curling smoke

On the third day of the wedding, Gu Qiu and Lin Dashan went back to Jiang Tao's house with presents such as an old hen and a big carp.Although it was just for getting married at the beginning, in Gu Qiu's heart he already regarded Jiang Tao and Li Jinyun as his own brothers.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of Jiang's house, Xiaodong rushed over and threw himself into Gu Qiu's arms, hugged Gu Qiu's waist tightly and did not speak. "What's the matter? Missing brother?" Gu Qiu smiled and stroked Xiaodong's hair.Gu Dong nodded.Gu Dong and Gu Qiu have been together since childhood, the two brothers see each other almost every day, this time they haven't seen each other for two days, and they both miss each other a little bit.

Lin Dashan looked at the two brothers who were closely dependent on each other, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "I will pick you up in a few days, don't be sad, it's cold, let's go in first."

Hearing Lin Dashan's words, Gu Dong blushed a little at the thought of his sticky appearance, then let go of Gu Qiu, looked at Gu Qiu and Lin Dashan, and called brother-in-law awkwardly.

When Lin Dashan heard this brother-in-law, his heart was filled with joy.Pulling Gu Qiu and Gu Dong into the door, Jin Yun is now more than seven months pregnant, with a big belly, and now Jiang Tao has banned Jin Yun from doing any heavy work, almost as if he would confess him, making Jin Yun helpless .

As soon as he entered the room, Gu Qiu felt extremely warm, and two braziers were lit in the room.Seeing Gu Qiu and the others coming, Jin Yun happily stood up to meet them and said, "Here you are, Xiaodong has been looking forward to you this morning, and now you are finally here." He poured hot tea for them.

Gu Qiu snatched the teapot from Jin Yun's hand with a smile, and said with a teasing smile: "Now you have to stay well, you can't do these rough jobs, you can't do it if you're hot or tired."

Jin Yun stretched out his hand angrily to snatch the teapot from Gu Qiu's hand, Jiang Tao came out from the kitchen, "Gu Qiu, you did the right thing, he just can't sit still, we have to keep him in check."

Jin Yun saw that the general situation was going, so he had to give Jiang Tao a look, and sat down obediently.

Jiang Tao smiled triumphantly, and turned to Lin Dashan and Gu Qiu and said: "It's just right for you to come now, I have been stewing the old hen for a long time, you are chatting here, I will cook a few more dishes, and it will be ready at noon Eat here." Lin Dashan agreed, let Gu Qiu chat with Jin Yun, and went into the kitchen to help Jiang Tao light the fire.

At lunch, five people sat around the table. The fire in the room was warm. Jiang Tao warmed up the wine and Lin Dashan drank it. The four of them chatted briefly. Nice job.

Lin Dashan took the pickled radish with his chopsticks and said, "The spring freeze is about to melt, and spring plowing is about to start. This year, our two families will continue to farm together as usual."

Jiang Tao pondered for a while, nodded, and said, "Wheat was planted in the dry land last autumn. I went to see it two days ago, and it was already green. Let's apply some fertilizer after that time. As for the paddy field It's time to get busy with the farm work here."

Jiang Tao’s family owns more land than Lin Dashan’s, three acres of paddy fields and five acres of dry land. However, there used to be two people in his family, but now Lin Dashan is married to his elder brother, and Jin Yun is pregnant with a child and cannot do heavy work. If the two companies cooperate, the Lin family will suffer a bit. Originally, Jiang Tao wanted to plant the two families separately this year, but Lin Dashan said so, but he didn't take these small things to heart, so Jiang Tao agreed. After all, with the two families Relationships don't need to worry about these small things.

Jin Yun drank the old hen soup specially made for him by Jiang Tao, and said: "I am in such a body that I can't do heavy work, so I can boil water and cook at home. It depends on how busy you are."

After a meal, Lin Dashan stayed for a while to talk about the next thing in the field, Gu Qiu took Gu Dong back first.In the next few days, Lin Dashan and Jiang Tao were busy raising rice seedlings.Gu Qiu didn't want to help out when he was idle. After a busy day, Gu Qiu found that very few people in the village were busy raising seedlings.

"Why is there no one raising seedlings in the village?"

Lin Dashan smiled and said to Gu Qiu: Our Jiangjia village is mostly dry land, and the paddy field is only more than 20 mu. Taozi’s family and I have the most land, with three mu. Some families in the village only have one or two mu. People only have dry land.Although rice is more expensive, it is difficult to take care of, and the people here are not good at growing it, and the yield is not high, but the land passed down from our ancestors is like this, so we have to plant it well. "

Gu Qiu nodded with a smile, and said, "You forgot that I am from Pingcheng, and the people there have been serving Daozi for generations."

Lin Dashan didn't expect this at first, but now he is very pleasantly surprised by Gu Qiu's words. Since his family has little land, it would be good if he could produce more food.

Back home, Gu Qiu explained to Lin Dashan some essentials of growing rice in detail, and also told Lin Dashan that he could put some fish fry in the paddy field. have an income.

"The fish are raised in the rice fields. Didn't the fish gnaw the stalks? How can this work?" Lin Dashan couldn't believe this unheard of thing, and asked suspiciously.

"Don't worry, fish eat insects and snails in the water, and won't eat rice seedlings. Most people in our area do this. When the fish grow up and sell them, no matter how small they are, it will be a lot of money." Gu Qiu said with certainty.

After hearing this, Lin Dashan no longer doubted it. He believed Gu Qiu's words, "That's fine, but there are few people raising fish here, and I'm afraid it's hard to find fish fry. I'll go and ask in a few days."

Gu Qiu pulled Lin Dashan past, stood behind Lin Dashan, and gently pinched Lin Dashan's shoulders with his hands: "I've been busy all day, and I will plant rice seedlings again in a few days. This is the most tiring job. Don't do it today." Think about those things, and take a good rest."

Gu Qiu's gentle yet strong hand touched Lin Dashan's shoulder lightly and then heavily on Lin Dashan's shoulder. Even though it was a bit rough, his round fingers occasionally brushed against Lin Dashan's neck, scratching Lin Dashan's heart itchy.Lin Dashan's generous palm gently covered Gu Qiu's hand, pulled Gu Qiu into his arms, and kissed him lightly...

In the next few days, Jiang Tao and Lin Dashan were busy with the work in the field. Originally, Gu Qiu and them went to work in the field together, but it was too hard to plant rice seedlings all day long, and the fields of the two families were really difficult. Not much, Jiang Tao and Lin Dashan are enough.So Gu Qiu stayed at home to cook and deliver meals, and took care of Jin Yun who was pregnant.

"Little Dong'er, guess if my brother is pregnant with a brother or a kid."

"I wish I was a kid like me so I could have someone to play with."

"Hey, you still want to play when you're so old?"

……

In the room, Gu Dong chatted with Jin Yun, while Gu Qiu was busy with lunch in the kitchen.

The work in the fields is hard work, which consumes the most energy. If you don’t have enough to eat, you can’t do the work. The northerners are full of noodles, so today they make noodles for lunch.

Today Gu Qiu purposely used white flour and half cornmeal to knead the dough.There was no time to sell meat during the busy farming season, so Gu Qiu used Jiang Tao's bacon and soaked fungus to make soup. Although it was simple, it was rich in meat and vegetables.

The noodles were served, Gu Qiu thought for a while and took three more eggs, fried them into broken eggs, and added some to each bowl.White with yellowish noodles, dark red bacon slices, black fungus, and bright yellow egg flowers, this bowl of noodles looks rich in color and is really attractive, and the hot aroma is also mouth-watering.

Gu Qiu added some vinegar and chili oil to the noodles, found a bamboo basket and placed the two bowls of noodles firmly in it, and then put a plate on top to prevent the noodles from cooling down quickly.Put a pot of boiled water in the basket.

Gu Qiu put two bowls on the table and greeted the two people in the room to come over for dinner: "Brother Jinyun, Xiaodong, it's time to eat. The noodles are already on the table, you eat first, I'll deliver the meal to Dashan and Taozi ,do not wait for me."

Gu Dong heard Gu Qiu's words and got out of the room, "Brother, I'll deliver the food. You've been busy all day, eat first." Jin Yun also walked out with his waist and said, "Yes, let me Go, little Donger. Sit down and rest for a while."

Gu Qiu hesitated for a moment, but still agreed, and told Gu Dong to be careful, then handed over the basket for Gu Dong to deliver the food.

There is hot soup in the noodles, which is easy to spill, so Gu Dong walked carefully with the basket, it was still early and he didn't want to rush.

"Xiaodong, are you going to deliver food to the fields? What are you having for lunch?" On the way, I met many villagers, and when they saw Gu Dong carrying a big basket, everyone greeted them warmly.

"Eating noodles," Xiaodong replied crisply with a smile.

"Can you lift it? Do you want to help?" Gu Dong thought about whether I am still a kid if I can't lift this little thing, and politely rejected everyone's kindness.

When they arrived at their own fields, Lin Dashan and Jiang Tao were still bending over to work in the field. When they saw Gu Dong coming from a distance with a basket, they rested.Working in the paddy field was covered with mud, and the two of them went to the small ditch next to them to wash off before coming to eat.

"I'm starving to death. It's delicious! Xiaodong, what shall we eat today?" Jiang Tao asked with a smile while drinking the water he brought.

Gu Dong took off the covered bowl proudly, and said, "It's my brother's noodles. It has bacon, fungus, and eggs. It's delicious. This bowl with the spicy ones is for Brother Lin."

Lin Dashan picked up the bowl of noodles with spicy oil, and the corners of his mouth turned up inadvertently.

Seeing this, Jiang Tao joked, "Dashan, you are really married to a good man who is considerate."

Lin Dashan didn't care about him, and proudly replied "Of course", and started to eat the noodles in a hurry.Gu Qiu's strength is weak, the noodles are not mixed enough, and the soup is not strong enough, but the soup is well-made, full of umami, and scrambled eggs are added, it is really delicious, two very hungry people finished it in two or three bites .

Although the six mu of land is not much, it is also a lot. Lin Dashan and Jiang Tao worked almost five days to plant all the land with seedlings.

Planting rice seedlings has to bend over all day long, and even a strong man like Lin Dashan has backaches and backaches, and he is exhausted.Seeing that Lin Dashan was so tired, Gu Qiu felt a little distressed, so he tried different ways to make delicious food for Lin Dashan.Lin Dashan eats well these days, his face is full of red every day, his original fatigue is healed all at once, and his whole body is full of energy, which makes Jiang Tao sigh that the power of love is really great.
