Chapter 40: A quarrel

Grandma shook her head: "I didn't hear your uncle say it, and I don't agree with it either-Xiaoju, you are a big child, you can understand it: we just broke up, we don't have much rations, you see our family eats porridge these days......"

"It doesn't matter, I also eat porridge at home! I think my uncle's porridge is sweet, better than mine, my uncle's house still has lard, my family's cooking is a handful of hemp into it, the oil stars are gone, it's unpalatable to death, I am willing to live in my uncle's house!"

Xiao Man was speechless: Hemp is a good thing, stupid, after a few years, it is a very expensive health care product, a local ace souvenir, hemp oil is actually very delicious, you don't know how to get it, and you don't have the patience to get it, it's unpalatable!

Grandma talked to Xiaoju for a while, but she couldn't convince the girl, and Grandma had no choice but to stop talking, and asked Xiaoman to help her go to the yard to sit, and took a needlework basket out to make needlework. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

That's right, grandma is doing needlework, her eyes can't see, she can grope for a needle and needle slowly, if the sewing is not good, she can disassemble it and start over, anyway, she has time, she used to sew and mend her husband's clothes by herself in the Mo family's courtyard, and if she needs to thread the needle, she will call the children to come, this does not need strength or time, no one will be embarrassed to refuse.

Grandma was engrossed in needlework, so she didn't have time to take care of people, Xiaoman entered the room and took off the sheets and pillow towels, and took them to soak and wash, Liang Xiaoju blocked her at the door, and said with red eyes: "Why can't you tolerate me?"

Xiao Man looked at her: "Get out of the way, I'll soak the sheets before talking, so as not to wash and dry, and I can't sleep at night!"

Liang Xiaoju refused: "I'm still here, you can take off the sheets and wash them...... I'm going to tell my grandma, you treat me slowly, dislike me, and drive me away!"

Xiao Man laughed angrily: "I dislike you? If you want to say this, I really regret it, I regret letting you sleep in the same bunk with me! We can't share much grain, and most of the rice jars are empty, because you are here, you have to keep a dry meal every day, and all the lard residues stored in the oil tank are fished out and put in the vegetables, and you can eat such oily and watery meals every day in your house? Look at your little face, look at your skin, come to live in my house for a few days, you have become white and delicate, is this called treating you slowly? Liang Xiaoju, you have to touch your conscience when you speak, if you provoke adults to quarrel because of you, I promise, you will never have a chance to enter my door in the future!"

Liang Xiaoju rubbed the corners of her clothes with both hands, glared at Xiao Man and said: "This is my uncle's house! You are just picked up by your cousin, you are not the Mo family!"

"Then are you? My name is Mo Xiaoman, what is your name? Is your surname Mo? Are you registered in the name of your grandfather and grandmother? So, Liang Xiaoju, go back to your Liang family honestly!"

Liang Xiaoju cried angrily: "I am, I am grandma...... Grandma is my uncle and sister, and we are the ones who are close! What qualifications do you have to drive me out?"

"Of course I'm qualified, but have I driven you?"

"Yes! You must have said bad things about me to my aunt and let my aunt chase me away!"

"Okay, that's me going to chase you!"

Xiao Man squeezed Liang Xiaoju aside: "I didn't want to drive you away, many people in the family are very lively, you don't know how to be a person, I don't talk to you for more than half a sentence!"

"Why can't I be a man anymore? Tell me clearly!

"I think to myself, I'm younger than you, I know it, why don't you understand?" Xiao Man also played tricks, holding the sheets and walking out.

Liang Xiaoju chased Xiao Man and did not give up, the two went out and walked through the yard, noisily and shouted to the well, Grandma looked up in the direction of the sound, shook her head helplessly and sighed: Look, it's still a quarrel, the old man thinks too simply, thinking that he can get along with a child, his own Xiaoman is kind, other people's children may not be good!

While making noise, Liang Xiaoju and Xiao Man rushed to wash the sheets, Xiao Man but let her go, anyway, she was idle, so she simply went to wash Grandma's sheets together, I was worried that the bamboo pole was not enough to dry, and I wanted to keep it for tomorrow to wash it, and I would pull a rope in the yard.

It was almost noon, all the things were washed and dried, and the lunch was cooked, and Ah Gong entered the door with a basket of herbs on his back and a dry wood with a thick head on his shoulder.

Xiao Man hurriedly ran to pick up the back basket, Liang Xiaoju also followed, wanting to take the wood, Ah Gong said: "You can't do this, it's alpine wood, calm down, wait for it to be split to make firewood, it can be burned for a long time!"

Ah Gong carried the wood and threw it on the side of the house, Xiao Man took a basin of water and put it on the stone platform to ask Ah Gong to wash his face, Liang Xiaoju went to turn over the back basket, and shouted in surprise: "Ah, gray rabbit!

Ah Gong smiled and nodded: "It's alive, but it's lame, maybe it fell into a trap set by someone else, and it escaped again, and it was jumping onto the mountain road, so I caught it!"

Xiao Man also ran to touch the rabbit, and laughed: "Ah Gong is so lucky!"

Liang Xiaoju clapped her hands: "Okay, we have rabbit meat to eat tonight!"

Grandma came out of the kitchen and asked, "Is this rabbit fat, how many pounds does it have?"

Ah Gong hurriedly leaned over: "It has to weigh six or seven catties, I touched it, the meat is quite thick." Wife, you haven't eaten rabbit meat for a long time, have you? I'll make it stewed later, and we'll have a tooth sacrifice as a family!"

Grandma had no expression on her face: "No need, tie up the rabbit, you can take it with you later, and send Xiaoju home!"

Ah Gong was stunned for a moment, turned his head, and saw Liang Xiaoju's eyes red, his mouth flattened, and he cried: "Uncle, Uncle and Xiaoman want to drive me away!"

"Did you do something wrong? make your uncle angry?" asked Ah Gong.

"No, I didn't do anything! I got up early in the morning, for no reason, Xiao Man treated me with a nose that was not a nose and eyes that were not eyes, and my aunt also disliked me and wanted to drive me home!"

Ah Gong looked at Xiao Man, and then at Grandma, Xiao Man was angry: "Liang Xiaoju! You quarreled with me, my grandma didn't get involved, you touched your conscience and spoke, how did my grandma dislike you and drive you away?"

Liang Xiaoju stretched out her hand, her face was covered with tears, and she whimpered and was extremely aggrieved: "She personally said that she didn't agree with me to stay and wanted me to go home, isn't this just disgusting me and driving me away?"

"You ......"

Xiao Man didn't say anything, Grandma waved her hand: "Okay, okay, it's true, I said I didn't agree, and I also said that your grandfather will send Xiaoju home today!"

He said in the direction of Ah Gong's station: "Old man, Xiao Ju asked you to stay here to study, but you didn't tell me, I didn't agree, we are old, Xiao Man has not been able to afford it, where can I afford Xiao Ju?"

Ah Gong sighed with a sigh: "I also saw that the two girls were of the same age, and they could have something to say together, so I casually agreed that day, and I didn't think too much about it...... Okay, eat, eat, and send Xiaoju home after eating!"

Liang Xiaoju cried even louder: "Uncle, I'm not leaving! Grandma will scold me again when I go back...... I want to study in this village, and the people in our village have to go far and wide to school......"
