Pastoral Song [Farming]

Chapter 12: Going Home Together · Unknowingly Leaking a Secret

When I came out of the village head's house, the sun was already westward, and the sunset glow in the sky was blooming wantonly, and the peripheral light was scattered into a beautiful scene; what a beautiful picture of the mountains and rivers, the leisurely time is the heart.

After a hard day’s work, the peasants pick up their hoes and go home together, followed by the old scalpers who are tirelessly flicking their tails and mooing, and a group of laughing and joking around the ridge of the field. The arrogant son and dumb girl.

A peaceful, quiet time.

This kind of leisurely self-satisfaction has long been absent in the Taohuayuan in the previous life.

There, three-year-old children will start preschool, and there are various "good for you" interest groups: painting, piano, violin, all kinds of things, as if multiple specialties can lead to multiple successes.

A few years ago, some kind of taekwondo and judo were developed. Seeing the tender arms and legs falling on the field, I don't know if the parents feel distressed or pity.Little children are as busy as their parents.

Makino has a little cousin who is full of ADHD. Even though sitting on a chair for 10 minutes can kill him honestly, he still participates in the three specialty classes of table tennis, calligraphy, and electronic organ.

One summer vacation, Makino went back to China to visit his uncle, and when he opened the door to greet him, there were actually two little yellow chickens and a big drake.You must know that most people living in unit buildings raise dogs and cat girls.They are not allowed to grow in such a big yard of his house, for fear of dragging them around.The little uncle's house is different, it doesn't take the usual way!

"Uncle, this is your home...Metersbonwe?"

The little uncle rubbed his nose in embarrassment: "This is what Xiao Jin requested. He joined an interest class and gave him a pet. Not only did he have to choose it himself, but he was also not allowed to lock it up. It is said that it restricts the freedom of animals and is difficult to deal with." very."

"It was only changed this year. Last year, when he learned martial arts and flute, his master asked him to squat on a horse. When he came back, he raised a lot of turtles, saying what he wanted to become... Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? He also bought two thrushes, full of them." I couldn't bear the house flying around, so I sent it to the countryside for your grandfather."

Makino almost rolled off the sofa happily: "Then don't let him learn it, how painful it is."

"Your aunt said that this is called casting nets everywhere to focus on fishing. They lost at the starting line, so they had to rush to copy the trail halfway, and one step counted. Look at your aunt's daughter, who knows how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? They are among the best and participate in English training camps every week, so we can’t send too many people away.”

Children in cities don't even know some basic crops.When Makino just transferred from his hometown elementary school to the city for junior high school, the little girl at the next table greeted him warmly: "Muye, did you really grow up in the countryside?"

"I've been living in the countryside since I was a kid."

"Then let me ask you, do potatoes grow on trees? Did pigs grow up eating pork?"

Makino Sanguan was instantly smashed to pieces: "Pigs eat meat, what do you eat?"

Originally, the little girl saw that he was pretty and wanted to play with him, but Makino felt that the girl was not smart enough and was an idiot, so she could hide as far away as possible from now on.

When she grew up, the classmate reunion told this interesting story, and the girl still felt that she was very wronged, and she had never seen it before.Of course, after all these years, Makino still felt that the girl's brain circuit was too novel, fortunately he had the foresight to stay away from her!

Makino enjoyed this rare moment of tranquility, humming softly, never thinking of hiding himself from Jiang Ye from the very beginning.

If you have to think about whether it is possible or not before doing anything, it is too painful!He doesn't think that a person's living habits and behavior style can be concealed without flaws.He also thinks that he can't be vigilant all the time, can't never reveal his true self, and he doesn't want to take over Tian Yu's role.

Muye believes that Jiang Ye is not a pedantic person.He revealed to Jiang Ye little by little that he was unusual, and carefully tried to touch him, hoping to be accepted.He also wanted someone to talk to and even listen to, not entertain himself forever.

So these innocuous little hobbies, Makino, never shy away from it, and don't intend to wrong him.

Jiang Ye is not a fool, Makino suddenly became confident and assertive, which can be regarded as a catastrophe, a sudden change of temperament.But how did he know about those unheard songs?Even the level and method of cooking are not what ordinary farmers should have.

But he didn't intend to ask, everyone has their own secrets, why not himself?Makino didn't have any malice towards him, on the contrary, he even had some other thoughts towards him.He is a normal adult, not a teenager who has no feelings.

Jiang Ye felt that there was no need to be serious enough to expose other people's scars.If Makino wants to talk, he is willing to listen to it. If Makino doesn't want to talk, he will not break the casserole and ask the end.Leave some space and the bottom line for the other party, isn't this a kind of kindness?

"Brother Jiang, what do you want to eat tonight?"

"Anything is fine." After finishing speaking, he remembered something and added, "Let's make bone soup, Tong Langzhong said that you need to make up for it."

"Okay, then let's eat pork bone noodles. I saw it yesterday, and there are two new cucumbers that can be used as side dishes."

"it is good."

"Brother Jiang, thank you today."

Even though he encountered such a lot of bad things from Lao Tian's family when he first came here, those hardships were all experienced by Tian Yu in his previous life, and he himself did not suffer any substantial harm.

He was very lucky, and he was very grateful to Jiang Ye for taking him in. Otherwise, he was afraid that he would end up living on the streets. How could he talk about cutting off ties with Lao Tian's family and living a stable life, and even seeking justice for Tian Yu?

Accompanied by many people, they talked all the way, and arrived home before they knew it.

After washing his hands, Makino plunged into the kitchen, with Jiang Ye helping him light the fire.

Boil the big bones for half a cup of tea, skim off the foam, and rinse.Reboil the water, slice the ginger, smash the garlic, tie the green onions into knots and cook for a few minutes, then put the bones in, bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer slowly over low heat.

In fact, it is best to have a small gauze bag to pack the ingredients together, so that it will not be afraid of floating into the soup after being boiled. Now I can't find a clean gauze, so I have to give up.

After finishing these, Makino took out the basin and scooped two bowls of white noodles bought at noon, filled another bowl of rough noodles, added salt, kneaded into smooth balls that were soft enough to make holes easily with fingers, evenly spread a little oil on the surface and put it aside awake.

He rushed to the backyard and picked off the two small cucumbers, pulled out two tender shallots, and grabbed two ripe tomatoes.He went back to the kitchen and handed one to Jiang Ye, and he took the other and began to chew.

Makino is a person who especially loves to eat tomatoes, sour, hard, soft, big and small.Especially love to drink tomato juice, of course not the kind with preservatives sold in supermarkets.It must be fresh tomatoes, peeled off the stalks and then cut into small pieces. Add two large tomatoes with a spoonful of sugar and beat them in a food processor until finely chopped.

Throughout the year, the tomato juice before the end of summer and mid-autumn is the most delicious. For three meals in the morning, afternoon and evening, you must have a glass with each meal.If you are lucky enough to buy soft, juicy tomatoes, Makino will even drink them as water.

For his little hobby, grandpa planted a row of tomato vines in the backyard every summer. Whenever he saw baskets of tomatoes moved to the shepherd's house, and heard the "buzzing" sound of the juicer for three meals, the neighbors would call I know that blue-eyed boy from the old shepherd's family is back!

Wash the cucumbers, crush them, cut them into small pieces, and arrange them neatly on a plate.The garlic is crushed and minced. In fact, it is best to use a wooden pestle to crush the garlic juice, but now there is no wooden pestle, so I can only make do with it.The red pepper is also chopped, salt, a little sugar, vinegar, and a little hot oil are poured on the minced garlic and pepper, and the aroma instantly permeates the whole kitchen.

At this time, he was almost awake.Roll out the dough into a one-centimeter-thick piece, cut it into pencil-wide strips, knead it evenly with the palm of your hand on the chopping board, pinch both sides and shake it up and down and gently pull it. A thin and long noodle will be ready. In a pot of boiling water, wait for the noodles to float to the surface, then remove to a bowl.

Pull off the tender green leaves of the cabbage, quickly scald them in the noodle soup and place them in a bowl, pour two spoonfuls of bone broth on top, sprinkle some green onion and salt, and a large bowl of hand-pulled noodles is complete.

The bone broth was boiled for a short time, and it has not yet turned milky white, but the noodles are just right.It would be even more perfect if there were thumb flowers unique to his hometown, Makino thought, feeling a little regretful.

Holding the tomato that Makino gave him, Jiang Ye didn't know what to do for a while.

When he was very young, he was in poor health and often fell ill. Once he was so greedy that he secretly ate a watermelon that had just been frozen from the well, but he had diarrhea and collapsed. Since then, his mother never allowed him to He eats anything cold.When he entered the barracks, the food was fixed at a fixed time. He was still a soldier at the gate at that time, so he could only eat big pot meals with everyone.Later, when the conditions are good, but pay attention to the rules and etiquette.

Seeing Makino and a little mouse holding a fist-sized tomato with great joy, Jiang Ye also opened his mouth and took a bite out of nowhere.Sour and cool, looking at the busy Makino like this, Jiang Ye ate a tomato slowly and a little bit shyly in front of the stove for the first time in his life, and he was still very embarrassed.

"Brother Jiang, all right, let's go eat." Makino's cheerful voice interrupted Jiang Ye's memory.

"okay."

There was no accident, Jiang Ye had eaten enough of this meal again, looking at his round belly: he needs to do more sets of punches tomorrow morning, otherwise, if this continues, he will probably become as fat as a big cow.

An Daniu, who was staring at his father at home, sneezed inexplicably, and his father immediately picked up the words: "Look, I told you to put on your clothes before you come out, but you didn't listen. Are you catching a cold? You and I are going to fight, you will be at a disadvantage if you don’t listen to the old man’s words, hum, go back to the house and get dressed, what are you doing sitting around?”

It turned out that these two people came out shirtless after taking a bath for An Daniu, and the theory was in full swing.

Thanks to his respected elder brother, An Daniu went back to the house with a disheveled face, full of displeasure, and muttered: "It's obviously not cold, maybe some brat is talking bad about me behind my back, hmph."

The author has something to say: Author: Da Niu, ahem, that brat is your big brother!

Daniel: Too frightened.....

(The author is stuck today, and I am not satisfied with the revision many times. It is really scary to have no inspiration.) Crying...
