Little wealth

Before noon, the crops in their fields were all harvested.

They are brothers and sisters who work today, some of them are responsible for harvesting wheat, and some are responsible for threshing millet.When all the wheat is harvested, the wheat harvested in the front is all threshed, and the wheat harvested in the back is still threshed.

Zhao Hu and his men came back with the millet in a donkey cart, and happened to be very thirsty, so they wanted to go home and find water to drink. As soon as they entered the yard, they heard the sound of the kitchen and the smell of food, so he went to the kitchen to look for it. When he came over, he saw his brother standing in front of the stove and called out "Brother."

"Hey, you're back, have you harvested all the wheat?" Josh was still baking the last pot of pie crust, thinking of delivering lunch to everyone after the last pot of baking, and meeting someone without thinking came back.

"Yeah, it's over. We just pulled a load of millet back to dry, and I'm back to drink some water." Without waiting for anyone to pour water for him, Zhao Hu took a bowl to fill it when he knew that there was cold boiled water in the pot. water to drink.

"Oh, there is cold water in the pot, fill it yourself." Josh is busy here, so he has no time to spare.

"Brother, I can do it by myself." Zhao Hu probed into the pot and glanced at the things on the table. He took a big bowl and filled it with cold boiled water.

The boiled water that was boiled in the morning is completely cold by now.

The cold water passed through his throat, with a sweet taste, gurgling, he poured a large bowl of water into his stomach in one breath, it was so refreshing!

"It just so happens that you're back, so I'll bring you something to eat over there. You can wait for my side to finish soon." Turn over the pancakes in the pan and continue baking. The last pot of pancakes here is almost finished.

Glancing at the table, seeing the cucumbers and radishes still on top, Josh remembered that his cucumbers and radishes hadn't been cut yet, so he hurriedly shredded the cucumbers and radishes, but he didn't forget to give the cucumbers and radishes that were being cut first. The waiting little tiger rolled a pancake and ate it.

The freshly baked pancakes were still hot, so he spread a layer of homemade shiitake meat sauce on them, added a large spoonful of leek eggs, shredded cucumber and radish, and added a piece of green vegetables to wrap the pancakes. One roll and one burrito is ready.

"Come on, you take it and eat it first. When I finish it here, you take some to the field for everyone to eat." Passing the pancakes, he continued to cut cucumber shreds, so he was too busy Nevermind.

"Yeah, thank you brother." Zhao Hu was not polite, took the pie and lowered his head to take a bite.

After one bite, the outside of the pancake was a little crispy and crispy, and the inside had the aroma of mushroom meat sauce, as well as leek eggs, so that even the cucumber and radish that he usually hated the most were not so unpalatable.

"Well, it's delicious!" As expected of his brother, it's so delicious.

After working for a long time, he was already hungry, otherwise he would not have gone home to find water.He only held a big burrito with two hands, and he ate it up in a few big mouthfuls, and even licked the sauce on his fingers after eating.

The half-grown boy eats the poor old man, that's what he said, no matter how much he eats in one meal, he will definitely feel hungry after a while.

"Here, I'll give you another one. Don't worry, eat slowly. It won't be long." Seeing that the person had finished eating, Josh rolled another pancake and handed it over, then picked up the kitchen knife and cut the melon shreds.This cutting is still too slow. Tomorrow, I should ask their carpenter Zhao to make a grater, so as to save such a knife and knife shredding.

"Yeah." Zhao Hu responded, but he ate without slowing down, and asked while eating, "Brother, are you cooking for us at noon?"

"Yeah, I don't think you've been working for a long time, so you must be hungry. Have you run out of water over there? You can send some water over there later." Fortunately, most of the people on his side Everything is ready, except for the last bit of cucumber and radish left uncut.

The knife in his hand was fast, and he cut it in a while.

Put the shredded cucumber and radish in a bowl, as well as the wine, vegetables and eggs, and put them in two servings, and put them in two different baskets. Finally, Josh didn’t forget to put some cold water for drinking. They couldn't find water, so they had to bring it from home.

Fortunately, they have prepared a lot of these bamboo tubes at home. Usually they have to go to the town to sell things, and they must use bamboo tubes to hold water, so there is no shortage of these things at home.

Two big baskets, and water in four big bamboo tubes.

Josh tried it with his own hands, and the weight was not light, so he asked, "Can you take it by yourself?"

"Yes, yes." Zhao Hu glanced left and right. He hadn't seen his little nephew since he came back, so he asked where he went.

"Oh, fell asleep. There are two copies here. You can send one to your brother by the way. It is enough to give them a bottle of water. If it is not enough, let your brother come back here to get the rest. You can take it to the field for everyone to eat." Afraid that everyone would be hungry for too long, Josh hurriedly packed the food and handed it to others.

"Okay, okay." Zhao Hu stuffed the last bite of pancake into his mouth.

In just a short while, he ate three or four pancakes, but he saw that the pancakes his brother made for him were spread with meat sauce, and there was no meat sauce in these two baskets.

Seeing people looking straight at the half bowl of meat sauce left on the table, Josh smiled and said, "There's only so much sauce left, keep it for our own food, and it won't be enough for you if you take it away Let’s share, go quickly, don’t look at it.” With so much sauce, he had to leave it for his children to wipe pancakes, but he was reluctant to let it go outside.

"Hey, bro, I'm leaving." Zhao Hu carried a big basket in one hand, and several large tubes of water, but this weight was nothing to him, and he carried the basket lightly leave.

Josh stood at the door of the kitchen, watched people go out, exhaled, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and went back to clean up the table.There were also a few pancakes and some shredded cucumber and radish left on the table. This was lunch for him and his son, and the rest of them were taken away, saving him a trip to deliver them.

The child in the room fell asleep for a while, wondering if he was awake at this moment, so he went back to the room to have a look.

***

The people who left the yard ran towards the new yard under the scorching sun at noon, and handed over a basket and a bamboo tube to his elder brother, and told his elder brother what he had explained, "Is this brother asked me to send it to you?" It’s for you, brother, if you don’t have enough water, go back and get it.”

"Okay." Zhao He took the basket, opened the lid and took a look inside.

"Yeah, brother, I'm leaving. I'll finish the job when I come back from fetching millet two more times. I'll come back later to help you." After delivering the things, Zhao Hu carried their bag again. One copy is gone.

"Let's walk around."

"What are you holding here?"

"Hey, my brother made pancakes for us."

When he went out, he saw the person who came back with him just now was waiting for him by the side of the donkey cart. The two of them got into the donkey cart together, drove the donkey back to the field, and delivered food to everyone.

As soon as they heard that there was something to eat, a group of people gathered around and divided up the basket of cakes. One by one, each of you held a burrito, and ate deliciously, as if you had done such a long day of work. Eating two or three pancakes like this can restore all your strength.

Zhao Hu only ate three pancakes at home, and he didn't say that he had eaten pancakes at home when he got here. Now when he saw others eating pancakes, he ran over to get them again.Anyway, as long as he doesn't say it, no one will know that he has eaten it.And three are not enough for him to squeeze between his teeth, and he can easily eat three more.

There are also eggs, leeks and shredded cucumber and radish sandwiched in the pancakes, which are more filling than plain pancakes and taste better.In the past, they never thought that food should be delicious, and it would be good if they could eat enough.

But every time I go to work at Zhao's house, I can have such an exquisite meal.

If they could have two good meals like this every day, they would be willing to come to Zhao's house to help with work every day.But of course there is no such job every day, and there will be nothing tomorrow after finishing this day.

"Delicious, delicious, really delicious."

"Yeah, that's right, the food made by Brother Qiao is so delicious."

"Your brother's craftsmanship is too good."

"Hey Hey……"

Zhao Hu was happier to hear others praise his brother's skill than to hear others praise himself.After eating three more pancakes, he remembered that he had already eaten three pancakes just now, and he was embarrassed to go to get them again. He still remembered to pour a glass of water for his mother-in-law and his father-in-law, "Em, Uncle Chen, you drink saliva."

"Okay." Zhao Amu took the water that his son poured for him, and passed it to Brother Chen who was sitting beside him.

Chen Yan was still biting the pancake when a glass of water was stuffed into his hand.

Knowing that there are not many drinking water here, he quickly raised his head and drank the water in the glass, and then passed the glass to others for drinking.

There are quite a lot of pancakes in the basket, and one person can eat three of them. You can add leeks, eggs, and shredded cucumber and radish. Everyone knows that this bowl of eggs and leeks is a good thing, but I am too embarrassed to take too much. One small spoon per person, After a lap, it was installed by everyone.

Finally, the pancakes were finished, and there was no leftover shredded cucumber and radish.

They are brothers and sisters working today, and everyone works fast, and they have harvested all the millet in just one morning.At noon, after everyone ate and drank some water, they went to beat the remaining millet and put them into baskets. These men also helped to carry the beaten millet to the slope so that Zhao Hu could load it on the cart Pull it home.

Help the Zhao family finish harvesting the crops, and they have nothing to do with the rest.

It was agreed in advance that they would come to help the Zhao family collect grain, and the threshing machine would be lent to a few of them first.So as soon as the Zhao family finished harvesting the millet, they borrowed the threshing machine by the way.

As for other families in the village who want to borrow the threshing machine, they can only wait.

At this time, adults and children from every household in the village went to work in the fields, only the couple of Qiao's family and their two sons had never even been out of the house.Neither of the husband and wife are willing to go to work in the fields. The land in their family is leased to the people in the village, and they just wait for others to collect the grain and pay them the land rent.

So when other people's homes were sweating and working in the fields, the couple brought their two sons to enjoy the cool breeze at home, without even being exposed to the sun outside...
