Chapter 346 Small Forest
In the small forest, life is not judged by looking at the calendar, but by the growth of geographical crops.
The seedlings in the paddy fields have grown a lot taller. Similarly, the weeds in the rice fields have also increased a lot!It just rained again, and it's still cloudy now.The two sisters put on raincoats, put on rain boots, took tools and rode to the rice fields to prepare for weeding.
After pulling out two rows, Su Li straightened up and lowered her back, complaining: "Sister, pulling weeds is so tiring!"
"Why don't we borrow a weeding machine?" Shizi was also very tired, she stretched her back and made a suggestion.Originally, she was alone in previous years, and she didn't know how long she would live here. She pulled the weeds by herself.But now that my sister is back, it seems that she will continue to live there, and she really needs to buy a weeding machine.Harvesters and seeders are not used. The two of them add up to only one mu of land, so those machines are not needed.
Hearing this, Su Li's eyes lit up, but as an ancestor who was not short of money, she waved her hand very generously: "Can't we just buy one? Don't buy that kind of electric one, just buy a human pusher." Just get that kind! I saw it last time in the agricultural tool shop next to the village office. Let’s go buy it now!”
Shizi originally thought of borrowing it from someone today and buying it tomorrow.But my sister couldn't wait, anyway, weeding a little later would be fine, so she nodded and agreed.
The two sisters rode bicycles to the agricultural tool store, agreed to send the money over the next day, and left the field with the herbicide on their shoulders.
The two took turns pushing the machine, and then picked up the turned grass together.Although there are still a lot of grass hidden among the seedlings that can only be pulled out by hand, it is much easier than pulling them out one by one like just now!
Being a farmer is really hard work!
After a busy day, I finally cleaned up the newly grown grass in the field.Shizi suddenly remembered to drink rice wine, and decided to make some refreshing.Su Li doesn't like to drink, and there is no farm work in the field for the time being.I simply took the children's books I borrowed from Ling last time and rode my bicycle to Ling's house.
The rainy season is almost over, and the weeds in Ling's courtyard are growing more and more lush.When Su Li arrived, Ling was weeding with a straw hat and a machine on his back. He finally decided to do it!
As soon as he saw Su Li, Ling immediately stopped what he was doing, turned off the machine, took off his straw hat and sat down on the corridor, holding the hat and fanning himself non-stop: "It's so hot! If I had known it would be in spring... Get rid of the grass before it's fully grown!"
"Time is very important!" Su Li put the book aside, put her hands on her knees and looked down at Ling, whose face was flushed from hard work: "I went to the field to pull weeds for a day yesterday, and I was very tired. I have to give up. But I can’t, if I don’t pull the weeds yesterday, and I don’t want to pull the weeds today, those tenacious weeds will invade the living space of the rice. I won’t be able to harvest the rice this autumn!”
"Ah..." Ling let out a sigh, and then rejoiced: "Fortunately, I am good at writing, and I can make a lot of money by writing."
Being a farmer is really tiring...
Su Li read the exclamation above from his face, and laughed: "But being a farmer is also very comfortable! Although it depends on the sky, the number of times God loses his temper is infinitely less than the number of times the boss loses his temper coming!"
"But the consequences of God losing his temper once are more terrible than the consequences of his boss losing his temper for a year!" Ling pointed out the facts, and flinched under the little girl's stare: "Sorry..."
"Now I'm a half-farmer too. I'll be angry if you say that. Everyone in the village will worship the God of the Land, so Father Land won't be angry!"
Ling was amused by the childish and innocent words of the little girl, and couldn't help sitting up and rubbing her curly hair, which was completely different from the beautiful curly hair she had just returned to the small forest, and said as if coaxing a child: "Good, good, good!" , The Lord of the Earth is not angry, not angry."
This action is a bit intimate, and the other party is a handsome and handsome guy. Su Li blushed very politely, stood up and walked into the messy courtyard, and said loudly in a disguised way: "I'll look for any leftover vegetables. , I will cook for you at noon!"
After searching for a long time, she found some very thin carrots and some wild garlic. She pointed to the stream flowing through the garden and asked, "Did this stream come from the forest?"
Ling took the poor-looking vegetables handed over by Su Li, got up and walked to the stream to take a look: "Well, there is a very wide stream in the village, so this is called Daxi Village! There are a lot of fish and loaches!"
"Then let's go fishing!" Su Li's eyes lit up!
"Oh, um, good!" Su Li's beautiful eyes flashed for a moment, Ling turned his head uncomfortably and agreed, the two closed the yard door and went down the mountain, and went to the small store in the village to rent two fishing rods and Bucket, walked to a relatively flat place beside the big stream and stopped.
Su Li picked up a dead branch from the bottom of the tree, opened the rotted leaves under the root of the tree, and looked down again, easily finding a few fat earthworms.
Ling showed some resistance: "Can't we buy bait?"
"You're not afraid of this, are you?" Su Li naturally cut off a long earthworm with a branch, put it on the fishing rod, and threw the premonition into the big stream with a neat movement.
As a real man, being suspected of being afraid of earthworms is a very hurtful thing for self-esteem!Ling strode forward and pinched the remaining half of the earthworm with two fingers to prove that he was not afraid of this soft, sticky, vibrating little creature at all!
——Of course, if he can stretch his completely wrinkled facial features, it may be more convincing!
Su Li was teased by the man, she rolled her eyes, and picked up an earthworm from the ground as if to throw it over——
"Ahhh!!! Stay away from me!!!"
"Hahahahahaha!" Su Li opened her hand, and showed the little earthworm in her hand to Ling, who was so frightened that her face turned pale. Laughed: "It's just that I didn't expect you to be really afraid of earthworms hahaha——"
Ling took a step forward, ruffled Su Li's hair fiercely, threw away the fishing rod, locked her in his arms and rubbed her: "Do you still dare?"
Su Li wouldn't be frightened by this lack of deterrence. She struggled to raise her head, met Ling's gaze, and said mischievously, "Do you think I dare?"
The girl who was bullied a little bit had shiny eyes, with a little water, and her face was rosy and cute——
I really want to bully her in another way...
"!!!" Shocked by the thoughts in his mind, Ling froze in place, lowered his gaze, let go of Su Li, picked up the fishing rod beside him, picked up the earthworms and put them on a string, with a faint voice, But a little dry: "I want to go fishing too."
Su Li threw away the earthworm in her hand, squinted her eyes and looked at Ling who was walking by the big stream.Suddenly, she curled her lips and laughed!
Alas, innocent young men and such are the most interesting!
Since you want to hide your feelings, you must remember to cover your red ears in the future!
However, don't overdo it...
For the next hour, the two quietly caught fish, and when they returned, there were already a dozen loaches and two small fish in the bucket.
Ling, who knew nothing about cooking, was kicked out of the house by Su Li, and he was weeding in the summer sun. He looked at Su Li who was busy in the kitchen amidst the roar of the machine, and unconsciously showed a somewhat silly look. smile.
That's great!
He's out weeding, and the little girl is busy in the kitchen, like, like—the newlyweds who just bought a house...
Cut the loach into large pieces and pour wine to remove the fishy smell. Put oil in the pan and fry the loach until cooked.Remove the scales from the fish, add sliced ginger, wine, miso, and make soup with cold water.Cut the wild garlic into sections, boil the carrots into pieces until soft, remove them and mash them into a puree, add a small amount of salt and honey, mix well, then use the leftover pudding box to make a shape and put it upside down on a porcelain plate.Top with a wild garlic leaf torn into a pattern.
The mushroom sauce delivered a few days ago still had a little bit left, and Su Li didn’t bother to cook on a hot day, so she simply cooked a big pot of pasta, stir-fried it with loach and wild garlic, mixed it with fresh and tender mushroom sauce, and it was ready to serve Pot!
One main course, one soup, one dessert.
The expression on Ling's face when he saw the three plates in front of him was dreamy: "It's been a long time since I had such a complete meal!"
"Huh?" Su Li pointed to the bottom of the mushroom sauce: "I think the sauce is almost gone..."
"Because I ate Italian mushroom sauce yesterday and bread with mushroom sauce. The day before yesterday I had mushroom sauce and bread with mushroom sauce. The day before yesterday, the day before yesterday, my menu was like this!"
Su Li: "...Even so, you never thought about cooking?"
"No, I have tried many times!" Ling looked as if he was about to cry: "I have fully mastered cooking noodles. However, I have failed in frying, deep-frying, frying, and baking...Obviously I strictly follow the steps in the recipe Executed, but inexplicably failed in the middle... What can I do?! I am also very desperate!"
This kind of talent, in fact, is quite remarkable...
"I failed even the very simple thick egg roll..." Ling ate a big mouthful of spaghetti angrily, and the expression on his face softened after being captured by the good taste: "But it doesn't matter, it's good if you don't starve to death anyway." !"
Su Li: "...Your requirements are really low..."
Ling scratched his head and smiled shyly, "Where is that..."
"..."
——No, I'm not praising you.
