It was impossible for Liu Liulang to cook porridge, because all the food was in Qian's room.
The old Zhou’s family had eaten up all the old grains long ago, and now they are eating new grains that have not been dried for a long time. The new rice that has been shelled and brought back from the mill is very fragrant for cooking porridge.
On Saturday, when Langcai sneaked into the room to steal rice, Mrs. Qian discovered it. In the end, Mrs. He went into the room to scoop up half a bowl of rice and went out to cook porridge for Manbao.
Qian called her daughter into the room and asked, "Why did you run home?"
Man Bao pointed to his finger and said, "I'll come back to get some things..."
Qian Shi didn't ask her what she wanted to bring, but said: "I will come back after eating in the school, don't bring the food home."
As for Santou and Sanya Sitou eating all of Manbao's food together, she didn't blame her, nor did she scold anyone.
Children of this age will not restrain themselves from eating.
Although the old Zhou's family didn't let a few children go hungry, it's impossible to eat as much as possible, and it's normal to want to eat.
As long as Manbao doesn't bring things home, the children in the family won't read or fight. This is the best way.
So in the end it was Man Bao who was to blame.
Man Bao listened to the training with his head down, and said, "Mom, my friend said that people outside eat three meals a day, so that they can grow strong."
"Mother also knows that people who eat four meals a day are stronger than those who eat three meals a day, but the family does not have the ability to guarantee your survival." Qian said: "There is not much rice in the family. It’s enough to eat for more than three months, but fortunately, the wheat harvest this year is good, and when the wheat seeds are replaced with the villagers, the family will start eating noodles.”
Qian Shi said: "Although we will plant winter wheat this year, we still have to save some more food for next year. In case the master gets angry again one day, the family has some preparations."
Therefore, it is impossible to eat white noodles. The noodles must be made of brown or black steamed buns with some ground bran.
Because the winter wheat will be planted after the Double Ninth Festival, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the villagers have been lazy to rest for a few days and began to come to Lao Zhou's house one after another to see the wheat seeds.
This year's floods not only severely affected rice, but also wheat, and in some families, wheat was even more severely affected than rice.
After all, wheat is less tolerant to waterlogging than rice.
But the situation of the old Zhou's family is somewhat exceptional. Everyone has seen the situation of their wheat fields, and everyone secretly guessed that their family's yield per mu should still be around two dan.
And they also saw the heavy ears of wheat, so everyone wanted to exchange wheat seeds from him.
A catty is exchanged for a catty. The old Zhou family has picked out the best wheat seeds long ago, and the rest of the wheat is used for eating, so naturally they don't mind exchanging with the villagers.
The replaced wheat was also sun-dried, and Lao Zhou's family directly put the wheat in bags and put it in Lao Zhou's room.
Old Zhou still felt that the food at home had to be kept under his nose to be at ease.
He looked at the grain bag in the room every day before going to bed, and he was able to sleep more deeply, and looked at the grain bag every day when he woke up, and he felt a little more energetic again.
This is the same reason that Manbao looks at the money box in the system every day before going to bed, and the first thing he does when he wakes up is to look at the money box in the system.
Dr. D has not appeared since the last time he traded wheat seeds. Man Bao walked around the village with his hands behind his back, and finally sighed at the bird that flew to the book alertly as soon as she passed by.
It seems that I can only go to Brother Zhou Hu for help.
Zhou Hu also decided to plant winter wheat, but he planted less. He only exchanged 40 catties of wheat seeds with the old Zhou's family, and planned to plant about two acres.
Now he is the only laborer in his family, and he has to take care of his wife and children, so he went out late and came back early. When Man Bao walked over with his hands behind his back, he was fertilizing and was going to dry it, and he was going to scatter it in the field later.
Dafu was helping with a shovel, sweating profusely.
Man Bao paced over like a little adult and asked, "Brother Zhou Hu, have you got your field plow yet?"
Zhou Hu turned fat and smiled and said, "Not yet."
Man Bao said: "I'll ask my elder brother to plow the land for you, okay? Then you help me catch some birds."
Pointing to the birds on the tree not far away, Man Bao said: "That's the kind, if you want to live, catch more..."
Zhou Hu looked up at the birds on the tree, and said with a smile, "If Man Bao wants to play with birds, I'll catch you two later."
"Catch it today. It just so happens that today my elder brother and the others are plowing the field. Let them plow your field as well."
Zhou Hu was taken aback, thinking she was telling a joke, but Man Bao was obviously not.
She quickly ran to the field.
Zhou Dalang and the others were plowing the field, Man Bao just mentioned it, and Zhou Dalang agreed.
Originally, they wanted to help, but it was just ahead of time.
To plow the field requires at least one person to pull the plow and one person to support it. For those with less labor, two people pull it and one person supports it, like the old Zhou's family.
He is the only one in Zhou Hu's family now, unless he takes a hoe to dig out the two acres of land, he still has to ask for help.
When Zhou Hu rushed to the field, Zhou Dalang and the others had already put the plow in the field of Zhou Hu's house. He was a little moved, but also a little ashamed and ran up to hold the plow, "You haven't finished plowing your own land yet. how come… "
"Oh, why are you being polite to us?" Zhou Dalang pushed his shoulder and said with a smile: "The field in my house has been plowed, and we have to change the place. Let the fields be plowed."
There are two fields that Zhou Hu decided to plant. This one is more than an acre, and the other is smaller and closer to his home.
Hearing this, Zhou Hu sniffed his sore nose, and didn't refuse any more. He stepped forward to take the rope from Zhou Zhoulang's hand and said, "I'll do it."
Zhou Zhoulang smiled, but didn't insist, and asked him and his elder brother to pull the plow first.
Zhou Zhoulang supported the plow, and after walking three times, Zhou Zhoulang and Thursday Lang stepped forward to take over.
Zhou Hu didn't really want to replace him, so Zhou Dalang dragged him away, "Take a rest first, what's the hurry."
Zhou Hu followed the Zhou family brothers to plow the field in silence, and went to the Zhou family's field to continue after his own plow was finished the next day.
The Zhou brothers also presupposed that the two would work together.
This kind of cooperation model is not uncommon in the village, but what is more common is that the labor force of the two companies is similar, and the fields to be cultivated are also similar. The cooperation between the two companies is more efficient and faster.
But the old Zhou's family and Zhou Hu's family are obviously not compatible.
But the old Zhou family, who was obviously at a disadvantage, didn't say anything, and no one in the village would say such a thing.
Many people even secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the old Zhou family took over completely, so they didn't have to go to Zhou Hu's house to help.
Otherwise, it would be a burden to them, and also to Zhou Hu's family.
Every time I go to help, I have to eat at least one meal. Now Zhou Hu's family is not rich, so I am embarrassed to eat it, and I am embarrassed not to eat it.
Man Bao wanted to ask her bird a few times, but seeing her brothers and Zhou Hu looked exhausted, she could only say nothing, and then looked sadly at the flying among the trees, and disappeared after a while of birds.
If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have caught them so hard, but now they are all very vigilant.
