After lunch, the three of them rested under the tree for a while. Yaya started to feel sleepy after a while, so Fang Nuo put her to sleep under the umbrella. There were insect repellent kits around her, so she wasn't afraid. There are mosquitoes crawling over.
After Yaya fell asleep, the two went back to the fields to continue working.
Throughout the whole day, Fang Nuo only cut a small section of wheat and spent most of the time tying it.
Later, she lifted the wheat to the edge of the field, and Shen Gongqi packed it in a basket and took it to the village committee to dry in the fields.
At a little after three o'clock in the afternoon, the two of them had finished all their work for the day.
After the scorekeeper came to check, one person scored twelve work points for them.
Fang Nuo saw that Yaya hadn't woken up yet, so he didn't rush home. He picked up the fallen wheat ears in the field with the empty basket he had brought.
In the village, most of the children pick these up after their adults. If they pick them up themselves, they all belong to them.
In the past, there were also people who were sneaking around. The person cutting in the front deliberately dropped a lot, and the child behind them picked up a lot in a short time.
After being caught by the scorer and reported to the police, the village stipulated that if no one wanted to pick it up, the children could only be allowed to pick it up after the entire field had been mowed and the scorer had inspected it.
Before the children came, Fang Nuo had picked up a whole field and picked out wheat that had 50 to 50 centimeters in its husk.
Shen Gongqi was watching Yaya over there, and waited for Fang Nuo to pick it up before going over and saying, "Let's put the things away and go home."
"Okay, then you come over and have a rest, and I'll put things away," Shen Gongqi said.
Fang Nuo went to sit under the umbrella for a while. After Shen Gongqi had put everything away and packed it in a backpack, he came over and said, "Hold Yaya for me. You can just take the umbrella and basket."
Fang Nuo put a sunhat on Yaya, picked her up and put her in Shen Gongqi's arms, put away the umbrella, picked it up and carried it, and put the plastic sheet on the ground into a basket before they walked home.
Not long after the two left, several children happily ran into the field they had just cut with baskets in their hands. However, after searching for a few times, they only picked up a few ears of wheat.
Those children were extremely disappointed, and they all decided in their hearts that they would never come here again.
Fang Nuo and the others had just returned home, and Yaya woke up after sleeping all afternoon.
When the little girl woke up, she found that she had gone home, so she pestered Fang Nuo to eat noodles.
"Let mom rest for a while, uncle, can you cook it for you?" Shen Gongqi said at the side
After hearing this, Yaya turned around and walked to him.
Shen Gongqi squatted down and waited for the villain to speak: "Okay, then Yaya wants to eat spinach noodles."
"Okay, let's go to the backyard and pull the spinach first, shall we?" Shen Gongqi asked
During this time, he has learned a lot of eating methods from Fang Nuo, and he can still cook noodles for Yaya.
"good"
After hearing her agreement, Shen Gongqi picked her up and said to Fang Nuo, "You go and have a rest, and I'll cook for Yaya."
"I'm not tired. You go ahead. I'll boil the water first," Fang Nuo said.
"Okay, you can boil some water and sit down for a while," Shen Gongqi said.
"Yeah, let's go"
After the two of them went out, she started the stove and boiled the water, went to the house and took out two apples, washed them, and put one on the table. She took one out of the kitchen and moved a chair to the yard. Sit down in the shade.
The two came back after a while. They washed the spinach and green onions they brought back in the yard before taking them into the kitchen.
Fang Nuo knew that this was Shen Gongqi's first time making spinach noodles alone, so he got up and followed him into the kitchen.
Watch him blanch the spinach, chop it into fine pieces, add flour and knead it into a smooth dough.
Then roll it into thin slices, and finally cut it into very thin noodles. When the water in the pot boils, shake out the cut noodles, then add them to the pot and cook until they float.
He also carefully made a tomato and egg topping for Yaya. Since it was for children, there was no seasoning in it.
After it's out of the pan, add two drops of walnut oil and mix well.
After the noodles were cooked, the three of them moved to the yard and sat in the shade. Fang Nuo continued to eat apples and Shen Gongqi was feeding Yaya noodles.
Little Yaya expressed her praise for the noodles made by Uncle Shen.
This led to later, when Yaya wanted to eat something, she went to tell Shen Gongqi, because Uncle Shen said that her mother was too tired for the day and should let her get more rest.
Fang Nuo didn't know these things, but she was happy to be free because someone was taking care of the children's meals.
After the summer wheat harvest, the village began to plow the fields to grow rice.
Fang Nuo didn't go to plow the fields. She went back and cut grass for a few days. When the fields in the village were plowed, she went to the fields to plant rice.
Shen Gongqi also wanted to follow, but Yaya had to be taken care of by someone. In the end, he was left to take care of Yaya and rested for two days.
After Fang Nuo went to the fields, he also got another big harvest, which were loaches and eels, both of which can be made into delicious food.
There are also people in the village who know how to catch them when they encounter them, but most of them are men. Women are afraid that these things are worms. If they are too scared when they encounter them, let alone catching them.
Fang Nuo was not afraid. He smiled when he saw the thing. Then he quickly took action, grabbed the thing and sent it to the bucket at the edge of the field.
This was only inconvenient on the first day, and I had to go back and forth several times.
On the second day, others discovered that she had a small bamboo cage around her waist. She caught the eels and loaches, put them into the bamboo cage, and then continued to plant rice.
By saving time traveling back and forth to the field edge, she earned two more points for her work today, and she also caught a lot more eels.
After finishing work in the afternoon and returning home, I put the harvest in the bamboo cage together with the one caught yesterday. It weighed more than ten kilograms and could be eaten for two meals.
When Yaya heard her mother coming back, she ran over from the next yard.
Seeing her standing next to a vat, he ran over and said, "Mom, what are you looking at? Yaya wants to look at it too."
Fang Nuo looked at his daughter, picked up the eels and showed her the eels in the tank, and said, "These are all delicious. After a few days of raising them, my mother will make some soup for Yaya, okay?"
"Okay, Yaya wants to eat"
"Okay, I'll give you more to eat then. Have you been good at home today?" Fang Nuo asked.
"Yaya is very good. Uncle Shen even praised me today," Yaya said
"Well, your Uncle Shen didn't praise you the other day," Fang Nuo said with a smile.
Shen Gongqi doted on Yaya very much. If she spoke louder to Yaya, Shen Gongqi would advise her: "Yaya is a girl, so we should pamper her more. This way, she will be pampered at home." , so that you won’t be deceived by other people’s sweet words in the future.”
Fang Nuo really didn't realize at first that Shen Gongqi was somewhat of a slave to his daughter.
Just when I was thinking about someone, I heard in my ears: "Yaya has been very good today. You have come back from work. You must be tired. There is hot water in the kitchen. You go wash up and then rest. I will cook dinner."
"It's okay. I've finished planting the rice today. I can have a day off tomorrow. I heard that I'll have to carry water to irrigate the fields later. I won't go to the fields then and will continue to cut the grass," Fang Nuo said.
