Chapter 149 Drying Long Beans
"Oh my god, does it hurt? Get up and shake off the mud on your body." Laizi's mother pulled her eldest son up from the ground, then came to her senses and scolded her youngest son, "Dahai, what's wrong with you? Why did you hit your eldest brother? Didn't you see that your eldest brother brought the rabbit back to nourish Narcissus' body?"
"He knows what he has done!" Wang Dahai glared at Wang Laizi with red eyes, then turned around and went back to the yard.
When Old Mrs. Zhou and Old Mrs. Yang saw that they had nothing to do, they quickly pulled each other back home. They didn't know what Wang Dahai ate to grow up, but he was so tall and strong. They saw with their own eyes that Wang Laizi was beaten and flew away in front of them.
If this punch landed on them, they would really be sent to see the Queen Mother on the spot.
"I say, Shouren's mother, Narcissus's miscarriage is probably not a simple matter! It's probably Wang Laizi's fault." Old Mrs. Yang made a bold guess.
"That's not the case. Otherwise, how could the sea be so angry?" Old Mrs. Zhou had another reason to hate Wang Laizi.
Old Mrs. Zhou and Old Mrs. Yang returned home, but Wang Laizi's family was in turmoil.
Although Wang Laizi is usually lazy and not doing his job, he has been a little afraid of his younger brother since he was a child.
It's not because of anything else, but mainly because this younger brother has been tall and strong since he was a child, and he is very opinionated. He can't beat him and he won't submit to him. However, he can not only help him take care of his parents, but also give him money to spend. With this younger brother around, he doesn't have to do anything.
Because of this, ever since he got married, he wanted to be superior to him in some ways, so he took his wife while he was not at home. Of course, he had his own selfish motives in this, because his wife was so beautiful. It was really secretive, exciting and satisfying.
But after this incident, he felt a little regretful, as if many things were gone forever.
Wang Laizi touched his chest and felt empty inside.
His mother was rolling on the ground, cursing Dahai for being a beast and beating even her own brother to death.
"Mom, please get up and stop talking."
"Why can't you let me say it? He's a coward who even beats his own brother. Yes, a coward. If I had known he was such a thing, I shouldn't have given birth to him..."
Laizi's mother was still cursing, while Wang Dahai went to the kitchen door to continue processing the old hen.
No matter how much his mother scolded him, he would not say anything back.
After stewing the chicken in the pot, Wang Dahai sat at the door of the stove and stared motionlessly at the wood ash in front of him.
He looked like he was in a trance, and I had no idea what he was thinking.
Wang Dahe was used to being a jerk, and this time he knew he had caused trouble, so he took the initiative to go to the mountain to catch rabbits.
Peel off the skins of the two rabbits and put the rabbit meat in a vegetable bowl.
"I put the rabbit here. You can stew it when you have time."
He washed his hands and went out despite his mother's dissuasion.
"It's all your fault. Your brother finally came home, but he passed away before he could even drink a sip of water..."
His mother spoke angry words and didn't even look at him.
Wang Dahai sighed, opened the lid of the pot and poked the chicken to see if it was soft.
The Zhou family was busy this morning.
Two large pots were boiled together, and the boiling water was filled with long beans.
The bamboo poles for drying have also been wiped clean, and we are just waiting for the beans to be cooked soft before drying them.
The freshly cooked beans were very hot and were steaming in the basin.
Zhou Mingshu and Zhou Mingqi carried the large basin to the bamboo rack and placed the fruits neatly one by one.
This makes it easier to put away when drying.
"Even though we dried a lot, after everything dried there was only a small handful left. The shrinkage was really severe."
Zhou Mingqi blew on his burned fingers with an embarrassed tone.
"It's much better than the day lily. We only have a few dried day lilies and purslane~"
After Zhou Mingshu said this, Zhou Mingqi remembered, "That's right, this little bit is not enough to fill the gaps between our teeth. Let's go up the mountain again in the afternoon and pick more. Now is the season for eating day lilies. The ones in my house have already bloomed and are so fragrant~"
"Haha, sure, let's go when the sun isn't so hot."
"it is good."
After the two sisters finished drying one pot of beans, they had another pot left. Several bamboo racks were hung with long green beans.
From a distance, they looked like rows of small snakes...
Zhou Mingyuan and Zhou Minghua were very happy to have four new rabbits in their home.
Adults don’t need to worry about the chicken grass and rabbit grass that need to be prepared.
Whenever they had free time, they would take their shovel and basket to the wasteland to cut grass. They were so well behaved and obedient.
Seeing Old Lady Zhou coming back, the three Liu sisters-in-law asked about Wang Laizi's family affairs.
Old Mrs. Zhou recounted everything she had seen and heard today, causing everyone in the kitchen to sigh.
You see, this is the consequence of family unrest.
Not only did I lose my child, but life was so hard that I couldn't even have a cup of hot tea.
Fortunately, Dahai has a conscience, otherwise, Huang Shuixian would really jump into the fire pit and not be able to climb out.
Zhou Mingshu and Zhou Mingqi told their parents that they were going to the mountain to pick day lilies, and after getting their parents' permission, they returned to the house to cool off.
They will wait until the afternoon when the weather is not so hot.
Zhou Mingqi asked Zhou Mingshu to help her pull the rope. Xiaojie polished the stone, and she took the time to weave it.
Zhou Mingshu watched the thin rope winding around in her hands. She was about to fall asleep and couldn't help but yawn.
"What? Are you sleepy?"
"No, I just can't understand what you wrote. I stared at it for too long and couldn't help but yawn."
"Hahaha, you are just like my elder sister. I can't understand her embroidery, and she can't understand me knitting."
Zhou Mingqi is particularly energetic when weaving things. The more he weaves, the more excited he becomes. The weaving thread in his hands is smooth and strong, and the webs he makes are very beautiful.
The lunch consisted of nothing but loofah and eggplant.
However, loofah is a new vegetable after all, and everyone is not tired of eating it yet.
The food was carefully cooked and tasted delicious. Everyone ate until they were sweating and felt very satisfied.
After dinner, Zhou Laoda and his two brothers did not stop, but got on the donkey cart and went to their uncle’s house to help.
The wheat at home has been pressed for a whole morning. The dried grains have fallen off, and the remaining ones need to be turned over to dry in the sun before being pressed again.
These tasks were left to the family members to do slowly as they had to continue with the busy farming season.
After Zhou Mingyuan and Zhou Minghua finished cutting the grass, they were assigned to pick up wheat ears on the road.
Other families were not allowed to pick up wheat ears from their own fields, but it was different for those on the road. Children from Lianglin Village could pick them up as they pleased.
Not only them, but even Zhou Mingyuan's usual playmates Jianjian and Kangkang were picking up trash on the roadside with small baskets.
"Sandan, you and your sister, and me and my brother, how about we two teams compete to see who picks up the most?"
Jianjian, the little fat boy, made the suggestion arrogantly. In his opinion, the team he and his brother formed would definitely win.
"Okay, then what should we use as the prize?" Zhou Mingyuan is not stupid. Competition is competition, but there must be a prize.
