When it was almost lunch, Xiaohu was so hungry that he couldn't sleep, so he woke up Erya and got up together.

When they arrived at the uncle's house, they all got up sleepy-eyed.

Xiaohu saw that they were still rubbing their eyes, so he asked very strangely, "Huh! Why do you only sleep for a while? ”

Dahong smiled a little shyly: "Hehe! I smelled the smell of my mother's roast chicken, and I couldn't sleep. ”

"Oops! Me too! I thought you were already eating! I didn't even wash my face before I came running. "Laizi is the most funny, and he likes to talk with some small movements.

Xiangzi pointed to Laizi with a look of indignation: "I'm sleeping soundly!" I was woken up by this stinky boy! I said that I got up quickly after eating, and I followed him with my eyes closed. ”

"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed for a while, but they were much more sober.

It turned out that the eldest aunt and the second aunt hadn't slept since they came back. busy packing up the prey and mountain goods that were dragged back; and he was busy slaughtering two pheasants; was busy peeling chestnuts again, and even Hongguo, Anzi, and Xiaolong were busy after getting up. Of course, Xiaolong and Anzi make more trouble.

The eldest aunt has just cooked the chestnut roast chicken, and there are two vegetarian dishes that have not been cooked, and the rice is still "cooking in a firewood pot", first of all, boiling the pot, turning off the heat for five or six minutes in the middle, and then spreading the rice soup; This program is more important, and if you don't do it well, it will be pinched. Before making rice soup, I usually open the lid of the pot to see, and if it is too dry, I will turn a little water along the edge of the pot, and if there is too much rice soup, I will scoop some up with a spoon. Then cover the pot with a lid, add fire and burn until the surrounding area of the pot is steaming, and the rice emits a slight burnt aroma, so quickly stop the fire; Finally, there is the next fire, which is burned every two or three minutes, and the fuel used here is preferably flammable straw or pine hair. Cook it three or four times, and the rice is ready to eat. ）！ If you want to eat, you have to wait more than a quarter of an hour.

However, they did not sit back and wait for dinner. After washing and washing, I went to the yard and regrouped those mountain goods. There are white fungus, fungus, chestnut, walnut. Seeing that the pheasant and the rabbit were already in the cage, he didn't care anymore. Instead, they surrounded the two wild boars, triumphantly boasting about how brave they were at that time.

Dahong watched the comeder bragging there, so he crossed his arms and retorted: "You just blow it!" That's who climbed the tree, his legs trembled and he couldn't climb up. Why do we have to climb down to save you? ”

Laizi pouted and shouted, "How can I tremble? You have wronged people! I didn't climb the tree because the dead pig didn't rush at me. As he spoke, he kicked the wild boar that they had caught together. This pig is very seriously injured, and it has not died yet, and its vitality is really strong enough!

At this time, the uncle also got up, and when he saw that they were all in the yard, he discussed with them: "This time, Shanzi also went with him, should I give Shanzi something?" ”

"Uncle, you are in charge!" Erya and Xiaohu, with the meaning of the uncle. After all, the elders in the family need to bear the responsibility of good and bad!

"Hmmm! We listen to Daddy, too. "Daman Dahong is a matter of course to obey their father's arrangement.

"Okay! What do you want to give him, uncle, you arrange! "Xiangzi and Laizi thought: 'Even my father listens to you, and we dare not listen to you!'"

"That's good! I was on the road yesterday, watching Shanzi follow and help us drag things, and my legs were trembling from being tired, so I wanted to give him a pig back seat! Let's say there are thirty or forty pounds, do you think it's okay? Uncle thought again, put some more meat in the back seat to make up fifty pounds, this is more beautiful!

The uncle thought about it and said, "After eating in a while, you can help clean up this front yard and make it out of the open space." Daman went to find Lao Xie, who killed pigs in the back village, and dealt with the two wild boars this afternoon. In the evening, every household in the Zhuangzi is invited, old and young, to come over to 'play pig springs'. Xiaohu, after you clean up the yard, go to the house to say hello and ask them to bring their own bowls! Xiangzi, Laizi and Dahong, you clean up the yard and follow Xiangzi's father, go and borrow a few tables and big benches to come back. ”

At this time, Xiaohu answered: "Uncle, you don't need to borrow a table and stool, I will tell them by the way, each family will bring a table and four big benches, if there are few people, just bring a table and four big benches." In the afternoon, the family must be very busy, where do you have time to go out and borrow tables and stools everywhere! ”

Uncle looked at Xiaohu appreciatively, "Hmm! Right! Or Xiaohu is thoughtful! All right! Xiaohu, just do as you say, let them bring the bowl and then help bring the table and stool. ”

Xiaohu, who was praised, was a little shy, and nodded forcefully and naturally, "Hmm!" With a sigh, it was an answer to the uncle.

They were discussing things here, and the eldest aunt over there was shouting for dinner. The uncle remembered that he hadn't washed yet, and hurriedly ran to wash his face and rinse his mouth. Xiangzi went back to call his father, Daman and Xiaohu helped pull the table and set the bench, and Erya helped serve the food and take the dishes and chopsticks.

At the dinner table, the eldest aunt heard that she was going to invite someone to 'play the pig spring' at night, so she hurriedly asked: "Then his second aunt, Xiaoxia, and Xiaoxiu, please invite them?" That's right, second brother and daughter-in-law! Do you want to call Xiaoye back? ”

Before the second aunt could speak, the second uncle took over the conversation: "They don't call anymore, when the time comes, each family will send a knife of meat over, they will eat carefully, and they can eat a few more meals." The second aunt also followed up and said: "Xiao Ye and her aunts didn't let her come back, and wanted her to make more connections with her cousins and earn some money to buy a dowry when the farm was slack." Her grandmother was afraid that I would be worried, so she specially asked someone to bring me a message. ”

Uncle sighed: "Alas! Let the children suffer! Fortunately, now there is Xiaohu's daughter-in-law to take us to do things, and there is finally hope for the future. I was so anxious that I was going crazy, and I didn't dare to show it, for fear that the children would be afraid! Fortunately, our family and relatives are all good, and they all help us without saying a word, otherwise our family would have dispersed before Xiaohu married his daughter-in-law."

The uncle wiped the eye sockets on both sides with the big fish under the root of his thumb, and said to Daman's mother: "Children, Ming'er will send ten catties of pork to the second sister's family, and ten catties of pork, two rabbit meat, and two pheasants to the second brother and daughter-in-law's mother's house." The daughter and niece's family have five catties of pork, and when life is better in the future, they will be compensated more when they have the conditions. ”

The eldest aunt also wiped her tears and nodded, "Hmm! He didn't speak, and pretended to be buried in eating.

Only Anzi and Xiaolong on the table didn't understand the sorrow of adults, gnawing on chicken legs and grabbing chestnuts, while you grabbed me and hid and laughed. Even Hongguo silently lowered her head and pulled rice into her mouth, and even her favorite chestnut was threatened by Xiaolong to rob her, but she didn't make a sound. When Xiaolong was boring and gnawing on the chicken legs, she also took the initiative to clip a big chestnut to Xiaolong, Xiaolong immediately smiled and squinted, and began to be lively again.

Erya remembered that she had picked peppercorns, and she remembered the rabbit head. Hurriedly asked the eldest aunt: "Ah! By the way, auntie, do you still have the rabbit head? ”

The eldest aunt is still in a daze, wondering where the rabbit head was placed! The second aunt hurriedly replied: "Don't worry! Keep it! I was afraid that it would be broken, so I soaked it in salted water in a small jar next to the large tank where I soaked rabbit fur. Are you going to feed the yellow wolf? I don't know if they eat salty or not! ”

Erya sneered, "Second aunt, that's what we ate ourselves, I saw peppercorns on the mountain, so I picked a lot of them and came back, and I will make spicy rabbit heads for you to eat in a few days, which is quite delicious!" ”

"Oops! Sister-in-law, it's so numb, and it's so spicy, I don't want to eat it! Laizi couldn't wait to shake his head and refuse to eat the so-called spicy rabbit head.

"I don't eat either!"

"I don't eat either!"

"I don't eat either!"

Daman and Dahong want to express their stance one after another, saying that they don't want to eat! Xiaohu resolutely supported his daughter-in-law: "As long as it is made by my daughter-in-law, I will eat it." ”

Xiaolong didn't know what everyone was talking about, and when he heard that it was delicious, he hurriedly raised his hand, and wanted to pull his sister-in-law with a small melon seed full of oil, but the second girl leaned back and dodged away. "Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law! I want to eat, my sister-in-law makes it delicious! ”

Erya stretched out a hand, gently poked his bulging little cheeks wrapped in rice and meat, and said, "Haha! You're wrong, you really can't eat this spicy rabbit head, children can't eat spicy. ”

"Oh!" The little guy bowed his head in frustration and pulled the rice grains in the bowl.

The uncle sitting on the top edge spoke: "Little tiger daughter-in-law, wait for a while before you do it, there will be meat to eat these days." Don't eat it all at once, you have to live your life carefully. ”

"Yes! Yes, sir! Erya straightened her chest and answered loudly with military passwords. The people at the dinner table were startled, followed by a burst of wild laughter!
