44. Come back
When Ah Hao came back, he also specially brought some gifts from the county seat, including toys bought for Ah Niu and Ning Ge'er's stickers. Some fresh food, etc., although it costs not much silver, but it is better to have a heart. The most important thing is that he actually brought back three lambs.
"Did you buy it?" Geng Qiu asked curiously.
"Yes, it's cheap. We have a lot of grass here, and it is still very cost-effective to raise sheep. When you grow up, it's okay to pull it out and sell it, or it's okay to kill your own family and eat it. Ah Hao replied.
"Yo, yes, I know how to make more money for my family." Geng Qiu said with a smile.
"Hmph." Ah Hao didn't bother to pay attention to him, and went directly to the clean room. There are few adults in their family, so they deliberately set up a bathroom at the beginning, and the bathing conditions are not bad.
has been living outside for almost a month, and the two sets of clothes that Ah Hao brought are dirty, although he has washed them indiscriminately, but he is completely coping, and the washing is not clean at all, and even the two sets of outer robes and robes in the back are simply not first, and they are brought back directly. If it weren't for the lack of clothes to change, he wouldn't have washed them at all, and Ah Xuan taught him to wash them.
Living in the inn, there is a special person to wash clothes, and it only charges two or three dollars, but Ah Hao doesn't like outsiders to wash his clothes, and most of them are poor students, and few people pay to wash clothes. Therefore, as soon as he got home, he said, "Brother Qiu, help me find clothes, I want to take a good bath." The clothes on my body are about to stink. ”
"Okay, you go wash first, and I'll get you clothes." Geng Qiu said as he went back to his room to find clothes for him. Although the conditions are much better now, there are not many clothes per person, and Ah Hao is already the one with the most clothes in the family. If it weren't for the New Year, the third aunt Tete made a new set of clothes for Ah Hao, and there would not even be a change of clothes at this time. Geng Qiu took out a set of the oldest clothes for him, and he deliberately didn't bring them when he went out for the exam this time.
Ah Hao is a very clean person, there are only three sets of clothes worn outside, and one set of clothes has been worn for a few days. Fortunately, the weather is not hot, and I can barely wear it for two or three more days.
After washing himself from head to toe, Ah Hao felt comfortable, changed into a clean underwear, put on a robe and went back to the room to catch up on sleep.
"Hey, dry your hair before you go to sleep, you can't sleep with your hair wet." Geng Qiu shouted like an old mother.
"Got it." Ah Hao wiped his hair with a cloth towel, yawning again and again, really tired.
Geng Qiu soaked a total of three sets of clothes that he changed out of and brought back in the basin, rubbing them one by one, they were really a little dirty, and some even smelled.
The third aunt said distressedly: "It's really bitter for the eldest son." If this was before, there must not be a special personal attendant, where would it be like this? I didn't have to change my clothes. ”
"With our current conditions, where can I invite someone to wait for him, or the next time I go to the exam, I will accompany him to wait for him." Geng Qiu said with a smile. Washing such a large basin of clothes, he remembered what happened when he first entered college, and there was a classmate in the dormitory who had never washed clothes since he was a child. In the summer, don't you still have to engage in military training, and there are only two sets of military uniforms that can be changed and washed. When he took a bath, he wore it directly on his body and rushed with water, even if it was over, the quality of the military uniform was not good anyway, and he threw it away directly after the military training. People don't feel much yet. At that time, the school conditions were not good, and there were no washing machines.
But in the next week, the clothes that this classmate changed were thrown into the basin, and then they all became old and smelly. The others really can't stand it, and they must let him learn to wash clothes. Good guy, he poured half a bag of laundry at a time, and then stood in the basin for a while, and then put it under the water pipe, a burst of rushing, and finally regardless of whether the laundry detergent was flushed or not, he directly put it on the rope on the roof of the building, but it was dry in half a day, but the laundry detergent marks on the clothes were not washed clean.
He also took it back and put it on. But this guy is still thin and tender, and his skin is red and swollen, and he is scared to death, and he called his mother over the phone. Then, his mother helped him wash all his clothes, shoes and socks again. Then I started the operation of doing his laundry every two weeks.
This behavior continued until the sophomore year. He talked about a girlfriend, and after knowing that his mother was going to come to help him wash his clothes every two weeks, she immediately broke up with him, and everyone knew about it. This kind of mother-in-law boy, girls can't stand it. So until his senior year, he didn't find another girlfriend, although he learned to do laundry after his first girlfriend abandoned him.
"Ugh." The third aunt had to sigh heavily. It is impossible for Geng Qiu to follow to take care of Ah Hao. I won't talk about a bunch of things at home, and Ah Hao himself won't agree.
Ah Hao took a nap for more than half an hour, and it was time for dinner. Ah Niu stumbled and Ning Ge'er came back. The two have been giggling and laughing, playing non-stop. As soon as Brother Ning saw the series of clothes drying in front of the door, his eyes lit up, and he asked repeatedly: "Cousin Hao is back." ”
"Yes. I brought you something back, go to Brother Qiu and ask for it. Ah Hao lazily didn't even comb his hair and walked out of the room.
"Toot toot." Ah Niu glared at Ah Hao, shouting in his mouth, and he didn't know much. After nearly a month, the one-year-old child didn't know him anymore.
"Ah Niu, don't you know your father?" Ah Hao squatted down, picked up the little fat man, kissed him fiercely, and lifted it up a few times. This will be a one-year-old child, walking is not stable, but it is only a month, Ah Niu has learned to walk, when he is at home, Ah Niu can only hold on to things to walk a few years old, standing is already standing very steady. Now I'm going to play outside with Brother Ning.
Because he went out to take the exam, Ah Hao missed Ah Niu's first birthday. Geng Qiu and the others only held a small Zhou banquet for Ah Niu. The people in the village didn't know about it at all. Geng Qiu put all the things at home, a little better, on the table for Ah Niu to catch, but this guy has gone through almost everything, and it is obvious that he can't see what his favorite is? Even the third uncle and three aunts were dumbfounded, and they didn't know what to say about the auspicious words, and then anyway, Ah Niu took the same, they just said a few words, and the first birthday banquet was over.
Ah Niu was so jogged by him, such a familiar playful action, as if he remembered Ah Hao, and giggled happily.
Geng Qiu took out two strings of sugar gourds and handed them to Ning Ge'er and Ah Niu. Although it is an ordinary food, it is still the first time to buy it, Brother Ning is obviously very happy, take it and bite it slowly, Ah Niu is really the first time to see the sugar gourd, very curious to look left and right, and when he saw Brother Ning biting, he couldn't wait to stuff it into his mouth.
"Be careful, slow down, slow down." Geng Qiu hurriedly grabbed it and fed him slowly, afraid that he would choke.
The family was reunited and had a hearty dinner. Today, there is braised pork that Ah Hao specially brought back, and the third aunt cut a large plate, added some garlic sprouts and fried it, which is particularly fragrant, and everyone loves to eat it.
The family was eating and talking, and Ah Hao asked: "Brother Qiu, the rice seeds you want are not available this year, but Steward Zhou said that he has already made an agreement with others to give us a little bit of the seedlings that have been raised by others." I'm afraid it's a little less, not enough to plant three or four acres of land. ”
"Really, great. I've got all the fields out and I'm thinking about what to plant. Exactly, leave a piece. The others are just like the people in the village, growing some miscellaneous grains. After the rice seedlings come back, they can be planted directly. It also saves us from breeding ourselves. Geng Qiu thought to himself, let me breed by myself, I don't know if I can breed or not.
"I have to go to the state capital in April to take the exam. I'm going to go at the end of March, and I guess it's going to take almost a month. I can't help with the things in the field. Third Uncle and Brother Qiu, you two will do it by yourself, don't get tired. ”
"Yes." The third uncle nodded.
"Don't be so bothered. We will take care of the affairs at home, so you just need to prepare your homework with peace of mind. Geng Qiu said with a smile. That is, there are not many things to do at home, so you just have to do your homework with confidence. On this day, it is getting hotter and hotter, so I will bring you two more sets of clothes out and take them for a change of clothes. The third aunt also smiled.
"Yes, do you want to make him two more sets of clothes, is there enough fabric at home? Third aunt, you have to be busy, I asked Aqing's sister-in-law to come over to help. Geng Qiu hurriedly said.
"There is no shortage of fabrics at home, but the time is a little urgent, I knew earlier, I started doing it a few days ago, and this time I really have to let the Aqing family help me sew a coat." The third aunt thought about it and said.
"Then I'll talk to Sister-in-law Aqing tomorrow." Geng Qiu said.
A few people were talking, Ah Qing came, he came to ask about the situation, although Ah Xuan asked him to bring a letter back, but Ah Hao went home to his home, and there was no one. They all went to work in the fields.
"Brother Qing, have you eaten, do you want to eat something at our house?" Geng Qiu said and went to get the dishes and chopsticks.
"Don't eat, don't eat, it's burning at home." Ah Qing resigned.
"There's still food at home, let's have some together. I'm about to finish eating, I'm going to your house, your brother has also passed the exam, and I have to ask my sister-in-law to help make a dress. Ah Hao also said.
Geng Qiu had already filled a large bowl of brown rice and pulled Ah Qing to sit down. Ah Qing was not good at pushing again, and his stomach was really hungry, so he took the chopsticks and pulled several large mouthfuls of rice before he sandwiched a small chopstick dish. Geng Qiu saw that he was embarrassed to eat vegetables, so he brought clean chopsticks over and picked up a few chopsticks for him and put them in his bowl. made Aqing's face red, and he said vigorously: "Okay, okay, I'll do it myself." ”
The others were already half-full, the third aunt took Ah Niu, the third uncle finished the last bite of his bowl, took Ah Niu's bowl, and the third aunt went outside to feed Ah Niu, and Ning Ge'er was also full and ran out.
"My brother has passed the test? Did you do well? Ah Qing ate quickly, finished a bowl of food, and asked.
"Yes. He's fine, tell you not to worry. Ah Hao said.
"That's good." Ah Qing got the quasi-letter and finally let go of the big stone in his heart. Geng Qiu's food was much better than what he usually ate, and he was hungry, so he ate two large bowls of brown rice unconsciously, and cleared all the dishes on the table. This time, when he came to his senses, his slightly dark face became more and more red and was about to drip blood.
Seeing him like this, Geng Qiu was busy giving Ah Hao a look, and Ah Hao began to say some things about Ah Xuan, and sure enough, Ah Qing's expression slowly became normal. Geng Qiu went to the house and took the snacks that Bao Ah Hao brought back and asked Ah Qing to take them home. Ah Qing refused to take it, Ah Hao said: "Aren't I going to ask my sister-in-law to make clothes?" A pack of snacks, grab it. ”
Ah Qing had no choice but to take it home. Then, Aqing's sister-in-law and her mother-in-law, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law couldn't even take care of eating, so they came over, they and the third aunt compared for a while, cut a coat out, and took two more gowns, took three clothes home to sew.
At night, after coaxing Ah Niu to sleep, Ah Hao was full of energy to provoke and tease Geng Qiu, and the two of them were close to each other, of course, they had to make love. So much so that after getting up in the morning, Geng Qiu even had soft legs, but Ah Hao was refreshed, and he punched him vigorously, and when he went to the study to read, he glanced at his cross room with ulterior motives, and Geng Qiu immediately felt his teeth itch. This guy will always make him feel like a bullied little daughter-in-law.
