After taking a nap that afternoon, Xiaoxi played with his younger brother at the yard. It was mainly Chen Yubin who was playing. Xiaoxi watched and just occasionally hit him. Grandma Chen went back to the kitchen and found a Taobao. Seeing the two siblings playing not far away, she waved to them, "Xixi, Binbin, come here, go with her mother-in-law to pick cowpeas and green beans in the garden."

The siblings patted the mud on their hands and walked towards their mother-in-law.

The vegetables in the vegetable garden are now when they can bear fruit, and the falling branches are heavy.

My mother-in-law looked at the cowpeas and green beans in the garden. They became much more mature, so she asked Xiaoxi and her brother to pick the place where they could get. She picked it.

"Mother-in-law, can this be picked?" "Can this be picked?" "This is the case." "Is this be OK?" The inquiry sounds of the stream and my younger brother from time to time in the garden.

The cowpeas and green beans on the vines have been picked except for the fingers. The beans are growing very fast now, and after two or three days, they can pick another crop.

Grandma Chen picked up more than a dozen half-old cucumbers that were beginning to turn slightly yellow on the cucumber rack, picked a few old ones on the eggplant seedlings, and picked the red ones on the tomato rack.

After leaving the vegetable garden, my mother-in-law poured the vegetables from the pavilion on a large table (the big table is a must-have for every household in the stream. It is a square square table that is 1.2 meters high and 1.3 meters wide, and four large long benches that are 1.4 meters long and 50 centimeters high. Rural weddings usually buy vegetables at home, and then ask the chef to come back to do it. At this time, the owner will borrow a large long bench from door to door, and return it after the work is done. Now the big table is against the wall, so only three long benches are placed around it.

The big table is too high for Xiaoxi and her younger brother. Xiaoxi can barely reach the table while sitting on the big bench, so Chen Yubin can only sit on the table.

Choosing vegetables is a simple matter for the two children.

A large dish of rice cakes will select cucumbers, eggplant and tomatoes, then put two large baskets on the table and put them in.

"Xiaoxi, Binbin, you can choose this kind of very tender one and take it to the jar later." The mother-in-law said, and raised the tender cowpeas and tender green beans in her hand. After that, she went back to the kitchen to get a basket to store it specifically.

The meaning of soaking a jar is to pickle. In addition to pickle, pickle is also a must-have side dish for every household. When there is no vegetables to serve, it is delicious to eat when you have no food.

Selecting beans means removing the silk, removing the insect eyes, and peeling the particularly old ones to keep the seeds. The bean seeds are delicious after being cooked, and they are glutinous and glutinous.

After selecting the beans, my mother-in-law looked at the green beans full of cowpeas and half a basket of green beans. There were too many.

Then I chose it again, and selected the tender beans, and prepared them to blanch them in water and dry them, and make dried beans, so that they can be eaten when there is a shortage of vegetables in winter.

There was no idea about the remaining beans, so they put them on the kitchen chopping board. They were thinking that if they really didn't work, they would all dry them into dried beans, although they were a little old.

Now the seedlings have been planted for about twenty days, and nothing has happened. Grandpa has eaten breakfast every day to take the cow out and put it out. He brought the cow back when it was almost noon. After lunch, he took a nap. He took the cow out after lunch and took the cow out again when it became cold in the afternoon. He didn't come back until the evening. When he came back, he had to carry a carved fresh weed. This is the cow's supper.

Xiaoxi's family is an old buffalo in his teens. He is a male, with a thick body, sparse hair, gray-black, thick horns and flat, and curved backwards. His skin is thick, his legs are short and his hooves are large, about 500 kilograms.

Because he is an old buffalo, he has a very docile personality. He does all the tiring work of plowing and raking the ground. Therefore, after the busy farming season, as long as it does not rain, my grandfather goes to herd cattle every day, and when he comes back in the evening, he also has to cut his back (curry) fresh cow grass for it.

After going to the pond to feed the water and lock the cow back to the cow pen, my grandfather went back to the kitchen to wash his hands. When he saw two beans on the chopping board, he looked at his mother-in-law who was cooking the pot in front of the stove and asked in wonder: "Why have you picked so many?"

"I went to the garden to see it today. The cowpeas and green beans are full, so I said I'll finish picking them. In two days, there is a way to eat the garden again. There are so many, I'm thinking about what to do. If it really doesn't work, just dry them all."

Grandpa thought about it and remembered the flour he had just made two days ago, and suggested: "Didn't we just made flour? We might as well cut steamed buns so that we can taste the new wheat this year."

My mother-in-law thought about it and nodded in agreement.

The next day, after getting up in the morning and having dinner, my mother-in-law gave Xiaoxi two dollars and asked Xiaoxi and her brother to buy a bag of baking powder. She also ordered: "When you were at your second aunt's house, if she was at the front of the house, let's ask her to come up and we steam buns."

Originally, there was yeast I made at home, but my mother-in-law thought that the steamed buns steamed with her own yeast were not soft with the steamed buns I bought. Moreover, this is the new flour this year, so of course I had to have a good meal, so I gave Xiaoxi money to ask her to buy baking powder.

Xiaoxi, holding the two dollars he had just bought, set off with his younger brother.

When they went down the road, they didn't walk on the main road. They took the small road, which saved time, and they had to pass the small road from their second aunt's house.

From afar, Xiaoxi saw the second aunt squatting in front of his house pulling weeds in the cornfield. He pulled Chen Yubin and called "Second Aunt". Chen Yubin heard his sister shouting, and then shouted.

When they passed by, the second aunt had already come out of the cornfield and went back to the house to grab a handful of melon seeds and stuff them into their pockets.

The second aunt Chen Cui greeted the two children with a smile and asked curiously: "Xiaoxi, what are you doing?"

"Second aunt, my mother-in-law asked us to buy baking powder."

Then Chen Yubin rushes to add: "Second aunt, my mother-in-law said that I will steam buns today and ask you to go up."

Chen Cui thought about the work at home, shook her head, and refused, "You go back and tell your mother-in-law that the second aunt will not go up, there is still a lot of work at home."

Chen Yubin was a little confused. He steamed buns at home, and it was so rare that his second aunt didn't go to such a rare thing.

Xiaoxi really understands that Uncle Zhao (the husband of the second aunt) works outside. He has so much land at home. He raises two pigs and dozens of chickens. He also has two sons who are 5 or 6 years old who are studying in the village. The house is built here. He is a unique family and no one can help him. The second aunt has enough work to work every day.

He nodded and said, "Well, second aunt, I know, I will tell my mother-in-law when I go back."

Chen Cui remembered that there was no salt at home, so she said to Xiaoxi: "Xiaoxi, when you go shopping, you can bring me two packs of salt back. I'll go get the money later."

Chen Cui first gave Xiaoxi two dollars in his hand and said, "This is the money for two packets of salt." He also gave her another dollar in his hand, "This is the money. You and your brother are 50 cents each, go buy candy, ah."

Xiaoxi took the money, smiled and nodded and said briskly: "Well, second aunt, then we're leaving."

Chen Cui looked at her wealth-loving look with a funny look and nodded, "Go, be careful on the way."

Among the three aunts, Xiaoxi and her second aunt have the best relationship. First, they live close to each other and often come and go; second, they are similar in temperament and they are both delicious when they are together.

I remember my previous life, during the summer vacation of my sophomore year, because my mother-in-law was in poor health, Chen's father also went home.

It is very hot in summer and I am bored at home. My father often rides an electric bike to the team to play mahjong. In the morning, he takes the stream to Ergu's house. When he comes back in the evening, he passes by Ergu's house and takes the stream back. Sometimes, he doesn't want to go back at night, so he sleeps at Ergu's house. At that time, he jokes, and goes to Ergu's house for free and drinks. When the second aunt hears, he smiles and says, "That's it." Then he pretends to be angry and says, "Come on again, I'll drive you two out."

After not seeing the house, Xiaoxi took out the money he had just obtained and discussed with Chen Yubin, "Binbin, let's spend the 50 cents given by his mother-in-law, and save the second aunt's gift. OK?"

My mother-in-law gave her two pieces, and only bought yeast powder was one piece five.

Chen Yubin thought about the spicy strips and lollipops sold in the store, swallowed, and refused, "I want to eat spicy strips, fruit candy and lollipops."

Xiaoxi said again: "Then we can buy two lollipops, one of you and one of them, and then buy three different spicy strips and eat them separately."

"But why don't I spend the money given by my second aunt? I want to buy a lot of lollipops."

"We're saving, when you want to eat, we'll buy it. So you'll have money to buy candy next time, don't spend it all at once." Xiaoxi saw what his brother wanted to say, so he made a tough move, "If you really want to use it all at once, it's OK, you'll have to spend it once. My money will be saved. Next time I'll eat it alone, you'll be watching."

Chen Yubin puffed his cheeks and finally nodded, "Okay!"

Taking advantage of this momentum, Xiaoxi continued to work hard, "Put the money to me and keep it."

That's all right. Chen Yubin jumped up in an anxious manner and shook his hand, "No, no, I'll keep mine myself."

"You keep it, what if it drops?"

"No, it won't fall."

"But if it's gone, you have to watch me eat."

Chen Yubin glared, "What if you spend my money?"

Xiaoxi was a little funny, "Why do I spend your money? I have money too. Besides, we stay together every day, and you won't know if I go to buy candy?"

Chen Yubin thought about it, it took a lot of time to go from home to the place where he bought things.

The two children are still young, and it will probably take half an hour to pass once and after.

Chen Yubin asked hesitantly: "You really won't spend my money?"

The stream sincerely said: "Really."

Chen Yubin was still a little worried and stretched out his little finger on his right hand, "Let's hook it."

He stretched out his finger helplessly, "I will hang myself for a hundred years and will not change. Whoever changes will be a little yellow dog."

After retracting his hand, he took Xiaoxi's hand and urged: "Sister, go quickly."

Xiaoxi pretended to take it out in her pocket, and then said to Chen Yubin: "Then, give it to you."

Looking at the cherry in my sister's hand, I remembered that this one was gone a long time ago, why did my sister still have it here?

"Sister, didn't the cherries disappear long ago? Where did you come from?"

The stream pretended to be mysterious and said, "I hid it in the well behind it, it's ice."

Behind Xiaoxi's house is a bamboo forest, and there is a well in the bamboo forest, which is useless now.

"Oh." Chen Yubin took it happily, "Sister, how many more are there?"

"There are so many more, it's iced. When you want to eat, just tell my sister, I'll get it for you."
