Chapter 45: The brother and sister go to shovel pig vegetables

In the winter when Yan Bian Xi was in the third grade, the family raised a fat pig and two little piglets, and the fat pig was killed for the New Year, and the piglets were raised until next year. These three mouths are scary to eat, and the greens in the vegetable garden can't win, so you have to shovel some wild vegetables to fill the number.

Yan Bianxi's main thing after school and in his free time on Sundays is to shovel pigweed, and in cold weather, the pigweed is mainly daylily.

Yan Bianxi took a shovel and a basket, and as soon as he went out, he would shovel a basket of daylily back. Especially on Sundays, she has to shovel a few blue and have it ready for the next week, when the pigweed can't be picked up.

Seeing that Yan Bianxi was about to go out, Yan Bianzhao also followed, he was bored at home alone and went out to make soy sauce.

Shoveling vegetables is not a simple matter, and the Tian Long who received Qiao is very uneven, made up of large and small mounds of soil, and the daylilies are crowded and grow in the cracks and pits. When shoveling vegetables, you must squat down and estimate the roots of the vegetables to shovel up the daylily whole, and you can't straighten up when you move the place.

How could Yan Bianzhao stand this kind of tiredness? Seeing that he was not shoveling vegetables at all, he pouted his ass and shoveled east and west, and ran a few steps to shovel, like running a horse in the field.

shouted all the time: "Old sister, there is no change of field in this field." ”

"It's all the same, there are many shovelers, which field hasn't been shoveled by people?" Yan Bianxi replied. It's really ingenious, where others have already shoveled, where others can't shovel daylily, Yan Bianxi can shovel vegetables.

She squatted for a long time, shoveling carefully and densely, only to see that her right hand kept shoveling and her left hand kept shaking the soil, and the basket looked full. Only the place she shoveled is really difficult for others to shovel the vegetables, and the partner who shoveled the vegetables with her said: The places you shoveled are as bare as a dog licked.

When Yan Bianzhao wanted to follow Yan Bianxi out, his father didn't let him come out, but his father said that this was what the girl's family did, and Yan Bianzhao insisted on coming out. Anyway, it doesn't matter how much he shovels or how little he shovels, unlike Yan Bianxi, who has to ask his father for less shovels.

Yan Bianzhao didn't know how to shovel vegetables and was impatient, so he simply stopped shoveling and went to the ridge to repair bunkers and dig air-raid shelters.

Yan Bianxi shoveled a basket of vegetables from Fushi and shouted to Yan Bianzhao to go home, Yan Bianzhao saw that the old sister shoveled so much and he felt embarrassed to pad the bottom of the basket, and wanted to ask her for some but was afraid that she would not make a plan, and said to Yan Bianxi: "Old sister, go back early? Go back early, Dad wants you to pull the sawing board again, it's better to play outside for a while." ”

Yan Bianxi heard it and felt that this was the case, as long as she was not free in front of her father's eyes, it was okay to do some housework, but she didn't want to see the board with her father.

"Okay, anyway, I'm done with today's mission, and you can play as long as you want. Yan Bianxi replied.

"You always incite yourself to be dexterous and say that I am stupid, I don't think you are as good as me, or we will fight and compare. "Yan Bian Zhao will be Yan Bian happy.

"It's better than that!" Yan Bianxi agreed to Yan Bianzhao's proposal without thinking. This is also Yan Bian's strong personality that determines her unwillingness to admit defeat in anything, especially in the matter of competing with Yan Bianzhao.

"It can't be compared in vain, in this way, if one person takes out a handful of vegetables and puts them aside, whoever knocks out the shovel and two handfuls of vegetables belongs to him. Yan Bianzhao said.

"I'm afraid you don't have two in the basket, and it won't end up with two hits. Yan Bianxi snorted.

Shoveling is such a betting activity, on each side of the ridge on each side of the ditch erected a fast stone, on the top of the stone horizontal stick, the person stands at a distance of ten feet at one end with a shovel to beat the stick, the defeat of the stick is considered to win. Determine the order by drawing fists.

Yan Bianxi took the lead every time he stroked his fist, but he repeatedly missed, and saw that more than half of the basket of vegetables had arrived in Yan Bianzhao's basket, and it was not early at this time, Yan Bianzhao was not playing with him.

Yan Bianxi was very unhappy and went home with him.

Seeing that Yan Bianxi only had half a basket of wild vegetables, his father immediately stretched his face: "Shoveling such a handful is not enough to stuff the pig's nose and eyes, and a girl's family can't do the work at hand to resist the boy's sweep." ”

"I shoveled the vegetables in his basket, and it was he who set up a shovel (with crooked tricks) to win the vegetables I shoveled. Yan Bianxi distinguished.

"You're still turning your mouth! He didn't snatch it from your basket, he won it by his ability. Even if he proposes to shovel and ask you to be willing! He didn't force you to shovel with him, and he was willing to gamble and lose. Yan Yongnong said.

The next day, when Yan Bianzhao was about to follow Yan Bianxi again, his mother said: "You have to do a serious shovel of vegetables, Tianguang (one can be solved as 'tomorrow', and the other can be solved as 'later') When you kill a pig, the pig's heart and pork kidney will all be eaten for you." ”

On the third day, Yan Yongnong got up early in the morning and sharpened his knife, and Wang Huilan asked, "What are you doing sharpening the pig knife this morning?"

"Kill the pigs!" Yan Yongnong said.

"You want to kill pigs in the next month, do you want to drink pig blood soup?" Wang Huilan thought that Yan Yongnong was joking.

"Didn't you kill a pig today as you said yesterday?"

"Oh no, when did I say yesterday that I wanted you to kill a pig today?

"Look at you eating and not remembering people, didn't you say to your son yesterday, 'When Tianguang killed the pig, the pig's heart and pork kidney were all for you to eat.'" 'What?'

"I'm talking about playing, and you know that I'm coaxing him to make a serious shovel, don't make a fuss about the lack of shoveling vegetables and go home and get training. Wang Huilan explained.

"How can an adult speak in front of a child and not count? Xu Bodhisattva wants to thank the Bodhisattva. What you say is a joke, he can take it as the truth, and he must be looking forward to eating pig's heart and pork kidney! Now you lie and coax him to coax you in the future. This kind of spiritual tooth sacrifice can't be beaten, if you think about it, we will have a lot of things to eat when we are old in the future, and he will only fight the spiritual tooth sacrifice for us. If you blame him, he will have something to say to you. ”

"When it's time to kill the pig, the pig's heart and pork kidney will naturally be eaten by him, and we people don't have such long teeth. It's just that it's not time yet, and I don't mean today when I say 'daylight'!"

"'Skylight' is not the day you spoke, what day is it the day after that?"

"You're not new, you've lived in this place for more than a day or two, and you know what I'm referring to by 'daylight'. Wang Huilan distinguished.

"Yes, I understand that you mean the future by 'Tianguang', but my son doesn't understand, he only knows that today is yesterday's Tianguang. It also makes you learn a lesson to think about when you speak later. Especially in front of the children, don't joke, don't care in front of the children. Only in this way can we educate them well, establish our prestige and win their respect. ”

Wang Huilan was so reluctant to kill the pig that she was still muttering: "There are three cellars of potatoes there, and if there are no pigs to eat, the potatoes will be sacrificed." Not to mention how hard it is to plant the potatoes, but how much effort it takes to bring the potatoes back from the mountains! This pig can grow dozens of catties of meat in a month, and bacon can be eaten several more times next year! Besides, how good it is to eat fresh meat when the pig is killed for the New Year. There are a lot of people coming and going in the first month, and the pig's blood and miscellaneous can be used to promise. ”

"Late killing and early killing is always going to be killed, anyway, this big pig can't stay until next year. If I kill the big pig, I will buy a pig shelf (a half-sized pig) to pick up the trough, and I am afraid that the three cellars of potatoes will not be exhausted? "Whatever Wang Huilan said, Yan Yongnong followed how to crack it, and Wang Huilan was speechless, Yan Yongnong killed the pig that day, took the pig heart and pork kidney, and cooked it for his son.
