Chapter 7 My mother ground three pounds of flour



He was so hungry at this moment, and seeing Feng Anchen's leisurely pace, he wanted to urge him, but he thought that this boy must be exhausted.

He and Feng Anchen are good brothers, and this guy once saved his life.

He is so slow, he must not want to move, I feel a little distressed.

So I didn't urge him.

Feng Anchen glanced at the back of the girl walking away, and a hint of surprise flashed in his usually calm eyes.

This is a smart girl.

Her hands were slender and small, and she grabbed about the same amount of wheat each time. The angle at which she bent, the strength with which she swung the sickle, and the movement of placing the wheat were all done to perfection.

It saves time, effort and is highly efficient.

But it is also relative.

Without machines, everything is done manually, and everyone would be tired.

He saw that the little girl's back was wet with sweat.

The figure looks increasingly slimmer.

What a pity that such a smart girl has never read a book.

I guess I'm just like him, not interested in studying.

He withdrew his gaze indifferently, and slowly followed Li Qing, who kept looking back at him, back to Mr. Shen's house for dinner.

Alas, I still have to work in the afternoon.

At this time, Shen Mingxi was hurriedly walking on another road home. If he remembered correctly, his younger brothers Goudan and Yaya were digging wild vegetables in the fields.

The two children were weak, but they had to carry wicker baskets back and forth between the fields every day.

Just now she asked Aunt Zhang to tell her eldest brother that she would take Goudan and Yaya home, and could also help them carry back the pig food. In the past, it was mostly done by her eldest and second brothers.

Although physically tired, Shen Mingxi still walked very fast, but his mind was a little confused.

She should be remembering correctly, she never taught them in her previous life.

Naturally, he did not join Feng Anchen and the others in harvesting wheat.

Why did such a change happen in this life?

Maybe, it was because she went back to ten years ago with the memories of the future.

Thinking of this, Shen Mingxi clenched his fists, and his clear eyes seemed to be filled with fragmented sunlight.

She looked up and was surprised to find that the sky in Kaoshantun was so blue. The tender green willow trees on both sides of the road were swaying slightly, and pink and purple morning glories were blooming on the untrodden ground.

There are mostly low mud houses around, but the vegetable garden of each family is lush and green. Some squash have climbed up to the top of the wall, and the owner has propped it up with a wooden stick.

This is the time when eggplants and beans are harvested. Although each family’s vegetable garden is not big, the land is fully utilized. Red tomatoes, green cucumbers and purple eggplants are hanging on the branches, making the small vegetable garden look full of vitality.

She had never noticed these things before.

At this moment, she saw two children walking slowly with their backs bent, carrying wicker baskets on their backs.

She no longer cared about anything else and ran quickly.

When they got there, they took down two wicker baskets, one in their hands and one on their backs. Yaya stretched out her hands and smiled, "Third sister, this is for you. It's black and oily. My brother and I have finished eating it, so this is for you."

In Yaya's little hand was a small pile of black oily fruits that were common in the north but had been picked up almost immediately after being ripened.

Most people in the north don’t know the scientific name of this thing.

Because it is black in color, everyone calls it that.

It's a little sweet, and has an indescribable flavor.

But the kids love to eat it.

"Third sister!"

Goudan blushed, stamped his feet, and protested, "My name is Shen Linfeng, not Goudan, I have a name..."

Shen Mingxi looked down at his handsome but skinny younger brother.

Moisture slowly filled her eyes. This was the relative who had been with her the longest in her previous life and also the smartest child in the family. Under such difficult conditions, he still managed to be admitted to the best university in Beijing.

But later...

Shen Mingxi refused to think further.

She reached out her hand and took off a willow leaf from her brother's head. She tried hard to suppress her emotions and calm her choked voice. "Okay, okay, I know your name is Shen Linfeng, but calling you by your full name makes it seem like we are not a family..."

Goudan hesitated.

I touched my head and it seemed to be true.

Only people you don't know well would call someone by their full name.

"Third sister only calls me that behind my back and never calls me that to my face. Is that okay?" Shen Mingxi discussed.

Goudan thought about it seriously and nodded, "Okay, Third Sister."

Shen Mingxi did not delay any longer. He pulled Yaya with his right hand, and Yaya pulled Goudan, and they walked quickly towards home.

When they were almost home, a girl with two big black braids stood at the door of the Su family, which was three doors away from their home. Seeing the three siblings coming, she waved happily and then seemed to be unable to wait any longer. She trotted over to Shen Mingxi. Her little face was flushed, her nose was covered with sweat, and her breathing was unstable, but she spoke briskly, "It's Xiaoxi, you're back from the fields..."

Shen Mingxi was stunned for a moment.

Without waiting for her to speak, the girl opened a cloth bag in her hand. Inside were five plump white flour dumplings, placed side by side on the white steamer cloth.

Goudan and Yaya couldn't help swallowing.

My stomach also started to growl.

Yaya said sweetly, "Sister Xiaojuan."

Shen Mingxi stared at the girl's raised eyebrows. The weather was very hot, and after running a few steps, her bangs on her forehead were wet with sweat. But even so, she still looked youthful.

Her name is Su Xiaojuan.

She was my second brother’s fiancée in my previous life.

Life was really difficult back then. My eldest brother and father died one after another, my mother was seriously ill, and the Shen family's eldest wife had become such a disaster that the villagers were terrified of her.

But the Su family not only did not despise him, they also took the initiative to propose marriage. The Su family liked the second brother Shen Qingshan and arranged the marriage in front of their seriously ill mother Chen Li.

Perhaps because of this happy event, my mother's health unexpectedly improved, but who would have thought that a month later, my second brother accidentally killed two people in the city. She didn't know the cause, but the verdict was announced quickly. It was said that the deceased was a child from the capital, and he was executed a month later.

Until the day she died, she never saw her second brother.

And on the day my second brother died, Su Xiaojuan also died.

It rained heavily that day, and everyone said that she fell into the Fengquan River by accident.

Later, the Su family moved away and never saw them again.

Shen Mingxi put down the wicker basket and wanted to hug this kind-hearted girl with smiling eyes. In the previous life, before they got engaged, she had helped them a lot.

She once hoped that Sister Xiaojuan would become her sister-in-law as soon as possible.

pity……

Seeing Shen Mingxi in a daze, Su Xiaojuan smiled and waved her hands in front of her eyes, and said crisply, "Xiaoxi, these are the wheat ears that my brother and I picked up. My mother ground three pounds of flour. The dumpling fillings are duckbill vegetables and eggs. They are delicious. Eat them quickly, don't let your grandma see..."
