Chapter 391 Another Troubled
When we arrived at the field, Village Chief Gu and his colleagues were already there.
Xu Yuan still pushed the cart into the field, which was already completely dry, and took the sacks off the cart.
"Here you are, Yuan girl." Grandpa Wang waved to Xu Yuan, then looked at the unfamiliar figures of an old man and three children behind him and asked, "Who are these?" They were strangers to Grandpa Wang, but to Liu Yue, they were familiar faces. She greeted them happily and then introduced them to Grandpa Wang, "Grandpa Wang, this is the family I met when I first lived in Zhuhou Village."
Ye Qiuer and Ye Donger also recognized Uncle Wang. It was this kind-hearted uncle who found the little boy Tianle.
Xu Yuan gave a brief introduction to everyone, and then started to work. There were no extra sickles, so Ye A Nai, Ye Qiu'er, and Ye Man'er picked up the sickles of Huo Duo, Guo Zi, and Liu Yuelai, and asked them to move the cut rice in the corners closer to the middle.
Originally, Xu Yuan had no plan to let Grandma Ye and the others go to the fields. He wanted to let Xuanzi stay at home to accompany them and take them for a walk around the village. However, Grandma Ye didn't want to do that and couldn't sit still. Since they were already here, they might as well help out. Xu Yuan didn't want them to run around and get tired, so he suggested that they stay here for one night and leave tomorrow morning.
When Ye Qiuer heard this, she realized that this was exactly what she had in mind. Every time she went out, she would bring a change of clothes with her in case it rained. This time was no exception, and it just happened to come in handy.
"That's perfect, Xuyuan. We always prepare spare clothes when we go out. This is convenient for us this time." Ye Qiuer bumped Xuyuan's shoulder and joked.
"There are extra beds for you. You can stay as long as you want." Xuyuan replied.
Grandma Ye smiled and replied, "We would like to, but we can still feed our chickens, ducks and geese at home."
……
With three more helpers, Xu Yuan felt that he would definitely finish the last field in the afternoon before sunset.
There is strength in numbers.
Those who are harvesting rice are harvesting rice, those who are piling rice are piling rice, and those who are threshing rice are threshing rice. Everyone has a clear division of labor and efficiency is high.
Sure enough, before sunset, the full rice fields became bare. I made a wish looking at the two large harvested rice fields, and felt very satisfied.
Wipe off the last drop of sweat, take off the straw hat, and a breeze blows by, sweeping away the tiredness after hard work.
The group of people left in different directions, leaving long shadows on the ground, dragging very long...
After returning home, Xu Yuan and Xu Zhi began to harvest rice without stopping. They put a layer of wicker mat under the rice, which they just had to roll up. The same went for the dried lychees that were drying in the sun.
Xu Yuan ignored the newly pulled rice on the truck and covered the truck with a layer of tarpaulin to prevent it from getting wet when it was foggy at night.
After doing all this, Xuyuan sat down and rested for a while.
"Girl Yuan, let's cook noodles tonight. This is quick and easy. You've been busy all day, so you should eat and clean up and then take a rest." Grandma Ye suggested.
"also."
There was a big pot of boiling bath water. The fire had already been lit when Guozi came back, so there was still some residual heat.
Xuyuan scooped a spoonful and poured it into the small pot next to him, and Guozi consciously lit the fire on the stove.
It was a little dark in the kitchen, and Xuyuan lit the candlestick on the table. The bright candle flame lit up instantly. This was the candle made of beeswax from last time, and there was still some stock left, which saved a lot of lamp oil.
Make a wish and continue to prepare other things.
Grandma Ye sat at the table and played the train game with others to pass the time.
Ye Dong'er had nothing to do, so she sat with Guozi and helped watch the fire.
"Xiaozhi, what are these vegetables? Why do they look similar to sweet potato leaves?" Ye Maner, who was helping to pick vegetables in the corridor, looked at the sweet potato leaves in her hand and asked curiously.
"It's sweet potato leaves, but this is a different variety that doesn't grow sweet potatoes."
"Really? I'll have to taste it later." Ye Maner had eaten sweet potato leaves before. After all, they were tender and tasted good. She just didn't know how they would taste this time.
The two of them quickly picked the vegetables, and Xu Zhi took them into the kitchen to wash them.
The water in the pot was boiling at this time, so Xuyuan put the noodles in and stirred them.
Add a small spoonful of lard, sweet potato leaves, some salt, soy sauce, and marinated lean meat.
At this time, the chopped pepper sauce and pickled dried fish come in handy. You can add them if you want.
In the vegetable garden, Grandma Ye saw many dishes she had never seen before and expressed her doubts. Many people were not stingy and told her everything they knew. Grandma Ye felt that this trip was worthwhile. She had lived for half her life and finally broadened her horizons today.
"Grandma Ye, you can pick some and plant them back. They are easy to grow."
"Okay, okay, I, an old woman, will have to ask your sister for advice." Grandma Ye looked at the vegetable garden and saw that it was well taken care of and there were very few weeds, which showed that the garden was well cared for.
It didn't take much time for the noodles to come out of the oven, with vegetables and meat. After serving the noodles, Xu Yuan also fried a few poached eggs and served them after the skin was golden brown.
Everyone sat down at the table and the large bowl of noodles was quickly divided into everyone's bowl. Perhaps because everyone was hungry, everyone ate very quickly, and many even had one extra bowl.
"Not bad, Xiaoyuan, your cooking skills are better than those at the noodle stalls outside." Grandma Ye praised.
"As long as you like it." Xuyuan replied.
Xu Zhi and Guozi cleaned up the dishes neatly, while Xu Yuan went to the room that had not been occupied for a long time, cleaned the bed, and made the bed with clean bedding.
The sky had already darkened and the whole village fell into silence.
But in a forest thousands of miles away, it was not so peaceful.
"Drive, drive, drive..."
The sound of the carriage galloping was accompanied by the chirping of cicadas, and the ruts of the wheels rolling wildly left deep marks on the ground.
There are dots of green light floating in the woods, they are fireflies flying.
"Oh my god, what the hell are those following us?" Ading couldn't help but curse and swung the whip in his hand hard.
The moonlight shines through the woods, illuminating the path in the woods.
Lin Zhian lifted the curtain and stuck his head out to see clearly what was following him, but unfortunately there was another car behind him with Gu Qinghan and Li Junyong in it.
"It's not a ghost, it's a wolf. A wolf is chasing us." Li Junyong drove the carriage in front and moved forward with Ading.
Gu Qinghan was squatting on the roof of the car at this time, looking at the wild wolf with red eyes behind him. It was the same situation again. The first time he encountered it, he just thought it was an accident, but this was the second time. Could it be such a coincidence?
Some time ago, he also encountered a group of people who were hiding themselves tightly and speeding past. At that time, Gu Qinghan learned his lesson and immediately checked the surroundings, but there were no suspicious traces left.
