Chapter 147

Seeing the two of them waiting for her, Xiao Qi was so embarrassed that he jumped on the bullock cart and said softly, "Sister-in-law, please wait."

"It's okay." After Wang shook the reins in his hand, the scalper immediately started to move, and the carriage behind him also started to move.

While driving the bullock cart, Mrs. Wang looked at the little girl beside her, and asked a little strangely:

"Xiaoqi, what did you see just now? Running so fast."

The sister-in-law's question made Xiaoqi happy again, and said happily with crescent eyes:
"Sister-in-law, it's because I saw my grandpa, grandpa and uncles came to help, and I ran over when I couldn't control my excitement. I must tell my mother when I go back. Mother hasn't seen grandpa and them for a long time. It must be a pleasure to know this news.”

Seeing the happy look of the little girl, Mrs. Wang also laughed. This kind of sister-in-law really looks like a seven or eight-year-old child.

Usually, she is too old, like a little adult, so that people around her subconsciously forget the age of my little sister.

No wonder the little girl was so happy, she was happy to hear that, the mother-in-law's natal family is really good.

Especially grandpa and grandma, they are really kind to them, including her granddaughter-in-law who gets the warmest reception every time she goes there.

Although she was happy, Mrs. Wang quickly withdrew her mind and concentrated on driving the ox cart. Even if the distance was not too far, she couldn't be careless, otherwise it would be a waste of time if the wheat fell.

The two cars arrived at Lu's house in a short while. The front yard was full of wheat, which was neatly arranged, with their heads upside down on the tarpaulin to dry in the sun.

The two cars were quickly unloaded, and thanks to the large yard of Lu's house, otherwise so much wheat might not be able to be put down.

But this time, Xiaoqi and the others were not in a hurry to leave, because they still had to bring the noon food over.

Qiu Jing declined the offer from Lu's sister-in-law to let him rest for a while before going to the field, how could he, a big man, have the nerve to rest here?The people in the field are very busy.

Soon Qiu Jing disappeared in his carriage.

In the kitchen, Wei Shi and his two daughters-in-law were busy busy. The temperature in the kitchen was so high that the sweat on their bodies was no less than that of those who worked in the field.

Jinxiu was entrusted with the important task of taking care of her two younger brothers in the room, restraining them from running to the front yard.

The tops of the wheat are all covered with awns, and they were stabbed later. Judging by the mischievous appearance of these two little guys, this kind of thing will definitely happen.

In the kitchen here, Wei Shi prepared the last cold dish, cold cucumber, and then satisfactorily poured sesame oil on it, and finally it was all done.

She prepared a total of two cooking dishes and two cold dishes, and the other cold dish was cold beans topped with fragrant sesame sauce.

The dish is braised roe deer and hare meat in soy sauce. Both roe deer and hare are lean meats, so they must be cooked with pork to be delicious. Putting enough spicy peppers in it will definitely make people want to eat it.

Although there is no pork in the house, there is a lot of lard.

In order to cook it deliciously, Mrs. Wei asked Mrs. Li to put a small pot of lard in it, and the dishes with lard are delicious.

A whole roe deer was burnt up, thanks to the big iron pot of their family, otherwise it really wouldn't be able to hold it.

An iron pot is full, except for the green and red spicy peppers, the rest is meat, but half of these should be reserved for a late meal.

Even if it is only half of it, it is definitely enough to fill the large bowl used for making noodles.

The other cooking dish is tofu stewed with oil. Of course, there are still green and red peppers in it. The green, white, and red ones are filled with a big pot, which is really beautiful.

The staple food is two barrels of white rice porridge and several large baskets of white flour steamed buns. Seeing these Wei Shi is relieved, finally finished his work.

When Xiaoqi and Wang came to the backyard with their ox cart and entered the kitchen, all the lunch meals were ready and waiting to be loaded into the cart.

Seeing that everything was ready and satisfied, Wei Shi was about to leave the kitchen, and wanted to go to the front yard to see if his daughter and eldest daughter-in-law had returned?

Just when he was about to take a step, he looked up and saw the eldest daughter-in-law and daughter coming in, and he immediately laughed.

"It's really time for you to come. I just wanted to go out and have a look. The lunch is already ready and waiting to be loaded."

Xiaoqi saw his mother strode over, and said mysteriously and happily: "Mother, guess who I saw in the field?"

Wei Shi looked at the mischievous daughter suspiciously, there were not many people who could make the little girl guess.

Looking at the little girl's happy expression, the answer is already very clear, yes, it must be that father got the news and came to help.

Thinking of this, Wei patted his daughter's shoulder anxiously, "Stinky girl, if you want to say something, say it quickly, don't fool your mother."

Seeing that Mother was anxious, Xiaoqi smiled and stopped being a joke.

"Mother, I saw grandpa and uncles in the field."

Sure enough, it was what she expected, which really surprised and surprised her.

Father didn't know where he got the news, so he rushed over from a long distance. He didn't know if he was tired at such an advanced age. Thinking of this, Wei Shi was really anxious.

Alas, my father and father-in-law are both people who don't obey the old people, so it's okay not to let them do it. They are juniors and they can't interfere too much, otherwise the old men will be unhappy, and they are the ones who are unlucky.

In previous years, it was not that I never thought about asking my natal family to come and help, but after much deliberation, I finally gave up and invited people from the same village.

The main reason is that the village of my mother’s family is nearly ten miles away from here, and my father and brothers are quite tired just walking all the way.

In addition, within a few days, the land in my mother's house will start to be harvested. If this continues for a few days, Wei Shi is afraid that his father and brothers will be exhausted.

After all, their age is really not young.

Speaking of which, she hasn't seen her parents for a while.

It has been nearly half a year since celebrating her father's birthday last winter, and she hasn't had time to go back and have a look. She is too unfilial as a daughter.

No, she has to follow when the meal is delivered later, it would be too disgraceful and unfilial if she knew that her father would come or not.

"Mother, are you happy? Let's deliver food together later, so that mother can see grandpa and uncles." Xiao Qi happily interrupted Wei Shi's meditation as he said to mother.

Returning to his senses, Wei smiled gently at his daughter, "Yes, mother is very happy, and we will deliver meals together as arranged by Xiaoqi later."

After finishing speaking, Wei Shi turned to the second and third daughter-in-laws in the kitchen and said, "You don't have to wait for me anymore, you can feed yourself at home and take care of the little ones. When I come back, we will thresh the wheat together."

Hearing this, the two daughters-in-law nodded their heads.

Then several people put the food and steamed buns onto the bullock cart one by one. Of course, tableware, chopsticks and spoons are also essential, as well as several large buckets of clean water, and several empty basins, face towels and hand towels. Another kang table was moved from the room,
After everything was ready, the three of them drove out of Lu's house in an ox cart and headed for the fields.

……

Wen's next door
"Butler Xi, why do I always hear the sound of oxen and carriages running back and forth."

Tired of reading, Wen Gu, who was taking a walk in the courtyard, questioned Butler Xi who was following him in doubt.

I really know about this butler.

After all, the oxen and carriages kept running back and forth for a long time. Although the movement was not too loud, they could still be heard because of the close distance between the two families.

Feeling strange, he went out to have a look, only to realize that the food grown in the Lu family's fields had already begun to be harvested.

Ordinarily, it seemed that the wheat in the field was not yet ready for harvest at this time, but the Lu family's wheat was already ripe.

Not to mention, Mr. Lu is really good at growing crops, Butler Xi sighed in his heart.

Butler Xi hurriedly said respectfully to the little master, "Master, that's because the Lu family next door is harvesting grain.

The horse-drawn carts and ox carts at home are carrying grain home, which is why the master always hears the sound of ox carts. "
