Chapter 27 The critical step, no one knows it
By the time the three of them got the wood and went back, it was already two hours later.
Song Yun and Song Haopo have already tidied up the backyard.
Xiaomi, who had gone out to dig wild vegetables, also returned home at this time. Also returning with her were roots and water flowers from Song Bufan's family.
Li Xiucai was busy cutting firewood for paving the roof, so he gave Xiaomi the task of cutting grass for Song Dezhu.
As a result, Xiaomi got an errand and dragged her little friend into the water with her.
But let alone, the children in the village are still very efficient at work. In half a day, the three children cut three large baskets full of fodder.
Especially Shuihua. This child is three or four years older than Xiaomi. He is very honest. The grass in the basket is pressed again and again. When a basket of grass is poured out, it is more than Xiaomi and Shuigen can cut. .
"Xiaomi, you guys get busy, we're leaving first."
After unloading the forage, Shuihua held the soil root with yellow pus and a big nose, said goodbye to Xiaomi, then put the basket on his back and prepared to go home.
Without thinking, she was stopped by Chen Dongyue who was sitting in the yard drinking water, "Don't leave, don't leave. Eat lunch before leaving."
After working all morning, Chen Dongyue felt so hungry that stars were popping up in her eyes. The more she drank the water, the hungrier she became. She must have some lunch.
Shuihua whispered, "No, no need, Auntie."
"What are you calling aunt? Call me sister!!" Chen Dongyue retorted without thinking.
The kid Tugen, the snot-nosed kid, was so frightened that he shrank away from his sister.
This child was beaten too much by his father at home, so he was a little timid outside.
"Sister Dongyue..." Shuihua called out cautiously: "I, we don't have lunch..."
"No," Chen Dongyue shook her head, "You have to eat today, and you have to eat even if you don't want to eat. Xiaomi, ask your friend to wash his hands, and I'll go see what your aunt can cook."
Xiaomi replied happily, and then took Shuihua to get the gourd and ladle to wash her hands.
She said don't be polite if you ask Shuihua. Anyway, if you don't eat Shuihua for lunch, it would only be an advantage for Li Xiucai.
I don’t know what’s going on with this person. He’s so skinny and weak, but he eats more than...she.
The point is, he just ate it, and he repaid the favor by letting her study, but he actually tried to give her homework.
Simply, it doesn't look like anything.
Helpless Li Xiucai reminded Xiaomi, "I'm still here. If you say bad things about people, can you avoid me?"
"Look! He also likes to eavesdrop!" Xiaomi became even more angry, grabbing the water splash and roots and ran away.
Song Yang, who was squatting on the side watching the battle, couldn't stop laughing. Li Xiucai counterattacked: "Don't laugh, I think Xiaomi is more popular than you."
"No, please listen to my explanation. Mancang and Chujiu are really good friends of mine, but...Li Xiucai, please don't leave. Listen to me, Li Xiucai!!!"
.......
in the kitchen.
Chen Dongyue was scolding Fang Qiu, "I'm afraid it's too late to cook rice and steamed buns. Old lady, go to the backyard to pick some green onions and coriander. Ayun, mix some coarse flour with some white flour, make it into a paste and add some salt. Let's spread out the pancakes and eat them. .”
"No, Dongyue, we just ate so much in the morning..." Song Haopo pressed Song Yun's hand and wanted to struggle a little.
But Chen Dongyue said: "In the afternoon, I have to build a cowshed and build a toilet, so there is a lot of work. If I accidentally hurt myself because I am too hungry, wouldn't it be worth it?"
"Mom, why don't you just listen to my sister-in-law." Song Yun also supported Chen Dongyue's point of view, "Anyway, it doesn't happen every day, so let's do it this time."
Okay, Song Haopo had nothing to refute. She only told her daughter to make the flour paste a little thinner, and then turned to go to the backyard to pick coriander.
When she came back from picking coriander and green onions, Song Yun's flour paste had been mixed. Chen Dongyue said it was a pity that there were no eggs, but Song Haopo said that the flour paste was too thick.
However, Song Haopo has now been deprived of the right to hold the spoon, so Chen Dongyue told Song Yun not to worry about what she said about the flour paste being too thin or too thick.
As long as the food is delicious, no matter how thick it is, it’s worth it!
After the basin of batter was spread out, more than twenty coriander pancakes were baked.
Chen Dongyue held the pancakes and gave each person three pancakes. Otherwise, some people's skin would be too thick and some people's skin would be too thin, so the food would be unevenly distributed.
To be honest, with her current stomach capacity, it would be easy to show off all of these twenty or so pancakes.
But... A person who loses fat must have the consciousness of a person who loses fat. When it is time to shut up, he must learn to shut up.
As a sports student, controlling weight is not a big challenge for Chen Dongyue.
Shui Hua was an honest child. She finished her piece of cake silently and asked Song Yun if she could take the unfinished cake back to her parents.
Tugen, who had just put the last bite of cake into his mouth, turned around quickly after hearing what his sister said, and spit out all the cake that he had not had time to chew.
My sister knew how to leave food for her parents, but she didn't leave any for herself. Tu Gen was afraid that she would be beaten again later.
So he planned to contribute the bread he spit out to his father later.
When Song Yun heard this, she praised Shuihua and asked her if she was full. If not... Song Haopo hurriedly answered, "If you are not full, I will bring you two more big radishes."
.... Chen Dongyue, who was drinking water, almost spit out a mouthful of tea from her nose.
But she didn't object.
She's a loose person, so there really needs to be someone in the family who's tight.
Although Song Haopo's search is a bit unpopular, it is indeed needed at this moment.
White radish is now a staple food in Qingshan Village, so Shui Hua naturally said that she had some at home, and then thanked everyone in the courtyard again and took her brother home.
After everyone had eaten and rested for more than half an hour, they were ready to start building the cowshed.
But at this time, Chen Dongyue faced a more serious question, "This... what is the first step? Who knows?"
After asking, she looked at Song Yang.
Song Yang was shocked, "I don't know how. You built this barn when your eldest brother and I got married five years ago. I was only eight years old at that time."
"...I don't even remember." Song Yun said quickly.
Chen Dongyue looked at Li Xiucai.
"My boss, do you think I have a body like someone who can build a cowshed?" Li Xiucai stretched out his trembling arms, "To be honest, I was exhausted from cutting thatch in the morning. I have never done this in my life. Such heavy physical work.”
"Then you still have to practice more, otherwise you will have to take the imperial examination in the examination booth." Chen Dongyue muttered.
But how will it end now? !
