Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.
Chapter 67 Hard work 2 updates
After walking and stopping along the way, Xu Huaiyi returned home carrying sacks and baskets. He was so tired that he was sweating profusely and his legs felt like they were no longer his own.
This time, in order to appear to have done enough work, he did not cut corners at all, and actually carried seventy or eighty kilograms of things for more than an hour.
Gu Huan was delighted to see him and couldn't help scolding him, "Are you stupid? Your shoulders don't hurt anymore when you carry such a heavy thing? Do you want your legs? We don't have any shortages in our family. What you carried back was enough to eat, so why bother to suffer this again?" Sin?"
Xu Huaiyi lay down on the chair, poured a bowl of water, and after regaining his breath, he explained in a low voice, "If I didn't do this, how could I fool those villagers? They are not stupid. When we see us on the road, we will have no shortage of food." , I must be suspicious of where it came from, if I go through all this trouble, won’t I have a reasonable explanation?”
Gu Huanxi said angrily, "Then you won't put things in the car on the road."
Xu Huaiyi sighed depressedly, "Do you think I don't want to? I can't!"
"What do you mean?"
"Oh, your husband is so popular and rare. There are several people who cling to me and won't let go. They can't get rid of me. They can't get rid of me at all. I can't get out of their sight. How dare I put things in the car?"
Gu Huanxi stared at his proud and showy face, rolled her eyes speechlessly, threw the cloth to wipe his sweat on him, and urged, "Hurry up and take a bath, lie down and rest, I will do the rest of the work Just do it with the little fish."
Xu Huaiyi didn't hold on any longer. He went into the RV and cleaned up. He ate and drank to replenish his strength. Then he stepped out, hugged his daughter and lay on the kang to rest comfortably.
In the yard, Gu Xiaoyu was pounding the shell of walnuts with stones, breaking them open and peeling off the green skin, and spreading them out to dry in a sunny place. This work was not difficult, but troublesome.
Gu Huanxi joined in, and the speed increased. After the two women finished their work, it was time to prepare dinner. At this time, there were still people carrying things into and out of the mountains, one after another, seemingly tireless.
It wasn't until dark that Village Chief Xu forcibly stopped him. Things were important, but safety was more important. No matter how much food you eat, you have to be alive to enjoy it.
But even if we don’t go to the mountains, we still have no time to stay at home. The walnuts have to be shelled, and the persimmons are estimated to be too heavy for people at home to carry, so they go to the town to sell them. Every household has toiled for most of the night before resting, but they can’t sleep either. Feeling down-to-earth, I am thinking about going up to the mountain to pick something again tomorrow.
In the whole village, only the Xu family's old house remained silent. Even the Xu Youtian family temporarily put aside their differences and followed awkwardly into the mountains to take advantage of the situation, but Xu Maoshan did not let one of his sons go out.
It's not like Xu Huairen didn't think about it, "Dad, it's just our family that won't go. This way, it will seem like we are isolated."
This feeling is really terrible, and full of all kinds of uneasiness and confusion.
Xu Maoshan's face had been looking ugly all day, and he was holding an unknown fire in his heart. When his eldest son said this, it was kind of ignited, "Which of you can go, huh? You two, you can't lift your hands or shoulders, you are just shameless. Once you go up the mountain, can you carry it back?"
Xu Huairen's face turned red after being scolded, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. He couldn't do hard work, but wasn't that because he had been working as a bookkeeper outside these years? He didn't just sit around and eat for free, so why did you try so hard on him?
The real breadwinners in the family are clearly the second and fifth eldest children, but it just so happens that of these two, one is cunning and sweet-tongued and knows how to coax others, while the other pretends to be good at reading. The two elders were fooled and never saw their faults.
But no matter how uncomfortable he was, he didn't dare to be tough with his father, so he could only admit his mistake.
Xu Huaili suggested, "How about letting the fourth child go?"
Xu Huailian frowned and said solemnly, "I can go into the mountains, but I am going hunting. I can't mix with those people."
Doesn't he want to save face?
Xu Huaili heard this and said with a smile, "That's okay. If you can catch pheasants, rabbits, etc., wouldn't they taste better than those rotten persimmons and walnuts? I don't even think it's hard to treat those things as snacks, and those who have never seen the world. Those who just robbed them like treasures are all useless and deserve to be unable to make a fortune in this life..."
He was still smiling at first, and as he spoke, he started to curse. His expression was gloomy and ferocious. After being beaten twenty times, he began to resent everyone. He didn't like anyone, and his whole body was swollen. Out of anger, everyone in the family began to avoid him.
Xu Maoshan glanced at him and sighed heavily, how did their family get to this point?
It seems that it all started with the change of the third child...
Xu Huaiyi didn't know that his biological father was plotting against him again. After dinner, he went to bed early. He would have to fool around again tomorrow. How could he not recharge his batteries?
The next day, after getting enough sleep, he woke up and was full of energy again.
But others were just trying their best. They all carried it at least twice yesterday. Their shoulders and legs were sore and weak, and they almost couldn't get up in the morning.
Therefore, when we went into the mountains this time, there were more half-grown children and strong women. They couldn't carry heavy things, but they could still handle thirty or fifty pounds. Moreover, today, the women and children could help with the chestnut harvesting. Just pick it up, it's an effortless job.
Gu Xiaoyu said that he would follow and help, and Xu Huaiyi agreed.
Gu Huanxi didn't go, but she wasn't idle either. She made pot cakes at home for a day. The grain she bought earlier had been ground into powder by Xu Huaiyi. She mixed the noodles according to the proportion, pressed and kneaded them with a stick. , until the dough is smooth and hard, then roll it into a thick cake, put it on the oven and cook it little by little over low heat.
The pot cakes made in this way have low water content, are easy to carry, and can be stored for more than half a month without spoiling. They are suitable for dry food on long journeys and are particularly resistant to hunger.
Moreover, the taste is not bad either. The outside is brown and crispy, while the inside is white, dense and soft. The more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes. She also added butter and salt and pepper to make the taste richer and more layered. If you add a layer of meat sauce, it would be perfect. .
She was busy all day, even using the oven in the car, and only made ten pot cakes, but each one was as big as a basin, enough for their family to eat several meals.
During this period, Xu Huaiyi came back and carried a sack of chestnuts. This time he finally took the opportunity to be lazy, avoid those people, and put the things in the car. When he was about to go out, he quietly took them out.
After that, he carried pears again. This time with Gu Xiaoyu, he couldn't take any chances. He really tried his best and collapsed on the kang when he got home.
Gu Xiaoyu was also so tired that he couldn't hold anything with his arms.
Gu Huanxi had already prepared hot water, and after asking the two of them to wash up, they cooked dinner alone. They managed to prepare four dishes and one soup, and also made a few simple moon cakes. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, no matter how hard the life is. , and the sense of ritual is indispensable.
