Chapter 16: Have You Eaten?
Xing Dafu was so hungry that he thought about cooking some more food by himself, but he couldn't do it at all, the food at home was only three meals a day, and cooking his mother was definitely not allowed, and the fire had been extinguished, and it took a lot of time to relight the spark, which would definitely delay work in the afternoon. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Xing Dafu sighed, thinking that it would not be a big deal to be hungry, so he went to the yard to feed the sheep and go to work after resting.
Li Lilian passed by Xing's house with a basket, and saw Xing Dafu squatting on the ground to feed the sheep, so she greeted casually:
"Brother Xing feeds the sheep, it looks really good, they are all so fat, Brother Xing, have you eaten it?"
In that era when every household did not have enough food and clothing, eating and eating was the goal of the people and the topic of life that they cared about each other.
But this question made Xing Dafu a little embarrassed, saying that he hadn't eaten it, but his family had already eaten it, and he said that he was still hungry. He was so embarrassed, standing dumbfounded, not knowing whether he had eaten well or not.
Li Lilian felt that something was wrong, seeing that his lips were pale, she should have been hungry and panicked, she carried the basket, stepped forward, looked around, and found that there was no one, so she took out a thing in the basket and quietly handed it to him.
"Here, Brother Xing, you take it and eat. ”
Xing Dafu looked at the thing in his hand, a sorghum noodle nest, and pushed it out without saying a word.
"How can I want you with such a precious thing, no, no, no, you better keep it for Xiaochuan to eat. ”
"Brother Xing, don't be polite to me, I just came back from my mother's house, the basket is all there, the boat is still there, you just ate a handful, I see that your lips are white, where do you still have the strength to work in the afternoon." ”
Seeing that Xing Dafu still didn't accept this nest, Li Lilian said again:
"Besides, Brother Xing, did I receive less kindness from Xiaorong in the past? Now you don't even want to accept a nest, how can I repay her love. ”
"But, this," Xing Dafu wanted to say something more, but at this time, his Five Organs Temple kept beating gongs and drums to protest, so he took the wowo head and put it into his mouth in three or two clicks.
This scene made Li Lilian a little funny.
"I'm not afraid to choke when I eat so fast. ”
It just so happened that at this time, the two brothers peeking through the crack in the door came out from behind Xing Dafu and shouted in unison:
"Daddy"
This shout made Xing Dafu really chok, coughing constantly, and the boss immediately went into the kitchen to fetch a bowl of water for him to drink.
"Dad, you haven't eaten yet? Grandma said that you ate well at Captain Chen's house, and she won't let you keep food. Xing Youliang said with some distress.
"It's okay, Dad isn't hungry now, thank you, Xiaolian. ”
"What's this, I guess Xiaochuan hasn't eaten yet, so I'll go back first. After saying that, Li Lilian turned around and left.
After Li Lilian left, Xing Dafu took his sons back to the house and told them about the pregnancy of the sheep. The two boys danced with joy.
"Dad, when will the monkey lady give birth to the lamb?" Xing Youliang asked
"I guess I'm going to give birth in two months. ”
"Daddy, how many lambs will there be?" Xing Youqian asked
"Daddy doesn't know yet. ”
The two children kept asking questions, and Xing Youyou on the bed was a little anxious, "It's time for the old lady to drink milk, have you all forgotten?"
"In the future, if you have a dry job, you will be responsible for taking care of your sheep, if you have grain, you will be responsible for taking care of your sister, and if you have grain, your father will be responsible for growing grain and making money, okay?" Xing Dafu happily assigned them revolutionary tasks.
The two brothers replied "yes" in unison, and after saying the good words, Xing Youliang remembered that he hadn't breastfed his little sister yet. Hurry to the kitchen.
Zhang's family, Zhang Xiaochuan was reading in the study, and his mother left in front of him and didn't hear it.
"Ogawa, it's time to eat. ”
Zhang Xiaochuan put down the book at this time: "Mother, when did you come back?"
"Not long after, just cooked, come over to eat, there is a nest of heads. ”
Zhang Xiaochuan excitedly went to the table in the yard, but saw that there was only one nest, so he asked:
"Why is there only one, there used to be two?"
"My mother was hungry on the road, so I ate it, this is yours. ”
Zhang Xiaochuan looked at his mother with some suspicion, he knew that his mother ate everything with him, how could she eat on the road. But he didn't ask in detail, and gave half of it to her mother:
"Mother, I can't eat so much, you can help me eat. ”
Xing Dafu didn't want others to know that his sheep had cubs, but he ignored Captain Chen's next-door neighbor, the third aunt. In this little-known stone mill village, there are two well-known figures, Sangu is one of them, who lives in Xia Village, and the other lives in Shang Village, named Liupo. These two people were fine, and they teamed up with the big horn daughter-in-law of the Xing family, the east family, and the west family, and talked about the rights and wrongs of others. On this day, the sixth woman in Shangcun went to the lower reaches of Huaxi on the edge of Shimo Village to wash clothes, and happened to meet the third aunt, saying that the sheep of the Xing family had a big belly and was about to give birth, and it seemed that there were at least several little lambs. When these six women heard the news of the Xing family, they couldn't help but finish washing their clothes, and they had to stop by the big horn He Wenbi on a long way to tell the big horn He Wenbi the news, saying that there were seven or eight lambs in the belly of Xing Dafu's family, and they were all going to be sold so that they could find a new daughter-in-law. In this way, the news of Monkey Niangniang's pregnancy spread far and wide, and because of this news, it caused a sensation in the entire Xing family, and also affected the entire Shimo Village.
