"By the way, where did you get these things?" The third aunt pointed to the rice that Zhou Xiaoliu put on the stove and the honeycomb coal in the corner of the stove and asked Zhou Xiaoliu, don't steal it from your mother-in-law, if it is, they will have to be beaten later.

"Aunt Xiuhua got it on credit. Zhou Xiaoliu knew that he had to make it clear, although the big guy would pack up all his things back to his house after cooking, but the honeycomb coal was piled up under the corners of each stove. There is probably a number for ordinary use, but if you don't make it clear, what if someone thinks that they have less coal in the future?

"When my mother was leaving, she told us that if we couldn't get used to eating at my grandfather's house, we would start our own business, and we would go to Aunt Xiuhua on credit for everything we needed, sign the bill for the clear amount, and pay Aunt Xiuhua when she came back. ”

The third aunt was relieved when she heard this, and then she stopped talking and went to work on her stove.

There were more and more people in the big kitchen, and everyone was surprised to see the little Zhou Xiaoliu stepping on a stool and working on the stove, but they accepted it instantly. It is not surprising that the children of the poor are in charge of their own families! It is not surprising that Xiaoliu can work.

As for the dismantling of the gang, it's better not to talk too much. Everyone sweeps the snow in front of his door, and he doesn't care about the frost on the tiles of his house. The words of the predecessors are still reasonable, but if they are not managed well, they will cause a fuss in vain.

As soon as Grandma Zhou entered the big kitchen, Zhou Xiaoliu said to her: "Grandma, you cook less, we will start our own gang in the future." ”

Grandma Zhou opened her mouth, but said nothing. What do you say? Do you want to tell Xiao Liu that she didn't plan to cook their three portions in the first place? The old wife confessed before going out after breakfast: "No matter what, these children have to be disciplined, the mouth of the top elders is just wrong, starve them for two days first, don't cook too much......

If Zhou Xiaoliu knew Grandpa Zhou's words, he would definitely call the old man over and ask him to discipline his son well.

After Zhou Xiaoliu steamed the white rice, he took out half of the pickles from the pickle jar and prepared to take it to the big kitchen to cut. As soon as she arrived at the big kitchen, Zhou Xue, who had been watching the TV series outside and was coming home for dinner, rushed towards her and waved her hand to hit her, but she turned away with a slight move. She silently praised herself in her heart, she is thin and small, she is so flexible!

Zhou Xue saw that Zhou Xiaoliu didn't let herself fight, and ignored herself and walked forward, and suddenly she was stunned for a moment, Nima TV series is not like this, when Princess Nalan beat Bai Yinshuang, Bai Yinshuang didn't tremble with tears but didn't dare to resist at all.

Zhou Xue, who punched the cotton, was even more angry in her heart, she stretched out an index finger to Zhou Xiaoliu, who was already standing on the edge of the stove and cutting pickles, and poked her finger at Zhou Xiaoliu while scolding, "Where did you steal the rice and coal? Hurry up and return it, if you don't give you food, you will be a thief, and I will let the police arrest all three of you and go to ja......il when I turn back."

said this, just like the police station was opened by her family, Zhou Xiaoliu slandered.

When Zhou Xue's finger poked Zhou Xiaoliu's forehead, an extremely disgusted and disgusted emotion rose from Zhou Xiaoliu's heart. She can tolerate Zhou's mother poking her fingers at herself, but it doesn't mean that anyone can. Even if Zhou's mother pokes a hundred times, she will only be helpless.

Zhou Xiaoliu looked at the middle two girl in front of her, and the hand holding the knife tightened, or would she scare her? So she looked at Zhou Xue angrily, and she didn't make a sound, but only put the knife horizontally in front of Zhou Xue, quite a bit of "You say I will fight with you" posture.

"Xue'er, come back!" Grandpa Zhou, who didn't know when he was standing at the door of the big kitchen and looking at it, shouted hurriedly. Zhou Xue is his youngest child and his only daughter, don't let that ominous girl hurt.

Grandpa Zhou looked at Zhou Xiaoliu with an angry face, and said in his heart: "That's right, that's right, this girl is really an ominous ......"

He regretted it very much, he shouldn't have just thought about the food expenses of 800 yuan per person promised by his eldest daughter-in-law, and took over the work of taking care of these children. Why did he forget, Xiaoliu, this girl is ominous, as soon as she was born, she made the late father uneasy.

This time she went to catch bamboo rats in the bamboo bushes, and the bride ghost was also provoked by her, and now it's okay, what if you want two lives to fill it?

……

This morning, Grandpa Zhou stayed in bed until half past eight and didn't get up, anyway, there was no farm work in the winter. After eating Grandma Zhou's reheated breakfast, he went out and prepared to walk around the village as usual.

It's just that today is different from the past, as soon as he went out and turned a corner, he saw Grandpa Jin and a group of other people gathered together, talking about something lively.

He stepped forward and greeted, "Have you eaten?"

The group of people who were talking were interrupted by his voice and turned their eyes to him, but no one replied to him, "Have you eaten?"

Everyone looked at him strangely, and for a while, no one spoke.

After thinking for a while, he guessed: Could it be that they were talking bad about me before?

He thought that apart from the crying of the three children of his eldest son's family last night, he had nothing else to talk about.

When he was considering whether to repeat what he said yesterday, his second cousin asked him mysteriously, "Is yesterday's bamboo rat meat delicious?"

Bamboo rats are not easy to catch, so eating bamboo rats is rarer than eating chicken, duck and fish.

The people in the village, whoever got a rare wild thing, a large number of them, had to send some to the families of acquaintances, not to mention, he was the youngest of his generation, it stands to reason that he had to send a few pieces of meat to each family, but last night his family patronized and ate it for himself.

It turned out that they were accusing themselves of eating alone! Grandpa Zhou, who thought he understood the truth, shook his head and said to everyone: "Make do, it's the same taste as other meat." ”

Grandpa Jin in the crowd replied sourly: "That's bamboo rat meat, can it smell a taste? We smelled it from afar last night." You don't send us some to try. ”

Grandma Jinzi, who was standing next to Grandpa Kaneko, dragged her husband by the hand: "What nonsense, can you eat that thing? Do you dare to eat it? You don't know where it came from? You didn't listen to what Kaneko said...... Her voice gradually became quieter.

Grandpa Zhou was confused when he heard it, where did he get it, it must have been caught from the bamboo bushes, this thing eats bamboo for a living, and it lives in the bamboo forest. There are several pieces of bamboo bushes on the back mountain, and he really doesn't know where Zhou Xiaoliu caught them.

So he cast his questioning eyes on everyone, hoping that someone could tell him, why can't he eat it, don't dare to eat it?

Jin Zi drilled a head out from behind his grandmother and said to Grandpa Zhou: "Xiaoliu caught a bamboo rat in a place where there is a bride's ghost, this morning Da Niu They went to the back mountain before going to school, and also said that they wanted to catch bamboo rats, but they cried and came back and said that there was a ghost, Da Niu was the most scared, and he didn't dare to go to school." ”

When Grandpa Zhou heard it, "What? where you caught it?" was the bamboo bush where his father found the bride's body?

Grandma Jin Zi looked at the stunned Grandpa Zhou and added: "Those few families went to call the soul just now, but after a while, they came down the mountain in a panic, saying that the bamboo had all changed its position and was neatly arranged in two rows, and there were no traces of anyone digging it......"

"I don't know who came out first, saying that maybe the bride ghost was annoyed by the alarm, and specially arranged the bamboo in two rows, indicating that it meant to ask for two lives. ”
