Chapter 280 Working People Work Hardest
Gu Qingqing came back a little early and hurriedly scrambled the eggs into egg crumbs, soaked the vermicelli in hot water and then chopped it into pieces, and chopped the soaked black fungus into pieces.
Everything was ready, but Shepherd's Purse had not come back yet.
"Erhua, go to our hillside and look for my sister so that she can come back." Gu Qingqing said to Erhua while hurriedly pinching and mixing the stuffing in her hands.
"Mom, who will take care of my sister then?" Erhua asked knowingly with his eyes rolling.
Gu Qingqing was amused by her little thought of not wanting to bring her sister, and then glared at her, "Go quickly."
Erhua screamed happily and disappeared quickly like a rabbit. It seemed that not having to look at Sanhua was the happiest thing for her.
Then, Erhua just ran out of the door and saw Sister A and Brother Daxin coming down the hillside.
Erhua shouted at them at the top of her voice, "Sister, hurry up, mother is waiting for you."
"Mom is back?" Dahua said as she quickened her pace.
Erhua came up to me, her little face filled with smiles, "You're back a long time ago, mom has already fried the eggs."
When Erhua said this, she suddenly raised her hand to cover her mouth, fearing that her sister would know that her mother had just fed her a small piece of egg.
But Dahua was in a hurry to go back and didn't notice her little action at all.
"Mom, we're back." Dahua shouted as soon as she entered the yard.
"You're back! Come on, pick the vegetables quickly. We're waiting for you."
Shepherd's purse is very tender and does not need to be blanched in water. After washing it, Gu Qingqing directly uses salt to drain the water, then washes it and chops it into stuffing.
Daxin rolled the dough and she was responsible for wrapping it. After the buns were put into the pot, she briefly instructed Dahua to pay attention to the fire and then handed over the kitchen to others.
As for herself?
Naturally, he hurried to boil the medicine.
Seeing his aunt busying herself again, Li Xin said to Dahua who was making a fire, "You stay at home and make a good fire. I will take the lambs to the hillside to graze, and I will also dig some grass for the rabbits and donkeys at home."
Although Dahua also wanted to go herding sheep, she couldn't leave at the moment and could only feel regretful for not being able to go herding sheep with them.
When Erhua heard about herding sheep, she immediately looked at her sister with bright eyes.
Just by looking at her appearance, Dahua knew what she wanted to do without having to guess.
"You can go if you want, but don't cause trouble for Brother Daxin, or I won't take you next time."
"Sister, you are so nice, I like you the most." Erhua didn't even finish her words before she disappeared in the kitchen and ran towards the backyard.
"Come back early to eat, otherwise mother will be worried again when she sees you are not here." Dahua reminded Li Xin.
Li Xin nodded fiercely, "I know."
Then they took Erhua with them and drove the two lambs out.
The remaining Dahua was making a fire while patiently teaching Sanhua to speak.
......
noon.
"Grandpa Yang, Uncle Dong's mother is busy. There are big steamed buns in the kitchen and porridge in the pot. Mother said that there will be enough buns for you to eat today, and the porridge will be served with pickles, so you don't have to be disgusted."
Dahua held the shoulders and entertained the uncles and aunts who came back from work on behalf of her mother.
Zhao Dong and his friends naturally didn't dare to ask Gu Qingqing what she was busy with, so they just assumed that she was not at home and served themselves some rice and started eating.
By the way, the four children were also brought along.
Porridge, pickles and buns can make several people happy.
It was not until they were almost done with their meal that Zhao Dong caught a glimpse of Gu Qingqing hurrying out of the ear room. After being slightly surprised, he spoke up to greet her.
"Hey, sister-in-law, are you at home? Why don't you come out for dinner?" Zhao Bei asked.
"I'm not done yet, don't worry about me, you guys eat first."
"Today, there are many children and elderly people who went up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots. We also have to dig some back. They are in the car in front. Sister-in-law, you can take care of it yourself."
Gu Qingqing came out to get something, and when she suddenly heard Zhao Bei say this, she was stunned for a long time before she suddenly realized what was going on. She nodded in confusion and said, "Okay, put it aside for now. When I'm done, I'll help you dry it into bamboo shoots, and you can store it for later."
Zhao Bei swallowed the delicious bun in his mouth and looked silly with joy. If not for the fact that everyone in the courtyard was very familiar with him, a stranger would inevitably regard him as a fool with his squinting eyes and baring front teeth.
"Boss, we didn't ask you to make this for us. We poached it and gave it to you." Zhao Dong spoke at this time.
It was only at this time that Gu Qingqing seemed to realize what they meant. She shook her head and said, "Why are you doing this to me? Just keep it for yourself. At the very least, you can sell it in town for some money."
Although Gu Qingqing also planned to dry some bamboo shoots this year to eat in autumn and winter, she didn't want them for a while.
The main reason is that the working people work too hard!
"You keep it. They are working for your family now, and they dug it up just by chance. Besides, the people digging over there are villagers, so it's reasonable for them to give it to your family. If you sell it, it will cause trouble." At this time, Old Yang spoke while holding his bowl.
Gu Qingqing understood what Old Yang meant immediately and said with a smile, "Uncle Yang, you think too much. Niutou Mountain does not belong to Niutou Mountain Village, and the things on the mountain do not belong to the village like the land around the village. Don't you go to Shuangxi Village and Chenjia Village to dig the bamboo forest, not to mention Niutou Mountain Village? If you are worried about this, go ask the village chief. You can dig now while everyone is busy with farming and can't take care of it. If everyone can take a break in a few days, you may not be able to dig up what you want."
Gu Qingqing spoke matter-of-factly, and then seeing them looking at each other in bewilderment, she belatedly said "Oh", thinking that it was inconvenient for them to ask the village chief, so she said, "Wait until the evening when the village chief comes back from the fields, and I'll ask for you."
How could Zhao Dong and his men let her ask? They laughed and said, "It's not like we don't know the village chief. I'll go ask him at the party. But you deal with the ones in the front yard first, and we'll deal with the rest later."
Gu Qingqing didn't have time to talk to them at this moment. After saying "OK", she hurried into the ear room.
......
"How long will it take your mother to prepare the medicine?" Amber, who came to get the medicine in the front yard, asked Dahua anxiously.
Dahua and Sanhua half-blocked the hanging flower door leading to the inner courtyard. They didn't say anything, but their body actions were telling her that you can't go in.
Seeing the other party asking questions, Dahua said calmly, "Mom didn't say. But mom went to the mountains to dig herbs early in the morning, and when she came back, she was busy making medicine for you. She didn't even have time to eat lunch."
"I won't go in either. Can you go and ask for me when the medicine will be ready?"
Dahua was not infected by Amber's anxious mood. The little man was obviously mature beyond his age. He frowned slightly and said, "What if I disturb my mother and the medicine is not made?"
Amber's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. No, it's not that serious, right?
But he didn't dare let the girl in front of him take this risk again. If it really happened as she said, wouldn't his own lady be the one who would suffer in the end?
Amber stopped urging her, but she was still moving back and forth in the yard like an ant on hot pot.
Dahua was not affected by her at all. She continued to hug Sanhua and repeated the same words to entice her to learn the pronunciation of "Daddy, Mom, Daddy, Mom" with her.
