"Yue'er, what are you talking to A-Niang, look at your little face?" Qiao Hongzhi asked with a grin, reaching out to pinch Qiao Jiayue's cheek.

Qiao Jiayue twisted her head to the side, "Big brother, you didn't work hard, otherwise you wouldn't have found me and A-Niang talking." ”

"Why didn't you find out? Xiaoyuan and Xiaoliang both found out, did Yue'er encounter any problems?" Qiao Hongzhi put his arm around Qiao Jiayue's shoulder, "Come, tell the eldest brother, the eldest brother will give you an idea." ”

Qiao Jiayue glanced at Qiao Hongzhi, and suddenly had a bad look, "Big brother, let me ask you something." ”

Qiao Hongzhi smiled, "Okay, you ask." ”

"You're in junior high school now, have you met a girl you like?"

"Ahem, cough, Yue'er, you've learned badly, this kind of thing is not for you to ask. Qiao Hongzhi coughed a few times, and his face was a little embarrassed.

He mixes in the boys' pile every day, and it's not for nothing that he is older than him, so this kind of topic is naturally raised.

But the team is full of girls with the same surname, and most of them are talking about which girl they met when they went to their relatives and how they looked good.

Some people talk about their cousins and cousins, and some people have even quietly decided on their family affairs, waiting for the age to get married.

And Qiao Hongzhi, as the boss, avoids these topics.

Under the influence of Qiao's mother, he felt that his future daughter-in-law, not to mention graduating from college, would have to graduate from high school, otherwise how could she have a common language with her family?

Qiao Jiayue looked at Qiao Hongzhi's face, "So, you actually have a fancy?"

"Nonsense, the eldest brother's vision is not so bad. Qiao Hongzhi wondered if someone was talking nonsense in front of Qiao Jiayue.

"Yue'er, let me tell you, you're still young, don't believe those dolls, it's a big pit. ”

"Also, ignore those stinky boys, they don't deserve you. ”

Qiao Hong was chattering, for fear that his sister would be hooked away by some kid.

Qiao Jiayue rolled her eyes, "What are you talking nonsense, I'm going to take the university entrance examination." ”

Qiao Hongzhi snorted, "Then you still ask me?"

Qiao Jiayue looked back and forth, and lowered her voice, "I'm just asking, because there are many girls who think that Brother Lan and Brother Chen are good." ”

"Huh?" Qiao Hongzhi widened, and then said in hindsight, "Yes?" He didn't pay much attention.

As soon as she saw his expression, Qiao Jiayue knew that he hadn't noticed those details at all.

"Okay, big brother, I'm just asking, it's nothing. Qiao Jiayue pushed Qiao Hongzhi to the side.

"Yes, you have something to tell your eldest brother, you know?" Qiao Hongzhi got Qiao Jiayue's answer, and ran away, he was going to rush to see the rice and fish.

This year, the rice fish is growing well, and after the fish is distributed, they have to be quickly cleaned up and then dried in a dryer.

Qiao Jiayue looked at Qiao Hongzhi's back, and planned to boil hot water, so that she could take a bath when her family came back.

She was also thinking back to what Qiao's mother said, in fact, it was easier said than done to understand.

Many times there is no choice at all, especially in this time of limitations.

Sometimes the choice is right in front of you, but you don't have the courage and courage to do it.

How can someone never take a detour in their life?

The autumn harvest is as busy as ever, and when the public grain is handed over, the grain is distributed, and then some trivial matters in the field are dealt with, a month has passed, and the winter solstice has arrived in a blink of an eye.

Each family has one or twenty catties of glutinous rice, because there is no flouring machine, the members often soak the glutinous rice and grind it into rice milk with a stone mill.

The ground rice milk is put into a cloth bag, and the water is squeezed out with a heavy object, and the rest is the glutinous rice ball.

The white and soft glutinous rice ball, the finger poked a round hole, and when I got closer, there was a fragrance of glutinous rice.

The four brothers and sisters plus Cai Ping sat around the table and began to rub the rice balls.

Everyone rubbed the size differently, and they had to be reworked and redone, and several children joked with each other, and the room was full of laughter.

Qiao's mother left some rice milk, mixed with the filthy radishes, and steamed them on a plate.

The steamed radish rice can be eaten directly, or it can be fried in a pot until it is browned on both sides, and it is one of the favorite foods for children.

"Add another fire. Qiao's mother said to Qiao's father that after coming to the south for so many years, she is also handy with some food in the south.

In the pot on the other side, there is old duck and radish soup stewed in it, and in the steamer on the side, there are steamed buns that have been made long ago.

Qiao's mother makes taro paste, after the taro is cut into pieces and cooked, add some sugar, and the finished taro paste can be used to wrap rice balls, or it can be made into taro paste rolls and fried, even if it is eaten as rice.

Father Qiao slowly added another fire, "This year, use new glutinous rice to stuff a barrel of bar." "I'm tired of drinking too much sweet potato wine.

"Okay. Qiao's mother agreed very happily.

"A-Niang, the glutinous rice balls are kneaded, and they are ready to be put into the pot. Qiao Jiayue ran into the kitchen with a small bamboo plaque, and Cai Ping followed behind her.

Qiao's mother glanced at it, the rice balls in the bamboo plaque were of different sizes, and some were pinched into the shape of animals, she shook her head funny, these children are really naughty.

"Your remaining glutinous rice balls are being rubbed later, and I'll get some taro filling. Qiao's mother shouted out of the kitchen.

"Auntie, got it. Qiao Jiayue waved her hand.

On the table, Qiao Hongzhi was trying to knead a ball of glutinous rice into a rifle, but what he did was unsuccessful.

And Qiao Hongliang's hands are very skillful, and with a squeeze of his hand, a lifelike white cat is ready.

Cai Ping learned from Qiao Hongliang's practice and pinched the rabbit little by little.

And Qiao Hongyuan had already washed his hands and sat on the side in a daze.

Qiao Jiayue looked at the three people who were having fun, and simply leaned next to Qiao Hongyuan, "Second brother." ”

Qiao Hongyuan narrowed his eyes, "What's wrong with Yue'er?"

"No, it's just to sit with you. ”

When he heard this, he reached out and pinched Qiao Jiayue's little face, "If you want to be lazy, just say it." ”

Qiao's mother worked all afternoon, and each gave a piece of food, and asked Qiao's father to send it to Qiao's grandfather and Qiao's grandmother with a food basket.

Even if the relationship is not good, as a daughter-in-law, she will not fall behind.

When Qiao's father passed, he happened to meet Uncle Qiao, and he also came to deliver the rice balls, and the two brothers nodded their heads and staggered by.

Aunt Qiao is much more peaceful now, and she doesn't dare to run around, and Qiao's father has no objection to the way Uncle Qiao uses force to discipline.

For some people, they only know repentance by eating the flesh and skin.

When Grandpa Qiao saw these dishes, he was very satisfied with this second son, and there was never less filial piety.

He sighed in his heart that he had so many children, but in the end the most reliable was the second child.

Grandma Qiao had a little cold, huddled on the bed and shivered, Qiao's father looked at her situation, asked two more questions, and knew that she only drank two bowls of scallion and ginger soup and did not go to the health room.

Father Qiao sighed and went to ask Uncle Qiao, but Uncle Qiao said, "It's just a small cold, just drink a bowl of ginger soup and boil it, who didn't come over like this?"

"I still have to take it to the health room to see. Qiao's father said stiffly.

Uncle Qiao was impatient, "You don't need to pay to go to the clinic, you can send it if you have money!

Father Qiao was very angry when he heard this, and he dragged Uncle Qiao and punched him, "What are you impatient, how much is the cost of medicine evenly divided among the brothers?"

In fact, Grandma Qiao is also a failure to be a person, no one cares about being sick, Grandpa Qiao doesn't mention a word, if it weren't for Father Qiao's more questions, I'm afraid she will lose half of her life.
