After eating, my grandmother cleaned up the dishes and went to wash, Taoyang went to the kitchen to heat the bath water, and after the heat was good, the family washed, closed the door, and went back to the room to sleep.

The next morning, after breakfast, my grandparents took their clothes to the river and washed them. Taoyang slept until nine o'clock before waking up.

After getting dressed, my grandmother and her grandmother had already come back and dried their clothes. Grandma immediately smiled and said, "I don't have to work today, just rest at home." Tomorrow we will go and pick the figs from the back of the house and sell them on the street. ”

Taoyang nodded and said yes, sat in the hall and talked, the family talked a lot, and at noon grandma went to cook. Grandpa and Taoyang also went.

After more than an hour of busyness, lunch was ready, and the family began to eat lunch.

After eating, my grandmother cleaned up and went to wash, and my grandfather asked Taoyang to go to sleep for an afternoon, and he nodded and said yes. After cleaning up, my grandparents also went to sleep.

When they are usually busy, they will work every day. I didn't get up until five o'clock in the afternoon, and my grandmother got up immediately and called Taoyang outside.

When Taoyang heard this, he immediately got up, and his grandmother immediately smiled and asked, "Taoyang, let's eat noodles tonight, okay?"

Taoyang nodded and said okay, grandma immediately went to the kitchen, boiled water and noodles, and after cooking, asked grandpa and Taoyang to bring it over and eat together.

Dinner was early tonight, the family sat at the table, the bowl was filled with fragrant oil and salt, and some chili peppers.

Tao Yang said while eating: "I rarely eat, I eat all of them." ”

While eating, my grandmother said, "Let's pick the figs tomorrow, and after we sell them on the street, we can buy some copies of the hands and pork and come back, and eat them by ourselves, okay?"

Taoyang nodded and said okay, after the family was full, Taoyang cleaned up and went to wash.

There was no work today, and the family went to bed early.

On the morning of the third day, my grandparents got up at half past six, cooked breakfast, and asked Taoyang to get up and eat. After eating, hurry to the back of the house to pick figs.

After graduating from junior high school before, Taoyang and his mother came to pick it together, so he remembered. This time, he climbed a tree to pick it.

Of the six fig trees, only two bore a lot, and it took an hour to pick two fig trees.

Grandpa immediately carried it to the street and sold it, and asked grandma and Taoyang to pick it for a while and go back, and grandma nodded and said okay.

It was ten o'clock in the morning, and my grandmother immediately called Taoyang to come down, and hurried home, the sun was already very dry, and I would pick the rest in the afternoon.

Taoyang nodded and said yes, climbed down the wooden ladder, cleaned up with his grandmother, and went home together. After putting the figs in the bamboo basket in the hall and washing her hands, her grandmother asked Taoyang to eat the figs.

Taoyang peeled one off and took a bite, it was very sweet. Taoyang ate two in a row, and his grandmother ate three, Taoyang immediately said that he would not eat it, and now that he has grown up, he doesn't like to eat sweet.

My grandfather came back at eleven o'clock, bought a pound of pork and two pounds of hand-made skins, and when I got home, my grandmother washed the pork and chopped it up.

After adjusting the oil and salt, he asked Taoyang and his grandfather to outflank their hands together. Grandma patiently taught him to put the meat filling first, and then fold the flour leaves in half, and wrap them like an ingot.

Grandma taught it several times, and Taoyang finally learned it, and the two-pound hand-copying leaves were wrapped by the family for more than an hour before they were finally finished.

Grandma immediately went to the kitchen to boil water, after the water boiled, half of the copying hands boiled in the boiling water, and when it was cooked, grandma shouted to grandpa and Taoyang to eat copying hands.

With a bowl full of shoshou, the family sat down at the table and began to eat. Grandma asked while eating, "Taoyang, how does it taste?"

Tao Yang said while eating: "It's delicious, it's the same as dumplings." ”

My grandfather said while eating: "The wrapping method of dumplings is different from copying, has your mother taught you?"

Tao Yang said while eating: "No, Mom and Dad are busy going to work, mainly because they don't have time, and they all buy packages." ”

Grandma said while eating: "Then let's go to the street the day after tomorrow to buy two catties of dumpling wrappers and come back, make dumplings to eat, do you say okay?"

Taoyang said yes while eating, after eating, Taoyang cleaned up and went to wash, and his grandparents cleaned up the figs.

After finishing their work, the family went back to their rooms to rest.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the family got up, and my grandmother asked Taoyang to pick figs together.

Taoyang nodded and said yes, carried the wooden ladder to the back, and picked the remaining two.

After picking, they cleaned up and the family went home.

After washing her hands, my grandmother hurried to the kitchen to cook the rest of the hand.

After cooking, the family began to eat the hand.

After eating, my grandmother cleaned up and went to wash, and Taoyang helped to take a hot bath. When the heat was good, the family washed, closed the door, and went back to the room to sleep.

On the morning of the fourth day, Taoyang slept until nine o'clock and did not get up because his grandfather told him to sleep longer.

Grandma and the others also slept until eight o'clock, and when they went to the well outside the yard, my grandfather carried water and poured it into the water tank at home.

Grandma had already gone to the river to wash her clothes, and Taoyang had been wearing his grandfather's clothes for the past two days, and he didn't bring clothes. It's good that it fits perfectly.

There was no need to work, the time passed quickly, and the family sat in the hall and had a lot to say, and the grandparents asked everything, and Taoyang patiently answered them.

In this way, a day passed, and on the morning of the fifth day, my grandmother asked Taoyang to go to the street together, and after breakfast, the door was closed, and the family went.

Taoyang carried the figs in the basket on his back, and his grandparents followed behind, and it didn't take long for him to arrive.

When I was in the market, the village street was still very lively, and seeing the people coming and going on the street, my grandfather told Taoyang not to leave.

Found near the vegetable market, Taoyang put down the basket, and his grandfather began to sell: "Uncles and aunts, come and buy figs, your own, six yuan a catty." ”

After the uncle and aunt who passed by saw it, few people came, and my grandmother asked Taoyang to go with her to buy pork and dumpling skins.

Taoyang nodded and said okay, and grandma said as she walked: "Taoyang, you also came to this street when you were a child, and now the street has changed a little, and some shopkeepers have installed public telephones, if you go to study, you can write to your parents when you have time, and you can also call." It's not that convenient for us here. Your grandfather and I are not literate, so you are the only ones who come in person. ”

Taoyang nodded and said yes, and said loudly: "Don't worry, grandma, I will." ”

Soon came to the pork stall, my grandmother bought a pound of pork, and then came to the vegetable market to buy two pounds of dumpling skin.

Grandma took him around twice and told him what was sold on the street?

After turning around for a while, my grandmother immediately said loudly, "Let's go, go back and see if your grandfather has sold out?"

Tao Yang nodded and said okay, Tao Yang carried two pockets containing meat and dumpling skins, and the mother-in-law and grandson walked towards the front together.

After a while, when I arrived in front of my grandfather, my grandmother saw that there were still some figs left in the basket, and immediately asked with a smile: "Old man, I have already sold and there is still a little left." ”

Grandpa nodded yes, and immediately asked with a smile: "Taoyang, you're done shopping." ”

Taoyang nodded yes, and grandma immediately smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go home together." It's already been bought. ”

Grandpa nodded and said yes, put the rod scale, carried the basket, and went home with the family.

Not long after arriving home, my grandmother washed her hands, Taoyang also washed it, washed the pork she bought, picked up a kitchen knife, and began to chop meat.

After chopping, put the seasoning away, and grandma told me to start making dumplings. Grandma taught Taoyang several times to put the meat filling into the dumpling wrapper, slowly fold the leaves in half, and then pinch them tightly.

Tao Yang said while wrapping: "Grandma, this dumpling skin seems to be much thicker than the skin of the hand. ”

Grandma nodded yes, so the wrapping method is different.

Two catties of dumpling skin, it took the family more than an hour to wrap it.

Grandma immediately went to the kitchen to boil water, and after the water boiled, to the second half of the dumplings, after cooking, grandma asked everyone to eat dumplings.

Eating a bowl full of dumplings, my grandmother asked while eating, "Taoyang, does it taste delicious?"

Taoyang nodded and said that it was delicious, and after eating, Taoyang cleaned up and went to wash. After washing, the family went back to their room for a nap.

I didn't get up until five o'clock in the afternoon, and after my grandmother got up, she immediately asked Taoyang: "Taoyang, tomorrow we will go and carry the dried firewood back, and we will work for half a day in the morning." ”

Taoyang nodded and said okay, grandpa has already fed the family's livestock. I don't have to do so much farm work, and I'm a little less tired.

In the evening, my grandmother cooked all the remaining dumplings, and after the family finished eating, they went to bed early.

On the morning of the seventh day, my grandparents got up at half past six, and after breakfast, the family went out at half past eight.

When I came to the edge of the soil at my grandfather's house, my grandmother immediately smiled and said, "Taoyang, you can help your grandmother pick up the bundled firewood back." ”

As he spoke, he began to put together the beaten grain and grass, and began to bundle the dry wood on the ground. Grandpa also helped. After tying up, his grandfather taught him to use a thousand loads and asked him if he was heavy?

Taoyang shook his head and said that it was not serious, and his grandfather went home with him to pick firewood. At 10 o'clock in the morning, my grandmother told everyone to go home together.

Taoyang and his grandfather have already picked up a lot of firewood to go back. After returning home, my grandmother quickly took out the fan, turned on the switch, and let the wind blow in the sun, and his face was already red and sweaty.

He blew and said, "Grandma, I'm going to wash my hair." ”

Grandma nodded and said yes, immediately went to the kitchen to give him hot water, and when it was hot, told him to wash it immediately.

At noon, my grandmother cooked the rice and asked them to have lunch. I was a little tired from my work in the morning, and Taoyang ate two bowls of rice.

Tao Yang said while eating, "Grandma, is there still firewood outside?"

Grandma said while eating, "Also, it should take two more days." ”

Taoyang nodded and said okay, and in the remaining four days, he finally finished picking all the dry firewood outside.

On the twelfth day, my grandparents were going to dig vegetables in the field and sell them. Tao Yang went with them, came to the edge of the soil, and began to dig ginger.
