Rebirth 1984 Wife and children are on the hot bed

The autumn wind blows, and yellow leaves fall from the trees in the distance.

The old loofahs hanging on the wooden shelves have all turned gray-brown. When the autumn wind blows, they make a rustling sound when they collide with the dry loofah leaves.

Autumn is the season when all things wither, and it is also the season of harvest.

Rong Chenglin returned home and quickly brought the plow over.

"The plow has been carried over, how should we plow it? Which plow should be done first?"

“Start plowing in the southeast corner.”

Rong Chenglin wanted to pull the plow in front, but Xu Dahai didn't agree. The couple were here for a visit, so they couldn't be allowed to do heavy work.

The plow is a partial plow.

It’s just that the sharp blade at the bottom is slanted.

There was a hemp rope tied in the middle of the plow shaft. Xu Dahai pulled the hemp rope, wrapped it around his arms, and pulled the plow forward.

Rong Chenglin held the handle of the plow to grasp the direction and depth of plowing.

rub rub rub~

The two old men worked together, the soil surged, and a large number of sweet potatoes were dug out. It was indeed much faster than using a four-tine planer to dig out bit by bit.

Not only did Wang Xiuxiu and her daughter pick up the items behind, but Rong Chenglin's wife also helped with the work.

Wang Xiuxiu asked her to take a rest, and Rong Chenglin's wife laughed and said: "I am born to be a hard worker. I just love to work. If I don't do the work, I feel uncomfortable all over. Hahaha..."

Wang Xiuxiu also laughed instantly.

Rong Chenglin curled his lips. He obviously did all the work at home, but he was afraid that his wife would be aggressive to him when he returned home later, so he remained silent in the end.

With the help of Rong Chenglin and his wife.

The sweet potatoes are harvested much faster.

At noon, I stewed the big catfish in the water vat. The fragrant catfish meat was stained with the smell of dried eggplant. It was very delicious!

Xu Dahai had been working for a long time, and now his appetite was greatly increased.

Put a piece of oily, fragrant catfish meat into a bowl, and add a little bit of soup to soak the rice and change its color.

Eat a big mouthful of catfish meat and a big mouthful of rice. The wonderful taste explodes on your taste buds. It's so refreshing!

"How do you like it? Is this catfish stewed with eggplant delicious?"

Mr. and Mrs. Rong Chenglin and several of his children were called over to eat. Everyone was devouring their food in a lively manner. The atmosphere was heightened and the food seemed to be more delicious.

"It's delicious, it's really delicious! If I have a chance, I'll catch a big catfish and stew it." Rong Chenglin had food in his mouth and his voice was not very clear.

His wife demolished him: "Come on, catfish are slippery and hard to catch! You should just stay at home honestly, it's safe and there's no danger!"

"If you don't go, I won't go. By the way, Xiaohai, where is your long-term worker? His name is Yang Weiguo, right?"

"He went back to Guanli to visit his parents and will be back in a while."

After eating and chatting for a while, Rong Chenglin's family left.

In the afternoon, I sent the sweet potatoes to the cellar. I was so tired that I was sweating. By the time I finished the work, it was almost dark.

Sweet potatoes are actually not very tasty when they are just dug out. After they have been left for a while, the water content is reduced and a large amount of starch slowly turns into sugar, they become very delicious.

Two more days passed.

Early in the morning, Xu Dahai carried a shotgun and took four hunting dogs for a walk in the mountains.

Xu Youcheng is still collecting pine nuts.

Entering the off-season, many hard-working villagers find it hard to stay idle and feel that earning less is better than being idle, so they drag their families into the mountains to collect pine nuts.

Usually, the old man climbs the tree to reach the pine cones, while the old woman and her children pick up the pine cones below, and finally grill the pine cones over the fire.

"There are so many people? Hey~ Is there a mountain grape tree here?"

Xu Dahai walked south along the mountain and soon found a mountain grape tree in the dense bushes.

Most of the leaves on the grapevine have dried up, and the grapevine climbs up crookedly along a walnut tree. Not only are there grapes in the lower places, but there are also bunches of mountain grapes growing more than three meters high.

"It's really good. I'll pick a few bunches and give them to Xiu Xiu and Xiao Tingzi to try."

Xu Dahai first picked a grape and put it in his mouth to chew. It was very sweet!delicious!

“When I was a kid, I used to run around in the mountains looking for mountain grapes to eat. Before the frost, they were sour, and they were so sour that their teeth were sore.

But after frost, the mountain grapes become sweeter, so delicious. "

Xu Dahai finished eating a bunch of them without knowing it, picked a dozen more bunches in succession, put them into the basket, and carried them down the mountain happily.

The biggest difference between wild grapes and artificially cultivated grapes is that the grape grains are much smaller, even smaller than peanuts.

Moreover, each bunch of grapes is sparse, and there are large gaps between the grapes.

On the way down the mountain, I met a sand-and-half chicken. Whoosh! Several hunting dogs rushed out and quickly caught the fat sand-and-half chicken.

"What a good dog! Haha~ Your chicken is so fat because it's ready for the winter, right? I'll stew you when I get home!"

Xu Dahai hummed a little tune and led the dogs down the mountain happily.

On the road, when I meet an old lady carrying a basket to pick up rice ears and corns, she will smile and say hello.

Many old ladies are too old to go into the mountains to reach the pine cones, but they are not idle. Instead, they go to the fields to glean rice ears, corns, peanuts, sweet potatoes, etc.

From dawn to dusk.

Add up.

A lot of food can be brought home before the snow falls.

After returning home and having breakfast, Wang Xiuxiu and her daughter washed the mountain grapes and ate them.

"It's so sweet! The mountain grapes are so delicious after the frost."

Wang Xiuxiu not only ate it herself, but also grabbed some grape berries and stuffed them into Xu Dahai's mouth.

"You should eat it too. Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious. I've eaten it in the mountains."

Xu Dahai sat on the edge of the kang, playing with the big fat cat that was snoring. He looked at his wife and daughter happily eating mountain grapes, and felt so beautiful and full of happiness in his heart.

Sudden.

A shout came from outside the yard. It turned out that the long-term worker Yang Weiguo was back.

Xu Dahai carried the big lazy cat lying on his lap to the side, opened the door and welcomed him out:

"Weiguo, why don't you stay at home for a few more days? Come in quickly."

Yang Weiguo, a tall man, entered the house carrying large and small bags of things.

"I stay at home for a long time, and my parents are annoying me. Besides, don't the roe deer here also need someone to take care of them? So I just came over."

Yang Weiguo brought a lot of golden jujubes produced in his hometown, as well as some dried sweet potatoes and dried apples, and a small wooden horse for Xiao Tingzi.

Made of peach wood.

It is said that it can ward off evil spirits.

It was also a kind intention, and Xiao Tingzi liked it very much, so she accepted it.

We had a stew together at noon, and then Yang Weiguo went back to live in the small house in the back yard.

1pm.

Xu Dahai originally planned to lie on the kang and have a good sleep, but Wang Xiuxiu, who had just finished washing the pot, walked in with a smile:

"Come on, let's go up the mountain to pick mountain grapes? Come back and make wine!"
