Chapter 317: Grasshoppers
This morning, Bai Meilan also went to Qiao Jiayue's house to buy some meat, it is said that the old man in her family is sick and plans to go back to the city with the tractor tomorrow to celebrate the New Year in the city.
Chen Mian ran back and asked Bai Meilan's opinion and got permission.
Before going out, she turned around and looked again, and found that there was nothing to give Qiao Jiayue, so she had to take two straw grasshoppers from the table.
"Sister Jiayue, this is for you. Qiao Jiayue grabbed the grasshopper and asked with a smile, "Did you make it yourself?"
"No, my brother got it back. Chen Mian lowered his voice, "He was really noisy, and he was scolded by my aunt, so I left one for him." ”
There was no sympathy for her brother in her tone.
Qiao Jiayue smiled, "Your aunt is not used to it?" Chen Bai is really good at talking sometimes, his mouth keeps moving, but it is all nonsense.
There are not many people in the village who can weave straw, after all, whether before or after the founding of the People's Republic of China, this place has always been a poor and remote area, and few people have the heart to play these.
Qiao Jiayue knew that Qiao Hongliang would do it, he was very patient, he could play with a few grasses for a day, and the things he made were very exquisite.
The third brother doesn't like to talk, but Qiao Jiayue found that he always has a kind of pursuit of perfection for the things he likes.
Whether it's painting, taking pictures, or weaving.
The two girls returned home laughing and laughing, Qiao Hongzhi came out of the kitchen, his face was still stained with pot ashes, and he looked weird and funny.
"Hey, Yue'er, Mianmian, where did you get the grasshopper?" The key is that the grasshopper looks very familiar, Qiao Hongzhi thought, it won't be what he thought.
"My brother's, I don't know who did it, it's so beautiful. Chen Mian squinted and said, there is no burden at all to take the eldest brother's things.
"......" Qiao Hongzhi couldn't help wiping his forehead, but as a result, he smeared more pot ash, and the two girls laughed.
Qiao Hongzhi couldn't help but feel sorry for Chen Bai, this grasshopper was still made by him begging Xiaoliang, but Chen Mian turned around and took away two, which made him cry.
Qiao Hongliang came back with a lot of finches, and when he saw the grasshopper in Qiao Jiayue's hand, he couldn't help but tilt his head, "Yue'er, do you like it?"
When he did it before, Yue'er didn't show anything special, huh?
"It looks good, nice to hang in the house. Qiao Jiayue squinted her eyes to hide the weakness in her eyes, in fact, she really didn't care about these gadgets before.
"Then I'll help you make up a few more later. Qiao Hongliang nodded, indicating that he understood.
He thought with some pity, it was a pity that there were no silk tapes or colored stripes of various colors like those shown in the course, otherwise he would have been able to make a better pattern.
String the braided flowers or animals with shells and hang a bell to make a wind chime, which must be beautiful to hang under the window.
Qiao Jiayue heard it for the first time, and some people expressed it in this way.
"Brother Xiaoliang, what else are you going to make up?" Chen Mian's eyes instantly brightened a little, she liked these delicate little things.
"Quite a lot. Qiao Hongliang will still answer Chen Mian's question, but the number of words is not much.
After entering the house, the twins were still lying by Qiao Sigu's side, slimy, and fussing about not drinking medicine.
After they saw the grasshopper in Qiao Jiayue and Chen Mian's hands, their eyes instantly lit up, and their attention was also diverted.
Qiao Sigu just wanted Qiao Jiayue to give the grasshoppers to the twins to play, and then she remembered something, and quickly swallowed back the words that came to her mouth.
Qiao Jiayue noticed the twins' gaze, so she deliberately teased them with grasshoppers.
"Xiaoping Xiao'an, do you want this?" she shook the grasshopper towards them with a smile, and quickly moved away when they reached out to grab it, "Then you drink the medicine obediently, and I'll let Cousin Xiaoliang make it for you." ”
"Really?" Lu Zhenping's eyes lit up a little, and he looked at the decoction on the side, looking eager to try.
But Lu Zhenan was hesitant, his eyes went back and forth between the decoction and the grasshopper, and he pursed his lips but didn't agree.
Qiao Jiayue found out, she turned out and called Qiao Hongliang in, "Third brother, you tell Xiaoping Xiao'an, will you be a grasshopper?"
Qiao Hongliang nodded, "In addition to grasshoppers, I will also make lanterns, dragonflies, rabbits, ......" He reported a list of names.
When Lu Zhenan heard this, he reversed his previous hesitation and immediately agreed, "Okay, then I'll drink the medicine." ”
On the side, Lu Zhenping had already drunk the medicine.
Qiao Jiayue looked a little funny, "Then you have to wait for a while, we haven't eaten yet." ”
Lu Zhenping didn't stick to Qiao Sigu anymore, he pushed Qiao Sigu away, "A-Niang, you go to eat, I'll sleep." ”
Lu Zhenan didn't move, only playing with his fingers.
By this time, the differences in the temperament of the twins were already obvious.
Because of her own experience, Qiao Sigu didn't want to be an eccentric mother, and tried to treat the two children equally.
Even if Lu Zhenan was still leaning on her, she hugged him down forcefully and went out to eat without looking back.
Lu Zhen'an pursed his mouth, whether he wanted to cry or not, he didn't cry or make a fuss in the end.
Throughout the year, Qiao Jiayue didn't see the twins many times, their brothers and sisters didn't have time to run to the Changshan team, and the twins were young, and the adults didn't worry about them coming by themselves.
So it's the first time she's seen twins, and that's what they look like.
She was suddenly glad that she was young, and if she had such an ignorant brother, she would definitely go crazy, and she would beat him up without mercy.
Qiao Jiayue put the grasshopper back in her room, then closed the door and went to lunch.
Qiao's mother made mustard taro rice, which was mixed with fried burnt meat scraps, and the surface was shiny with a layer of oil.
The smell of meat, mixed with the aroma of meat, came to the face, and several people in the kitchen couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and when the salty rice was stirred up, the taste became stronger.
Qiao Jiayue finished drinking the bone broth and ran into the kitchen with a bowl, she asked for the layer of pot at the bottom of the pot.
Qiao's mother has a good control of the heat, the pot is brown and crispy, it will not be too hard to bite and will not be black and the taste is bitter, Qiao Jiayue has always liked to eat it.
Qiao Hongzhi is the same, the brother and sister don't eat, the two of them put a big piece of pot, take a big bite, and feel that there is a "squeak" sound in their mouths, which is interesting.
There is another kind of meal, that is, the pot is added to the bone broth, soaked and softened, and it has a unique flavor.
And Qiao Hongyuan and Qiao Hongliang don't like to eat, they feel that it is easy to stuff their teeth when they eat pot, and after chewing for a long time, their cheeks are very sore and uncomfortable.
The group was chatting while eating, and when they were talking and laughing, they suddenly heard the cries of the twins.
Everyone looked for a sound and found that Lu Zhenan was holding a grasshopper in his hand, and the door of Qiao Jiayue's room behind him was open.
And Lu Zhenping wanted to grab the grasshopper, the brothers fought, no one let anyone, twisted around, and as a result, they all hit the wall and cried.
