Chapter 277 Sensible child
Gu Qingqing came out of the house, leading a donkey with a saddle on its back. Seeing the two children digging in the vegetable patch again, she shouted to them, "You two are awesome. You have dug two vegetable patches. If you guys were doing all the housework, what would I be doing back home?"
Dahua was praised and smiled happily at Gu Qingqing. Then, seeing her leading the donkey, she hurriedly asked, "Mom, what are you going to do?"
"You forgot, your Dong Bo and the others went to the mountain to dig bamboo with their carts. I'm going to take the donkey to pull the carts back now. Do you want to go with me?" Gu Qingqing invited her while standing at the edge of the field.
Then Dahua shook her head and said, "Mom, I'm not going. Daxin and I will continue to look for the snakehead."
It is true that Dahua wants to find Quchan, and it is even more true that she wants to help with housework.
Gu Qingqing didn't force her. She was also in a hurry to leave. After telling them to "rest if you are tired", she pulled the donkey towards Niutou Mountain alone.
By the time she found her own cart, it was already filled with more than thirty bamboos with roots, each as thick as a child's arm, that had been chopped down to only half a person's height.
Not seeing them, Gu Qingqing knew that they must have gone to the mountain to cut bamboo again.
"Back off, back off, ah. Okay, just like that, don't move." Gu Qingqing held up the shaft of the cart with great effort, and at the same time directed the donkey to back off between the two shafts.
Only then did she put the rope from the cart around it.
Just as she finished her work, Zhao Dong and Zhao Bei came down the mountain carrying three bamboos covered with dirt.
Seeing this, Gu Qingqing hurried over to take the tools from their hands, "Brother Dong, Xiaobei, you've worked hard today."
After Gu Qingqing finished speaking, she noticed that the two of them were holding something in their clothes, and asked curiously, "What? Did you find anything good when you went up the mountain?"
Before Zhao Dong could speak, he heard someone searching for the blanket behind him. "Sister-in-law, we dug up some bamboo shoots today. You can make some stir-fried bamboo shoots later. You're delicious."
"Hahaha, okay, you only want to eat stir-fried vegetarian bamboo shoots? Or do you want to eat anything made with bamboo shoots, no matter what style it's in?" Gu Qingqing asked with a smile.
At the same time, I tried to take the tools or bamboo shoots from their hands, but they both refused, and even the excuse was the same: "It's just these two steps away."
"Hey, I can do anything."
"Okay, then I'll go back and watch and make it for you." Gu Qingqing didn't step forward to help, but held the shaft of the cart and let them put the things on the cart.
After they finished their work, Gu Qingqing pulled the donkey back.
Dahua and Daxin, who were tired from digging in the ground, came back and put away the bamboo tubes containing the bamboo eels.
Then he told Erhua to take good care of Sanhua at home. Dahua took the basket at home, and Li Xin took the bamboo basket at home and were about to go out.
"Sister, Brother Daxin, what are you going to do?" Erhua asked with some envy.
"We don't have many wild vegetables at home. Dong Bo and his family will have to eat at home these days. Without wild vegetables, we can only eat pickles. Let's go to the hillside to find some shepherd's purse and motherwort."
Erhua no longer remembers what kind of life she and her sister spent at this time last year. She only remembers that she could follow her sister to dig wild vegetables last year, and this year the task of taking care of Sanhua has become hers.
She can't even go out with her sister.
When Erhua thought of this, his eyes were filled with envy, and he said in a low voice with some unhappiness, "Sister, I want to go with you too."
Dahua acted like a little adult and said, "If you follow me, who will look after Sanhua?"
Although Erhua knew that she couldn't go, she still lowered her head after hearing what her elder sister said, "Okay, then I understand."
Li Xin was watching closely from the side, so he certainly wouldn't miss Erhua's reluctance. He pursed his lips and walked up to Erhua, then dropped the bamboo basket on his back on the ground. Since Erhua was difficult to carry, he put Sanhua in the basket.
"Brother Daxin, what are you doing?" Erhua was watching in a daze.
"Let's go together. I'll carry Sanhua on my back. When we get to the top of the hill, we'll find a flat spot. You can play with Sanhua while Dahua and I dig wild vegetables near you."
After Li Xin finished speaking, he grasped the strap of the bamboo basket with one hand, then squatted in front of the bamboo basket and passed his arm through the strap.
Seeing this, Dahua hurried over to help.
Erhua saw that she could go with her elder sister, and she smiled so hard that her teeth were showing, and she shouted happily, "Oh, oh, oh, I can go with you guys."
"You always cause trouble for us." Dahua turned her head and glanced at Erhua. Although her words were full of disdain, the look in her eyes showed her unconcealed doting.
"Sister, mom said that if she is tired from work, she will feel full of energy when she looks at us. Look, if you and brother Daxin are tired from work, look at me and Sanhua, and we will also be full of energy." Erhua said happily in a somewhat unreasonable manner.
"Yes, I don't feel tired anymore when I see you." Dahua said, raising her free hand and tapping her little head.
After Gu Qingqing pulled the cart back with a donkey, Zhao Dong and Zhao Bei sent her back with disgust.
Seeing that it was getting late, Gu Qingqing did not insist, "Okay, thank you Dong Ge and Xiao Bei for your hard work. I will go back and make dinner."
"Boss, you don't have to do anything too complicated at night. Just cook some rice soup and it will be done." Zhao Dong said to Gu Qingqing.
"it is good!"
......
When I got home, I found that my children were not at home. I guessed that they must have gone to pick wild vegetables not far from home.
She first blanched the bamboo shoots in hot water, then washed the pot and cooked some sorghum rice porridge.
I soaked a handful of black fungus and cut a piece of bacon hanging from the roof of the kitchen and soaked it in the hot water used to blanch the bamboo shoots.
Then she kneaded some sorghum flour and white flour as she wanted to make pancakes later.
While the dough is resting, chop the blanched bamboo shoots, wash and dice the meat, cut the soaked black fungus into small pieces, and add some seasonings to make pie.
After a while, the children came back. Gu Qingqing looked at the vegetables and grass they brought back and praised them again.
Gu Qingqing put Sanhua's rocking bed in the kitchen, and Erhua was finally free.
Erhua, who was freed, hurried to the backyard and wanted to follow Li Xin to feed the sheep.
Dahua was picking vegetables in the kitchen.
......
Night began to sweep across the earth.
"Haven't you finished your farm work? Why haven't you eaten yet?"
