    ?

    Because the floor in the house is made of yellow mud, it would grind to a crawl when there was a little water, but Zhang Hongmei still insisted on steaming the vegetables. A total of 18 steamed buns were steamed, which was just right for a family of nine.

    Zhang Hongmei put the vegetable dumplings into a small pot and put two small pots into a cage, covered them with plastic, and then went out with an umbrella and rain boots.

    Liu Maocai's house went first.  "Third Mother, I am Hongmei."

    After waiting for a while, Li Cuihua came out to open the door.  "When did you come back, Hongmei? What are you doing out in this heavy rain?" While talking, she dragged Zhang Hongmei and ran into the house.

    "Third Mother, I came back yesterday and didn't get caught in the rain. Where's my Third Master? Where's Shitou Sanya?"

    "Sister Hongmei, we are in the house. It's too boring, so we can't go out."

    Zhang Hongmei picked up the door curtain and entered the house, "I've brought you some vegetables, eat them while they're hot."

    "Great, my mother didn't cook, and she hasn't eaten a single bite since last night."

    Zhang Hongmei brought out the vegetables and put them on the kang table.

    "Third Mother, I won't stay any longer. I have to send it to my grandma. You don't have to go out and insert the door. I'll just close the door."

    "Zhong, you go. Keep an eye on the road and don't stumble."

    Zhang Hongmei went to the old lady's house again, just in time for the old lady to eat.

    "Tai Nai, you can try my vegetable buns. Stuffed with shredded radish."

    "Hehe, you can't go to school if it's raining, right?"

    "Yes, there is no way to ask for leave. I hope the teacher will not worry about me."

    "Hehe, why don't you let your uncle take you back?"

    "Walking? Let's go, I'll wait until I have a car before going back. I don't want to walk in the rain for a day."

    "Do you still have pimple soup?" Liu Changhe's daughter-in-law came in and asked Zhang Hongmei.

    "Big grandma, I don't want to eat it. I've eaten it. Big grandma, please try my steamed vegetables. My uncle, uncle and aunt all come over to taste it."

    "Hehe, your uncle came back and said that your cooking is delicious. I tasted fish balls last time, and I also think our Hongmei is really skillful."

    "Too grandma, grandma, I'm home. Although I can't go to school, I have to read at home."

    "Hongmei, is there no leak in your house?" Liu Changhe came in with wet hair.

    "Master, the house is fine, what are you doing?"

    "Hey, don't talk about it. The roof of your fourth master's house next door is leaking. Didn't you go to help? This family is so lazy. They don't usually check it. It's raining. I guess their roof is the only one in the village that is leaking."  .¡±

    "Master, I'm going back, you should hurry into the house."

    Zhang Hongmei returned home and entered the space again.  Lying lazily on the sofa.  While reading novels, while eating snacks, leisurely.

    Don't do anything bothersome, just look at Xiaobaiwen.

    Eat when you are hungry, drink when you are thirsty, and sleep when you are tired.

    The life of this kind of rice bug is the most suitable for me.

    Wait until Zhang Hongmei feels bored before coming out.  The rain outside had stopped and it was dawn.

    Zhang Hongmei put on her rain boots, went out of the house and went to Zhang Xingguo's yard to check it. After finding that there was no problem, she went to the canteen in the village.

    The cafeteria is cooking at this point.  Everyone had a smile on their face.  The rain really fell through.

    Zhang Hongmei strolled to the river again, and all the rainwater from the mountain flowed into the river.

    Liu Maocai and Wang Hongxi were inspecting the field. The sweet potatoes were fine, but the millet had fallen. This was a laborious job. We had to order stakes today and tie them up with ropes later, otherwise there would be no food production.

    The two also saw Zhang Hongmei, "Hongmei, hurry back, it's time to eat later."

    "Well, I just came from the cafeteria, village uncle, is the sorghum okay?"

    "The sorghum stalks are short, and there aren't many stalks. Someone still needs to come over and take a look at the ridge."

    "It's raining thoroughly, Hong Xi, we have to arrange for people to quickly take the radish and cabbage in the private plot and the ground. Even if it doesn't grow, it can be a vegetable."

    "In the middle, I will lead people to help the crops, and you will lead people to grow vegetables. Now the private plots are also collective, so we plant them together."

    "I won, I will prepare the seeds first, and you will arrange the work while eating later. Hongmei, you should go to school today, and it should be open to traffic."

    "I'd better stay at home for two days and do some work with everyone. If I don't get to the village and there is no traffic, I have to walk back."

    Liu Maocai frowned and pondered.After a while, "Come on. Then you grow vegetables with me."

    Everyone in the cafeteria at breakfast is smiling, not less than the smiles of eating meat.

    Wang Hongxi assigned work. In fact, this was originally Liu Maocai's business, but he has not come here yet, and he is probably still preparing seeds.

    Today's breakfast is really good, big pancakes with three noodles, tomato and cucumber soup.

    After dinner, everyone went home to get the farm tools, and a busy day began.

    Liu Maocai squatted on the ground and worried.

    "What's wrong, Maocai?"

    "Third Aunt, the land is too dense, we can't plant it today."

    "It's no use worrying, just wait."

    "Maocai, let's plant the private land on the hillside first, let's start over there."

    In this way, dozens of people in the village went to the hillside.

    Today's sun is full, everyone is impatient, and wants to take advantage of the rain to plant all the vegetables, fearing that there will be another drought.

    Cabbage, radish, mustard greens, shallots, and dozens of acres of hillside land were planted with vegetables throughout the day.

    Those who help the crops in the field are done in one day, and they all praise the sorghum planting.  The straw is short and the sorghum ears are big, so it is more drought-resistant than ordinary sorghum, and it will not fall after it rains.

    And the stalks all turned green.  Zhang Hongmei thought it was your psychological effect?  How can it be so fast?

    The next day, the whole village, old and young, mobilized to plant all the corners and corners as long as they could be grown, and all of them were planted as vegetables. If there were not enough vegetables, each family would gather together.

    "Village uncle, do you think we can grow spinach and sell it in the city?"

    "Don't know about this? Let's plant it. The three acres of land here are all grown with spinach. Even if we don't sell it at that time, we can eat it ourselves."

    Zhang Hongmei's words reminded Wang Hongxi that she didn't go home after work, so she called Liu Maocai and went to the old lady's house together.

    Wang Hongxi talked about the matter and the old lady pondered for a while, "Well, that's it, when the time comes, you can sell all kinds of cabbage and so on, first tell the non-staple food supply station, if they don't want it, let's go to the market by ourselves  It is sold here. It has been a drought for three consecutive years, and some green vegetables are fresh.

    However, this matter still cannot be leaked out first, let's do it by ourselves in a muffled voice.  "

    Everyone didn't know that this dish was going to be sold in the future, it was just pure fear, as long as it was eating, there was no need to be afraid of too much, so there was no need to mobilize, everyone rushed to do it, and no one complained of being tired.

    Zhang Hongmei stayed in Liujiatun for four days before returning to the city. In fact, she didn't want to leave, but she couldn't go back!  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
