Spring scenery in the fields

Chapter 152 Rest and Eating

"Aunt Wang, look at what you are saying. What's the point of taking advantage? If you don't want to eat, I won't force you."

Seeing this, she immediately smiled and replied: "Le Yi, your cooking skills are great, I have to try two pieces anyway."

"Two pieces are not enough. Try a few more. Take a look at the spicy and sour cucumber I made. It's crisp and refreshing, and goes well with rice."

Ji Wenhe greeted the others: "Aunt Lan, Uncle Shen, and Qingdai, you are all welcome."

Miao Zhaodi came over with the food and said with a smile, "You all have eaten."

“Sister Miao, isn’t your husband at home? It’s not like he can’t move. Let him cook at home.”

Wang Erfeng watched her running around with heartache, going back home to cook at noon and take care of the one at home.

"Don't spoil your family too much. You and Shen Liang are working in the fields planting rice and are exhausted. He does nothing at home. Why can't he help with cooking?"

Miao Zhaodi waved her hands, feeling helpless: "Erfeng, I won't say any more. It's annoying. Let's eat."

She understood that Wang Erfeng was standing up for her, but there were some things that outsiders could not control.

How could she not be angry all these years? Yes, but there was nothing she could do, because he was her man, the father of her child.

As long as he stayed at home quietly and didn't cause any trouble for her, she would be very lucky.

"Aunt Miao, please try the dish I cooked." Ji Wenhe sat next to Shen Rongshan, "I added chili peppers, I wonder if you can get used to it."

Several people tasted a piece, and Shen Qingdai praised: "Sister-in-law, it's really delicious, even better than the food made by the busy cook."

Others also praised him.

"You guys are exaggerating. How can I compare with other chefs? In fact, if you are willing to use more oil and spices, your dishes will taste good too."

Shen Suya agreed: "The biggest difference between the dishes cooked by our families and those cooked by my sister-in-law is that my sister-in-law is willing to use more oil."

"Not really." Shen Anguo took over the conversation, "If we are willing to put in oil and spices, our mother's cooking skills won't produce this flavor."

Everyone laughed.

Lan Qiuhua reached out and patted his head, then suddenly asked, "Erfeng, where is your mother-in-law?"

Shen Qingdai replied: "Grandma is pulling rice seedlings in the field. She said we can go back and eat later. There is rice left in the pot."

Ji Wenhe looked up and saw several people pulling rice seedlings in the dry land. Even in the middle of the day, they didn't feel hot at all.

Shen Rongshan ate a bowl of rice and then picked up another bowl. He ate very quickly and finished his second bowl while the others had not yet finished their first bowl.

Each household bought a small amount of meat. The fatty meat was cooked with wild vegetables or dried bamboo shoots, but not much, just a few chopsticks of meat.

Moreover, the meat has been marinated to remove the fat and water, so it is more like fat residue than meat.

Fortunately there weren't many people, otherwise there wouldn't be enough meat in the bowl for everyone to share.

Shen Rongshan didn't eat much, so I'll give him a snack when we get home tonight.

"Brother Shen, have you finished drinking the water in the pottery jar?"

"Finished."

Ji Wenhe supported himself on his knees and stood up: "The hot water is boiling in the pot. I'll go back and get a can of water."

They all like to drink raw water.

The water flowing down from the mountain looked clean, but she was worried that there were a lot of bacteria in it, so she asked them to boil the water and let it cool down before drinking it.

As soon as she left, Wang Erfeng whispered to Shen Rongshan: "Rongshan, your wife is really good."

She pointed at the two bowls of food in the basket and said, "If this delicious food were placed in someone else's house, who would be willing to share it with everyone else?"

After finishing the fried pork with dried bamboo shoots, the bottom of the bowl was covered with oil.

There is also smashed cucumber, which is made with vinegar and soy sauce, and the vinegar is very expensive.

"Yes, I can't bear to eat it myself." Lan Qiuhua looked at her and praised, "She is a generous person. Whenever there is something wrong at home, she will come to help."

"Wen He has a good temper, but is a little timid. Aunt Wang, Aunt Lan, Aunt Miao, if I encounter any problems with you in the future, please help me."

Shen Suya raised her head and said, "Brother Rongshan, you said my sister-in-law is timid? How can she be timid? Last time she wanted to chop someone down with a sickle, I was scared to death."

She didn't think her sister-in-law was timid, but rather she thought she was quite brave.

Wang Erfeng smiled and explained: "Xiaoya, you don't understand. If your sister-in-law didn't do that, Liu Erfang's family would tear down your sister-in-law's house."

"I'm telling you, we have to be tough, otherwise people will bully you. Look, after being scared by your sister-in-law last time, she no longer dares to come."

When he sees people, he walks away with his tail between his legs.

Shen Qingdai was not present that day, she only heard about it from her mother when she got home.

"Mom, I want to be like you and sister-in-law in the future. If anyone dares to bully me, I will chop his entire family to death."

Miao Zhaodi was sitting next to her, and she quickly patted her shoulder, saying with a smile: "Don't really chop it, just pretend to do it to scare people."

She glanced sideways and smiled widely: "Aunt Miao, I'm just joking. How dare I really kill someone? If I did, I would be beheaded."

She hasn't lived enough yet. If one day she has had enough and doesn't want to live anymore, she will drag all the family members who bullied her into the fight with her.

After a few people finished their meal at the foot of the mountain and chatted for a while, they went to the fields to plant rice.

Ji Wenhe's family had already planted all the seedlings, and two bunches were left, which they gave to Lan Qiuhua's family.

I moved a small stool and came to the dry land.

Shen Suya heard the footsteps and looked back: "Sister-in-law, why don't you stay at home and rest for a while? The sun is still shining brightly."

She was also feeling very hot, with sweat dripping down her face and her clothes on her back getting wet.

"I went to the wasteland to feed the food and came here." She pulled her straw hat down and sat down not far from her. "Uncle Shen and An Guo, after the rice seedlings are planted, are we going to the town to find work?"

"Yes, we dare not delay. We must finish planting rice as soon as possible and go to town to find work as soon as possible."

Ji Wenhe understood. No wonder every family worked under the scorching sun.

After watering the field, the seedlings are easy to pull out, but you have to be careful or they will be broken.

They then bundle the dried straw into a round basket and carry it on a shoulder pole to the paddy field.

The two men wore straw hats and concentrated on their work. Because it was too hot, neither of them wanted to speak.

Seeing that the seedlings were almost pulled out, Ji Wenhe stood up and said, "Xiaoya, I'll carry the seedlings over."

"Hey."

When they arrived at the paddy field, they carried the seedlings and threw a few bundles of them into the field every time they stopped.

After going back and forth a few times, the seedlings in the two baskets were empty, and they returned to the vegetable field.

Walking on the wooden bridge, looking at the clear river water below, I muttered, "I wonder if there are river shrimps and snails."

Carrying a basket, he walked along the path, looking towards the vegetable field to the south.

The little girls were pulling out the seedlings in the fields, while the adults were planting them.

When they got to the field, Ji Wenhe asked in a low voice: "Xiaoya, whose land is to the west of the village head's? Who is that little girl? I haven't seen her in such a long time."
