Chapter Eighty-Five: Family Happiness
Only then did Xie Chengshu understand why the eldest cousin not only did not feel anxious when he saw that he had brought back a lot of leftover gourds to his house every day, but happily asked those people next to him who were also selling things in the market what was their reaction? And when he picked them up, what was the reaction of the surrounding villagers? It turned out that he was trying to give people the wrong idea that this thing was not easy to sell and did not make money. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 At this time, he didn't even want to sell things as soon as possible to make money, but thought about not being followed by others in the future to plant gourds and lotus roots.
Liu Yujin This is purely because Brother Lao Hai told him that there are always people who secretly go to his lotus root field to see the growth, and point at his livestock, and ask Brother Lao Hai about this and that. Moreover, he heard that many families caught a lot of chickens, geese, ducks, and pigs in the spring of this year, so he had more to guard against.
Knowing that Liu Yujin knew what to expect, Hong Shun and the uncle and nephew of the Xie family were no longer anxious, and after letting go of the uneasiness in their hearts, several people still had a few glasses of wine. The uncle and nephew of the Xie family were even happier, and they could let go of drinking, but they were afraid that Liu Yujin's business would not be good, and they would have to go back to the mountains. Now you don't have to worry about that, you're in a good mood and everything is bright.
God loves to joke with people, when the big guys don't care whether the white is good or not, maybe it's better to sell badly, their white is suddenly very good. One is that the Dragon Boat Festival is coming, and everyone is willing to get two good dishes on the table. There is also a repeat customer, who has eaten it and said that the Liu family's cocoon is delicious, tender and a little sweet.
The father and son of the Liu family, together with Lao Hai, have been busy breaking white in the past two days. The next day is the Dragon Boat Festival, today Liu Yujin is not going to break so much, break the morning, eat at noon, and in the afternoon the father and son did chores at home and did not go to the lotus field.
Wang Hongying and her mother-in-law are busy making glutinous rice poop, ready to be fried tomorrow morning. It is not popular to make zongzi here, I don't know if it was removed when the four old ones were removed, or there has been no such custom here.
The pot is boiling the glutinous rice dumplings, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are busy rubbing the glutinous rice cakes. Tao Xiang was eating glutinous rice deliciously, and Cao Xiang stood on the special chair and looked at it dryly, because she was too young to eat glutinous rice. Liu Yujin used a wooden hammer to hammer the medium straw for the rope on the stone, and Liu Baiquan used two long benches to beat the straw rope side by side in the courtyard. (Rubbing a single strand with hammered straw is called rubbing rope, which needs to be wrapped with a long bench and crossed at both ends to be wrapped in an X shape in order to be put and not loose.) Twisting two single strands or three single strands into a rope again is called beating straw rope, so when beating straw rope, it must be two or three benches with a single strand rope tied to each other. )
From time to time, the family shouted through the open kitchen door and said a few words. Cao Xiang watched Tao Xiang eat glutinous rice in the kitchen, and she couldn't help but be greedy, but she really couldn't digest the rice made of glutinous rice, so she had to call her father to the open kitchen door, take her out of the special chair, and she wanted to go to the yard to play. She could walk independently for a long time, and her grandfather and father were busy making straw ropes, and she walked around the yard better than watching her sister eat here.
The grass in the yard was fragrant, and for a while, I touched the straw rope rubbed by my grandfather with my hand, and kicked the straw hammered by my father for a while, and I had a lot of fun. Every time Liu Baiquan saw Cao Xiang kicking the straw, he had to coax him with a good voice: "The eldest grandson is good! That can't be kicked, if the kick is messy, it will be troublesome for the old man to rub the rope." ”
Liu Baiquan didn't say that it was better, as soon as he said it, Caoxiang wanted to kick a few kicks instead. For a child like her, normal needs to be pulled by an adult to avoid falling. But she forgot about this, and deliberately raised her foot high, as if she was going to mess with the straw, and the other foot couldn't support the gravity of her whole body at all.
Cao Xiang looked remorseful and annoyed, and was a little confused, Liu Baiquan laughed when he saw it.
"Hahaha! I told you not to kick, you still have to kick, you fall, right?!"
Liu Yujin looked back and saw his daughter sitting on the ground, glared at her old man angrily, and hurriedly put down the work in his hand, picked up Caoxiang, and put it on the ground to stand.
"Don't be skinny, or you'll have to fall. Liu Yujin patted the dust behind Caoxiang and told her.
"Come on, come on, big grandson, show the old man, if his ass is broken into eight petals!"
"Hmph!
"The old man didn't laugh at you!" Liu Baiquan no longer opened his front teeth and laughed, but pursed his mouth and smiled, thinking that Cao Xiang Xiao couldn't understand it anyway, so he opened his eyes and said nonsense to lie to Cao Xiang.
"You're smiling!" said Caoxiang, as if disgusted that just relying on her mouth to say that there was no momentum, and she stomped her foot fiercely and bent over.
Liu Baiquan looked funny, and he didn't dare to open his mouth to laugh, for fear of making the little guy angry and crying. I had to hold back a muffled laugh, but the grass fragrance is not a real child who can't hear it and doesn't know that you're laughing.
"Grandma~"
Zhu Linglong heard Cao Xiang calling her in her voice, and responded loudly in the kitchen: "Hey!"
"Come!"
Listening to his granddaughter's call, he walked out of the kitchen door with two hands that would be busy for a while, and came to his granddaughter: "Good grandson, why are you calling grandma?"
"Grandpa laughs at me and beats grandpa!"
"Your uncle is right next to you, why don't you call you uncle?"
"Dad can't beat his uncle, grandma can beat grandpa!"
Liu Baiquan was just angry that his granddaughter was going to beat him, and when he heard this, he laughed lightly: "It's like a monster, how can you understand everything?!
Zhu Linglong's tears flowed from her eyes, and she wiped her sleeves with her hand, and asked Caoxiang in a trilling voice: "Good girl! Where do you say to fight, grandma will help you fight!"
Caoxiang just teased the little old man Grandpa, but he didn't really want to hit Grandpa, and after listening to Grandma's question, he made a difficulty: "Hit where? Grandpa! You say, hit where!"
"Let's get dressed!"
Knowing that her grandfather was fooling her again, Cao Xiang shook her head like a rattle, "It doesn't hurt to beat clothes, but it hurts to spank!"
"Spanking doesn't hurt either!"
"It hurts!"
"It doesn't hurt!"
"It hurts!"
......
Zhu Linglong tilted her head to look at the grandfather and grandson, they quarreled so much that they had already forgotten about her, so they quietly went back to the kitchen and continued to be busy with their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Seeing that the eldest daughter-in-law didn't do anything to laugh, he made fun of the child's old capital, but actually explained to his old man and said: "Her old capital couldn't see her granddaughter before, but now it's good! One was not afraid of him, and the other dared to quarrel with him, but his temper improved. Let me say: he is a bear man who bullies the weak and fears the hard!"
Wang Hongying hurriedly put away her laughter, she didn't dare to follow her mother-in-law to see her father-in-law's jokes, and replied curtly: "Father-in-law is getting older, and his heart has softened......"
As they were talking, a child suddenly rushed to her yard, "Uncle Liu, Uncle Liu! Go to your lotus root field, Chen Laosan and Uncle Hai are fighting." ”
Liu Yujin, Liu Baiquan and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the kitchen were all shocked, their lotus fields were far away from the Zhuangzi of the house, how could they fight with others?
"Yu Jin, don't be stunned, hurry up and go over with your uncle to have a look, don't bring things empty-handed!" Zhu Linglong's first reaction was that his family had to hurry over to help Lao Hai, who was asking after missing whom.
"Hey!" the father and son acted in unison to find something in the yard, one took a hoe and the other took a big shovel, and hurriedly ran to their lotus root field.
