I live in Miao Village

Spring in Miao Village comes very quickly. After a few earth-shattering spring thunders, the drizzle like thousands of cow hairs comes as promised, falling on the fields, in front of and behind houses, on the shoulders of farmers, and on the hair of girls.

The grass stalks that have been silent for a winter shook their heads and drilled out of the ground. After the spring breeze blows, they grow layer by layer all over the mountains and plains.

Camellia, winter jasmine, rapeseed, honeysuckle, etc. are gradually blooming. Walking on the bluestone road in the mountains, the spring breeze blows, and the warmth carries the fragrance of various flowers, which makes people feel inexplicably wanting to make their hometown their hometown. .

When the spring breeze arrives, the busy farming begins. Plowing, plowing, tea picking, brewing, transplanting rice seedlings and other farm work are one after another, and the busyness is endless. The village and the surrounding fields are extremely lively, and there are busy people everywhere.

After Xue Yi had breakfast, he drove the ducks and geese into the river in front of the door, planning to follow A Yaoduo to do some farm work on the opposite side of the mountain later.

Seeing Brother Cheng Wenjin and Ah Ying playing under the pier, he asked them what they were doing.

"Teacher, we are catching fish."

"How many have you caught?"

"I caught seven or eight, teacher, look." Ah Ying excitedly caught a four-finger-wide grass carp from the bamboo basket and showed it to Xue Yi.

"What a big fish, you guys are awesome." Xue Yi knew that the country kids were very capable of surviving, but he never knew they were so powerful.

"Teacher, we will also make traps to catch sparrows! Do you want to see it? We will call you next time!"

"Okay." Xue Yi nodded repeatedly, catching fish and sparrows was her favorite.

"Teacher, do you have anything to do later? We want to grill fish, do you want to come?" Brother Jin climbed up from the river and wrung the water from his trousers.

"Okay, but I want to go to the field with Ayaoduo first."

"Ayaoduo is back? Chengwen, come up quickly, let's go find Ayaoduo."

The three children were very satisfied with the results this morning. They climbed ashore one after another and ran towards Xue Yi's bamboo building, "Ayaoduo, are you back? Let's have a picnic today. I want to eat pumpkin rice."

"I also want."

"Stop, stop, don't come in, why did you go there, one or two are like clay figurines, dripping water, wash them off before coming in."

Ayaoduo is doing her homework. She didn't go to sleep until 12 o'clock in the evening yesterday, and she woke up at 6 o'clock this morning to do her homework. She worked so hard on her homework so that she could have fun in the next two days.Seeing Chengwen and Brother Jin coming in covered in water, he hurriedly let them out.

Xue Yi gave them two towels and asked Ayaoduo if she had finished writing.

"Come on, there are still nine words, three words, ah, it's finished." A Yaoduo threw the pen away, stretched in a relaxed way, turned around and asked who wants to eat pumpkin rice?

"Me, me, me!" After Brother Jin recovered from his illness, he was as active as before, putting everything first.

"You?" Ayaoduo threatened him and said, "Have you recovered from your illness, and went into the water again, be careful, I will tell your grandma to let her beat you."

Brother Jin flinched, "No, sister, you're the best."

A Yaoduo sneered, raised her head and asked Xue Yi: "Have you ever eaten pumpkin sausage rice?"

"What's this? Fried sausage with pumpkin?"

"No, you'll know later." Ayaoduo smiled at her, took a cloth bag to pack about a catty of rice, cut half a sausage, and wrapped it in banana leaves.

"Chengwen, let me borrow your homework book." A Yaoduo wanted to pack salt, but cloth bags and banana leaves were not the ideal choice, and it would be troublesome to take the whole bag of salt out, so she planned to tear up a blank homework paper to pack it.Seeing Xue Yi's homework just corrected last night, he took it.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing, how unhygienic is this? And this is the homework book I just bought." Xue Yi hurriedly stopped her.

"What's unhygienic? Didn't you just buy it? Otherwise, what are you going to use? Written, tear it up?"

"Give it." Cheng Wen looked at her, wanted to say yes, then looked at Xue Yi again, and said, "No, no."

"Will it be..." A Yaoduo wanted to ask if you could be more decisive, but when she saw Xue Yi's eyes, she quickly gave up. "Okay, okay, don't tear his, this is a new one you bought, can you tear mine?"

After speaking, Xue Yi took up his homework and tore up the last page when Xue Yi was not prepared. Xue Yi didn't know what to say.

"Just this time, just this time, I won't tear it up next time." Ayaoduo smiled apologetically.

Xue Yi was speechless, knowing that she must not have torn like this once or twice, so he could only let her go.

"What else do you need to prepare? Come on, I'll go downstairs to get a hoe." Xue Yi turned and went out.

"Just get some more matches, you go down first." Ayaoduo stretched her neck and looked at it to make sure that she really went down, so she turned the homework to the front, tore off three or four sheets that she had written, and let Chengwen hide them in the In the arms, don't let Xue Yi find out.

"Ayaoduo, what do you want this for?" Cheng Wen asked while hiding.

"It's very useful, learn more, hey, here we come." Hearing Xue Yi shout from below, Ayaoduo hurriedly responded and went downstairs.

Several people worked in the field for more than three hours. When Ayaoduo saw the sun rising above her head, she knew that it was almost done, so she called everyone together and assigned tasks.

"Brother Jin and Chengwen went to the mountains over there to pick up some dry firewood. They wanted to do something. Teacher Xue and Aying went to their fields to find some green onions and ginger, and picked some prickly ash leaves by the way. I went to the river. Picking lotus leaves and digging river mud, we will gather at the mountain spring later, understand?"

"Understood." Everyone nodded, saying that they were assigning tasks. In fact, they couldn't walk far. There is a clear spring here, which flows into the Baishui River below. Next to the mountain stream is the vegetable field of Aying's family. Rapeseed flowers, peas There are all kinds of green beans, green beans, green onions and ginger, just dig out a little bit.

Pepper leaves are more difficult to get. The pepper tree next to Aying’s vegetable field is tall and straight. Take it off a few times.

When the two came back, Ayaoduo was picking out the pumpkin flesh. Although it was not the season for pumpkins to ripen, Ayaoduo's pumpkin field was low-lying and sunny, so it received good light and temperature. Several pumpkins were already as big as footballs. up.

Ayaoduo picked two relatively large long pumpkins, cut a hole in them with a knife, took out the pulp and threw it away, then put the rice in, cleaned it twice, and then put the sausage and salt in. Go in and cover it with the melon rind you took out just now.

"Next, wrap the pumpkin with lotus leaves, and then spread a layer of mud on it."

"Don't you need to put pepper, green onion and ginger?" Xue Yi asked.

"No, that one is for grilling fish."

"Oh, I see." Xue nodded, seeing her smearing mud on the pumpkin, she hurried forward to help, Ayaoduo said no, "I've washed those fish over there, you can help me rub the salt, Aying , go and help sister wash the onion and ginger, okay?"

"it is good."

Ayaoduo is a child king among children, everyone is willing to listen to her. Xue Yi only found out later that before Ayaoduo went to study in the city, she often took the children to go crazy and go wild. Later, her father was not in good health. , Ayaoduo helped him with many lessons.Therefore, Ayaoduo has great prestige among many children and even many adults.

When Xue Yimo caught the third fish, Cheng Wen and Brother Jin came back dragging a bundle of firewood.

Ayaoduo asked them to light the fire first, then went to wash their hands, and also came to rub salt on the fish. After wiping, stuffed onion, ginger and pepper leaves into the belly of the fish. Seeing that there were some extra mud and lotus leaves next to it, ask the children : "Do you want your fish to be grilled directly or wrapped in mud?"

"Roast directly."

"Baked in mud."

The three children had two answers, and Ayaoduo shook her head: "Okay, half of them are baked directly, and the other half are baked in mud."

"Yeah." The three children cheered, and continued to puff their cheeks and blow the flames.

It just rained last night, and the firewood was wet, as was the tinder. Cheng Wen and Brother Jin blew it alternately for a long time, but they couldn't light it.

Brother Jin was not reconciled, so he wanted to try again. Ah Ying said that you should save the stroke, and the match will be gone if you strike again.

"Let me try." Ayaoduo put down the fish and came over to help light the fire. After a long time of exhaustion, she still didn't light up.

"What should I do, why don't I go home and bake?" Aying said.

"No, you want to be scolded to death by adults?" Brother Jin objected.

"Don't worry, I'll think of a way." A Yaoduo rubbed her temples, seeing that Xue Yi had already smeared salt on all the fish and stuffed the fish belly with various spices, she suddenly thought of something and said, "Ah, I forgot to add chili, Mr. Xue, please find some more chili with Ah Ying, this kind of fish is fishy, ​​and the taste of chili is too strong."

"Okay." Xue nodded and called Ah Ying, "Ah Ying, let's go!"

The two, one big and one small, walked towards the field ridge holding hands.

Seeing her walking away, Ayaoduo hurriedly tore off Cheng Wen's clothes, "Where are the homework papers, take them out quickly, Brother Jin, pile up all the firewood that was burnt a little earlier, and prepare to light the fire."

"What homework paper?" Cheng Wen was young, but he had a lot of forgetfulness. It took him a long time to find out. Seeing that Ayaoduo's homework was all [-]%, he said, "It's really going to be burned, don't you be afraid that Teacher Xue will say You?"

"Then do you still want to eat?"

"think."

"Then light the fire well, don't talk nonsense, hurry up, go upwind."

A few people were in a hurry, Cheng Wen opened the clothes to block the wind, Jin Ge struck a match, A Yaoduo took the paper, and when the paper lit, she stuffed the paper under the firewood pile, the wind almost failed to extinguish the fire several times, it was A Yao Duo kept adding paper to rescue him.

"Are you on fire?"

Hearing Xue Yi's voice, Ayaoduo hurriedly said: "Burn it quickly, put all the paper in it, and don't say anything later."

"Okay, as long as there is something to eat."

"Me too, absolutely not."

Xue Yi heard the three of them whispering around the fire, and he was not afraid of the fire burning his hair, so he didn't ask anything.

"Uh..." Cheng Wen and Brother Jin, you look at me, I look at you, the rhythm of revealing their secrets every minute.

A Yaoduo hurriedly said: "Oh, just don't tell the adults that we lit a fire on the mountain, otherwise we will be scolded."

"Is that so. On the way back, I washed the peppers and stuffed them into the fish's belly as well?"

"Well, just like before, stuff a part and leave a part, and put it in a bag outside, so that the whole fish will be tasty."

"Understood." Xue Yi wrapped one in lotus leaves, tied it with hemp rope, and smelled it, "It's quite fragrant, and it should taste good when it's roasted."

"Yes, yes." Seeing that there was still half of homework paper beside the fire, Ayaoduo hurriedly kicked it in with her foot, and responded uncomfortably, saying that it would be delicious with my 100-point homework paper, of course, I hope Don't be disgusted!
