Chapter 53 Dragon Boat Festival

The Dragon Boat Festival is the busy season for farming, and there is no delay in harvesting the wheat. If God does not give us food, there will be heavy rain, so let’s wait for the wheat to germinate.

Although it is very busy, everyone will make some delicious celebrations. In the morning, cook some eggs and duck eggs. The fermented glutinous rice made in advance will be opened on this day, and then everyone will eat some fermented glutinous glutinous rice and drink some fermented glutinous rice soup. Some people will offer some rice dumplings , Those who are too busy will not be covered.

Rice in the north is much more expensive than wheat, and glutinous rice is more expensive than rice. Families with poor conditions are simply reluctant to eat the luxury of zongzi.

Su Zi couldn't help but sigh in her heart, she always knew that life could still be like this, and even zongzi became a luxury.

It was also the first time she knew that fermented glutinous rice can be made not only with rice, but also with dried wheat and sweet potatoes. There is still a big gap between what the original owner remembered and what he saw in reality. It will be even more shocking when you experience it personally. The wisdom of the ancients It is also not to be underestimated.

Conditions can be created without conditions. Wheat fermented glutinous rice is boiled after removing the skin on the surface of the wheat, soaking in water for a period of time, and then putting it in a cloth bag and beating it with sticks or pounding it in a stone mortar.

The Su family has a lot of labor, and most of them are young and middle-aged, so women go to the fields when harvesting wheat, and basically do housework at home at other times, so Su Zi has time to make zongzi.

The reed leaves I found were too small, so the rice dumplings in her house were very small, with jujube, bacon, or egg yolk on the bread, Li Qingshan could eat one at a time, and joked with Su Zi with a smile, saying that it was still Very convenient.

Su Zi likes to eat egg yolks and jujubes. The egg yolks are picked out from the salted duck eggs she pickled after cooking, with a little bit of egg white, and the rest of the egg whites are given to Li Qingshan and the others to eat steamed buns.The egg yolks are oily, salty and delicious, Zhao Wan'er also likes it.

During the busy farming season, the private school will take half a month's vacation, and the husband will go home to harvest wheat, so Zhao Zhiyuan also came back at this time. A period of time in the private school has made this half-grown boy more calm and sensible.

He also didn't want to be idle when harvesting wheat, and kept following the busy ones. After integrating into this family, he was more relaxed.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, rumors spread quietly in the village, saying that someone saw Li Qing and Li Feng having a private meeting in the wheat field, and they hugged each other at night when no one was around, it was an insult to the gentleman!
When harvesting wheat, each family will level an open space on the nearest field, and use a stone roller to grind porcelain to make it flat. People use animals, and those who don't have animals can only pull them by hand. This is a heavy and dirty job.

There are also those who rent other people’s livestock, but they basically have to wait in line. Everyone is anxious, for fear that the field will be drenched in the rain before it can be threshed.

This year the Su family is doing well, with Su Zi and his family's cows saving a lot of energy whether it is pulling the mill or the wheat, Su's mother finally has no worries in the past, and is happy all day long.

After all, there are all the harvests of my own family on the field, and there are usually one or two people left to watch everything. We can’t let the field lack people. In the evening, when the parents go home for dinner, let the children watch it for a while. It is said that the family of girls like Li Feng He wouldn't let her stay on the court alone.

But for some reason, such rumors spread out, and they spread so well that everyone in the village knew about it in less than two days, and there was a tendency to spread them to other villages.

Everyone is really busy and don't forget to gossip!This spirit is also very commendable.

In the beginning, everyone spread the rumors, but they didn't pay much attention to it. They thought it was because they stood together and said a few words. They stood relatively close to make people misunderstand. But a few days later, the family who was married to Li Feng came to the town. When we arrived at Lijia Village, everyone realized that the situation was serious.

Li Feng feels inexplicable recently. She is really unlucky. Before the plan was implemented, someone discovered and spread gossip. As a result, she couldn't go out for two days. Her parents were busy and didn't want her to go out again. .

Seeing that the time is getting older and shorter, she was so anxious that she almost got angry. Originally, she wanted to let Li Qing see her goodness, and then offered to marry her. She even planned how to seduce her Yes, men like playing hard to get, the feeling of being on the loose, she is developing in this direction.

These were taught by my aunt to curry favor with the businessman's son, hmph, I don't even look at who I am, but I still want her to curry favor!Li Feng was totally unwilling, but he humbly asked his aunt for advice for his own plan.

At that time, Li Feng's aunt Li Yun thought she had figured it out, and happily passed on all her experience to her. Li Yun married to the town to be a successor, and it was also a way out that she planned for herself at that time. You can save yourself from suffering for the rest of your life.

Li Feng was very similar to her in appearance and temperament, so she often took this niece to take care of her when she had no children. Therefore, Li Feng's relationship with her aunt was better than her relationship with her mother.

A girl who grew up in the village married a well-informed businessman who traveled all over the world, and she was able to win over his heart. It can be seen that Li Yun's methods are also very good. They were all taught to Li Feng, but Li Feng did not expect that he wanted to seduce Li Qing.

If Li Yun found out about this, she would probably be pissed to death. Li Yun has become a concubine, but she is unwilling to be a concubine, let alone seduce a married man.

When the rumor came out, it was only popular in the village. Li Yun didn't know about it. She didn't know until Jia Chang brought his son in a panic and came to tell her. At that time, she just thought it was ridiculous. How could her Li Yun's niece Do such a thing?That girl is so similar to me, she is most unwilling to wrong herself to be a concubine.

But what Jia Chang said has a nose and an eye, she couldn't help but pay attention to it, but she still didn't understand the situation after all, she was in the town, so she wanted to go back to her mother's house to confirm and see what happened, but Jia Chang also wanted to Let's go together, saying that this is his son's lifelong event. Although his Jia family is a merchant, it is also a well-behaved family.

The implication is that unruly people cannot enter his Jia's house, which means that Li Feng is the one who is unruly and not worthy of entering their Jia's house. Li Yun was very annoyed by this sentence, but he has been in the town for so long , she is no longer the impulsive little girl she was back then, suppressing her anger and laughing to appease Jia Chang and his son.

However, he was furious in his heart, if it is confirmed that the matter has nothing to do with Feng'er, let's see how she makes Jia's father and son bleed!No matter what, this marriage is probably considered dirty, and she doesn't care how to offend Jia's father and son.

Then the three of them drove the carriage to Lijia Village, and went straight to Li Feng's house. The villagers gathered around to see such a magnificent carriage. This carriage was different from Su Zi's ox cart, and it was much more beautiful. Although Su Zi's carriage is convenient and comfortable, it looks a bit ugly to be honest!

When everyone saw Li Yun, they knew it was the girl who married into the town and returned to her natal family. Everyone greeted Li Yun one after another, and they were very polite to Li Yun. Li Yun also greeted the villagers with a smile, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

And the other two strange men, one in his 40s, dressed in brocade clothes, looked elegant and amiable, and the other in his eighteenth or nineteen years old, also dressed in breathable and cool silk and satin clothes, with a handsome figure and handsome appearance. She is smiling, but the smile doesn't reach her eyes, her eyes are full of wisdom, this is Li Feng's fiancé, Jia Linfeng.

To be honest, Li Feng is not good enough for Jia Linfeng. Although he is a businessman, he is gentle and elegant, with the attitude of a Confucian businessman, which is beyond the reach of a superficial woman like Li Feng.

The main reason for agreeing to this marriage at the beginning was that Jia Chang owed Zhao Chengxiang a favor, and Li Yun wanted to marry his niece to Jia's family, so he blew pillows at Zhao Chengxiang. I don't know much about it, but I heard from my daughter-in-law that she is quite similar in appearance and temperament. Zhao Chengxiang felt that if he was like Li Yun, he would be worthy of Jia Linfeng, so he opened his mouth to be a matchmaker.

And Jia Chang thought that this was the favor that Zhao Chengxiang wanted to repay by himself. No matter where it is, the debt of favor is not so easy to owe. After weighing the pros and cons, Jia Chang found his son and talked about it. Jia Linfeng doesn't care who he marries. It was appropriate for the Jia family to return the Zhao family's favor, so they agreed, it doesn't matter if there is another woman in the family.
