At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, when the sun was not so strong, the little guy said he wanted to go out and play. Li Rong called the two older ones and told them to stop doing homework. They had been doing it all day and went out for a walk to relax their heads.
The second aunt was a college student, and the two men thought that what she said made sense. Once they lost the pen, they wouldn't take it away. They slipped off the kang and shouted: "Let's go out and play!"
It was said that Li Rong took them out to play, but in fact it was these little ones who were running wild. Li Rong just followed behind: "Don't run so fast, watch the road!"
The little guy used his short legs to run and make fun with people. When they reached the end of the village, they stopped running.
There are many children at the end of the village playing with slingshots and marbles, and there is also a little girl playing with sandbags.
These very simple childhood play atmospheres were extremely rare for Li Rong. Several children joined the team to play, and she sat at the entrance of the canteen.
There were several small benches there, and it was cool in autumn. She sat at the door and blew in the breeze, which was very comfortable.
When it was almost time for dinner, Li Rong was ready to leave. She walked over and called the little guy: "An'an, mommy is going home. Do you want to continue playing with your brothers, or go home with mommy?"
The little guy glanced at Li Rong, then looked at his friend reluctantly, and made a seemingly difficult decision: "Mom, I want to continue playing."
"Then you have fun." Li Rong said to Daniel, "Keep an eye on my brother."
It's almost five o'clock, and there are not many people on the road. Two years ago, at this moment, it would have been the villagers getting off work.
Now we all do it ourselves, and the food we grow belongs to us. Those who work hard don't go home until dark.
Both Zhao Qingyang brothers have their own businesses. Father Zhao decided that it would be enough to grow enough grain to eat. He did not plant a lot, only one or two acres of land. When it was time to plant and harvest, Zhao Qingsong and the others came back to help, and they were quite busy.
.
Now is the wheat planting season, and the village is busy sowing.
After Zhao Qingsong got back from getting his fertilizer, he went home and planted the wheat first.
I only found out this after chatting with Zhao Qingsong. Li Rong is from the south and only knows how to grow rice. She doesn't know how to grow wheat. Zhao's mother didn't ask her to go, so she cooked the rice at home.
There were so many people at home that the food from last night could not be saved tonight. Li Rong was still thinking about what to cook tonight. When she got home, she found that He Xing had already bought the food.
However, He Xing was not seen, so Li Rong thought she must be resting. Today, Daniel was not going out to help, so the two of them had to do all the work.
Li Rong washed her hands, washed the rice and put it in the pot to cook.
In fact, Dajiang Village grows wheat locally and eats a lot of pasta. However, Li Rong is from the south. When she first came here, she ate a lot of rice, so she had a lot of rice at home.
Usually when Li Rong is not at home, Zhao's mother often makes pasta. When Li Rong is at home, she seems to cook more rice.
He Xing was not stingy when buying vegetables. He bought some pork and chicken. Li Rong put the chicken in to stew the soup first.
I went to cut sausages and fry corn again, but before dinner was ready, Zhao Qingsong came back.
As soon as he entered the yard, he called his wife. Li Rong became anxious when he heard him calling. She thought something was wrong, so she walked out carrying a spatula: "What's wrong?"
Zhao Qingsong raised the net bag in his hand: "Look, what is this?"
"Hey! Crab!" Li Rong was surprised, "Where did you get it?"
"When I came back from hauling fertilizer, I saw it at the corner of the street. There was a man shouting! It was said that it had just been brought from the city next door in the morning. It looked fresh to me. Thinking that you like to eat it, I bought it!"
City C is near the sea. Li Rong's eyebrows were raised and she said, "You are really good at it. Put it somewhere. After I finish frying this dish, I will brush the crabs and put them in to steam them."
Zhao Qingsong waved his hand: "I'll do it."
After Li Rong finished frying the vegetables, Zhao Qingsong also finished brushing the crabs.
Put Li Rong in the steamer, throw all the crabs in, and just watch the fire.
Zhao Qingsong was pulling fertilizer and moving things today. The smell of sweat mixed with the smell of fertilizer was really unpleasant.
Li Rong sent him to take a bath so he could feel refreshed for dinner later.
Normally, Zhao Qingsong would definitely not want to take a shower. He felt that he would sweat even after eating, so the shower would be in vain. But now that his wife called him, Zhao Qingsong didn't even think about it: "Okay!"
The crabs are still steaming, and He Xing is getting up.
She walked into the kitchen and said with some embarrassment: "When I came back, I planned to sit down and cook for a while, but unexpectedly I fell asleep."
"Hey, I'm not tired of cooking." Li Rong opened the pot and looked at it. The crabs were bright yellow and looked ripe.
He Xing glanced at it and stared slightly: "Why is this crab so big?"
She had only seen the small crabs in the fields, but this was the first time she had seen such a big crab.
"This is a swimming crab, a type of sea crab. You will know when you taste it later. This crab paste is very plump!" Li Rong consciously licked her lower lip, and her mouth was already watering just imagining it.
"Sea crab? Oh my God! Where did you get it?"
"Zhao Qingsong bought it in the county town. He said he brought it from the city next door early in the morning."
"I'll have to try it later. I haven't eaten sea crabs yet!"
There was only one crab missing, and Li Rong took the opportunity to bring the other dishes to the dining table. He Xing counted the bowls and chopsticks, put them on the table, and finally found something to do.
Father Zhao and mother Zhao came back with a hoe and shovel on their backs. Zhao Qingyang was also covered in mud. He must have gone to the fields to help with the work after he came back, followed by three children who were sweating profusely from playing.
The little ones were humming, their faces were red, and they were sweating profusely from playing.
Li Rong smiled: "Look at the sweat, I have to wash my hair again tonight, otherwise An'an will smell bad."
When Li Rong said this, the little guy felt shy and whispered that he was thirsty.
Li Rong poured him a cup of boiled water: "Just drink half a cup. I'm ready to eat. I'm stewing chicken soup tonight."
I went to get a wet towel and wring it out, wiped the little guy's face and neck, washed his hands and told him to eat.
Father Zhao saw a plate of golden crabs on the dinner table and was stunned for a moment: "Where can you find such a big crab?"
"Zhao Qingsong bought it in the county. He said it was sea crab brought from City C next door. Try it. The crab paste is very fat." Li Rong pried open one and put it in the little boy's bowl, saying to Father Zhao.
Zhao's mother had eaten crabs like this in the capital before. She joked with Zhao's father with a smile: "Where else can I touch it? This is fished from the sea!"
Father Zhao rubbed his hands: "Have you never seen this before?"
Li Rong pried open one, and simply helped to pry open everything in the bowl. She didn't care about the big one. She picked a big one from the other two small ones and put them in the bowl: "Eat quickly, the scraped crab roe mixed with rice is very fragrant."
.”
I bought crabs one for each person, but if you look at the crabs, they didn’t even taste it, so they were gone!
At night, when the little one fell asleep, Zhao Qingsong hugged him again.
After finishing the work, Li Rong complained to Zhao Qingsong: "I have worked all day during the day, but I still have so much energy at night."
