Chapter 36, Pulling the Electric Light
Seeing that he had to touch his head and smile like a second fool, the third grandmother's face was full of disgust, "Okay, let's go back to dinner, the third grandmother thank you." ”
This thing used to be eaten all the time, powdery, very glutinous, but it had to be cooked. (It's not the same thing as camphor wood in traditional Chinese medicine, don't compare it blindly.) )
Carrying the basket, he closed the courtyard door.
Fortunately, Ansan is gone, otherwise she would have to keep her food.
Mei Xue ate while waiting for her grandmother to come back.
Seeing the basket in her grandmother's hand, she asked inexplicably, "Grandma, what is this?"
"This is called Zhangmuzi in our local dialect, this thing is also a kind of hunger-filling food back then, I haven't eaten it for some days, will grandma cook it for you in a while?" Grandma He put down the basket and returned to the table.
Looking at the sky outside, Mei Xue shook her head, "Forget it, let's cook it tomorrow." "She really doesn't know what it is, a small one, even if she can eat it, it's very troublesome.
"It's okay, tomorrow it's boiled and mixed with some sugar, you can also put salt, you can make cakes, it's just a little troublesome." Grandma He racked her mind to know how to eat and said to Mei Xue.
Mei Xue nodded and smiled at her grandmother, "Okay, I'll cook with my grandmother tomorrow." "You don't have to think about it to know that it's very troublesome, so let's help grandma get it yourself, it's not easy to use your eyes when you're old.
"Okay, listen to Xiaoxue. ”
After dinner, Mei Xue brought water to her grandmother back to the house to take a bath, and then boiled a pot, and after her grandmother washed it, she took out the water and poured it out, and then washed it herself.
After taking a shower, everyone basically doesn't go out, just sleeps at home, waiting for the dawn of the next day.
Mei Xue was quiet here, but what she didn't know was how scared the two families were after she asked An Wen and An Liang to bring back a pheasant.
I was almost so scared that I didn't dare to eat, but fortunately, it was dark and the third aunt didn't come, so they dared to start eating.
can't blame them, the main thing is that Grandma He has been accumulating power for a long time, of course, it is when others want to take advantage of her.
Aunt Meilian saw that her house was rabbit and chicken, and she felt that it was better than the New Year.
There is only meat and fish during the New Year, and the chickens are reluctant to kill one to eat at home, and if they are visitors, they may kill one.
"Anliang, you help me do some household work these days, don't cut down trees, mom made the quilt that Xiaoxue wanted. "I only made the clothes of San'an Prison before, and I haven't done anything about the quilt that Xiaoxue wanted.
Of course An Liang was willing, "Well, I won't cut down trees for the past two days." What others don't know is that even if he cuts down the tree, he is afraid that today's incident will be known by the fourth uncle.
What should I do if the fourth uncle doesn't accept it at that time?
But it was dark, and I didn't see Aunt Yong come up to make trouble, An Liang was a little happy in his heart.
But he didn't dare to relax too much, and if he really came to find trouble, he would also stand up and say justice.
Aunt Xilian's family didn't have so many ideas, she only thought about what to go to the third aunt's house tomorrow.
She came back late today, mainly because her daughter was looking for something for herself, so she went to her daughter-in-law's house.
It was dark when I came back.
The lights in the third aunt's house have long been extinguished, and she can't go to thank her at night.
After eating, Aunt Xilian thought about taking something to the third aunt tomorrow.
"What are you thinking? Go to sleep. He Zhengxi was trying to sleep, but his daughter-in-law was always moving around, and it was already hot, and it was even hotter when she moved.
"You said you would take something to the third aunt tomorrow, thank you Xiaoxue?"
Fish is nothing, but the chicken is so precious.
"Didn't Hongmei give you some jelly, you can take it to Xiaoxue tomorrow, she is not big, she is still a child. He Zhengxi doesn't talk much, but he is also a diligent and courteous person.
There is no meaning of taking other people's things for nothing.
I didn't go to thank you today, mainly because there was no man at home in the third aunt's house, and it was not good for him to come to the door.
It's better for the third aunt to be alone, but there is still Xiaoxue, and those girls in the village are really numb.
"Yes, but there aren't many jellies, just a dozen or so, and Anwen has eaten a few, will this be too little?"
Aunt Xilian is a little indebted.
"Don't take it as an exchange, just treat it as their junior's own interaction, just return the meaning of the courtesy, you don't have to take more of the third aunt, you don't know what kind of person the third aunt is?" He Zhengxi sighed and said.
"Yes, okay, okay, let's not talk about this, go to sleep, I have to get up early tomorrow. ”
The man in his house is a hard worker, go to bed early, tomorrow he will go to cut down the tree, and in a few days he will sell the tree.
In the village, it is harvested once a month, mainly because the car is large, and I am afraid that the trees will not be enough to load, and the oil will be wasted back and forth.
This night, everyone finally fell asleep.
The next day, Mei Xue got up early to finish the work at home, and now there are no chickens to feed, as if something is missing.
It's a pity that the chickens can't be caught yet.
After the pigs were fed, Mei Xue went back to make breakfast, which was simple, and the two ate the leftovers from last night.
"Grandma, where are you going today?" Mei Xue opened her mouth to ask when she saw her grandmother looking down the mountain.
"I'm not going anywhere, I'll see if the one with the electric light comes. "Grandma He's most worried about Xiaoxue.
Hearing her grandmother's words, Mei Xue smiled, "Didn't you say that it would be three days later? ”
"Yes, forget it, don't look at it, Grandma Xiaoxue will cook camphor wood for you, and today Grandma will make cakes for you at home. Grandma He thought that she was really blessed now.
Xiaoxue did the work in the field, and Xiaoxue also helped her do the work in the field.
Honestly, she really has nothing to do now.
"Nacheng, you cook it first, and if you peel it, wait for me to come back, don't use your eyes too much, it's not good. "Mei Xue has to go to the vegetable field today, turn over the soil, and come back with some vegetables.
"Where are you going?" Grandma He was stunned for a moment and asked.
"I'll go to the field, a lot of peppers in the field are red, didn't you say last time that I want to get you some chili peppers back and make chili sauce?"
"yes, haha, grandma forgot, okay, you go. Grandma He waved her hand angrily.
The vegetable field was not far from the edge of her house, and Mei Xue took a hoe and went to the vegetable field.
The morning dew was still heavy, so she was wearing high boots, and the mud was a little wet, just right.
A lot of chili peppers have been sold, and now these remaining grandmothers are not allowed to sell, saying that they keep it for their own family to make chili sauce, Mei Xue has no opinion, anyway, she is not short of those few yuan.
Yesterday, she thought that if she could catch more animals and let her grandmother count the money, she didn't expect to catch three pheasants in the end.
It really disappointed her.
There wasn't much work in the field, and Grandma didn't grow much, so she almost sold it.
These are the ones that are left to eat at home, and you can't leave a bite for the sake of money.
