38. Inexplicable!

About ten minutes later, Xiang Jin picked up a pair of chopsticks and picked out a vermicelli. She found that the vermicelli had softened, and then she took it out.

Then she passed another stream of cold water, and after the moisture on the vermicelli was dried, she poured it into a large, cleaned enamel basin, then put in the thin cucumber slices she had cut before, and the salt.

Mix the soy sauce vinegar, chili oil, onion rings and minced garlic evenly.

Looking at the large pot of cold vermicelli that smelled delicious, Xiang Nan said, "Sister, did you mix too much?"

"It's a bit too much, the first time I put more fans," Xiang Jin glanced sideways at her, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, then he took a bowl, put a few chopsticks in it, and handed it to her.

"Try it and see if it tastes right?"

The little girl's eyes suddenly lit up, she nodded her head a few times "Hmm, huh, huh", then took the bowl and chopsticks over without politeness, and started eating.

"Yeah, yeah, delicious, delicious!"

Xiang Jin asked, "Is it salty?"

“Not salty!”

"Is it spicy?"

"not spicy!"

"Is that sour?"

“Not sour! Everything is just right!”

Xiang Jin nodded, then took a fence to cover the basin, and then told Xiang Nan to cook the pot properly after finishing eating, while she went to Ma Di Den'er to take a look, and called them back for dinner.

When Xiang Jin passed by the door of Mr. Zeng's house, he happened to meet Yan Chen who was about to go out. He saw the drawing board he was carrying behind him, so he said hello politely.

"Go out to sketch?"

Yan Chen glanced sideways at the drawing board he was carrying and nodded slightly, "Well, let's go out for a walk and breathe some fresh air. Are you going out so early?"

Xiang Jin pointed in the direction of Huangye Bay and said, "Tell my mother and the others to go home for dinner."

Yan Chen nodded slightly again, and then the two of them stopped talking.

Yan Chen gave way to her and motioned for her to go first. Xiang Jin was not polite and walked directly in front, but she was thinking in her heart: The children of this rich family are good. They have been able to be morally, intellectually and physically beautiful since they were young.

Lao comprehensive training.

Look, she is as old as others, and she is still struggling to build a house, worry about making a living, and work hard, but she can play with such elegant things as painting. She really doesn't know what it's like to be a teenager.

envious!

The two of them were walking on the same road, one behind the other, when suddenly they were blocked by a figure.

The other person was a woman, carrying a basket on her back and an empty basin. There were some ashes similar to phosphate fertilizer stuck to the empty basin. She must have gone to topdress the crop fields because it rained last night.

Xiang Jin moved his eyes to the other person's face and found that his age was estimated to be around thirty-seven or eighty-eight years old. He was rather tall and strong, visually estimated to be over 1.65 meters tall and about 1,560 pounds.

But Xiang Jin didn't know her, so he just looked at her intently and didn't say hello to her.

Because she didn't know what the other person's seniority was like in the bay, so if she called the other person rashly, and if she called the other person by mistake...it seemed wrong!

Xiang Jin didn't speak, but the other party did.

"Xiang Jin, you said it's true that your family is building a house. In the early morning, before the sky was even bright, there was a tinkling sound. God finally made it rain.

Everyone wanted to take advantage of the cool weather to have a good sleep, but they were woken up by the sound of pecking stones at your house."

After saying that, she didn't wait for Xiang Jin to respond, and just passed by Xiang Jin and the others with the fertilizer basin in her hand.

I don't know if she did it intentionally or not, but when she passed by Xiang Jin, she bumped into Xiang Jin's shoulder. Xiang Jin staggered and took two steps back. It was Yan Chen who helped her.

Just stood still.

After thanking Xiang Jin, he glanced at the figure that had passed by but was more than ten feet away from them, then sneered slightly, and then continued walking forward.

baffling!

Yan Chen saw obvious contempt and disdain from the way she looked at the aunt just now, with a look of scorn. Suddenly, he felt that this was an extremely proud girl, the kind of girl who was soaked in her bones.

, even if she is in adversity, she will not be reduced in the slightest.

When Xiang Jin arrived at the place, she found that her grandparents, as well as her aunts and uncles, were also here. Her heart suddenly jumped, and she was a little worried whether the rice they cooked was enough.

But fortunately, her cold vermicelli mix is ​​still more, even if it is not enough, it should not be much different.

Besides, they can order more noodles then.

So she walked closer to say hello to them, and then she saw Aunt Liao also helping. She thought she had gone to kill pigweed.

She called them back to eat, but no one moved. They said they wanted to work more while the weather was cool, otherwise it would be bad when the sun came out. It rained heavily last night, and the ground was wet today.

The humidity will be extremely high.

So Xiang Jin also joined in the work. Unlike them who were moving big rocks, she moved small stones, piece by piece from the smashed stone pit to the outside, going back and forth again and again.

Running around.

Yan Chen sat on a large dry stone under a big cypress tree in the back mountain, taking in everything he saw, so he picked up the drawing board and started painting seriously.

He wanted to draw the smoky but not particularly high mountains in the distance, the green fields nearby, and the group of enthusiastic people working tirelessly below the mountains into his painting.

About an hour later, the sun girl came out through the thick clouds, and the sun became more and more intense. Xiang Jin was already sweating from the heat, and his face was red.

Yang Juyun asked her to go back, but Xiang Jin still wanted to stay here for a while. As a rural person, she couldn't be so afraid of the heat all the time. She had to break this taboo and overcome this weakness of hers.

Yang Juyun said, "Looking at this situation, they want to continue working for a while. You go back and stir-fry some more meat and vegetables to make the food more solid. Don't let people work hard and not have enough food."

Xiang Jin thought about it, so she agreed to her mother's instructions.

After returning home, Xiang Jin first went to the kitchen to open the lid of the pot and check the amount of rice. The final result was indeed a little less, but fortunately the rice was a little dry.

So Xiang Jin asked Xiang Nan to boil some water, and then added the boiling water to the porridge, and then used a spoon to push it back and forth a few times. The previous porridge and the boiling water were evenly mixed, and all of a sudden the rice in the pot was

Just added a few scoops.

Then Xiang Jin hurriedly picked up a few large eggplants, washed them, cut them into pieces, and pulled a piece of meat from the well and cut it into thin slices to make a stir-fried eggplant.

After that, she asked Xiang Nan to stay at home and wait for her mothers to come back, while she directly picked up the bamboo pole and went to the fields to cut pigweed.

Yan Chen came down from the mountain and saw her again. He suddenly realized that she seemed to be working every time he met her. At the same time, he also felt that she was a very hard-working and hard-working girl.

Xiang Jin didn't see Yan Chen because she always had her back to him. Yan Chen walked silently along the path beside the land with the drawing board on his back.

After cutting the pigweed and going back, the sun has risen very high, and there is no longer a cool wind in the air, and it has begun to become hot again.

Xiang Jin pulled up a small stool, chopped up a large pot of pigweed, mixed it with wheat bran, and took two dustpans to feed the pigs in the pen.

After washing their hands, it took more than ten minutes before her mother and her group came back from outside.

Xiang Jin hurried to the kitchen to scoop out the rice, and then asked Xiang Nan to bring the rice. Fortunately, it took some time for the rice to be ready. Although it was still hot, it didn't taste hot to the mouth.

After eating, the craftsmen went back directly. Xiang Jin found out from her mother that the craftsmen had told her mother that out of consideration for the hot weather, they would work every day from now on.

If you come early and only do half-day's work, they won't do half-day's work in the afternoon, and they will only charge half of the labor price.

Xiang Jin didn't have any objections to this. After all, it was now a scorching summer. If others had to work for a whole day, it would be troublesome to get sick due to the heat.

Therefore, it is better to be slow and steady.

After Xiang Jin and her grandparents met, they said they wanted to go back. No matter how much Xiang Jin, mother and daughter tried to persuade them to stay and play all afternoon, they just didn't agree.

Finally I had to send them out.
