Farmer's Notes from Another World

After Liu Zhuang made up his mind, he put down the handkerchief on which a leaf had just been embroidered.He knew in his heart that Fang Zhiyuan cared about him, if he didn't recognize Fang Zhiyuan's kindness, if Fang Zhiyuan was unhappy, he would definitely be unhappy.

Besides, he really doesn't like embroidery. With this embroidery skills, he can go up the mountain to hunt a few rabbits with a bow and arrow.Fang Zhiyuan looked at Liu Zhuang and knew that he had listened. He was unwilling to restrain Liu Zhuang for some unimportant things.In Fang Zhiyuan's view, Liu Zhuang is suitable for doing what he likes happily.

The two reached an agreement on the embroidery issue. Liu Amo stood in front of Liu Zhuang's house with washed pears in her hands, and heard Fang Zhiyuan and Liu Zhuang's words before entering the house.He rubbed his tears, yes, he wanted Ah Zhuang to learn this and do that, but he wanted him to live a good life.As he was getting older, and he lived a year, he was afraid that after he left, Ah Zhuang, who lost his natal family, would be left alone.

So, all these years, he has allowed one of Ah Zhuang's brothers to go hunting.Just like what the Liu family said, you don't overwhelm yourself with too many skills, and if you have a skill, you can always give his family, Zhuang, something to rely on.However, listening to the two little words in it now, Liu Ah's heart is both sour and relieved.Ah Zhuang's engagement is right, and he can feel at ease when he leaves in the future.

Liu Ah did not go in, but left quietly by herself.

In the house, Fang Zhiyuan told Liu Zhuang about his uncle being drunk at home.And he taught Liu Zhuang what he had guessed about how to punish his uncle.It made Liu Zhuang laugh out loud, but Liu Zhuang still said: "A Yuan, your uncle will definitely not punish your uncle. He is very nice to look at, and since it is your uncle's father who helped send you back Uncle's, I think, must have been drunk by your uncle's brother-in-law."

Fang Zhiyuan also guessed so, but he obviously forgot how virtuous his brothers are in this era, they are not as cruel as modern tigress at all, so this time his uncle will probably, probably, really not be punished.Thinking of this, Fang Zhiyuan suddenly felt slightly sad, why is it so difficult to see his uncle embarrassing?

Of course, Fang Zhiyuan did not forget another purpose of coming to Liu Zhuang.Liu Zhuang hadn't been on the mountain for several days, so he agreed after thinking about it.The two of them went to the mountain with their backpacks and shovels on their backs. When they left, they agreed with Liu Ama to come back for dinner.

There is a bamboo grove on the back hill of Liujia Village. People in Liuzhuang still come here in spring to dig spring bamboo shoots for Ama Liu to make sour bamboo shoots.In winter, Liu Zhuang usually can't think of digging bamboo shoots, but after seeing Nanzhu on Fangzhiyuan Mountain last year, he remembered that there should be winter bamboo shoots here.Recalling the deliciousness of winter bamboo shoots, since last year, there has been an extra dish on the table of Liu's and Fang's families in winter.

Not long after winter has just entered, the winter bamboo shoots at this time are the most delicious.Fang Zhiyuan and Liu Zhuang cooperated tacitly, Fang Zhiyuan looked for the broken whip, and Liu Zhuang walked back about half a meter and started digging bamboo shoots.Fang Zhiyuan carefully observed whether there was any loose soil on the ground, or cracks, cracks, bumps, etc. When he stepped on the bamboo, the soil was soft, and then he tried to dig out the bamboo shoots.

For Liu Zhuang's digging, Fang Zhiyuan depended on his luck.Fortunately, the probability of failure is not high, within Fang Zhiyuan's acceptance range.The two of them had been busy for an hour before they filled the basket. Seeing that it was still early in the day, Fang Zhiyuan came up with the idea of ​​bamboo.

Liu Zhuang basically satisfied Fang Zhiyuan's requirements, let alone bamboo.So, the two of them made bamboo again. Fortunately, Liu Zhuang brought a machete and was very strong, so he and Fang Zhiyuan exchanged chopping and got a six-section bamboo tube.In this way, Fang Zhiyuan and Liu Zhuang went down the mountain.

When they went down, Ah Liu hadn't cooked in the pot yet, Fang Zhiyuan hurriedly offered bamboo to Liu Ah, and asked him to bake rice in bamboo tubes.Liu Ah did not refuse, washed the rice, cut the bacon into cubes, poked a small hole in one side of the bamboo, poured in the rice and meat, and added water.Finally, of course, use vegetable leaves to block the hole, paste mud on it, and slowly warm the fire in the pot with tongs.

Liu Zhuang and Fang Zhiyuan took the initiative to take over the job and let Liu Ah Mo do other things.Ah Liu didn't say anything, he still had two dishes to cook and a soup to go with the rice.There were exactly two bamboo tubes, Liu Zhuang and Fang Zhiyuan happened to be one each, and they were slowly roasting on the fire. After a while, the scent of bamboo came out.

Waiting for the bamboo rice to be baked, Liu Ah's fried pork slices with mushrooms, sour potato shreds and old duck soup will also be ready.The three of them were about to eat, and Fang Zhiyuan couldn't wait to take out the bamboo tube. Liu Zhuang was afraid that he would burn it, so he specially wrapped his hands with thick leather.The heated bamboo is easy to split, and the rice fragrance, bamboo fragrance and meat fragrance mixed together, made Fang Zhiyuan inhale intoxicatedly, and said in his mouth, "That's the smell!"

Grandma Liu was amused by Fang Zhiyuan's actions, and said to Fang Zhiyuan: "Looking like a tiger, it's just bamboo rice. If you want to eat it in the future, come to Mommy's house and Mommy will make it for you. Ah Zhuang, Hurry up and feed Huzi, we'll eat right away."

Fang Zhiyuan was embarrassed by what Liu Ah said.However, he was used to being casual in Liu's house, so he wasn't embarrassed. Liu Zhuang had already taken the bowls and chopsticks and filled Fang Zhiyuan with a bowl full of bamboo rice, but Fang Zhiyuan gave the rice to Ah Liu first, saying: " Mommy, try it, how does it taste?" I filled another bowl for Liu Zhuang, and then ate it by myself.

There is no doubt about the deliciousness of the bamboo rice, two bamboo tubes of rice are divided between three people, but Liu Ah's dish and soup are uncharacteristically not eaten much.Seeing this, Liu Ahma decided to tell Liu Zhuang to bring some bamboo every time he went up the mountain, so that Fang Zhiyuan would eat every now and then.

After dinner, it was still early in the day, so Fang Zhiyuan helped Liu Zhuang store the winter bamboo shoots.That is to put the winter bamboo shoots with their shells in the pot and simmer until cooked, pinch the bamboo shoots with your hands until they are soft and not hard, and then take them out.Both Liu Zhuang and Fang Zhiyuan's hands are covered with thick fur, the kind that wraps the fur inside.Finally, arrange the winter bamboo shoots in a shady room.

Liu Ah Mo cut up the winter bamboo shoots that Liu Zhuang and Fang Zhiyuan had packed at the beginning to make sour bamboo shoots.Fang Zhiyuan likes to eat, and Liu Ah has made a lot of sour bamboo shoots every year in the past few years.Seeing that it was getting late, Liu Ahmo put down the winter bamboo shoots in her hands, and said to Liu Zhuang and Fang Zhiyuan: "Ah Zhuang, you can take the tiger back. It's winter and the weather is cold. If it's later, the tiger will It will freeze."

Fang Zhiyuan hurriedly said: "Nurse, don't worry, Ah Zhuang is tired after following me to the mountain, let him rest. I am very familiar with this road."

Liu Ama insisted on refusing, and wanted Liu Zhuang to borrow a mule cart from Liu's house to take Fang Zhiyuan back.While talking, Fang Zeng came to Liu's house in a mule cart.When Liu Zhuang saw him, he hurriedly greeted Fang Zeng.

Today, Fang Zeng slept so drunk that he didn't wake up until half the night.Chen Mo's hangover soup was very effective, and Fang Zeng's head didn't feel the pain after a hangover.But Fang Zeng was also very annoyed, he even competed with his elder brother for wine, and even came back after drinking like this. He heard from his brother that it was his father-in-law who sent him back.

Now he has a bad impression with his father-in-law, what will he do in the future.Really, what is he competing with his eldest brother, he is too impulsive.Chen Mo looked at Chen Mo, who was making dinner, and found that Chen Mo was not angry, and the setting sun cast light on him, which made Fang Zeng obsessed.

Seeing Fang Zeng got up, Chen Mo poured a glass of water and brought it over, and said to Fang Zeng, "Wake up, drink some water. Don't drink so much in the future. My brother likes to drink too much, so I blame me for not drinking." Tell you clearly, let you drink too much."

Fang Zeng felt embarrassed, knowing that Chen Mo was stepping down the steps for him.He said flatteringly to Chen Mo, "Ah Mo, I was so happy with my brother-in-law that I forgot about it for a while. Well, are Dad and Ah Mo unhappy? I didn't even feel it when I left. Didn't even say hello to them."

Chen Mo smiled and said: "What's the matter, my aunt and dad just told me to take good care of you. They said that they will wait for my brother to sober up before talking about him. They didn't say you are bad, don't worry. "

Fang Zeng was still a little uneasy, thought about it and said to Chen Mo: "Ah Mo, when you got married, I told your brother that we are not far from your natal home. Your father is getting old, and we Let’s go back to see them, and we’ll go there in a mule cart starting next month. Bring them some specialties from the village, and do our filial piety.”

Chen Mo was very moved when he heard that, his father is not young anymore, so he was worried.However, thinking that if he often went back to his natal home, he was afraid that people in the village would say something wrong with Fang Zeng, so he still said: "Ah Zeng, I think it's better to forget it. After all, there is no reason for a married brother to go back to his natal home often. I got it, I thought you were afraid of your own guilt. It's not good for you, I know your intentions, but I can't embarrass you. "

Fang Zeng gave up indifferently, and said with a smile: "It's okay, my father left early, I didn't pay my respects. If you marry me, your father is my father. Let's go and be filial. What are we doing? There are a lot of gossips in this village, some are angry and some are laughing. If we care about them, then we won’t have to live in that day. As long as we are happy, go back and see dad often, don’t worry , I feel relieved too."

Chen Mo didn't refuse any more, but he was moved in his heart, and lamented that he didn't pick the wrong person.Thinking about his father with gray hair all over his head, he accepted Fang Zeng's consideration for him.At the same time, he secretly made up his mind to take good care of the other party and live up to his friendship.

Fang Zeng didn't see Fang Zhiyuan after talking for a long time. After thinking about it, he asked, "Ah Mo, where's Huzi? This bastard doesn't see anyone all day long, and he doesn't know what he's busy with. He doesn't go home all day, what's wrong with him?" It's almost time for dinner, why is there no one around?"

Chen Mo calmed down, and said to Fang Zeng in detail: "Huzi has gone to Liu Zhuang's house. He said that he would go to the mountain with Liu Zhuang to dig winter bamboo shoots. I saw that he was fine and let him go. A half-grown kid It's not a problem to detain him at home, it's fine for him to go out for a walk. It's agreed to stay at Liu's house for dinner, and you will drive a mule cart to pick him up after dinner."

Fang Zeng curled his lips when he heard this, and said: "I know he went to Liu Zhuang, and this kid likes Liu Zhuang. Fortunately, I made an appointment with Liu Ama back then, otherwise he would often go to Liu Zhuang like this, Liu Ama Knock him out so early."

Chen Mo just laughed and didn't say anything to agree.

However, after dinner, Fang Zeng took a mule cart to pick up Fang Zhiyuan.

Seeing Fang Zeng, Liu Ahma felt relieved, and didn't keep them any longer, but just packed some dried wild vegetables and various dried fruits from her home for him while there was a mule cart.Liu Ah also collected a lot of peanuts and melon seeds, and put some in a basket for Fang Zeng to take back.

After the things were finished, Fang Zeng and Fang Zhiyuan left Liu's house.On the way back, Fang Zeng talked to Fang Zhiyuan, a little annoyed that he lost his sense of proportion today and did not follow the rules.Fang Zhiyuan told his uncle that it was because his uncle was jealous.

Of course, Fang Zhiyuan was slapped by Fang Zeng without any surprise.Fang Zhiyuan was photographed by the power of his uncle's slap, and finally honestly stopped analyzing his uncle's psychological activities, but he complained in private, thinking that his uncle is just a jealous vase, and even his elder brother's vinegar is very delicious, No one is allowed to say, it's too overbearing!

After returning, Fang Zhiyuan used the bamboo tube he brought back to cook rice in a bamboo tube. Chen Mo ate it and said it was good, and praised Fang Zhiyuan's meal.Fang Zhiyuan was very pleased with what he heard, and kept raising his eyebrows at his uncle.When they were sleeping at night, Chen Mo and Fang Zeng sighed, "Huzi looks carefree, but he is quite careful. Liu Zhuang is blessed to be with him."

Although Fang Zeng thought that his nephew was good, but his elder brother always praised others, which made him feel depressed.He didn't speak much, and went up the mountain early in the morning the next day.When Fang Zhiyuan and Chen Mo woke up, they saw a pile of bamboo tubes piled up at home. Fang Zeng said with a little pride: "Ah Mo, don't you like eating rice in bamboo tubes? I bought some more bamboo for you and made them for you." Eat." Although Fang Zeng tried his best to show his poise, Fang Zhiyuan only saw a big dog who just wanted to invite his partner to pet him, which blinded Fang Zhiyuan's eyes too much!

Fang Zhiyuan really wanted to say to his uncle: Uncle, can you be more childish?
