Chapter 129: Shocked by the War
At noon, Erya had already recovered from Wen Yue's fright, and at the dinner table, Erya explained to Xiaolong about Wen Chao's sleep: "Xiaolong! Don't read too late at night, take Wenchao to sleep early, Wenchao doesn't sleep enough, it's not good for physical growth! Long-term lack of sleep will lead to insufficient oxygen supply to the brain, the child's intelligence will decline, and the reaction will be slower than normal, you don't want a nephew with dementia, right? ”
Xiaolong didn't seem to understand, so he asked suspiciously, "Sister-in-law!" But I'm like this every day, how is it not what you say? ”
Erya also knew that she couldn't explain it to him in too much detail, so she could only say it roughly: "This is different from everyone's physical condition, but you also have to pay attention to rest, people's energy is not inexhaustible." You must get at least four hours of sleep a day, otherwise something will go wrong after a long time! ”
Xiaolong still listens to his sister-in-law's words very much, since his sister-in-law said so, then he will follow it in the future, and he should say immediately: "I know!" Sister-in-law! I'll take an early break in the future! ”
Wen Chao heard his mother talk about himself, so he listened quietly, and when his mother and uncle finished speaking, he mentioned his request.
"Mother! I'd like to eat that pancake tomorrow morning! May I? ”
"Okay! However, you can't just eat alone, you have to call all the friends in the north, as well as your old lady (grandfather of the Wang family), as well as your grandfather (uncle) and grandmother (big milk) Your uncle, your big milk, your second grandfather, your second, grandma, do you have to call them? Erya often guides Wen Chao in these matters of daily life.
Wen Chao had long been used to it, so he nibbled on the ribs while nodding his head and letting out a "Hmm!" from his nose. Voice.
A dozen children left behind in the Northland. They all lived in the old house of Grandpa's family, which was also a brick house, and there were girls left in the north to take care of these children. They eat breakfast and lunch in the school, and only make one meal in the evening. Rice and meat are basically supplied by the Erya family. Vegetables are picked from the big grandmother's vegetable garden. In addition to the children's clothes to be washed and water to be boiled for the children in the morning and evening, they are actually quite leisurely. But. These girls are all diligent people, and after a few days of idle life, they can't stand it, so they also took the job of knitting shirts and socks back to the second aunt.
The grandfather's family got the news the night before, and the next day they didn't make breakfast, and they all came over to see the pancakes they had never seen before.
Several daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law of the big grandmother's family now have a very good attitude towards Erya. It's not like there was some inexplicable resistance to Erya at the beginning. They also came over early in the morning to help Erya do this and that.
Erya smiled and said to his grandfather and his family: "Don't worry, I have to get it for these children who are going to school first!" So they can go to school earlier! ”
Grandpa Tai waved his hand and said heroically: "This is how it should be, the children have to go to school." We don't have to rush and come first! ”
The children were already around the iron stove, and Erya was making pancakes while reminding the children from time to time: "Don't get too close, this iron bucket is very hot!" ”
This iron bucket is not the iron stove of later generations, it is also a small pot stove made of iron hammer, there is no yellow clay furnace in it, you can imagine the red burning with the charcoal fire, how high the temperature should be! In case of which child is hot. But it's all a terrible thing.
Fortunately, although the children were all around the stove and watched the fried pancakes of Erya in a new way, no one pushed or shoved, and they all waited quietly. Er Ya do a good one. Whoever hands it to continues, saying "Thank you, Auntie!" He quietly walked to the periphery and took a small bite of fragrant pancakes. Some children smell the fragrance, and although they still stand quietly in front of the stove and wait, the swallowing sound in their throats still often reaches the ears of those next to them.
Fortunately, the pancakes were fast, two quarters of an hour in time. He sent the children away and began to grow up.
Grandpa asked Er Ya while waiting: "Girl! How's your market? Why haven't you heard of it yet? ”
Erya turned the pancake pan around. While replying to Grandpa: "Soon! I hired someone to help tidy up the venue! I thought I should get a stone floor, we have a lot of rain here. If it always rains, it's not good to have too much muddy water in the ground! I'm still thinking about adding a shed to protect from the rain in the rain and the sun in the summer. In addition, I asked them to set up more than a dozen rows of platforms, so that the sellers could automatically and consciously follow the order of the market, otherwise they would be unmanageable! ”
When Er Ya was talking, a piece of pancake was good again, and Er Ya took it to Grandpa Tai to eat first, "Grandpa, you eat first and see if you can bite it!" ”
Grandpa took a bite, chewed it twice, nodded and said, "Okay!" I can eat it! It's so fragrant and delicious! As he spoke, he took another bite.
Erya remembered that she was choking on the more and more she was choking yesterday, so she asked the nurse who was helping on the side to go to the kitchen to scoop a bowl of gruel out: "Auntie! You go to the kitchen, bring a bowl of gruel, and give the old lady pancakes to eat! ”
The eldest daughter-in-law of the big milk family hurriedly said, "I'll go to Sheng, you're busy!" Without waiting for Erya to speak, he turned around and went to the kitchen of Erya's house, and after a while, he came out with a bowl of rice soup.
The big milk watched from the side, chatting with the second girl, "Liu girl! Do you know why your uncle separated the Daman couple? Are you still in such a hurry? It's like being kicked out! ”
Erya shook her head, "I don't know! Big know? ”
The big also shook their heads, "I just don't know!" That's why I ask you! Daman's child had nowhere to go, so he asked your second grandfather to borrow his old house to live in for a while. Our two families live close to each other, and this big daughter-in-law is like a crying bird all day long, crying everywhere, saying that your uncle, your aunt is eccentric, ruthless, and wants a nephew not a son, and Rory is a lot of ramblings, and who will tell whom! Your grandfather is angry and wants your second grandfather to drive her away. I can't figure out the situation, and I'm afraid that she will always be like this, and she will bring a few granddaughters-in-law to my family. I just want to ask your aunt, but I'm afraid that the question will hurt your aunt's heart. Now it's a headache for me! ”
What can I do if I talk to Erya? Erya can't take care of her sister-in-law's affairs, besides, this cousin-in-law has the biggest opinion on Erya's family. thinks that his father-in-law is holding on to their family and ignoring his son.
Erya thought about it and gave her an idea to the big, "Big!" I think she's idle, or you can find a way to find something for her to do. She doesn't have time, she doesn't have the opportunity to wander around and gossip! ”
The big laughed, "What can I do for her?!" That's right! There are so many jobs in your family, why don't you do it for her? ”
The second girl sneered and said: "That's because she is not willing to do it, how many times did the second aunt tell her that she should take her sister-in-law, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law to earn some pocket money." She said it at the time. Her sisters, sisters-in-law, and younger siblings are not willing to work hard and let others make a lot of money, and they will make three melons and two dates by themselves! Later, I specially explained to my second aunt that no one in her family would take the work in the future! lest I fall into the notoriety of oppressing my relatives! ”
The big grandmother also shook her head helplessly after hearing this, and there were some aunts next to her who also had this idea. They all lowered their heads in shame, pretended to be nothing, stood up to grandpa, and asked grandpa if he ate well!
After Er Ya made a few more pancakes, the third aunt had to learn how to make them, and Er Ya let go and let the third aunt make them, and she would guide them on the side!
"Third aunt! The bamboo dragonfly just let it go. The main thing is to turn this pot! ”
"Yes, that's it!"
"When you start cooking, pry a small crack from here, and then put the shovel here and don't move. Just turn the pot! ”
"Yes, yes! That's it! The third aunt is really amazing! ”
The third aunt can make pancakes alone without making two, the thickness is even, and it is even better than the second girl's rolling! Erya can't be admired if you don't admire!
After eating one, my grandfather wants to eat another one, but he is afraid of eating accumulated food (it is very uncomfortable for the elderly to eat accumulated food). Just around the stove, turn left and right. I can't decide if I want to eat another one.
Erya looked strange and asked, "Grandpa." What's wrong with you? ”
Grandpa said a little embarrassed: "I still want to eat another one, but I'm afraid that I will feel uncomfortable eating too much!" ”
Er Ya smiled. "Hey! Grandpa, what's so hard about this? When the third aunt is done, I will give you half of it, and I will eat half of it, so it will be fine! ”
Grandpa laughed, "Yes! Why didn't I think I could get half of it! The big and her daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law also snickered in a low voice. Wen Yue had already eaten one with his brother in the morning, and he wanted to eat it again now, so he pulled Erya's trouser leg and shouted, "Mother! The old lady's half is more and more to eat! ”
Erya hugged Wen Yue, kissed his little face with a smile, and said, "Okay! Give the little more and more to eat! Then he said to the big: "Yesterday to this little guy, I was so scared that I almost lost my breath!" ”
The big milk was startled and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Grandpa Tai and the other members also looked at Erya with curiosity and questioning.
Erya stretched out her hand to rub the top of Wen Yue's head, and said to them with some fear: "Yesterday, the blacksmith shop sent this pot over, and in order to try my hand, I made a few pancakes with a little cornmeal. As a result, the bear child choked without seeing it. If I hadn't been frying pancakes, I looked up at him and saw him stretching his neck hard. I hurriedly worked with the nurse, picking the pancakes in his mouth, and pouring water into him, and finally relieved him, otherwise he would have choked for a long time, but he would be dumbfounded, and it would be too late to save him! ”
When the women heard this, they were all frightened, and they all said: "This child has to be taken care of, if you are really negligent, it will cause a big disaster." Liu girl! You'll have to watch it in the future! ”
"Yes! Yes! Whether it's a big child or a child, you have to wake up! ”
"Not really! This kid knows how to stuff it in his mouth, and he doesn't know if he can swallow it! ”
Grandpa Tai angrily blamed Erya: "You two adults took a small child, and almost let the child die!" How did you do that? Remember, no matter what, it's not as important as a child! ”
Erya nodded hurriedly and responded to Grandpa's words: "Yes, yes! Grandpa is right, I will definitely take care of the children in the future! ”
Everyone was together, eating and playing, and finally dealt with breakfast, grandpa and his family went home, but the uncle suddenly came over!
Erya looked at the uncle's very strict appearance, and was a little uneasy, and hurriedly asked, "Uncle, but what happened?" ”
The uncle nodded with a sad face, and said in a low voice: "I just got news from the government, and there is a fight at the northern border pass." I don't know if Xiaohu knows how to turn around and come back? I heard that the emperor is still going to go on a personal expedition! But the ministers are right! ”
The second girl was shocked and asked in a panic: "Uncle! Is the message true? "Erya is most afraid of war. Man-made disasters are always more terrible than natural disasters, and they leave no way for people to live!
The uncle said with certainty: "Indeed! The government has issued a document asking us, the towns, to collect grain from the people in various jurisdictional areas, and each family must at least provide grain! ”
The uncle confessed again: "Don't let others know for the time being!" lest anyone cry! ”
Er Ya sat on the stool weakly, and her mouth was unconscious, "Hmm! "Boom! She wants to cry herself, but who is she crying with and who is she messing with? (To be continued)
