The happy life of peasant woman Wan Xiaoliu

Chapter 4
After washing the clothes, I found a hoe to clean up all the morning sun in the yard.

"It can't be done, it's so hot." Wan Xiaoliu couldn't stand the sun, and after doing so many things, his body didn't feel tired.The original owner of this body is really a good hardworking girl.

Wan Xiaoliu walked through the bamboo grove and saw that there was smoke from the houses at the east end of the village, and it was time to cook lunch.

Eat green vegetables in the morning.Let’s eat beans at noon. A few beans in the yard have produced a lot. One person can eat a handful, and a small handful is enough. After picking lentils and soup leaves, I sit in the hall, kitchen, and dining room, tearing off the lentils Break the old path next to it into two centimeters long, wash it next to the well, start cooking the pot, add water to the pot, wash the rice twice with cold water, and heat the water in the pot, soak the rice in hot water, Continue to boil the remaining hot water and fill the kettle with boiling water.Pour some oil into the pot, the smell is good, this is really pure and pollution-free green food, heat the oil for 9 minutes, put in the lentils and stir fry, fry the lentils until 9 minutes are cooked, add salt, Fry a few times, pour some water around, cover the pot, and let it suffocate for a while.

Boil for about 2 minutes, start the pot.There is still some oil and water in the pot, add water, boil, put in the washed soup leaves, unfortunately there is no egg, otherwise add an egg, it will be delicious, the soup leaves are very tender and green, just boil them in boiling water, Just add some salt and you're good to go.The soup pot is fairly clean, then add water, the water boils until small bubbles appear around it, scoop in the rice, mix it with a spatula, use a non-stick pot, check that the water is almost over the rice, slap the rice, cover it, Add a small fire and burn slowly.When the water is boiled dry, the aroma of the rice will come out. There is some burnt fire in the stove, so there is no need to add firewood. Let it burn slowly until it is stuffy enough to have rice. The thicker it is, the more stuffy it will be.

A bowl of rice, a soup, and a dish are all vegetarian, but they have a sense of accomplishment. This is the first real meal Wan Xiaoliu has cooked since he was born.Tears flowed while eating. In that world, every meal is a family meal, so lively.Now it's just me alone.Anyway, I have disappeared, and I am also dead in that world. The dead can be reborn, and they should be grateful.I feel better again.After eating, put the leftover rice in the pot into a bowl, and dry the rice crust in the pot. This rice crust is super delicious, and it’s made of rice and water. Keep it when you’re hungry. eat.

After rinsing the bowl, Wan Xiaoliu rested, thinking that it was time to dig the sweet potato field in the afternoon, the sweet potato seedlings in the garden were already growing.Fill the tank with water, pick up the hoe and close the door, then walk towards the back hill.

Wan Xiaoliu's family is on the side of the mountain, and all the land is backed by the mountain, and many of them were reclaimed by Wan Xiaoliu himself.In the ground are the wheat roots left by the harvested wheat, dig them out one by one, shake the sand of the wheat roots, the waist can't bear it, so I just dig up all the wheat roots first, and then squat down on the ground. Knock the sand off with a hoe.Maigen can be dried to make firewood.Two pieces of land were dug until the sun went down, and finally settled.The former Wan Xiaoliu was a hardworking master with calluses on his hands, and he was no longer afraid of the sun or the sharpening of a hoe.After digging the ground, level it, and dig a hole at intervals, and put fertilizer in it.After the land is finished, move the wheat root to the open space next to it to dry in the sun, and then move it back when it is almost dry.

It's all done, and I started walking back.In the afterglow of the setting sun, the foot-long rice fields are green.Surrounded by mountains, Wanjia Village is surrounded by mountains and protected.Generations of people in Wanjia Village have lived a stable life here, working at sunrise and resting at sunset.Although Wan Xiaoliu's soul is an outsider, this body has lived here for 18 years, and it also belongs to this place, and has a deep attachment to it.

When I got home, I went to the well, fetched water, washed my hands and feet, patted the ashes on my body, collected the clothes and quilts, found out the needle and thread, and nailed up the quilt now that it was still bright. The zipper is fine. There is no zipper in this period, so you need to put the quilt between the quilt lining and the face.Wan Xiaoliu thought, nailing the quilt was wasting time, and it was time to improve it.

Dinner is left over from noon.The rice crust at noon is already dry, put it in a bucket, wash the pot, pour the leftovers into the pot, pour some water around it, put the leftovers in the pot, and cover it.Ignite the fire, cook on a low fire and cook slowly. You must watch the cooking, and pay attention to the temperature of the fire and the condition of the rice at all times, as it is easy to burn.

It was getting dark again, Huozhezi lit up the lights, and I have gotten used to this dark winter in the past few days.Serve up the rice, wash the pot, boil water for a bath, when the meal is finished, the water for the bath is also heated up, and the tub for washing clothes is also used for bathing. After working all afternoon, my body is sticky with sweat, and I have not taken a bath. If there is no soap, wash with water.

Tired from working during the day, Wan Xiaoliu fell into bed and fell asleep.

In the early morning, the crisp birdsong gave Wan Xiaoliu motivation again.A new day, a new beginning!
The best way of the day is in the morning!get up.

Repeat what you did yesterday—laundry, cleaning, cooking breakfast.Today I am going to visit the fields, and followed Wan Xiaoliu's memory to the edge of the fields.The rice fields of more than ten square meters are pitifully small. The grass in the fields has been pulled out a few days ago, and today I just came to see the land.

"Xiao Liu, I heard that you fell from the mountain. I show you the water in the field every day." Wan Laichang, who was stepping on grass in the field next to him, raised his head and said.

"Thank you, Uncle Chang."

"You kid, although it's nothing serious, you still have to pay attention."

"Enn." Wan Xiaoliu nodded and said, "Uncle Chang, then I'll go back first, thank you Uncle Chang."

"You child, you are always so polite. You are from the village. My field is here, and I will show you by the way."

"hey-hey."

Wan Xiaoliu returned home, thinking about what to do today?You can't just sit at home in such a fine weather.Why don't you chop wood.

Wan Xiaoliu couldn't find the hatchet anywhere. Thinking about it, it seemed that he threw it on the mountain the day he fell.The knife must be found, it should not be under the mountain where it fell, but go up the mountain to find it.After drinking a glass of water, I closed the door and went to the mountain.

The lush forest has already formed a road, and this road is basically walked by Wan Xiaoliu. As long as there is nothing to do, he will go up the mountain to cut firewood or gather herbs to sell.The thatch and tree branches on both sides of the road were cut down by Wan Xiaoliu, and some places were trimmed.It is better to go.I was exhausted and out of breath when I was less than halfway up the mountain. Different souls can't go up the mountain...

Sitting down to rest, I heard someone talking on the other side of the mountain, it seemed to be Xiaojiu's voice.

"Xiao Jiu." Wan Xiaoliu listened carefully while holding his breath, and it was indeed Xiao Jiu, his aunt and the people from the village who were on the mountain.

"Sixth sister, it's me, where are you?"

"I went up the mountain and lost the knife that day, so I looked for it."

"Oh, you go, mother said that we will go back later. Tell you to be careful."

"Oh, ok. I'm going up the mountain."
