In the golden autumn season, the mountains are full of dyes, and a touch of morning glow makes the autumn leaves even more gorgeous, and the small courtyard is sprinkled with golden yellow.
A sharp and piercing voice like a broken gong broke the tranquility of the small courtyard: "Don't lie in bed with a corpse, and serve you with delicious food and drink for a few days, you really think you are the eldest lady! What are you busy doing at home? It's like this, and you are still lying on the bed! Are you dead? Get up and cook if you are not dead!"
Gu Ye slowly opened his eyes, not even bothering to sigh. She sat up and started getting dressed, and it had been five days since she was picked up from the mountain by her clan. In the past few days, she woke up every day to the sound of Liu's scolding. That mother-in-law really made people want to poison her.
After lying in bed for five days, drinking the warming potion and eating nutritious meals, Gu Ye's body was gradually recovering. Although he was still frighteningly thin, his spirit was getting better day by day, and he also gained some strength.
Seeing Gu Ye go out of the house obediently, a smug smile appeared on Liu's mouth: "The pig grass has been called back, and the pigs will be fed soon. After the meal is ready, remember to send it to the field, don't be lazy! "
After she finished speaking, she glared at Gu Ye fiercely again, and went out the door with her head on her back. At this time, it was the busy harvest season, and everyone in the village who could go to the ground was busy in the fields. In previous years, the original owner was also one of the main laborers who participated in the autumn harvest. This year, thanks to this dilapidated body, he only needs to do housework at home.
Gu Ye slowly took out the toothbrush and toothpaste from the space, brushed his teeth and washed his face, and then combed his withered hair into two braids and hung it on his shoulders. He stretched out his arms and kicked his legs in the yard, did a set of strong gymnastics, and then walked into the kitchen three steps at a time.
The kitchen is quite clean, and the ingredients and grains to be made at noon are placed on the chopping board. In order to have the strength for the autumn harvest, the family has increased from two meals a day to three meals a day. Of course, her right to breakfast was directly deprived of her "waste" who couldn't go to the ground to help.
At this time, everyone's food has improved, and they can eat at least one meal of meat and fish a day to ensure that they have the physical strength to survive the autumn harvest. On the kitchen table, a piece of blackened bacon was cut into seven or eight pieces, a handful of beans, two eggplants, and a bowl of thick and thin noodles were scooped out. This is all the ingredients for a family of six for lunch.
Gu Ye rubbed Gugu's stomach, not wanting to feed on the tasteless nutrient solution any more. She moved the stool, took a small bowl of white noodles from the basket hanging from the beam, and then turned out the earthen pot that Liu had hidden, and took an egg from it. With a few slices of spinach, I made myself a bowl of fragrant egg nugget soup and drank it warmly.
Fortunately, the original owner's cooking skills barely passed the test. You must know that she was in her previous life, but even cooking porridge could burn the kitchen.
There are two pigs and six hens in the backyard. After feeding these poultry and livestock, Gu Ye started to have lunch. One stove is for porridge, the other is for stewed meat with beans and eggplant, and pancakes are pasted on the edge of the pot. The original owner has always done this.
I found some seasonings from the space, so I added some five-spice powder and chicken essence to the usual boiled vegetables. Although I don't know if the weight is correct, it is still much better than the boiled vegetables. I took a bowl of pickles from the pickle jar and chopped it up, then I fry another pickle in the pot, and finally completed the task of cooking.
Seeing this dish with a poor appearance, Gu Ye felt a sense of accomplishment in her heart. This is the first time she has completed a meal independently, and the kitchen is still alive and well! Should I show that stinky ice cube to see her masterpiece, dare to call her a cooking idiot
Gu Ye's smug smile gradually faded, she remembered the moment when she was engulfed by the beasts in her previous life, the familiar shouts she heard, and the sad and desperate handsome face in the last glimpse. It turns out that his ice cube face has other expressions too!
"Sister," Gu Ming's voice interrupted her thoughts, "you're not feeling well, go back and lie down, I'll do the work at home, you've already made the meal? Are you tired? Is there anything wrong? Comfortable?"
Gu Ye turned his head and smiled at him: "Brother, how can I be so vulnerable? Doctor Wu also said, let me get up and move around properly, which is good for my body. Come, how about trying my cooking? ' She had a look of praise on her face.
Gu Ming opened his mouth to catch the eggplant pieces brought to his mouth, chewed it carefully, his eyes lit up, and he did not hesitate to praise the words: "It's still delicious that my sister cooks, compared to what the bad mother-in-law cooks with you. It's just like pig food!" After that incident, Gu Ming refused to call Liu's "mother" anymore.
Gu Ye giggled and winked at him mischievously: "Brother, you're scolding us both by saying that."
Gu Ming was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. After my sister was seriously ill, her temperament became much more cheerful and lively. Unlike before, she was pale and trembling with fright, just wanted to hide. In order to protect his sister's smile, he must be strong and never compromise with Liu.
Gu Ming helped her sister put the food in the basket and carried it to the field. Gu Ye slowly followed behind him. Originally, Gu Ye wanted to help carry it, but his brother firmly refused. Looking at Gu Ming who was walking in front, carrying the food with some difficulty, Gu Ye felt warm in his heart that he had an elder brother who could take care of others. It was good!
"Xiao Ye, have you brought food to your father?"
"Xiaoye, your illness is cured, can you go to the ground?"
"Little Leaf, you're still too thin, eat more. If your mother doesn't give you food, she'll take it from your aunt's house, and she'll lend it to you. Don't lose your body and cause the root of the disease. "
In the fields on both sides of the mountain road, the busy villagers saw the brothers and sisters and greeted each other warmly. Accustomed to the indifferent interest relationship between people, he was suddenly surrounded by the simple enthusiasm of the villagers. Gu Ye didn't know how to deal with it, but just smiled and nodded at them. The original owner was originally timid and cowardly, and the villagers did not notice her change.
"Okay, Gu Ming, it's a long way to go after you take a dip in the shit. You take it home? You lazy scumbag, as soon as you are asked to work, you will steal and play tricks! Tell you, if you don't collect the sorghum from these two acres of land, at night Don't even think about eating!" Seeing Gu Ming helping Gu Ye to carry things from afar, Mrs. Liu immediately became furious and jumped up high, spitting out of her mouth.
"Lao Qijia, I don't think you're tired. You still have the strength to jump here. It's better to be young. I've been busy all morning, and I don't even have the energy to talk!" She was the third grandmother of the clan, and she was not used to Liu's way of treating the two children in the front room.
The man of the third grandmother is the brother of the patriarch. When he was young, he was also a master who was not forgiving. When it comes to quarrels, there are few opponents in the village.
Liu Shi didn't want to offend the line of the patriarch, so he could only curl his lips when he heard the words, and muttered a few words in his heart: You still said that you are boring to talk, but you didn't say a word less.
Liu Shi rushed over and grabbed the rice basket. His eyes were like a hungry wolf, staring at the bacon slices in the dish. After counting it several times, he picked up the cakes one by one and weighed them in his hands. Then he glared at Gu Ye fiercely, and bluffed: "Damn girl, are you stealing food at home?"
"I stole it or not, others don't know, can you still not know?" If it was the original owner who would have been frightened by Liu's fierce eyes, Gu Ye seemed to have not seen it, and asked in a leisurely manner. a sentence.
Liu Shi was so choked up that he was so angry that he rushed to the top of his head. She was about to curse, but was interrupted by her son: "I'm starving, I'm starving! Why is the meal delivered so late, are you being lazy at home?"
Da Zhuang said, he had already touched a piece of cake from the basket, and when he was about to squeeze the bacon, Liu slapped the back of his hand: "No rules, your father hasn't come over yet, no one can move the meat! The child's father, eat, let's take a break and do it again."
Gu Ye gave everyone a bowl of porridge, and Liu started to divide the cakes. A third of the cakes that Gu Ming and the two brothers and sisters received were broken off. After she gave a piece of bacon to Da Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang, she gave the rest to Gu Qiao, and she was not willing to eat it, not to mention Gu Ming and Gu Ye.
The stew with two more seasonings is naturally more delicious. Da Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang were like starving ghosts, their chopsticks were moving fast, and Gu Ming also accelerated the pace of serving food, not only for himself, but also for his sister from time to time.
Gu Ye had just eaten a bowl of nugget soup, and he only took two bites of the pancake in his hand and stuffed it into his brother: "Brother, my stomach can't eat too hard food, or else I'll have a stomachache again, you help me get the pancake. Eat it."
Gu Ming didn't refuse, and while Liu didn't pay attention to him, he quietly whispered in his sister's ear: "I will go to Aunt Jiu's house to borrow some white rice in the evening and make porridge for you."
"No need, the Ninth Aunt's family doesn't have enough refined grains, so it's not good to bother others." Gu Ye hesitated, after all, she was only an aunt in the clan, she was afraid that the only affection she had was in borrowing grain again and again. worn out.
"Don't worry, little sister, as long as you are well, no matter how great the relationship is, there will always be a day." Gu Ming decided to dig a few traps for himself at night, hoping to gain something.
At this time, Gu Qiao spoke up: "Ye'er, you are too weak to do heavy work. You will be responsible for the meals in the future. As for the other work, motherfucker, how much work you have to work hard these days."
Liu's face was drawn to the elder: "Everyone in this family is pointing at me, and no one is sympathetic to the exhausted and exhausted people. They are even pointed at the spine and said that they are abusing children. What do you think I am trying to do?"
After eating, Gu Ye didn't go back immediately, she decided to stay and help her brother collect the two acres of sorghum. Liu said that if he couldn't finish it, his brother would have no food to eat at night. You know, an adult who works for a whole day will only receive two acres of land.
Gu Ming bent down in front of him to chop the sorghum poles, and Gu Ye helped cut off the sorghum stalks and bundled them into a bundle. When two people cooperate, the speed is naturally much faster. Gu Ming was afraid that her sister would be tired, so she urged her to rest from time to time.
