Farmer's Head: Busy farming

Chapter 48 Adding Fire
Chapter 48

Li Daniu was so enthusiastic, Meng Changdong could only smile awkwardly, and replied vaguely, "Hehe, um, hehe, yes.'
"Uncle Meng, you can call me, anyway, I have nothing to do today." Li Daniu was still carrying a hoe on his shoulder, obviously planning to go to the field.

After all, Meng Hai was such an old man, looked at his hoe, and then said, "Dear bull, no need, it's okay, if you want to go to the field, you can do your work, our family is not a big deal."

Li Daniu is not willing to give up, this is an opportunity to show in front of sister Xi'er, he said, "Uncle Meng, who in our village doesn't know that I, Li Daniu, are good at work! Just call me, I don't need wages, Just let me have a meal."

Although it is said to ask for help, everyone who comes here has to pay wages. Although the payment is not much, it is worthwhile.

Meng Hai was originally a soft-hearted person, but now that Li Daniu was so active, he couldn't stand his nagging, so he agreed, "Well then, as soon as you and us arrive, we will go up the mountain after dinner."

"Hey! Success! I'll go back and get the ax." Li Daniu immediately beamed when he heard that Meng Hai agreed.

Meng Hai nodded, and then said, "Go, you will go directly to our house later."

"Okay, I'll go to Uncle Meng." Li Daniu nodded hastily, then turned and ran towards his yard.

Meng Changdong stood by and watched in a daze, and waited for Li Daniu to leave before he said, "Father, that Xi'er"

"Oh, it's not that I can't help it. It's like a child." Meng Hai also knew that this was not good, but he had already agreed. What can he do? Let her, let her not come out in the backyard."

"Success." Meng Changdong nodded, and this is the only way to go now.

Now, the troops can only be divided into two groups, Meng Changdong will go home to inform, and Meng Hai will continue to invite people to go.

Xi'er was busy in the kitchen. It was the hardest thing to make this big pot of rice. Fortunately, the pot at home was also big, so I got used to it, and it will get better with time.

Meng Yuan'er was squatting by the well to kill chickens. Even though she was a girl, she did it very neatly.

Meng Changdong came back from the outside and went straight to the backyard. Seeing Meng Yuaner plucking chickens, he went into the kitchen without asking any further questions.

Mrs. Zhang was lighting the fire casually, and saw him when she looked up, and was about to speak when Meng Changdong said first, "Xi'er, don't leave the backyard today."

Meng Xi'er had just put onion, ginger, garlic and other seasonings on the desk, when she heard her elder brother's voice, she turned her head in surprise and asked, "What's the matter? Brother."

"Well, Li Daniu is also here to help today. Dad and I have thought about it. You should stay in the backyard so that he doesn't gossip." In fact, it's not just that Meng Xi'er doesn't like Li Daniu very much. Li Daniu didn't like it at all.

After all, Xi'er is also an unmarried girl with a yellow flower, but he is good, and he yells in the village all day long that he wants to marry Xi'er.

When Meng Xier heard this, she was so angry that she couldn't speak for a long time, and asked a little unhappy, "Brother, why did you call him here?"

"It's not our name. We just met. After Dad said something, he insisted on coming to help. Oh, I can't persuade you!" Meng Changdong's expression was also very embarrassed.

Seeing his expression, Xi'er could only curl her lips, and then said, "Okay, I understand."

Seeing what Xi'er said, Meng Changdong turned around and left without leaving a word of instructions to Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang was also very angry, and waited for a long time, wanting to interject, but he didn't even give him a chance.

"Xi'er, what's wrong with Li Daniu?" Seeing Meng Changdong leaving, Mrs. Zhang's gossip came alive again.

When Xi'er mentioned this Li Daniu, she really didn't know what to say, she had only met him a few times, but she had heard those rumors more or less, so she was helpless.

Seeing that Xi'er didn't answer, Mrs. Zhang didn't feel embarrassed, and continued, "Let me tell you, Li Daniu is actually quite good. Look at their family's conditions are not bad, and it's considered good in Baimiao Village." It's gone."

"Well, I see, sister-in-law, you can light the fire with peace of mind." Xi'er was angry, and the chopping board made a thumping sound.

But Mrs. Zhang continued as if she couldn't hear her, "Xi'er, it's not that the sister-in-law is talking about you. With the conditions of our Meng family, you probably won't be able to marry any wealthy family. Li Daniu is very good, so don't you." Pick and choose."

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" Xi'er's strength in this hand increased a little bit, and it felt like the wooden cutting board was about to be splashed with sawdust.

Mrs. Zhang rambled on for a long time, but she didn't hear a reply from Xi'er, and felt bored, so she curled her lips and stopped talking.

Xi'er looked at the amount of food ingredients at home, and had an idea in mind, ten dishes and one soup, three meat and seven vegetables, it seems that it is almost the same.

Meng Hai and Meng Changdong had a discussion last night, but no more than five or six people were invited.

Eggs are ready-made at home, and scrambled eggs with leeks are most suitable for men.

Xi'er's head was spinning fast, thinking about those recipes, the order of cooking, thinking about the balanced combination of nutrition, and was also busy in the kitchen.

Meng Yuan'er carried the cleaned chicken into the house, saw Mrs. Zhang actually buried potatoes in the fire, ready to roast and eat, she couldn't help complaining, "Sister-in-law, look how busy Xi'er is, you It doesn't help at all."

These words are a bit unfair to Mrs. Zhang. It was Xi'er who resolutely refused to let her go to the desk. "It was Xi'er who refused to let me help. Don't talk nonsense."
Xi'er heard Meng Yuan'er's voice, so she turned around, nodded, took the chicken from her hand, and smiled, "I didn't ask sister-in-law to help, she doesn't know what I do, or I'll do it myself."

Hearing Xi'er said that she couldn't do it, Mrs. Zhang snorted disdainfully, and continued to concentrate on baking potatoes.

Meng Yuaner secretly pursed her lips into a smile, then nodded. "Oh, sister-in-law won't just work hard for you, what should I do?"

"It's nothing. In this case, you go to Brother Xu. You two go to the orchard to pick a basket of fruit and come back." Xi'er thought for a while. date, but better to do it early.

Meng Yuan'er blushed, nodded shyly, and then said, "Xi'er, then, then I'll go."
"Well, let's go." How could Xi'er not know what she was thinking, so she watched Meng Yuan'er leave, and said to Zhang, "Sister-in-law, add fuel to the flames."

Meng Yuan'er happily tore her clothes, she looked tidier, just walked to the yard, when she heard Liu shouting, "Yuan'er, what are you doing?"
