In the afternoon, Ye Mo helped clean up the house.
Xiao Mian had a big casserole at home. After four o'clock, Ye Mo washed the casserole, washed the ham... and started to simmer.
Xiaomian's parents will plant more rice this year, covering more than three acres.
Last year we raised rice and shrimp together, this year we only grow rice and no crayfish.
They can't make much money growing rice here.
Each household owns too little land. For example, Xiaomian's family only has more than three acres of land, all of which is planted with rice, with an estimated yield of four thousand kilograms.
Fertilizer money, harvester money
The current price of millet has also increased, reaching RMB 1.7 per catty.
After deducting expenses, I can have an income of four to five thousand.
how to say.
Even if there is a harvester to harvest the millet, it is very tiring when drying the millet. But with an income of several thousand yuan, it is still okay for ordinary families.
Nowadays, there are very few rural families and pure farming families.
It's past six o'clock.
Ham is still cooking in the casserole, and the aroma is so permeating that you can smell it from a distance.
"What are you cooking? It smells so good." Lin Xiaolin walked in and said.
"We're cooking ham." Lin Xiaomian said, bringing the watermelon over.
"The watermelon grown by my brother-in-law?" Lin Xiaolin took a bite. The black-skinned watermelon was so sweet.
Lin Xiaomian nodded and continued peeling the winter melon.
"Xiao Lin." Ye Mo walked out of the kitchen and handed Lin Xiaolin a cigarette with a smile.
"You want to call me second brother." Lin Xiaolin took the cigarette.
Ye Mo smiled.
"The watermelons over there have been sold out?" Lin Xiaolin said.
"Um.'
"I also said that I would buy some from you when I have time and bring it back to eat.
Lin Xiaomian pointed to the living room: "Over there, you can take a few back later.
Lin Xiaolin looked over and said with a smile: "Thank you.
"Sheep." Wang Rong shouted outside.
"Hey." Lin Xiaomian responded: "Come in."
"Are you cooking ham?" Wang Rong could smell the aroma from outside.
"Yeah." Lin Xiaomian pointed to the watermelon on the table: "Eat the watermelon."
"I want to eat ham." Wang Rong said with a smile: "I can smell the aroma from a long way away. What kind of ham are you cooking?"
“Xuanwei Ham.
Lin Xiaolin cut a piece for Wang Rong and said to Lin Xiaomian: "By the way, let me formally introduce you to Wang Rong... you will call her second sister-in-law from now on."
Lin Xiaomian raised her head and twitched the corner of her mouth slightly: "Second sister-in-law?'
"Oh." Wang Rong chuckled: "Just call me Rong'er.
Lin Xiaomian rolled her eyes at her: "When did it happen, please inform me now.
"A few days ago, your second brother suddenly confessed to me." Wang Rong said with a smile.
Lin Xiaomian cut the winter melon and handed it to Ye Mo.
Ye Mo took the winter melon to the kitchen and cut it into pieces
The ham in the casserole had been stewed for more than two hours. Ye Mo took out the ham and boiled the winter melon in the ham broth.
Ye Mo stewed 5 packs of ham. The simmering time was long enough and it was very fragrant.
Ye Mo cut a piece of fatty meat. The ham meat had been completely softened. The ham skin was super fragrant. The fatty meat had a fat aroma. The lean meat was salty and had a strong ham flavor.
Ye Mo cut up the ham and ate it secretly.
Lin Xiaomian also came in and ate a few pieces: "It's delicious."
"Yeah. Let's go to Xuanwei another day and buy a few more." Ye Mo said.
"It's time to eat." Lin Xiaomian took out the cut ham.
Ye Mo poured the winter melon out of the casserole. The winter melon had absorbed the ham soup and had a slightly salty taste, which was particularly fresh and had a strong ham flavor.
The winter melon cooked in ham soup is also a must-have.
"How much does this ham cost per pound?" Lin Xiaolin asked.
"It costs 60 yuan per catty," Lin Xiaomian said.
"It's so expensive.
Ye Mo ate a piece of fatty meat and said, "It might be cheaper if you buy it locally."
Among hams, the golden leg is probably the cheaper part.
For 10 kilograms of money, there is quite a lot of meat when cooked.
It's enough food for eight people.
The ham is delicious, and the winter melon has absorbed the ham soup and tastes even better.
Although there are only two dishes in the evening, it is still a luxurious meal.
the next day.
Ye Mo drove a car and went to Liangcheng with Lin Xiaomian.
Chuncheng is relatively small. It used to be a county in Liangcheng, but was upgraded to a city in recent years.
Liangcheng is relatively large and has many people.
When you are getting married, you need to prepare a wedding ring.
My head was feeling dizzy before. When I was buying a car in Huacheng that day, Ye Mo even thought about buying a wedding ring, but he forgot about it.
"Just give me a ring, don't buy something too expensive." Lin Xiaomian said, "Things like diamonds are just for deceiving little girls.
“Buying artificial diamonds?’
"Man-made diamonds and natural diamonds are made of the same material. When buying a wedding ring, just choose a good-looking one." Lin Xiaomian said. There is no point in buying a diamond ring that is too expensive.
Living in a rural area, it is impossible to wear a wedding ring... with diamonds. If you want to buy an expensive ring, it is better to buy a beautiful necklace or earrings.
"However, I also want a necklace and earrings." Lin Xiaomian looked at Ye Mo and smiled cutely.
"Yeah. Go to the store and choose what you like."
Ye Mo had only been to Liangcheng a few times. He found a store that specialized in selling gold jewelry and went in to choose a pair of wedding rings. More than three thousand yuan was not cheap.
It's a wedding ring after all
Then I chose a necklace and a pair of earrings.
Lin Xiaomian had some trouble choosing things. She spent more than half an hour looking at them in the store.
After leaving the jewelry store, the two of them went shopping and bought clothes.
Getting a marriage certificate is not a wedding, you also have to dress beautifully.
Lin Xiaomian had not been out shopping for a long time, so she was very excited and took Ye Mo around.
In the afternoon, Ye Mo excused himself to go to the bathroom and let Lin Xiaomian go shopping by himself. He secretly went out and bought a large bouquet of roses.
There are so many mountains on the way back.
When Ye Mo came in the morning, he paid attention to the scenery along the way. When he returned, Ye Mo drove the car to the river beach.
"Where to go?" Lin Xiaomian asked.
Ye Mo parked the car at the river beach and went out to open the trunk...
The pebble beach of the small river is very spacious. Across the river is a large mountain with beautiful scenery.
"What are you doing?" Lin Xiaomian also came out and saw Ye Mo taking out a bouquet of roses from the trunk, suddenly kneeling on one knee and holding a ring in the other hand.
Seeing this, Lin Xiaomian was a little stunned. It was funny and touching.
Ye Mo was brave, more or less, a little embarrassed. After looking around to make sure there was no one around, he shouted: "Lin Xiaomian, marry me."
Lin Xiaomian clicked on the computer heavily and stretched out her hand.
Ye Mo took out the ring and put it on her hand. When Ye Mo stood up, she threw herself into his arms: "When did you buy the flowers?"
"In the afternoon, when I said you were tired and asked you to go shopping by yourself," Ye Mo said.
Lin Xiaomian gently patted Ye Mo a few times. His eyes were so moved that he hugged Ye Mo tightly: "I thought there was no proposal involved."
