paying attention.

Each person has a bowl of black jelly, sprinkled with sugar.

"Come on, come on. As a reward for your hard work, I've made black jelly for you. It's ice-cold and cool. It's the best way to beat the heat."

The master was the first to get up and run over. He picked it up regardless and gave a thumbs up after tasting it.

"Yingchun, this thing you made is so delicious. The pig offal soup you brought me from the swallow ribbon last time is also delicious. My mother-in-law and children like it very much."
