Chapter 22: Dividing the Food
The dog day sun is going to dry all the water in the human body, and the sweat on the whole body has already wet the clothes when Xing Youliang and Zhang Xiaochuan finished washing the clothes, and the two of them quickly peeled off their clothes and took a cool bath in the river before returning home. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Xing Youliang carried Xing Youyou on his back, and entered the house with a large basin of washed clothes in his hand, and his sister-in-law Xing Guihua was already waiting for him in the yard, to be precise, waiting for Xing Youqian, who was walking behind him, carrying the fish.
"Why did you come back, did you come back after you had enough fun outside?Do you know how long I've been waiting, the sun is so big, do you want to heat me to death?" Xing Guihua crossed her waist with one hand, and stretched out one hand and put it in front of her forehead in front of the scorching sun.
Xing Youliang didn't say anything, just asked his younger brother to put all the fish and shrimp into the water tank and dried his clothes in the yard.
"It's really a mother who has no mother, and there is no politeness at all. Xing Guihua complained about Xing Youliang's ignorance of him, followed Xing Youqian into the kitchen, and saw a lot of fish and shrimp poured out, and saliva was about to drip into the water tank. Xing Youqian, who was standing next to him, stared at his sister-in-law with big eyes, and he was a little worried that his sister-in-law would put her hand into the water tank like this, catch the fish and eat it. Because on the way home, I heard a grandmother say that her grandson was so hungry that she couldn't wait for the shrimp to be cooked, so she couldn't wait to reach in and fish it out and eat it.
There are fish and shrimp to eat today, and the sun has not yet gone down, He Wenbi, who is in charge of cooking rice on weekdays, came back early, put down the hoe, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to start to fish up the fish and shrimp from the water tank to clean up, when Xiong Defen came in.
"Mother, what are you doing here? This kitchen is not cool. ”
"I'm going to do something, I'm going to count how many fish there are, how many shrimp there are. ”
He Wenbi didn't speak, she knew what Xiong Defen meant by what she said, wasn't she afraid that she would steal it.
"This old thing is really eventful, I originally wanted to leave two of them for Xiao Min and Xiao Lan in private. This is a good number, and it seems that it is impossible to start. He Wenbi thought so in her heart, but she said completely different things in her mouth.
"Yes, yes, my mother is thinking too right, and after counting it, I can't let a few of them come to steal food. ”
Eating secretly? The two of them didn't have time to go into the kitchen to eat secretly, and a few of them were now collecting firewood on the mountain, and they didn't bring Xing Youyou for fear that the sun would be too hot in the afternoon.
Xing Youyou, who had rested for a few days, finally gained some strength, and took advantage of the fact that no one in the house entered the secret realm and looked at the rice planted a few days ago. I was pleasantly surprised to find that two small seedlings were sent out in each pit of the planted rice, and not a single seed was wasted. This little seedling not only grows fast, but also grows strong, I don't know if this is because the soil in the secret realm is fertile enough, or the water is good enough, or the air or some other reason.
Now Xing Youyou has no way to know, this has to wait for her body to grow up before she has time to figure it out, but this is not too important, it is good to be able to grow it.
Xing Youyou sat on the ground, looking up at the sky in the secret realm, the gentle sunlight shining on her face, and occasionally the breeze gently brushed her face, although she didn't know where the wind came from, but she felt very comfortable, so that she didn't want to go out to face the hot dogs.
After resting for a while, she glanced at the pool in the middle, and remembered the fish and shrimp that had been secretly thrown in the morning, and wondered if they would be able to multiply here, and if they could, they should have some harvest by next year.
It's almost dinner time, and I wanted to get the rest of the land mixed with rice, but it seems that today is not going to work, so let's find time. Seeing that the monkey lady was eating the grass she had gathered at her feet, she found that her belly was getting bigger and bigger, and it seemed that it would not be long before she would give birth, Xing Youyou beckoned to it, and touched the sheep's head that kept arching on her body out of the secret realm.
Today's dinner was very early, and before the meal was ready, everyone sat around the table. Soon, the meal was served, still a thin porridge that was not thick enough, still a small plate of pickles, the difference was that there was also a pot of fish boiled with sauerkraut on each table, a lot of soup, not much sauerkraut and very little fish.
Although Xing Wanlu couldn't see it, he knew that it was delicious as soon as he smelled it, and he didn't wait for Xiong Defen to clip it, so he hurriedly stretched out the chopsticks to the place where the fragrance wafted from, but suddenly felt that the chopsticks were blocked by something.
"Wait, the fish and shrimp are eaten today. Xiong Defen said, blocking Xing Wanlu's chopsticks with his hand, and picked up the big bowl of fish.
The whole family focused on Xiong Defen's hand, and their throats were all moving up and down in unison, only to see Xiong Defen divided a fish and a shrimp to everyone on the big table, and the children below only had one shrimp in the bowl.
Xing Junmin looked at the shrimp in the bowl, swallowed another mouthful of saliva, and waited for her grandmother to give her the second shrimp, but before she could wait, she heard that the distribution was over.
"Why is it gone? I just got a shrimp here. Xing Junmin was a little unconvinced, got up and turned over the bowl with chopsticks, it was indeed gone.
"Grandma is not fair, why is there two fish and three shrimp in my sister-in-law's bowl. Xing Junlan found that her sister-in-law's bowl was almost unfilled, and said angrily.
"Your sister-in-law is an adult, she should get married in two years, what's wrong with eating some things at home now, this fisherman didn't say anything, what are you yelling at. Xiong Defen slapped the table and scolded loudly.
Xing Youliang knew that Xiong Defen had always favored this sister-in-law, and it was useless to say anything, so he hurriedly put a big chopstick on the sauerkraut in the big bowl for his younger brother and himself, and didn't say anything, eating his own. When Xing Junmin and Xing Junlan reacted, there was only a small plate of pickles left on the table, and they were panting angrily.
"You have food for punishment, you have gone too far. Xing Junlan looked at the empty bowl and scolded, while Xing Junmin next to him cried directly.
"Am I excessive, the fish was caught by me and my brother, so what's wrong with eating some sauerkraut. Xing Youliang didn't plan to argue with her anymore, so he filled some fish soup and fed Xing Youyou in his arms little by little.
Xing Youyou looked at his eldest brother's shining eyes, and the dimples on his face deepened with a smile. She felt that her eldest brother was different from before, the eldest brother in the past was like a father, honest, he did whatever he wanted, he would eat whatever he was given, and he didn't like to worry too much about others, a little stupid. Now the eldest brother is not stupid, she knows that there are some things to fight for by herself, some people do not need to be taken care of, and many things will be thought about by herself, she is happy with the change of the eldest brother. "Big brother, don't worry, it doesn't matter if you didn't eat fish today, Youyou raised a lot of it. Xing Youyou comforted him in his heart.
