Lu Lu didn't expect that Lei Meng would go to Xiushan Tun to see him.
At the same time, Lu Lu was also curious about how Raymond found this place.
We met in the city and passed by in a hurry. He didn't tell Raymond that he was coming to Xiushantun.
I wanted to go there several times, but I was always delayed by trivial matters and never found a good time. Even when Raymond came in person, Lu Lu felt a little regretful.
It won’t take long to harvest the three acres of rice, but the corn can’t be harvested until October...
Lu Lu thought about it and thought that he should take some time to go to Bird's Nest Island during this period.
After chatting with Zhang Shaofeng for a while, Zhang Shaofeng continued to lead the children to catch grasshoppers in the fields, while Lu Lu led Yuanbao and the others back.
When they arrived at Caodianzi, they saw that Chen Xiuyu and the others were still busy. Lu Lu went to the kitchen to light up the stove, peeled off most of the husks of the corns, and put them in a pot to cook.
He took the time to go to the grass in front of the cellar, took out the chipmunks and greyhounds from the hunting bags, and skinned several small animals on the wooden frame planted on the grass.
After peeling off the skin, Lu Lu made a pile of firewood, put the meat through sticks and roasted it carefully on the fire.
The greyhound meat sprinkled with salt and pepper was sizzling by the firewood. Lu Lu was shoveling the oily skin and turning it over to grill.
More than twenty minutes later, the smell of meat had already made the three girls who were unbudding and sorting hazelnuts nearby salivate.
These things were originally roasted and distributed to several of them. Lu Lu first took a roasted greyhound to taste it. Seeing that the meat was completely cooked and the taste was very suitable, he pointed it at the three of them.
Greeting: "Xiuyu, Yanzi, Yingzi, go wash your hands and come over to eat meat."
"Brother-in-law, I've been waiting for your words!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Pu Guiying, who was the most lively, immediately pulled Wang Yan and ran towards the river.
Lu Lu looked at the two of them, then looked back at Chen Xiuyu, who was smiling. He smiled and shook his head slightly, then turned back to the house and quickly put the cooked corn in an antimony pot.
By the way, I scooped some water for cooking corns and put it inside. I also took four bowls and a few chopsticks and brought them out together.
In this way, the corn cooked with the tender shell is not only fresh and sweet, but also the water in which the corn is cooked has the fresh and sweet taste of corn, which is very delicious.
After washing her hands by the river, Chen Xiuyu brought a bunch of roasted greyhound meat to each of them. Wang Yan ate it delicately, while Pu Guiying ate it a bit domineeringly, her mouth filled with greyhound meat.
Full, when he saw Lu Lu coming out with cooked corn, he shouted happily: "There's even boiled corn!"
As she spoke, she handed the greyhound meat in her hand to Chen Xiuyu: "Sister Yu, help me get it!"
After Chen Xiuyu took it, Pu Guiying immediately came to the pot, took the chopsticks, inserted the corn cobs, and handed them to Chen Xiuyu and Wang Yan respectively. After inserting one herself, Pu Guiying sat back on the wooden pier of Caodianzi.
She took the meat from Chen Xiuyu's hand, then took a few mouthfuls of corn and bit into a piece of greyhound meat.
This rude eating gesture made Wang Yan couldn't help but laugh, and whispered: "Just keep it in check, you're not afraid of other people's jokes!"
"What's there to be afraid of? You and Sister Yu are both my good sisters. It's not like you don't know that I'm always so careless and coy. I even feel sad. Besides, I
We are all called Brother Lu and brother-in-law, we are our own people, our own people!"
Pu Guiying said with a smile.
After hearing this, Lu Lu couldn't help but look at the little girl with admiration. These days, there are not many girls who can let go.
Chen Xiuyu's character is somewhere between Wang Yan and Pu Guiying. She should be reserved and polite, but she will never hold back when she should let go.
"We are all acquaintances. Why do we pay so much attention to them? We look up and don't see each other every day. It's not good to be coy and coy. It's better to be natural."
Lu Lu looked at Wang Yan and said with a smile: "Yanzi, you have to learn this from Yingzi. Don't blush easily. When I first saw you, you ran out of the mountains risking your life to find someone to save you."
Your mother is very brave and strong. If she keeps acting like this, she will easily suffer disadvantages when she gets married. She has to be stronger.
Besides, if I follow Xiuyu in the future, I will need your help with many things. If you don’t be generous, some things will be difficult to handle."
After Wang Yan listened, she smiled and nodded without saying much.
Lu Lu himself inserted a piece of corn with his chopsticks, then took out a skewer of barbecued meat and ate it by himself.
The corn is sweet and the greyhound roe meat is fragrant and tender, both are excellent delicacies. This can be regarded as dinner directly, and it is quite delicious.
"Daughter-in-law, after the rice is collected, I have to go out to the Bird's Nest Island to see Raymond." Lu Lu said his plan while eating.
"Are you going alone?" Chen Xiuyu asked worriedly. Bird's Nest Island is a long way away from here.
"I went there alone... When I went to see the rice fields today, I met Brother Feng. Brother Feng said that Raymond came to see me in the village the day before yesterday, but he didn't see us, so he hurriedly went back. You know, Brother Meng
Regarding my relationship, I also know that he is kind to me. Now that I have taken root in this mountain, I should go and see him...
It’s okay, I’m not going hunting, I mainly want to go over and play with him for a few days! Besides, it’s harvest time on the farm, and he’s very busy, so I’ll go over to see him, catch up on old times, and then come back.”
Lu Lu was mainly afraid that Chen Xiuyu would be worried, and the matter was made very clear.
"If you want to go, go ahead!"
Chen Xiuyu smiled slightly.
She often heard Lu Lu mention Raymond, and she knew very well how important Raymond was to Lu Lu.
She had no reason not to agree to this matter.
"You can leave tomorrow. With the little rice in the field, I can finish it in just a few days."
Deep down, Chen Xiuyu didn't want these chores to tie Lu Lu down.
It was already hard for Lu Lu to earn money to support her family, so she felt that she should take care of the family affairs well so that Lu Lu would have nothing to worry about.
"I haven't taken care of the crops for a year. If I can't help after harvesting, it's my fault. These are all manual labor. How can I let you carry them alone? Let me see.
After that, when the water vapor in the rice fields dries a little more, we can harvest. I will go after this is done."
Lu Lu was a little impatient and just hoped that the weather would be sunny every day.
In the next few days, Lu Lu had nothing to do, so he wandered around the nearby mountains and frequently went to Zhao Yongke's house. He mainly looked for opportunities to ask Zhao Tuanqing about his experience in the mountains and hunting skills.
Wouldn't it be a waste if the old baby who was finally brought down from the mountains doesn't learn from it?
More than ten people in the family were busy building wood carvings, which consumed a lot of food every day. Lu Lu also followed Zhao Yongke into the mountains and helped beat meat twice.
The one shot was a roe deer. It was a simple matter.
The other time I shot a wild boar.
When hunting wild boars, Chen Xiuqing was also called.
The main reason is that Zhao Yongke's carriage has wooden wheels and is not as useful as Chen Xiuqing's rubber-tired carriage.
The three of them went more than twenty miles into the mountains and easily tracked down a group of wild boars.
The mountains are rich in all kinds of berries, grass seeds, nuts and other things. The wild boars eat wildly every day and become much fatter than in spring and summer.
The three of them each fired a gun, and one of them hit one head. The six dogs that rushed out followed them and caught two more yellow dogs weighing more than 100 kilograms. They had their anus dug out and were quickly dealt with.
The protection of a wild boar that was bitten on the butt by squatting on the ground has no effect on a few dogs.
As long as the wild boar sits down and is busy protecting its buttocks, they will keep shouting at the wild boar's ears, armpits, and belly. The bites will hurt and force the wild boar to stand up, but as long as it stands up, its buttocks will bloom.
The biting abilities of these puppies are getting more and more brutal.
As long as the back door is dug out, the intestines can be pulled out in just a few strokes.
The pain caused the wild boar to run forward desperately, but with such a fatal injury, how far could it run?
A wild boar weighing less than 300 kilograms is easy for six dogs to handle.
After returning from wild boar hunting, Lu Lu asked for two yellow hairs. After returning to Caodianzi to take care of them, they smoked them with firewood. He then rode Zhui Feng and gave them to Wang Demin, Zhang Shaofeng, Aunt Duan, Jiang Zewei and several familiar militiamen.
Some.
Although everyone is not short of meat during this period, fresh yellow-haired pork and smoked pork have different tastes, which can be regarded as Lu Lu's heart.
The next day, it was finally time to cut the rice.
After breakfast, Lu Lu sharpened four sickles, and the couple carried some steamed buns to eat for lunch. They left Yuanbao and a few dogs to look after the house, and headed to the rice fields in Xiushantun together.
The seedlings planted a few days before and after were harvested at about the same time. All the way to Xiushan Tuntunkou, Lu Lu saw many people walking to the fields. Some of them were busy faster and had already started two days earlier.
, the rice in the field has almost been cut, and handfuls are left to dry on the reserved rice stubble.
It's autumn, and the wind in the mountains is getting cooler.
Everyone is busy, very busy.
This is the first harvest from the land. Looking at the heavy wheat ears on the ground, except for what is handed over to the state and guaranteed to the collective, the rest is my own.
The completely different distribution made everyone full of energy.
When the two of them were walking along the dirt road towards their paddy fields, they met Zhu Chunmei's family who were also walking towards the fields.
Lu Lu didn't have any good sense about this matchmaker.
He immediately overtook him and acted as if he hadn't seen him.
But just a few steps forward, I heard Chen Xiuyu calling directly from behind: "What are you looking at? Look at me again? If you have the ability, tell me what you just said again."
Lu Lu frowned slightly, turned around and found Chen Xiuyu staring at Zhu Chunmei, as if she was about to fight: "Daughter-in-law, what's wrong?"
"Am I lending you white rice and paying you back black beans? Have I provoked you? Look again..."
Chen Xiuyu acted as if she hadn't heard anything and still stared at Zhu Chunmei hatefully and began to roll up her sleeves.
"Hey, Xiuyu, why are you so arrogant all of a sudden? I can't see with my long eyes, it's too overbearing! Also, what I said has nothing to do with you, I didn't say anything about you, why are you anxious?
?”
Zhu Chunmei smiled contemptuously: "What the hell, you still want to hit me?"
Lu Lu stepped forward and grabbed Chen Xiuyu: "Daughter-in-law, let's go. Don't argue this early in the morning. Some people deserve to have needle holes, and their words sound like farts. Just stay away. Don't you think it's disgusting...
Walk!"
"Who are you talking about?" Lu Lu's words made Zhu Chunmei stare angrily.
"Hey, what I said has nothing to do with you. I didn't say anything about you. Why are you anxious?"
Lu Lu responded directly with her words: "Why, I can't speak anymore. Isn't that too overbearing?"
He didn't know what Zhu Chunmei said, but looking at Chen Xiuyu like this, it was definitely not a good thing.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhu Chunmei's man had a dark face, stretched out his hand and pulled Zhu Chunmei a few times, and forced her forward.
Lu Lu watched the two people walking away, and then asked: "Daughter-in-law, what happened? What did she say?"
