Chapter 4 The Best
When I woke up early the next morning, it was still bright, and I went to bed early and got up early. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info touched the side, and the pear blossom was already up.
This should be in the kitchen to help with the cooking. Peach Blossom also quickly climbed up.
Entering the kitchen, the second sister and the Zhang family were indeed there.
Seeing her, Zhang smiled, "Why don't you sleep more?"
Peach Blossom scratched her head embarrassedly, "Well, I can't sleep." "
"I'll fetch you water and wash your face. The second sister said that she was about to come out of the stove room.
"No, I'll do it myself. Peach Blossom took the basin from the shelf next to her, scooped water out of the water tank, rolled up her sleeves and slowly washed it.
After pouring the water, Peach Blossom moved a small bench and sat next to the second sister to watch Zhang's cooking. In fact, there is nothing to look at, almost all of them are bud grain porridge and black buns, and the dishes are also boiled in water, which has no taste. The family is too poor, Peach Blossom raised her eyes and looked at the jar of oil, two days ago she also secretly looked, there is only one tank of oil at the bottom, Pear Blossom said, that is still sent by grandma during the Chinese New Year last year, and it is willing to eat when visitors come on weekdays, and they usually don't use it. Peach Blossom felt that her mouth was about to lose its basic function. Isn't it time to go looking for some game or something? Peach Blossom has long been a little worried about the mountains behind her, as the saying goes, mountains are treasures.
"Mother, why didn't I see the people in the village go hunting in the back mountains. Peach Blossom asked curiously.
"Silly girl, you think hunting is so easy, and you can't catch all that game on your feet. Zhang lifted the lid of the pot and pressed the bun with his hand.
"We can set traps. Peach Blossom said.
"Does Peach Blossom want to eat meat, wait two days for your father and eldest brother to go to the mountains to see if they can hunt a pheasant and come back. Zhang said, "Okay, the meal is ready, go see if your father and eldest brother have cleaned up." "
"Hey. Peach Blossom said yes and ran out. Just when Ming Sheng came out of the back room, he hugged the peach blossom all of a sudden, and said with a smile, "Third sister, I'm so hungry." "
"Okay, I've already cooked the meal, has the eldest brother gotten up?" Peach Blossom pinched Mingsheng's face and said, then looked at Jin Dazhong, who was fetching water in the yard, and shouted, "Dad, it's time to eat!"
"Hey, that's it. Jin Dazhong agreed, and slowly brought a bucket of water over, yesterday I saw that there was not much water in the tank, and I was afraid that my mother would not have enough water at home today, so he made it in advance.
"The eldest brother went to the back forest early in the morning to collect firewood. Hey, big brother is back. Mingsheng said and ran out of Peach Blossom's arms again, ran to Jing Sheng, who was carrying a large bundle of firewood, circled around his eldest brother, and reached out to help, but was pushed aside by Jing Sheng with a smile.
Kim Dae-chung poured water into the water tank, and Jingsheng also piled firewood in the corner of the kitchen. Peach Blossom hurriedly ran to bring water to wash her eldest brother's face. Zhang was urging him to hurry up. After a meal, although busy and tedious, Peach Blossom still feels happy, after all, everyone is fighting for this family, although there are no too many words, and there is no earth-shattering action, but some of the touching and warmth flow into Peach Blossom's heart little by little.
As soon as the meal was over, my father and eldest brother said that they would go to see the second son of Su and go to work in the city later, Zhang and Lihua took the needle and thread out to embroider things, and Mingsheng ran out to find his little friend. Peach Blossom was about to sit down and watch, when a shrill voice came from outside the door.
"Third brother and sister, are you at home?" a woman walked in from outside the door, nearly forty years old, with a pair of small eyes that had been gurgling since she entered the courtyard, and her eyebrows were slender and high. Dressed in dark gray clothes, his hair was messy, and a wooden hairpin was stuck obliquely, as if it would fall off his head at any moment. This is the eldest lady of the peach blossom, Du Shi, who is scathing.
"Oh, sister-in-law is really asking this question, this door is open, it must be at home, is it possible to run to someone else's house while the third brother is not at home. Another woman squeezed in from outside the door, chubby figure, dark skin, but still good-looking, that is, a mouth seems to be idle, and everyone will say that it is long and short, this is the second mother of the peach blossom, Li, is very broken, and is very unpopular in the village.
"Auntie, Erniang. Pear Blossom and Peach Blossom stood up and shouted reluctantly.
After coming here for so many days, Peach Blossom almost forgot that she still had relatives.
Zhang originally greeted him with a smile, but when he heard Li's words, he couldn't help but sink his face, "What is the second sister-in-law talking about, why don't I understand." "
"Ouch, look at my mouth, I just don't have a door, didn't I say it in passing, it's all a concubine, you see I don't have any malice. Li walked over with a smile and said to Zhang.
"Yes, yes, third brother and sister, don't you think the second brother is just such a person, what do you care? Du Shi also persuaded him, but the schadenfreude in his eyes was so obvious. Hmph, your head of the house is not at home all day long, your family is at the back of the village, and there are no neighbors or anything left and right, who knows if you have done that unsightly thing, and no one is allowed to say it. Mother shouldn't have split up in the first place, and she couldn't divide it into such a big yard, although it was broken, but the place was big, wasn't it.
"There is no evidence, I hope the second sister-in-law will not talk nonsense. Zhang's face was still not good-looking, "Pear Blossom, go and move a stool for your eldest mother and second mother to sit on." We don't have enough room for that many people in our house. "
"Hey. Pear Blossom turned around and went to the house in agreement, and glared at Du Shi Li before leaving, and Peach Blossom stood aside and put away the sewing basket, ready to take it into the house.
"Yo, let me see what the third brother and sister embroidered?" Du Shi didn't wait for Zhang to say anything, snatched the sewing basket in Peach Blossom's hand, took out all the embroidered purses, and said babblingly, "Ouch, embroider so much, it's so beautiful, it costs a lot of money, right?"
Li Shi also picked up a purse and looked at it over and over, nodding again and again, with a greedy light in his eyes, "Ouch, this is really good, look at this color, this pattern, it is fashionable in the city, it costs a lot of money." "
It happened almost instantly, and Peach Blossom couldn't react a little, damn, what kind of superb characters are these. Peach Blossom raised her eyes and looked at Zhang, and Zhang's face didn't see any look, she only reached out to get those purse embroidered handkerchiefs, "What is valuable or not, it is all embroidered for the embroidery workshop, I don't understand, I only make some hard money." Didn't the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law also embroider? "
But Du's Li took the embroidery to death, and he didn't let go, and Zhang couldn't help but say: "What does the sister-in-law and second sister-in-law mean." "
"What can we mean, I want to borrow the embroidery of the third brother and sister and take it home to see, learn something. Du Shi said with a smile, and Li also echoed, "Yes, the third brother and sister embroider well, and the people in the embroidery workshop praise it, and every time they get a few pennies more than us, we also want to learn to earn more." "
If this embroidery is really taken away by these two people, is it possible to come back? Peach Blossom didn't believe it.
At this time, Rika moved a stool out and fell heavily on the ground, "Isn't the eldest mother and second mother bullying my father when he is not at home?"
"Hey, look at what this Ni said, why do you have to make trouble with your grandfather. Du Shi let go of his hand with a little weakness, Zhang quickly took all the embroidery, and the peach blossom hurriedly put it into the house.
Peach Blossom doesn't have any impression of those people in the old house of the Jin family, and occasionally I heard someone in the village say that since his father and mother got married, they have been separated alone, and the three brothers Jin Dazhong are old, but he was separated by himself, which really makes Peach Blossom wonder what should have happened back then. But the Zhang family never said it, so the peach blossom owner is not very clear about it, but I heard that his grandmother did not agree to this marriage very much.
"Second sister, do you know why the eldest lady and second mother came?" asked Peach Blossom as she walked over to Lihua, who was looking for a stool.
"Who knows, it's annoying. The stingy ones are going to die, and the other one can only talk nonsense! Fortunately, I didn't live with them. Pear Blossom was originally angry, but in the end, she was glad again, but Peach Blossom also agreed with this. If you really live with such a superlative, you have to be crazy.
"That's right, we don't mean anything, it's just to see the three brothers and sisters embroider beautifully, so I want to take it home and see more." Li pursed his lips, "If you don't let you see it, you won't watch it, and we are not stingy people." "
Zhang's was a little angry, this ability to reverse black and white is really powerful, but after all, because of this concubine relationship, he didn't say anything, seeing that the two of them took care of themselves and sat down on the bench, he asked, "I don't know what happened to the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law coming to the house?"
"Hey, we're here to see the peach blossoms, didn't we hear that they fell into the river yesterday, and his grandfather bought peanut cakes for us to bring to the peach blossoms. Du Shi said, as if he had just seen the peach blossom, he hurriedly took the peach blossom's hand, and asked with a smile: "It seems that it is okay now." "
As soon as Peach Blossom came out of the house, she heard Du Shi speak, and was pulled over again in a blink of an eye.
Du Shi's hands were very rough, and the peach blossoms were pulled painfully, so he only nodded and said, "Aunt Xie and Erniang care." "
"Her second mother, what about the things our father bought?" Du touched Li with his elbow, a smile on his face.
"Oh, where's the thing?" Li Shi felt as if he had just remembered, and hurriedly touched it on his body as if he was looking for something, and then pushed Du Shi, "Look at you, you are in a hurry, you forgot to bring the peanut cake." "
Rika sneered beside her. Peach Blossom also looked at this farce calmly.
"Really, look at my memory, but look at the peach blossoms is the point, and next time the aunt will buy it for you. Du Shi said very nicely, but the shrill voice really didn't make Peach Blossom feel good, and only smirked cooperatively.
"Forget it, forget it, it's the same to keep it for a few babies at home. Zhang said.
"Haha, that's what I said, my Zhanpeng has to go to school every day, so naturally I have to make up for it. This female baby is definitely different from a male baby. When Du Shi talked about his baby, his eyes were almost gone.
Peach Blossom naturally remembers the second son of the eldest mother's family, fourteen-year-old Jin Zhanpeng, who looks old and has always looked cloudy, and seems to have seen it a few times in the village in his impression, and every time Peach Blossom avoids walking.
The two of them just talked about it one by one, and Pear Blossom tried to drive people away several times next to her, but was stopped by Zhang. In the end, I could only pick up a broom and sweep the yard, and sweep the originally clean yard into dust. In the end, the two had to say goodbye and leave.
"Mother, why don't you let me pick them up, you see them say that. What is the meaning is also said, what happened to her baby? Just allow her to eat it, and we can't eat peach blossoms. Rika threw down her broom and said angrily.
"Just listen to what they say, you really can't give them a plan. Zhang persuaded: "You are not too young, you can't speak so unobtrusively, how can you marry someone in the future." And no matter what, they are still your eldest mother and second mother.
"Yes, second sister, are you bitten by a dog, do you want to bite back again?" said Peach Blossom innocently.
Zhang and Rika glanced at each other and laughed.
"Who was bitten by the dog?" the courtyard door was pushed open again. The three of Peach Blossom Niang looked at the visitor in surprise.
