Chapter 472: Catching grasshoppers in the field
Xuan Miao'er scratched her head and looked at Hua Jiye, her father and mother actually couldn't get over this hurdle in their hearts, and they still didn't accept using people.
Hua Jiye received Xuan Miao'er's distress gaze, and said to Liu: "Auntie, that family is quite pitiful, after all, there is a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, if this is not done well, and it falls into a bad family, I don't know what will happen to this girl in the future." ”
This speech pinched Liu's weakness: "This is also pitiful, or let's help them." ”
"What are you helping, mother? They don't have a house or land, but they still sold themselves. Xuan Miaoer had to admire Hua Jiye's cleverness.
"Help them redeem themselves, and give them some money?" Liu has lived a hard life, so this sympathy is great.
"Mother, they are not familiar with the place, how much silver can let them settle down, what will they do after they settle down? If our family buys them, you can give them the deed of sale in the future, and you can help them if you want to, how good is that?" Xuan Miao'er felt that she was setting a trap on her mother.
Liu thought about it: "That's right, or trouble Jiye to help me buy people back, our family is also short of people." ”
Hua Jiye hurriedly responded: "Then I'll let people come over tomorrow morning, it just so happens that tomorrow we are going to play in Zhuangzi, and we have to come over to pick up Miao'er's friends." After speaking, he smiled vaguely at Xuan Miao'er, this thing is not done.
Liu nodded: "Then let people come over as soon as possible, this person, there is always a place where he can settle down, or he is not sure." ”
As he spoke, the meal was finished.
Xuan Miao'er looked at the sky: "Mother, let's go and deliver food, don't go, we'll catch grasshoppers in the field after delivering food." ”
Liu Shi looked at the three of them holding sleeves and cloth bags in their hands, and this posture was ready: "That's okay, we save trouble, you should be careful on the road, don't get hot." ”
"I know Mother, then let's go. Xuan Miao'er responded, and she first took a basket of rice.
Qianluo Qianmo also took things, and the two family members behind Hua Jiye also came to get things, and one of them was empty-handed and took what Xuan Miaoer was in his hand.
There is no need for Xuan Miaoer to fight for it, anyway, it will be in the carriage later.
got into the carriage, Xuan Miaoer asked Hua Jiye in a low voice: "Hua Jiye, are you quite good at pitying fragrant jade?"
Hua Jiye was stunned, what does this mean: "What's wrong with me?" At this time, he was really confused.
"I also pretended, saying that there is a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, if it is not done well, what bad place will fall, and I don't know what will happen to this girl in the future. "Xuan Miaoer has a good memory, so she also remembers these words.
Hua Jiye reacted at this time, and then smiled: "Why are you jealous?"
"Originally, I was talking about you, but you will change the topic, and I'm not your person, what kind of vinegar do you eat. Xuan Miao'er's face was hot, and she also felt that what she said was sour.
Hua Jiye was happy to hear it: "The little girl thinks a lot." ”
Fortunately, the road was not far away, and at this time the carriage stopped.
She hurriedly got out of the carriage first, Hua Jiye followed behind with a smile, and the group walked over the ridge of the rice pond, Xuan Wentao and they were all resting under the willow tree on the ground waiting for the food to be delivered.
Seeing that it was Xuan Miao'er and they were coming, Xuan Wentao stood up: "Why are you here, on this hot day, Miao'er hurriedly took Jiye back." ”
Xuan Wenjiang said hello, came over to help take the food and put it away, and beckoned the workman to eat.
"Dad, my brother and I brought Jiye to catch grasshoppers, and brought the rice by the way. Xuan Miao'er said and asked the people behind to put all the food away.
"It's not that you dragged Jiye to play with you, right?" Xuan Wentao said Xuan Miao'er on his face, but how could he be a little strict.
Hua Jiye hurriedly came out to prove: "It's my uncle who is coming, I'm not interesting in the town, so I want to come out and find something to play, this grasshopper cricket is tired of playing, just try to catch grasshoppers." ”
This is also said to others, Xuan Miaoer and their family all know that Hua Jiye is really temperamental, but to the outside of this guy is a gentleman.
Xuan Wentao was relieved: "Then you go play, be careful, don't bump into it, the sun is big, get a straw hat to cover it." ”
"Knowing Dad, we're not kids, let's play. Xuan Miaoer didn't want to bother here for too long, people still had to eat, and a few people went to the field where the rice was cut and began to catch grasshoppers.
Ripe crops were removed from the land, and the fields were unusually empty. Without the shelter of the crops, the fat grasshoppers have almost nowhere to hide, so they can only hide in the rice stacks.
Xuan Anhao began to impart his experience: "It takes a lot of strength to catch grasshoppers, those grasshoppers escape from the grass, they won't fly too far, and they pounce on it fiercely to ensure that they are caught." ”
Xuan Miaoer didn't wait for Xuan Anhao to finish speaking, and began to arrest her, she had been in the countryside when she was a child in her previous life, and she had also married grasshoppers, so she couldn't say that she was caught, and she was not a stranger.
Hua Jiye is agile, so catching grasshoppers can't make it difficult for him, but he pretended not to catch them at first, and it took a while to get started, and all the catches were packed in Xuan Miaoer's cloth bag.
Qianluo also had itchy hands, and they all began to catch grasshoppers, and the field was lively.
In the afternoon, there were more and more children in the field, and there was little food at this time, especially meat, so the children who could not work in the family came out to catch grasshoppers.
They catch more and faster, but more for fun, so they catch for a while and play for a while, play until dusk in the afternoon, go back before the harvest, and go to Li Mengxian and Liu Xiaotao's house by the way, and invite them to go to Hua Jiye Zhuangzi tomorrow to play, and then go home.
When they arrived at home, Liu prepared a pot of boiling water, poured all the grasshoppers into the boiling water, and sent them to the end, and then took them out to control the dryness and salted them for a while, and then fried them in the pot, which happened to be a dish in the evening.
This smell is really fragrant, the whole yard is fragrant as soon as the pot is cooked, Xuan Miaoer and Xuan Anhao couldn't help but run into the kitchen to see, Liu fried it first, served them a bowl, and let them take it out and eat it with Hua Jiye first.
The three of them sat at the stone table in the courtyard eating and talking, and after a while, Xuan Wentao and they all came back, although there were many people working at home, but Xuan Miaoer still stood up to get water for her father and second uncle to wash their faces.
At the dinner table, Xuan Miaoer told Xuan Wentao about the family to buy someone, and Xuan Wentao frowned and hesitated before, but after hearing it, like the Liu family, they are all kind-hearted, so this matter should be done.
After eating, Xuan Miaoer and Hua Jiye went back to the town, and Xuan Miaoer had to go back to inform Xuan Linger and Xuan Anrui about this, so she couldn't live at home, and Xuan Anhao naturally stayed at home. (To be continued.) )
