Reborn 1980: Scientific research leader farms to serve the motherland

Chapter 549 Preparing

A meal of pure pancakes stewed in an iron pot brings the taste of home to An Ning's stomach.

After the meal, the family sat behind the house to enjoy the cool air. An Guoming went to the well to fish for watermelons. He didn't fish it out the first time, and he still didn't fish it out the second time.

"Second brother, don't go to all this trouble. What did you say you were going to do?"

An Guoqing patted the dirt on his butt, walked to the edge of the well, swung the rope skillfully, and loaded the watermelon in the well with one movement.

The next second, he started to pull up. An Guoming looked on and said, "Big brother is still the best. Come on, come on."

An Guoping came over and whispered in An Ning's ear: "Why do I feel that the second brother did it on purpose?"

"You feel right."

An Ning answered with a smile.

An Guoming's body is indeed average, but after so many years, he insists on exercising.

He also insists on eating the medicinal food made by Master Tang, and An Ning secretly prepares it for him from time to time, so An Guoming is really not as weak as before.

An Guoqing fished out the watermelon, and his sister-in-law was already ready to step forward with a kitchen knife.

There was a click, and the moment the tip of the knife touched the watermelon, the watermelon split open.

The green and slightly black watermelon rind is cracked, and the red flesh dotted with dark seeds are exposed. Everyone knows that this is the love melon of dreams.

The skin is thin, the seeds are black, and they look sandy at first sight.

At this time, Hei Dan'er was very discerning and stepped forward. He cut the watermelon piece by piece and gave it to his grandparents, then to his second uncle, sister-in-law and uncle, his parents, and finally the three brothers.

When there are more people, the watermelon tastes less.

"Go ahead and eat. There's another one in the well. It's all grown in our melon patch."

"good to eat."

"Mom, I have never tasted such sweet watermelon in Beijing."

Both An Ning and An Guoping gave high praise. The whole family was blushing after eating, but no one cared.

After eating two watermelons, throw the watermelon rinds to feed the pigs. In the village, nothing can be wasted.

Next, everyone discussed what to do tomorrow, as the official wedding day was three days away.

"Tomorrow we will kill the pig first. We have to dress up the house. We have cleaned up the hygiene and other things. I will leave it to you to post happy words and other things tomorrow."

An Sancheng made the arrangements, and An Ning and An Guoping readily agreed.

There are three banquets for a wedding in the village. The day before the wedding, everyone is invited to a meal. The meal does not have to be particularly good. In short, it depends on the financial level of the family.

The wedding is the main meal on the second day, usually sixteen, eighteen or twenty courses.

The wedding is usually completed in the morning. In the afternoon, there will be a meal. This meal is to invite those who helped with the work to thank them.

In other words, tomorrow is the last relatively quiet day for Anjia, and the banquet will begin the day after tomorrow.

The wedding of An Guoming and Yin Xuemei was held in the village. The village masters were asked to make the banquet. All the tables, chairs and benches were borrowed. Most of the ingredients were produced by Anjia themselves, so the taste was guaranteed.

We enjoyed the cool air behind the room and chatted. The family sat outside until the sunset filled the sky.

"Tomorrow will be a nice day. The weather has been good these two days."

Seeing good scenery makes people feel better.

When it got dark, An Sancheng burned a fire in the yard and put some wormwood leaves in the yard to ward off mosquitoes.

It wasn't until around 08:30, when it was completely dark, that everyone returned to the room, washed up, and prepared to go to bed.

The kang in An Ning's room is not very hot, but it is not cold either.

The weather in the village is not very hot in June, especially at night. As long as the front and rear windows are opened, the small breeze blows on the body and is cool.

Especially in the second half of the night, you must cover yourself with a thin blanket or quilt.

Even if you don't cover your whole body, you must cover your belly. This is the final bottom line.

The comfortable temperature and familiar environment allowed An Ning to have an excellent sleep.

In the morning, she woke up to the crow of a big rooster.

When An Ning came out of the room, Hei Daner looked at his wrist and then at An Ning. Hei Dan'er shook his head and walked in the yard with his hands behind his back.

An Ning was amused by Hei Dan'er and asked An Guoping, who was brushing his teeth next to him, "Does he dislike me for getting up late?"

"ummmmm"

"But he doesn't have a watch either!"

An Ning's words successfully made Hei Dan'er, who was halfway into the yard, embarrassed for a moment.

In the morning, the yard was very busy, with people brushing teeth, washing faces, sweeping the yard, and drying clothes.

Chickens and dogs are jumping around in the yard, wolves are chasing dogs and dogs are being scratched, and the shouts of tofu sellers can be heard at the door. This is a unique morning in the village.

An Ning also joined in the fun and pumped out the water. The cold well water made her instantly refreshed.

For breakfast, I had sorghum rice, steamed potatoes and eggplants, and mixed them with chili and egg stew, which was very fragrant.

Coupled with green onion tofu and green pepper meat sauce, you can eat peacefully without even raising your head.

After breakfast, An Sancheng and An Guoqing were going to catch and kill pigs.

A total of two pigs were killed to provide some meat for tomorrow's banquet, but these were not enough. An Guoming also ordered elbows, pig trotters, pig guts, etc. at the pig killing farm.

After An Sancheng left, Uncle An's sister-in-law, nieces and nephews also came over.

Everyone was cutting window grilles and making latte art in the house. The red color made it look festive.

Work is faster when there are more people. Within two hours, every door and window in Anjia's house had happy words posted on it.

The uncle's hands are particularly skillful. She can cut out little figures wearing ancient wedding clothes, and she can also cut out happy words such as happy marriage, happy marriage for a hundred years and so on.

Large and small, hang them on the wall and stick them on the door.

At noon, the pig butcher came back, and Heidaner was the first to run into the yard, shouting that he wanted to eat meat!

Lin Cuihua came out of the room and looked at Heidan'er speechlessly.

"You stinky brat, when did our family ever lack meat? Why are you so happy like this!"

"Milk, that's different. Our pigs are particularly delicious."

Hei Dan'er's words reminded Lin Cuihua of the taste of her own pork, and it was rare that Hei Dan'er affirmed: "You are right!"

Hei Dan'er definitely couldn't help but praise him, he was jumping up and down like a monkey.

After a while, An Guoqing, who was behind, drove a tricycle into the yard. The carriage was covered with a large plastic sheet, and on the plastic sheet was half a pig fan.

The pork is quivering, alternately fat and thin, and looks delicious.

"Jiang Xia, you all come over for dinner tonight. It's been a busy day today."

"Hey, okay, I'm just hungry for this bite of meat."

Jiang Xia, who helped kill the pigs in the morning, agreed without any hesitation and didn't show any concern.

Jiang Xia went back to change clothes first. Before leaving, his eyes fell on An Ning involuntarily, but this time he and An Ning looked at each other.

For a moment, Jiang Xia's neck turned a little red, and she looked away uncomfortably, pretending that nothing happened.

When An Ning saw the blushing Jiang Xia, she had only one thought in her mind: She was so innocent that she couldn't bear to do anything.
