Jiang Xuehua said goodbye and went home at the gate of the courtyard, Xiao Man and Qiu Yan grabbed her more than a dozen fruits, Jiang Xuehua was not polite, and happily hugged her back.

When Xiao Man and Qiu Yan entered the courtyard, they heard several greetings: "Xiao Man, are you back?"

"Xiao Man, long time no see!"

"Qiu Yan, where did you go just now?"

"Yo, so many fruits were picked in the medicine garden, right? Oh, I knew we would go over together to help!"

As he spoke, four or five girls and young men came over, reached out and took the fruit basket on Xiao Manqiuyan's arm, and sent it directly into the living room, shouting with a smile: "Milk, look at this fruit, how fresh and rare, this is what grows in the medicine garden, last time I came to help with the work, I saw it, knowing that we were coming, Xiaoman and Qiuyan also went to pick it to entertain us!"

Xiao Man was speechless, Qiu Yan pouted and said, "It's not to entertain you, we have to squeeze juice to make drinks and drink it ourselves!"

Xinghua walked over from the kitchen and patted Qiu Yan on the back: "Okay, just pick the fruit after eating, if you don't have it, you will provoke a lot of gossip, and if you quarrel again, do you want to make grandpa and grandma angry?"

Qiu Yan shook her head, twisted her body and muttered in a low voice: "I just don't like them, I bring a large army every time I come, and I don't know that I think the door-to-door fight is coming." If you want to go, you have to leave and everyone has to take something to go out, how much of our family has enough for them?"

Apricot Blossom: "......"

looked at Xiao Man helplessly: "Look at this little housekeeper, the adults didn't say anything, she stared carefully." ”

Xiao Man smiled: "She's right, of course you have to take care of your own home, otherwise you have to wait for people to vacate it?" To tell you the truth, when you haven't come back yet, I am staring at it like Qiu Yan, and I still spend my heart to make it bad, otherwise Ah Gong will have to accept Liang Xiaoju and Liang Yongyong as grandchildren, and may also accept Aunt Hua's grandmother's youngest son and daughter-in-law. Why does Liang Xiaoju always don't deal with me? That's the enmity he made at that time. It's good that there are autumn geese taking over now!"

Qiu Yan rolled her eyes: I don't want to take this class, okay? It's really too good to talk at home, and no one appreciates me when I'm tired, and I think I'm a child with a careful eye!

Seeing Qiu Yan walk into the kitchen with a congested face, Xiao Man and Xinghua couldn't help but be happy.

Xinghua looked at the girls and boys who were standing under the pear tree peeling fruits and eating, and said softly: "Grandma Shangling Village and Aunt Ahua from Xiancao Village are here again today! Grandma Grandma brought a total of eleven people this time, two cousins, two cousins, one cousin, and six cousins and sisters. Liang Xiaoju also came, ran upstairs, and was 'visiting' room by room, she did this every time, and the visit was endless. ”

Xiao Man frowned: "Liang Xiaoju likes to rummage things very much, she has lived with me before, she will definitely go to my room......"

"I've locked your room, here's the key. Xinghua took out the key and handed it to Xiao Man, and her tone was very helpless: "The countryside is like this, don't pay attention to it, relatives like to walk around when they come, and they go into the room to rest without saying hello, and they are afraid of offending, anyway, there are many empty rooms upstairs, and the guests come to see them at will, and you remember to lock your room when you go out in the future." ”

Xiao Man took the key and said thank you, her room is not a forbidden area, but she really doesn't like to trespass without asking, and she understands Liang Xiaoju, so it's strange if she doesn't turn over her own things when she goes in.

"It's not even the Chinese New Year, the eldest aunt brought so many people, and that Aunt Ah Hua also came, what are they going to do?"

Xinghua replied: "Who knows? Grandma said decently, saying that it was spread from outside: Our medicinal herb garden on the mountain is recruiting! So they came, and Aunt Ah Hua from Xiancao Village also brought people, a total of twelve on both sides, all of whom wanted to enter the medicinal herb garden as workers. The eldest aunt and grandmother also said that the two cousins were very clever, one graduated from high school and the other graduated from junior high school, and they had a culture that could be used as a big use, and the medicinal herb garden bought a car, and just asked Ah Gong to take the money to send them to the city to learn to drive. ”

Xiao Man secretly thought that the eldest aunt and grandmother would plan as always, and asked, "Does that need to recruit people?"

Although the white hat medicinal herb plantation is very large, it has not been fully cultivated, but Ah Gong and Ah Dad have a plan, when the medicine garden was first built, Shaojun sent seven veterans, they eat and live in the mountains, and rarely go down the mountain at ordinary times, they are very capable and take extra responsibility to guard the medicine garden, if there are any formal workers, there are only a few of them, and they will not recruit any more people at present. Seasonal workers are recruited at any time, most of them want to work, usually Grandpa and Abba only recruit people from their own village, sometimes at the request of the school, those easier jobs that do not require a lot of effort are handed over to students to support work-study, so we are not in a hurry at all and do not need to recruit workers. ”

"What are the aunts and grandmothers?"

"I guess it's a guess. It's okay, just come to a relative's house to take a walk and have fun, my mother went to the vegetable garden to cut vegetables, I boiled water here by the way, Jiang Junlin went to catch a few chickens and ducks to kill, and then asked him to ride a bicycle to the mine to buy a few catties of pork, and wait for Grandpa and Abba to come back and have a meal together, explain clearly, and send them back. ”

Xiao Man nodded, of course the guests should be entertained, at least get a meal, but the way of being a guest is really scary, and they come several times a year.

As he was talking, the iron door clanged, and when he saw that it was Dazhi, Dapeng and Gu Shaoqin, they were back, and a few and a half guys were full of joy, and they shouted when they entered the door: "Come and see, come and see, we have found a hare nest, and we have hit four fat rabbits at once! There are also many wild eggs, and a pangolin!"

When the young people eating fruit under the pear tree heard this, they suddenly ran over, surrounded Dazhi and a few, excitedly fiddling with those hares and pangolins, and tsk, an older young man smiled and shouted at Xinghua and Xiaoman: "Hurry up and boil the water, and get these wild games immediately, just add vegetables and vegetables!"

Gu Shaoqin was a little confused, why did so many people suddenly appear? Dazhi and Dapeng recognized a few of these people, the smile on their faces faded, they dealt with them a few words, and threw down the wild things in their hands for them to admire, the brothers pulled Gu Shaoqin and ran to the kitchen door, Xinghua and Xiaoman took out the basin, scooped hot water and asked them to wash their hands and faces first, take a breath and eat something to cushion the mat before taking a bath.

The water in the pot happened to be boiling, and Xinghua urged Dazhi Dapeng to hurry up and drink a bowl of porridge, and slaughtered and cleaned up the hares with his hands, and stewed and fried them for a while.

Xiao Man told Dazhi Dapeng not to worry, just sit and eat, she pointed to the young man outside the kitchen who was judging the game: "There are so many old watches, they can do it." ”

Xinghua was still embarrassed: "They are guests, and they usually don't do anything." ”

"Don't worry, I'll go and tell them to be able to do it, everyone collects firewood and the flame is high, and they can eat game quickly when they work together!"
