Chapter 194: Xiao Ming helps the family

The mother said while cutting: "These two pigs should be almost two hundred catties, tomorrow I will call the boss to see if they want to buy it." You'll be fine tomorrow, Ming. ”

You Xiaoming also said while cutting: "Originally, the five of us classmates would go to school tomorrow, but now that the family is busy, I won't go first." They should also have something to do, don't be busy and call them again. ”

The mother immediately said yes, and the two mothers and children cut quickly, and the green red lotus was a little long, and they tied it with their hands while cutting. Toss aside.

After a while, when there was a pile, the mother stopped, put it into the two baskets, and when she saw that it was full, she told her son not to cut it, and was ready to carry it back.

Xiao Ming helped his mother hand it over, let her carry it first, and her mother also helped her son hand it over, You Xiaoming immediately said no need and carried it all at once.

This little bit of strength is still there, his mother told him to walk slowly, a little heavy, he said okay, the two mothers and sons went back along the way they came.

My hands were stained with red ginger juice, and after a long time, my hands were a little black, I didn't wear gloves, and I was not flexible, so I had to use my hands and wash them quickly when I went home.

Slowly walked home and put it next to the gate, You Xiaoming put it down first, and then helped her mother put it down, the third sister was doing her homework, and when she saw them coming back, she called them.

The mother hurriedly brought water and asked her son to wash it first, brought soap and soap, and scrubbed it vigorously and slowly, and after washing for a long time, it was finally finished.

Mom found a clean big plastic bag and prepared to collect all the dried vegetables outside, there was no sun, so put it away early.

After You Xiaoming washed it, he hurriedly went to help carry it back and put it on the bench of the hall, there were many rats in the countryside, and his mother was afraid that the domestic animals at home would be killed by the medicine, so she never bought rat poison.

Placed there, my mother was not at ease, there was a big water tank next to the wall, specially for sun-dried grain, she took away the red bricks on it, opened the lid, and put the dried vegetables that had just been harvested into it.

The dried ones are placed underneath and separated in a plastic bag, as is the case every year.

There are also two large wooden cabinets next to it, which are specially used to store sun-dried grain, and most of the corn and red weeds harvested by fattening pigs every year are eaten by it. In this way, you can gain more weight, sell it for money, and the cost is also a lot.

After putting it away, the mother asked her son to help her sister look at her homework and go to the field to dig some vegetables and come back.

You Xiaoming immediately said yes, sat next to his sister-in-law, and asked her to show him the homework she had written, and the third sister said yes.

Mom went out immediately, put on the basket on her back, and took the homework written by her sister-in-law, You Xiaoming looked at it carefully, the handwriting written by her sister was okay, and the questions on it had changed a little.

Now my sister is writing Chinese, after reading it, it's basically okay, You Xiaoming immediately put it down, picked up the English homework she wrote again, saw the questions above, read it carefully, after reading it, there were a lot of mistakes.

He had to tell his sister to stop, and told her what was wrong, the grammar was messy, and most students would find it difficult to learn a foreign language.

The younger sister had to listen carefully, and the second brother asked her to take out the textbook for comparison, and then pointed out where the mistake was, and the younger sister suddenly realized when she heard it.

You Xiaoming immediately asked his sister: "Third sister, are your grades average, if you don't work hard now, it will be even more difficult to go to high school." ”

The third sister had no choice but to sigh and say, "Second brother, I've worked hard, really, I promise you, maybe I'm stupid." ”

You Xiaoming also sighed and said, "Alas, the eldest sister is too, her grades are average, and she also says that she is stupid, and you are the same." Maybe you are afraid that if you study well, it will increase the burden on your parents. ”

The third sister lowered her head and whispered: "Second brother, we belong to the superborn, and our parents have worked hard."

We are rural people, it is also a good thing to work on our own to earn money as soon as possible, I will work hard, if I can't get into a key university, I can go to a high school, I will go to work like an eldest sister. ”

Looking at his sensible sister, You Xiaoming had no choice but to say okay, he and the third sister looked five points alike, and now the younger sister was half a head shorter than him, close to one meter six.

With her mother for a long time, she is in a good mood and grows fast, her mother usually tells her to eat enough, and the eldest sister is a little shorter, only about one meter five or six.

After reading a few homework written by his sister, You Xiaoming pointed out all the mistakes, compared the textbook, and asked his sister to correct all of them.

At this time, the mother had already returned, she first gave the red lotus to the rabbit to eat, and then found a kitchen knife and a cutting board, and began to slaughter it, which was very short, so that the two fat pigs were delicious.

After slaughtering, he poured into the pigsty next to him, and called the two fat pigs, who immediately ran over, lowered their heads and opened their big pigs' mouths to eat. From time to time they whispered.

When the mother saw that they were happy, she immediately went back to the house and brought corn flour and poured it into the wooden bucket, which filled the bucket with some water, and when they had almost eaten, she poured corn water for them to eat.

With this feeding method, as long as the pigs can be eaten, they will grow very fat.

Mom turned around and went to take back the plastic pots in the yard, put the freshly slaughtered red pots into some corn flour, and after adjusting them, divided them into three plastic pots in the yard for the chickens and ducks to eat.

Hearing that the master was coming with food, a dozen chickens and ducks hurriedly ran over and scrambled to eat, making cooing and quacking sounds from time to time.

Mom turned around and went back, ready to cook, when You Xiaoming came over, entered the kitchen, and helped with the fire.

The mother washed the rice with water, and then the son started the fire, and the mother washed and chopped the vegetables next to her.

When you can drain the rice, you quickly drain it, because you have to cook dry rice, there is no leftover rice at noon, put it in a wooden barrel, put it in a pot, put it in water, and start steaming, which is how it is cooked in the countryside.

Mom cut the rest of the vegetables, and the firewood glowed on You Xiaoming's face, reminding him of the past, when he was a child, his grandparents were still there, and his parents went to work in the fields every day, and his grandfather would help, and grandma took the three of them.

My grandparents lived next to it, two mud houses, and then they fell ill and died, and my father saw that there was no place to keep the livestock, so he had to use one for pigs and the other for the other livestock.

It's been many years, some parts of the wall have cracked, and the people are a little unsafe, and then Dad and some mud smeared it on the wall, and it feels slightly better.

When the grandmother cooked, she asked the eldest granddaughter to help light the fire, and the two younger grandsons let them play next to them, and now that I think about it, the eldest sister is really diligent and helps to light the fire at the age of six.

From childhood to eldest sister, they will let them, always help adults with housework, never lazy, and now go out to work, and the salary they earn is sent to themselves by their father, such a family is really good to themselves.

Thinking about the past, he added firewood to the stove, and waited until his mother called for food, and then he stood up, and his mother had already brought the wooden bucket of rice with a wet towel.

The water in the pot was almost dry, just stir-frying, You Xiaoming sat down again, began to add firewood, and the firewood emitted a puff of white smoke, which was lit after a while. The fire was blazing, and my mother began to pour vegetable oil into the big iron pot.

Wait until the oil is boiling, then start to stir-fry, the smell of vegetable oil wafts all over the kitchen, my mother quickly poured the meat, stir-fried with a spatula, fried for a while, and began to pour in green peppers.

Watching his mother skillfully stir-frying, You Xiaoming carefully added firewood, in fact, he can also stir-fry, when he was at home before, the adults were very busy, and the three sisters and brothers were at home, they all cooked the meals and waited for the adults to come back to eat.

These three sisters and brothers are relatively united, unlike some sisters and brothers who will fight, fight for things, or adults tell them to work, and they will always refuse.

The firewood burned very strongly, and it didn't take long for three dishes to be fried, two vegetables and one meat, all of which were local seasonal dishes, home-cooked dishes, and they tasted good and delicious.

After the frying was done, my mother went to the hall and asked my sister if she had written it and had dinner. My sister immediately said yes, packed up her homework and took it away.

You Xiaoming washed his hands and came over with the dishes, and his mother also went to help.

All three dishes were served, and there were some leftovers at noon, which were heated together, and the family sat down to eat.

While eating, he said that the price of pork this year is now higher, and after raising it for a year, it can finally be sold, and I hope to sell it at a good price.

Mom chewed the vegetables and said with a smile: "Do you like to eat sausages and bacon, if you like it, I will dry some and sell it to the boss, talk to him." It's also cheaper. ”

You Xiaoming said while eating: "Mom, marinate less, it's not good to eat too much, it's not good for blood pressure if it's too salty, the doctor said." ”

Mom immediately said that she knew, every year she will marinate some, xx sausage bacon is a local way to eat, spicy, many people like it.

The third sister said while eating: "Mom, I like to eat it so much, it's good to pickle it." ”

Mom smiled and said okay, the family said while eating, when they were full, Mom cleaned up the dishes and went to wash, You Xiaoming went to the kitchen to boil water, and waited to take a bath.

The third sister found out her clothes, and her homework will be written tomorrow, anyway, it's a holiday, and she wants to go to bed early, but there is no TV at home, and she is used to getting up early and going to bed early.

When the water is boiled, the family goes to take a bath, and after washing, they go to rest.

The next morning, my mother got up at half past six and immediately went to hot rice, which had not been eaten last night, and could still be eaten this morning.

The two siblings also got dressed and got up, and came to the kitchen to help light the fire, and the third sister went to brush her teeth and wash her face first, and when the meal was hot, the mother asked her sister to serve it to the table, and she and her son brushed their teeth and washed their faces.

After washing, the family began to eat, and after eating, the mother asked them to stay at home, not to feed the pigs first, to see if the boss would come?

After speaking, he turned around and went out, You Xiaoming slaughtered the red lotus, fed the other livestock first, and his sister took the ratteng to feed the rabbits.

Mom soon came to the place where she was rushing to the market, and found the boss who sold pork, the boss who was covered in oil was selling pork, and his mother asked him if he wanted to buy pigs, and the boss asked how many catties he had?

My mother immediately smiled and said, "About two hundred pounds, I've been raising it for a year." ”

The male boss asked carefully: "How much feed do you want to feed, and how much do you want the price?" ”

Mom had to smile and say, "No, you go and see it first, and then we'll talk about it then." ”

The pork boss immediately said okay, sell it now, and come back at noon or afternoon. Mom said which one it was, and the boss had to say, "Come to me here after you have lunch."

Mom hurriedly said okay, there are four stalls there, the four bosses have heard it, and they are going to see it in the afternoon, they can buy it together, and then divide it evenly and sell it by themselves, which is a bit stressful.
