Shen Nian placed the stove in a cool corner outside the kitchen, and started to light a fire with small pieces of firewood.
Nanqiao picked a few green leaves that he had gotten from Aunt Xiumei yesterday and washed them.
I thought I could rinse it and mix it with noodles.
By the way, you can also fry an egg. Even if you don’t have meat, you can still eat an egg.
While Nanqiao was picking vegetables, washing them, and mixing the sauce, Shen Nian had already started the fire and heated a pot of water so that she could cook the noodles.
Seeing that the water would not heal for a while, Shen Nian sat down on a recliner on the side of the South Bridge and leaned against the back of the chair.
South Bridge looking at the blue sky
The voice said lightly, "Qiaoqiao, although farm work here is hard, I have to say the sky here is really blue."
"Oh, by the way, Qiaoqiao, didn't you just say that your neck was a little red from the sun? I said I'd get you some water to apply on it."
Shen Nian suddenly remembered this matter, and got up from the chair while talking to herself, and was about to fetch water.
But just as he stood up, Nanqiao grabbed him and said, "Take a rest. You can apply it again after lunch."
After hearing this, Shen Nian continued to sit down. Now he still had to cook and eat, and it seemed that he could not
"Okay, let's apply it after dinner. I saw two straw hats in the kitchen. Let's ask Aunt Xiumei if we can borrow one this afternoon. This way, our necks can be covered a little," Shen Nian suggested.
"Okay," Nanqiao nodded in agreement, and couldn't help but miss the modern times. It would be great if there were mobile phones. With just a few clicks, you can contact people.
Now, no matter what you do, you have to go there in person, which is time-consuming and laborious...
Thinking of this, Chen Nian stood up and said to Nanqiao, "Qiaoqiao, you cook noodles at home. I'll go to Aunt Xiumei's house and tell her. It's better to tell her first if I need someone else's things. If I go after dinner, I'm worried that Aunt Xiumei and the others will be resting."
Chen Nian is a man of decisive character. Apart from the big problem of getting up, everything else he says he will do is done right away, and he will never put it off.
In Shen Nian's words, it means that you have to keep thinking about it while procrastinating, which is even more tiring. It is better to finish it as soon as possible.
Nanqiao thought for a moment after hearing this, and then responded, "Okay, Nian Nian, thank you for taking the trip."
"It's not that hard, it's just two steps in the front and back yards."
After saying that, Shen Nian wandered to Aunt Xiumei's house.
When Shen Nian arrived at Aunt Xiumei's house, Aunt Xiumei and her family were preparing to eat. It was just a simple two-grain pancake and a bowl of porridge made of unknown grains, as well as some pickled side dishes. It was simple and light.
But now the villagers eat this way most of the time, and they don’t think there is any difference.
"Aunt Xiumei" Shen Nian stood at the gate and looked inside. When he saw Aunt Xiumei coming out of the kitchen, he called out
"Hey, Shen Zhiqing, why are you here? Have you eaten? Do you want to eat something here with us?" Aunt Xiumei looked at Shen Nian outside the yard and called her in to eat.
"Sister Shen Nian, come to our house and eat something." Taohua also ran out of the house when she heard the voice.
Hearing Shen Nian's voice, Sheng Yanchuan came out of the house immediately, but he was a little disappointed when he didn't see Nanqiao.
But since he was out, he didn't think about going back. He nodded to Shen Nian and went to the kitchen to see if there was anything he could help with.
Seeing that everyone came out after hearing her voice, Shen Nian said a little embarrassedly, "Aunt Xiumei, I won't go in. Qiaoqiao is waiting for me at home cooking. I just want to ask you, I see there are two straw hats in the kitchen of the house over there, I want to ask if we can use them."
"Sure, sure, you can use whatever you want in that room. Why do you need to come here specifically for this?" Aunt Xiumei said carelessly.
"I thought it would be better to ask you," Shen Nian said politely.
"Go ahead and use it. You must have gotten sunburned this morning. It's normal for you city girls to have delicate skin and tender flesh that are not used to the strong sun here. Wear long sleeves and long pants in the afternoon, at least it can cover you up a little."
"Yes, we didn't expect to be exposed to the sun like this. I was used to playing outside at my grandmother's house when I was a kid, so it's okay. Qiaoqiao's neck got a little red from the sun this morning and said it hurt a lot, so I thought it would be better to wear a straw hat in the afternoon," Shen Nian explained.
Aunt Xiumei glanced at her little son, who was frowning and had his ears perked up.
I can't help but feel a little disappointed. If you like someone, just go after him. Why do you keep it to yourself at home?
Many families in the village do not like to marry educated youth wives, thinking that if they can return to the city one day, they will abandon their families and children.
She didn't really care. After all, they had their own lives to live. If the educated youth's wife really abandoned her family and children and wanted to go back to the city, it would be her son's inability to keep her, and she couldn't blame anyone else.
But generally speaking, the family was poor in the early years, and their youngest son suffered a lot for the eldest son to marry a wife, so now she hopes that her son can marry a girl he likes, even if she has to sell everything she has to fight for it.
But looking at this silent and stupid boy, Aunt Xiumei was at a loss for a moment. She had to fight for it. At least the real owner had to move. What was the point of her being so enthusiastic...
Thinking of this, Aunt Xiumei didn't care anymore, she turned to Shen Nian and said, "Shen girl, wait a moment, I have some medicine at home, take it back and apply some to Nan girl, it will get better soon"
Shen Nian quickly refused and said, "Aunt Xiumei, no need. Qiaoqiao said that there is no need to apply medicine. Just apply well water. It's not serious."
Medicines are very expensive these days. She has seen sunburned areas in Nanqiao before. They were just slightly red, and the medicine application was really not that serious...
Aunt Xiumei saw that Shen Nian refused, so she didn't say anything else, but just said, "Okay, if you need it, come to Aunt's house anytime."
