Chapter 24: Returning Home
86_86276A heavy rain came and went quickly, and it did not have much impact on the wheat that was about to be harvested, Xia Ruo was already more than six o'clock when the two returned home, and Xia Mingming was one in the house with the lights on, and she didn't have time to hum with the two people If she didn't take her to the county seat, Xia Yu drove a four-wheeled car from the gate.
Seeing the eldest daughter and second daughter at the door of the hall, Zhao Lan, who was sitting next to her, hurriedly got out of the car and asked in a loud voice: "How is Nana's test, is she tired?" With that, he washed his hands in the basin and went to the kitchen to cook.
"Mom, take a break, let's do it." Xia Na saw that the two of them were tired, and there were still Mai Mang and Ye Zi on their clothes, so she hurriedly went into the kitchen with Xia Ruo to help.
Watching the two daughters one light the fire and the other skillfully adding water to the steamed buns, Zhao Lan's heart couldn't stop coming out, and the fatigue of the day seemed to disappear.
A daughter is a daughter, her own daughter is much more sensible than other people's sons. Listening to the words of the two daughters, Zhao Lan went back to the room to change her clothes and wiped her neck with warm water. I bent over to cut wheat all day, even though I was wearing long-sleeved clothes, the sharp wheat still drew red marks on the exposed skin, and the sweat was flushed, and it hurt hotly.
Xia Mingming followed from the hall to the kitchen, and then from the kitchen to the hall, but he didn't find time to complain about his grievances, so he had to stand under the eaves of the kitchen speechlessly, looking at the two sisters who were working together, and he was even more angry, why did everyone forget their grievances of being left at home?
"You've been going to the county for so long, and you didn't even bring me anything?" Thinking of this, Xia Mingming's nose was sour, and he almost cried.
Xia Ruo and Xia Na made up their minds that they would no longer get used to her problem, but they didn't want her to really cry out to show them, otherwise Xia Yu and Zhao Lan, who had been busy all day, would be too troubled, so they pointed in the direction of the hall: "Don't you see what we brought over, there are food, play, and beautiful clothes." ”
As soon as Xia Mingming heard this, she immediately ran over to the hall and rummaged, she thought it was all Xia Na's books, no wonder she smelled the smell of meat when the two of them came back, and thought that the two of them were carrying her to eat delicious food.
"Wow, QQ candy, big chicken thighs, beef...... Ahh At this time, Xia Mingming had no resentment just now, and rushed to the kitchen with the clothes in the last paper bag: "Is this for me?" "The big eyes are cute and wink, and I guess even if I don't give it to her, I will be messed up by her.
It seems that it is a wise choice to bring her a set of clothes, otherwise it is estimated that she will not be able to eat enough to stop her mouth.
Zhao Lan, who came out, saw Xia Mingming putting clothes on her body in a nondescript manner, and pulled her down with a frown: "I put the clothes on my body up without taking off them, are you wearing clothes like this?" ”
"Don't people look good at this dress?" Xia Mingming twisted his body coquettishly, and then carried his clothes back to the east house, it seemed that he was bound to go up to see the effect.
"Nana, did you take your sister to your uncle's house?" In addition to this, Zhao Lan couldn't think of other reasons why her two daughters came home and brought so many things, because Zhao Ming's official became bigger and bigger, and Liu Xiao's temper became bigger and bigger, in order to avoid some unnecessary troubles, Zhao Lan could always go less and go less, and when the two of them went to the exam, she also told them to come back as soon as possible after the exam, don't trouble them, how do you know that the two of them still haven't heard in their hearts.
It's so troublesome for people to eat and take, she blushes when she thinks about it.
"Oh, Mom, what do you want, just like my aunt, like who loves to go." Xia Ruo couldn't help but complain, and Xia Na, who had always been sensible, didn't say anything about her, so it can be seen that she agreed with her statement.
"And where did you get all this stuff from?" Zhao Lan frowned and asked, in addition to the younger brother who is their closest relative in the county, there are also people on the side, but they are all distant relatives and neighbors, and it is impossible to be so generous to the two little girls.
Zhao Lan didn't know about Xia Na's cold, otherwise she would be even more worried, so Xia Ruo thought about it, and then replied: "We met Aunt Sang'e in the county seat, and she bought these things." Thinking that Zhao Lan must ask clearly, Xia Ruo simply confessed to herself: "I helped Aunt Sang'e shoot an advertisement for her garment factory, which she rewarded me for, and said that she would give me money." ”
Xia Ruo's face was incredible, as if he had done something amazing.
Zhao Lan was amused by her, people bought things, next time she will return this favor, thinking like this, there is no pressure in her heart. smiled and patted Xia Ruo's head: "How old are you to shoot commercials, your aunt is joking with you, you really want other people's things." ”
Xia Ruo stuck out her tongue: "I don't want it, she has to give it, I don't believe you ask my sister." ”
Xia Na nodded while busy with the things in hand: "Aunt Sang'e has to give, we can't push it off, and the aunt said that if her clothes are sold well, she will give Ruoruo money, which is called a commission." ”
"Okay, okay, it's not going to be scored, she's a little kid and still has a commission, it's good if it doesn't affect your aunt to sell clothes." Zhao Lan sarcastically ridiculed her daughter for no pressure, and looked at the figure writhing around in the window of the east room, and sighed unconsciously: "What do you think you are doing with her clothes, it's not enough for her to toss?" ”
"It's better to toss clothes than toss you, you don't know your little temper yet." Xia Yu, who had changed into refreshing clothes, handed the cup in his hand to Zhao Lan, watched the two daughters clean up their dinner neatly, and also took a small horse to sit aside, "It's better to have two big ones at home, we don't have to do anything to eat." ”
"People are still cooking rice soup, why don't you praise me." Xia Mingming, who put on his clothes, ran over with a cigarette and turned around several times: "It's good-looking, I saw someone in the school wear it, but it's not as good-looking as mine." ”
"It's good-looking, it's good-looking, you can't eat it as a meal, go take it off and eat." Xia Yu pushed Xia Mingming, who was twisting in front of him, to the side, moved the small square table by the wall to the courtyard, and turned on the door lamp outside the hall, the courtyard was very bright, just enough to enjoy the cool breeze of the summer night.
Xia Mingming snorted and walked out with the steamed bun, she finally put it on and didn't take it off.
Zhao Lan cut the cooked food that Xia Ruo and the others brought back and put it on the plate, cut a mustard and put it on the plate, and the family finally sat down and ate together.
"Mom, are we done cutting our wheat?" Xia Ruo picked up the rice in his mouth, thinking that the two of them came from the south, and it was estimated that they had put the cut wheat in the beam field.
"Soon, there is only one acre of land left in the south of the river, and it will be cut tomorrow morning, and when it is all pulled to the beam field, we will take advantage of the good weather to beat the wheat." Because of Xia Yu, Zhao Lan was not very worried, thinking that the uncle and the fourth brother's family were cutting wheat, so she said to her husband: "After you get it done tomorrow, you can see which family has more left, and go and help them pull it twice." "The beams of several families are not far away, and threshing wheat is not a matter of one or two people, and the three families must do it together. This year, their family is relatively fast, and they should also go and help.
"Then I'm going to eat fritters." When the farmer is too busy to beat the wheat, he will go to the place where the fritters are sold to buy a few catties of fritters to eat, with Songhua eggs and hot water, it is also convenient to eat, so Xia Mingming thought of its essential partner fritters as soon as he heard about the wheat.
"Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat, be careful to eat and become a big fat man." Xia Ruo glared at her, and she didn't leave to eat for three sentences, talking about food and clothing, and ordinary people really couldn't afford to feed her.
Xia Mingming glared back not to be outdone, and when he saw Xia Yu's eyes, he hurriedly ate honestly.
"You guys hurry up and eat, rest early after eating, obviously you are not allowed to watch TV, you will go to work in Liangchang tomorrow." After eating, Xia Yu took a flashlight and carried a quilt to Liangchang to see the wheat, and was afraid that her daughters would not have time to stay up late to read, so she gave an order.
A few people agreed, ate and slept to recuperate, and prepared to help harvest wheat tomorrow
