I used to talk about drying flowers to make soap, but now that I have beeswax, nothing happens.

Now that there were no flowers, she simply thought of moxa leaves again.

The lard in the pot was almost cooked, and the oil residue was also browned and looked attractive. She called Li Yunshan, took out the oil residue, and sprinkled some salt and pepper powder on it.

Li Yunshan wasn't too greedy after just finishing the meat. He took a few bites and went out to work.

Mao Xiaosui poured the oil into the jar to settle the residue, and then poured it into the bowl before the oil solidified.

Put the cut and soaked mugwort leaves in the bowl, pour the oil in and soak them, then use a bowl to cover them and place them on a wooden rack to solidify.

It was raining and getting dark quickly. To prevent the frying pan from attracting bugs, she decided to cook dinner together.

I went into the side room and got three eggs and half a bowl of rice.

Fry the eggs in the oil pan, add water to the pan next to it, pour the white rice in and cook.

When the water is boiling, take out the rice, pour half a pot of mushrooms into the pan with fried eggs, and fry until soft. Spread the rice on top, pour the cooked rice soup to the edge of the pot, and simmer with the residual fire in the stove.

The fried eggs were cut into small pieces and set aside. She went to the backyard to pick up some green onions and some green vegetables and came back, washed them and cut them up for later use.

The oil residue was still hot, so she sat on the threshold with a basin and ate it with chopsticks. She also asked Li Yunshan, who was chopping firewood with an axe, "Would you like some more? It's so crispy."

Li Yunshan came over with an ax in hand, opened his mouth and waited for her to feed him.

Mao Xiaosui fed him a mouthful and said jokingly, "Have a rest, your clothes are all wet, and you will have to break a hole in the yard."

Li Yunshan smiled and said nothing, and went back to work with his axe.

She didn't care, just sat on the threshold picking up the dregs and eating them bit by bit.

Mushroom stewed rice was cooked very quickly. She heard the sizzling sound in the pot and smelled a little burnt aroma, then she stood up and said to Li Yunshan, "It's time to eat."

Li Yunshan washed his hands in the basin placed under the eaves and made himself a bowl of honey water to drink.

Mao Xiaosui put the eggs, green onions and green vegetables in and stir-fried them for a few times to mix the rice and vegetables, and then filled a large bowl for him.

The chickens in the backyard were not fed. After serving the meal, she went to feed them and picked two handfuls of green onions when she came back to eat.

After dinner, it was getting dark. Li Yunshan carried the chopped firewood to the steps on the side of the hall and set it up. Mao Xiaosui washed the pot. When he went out to pour water, he heard someone shouting from below. She didn't pay much attention. carefulness.

A lot of firewood was chopped, enough to last several days.

Li Yunshan stood in the yard with a bucket of water, apparently intending to rinse it directly. Mao Xiaosui blocked the door, returned to the kitchen, wiped the basin and put it away. He looked at the lard and found that it was still not solidified.

I didn't care, I brought myself a basin of water and went into the side room to wash myself.

She had just picked up the towel and was about to take off her clothes when she heard a splashing sound outside.

Li Yunshan even rinsed his hair with water and walked in dripping with water.

Her face turned darker, and she turned her back to him and asked angrily, "Why did you take off your clothes?"

"How can I wash it without taking off my clothes?" Li Yunshan looked puzzled. "No one goes to the mountain. You blocked the door and no one saw it..."

Mao Xiaosui rolled his eyes secretly and cursed in his mind: shameless.

Li Yunshan took out his white undershirt, put it on, went outside, brought in the dirty clothes, and brought in a bucket of water.

Mao Xiaosui also washed his hair. While drying his hair, he washed the dirty clothes and put them on the table and chairs to dry.

_

It drizzled all night and it was still damp when we woke up the next day.

As soon as Mao Xiaosui went out, he ran to the hut, and Li Yunshan followed slowly out.

There was a quarrel in the village early in the morning. Li Yunshan stood by the wall to watch the excitement. When she came out, she heard him say "Wang Huacheng's family" before she asked.

"Go ahead and make a noise." She hummed and entered the courtyard.

I broke off a green branch and put it in my mouth to clean my teeth. I poured some water into the basin and was washing my face when I heard a loud "I'm not alive anymore..."

In the morning, porridge was cooked as usual, and Li Yunshan was cleaning the backyard.

She took a shovel and went to the backyard to start spreading fertilizer and plowing the vegetable patch.

Li Yunshan lit the millet stalk to smoke out the insects, took the shovel and turned over it while he was free.

She went to plant cabbage and came back. She smoothed the area where Li Yunshan had turned over and spread the seeds. Finally, she spread a layer of soil to cover it.

The two of them finished the large vegetable patch in a short time. Mao Xiaosui washed his hands and served the rice. Halfway through the meal, Mao Mingzhu started calling her.

She ran out with the bowl in hand and shouted to Mao Mingzhu who was standing at the door of her house below, "What's wrong, aunt?"

"Are you going to pick up soft-skinned vegetables? You haven't finished your meal yet?"

"Not yet. Where are you going? I'll come find you in a minute."

"Across the river, you can come down and see."

"Okay." She said hurriedly, "Then you go first, I'll come back when I'm done."

When she entered the yard, she heard Mao Mingzhu calling someone else again. She ate much faster and asked Li Yunshan, "Are you still chopping firewood soon?"

"I have been chopping firewood these past few days, and after finishing cleaning, I have to dry the grain."

"Then I'm going to hunt chicken grass and pick soft-skinned vegetables."

"If you take a look at the wheat, it will be fine if the stalks and ears are yellow. If there are not many green ones, you can still pull them out."

After saying that, he reminded her, "You don't have to go to our fields. There are seeds in the fields above the river. They're all pretty much the same."

"Okay." She drank some porridge in the bowl and scooped out a ladle of water to wash the pot.

When I was going downhill after picking up my things, I bumped into the Lu family at a fork in the road.

They were in their thirties. They had been together when we were hunting chicken grass and going to the market before, so we knew each other, so she smiled and asked, "Would you like to pick up soft-skinned vegetables?"

"I'm not going." The man laughed, "I'm going back to my parents' house."

Mao Xiaosui said nothing more, said hello and left.

She first went to look at the wheat in the field, and at a glance she saw some that were half yellow and green. This kind would take a few days to pull out.

The villagers were in the wasteland opposite, and she also walked over. She heard them laughing before they entered the field. Mao Xiaosui knew at a glance that these women were gossiping again.

Just as he was about to move closer, Zhang Zhi saw her with sharp eyes and asked with a smile, "I just saw you going to the fields."

"I went to see Maizi."

"You can see it from here, so you don't need to run over."

Mao Xiaosui raised his eyes and found that this was really what happened. He was a little dumbfounded, "I just didn't think of it."

Mao Mingzhu also said, “There are many wheat farmers in this village.”

Lu Feng heard the words and counted them in detail, "Xiao Sui's family, Li Yunqiang's family, Wang Huacheng's family, and there seems to be the Lin family."

Hearing this, Su Qiu, the third daughter-in-law of Fifth Master Li Maoyin, sighed and began to complain, "It's good for this family to have less people and more land. Unlike our family, let alone growing wheat, we can barely grow enough to eat, and we can't save food all year round."

Hearing what she said, Lu Feng couldn't help but start to sigh, "Your Li Xing has finally married his mother-in-law. My Qi Hong is already old, and Qi Zhi is not even two years old. I haven't saved enough money for Qi Hong to marry his mother-in-law." Well, his father and I were so worried that we couldn't sleep all night long..."

Mao Xiaosui originally wanted to listen to gossip, but now he heard them complain one by one and ran away in a hurry.
