pastoral life

Wang Mingchuan had a gloomy face since he came back, Mingzhu looked scared, she didn't dare to intervene in cooking, washing dishes and sweeping the floor, watching Wang Mingchuan finish all these things, coax his younger siblings into the house and... He also coaxed into the house.

"Mingchuan..."

Mingzhu huddled on the bed and looked at Wang Mingchuan. She didn't expect such a doll to look so imposing when she lowered her face. Mingzhu was shamefully overwhelmed by a child who was several years younger than him, and she was a little cautious in her voice.

"Why are you so careless?"

Wang Mingchuan lightly touched Mingzhu's forehead with his fingers. Although he had already treated it when he came back in the afternoon, it was still a lot of red now, with two bulging eyes hanging under the red forehead. Don't mention how happy it is to see , but in Wang Mingchuan's eyes, he only felt remorse, his fingers moved away from Mingzhu's forehead and slowly slid down, Mingzhu stiffened her body and tilted her head up slightly to be teased.

What the hell is this feeling of being suppressed by the aura and not being able to control your hands and feet!

Mingzhu was flustered, Wang Mingchuan has been in a bad mood since he came home today, not only did he notice it, but even Xiaotan's girl noticed it, don't mention how neat her legs and feet are when she washes up at night, Mingzhu wants to help her by the way There is no chance to delay for a while, and now those little ones are relieved, but they are left alone to face Wang Mingchuan who is showing signs of blackening. Woolen cloth!

However, Wang Mingchuan didn't seem to notice that the body under the fingertips trembled slightly, he only traced the outline under the fingertips, bit by bit, and finally the fingertips stopped on the pale pink lips together with his eyes.

Pearl froze.

Seemingly anticipating that something would happen, Mingzhu plucked up the courage to run away, but unexpectedly, she was angered by Wang Mingchuan's words.

"You look so ugly."

From this moment, Mingzhu decided to hate all good-looking people.

Not waiting for Mingzhu to burn his anger on Wang Mingchuan, the latter directly touched Mingzhu's lips with a low □, and when their lips and teeth met, they both stood still for a moment.

The first... first kiss is gone.

Mingzhu was in a daze. In his previous life, he had never dated a girlfriend because of his sexual orientation, and he had never dated a boyfriend because of his family, so that...the first kiss has been kept until now.

There was a soft touch on her lips, and when she raised her eyes to see Wang Mingchuan's beauty so close at hand, for the first time, Mingzhu truly felt her extremely abnormal heartbeat when facing Wang Mingchuan.

"thump--"

"thump--"

As if he was being bewitched, he opened his lips slightly by accident and kissed Wang Mingchuan's lower lip lightly. The overlapping happened in the blink of an eye. Mingzhu didn't even realize what he had done, but the other party was encouraged. He hugged Mingzhu's shoulders tightly with his arms and grinded Mingzhu's lips carefully.This is the first time for Mingzhu, so why not for Wang Mingchuan, this field is blank and sacred to both of them, he just wants to get closer, to feel the person in his arms more intensely, until they are integrated into the flesh and blood, and they can no longer be together. Separation, no longer let others wantonly bully.

I don't know whose tongue touched whose first, and when a slender silver thread escaped from the corner of their lips, the two of them fell on the bed in disheveled clothes. Wang Mingchuan's body reacted, and Mingzhu herself was not much better. Go, but because this body is still too young after all, he refrained from asking Wang Mingchuan to get close, and the two only let each other go after a lot of tossing and helping each other.Wang Mingchuan held Mingzhu in his arms and did not let go. The two hot bodies were bound to be sticky in this summer night, but Mingzhu was too lazy to move. Wang Mingchuan was also happy to get tired of him. The husband and wife entangled like this and fell asleep together until the next day. ... both got up late.

Mingzhu got up in a hurry to wash up, while Wang Mingchuan stuck behind him and asked Mingzhu to wipe his face. What happened last night was still in Mingzhu's mind. He didn't bother to talk to Wang Mingchuan. Serve carefully, Wang Mingchuan didn't think it was just a joke at first, but took it seriously, took the towel from Mingzhu's hand, soaked it in water and wrung it dry, then held Mingzhu's cheek with one hand and carefully wiped it for him.Mingzhu was stunned for a while, and her face turned red before she could react.

Although it's a bit embarrassing to describe it like this, he has to say...it doesn't feel bad to be held in the palm of the heart by someone.

Just when Mingzhu was thinking about it, someone pressed a light kiss between her brows, and someone whispered in his ear:

"I will study hard."

"Be a high official."

If you want to live a good life, only you bully others, no one can bully you.

Wang Mingchuan didn't say the last sentence, but Mingzhu understood it. Just at this moment, there was a noise outside, probably the younger ones also got up, and the two of them went into the kitchen to light the fire and cook without further delay.

**

The days are still going on like this, although Wang Mingchuan said that he will not delay in going to the field, but he is more concerned about reading. In midsummer, it is always dark and early, so apart from normal work, he has freed up a lot of time for reading.Mingzhu had more money in hand, and she tried every means to get food for the whole family. After all, each of them got rid of the old sallow and thin skin and gradually became fatter. Even the Jiang family and the Fang family who often came to their house were also plump. There are quite a few, and it is very gratifying to watch with a red face day by day.

Outsiders can see that those who get close to the Wang family are lucky, so after this, the villagers treat the Wang family better, and they don't dare to use their brains to exchange things.

Nowadays, wild hawthorns and wild sweet potatoes are becoming less and less. Mingzhu no longer wants these two and has started to replace them with dragon beans and thorny sickles. Because the thorny sickles are thorny, fewer people are willing to pick them. Mingzhu's price is slightly higher.Glutinous rice and mung beans are also not accepted, only rapeseed, rice, wheat, etc.Their family planted less rice this year, so they had to stockpile some for emergencies. In the future, he still wanted to make cold shrimp and cold cakes, so he had to prepare more rice and wheat.In addition, I have to save some brown sugar. I just don’t know how much this thing sells outside. I can ask when I go to the city to pay the bill next time.

"Brother Mingzhu, what delicious food do you cook?"

Wang Xiaohu scratched the edge of the stove to watch Mingzhu's work, his black eyes were wide open, but Mingzhu fiddled with the things in his hand and ignored him, the child turned around like the tail growing behind Mingzhu's buttocks and refused to give up In the end, Wang Xiaotan also ran over at some point, and the little one followed Mingzhu closely, making him dumbfounded.

"Why do you all run to the kitchen to squat, the noses of you two are only good when you are looking for food, go and go, stay on the side."

Mingzhu filled her hands with a pot of boiling water just out of the pot, fearing that the two tender skins would be scalded, she called out loudly,

"Xiaoxi, come and take Xiaotan with you!"

There was Wang Xiaoxi's reply from the other side of the Yubi room, and the little girl ran over after a while, picking up the leaves picked from the dragon beans and throwing them into the garbage basket, and reached out to hold the little girl without saying a word. pond.

"My brother cooks delicious food, let's go out and wait, let's go, pick the leaves with my second sister."

The dragon beans and thorn sickles collected from the folks are inevitably mixed with some sundries. The small ones can be washed out, and the big ones need to be picked by hand. Xiaoxi is sensible and will run away every time someone brings them up. There, Mingzhu felt sorry for the little girl, so she spent money to ask other little girls in the village to help pick it up, and she paid a penny for a clean dustpan. After this, seven or eight little girls of different ages came to their house every day Picking up sundries around the bamboo basket, chattering vigorously, even Xiaoxi, who was born introverted, was quite cheerful.

"Be careful not to prick your hands, Xiaoxi, remember to put on your gloves!"

"Remember!"

Mingzhu took a look at Wang Xiaohu, the latter giggled at him, revealing the gap in his teeth, not to mention how happy he was.

"Don't worry about it, you can't eat sugar when you change your teeth, and now I can't give you this thing when I make it, if you don't listen to it, copy the book!"

The child was shocked, and stuck out his tongue to lick his gums that had just come out after losing his teeth two days ago, and decided to go outside to rob his brothers. Brother Mingzhu said, a true buddy is one who enjoys the same blessings and suffers the same.

After the child left, Mingzhu started to toss about the work at hand, and he was going to try making cold cakes today.

During the summer in Shu, you must hear such a sentence——

Cold cake, cold shrimp, ice powder!

No matter whether you are at home or in the teaching building, whether you are working or playing, as long as it is summer, as long as there is a window facing the road, you can definitely hear the tone from the electronic speaker that has not changed for several years——

Cold cake, cold shrimp, ice powder!

Summer is incomplete without these three things. What I want most after eating Bo Bo Chicken or all kinds of spicy food in summer is such a cold and sweet bowl. Some people love ice Some people like cold shrimp and cold cakes, but no matter which one you want, the comfort in your heart is the same.

Ice powder is solidified by rubbing out the liquid and water with Bingzier. Mingzhu didn’t know where to buy Bingzier, so she had to start with cold cake and cold shrimp, which was the most convenient material. I chose the same cold cake.He clarified the lime water first, scooped out a basin and put it aside for later use, then poured the flour into a large basin, mixed it with water and stirred it evenly, until the flour and water were fully fused and turned into a thin white soup, and he left his hands free. So he put the pot of lime water in the pot to steam. It should have been directly heated, but because it is difficult to adjust the heat in the earthen stove, he directly switched to steaming.After the lime water was heated up, he took a spoonful of white soup and slowly added it into the water, stirring while adding, until the whole pot of white soup was put in. After that, he could not do without people, and the pearl was still there. Standing by the earthen stove, he watched the condition of the pot while stirring. When the color changed and the smell came out, he took out the pot with a wet towel.There is no refrigerator at home, only a water tank. Mingzhu divided the big basin into four small basins, waited for it to cool down, and put it in the water tank to keep it on ice.

He admitted that it was the idea of ​​digging a well at the beginning, but because the well was too deep, the probability of putting it in without overturning the basin was a bit small, so in the end he had to settle for the next best thing and put it in a water tank. It was ice time when I just picked it out of the well this morning, so it's not too bad to think about it.

"Pearl, Pearl!"

Fang Tiezhu's voice came from the yard, and when he went out to look, he saw the stone mill that he had been waiting for for a long time arrive, and he was so happy that his whole face shone brightly.

"Brother Fang, this trip has been really hard for you, come on, sit in the room."

Mingzhu brought people into the house, served tea and water, and prepared some homemade snacks. Fang Tiezhu ate and drank while fanning the palm-leaf fan. This feeling was more comfortable than the official.

"I'm not complimenting you. You don't know how to grow your brain. It's really easy to use! It's all grown on the mountain and your ancestors have eaten it for so many years. How could you just get it out and make a lot of money?"

Fang Tiezhu talked nonsense with Mingzhu while eating the haw jelly, and now the haw jelly is almost out of stock, and it has been sold outside for a tael of silver, and a box of ordinary people can't afford it!

"Hey, it's not like you don't know what's going on in our family. It's a way out when you have no way out."

Fang Tiezhu also knew the reason. If his family had land and was busy harvesting, they would be too busy to do it. How would they have time to worry about it? This would be considered a blessing for the family.

"But don't think that Brother Fang poured cold water on you. I'm afraid you won't be able to sell this hawthorn cake next year."

Mingzhu also sighed when he heard the words, this time he took the initiative, after the other family members realized that the wild hawthorn and wild sweet potatoes were also out of season, next year many people should have figured out a way to do it on their own, and there will be more There are not many patrons, even if Tangpinzhai and Yunlaifang still charge this price, it is not the current price.

"I knew it early in the morning. It's not a difficult way to do it. There are a lot of people in the village with clever ideas. After thinking about it, you can guess the way. I just want to save some money now to make life easier. something."

The two chatted for a while before they got busy with the things at hand. Seeing the dragonfly flying low at the beginning of the sunset, Mingzhu looked into the yard. Sure enough, Wang Mingchuan was standing in the yard stupidly with a hoe on his shoulder and a straw hat on his back. Smile at him.

This fool.

Mingzhu wiped the flour off her hands and raised her head and let out a cry——

"time to eat!"

The children scattered around the house raised their necks and rushed to their own houses. The whole family ate, drank and laughed together. It was another normal day.

Who really wants to work hard to earn a lot of money that is not safe to put anywhere, but it is enough for the family to live a stable life like this.
