Chen Kaifang did not stop him because he knew that his son had a good relationship with Zhang Qiang and Chen Dazhuang.
These two are both bachelors so far. They stick together all day and basically go to the hillside at night.
If you want to go, let you go.
He Damei asked, "Do you need me to go with you?"
"No need. If you go there, there will be no place to lie down at night. Just go home and have a good rest. I will come back tomorrow morning."
"knew."
After lunch, the old couple rested for a while and then left again. He Damei also followed Chen Baoguo.
Tian Wenjun also went to cut rapeseed in the afternoon. After all, in such a big family, she was the only one who slept until noon. She felt guilty just thinking about it.
Before leaving, Tian Wenjun reminded Chen Xiaohong: "Xiaohong, don't use too high a fire to cook the rice dumplings, just use a low fire.
Just watch it and add some more water in the pot if there is no more water left.
These rice dumplings have to be cooked overnight."
Chen Xiaohong asked, "Will it get mushy if it's cooked for so long?"
"That's why I told you to add water."
Chen Xiaohong said, "I understand, sister-in-law."
Tian Wenjun's physique is actually not as good as He Damei's. He Damei is really like Du Xiaofeng said, she has been doing housework since she was old enough to understand. But Tian Wenjun is different. Even when she is taken to the fields by Tian Yuhu and his wife, she is the one who slacks off.
So, when she worked, she didn't work very fast or very slow, but always worked leisurely.
But He Damei worked hard.
In the afternoon, both daughters-in-law of the Chen family came, and most of the villagers looked at them with envy.
Looking across the entire ditch, Chen's daughter-in-law seems to be the most well-behaved one so far.
The daughters-in-law of some families seem to live in the same yard, but in fact they eat separately.
There seems to be no problem with the relationship between the two daughters-in-law of the Chen family at the moment.
At noon, someone from the team brought several buckets of water sprinkled with saccharin, and everyone gathered together to drink. Tian Wenjun brought her own kettle filled with warm water.
He Damei didn't go to drink either. During the break, she picked plums from the field ridges and ate them.
Chen Baoguo said: "Be careful of bedbugs."
He Damei wondered: "What are bedbugs?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a strange and foul smell came out of her mouth, and He Damei almost vomited.
Chen Baoguo laughed loudly on the side, and He Damei was so angry that she picked up a clod of earth and threw it at Chen Baoguo.
Chen Baoguo dodged to the side swiftly.
He said, "Wait a minute, I'll go pick you something delicious."
Chen Baoguo walked towards the edge of the field, where there were rows of mulberry trees. The mulberries were dark and sweet these past two days.
These mulberry trees were planted by villagers when they were raising silkworms. Later, no one raised silkworms anymore, so these mulberry trees have been left there.
He Damei only saw Chen Baoguo picking things from the tree, and soon he came back with a straw hat.
The straw hat is full of mulberries.
Chen Baoguo said: "This tastes better than ground berries."
He Damei knew about mulberries. There were several mulberries trees in her village when she was a child. When the fruits were ripe, everyone would go under the trees to pick mulberries and eat them.
But later those trees were cut down by the team, and she never ate it again.
He Damei looked at her mind filled with memories.
Tian Wenjun sat aside and laughed.
The naughty children in the village would also pick them and eat them when they were tired from work.
He Damei handed them to Tian Wenjun, who only ate two.
The sun sets, the evening breeze blows softly, and the most comfortable time of the day has arrived.
When the men were tired, they would just take off their shirts, roll up their trouser legs, hunch over and continue working. Everyone just kept moving forward.
Occasionally, there are a few people who are slacking off and just sitting there without moving.
It was getting dark before everyone finished work and went home.
After working for an entire afternoon, Tian Wenjun felt like she had been reborn.
On the way here, she just wanted to have a good sleep.
Zhang Qiang and Chen Dazhuang caught up and only then could they see clearly what He Damei looked like.
Chen Baoguo saw the two men and said, "Remember to call me after dinner. I will go up the mountain with you to take duty."
Zhang Qiang knew he would go, so he deliberately said, "No way, you won't accompany your wife?"
Chen Baoguo smiled and said, "We still have a long way to go."
Chen Dazhuang was just giggling foolishly on the side.
Zhang Qiang said: "I didn't ask you to go."
Chen Dazhuang said with a smile: "You have to go if you don't call him Uncle Chen. Uncle Chen is old. He has to stay up all night after a hard day's work. He is a bit of a useless person."
Why did Chen Baoguo feel so awkward listening to these two people talking?
What do these two people mean?
He Damei worked all day, but when she died, she was still smiling and didn't look tired at all.
She is like the morning sun, the same as she is outside.
By the time we arrived at the door of our house, it was already getting dark.
Chen Xiaohong had already prepared dinner. She had filled the pot with water and was cooking the rice dumplings over a low fire.
As soon as you enter the yard, you can smell the sweet aroma of glutinous rice.
Chen Baoguo asked: "What smells so good?"
Chen Xiaohong said: "Brother, these are the rice dumplings that my sister-in-law made at noon."
Tian Wenjun stood by the washbasin in the yard, washing her hands, and asked, "Have you tasted it? Is it cooked?"
Chen Xiaohong really didn't dare to taste it. It was such an expensive thing, and if she ate one less, she would have one less. She was afraid that her sister-in-law had other plans or plans.
"Sister-in-law, I didn't taste it."
"Take one out and leave it to dry. I'll make some brown sugar water for you. We'll each eat two later."
As Tian Wenjun spoke, she had already entered the kitchen.
Chen Xiaohong made corn starch noodles. When all the family members came, she added a fire to the stove, boiled the water, put the golden noodles into the pot, added the corn starch water that had been fried in advance, and sprinkled with a handful of green chopped green onions.
Tian Wenjun changed to a small pot and added water and brown sugar to boil.
Wait until the brown sugar water boils and becomes thick.
They ate first. After they finished eating, Tian Wenjun found a bowl, peeled two rice dumplings for each of them, and poured thick brown sugar water on them. Every bite was so sweet that it almost went to the heart.
She hadn't eaten zongzi for a long time, and after taking a bite, she felt that her life was worth it.
Honey should have been added to the rice dumplings, but honey is so precious and there must be no honey at home, so she used brown sugar water instead.
Zhang Cuihua looked at the rice dumplings in the bowl and was reluctant to eat them. She said, "I don't like sweet food. You guys eat them."
Tian Wenjun knew what she was thinking and said, "Mom, hurry up and eat. I made 1060 of them."
Zhang Cuihua heard this and asked, "Why did you pack so much? Will it go bad?"
"No, I still have to cook tonight.
It’s ready tomorrow morning and I’ll take some to my parents and grandma.
I packed a lot this time, you can eat as much as you want, it’s enough.
When Baoguo goes into the city tomorrow, let Liye and Xiaolan take a few each.
Oh, by the way, there is also a friend of your eldest brother, Li Wei from the county committee.
He has helped our family a lot. Go give him the rice dumplings tomorrow and tell him that your eldest brother asked you to bring them to him."
