There is a married man

After working with Chen Liang all afternoon to make dried osmanthus, Ai Qing originally wanted to make some osmanthus cakes, but was stopped by Chen Liang. The reason was naturally that it was not appropriate to work hard.On the one hand, Ai Qing was delighted and moved by Chen Liang's careful care, but on the other hand, he felt that Chen Liang was making too much of a fuss, and he almost treated herself as a pregnant woman, but no one thought that Ai Qing's joke would be later It actually became a reality, but this is already a story.

The next day, when Ai Qing woke up, Chen Liang was packing farm tools in the yard. After asking, he realized that today he was going to the field to harvest ripe potatoes and sweet potatoes. Ai Qing was immediately excited when he heard that, thinking about the potatoes he ate in Sichuan. Slices and dried sweet potatoes, the saliva almost flowed down, and he said that he wanted to go with Chen Liang, but Chen Liang flatly refused. Although there are many peasant women in the village who will go to the fields with their husbands, Chen Liang just disagrees with Ai Qing. He followed, he didn't want to make Ai Qing suffer a little.However, Ai Qing's grinding skills were also top-notch. In the end, Chen Liang had no choice but to agree, but he was limited to asking Ai Qing to help after delivering the lunch. In fact, Chen Liang didn't want to, so he wanted to work harder. Harvest the crops as soon as possible before lunch is delivered, but Ai Qing is looking forward to it infinitely.

After Chen Liang went out, Ai Qing kept busy in the kitchen. After cooking the poultry food early and putting it in the trough, he began to prepare lunch.Looking at the bright sun outside, Ai Qing decided to cook something for lunch to cool off the heat. Thinking of yesterday's sweet-scented osmanthus, she knew it.

I picked some coriander and a wax gourd from the vegetable field in the backyard. After washing, Ai Qing took them back to the kitchen, lit the stove, boiled the water in the pot, poured a little oil, and threw the green vegetables in the wooden basin into the kitchen. In the boiling water, take out a small bowl, add sugar, ginger, garlic and coriander, add vinegar and soy sauce and stir to make the sauce. The vegetables will be cooked soon. , Boiled vegetables will be successful.

Then, Ai Qing cut the prepared wax gourd into pieces, took out the pork in the cupboard, smelled it, and found that there was no peculiar smell, so he chopped the pork into a puree, added some minced green onion, salt, flour, and pepper, and beat it. After pouring an egg on the meat, stir it constantly. When it becomes gelatinous, use a spoon to form balls into boiling water. When the meatballs are about the same color, throw the winter melon prepared in advance into the pot. Add a little salt and pepper and cook over low heat.

While cooking the wax gourd ball soup, Ai Qing ran back to the room and took out the dried osmanthus and some black plums and hawthorns that were made yesterday. Because there are many forests in the northwest of Chenjia Village, there are many wild things, and it is easy to pick them. It is convenient.

With these materials in hand, Ai Qing returned to the kitchen, and soaked ebony and hawthorn in a bowl filled with water. Thinking that there must be other villagers in the field, Ai Qing added some more.After the winter melon in the pot is cooked, put it in a bowl and put it in the cabinet, uncover the kettle on the stove wall, pour hot water into the pot and scrub it clean.Seeing that the ebony and hawthorn are almost soaked, pour water into the casserole, pour the ebony and hawthorn into it, boil it on high heat, cook it on low heat for 10 minutes, and finally pour dried osmanthus and soup into the soup , After it melted, turn off the fire.

Without a refrigerator, Ai Qing had to pour the cooked sweet-scented osmanthus and sour plum soup into a large kettle, then fetch cold water from the well, and put the kettle in there to cool naturally.

After all this was done, Ai Qing couldn't wait any longer, she put some more rice in the dish, thinking that she could eat directly with Chen Liang after arriving in the field, and went out.

Because Chen Liang had ordered in advance that he could deliver food to the field with Mrs. Wang who was next door, and then he could find the location of the field, so Ai Qing planned to go to Mrs. Wang's house first.

Sister-in-law Wang's family has a different surname that is rarely seen in Chenjia Village. Her husband's name is Wang Laoshi, and he lives up to his name. He is an honest and hardworking middle-aged man. Both the husband and wife are kind and hard-working people. They helped a lot, and to Chen Liang, the couple were like their own big brother and sister-in-law. Since that was the case, Ai Qing naturally treated them as relatives.In addition to the couple, the Wang family also has a son named Wang Xiaohu who has just turned five years old. Although the little guy is only five years old, he has grown very strong, and he is very cute with his tiger head and tiger brain.Perhaps children are born with a lack of immunity to beautiful things. Wang Xiaohu also likes Uncle Chen Liang's beautiful daughter-in-law, Ai Qing, and loves to run to Chen Liang's house when he has nothing to do.When Ai Qing was in the orphanage, she loved to take care of her younger siblings, so she also liked the lively, lovely and energetic little tiger poop.

Ai Qing knocked on the door, and the door was quickly opened, and a kind middle-aged woman came out, looked at the food in Ai Qing's hand, and joked, "Oh, sister, why is it so early, you are afraid Is your husband hungry? Hehe."

Although she is still not used to the term "sister", but understanding the other party's teasing meaning, Ai Qing's face still blushed uncontrollably, and she hurriedly changed the subject, "Sister-in-law, how are you?"

"Okay, sister-in-law won't tease you anymore, just wait for sister-in-law for a while, and sister-in-law will come soon." Sister-in-law Wang is a cheerful and forthright woman who treats Chen Liang as her own younger brother. Such a delicate and beautiful lady, it is impossible to say that there is no worry in my heart, but I never thought that this beautiful bride is such a person who is good at hard work, taking care of the house in a daze, and looking After coming out, the bride treated Chen Liang sincerely, not to mention Chen Liang, her heart was already dead on her, seeing the husband and wife who respected each other like guests, Sister-in-Law Wang finally felt at ease, and made Ai Qing more She became a good sister.

When walking on the road, Ai Qing was obviously in a hurry, striding forward without stopping. Although Ai Qing was slender and thin, he was a man after all, and his steps were bigger than the average woman, and he always wanted to hurry up When they arrived in the field, they quickly left Mrs. Wang behind.

"Hey, sister, wait for sister-in-law." Seeing Ai Qing walking forward with her head buried, sister-in-law Wang couldn't help reminding her.

Ai Qing heard the call, and realized that she had walked so far, so she immediately turned around and walked to Sister Wang's side.

Before Ai Qing could explain, Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "You, I know you are worried about Brother Chen Liang, but you can't be so reckless. Do you know where the land is?"

Ai Qing opened her big eyes with a puzzled expression, and just shook her head.

"That's enough, follow sister-in-law."

Because Chen Liang's house is close to the northwest of the village, and most of the fields are in the southeast of the village, Ai Qing had to coordinate with Mrs. Wang's speed while worrying about spilling the soup. It took the two of them half an hour to reach the field.

What catches the eye is the open field, and the golden rice paddies in the distance are connected together, like a golden carpet, gently shaking with the wind, bringing up waves of rice. Looking at the harvest in front of him, Ai Qing feels It's a little humid in the ground, this is the result of the hard work of the farmers!

Chen Liang saw Ai Qing early, and hurried over to take the lunch in his hand, picked up a sweat towel and wiped the sweat on his forehead, "Why so early?" Chen Liang originally planned to take the potatoes before Ai Qing came over The sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes were cleaned up, but Ai Qing never thought that Ai Qing would come so early. Although all the sweet potatoes and potatoes had been dug out, they hadn't been put into the box yet, and they were scattered on the ground.

"I wanted to come early to help, and I set off without eating, thinking that I could eat with you." Looking at the sweet potatoes in the field, Ai Qing's eyes were full of excitement and eagerness.

Chen Liang really never thought that Ai Qing would be so concerned about this matter, seeing the already excited person, he could only smile helplessly, and after saying hello to Mrs. Wang, he took Ai Qing's hand and sat under the shade of the tree. Take out the meals in the food box and put them away.

Although the dishes are simple, it has to be said that the taste is top-notch. The aroma keeps wafting around, causing other villagers to twitch their index fingers and praise Chen Liang for being blessed. Hearing these words, Chen Liang's heart is full Ai Qing's heart had already flown away, and she didn't respond to the villagers' words.

After eating, Chen Liang poured a bowl of water from the kettle. After drinking it, he found that it was so sweet and refreshing. In the scorching summer, he felt that a lot of heat had been driven away, so he hurriedly asked Ai Qing what it was.Ai Qing came back to his senses after being called by Chen Liang, and after explaining to him, he walked towards other villagers with a large kettle and added a bowl of sour plum soup to everyone. The peasant woman hurriedly grabbed Ai Qing and asked how to do it, and Ai Qing told them one by one.

After a short break for lunch, everyone went back to farming.

Ai Qing followed Chen Liang, throwing the dug up potatoes and sweet potatoes into the box one by one. Within an hour, he collected all the crops and put them into the wooden cart. Seeing that Brother Wang and Sister Wang were still busy, the two Then he ran over to help pack it up.The four of them worked until the evening before cleaning up the crops in the field.

Chen Liang and Brother Wang walked in front pushing the wooden wheeled cart, while Ai Qing and Mrs. Wang followed closely behind with food boxes.The dim setting sun shone on the wide village road, casting four long and narrow shadows on the four people.

Staring at the generous and upright figure in front of him, and listening to the gentle breeze, Ai Qing's heart was at peace!
