When I went home in the evening, I met acquaintances in the village while walking on the road. Everyone praised her, which made Ling Xiaowei feel guilty. This... was just a small test.
I suddenly felt an unknown pressure. If I failed the primary school graduation exam, it would be a big loss, not a shame.
In order not to be embarrassed, Ling Xiaowei studied hard. As soon as she got home at night, she would do her homework in her room. After she finished her homework, before going to bed, she had to look at the study materials from her childhood in the system.
Graduation from elementary school is around the corner, and farm work in the fields has begun in full swing.
The school had two days off because it was time to harvest wheat, so the teacher assigned a lot of homework for everyone to study at home.
It is said that it is studying, but in fact it is just a cover. In rural areas, as soon as the farming season begins, the whole family is mobilized.
In the morning, before dawn, Zhang Cuifen and her grandma had already gotten up and cooked a pot of porridge. Then they put a pot of porridge in a small aluminum pot and put it behind the tricycle. They spread out a large piece of cake and took half of it.
, cut the other half into small pieces, stir-fried it with leeks, and served it as a vegetable. They took half of it and left the other half on the dining table in the hut, covered with a cover.
The two of them took another bottle of pickles, dried radishes, sickles, and went out to the fields.
They will be in the fields all day today. Ling Xiaowei woke up in the morning and it was already bright. When she saw the leek fried pancakes, it was quite strange because she had never eaten like this before, but after taking one bite, she couldn't stop.
!
It's really delicious. The special freshness of leeks and the fragrance of wheat noodles blend together to create a wonderful taste effect.
After breakfast, she started to wash clothes.
During the busy farming season, no one washed the clothes at home. In her previous life, she would start washing clothes as soon as summer vacation came.
Nowadays, she doesn't wash much, most of them are washed by Zhang Cuifen, but today Zhang Cuifen went to the fields to cut wheat, and no one washes her clothes, and she can't wait until Zhang Cuifen comes back to wash them. That is really unethical.
I took water from the river, poured it into a bucket, and soaked my clothes for a while.
Ling Xiaowei took out the radio from the house and tuned a channel with music. The host inside was playing one story after another with music. Ling Xiaowei particularly liked this program.
When you hear a song you like, you sing along.
"A cold plum blossom stands proudly in the snow..." The beautiful melody and touching lyrics are so pleasant to listen to. At this time, Ling Xiaowei was living in an era that was simple and simple. Little did she know that decades later, this song would become another
A taste.
Listening to the radio makes you work quickly and you are not tired!
Mingming was also very well-behaved, and kept sitting aside, staring at the radio in a daze. He also kept asking Ling Xiaowei why someone was singing inside.
Ling Xiaowei explained that there was no one inside, it was just a signal and a sound.
"What is a signal? Is it a human being?" Ming Ming started asking a hundred thousand questions again.
"It's not a person, it's just a signal!"
"How can you talk if you're not a human being? My sister is a big liar!" Mingming put his hands together, pouted, and looked for his father with a bulging belly.
Ouch! It’s really troublesome to explain to children!
Ling Xiaowei was a little lucky that Mingming would not ask her any more questions, but in the next few days, Ling Xiaowei paid the price for her happiness! Because Mingming had dismantled the radio!
Of course, this is a story for later.
After washing the clothes, you have to go to the river and run the clothes through the clean water. On the pier, after the clothes have been passed through the water, take them home to dry.
After the clothes were washed, it was nine o'clock. Ling Xiaowei moved the table and stools and sat under the locust tree next to the hut to do her homework.
The cool breeze is blowing, carrying the scent of locust flowers.
The Sophora japonica tree in her home always bloomed later than others. After finishing her homework, she moved a stool, set it up on the table, and started picking Sophora japonica flowers, picking tender ones, and making scrambled Sophora japonica flowers at noon.
At noon, she was going to deliver meals to the adults in the fields. When she and her aunt went to the fields to farm, they would see children delivering meals to other people's homes. The adults were very happy.
She also wanted to experience it and saw her grandma and Zhang Cuifen's unexpectedly happy expressions.
There was still a while before lunch was cooked, so she could work for a while. It was like this in the countryside. She had no time to spare all day long, just to feed the chickens in the chicken coop.
After a month of raising these chicks, they have now turned into big, hairless chickens. They are all so ugly that they obviously don’t like looking at them. In another half month, all their hair will grow!
When the summer heat comes, you can eat steamed little roosters with rock sugar!
The only time she had eaten it was when her grandma secretly brought it to her from her aunt's house, and that was a long time ago.
This year, she wants to eat whole food!
After feeding the chickens, I watered the grape trees and the vegetable garden at the door.
It hasn't rained recently, the ground is very dry, and the vegetables in the vegetable garden in front of the house are all dry.
The vegetable fields in front of and behind the house were watered, and I picked some green vegetables, a few green peppers, and dug two potatoes.
Today’s dish is ready!
A self-sufficient life, a contented life, is wonderful! Even if you feel a little tired, just treat it as exercise.
It's eleven o'clock, and it's time to make lunch.
Dad also came to help. Dad was a good hand at shredding potatoes, cutting them thinly and evenly.
Ling Xiaowei made rice and then used another pot to stir-fry. She washed the locust flowers, then beat four eggs, wrapped them in egg liquid, added some salt, then poured them into the oil pan and fried them slowly over low heat until they were cooked.
Take an egg pancake, add a little soy sauce, stir-fry and it's ready to serve.
Take this oil pan, add oil, and start frying shredded potatoes. The shredded potatoes she fried are very different. They are not crispy, but noodles. Ling Xiaowei likes noodles, so she cooks them according to her own taste.
After the potatoes are fried, it’s time to make the soup! Three vegetables and one soup!
She left some food for her father, but Ling Xiaowei packed the rest in two big baskets, and with four bowls and chopsticks, she took Mingming to the fields to deliver food to the adults.
Go directly from your backyard to the fields.
Her land is not close to the door of her house, but a little far away, close to the island. The land is divided by lots, and whichever piece is drawn will be the piece.
The strong sun at noon cannot stop the hard-working villagers. In some fields, adults are still cutting wheat, and in some cases, a family of four is sitting on a pile of wheat to have lunch.
There are a lot of adults and children in the fields. Some are playing around, some are picking wheat ears, and of course there are also some who lose their temper and don't want to work and are scolded by their parents.
Mingming followed Ling Xiaowei obediently, looking around curiously.
This was the first time for him to go so far away from home.
"Sister, shall we go find mom?"
"Yes, I want to bring food to your mother."
Ling Xiaowei carried a basket in each hand, panting from exhaustion, and walked for a while to rest.
"Sister, look, that's mom!" Ming Ming shouted sharply, pointing forward.
