Su Li transmigrated to ancient times, becoming the youngest daughter in a military household at the very bottom of society. Her father and brothers were constantly busy garrisoning the border and c...
Chapter 6: Delivering Meals 2 Su Tao ate several mouthfuls of food...
Su Tao ate with several chopsticks in a row, sweat broke out on her forehead, and she couldn't stop at all.
She felt that today's was better than yesterday's, fragrant and spicy. She couldn't help but take another bite before she swallowed the one in her mouth. She had just had breakfast, but her stomach was still full!
Su Li also tasted it. Today's food was indeed much more delicious, especially in summer. It was particularly enjoyable. It would be even better if she could have a glass of ice cola at this time.
"Ha, Dad and the others will definitely like it." Su Tao was so spicy that she couldn't eat anymore. Her lips turned red before she was willing to stop.
Here, Su Tao had already packed the food to be delivered at noon. As for the rice, Su Li steamed the new rice as her grandmother, Mrs. Wu, had suggested. This was rice made from the freshly pounded rice this year. This was also a tradition of the Su family. Every year after the rice was harvested, new rice would be pounded and eaten, which meant a good harvest every year and good health.
This is also one of the few opportunities for the Su family to eat solid rice. You know, they usually eat bean rice or sweet potato rice.
Not to mention, rice cooked with new rice is really much more fragrant, with a special rice aroma that is much stronger than that of old rice.
But each person only had half a bowl, not much, so Su Li took some for herself and Su Tao as well, and they would eat together at the guard post later.
After all, a round trip would probably take more than two hours!
At this time, everyone in the guard post was harvesting rice, but almost everyone was half-hearted and lazy whenever possible. The rice that could have been harvested in ten days was still more than half left.
"Hurry up, you're dawdling, even slower than that old lady."
The armored soldier spoke while wielding a whip, his tone filled with the anger of a superior.
But as soon as he finished speaking, a group of people below burst into laughter.
"Laugh, what are you laughing at? Do you want to be whipped every day?"
"Yes, General Lin, I'm really itchy. Can you please give me some relief?" one of the men said with a grin.
After saying this, there was another burst of laughter in the paddy field.
Everyone knew that in order to harvest the rice, the other party would not beat them no matter what they said, so naturally they all contradicted each other in various ways.
They even wished that the other party would beat them up so that they wouldn't have to work.
Among them, Wu Laosan was the first to bear the brunt.
Seeing this, General Lin was so angry that his teeth were itching, but he didn't dare to really do anything. If the rice could not be harvested, he would be the one to suffer when the higher-ups asked about it.
You have to know that he spent one hundred taels of silver to buy this general flag, and he hasn't earned the money back yet.
What a bunch of bastards! Wait and see how he deals with them later!
Seeing that he had no reaction, the people below became even more excited and started to make a fuss.
On this side, Su Qingshan, Su Li's second brother, saw this and smiled and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Su's father.
"Why are you butting in on what they are saying? Just go and harvest your rice," Su's father scolded.
Others may not know, but he knows exactly who that person is. Lin Gui is as narrow-minded as a needle hole. If you provoke him, you may be retaliated against in some way. Don't be quick-witted now, otherwise you will be retaliated against later.
Su Qingshan was a little unhappy when his father held him back, but he had always been filial and didn't say anything.
Father Su shook his head when he saw this. His second son was so strong but had no brains at all. He was always so reckless and impetuous.
Thinking of this, he looked at his third son who was diligently cutting rice next to him. Fortunately, the third son's temperament was like his, calm and self-controlled, brave and resourceful, not bad.
.
So, it was soon time for lunch.
"Okay, stop working and eat. I'm so tired."
"Dashan Dahe, call your father and come and eat with us."
When it was time to eat, everyone was exhausted and hungry. Those who were close to each other gathered together. The one who had a good relationship with the Su family was the father and son of the Li family from the same village.
During this period, no one brought food to the Su family, so they had to eat the sweet potatoes and porridge distributed by the government. They relied on the Li family father and son for help so that they could eat meat and not collapse.
But if this goes on for a long time, even if the relationship is good, Su's father will feel embarrassed, so this time he refused without thinking.
"Brother Li, you guys eat, we'll eat by ourselves."
Knowing that he was embarrassed, Li Shugen walked over and pulled Su's father, "Come on, come on, my wife at home cooked too much. If you don't come, we two father and son won't be able to finish it."
The two fought back and forth, but in the end, Su's father was unable to break free and failed.
"Uncle Su."
"Uncle Su."
Li Chunhua, the daughter of Li Shugen, came to deliver the meal.
In addition, there is Li Shugen’s son, Li Shitou.
"Uncle Su, Brother Dashan, Brother Dahe, we are waiting for you,"
"Oh, good boy." Father Su felt helpless, as if he could no longer repay the favors he owed.
"Hurry up and sit down. Why are you being so polite to me?"
As Li Shugen spoke, he opened the bowls in the basket, but the next second he saw that there were only some pickles and a bowl of cowpea and eggplant, and the rice was less than half of the usual amount.
He was dumbfounded for a moment, but then he seemed to think of something and his dark face turned red.
"It's just some simple food, don't be disgusted."
After saying that, open them all.
