When the dried fish was almost sunburned, the third aunt and Uncle Li came to pick up Brother Wen. At noon that day, the second aunt and two children were called up, and the family of eleven people gathered together for a meal.

Grandpa Chen took some dried fish and cut them into pieces, cutting those small fish that had been sunburned, and the big fish were to be kept for important days such as festivals and New Year's holidays. Stew with salted sauce and put a hood on top of the rice and steam it.

At noon, a few people ate, and the second aunt and the third thought that the dried fish with chili sauce was very delicious, and they only ate it with chopsticks and chopsticks.

When leaving, Grandpa Chen loaded two sun-dried fish for the second and third aunts, two tastes, the same one.

Two days later, Granny Chen was going to rush to the scene, and she happened to pass by her aunt's house, so she brought the dried fish with her. This time, Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin followed, this is the first time Xiaoxi has been reborn to catch up, and I am really a little excited.

I got up before dawn, and when I set off after breakfast, it was dawning, and I could probably see the road clearly. When I arrived at my aunt's house, the genius was bright, and my aunt was eating with a bowl.

"Mom, why are you here?" Chen Xiu was eating with a bowl in front of the stove door, when he saw his old lady coming in from the door with two nephews, and hurriedly stood up to greet him. "Xiaoxi and Binbin are also here, have you eaten? Mom, you should sit down quickly. ”

Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin hurriedly greeted each other and said that they had eaten.

Granny Chen waved her hand, took out the dried fish in the basket on her back and put it on the table next to her, "Don't sit, we are going to catch up today, it just so happened that your father went to the reservoir to get the fish back a few days ago, and they were salted and dried. ”

Chen Xiu saw that the two fish on the table were not small, each of them had to be four or five catties!

Seeing that his wife was leaving, Chen Xiu hurriedly ate the rice in the bowl in two bites, "Mom, Mom, wait for me, I'll go too." Then she threw the bowl into the pot twice and washed it, and picked up the pig food bucket on the side to feed the pigs.

In just ten minutes, a few people went out.

When the group arrived at the field, the sun had just poked its head out, and several people went straight to their destination - the blacksmith shop, Granny Chen planned to buy two big hoes and two small hoes, Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin should help the family with the work, and two sickles. These were the main purposes of this rush, and after buying them, a few people slowly turned around the street.

Well, I bought seeds here, there were watermelon seeds, thinking of the deliciousness of the watermelon in the summer, Xiaoxi swallowed his saliva, pinched the crumpled few dollars in his pocket, and planned to buy some later.

Hey, looking at the person who came over from the other side, it's so familiar, "Third Aunt ......" Xiaoxi shook her hand and shouted to the person, "Mother-in-law, look, it's Third Aunt, she is also here to catch up." ”

Hearing the shouting, it was very familiar, Chen Ping looked up and saw that her mother, eldest sister and younger brother's two children were watching her not far away, so she quickly walked two steps to meet her.

"Mom, eldest sister, you're also here. Chen Ping was very surprised and very happy, her mother had seen her two days ago, but the eldest sister hadn't seen her for some time.

"Well, why are you here today?"

"I want to buy a dress for Wenwa, and I will go around. ”

"Oh, why didn't he come along?"

"He's playing at his grandfather's house, and Xiaoxi and Binbin are going to play for a while. Chen Ping's house is in Lijia Village, not far from here, and it is only about 30 minutes away by foot, but her in-laws live on the street, and it is only a few minutes walk from here, so they asked Xiaoxi if they wanted to play.

Xiaoxi was not familiar with the two old men, and it was embarrassing to go to someone's house, so she rejected the third aunt. Chen Ping didn't persuade much, nodded, didn't talk about it, and joined the shopping team of several people.

I went to the vegetable market and bought a few catties of fresh meat, and bought some ginger and garlic, which were really cheap at this time. Then the group went to the place where they bought clothes.

This bazaar is not very big, and the clothes are basically sold with stalls on both sides of the street, and the clothes are stacked on top of each other on the wooden shelves in front of you, and some are relatively expensive, so they are hung on the shelves erected behind you with hangers.

Looking at the fancy clothes in front of you, this is too exaggerated.

Both aunts were scrambling to buy clothes for their two nephews, so they simply did one for each of them. The third aunt bought a small white and green plaid shirt for Xiaoxi, and trimmed a daisy-style flower with pink thread on her left chest, which was very refreshing and clean. The aunt saw that the shirt was very good-looking, and also chose a shirt for Chen Yubin, black and white checkered. Then the two teamed up to buy a set of chiffon short-sleeved and wide-legged trousers for Granny Chen, which is very cool and walks with the wind.

After buying the things that should be bought, and the street was almost gone, Chen Ping took a few people to the grocery store on the side, ready to drink tea and chat for a while, and felt that the two children would be bored, so they gave Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin a dollar each, and let them buy candy to eat by themselves, play outside for a while, and repeatedly told them not to run too far, and the three of them went in and sit.

With Chen Yubin, he went straight to the place where he bought seeds, the boss was an uncle in his forties, Xiaoxi saw that there were a lot of seeds on his stall, some of them knew, and some of them didn't recognize them.

He stepped forward and pinched the seed, pretending not to know and asked very confusedly, "Boss, what kind of seed is this?"

It's just a small stall, selling some seeds, a little unusual, everyone will join in the fun, this is the first time to be called the boss, the uncle is very excited, enthusiastically explained for Xiaoxi: "This is watermelon seeds, you have a big fruit watermelon seeds." Pointing to the side, he introduced: "This is a black-skinned watermelon seed, and this is a Xinjiang watermelon seed." ”

"Is it sweet? Can we grow it here?"

"Sweet, it's sweet, it's not sweet, you come to me. We can grow it here, but it's smaller. ”

"How do you sell that. ”

"It's all the same price, three dollars and twenty pieces. ”

Touching a few dollars in his pocket, Xiaoxi decided to abandon his timidity and bargain with the boss.

Licking his lips that were a little dry due to nervousness, "Boss, in this way, I will buy ten of them for a total of three yuan, how about it?"

Because of the small business, the uncle was not happy to hear it. "That's not good, I took a lot of effort to get the seeds back, you can't do it. ”

Xiaoxi decided to use the killer feature, "Boss~ You can do it, I'm just curious and want to buy some and go back to see it." ”

"No, I can't. But looking at the little girl's starry eyes in front of him, the uncle was still a little loose.

"Boss, you can sell it to me, I just want to buy it back and plant it, I don't know if I can grow it, this is still with the money I used to buy sugar, and I don't see many people to buy your watermelon seeds, rather than you put it away when the time comes, it's better to sell me some cheaply." A sentence poked at the boss's pain point, glared at Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi scolded the younger brother next to him, signaled to him, Chen Yubin understood at once, and pouted, "Please, boss." ”

Xiaoxi hurriedly stepped up, "Boss, you're the best." ”

"Alas~" There was no way, and he said angrily: "Okay, okay, it's for you, it's for you, I'll put it up for you." After that, he wrapped the seeds in paper and handed them to the stream.

Xiaoxi took it and grinned, "Thank you, boss." He took out the money in his pocket and gave it to the uncle.

The uncle's eyes widened and pointed at her, "Aren't you rich, and you're still bargaining with me?"

Xiaoxi hurriedly put the money and seeds in his pocket, blinked his eyes, and said innocently, "This is what I want to buy candy for my brother." "It means you don't rob it.

When the uncle saw her arrogant appearance, he was speechless, so he had to turn his head and pretend not to see them, indicating that they could go.

After buying the seeds, Xiaoxi took Chen Yubin around, and she was very familiar with the street. I bought a pack of rice candy and a few packs of spicy strips, and then went back to find Granny Chen.

After a while, several people said goodbye to Chen Ping, and rushed home while the sun was not the hottest.

When he was about to arrive at Chen Xiu's house, the sun was so hot that people were dizzy, so Chen Xiu asked a few people to go to his house, and then go back after the sun went down in the afternoon.

Seeing that the faces of the two children were tanned, Granny Chen was very distressed and agreed. When Chen Xiu passed by her in-laws' house, she took her two children back.

After arriving home, after resting for a while, Chen Xiu hurried to cook, and several people hadn't eaten lunch yet. At this time, it was already past the meal, so I cooked a pot of sauerkraut noodles. Xiaoxi ate two bites, drank half a bowl of soup and stopped eating, one was too hot, and his favorite sauerkraut couldn't save his appetite, and the other was that Xiaoxi usually didn't eat noodles in the morning and noon, so he didn't have much appetite.

I walked a lot today, I was too tired, and when I got up from a nap in Xiaoxi, it was already the sun in the west, and it was a lot cooler. In the vegetable garden in front, I found Granny Chen and Aunt Chen, who were pulling pigweed.

"Creek, up?"

"Well, auntie. ”

Xiaoxi saw that the sun was not so hot, why didn't the mother-in-law tell them to get up and go home, and she left here to talk about pigweed with the aunt but didn't ask, which made the aunt feel as if she didn't want to stay at her house.

Seeing that the two of them had to work for a while, it was not so sunny now, but it was still hot, and the creek went back. When I went back, Chen Yubin also got up, and was playing with my eldest (cousin) brother and second (cousin) brother on the street. Yes, don't be bored, it's like this every time, and the brothers are willing to play with Chen Yubin every time than with her, because she is a girl, and they are big men. Cut, I don't want to play with you young people, sister, play by herself. Turn your head and go inside to watch TV.

Xiaoxi saw that the sun had set outside, so why didn't her mother-in-law tell her to go home with her brother?

At this time, Granny Chen and Chen Xiu carried a load of pigweed to the pigsty house. In the creeks, they all have to build pigsty for pigs, and if they want to build houses for people, they also have to build walls and tiles, and they are all very spacious, and they have to put pigweed or something in them.

As soon as Chen Xiu went to the middle of the street, he saw Xiaoxi standing on one side, and the two sons were playing with Binbin on the other side, so they crossed their hands on their waists, "Xiaofeng Xiaobo, why don't you take Xiaoxi to play, huh?"

Cut, who wants to play with a crybaby, secretly rolled his eyes, Ye Xiaofeng said casually: "Oh~" He didn't refuse, but he didn't take the initiative to ask Xiaoxi to join them.

Xiaoxi understood that they wanted to refuse but didn't dare, and when they remembered the past, they couldn't help but laugh secretly.
