A diary (I)
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the spring and autumn have long changed from spring shirts and trousers to summer shorts, which are shorts, that is, the trousers are a little shorter than the previous trousers, which can expose the feet and necks, and the summer shirt also exposes a small half of the cuffs. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and Huzi their gowns are completely different from most of their arms, after all, this is ancient, not as open as modern times.
Today, Chunqiu didn't take Huzi to the back mountain to dig up Chinese herbs, because Yang Li asked her to go to the backyard to pull out the green vegetables that were too old to eat and give them to the chickens.
Two days ago, there were a few chicken sellers in their village, and Yang Li thought that her chickens had eaten a lot this year, and she wanted to kill them during the New Year, so she bought 20 chicks, 16 hens and 4 roosters from the merchant.
The newly bought chicks are still too small, not as big as the palm of Chunqiu's hand, and Yang Li is not worried about putting them together with those grown hens, for fear that those old hens will crush the chicks to death if they are not careful.
For the sake of these twenty chicks, Yang Li can be described as a hard worker, and finally decided to put them together separately, waiting for them to grow out of the tail.
In order to place these chicks, Yang Li also specially asked Yang Weibai to make a small cage for them, and a lid was woven with leaves to prevent the chicks from popping out.
"Gurgle... "Chunqiu carried a basket on one arm, and a large handful of greens in the other hand, shouting the signal to feed in his mouth, and then threw a handful of greens into the chicken rack, because of the chickens, now these old hens at home are all about Spring and Autumn, and the first thing Spring and Autumn does every morning is to pick vegetables from the backyard and then run to the chicken rack in the front yard and throw them to the chickens inside.
Looking at the hens running around in front of her and competing with each other for food, Chunqiu looked up at the blue sky, and sighed, when will she grow up!
Chunhua walked out of the West House, and saw Chunqiu with a listless head on the side of the chicken rack, I don't know what I thought, I hurriedly ran a few steps, and patted Chunqiu's shoulder, scaring Chunqiu into a clever way, but Chunhua was amused by Chunqiu and laughed, "Third sister, what are you doing?" I'm laughing to death, hahaha... So cowardly... Hahaha"
"......" little brat, Chunqiu looked at Chunhua who was smiling and couldn't close her mouth and said in her heart, you still play such a childish game, and dare to laugh at me, hum, next time I won't give you something to eat, Chunqiu is also arrogant.
Chunhua laughed enough, then remembered her purpose, and hurriedly leaned on Chunqiu's ear and said, "Third sister and third sister, let's go play together" Chunhua finished speaking, seeing that Chunqiu next to her didn't react, and was still feeding the chickens on the side, Chunhua puffed out her cheeks, stretched out her hand and stabbed Chunqiu's waist, pulled Chunqiu's arm and whispered, "Go, go, it's fun, third sister, I heard that the fish in the river have been washed down recently because of the water."
When Chunqiu heard Chunhua's words, he looked back at Chunhua's face that believed me, and said in a low voice, "Really? But my mother didn't let me go to the river, saying that it was water, the water was big, and I was afraid of washing me away" Spring and Autumn thought of the first two days, because there was a lot of rain in Yangjia Village this year, so two days ago, the upstream of Yangjia Village suddenly washed down a stream of water, which directly washed away most of the reeds by the river, fortunately, when the flood came down at night, Yangjia Village was sleeping, no one went into the water, if it was daytime... When Chunqiu thought of those children by the river, the consequences were really unimaginable.
After the flood, there are certain benefits, the first thing is to wash down a lot of fish and shrimp, and when the flood recedes, the people of Yangjia Village will hold the basin or carry the bucket every day, and run to the river one by one.
Gu's had been there several times before, and the fish he brought back were several catties of fish, like carp, grass carp, catfish, and white fish, and there were many kinds of white fish, including some freshwater shrimp, and they all wanted to try it when they saw it, but Yuan had already warned Huzi and Chunqiu that they would not let them go to the river.
"What are you afraid of, my mother is not at home, my father agreed, and the eldest brother is going too, when the time comes, you and the second aunt will have a good talk, let's go together, the second aunt will not let you go" Chunhua looked at this is a trivial matter, "Third sister, do you want to go or not, if you don't go, I'll go"
Chunqiu had already been tempted to hear Chunhua say this, and now Chunhua asked, how can there be any reason not to go, "Go, go, I'll go" Chunqiu nodded again and again, "I'll go and talk to my mother, my mother is in the house, you wait a while" How can Chunqiu not go, and Yang Chunjun has gone, then they must all go, if she goes with her, Yuan will definitely agree.
"Hurry up, I'm still in a hurry" Chunhua shouted at Chunqiu's back, and it was Chunqiu's faster speed that responded to Chunhua.
"Mother, mother, I want to go to the river with my second sister to play" Before the Spring and Autumn people arrived, the voice came.
"What? No, how dangerous it is, if you don't go, you just stay at the door" Yuan was removing the quilt in the house, and when he heard Chunqiu's words, he refused directly without thinking about it.
"Mother, it's not the two of us, there are big brothers and sisters, besides, it's been a few days, the flood has already receded, how can there be any danger" Chunqiu said indifferently, her mother is just worrying, how can there be so many dangerous things.
"Brother Jun'er and Nier are also going? Who do you listen to? Didn't your aunt go back to her parents' house? Yuan frowned and looked at Chunqiu, a little puzzled, her sister-in-law had already returned to her parents' house, she still saw it when she left today, saying that it was something to go home, and now that the sister-in-law is not there, who can let a few people go down to the river.
"It's Sister Chunhua who said it" Chunqiu looked at Yuan's and said in an affirmative tone, "Sister Chunhua also said that this was agreed by the uncle, and they all went, mother, I want to go too, how many days have I been at home" After Chunqiu finished speaking, he ran to Yuan's side and pulled the corners of the quilt on the side back and forth, and suddenly the quilt surface spread on the kang was undulating, which directly led to Yuan's inability to dismantle the quilt properly.
"Oh, Niuniu, let go of my mother, the quilt hasn't been removed yet" Yuan pulled the quilt and motioned for Chunqiu to let go, "Mother, I still have something to do, if you want to go, call your second brother together, so that I can rest assured" Yuan didn't believe her nephew, but compared to Yang Chunjun, she was still more at ease with Yang Chunming.
Chunqiu was still lying on the quilt in frustration and didn't want to get up, but he heard Yuan's agreement coldly, and he directly agreed no matter what, "Mother, you let my second brother go?" Don't let him read anymore? Chunqiu then reacted to what her mother just said, you must know that since she beat his second brother and came back, her mother couldn't wait to lock her second brother in the room and not come out, why is she still changing sex now? Just because you don't worry about her? Chunqiu thought a little narcissistically in her heart, it turned out that she was still quite important in her mother's heart!
"Hmph, are you such an unreasonable person when your mother? Your second brother has been in the room for so many days, it's time to go out and let off steam, and" Yuan said this, glanced sideways at Chunqiu, and only looked at the other party "I don't believe that your eldest brother can control you, or your second brother can watch you, and my mother can rest assured"
The corners of Chunqiu's mouth twitched when she heard it, is her mother disgusted with her idea? Sure enough, she was thinking too much before!
"Okay, let's go, go early and come back early, your father went up the mountain today, and it is estimated that he can eat meat at noon" After Yuan finished speaking, he blasted the spring and autumn out, which delayed her from dismantling the quilt.
Chunhua had been waiting on the side for a long time, Yang Chunjun and Yang Chunni had already left, just she, in order to wait for Spring and Autumn, had not left yet. After seeing Chunqiu come out, he hurriedly ran over and said, "Why did you just come out, did the second aunt agree?" ”
"Agreed, but call my second brother, second sister, if you are in a hurry, go over first, my second brother and I will be there soon" Chunqiu looked at Chunhua's heart-scratching appearance, that is, the other party's heart had already flown out.
It's not good to make her wait.
"That's not good" Chunhua was obviously a little moved when she heard Chunqiu's words, but she still stood there and didn't move.
"It's nothing, don't I look for my second brother? Second sister, you go over and take a look first, there will be no fish if you go late" Chunqiu smiled, she didn't care at all, anyway, she went to play, otherwise she would be holding back at home every day, and she would go crazy sooner or later.
"Then I'll go, by the way, third sister, my eldest brother will take the fishing nets and buckets at home, you don't have to take anything" Chunhua finished explaining, and ran away like a gust of wind.
Chunhua looked up and smiled, then turned around and walked towards her second brother's study.
"Buckle button, second brother, second brother, go out to catch fish" "Second brother, second brother, my mother agreed" Chunqiu knocked on the door and spoke quickly.
"Second brother, second..."Brother, before Chunqiu finished speaking, the door creaked open, Yang Chunming showed his head from inside, looked at Chunqiu helplessly, bent down and touched Chunqiu's little head under Chunqiu's grinning appearance, "Third sister, you shouted second brother too often" Yang Chunming also didn't know what to say, okay? How so? He was working on the poems left by his master in the house, but he heard his sister's demonic voice, and it was quite coherent, so Yang Chunming couldn't continue to write it, so he opened the door helplessly.
"Hey, hey, hey" Chunqiu looked at his second brother's appearance and knew that he was in trouble again, so he hurriedly smirked, "Second brother, I didn't mean it, my mother said it, you have been in the room for too long, you should go out to let off steam" Chunqiu's face was not my fault, Yang Chunming's hands were itchy, and he stretched out his hand to play Chunqiu's brain.
"Second brother" Chunqiu complained pitifully to Yang Chunming, and his palm was covering the head that had been bounced.
"Okay, don't pretend, I'll go, you wait for me to change clothes first" Yang Chunming glanced at the green shirt on his body, this kind of clothes is not suitable for going down the river, and it is not easy to wash if it is dirty.
Yang Chunming looked at Chunqiu who was still pretending to be pitiful on the side, and decisively closed the door and went back to the house without thinking about it, he would not be deceived by his sister's tricks, you must know that his sister's skill is not a day or two, Yang Chunming has gone from panicking at the beginning to being indifferent now, but after a lot of blood and tears.
Chunqiu saw her second brother turning around and closing the door with a continuous handsome and nostalgic action, and knew that she had not deceived anyone, her brother was really boring now, Chunqiu tilted his head and thought with a pout.
Soon the door was reopened, Yang Chunming walked out in a dark navy blue shorts shirt, in order to facilitate the entry into the water, Yang Chunming also changed into a pair of straw sandals that Yuan had prepared a long time ago.
"Let's go, I'll come back for lunch in a while" Yang Chunming took the lead and walked to the front of Chunqiu.
"Second brother, you play Laipi" Chunqiu chased after him after speaking, Yang Chunming saw it and continued to run, and the two of them chased me to the entrance of the village.
met Huzi at the entrance of the village, and the people who were thinking in the spring and autumn were powerful, and they directly brought Huzi over. By the time the three of them reached the river, the water was already hot.
Basically, the river is full of people, but there are still mostly children, everyone is either holding a basin, or carrying a bucket, catching fish left and right in the water, the fish are very large, many of them jump out of the water because of the shallowness, and they are shining white by the sun.
"Second brother, third sister, Huzi, are you here? Our things are in the east, and there is a bunch of fish over there, which is our family's "Chunhua was catching fish in the water, and after seeing the people on the shore, she hurriedly craned her neck and shouted.
"Eh, I know" Chunqiu replied, and the three of them walked to their own house, not to mention, her sister They really caught a lot, looking at the full two buckets of fish, Chunqiu couldn't help but admire, because the fish are many and big, so these fish are not eaten, but are ready to be sent to Black Mountain Town to sell.
Chunqiu held a medium-sized basin of water and asked the two beside him, "Second brother, which one are you?" It's a basin or a bucket."
"Let's carry a bucket, it's better" Yang Chunming thought for a while and then said, in this situation in the water, it is better to put a bucket.
When Chunqiu heard this, he handed the bucket to Yang Chunming on the side, looked at Huzi and asked, "What about you?" ”
After the "bucket" Huzi finished speaking, he took the bucket of spring and autumn and followed it into the water.
Yang Chunming was bending over and pulling up his trousers, as if he had thought of something, and turned back to Chunqiu, who was about to enter the water. "You go into the water for a while, don't go inside, you know?"
Although the flood receded, the river was still more than half widened, and the deepest part of the water in the middle could reach Yang Chunming's waist, Chunqiu was too small, and Yang Chunming was worried that it would be troublesome if he accidentally stepped into the pit.
"I know, second brother, I'm on the shore" Chunqiu nodded, she didn't plan to go inside, she just wanted to come over and see if there were no freshwater shrimp, you know, spicy shrimp is delicious.
"Well, then I'll go down to the river" After Yang Chunming finished speaking, he walked towards Yang Chunjun.
Chunqiu looked up and went into the water as well.
Because of the flood, the river seems clearer than before, and the spring and autumn are bending down to look for shrimp with their little feet, thinking that there are no grass shrimp that the eldest aunt got back before, here are all river shrimp under the head.
There are many kinds of freshwater shrimp, such as green shrimp, river shrimp, grass shrimp, crayfish, white shrimp, prawns, etc., but in spring and autumn, the most common ones here are river shrimp and grass shrimp, and river shrimp and green shrimp are one.
The main purpose of Chunqiu's coming over today is for vanilla shrimp, but now she is told that there are no grass shrimp, only river shrimp, although river shrimp can eat shrimp skin, and can also be made into soy sauce fried shrimp, but she still likes prawns. Chunqiu looked depressed, and even the action of catching shrimp became careless.
Chunhua caught a pot of fish and was walking back with it, but after noticing the spring and autumn on the side, she immediately stopped, looked at the spring and autumn basin, and pouted. "Third sister, what are you doing with this little shrimp, our little chicks don't eat it"
"Huh? What? Chunqiu looked back at the spring and autumn, his head was a little confused, and he looked down at the appearance of the three or two small shrimp in the pot, this is a good person to eat!
"It's okay, it's okay, the third sister looks at the aquatic plants down there, it's full of prawns, it's more caught than you, if you want to catch it, go down there" Chunhua looked like I understand you, stretched out her finger and pointed to the aquatic plants below the spring and autumn and said.
"Really? How big is it? Chunqiu's tone was a little surprised, is there really anything here?
"It's just that my mother caught that two days ago, but it's not delicious, it's all mud" Chunhua wrinkled her nose after speaking, obviously dissatisfied with the dishes made by Gu's.
"..."That's her aunt can't do it, Chunqiu didn't care about the spring flowers beside her, "Second sister, then I'll pass" Chunqiu finished speaking, ran away with the basin, and by the way, poured out all the river shrimp in the pot.
"I..." Before she finished speaking, Chunhua Xin said, her third sister was so annoying, she didn't wait for her to finish speaking, she glared at Chunqiu's back with a hum, Chunhua hugged the pot and walked back...
Aquatic grass is a herbaceous plant that can live in water, it is the living place of some fish and shrimp, Chunqiu didn't care about it before, just rummaging under the pebbles, and only after she heard Chunhua's words did she realize how stupid she was before she realized the problem.
The aquatic plants in front of me are very similar to the previous rice seedlings, Spring and Autumn filled the pot with some water, put it in the water and let it sink to the bottom, and then reached out to peel off the aquatic plants, without the shelter of the aquatic plants, Spring and Autumn obviously saw the situation inside, the guys who looked big and transparent, and beards, weren't they the grass shrimps they were thinking about?
Chunqiu smiled, and then made a decisive move, grabbed one, and threw it into the basin after grabbing, and when this small piece of aquatic plants was cleaned up by Chunqiu, the water basin was already half full.
Chunqiu happily went back with the basin, and saw his second brother and Huzi carrying the bucket full of fish in their hands on the shore, hey, her brother and brother are really capable.
"Third sister, what's in your basin" Huzi is young, at an age of formal curiosity, seeing the ugly thing in Chunqiu's arms, he doesn't understand in his heart, why does his sister like such ugly things? Just like the loaches before it.
Children don't know what things are, so they can only divide them by beauty and ugliness.
"This is a shrimp" Chunqiu was in a good mood, and he spoke very briskly.
"Aren't shrimp small? How can there be a third sister, you are so big" Huzi was a little strange, thinking that the third sister was lying to him.
"No, you'll know when you get home" Chunqiu didn't explain, only said that he was watching it when he went home.
"Okay, big brother, they still have to catch it for a while, let's go first, don't run my mother should be worried" Yang Chunming didn't care about the two small ones, just raised his eyes and estimated the hour, it should be around noon, they are not going home and her mother should be anxious at home.
"Eh"*2
"Big brother, I'll take Qiu'er and Huzi back first," Yang Chunming said as he stood on the shore and said to Yang Chunjun, who was still catching fish in the river.
"Let's go back" Yang Chunni replied, Yang Chunjun was looking at the grass carp in front of him that weighed more than six catties, and he didn't have time to speak.
Yang Chunming didn't care, and after greeting the two people on the side, he went home.
Because the summer is too hot, Yang Li's for convenience, except for dinner, the rest of the time to eat is each room to do their own, of course, the kitchen of rice, oil and salt can be used, but things like common eggs and meat still have to wait until the time to eat together, unless the meat is bought at your own expense, or the fish is caught by yourself, so the spring and autumn children will go to the river to touch a few fish back if they have nothing to do, after all, the meat is still too expensive, and the family is reluctant to buy it, like this kind of game or fish that does not cost money is not easy to come by.
