Chapter 52 Rice

At the end of August, the rice is ripe.

The whole family goes into battle, of course, Li Xiaoyu's short legs are useless.

The paddy fields in the Bamboo Forest are all deep paddy fields. Even if the rice is harvested and the water in the fields is drained, it is not a small bean like her that can go down.

If you really want to go down, you will only see a head raised on two shoulders.

In this era, pesticides and chemical fertilizers were not used (either there was no chemical fertilizer, or even a small remote mountain village could not use it.)

There are many eels, loach and river mussels in the fields.

River mussels the size of one hand of an adult man are thrown everywhere by the roadside.

No one wants to eat river mussels because of the strong fishy smell and oil consumption.

The villagers only pick the big ones to catch the yellow eels and mud shovels, and they don’t catch them if they have enough for a bowl, and no one wants to grab the small ones.

But Li Xiaoyu doesn't dislike it, she refuses anyone who comes, and even asks her brother and sister to arrest her specially.

Everyone in the family is willing to spoil her, and for these things, they bring them home in buckets.

Li Yunxiu couldn't help but ask Du Xuehua curiously: "Siniang, can your family catch so much to eat?

Not to mention the oil, but also fishy. "

" Isn't that what Xiao Yuer likes to eat? It happens that there is no water in the field so I can grab more." Li Ma replied.

"Your family is just good to the girl, and you are not afraid of your two sons hating you if you let them read and eat meat?"

" Those are our sisters and sisters, we would rather not read or eat meat, we have to let them read and eat meat first." Li Chengji looked at her like a fool.

In Li Xiaoyu's house these few days, she and Grandpa Li were cooking. She was cooking on a stool, and Grandpa Li set fire for her.

The Li family eats eels and loach in different ways every day, and they are all big and fat.

The river mussels and the small yellow eels and loaches were all thrown by her into the space creek to breed, and they were life-saving things in difficult times.

Eat this kind of field stuff, no one will gossip.

In this busy farming season, many people will have the smell of meat wafting out.

If you don't eat a lot of oil, your body will not be able to carry it.

Li Xiaoyu will also take advantage of this time to sneak out of the meat in the space, so that those who eat it have no doubts.

Every time the Li family came back and saw her cooking, they were terrified.

I was afraid that she would fall into the iron pot unsteadily and cook herself in one pot.

When    came back, he quietly walked behind Li Xiaoyu and took the shovel in her hand in a soft voice. The little one still didn't do it.

If the whole family went to work, she didn't do the work herself.

So she had to cook, and let Li's father and Li's mother go to rest.

When Li Ma saw the oil she poured, she twitched in heartache. She wanted to scold but was reluctant.

can only cover his chest and leave, out of sight is pure.

Several dishes with bright red oil, braised yellow eel, dried loach, river mussel soup, roasted eggplant, double-cooked pork, stir-fried red bean sprouts, big white rice, the Li family's mouth is full of oil.

Li Ma couldn't help but complained in her heart, stinky girl, put so much oil, it's not delicious, but it's delicious.

Mama Li, who was heartbroken, could only turn grief and anger into appetite.

The Li family also agreed with Li Xiaoyu's cooking skills, but repeatedly told her to be careful not to hurt herself.

This year, the Li family's rice yield is about 360 catties per mu, and the eight people are divided into three acres and two parts of the land. After removing the public grain, they can have more than 700 catties. This is the highest yield in the village.

The millet entered the warehouse and the school opened.

Father Li asked for leave to send Li Xiaoyan to the county town to report, and also took Li Chengji away (to go to the county town, he had to go through the town).

Li Xiaoyu wanted to follow, but was firmly rejected by Li's father.

The small courtyard in the county town has all the basic necessities, just bring two quilts, food, and a change of clothes. It will be winter vacation when you come back.

Because the Li family owns a house in the county seat, Li’s father took the things she needed to the small courtyard and asked her to pick them up when she needed them, and lived in the small courtyard during the holidays.

My home is too far from the county seat, and I usually don’t have enough time to go home during school holidays.

Li Xiaoyu looked at the deserted yard. Two older brothers and sisters left home to go to school, Sange Village went to school, Laohaner Township Health Center went to work, and there were two women left.

But grandpa and grandma are at home, there are two town houses, which is fine.

(No, Li Xiaoyu, you can't be called a woman yet, you can only be regarded as a little girl.)
