It's unusual for a farmer to have a girl

Chapter 43

After grinding the field, the next step is to harvest the wheat.

At this time, the school will be on holiday, and the two older brothers will also help at home.

There is no summer vacation in the school here, only the busy farming vacation.

Even with an ox cart, harvesting wheat is the hardest job.

The whole family was so tired that their backs were sore and their legs hurt. The second uncle and elder brother were too tired to eat.

It was exhausting.

After the family was busy collecting the wheat, they began to plant melons, sweet potatoes, sorghum and millet.

With their faces facing the loess and their backs facing the sky, all of them were tanned to black charcoal.

After surviving this rush, it will be the summer solstice in a blink of an eye.

There is no custom of Dragon Boat Festival here.Because the Dragon Boat Festival is the busy time of farming.

There is a custom of visiting relatives after the wheat harvest, which is called "going to the wheat to stop relatives".

It means that the wheat is harvested, let's go visit relatives.

From the end of May to the beginning of June, such sounds would be heard in the village from time to time.

"Are you going to visit your relatives?"

"Yes, we went late this year. It has been busy until now, so we can't take our hands off."

"It's not too late, my daughter just came here."

Conversations like these continued until June [-]th.

Naturally, Mrs. Li also went back to her mother's house, and this year it was the second uncle who drove the ox cart.

Xiao Mian suddenly remembered that she had never seen her mother go back to her mother's house since she came here.

So I asked my eldest sister, and only then did I know that my mother also has her own family.

It's just that my mother's family is in Xishan County, and the road is far and difficult to travel. Since my father left, my mother has never walked past my mother's house.

Xishan County also belongs to the Fenghuangling area.

It's just that Xiaomian's home is in Fenghuangtou, and Xishan County is in Fenghuangwei.

Back then, because my father had a stepmother, the people nearby who knew about it were not willing to let their daughter marry him, because they were afraid that the stepmother would not be easy to get along with.

That's right, these days, a mother-in-law can't tolerate a daughter-in-law, let alone a step-mother-in-law.

So Dad spent five taels of silver to find a matchmaker and tell a girl from another county who didn't know his real situation.

Only then did the Song family be deceived.

Listening to the lively greetings in the village, Xiao Mian looked at her mother's calm expression.

Mother must also be homesick, right?

"Mother, our family has an ox cart now, why don't we also go to grandma's house to visit relatives?"

Mrs. Song glanced at her, shook her head and said, "Let's talk about it in two years."

She doesn't go there now, just guarding this home.

Wait for a few children to pass the catastrophe...

June [-]th is not a holiday, but this day is very lively.

Because every household is frying fried noodles.

It is ground with raw white flour, this year's new wheat.

Put the white noodles into a large iron pan and stir-fry until the noodles change color and they are cooked.

When eating, scald it with boiling water. It can be thick or thin, and sugar can be added.

It is said that eating fried noodles fried on June [-]th can cure diarrhea.

Li Benshan sat in the yard, looking at the half bowl of fried noodles in front of him, looking like he couldn't eat.

Mrs. Li asked him: "Is it not sweet? Do you want to put some more sugar?"

Li Benshan shook his head, and suddenly asked Mrs. Song: "Sister-in-law, do we have a lot of fried noodles?"

"A lot have been fried." Mrs. Song pointed to the eight bucket basket in the room, "Most of the basket is there."

The eight bucket basket is made of peeled wicker and is very compact.It will not leak when used to hold noodles.

Li Benshan took a bite of fried noodles, sighed, and said casually: "My father likes fried noodles. I don't know if anyone fried them for him."

Ever since he was taken care of by his father, Li Benshan has been like this. If there is something delicious, he must think of his father.

Song smiled, "Then give him two liters."

Li Benshan smiled embarrassedly when he saw through his thoughts, and said, "One liter is enough for him to eat."

"Then I'll deliver it."

Xiao Mian remembered the strangeness of the old house, and decided to find out for herself.

During the busy period, no one paid attention to the old house.

It's just that I occasionally meet old man Li in the fields.

Grandpa is indeed different from before.

Seeing their sisters, they no longer have dark faces.

Moreover, he will show a kind appearance, and every time he will ask his health and care about him.

Especially once when he saw Sanshun, he actually hugged Sanshun for the first time.

The old man's actions left the whole family dumbfounded.

It is really unprecedented, unprecedented, and the first time in history.

It's not just that the grandfather and grandson are becoming more and more intimate.

When old man Li spoke to Mrs. Song, his previous tension was gone.

Fortunately, he said in a good voice: take your time to work, if you can't finish it, he will ask the family's day laborer to come over for two days.

Although it was just talking, and it was a perfunctory talk.

I am just joking!

But these people at home.

Needless to say, the second uncle, Xiao Mian couldn't bear to look at the scene of a loving father and a filial son.

Even the mother who has the deepest resentment towards the old house has changed her view of the old man.

What's even more ridiculous is Xiao Sanshun.

Usually, when seeing old man Li, the little guy would call out "Grandpa" timidly at best.

But now, seeing the old man from a distance, he is like a butterfly, yelling "Grandpa" and flying over.

This grandpa who never even gave him jelly beans is so dear!
It's a great change.

The picture is so sweet.

It was so warm that the whole family didn't want to doubt it, they just wanted to sink.

Li Xiaomian watched and observed coldly.

I always feel that my grandpa is a bit fake.

The smile is fake, the speech is fake, and every action is so fake.

Xiao Mian wondered if her grandfather had also been possessed by time travel?
She even used a mouthful of spiritual spring water and forcibly used the mind-watching technique.

Make sure your grandpa is still that grandpa.

But why is the old man so pretentious?
Xiao Mian walked to the old house with a liter of fried noodles in her arms. Of course, her little follower, Li Xiaodao, naturally didn't want to be left behind.

The two sisters talked and laughed and walked towards the old house.

From time to time along the way, someone greeted them.

Since Li Benshan built a water wheel for the village, the villagers have become more enthusiastic when talking to their children.

"Hey, Mian girl, is this another gift for your grandfather?"

Xiao Mian smiled and said: "Yes, my mother and second aunt made fried noodles, let us send some to my grandfather, my grandfather loves it."

"Look at how filial this kid is, giving things every three days."

"That's right, brother Li is blessed, and the children are truly filial."

"No, if you give gifts during the holidays, you have to give them. If you don't give them something during the holidays, it means you are in your heart."

The entrance of Li's old house.

The gate of the old house was closed, and Xiao Mian and Xiao Dao lay on the crack of the door and looked inside.

"Is anyone there?" Xiaodao asked.

"Nothing." Xiao Mian replied.

Xiaodao: "Why is Grandpa's house closed during the day?"

Xiao Mian glared at her: "Are you stupid? Of course no one at home closed the door."

Xiaodao took a look at her clever second sister: "Second sister, the door is not locked, it is stuck inside."

Who is that stupid?Is locking the door from the inside the same as locking the door from the outside?

Li Xiaomian: ...

The two of them lay on the crack of the door and watched for a long time. It was very quiet inside, not even a chicken crowing.

Xiaodao suddenly became a little scared, she asked with a pale face, "Don't tell me something happened?"

"Did something really happen?" Xiao Mian's heart skipped a beat.

Both sisters are a bit of a conspiracy theory.

Xiao Mian frowned, narrowed her eyes, leaned on the door, and carefully observed the yard through the crack of the door.

There was no demonic aura, nor was there any trace of ghostly aura.

If there is anything, it is that the other party's morality is deeper than his own.

Or, nothing happened, they were scaring themselves.

"Clap clap clap."

"grandfather……"

The two knocked on the door to call for someone, and Xiao Dao's thin voice called out, like a high-decibel Qingdi, with strong penetrating power.
