Dress like a farmer

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the hot weather is a little cooler, and the night sleep is much more comfortable.

There are also more rainy days, and the drizzle like silky mist nourishes the newly planted crops. When it rains, the daytime is also very cool.

Brother Cao has come to Chen's house for nearly two months, and he has changed a lot. Not only his face has become fleshy, but his arms and legs have also grown a lot of flesh, and his hands are slightly pressed.

After the busy farming season, Chen Yuchun didn't send Da Zhuang over again. The adults didn't feel much about the loss of a child. The child was too obedient and quiet.Coincidentally, Niu'er was a little noisy, but fortunately Brother Cao is a little more lively now, and the two babies are not too far apart in the same month, so they can play together if they are put together.

Two days before Mid-Autumn Festival is Liu Guixiang's birthday.

Chen Yuandong had long thought that when his daughter-in-law celebrated her birthday, he would ask his third younger brother to help clean up a table of meals, and then the father-in-law and mother-in-law would come over.

He mentioned this to his third brother in advance, and Chen Yuping naturally agreed.

The day before the second sister-in-law's birthday, Chen Yuping went to the second brother's house to discuss the dishes for the birthday with the second brother and the second sister-in-law.

"My father-in-law enjoys a sip of wine, and my mother-in-law will take a sip of rice wine when she has nothing to do. Brother Ping will add two more appetizers. I think they will like it."

"Stewed chicken, garlic pork ribs, braised pork, braised pork feet, crispy fried fish, fried pork with chili, scrambled eggs with bitter gourd, and three delicacies soup. There are no spicy dishes but they can also be served with rice and wine. There are light and delicious flavors and oily red Sauce, meat and vegetables match."

Listening to the menu, Liu Guixiang's eyes lit up: "Okay! The third brother arranged it very well, it's just like this, baby daddy, you give the third brother a hundred coins, and then go to Shen's house to buy some wine, and also buy a few taels of rice wine." Come back, let's have a good time tomorrow."

"It doesn't take so much money." Chen Yuping thought that only a few tens of pennies would be enough if he had a full bankroll: "I don't know what to give for my second sister-in-law's birthday. Don't be polite to me, our family doesn't need it."

Chen Yuandong shook his head: "No, no, your second sister-in-law celebrates her birthday. I have already said that the whole table should be lively. Third brother, you can't take my job. Come, take the money."

"Third brother, you can continue with Qian. Your second brother has been talking about celebrating my birthday for a long time. This is his wish."

"alright."

Father Chen saw the string of money in the third son's hand: "Your second brother gave it?"

"That's right, it's about tomorrow's food." Chen Yuping smiled wryly: "I'll give you more."

"If you want to give it to you, you will take it. The extra money will be returned tomorrow."

Chen Yuping nodded: "I don't even know what to give for my second sister-in-law's birthday. I was thinking of setting up a table for food."

"You don't need to give it away, and it's not for the whole life. Neither your father nor I will give it away, and you don't need it." Old Chen said and said: "At noon, eat at your second brother's house, and eat here at night, that's what you have to eat." Work harder, and call your eldest brother and his family over."

"I'm going to visit the third master's house in a while, and tell my elder brother about it." The meat and ribs that will be used tomorrow will be saved by the third master, and the meat on the ribs should not be cleaned too clean.

Chen Yuandong went to Shen's house to drink, and when he came back, he turned to his elder brother's house and invited them to have lunch tomorrow.

When Chen Yuping went, he happened to meet the eldest brother sending the second brother out, and immediately laughed: "Elder brother and second brother." He explained the purpose of coming.

"Tomorrow will be easier, you don't have to worry about lunch and dinner." Chen Yuchun joked with a smile.

The three brothers talked for a while, and Chen Yuandong and Chen Yuping went home.

The next day, it was still a rainy day, with fine and dense drizzle, the sky and the earth seemed to be covered with a thin layer of gauze, which was very cool and comfortable.

Chen Yuchun came early, and he brought his two children over first. Zhang Zhiwei went to the field and had to look at the crops in the field. There has been a lot of rain recently, and the water in the field was deep, so he had to dig ditches to drain the water to prevent it from being soaked. Small seedlings.

Brother An is older than Qiao Niuer by more than a month, and Qiao Niuer seems to be older than Brother Cao. As for which month the two children are older, I really don’t know. Brother Cao raised nearly two children in the Chen family. It seems to be about the same as when Qiao Niuer was four months old. Let’s count him as four months. Qiao Niuer is more than five months old. Da Zhuang is two years old and is the baby of the four children. .

The children in the family are very well-behaved, they are not fussy or stubborn at all, and they have a lot of fun putting them on the bamboo couch.

Chen Yuping was working in the kitchen, and Chen Yuchun was his helper. Father Chen and Liu Guixiang looked at the four children in the family, and took care of their own stall by the way. As for the others, they were busy in the fields, and it was still raining. Farm work needs to be cleaned up, unless it is winter and there are no crops in the fields, can it be truly idle.

When the Liu family got old, the old man Chen, his father and his son had just entered the house, their trousers were not down, and their legs were covered with mud and water.

Father Chen greeted them first, and served tea with peanuts, melon seeds, dried apricots and sweet potato strips, etc., all from his own farm.

A table of ten or so people was packed, today was a good day, Liu Guixiang also dipped some rice wine and had a lively lunch.

The food was clean, old man Liu and old man Chen were still a little drunk, the two old men were talking like two good brothers, stammering and tongue-tied.

"It's time for the in-laws to enjoy the blessings." Mrs. Liu said kindly, "I also heard about Brother Ping in the town, saying that the food he cooks is very delicious. I'm eating it today, and it's true. Can my family Guixiang marry into the family?" The Chen family has accumulated good fortune, thanks to the help of in-laws on weekdays, the young couple can live a smooth and comfortable life."

Father Chen smiled cheerfully: "Gui Xiang is a good boy, he is meticulous and thoughtful, and it is perfect. It is a real blessing for Yuan Dong of my family to marry such a good girl into the house."

Chen Yuping listened to the business bragging of the two elders, and couldn't help laughing, and hurried into the kitchen with a stack of empty bowls and chopsticks.

In the kitchen, Chen Yuchun was already washing the dishes with his hands and feet nimbly rolled up his sleeves.

The two of them were fast, and they cleaned up the kitchen in a short time.

In the afternoon, the Liu family always wanted to go back to the town, and they drove an ox cart, but the old man Liu was a little drunk, so Chen Yuandong took the old father-in-law and mother-in-law back.

Liu Guixiang placed the things brought by her parents, including fish and meat, two live chickens and two live ducks, Qiao Niu'er's little clothes, shoes and socks, two pieces of soft cotton material, one can be known by the color The one for her is for Yuan Dong.

"The in-laws miss you two in their hearts, and you two also miss them a lot. They often go for a walk when they have free time on weekdays." They are both fathers, and Father Chen feels the same way.When the children are doing well, they feel at ease.

Liu Guixiang's eyes were red, and her voice was a little hoarse: "Father is right."

Even if you eat dinner in the old house, you have to set up a table.

Chen Yuping saw that it was about the same time, so he went to the old house to do some work.

Father Chen didn't ask his eldest son to take care of him, but asked him to stay in the house and take care of the three children.

Soon, Liu Guixiang also came over with Qiao Niuer in his arms, followed by Chen Yuandong, who was holding a chicken, a duck, and fish and meat.

The chicken was not killed, but chicken soup was stewed at noon, and it was too tonic to eat twice a day.

Roasted a rice wine duck, double-cooked pork, braised fish, tofu with shrimp paste, meatballs stuffed with loofah, dry-pot potato slices, winter melon bone soup, stir-fried vegetables.

At noon, I eat heartily, and in the evening, the vegetarian dishes are mainly light.

After the second sister-in-law's birthday, the Mid-Autumn Festival came in a blink of an eye.

Chen Yuping has been thinking for a long time that he should order something fresh. He is very confident in his craftsmanship. After all, he is also a person with golden fingers, and he has lightened up his gourmet skills.

He plans to make snowy mooncakes, which are beautiful and delicious, and they look exquisite and tall.I don't plan to sell it, it's a little too late in time, and I'm showing my greed to all the neighbors in the village. He will make preparations in advance for next year's Mid-Autumn Festival, and the business should be good by then.
