Chapter 19 19. I have rice
"What's wrong with being eighteen? Uncle Wu and I were married at the age of eighteen. You, at such a young age, go out and bring one back. Don't be like Wu Dashui from the village. He doesn't even have a wife at his age of several decades. Wandering around outside all day long! Besides, there is no rule in the village that people must not get married until they are eighteen, have a baby sooner and give your mother a grandchild sooner!" Aunt Wu said with a mocking look on her face.

Although Wu Tianyi dropped out of high school before graduating from high school, he learned a lot of knowledge online. At the age of [-], marriage was illegal.

However, he was worried that the other party was the village chief's wife and he was a junior, so he did not refute, "Aunt Wu, I still have something to do at home, so I'll go back quickly!"

Looking at Wu Tianyi who left in a hurry, Aunt Wu's smile disappeared in an instant, she sighed, and gloated: "I can't even finish high school, and I hang out all day long. Sooner or later, I will be a second-rate person! This Wu Zhen family is in decline. ~”

……

"Mom! I'm back!" Wu Tianyi shouted, with a smile on his face. What happened to Aunt Wu just now did not affect his good mood.

Mother Wu was cooking pig food for the pigs. She put large chunks of unwanted sweet potatoes into the pot. She glanced at her smiling son and covered the pot lid, "Found a job? Let me tell you, you'd better go back to school as soon as possible. Reading, do you know what the village says about me these days..."

Mother Wu got angry when she thought of the gossip in the village, saying that her son was a second-rate and worthless, but she didn't say anything to her face, but kept saying the same thing behind her back, and she couldn't fall out.

"Mom, don't be angry. It's not like you don't know that everyone in the village is a talkative woman." Wu Tianyi didn't care and said with a smile: "I did find a job temporarily. He is a person from the city. Let me help. Give me 300 yuan a day to buy things!"

Mother Wu paused with the machete in her hand, "Three, three hundred? Your dad only gets three hundred a day in the city, don't be fooled!"

"No, I have already received today's wages, and I have to go to the city tomorrow. Mom, I have occupied your mobile phone for the past two days. This is a temporary job, and one day at a time counts!" "Savage" on the mountain There is always a way to go, and one day at a time it becomes less and less.

Thinking about the rice in the other person's mouth, he looked tentatively at his mother, "Mom, I want to buy fresh farm rice from the countryside, any rice within two years is fine. Don't we have it at home? Do you want to see if it is sold?"

Mother Wu thought about the well-dressed city dwellers in the video, eating and drinking all day long, and then she thought of the 'local specialties' in the countryside, saying they were natural and had no hormones.

So he didn't express any surprise at this, but smiled and said: "Sell! How much did she buy? If it's more, the price will be lower."

The grain stored in the granary is enough to feed her family of three for several years. The food that is not finished is also sold, whether it is sold early or late.

Wu Tianyi suppressed his excitement and said, "People say that the rice that needs to be punched out must be dozens of kilograms at most. I will bring some over tomorrow and ask her if she wants it."

The matter was settled like this, and early the next morning, he carried his things around the rural roads and went up the mountain with a flashlight.

Wen Xia was very surprised when she saw him. She looked at the newly lit morning light on the mountainside and asked, "Are you so early?"

"Hey! It's getting late. Well, I didn't disturb your rest." Wu Tianyi said awkwardly.

The man shook his head and breathed a sigh of relief. He handed over the big bag in his hand and said, "This is the new rice at my house. Do you want this kind or should I go to the city to buy it for you?"

The rice bag was also a snakeskin bag. When Wen Xia opened the bag, a fresh fragrance of rice came out. She grabbed a handful, and there was white rice ash remaining on her fingers.

"Didn't you say you can only buy it in the city?"

"I quietly asked my mother that our family has more than 200 kilograms of excess rice that can be sold. If you want it, I will give you two yuan a kilogram. But if you want more, you have to go to the city to buy it," he said. Be careful.

Wen Xia nodded, feeling satisfied, "I want two hundred kilograms. I'll give you three yuan a kilogram. Please help me go to the city to pick up some things in the past few days. I also bought some things on the shopping website last night. I bought something, and the delivery number is your mother’s mobile phone number. You can help me get it back when the time comes.

I also want a few wooden containers, a large bathtub, a bathtub, and cabinets. You can help me buy them. I lack everything here. "

The things she bought were relatively loose, including food, drink, and useful equipment. The express delivery was expedited, just waiting for urgent use.

Unfortunately, my phone ran out of battery and I haven’t bought the things I wanted to buy.

Wu Tianyi was stunned, "You, you won't go home?"

Wutai Village is not a nice place...

"I want it back, but don't I have to use it in the next few days? Buy it for me and take it with me when my dad comes!" Wen Xia told a white lie, briefly explained, and handed the phone to Wu Tianyi After taking down the mountain to recharge, we returned to the yard to prepare for breakfast.

What a coincidence, just when I was thinking about what to eat in the morning, rice was delivered.

……

Wu Tianyi happily went down the mountain, speeding up and bypassing the villagers standing on the roadside holding bowls and chopsticks, ignoring the scolding behind him, and hurried home.

"Mom! I'll give you three yuan. You can beat out all the rice today and pack it. I'll come and get the things to deliver in the evening. I'm going out now. Don't make any noise about it. Otherwise, we won't be able to do this good thing of selling things. Got it!"

Mother Wu laughed and said, "You want more than 200 kilograms? Are you sure she will pay three yuan a kilogram?"

The rice in the village is so cheap, but it can't be sold for much more than the price in the town. At most, it only costs two and a half yuan. It's true that he is the one who came from the city!

"It's a lot of hard work money for me. I'll send it over quietly at night. Mom, I'm leaving first, I don't have enough time!"

Wu Tianyi left in a hurry, hurriedly and slowly, and finally caught up with the morning market.

At the end of the village, Aunt Wu, who was carrying a vegetable basket, looked at the departing figure in the distance and sighed, "Going out so early in the morning, you deserve to be incompetent!"

A few smokes rose from the mountain forest, and white smoke flew into the air.

Wen Xia took out a small bag of snow-white rice, washed it carefully, put it into a simple pot, added water and boiled it.

The flames danced under the boiler, and she cooked on low heat throughout the process. The aroma of fresh rice came to her nostrils, like a poem filled with the fragrance of rice, gently brushing the tip of her nose.

She suddenly closed her eyes, as if she had returned to the time when she had plenty of food and clothing, as if she had gone back in time.

The rice porridge that I didn't bother to eat more in the past because of weight loss now seems quite precious now.

The idea of ​​'drinking porridge means drinking sugar water' is all nonsense!

She is craving for this bite right now!
The time for cooking porridge seemed to be stretched, but Wen Xia was immersed in it.She watched quietly as the rice in the pot gradually expanded and the water gradually turned into a milky white but transparent hazy state.When the porridge in the pot becomes plump and glutinous, Wen Xia gently cuts off the fire source and covers the pot, allowing the porridge to quietly thicken in the remaining heat.

The alluring aroma spreads and fills the air.

Little Huihui, who had never eaten rice porridge made by humans, gathered around the stove, wagging their tails excitedly, licking the drool, eager to taste it.

Wen Xia swallowed a mouthful, greedy and anxiously waiting, while taking out the roasted sweet potatoes that were not eaten last night and spreading them out, dividing them into four stone bowls, making them sticky with a spoon, and then picked them up Pot lid.

A burst of misty water vapor rose into the air and quickly disappeared. The rich fragrance of rice entered the nose, making people secrete body fluids from the tip of the tongue.

She filled several stone bowls with rice, added a small amount of rice soup, and used chopsticks to mix the cold sweet potato paste and the hot rice porridge. A strange sweet potato aroma was also aroused.Wen Xia couldn't wait any longer, so she picked up a bowl of hot porridge, carefully scooped up a spoonful, and couldn't wait to put it into her mouth.

"Ugh! It's so hot!" She opened her mouth to breathe, and then tasted the hard-earned taste that she hadn't tasted for almost a month with satisfaction.

The porridge melts in your mouth, and the delicate rice grains dance in your mouth, releasing a rich rice aroma and warmth.Every grain of rice is soft and plump, and the rich flavor is intoxicating.Wen Xia closed her eyes involuntarily, feeling that this rice porridge tasted better than the bone soup of the past few days.

I gave her two kilograms of meat and she didn’t want to change it!

"Woof woof woof!" Xiao Huang's tail swung excitedly, and his little body moved forward and back in front of the stone bowl. He was eager to try it, but was persuaded by the high temperature to retreat. He moved forward and back again, over and over again, anxiously. Jumping feet.

"Ouch?" Xiao Huihui looked at Xiao Huang inexplicably, as if he was looking at something mentally retarded.

Human beings can tolerate high-heat food far more than animals. Wen Xia ate a few more satisfied bites before looking at Xiao Huang who was looking at him anxiously on the ground, accusing him with an innocent face, "What's wrong? It's very hot now, wait a minute." Will you eat it again? You can easily get sick if you eat it too hot!"

Xiao Huihui:......

Maybe it's Wen Xia's quirk left by this month's hardship. She now has to make a big batch of whatever she wants, just because she's afraid of when it will be used.

After loading six or seven bowls, there was still more than half of the rice porridge in the pot.

She closed the lid and left just enough for lunch.

Eat and drink enough and start doing things.

The saplings Wen Xia collected last night have been soaked in muddy water in advance. Today, the blood on the ground in Wuming Realm has evaporated dry. Planting can begin after the farm tools arrive.

Before that, she had to cover the 'cesspit' in the backyard.

She had never had time to deal with it before, but now that she had free time, she couldn't stand the stench behind it.

The mountains are undulating. The first ray of sunshine in the morning passes through the mist and shines gently on the green mountains and green waters. The leaves flutter in the wind, forming mottled light and shadow, decorating the entire mountain forest in a picturesque and poetic way.

Green trees dot the mountains, as if nature is painting itself, creating countless natural works of art.

Wu Shuiniu was walking on the mountain road with a hunched and thin body. He was wearing an old coat with a large patch on the sleeve, and a pair of cloth shoes that were full of dirt and extremely dirty.
He was holding a hoe in his hand and was going to weed a third of the land on the mountain. He was actually hiding from the loud-voiced old woman at home, lest she say she was too lazy to work all day long and have to look at her face.Wait until noon and then go back for lunch.

"The stinky old woman always nags and doesn't want anyone to rest at home. Tigress, if I hadn't married you, I would still be an old woman now, and she would lose her temper in front of me, hum!"

Thinking of the yellow-faced woman at home, Wu Shuniu became extremely dissatisfied.

He walked to the edge of the field, threw away the hoe in his hand, and sat down on his butt in the middle of the field, half-lying down on the newly grown corn seedlings.

He crossed his legs and swung his left foot leisurely.

If you have a dog's tail in your mouth, you will look more comfortable than the heroes on TV.

"Hmm~" He hummed, his eyes staring at the mountains in the morning in trance.

The swinging left foot suddenly stopped, "Huh? How dare you set fire to the mountain!"

On the mountainside not far away, a burst of white smoke floated out from the tall trees, and he even saw the looming fire in the forest!
"Good guy! The government has said that mountains and forests should not be set on fire, but now they don't even burn gravestones, but there are still people committing crimes! I want to see who dares to set fire on the mountain!"

Wu Shuiniu spat and climbed up using his hands and feet. After taking a few steps, he hurriedly turned back to pick up the hoe, put it on his shoulders and carried it, and walked towards the place where the smoke was coming from.

There was only Wutai Village around, so he wanted to see which guy from Wutai Village he was. If he didn't cut some meat for himself today, humph, don't blame him for reporting to the village chief~
Wu Shuniu felt better at the thought of getting some small discounts.

After all, the tools were too crude. Wen Xia dug for a long time with a hoe made of simple metal sheets, and Xiao Huihui and others nearby helped dig with their claws. The five of them worked together for more than an hour, and finally managed to bury the filth in the pit.

She always felt that she smelled bad. She only washed her hair yesterday, and she happened to be able to boil water for a hot bath now.

Still using the wood that Xiao Huang Xiaobai found from outside, she rubbed the inside of the thatched house and washed it twice before she felt that her body was looser.

The clothes were bought by Wu Tianyi yesterday. They are wearable and of good quality, but the style is rather old-fashioned.

She was not a poor and particular person either. She put on a light red rural women's suit and a pair of ordinary rubber shoes, feeling refreshed.

"It's so cool! Hachi!"

After sneezing and rubbing her nose, Wen Xia quickly wrapped her clothes tightly and called Xiao Huihui to come in and help pour water.

"Ouch!"

The container filled with gray turbid water disappeared, and Xiao Huihui rushed out of the entrance of the Nameless Realm with one step, pouring the dirty water into the woods outside.

Wu Buffalo thought he was dazzled, why, how could there be a wolf?
"I'm young, could it be that I have the presbyopia seen on TV?" Wu Shuiniu muttered to himself as he rubbed his eyes, his body subconsciously making a retreating movement.

What is setting fire to the mountain, and what is a small advantage are instantly forgotten.

Just as he was about to turn around and run, he heard a sound of voices in the distance.

"Xiao Huihui! Go see where Dahuang and the others are!"

woman?How could there be a woman on the mountain?

And the sound was very unfamiliar.

Wu Shuiniu was confused when he saw the gray figure running to the other side of the mountain and quickly disappeared into the woods.

Hesitating in his heart, he tightened his grip on the hoe and said, "...Would you like to go take a look?"

Before he could take action, he saw not far away, a slim, wet-haired woman in red clothes. Although the clothes were simple, she could tell she had a very young face.

Even with her slim body in such clothes, she actually looks a hundred times better than the tigress at home!
Wu Shuniu's heart moved, his eyes stared straight at the woman's bare white neck, and he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
