Portable Space: Dressing Up as a Little Brother

After Xiao Yuer put the vegetables in the kitchen to make lunch for Ah Mo, he hurried out to help.He asked Father and Uncle to rest for a while and drink some water, and he poured out all the yellow grains they carried back, piled them up first, and peeled them later.After Xiao Yu'er finished pouring the yellow grains, he went to put the soaked and cooled chrysanthemum water into a bamboo tube, and prepared to let Dad and the others take it for Grandpa to drink later. Finished.

Father and the others drank water, took a breath, and left with the basket on their backs.Ah Mo was about to cook, so he moved a small bench under the eaves where the sun could not be exposed to the sun, and sat on it, and began to shell the yellow grains.First, a hole is torn open, and then the shells on all the yellow sticks are peeled off until they reach the pedicles, and all the yellow sticks are exposed.At this time, you only need to forcefully break off the pedicle and the shell.The yellow grain sticks that have been peeled off the shells are placed in the big dustpan next to them, and spread out to let the sun dry.In fact, it is generally necessary to rub the yellow kernels off the cob, but because there is no manpower, the first step is done first, otherwise the husk-wrapped corn pile will be easily damaged after a long time.

After Dad and the others delivered the yellow grains a few times, the lunch Ahma made is ready!This time Father and the others will bring Grandpa back for dinner when they go to the field.The sun has risen very high, and the outside is gradually getting hotter.After noon is the hottest time of the sun, so you need to go home and rest.It will be much easier to go to work in the field after lunch break.But the situation is that the crops in the field are not yet fully mature, so don't be so busy.When they are all mature, they need to be harvested quickly.It was easy to rain at that time, so we had to take it back when the weather was good.Usually, when it is time to rush to harvest, lunch is delivered to the field, and everyone takes a break under the shade of the tree while eating lunch, and then immediately starts working again under the scorching sun.

After seeing Grandpa and the others all come back, Xiao Yu'er said: "Grandpa, sit down first, drink some water slowly. I'll fetch water for you, and you can start eating after taking a bath. Ah? The meal is ready." Xiao Yu'er said and poured a glass of chrysanthemum water for each of them.So I went to pour the water that Ah Mo had already boiled into the bathtub, and let Grandpa wash first.The weather is too hot, and everyone is sweating from work. It will be much more comfortable after taking a bath.

After Xiao Yu'er prepared the bath water, he went out first to find the children who had gone crazy and didn't want to go home for dinner.At the drying yard in the village, I brought a few sweaty ones back to wash and scrub, and let them wait for dinner.He went to the kitchen to take out the pig food, and prepared to feed the pigs in the pigsty first.When Xiao Yuer came out after feeding the pig, he heard Ahma's voice: "Little Yuer, is the pig ready? Hurry up and get ready for dinner." Xiao Yuer hurriedly put the bucket of pig food away , I went into the kitchen to help Ah Mo serve food on the table in the main room.After they set up the meal, Grandpa came out of the shower, Father and the others just washed their hands and face with water, and wiped the sweat from their necks.They were going to eat first, and then went to take a bath after eating. After working for half a day, their stomachs couldn't stand it anymore.

After Xiao Yu'er had served everyone's meals, he also sat down to eat together.There are not many dishes for lunch today, but because of the heavy work, I made more meat dishes. It just so happens that the family has game caught from the mountains.It's two dishes and one soup, but the portions are huge.One is fried pheasant meat, the other is stewed hare meat, and the other is tomato and egg soup, all served in pots.

Everyone was hungry and ate quickly.I saw the chopsticks coming and going quickly in each dish, and the dishes were eaten in a while.Except Ahmao and the children, everyone else made three bowls.Fortunately, the wooden steamers used to steam rice at home are all very large. After being filled with rice, a 10-year-old little fish will definitely not be able to hold it, so every meal is cooked too much.

After a short rest after eating, father and uncle went to take a bath.Grandpa and Ah Mo were about to go back to the room to sleep, so Xiao Yuer and Junjun took a bath to make sure they were safe and sound, and asked them all to go back to the room to sleep. The yellow grains are peeled off and cannot go out to play.

After finishing a few small ones and coming out, I saw Dad and the others had also taken a shower and were about to go into the house to sleep.Xiao Yu'er went to close the door and entered his room.Although he was not very sleepy, he wanted to lie down and rest.

After they all took a lunch break for about half an hour, they got up one after another.It's just that it was safe or that Xiao Yu'er woke up when he went to call.The twins said as if they didn't remember much: "Little brother, I still want to sleep for a while. Can I?"

But was rejected by Xiao Yu'er with a firm face: "Now I can't sleep anymore, the more I sleep, the more tired I get. And what should I do if I sleep too much during the day and can't sleep at night? Think about it, everyone is asleep, and you are the only one with eyes open Can't sleep, when it's dark everywhere, will you be afraid? Huh? And your brother Junjun has already woken up, are you still asleep?"

The twins finally stopped complaining and got up with their eyelids stretched.Xiao Yu'er wiped their faces with cold water before they all came to their senses.

Grandpa and the others are going to set off again with a basket on their backs, a few bamboo tubes of water, and each wearing a straw hat with a wide brim.After they left, Ah Mo was ready to go to the kitchen to clean up. Before they had time to clean up after lunch, they had to boil some water.Xiao Yu'er moved out a few small benches, let the little ones sit there, and first taught them how to shell the yellow grains.Junjun got started very quickly, and the two younger ones, Pinganan and Pinganan, only learned it after a few times of teaching.But at last they learned it all, although they were all very slow, and they couldn't make one in a long time.But it's better than nothing, and it's better to keep them at home and take care of them than to let them run around.

Ah Ma also came to peel the shells with them after finishing the kitchen work.It must be peeled out as soon as possible before night, otherwise the yellow grains with shells will pile up.

In this way, they are constantly peeling.After a long time, the hands can't stand it!The twins were the first to feel pain in their hands. Seeing that their little hands were red, Xiao Yuer told them to wash their hands, rest, and allowed them to smash walnuts to eat.Now, they immediately ran towards Walnut full of energy.Seeing them running away, Xiao Yuer said to Junjun who was still working: "Junjun, you should take a break too! Go smash walnuts with your younger brothers and eat them. Later we and Grandpa and the others Everyone wants to eat, you have to smash some more to eat. You have to pay special attention not to hurt your hands!"

Shen Jun also put down the yellow grains to wash his hands, and Ping Anan and the others smashed walnuts together.The job of peeling the yellow grains will ultimately fall on Xiao Yu'er and Ah Mo.

Ah Ma talked to Xiao Yuer while peeling the yellow grains.As we talked, we talked about Brother Hua, the son of the old village head.

I heard Ah Mo say: "I heard that Brother Hua fell in love with a scholar? I heard that he is the husband of Shen Miao (brother of Brother Hua's father, who married into the town, see chapter [-] for auspiciousness) Some kind of relative over there is here. I heard that he has been pestering others, which has made the family very tired. And that scholar is already engaged, and the relationship between his fiancé and his fiancé is also good. It’s just that Brother Hua feels that he is better than that My brother looks good, so I think it's not because I don't like him, it's because of that brother, I just don't let him go. Didn't I still pester Shen Miao when I came back a while ago? I wanted Shen Miao to help him Said. No one would meddle in such a thing, so he politely refused. I heard that Shen Miao was blamed for this matter. Later, he went directly to that brother, who seemed to be called Lan Yun I don’t know what they were talking about, so they got into a fight. Later, I heard that Hua Ge’er pushed Ren Lanyun into the water. This will make things worse, and the family will definitely not follow. So I came to Hua Ge’er’s house to find a family Elder. I heard that Brother Hua’s father paid a huge sum of money for this matter! The family members are very angry. Isn’t it the busy farming season this time? The eldest son of the village chief’s family is named Shen Dong, I’m going to take my family back to the village to help harvest the crops, and I’m going to detain Brother Hua in the village for a while. Don’t let him make trouble anymore, otherwise it will affect Shen Miao’s status in her husband’s family.”

Listening to Ah Ma talking about Brother Hua, Xiao Yu'er also felt that this person was really a bit out of shape.Why do you fall in love with someone who is engaged, and others look down on him.Brother Hua is only three years older than Xiao Yuer. I heard that he stayed in the village for a long time when he was a child, and he only went to the town when he was about 5 years old.When he was a child, Brother Hua had to be good-looking, very cute, and loved by his family.His father often brought beautiful clothes back from the town to wear for him.It was the only one in the village at that time.So at that time, everyone in the village thought that Brother Hua was the best elder brother in the village.Xiao Yu'er still remembers being compared with Brother Hua when he was just born!hehe.

Xiao Yu'er was thinking here, and Ah Ma continued: "Brother Hua was raised by the old village chief's house when he was a child. At that time, he looked like a well-behaved and good-looking little brother, but he felt that he was a little more competitive. But it's still very good. When I grew up and was taken to the town, my personality gradually became unpleasant. And when I grew up, I often came back with my face painted like a ghost, it was hard to see. Could it be that the little one in the town Brothers like to dress up like this?"

Xiao Yu'er said: "It must be that Brother Hua himself likes to dress up like that. I don't think I've seen anyone in the town who is so exaggerated. When I saw him last time, I couldn't see his face. The clothes are too colorful, not suitable for him. And the most unbearable thing is that the waist twisted when walking, I feel tired for him!"

After Ah Mo heard this, she quickly warned Xiao Yuer: "Yes! You can't dress up like him. You made yourself look like someone who was good-looking. Our little Yuer looks even better than him! No need You can dress up however you want. When you go out, make it clean and dress neatly."

Xiao Yuer didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this, and quickly said, "Ah, don't worry! I'm sure I won't mess around."
