Chapter 294 The Excellent Aunt in the Period 15
Time flies, and five days have passed in the blink of an eye.
Although it was not the first time for Su Li to travel to the countryside, nor was it the first time for him to experience such a poor life, it was the first time for him to do farm work.
It's the kind of farm work that relies entirely on manpower and has to be done from morning to night under the scorching sun.
After working all day, Su Li felt like his waist was no longer his own.
Not only is it tiring, but the sun is also very hot, and your skin will be tanned to the point of peeling.
There was no other way, she could only follow the example of the female educated youth and young wives, wrapping a scarf on her head, wrapping herself tightly, and then sticking a cooling talisman on her head.
Although I was teased a few times, it was finally not that hot. It was just a pity that the two children were tanned and shiny every day.
At home, she could secretly set up a cooling array to cool them down, but she didn't dare use this talisman on them, as only she could use it!
After five days, Su Li became more and more adept at doing farm work. Except for the task of carrying manure, which she found a little unacceptable, she did all other work very well.
Besides the fact that she was smart and could learn things quickly, it was also thanks to the fact that the original owner had been working for many years and had developed muscle memory.
Today is also a sunny day with the sun shining brightly.
Su Li's task today was to weed the crops in the field. Although this job was simple, it required him to bend over all the time so it was very tiring.
If she hadn't already cultivated Qi into her body and could use her spiritual energy to recover, she probably wouldn't even be able to straighten her back after working for a whole morning.
The distribution of work in the Hongri Production Team is very humane. When it is not too busy, the work is assigned according to your ability.
He will assign you work based on how much work you can do. After you finish the work, as long as the team leader is satisfied with the inspection, you can leave work early.
Su Li had finished weeding a field, but several people next door hadn't finished yet.
After the team leader inspected her work, he credited her half-day work points and she went home early.
When passing by the river, she noticed some fish swimming in the river.
Su Li released his spiritual sense to observe the surroundings. After making sure that there was no one around, he used a small spell to catch a few.
It's so hot today that people's mouths have no taste. They are tired of eating rabbit and pheasant every day. Catch some fish and bring them back so that Chen Ying can make pickled fish to whet her appetite.
Su Li caught the fish, gutted it right at the riverbank, and then put it in a basket and took it home.
When she got home, Chen Ying had not come back yet, so she went to the kitchen to fillet the fish.
Just as Su Li finished cooking, he heard footsteps coming from the yard.
She knew that it was Chen Ying who came back!
Sure enough, the sound came in before the person arrived.
"Mom, I'm back!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she ran into the kitchen happily.
"It's so hot! It's cooler at home!" Chen Ying was sweating profusely, and while speaking, he fanned himself with his hands.
Su Li handed her a towel and said angrily, "Look at how sweaty your head is. Go wash it quickly!"
Chen Ying took the towel and grinned: "Okay!"
As she spoke, she turned around to fetch water from the tank. Just then she saw a basin of filleted fish on the table next to the tank, and her eyes lit up immediately.
"Mom, where did all these fish come from? Did you catch them?"
"Well, I was lucky today. I was washing my hands by the river and saw some fish in the river, so I caught a few."
Su Li's tone was flat, and she sounded nonchalant, as if the fish was easy to catch and was waiting for her to pick it up in the river.
Chen Ying didn't think much of it, just thinking her mother was lucky, and praised sincerely: "Hey, Mom is so lucky!"
These past few days, she felt like she was dreaming and it didn't feel real at all.
There was no endless work to do until dark, no mocking voice from Chen Xi in her ears, no need to worry about other people's faces, and she could have a full meal every day. Such days had only appeared in her dreams before.
No, she had never dreamed of having meat to eat every day. This was a happier life than the one in her dreams.
Seeing her grinning at the fish, Su Li reached out and pinched her cheek, not knowing what she was thinking.
"What are you thinking about? Your mouth is watering!"
Chen Ying came back to her senses, looking at Su Li with sparkling eyes, "Mom, I feel so happy now, it's like a dream, it's so unreal!"
"Being useless is what you call happiness?"
"Hehe, I feel so happy as long as I am with my mother and brother and have enough to eat every day!"
"Okay, go wash your face and come back to cook the fish!"
"good!"
As the saying goes, the first time is new, the second time is familiar. After cooperating with Su Li many times, Chen Ying's cooking skills have reached a new level in the past few days.
Under Su Li's guidance, half an hour later, a dish of delicious pickled fish was ready.
The snow-white fish fillets paired with the bright yellow pickled cabbage and bright red dried chilies are so delicious that they make your mouth water.
Chen Yang was still some distance away from home when he smelled a strong sour aroma coming from his house. He knew that his mother was teaching his sister to cook a new dish!
I didn’t feel hungry just now, but now when I smell this tempting fragrance, I suddenly feel hungry!
Chen Yang was wondering in his mind what delicious food Su Li and the others had made.
At the same time, they were thankful that their house was only forty or fifty meters away from the nearest house, otherwise a group of children would have cried with greed just like the last time when they had the rabbit meat.
Chen Yang was thinking about all sorts of things in his mind, and he couldn't help but quicken his pace.
There was a lot of fish cooked today, so Su Li packed a few bowls out separately and asked Chen Yang and Chen Ying to deliver a large bowl to the family who had delivered the food to them last time.
She went to the village chief's house in person. In addition to delivering the fish, she also took the pot that the village chief had lent her.
When Su Li arrived at the village chief's house, the village chief and his family were having dinner.
"Uncle, aunt, we are eating!"
The village chief nodded without saying anything. His wife, a kind-looking old lady, smiled and said, "Come on, Xiao Su. Have you eaten yet?"
The village chief's daughter-in-law quickly stood up and was very enthusiastic.
"Sister Su is here. Have you eaten yet? If not, have a bite here!"
As she said that, she pretended to go to the kitchen to get the dishes and chopsticks. Su Li quickly said, "Sister-in-law, please sit down and eat. I have the meal ready at home! I happen to be free now, so I'll bring this pot to you."
"I'm not in a hurry to use it. Why are you in such a hurry in such hot weather?"
The village chief's daughter-in-law knew that Su Li's family had bought a new pot. When she lent the pot out, she didn't expect to get it back so soon.
"Haha, you have such a big family, how can one pot be enough?" Su Li said as he handed the pot to her, along with the pickled fish in his hand.
"Sister-in-law, this fish is made by my Yingzi, just in time for you to try it!"
The village head's daughter-in-law had already seen the fish in her hand. After hearing Su Li's words, she pretended to blame him and said, "What are you doing? Why are you bringing some food here instead of saving it for the two children? Take it back quickly."
Seeing that she didn't take it, Su Li walked around her and put the pickled fish on the table.
"Why are you taking it back? This was made by my Yingzi, and I wanted to let you taste her cooking!"
The village chief's wife and the eldest daughter-in-law refused for a long time, and finally left the bowl of pickled fish after the village chief spoke.
