The adults chatted enthusiastically, but the children seemed idle.

The three babies looked at each other and decided to go out of the house to find a playmate.

"Mother, let's go outside to play. After handing each other glances for a long time, it was naturally the youngest Ying Qi who spoke.

"Go, go, go. Zhao Yulan didn't restrain them, waved her hand, and let them go out by themselves.

"Grandma. We went out to play. "I still have to say hello to the master.

"Okay, let's go play with your cousin, cousin, cousin, and a few of them. Zhou Zhishu also nodded.

The three of them ran away.

As soon as I went out, I saw two delicate girls walking over, "Big cousin, second cousin." Fu Yi greeted.

Ying Qi also hurriedly followed.

Wearing a one-color pink shirt, covered with a beige cotton coat, although the clothes are a little old-fashioned, the color also shows that it has been washed repeatedly, but the girl wears this light-colored clothes, it naturally shows the lively atmosphere of spring.

What's more, the two of them are dressed exactly the same, which makes them even more cute.

The two cousins Zhao Xingmei and Zhao Jiangmei are older than Ying Qi and the three of them, the eldest cousin is eight years old, and the second cousin is also six and a half years old, both of them are more sensible ages, and even the eldest cousin can begin to enter the age of being looked at.

"Cousin, cousin. The two girls greeted each other in unison.

"It's been a long time since you've been here. Has my cousin's illness been cured?" Zhao Xingmei spoke steadily and softly.

"It's already good. Ying Qi nodded, "Thank you, cousin, for your concern." ”

"Who is he?" Zhao Jiangmei looked at the strange Xiaobao from the side.

"It's my brother's cousin. Ying Qi said. "He won't speak. ”

"Ah, dumb? Zhao Xingmei and Zhao Jiangmei both felt embarrassed and asked about other people's sore spots.

"It's fine. Ying Qi shook her head and glanced at Xiaobao, who didn't pay attention to them at all.

Who cares about these boring little girls?

"Cousin, is there anything fun in your house?" asked Ying Qi.

"It's fun? No, but there should be a peach on the hillside behind us, but we can't eat it yet, do you want to see it?"

Zhao Xingmei thought about it and shook her head.

"Sister, that little early peach is not ripe, but it is astringent. Do you remember, we found a red fruit last time, but it looks good, so I don't know if we can eat it. But we can take our cousins and cousins to see them. Zhao Jiangmei also tilted her head beside her, as if she was seriously recalling, and then suddenly spoke.

"Well, it's okay anyway. It's not dark yet, let's go on an adventure, it's no fun to stay at home. Ying Qi said, looking at Fu Yi and Xiaobao, both of them nodded. Fu Yi loves to play, while Xiaobao doesn't care at all.

The five of them walked out of the courtyard dam together, passed through a small bamboo forest, and saw a small hillside.

The sisters led the way in front, Ying Qi let Xiaobao lead her, and Fu Yi pressed behind her. The crowd carved a path through the weeds.

The hill is really not high, and it will climb to the top in a while. On the right side of the hill there was a small flat land, and the sisters stopped.

"Here it is, you see, that's it. "In a green meadow, there is a special bunch of leaves. A stem creeps on the ground and stretches out for about a few meters, with a few leaves at intervals. The leaves are dark green, the edges are serrate, and under the bottom of the leaves are small fruits with light red sharp horns, and a small stem is attached to the bottom of the fruit, and the fruit head is pointed and bright red.

"What kind of fruit is this? not like a snake fruit. Fu Yi looked at it and said with some doubts.

"The snake fruit isn't that big. "Zhao Jiangmei is more lively than Zhao Xingmei. The so-called snake fruit is snakeberry, which also grows in grass, but it is a shady place, and generally grows under mulberry trees. Red is the size of a thumb. According to the adults, snakes are most fond of spitting on them, and at one time they are poisonous plants. Peasant children from an early age were taught not to eat. Of course, snakeberries are actually highly medicinous. But there is no need to explain anything to these children.

Ying Qi stepped forward with some excitement. Looking at the bright red color, that familiar appearance, it's a strawberry. It's still light red and not fully ripe, but it's a strawberry. This is the only fruit I've seen so far.

After all, it was spring when she passed through, and at the beginning of the growth of all things, in this time and space that relied on natural ripening, where could there be fruits in early spring.

Xiaobao frowned, feeling that he should have seen it somewhere, but it didn't look like it. Strawberries were relatively rare in this era, one was not ripe, and the other was a man, and he rarely ate these things.

"It's edible. But you still have to wash it well, and if it grows on the ground, it will be crawled around by a lot of insects. Ying Qi stepped forward and said.

"Brother, you go and help me find a big leaf, can we pick some back?" Fu Yi nodded. Now he trusts his sister unconditionally.

"Cousin, have you ever seen this thing?" Zhao Jiangmei stepped forward and asked.

"Well, I've eaten on our mountain. But then it was gone. "Ying Qi never blushes when she lies. It just so happens that Fu Yi is not there, and she is even younger than before, even if the children of the poor are in charge early, it is impossible for a three-year-old child to climb the mountain and dig wild vegetables or something.

Little Bao Nunu mouth, he doesn't believe it, but he doesn't understand how this little girl knows so many things.

"Then let's pick it. Zhao Jiangmei said that she would move. Pulled my sister and Ying Qi and started picking strawberries.

"Be careful, just pinch off the stem, don't break it, otherwise it won't wash off on your clothes. Ying Qi commanded.

When Fu Yi found a big leaf, a big leaf, I don't know where he found it, it was the size of a small basin. The men put the strawberries in the leaves.

"Okay, don't pick it, the rest is not ripe yet, so I can't eat it at all. "The rest are still green and small, and it will probably take a few days before they ripen.

"Cousin, brother, I want to get some stems back and see if they can be planted next to our house, okay?" Ying Qi looked at the remaining strawberries, a little greedy. The ones I picked today are not ripe in the first place, so I guess they are not very tasty.

"Absolutely. It's not who planted it, let's dig it for you. "Zhao Xingmei is a generous girl.

"Cousin, I'll just come. Xiaobao also came. Fu Yi volunteered to dig up strawberry roots, and by the way, he pulled Xiaobao who was standing aside to watch the excitement. Xiaobao rolled his eyes, but still stepped forward to help him dig strawberry roots.

So when I went back, several people had strawberries and strawberry rhizomes in their hands, and they felt that they had picked a lot of things and generally entered the yard.

Two tables have been set up in the courtyard, one for men and one for women and children. There are already a few dishes on the table.

"A bunch of troublemakers, what's going to be a mess again. The little uncle came over and said with a smile.

"The eldest uncle, the second uncle, the younger uncle. "The children immediately greeted the elders who had not met just now.

"Good boy. Several elders also returned the salute and smiled and spoke.

"Cousin, cousin. Cousin Zhao Zhengqiang and cousin Zhao Hongmei also came over to greet the second uncle.

"Cousin, cousin. Ying Qi and Fu Yi also hurriedly replied.

"Cousin, what are you doing with this pick-up?" Zhao Zhengqiang was quite interested in eating.

"Eat. Fu Yi said. "But it's going to be washed. ”

"Then my cousin washed it and I'll eat it. Zhao Zhengqiang's words made everyone quite speechless.

Ying Qi pulled Zhao Xingmei and the two of them ignored him anymore and went to the water tank of the courtyard dam to wash strawberries.

There are still quite a lot of strawberries picked back, and there are so many people in the Zhao family, one person is still no problem.

Ying Qi and her two cousins washed it and put it on two small plates.

Zhao Zhengqiang skewered around them, so he stole his mouth first and tasted it first.

"Cousin, give me one, give me one. "While still coquettish.

However, Zhao Zhengqiang looks like Fang Guihua seven points, and Ying Qi felt unpleasant when she saw his sharp teeth, and she didn't relent.

"No, there were so many just now. Wait for Ha to serve one person to the table. Ying Qi righteously refused.

After speaking, he tilted his head and said, "Anyway, your father and mother will have it when they arrive, you can let your mother's share eat for you." "There's a ghostly idea.

Zhao Zhengqiang didn't care what she said, he just wanted to eat fresh. Still following her step by step.

The strawberries were served on the table, and the dishes were basically ready. And when they were humble to each other, they set out.

One table for the men, one table for the women and one for the children.

The men were discussing the things in the farmland, and the women were discussing Zhao Huilan's affairs enthusiastically. After all, the man is coming tomorrow, and the elders on the woman's side can also look at the man.

At this time, Ying Qi finally saw today's heroine, her little aunt Zhao Huilan, who came late.

At the age of fifteen, he still belongs to a child in Yingqi's world. But here, it's long overdue to get married. I talked about the two families before, but because the conditions were very poor, I didn't see each other in the end, and my grandmother Zhou Zhishu refused.

Zhao Huilan is very delicate. To be honest, among the people Ying Qi has come into contact with so far, except for two slaughter rooms, there is no fat person. It is estimated that it has something to do with the poverty of the family.

What's more, the people here eat two meals, pay off the soup and water, and the chaff is crooked, which is close to the state of not having enough food and clothing, where can they grow fat and strong, fat and plump.

Dressed in a beige thin shirt, small lantern trouser legs, and big eyes, she looks very sweet. Speaking is also refreshing, and she should be a very neat big girl.

But after all, it was about her family, so she came out to say hello, and then went back to her room to eat after serving the meal.

Grandma Zhou Zhishu arranged tomorrow's affairs while eating.

After eating, several uncles were responsible for cleaning up the hall, and guests came to the door, usually in the most solemn hall of the family. Therefore, it needs to be sprayed carefully.

The yard and room at home must be cleaned again, and it can't be left everywhere when others come. And when the guests come, they can't just eat breakfast and dinner as usual, and they need to add a meal at noon to show respect for the man.

The eldest aunt and the second aunt were in charge of everything in the stove house, and the man had already notified the six people who would come. Therefore, prepare meals for three tables.

Grandmothers Zhou Zhishu and Zhao Yulan were in charge of receiving guests. The most relaxing ones are the little aunt and the children.

The little aunt is responsible for dressing herself, and when the time comes, she will come out to serve a cup of tea and let the man take a look at each other.

As for the children, of course, they are all soy sauce. But in order to show that the family style is good, it is not allowed to run around. Even his three-year-old cousin Zhao Zhengqiang was repeatedly admonished. And whoever can help has to help the adults do things.

After it was set, he hurriedly arranged a room for Zhao Yulan's family. The second cousin and cousin both live with their parents, the cousin lives with their parents, the eldest cousin and Yingqi sleep next to their grandmother, Zhao Yulan lives with her little aunt Zhao Huilan, and Fu Yi and Xiaobao live in their cousin's room.

Although it is a girl's room, the people of the peasant family can't accommodate it too much, and the boundary between men and women is naturally not so tight, so it is impossible to let Yingqi and a few people sleep in the firewood room.

It was late in this way, and everyone washed and slept, after all, there was something to do tomorrow.
