14. Autumn harvest
Dinner is stewed chicken with potatoes. Yuxi can't eat the meat. There is not much meat in the first place. It's such a big chicken. Most of them are men at home. Their mothers are women. Geng Mei, as a sister-in-law, eats two pieces by herself and can't move her chopsticks,
She wanted to feed her daughter chicken soup, but how could Yuxi let her feed her, "Mom, I'll eat it myself."
Take a small spoon and eat slowly, so that Geng Mei doesn't have to take care of herself while eating.
After dinner, everyone unanimously praised the craftsmanship of Bai Ziqi, the old man of the Bai family, and the taste of the chicken was so delicious.
"Geng Mei, learn well from my father in the future. Even if my father's skill is a senior chef, he may not be able to catch up."
Mr. Bai smiled at his little grandson's praise to his son. "Your father, I have done so many years of dinner, and this level is still there. Otherwise, how can you guys grow so strong? To put it bluntly, it's still my credit."
Don't say that. The old man is really not boastful. Several sons knew from the beginning that their father was in charge of the kitchen at home, and they didn't see me cook.
It will soon be autumn, and Bai Wenyi has been trained to become a teacher in the middle school near them. The family is busy with the autumn harvest. Fortunately, the autumn harvest of the regiment is mechanical, which can save a lot of manpower, but it also costs money to use the machinery in the regiment. The money is not very much, but at least it is not so tiring. There are so many places, it is definitely impossible to rely on labor alone.
Geng Mei and the others all went to the field to pick up wheat ears, and the brother and sister asked her to put it on the field to play, and so did other families, so there were many children playing together on the ground, and they didn't have to worry about their safety. After all, such a big place was full of their employees and family members It is estimated that the child can't come to such a remote place. Besides, if he abducts a child from such an empty place, the trafficker will either look for death or come to fight.
Bai Haoran put Yuxi next to the wheat straw, "Sister, you sit here obediently and watch your brother play with others."
The little guy was probably in a hurry to play with the children, so he tricked Yuxi into sitting obediently on the ground.
To the little guy, Yuxi gave him a big smile, "Well, go and play. I'll play by myself."
The autumn in northern Xinjiang is the most beautiful. I'm afraid that the scenery she has seen in her previous life is not as beautiful as the autumn in northern Xinjiang.
The leaves of birch trees and poplar trees in the distance have turned golden yellow. Looking at people's hearts, it is as if they are living in a fairy tale world, which gives people an unreal feeling.
"Sister, come on, you eat this."
Bai Haoran's little hand carried a string of reddish-brown dates, which were not too big. "Brother, what kind of dates are these? Where did they come from?"
Bai Haoran pointed to the Gobi in the distance with his little finger, "The sand dates they picked from there, you eat, it's so sweet."
Yuxi only took two, and let the little guy eat the rest by himself. He took one and stuffed it into his mouth. It tasted good and was a little sweet, but the unique aroma of jujube was still a little special. He took the jujube and slowly nibbled it, and tasted it little by little.
Children around here rarely eat snacks, so dates are the best snacks in children's eyes.
"Big White, look at your daughter."
The person who picked up wheat ears in the distance inadvertently saw the scene where Yuxi tasted the dates. The little girl closed her eyes and looked with endless aftertaste. No matter how she looked at it, she felt funny.
Bai Wenli has been used to this for a long time, but he still smiled happily at his daughter's small appearance. "That's right, my daughter is obedient. You see, she sits so honestly and doesn't go anywhere. It's reassuring. I don't want those naughty boy to be quiet for a moment."
Zhou Shengli looked at Bai Wenli in surprise, "Big Boss Bai is not like you before. When did you become so spoiled?"
Bai Wenli's violent temper is the well-known master in the village. He even beats the little doll at home. He has never seen such an expression today.
Bai Wenli looked at the other party funnyly, "Brother Zhou, that's my daughter. The little girl is obedient. I've never seen such a sensible and obedient child. Do you think I can't hurt?"
Zhou Shengli shook his head funnyly, "Big Boss Bai, it seems that you have changed your temper. You should be like this. Children will inevitably be naughty. You still expect your son to be as obedient as a girl. Maybe he will develop a girl in the future. It's better to be naughty here, otherwise it will be easy to be bullied ."
For Zhou Shengli's words, Bai Wenli also agreed, "Yes, didn't you see that I don't beat my son now? Just be naughty."
He didn't say that he didn't beat the child because he swore an oath with the old lady. Even if he wanted to fight, he couldn't. Who let him keep his promise, he still swore to his mother.
After finishing the work in the field, the people in the village got on the carriage and ox cart and ran to other companies to help pick cotton. Of course, it will not be in vain. If you have to earn money, the pocket money at home will come out.
In Yuxi's opinion, as long as you are not lazy, there must be no problem for people living in their place to have a full stomach. This is much better than the mainland. In the early 1980s, many places in the mainland, not to mention eating steamed buns, even the fruit belly is a problem, but they are different here. If they From this point of view, it is quite happy. Anyway, white flour is also a fine grain. However, there is a big problem on their side, that is, there is no problem with being full, but they don't have much money in their hands, and the non-staple food is not as good as the conditions of the mainland. The two sides have their own advantages and disadvantages.
After the second brother of the Bai family became a teacher in middle school, he was regarded as an intellectual cultural person at afar. In addition, he was also very good-looking, so someone began to aim at this handsome young man. There are more come-to-door matchmakers.
Geng Mei is a sister-in-law who naturally has to help her brother-in-law Zhang Luo. After Geng Mei's heavy screening, the rest depends on how the brother-in-law decides.
Today is the day when the last girl appeared. The brother and sister were standing in the yard in thick cotton-padded jackets to play. In fact, Yuxi just wanted to see in advance how the girl looked like today. The previous ones were not worthy of her second uncle, and Bai Wenyi did not like her, so she placed her hope on today's .
She hopes that some literary and artistic young uncles can find their own happiness. In her mind, compared with other uncles, only Bai Wenyi is very kind to her. Other people don't know if they still remember what happened to the original rumors, and they can't afford to make up with her niece. Come on.
