In the afternoon, we went to the same wasteland as in the morning. Lu Xiaoxia kept deliberately approaching her on the way. Mao Xiaosui hid several times. Even Mao Mingzhu, who was absent-minded and didn't want to talk today, noticed her.

When Lu Xiaoxia came closer to her, Mao Mingzhu said, "Why do you keep going back and forth on such a wide road?"

The rest of the people also looked at her face, and Lu Xiaoxia's face dropped. After all, there was no quarrel.

When they arrived at the field, Lu Xiaoxia didn't come close to her anymore. Lu Feng asked her in a low voice, "Why is Xiaoxia so close to you today?"

She shook her head and said speculatively, "I'm afraid Yunshan needs help for something else."

She either hates Lu Xiaoxia, or she hates Li Yunqiang's virtue of using others and then throwing them away. Li Yunshan shouldn't be able to control her, but she doesn't want to give him a good look if she doesn't like it.

"I'm afraid it's about harvesting wheat. In previous years, Li Yunshan did most of the work. Li Yunqiang didn't dare to do that job alone."

Mao Xiaosui frowned, it made sense to hear this, otherwise why didn't she show her kindness in the past few days but she came today.

When she thought about it, she felt even more unhappy.

Lu Feng saw it in his eyes and warned her in a low voice, "After all, we are two brothers. Don't talk too much when the time comes, otherwise everyone will hate you."

She said nothing and nodded.

The drizzle stopped in the afternoon. Mao Xiaosui reached out and took off the bamboo hat on his head, casually put it on the basket, and carried the basket to the ditch next to the wasteland to pull grass seeds.

Most of the grass in July has gone to seed, and the poles are so long that an armful of them can be tied up quickly.

She put the bundled grass seeds away, took the basket and started beating young grass again. There were rustling footsteps behind her, and when she turned around, she saw Lu Xiaoxia coming down with the basket on her back.

"You've pulled it out." Lu Xiaoxia asked with a smile.

She responded, "The pole is high, pull it up quickly." After saying that, she picked up the basket and walked forward.

Lu Xiaoxia followed and heard her say, "The wheat is about to turn yellow. It's been sunny for two days and it's time to go to the fields."

She said "hmm".

Lu Xiaoxia glanced at her face and said with a smile, "Our two families can finish it in five or six days, which is pretty quick..."

Mao Xiaosui said nothing, threw the young grass into the basket, pressed it, and walked forward for a while.

As soon as she squatted down, she heard the rustling footsteps behind her again. Lu Xiaoxia squatted next to her this time and asked, "Is your family going to dry food this year?"

"Going to dry."

"It has to be dried. It will be dried after the wheat is finished."

She said "hmm".

After trying a few words, probably because she didn't want to talk, Lu Xiaoxia stopped asking and quietly pulled weeds.

Chicken grass beat up quickly. She filled the basket, stood up and said, "I'll go up first."

Lu Xiaoxia responded coldly, and she didn't care. She climbed up with difficulty, carrying the basket on her back and holding the grass seeds in one hand.

Mao Mingzhu stretched her neck and glanced down. After confirming that Lu Xiaoxia had not come up, she asked her, "What did I tell you?"

She looked at Lu Feng next to her and smiled sarcastically, "Auntie was really right."

Lu Feng shook her head, "I used to think that your grandma was partial, but now it seems that Li Yunqiang is also very mean-spirited."

"What Auntie said is wrong. In the past, the old lady was there for everything. Now the old lady is no longer useful. He must not jump out."

Lu Feng still shook his head, "It's better to separate. Your Aunt Zhang's family and I don't have so many twists and turns."

She sneered, "There is no comparison. You are good to Aunt Zhang's family, and Aunt Zhang's family is good to you. This relationship can only be maintained. If Aunt Zhang's family is the one who just wants to take advantage, how can this relationship be good?"

"That's true." Zhang Zhi also agreed, "I haven't seen Li Yunqiang bring anything to Li Yunshan in these years, but the old lady keeps taking Li Yunshan's things to Li Yunqiang's house."

She sneered in her heart and glanced at Lu Xiaoxia in the ditch.

After a while, the sun emerged from the clouds, and the surrounding fog began to dissipate.

The time was almost up and everyone walked back with greetings. When crossing the river, they washed the soft vegetables as usual.

Not far from the river, Li Xiaoru and Liu Xiaoxia were also picking soft-skinned vegetables.

There was a lot of movement when they came down, and the two of them were stunned and did not look back.

No one called them, and they left after washing the soft-skinned vegetables.

After some distance, Mao Xiaosui turned his head and glanced, and saw Li Xiaoru looking this way, and quickly turned back.

In the yard, Li Yunshan was sitting on a log drinking water. Mao Xiaosui put the basket at the door as usual and went to the backyard to throw some grass to the chickens.

After coming out, I went to a hut and entered the courtyard with a basket. Only then did I find that the steps on one side of the main room were piled with firewood, and there was also a lot of firewood piled on the side next to the courtyard door.

She was very surprised, "You did so much in the afternoon?"

Li Yunshan seemed to have just taken a rest, and was still panting. Hearing this, he said, "I'll finish the yard work early and still need to tidy it up."

"It's so bad."

She put the basket on the steps and went into the kitchen to take a look at the noodles that were served for lunch.

The dough was ready. She went to the backyard to cut a large handful of green onions and came back. She put the soft-skinned vegetables she had soaked at noon in the water and put them on the chopping board to cut. She also scooped out a spoonful of yesterday's oil residue and put them on the chopping board. Chop finely.

Put oil in the pot, add the soft-skinned vegetables and oil residue, and stir-fry. Add a small amount of pepper powder and salt. After taking it out of the pot, wash and cut the green onions, add them and stir evenly.

Pour water into another clean pot, light the fire, put the cage on it, and finally knead the bread buns.

The buns have thin skin and plenty of fillings, just enough to steam one steamed bun.

Since it was dinner, she planned to make soup. She glanced out and asked Li Yunshan, "What soup do you want to drink?"

"I'm going to the mountains to catch fish."

Mao Xiaosui originally wanted to ask him if he wanted to drink egg and vegetable soup, but when he heard what he said, he casually replied, "It's too far, troublesome."

"You steam the buns first." He stood up, took the bucket and went out immediately.

Seeing that he was so diligent, Mao Xiaosui didn't say anything. He poured the unfinished soft-skinned vegetables in the morning and those picked up in the afternoon together, moved the table out and put it on top and started picking them up.

Li Yunshan came back quickly and dug a few mushrooms along the way.

Mao Xiaosui stood up and gave him the stool, then went into the kitchen to kill the fish with a knife.

Li Yunshan was running all the way and was indeed tired. He sat on a stool and watched her kill the fish and throw away the entrails before he started chopping firewood again.

Before frying the fish, she fried an egg first. She took the fried egg out and threw two whole peppercorns into the pot to stir-fry until fragrant. Then she put the fish in and fried it. She used a spatula to flip the fish and fry it until both sides were brown and added the steamed buns. boiling water.

She took out the mushrooms in the bucket, washed them, tore them into pieces and threw them in to cook. She also washed and chopped the green onions she had just picked when throwing the giblets into the chicken. After the fish soup in the pot boiled to a milky white color, she added the fried eggs. Cut into small pieces and add salt and green onions to taste.

"It's time to eat." She shouted.

Li Yunshan responded, threw the ax away, washed the handle in the fish bucket, and sat at the table.

She put the steamed buns and steamed buns on the table, then went into the kitchen and brought out the fish soup.

I don't know whether it was because the noodles had been cooked for a long time or because there was too much roux in the noodles. It smelled a bit sour. Fortunately, Li Yunshan didn't say anything and continued to eat it with big mouthfuls.
