Chapter 503: Off the Field
Mrs. Shi is really old, she hasn't seen her for so many years, and Xiaohu doesn't know her anymore.
"Aunt Shi! You're not having a bad time, are you, why are you still living like this? "Xiaohu really wants to be called Grandma Shi according to the seniority of the Wang family. It's just that when Aunt Shi first arrived in Wangjiazhuang, they called Aunt Shi and called her well, and he didn't think about changing his words at this time.
Old Lady Shi opened her mouth with several teeth open, and laughed: "It's hard for you, a rich man, to come and see me, an old woman." The old wife is like me, and it doesn't matter if she lives a good life! ”
Daman also knew that the climate in the north was not good, and it was impossible for a woman in the north to look young and shiny like a woman of the same age in the south. The old woman's face here was as if it had been covered with oily skin, thick and dry on the surface. If there are deep wrinkles, it will appear more stiff, dull, and lifeless, giving people the impression that there is a kind of sad life, which is indeed not as watery and spiritual as the old lady in the south. However, he couldn't explain these things to Xiaohu in front of Aunt Shi, so he had to smile and watch Xiaohu and Aunt Shi chatting with each other.
"Where's Daddy Shi? Why didn't you see him! ”
"He's working in the fields with my boss! I heard that your family grows potatoes in the west with a high yield, and he also wants to plant a few acres of potatoes. ”
Although this potato has a high yield and can be harvested twice a year in this place, Daman has not been planted. Because the brewery needs red sorghum to make wine, it can't own its own land and has to buy a lot of other people's wine. It's just that once sorghum is planted in this field, there is no way to interplant potatoes and other crops.
When Xiaohu heard that they were going to plant potatoes too, he suggested: "You guys are already a little late this year, so let's not talk about it, and next year it's best to plant them in February or March." Harvest in May and June, then turn over the soil and plant again, and harvest in September and October, so that you can plant two crops a year. However, fertilizers must keep up.
And the most important point, Aunt Shi must make it clear to your own family and other people around you who grow potatoes, if the potatoes have sprouted or the skin is green. It's all poisonous and can't be eaten. Don't be reluctant to throw it away, but don't hurt your family's life in a daze. ”
When Aunt Shi heard what Xiaohu said so seriously, she was shocked and sweated. "What! This sprouted potatoes. I just heard that I can't eat it, how can it cost people's lives? ”
Da Man smiled on the side: "Aunt Shi! You can't eat it, but you can't eat it because it will hurt people's lives. Otherwise, what can't you eat? ”
"Huh! You have a point! ”
After talking for a while, Aunt Shi remembered to pour water for Xiaohu and Daman to drink. The two brothers hurriedly waved their hands and refused. After inviting their family to dinner the day after tomorrow. So he took his leave and went back.
The next day, Daman went to his father-in-law's house alone to invite them over for dinner, and by the way, he brought his daughter Qingyun back to see her brother.
When my brother passed by here and was about to go to my little uncle's side, Qingyun wanted to follow, but my brother didn't take her. The little girl is not small, and I still remember it! Xiao Qingyun stood on horseback, lying on her father's back, wrapped her two arms around her father's neck, and told her brother in her father's ear: "My brother won't take me to my uncle's house." I'm mad! I'm still angry! ”
Daman laughed, "Oh! What should I do if my brother comes? You're not going to ignore your brother anymore? ”
"Don't! It's been a long time since my brother came. You can't ignore him. ”
"Then you want your father to beat your brother?"
Qingyun thought about it, shook her head tangledly, and suddenly thought that her father couldn't see herself, so she had to say, "Don't!" My brother will hurt. ”
"Then scold my brother?"
Qingyun shook her father angrily and shouted loudly: "Don't, don't!" My brother will hate me. ”
Da Man Qiang couldn't help laughing, and asked again: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so how do you want your father to be angry with you?" ”
"Daddy! I didn't want to get angry, I just wanted my brother to take me to play! ”
"That's not going to work! You're a girl, and you've grown up, so you can't mess around with your brothers. Otherwise, people will say that our family is not educated! "Daman patiently persuaded his daughter.
Qingyun hung her head on her father's shoulder hatefully, and muttered, "Here it is again, here it is again!" Who told you not to make me a? If only I were a kid, wouldn't I be able to play with my brothers! I blame you for raising me as a female doll, my grandmother dislikes me, and my brothers also dislike it. ”
Daman is so depressed that he wants to vomit blood! Hey! Can I be blamed for this?!
Qingyun who arrived home seemed to have forgotten the unhappiness on the road, brother, super brother, brother Yue, shouting super pro.
The more this Qingyun grows up, the more she looks like the Wang family, thin and thin, her figure is quite good-looking, and she doesn't have the baby fat of ordinary girls at all. Erya saw that Qingyun was walking and moving very briskly and powerfully, so she asked Wu Tong: "Did Qingyun learn martial arts from her father?" ”
"Brother and sister! Did you know that? When she was two or three years old, her father began to teach her to climb trees, jump pits, and somersault. She is now in the tree, and if she is not afraid that you will laugh at me and brag, this girl is more agile than the monkey in the tree. ”
Erya was quite surprised, this is also a stunt!
"It's also her ability to teach herself to achieve this stunt, and you told her not to waste it. This martial arts practice is the same as reading and literacy, and if you don't practice for three days, you will be unfamiliar. ”
Wu Tong nodded, "That's it!" Her father took her to practice martial arts early in the morning, she went to my mother's house, my mother woke up early in the morning, and as soon as she woke up, she put Qingyun on and let her practice martial arts. This kid is okay, even if her father is not supervising her, she can do what she should do in a proper manner, and she is not lazy at all. ”
Qingyun didn't know that she had been praised by her mother a little too much, so she hugged her younger brother Brother Yuan in the hut, sucked Brother Yuan'er's little face for a long time, and then "Smack!" let it go, and the painful Brother Yuan cried loudly "wow, wow". Then, she played a scoundrel and stuffed Brother Yuan into the nurse's arms, and then hugged her little cousin, and wanted to play tricks on Brother Yuan, and make fun of Xiao Wenfan. Who knows, Xiao Wenfan is not afraid of pain by nature. Not only did he not cry, but he hugged her head in turn. took a hard bite on her face, and suddenly, the upper and lower pairs of small tooth marks fell on Qingyun's face. At this moment, it was Qingyun's turn to "Ah! "I screamed and cried. Erya and Wu Tong hurriedly stood up and were busy with these three little guys, coaxing and scolding and looking for ointment, Qingzhu, Wen Chao, and Wen Yue were very unkind jokes Qingyun made herself, and Qingyun cried even more sadly.
Grandpa didn't know that he was happy because he heard about Qingzhu and Wenchao's good deeds. Or because he was worried about the important event that the ancestral tomb needed to be rebuilt, but on the day of Daman's banquet, he was supported by his eldest son. trembling and walked to the big venue where Daman held a banquet. was so shocked that the little tiger's eyelids jumped, and he hurriedly found a doctor to take a good look at his grandfather's physical condition.
When the doctor said that there was no big problem with the grandfather (that is, there would be no problems at the banquet for a while), Daman dared to arrange the grandfather to the main seat. specially asked someone to bring a Taishi chair with armrests for grandpa to sit on. Even on a warm April day. I also made thick cotton cushions and cotton backrests to cushion them.
Grandpa was set, and the stage over there started singing. Because many people come to Hepu Town every year for the New Year, and they have to temporarily set up a stage every year, Daman and his stewards who came out of the Hepu Town School have already become perfect. The gongs and drums of the troupe were beating loudly, and the erhu and flute were blowing all over the sky, and everyone found that the town was only allowed to turn over the grain in this wide cement drying field. When did there become an extra-large stage?
Before everyone had time to examine how this stage suddenly grew here, they were attracted by the martial arts drama adapted from "The Champion of Civil and Martial Arts". Because as soon as Wu Zhuangyuan appeared, he applauded more than a dozen 'somersaults' one after another.
Although life here is much better than in previous years, entertainment life is still very poor. When you work in the fields during the day, you can still talk about meat, gossip, and make boring jokes, and at night you can only go to bed and make villains. When it comes to farming, especially when you can't go anywhere in the ice and snow, it's most boring for a family to stare at each other. Today, when I heard the sound of gongs and drums beating in the town, and the melodious music of flutes accompanied, they all straightened up from the ground and listened quietly. It wasn't until the voice stopped for a while that someone asked, "When did this town invite a troupe?" ”
There was a hired worker of the Wang family, so he replied loudly: "It is the sons of our two brothers who have been admitted to the Jinshi, and today we invite our family to eat and drink!" ”
"When your two owners gave birth to their youngest son, they didn't invite the troupe, but now they are invited, it seems that they are really happy!"
Everyone here knows that the real owner of so many places is Xiaohu, and Daman, who is in charge here, is called the second owner by them, and there is also a share of Daman in these industries, and the image of the second owner is also called.
"That's different! The second owner already had a son before, and it is not rare to have another son. This eldest son has won the Jinshi, which is something that many scholars have been looking forward to for generations! But let his son win in one fell swoop, which is the great glory of the glory of the ancestors. If it weren't for the fact that their Wang family had already won the champion before, I was afraid that it would be even more lively today. ”
"Ouch! As soon as you said it, I found out, why did this Wang family suddenly have a fever in the ancestral grave? I heard Wang Shouzheng of their Wang family say that the Wang family from the south was also poor more than ten years ago, and they couldn't even eat enough. That is, they have made a fortune in the past ten years, and they have opened this workshop and that workshop, and they have opened up wasteland here and there, and they have bought land here and there, and they have been champions, and they have become Jinshi, and they have gone crazy when they look at this day. I really don't know where their ancestral graves are buried! ”
There happened to be one on the side who was with the ancestral home of the Wang family, and heard some things about the Wang family from the older generation. Then he also said: "Don't look at the Wang family! This Wang family was also a family of all families back then, just because when they were in a foreign dynasty, they were robbed and killed by foreigners, and they lost the huge family business at once, and the population did not leave much, and then they fled and fled in all directions. If you really want to talk about it, it is normal for the Wang family to have today's momentum. It's just that according to the elders who said that the Wang family used to have, the current Wang family is not even half of it. ”
Hearing this, someone immediately sighed: "Tut! If you want to say that this ancestor is really like this! It seems that God wants to return to them all the things that were lost from their ancestors in this generation! Otherwise, how could their Wang family develop so violently all of a sudden? ”
"Cut! Look at what you're saying! Who knows what God thinks? (To be continued.) )
