After listening to this, Xu Xiaoxiao was silent for a moment, then looked out again. Although she did not see He Jing and Zhou Qian'an, she could imagine what they would say, what they would do, and how they got here.

"In our team, very few men are willing to enter the kitchen." Xu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and answered a little disappointedly.

Jiang Xiaohong was silent, but soon answered, "My mother said that men are the backbone of the family, and it's hard enough working outside."

"Of course I need to have a good rest when I get home. How can I continue to work?" Jiang Xiaohong thought about it and it was true.

Xu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and wanted to say something to refute.

But there were footsteps outside.

The two looked at each other and tacitly stopped talking about this topic.

He Jing went out to open the door and saw Zhou Qi'an coming back with a bunch of ripe yellow-skinned fruits. She raised her eyebrows in surprise and asked, "He's going into the mountains again?"

"Yeah." Zhou Qian'an didn't know someone from the He family had come, so he continued, "Let's go see how the piglets in the mountains are doing."

He Jing immediately shook her head, "Xiao Hong and Xiao Xiao are in the kitchen."

"Your friend is here?" Zhou Qian was quite surprised. "That's great. You can share these yellow skins among yourself."

"I'll go into the mountains to pick some later."

He Jing looked at it and said, "I'm very busy today and don't have much time to eat yellow skin."

"Just put it aside. I've washed it all." Zhou Qian shook the yellow peel in his hand, and water was dripping down. "My mother said that this yellow peel can help digestion, reduce phlegm and regulate qi. It's the best time to eat it now."

"Let's put it aside for now." He Jing nodded slightly and said to him as they walked, "My mother asked Mrs. Qing for help."

"Xiaohong and Xiaoxiao will come over during this period."

"Today we are going to make glutinous rice cakes." After saying that, He Jing motioned to Zhou Qian'an to go and look at the mortar and pestle, also called a stone mortar, placed at the kitchen door, which was specifically used for pounding glutinous rice cakes.

He Jing cleared his throat and explained why he was the one to do it, "My eldest and second brothers have things to do."

"Can't help."

"No problem." Zhou Qian agreed immediately. "Besides, this is a matter between you and me. It's not a good idea to always trouble my elder and second brothers."

"I'll do it."

After Zhou Qi'an finished speaking, his nose moved and he smelled the rich aroma of glutinous rice. He couldn't help but take a big sip, his face full of satisfaction, "Jingjing, the glutinous rice you make is always different from others."

“It smells great.”

He Jing didn't feel any difference, they both had the same glutinous rice aroma.

If I have to say, it is the difference between water and fire.

"You're just being sweet." He Jing shook her head, and reached out to him for the yellow peel, leaving some for him, "I'll go in first, you go sit in the main room for a while and get some water for yourself."

"know."

Since there were other girls there, Zhou Qian'an couldn't squeeze in, so he went to sit next door for a while.

He Jing returned to the kitchen, and when they saw Huang Pi, their eyes lit up.

"Jingjing, Zhou Qian'an is really good to you." Jiang Xiaohong was very greedy, but she didn't do anything.

He Jing picked one and put it in her mouth, "They are all washed clean."

As he said this, he gave Xu Xiaoxiao another small string of noodles, then turned around to find a clean plate and put it away, then placed it on the stove where it would not hinder his work.

"Eat if you want."

"No need to stay." He Jing said.

Xu Xiaoxiao ate one and said, "So sweet."

"Hmm." They are ripe, so naturally sweet.

Moreover, after that, Zhou Qian'an must have found time to pick up pig manure to use as fertilizer.

Those fruit trees must be growing well and the fruits must be sweet.

normal.

"Why don't you come in?" Jiang Xiaohong glanced outside.

He Jing squatted down to check the fire, smelled the steam, and felt that it was just a little bit short, so she added some firewood.

"It's small here. If he comes in, you two will definitely feel uncomfortable. Let him sit in the main room."

"When the glutinous rice is ready, let him pound it."

Jiang Xiaohong sighed, "That's great."

"I'm so envious." As she said this, she looked very envious.

He Jing couldn't help laughing, "It was all discussed by the two of them."

Xu Xiaoxiao wanted to say, "You are different from us," but she didn't know how to start the conversation. She also felt that it would be very awkward if she really said it, so she didn't say it.

In the following time, when the glutinous rice was cooked, He Jing scooped it out, poured it into a stone mortar, and asked Zhou Qian'an to pound it.

When the red beans are cooked, take them out and crush them repeatedly to make red bean paste.

Both of these things seem easy to do, but they are actually a waste of time.

After working for half a day, only the red bean paste was made.

The glutinous rice cake has not been pounded yet. It’s not that Zhou Qian’an doesn’t have the strength, but he is naturally tired after working alone for a long time.

While he was resting, He Jing went to do it slowly.

All in all, it took several people taking turns and almost two hours to get it done.

At this time, He Jijun and He Jidong came back.

When He Jijun walked in and saw Zhou Qian'an, he was both surprised and not surprised. It was a strange feeling that he couldn't describe.

"Qian, you're here. We were looking for you." He Jidong said, "The tractor next door still can't be repaired."

"I want you to come over and take a look."

"When?" Zhou Qian asked, "I have to see if I have time."

"This afternoon." He Jijun took over the conversation, "They said they had checked it and repaired it, but for some reason it just wouldn't start."

If it can't start, it can't be driven.

If it can't be opened, it's useless.

After hearing this, Zhou Qi'an had a vague answer in his mind, "Okay, I'll go over and take a look this afternoon."

"Making glutinous rice cakes." He Jidong came out after washing his face. He had smelled the fragrance of glutinous rice cakes a long time ago. When he saw it, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

"Little sister, can I try one?" He was so excited that he couldn't help it. This glutinous rice cake was white and plump, with a little red in the middle, and it smelled very fragrant.

His mouth was watering.

"To eat, it's made for eating." He Jing answered generously.

He Jijun looked over and asked, "Will they start delivering in the afternoon?"

"We have to wait until the fried rice cakes are ready before sending them." He Jing was not sure whether they could be ready in the afternoon.

If I make it but don't have time to send it out, and just leave it there in this kind of summer, I don't know if it will go bad if left overnight.

It has been sent out, so there is no need to worry.

Almost every household in this house has children, so the meal can be finished in a short time.

"Mom, sister-in-law, and sister-in-law Qing are all out. They should be back soon." He Jing glanced at the door, but the sun was shining brightly in the sky, and the earth was steaming with heat. There was no one on the road outside the door.

And now, it is only about eleven o'clock in the morning.

too hot.

The summer after the heavy rain was unbearably hot.

If you do nothing but stand in the house without air conditioning or fan, you will be sweating profusely in a short time.

He Jing raised her hand to wipe the sweat off her forehead and exhaled hot air, "Second sister-in-law should be going to pick up Jin Bao and the others."

At this moment, the sound of bicycles clanging could be heard on the path.

Everyone in the room couldn't help but look outside.
