14. The war of cakes
The next day, the family got up very early. The couple went to work and left the four children at home. Fortunately, the children were all old, and the big ones could take the small ones. Zhang Lan was quite relieved about this.
Wang Qian planned to pick up something, but she didn't know when to measure the land. She felt that measuring the land was a big deal. It had a great impact on the land, so she found the little brother. The two of them whispered there for a long time, and Ming Yuan reluctantly agreed to stay at home.
Mingcheng went out with his two sisters and carried a basket and a rake on his back. On the one hand, he was ready to hide it at the bottom of the basket if he picked up something.
After the three brothers and sisters went up the mountain, they searched in the remaining field. When all the things were picked up, the cloth bag in Wang Xuan's hand was already full.
"Brother, we have picked up so much." Not only Wang Xuan, but also Wang Qian feel that she has never been excited before. With the people in her family, she can eat more.
Mingcheng put his pocket in the basket and pulled some withered grass from the field. The barren grass on the ground was very good. Someone came to pull it. Because it was not a piece, it would take some time to hold a basket, so Mingcheng and the three of them were pulling the grass one by one, and the other was pulling the grass. He covered the things in the basket, and the three of them walked back directly by the two big ones without delay.
Wang Qian followed and looked around. The tractor of the arable land was almost ploughed to their area. "Brother, in the afternoon, we might as well go to the place where we grow and see if we can get some harvest."
Mingcheng doesn't dare to say that there is no hope of harvest now. He said before who would have thought that they had picked up a lot.
When she got home, Wang Xuan and her sister quickly separated the beans in the bag and separated the good ones and the sprouted ones. Mingyuan was not at home. Wang Qian probably went to see the measuring place.
"Sister, you two are at home. I'm going to pull a basket of grass back, otherwise it may not be enough to cook at noon." Mingcheng also left. When the two of them separated the beans halfway, Mingyuan ran back.
"Sister, sister, the land in our house has been measured. It has been transferred from other people's homes. It is close to the river, and the watering of the land can be done quickly in the future."
Wang Qian turned her head and asked, "Brother, what if there is a lot of water in the river? Won't you flood our land?"
Mingyuan blinked his big black eyes and said, "No, I've seen it. Our land is still across a dam, which is very high and flooded."
After knowing that his family's land was very safe, she gave Mingyuan an inquiry look. Seeing her brother nodded affirmatively, Wang Qian smiled with satisfaction.
"Brother, look, this is what we picked up today. Let's go to another place in the afternoon to see if we can find something else to come back.
What the Wang family urgently needs now is food and money. There is no way for her to solve the money for the time being. It is not easy to make money in this era. She can only find a way to solve the problem of eating at home first.
The Wang family did not have a clock, so she could only look at the sun to distinguish the time. Wang Xuan looked up at the position of the sun in the sky. She estimated that her father and mother were about to finish work. She hurried to other places to cook. Mingcheng also came back at this time. The two brothers continued to pick up on the kang
Soon, the chimney of the Wang family's hut had raised the cooking smoke. Zhang Lan, who came back from work, followed a group of old women home. She saw her cooking smoke from afar. Of course, other people also saw it.
Sister-in-law Wang Juan was a little envious and said, "Zhang Lan, you see that someone at home has already cooked for you. Isn't it Zhenhe? You are so blessed."
The people in the same industry also talked, "Yes, don't see that Zhang Lan's family is temporarily difficult, they can't stand other men's ability. Look, Zhenhe is a pure man outside, and he is definitely a good man at home. Why don't we meet a man like Zhenhe?"
The rural women didn't have too many scruples when they spoke. Zhang Lan didn't mind. She just smiled happily, "This time you guessed wrong. This is our eldest girl cooking. I guess the little girl is helping his sister to set the fire."
"Really, can such a small child cook? Tut, Zhang Lan, you are the most blessed. This man is good, the children are sensible, and your life will get better and better in the future."
A group of women chattered around about the Wang family. Soon when they got home, Zhang Lan opened the door and saw the two girls busy on the ground, "Children, mom is back, where are those two?"
"Mom, we are working in Kongshan. Come and have a look."
Mingyuan heard his voice and quickly shouted in the room.
The two sisters have finished the lunch and are cleaning up the dead grass leaves on the ground. "Mom, the meal is ready. We can eat it when Dad comes back."
When Zhang Lan and the child entered the inner room and saw that the kang was full of soybeans, even she was stunned. These are only 20 or 30 jin.
"Good boy, it's hard for you. Didn't you see it?"
Mingcheng shook his head and said, "Mom, Dad said last night that we carried it back with a basket, and there was a layer of grass on it. No one saw it."
"Mom, are these beans enough to squeeze oil and make tofu?" Mingyuan asked his mother for credit with a show-off face.
Zhang Lan hugged four children one by one. "You are all good, mom is happy."
When the mothers picked up bean sprouts on the kang, they heard a street. I don't know who's house heard the howling like killing pigs, and then they heard the crying of adults and children.
"What's going on? Let's go and have a look."
When he led the four children out of the house, he saw that the old Teng's house on the same street was full of people, some persuading and some watching the fun.
"What's wrong with this? Why did you hit the child?" Zhang Lan didn't know the situation and could only ask the people around her.
"Alas, it's all caused by cakes. When the child was hungry, he took off the basket hanging on the beam of the house and ate all the cakes inside. When the old rattan's daughter-in-law came back to cook, she found that the dry food at noon today was gone. That's not the case now."
At this time, every family's food is not rich and can only be quantified. If you eat too much, you can only be hungry for the next meal, otherwise no one can stand eating food.
"Alas", although Zhang Lan was reluctant, someone had pulled Lao Teng's daughter-in-law away in the yard, so she didn't say anything to take the child home.
Every family's life is difficult, and it is understandable for children to eat something when they are hungry, but it is also difficult to be a mother. If the food festival is not over, what should we do next month? It is also difficult for a smart woman to cook without rice.
"Mom, don't worry, we won't steal cakes," Ming Yuan saw his mother's ugly face and said cautiously.
Zhang Lan's words made Zhang Lan gratified and sad at the same time. The family has their own difficulties.
"Children, let's go, let's go home for dinner. Your father should come back." Cheer up and greet the children to go home together.
Today's scene touched Wang Qian the most. She had never seen such a thing in her previous life. It was the parents who begged their children to eat more, but now it's just the opposite, but such a day will not last long. In the future, a happy life is waiting for everyone. Maybe today's scene will become the children of the The topics we recall are the stories left to the children and grandchildren.
